DIR. HOLINESS DISCOVERY.
.Dia-nosis of Tuberculosis by the
Eforph oIogy OF the Blood Causes
Much Attention.

City Of Mexico, Nov. 19.-The interest
of the Pan-American Medical congress
was absorbed yesterday in paper by
DR.. A. NJ Holmes Of Denver, on
e'The Diagnosis of tuberculosis by the
Morphology of the Blood a presenta-
ton of the manner in which he made
the discovery of detecting the tuber-
cular germ in the human blood before
the system has been attacked, and at
a time when it may be eradicated by
the treatment of any physician. DR..
Holmes discovery has been discussed
very widely in medical circles, and it
was by special invitation that he was
invited to be present and personally
present the subject to(the congress. He
has noticed, under a microscopical eX-
animation, a difference in the shape
and formation of the corpuscles. es-
pecially OF consumptives, and extended
his researches with the result that over
100 total strangers were brought to
him for examination, and in each case
ne had either detected the presence Of
the disease or announced the extent
to which it had made inroads on the
patient. This discovery, while not
cure, is considered more far-reaching
than that of Professor Koch, in that
the disease is discovered at a time
when il is a simple matter for any
physician to cope with it.

Great Statesman.

s. Clarkson of Iowa was at the Fifth
Avenue hotel today. He is president
of the n. Y & n. j. Bridge company,

Presses that he was out of politics and
did not care to give an interview.
''McKinleys election" he said, how
ever, has given a great impetus to
business already" He knew of one
enterprise that had raised s1,3OO,O0O
since the election. AS to the coming
cabinet, he did not care to say any
thing.

crept and walked boldly toward the
house. The officers time had come and
Detective Sheets stepped suddenly in
front of him and leveling his gun
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Chief Pratt and Detective Janney were
at Sheets side and the fellow only
hesitated a second before complying.
In that second he showed his nervy
and desperate nature for his hands
went up slowly as though almost I'M
decided whether to make a fight or
not. Had he been given the slightest
show for resistance there would I'M
doubtedly have been a different story
to tell for he carried a magnificent gun,
a Colts navy pistol nearly foot long,
stuck inside of the waistband of his
pantaloons ready for use. The gun
was taken from him and he was taken
TO the station.
The detectives went out and brought
in the goods stolen from the Brown and
Strickley residences and Ketchum was
put in the sweat box in the chief S
private office. He was kept there Tor
two hours and when the officers were
through with him they had brought
three cases of burglary home to him,
two of which he admitted and one
which Chief Pratt feels certain he can
prove.
Ketchurn was first confronted by De-
tective Janney who had been guard
at the penitentiary while he was serv-
ing a term there. He denied knowing
Janney but finally admitted it and then
a photograph was produced from the
rogues' gallery showing him at the age
of Is when he was first arrested. he
denied the picture was his but was
forced to admit that also. Then he
was shown the stolen property. He
admitted the theft of the watch and
ring taken from the Strickleys but de-
MED that of the martin cape and the
boa which had been taken from the
Brown household He was informed
that the woman to whom he had sold
it was known and he demanded to see
her.
The woman was sent for and when
she faced the fellow and said he had
offered the cape to her for sale, he
finally admitted that. The Cotton rob-
berry he could not be forced to admit
but there is believed to be ample proof
to attach that to him also.
Ketchum is a smooth faced, SHINY
built young fellow with very little of
the hard character in his features. He
is only 81 years old but has served a
good part of his career in various peni-
tentiaries. He was arrested Aug. 8,
1892. at Ogden for housebreaking and
was convicted and sentenced to year
in the penitentiary. When he had but
a month to serve he made his escape.
The next heard from him he was ar
rested in company with noted crook
in Montana, called Los Angeles" and
served a term at Deer Lodge for
burglary When his time was out there
Detective Janney went to Montana and
brought him back and he served out
his sentence here. He is known as one
of the most desperate criminals in the
west as we'll as one of the cleyerest in
the porch climbing and burglars branch
of the profession.
Chief Pratt and the detectives were
jubilant last night over the capture
and the way it was effected without
difficulty for they started out fully ex-
pecting to have to kill the man in TAX
ing him.

by Mr.. Thatcher's friends, who claim
to understand the situation, is that
he has erred against church discipline
in this, that he has maintained that
man can be a citizen of the United
States and discharge any function
thereof, and a member of the Mormon
church, the same as a man may be-
long to any other church and be a citi-
zen. For this, so say the friends of the
deposed apostle, he has suffered indig-
mites and has been pursued as never
man was pursued before.
Mr.. Thatcher has always stood high
in the estimation of the church author
tiles. He has been especially beloved
by President Woodruff. and in the
heart of Lorenzo Snow, president of the
twelve, he was held in high esteem.
If the time ever comes when the state
ment of the ex-apostle is given to the
public there is liable to be some very
interesting statements published.
There are now two vacancies in the
quorum of the twelve. One was caused,
as stated, by the death of Abram II.
Cannon; the other by the action taken
yesterday. Who will be chosen to fill
them is a matter of conjecture. Spec
ulation is rife as to that matter. al
though it is given out on good author
ity that Counsellor Charles w. Pen
rose is likely to be selected as one,
while 3. H. Roberts win be the other.
In this connection there is a significant
fact in a telegram which was yesterday
sent to the latter at Brooklyn, calling
him home Mr.. Roberts is now presi-
dent of the first quorum of seventies,
while Elder Penrose is counsellor to
the president of the Salt Lake stake Of
Zion, Angus NJ. Cannon.
