TYPHUS ANTi-TOxINE
A Now and Valuable Discovery In the
Science OF Therapeutics OF Infectious
Diseases.

W.sU"c7oN, Nov, By. United Sts tes
Consul Ueorg - gewtse,-e Gi1hcnan,
sends TO the department of state the
following account ot q report soon to
be published in a Ge.man medical
journal, " proi. H. Pieipper and DR..
w. Kollc, two well-known bacteri,
ologists of Berlin, giving the effect OF
a number Of experiments they have
made with "typhus anti-toxine:"
IF their hopes are confirmed" says
the consul, 'the science Of therapeu-
tics in infectious diseases will have
received another most valuable access
sion in this new discovery. The two
experimenters believe that exemption
from typhus germs, like immunity
from cholera germs and other con.
tagious diseases Of like character, may
be traced back to the existence In the
blood of anti-typhoid substances, and
from this standpoint the very success.
full results of the investigations
have been gained. That this theory
is most important and practical Is re.
allied when the vitality of the typhus
bacillus, as discovered by Koch,
Eberth and Klebs, is given considera.
tion. The typhoid bacillus is known
to exist largely in we'll and spring
water. and the fact that they are fre.
quently the cause Of infection Is
widely recognized by authorities on
bacteriology. Consequently this latest
very important discovery is to be
greeted with joy, as 1t may prove in
the future the means of preserv-
ing numberless lives from untimely
demise, particularly as man Is sus'
ceptible to attacks from these bacilii
during the best years Of his develop
ment-20 to 25 years. The inocula'
tions Of 'typhus anti-toxine' can bs
easily and quickly executed. and will
prove of great value and benefit espe'
cially in times Of epidemic, when tho
need Of prompt and eficacious life
saving remedy is most urgent. Tho
entire fruits Of the experiments will!
soon be published for the benefit OF
the medical world"

WASHINGTON, Nov. sO.-An evening
paper here prints an account of con.
Versation between President Cleveland
ana prominent democratic politician
~ which the former expressed at
length his views upon the future Of
the democratic party. The president
oeiieves. according to the story, that
wh'ie blunder was made by the lead
ers who controlled the convention at
ohieago last July, he is hopeful that
many OF the men responsible for that
action Will be convinced of their folly
In the near future.
ho expects to see the organization
brought back into the true democratic
path and he is confident that the
party, by repudiating at the first op.
portunity the doctrines proclaimed at
oMcago, can quickly recover much of
'he ground lost in the last campaign.
IL Is to those democrats who fol.
lowed Bryan solely on the ground Of
regularity" and to their brethren
who organized the movement leading
TO the indianapolis convention that
Nr. Cleveland looks for the reorgan.
lzation and the rehabilitation of the
democratic party. He Is confident
That they will not follow the free sill
YER extremists into the populist camp,
out will gladly come back into the
democratic fold when the parting of
the ways" is reached, as it will be very
shortly, In his opinion. The number
OF these democrats is much greater,
MIR. Cleveland believes, than most
persons suspect 1t lis his estimate that
In many of the southern states particu-
larly, probably third of the votes
given Mr.. Bryan were cast by demo-
Gratis who were Influenced In register.
Ing their ballots exclusively by the
Idea Of regularity" Mr.. Cleveland
Is said to expect that the radical ele-
ment OF the party, composed, as it is,
OF men who enthusiastically indorse
all the dangerous doctrines pro-
claimed at Chicago, will shortly be
swallowed up in the populist organiza
tion. 1t is the presidents idea that
the sooner they 60 the better it will
be for the democratic party. lie
wants the reorganization to be ef
fected along the lines laid down in
the Indianapolis platform, which he
regards as the embodiment of essen
tial democratic principles.
The president insists that it is only
to the democratic party, purified and
rejuvenated, as he hopes it will be by
this sloughing off process and by ac-
cessions from the republican and inde-
pendent voters. that the people can
look with any degree Of hope or conf
dence Of relief from their burdens.
He thinks the greatest dangers which
now menace the county are the greed
of organized wealth and the rapacity
Of corporations. He sees in the return
Of the republican party to power nc
prospect of an abatement OF these
evils,

was elected by the smallest majority
in the history Of Chilean presiden tial
campaigns, and soon after the election
revolutionary talk was very noticea.
BILE at Coauimbo and Iquique, great
dissatisfaction being expressed over
the cabinet selected by President Err

