European Hospitals Practicing
Method of Blood InnoculatiOn.


So many thousands of children are an
nually carried on by diphtheria. the suffer-
ings caused by the disease are SO agoniz-
ing and the remedies hitherto at the dis
posal OF the medical profession SO made
quate that the news of the introduction in
to the Berlin and London hospitals of a
new and efficacious cure for this fell malady
cannot be regarded otherwise than as a
matter of public interest. Very little has;
been heard about this remedy until now,
says a writer in the New York Tribune.
owing to the fact that the DISTINGUISHED
psychologists engaged In its discovery have
been unwilling to subject themselves to the
same disadvantage as DR.. Koch, whose cure
for consumption has been unjustly pro-
Claimed failure, merely because it was
Published to the world prenaturely and be-
fore 1t was ready for medical application.
The new cure, briefly speaking, is one of
innoculation. with this difference, that, in
stead of injecting the poison into the sys-
TEN of the patient one injects the blood
of an animal which has been innoculat ted
with weak culture of the diphtheria ba e.
teria-the virus of the latter being, how
ever, of so weak a character that IL does
not affect the animal with the malady,
but merely renders 1t immune thereto. Re-
peated experiments made of late have
shown that few drops of blood from a
borse or any other animal thus rendered
immune injected into hi man being suf-
fering from diphtheria are sufficient to ar
rest ana cure the disease. OF course 1t is,
too soon as yet to quote the statistics of the
few hundreds of cures which have been
effected in Berlin and London by this trer +
Inent, which is to be fully discussed in all
It's complicated scientific aspects at the
forthcoming International congress of hy-
giene In September at Buda-Pesth. But.
Whatever the ultimate result of its appi-
cation, It has at least one ADVANTAGE over
al other forms of innoCulation hitherto dis
covered. namely, that the matter injected
INTO the system of the patient Is free from
poison and consequently harmless

mind against the strike and those officially
connected therewith. The most Migrant
falsehoods have9 pasged current for the
truth.
"As, for instance. a few days ago a story

not expected to I've. and that Mr.. Higin-

"In such an emergency a man who would

BexgnPs Under Guise Of Industrinls
Arrested-COxey's Return.
Six members of the crowd that is camped
across the river near Rosslyn, under the
title Of the Industrial army, were arrested
by Washington policemen yesterday for
begging in the streets, and it is the inten-
ton Of the authorities to do the same
thing with any other Frye foragers who
may see fit to break the District laws
against vagrancy. There was much in.lig-
nation in camp when the news of the ar
rests was learned. and the various gen
erals" spouted about down-trodden rights
and sputtered over what they professed to
deem an outrage on liberty at a most We
hement rate. 1t appears that the police
were awakened to their duties in regard TO
the little groups of beggars from Rosslyn
that have been overrunning the western
part OF the city by complaints that the men
ceased using Importantly to arouse charity
and were indulging in threats of force.
especially among the ignorant classes of
householder.
Tho other event Of interest at Rosslyn
yesterday was the visit Of State Senator
Mushback of Alexandria, who is also
militia captain. When Capt. Mushback Wis
tied the camp ten days ago his, presence
was so unpleasant to the men that Gen"
Jumbo Cantwell announced that he would
be ducked in the Potomac II he ever re-
peated the call. Yesterday. however. Capt
Mushback came loaded with love- and
brought a olive branches Of peace gen.
erous quantities Of chewing and smoking
tobacco. which he distributed with impair
tfal philanthropy among the industrials
addicted TO the weed. He also made his
call even more memof able to his hosts by
leaving some money for the benent Of the
commissary.
At the commonweAl camp In Maryland
near Highlands, an event of immense i'm
portance lifted the men for a period out of
their listlessness Gen" Jacob s. Coxey
returned to camp, after a rather protracted
absence, which had caused his followers to
think he had deserted them, and RECALLED
his legions with stories of his two weeks
trip in the west From what he said II
would seem that every Industrial in the
United States was making his way toward
Washington. Gen" Coxeys stay in this
vicinity Will be brief however. as he leaves
on another junket tonight In behalf Of his
hobby.

No Present Need for Federal Troops
I'm Chicago.
Speaking Of the situation at Chicago and
the recent withdrawal of troops, Secretary
Lamont said last night: The federal
troops having accomplished the purpose for
which they were ordered to Chicago have
been withdrawn from the city proper With
the exception of the infantry sent from
Sacketts Harbor. all of the troops recently
concentrated at Chicago. including the
artillery and cavalry from Fort Riley and
Niobrara, have been ordered to take their
station at Fort Sheridan for the summer.
This Will put very much larger garrt-
son at that point ready for service than
when troops were called into action. The
troops were withdrawn with the assurance
OF the local authorities, responsible for the
peace OF the city. that the situation was
completely under control and that the
laws could be enforced and order preserved
without further assistance from federal
troops While there Is no reason to be-
heve that their services will again be re-
quired, should such a contingency arise
federal troops are but two hours distant
from any part of the city and can be easily
and quickly called to the scene Of disturb
ance."
