COL. SCHNEIDER Is DEAD.
Austrian Officer Who Fought Duel
With Capt. Cuignet.

VIENNA, October 20-Col. Schneider the
former Austrian military attache at Paris,
whose name has been prominently con-
nected with the alleged treason of former
Capt. Dreyfus of the French army, and
who, it is generally understood, fought a
duel about October Is with Capt. Cuignet
of the French army, as a result of state
ments made by the captain at the Rennes
court-martial, is dead.
A dispatch from Paris, October 10. said
that representative of the Intransigeant
asserted that while seeing a friend off on
the Orient express the evening before he
observed Col. Schneider being carried to
the train, accompanied by physicians and
with blood flowing from a wound in his
side. The colonel is reported to have said
Il recently returned from Switzerland 20
fight duel with Capt. Cuignet on account
of his evidence regarding me before the
RenneS court martial
While testifying at the Dreyfus court
martial Capt Cuignet referred to a dis
patch of Col. Schneider denouncing as a
forgery letter said to have been written
as abiding to efforts made by the Italian
and German military attaches, Col.
Schwartzkoppen and Major Panizzardi, to
conceal their alleged relations with Drey-
fus.
Capt Cuignet ri6liculed this allegation of
forgery, and declared that If Col. Schnei-
der persisted in his attitude the French
general staff was in a position to prove
beyond dispute the authenticity of the let
ter which Col Schneider had repudiated.
The captain added:
The author of the letter is I know, of
a very inferior position as compared with
his friends Col Schwartzkoppen and Major
PanzzardD. Perhaps he cannot do other
wise than deny, but he must know that his
letter is not the only one of his communi-
cations now in our hands,

Opinions Expressed on the Presidents
Recent Western Trip.
MAY DISPEL AGUINALDO'S ILLUSION
If He Gets Correct Reports of the
Utterances Made.
GOOD RESULTS EXPECTED

The Presidents western trip and the en-
thusiasm for the Philippines policy of the
administration which he aroused among
the people continue to be topic of dis
cussion among officials and politicians In
official circles, particularly, it is felt that
his trip may produce at an early day re-
suits in the Philippines of a beneficial char
acter.
1t is thought that one effect of the Presi-
denis utterances may be to dispel the last
illusion in Aguinados mind, fostered by
the anti-expansionists, that further re-
sistance by the insurgents will avail them.
There is no doubt in the minds of officials
at Washington that the insurgents have
been encouraged in their Instruction by
the anti-expansionists, who have led them
to believe that by holding on little longer
the administration will be compelled to
grant them substantial concessions.
Misled by III-Advised Friends.
Neither is there any doubt that the in
surgent leaders have been misled by their
ill-advised friends in this country as to the
real magnitude of anti-expansion sent1-
ment in the United States.
1t is argued, therefore, that if Aguinaldo
is given correct reports of the President S
recent trip he will get another idea OF the
III.
declarations of the President of his deter
mination to put down the instruction at
all costs may be communicated to Agui-
naldo in way to convince him of its
earnestness. If at the same time the In
surgent leader can be apprised of the salts
faction with which these declarations We're
received by q large section of the inhabit-
ants of this country, the new idea may be
rammed home with additional packing
Definite Recommendations Expected.
In political circles it is thought the Pres
ident's observations upon his trip may in
duce him to make definite recommended
lions to Congress at the coming session
upon the handling of the Philippines. 1t is
believed the President is thoroughly con-
WINGED that the people are with him on the
general proposition that the United States
should hold the Philippines. There may be
wide differences of opinion as to how the
newly acquired territory should be held
and governed, and these questions will be
left to Congress, but the impression is
growing that the President is prepared to
make some specific recommendations upon
the subject.
Taken altogether, the officials and politi-
clans are well pleased with the trip, and
think that it has had good results for the
party.

BRYAN IGNORES SILVER
No Allusion to Pet Theory in His Ohio
Speeches
Second Days Registration Lighter
Than on Similar Day of
Last Year.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 20.-The re-
suit of the second days registration of vot-
ers indicates more apathy than the first
one. The number of voters registered is
considerably below the number registered
on the second day last year. This may be
explained by the fact that the evening was
rainy and the democrats did not put work
ers in the field to urge voters to come out
Their policy is to wait until the third and
fourth days for this work.
The republicans put out some effort and
the result is that the registration seems to
be heaviest in republican precincts. On the
whole, the interest shown in the election
promises the largest total vote ever cast at
a state election.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan did not, in his
speeches in Ohio yesterday, specifically re-
fer to the silver plank of the Chicago plat
form is being made use of by the republic
can papers to dampen the ardor of the
radical free silver advocates
Betting on the election result is just be-
ginning here, and it now indicates that in
the opinion of the sporting fraternity, the
chances are about even between Nash and
Mclean. The people who are betting
argue in this way: Two years ago, when
both Bushnell and Hanna were working to-
gether hard, they managed to carry the
state by only $4,000. The republicans had
as good an organization then they have
now and plenty of money. The democrats
had no money and almost no organization
Chapman, the candidate for governor.
would not put up dollar. Now the demo-
Gratis have plenty of money and what is
generally believed to be the best organiza-
ton they ever had in this state. With the
republican factions acting in opposition II
seems likely that the y. 200 plurality may
be wiped out, even though there is consid-
cradle opposition in the democratic party
to Mclean

From the Cincinnati Inquirer.

From the Cincinnati Inquirer.
A fragment of a curious volume has fail
en- into the hands of a local physician
which graphically describes the methods OF
surgery of several centuries ago. When
it is considered that anaesthetics were I'M
known in those ancient days. the modus
operandi of the surgeon of the sixteenth
century must appear startlingly cruel in
the light of the present day
The work Is that of Ambrose Parey,
who, in 1879, being then the much famous
"chirurgion" of his day, published bulky
volume which became such an established
authority and held it's place for so long
a time that seventy years afterward IL
was translat ted into English and published
In London.
In his first book he considers the gem
eral phenomenon of the body In health and
disease, and in the chapter relating 10
temperaments and humors he writes: IAN
humor is called by physicians what thing
soeVer Is liquid and flowing in the body OF
living creatures inclosed with blood" Pro-
ceeding to the manifold divisions of hui
mors," he separates them into four parts.
distinct, in color, taste, effects and quail
ties, namely, blood phlegm, choler and
melancholy. Exact in his subdivisions he
says: "All men ought to think that such
humors are won't to move at set hours OF
the day as by a certain peculiar motion
of tide Therefore, the blood flows from
the ninth hour of the night to the third
hour of the day: choler to the ninth hour
Of the day. Then melancholy the blood
flows from the ninth hour of the night is
under the dominion of phlegm.
Equally curious is the following on
spirits, which he divides into animal. "
Vital" and NATURAL"
"The animal spirit hath taken his seat In
the brain. II is called animal because Il Is
the life. but the chief and prime instru.
ment thereof Wherefore II hath a most
subtle and airy substance. This animal
spirit Is made and harbored IA the wind
ings aud fOldings OF the veins and arteries
OF the BRAN brought thither sometimes OF
the pure air, or sweet vapor drawn IN nv
the nose in breathing. The vital spirit Is

hath lts chief mansion IN the left ven
trlcle Of the heart. The natural spirit. n
such there bc any, hath ~ station IN the
liver and veins"