To add to the trouble, the finance
minister reported that deficit of 49,.
10000 would be shown at the end oi
1895, the principal expense being In
building up the navy. The president
also had trouble with the minister OF
the interior regarding the appoint
ment of governors for certain dis
tricts, and the minister, who is said to
be friendly to the opposition, made
most OF his chance to SOW seeds of dis.
cord.
On financial questions the greatest
trouble arose, as the cabinet assumed
dictatorial methods, and the certain
downfall Of the ministry was expected
when congress met on November a.
The Wild Swan was at Guayaquil on
that date and did not learn what took
place in Chill. 1t was said that Presi-
dent Errazuriz had invited Barrios

there Is every indication that 1t will

MUST GO TO JAIL.
Tho Supreme Court Refuses to Review
Judgment Of tho Court Of ApDenis

Inc supreme Court Refuses to Review .
Judgment Of tho Court Of Appeals.
WASHINGTON, Dec. by the unani-
nous decision yesterday, announced
by Chief Justice Fuller, the supreme
court of the United States practically
affirmed the judgment of the court Of
appeals Of the District OF Columbia in
the case of Elverton r. Chapn an, the
stock broker, who declined to answer
certain questions propounded by the
senate committee investigating the
famous Sugar trust rumors in connec-
tion with the consideration of the
tariff bill in 1893. The effect of the
decision is that Mr.. Chapman must
surrender himself to serve the term of
80 days adjudged against him upon
conviction in the district court and
pay fine of 500.
A collateral effect is that Messrs.
Havemeyer and Searles, of the Sugar
trust, and Messrs Edwards and
Shriver, the newspaper correspon-
dents, who also declined to answer the
questions propounded by the senate
committee, will have to submit them
selves for trial in the district courts
upon indictments similar to that in
the Chapman case.
The history Of the case is familiar,
having been frequently narrated in
these dispatches.
Chapman was convicted under sec.
tion l02, Revised Statutes, which pr o
vides punishment for failure to an
swer questions asked by committee
of congress, the court overruling all
suggestions that the section was un-
constitutional. He sued on a writ Of
error to have the case reviewed by the
United States supreme court, and the
government moved to dismiss the writ
on the ground that the supreme cour
had no jurisdiction to review the judg-
ment Of the district courts in criminal
cases.
There yet remains to Chapman, how
ever,the right to apply for his release
after he shall have been placed in the
custody Of the marshal, under the sen.
tence of the district court. upon a writ
of habeas corpus, and the whole case
will then come up for review. He
may file his petition in the district
court, but inasmuch as that court has
already practically decided against
him, he will be more likely to go to
the supreme court of the United
States direct with an original action.

United States is the duty of this gov
ernment
"The present Hawaiian administra-
tion Is waiting for the inauguration OF
President Mckinley to make another
effort to have the islands annexed, y
said Mr.. Foster. 1.-THE constitution
under which the people of the islands
are living at present has annexation
as one of the main things to be striven
for.
"The islands were never In a more
prosperous condition than at present.
They are prospering in business way,
because the last sugar crop was an ex-
ceptionally good one, and the admin
istration of President Dole is the best
that the people ever had.
ut is recognized that the ultimate
fate of the islands, if they are not an
nexed by the United States, will be
annexation by some other OF the
great powers. II will be impossible
for the islanders to govern themselves
successfully for any great length OF
time by The reason of the clash be-
tween the different elements, republi-
cans and royalists, and natives and
foreigners. One thing is settled, and
that is that the queen will never rule
again or the monarchy be restored.
So 1t remains for the United States to
act without delay or some other ma
ton will assume power In the Ha-

jackson, Nov. 30.-The Supreme court
today decided that non-taxable property
could not be seized and sold for poll tax.
This reverses the recent decision OF At
torney General Nash on this subject,
and ntiirms the decision of Chancellor
Conn in the case OF w. 4. Ratliffe, sher-
ifi. vs.. Ambus Beale. The opinion was
delivered by Chief Justice Cooper. 1t
is long, able and exhaustive one, and
takes the position that the trainers Of
the constitution meant to leave the pay
ment Of the poll tax optional. The
opinion holds that the clause in the
franchise section stating that the poll
tax should be lien upon taxable prop
erty not only in the hands Of third
person, but likewise Of the taxpayer
himself, and that this clause was part OF
the general scheme as q restriction
against ignorant suffrage.
