A LUNG HEALER
Startles the Members of American
Medical Association.

Denver, Colo, June 1O.-The feature
of the ffty-frst annual convention of
the American Medical association, now
in session in this city, was a remark
able address by DR.. j. B. Murphy of
Chicago, who, although still a young
man, is recognized as one of the great
est living surgeons. DR.. Murphy'S pa
per was entirely upon the subject of the
lungs, but with special reference to the
discovery by him of a cure for con-
sumption, or tuberculosis of the lungs.
The discovery was made public for the
first time and it's announcement
aroused great enthusiasm among the
assembled physicians. DR.. Murphy's
new treatment is based upon the fact
that the sore spots in the lungs have
a natural tendency to heal, the healing
process being retarded or prevented by
the constant expansion of the tissue In
breathing.
The treatment consists in the intro
duction of pure nitrogen in the lung
cavity through a hypodermic needle.
The action of the nitrogen congresses
the lung and gives it an entire rest
After a few weeks the nitrogen is with
drawn and air admitted, the lung ex-
banding to it's usual dimensions.
After a warm discussion the conVen-
ton refused to admit the New York
State Medical association which does
not accept the code of ethics of the
American Medical association.
Columbus, O., was chosen as the next
place of meeting on June Z, 8, and TO-
1899.
Joseph Mcdowell Matthews of Louis
Vile was elected president.

EXPLOSIVE BULLETS.
Twelve Men Killed in Mountai1
Feud in Kentucky.

Manchester, KY, June 9.-Clay coun-
ty is in terror over the Baker-Howard
feud which has become one of the most
startling mountain wars in Kentucky
history Men who are wounded are
refused succor by citizens because they
fear the wrath of the opposing factions.
The Howard faction says the Bakers
are using explosive bullets. Many re-
endorsements have come in from Pine
vile and other places, bringing rifles
and revolvers of heavy calibre. The
factions are we'll armed and have large
supplies of ammunition.
The Bakers and Whites on one side
are rich and influential, the White fam
ily having been chronic office holders
for many years. Opposing them are
the Howards Gerrards and Philpots,
all powerful families with large connec-
tons
The first man killed was Jim Crow
PhilpOt who was shot on New Years
day in a general fight, in which several
were wounded. Since then eleven men
have died as the result of the feud.
Half a dozen have been wounded. John
G. White, a wholesale grocer of Win
chester and a brother of Will White,
who was killed last Tuesday, has come
here to take part in the war. He
brought a number of guns and pistols
and the Towards say, brought eXplo-
sive bullets. This warfare is some
what different from other mountain
feudS in that there are more pitched
battles and more men wounded.

RUSSIA IS WARNED.
Must Not Send Troops to Yang-tse-
Kiang Valley.

London June 10.-The newspapers
here are printing many congratulations
upon the signing of the Anglo-Chinese
convention yesterday gives Great
Britain an extension of the boundaries
of Hong Kong, including Kan-Lung, of
altogether 200 square miles under a
lease, to which the greatest Importance
is attached, as the territory thus ac-
quired is regarded as being essential
for the protection of Hong Kong.
The lease comprises the island of
Lantao, to the westward of Hong Kong
and the mainland behind Kan-Tung,
south and east of a line drawn from
Mrs Bay to Deep Bay. While the Chi
nese get the northern shores of these
bays, the lease covers their waters, sub
ject to the right of the Chinese to use
them for their own ships.
When questioned in the house of COM
mons last evening as to whether Rus
STA contemplated sending troops to the
Yang-tse- Kiang valley the parliament
tary secretary for the foreign office Mr..
George N. CurzOn made an important
statement to the effect that such pro-
ceeding, without the consent of China,
would be act of war, and, he added,
the government would take the requi-
site steps to protect British interests.
Obviously this is intended as a warning
to Russia to not interfere in the Yang
tSe-Kiang valley.

Kisses FOR TANNER.
Theater-GOers Evidence a Dis
like for the Governor.

