people who were permitted to see him dur

indication of 1t. They say he was as calm
and unruffied in mind and manner TODAY

Treasury Department as though nothing
unusual had occurred. He was given an
opportunity to reply to Mr.. Burnham's
severe structures, but responded to the
newspaper man making the offer that he
had nothing whatever to say on the SUBJ

rate 1t would require $S0000,000 and l20

NEW CURE FOR CHOLERA.
A st. Louis Physician Recommends a
Surgical Operation.

ST. LOUIS, No., March !3.-Dr. Heine
Marks, superintendent of the city hospital.
has come to the conclusion that cholera can
be cured by surgery.
The method which he describes Is when
the stage known as collapse" Is reached
to open the abdomen iust above the lilo
caecal valve an opening is made in the
intestines. and a silver tube inserted. An
artificial valve is then made and the in
testines flooded with an srntiseptic solution.
A Case, of cholera can be cured in a few
hours in this manner by the destruction of
the baci,H.
AS bacteriologists agree that the typhoid
fever bacilH are located in the same por-
tions of the intestines as those of cholera,
the operation would have the same effect
in a case of typhoid fever. though the ne
cessity for the operation would be less
pressing.
DR.. Marks experiments upon animals
have convinced him Of the correctness Of
his views.
