HE FINDS THE MICR0BE AND
THE CURATIVE SERUM
AS WELL.
His Experiments With Animals Sue
cesSful And He Will Try His
Remedy On The Yellow
Fever Patients In
Rio JaneirO.

New York, Oct. 13.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Monte Video,
says:
DIR. Saranelli, who a few
months ago announced his dis
cOvery of the yellow fever germ,
now announces the discovery
of a serum which will, he declar-
es, make yellow fever harmless.
He will publish a pamphlet ex-
planning his latest discovery.
The details will be withheld I'M
til Saranelli officially notifies
the medical society of Uruguay
what he has accomplished.
DIR. Saranelli encountered great
difficulties before he perfected
his curative serum. He made his
experiments on many animals
including horses and oxen, which
had been inoculated with fever vi
rus. After a years work he fin
ally succeeded in producing a Sc
rum which he found would i'm
mune inoculated animals. .
After a conference with leading
physicians of the medical society
of Uruguay, DR.. Saranelli will &c
to Rio Jeneiro, where he will test
his solution on fever patients
He expresses himself as absolute
ly confident of the curativepOwers
of the fluid.
DR.. Sarenelli is q noted bacter.
iOlOgist of Italy. In his work OF
the fever problem he met with
considerable success; then he
came to Uruguay as a director OF
the Experimental Hygiene insti
tute, to continue his studies and
conduct experiments. He att
racted great attention in the med
zeal world some time ago when he
announced his discovery of the
| yellow fever microbe. Since then
he has given all his time to find
ing a curative serum and now be,
lieves he has succeeded.
1t is expected that DR.. Saran-
ellis pamphlet explaining mis-
latest discovery will be published
this week. In the meantime he
has sent letters to Paris aid
Rome announcing the success of
his experiments.

JUSTICE FIELD MAY RETIRE.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 49,
Justice Stephen j. Field, of the
United States Supreme court, it
is believed by many of his friends,
will announce his retirement from
the Supreme bench some time
during the present term, though
he, himself, would say nothing
about the matter for publication
when the newspaper men called
at his residence today. 1t has
been his ambition to eclipse the
record of Chief Justice Marshall
for length of service on the SUI
preme court bench, and in this
ambition he was successful dur
ing the past summer. He was
appointed in 1863 to his present
position, and being now nearly 81
years aid, has been eligible for
retirement on full pay for near
ly eleven years. Attorney Gen
.eral McKenna is regarded as be.
ing almost certain TO succeed
Justice Field.

New York, Oct. 13.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Washington
says:
1t is definitely announced at the
Navy department that when the
cruiser Baltimore leaves for Haw,
ali, probably next week, she will
carry with her orders to the York
town and Wheeling to go to Mare
Island.
The withdrawal of these two
gunbOats means that the admin
istratiOn is satisfied that the
Baltimore and the gunbOat Ben
ningtOn will be sufficient to pro-
tect American interests in the
islands in the future. 1t also in
dictates that the temporary need
which called the two gun boats
to Honolulu has expired and that
the president feels safe in direct
ing their return.
1t is frankly admitted that the
only reason the authorities had
for sending the gun boats to Haw
ali was because of a fear that the
residents in the islands,

PRIZE FIGHT FATALITY.
One Man Dead and Another Ser

iously Injured.
New Orleans, Oct. 13.-The new
Tulane Athletic club opened last
night with big benefit for INDECENT
yellow fever patients and their
families in this city. An attrac-
tive program, including boxing
bouts, was arranged, and among
those was a contest between Jack
Cummings and Walter Griffin.
There was much interest in the
contest and there was a large
crowd present. The fight was of
a whirlwind order from start to
finish, and both men gave and
received much punishment in the
fifteen rounds fought, but before
the end both fighters were in an
apparent state of exhaustion. In
the fifteenth round Griffin hit
Cummings hard punch and the
latter sank to the floor, not from
the effects of the blow, but from
lack of vitality. He was picked
up and carried to his dressing
room. He complained of his
head and soon became uncon.
.sciOus. DR.. Bloom, of the Char,
ity hospital, said the mans injur,
les were fatal and that he was
suffering from hemorrhage of the
brain, and possibly concussion
An ambulance was called and the
poor fellow was taken to his no,
tel to die. Griffin had also been
very badly punished and was
taken to his home. \ policeman
was sent to watch by Griffin'S
bedside. When Cummings death
was announced, Griffin was plac
ed under arrest, but was not able
to be moved.

No Sigl 0 yellow JOCK,
Yellow Fever Germs Do Not De-
velOp Here.

