question of dumdum bullets was dis
cussed. Major John Aradagh Of the
British delegation declared that Great
Britain did not desire to use any projee-
tile inconsistent with the principles of

Raises an Issue.

Seattle, Wash, June 22.-Unted
States Judge Hartford to-day rendered
a decision which raises an issue with
the treasury department. He granted
writ of habeas corpus to T. 1ama-
sacka, a Japanese arrested by Immigra-
ton Inspector Walker on the charge of
being pauper and entering the United
States clandestinely. Judge Hanford
ruled that while the courts have no jul
risdiction to review the action of the
superintendent of immigration or the
inspectors acting under him in exclud-
ing immigrants upon their arrival. and
before they have been landed from the
vessel: after an immigrant has entered
the United States and actually set foot
upon its soil and attained his liberty,
he cannot be sent back except upon a

Old Time.
Denver, June 22.-Sam Thrall, represent
ing Champion Jim Jeffries, is in the city
making arrangements with Manager Otto
c. Floto of the Colorado Athletic club
for an exhibition by Jeffries before the
club June 80. Mr.. Thrall will go from
here to San Francisco, where he will ar
rive Monday night. Jeffries and party
will be in San Francisco July and will
b. received at a reception by the Olympic
club. On July 10 Jeffries will go to Los
Angeles, where he will remain a week.
He then goes East, and will sail for Lon
don July 81
Mr. Thrall says that the story that
Jeffries was examined by a physician in
New Haven, who pronounced him in bad
health. is unfounded. He says Jeffries
is willing to meet Mccoy in reasonable
time after his fight with Sharkey. Said
he:
"Jeffres will not. as other champions
have done, insist upon waiting a year or
two between fights, nor ask his oppo-
nents to get regulations by whipping 9TH
tr pugilists. He stands ready to defend
the championship against all corners, and
only asks a reasonable time in which to
get into proper condition.

palace this morning, where President
Loubet requested that he form a cab
net Immediately. The latter, it was
announced, had reported successful
progress and hoped to be able to COM
plete the cabinet this afternoon.
Still later this afternoon the an
nouncement was made that Senator
Waldeck Rousseau had completed the
formation of the cabinet. The senator
accompanied by cabinet ministers, pro-
ceeded to the Elysee palace at $40 p.
m. to present his colleagues to Presi-
dent Loubet. The new cabinet, as or
ganized. is as follows:
Senator Waldeck Rousseau, president
of the council of ministers and minister
of the interior.
M. Delcasse, minister of foreign af~
fairs.
Gen. Marquis de Gallefot, minister of
war.
M. De Lanessan, minister of marine.
NJ. Monis, minister of justice.
NJ. CaIlaux, minister of finance.
NJ. Millerand, minister of commerce.
NJ. Leagues, minister of public in
struction.
M. De Crais. minister of colonies.
NJ. Jean Dupuy, minister of agricul-
ture.
M. Pierre Daudin, minister of public
works.
The new cabinet is a strong com
bination and is wholly in favor of
Dreyfus, but since it contains extreme
men, as Marquis De Gallifot and M.
Millerand, it can hardly be expected to
have a long career.
Its opponents predict that the cab
met will fall next Monday, owing to
the incongruous combination of Mar
auis De Gallifot and NJ. Millerand.

THE TEXAS FLOOD.
Continued Reports of Suffering From
the Great Calamity.

AUSTIN, July 11.-Governor Sayres
and corps of assistants spent yesterday
working in behalf of flood sufferers up
and down the Brazos river bottoms. Re
ports from the stricken district are to the
effect that while the waters are rapidly
receding the condition of the flood suffer
ers is improving very little The govern
or received official reports from Nclasco,
the southcrnmost point, that everything
was in fairly good condition there, with
~ feet of water prevailing. He has re-
ceived telegram from the citizens of
Hcarne stating that they had fought
alone as long as they could and would
now have to ask public aid. that all the
property in that section had been laid
waste, they were starving and homeless
and needed money. food and clothing.
Their wants will he supplied at once.
County Judge Bell, at Bellvillc, wired
thats there were 1,200 sufferers in the
counties on Mills creek and 900 in the
creek bottom in absolute need. From
numerous other portions of the flooded
districts similar reports came pouring in.
Governor Sayres stated yesterday that
the effort on the part of some to belittle
the damage attendant upon this flood
was actuated by motives that he could
not understand, that during his long resi-
dence in Texas he had never seen Il
worse calamity befall its people, and that
from reports he had at his disposal he
was led to believe that the list of suffer
ing would be very large

eenth Meeting a Success.
LARGEST ATTENDANCE ON RECORD.
Thirty Thousand Persons simultn-

