Chicago Gas sold down fractionally Under

These latter reports attracted no serious
consideration. and the buying at the de-

Dr.. Keen's Allusion to Vivisection
Applauded.
HILADELPHIA'S MEDICAL CONGRESS
Plan to Create aFund for Sick and
Disabled Physicians.
COMMITTEE APPOIN TED

PHILADELPHIA. June 3.-The medical
congress under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Medical Association began the third
day of its session this morning. during
which the formal jubilee exercises COM
memorating the semi-centennial of the as
ISOLATION were held. After some prelim-
mary business had been disposed Of, DR..
Horner Of Philadelphia reported in favor
of the establishment of a relief association
FOR poor and disabled physicians. Upon
motion 1t was decided to appoint commit
tee to bring about a successful realization
of the plan proposed.
The report of the board of trustees, next
submitted, showed receipts for the year to
have been sf3. sos: expenditures. SAL 81. The
balance resulting. together with the treas
urer,s balance. leaves net surplus OF
81, 100 in possession of the association.
DR.. w. w. Keen of Philadelphia then
presented able paper on surgery. In
general 1t was a review of the remarkable
the association. Particular attention was
given to a description of the modern hos
pital as compared with the old; also the
great growth and advance Of American text
These DR.. Keen argued, take second place
to none. The establishment of Laboratories
of research was vigorously urged, "and
merchants" the speaker continued. should
be made to understand tnat from puSi-
ness point of view, as well as from that OF
a humanitarian, there Is great necessity OF
assisting In such step rather than risk
the loss of millions in case Of an cpl
demic.'
DR.. Keen paid a glowing tribute to
American medical libraries and particularly
that of the surgeon general of the United
States army. This. he said. is without an
equal In the world, and Is always at the
command of the humblest practitioner. The
remainder of the paper dealt specifically
with the introduction Of the modern aids
to surgery. and a strong protest was made
against the passage of the anti-vivisectior
bill now in the Senate. The mention Of
this important subject brought the conven
ton to its feet, and DIR. Keens position was
long and enthusiastically applauded.

that the legality of the law was affirmed In
whole, and that the lower courts were di-
rected to proceed in accordance with the
opinion of the Supreme Court. they have
not been able to obtain certified copy OF

REPLY IS UNREASONABLE
Japanese Minister in Honolulu Talks Plainly
Regarding Hawaiian Incident.
Recognizes UAited States Interests
Interfere i'm the Question.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Tae steam
ship Mariposa arrived from Sydney via
Honolulu this morning with advices from
the Hawaiian capital supplemental to those
brought by the steamship Peru on Mon
day last. May "a, the day the Peru left
the island. the government announced that
its answer to Jnpan's demands had been
sent to the Japanese minister. Minister
Shimamure is not at all satisfied with the
reply made by the Hawaiian foreign Of
fee. In an interview upon the subject he
said:
.I do not consider what have received
to be an answer to my request for particu-
lars and will make another attempt to
secure one. Japan asks nothing unreason-
able. She wants justice and fairness, moth
ing else. If she cannot get it, l do not
know what will follow.
''The action Of the Hawaiian government
In refusing landing to people who Japan
believed, after investigation made before
the departure. were eligible, was a gross
violation of the treaty. Now. have asked
for an explanation for reasons for this gov
ernments action, and l am told that the
position taken by the Hawaiian govern
ment Is that immigration laws are reason
able, and that the administration had i'm
partially enforced them. My government
tells me to take a reasonable excuse for the
action taken. cannot find it in this. l do
HOt tnlHk tndt my government Is actlI.g
arbitrarily in this matter, which involves
the honor of the nation.
The United States has been advised of
the affair and probably knows the status
of the case as well as we do, and if the
government at Washington believes the
position taken by Japan is right accord
ing to International law, there would be no
Interference. On the other hand. if our
position is arbitrary, any nation may in
terfere.
Japan understands that there is a tacit
understanding that the United States ha.
an interest here: that while not assuming
the proportions of a protectorate she
stands in the nature of godmother to
the island republic, but officials of the
United States government are too wei
versed in-the custom Of dealing with ques
tions Of international law to say that Japar
is wrong If she Is right or that Hawaii /.
right If she is wrong. My instructions ir
the matter are plain. If I cannot get 9
reasonable answer to my request 1 may
go home and perhaps some one else viii
have better success. If 1 withdraw yo,
know what will follow. I hope that Il
will not reach that point"

THE SUGAR SCHEDULE
Why Senators Are Disinclined to Order An
other Investigation.

The Senate had another circus over the
sugar scandal today. Mr.. Tillman
brought up the subject by making a. mo,
tion to discharge the committee having
under consideration his resolution Of In
vestigation. A very heated debate oc-
CURED. during which Mr.. Tillman, spoke
with his accustomed frankness, and Mr.
Gallinger expressed his confidence in Sena-
tors Aldrich and Smith, and thought their
denials should set the matter at rest 1t
finally resulted in Mr.. Tillman withdraw
ing his motion to discharge the committee,
1t having been stated by members of the
committee that the resolution would be re-
ported.
Against Another Investigation.
There are several reasons for the disin-
clination of the Senate to order another
sugar investigation. Aside from the fact
that Investigations usually result IN moth
Ing but sensational publications. and are
often made the vehicle to procure notoriety
for persons whcm the Senate is not inter-
ested In. there Is strong inclination to
keep cut of an Investigation now, which
comes from the fact that senators gen.
orally believe that the present sugar sched-
ule will be so changed as to relieve 1t of Its
most objectionable features. Senators feel
that, after all, the best thing is to relieve
Il
the trust than to give the trust what they
want anu then investigate to learnuho
| they got 1t.
1t Is felt that If the schedule is changed
there is no need Of having a sugar scan,
dal. the conviction that 1t Is to be
| changed by general consent disposes them
| to drop the matter.
A Grim Skeleton,
There is grim skeleton behind the doc,
that has closed upon the Congress thaa
| passed the Wilson bill. If the investiga
ton is finally forced upon the Senate II
| will be because these old bones rattle
whenever a sugar lobbyist walks through
the corridors of Congress- There are
| political reasons why this skeleton shoult
| not be brought out now. lest 1t walk wear
| ing the livery of the former administra
| ton.
1t is not believed generally that an in
| vestigation would bring about the exposur
of those then in high position who mos
deserve to be exposed, some Of whom hav
| thus far apparently escaped even sus
| picion. This leads senators who have IL
| desire to shield any one to oppose tn
| opening up of the matter. They think iha
| II the whole truth cannot be brought ou
| there Is no use to bring out a part In
| doubtful manner.
