SURGERY FOR CHoLERA.-Chicago
physicians and surgeons do not agree
with Heine Marks, of st. Louis, as to
the treatment of cholera by operat-
ing surgically. DR.. Marks has been
quoted as saying that he would take
cholera victim, when the stage known
as COLLAPSE" is reached, open the
abdomen, insert silver tube, and by
means of an artificial valve introduce
autidotal fluid deadly to the cholera
germs. ''Dr. Marks must be one of the
men who would make of the human
body sort of chemists crucible," said
Dr. John E. Gilman. 81 think such an
operation would be wholly impractical
ble. The operation of opening the
abdomen is difficult and dangerous at
all times. Such operations are never
performed except when it is question
of life or death. If "a patient is doomed
anyhow, and his only chance of recov
cry lies in such an operation, then it is
well to take that one chance. When a
cholera patient has reached the col
lapse stage the power of reaction is so
small that such an operation would be
almost surely fatal.'
81 should not like to trust myself to
that operation" DIR. John f. Richards
said. That is a hazardous operation
at best, and in the weakened state pro-
duced by cholera it would be extra
hazardous. However, | should not
like to say there is nothing in Dr.
Marks's idea"
DR.. Elmer Lee, who has made a spec
ial study of cholera and germ diseases,
agrees with DR.. Gilman. Dr. Marks's
surgery for cholera he declares vision
ary. If cure by such treatment were
possible, DR.. Lee says, it would be i'm
practicable in an epidemic, because
enough surgeons could not be found to
perform the operations.

Chamber Adjourned Early Because
OF the Premier's illness.
No Doubt that the Outrage Was the
Work of Anarchists.

ROME. March 9.-Ore of the men taken
TO the hospital after being found wound
ed on the Piazza dl Mon;e Citorio yester-
day after the explosion of the bomb in
front Of the Chamber OF Deputies died
his morning.
Two other sufferers from the explo-
sion, who are now in the hospital, are
much worse to-day. one OF the pa
tients had his leg amputated this morn
ing.
The police no longer have any doubt
that the bomb, which was hidden in a
high hat. was Intended to be exploded
in the Chamber Of Deputies. and the
conspirators might have succeeded In
attaining their object had 1t not been
that the Chamber adjourned earlier thar
usual, owing to the fact that Premier
Crispi was suffering from a cold. and
was therefore unable to answer the
many questions notice Of which had
been given to the Government.
The authorities express the belief tina
the bomb carrier. seeing that the last
of the Deputies were lea wing the Cham
Der, Judged that It would be useless to
enter that building, and so exploded the
deadly missi e on the Piazza di Monte
Ci:orio.
The police also claim that there Is no
doubt that the explosion was the work
u Anarchists who had been reused to
action by the fact that the Deputies
yesterday devoted considerable time to
discussing the question of prosecuting

PASSION PLAYERS FEARFUL,
To Appear Before the Queens
County Grand Jury To-Morrow.

County Grand Jury TO-Morrow.
WINFIELD, L. l.. March 9.-The case
OF the participants in the Passion Play,
that was produced in st. Mary's Church
sunday night, will be presented by Dis
trict-Attorney Noble to the Queens
County Grand Jury tomorrow.
Last night Mr.. Noble issued four sub
poenas for those who took part in the
performance. They are Anthony Smith,
who impersonated Jesus Christ; Miss
Mary Kelly, who im~personated the vir-
gin Mary; Peter Hammer. who took the
part OF Judas, n Miss Barbara Becker,
who took the part Of an angel watching
the tomb
Miss Becker is the daughter of Post
master Bernard Becker. All four OF the
participants, who have been served with
were doing anything wrong In appearing
In the Passion Play. They say the play
was SANCTIONED by the Sisters Of st.
d~uction: All of those who were Sub
poenaed will appear before the Grand
Jury In Long Island City tomorrow
The general sentiment in Winfield is
opposed to the production OF the play,
and the residenas OF the village are
awaiting with interest the action of the
ITdnu jury.
District-Attorney Noble said this
morning that IL he had known in ad-
vance that. the play was to nave been
produced. he would nave prevented it.
1t Is not expected that the Grand Jury
will find any indictments. The action Of
Mr.. Noble is not intended to bring pun
ishmept upon the performers OF the
Passion Play, but to prevent its repe-
tition. He understood that the play was
to be repeated, and he desired to pre-
vent II.
Anthony Smith is very much wor-
ried. He is afraid the Grand Jury will
punish him, as he was responsible for
the production of the play. He says he
intended no wrong. He saw the play
performed in Oberammergau.
