priation of 81, 500, 900 for the building,
which the House by decisive vote had
refused to grant
Mr.. German, who had himself appointed
as one of the Senate conterees, knew, Of
course, that his pull in the Senate
guaranteed the acquiesence of that body in
ANYTHING which he would recommend.
Therefore. he was confident he could de-
pend upon it to stand by its own bill which
made the appropriation. He knew certain
members of the House, including one or
more on the confer ence committee, had
their hearts set on the passage Of public
buildin bills in which they were interest
ed. In that suave manner for which he
is noted. he conveyed to the House con-
ferees his distinct ultimatum that if the
Senate bill for the Baltimore custom house
was not put through the House, one or
more House bills would not be permitted
to 90 through the Senate
The particular House bill which was to
suffer was that designating the Mount
Vernon Square site for the public library
to be built in Washington with the funds
donated BY Mr. Andrew Carnegie There
was great anxiety for the fate of this BILL
and great pressure had been brought to
bear upon the House committee on pub
lie buildings in its favor. As Mount Yer
non Square is public property, the selection
of it for site involved no appropriation,
while the Senate bill, which was advocated
BY Mr.. German, provided for the purchase
of a site.
The House conferees found themselves,
therefore. face to face with the PROPOSE
tion-no new custom house for Baltimore,
no public library for Washington The
House. i, was definitely and positively set
tied. would not vote any money for site,
and it was feared Mr.. Carnegie would
withdraw his muui6cent offer il Congress
adjourned without taking action on it.
After wriggling aud squirming little the
House eonferees lay down at Mr.. Cor
mans feet and swallowed his bill

Mr.. McIutire is entitled to much praise
for the interest taken by him in the meas

ally to secure its adoption.
But Mr. McIntire had, after the action
of the House in providing only for the pur

obtaining any appropriation for the build

NEW REPORT ON MICROBES

cal inves, cations has been made by
DR.. Walter Hoffman. He says:
Honolulu, Dec. IS, 1899.
Hon. Fl. Il. Cooper, President Board
of Health: On the 10th of December
in the forenoon / inoculated a rat
from culture from the Chinaman who
died at Wing Wo Tai's. The animal
was alive sixteen hours later, but was
tame and evidently sick, and was found
dead twenty-four hours after inocula-
ton. On postmortem examination of
the body found the o-peritoneal
glands injected and very slightly en-
larged; the intestines hyperaemic, the
liver much congested and the spleen
firm with its capsule tense. Slides
made from the blood and spleen show
ed the same bacilli and microscopical
appearance, and cultures the same
manner of growth as those from which
the incubation had been made.
A guinea pig inoculated December
18th from the Juice of the body of the
South Sea Islander who was found dead
on the morning of the 18th. The post
mortem examination showed slight
injecuon. of the peritoneum. and a lit
tie Serious emulation In the peritoneal
cav,,y but no other abnormal appear
ance: especially no swelling or injec-
ton of the glands. Cultures made from
the peritoneal exudant did not show
bacilli resembling plague bacilli. The
rabbit inoculated December 18th with
the fluid taken from the glands of the
| first Chinaman is still alive and seems
| to be we'll.
In view of the facts that found the
| bodies OF two persons who have died
| suddenly after short sickness, having
the postmortem appearance of those
who have died OF plague, and that |
found in the buDo of one of these per-
sons bacilli very much resembling
plague bacilli, that on incubation with
| pure culture of this bacilli I produc-
ed the death Of susceptible animal.
and found again the same bacillus in
the organs of the dead animal, appears
to me to prove that we have had to do
In these cases with very infectious
disease. produced by virulent bacil-
lus, which seems to be the plague ba-
cillus.
That the guinea pig appears not to
have died Of plague seems to me to be
accounted for by the fact that the body
from which the incubation was made
was previous to postmortem soaked
with formalin and that the rabbit is
still alive and well may be accounted
for by the fact that the material used
for injection was used thirty-six hours
after the postmortem examination.
The same explanation will apply in
the case Of the first rat, which is still
alive.
