A ERROR.
Report That Gresham Has Caused
Strained Relations With Janan.

Report That Gresham Has Caused
Strained Relations With Japan.
New York special: A Washington
dispatch to a morning paper of pro-
nounced Observation-Disclosures procliv.
tiles says: The fact has just come to
light that..the administration by Mr..
Gresham has committed another de
plomatic blunder which is considered
ever more serious than the attempt to
restore Queen Liliuokalani and which
may have more important results.
Members of the Diplomatic Corps,
among whom the facts have created
something of q sensation, tell this
story about it: The Chinese Minister,
who has been in frequent consultation
of late with the Secretary of State re-
garding the strained relations existing
between Japan and Corea, has finally
induced the Secretary to send an Off
cial cable dispatch to the japanese
Government expressing the dissatis-
faction OF the United States with the
policy which Japan has been following
toward Corea and closing with these
important words: "The United States
views with regret the levying of an
unjust wal by Japan upon a weak and
defenseless nation like Corea."
This is considered a greater diplo-
matte blunder than the S%ecretary's ac-
ton in the Hawaiian controversy, but
there has not been time to realize the
full extent of the message. The
Japanese Government has made no re-
ply and has probably not yet recovered
from its astonishment. At the Japan
csc legation here the officials profess
to know nothing whatever about the
bellignant message and express a grave
doubt as to the accuracy of the story.
There is no doubt about the existence
of the dispatch. Secretary Gresham
has shown u copy of it to Sir Julian
Pauncefote. The Chinese and Corean
Legations have copies of it and the fact
of its existence is known to several
members of the House and Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations.

Chicago special: The United States
District Attorney filed an information
against Debs, Howard, Rogers and
keliher of the A. II. u, charging
them with contempt OF court in vio-

was fixed ut $1,000 each, but the men
refused to give it and the court COM

LEPhOSY IN INDIA.
Some Of the Sources to Which Its Preva-
lence Cannot be Ascribed.

/ Some of the Sources to Which Its Preva-
lence Cannot be Ascribed-
1t has often been popularity said that
fish eating is main cause of leprosy,
and some scientific men hold the opin-
ion that fish introduce the bacillus into
the stomach or stimulate it to activity
when it already resides in the tissues.
Against this theory. popular and scien-
titic, there are the facts that no bacilli
have been discovered in fish; that
castles which never touch fish furnish
their due contingents of lepers, and
that the disease is not more rife in dis
tricts bOrdered by the sea and large
rivers than anywhere else. On the
other hand. leprosy is common in hill
tracts, where fish is very rare article
of food.
Mr.. c. Conybeare who some time ago
was apprehensive that leprosy was due
to the high price of salt, will be much
relieved to hear that, b. statistics to
which no exception can be taken on
the ground of inaccuracy, the con-
sumption of salt is shown to be twice
as great as the increase of the popula-
ton in twenty years: that Ryot spends
on salt about one penny month for
each OF his family; and that if there
has been any perceptible addition
to the number of lepers it has oc-
CARED in provinces where the price OF
salt has fallen Other alleged causes
are mentioned to be summarily and
CONTEMPORARY dismissed.
Water, opium and mosquitoes have
each in turn been made responsible.
Now, the bacillus has never been found
IN water, though the commissioners in
vain analysed the water of filthy
tank in which crowds of lepers bathed.
Premature marriages and the con-
sumption Of opium are not to blame.
and if mosquitoes or flies could COM
municate the disease after they had
sucked the blood Of any lepers, Cal
cutta, where these little pests abound
and murder sleep, should be perfect
leper asylum.
On the question of infection and con-
tagion the report on "Leprosy in India
affirms that though leprosy may be
considered an infective disease, caused
by specific bacillus, and also to some
extent contagious disease" it is not
actively or usually diffused in this
way. Again. one might imagine that
leprosy must be hereditary. This as
sertion. if not absolutely disproved, is
by no means certain.
Many lepers are sterile There is no
evidence thst the marriage of lepers
with lepers or with non-leprous women
always diffuses the disease. The chill
aren of lepers arc often short-lived.
