He Held it Back so Long.

BERLIN, January l5.-Prof. Koch's re-
port issued to-day as to the ingredients
which compose his lymph, considering
the importance OF the subject, is Of the
most brief nature. It says that the
lymph consists Of glycerine, and the ex-
tract from pure cultivation Of the tub
ercle bacilli.
Prof. Koch says: "Since publishing
two months ago the results OF my exper.
iments with the new remedy for tuber.
culoSis, many physicians who received
the preparation have been enabled to
become acquainted with its properties
through their own experiments. So far
as have been able to review the state
ments published and the commuuica-
ttons received by letter, the indications
have been fully and completely con-
trmed. The general Concensus OF opin-
ion Is that the remedy has q specific ei-
lect upon tubercular tissues and is there
fore applicable as a very delicate and
sure reagent for discovering latent and
diagnosing doubtful tuberculosis pro.
CeRass.
Regarding the curative effects of the
remedy most reports agree that, despite
the comparatively short duration Of It's
application, many patients have shown
more or less pronounced improvement.
It has been affirmed that in not q few
cases even cure has been established.
Standing by itself is the assertion that
the remedy may not only be dangerous
in cases which have advanced too fas-A
fact which may forthwith be conceded
but also that 1t actually promotes the
tuberculoIs process, being therefore in
jurious. During the past six weeks
myself have had opportunity TO bring
together further experiences touching

ZION OF providing the accuracy OF my
indications, 1t was needless for any one
to know what the remedy contained or
whence It was derived. On the contrary
testing would necessarily be
more unbiased, the less people know Of
the remedy itself. Now, after sufficient
testing, the Importance of
the remedy is proved, my next task is TO

Ciple underlying the discovery to other

WESTINGHOUSE FINANCES.
The House Believed to bo seriously Embar-
rassed-The Attorneys Statement /.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, Jan. l5.-The an
nouncement this morning that the Ad'
yisory Board appointed by bankers and
business men Of this city to look into
the affairs OF the Westinghouse interests
with view Of loaning the various con-
Germs in need OF assistance S5O0,00O to
carry them through their present dnan-
cial difficulty, had returned the checks
notifying the subscribers 1t would not
be advisable to use any of the fund,
ocCasloned no surprise, as the action
had been expected for several days. The
result was there was no material decline
in the stocks today.
Financiers and stockholders now
favor the appointment Of receiver for
the Westinghouse Electric Company
and an application to court looking to
that end was expected this morning, but
up to noon 1t had not been made. II is
stated that Mr.. Westinghouse ID now on
New York after funds and II successful
in raising the necessary amount he will
be- able TO weather the storm. II is said
Mr.. Westinghouse telegraphed from New
York to-day that matters there are rosy.
It was generally believed that there
were two reasons which led the advisory
committee to return the money to the
subscribers. One, that the resolution
under which the committee is acting
entailed upon them the arrangement
for the extension OF all the claims Of
general creditors, something which
would lead to weeks Of hard work, and
for which the members did not have
time. The other reason was that the
committee could not use the money
without practically assuming the direc.
tion OF the business OF the company,
which they did not care to do. The
capital stock of the company is $4,000.
900 and the par value Of the stock $50.
1t is now seemingly selling at 81.
