BERLIN, August 1.-TCopyrighted by
the New York Associated Press. THE
frauds on the Deutsche bank perpetrated
by it's clerk, Franck, and Broker Schwie-
ger, have excited the whole German
financial world to degree unknown
since the embezzlement OF two directors
of the Leipsig Disconto Goessellschaft
The full extent of the frauds on the
Deutsche bank have not been disclosed.
1t js believed that future returns of
fofged papers will swell the total amount
Involved in the frauds to an enormous
sum. Franck dealt largely in lottery
speculations and carried on general
speculation game under the noses of the
bank directors for years with an adroit's:
ness suggesting that Schweiger is right
in his statement that Franck originated
the frauds and used him as tool. The
bank has offeled reward for the frauds
capture. The immediate effect
of the swindles threatened
for a moment to produce grave
financial crisis. A portion of the suf-
fering banks were involved in the South
American collapse, and weakened
through the existing course embarrass-
strain may tend to break them down.
Luckily, the press and public accepted
the statements of a reassurirg character
issued by various banks. ~ssr
THE KAISER HoMEwARD BOUND.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
with Emperor William on board,
touched at Dronthein today, homeward
bound. All Of the party are in the best
of health and are timed to arrive at
Kiel on Wednesday.
WILLIAMS CRUSADE ON DRUNKENNESS.
The emperor's projected measure for
the repression Of public drunkenness
has become, under the manipulation o.
the ministers, merely proposal that
the landtag should increase the penal
ties imposed on drunkards. Ministers
Herrfurth and Miguel and others concur
in the belief that the people would not
tolerate active legislative interference
with drinking. The emperor thinks.
differently. A draft Of the proposed bill
was sent to him and returned with sug-
gestions concerning state supervision Of
the healthy qualities OF beverages.
Impressed with recent official statist
les concerning the growth of criminal
offenses and suicides arising from drink,
the government has opened an inquiry
in regard thereto, and is drawing evil
deuce from the hospitals and other med
ical sources concerning the increasing
use of potato spirits and other impure
aicohols, and how far the use OF these
spirits may be regarded as leading
factor in crime.
The official returns of suicides in Ber-
lin during the first fortnight OF July
shows total of 147. The cause of this
enormous self-destruction is attributed
chiefly to drink. The emperor is
friend of good beer, but blames bad
drink for many of the violations of the
law throughout the empire, and more
particularly in the great cities.
THE LATEST JEWISH EDICT.
i, A fresh decision OF the Russian gov
ernment concerning it's policy towards
the Jews, debars children Of Hebrews
not having the right of sojourn in Rus
without permit, from admission to the
middle or higher schools. The Novoe
Vremya today, in announcing that this
order will take effect at the beginning
of the next scholastic year, praises the
regulation as assisting to reduce the
Jews tn their natural social level
The influx of Jewish emigrants into
Germany is rapidly abating. This is
partly owing to stricter supervision.
NEW CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
DIR. Max Schuller OF the Berlin uni
versity has new cure for tuberculosis.
He says he has Experimental with it
for the last twelve years, and is per-
lev of l,n &c
Schuller is surgeon, and consequently
his experiments have mostly been made
in cases of so-called surgical tubercu.
losis, such as affections of the Joints,
bones, glands, lupus, etc. He says,
however. that he has treated success
f,,lll;;-. .,a;S.uo eases VI tuberculosis of the
lungs. His remedy is guaicol,
an extract from boxwood, and
and also an active principle of creosote.
He has made numerous experiments
upon animals, and in 1850 commenced
to treat human patients with guaicol,
which he at first applied in the
form of an injection. Later on, as the
results of his experiments, he began to
use the medicine internally In very
small doses, and in rare cases by inhala-
ton. He uses guaicol mostly in connec-
tion with iodoform, injecting it into the
affected parts. He cites 100 cases treated
by him, Of which seventy were abso-
lutely cured, sixteen improved, four
died and ten passed beyond his ohserva-
tions. The treatment extended in
each case over long period OF time and
allowed accurate observation OF each
patient from the beginning to the end.
Prof. Schuller is confident OF the ac-
curacy Of his method. In the mean
time Prof. Koch is steadily working on
the improvement of his lymph ,Saided by
the government, which feels bound to
see him arrive at successful isaue.