The king of France marched
ed up the hill with ten thousand
men. and the king of France
marched down again. This is
what the board of health OF this
city has done, the hill being their
personal magnifying of an old
chronic case of liver and kidneys
into one of yellow fever. A more
unwise action than that of SO
hastily publishing. to the world
that this city was afflicted with
yellow fever, could not possibly
have been taken. There was
such an utter absence of agree
ment on the part of those present
at the meeting, that common pru-
dence would have suggested that
watch be placed on the premises
and nothing said until develop
ments. The neighbOrs and hun
dreds of others were able TO state
facts concerning the old chronic
case that would have settled the
whole matter at the. outset. Then
there is a grave questioning of the
tests by which the health officers
assume the presence of yellow
fever, some of the best physicians
in this city declaring that the
identical substances are found In
the urine in dengue that the
health officers claim to be dis
tinctive of yellow fever. Doctors
may differ, and honestly so, and
there is no reflection on their
medical skill, but there is SER
ious reflection on their judgment,
when in the face of every prob
ability against the possibility of
yellow fever originating in this
city, they so hastily advertise the
town to the world as thus infect
ed. The result is to kill our bu-
siness, already sufficiently depres-
sed by the conditions existing
to the east of us, prevent the sur
rounding localities from purchas-
ing any supplies here, detain our
own citizens in the north and
compel them to purchase their
fall supplies there, and effectually
destroy all hope of single winter
tourist visiting the city. Were
the facts known, that no yellow
fever case ever originated in this
city, and that the germs do not
propagate themselves here, there
would be no stunning the city on
account of what has occurred in
the low and moist sections of the
state, down on the Buffalo
bayou and all through the malar-
ial region. If New Orleans is
losing, as she asserts, a 81, 900, 900
a week on account of the yellow
fever there in that section, surely
The loss to this city of the trade
withheld on account of this false
declaration of fever in orr midst
is going to seriously affect our
own business. 1t were well if the
order to march up the hill were
not given until the necessity for
it arises. If this lesson, dear as
it has been, will teach our health
officers and others the need of
wisdom it will not be altogether
in vain. The action of the mayor
and the council in this matter has
teen far more iudicious and level
headed than that of the health
authorities, and for this the citi-
zens thank them.

SUPREME COURT.
Nebraska Will Get The
Black Eye.
THE BIG RAILROAD SUIT THAT
BRYAN FATHERED WENT
AGAINST HIM.
It Is Predicted That The Nebraska
Freight Law Will Be Pronounced
Unconstitutional Joint
Traffic Case Will Also Be
Against The Association.


to the Herald from Washington
says:
The Union Pacific, Burlington
and Chicago and Northwestern
railroads will, it is expected, win
their case against the state of Ne
braska in the opinion which will
be handed down on Monday by
the Supreme court, to whose jur-
isdiction it was appealed last
spring, when William Jennings
Bryan appeared as council for Ne
braska.
Justice White, sitting in cir
cult court in Chicago two years
ago, issued an injunction against
the state against enforcing the
Nebraska law in 1898, the validity
of which was called into court by
these roads. 1t is understood the
opinion of the Supreme court will
be in accord with this injunction.
The law of 1898, establishing a
system of maximum freight
charges, was considered by the
roads doing business in the state
as illegal, being too low to allow
hauling on a living basis. 1t was
asserted also that the law was
unconstitutional. The case was
pending more than four years in
the state courts, the decision
each time being in favor of the
railroad companies.
Upon the granting of the in
junction by Justice Brewer the
state carried its case to the Su.
preme court of the United States,
but at no time has there been any
hope of a final decision favor
able to the government. The case
is almost identical with the Tex
as case, which was decided by
the Supreme court in favor of the
Texas railroads. The Supreme
court will hear the Joint Traffic
case on Monday. Experts are of
the opinion that the decision of
the court will be against the as
ISOLATION. The case is analogous
to the trans Missouri case, decid-
ed at the spring term against the
railway companies. 1t is more
than two years old and was
brought by District Attorney Nc
Farlane, in the New York circuit
court at the request of the inter
state commerce commission
and forming the Joint Traffic as
ISOLATION.
The commission charged viola
ton of both the interstate com.
merce act and the Sherman anti
trust law, but the Circuit, as IN
the trans-MissOuri case, declared
against the government. Appeal
being taken to the Circuit court
of appeals, the case was again
argued and again decided in fav-
or of the association. Appeal
was consequently taken by the in
terstate commerce commission to
the Supreme court. Meantime
the trans Missouri case had been
decided adversely by the tribunal
of the highest resort.
So similar were these two cases
that at the time of the argument
of the trans Missouri case the
Joint Traffic association, in order
to anticipate, if possible, the de-
cisiOn of the Supreme court in its
own case obtained permission of
the court to allow the transmits
souri, case to be argued by the
counsel for the Join traffic assO-
citation.
