Cures for Grin.

A Frcnchman has established a newspa-
per designed to be limited in its circula.
ton to the suffers from rheumatism, it's
contributors being experts possessed Of In
fallible cures for It. There are indications
just now Of a disposition to fill "a long-felt
want in the establishment Of a periodical
for the use, exclusively, Of grip subjects.
The sovereign advantages Of cranberrles
as specific for the most aggravated case Of
grip has been pointed out In The Sun, and
an English correspondent has directed atten-
ton to the unapproached merits of CHINA
mon. Cranberries are easily obtained.
Cinnamon likewise can be procured at any
grocery store, and soda, a third professed
cure, is sold at drug stores and at other
stores as well.
At the outbreak Of the first grip epidemic
in New York city the advocates OF boiled
onion as a defensive and offensive protec-
ton against the complaint were positively
vehement in insisting that all other m
dies or alleged remedies should be rejected in
favor OF onions. The latest grip specialist
to come forward scouts the efficacy OF cram
berries, sneers at soda, rejects cinnamon
with contempt, and advises the free use
of sulphur, urging in support Of his treat
ment the fact that when n few years ago
grip occupied the city Of Chicago, it was
found that in a match factory, Of the forty
three persons employed there not one had
been touched. The sulphur man says that,
at various times, many persons at
Memphis, Tenn, escaped the prevalent
epidemic of yellow fever by wearing
powdered sulphur in their shoes. He
further cites the evidence OF a distin-
guished German medical writer that
wearing sulphur in this way has proved a
complete protection against cholera and
other plaques; also that those working the
sulphur mines of Sicily are immune to the
malaria which prevails all about them; also
that sulphur in the shoes has cured various
cases of rheumatism; also that sulphur
taken internally or worn in the shoes has
sufficient power to pass through the body,
the clothing and the pockctbook, blackening
the silver there.
Another argument for sulphur as n pre-
ventive comes from California, where it Is
said that when walnuts are prepared for
the market the shells are bleached by the
use OF birthstone fumes, and that the men
having charge Of that work are never
touched by grip, influenza or the other ills
which attack their fellow-laborers.
Meanwhile grip goes calmly on its way.

The language in which Gen. EAoAN as.
sailed Gen. MILES yesterday in testimony
before the commission Investigating the
conduct OF the war was violent beyond all
proprietles OF the service.
We assume, however, that Gen. EAdAN's
extraordinary denunciation was made de.
liberately for the purpose Of forcing an issue
Of which n court-martial would be the in.
evitable result. II such shall be the con.
sequence, Gen. EkaAN will not lave spoken
In vain.
So far, the charges Of Gen. MILES, with
regard to the meat furnished the troops by
the Subsistence Department, have not been
preferred by him in regular military form
according to military usage, but nave been
made in astonishing defiance Of both, and
such a court-martial as Gen. EAaAN has in
vited, or provoked, would lead to the full
and impartial investigation Of the whole
subject which is required for the honor Of
the army and the welfare of the country.

attendant vessels being divided between
them. On the same day the gunboat Prince.
ton left the Brooklyn yard for Manila, and
will be followed by the hospital ship Solace
In a few days. The gunboat Helena Is now
steaming TO the Philippines by way OF the
Suez Canal, and the same route will be
taken by the Castine, which has started
thither from tho Gulf. The auxiliary
cruiser Buffalo was long ago despatched by
The Mediterranean route to join Admiral
DEWEY, with men and supplies, and the
Yosemite, also an auxiliary cruiser, is to
follow her, taking out still more men. The
Yorktown has received orders to proceed
st once from San Francisco to DEwEY's COM
mand. and IL has been said that her sister
ship, the Bennington, now on survey duty
among the Ladrones, Is to be placed at his
disposal. There have been intimations that
The %gunboats Nachias and Marietta and
Tho auxiliary Gloucester might also be or
ilered to Manila.
But, even taking only those vessels which
ure on the way or under orders, it will be
seen that the achievements are %extraordi-
nary. The only offsets. we believe, are the
cruiser Raleigh and the cutter McCulloch,
which have been detached from our trans
Pacific fleet and sent home. The exchanges,
however, will put on the east coast OF Asia
by far the most effrctit 4 fleet we ever
assembled there, and one which, if all the
vessels enumerated reach their destination,
will make us easy regarding any European
power In those waters. For it must be re-
membered that the force which destroyed
MoNToJo's squadron has already been aug
mcnted by the monitors Monterey and
Monadnock and the cruiser Charleston, to
say nothing of the provision ship Culgoa,
from Sydney. which has been commissioned
as a United States vessel. DEWEY has also
half a dozen minor craft above his original
force, besides his repaired prizes, the Isla
de Cuba, Isla de Luzon and Don Juan de
The Administration has been wise and
in its measures for strengthen
ing Admiral DEwEY's command. 1t is sure
ly a great relief to know that he is there to
American interests Mt this juncture,
aud that he will soon nave SO numerous

