TO CURE CONSUMPTION
Crotte Positive He Has Discovered the
 Proper Treatment

Columbus, O., June 7.-At today's session a sensational report was presented on the cure of consumption by Francisque Crotte, the eminent and well known chemist, of Paris, France. MT. Crotte has cured more than one thousand cases of consumption, and in support of his statement he has of- fered to treat and cure gratituitous 300 con sumptives from the different states in the union. He comes to America with the high est credentials from the most eminent phy- scians and the press in Europe, who verify the truth of his statements.
 The treatment is very scientific and con- sists of inhaltions of formal dehyde vapour, transported directly through the tissues by the aid of light tension static electricity. He is establishing a sanitarium at Pel1in, Illinois, and clinics at New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Much interest was mani fested in the report and many of the phy- sicians immediately took pains to interview Dr. Crotte more closely on his discovery. A number of eminent physicians expressed the opinion that an absolute cure for tuber- culosis had at last been found.
 The sectional meetings continued after the adjournment of the regular body and this evening the members of the association were entertained at the Chittenden.
 Surgeon General Sternberg did not make his address today, as was expected, but will speak tomorrow.

EMILE ZOLA
The Author Says His Fight is Not Yet
 Ended

London, June 1.-The St. James Gazette publishes an interview between it's Paris correspondent and Emile Zola, in the course of which M. Zola is represented as having said:
 q have entered the lists. I am glad iator! I am fighting a great fight which is by no means ended. I can not write any thing until the case is over, but then l intend to write a novel on the Dreyfus af- fair summing it all up and drawing from it additional conclusions which can not be clearly and convincingly stated yet.
 ''This is my duty. I don't intend to seek any financial advantage in performing 1t. I am perfectly safe here In Paris, for de- spite the nonsenscal statements of some ant-Dreyfusard newspapers it is impossi- able to arrest me. We shall see whether French jury will again condemn me for speaking the truth. I intend to appeal against the verdict of the Versailles court and then the whole matter will go before another jury.
 q don't think therc will be a complete solution before the end of the summer. The innocense of Dreyfus has been recog- nized, but there are certain guilty persons who must be punished If France is to re- cover her self-respect"

News Received in New York

 (Signed) AIDA REHAN."
 Mrs. Duff is Mrs Daly's mother. Mana ger Dorney was shocked at the news. He sent a telegram to MT. Daly's brothers, Hon. Joseph F. Daly, late justice of the supreme court. Justice Daly hurried to MT. Dorney's offices and held a long conference with him. There was nothing to do except to cable for full particulars. The theater had been closed Saturday and they de- cided that no announcement of plans should be made until MT. Daly's private papers were examined.

The last heard of him he was in Paris with Mrs. Daly and Miss Ada Rehan, and all were well and happy The news of his death was altogether un- expected and naturally much of shock

ADULTERATED BEER
Mason Will Recommend a National
 Pure Food Commission

Chicago, June 7.-When Senator Mason's pure food investigation committee makes it's recommendations to the United States senate regarding the establishment of Q national pure food committee, one of the suggestions will be in reference to the beer imported into this country At today's ses- sion of the committee, which is the last but one to be held here for the present at least, the testimony which was devoted princi- pally to the manufacture of beer and to whether or not the beverage as turned out by the breweries of the country Is in any way adulterated.
 The testimony which was given by rep resentatives of the leading breweTies of this city seemed to satisfy the committee, which was made up of Senator Mason alone, that the product of this country Is not adulterated and is on the whole as pure an article as can be found. It devel- oped, however, that the absence of laws regarding pure food and drink In this coun- try left an opening for other countries to ship their impure goods here to be placed on the market for consumption.
 The witnesses who testified today regard ing the manufacture of beer in the country were of the opinion that preservatives or antiseptics would be useless because of the thoroughness of the present methods of manufacture. Every drop of the liquor, whether of an inferior grade or not, they said. Is submitted during the process Of

LOOKS LIKE DISPUTE OVER ALASKA
 MAY YET BE AM|CABLY SETTLED
United States and England Now Understand Each Other, and t
 is Said Have Agreed to Satisfactory Negotiations,

least conclude their negotiations under the remaining subjects.
 The facts were the basis of the American contention that the Canadians had not af- forded real opportunity for arbitration and were responsible for the disruption of the joint commission.
 Points of Arbitration
 The points of the British arbitration pro- posal and also of the proposition put for ward by the Americans an amendment have already been indicated in the cable dispatches and the following points are given as those upon which importance is laid by the Americans:
 In putting forward their proposal the British side said: 'They therefore made the following as a basis to be proceeded upon in framing a treaty."
 The attitude of the Americans upon this Is set down as follows;
 ''The commissioners of the United States maintained that they accepted the pro- posals made the basis of adjustment, but desired an amendment in relation to of rule "C,' to make it conform to pres ent local conditions in Alaska
 The British objections to the American counter-proposal have also been published and the record on that point reads:
 Holding these views, the British conn misSioners are of the opinion that no use- full end will be served by further pressing at the present time of the negotiations and must refer the matter to their gov ernment."

The first map folder or circular respect
ing the Klondike gold strike of 1888 was
issued by the Northern Pacific Railway.
1t is more than coincidence that the
first map folder or pamphlet Of the Nome
mining district comes from the same
source. The present folder not only con-
tains good map of the Nome district but
is embellished with several cuts Of views
at Nome City and on the beach where the
method of mining is clearly shown. All
information obtainable regarding sailing
dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates. etc, Is given in this book and the
public cautioned to go to the agents of
the Northern Pacific Railway, who are
supplied with diagrams of the Alaska
steamers, and arrange in advance for
their accommodations, rather than to put
off this very important business until
they reach Puget Sound There is no
doubt but what there will be very con
siderable passenger business from the
Middle and Eastern states and very
heavy business from the Pacific Coast
states to the Nome district next spring.
