ARSENIC IN THE BEER.
Cause of n Mysterious Epidemic In
England Explained.

LONDON. Nov. 24.-Manchester has
been suffering from a mysterious cpl
demic since summer. There are now
over 1000 cascs, and there have been
many deaths. The number of deaths has
not been definitely known owing to a
wrong diagnosis, until the present week,
when the cause was medically estab-
lished.
The hospitals have been treating a
number Of outdoor and indoor patients.
All were beer drinkrs, though many
drank only a glass at each meal. The
doctors have been treating the disease
as peripheral neuritis. due to an excess
of alcohol, thinking that the war fever

mentation. the walk as of one with sore
feet. and the hands without strength to
grasp.
rigorous enquiry followed the upre-
cedented number OF deaths and the disease
was certified as alcoholic neuritis. A
diagnosis showed that similar cases were
due to arsenic poisoning. The beer of
local breweries was analysed and was
found to contain sufficient arsenic to
account for the symptoms. 1t is further
said there was poison in the sugar used
in brewing the commoner beers. This ar
ticle was manufactured by tine use of
commercial sulphuric acid. Several brew

HAVANA. Nov 24-At today's session
articles from lib to 131 in the report OF
the Committee on Rules were adopted and
officers of the convention elected. The
convention is now. therefore, legally con-
stituted. The final articles adopted toGay
dealt with the rules in regard to the dis
cussion of motions. AS adopted. the ,ules
allow two speeches on each side of any
motion. but further liberty of speech may
be prolonged by majority vote CT the
delegates present. Senores Rivera, Cis-
reros. and Villuendas offered a resolution
to this effect:
THAT in consideration of the many serv-
ices Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has rendered to
the Cuban cause and in view of the fact
that he has saved many Cubans from exile
and death, and, further, inasmuch as he
had been the commander OF that division
of the American forces which has given
the least offence to the Cuban people dur
ing the tedious military occupation OF the
island by American troops: therefore be 1t
Resolved, That this convention express
the sorrow which the Cuban people felt
when they saw the noble American Gen
eral Lee leave our shores. We express the
hope that his life may be prolonged, and
That he may enjoy much happiness.
Resolved, That this motion be spread
on the minutes of the convention, and
COPY sent to General Lee"
The motion was laid on the table with
out discussion. 1t will he taken up at
a later session of the convention.

the convention, receiving II votes against

Ruis Rivera and Senores Llorrente, Vices,

retaries. Senior Capote was Secretary OF
State under Major General Brooke's ad-
ministratian and was also Secretary OF
the revolutionary government. He was
also the candidate of the Republican party
of Havana and was backed by Gualberto
Gomez. Senior Tamayo was the candidate
of the Santiago delegates and was sup
ported by the National party Of Havana.
The election was by secret ballot. There
was great interest in the fight for the
presidency of the convention. although the
result was expected. The fight was more
enc of parties than of individuals.
Senior Capote's election is regarded Eere
as decided triumph for the Republican
element The Discussion" voices the feel
ing in Havana when it says the delegates
of the National party have not been able
to sway the convention as they expected
to. Senior Capote made a short sFeech

Confidential Agent Charged With
Being q Heavy DefnuIter.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-It developed
through the sale OF the Kerlin & Ryan
elevators, of Clinton county, to Joseph A.
Bridges, yesterday that Thomas ]. CHS
som, the buyers confidential agent. is a
heavy defaulter, and has fed the State
to avoid arrest.
Chissom was engaged in buying corn.
wheat, and other grain for the firm, and
when an accounting was made. it was
found that the amount which ought TO
have been in the elevators was some
where near 100000 bushels short. A
further investigation showed that the
firm had been paying for grain that was
never delivered. and that Chissom had
pocketed the money. Pending the in
vestigation, Chissom disappeared. and
Kerlin & Ryan made the fact public.
Mrs. Chissom says her husband specu
lated in margins on the Chicago Board
of Trade. but she does not know whether
he made or lost money. Nothing is known
of Chissom's whereabouts. The firm
which he defrauded refuses to state the
exact loss. which has been sustained.

Recognition of Consul Norton Will
BE Demanded of Turkey.
The State Department has sent instruc
lions to Lloyd c. Griscom, Charge DAT
flares of the United States at CONSTANT
nople, to insist that this Government is
entitled to consular representation at Har-
poot, Armenia, and that DR.. Thomas H.
Norton, recently appointed Consul to that
post. should be granted an exequatur. Mr..
Griscom has been directed to claim that
this Government was given the right to
establish the consulate by the treaty of
1890. between the United States and the
Ottoman Porte, which provided that Amer
lean consulates might be established at
Commercial places" In Turkey.
The Porte, in raising the initial objec-
ton to granting recognition to DR.. Nor
ton. contended that Harpoot was not a
Commercial place" within the meaning OF
the treaty. Its final refusal to furnish him
with an exequatur was based primarily on
the ground that VIXEN permission was given
for the establishment Of an American Con-
sulate at Erzerum, Armenia, there was an
understanding reached that no American
Consul would be sent to-, HarpOot.. That
any such understanding existed is denied
by this Government.
