LEPER AT BALTIMORE.
Woman Afflicted with the Dread Dis
ease in Johns Hopkins Hospital.

BALTIMORE, May 29.--There is a female
ieper at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, this
city. She was taken to the institution
several weeks ago suffering from a skin
eruption, but, after a careful diagnosis of
her case by the physicians at the hospital,
it was discovered that the woman was a
victim of the terrible disease of leprosy.
The unfortunat@ woman was then isolated
from the rest Of the patients, and in that
condition she will be kept at the hospital
until arrangements can be made with the
health authorities to remove her elsewhere.
The woman is a native of this city, and,
it is thought, contracted the terrible mall
ady a number of years ago while in the
West Indies After the return from the
tropics she went to live in Allegheny City,
and recently returned to this city. 1t was
about that time she noticed a few small
eruptions on various parts of her body.
Gradually they grew in size, and the ply
sicians whom she visited treated her for
number of ailments. She was given med
icine internally and applications of various
kinds were used on the eruptions, but they
were of no avail, and they continued to
increase. Her husband prevailed on her to
go to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. She
cid so, and it was several days before the
physicians discovered the fact that leper
was in their charge. At a meeting last
night DR.. William OSler was assigned
treatise on leprosy, and in addition to that
rectors~ DIR. Osler discoursed on the dis
ease in its many forms, and particularly
dwelt on the form affecting the woman
which, it is stated is rather a mild one.

POWDER WAR PROBABLE.
European Explosive Makers Threaten
to Invade This Country.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-z1salifornia
bids fair to be early involved in the powder
war which the Nobel monopoly threatens to
wage on American manufacturers Of high
explosives. A London dispatch quotes the
chairman of the stockholders meeting of
the Nobel trust asserting the intention of
the directors to establish dynamite factories
in the United States to offset the tariff pol
icy of our government. The Nobel trust is
a combination of European companies
which has obtained exclusive privileges for
the manufacture and sale of high eXplo-
sives, such as are used in mining in the
Transvaal. Representatives of several of the
principal companies have already made
overtures to California dynamite manufac-
turers to supply them with powder. Fig
ures have been furnished showing that dy-
Mantle can be made in this State and
shipped to South Africa cheaper than from
European ports. The inducements for the
Nobels to enter the United States is not
only to compete with home manufacturers
on this coast, where the principal ingre-
dients of dynamite are less costly than
elsewhere, but to seek to regain the British
Columbia trade and to hold trade from
Australia and New Zealand, which has of
late been cut into by California companies.

PHOEBE. COUSINS INDIGNANT.
Says Her Name Has Been WrOngfuIly
Used in the Fair Will Case.

ST. LOUIS May 29.-Phoebe w. Cousins
is indignant over the correction of herself
with the Fair will case, and, as the result
of dispatch from San Francisco, stating
that letters written by the late Senator
James C. Fair to Miss Cousins were in ex-
istence, she sent the following telegram TO
Judge Flack, at San Francisco, before
whose court the case is being tried: NO
person in your city possesses any letters of
mine in the Fair will case. l repudiate the
use of my name and correspondence.
In an interview Miss Cousins said: In
further criticism of this unparalleled impu-
dence of lawyers who have dared to drag
in so-called evidence of mine to sustain an
alleged widows claim on the estate of Mr..
Fair, permit me to say that have had no
correspondence in any way. shape, form or
manner with these lawyers, nor have OIL
fered any assistance in this case nor am
interested in the slightest degree as to the
outcome. Two years ago last March, Wnen
in California, L was wantonly dragged into
suffered untold mortitication by the publ
cation of a sensational article which Went
the rounds of the press, and which was
perpe trated by parties who are now to the
fore in the Craven litigation. a letter OF
protest to the court will follow my tele-
gram, and permit me to say that, while
deeply agrined at the wanton use Of my
name in this case, L court no publicity or
my private affairs nor seek any cover of
my action, so far as l am concerned in this
authoriZedly used, save as l may be called
to give them on demand of the court under
oath, will now be uttered at the peril Of
those who perpetrate the outrage"

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Progress on the
tariff bill in the Senate was checked to-day.
the plate paragraphs proving source of
controversy lasting throughout the day. AS
a result little more than a page Of the bill
was disposed of. The finance committee
succeeded without difficulty in resisting pro-
posed amendments from Democratic men,
bers of the committee, although each
amendment was debated at great length.
An exciting incident occurred during the
afternoon when Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, was called TO order by Mr.. Gallinger,
who was temporarily in the chair, for Sc
vereIy criticising the inaction of the House
Of Representatives. Mr.. Morgan declared
that the speaker of the House was enforce
ing an automatic trap-door rule by which
representatives were assembled and dis
persed, and he characterized this action as
an outrage against popular rights.
Mr. Frye, of Maine, first gave
warning that protest would be
made against criticisms of the other
house and when Mr.. Morgan vehemently
repeated his criticisms Mr.. Hale, OF Maine.
made a point Of order against him. The
temporary presiding officer directed Mr..
Morgan TO resume mis- seat and then ruled
that he was out of order. The Alabama
senator somewhat chagrined. was about to
appeal from the decision of the chair when
Mr.. Hale Withdrew MS point OF of1er ana
further friction was avoided. Mr.. Morgan
resumed his criticisms during the tarfr de5
bate and made the point that Congress-
was not now in session In ACCORDANCE wit4

tives having vacated its functions. After