Chicago, June 10.-Hisses for John
r. Tanner and cheers for a score of
other public men are nightly occurren-
ces at the Masonic Temple roof thea
ter.
When the portrait of Illinois chief
executive was shown last night on Ed
ison's ''wargraph' of moving pictures
a storm of sibi1ant noises, demonstra-
lions of the governors unpoQuIarity
surged through the theater for Several
minutes. 1t was a spontaneous and
most vigorous expression of disapprov-
al
Nor was kissing the only method in
which the apparent sentiment of popu-
lar dislike was voiced. UproariouS
shouts conveying criticism of the gov
ernor's acts in the executive office were
heard on every side. 1t was a proceed
ing similar to what was often witnessed
in theaters a generation ago when some
particularly bad actor essayed to play
Hamlet or some other Shakespearean
character. Only the flying cabbages
We're absent.
Mingled with the Kisses was a chorus
of guying remarks and questions, which
served to increase the tumult. One
man found a cause of quarrel in the
claim he set forth that the governor
since his election had been hostile to
the Irish element in the state.

After driving the Spanish fleet at Santiago

just how long Santiago de Cuba can

The country about the city is unproduct-

no cOmmunica ton between the city and
its envronS. The railway service is not
carried to a distance much beyond ten
miles from the town.
Since Cervera's squadron was bottled
up by the flying squadron under Commo-

auxiliary cruiser St Paul captured about
1900 tons of coal consigned to the port.
1t is believed that only a short time will
be needed to bring Santiago to starva-

One important fact was learned from

this part of the province of Santiago de

A Large Portion of the Army
at Chickamauga
rs About to Move Toward the
Gulf Coast.
REGIMENT NOW READY
Many Thousands Are Prepar.
ed For Service.
Recruiting May Be Finished at
Tampa.

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, June 10
Again rumors are flying thick and fast
that a large portion of the volunteer
army here is to be transferred to Tam
pa, or some other point near the scene
of action. The rumorS are neither de-
MED nor confirmed at headquarters,
and it is practically impossible to as
certain whether or not they are based
on fact. Railroad men state positively
that they have been instructed to hold
enough cars to remove several thous
and men, but this may have been de-
cided upon by the army officials to meet
possible emergency orders.
The regiments which are thoroughly
equipped and ready to move are the
Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth and Fourteenth
New York, First Pennsylvania, Eighth
Massachusetts. Fourth and Sixteenth
Pennsylvania, First Ohio cavalry and
Grigsby's Rough Riders. These COM
mandS are not recruited up to full
strength, but the recruiting work could
be finished at Tampa. Lieut.. Col.
Richards, who has been chief aide on
Gen. Brooke's staff for some time has
been assigned permanently as assistant
adjutant general on the staff of Gen.
James H. Wilson, who is to command
the Sixth corps when organized. Col.
Richards succeeds Lieut.. Col. w. E.
Wilder who takes command of the
Fourteenth New York.
There are now about a score of pa
tients in the new Letter hospital and
more are being sent in hourly. The
hospital is complete in every way.
The new pOstoffice at LyttIe, a rough
but commodious building is being
rushed through, and will probably be
complete by tomorrow night. 1t is es-
timated that $4,000 letters besides
thousands of packages are handled
daily by the Lyttle office. Thirteen
men now work from 6 a. m, to II D. M
distributing mail and the force will
again be increased next week.
Rations, supplies and equipments
continue to pour in. Nearly all the
volunteers are now uniformed and the
work of equipping them goes steadily
on. There is now no complaint about
rations. all the men seeming satisfied.

FORGER TURNER MARRIEs.
Although Sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary He Fears Not Matrimonial
RESPONSIBILITIES

