Conroy, on the night Of oct L. was

street and Seventh avenue, helplessly in

had been on a continued spree and was
bordering OH nervous collapse.
Dr. Benton OF Bellevue hospital, said
the man was suffering from a bad case
OF alcoholism and incipient delirium tre-
mems. He was taken TO the hospital ana
placed I'm the alcoholic ward.
Since that time he has been kept on
a milk diet the inner membrane of his
digestive organs having been nearly de-
stroyed by alcohol No solid food was
given TO him. but he has been allowed TO
drink all the milk ne wanted, and has
been rapidly recovering his strength.
Physicians yesterday for the first time
allowed him TO take solid food-a plate of
mutton stew being set before him.
Conroy was as hungry as an OK, and as
soon as the plate was in reach grabbed
it and began 10 fairly shovel the meat
into his stomach. In his haste he became

was apparent that relief must be given
him quick or he would die of strangula

Where are the surgical Instruments"
he shouted to one of the nurses.

Whitney had the key. A hurry call was
sent for Dr. Anderson TO bring his instru-

the patient.
This Will never do" said DR. Chris
tlan. and thrusting his hand into his
pocket he brought out his penknife and
whacked open the throat Of Conroy, who
had already turned purple i'm the face
and was in the last struggle for life.
When the opening had been made in
the throat DR. Christian inserted a rub
belr tube, which allowed Conroy 10
breathe freely. Relief came at once. and
the doctor reached into the throat and
extracted the bone and the food that had
lodged there
The cash in the throat was carefully

Selma, Ala, Oct. 22.--Lieut Richmond
Pierson Hobson. In an address under the
auspices OF the Confederate Veterans
Association, created somewhat of SEN
sation last night by his defence OF Ad-

Mrs. Sampson told me this great man

United States Insisted on il in
Answering French Note.
This Fact May Account for the An
nouncsd Agreement Between Great
Britain and Germany.

Washington, Oct 22-The state depart
ment today made public the correspond
ence which has taken place between IT.
self and the French government since the
receipt of the original French note re-
specting China. which laid down the
terms suggested by France as a basis
OF NEGOTIATION for a settlement.
This last correspondence consists of two
notes exchanged between Secretary Hay
and M, Thiebaut last week. putting into
formal shape certain verbal statements
OF Independence respecting the negotia-
tions.
An interesting and important feature OF
the rnlted States note Is the closing sug-
gestion that the powers bind themselves
again 10 preserve Chinese terrltorlal IN
tegrity and 10 maintain the open door,
exactly the objects aimed at In the Bri-
tish-German agreement or alliance which
was made public last week.

date OF October l9 and the British-Ger-
many agreemenr II aEgtHTrrt thr tifrte-t,f
october l6, the action OF this government
was taken I'm ignorance OF the agreement
and Il is entirely possible that IL may
have been the means OF bringing about
a disclosure by the other two powers.
our suggestion indicates a favorable
response by the United tSates govern
ment to invitation TO join with Great Bri-
tain and Germany in the objects speci-
fled.
THE FRENCH NOTE.
The correspondence is as follows:
October II, 1900. The government OF the
republic has highly appreciated the re-
sponse which the government of the Uni
ted States has made to it's note of the
fourth of October. II has been especially
