COMPLAINT OF w. T.. ELLIS.
The Greatest Indignity Seems to Have
Beem Il Search of His Person.

The attention of Ihe State Department
has not yet been officially called to the re-
ported complaint of W. E. Ellis constitu-
ent OF Senator McLaurin, of i'll treatment
at Constantinople. But as the burden of
the complaint, as reported in the news
papers, Is understood to be a search of his
person made by the Turkish authorities it
is not likely that Mr.. Ellis case will have
any standing. Ii is declared to be the un-
questionable right of any government to
search persons entering their ports upon
suspicion, and this right is freely exercised
at New York, San Francisco and other
American ports. In our case Ine search is
usually made to guard against smuggling,
while detentions are based upon the apDli-
cation OF the contract labor and irnmigra-
ton laws. In Turkey these detentions and
searches are usually for the purpose of
Identifying Would-bs revolutionists and pre-
venting the INTRODUCTION of Seditious litera-
ture. Hence Ii is inferred that Mr. Ellis
for some reason, had managed to fall under
the suspicion Of Turkish officials, who have
their spies in adjacent European countries,
but If the search in his case was decentIy
conducted he will have no ground for com

NEW CURE FOR MALARIA.
Prof. Koch the BacterfOlOgist Makes
Interesting Announcements.

TACOMA, Wash, October S.-Passengers
who arrived yesterday from the orient re-
port that Prof Robert Koch has arrived
at Hong Kong. The eminent bacteriologist
of the Berlin University has devoted a year
to scientific Investigations in the Dutch
West Indies and in the German colonies of
East Africa for the purpose of testing his
cure of malaria, which was only partially
successful in Germany before his departure
The scientist now announces TO the medical
world that his cure is positive and that
every malarial district can be absolutely
purged of the scourge.
During his stay on the Island Of Java
Prof Koch procured several gorillas in
fected with malaria, whom he gave hypo-
dermic injections of his virus, and in whose
food he mixed medicine which contains
about 30 per cent of qunine. The doses
were much larger than those intended for
human beings and the results were emf
nently satisfactory. DIR. Koch announces
that his medicine is both for curative and
preventive purposes. He also wants it
known that he has found way of ridding
countries of the maarial parasites the
mosquitoes.
On his arrival i'm Berlin he will present
his official report to the German govern
ment and Will recommend that measures
be taken at once To Introduce his met hod
of exterminating the parasites and his cure
for malaria, which, he claims, can be man
ufactured at once in all countries

Shipments of Money tn the South
Have Been Unusually Large.

The shipments of money TO the New Or
leans, St. Louis and Chicago subtreasuries
for the movement of the cotton crop con-
tinueS from the treasury. The shipments
for today were 100000. Saturday the total
shipments for this season amounted to
SO, 4io,00o against s,.425,o00 for the same
period last year, showing an increase to
nearly twice the former amount. OF the
total amount New Orleans had received
S6,3iu,gh. The treasury officials regard the
shipments showing an unusually pros
porous condition of affairs in the south Ii
is believed that the shortage in the present
cotton crop will result in millions of dollars
more being left in the south this year than
in many years before More money will be
spent for cotton than II the crop had gone
far beyond the number Of bales needed
Had this been the State-uf facts the price
of cotton would have been so much reduced

less than the figures given.

liery is working only about half the full
force and that il Will be closed down inside
of fOrty-eight hours. The organizers of the

SITUATION AT PANTHER CREEK.
Men There StiII Refuse to Quit
Work.

Special From n STAFF Correspondent.
HAZLETON. Pa, October s. - Adjoin-
ing this region is another section
of the anthracite coal field where the
miners up to today have refused to strike.
This is known as the Panther Creek dis
trtct. There are about 400 miners en-
ployed in the several collieries of the dis
trict, and they have refused to listen to
appeals heretofore from their Hazleton
brethren TO leave the mines.
Yesterday / made an expedition through
the Panther Creek region visiting all the
little mining boroughs between Mauch
Chunk and Tamaqua. distance of sew
cIai miles The miners have been receiving
better wages than their colleagues in
other sections. They are not oppressed by
the company stores. They buy their pow
Ger ~ cents a keg cheaper, and they pos
SeSS other advantages. The result is
shown in their material conditions. Their
DpUses are neat: the little towns well kept
Shey have good school houses. The men,
women and children were comfortably
dressed and there was a general air of
thrift about everything.
This very condition is cited by their less
fortunate brothers of HaZleton and else
where as proof that where the men receive
just treatment they can get along and be
content
II is claimed that it is their object to
make all the coal operators treat their
men as well as Panther Creek operators do.
Yesterday il was apparent that the eff
fCrts of the strikers To close down the
Panther Creek mines would be partially
successful. No pretense of local griev-
ance was made, but the strike was to be
one purely of sympathy and for the mural
effect upon the general welfare OF the big
strike.
There We're mutterings of discomfort
among the Hungarian miners at the pro-
posed strike. They do not belong to the
union in numbers and did not care to trou-
bic themselves with the grievances of 9th
ers. more especially they had been noti-
fled they would share the proposed gen