Closing Addresses by DR.. Chap

DETROIT, July 1.-THE eighteenth
international convention of Christian
Endcavor closed list night amid scenes
of impressive sOlcmnity attending the
uttcrancc Of "thc last word" by the pres
ident and secretary in each of the great
tents respectively, following responses
from each state and country represented
and last cXhortations from NJ. T.. Bishop
Vincent of Kansas and Evangelist Chap
man of New York.
The following statement as to at.
tendance, etc, was given out by Secre-
tary Bacr.
Without doubt the attendance at this
convention has very much exceeded that
of any other Christian Endcavor conven-
tion ever held in the matter of those
present at the various meetings. This
estimate takes into account the great
convention Mt Boston in 1895. That is to
say. out of the 2S,000 Endeavorers
registered, which is the estimate of the
reception committee and includes mem
bers, there have been more who attended
meetings than at any previous time. The
estimatco of attendance at meetings gives
total of 2DS,500. There were $4,000 En-
deavorcrs in attendance, including De-
troit delegates"
Thirty thousand persons Simultaneous
ly attended strictly Christian Endcavor
meetings. These figures do not include
the G6 noon cvangelistic meetings, which
had n total attendance of $4,000 and 100
profcsscd conversions.
Chairman w. III. Strong of the local
committee responded appropriately to
the compliments rendered before the two
mighty audiences and attributed the sue
cess of the convention chiefly to indivi-
dual faithfulness.

Nay LIVE A THOUSAND YEARS.
Another outlet For Curncgic's Sur
plus Millions.


JOLIET. Ills, July 11.-Dr. Romaine
j. Curtiss of this city, an eminent author
ity and writer on bucterioogy, who for
mcrly held the chair of this science in the
Chicago College of Physicians and Sur
geons, has written an open letter to An
drew Carnegie in which he states that
if the human being adapts his environ
mcnt to his life and the possibilities of
his organism he can live 900 years: that
the secret of long life is the destruction
of parasitism, and that the establishment
of an institution for the teaching of hy-
gene would require S50,000,OO0, but
would be the greatest investment made
for human welfare since tie birth of
Christianity.
Further, he invites Mr.. Carnegie to
supply the necessary money and so be-
come the worlds greatest bonefactor to
mankind. DIR. Curtiss writes in part;
"The average longevity is from % to
80 years, and the average death rate is
% per 1000. One pcr.on in 1,00O,000
lives to be 100 years old.
'It is n scientific truth that parasitism
is the cause of death. Therefore the alb
solute destruction of parasitism can in
crease the duration of life to 1000 years.
THE whole tendency ard custom of
the world is to shorten life. Lattelly
new energy of the most powerful proper
tions is Mt work to slide the scale of ne
reditary length of days n notch further to-
ward infancy. This is the custom of en-
ploying only young men and discharging
all hands at 80 years of age. This force
alone in 100 years from now will so
change mental powers that men will be
In their prime at 25 and unfit at 40."

The shots were promptly answered by

The Paris or the Rocks.

LONDON, July 10. - The salvagers
have moved the American line steamer
Paris astern for a distance of $50 yards
and have shifted the vessels position
slightly to the eastward. They hope to
be able to get the after stokehold fires
ahght. The Paris is now clear of the
rocks. The sea is smooth, but heavy
fog prevails. The intention of the sal
vagers was simply to slew the stern of
the liner so as to facilitate the opera
tons of the divers, but it was found that
she moved more freely than was expect
ed. Three salvage boats alone practi-
cally removed her from critical position
unaided. She still has n distinct list,
however, to the starboard and cannot be
assumed out of danger. The tugs are
