PROBABLE FATE OF CZAR'S UNI
VERSAL PEACE PROPOSITION.
GREAT IRRITATION IN PARIS
Emper rs Pr poSal Regarded as In
conSis ent with the Franco Rus
an Alliance-William AMI Mich
olas Exchange ViewS-CoSt of Eu-
ropes Armament for One Year.

London Aug. 81 The newspapers
here coatinue to devote a large
amount of space to comments upon
the cars peace note. Will differing
in regard TO the reasons actuatins the
appeal. they generally agree that the
outcome will be a conferences of pre-
m:erS, il not of the so ereignS them
selves, prosably at Cop 'nhagen, which
will be followed by AK expression OF
concurrenc in the humanitarian aims
of the czar and report Of resoluti ms
to their respective governments, when
the whole thing will be shelv>d IN
definitely.
The latest comments from Paris
show there is intens, irritation there
en- the subject. The ears proposal
is regarded As unfriendly and in
cons stent with the Franc 1-Russian
alliance. Curiously enough, in sup
port of this view, Tuesdays Official
Hamburger corresp 0dent publishei q
telegram from St Petersburg 9 n
tirming the report that Emperor Will
liam ami the car exchanged views in
regard To the establishment OF last
ing sta of peace (which fully dem
onstrated the identity of the mon
archs wishes.
The Daily Graphic says that Sails
/ bury, in 1888, communicated to EN-
peror William memorandum show
ing the tremendous cost Of armed Eu-
rope. The emperor was s. much sur
prised that he privately intimatel his
intention to ask for congre S. The
German press ventilated the idea
with the result that so much a0imos.
ity was revealed on the part of
France that the kaiser abandoned the
project.
The St. Pc ersburg corr spondent
of the Times says "C1ult Mu avietf,
the Russian reign minister, declares
that the id of peaca conference
originated entir ly with Emperor
Mich las. There is much skepticsm
in diplomatic cir les as to any prac-
teal results from the conference, and
it is adm tied On all sides that the
circular came as the greatest sur
prise"
The Paris correspondent Of the
Times still ms sts that Faure and the
french min 'sters knew nothing be-
re land and that the ears pr
po3il h IS pluugel the entire official
word into terrible embarra ssment
and most tupefacti n. "Everyb ody,"
says De BlCwltz. "is asking with dis
may what II M ans. II is a sad
awaken NJ Tor France, and her paper
are making an immense eff r, t re.
strain their feelings il the face Of
what is regarded as Russian perfily."
The St. Petersburg corresponding of
tn Daily Mail says: The proposal
is victory r De White, the Rus ian
min ster Of finance, over Count Mura~
vieff, the former having warned EN-
peror Mich las tina if Muraveiff's
provocative policy toward England
continued, Russ W uld so become
bankrup. De White adyis d the dis
armament as peace policy to enable
him to carry cut his plans for a gold

Lack of Attention.
"Many patients not in the incurable
department have frequently COM
planned of gross and inhuman lack OF
atten ton and disregard OF the common
proprieties on the part of the assistant
physicians mentioned Many times
they would occupy but two or three
minutes In making their medical ex.
animation and inspection of a ward
con taining 40 patients. There have
been patients receiving no examine

a week or ten days after their arrival

others when prompt and careful atten-
ton should have been given them.
Scott's Letter Writing.
"In addition to the performance Of
my own duties and many that

the numerous inquiries of the friends
and relatives of patients. I have had
to consign hundreds of their letters to
the waste basket and re-write them
myself after personally informing
myself as to the condition of the
patients about whom inquiry was
made. learned that the stenographer
was in the habit of remodeling the
letters dictated to her by DR.. Scott for
the purpose of correcting their many
mistakes and incongruities, so gave
her positive instru ctions to transcribe
them exactly as they were dictated,

seemed to succumb,' after having been
kept on medicine for some time or
person having periodical fever every
afternoon or sadder still, having q
deep-seated melancholia more sys-
tematized than it has been at any
time since it has been there and then
you can form an adequate idea Of
the unfortunate position in which
have been placed and the difficulties
with which 1 have had to contend and
from which you have been unwilling to
relieve me. And while you are think
ing about it, think also of the many
people over this state who have friends
and dear ones who are victims to such
gross ignorance and incompetency, and
this in state which has provided so
generously for their care. AS leso
conditions promise to continue, feel
that can no longer be even indirectly
party to them. These are some Of
my many reasons for my resignati on.
