Although the Superior Courts have nominally
been open for some time they have done no
business In consequence OF there being no

lowed the English system OF employing solicit
tors and attorneys.
The question was settled to-day. The COL
lege OF solicitors has been abolished. and the
practice made to conform to the American
system wherever practicable Those actually
practicing on Jan. 81. the day the Spanish
courts were suspended. are admitted to the
new bar subject to examination by the courts.

STUDYING TROPICAL DIsEAsEa
Experts from Various Lands Sent Into
Hot Countries TO InvestiEate.


Never before was so much attention being
given az at present TO the study OF tropical dis
eases and their causes Al, countries that
have colonies In the equatorial regions are be-
ginning TO pay much attention to tropical
hygiene. The School OF Tropical Medicine
was organized some time ago In England. and
a despatch to Tue Sun announces that It's
first expedition will start this month for Sierra
Leone to study mnlarlal fever In the rainy sea-
son. when 1t is most prevalent and its enects
are most deadly. Other British agencies arc
already at work In Africa studying the mala-
dies from which Europeans suffer most and
seeking remedies for them.
A Belgian gentleman who preferred to be
nameless gave to Gen. Denny last spring
$4,000 to be devoted to the study OF diseases
on the Congo. some OF the most competent

pended They selected two men OF high repu-

The establishment OF the London school OF
Tropical Medicine was brought about by the
genGral sentiment in favor Of It among the
physici8ns OF the country. Many Britons re-
turn from hot countries In poor health and the
doctors say that in dealing with maladics OF
obscure origin and with symptoms lying out
side the range Of ordinary practice they have
been at a great disadvantage They need at

The lessons derived from experience. 1t is
