Had Her stomach Removed.

San Francisco, Feb. 2s.-Dr. Charles
B. Brigham has added another testi-
mony to the progress of modern sur
gerry. At st, Luke's he made complete
excision of the stomach of female
patient suffering with cancer, and
thirty-six hours after the operation she
was resting comfortably, with almost
normal pulse and temperature. 1t
will be at least week, however, be-
fore there can be well grounded hopes
for her complete recovery.
The patient is 65 years old and for
the past three months has taken moth
ing but liquid food, and that in very
small quantities. DR.. Brigham, who
has been attending her, decided to
make an incision with a possible gas
troemy, or gastro-interostomy, but,
after finding twot thirds of the stomach
involved in the malignant growth, he
decided upon complete excision

Attempt to Assassinate King George.

Athens, Feb. 2S-An unsuccessful
attempt was made today to assassinate
King George of Greece. The king was
returning from Phalerum at o'clock
in the evening in landau, accompan-
led by the Princess Maria when two
men who were hidden in ditch along
side the road opened fire with guns on
the occupants of the carriage. The
first shot missed but the second hit a
footman in the arm. The coachman
whipped up his horses and the royal
party dashed away at gallop. The
miscreants fred seven more shots after
them, none of which took effect, and
the King and Princess returned to the
palace unhurt.
When the second shot was fred the
King arose and stood before his daugh-
ter to shiled her from the bullets.
One of the horses were slightly
wounded

THE DIsAGREEING HOUSES.

At late hour last night the report
was that the two houses of Congress were
as far away as ever from an agreement
as to the Intervention resolution. The
Senate was apparently determined to
stick to the recognition of the Cuban
republic, while the House appeared to be
just as firm that we should not be COM
mitted to the insurgent government in
advance Politics have evidently got Into
the question and the Democrats have
lined up on the recognition side, while
the Republicans, with few exceptions,
are on the other side The probabilities
are, of course, that sooner or later some
compromise will be patched up between
the two houses or that one will surrender
to the other. 1t is possible, however,
that the deadlock will continue indefinite
~ in which case Intervention in Cuba
will be postponed indefinitely.

If Spain enters upon privateering she is
likely very soon to get into trouble with
the powers. The men who command priva.
teers are apt to be reckless and not very
well acquainted with the dividing line
between what privateer can do legiti-
mately and acts that constitute piracy
1t will be little less than miraculous if
some of them do not soon overstep the
line and bring down upon them and the
nation which has granted them letters of
marque the heavy hand of some nation
of large commercial interests like Eng
land. Since the treaty of Paris priyateer-
ing has been looked upon by the Euro.
pean powers with extreme disfavor, and
only very slight transgression on the
part of the priyateersman will be neces-
sary in their eyes to consign him to the
category of pirate.

The influence of the Hon. William j.
Bryan is believed to be responsible for
five of the Democratic votes that were
given to the recognition of the Cuban
republic in the Senate, as five senators
who had previously declared against
recognition were found voting for it when
the roll was called on Saturday, and
these five senators had taken part In .
conference with Mr.. Bryan. In one way
this exercise of political influence by the
late Democratic candidate has done good,
since it solicited the Republicans against
recognition and secured it's defeat the
House.

The resolution originally adopted BY

eAS I1ouSe feaQs as IOlloWS:
Resolved, that the President is hereby
authorized and directed to intervene at
once to stop the war in Cuba to the end
and with the purpose of securing perna-
nent peace and order there and establish
ing by the free action of the people there
of stable and independent government
OF their own in the island of Cuba; and
re President is hereby authorized and
empowered to use the land and naval
forces of the United States to execute the
purpose OF this resolution.
1t will be seen that the most conspiou-
GUS differences between these resolutions
relate to the recognition of the Cuban
Republic which the Senate's resolution
contains and the Houses does not, and
the disolaiming of any purpose of annex
ing the island which the Senate's contains
ana the Houses does not There are
oeher differences, however. The Senate
resolution strikes directly at Spanish SOW
erelgnty, and alleges no humane purpose
for Intervention. The sole purpose which
Its language declars is to ss-
tablish the independence of Cuba. The
but humane purpose is also expressed.
since it is alleged that Intervention is to
be for stopping the war and restoring
peace, as well as for enabling the people
to establish an independent government
of their own. The Senate resolution more
explicitly enjoins upon the President the
use OF the army and navy than the House
resolution does, and theTspirit of the SEN
ate resolution is in general more aggres-
siye and belligerent than that OF the
House.
By eliminating the recognition clause
the House has removed the most objec-
tionable part of the Senate resolution,
but even with that eliminated it is
much less satisfactory than
that of the House, for the reason that it
does not set forth q purpose for interven-
ton which is clearly justifiable. Interven-
ton to stop the war and restore peace is
much more defensible than intervention
with the object, and the only object SO
far as the resolution declares. of putting
an end to Spanish sovereignty.

