BRECKINRIDGE'S NEXT FIGHT.
Seeking to Nominate the Legislators
From His District.

From His District.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LEXINGTON, KY, December 7.-Col
Breckenridge has kindled fire here which
generation may not extinguish. He has
been defeated, but he has not been con-
quered.
The nomination Of Owens and his cleo
ton have put a great gulf between the
two democratic factions. The first object
of attack is Senator Blackburn.
"Breckinridge,' said an astute politician
to The Evening Star correspondent, will
be the next Senator from Kentucky or
he will name him."
Unless Breckinridge men are named as
democratic candidates for the legislature
in Fayette Woodford, Franklin, Bourbon,
ard indeed in all the counties CT the dis
trict except possibly. Owen and Henry, the
republicans will elect the delegation. If
able in the democratic caucus to control
the nomination for Senator. On the other
hand. II republicans are chosen from
Blackburn's own district he cannot hope
to secure the nomination for Senator. That
at least is the waytt appears to the Breck-
inridge men here, and they will take the
utmost delight in defeating the aspirations
Of Mr. Blackburn. 1t Is not by any means
certain that Col. Breckinridge may not
himself formally enter the race for Sem
ator. His friends here expect brilliant
tninSs Oh MIN during tne snort session, ana
If the expectations are fulfilled he may
himself make an effort TO reach the upper
house. That is for the future to deter
mine. With this spirit prevailing on one
side 1t is natural enough that the opposi-
ton should share in It.
Owens men made q number of advances
toward the Breckinrfdee men In the in
terest Of party harmony. but they were SO
openly repulsed that they. too. have on
their war paint. and are threatening the
defeat Of any democrat who is a member
Of the Breckenridge faction.

GERMANY'S REASONS.
What IL Behind Her Program Of Dis
elimination.


The recent DEGREES and contemplated rails
ing of duties on American food and other
agricultural products by the German gov
ernment appear to be based on a broader
foundation than the mere desire to compel
the United States to come to terms and re-
NIT the discriminating duties against Ger
man bounty paid sugar. In fact, from the
reports received at the State Department,
1t would seem that sugar has very little to
do with the imposition Of these restrictive
measures. and that the real explanation is
to be found In internal pelitics For In
stance, United States Consul General De-
Kay, in a report from Berlin upon the pro-
posed enormous increase Of the duty on
cotton seed oil, an increase that makes the
duty prohibitive, says: This appears to be
only one OF number of efforts made by
the 'land-owning party (agrarier) and the
protectionist manufacturers to strike at any
article Of Importation that can be used as
food. Cotton seed Oil, in it's refined stage
as table oil, as well as an ingredient of
manufactured butter, Is to be dealt a blow"
The consul general is borne out in his
conclusion as to the animating force by re-
ports from other American consular officers
in Germany, which indicate that the gov
ernment has, at least in the matter of ag-
ricultural products, SO far yielded to the
farmers and certain classes of manufac-
turers as to adopt genuine Chinese wall
protective system, and just as soon as an
American product begins to be exported to
competition to native products an exclusive
decree is issued against 1t, based on almost
any pretext. or prohibitive duty is i'm
posed.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Several Men Convicted in the District

The President has granted the applica-
Frazier, John Grain and Henry Kelly, con-
victed in the District Of Columbia Of OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses, and
sentenced January q, 1894, to three years
Imprisonment in ths Albany penitentiary.
The President indorsed the application as
follows:
Sentence in each case commuted to i'm
prisonment for one year and three months.
with all allowances for good conduct. 1t
appears that these young men maintained
good character prior to the offense of
which they were convicted. Their offense
was not a very grave one, the property OBJ
taincd ty their false pretenses being valued
at less than SO, and at least two Of them
contributed to the support of widowed
mothers. The district attorney who pros
ecuted these criminals recommends COM
mutation Of their sentence"
The sentence of eleven months and twen-
convicted June % in the District of Colum-
bia of assault. with intent to kill. has been
commuted to six months actual imprison-
ment. This Communication is granted solely
upon the representations Of the physician
to the Jail that the convicts health Is in
failing condition, and that there Is no
hope of improvement during confinement.
The President has also pardoned Solomon
Haag, convicted in Maine of violation of
the revenue laws, whose sentence was sus-
pended in order to allow an application for
pardon.
A pardon has been granted to Isaac
Langston, sentenced in Georgia to three
months Imprisonment and 500 fine for
Illicit distilling.

1T Is impossible for ime to state now
what agreement will he reached, but l
find that among the members a very COM
promising spirit prevails. They seem to
be willing to lay, aside their individual
preferences and favor that measure which

do you think that a bill conforming to

II could not say as to that now. But
with the recommendation of the committee

ever, is only my opinion. The President

in their views that they cannot cooperate
In anything In this line that Congress may

Mr.. Cox of Tennessee, a member of the
banking and currency committee, and a
great advocate of the repeal of the state
bank tax, said that he believed that the
committee would report a measure, based
upon the report of Secretary Carlisle, which
would be adopted by the House. He was
not prepared 20 say IL 1T would conform
in every particular to the Secretary's rec
concentrations, nor that 1t would not He
did feel certain. however, that some such
measure as the Secretary recommends, il

DIPHTHERIA PREVENTION
Report of Dr. Kinyoun on the Results of
His Investigations
The Manner OF Producing Immunity
and the Efficacy of the Serum
Set Forth.

