NOBODY KNOWS
Whether the A. p. A. viii Oppose McKin-
ley's Candidacy

SAN FRANCISCO. April 13.-A great
deal has been said lately by representa-
tives of the A. Z. A. to indicate that the
organization has definitely announced
its opposition to the nomination of ex-
Governor Mckinley by the national
Republican convention. 3. F. Hudel-
son, state president of the organization,
says the statement is absolutely untrue.
The advisory board will meet in Wash
ington May 18th, he says, and until then
the attitude of the A. p. A. relative to
Mckinley or any other candidate will
not be known.
"The American Protective Associa-
tion," said Mr.. Hudelson, has declared
it's purpose to take part in the delibera-
tions Of all the national conventions
and will have large representation in
each body. Our representatives will de-
mand from each convention the inser-
1tion of three planks in the platform.
We will demand strong position on the
immigration question, another insist
ing on general non-sectarian school
system and a third declaration that no
money shall be given nor appropriations
be made for any sect, church or sectar-
ian institution. Besides we shall insist
upon the nomination of a candidate who
is thoroughly American. If the associa-
tion should be ignored it will undoubt-
edly place ticket of it's own in the
field"

WASHINGTON, April 13.-At the in
stance Of Mr.. German the senate deter
mined to open the publication or the
Patent Office Gazette to general COM
petition. Reference was made during
the discussion to the investigation
some months ago into the circum-
stances by which friend of the then
assistant secretary of state, Mr.. Jo-
siah Quincy. was awarded the contract.
Mr.. German carried his amendment 1of
an open competition, although MI.
PIatt. chairman of the committee on
patents. was in opposition. The rest
of the day was given to the Dupont
case, Senators Burrows of Michigan and
Brown Of Utah supporting MIR. Du-
points claim.
A lengthy discussion took place over
awarding the contract for the Patent
Office Gazette. Mr.. German eXPlalnea
that the preparation of the Gazette
oueht to be open to the fullest cont
petjtion, and he moved to recede from
that provision of the bill giving the
contract for another year to the present
contractor.
Mr. Platt, Republican Of Connecticut
referred to the trouble, amounting al
most to scandal. concerning the
Patent Office Gazette. and said that as
this had been overcome. the present
contract should be continued.
The absence of quorum caused
much delay ana numerous lOii SdiiS'
the German amendment finally being
adop+ed-2S to 20. This opens the
award of the Patent Office Gazette to
general competition.
Mr. Cullom presented partial agree
ment from the conference committee

cial appropriations bill
Among the reports were those by
Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Mitchell, present.
ing the majority and minority reports
on the bankruptcy bill.
Mr. Burrows, Republican of Micht-
gan, was recognized in support of the
claim of Mr.. Dupont to q seat In tine
senate. Mr.. Burrows contended that
the action of Governor Watson in vot-
ing in the Delaware legislature was
caused by political moves and was an
unseemly transaction. Mr.. Burrows
was followed by Mr. Brown, Republican
of Utah, also in support of Mr.. Du-
pont. 1t was the first speech of Mr..
Brown, and for this reason was followed
with interest.
Mr. Chandler took the floor to speak
in support of the Dupont claim, and Will
continue tomorrow.

CHICAGOApril 13.--Prof. w. B Pratt
and Hugh Wightman, the electro-ther

They claim that Asiatic cholera is no
longer to be feared; aches and glanders.
diphtheria and typhoid must all yield
to the new remedy, the Roentgen ray.
The various germs were grown in tubes
in proper media. Magnetic means of
force from the Crookes tubes were
passed through them. The application
lasted two hours. Cholera was the easi-
est, and appears to have been wiped out
entirely. Diphtheria has been treated
very tenderly and favorably. but after
eight days has failed to show the slight
est signs of life There has been no ac-
tivity in the bacteria of the other class
es, and with certain notifications the
doctors are now ready to announce that
the ray. properly applied, will destroy
any form of infectious or contagious
germ. This is indorsed by the college
faculty, and the entire electrical equip
ments, the best in the west will be
turned over this week for further proof
of the discovery, which is now maintain
ed TO be a fact.
