RESULT OF CHICAGO EXPERIMENT
Positive Declaration From Drs. Pratt
Germs--More Tests.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Consumption is
dead. Diptheria was killed outright
Typhoid was annihilated. Cholera has
been stunned for IA days. Pneumonia
was barely able to resume its work.
Anthrax and glanders escaped with SER
ious injury. Influenza missed slaughter
by its position under the tube.
This-is the bulletin from the labora-
tory of Professors Pratt and Wightman,
who announced to the world that the
Roentgen ray is the cure for these dis
eases.
The last and final efforts to revive the
expired colonies of germs have left four
stone-dead. The investigators made
this positive declaration. They claim
that every possible scientific precaution
was taken, that there might be no pos
sible reason for their own deception.
They are convinced of the success of the
first experiment with the bacilli in test
tubes.
They started yesterday morning in the
laboratory new series of trials, which
they insist will prove or disprove the
possible use of the discovery in actual
prLctice.

Pleased With the Result of the Oregon
Conventions.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Governor Nc
Kinley has written to some of his Ore
gon friends in Washington that the re-
suit of the Oregon conventions was
especially gratifying to him, not only
because the delegates were elected for
him. but because it starts the ball roll
ing on the Pacific coast, and because the
influence which it will have upon the
other conventions to be held on the
coast will no doubt be III the same direc-
tioD. Governor Mckinley has no warm
er supporters in congress than are to be
found in the Oregon delegation. In
spite of the senatorial sentiment, which
is almost wholly for Allison, the Oregon
senators are for the Ohio man with un-
doubted loyalty. And IN the house,
where the sentiment is no doubt very
strong for Reed, the Oregon representa-
tives are most favorably inclined toward
Major Mckinley.
The information which reaches Wash
ington is that the rest of the coast will
no doubt follow the lead of Oregon and
send Mckinley delegations.

4 Great Specific.

The glories of Hawaii and its
unequaled climate have been sung
and written about ever since Capt.
Cook made himself too fresh over
in Kona. One of the glories
which will gladden. the hearts of
many is the great big consign-
ment of Fredericksburg beer
which is coming in on the Austria
liza today and which can be pur-
chased by the glass, canful or
barrel at the Anchor saloon, where
the Right Honorable William
Francis Cunningham reigns
supreme and whose smiling face
greets you as you go in to take a
drink. This health ensuring beer
is fresher than Captain Cook ever
was, although in an entirely diff
erent manner. 1t is a perfect
cure for liver complaint and
ennui.

PADDED WS.

Contemporaries give foreign
news by a previous steamer as
the --latest" by the Asloun. This
is clever, bat the reading public
cannot always be fooled. A while
ago the Star gave under the latest
date an account of the mortal
wounding of European noble
man in duel. The BULLETIN
had given a true report of the
duellist's death some days previ-
ously, and on the day its contem-
porary reported the duel the au-
thentic news of the funeral was
given in this paper. Lately the
Star delayed its issue an hour to
get foreign news by an incoming
mail steamer. The BULLETIN pre-
ferred to go to press on time and,
If there had been any excit-
ing news, would have issued an
extra. Well, the Star came
out with about a quarter of
column of inconsequential "latest"
news, and nearly two columns of
padding with news that had come
by previous steamer. This time
it took the precaution to strike |
out the dates. Next day the Bull
LETIN gave the first complete
summary of the latest foreign adj
vices which appeared in any local
paper. Competition with such
newspaper methods as those des-
cribed is dead easy.

undue extravaganza, even by the

AT present members of the Exc

courtesy of officers of visiting
warships, who place the gigs of
the craft at their disposal for
going back and forth in making
their official calls. The shore
ferry boats are hardly quite up to
the mark for the purpose.