Remarks to a Foreign Colleague.

Our esteemed though distant contem.
porary OF Cologne, the k6tnische Tolks.
setting, complains thus surprisingly OF
things in this country:
During the spauish.American war innumersble
proofs of III. will against the German Empire were
found in the North American lingo press. As q
notable example Of this attitude Tvs NEW YoRK suS
must be mentioned as standing in the front rank OF
the anti.Gsrman sentiment, striving on all
occasions to put IN an unfavorAble light the conduct
Of Admiral DfEDERtcHs at Manila"
II our contemporary had refrained from
commenting upon the feeling In America
until IL had found grounds for COM
plant as solid as those on which rest all
remarks made by THE Sun, IL would have
said other and very different things or It
would have remained silent.
Tho R6inische Volksseitung had in mind,
doubtless, the despatch from Manila printed
in II Sun OF last Aug. %, telling how one
nightthe German ship Irene entered Manila
harbor, wherein we had established the
rights Of a blockading enemy, refused to
recognize the signals made to her by our
patrol, and was stopped by the McCulloch;
how Admiral D%IEDERIcHs assumed an atti-
tude OF protest toward Admiral DEWEY so
hostile that that officer, in spite OF the
strain already laid upon his forces, was
compelled to call Admiral DIEDERIcHs's at
tention to the indisputable fact that per-
sistence in his conduct would be war on
the United States how thereupon the Ger
man commander actually solicited from
Capt. CHICHESTER, OF the British ship I'm
mortalite, assistance in bidding the Amer
lean Admiral defiance and how the Eng
lishman calmly showed to him that his
proposition was forbidden by international
law, and told him fatty that the British
Navy was at Manila in no such spirit. Hap
PLY no act OF war was done by Admiral
~D1EDER1CHs, but his will for it was not
lacking.
This is a recital of simple facts, for which
our contemporary will doubtless be able to
obtain evidence on its own side OF the water
from Admiral DIEDERIcHs himself. When
our contemporary looks over the situation
soberly, instead OF finding fault with the
American sentiment toward Germany, it
will rather feel amazed at our moderation.
Why the KUlnische Tokszeitung should
have revived this subject at this date we
do not know, but for the present we have
something before us OF more pressing in
terest. just now the country is occupied
a varied assortment OF domestic poll
ticians who from motives ranging from the
worst to the best are seeking, deliberately
or unconsciously, to defeat the treaty of
peace and to vindicate DIEDERICHs instead
OF DEWEY and CHICHESTER.

CANADIANS DEMAND FREE LUMBER.

but No Agreement Results.

but No Agreement Results.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The visiting lumber
men OF the United States aud Canada spent
nine hours in conference to-day on the lumber
tariff and parted without having come to any
agreement. The Canadians demanded free
entry OF their lumber to the United States and
suggested no compromise proposition what
ever. The Americans stated the conditions
OF their business. which they believe prohibit
their consent TO the Canadian proposition. and
awaited a suggestion OF a middle course. which
was not forthcoming. The discussion OF trade
conditions in the W countries was spirited
and at times acrimonious.
