KEErSIE'S oDD EPIDEMIC
Results of the Examination of Blood of
Children Afhctcd with Paraly ..

PoUGHKEEPSIE. Aug. S.-Dr. II. 7 Brooks.
OF the Port Syndicate Hospital. tonight sent to
Dir. Daniel VI. Shecdy. ofthis city. the following
report OF his examination OF blood drops from
children suffering from paralysis n this city:
THE microscopic examination OF the three
blood slides sent on Saturday failed to give
any positive results The specimens did show
occasional minute micro organism, to which,
however. cannot attach any geological sig
nificancc. becauselDft the small number OF specci-
mems and also because the latter may have
been contaminated from.skin or other source.
1T was also noted that the so-called hHmato-
blasts of liayem or blood plaques of Blzzozero
were somewhat increased above the normal.
which finding according to recent researches Is
said to be indicative OF dissolution OF red ee-
ments the number o. plaques being In direct
proportion to the degree OF dissolution. As
such a condition could also be present In any
state attended by reduction Of the red elements
by dissolution or augmentation III recent views
are corrected. would hesitate to attach any
great significance to this phenomenon.
Il believe that reliable data can De secured
in the cases under observation only by n large
series 81 complete blood examinations. and by
astrological and archaeological examination
Of the body tissues and fluids other than
blood"

10 REoRGANIzE THE RED CROSS
New Constitution Will Probably he Adopted
within a Few Weeks.

| wAsutTdToN. Aug r. - Tho reorganization
! Of tho American Red Cross Society. which has
| been under consideration since last winter.will
| IN all probability he consummated within the
next two or three weeks in this city. Miss Clara
Barton. the president Of the American orGani-
zation. Is now in New York attending 10 mat
tors concerning the organization. and che Is
expected to arrive at Washington some time
this week.
The new constitution OF the Rod Cross Soce-
ty as drafted. provides for a division Of the
United Staten into districts, each Of which will
come under the jurisdiction OF the officers Of
the district branch, which will in turn be gov
erned Wy the national body. the headquarters
OF which will be in Washington.
As soon as the organization is perfected work
will at once be undertaken 10 establish local
societies in all parts OF the country. the
churches to be used principally IA the entering
wedge
The work OF tho Society 10 Cuba. that OF
estal fishing homes fer the orphans Of those
killed in the Cuban revolution. s practically
completed. and the orr hans are now Tor the
most part. maintained by the muuIc paiites in
which they are situated. There still romans
much for the Red Cross to DO in the Philip
pines and In caring for the victims of hoods
and Dther extensive disasters occurring in this
cOuutry. who are too numerous for the local
authorities to attend to uuaidcd. The Organl-
cation is to very large extent ali emergency
body. and the field for its work in the United
States Is practically unlimited.
The need for more comprehensive organ
zation has been feft by the leaders Of the Red
Cross for a numhcrOf years. and the recent
war with Spain rmphas lied this strongly. The
work Of the society during the war was all
that could he desired in point OF efficiency and
scope. but the officers plainly saw that the
work could have been carried on with greater
ease with II better organization. In al! prob
ability there will be but few changes in the
constitution which has been drawn up as 1t
seems 10 meet with general approval
There seems to be 20 truth in tho report that
Miss Barton will retire from the presidency of
the ORGANIZATION.

wAsHINGToN. Aug. S-When Secretary I.,t
returns to Washington he will be confronted
with the controversy now going ON in the War
Department over the proposed change ia thu
regulations affecting the Inspector Generals
Department As now proposed Ivy the lnt,st
amendments. Gen. Miles is relieved Of all jur,-.
diction over the lnspector-henrral ) DoIart-
mcnt and 1t is placed entirely under the cUu-
trol Of the Secretary OF War. This change N.,,
made 10y Secretary Alger before his retirement
but in response to protests from the Office Z
the MAJOR General commanding. Assistant
Secretary Mckleiohn determined to insert IN
the order issued by Secretary Algrr tie
omitted phrase. giving Gen. Miles clru
authority with the Secretary OF War over 40
INSPECTOR Generals Department. Yesterday
Secretary hcklciohn said that this rht', 20
was under consideration. and at army hotI.
quarters it was said that undoubtedly ,iou,
Miles would he sustained. This morning
however. Secretary Meiklcl0hn gave out tho
latest proof uf the proposed regulations. and II
had failed to confer any authority on the MAJOR
General commanding. but specifically placed
the Inst ector Generals Department exclusive
ly underthe Secretary of War.
Not withstandinE the fact that Mr. Meikie-
john gave the assurance Last night that the or
der would not be published unit! Secretary
Roots return. it was learned today that the or
der. amended so as To exclude Gen. Niles IL
now being printed for distribution. This viii
not. however interfere with Con. Miles's pro-
test to Secretary Root when he returns to
Washington. 1t is pointed out by army officers
that ms the Major General Commanding is dl-
rcctly responsible for the discipline OF tho
army, he should have control Jointly with the
Secretary Of War over inspections Of thu SER
vie" that affect that discipline Tho Cxp'ana-
ton Of the War Department officials for exoud-
ing Gen. Miles is that 1t would DO incongruous
to give him authority over Inspectors General
unassigned and retain the opening paragraph
of tho regulations that says that the Inspector
Generals department is under the Secretary OF
War and that the nspcctor-General's Office is
a bureau Of the War Department.
1t is not improbable that another order. max
ing amendments to the order signed ly
Secretary Alger will be issued after
the return Of Secretary Root 1t is said that
while Mr.. Meiklejohn considers 1t proper to To-
tain the words land Major General Commands
ing" he does not believe that he can properly
insert them in an order already signed by SEQ
rotary AlGcr To make the change it will lie
necessary therefore to promulgate new order
and this will bring tho whole subject UP for
consideration.
