An X-RaY Machine in lola.

A reporter of the REGISTER in com.
had the pleasure of viewing the bones
of his arm last Saturday night. This
was accomplished through the kind.
ness of DIR. Cox, who has lately pur-
chased an X-ray machine. The
electric current is generated by an
ordinary friction generator, which
gives mighty fine spark, however.
To this was attached wires and n
tube somewhat resembling incandes-
cent electric light glare. The current
Is sent, through this tube and it sepa-
rates the Roentgen ray, which flashes
in the glass tube like an ordinary
light. A box which has peep holes
in it excludes ali other light from the
eye and the hand placed between the
box and the flashing ray allows the
light to penetrate the hand so as to
be visible. Peeping thus the bones of
the fingers and arm are distinctly
visible and the sight is novel one.
The doctor will use the machine in
his practice and lola is fortunate in
the presence of such a wonderful aid
to science. The N-Ray 10 already
accepted and used in surgery all over
the world and makes possible and
safe many otherwise dangerous
operations. The machine is won
der, and as stated before, lola is fortu
nate in having one here.

IN view of the now generally adj
mitted fact that it is going torequire
large army an indefinite period to
maintain order in the Philippines, it
would seem that the Government
should at once set about enlisting men
for that purpose. The volunteers who
are there now have done their duty
nobly, and nobody doubts their ability
and willingness to keep on doing their
duty indefinitely. But the fact re-
mains that they are civilians, not SOL
diers. They enlisted for a specific
purpose. That purpose has been ac-
complished and they now have a
right to ask that they be mustered out
and allowed to resume their usual av-
ocations. Let men be sent there to
take their places whose business is
soldering, and let it be done as soon
as practicable.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-06-27

he says that he will not direct Gage to
issue the proclamation until greater
number Is enrolled. as he wants a wide
margin to cover the falling down Of
weak men.
NO one can quite comprehend why
Burns entertains the notion that he
must have thirty days to prepare to go
to Washington. Previous departure
from the State has been made by the
colonel with much less time for prep
aratton. Surely thirty days time is
not required to prepare a speech. No
bond is required from a United States
Senator. so it is hard to explain why
the colonel wants thirty days for prep
aration.
The statement made by Burns that
Gage will call an extra session is not
the only indication that the session
will be called. A State Senator who
became somewhat indignant recently
because he did not get desired recogni-
tion in the distribution of water front
patronage wrote that an extra session
was impending ard that one of the sub
iects to be considered would probably
be the reorganization of the Harbor
Commission.
The attitude of IT, S Grants friends
is not to the liking of the Mexican.
Rumors come from the south that
Grant may yield to the persuasive i'm
portunity of his admiring supporters
and re-enter the race Burns is now
boasting that sixty-one Republican
legislators have agreed to go into
caucus. It is amusing to observe that
Herrin, after the experience of last
winter is not willing to take the Mexi-
cans judgment as to the caucus agree
ment. The railroad politicians were so
badly fooled at the regular session
that they advised Huntington in New
York that Burns could not be defeated.
Their confidence was so great and their
predictions so positive that Coils P.
Huntington as willy and wary as he is,
was deceived. Herrin is making his
own canvass this time His agents set
their instructions and their transporta-
ton from railroad headquarters and
make their returns to the railroad
office Huntington is an exacting
master. He wants to know in black
and white just how each member of the
Legislature stands on the proposition
of going into caucus on the Senatorship.
1t is Herrin's duty to give him the
straight tip hence the canvass of the
State under railroad management.
Under the new arrangement Governor
Gage is practically relieved of all work.
Dibble will doubtless draw up the
proclamation and submit it to Herrin.
The law department will then probably
call in some lawyer to look it over
carefully. and if the document is all
right it will be handed to Burns. When
Burns gets it he will take it to Sacra-
mento and tell Gage to sign it. Then
the vaults of the treasury will open to
the raiders

vein. and the orders of the day We're
moved, only two of them approving the
ministerial statement.
NJ Waldeck- Rousseau replied to the
various interpretations, explaining the
motives animating the formation of a
Cabinet of somewhat divergent views,
one of the main objects being to reunite
all Republicans. He added that the
Ministers had already assumed some
responsibility. but he thought the back
ing of the Chamber was necessary for
further steps and asked what Ministry
could for a moment tolerate acts seem
ing to create the belief that the army
desired to constitute K elf. the i'tdge o.
It's policy. He further expressed the
hope that it would not be necessary to
take more severe measures and said he
thought ii easy to demonstrate whence
came the attacks upon the courts.
Explaining the inclusion of the gen
eral. Marquis de Galifet. in the Cabinet
as Minister of War, he said it was be-
cause the general had so spontaneously
supported the constitution, and it was
thought the necessary punishment of
certain military men could be some
what relaxed if emanating from such a
trusted authority as General de Galifet.
In conclusion the Premier said: Our
task is heavy. Whatever course the
Chamber may pursue, ] have done all
my duty"
The speech of n. Waldeck Rousseau
was much interrupted The noise at
times was deafening and several mem
bers were called to order. At the open
ing of the session the extreme Leftists
shouted: viva la Commrue," and the
Socialists frequently interrupted the
proceedings, but NJ. Waldeck Rous
seaus statement was much applauded
by the Leftists and Centrists.

INSULTING EPITHETS
HURLED AT GALLlFET
The New Minister of War a Target
for Attack, but He Remains
TTrnooved

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1899. by James Cor
don Bennett
PARIS. June 26.-By majority Of
twenty six the Waldeck- Rousseau Min
istry won it's first battle to-day The
issue seemed doubtful more than once
during the afternoons sitting 1t was
made very plain that a great many
Deputies there had no particular affec-
ton for the new Cabinet They even
said so, and in very unmistakable Ian
guage.
Gentlemen who went into the
tribunes and others who remained upon
the floor of the house were never at a
loss for disagreeable things to say to
Waldeck- Rousseau with regard to the
Eiffel syndicate, and found plenty of
material for reaching M. de Lanessan
about Cabinet affairs, but when every
thing else failed, there was always
some insulting epithet that could be
hurled at General de Gallifet 1t was
a curious sight to see that handsome
soldier fronting a more bitter enemy
and a more withering fire of outrage
than he ever faced ION the battlefield
He was the point of attack of the op-
position and the center of observation
for everybody.
The new Minister of War might have
been cast in bronze for all the emo
ton he showed when the most hideous
insults ("asSaSSin" was the mildeSt)
were pouring down upon him like rain
in a tropical storm. Not a muscle of
his face moved. He sat motionleSs, with
crossed legs and folded arms listening
attentively, as though his adversaries
were paying him compliments.
The only sign of feeling he. exhibited
was little impatient drumming of his
sunburned fingers upon the lid of his
desk during M. Mirmans speech, but
General Gallifet quickly repressed even
this little sign of life, and from one end
of the session to the other he gave a
superb example of self-restraint under
outrage. To army chiefs who have
chafed under rather outspoken crjti-
cisms and comments on the part of the
press General de Gallifet was indeed
a man of moment. AS M. Mirman put
it. the people in their simple common
sense had already christened the Gov
ernment a Gallifet Ministry" and the
Minister of War certainly served as a
Turks head for the opposition.