A STRAY ITEM OF NEWS.
Pic ked Up on Fore Street by Our Repre-

When newspapers had only the stage
coach and sailing vessels to depend upon
to gather news, when the telegraph, the
telephone, the steam engine, steamboat
and electric motor were not in existence
coffee houses and inns were regularly
thronged by loungers, and the public
generally, who exchanged scraps of news
brought to them by the post and who lis
tened to the news read aloud to them by
some habituc. The item which follows
was picked up by our representative while
strolling around the town, and although
the reader is not indebted to electricity

contains, 1t is just as interesting and de-
cldedly more reliable. Read this: Mr..

AS TO SERVICE OF
 THE NAVAL RESERVE.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-At pres ent it is not regarded by the navy off, cials as probable that the naval mili- tia of any of the middle Western States will soon be called into service. The indications now are that a Suffi- cient number of men can be secured from the militia of Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey to meet all re- uuirements Should hostilities break out, however, it is regarded as eX- tremely likely that the naval militia of both the middle Western and Southern States would be called upon to assist in manning auxiliary cruisers and coast defense vessels.
 Naval officials regard the naval mili- tia as most valuable adjunct to the navy proper, as it could be utilized not only to man the smaller vessels, but could be depended upon as a second line of defense. As Assistant Secretary Roosevelt points out, there are two very important features which could be attended to by this second line. One is the placing of mines, and the other the establishment of signal stations for coast defense.
 The militia of Massachusetts and New York has been given special in struction in torpedo practice and coast signaling and the service of such men will prove of great value. It has been suggested that the lfe-saving stations, being under Government con trol, should be fully equipped with ap- paratuS for signaling.

ROEBER GIVEN THE
 DECISION ON A FOUL
Thrown From the Stage While Sprinting Away From Yousouff,
 fho TIJrk

NEW YORK, March 26-Fffteen thou sand people crowded into Madison Square Garden tonight to witness the Graeco- Roman wrestling match between You souff the Turk, and Ernest Roeber, the worlds champion.
 At half-past g o'clock Yousouff got on the platform and had a rousing reception. A few minutes later Roeber climbed upon the stage His welcome was deafenfng. Yousouff was the favorite in the betting. Hugh Leonard was chosen referee. Bob Fitzsimmons held the watch for Roeber and Honest John'' Kelly for Yousouff.
 When the men stepped into the ring, IL was seen that the Turk was at least five inches taller than his adversary and fuIIv fifty pounds heavier. When time was called, both men stepped to the cen- fer of the mat, and Yousouff was the first to get his hands on. Roeber kept sprinting away from the big fellow, and finally took up a position near the edge of the platform. Yousouff reached and pushed his opponent clear off the stage.
 Martin Julian sprang upon the plat form and claimed the match for Roeber on a foul which Leonard allowed. Time, one minute and fifteen seconds
 One of Yousopff's friends then made the announcement that Yousouff desired to give the fall to Roeber and to go on again in an hour, also taking the losers end of the money, whether he won or not. At five minutes after 10, the announcer said that the sreferee had gone with two physicians to determine whether Roebei would be able to- continue and another

clusively and emphatically as possi- ble. This was also done.
 There is testimony, for instance, that the mooring of the Maine was changed not long before the expIo- sion. The reading of this testimony in Congress would, it is feared, leave Congress to infer that the Harbor Master, under instructions, anchored the Maine directly over a floating mine which blew up as soon as she drifted with the tide and struck 1t. Yet there is no direct testimony inn plicating the Harbor Master, nor anybody else.
 There is much other testimony of the same character from which infer ences might be drawn in time of great excitement which would seem untenable at the time it was given to the court. Yet all this was included in the report and goes with the find ings.
 It is just possible that this tenn porary withholding of testimony may have a bad effect on Con- gress, and cause even more restive- ness than is now shown in the two houses.
 The latest reports from the White House tonight are that the Presi- dent is more active than ever in searching for some means of avert ing war and pacifying Cuba without intervention. There is a slight note of criticism of the Presidents policy. It is said that he has no policy ex- cept to relieve the reconcentrados. He is now looking for some means of getting Spain to withdraw her troops from Cuba and relinquish all but nominal control over the island, and is also taking steps to get the insur- gents to accept such an arrangement. This brings the whole situation re- garding peaceful intervention back to where it was week ago. At that time everybody except the President agreed that there could be no such thing as peaceful intervention.
 From an army and navy stand point we are rushing ahead our preparations for war. So is Spain. The coming of her torpedo 'fotilla continues to excite the navy. It has made a tremendous impression on everybody. The advice of naval off, cers continues to be the interception of the fleet at sea, and it's destruction if it cannot be induced to go back to Spain.
 A note of alarm was sounded when 1t was learned that one of Spain torpedo boats stationed at Monte video had sailed, her destination be- ing unknown. The question was asked: "Has she gone to intercept the battleship Oregon and the gun boat Marietta, now on their way from the Pacific around Cape Hornp!
