OCEAN TRAVEL COSTS MORE
THE ADVANCE IN RATES BY THE
TRANSATLANTIC LINES.
WHAT EFFECT WILL 1T HAVE on THE GREAT
SUMMER EXODUS TO EUROPE THE
TOURIST &C FNTs CUT DOWN.


TOURIST &C ENTs CUT DOWN
Although IL Is still rather early for the heavy
travel, the annual American pilgrimage to Eu-
rope has at least begun and from the first OF this
month onward the steamships passenger lists
will increas. with each succeeding week. ii mas
been q matter for much speculation among all
those Interested in the subject just how far the
higher rates on the various lines will affect the
number Of travellers. and it cannot be said that
there Is absolute unanimity OF opinion regard
ing 1t. This will be the first spring and summer
season since the new prices were established.
The minimum frst-cabin rate on the fastest and
best steamers has now been raised by general
combination Of all the first-class transatlantic
lines to S1OO instead of $50 This went into effect
on the first OF this month. replacing the mini
mum winter rate Of $40 which was In Itself an
advance over the former winter minimum price
Of 500

fixed the steamship companies also decided that
no more commissions would he allowed to tour

which henceforth Will afford them no profit un-
less they sell the single steamship tickets for the
sake Of including with them the tickets for the
European railroads and hotels. For among the
latter there has been no such combination as
among the steamship lines. and the old commits
sion rates are still granted to the tour managers.

From The New-York Medical Record
While the fullest credit should be given TO tire
stan OF this important institution tthe State In

the study OF tox@mia In connection with insanity
is by no a novelty nor is Il the discovery
OF the enterprising Young gentlemen CONNECTED
with that establshmentl who have been credited
herewith. over a decade ago Solomon, REGIS and
others recognized the toxic origin OF mental dis.
ease. while no less than ten others. among them
Herter and Smith, have written extensively on the
subject Perhaps most credit should be given TO
Or. Allan McLanc Hamilton whose paper en-
"Autotoxis as a Cause OF Insanity was read be-
foro the Medical Society OF London In May last
and noticed In your London letter short time
subsequently. In this paper. which contained
much original research. the connection between
toxssmia and insanity was fully shown
