CAMPHoR FAMINE.


Cause Of scarcity of Valuable Drug and
Cholera Medicine.
"The news that the price OF cam
phor was advancing at the rate Of a
penny or two a pound every day,
as the result of the recent war be-
tween China and Japan, and that
England and the continent were
threatened with something like a
camphor famine, has caused con-
siderable alarm" says the st. James
Gazette. THAT this should be 50 is
most surprising, seeing that cam
phor is an article oil daily consump-
ton, used as a medicine in diseases
from the most fatal form of Asiatic
cholera to a mere cold in the head.
Its value as a disinfectant is thor
oughly established. Beyond this
its use has helped to check the
spread of Asiatic cholera. 1t has
been tried in Naples by the famous
DIR. Rubini, whose testimony to the
merits of camphor as cure of chol.
era has never been disputed. In
the great cholera epidemic of 1854
he administered camphor, taken
internally, to 400 cholera patients,
every one OF whom recovered.
Proctor, during the cholera epidemic
in Liverpool in 1886, treated I21
cholera patients with camphor, and
there were but three cases of re
lapse. The drug has indeed even
more benefcent properties than the
general public is aware Of. A large
dealer in the drug says that the
present unprecedented demand for
it is due to the fact that more cam
phor has been sold for future deliv-
cry than is at the moment obtain
able, and that the stock on hand
does not exceed 1000 or 5000 hun
dred- weight"

Claims Of American Sugar Producers
Shelyed

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Sept. IL
The long expected and much an.
ticipated decision Of X. b. Bowler,
Comptroller of the Treasury, in the
sugar bounty cases, was made pub
lie this afternoon. The Comptroller
refers the whole matter to the
Court Of Claims for adjudication.
The particular case decided was
the claim OF the Oxnard Beet Sugar
Company of Nebraska for the pay
ment of a portion Of the sugar
bounty appropriated in the sundry
civil bill passed by the last Con-
gress. The amount involved in
this case was only $II,7S2. SO,
being the first claim allowed by the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
under the appropriation of $23S,
900 to pay the producers of beet,
sorghum or cane sugar previous to
the 2Sth of August, 1894, when the
sugar bounty provisions of the Nc
Kinley law were repealed. But the
decision, of course, involves the
constitutionality Of all sugar boun-
ties.
The Comptroller first asserts his
jurisdiction over the matter and his
right to refuse payment of these
bounties on the ground of the un-
constitutionality of the appropria-
ton. He quotes the decision of
the Court Of Appeals Of the Dis
trict of Columbia in case brought
before them by the Miles Plant
Manufacturing Company Of Louis
lana for a mandamus to compel the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to pay the sugar bounty provided
by the Mckinley law, and holds in
substance that as the court decided
all such bounties to be unconstitu-
tional its decision was one of which
he was bound to take cognizance.
