DR.. Kerr Submits a Proposition to
Arbitrate Troubles.
1t begins to look as though the old fight
between DR.. Kerr and the other members
OF the Emergency Hospital staff would
soon be on again, after having dropped out
Of sight for awhile. At meeting CT the
board of trustees Of the hospital yesterday
afternoon DR.. Kerr, who was practically
deposed from his position as chief of the
surgical staff early in the summer sub
mitted a proposition looking to a settle
ment of the controversy. He suggested
that committee of five be appointed to
investigate the troubles. two members of
which should be appointed by Dr. Swan
Burnett. the head of the medical staff, and
two members by himself, they to choose
the fifth. The board accepted the PROPOSE
ton. Then Dr. Kerr submitted second
proposition, to the effect that If the COM
mittee found that he was to blame for the
trouble, he would tender his resignation,
and II the committee found that the other
members of the staff We're In the wrong,
they should resign. This was not accepted,
however. and the question of disciplining 2

What. the Matter With the Ga.,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Can you or the inspector of gas inform
us what the matter is with the gas?
Last night it nearly went out at my
house and others on Capitol Hill, and it is
the same again tonight.
And, by the way, 1 would like to inquire
il any of our citizens have discovered that
great increase of light which the gas COM
pany and Senator Faulkner assured us we
would have under the new law and change
of standard?
Before we had sixteen candle-power gas:
now we are supposed to have twenty-four
candle-power gas-an increase of 30 per
cent. My bill for September says it was
26.o4 candle power, but 1 have not been
able to discover any perceptible increase
in the light, nor have l found any one who
has. The fact is, stated at the time,
the change of standard is mere sham or
pretense. Notwithstanding it is rated high
er by the changed standard it is practically
the same gas we had before.
1t Is bad enough to be imposed upon in
that way, but 1t is worse still to have the
lights go down SO one cannot see to read
or write! CONSUMER.

The first lecture under the auspices of the
National Geographic Society this season
was delivered by Gen. Greedy last night at
the First Congregational Church, on the
explorations of DR.. Nansen. Narrating
some of his own experiences In the north
and telling of the splendid performance of
Lieut.. Lockwood, in making what has been
the highest known latitude until Dr. Nam
sen undertook his heroic journey toward
the north pole, the speaker set forth the
scientific results of the hardy Norseman S
expedition. One of these is the discovery
that a warm current exists near the pole
and that there is also a large open sea
where land was supposed to be. Nansens
drifting was clearly described. His exploit
of abandoning his ship and going overland
with twenty-four dogs toward the pole was
characterized foolhardy. Attaining a
latitude of Sc degrees and PC minutes, he
returned by way of Franz Joseph Land

General Weyler, Cuba's new captain gen
eral IS doing good deal of talking prelim-
mary to his actual fighting. Other COM
manders in the Sugar Island have tried to
queil the insurrection by proclanations and
interviews and have failed so utterly that
1t is fair to expect a similar result in the
case OF the successor to General Campos
Ever since he landed WeyIer has been talk
ing and writing. keeping his press bureau,

little of valuable information He has
Chilled the hearts of the expectant scribes.
however, by announcing that he should not
allow any newspaper men to accompany the
spanish armies thus retracting the promise
that he made in Madrid that he would fight
the battles for the crown in the full Zig bit
or international inspection. Of course with
the correspondents all penned up in Havana,
their mail scrutinized and their movements
watched by Spanish spies, the task of the
press censor becomes far easier than if the
reporters were allowed to see for themselves
the glorious victories of the Spanish arms
That are noted from Havana, via Madrid
with a frequency that must be most gratify-
Ing to the home government. But some
success: for instance, the other day there
came to hand dispatch opening with a
neatly phrased summary of a Spanish
victory over the insurgents" that in its de-
tails proved 70 be a humiliating defeat OF
the forces under Lopez owing to the vastly
superior tactics OF the Cubans, who by q
feint drew the Spaniards into a perilous
position surrounded them, and forced them

Gent that the censor looked at the begin
nng and the ending of the dispatch and.
1Inding them unobjectionable from the Span
ISM point OF view. passed the matter as loyal
and proper without seeing the real drift Of
the story in its entirety. The Star has for
tunately had the services in Cuba of cor
respondent who not only found the news
and the truth, but dared to send home the
facts OF the situation. His deportation was
the consequence. His letter that is pub
iished today gives good idea of the plan of
warfare that is now being inaugurated by
the soldiers who think that the insurgents
are without military honor. Evidently the
coming of General Weyler has spurred his
feutenants on to extra zeal TN cruelty.
