A Cure For the Morphine Habit.

Great interest has been aroused in
medical circles in Germany by the dis
covery by DR.. Otto Emmerich of Ba-
den-Baden of a specific against NOR
phia poisoning and that peculiar form
of disorder known in Germany as
'morphinismus."
The increasing use of morphia
among a considerable section Of society
has been lately exciting much atten-
ton, and medical men have been una
BILE to prescribe any efficient remedy.
It is claimed for DR.. Emmerich's dis
covery that it has proved infallible-in
the numerous cases in which 1t has
been applied. 1t is distilled vegetable
oil of intense acidity, two or three
drops of which are taken internally
daily. After cure, extending from
three to six weeks, patients acquire an
intense loathing for the use Of the
morphia needle.-Berlin Dispatch In
London Chronicle.

lance being over 1000 yards, and the
work resulted in an error Of only FIVE
eighths of an inch at the point where
junction was effected with the tunnel
driven by another firm of contractors.
In two of the sections bore holes were
put down into the tun mel for the pur-
pose of testing the lines, but generally
the lengths were driven through so ac-
curately that no recourse to bore holes

MANILA MAY REVOLT.
RumOrs of Native Uprising I'm the Philip

Rumors Of Native Uprising I'm the Philip
pine Capital-Meetings Broken Up.
Manila, (By Cable. A rumor In circula-
tion last week OF an outbreak In Manila
among the natives was seriously discussed
by some of the local papers, and attracted
more general attention than has usually
been the case with this sort OF thing.
Many Filipinos left their American em-
ployers with the apparent intention Of join
ing some such movement. Their action,
taken in connection with the arrest OF sew
eral natives for carrying concealed weapons
and the dispersion OF several suspicious
gatherings, gave color to the reports.
Officials have been active, but ore not In
clined to think an uprising will be attempt
ed They believe the Fllipinos lacking in
the necessary courage, especially In view OF
the fact that the natives feared to attempt
the demonstration at the time Of General
Lawton's funeral, although they had made
careful preparations and many Filipinos had
come to Manila for this express purpose.
A paper found among the captured effects
OF Gen. Pantaleop Garcia asserts that the
United States Congress has dohe nothing
for the FIllpinos and that, therefore, all Fill
ipinos who are working for Americans must
leave their employers Immediately or suffer
the penalty Of treason.
One report u that To Filipino junta Is en-
as9yoppg e ipeits ap QuthTssk IN order to
show the civil epBllhlsslon that the war Is
still being putsued
1t does not seem probable that the peace
proposals which Senior Busnoamino, at one
time q member OF the Filipino government,
has drawn up for submission to Agpinaldo
and the other Filipino leaders will have
much weight with the natives. Buencami-
nos reputation, gained In former wars, is
that Of man who hurries to get on the
winning side. He was in disfavor with the
Filiplnos even before the collapse Of their
government, owing to a widespread suspi-
cion of his loyalty to his colleagues.
Last week General Macarthur received a
large number of officials, Consuls, officers

This step is taken in view of the increasing

volve considerable decentralization. He
will give to his staff authority in matters OF
detail, and will devote himself largely to
questions OF policy.