OF particular interest at this time is a
report made to Surgeon General Wyman
| by DR.. j. j. Kinyoun, the marine hospital
surgeon who, at the invitation Of Prof.
Roux. investigating the methods employed
at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, in the
preparation Of the new cure for diphtheria.
DR.. Kinyoun says that after spending "a
month at the institution he had seen suffi-
cient to enable him to form an intelligent
estimate Of the value of the discovery.
There is, he says, still more to be said in
its favor than was claimed for it by Prof.
Roux in his paper on the subject before
the international congress Of hygiene and
demography, held at Budapest in Septem-
ber. The report gives in detail the steps
necessary In the preparation of the serum
anti-toxine, which include, first, the prep
aration OF the toxines of dptheria sec
ond, the immunization of animals; third,
preservation of and conservation of the
serum.
How to Produce Immunity.
The manner of producing immunity in
an animal may, the report says. be per-
formed In one or two waysLby injestions
OF the toxines or by inoculauons Of the
bacilli The former method has been
found to be the best: and at present is the
only one in use. In the experiments Of
Prof. Roux and DR.. Martin animals of all
kinds were used but now they use the
horse, as 1t has been found to be the most
satisfactory. 1t stands the process of i'm
mmnization better, and gives a serum
stronger than any other larger animal
that Is. in the same length of time-besides
furnishing larger amount of serum. q
or the whole number OF cases which came
rnder Dr. kinyoun's observation eighty
-two) three died, about per cent. The
statistics show that there has been a
gradual diminution OF mortality since last
May.
The EHcncy Of the Serum.
The report, continuing. says: "The eff
cacy OF the serum is better shown in the
tracheotomies than in all the others. The
mortality under the usual conditions has
been. from 1889 to 1884. something fright
full to contemplate; fully IS per cent Of the
little patie nts have succumbed. Since the
commencement of the serum treatment the
death rate has been lowered to less than
Al per cent, and the cases upon which
tracheotomy must be performed are fewer
and fewer. Another fact worthy of note
is that there are seldom any of the COM
plications in diphtheria that were formerly
present. Diphtheretic paralysis is rare,
pneumonias are less frequent, and. al
though albuminuria exists in nearly every
case or several days duration, fatal cases
of nephritis are gradually becoming less
frequent. 1t Is now possible to immunize
the reagents to the disease. Unfortunately,
the immunity is not of long duration. The
longest time in which 1t is thought to be
protective Is six weeks, one injection from
future possibilities in this direction cannot
be overestimated, as we have in the serum
the almost absolute preventive of epidem-
ics OF diphtheria."

MEXICAN TROOPS ATTACKED.
Reports of Onslaughts by Guatemalan
Guerrillas.

Guerrfllas.
CITY OF MEXICO. December THE
latest reports from Guatemala are of a
more serious character than any which
have as yet reached the capital. 1t is
claimed an assassination has been made
by the Guatemalans of a Mexican colonel,
a member of the staff Of Gen. Lullane. and
from unofficial sources it Is reported that
a company of the nineteenth battalion of
the Mexican forces have had two skir-
mishes with a force of 400 Guatemalan
guerrillas. The first assault on the Mex
lean troops was harmless skirmish, but
the second resulted in two Mexican soldiers
being killed. The Guatemalans retreated
hastily, and it is not known that they suf-
fered any material damage. The partic-
ular body of mounted Guatemaans is re-
ported as still lowering about the vicinity
of the Mexican troops but it is believed
that after making the attack they retired
to the Guatemalan side of the fnterna-
tional line.
Should official information confirm these
reports 1T is highly probable that the Mex
lean government will at once demand rep
aration in a satisfactory manner for the
outrage.

ENLIsTMENTS IN TILE NAVY.
Abandonment of This City as q Re-
cruiting station.

One effect of the transfer Of the old
sloop-of-war Dale from the Washington
navy yard to Baltimore for the use of
the Maryland naval militia is the abandon
ment OF this city as a naval recruiting
station. The vessel will be put out of
commission next week, and no further
enlistments will be made at the Washing
ton navy yard. Enlistments for the navy
will hereafter be confined to the ports of
Norfolk, Philadelphia, Boston and New
York, each of which Is provided with a
receiving ship for that especial purpose.
Washington has always been a favorite
place for enlistment, many men coming
here when it would have been more con-
venient and less expensive to have ap-
piled at one of the other places named.
The Navy Department desires to have 1t
known that no more enlistments will be
made at Washington, in order that appli-
cants may bs spared the useless trouble
