in the reported operation performed on
President Cleveland on board the yacht

DR.. Hasbrouck refrained from maxi
ing any statement in regard to the
operation because. as he says, he was
not the attending physician, and he
thinks such statement, If any Is to be
made, should come from DR.. Bryant
To q Tribune reporter, who found
him at his home, lat West One Hum

spoke Of Mr.. Ceveland's recent opera
tion guardedIy.
II really ought not to say anything

statement of what was done was made
, out at the time OF the operation, and II
the attending physicians had wanted
the matter made public they would
have given ont the official statement.
An Every Day AFFAIR.
.The operation performed on Mr..
Cleveland was similar to cases we meet
with every day In the corrse Of our reg
ular dental practice. It was neither
morelor less than that, and on any less
person than the president il would not
have been noticed. It consisted OF the
extraction OF two OF thelupper teeth,
and tho removal Of slight portion Of
diseased tissue and bone back Of the
nose. The disease causing the opera
tion was not at all In the nature Of
that for which the operation was made
on General Grant, nor were there any
signs indicating sarcoma The presi-
dent has been suffering from liberated
teeth and, as Is often the case, the ul-
ceration had extended mp and back to
the antrum. Because Of that it became
necessary to remove some or the bone
and diseased tissue. The operation was
performed on e. G. Benedict's yacht
Oneida, day after leaving New York.
DR.. J. ID. Bryant, whom President
Cleveland appointed surgeon general OF
the state when he was governor, and
DR.. w. w. Keen of Philadelphia. had
charge Of the operation. admins
tered the anaesthetic, extracted the
teeth and assisted DR.. Bryant and DR..
Keen. / cannot mention any other
names of those who were present. DR..
Bryant is the one to give any statement
for publication.
$50 far as can see there is no reason
for alarm. The president has simply
had what anyone is liable to have and
what is not considered ut all dangerous
AS said, saw nothing that would in
dicate disease of cancerous nature
and don't believe there will have tx
be another operation performed"

The load which is produced by a dense
crowd of persons is & .erally taken at SO
to 100 pounds per square foot and is con-
sidered to be the greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which a floor need be
proportional. That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd was
pointed out by Professor w. c. Kernot
OF the Melbourne university. Australia,
in a paper before the Victorian Institute
of Engineers. In an actual trial a class

Professor Kernot also quoted from

an empty ship deckhouse measuring 81
square feet floor area. This was a load
OF l47.4 pounds per square foot. In an
other test. with % laborers crowded into

produced a load Of 143 pounds per
