NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION HERE

There was nothing new yesterday in the strike
situation SO far as New-York was concerned.
Trains on all the roads using Pullman cars came
and departed time and there was no sign OF a

the supply of certain kinds OF meat which the
New-York markets get from Chicago. Yesterday

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL
A NEW CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.


LONDON AND BERLIN HOSPITALS PRACTISING
A METHOD OF BLOOD INOCULATIoN.
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: SO many thousands of children annually
carried off by diphtheria, the suherings caused by
the disease are so agonizng and the remedies
hitherto at the disposal of the medical profession
inadequate. that the news of the introduction
into the Berlin and London hospitals OF a new and
eficaciOus for this fell malady cannot be re-
garded otherwise than az a matter Of public
interest Very little has been heard about this
remedy until now. owing to the fact that the dis
tnguished psychologists ragged in its discovery
have been unwilling 20 subject themselves TO the
same disadvantage as DR.. Koch whose cure for
consumption has been unjustly proclaimed a fall
ure. merely because IL was published 10 the world
prematirely and before it was ready for medical
application.
The cure. briefly speaking Is one Of inocu-
lation, with this difference that instead Of inject
ing the poison into the system Of the patient one
injects the blood Of animal which has been in
oculated with weak culture of the dphtheria
bacteria-the virus Of the latter being however OF
weak character that it does not affect the
animal with the malady but merely renders It
immune thereto. Repeated experiments made OF
late have shown that A few drops Of hood from a
horse any other an.ma thus rendered immune
injected into human being suffering from dph-
iberia sufficient to arrest and the dis
ease. OF course it is too as yet 10 quote the
statistics Of the few hundreds Of cures which have
been effected in Berlin and London by this treat
ment, which Is to be fully discussed in all its COM
plicated scientific aspects at the forthcoming in
ternauonal congress Of hygiene in September at
Budapest. But whatever the ultimate result OF
rs application IT has at least one advantage over
namely. that the matter injected into the system
OF the patient is free from poison, and Consequent

WHY YALE SHOULD NOT ROW CORNELL

But AT the same time it is impossible for Yale to
