RESHApED AN IDIOTS HEAD
Bellevue Surgeons Remove Paris of
 ChiEd'S Skull.

New York, June 11.-Prof, Woolsey, assisted by Drs Christian, Wilson and Mutt, reshaped the skull Of an idiot child at Bellevue yesterday in the hope that it will develop intelligence. Half a hundred medical men who wit messed the operation believe the result sought for will be obtained.
 The subject was Leo Freedman, 8 years old, whose parents live at 416 West Fifty-third street On April 2S the child was brought to Bellevue by it's mother, who told the hospital doe tors that it had never shown any signs of intelligence The doctors have been dieting the child, preparing it for the operation. They concluded that the brain of the child was too large for the skull and that parts of the skull should be removed to ease the brain.
 Yesterday Prof Woolsey made an incision in the scalp at the base of the skull and peeled the scalp as far as the forehead. Two pieces of the skull were cut out, one on the right side behind the ear being triangular in shape, each side of the triangle measuring three inches. A smaller piece of the skull on the left side was removed This measured 134 inches along each side of the triangle. From each opening the doctors removed sub stances which seemed to have pressed against the brain, and then they pro- ceeded tc build up the openings in the skull, using strips of ee,luloid and making of 1t a lattice work resembling the caning used in chair seats. When this work was done the scalp was sewed back in place, and the child was removed from the operating table to a- cot. The doctors said last night that it was getting along nicely.
 This is the first time celIuiofd has been used in an operation of this kind, said the doctor. T have heard of cases where thin gold was useld in the building up process. but it broke at times. The celIulcid will be more

 cenf Purchase by Germany.

Washington, June H. With refer

 Spanish islands in the east by Ger
 many, Dr. White, a representative of
 the North German Gazette, made the following statement today,
 Nothing could illustrate better the great improvement if not to say the entente cordiale, brought about of late iii the relations between the United States and Germany than the general spirit Of good will with which the news cf the cession of the Carolines and Ladrones by Spain to Germany has been received throughout this country. It is noted with sincere sat isfaCtion that with the exception of few grumbling ma1cont3nts it is ad- mitted on all sideG that this alcquisi- tion of territory by, Germany. far from creating any flictfen of feeling or un- pleesantness between the powers most concerned in the transaction, will, on the contrary, prove itself a valuable tions closer together.
 'The commercial importance of the islands which in the meanwhile has doubtless considerably increased was already fully recognized by Prince Bis marck, who, under date of Varzin, Au- gust 31, 1885, sent the following offi~ cial communication to Count zu SoIons, then imperial German minister at Madrid: Under the assumption that these groups of islands are with> out adequate control, there exist on them since a long time great num- Der of German trading companies. The German settlers on the Caroline is lands having by means of industrial work, Of considerable sacrifices of money and not without danger for their personal safety, opened these islands to the traffic with the outer world have repeatedly requested the imperial government to place these islands under the protection of the empire.

those territories, besides the chiefly German, only some English interests were represented
 Mere fortunate than Prince Bis marck the present German \minister for for aign affairs, Baron Von Buelow. has succeeded in bringing about a peaceful solution of the Caroline\ques~ tion, equally satisfactory not orEy to Spain and Germany, but also to the American and British nations. That this view prevails, indeed, also in England, is proved by the cab,egrams of yesterday, according to which the new arrangement is generally ap~ proved thera, it being believed. to use the words of a cai5legram, that the entente between America and Eng land had been widened out so as to in clude Germany in the Anglc-SaxOn league of good feeling and helpful co- operation As to this latter statement 1t may be truly said that the most en- frightened political minds in Germany will be delighted to join a pan-Teu- tonic movement embracing thst three great TeutCnic nations.

9 BADLY FUNNEL
An Iowa Family Destroyed
 by a Tornado.
The Members Had Emerged Too Soon From Refuge In inc CeIiar-WiId Reports of Other Devastation by inc Storm.

Minneapolis, Minn., June IA special to the Tribune from Sioux City, Ia.. says: A tornado at 5:3O this af- terno0n struck two miles southeast of the little town of Satix, sixteen miles from here, and killed three people out right and one mere will die.
 The dead are: John Malloy, farmer; Ms Mal,oy, his wife; Harry Malloy, their 16-year-old son. Miss Bessie Malloy, an 1S-year-old daughter, had her skull fractured and it is expected that she will die.
 So far as can be learned at this hour no one else was killed or injured The family was at supper when a funnel shaped cloud was first seen and Dick Aallcy told his parents to go to the cellar. Ee ran to the home of Mrs. Ezassel, a widow, across the road, to warn her and her seven children. He took them to the cellar and the house was whirled away, injumng no one. He had to hold enc boy by the legs as he was being drawn up by the suction of the wind. But the Ma,Ioy family across the road cnly remained in the cellar about five minutes and the father suggested that the cloud was only rain. They came up and in an in stant the house was demolished. The dead and injured members were seat tered among the ruins.
 The conductor of a freight train saw the cloud and stopped his train before 1t got in the storm. ard when he reached town he held his train long long enough to bring in the injured to a hospital at Sioux City. Wild re- E3rts are af1oat of damage in Wood bury county, but they cannot be veri-. fled.
