An Extraordinary Cnse.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, May 12.-One oil
the most extraordinary cases in med
ical annals is that OF Miss Tolleson, a
student at leading institution in this
city. The young lady was attacked
with tonsilitis a few days ago,
her temperature rising to LOG and
then to 10S, her death being mo-
mentarily expected, but to the utter
CONSERVATION of the attending pbysi.
clans her temperature continued to
rise steadily to 1853. breaking the re.
cord. also several thermometers which
could not record any higher. Strang-
est OF all is the fact that the young
lady is improving and may recover.
There is but one parallel case on re-
cord. that OF victim of peritonitis at
Omaha, Neb., whose temperature
reached 1872 degrees.

Cuban Reciprocity Treaty.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-It is init
mated that Secretary Blaine contem-
plates a flank movement upon the Nc
kinley tariff law. This is disclosed by
dispatch from Madrid, which gives
some OF the arguments General Foster
brought to bear in order to have Spain
endorse the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. Among other things the United
States government notified the Span
ish government that an effort would be
made before the next congress to have
the high duties on Savannah tobacco
scaled down. This assurance was ex-
tended as mark Of good will on the
part OF this government as it materially
aided in securing SPANS consent to the
reciprocity treaty. 1t has been ex-
pected all along that the democratic ma
jority in the next congress would have
a great deal of fault to find with the
Mckinley act but at the same time
Secretary Blaine will also have some
important amendments to propose.
The tobacco schedules in the Mckinley
act put the duties SO high as to be al
most prohibitory and the tobacco
houses Of HAVANA have already been
seriously affected by the act. The
secretary's efforts to have the excessive
duties lowered will be welcomed by
the Cuban tobacco houses, but it is
certain to widen the breach between
Messrs. Mckinley and Blaine as to the
nature of tariff legislation.

Our Strength I'm Gillian Waters.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The United
States vessels in Gillian waters are
the Baltimore and the flagship Pensa-
cola, with Rear Admiral Mccain in
command. The San Francisco when
last heard from had left Peru and will
likely join the Baltimore and Pensa-
cola early this week. With the
Charleston the admiral would have
under his command the three finest
ships OF the new navy. besides the
Pensacola. which is the best of the
wooden class in the service. With
these four ships it is not anticipated
by naval officers that much opposition
would be met with should the United
States see fit to capture the Itata, even
should she be REINFORCED by the best
ships OF the insurgents.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Secretary
Blaine's attack OF illness in New York
has put many OF his friends here to
discussing his health. An official
friend who sees him daily when in
Washington describes his condition
''as buoyant as "a balloon and at times
almost as likely to collapse" His
general condition of health is good,
however. Mr.. Blaine is not rugged
man, physically. but he is likely to
live as long and be as vigorous as any
man of his years. The secretary
looks fairly robust when walking on
the street. His shoulders are slightly
bent forward, his face is paid and
colorless and to some his eyes appear
heavy and baggy. yet these character
istics are little more marked than they
were when he made his spirited cam
paign six years ago. OF late, how
ever. Mr.. Blaine has failed to keen up
his customary care as to dieting and
the carelessness has had its effect.
He attends frequent dinner parties
which the spirit OF the occasion leads
him to throw aside all caution and to eat
viands and pastry which do not agree
with him. Mrs. Blaine understands the
care he must exercise and usually sits
beside him and prevents his eating the
things which will have n bad effect
but when she is not at hand the secro-
tary enjoys everything put before him.
When the Italian affairs was at its
height, the secretary attended dinner
party and ate freely OF plum pudding
atiame with rum. The next day he
had an acute attack Of indigestion
which developed into govt. 1t was
this attack which held him fast at
home while the Fava affair kept the
state department in hot water and pre-
cipitated the country into an interna-
tional jangle. All OF the crisp letters
to Rudini which came from Blaine at
that time were written from his sick
room. He is a sensitive man. and
when he feels indisposed he immedi-
ately sends for his physician. DIR. Lin
coin. After throwing off the attack he
was in fair health up TO the time of
his going to New York. and his close
friends here believe that it was only
inattention to diet at some New York
dinner party that brought about the
present sickness.

THERE are no abuses at which we
shudder as we do at those that are

asylum. for purposes of revenge or

frightful possibilities. II it is the duty

THE fact is that when a trust is

The fact is that when trust is or
ganized it's methods are invariably UNI
economic. 1t is certainly not econo-
my to burden an industry with a
largely increased fictitious capital,
often four times its original capitaliza-
ton. on which the combine must pay
a dividend, and yet that is what every
trust has done. 1t is not economic
production to arbitrarily condemn the
capital and labor engaged in any in

quarter to one half the working time,
which is the method OF all trusts.

NEWCASTLE, Sept. S.-The proceed
inGs Of the trades union congress, now
in session here. and representing the inter
ests Of over 100000 skilled and unskilled
workmen of Great Britain, are attracting
widespread attention. In some quarters the
congress is termed workmens parlia-
ment, and the movement is looked upon as
likely to lead to important political results.

ton favoring the creation of state board
Of arbitration, with view of preventing

workmen and their employers.
WANT AN ElGHT-HoUR LAW.
In the course of TO days session. after
considerable discussion, the trades union
congress, by a large majority, approved of
a resolution favoring an international eight
hour law.
Inc committee Of arrangements had
serious dispute and SONS warm exchange OF
views over the toasts which are to be pro-
posed at the banquet which will celebrate
the closing of the congress. Some OF the
most loyal Of the labor delegates on the
commit ee mentioned, proposed that
the time honored toast THE queen and the
royal family should be drunk 70 this
proposition there was considerable oppos-
tion. Some of the committeeman were not
in favor of drinking TO the royal family,
though they raised no objection
TO the queen. Matters waxed so interesting
that for time it looked as il both "the
queen" and the royal family would be
dropped from the toast list. Upon rehec-
ton, however, the committee came to q
compromise understanding aud agreed that
the queen and the country should be the
loyal toast.

which has Just been issued, sets forth that il
IA to be regretted that the government has
given considerable balance of power TO

capital and labor, and into the best means
Of preventing strikes. Tee report held that
in SO giving balance in favor of
capital the government is willfully
biosing the inquiry now i'll progress
upon the side of the employers of

lion of labor is making satisfactory progress
throughout the country in spite of the at

fusing to confer with representatives OF the
| different trades unions.
