Surc Cure for Diphthcria,

OF particular interest ut this time Is
report made to Surgeon General Wyman
by DIR. j. j. Kinyoun, the marine hos
pital surgeon who investigated the meth
DDS employed at the Pasteur Institution,
Paris, in the preparation of the new cure
for diphtheria. OF the whole number Of
cases which came under Dr. Kinyoun's
observation (cighty-two) three died
about per cent. The statistics show
that there has been gradual diminution
of mortality since last May. The report,
continuing, says:
'The efficacy of the serum Is better
shown in the tracheotomies than In all
others. The mortality under the usual
conditions has been, from 1850 to 1894.
something frightful to contemplate; fully
81 per cent. of the little patients have sue
curnbed. Since the commencement of
the serum treatment the death rate has
been lowered to less than AZ per cent,
and the cases upon which tracheotomy
must be performed are fewer and fewer.
Facts worthy Of note are that diphtheric
paralysis 10 rare, pneumOnias are less FREE
auent, and although albuminuria exists In
nearly every case OF several days dura-
ton fatal cases of nephritis are gradual.

Mr.. Thompson asked for the reading
OF the 14th section, and then called at
tention to the provision requiring all
water closets to connect with the pro-
posed sewer. This would require all
houses, great and small, to take water
from the Water Company, and would
be an expense that many could not af-
ford.
Mr.. Kraft said if the sewer system
should be adopted it would, of course,
require the use of the Mt. Cameron va
ter, and that should be understood by
those who voted for it.
Mr.. Fannon-"I move to abolish the
whole thing, and the bond business
Also"

pointed Messrs. Beach and Thompson
a committee Of conference.

again called in session, and the confer
ence committee reported that the Aid.
ermen had concurred in striking out
all that part of tho fourteenth
section which made compulsory the
use of the sewers BY out houses.
The amendment was agreed to and
the board voted Z 10 5 in favor of con
curing with the Aldermen in adopting
the charter act.
The chair held that nine votes would
be required to adopt the measure.
Mr.. Fisher appealed from the decision
of the chair.
Mr.. Fisher, Mr.. McCuen and Mr..
Uhler disagreed with the chair.
The chair read decisions Of the
Speaker of the House OF Representa-
tives and the rules to sustain his posi-.
ton.

iirmative 5, negative g..

EX-PREsIDENT HARRISON made a
speech to a republican league club al
indianapolis last night, in which he
said the present business depression is
due to the eminent threat of a low
tariff. No one acquainted with Mr..
Harrison ever supposed him to be a
heightened man, but hardly anybody
believed he was little and mean
enough to adopt the second-handed ar
guments by which the ward politicians
of his party attempt to deceive ignorant
voters. Why, there has been an "emi-
nent threat Of q low tariff at every
election since the war, but never before
was one of them followed by such bus
mess depression as now exists. And
then, too, instead of a low tariff, as was
promised, the proposed n imposes Il
protective duty of forty per cent. on
New England manufactures.

THE NEW YORK Press, now the

abuses the administration for appoint
ing Gen. Joe Shelby [. S. marshal for
Missouri, and Col. Terrell Us. Minister
to Turkey, and says the former is a
butcher and the latter wrote q poem
about John Wilkes BOothe. General
Shelby, being a soldier in war, neces-
sarily had to kill people, and Colonel
Terrell, being a poet and acquainted
with the lovable private character OF
Boothe, as naturally selected his tragic
fate as a theme for a poem. And then,
too. as Nj. Cleveland could not have
been elected except for the vote of the
South. ne could not we'll avoid appoint
ing some southern men to office, and
the two referred to are reputable and
intelligent gentlemen, highly respected
bv all who know them. But if they
were angels, the fact that they had
been Confederates, and are not rene
gades, would damn them forever in the
ewes of the Press and in those ofmost OF
Us readers.

in Congress about Hawaii is not easily
compreheuded. The Legitimate gov
ernment of that country was deposed

chat the wrong shall stand. Whether

referred to, has nothing to do now.
