OPPOSED TO vIvISECTION.

American Humane Association in
Favor of Restricting 1t.
Minneapolis, MINI Sept. 26.-At to-
days meeting of the American Humane
Association DR.. Albert Leffingwell, of
Cambridge, Mass, presented the report of a
medical committee which for several months
has been engaged in sounding public senti-
ment regarding viyisection.
over two thousand expressions of opinion
were obta ined from leading physicians,
teachers in medical colleges, authors, cler-
gymen, college presidents, and professors.
OF these only about one-eighth were in
favor OF unrestricted experimentation upon
living animals, the large majority being
either for absolute prohibition, or for such
restriction by law as should limit vivi-
section to painless operations, or to those
having a definite relation to the treat
ment of human ailments.
\ preponderance of sentiment appeared
to statement of opinion which declared
that only great and definite advantage
to the interests of humanity can justify
viviscction at ALL" and which condemned
as cruel and wrong the infliction of tor
ment upon living animals, simply to illus.
trate well-known physiological facts, or
as method of research into curious
physiological phenomena, which have no
conceivable relation to the cure or treat
ment OF disease.

on account Of customs have shown graft
flying increase of late, as have those from
internal revenue sources, although in a less
degree.

bill has been in operation. the receipts of

Rise in Prices.

The rise Of prices which has
been going on for some time is in
part a natural reaction from the
depression Of trade SO acutely felt
during the last two years. The
advance in oil from go cents to
s2.70 a barrel and other less no
table advances have been ascribed
partly to artificial influences and
partly to shortage in the supply
available for the market. The
rise in prices Of several manufac-
tured commodities is also stimu-
lated by the increased price Of raw
materials, especially wheat and
cotton.
But it j. doubtful if these ad-
yances can be long maintained.
The country has not recovered
from the effects Of the recent
"hard time, and is financially in
no condition TO pay high prices.
There will be no general addition
TO the national wealth which
would justify a general rise in
prices untilst crops are harvest.

in the home market and also cur

therefore, to discover any substan
