WHAT Is ITe

Considerable interest is being taken in the
controversy which has arisen between Sur
eeon General Sternberg of the army and
doctors Of the marine hospital service over
the yellow fever bacillus of SauarelH Two
Of the yellow fever experts of the marine
hospital service have declared that the
bacillus is the true yellow fever bacillus.
On the other hand DR.. Sternberg, who, by
the way, has the reputation of being one
of the best bacteriologists in the country
says that the bacillus which Sanarem has
discovered, and about which there has
been so much said in the newspapers, is
nothing more than the bacillus of the hog
cholera.
II would be interesting to know which
of these eminent authorities is right.
There is no doubt about the sincerity of
each, but both cannot be right. one or
the other is wrong, and it is important that
it be known which is wrong. The
marine hospital experts say that they have
experimental on hogs with the Sanarelli
bacilus-they have fed it 10 them and in
iected it into their intestines, and it didn't
produce in them either yellow fever or
hog cholera Apparently ttey think the
result of their experiments is a sufficient
| answer to DR.. Sternberg. They admit,
however, that there is a resemblance be
tween the Sanareni bacillus and the hog
cholera bacilius-a resemblance that is
likely to deceive any one who isn't on his
guard DR.. Sternberg, it seems, isn't sat
ished that he is mistaken On the contra

serum tried on some OF the yellow fever
patients in the Soldiers Home at Hamp-
ton? 1t is true that there was a sugges-
ton that the sickness which prevailed
there was not yellow fever. The sudden
disappearance of the disease at the Home
was rather remarkable, and was calculated
to cause remark, but there ,an hardly be
doubt that it was genuine yellow fever
The post-mortem examinations showed
that. But why wasn't the Sanarelli serum
cried? DR.. Doty sent a physician to Vera
Cruz to make experiments with the serum.
Why was it necessary to go so far from
home when an opportunity to experiment
with it presented itself close at hand? Was
it because but little confidence was placed
in the serum? The marine hospital service
had charge of the Home during the prev
alence of the fever there, ana as two Of
its experts have declared that the Sanaroln
bacillus is the real yellow fever bacillus it
would seem as if the physicians of that
service would have given sanaleilfs serum
a trial.

sCHUHMAN's HOPEFUL VIEW.


If Prof. Schurman, the president Of the
Philippine peace commission, understands
the situation in the Philippines, there Is
no reason why Gen Merritt or any other
general should be sent to Manila to SUI
presede Cen OTIS. He thinks the rebel
lion is in its lash phase, and that il viii
wholly collapse before very long. He says
that hve-sIxths Of the inhabitants of the
islands are friendly TO the United States
and that the great majority of the edu-
Gated Fiipsnos are against independence
and in favor OF American rule. The edu-
Gated Flipiuos V no are leading the revolt
are Influenced largely by the knowledge
that if the war were TO come to end sud
denly they would be without an occupa-
ton. Some of them think that under Fiji
Pine RUE there would be many opportuni-
ties for them to become rich. AS govern
ors of the various islands and provinces
the opportunities for plundering the PEG
pie would he very great, and being famil-
iar with the methods that were employed
by the Spanish officials 10 enrich them
selves the opportunities would be i'm
proved to the utmost.
Prof. Schurman confirms the statement
SO frequently made that only the Taga,os
are hostile to the United States and they
comprise only part Of the population of
the island OF Luzon They have. however,
bulldozed portions of other tribes of the
island into taking a position against the
United States, But these other tribes
win make the most of the first opportunity
10 repudiate the rule of the Tagalos.
The real cause of the rebellion, Prof
Sehurman says, is the hostility TO four
religious orders of the Catholic church
orders which have got possession of i'm
mense tracts of the best land and which
have dealt with the native people in the
most oppressive manner, Spain protected
these religious orders and the Tagalos un-
derstand that the United States will pro
tect them. The war with the United
States is therefore only a continuation Of
the war that was inaugurated against
Spain. 1t must not be understood that the
Filpinos are hostile to the Catholic
church They claim to be very good Cath
olics, and to be ready to defend that re-
lgion. They are against certain abuses
of very calling nature which have grown
up in the church in the Philippines.
The impression, from what Prof. Schur-
man says, is that if these abuses were re-
moved the rebellion would come to an end
quickly 1t would seem as if the promise
10 correct them would be made by our
government Immediately. But is it in a
position to make such a promise? The
Fiiipinos regard the United States as the
protector of the Catholic Church
in the Philippines and it seems
that under the treaty of Paris
1t is to a certain extent. There ought 20
be a way. however, TO reform whatever
abuses there may be. If what the Filipl-
nos are cOntending for is right. our gov
eTument ought 10 find a way to remove
the things of which they complain-to
make the reforms which would result in
Deace.

