THE SURGICAL CONGRESS.
A Wonderful Operation Made Upon
the Human Heart.

Berlin, April 24-At a meeting of the
surgical congress, Dr. Rehe, of Fran kfort,
reported a successful operation upon the
human heart, the first case of the kind In
the history of surgery The account of the
case, as given by DR.. Rehe, caused sen sa-
ton among the assembled savants, who
listened eagerly as the doctor gave the
details of the operation. Interest was
added to the description by the introduction
of the patient to the Con gress.
In telling of the case DR.. Rehe said that
the man had been stabbed in the heart. In
the ordinary course his death would have
been certain in a very short time. He WAS,
however, hurriedly conveyed to the hos
pital, where DR.. Rehe was in attendance.
The doctor had him at once taken to the
operating-room where he laid bare the
heart and found that there was wound
on the right side Of the organ. He sealed
up the orifice made by the stabber and then
applied general treatment for arresting the
hemorrhage The heart worked violently
during the operation, but despite the COM
motion of the organ the patient made good
progress and soon recovered.

Our Consular Serrice-

The subject Of the American consul
abroad is receiving a great deal OF atten-
tion just at present. and some of the as
pirants receive an uncomfortable shock to
their pride when they discover the va
riety OF conSulShip to which they are as
piring. Lord Palmerston once said that
a consul was not a gentleman, and the
status of consul, as a consul, in foreign
lands, has not changed much since that
day. or course, many consuIs are gentle
men, and are received as such, but it is
on account OF their character and not
their office. What the lordly Briton rleant
was that consul was not necessarily q
gentleman, as an army or navy ,iffio is
generally taken to be, or as member
of the diplomatic service must be-fitted
by birth, traditions and education TO take
q place in the social life of the country to
which he goes. The ambassador, his sec
retaries and his attaches are ornamental,
and not always anything else, If they
were not gentlemen they could hardly be
ornamental, and hence there would be no
reason for their existence. But q con-
sui is different. He must look after the
commercial Intercourse of his country
with the foreign power, and in that way
he is extremely usefui-indeed, he is neces-
sary But az to his social position, the
foreign country does not always think 1t
necessary that he should have any.

CAPITOL NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Senator Pasco Is undertaking to deter
mine when the legislature shall meet In
Florida to elect Senators by amending the
Federal law on the sub ject. He proposes
to change the statutes so that the legislu-
ture Of each State whose first regular
session Is held next preceding the expira-
tion of the time for which any Senator
was elected to represent such State in
Congress shall, on the second Tuesday after
the meeting and organization thereof, pro
coed to elect a Senatorin Congress-.
This amendment would prevent recur-
renee Of the singular situation which no w
presents itself In Florida, whereby the
State is left with but one Senator during
the present important special session.
An important meeting has been held at
the Capitol, which was attended by the
representatives Of the National Association
or Lumbermen and number of Republican
Senators from the Northwest, the South
and Pacific coast Sta tes, at which anagrea-
rnent was reached TO stand by the lumber
rates OF the Dingley tariff bill as 1T came
from the House. Among the Senators who
attended were Burrows OF Michigan, Spoon
CT of Wisconsin, Davis of Minnesota, Will
son OF Washington, Pritchard OF North
Carolina and others, and the representa-
tiyes or the lumbermen included leading
operators from every section OF the coun-
try. The subject OF the lumber conditions
and the results to trade and industry In
the country under the 81 rate OF the Nc
kiniey tariff were Canyassed, two hours
being devoted To consideration OF the mat
ter in all its phases 1t was found that
the Southern lumbermen are as strongly
In favor OF protective duties on pine and
hemlock as are the operators OF the North
west and the Pacific coast, and they Will
stand against a reduction OF the rates Of
the Dingley bill.
The spokesman of the lumbermen was
Walter Eddy, of Michigan, who made a
vigorous talk In favor OF the top notch
rate on rough lumber, rehearsing-au the
familiar arguments against the dollar rate
or any compromise figure such as has been
suggested. The Senators gave close at
tention to Mr.. Eddy's remarks and upon
their conclusion signified a general ac-
quescence in the statements made by him.
1t is understood that the Senate Finance
Committee will adjust the lumber schedule
early next week, and in the meantime the
Senators present at the meeting will take
an early occasion to urge the adoption of
the So rate.
