to the bundesrath some time ago to
forbid the diet of Lippe-Detmold to

self being a candidate. Reliable infor-
nation now has it that Bavaria, Sax
ony, Wurtemberg, the ThWgenian
states, Hesse, Mecklenberg and the
Hanse towns in the bundesrath, have
decided against the appeal. Three inn
portant measures, providing for an in
crease in the strength of the army,

restriction, are so far advanced that
the bills favoring them are ready for
presentation to the reichstag as soon
as that body cOnvenes. The army bill
not only provides for a slight increase
in the peace effective footing, but 1t
also provides for the reorganization of
the field artillery and the completion
of telegraph and railroad equipment
Altogether the bill will involve an in
crease of some 10000, 900 marks yearly,
besides an immediate outlay of a larger
amount.
The first preliminary elections for
members of the diet have been fixed
for Oct 27, and the final elections will
take place a week later. The parties
are split in manner which makes it
impossible to predict the result, except
that sweeping changes in the compost
tion Of the house are improbable, and
the Conservatives having Agrarian
and anti-American leanings are very
likely to form an agreement.

doctors outside read them and have
them made up.
Then the prescriptions are placed on
the window ledge, from whence they
are removed by those inside. Food is
conveyed to the patients and their at
tealdants by sisters fof charity in a
similar manner, and the nurses furnish
by telephone any changes in the pa
tlents' condition. All persons who come
in contact with Herr Barisch, prin-
c1pally the hospital attendants, have
been isolated Some Of them resisted
and others tried to escape, but were
captured, and all were locked up.
1t is feared that the. precautions were
taken too late. Herr Barisch was ill
for three days before he saw a doctor,
during which time he lived with his
wife and visited wine shops. The wife,
who has now developed suspicious
symptoms, visited friends, rode in pub
lie omn1buses and came in contact with
dozens Of persons at her husbands fu-
neral.
The excitement in medical circles is
tremendous. The chemist, Prof. Hof-
ritz Luding, has made a pathetic
speech, during which he expressed the
hope that the doctors Of Vienna will
prove themselves equal to all emer-
gercies. This reveals the fact that 1t
is the opinion Of medical men at the
Austrian capital that the plague Is
likely to spread in that city.
Another significant indication Of
this apprehension is found In the fact
that a temporary hospital, consisting
Of several detached sheds, was hastily
erected during the past few days, be-
yond the infectious hospi a..
A painful feature of the Viennese
situation is the unscrupulous attitude
or the anti-Semite newspapers which
are accusing the Jewish doctors Of
bringing the plague to Vienna. 1t is
feared that this appeal to the worst

riots against the Jews, if the disease

On another dark night he was again

reached old schoolhouse in a lonely road.
The teacher had left one Of the windows

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S-Archbishop Kean's
departure for Rome on the Werra yesterday
Saturday was surprise to his friends in
this country He had not intended TO sail
until December, when Archbishop Ireland, of
st. Paul, was to have gone with him.
The hurried departure, a prominent Catholic
clergyman said, due to the fact that he
was summoned to Rome to make report on
the state of feeling in America in regard to
the annexation Of the Philippines and the
attitude of the American people towards the
Catholic church in Cuba, Porto Rico and
other new American possessions.
Archbishop Kean attended the meeting of
the archbishops of the United States held in
Washington a week ago, and consulted with
the different archbishops as to the views OF
their diocese as to the church taking an ag-
gressive attitude in the new American pos
