That Herbert is dangerous foe is due to the
fact that he holds against the Emperor the same
arms as those which were possessed by his
father namely innumerablc documents chiefly
relating to the efforts OF the present Emperor
TO eliminate his moribund father from the sue
cession to the throne. and the publication Of

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.
Series Of Experiments In the Use of Serum
Prove Successful.

Series Of Experiments In the Use of Serum
Prove Successful.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-During the past
two years the department of agriculture
has conducted series of experiments in
the use of serum as a remedy for hogs
affected by cholera or swine plague
The experiments were conducted by DR..
D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, and the results were
eminently satisfactory, proving that the
dreaded disease can be successfully
treated easily and inexpensively. The
losses suffered by the farmers of the
United States annually from hog chol-
era aggregates an enormous sum. In
Iowa alone, during 1896, it is estimated
that the hog raisers lost through the
ravages of the disease $15,000,0 900.
Scores Of remedies have been tried, but
nothing even approximating q specific
for the disease has ever been discovered
until the department of agriculture be-
periments We're conducted in Page coun-
ty Iowa, the results showing a loss of
only 20 per cent of the affected droves
This year the experiments have been eN-
tensive and far-reaching. The bureau
treated 922 hogs. OF these, 10 died,
the number saved being 81 out of every
100. The loss was only 10 per cent.
The cholera serum is procured by
keeping apart for treatment an animal
"a horse or a cow-and injecting into
it's blood small amount OF the blood Of
the cholera diseased hog. This will
sicken the subject, but he will recover,
when another dose will be administered
and so on time after time until finally
his blood becomes so impregnated as to
render him cholera-proof. Then his
blood is let and the clot drawn off,
leaving the thin yellowish portion W hich
is the serum. This is used to inject
into the diseased hogs.

Important Decision In Lumber Case.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 2.-Judge
Thayer of the United States court Of
appeals, reversed the decision in favor
of the defendants rendered by the lower
court in the case of the government
against the Pine River Logging and
Improvement company, involving $751;
900 worth of lumber alleged to have
been wrongfully cut and removed from
Indian reservations. The decision set
ties some important questions for lum-
bermen. The principal contention is
in regard to the meaning of dead and
down" timber, which the court holds to
be moderately interpreted aud is not to
include live and healthy trees which
may happen to be growing in the midst
of timber that is dead or down. The
Iumbermen further contend that be-
cause a government representative knew
and approved the cutting, the govern
ment is stopped from such proceedings
and the lower court so held. Judge
Thayer finds that this position is not
Genable. The government representa-.
tive, he says, was derelict in his duty
and his acquiescence cannot bind the

SUGAR TRADE WAR IS ON.
New Doscher Plant Begins Its Output of
the Refined Article.


the Refined Article.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The Times says
the new Doscher sugar refinery begins
its actual output of refined sugar today.
Friends of the new enterprise insist that
through the use of modern apparatus
the Doscher plant will be able to turn
out product at an average of over one
eighth of cent per pound cheaper than
is possible in the old reineries. No re-
cent trade event has commanded the
Wall street attention which is given 10
today's start by the Messrs. Doscher
of their competition with the American
Refining company, in whose manage
ment for SO many years they were con-
spicuous. President Havemeyer of the
American Sugar Refining company is
quoted as saying to business acquaint-
ances that it is the Doscher, and not the
Arbuclzle, competition that he has rea-
son to consider, and from the same
quarter come rather violent predictions
of dreadful things which the company
proposed to infiict upon the rash Sc
ceders. One of the first collisions be-
tween the Doschers and the American
companies will be in the matter of con-
trolling the patronage of wholesale
grocers, Dominance in that quarter is
to be made the subject of the first test
OF the Doscher enterprise.

OF giving thanks to Almighty God for
all the blessings He has vouchsafed to

skies have been for time darkened by

PEELED to take up the sword in the cause
OF humanity, we are permitted to rejoice
that the conflict has been of brief durs.-
ton and the losses we have had to
mourn, though grievious and impor-
tant, have been so few, considering the
great results accomplished, as to inspire
US with gratitude and praise to the Lord
of hosts. We may laud and mag
Nifty His holy name that the cessation

LONDON, Nov 2.-The Daily Graphic
official source in Paris that Captain
Baratier bears instructions to Major
Marchand to return TO Fashoda and
then to withdraw his expedition in the
direction of the Upper Ubanghi river,
north of the Congo, evacuating Fashoda
and the five posts established by him
east of the frontier indicated in the An
glo-German agreement.
The Egyptian government will be in
vited TO send troops to accompany Ma
Jor Marchand as he retires from the
Rahr-el-G hazal territory and to reoc-
cupy the posts as they are evacuated by
the French officers, thus solving the
difficulty concerning Major Marchand's
revictualment.
When Major Marchand's retirement
is fully accomplished, negotiations based
on proposals submitted by Baron de
Courcel to Great Britain will be opened.
France is disposed to recognize frankly
that the reconquest of Omdurman COM
pletely changes the situation as it ex
listed when Major Marchand was in
structed to proceed to the Nile. The
French government will even state that,
had Major Marchand been aware Of the

Without going SO far Is the Daily

Graphic will be the one finally reached
and that, even should France sulk
automatically, no further serious con-
quences are anticipated.
Preparations Continue.
There is no noticeable cessation in
England's preparations, and the officials
are confident of the country's ability to
meet all emergencies. There were large
shipments of guns shells and war stores
to Malta and Gibraltar yesterday. The
dispatches from France announce equal
activity at Toulon, Brest, Marseilles and
elsewhere.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says: France is making
great preparations at Bizorta, about 30
miles northwest of Tunis. Guns and
ammunition arrive daily and men are
strengthening the forts, working day
and night. The object is said to be 10

Egypt in the event of hostilities with
Great Britain.
The war Office has issued semi.offi.

be ''unpatriOtic to publish specific de.