FINER TOBACCO WANTED.

A tariff duty of $l.S5 per pound on wrap
per and $1.35 per pound on filler leaf To-
bacco has served to raise the price of
American grown cigar tobacco but very
slightly. Why2 For the reason that we
do not produce anything that can compete
with the foreign grown wrappers and fill
ers. Sumatra wrappers are worth $3.50 10
50 a pound, while the average American
wrapper sells for a great deal less. The
foreign article is better in color quality of
texture, flavor and aroma. And this APP
plies to the Cuba product, as well as to
that of Sumatra.
But why cannot the United States pro-
duce a grade of tobacco that is equally as
good as that of Sumatra and Cuba? That
is question which the federal department
of agriculture is industriously working up
on, and 1t is one in which Florida is very
much interested. The department experts
have made examinations of soils, temper
atures, etc. They find that the light,
sandy soil of Sumatra, the Vuelta Abajo
district OF Cuba and the tobacco lands of
Florida are similar in their physical prop
in the meteorological data of these places
which would seem to explain the difference
in the character of the leaf produced. Why,
then, is not the American leaf as good as
the foreign? Florida produces the best
American cigar tobacco, still il is not so
good as the imported. The department at
Washington is going to find out if it can
] rhaa 80 ND
how TO supply the want.
The amount of nicotine in the leaf, it has
been ascertained, depends largely upon The
character and quantity of fertilizers used
| Excessive heterogeneous mauures tend to
| produce large and coarse leaf, containing
| an increased amount of nicotine But
| flavor and aroma-two points of especial
! value in cigar tobaccos-are believed to
depend only incidentally on the fertiliza-
ton. but mainly on the fermentation. Fer
mentation changes, of course, are to a
! greater or less extent dependent upon the
! quality of the leaf which has been properly
cured.
Some experts have held that flavor and
aroma are the products of bacteria. Or
Loew of the department does not believe
this TO be true. He thinks they arise from
an oXydizing engine. ana to prove or dis
prove his theory he has conducted extern
siVe experiments, which he says show that
he is right But his experiments are not
yet ended An engine, it may be stated
is an unorganizod or Uniformed ferment in
distinction from an organized ferment
Pepsin and rennet are good examples of
engine. Or. Loew has discovered that
there exists on the Florida leaf two kinds
of oxydizing engines. distinguished as
tobacco peroxidase." These he says
make the Florida leaf the best in this
country, and the nearest approach to the
| Cuba and Sumatra articles yet produced on
American soil He hopes that his invest.
cations will lead to the production in Flor
ida and Connecticut Of cigar tobacco that
viii be as fine and fragrant as anything
| imported.

Ohio First Again.

A correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer writes as follows:
Ohio is the only state of the United
States in which the entire alphabet IS
represented by the initial letter of its
cities We have: Akron, Bedford, Cleve-
land, Dayton, Elyria, Fremont Gallon,
Hamilton, Irouton, Jackson, Kenton,
Lima, Mansfield, Niles. Ottawa. Piqua,
Quaker City, Ravenna, Steu6envile To-
ledo, Urbana, Vickery, Warren, Xenia
Youngstown and GAINESVILLE Each letter
of the alphabet appears at least once in
the Tst OF cities. Not a single other state
of the union can boast of this sngularity.
New York and Pennsylvania each come
quite close TO it, however. They manage
to monopolize the alphabet with the ex-
ception of the letter *" Cities begin
ming with an "X' are not very scarce.
There is Xena, Ky; Xena IN; Xenia,
Kan; Xenia, Mo-; Xenia, N. c.; Keno
phon, Tenn, Xerxes, Ga, and Xerxes
in Tennessee.
Ohio will continue to enjoy this singu-
larity until such time a New York or
Pennsylvania build an "TX'' city, or other
states name their cities in accordance.