The latest freak of r. B. Turner,who
was once sent to the Kansas peniten-
tiary from Topeka for forgery was to
be married in Jail at Kansas City.
A Kansas City paper tells the fol-
lowing story of the marriage:
With a sentence of five years in the
penitentiary for forgery already hang
ing over his head, r. B. Turner, who
has gained notoriety as the sleekest
prisoner in the county Jail, was married
on the top floor of the Jail to Lillian J.
Bailey, better known as Hooker, by
Justice Withrow yesterday noon. The
marriage took place while a jury was
deciding on a second count of forgery
against Turner which had been on
trial all forenoon, and less than three
hours after the ceremony was over the
jury returned a verdict of guilty and
a second five years were added to
Turner's sentence in the penitentiary.
Turner took his conviction with the
same air of GOODNESS which character
lied him on his trial last Monday, when
he was found guilty on the first count
When the jury had been dismissed he
desired Judge Shackleford to hasten
the trial for the remaining counts
against him.
Il am contemplating a wedding trip
he said to the judge with an air of bra
vado, and L want to get through with
this thing soon as possible
The marriage license for the marriage
of the forger and the Bailey woman
was taken out early yesterday morn
ing by Lawyer Harry Strohm, who was
a witness to the ceremony. Turner,
who has already defended himself on
his two previous trials. says that he
will continue to do so in the trial of the
three remaining counts against him. In
his trial yesterday he raised a clever
point of law, claiming that as Judge
Shackleford had been appointed as a
special judge to try him only on one
case, he could not try him on any 9TH
ers unless reappointed. Judge Wofford
was called for and took the bench and
said that his illness would prevent him
from holding court any more this week
He appointed Judge Shackleford in his
place.

NEW POLICE RULES.
Fort SCOTS Finest" Must Not Beg
Cigars or Drink.

Fort Scott, June 10.-The patrolmen
of the police department are now work
ing under very strict rules which were
adopted by the commissioners when
they took their seats. A reporter ap-
preached a patrolman last evening and
after asking him if there was anything
on tapis and receiving the reply that
there wasn't a thing, suggested a quiet
chat on the curbstOne. The patrolman
stood still for a second or two staring
the reporter in the face and then said
You reporters are evidently ignorant
of the ironcIad rules that we are now
working UNDER
''I guess we are" answered the re-
porter, I'VE are ignorant of everything
else that transpires in the police de-
partment."
Afterwards it was learned that the
policemen are not allowed to sit down
while on duty, or to bum cigars at
any time, and even the thought of tax
ing quiet nip at a bottle proffered by
a ..friend' would cost them their Jobs.

Despondent.

Ga1ena, June 10.-Mrs. Stella Riddle,
who lives in Peach Orchard, tried to
kill herself yesterday afternoon about
2 o'clock by the aid of a 3S-calibre bull
dog revolver. Her husband Charley,
dier boy now, being at Chickamauga,
and her lover, Harve Holman, is in the

Holman and Stella served a sentence

She was alone in her one-room home

COST OF ELEPHANTS.

It is somewhat interesting to com pare the weights carried by elephants in the tin producing districts of the Malay peninsula with those used in the long journeys and mountainous coun- try of the Lao States. In the peninsula the distances are seldom more than at most three or four days march, and the elephant is expected to carry as much as 900 or 1000 pounds, besides his mahout and howda. The latter is often mere brace of panniers, slung together so as to rest one on each side of the backbone, and covered some times with light barrel roof of bark. A good tusker carrying nine and half hundred-Weight will fetch about e56 and female which can bear eight hundredweight is worth about G45. In the Lao States, where journeys of ten days or three weeks are frequent, the average weight hardly exceeds 300 pounds, or one-third of what is usual in the peninsula. The price in various parts of the country vary considerably When we were on the Me Kawng and in Muang Nau, in 1893, good tusker could be had for 932 and a female for 924; at Chieng Mai where good teak hauling elephants are in great demand a tusker may fetch s150 and female anything from 950 to e10O, according to her strength and ability
 In the Siamese Malay States there are probably about thousand domes- ticated elephants all told, and in the Lao country probably over two thou sand animals are working at the pres ent moment. That these animals breed in captivity in Siam is due to the fact that large number of them spend the greater part of their time holiday mak- ing in the jungle. When there is no work for his beast, the mahout takes him out to nice, cool, green bit of for est and leaves him there to enjoy him self. There is no expense connected with his keep, for he looks after him. self. He has a hobble of rattan around his feet to dissuade him from wander ing too far and wooden bell around his neck, by the tone of which the ma- bout or his little boy can always find him, when they go out once a month to look him up and give him some bananas.-From the Geographical Journal.
