Mysterious Unknown Men.
Albany, June L. Two mysterious
strangers were brought into the Roches,
ter school bill forgery, and witness
swore that they, and not Il. III. Dennis
ton, made the changes in the bill on a
proof sheet.
The chief interest in the examination
was the appearance of e. I'll. Denniston,
whom Superintendent of State Printing
Winchester accused of having connection
with the printing of the forgery. Mr..
Denniston was accompanied by his fa.
ther.
Foreman of the Composing Room Kel.
cey gave unimportant testimony as to
the reprinting, adding only to the slight
cIews by saying that the reprint was sent
back to Mr. Denniston. He could not,
however, state whether Mr.. Denniston
received it or not. The witness. how.
ever, claimed that Mr.. Winchester told
him to send over the new copy to Mr..
Denniston when he (the witness com.
planned of an error.
Edwin Ober, shipping clerk of the
state printer, testified aS to the record OF
printing the engrossed bill. II was re-cn.
crossed on March 26, before the legsla.
ture adjourned, and there was no charge
for re-engrossing after adjournment and
nothing on their books to show when the
bill went out or when the bogus bill was
printed.

San Francisco, June In response to
a communication from the attorneys of
the Chinese Six Companies stating that
the quarantine now being maintained is
causing great destitution among the Chi
nese, most Of whom are dependent on
their daily labor for their support, the
board of health has asked the representa-
lives of the companies to submit an esti-
mate of the daily supply of food neccs-
sary for INDECENT persons in Chinatown,
which estimate will be presented to the
board of supervisors for action.
An autopsy at which the Chinese will
be represented will be held in every slls-
picious case of death in Chinatown. Eff
forts will be made to secure retention sta
tions on islands in the bay with accom-
modatiOns for 1000 persons.
The Chinese consul general states posi-
lively that the Chinese will never submit
to the Halfkine treatment. He says
that the prices of food have risen - per

and that il the poor are not fed by the

The decision of the United States court
affirming the decision of the court of
appeals of Kentucky in favor of Beck
ham settles undoubtedly the governorship
controversy in that state in favor of the
Democrats. 1t will be remembered that
Taylor, the Republican candidate, was
declared elected by the returning board,
but the legislature acting under autho-
rity given it by the constitution and the
notorious Goebel law went behind the
returns and reversed the decision of the
canvassing board, giving the governor
ship to Beckham. This decision was
subsequently affirmed by the state court
of appeals. Appeal was taken to the
United States Supreme Court Taylor
expressing willingness to abide by the
decision of that tribunal. There is little
doubt that Taylor was fairly elected and
entitled to the seat but the action of the
legislature counting him out was within
its legal rights. The case is one where
n tribunal took advantage of its power to
do injustice rather than justice, and
there seems to be no way of reversing its
action

AMAZING RECOVERY.
Young Durye. to Leave the HosPit.i.
New York World.)

h
Unless there should be an Unforeseen re-
lapse, Walter B. Duryea, whose neck was
broken by dive into shallow water last
August, will leave Roosevelt Hospital In
two or three weeks, and he will be taken
to the home of his father at Glen Cove,
l.. 1.
Thus, indomitable will, courage and
strength, with every resource that science
could command, have combined In saving
the life of man with his spinal cord
severed Duryea has been showing re-
markable improvement since January,
when, as result of an attack of pneu-
monia IL was feared that he would die.
Duryea called for pencil and paper
on Saturday and surprised his nurse by
writing, as II in practice. As matter
of fact, was told that he had been prac-
tising handwriting for several days previ-
Gus to Saturday. His hands, though,
are very feeble, and there is little power
| In his fingers.
His nurse has to push..him around in a
chair that was built especially for him.
Duryea Is unable to propel 1t himself,
but at the same time the patient has
made such wonderful recovery that DIR.
Robert Able, who performed the opera
tion, believes that his patient may be
safely transported to Glen Cove some
time within the next two or three weeks.
| DIR. Able visited Duryea at Roosevelt
Hospital on Saturday, and left at night
for Bar Harbor, Me-, for few days. In
the meanwhile he has left the young man
| in the care of Dr. Arthur l.. Fisk.
Duryea Is a son of Edgar +. Duryea,
a starch manufacturer. He was bathing
| in Oyster Bay one day last August, and
dove from the Casino dancing Pavilion
into the water. II was shallow where
| the dive was made, and Duryea struck on
his head He arose to the surface of the
water stunned. 1t was found that his
| neck was broken. He was brought to
New York, and placed in Roosevelt Hos
pital, where DIR. Able performed an oper-
alton on September 10. The case has be-
come one OF the most celebrated In medi-
cal and surgical circles, and has been
keenly watched by surgeons and medical
practitioners in this and other countries.

Prof. Goodwin Smith, writing to the
New York Sun, expresses the opinion
that the aspect Of the Boer question has
been changed for the worss by Mr.. Cham
berlain's s recent speech at Birmingham.
In that speech Mr.. Chamberlain told the
Beers that upon surrender they would be
deprived not only Of their Independence,
but Of their political liberties, and gov
erned as crown colony. Prof. Smith
thinks that under Pitt or Peel Mr.. Cham
beriain would not have been allowed TO
proclaim his policy upon the platform as
that Of the government. II have been
"blamed," he says, ''for speaking, as
an Englishman, In the American press OF
q question which divides my country
men. But have not many Englishmen
and Canadians, some Of them In the
highest and most responsible positions,
done the same? Has not the press OF
the two countries become practically a
common forum? Did not the drawing
rooms of London appeal on this question
of the South African war to the drawing
rooms Of New York, and did not the
drawing rooms of New York respond te
the appeals We were told that at char
ity concert, which was really an anti
Boer demonstration, all the highest
society of New York was present. I have
been throughout in sympathy and in cor
respondence with English, liberals, men
thoroughly patriotic, who are struggling
| against the war and the tory reaction
| which attends 1t. We seem, however, to
be coming to an era something like that
of the Reformation, when national dlvis-
ions for the time gave way to that OF
principle. All the imperialist Worship
pers of forces are now in a certain sense
| fellow citizens; 50 are all those who, in
whatever nation, eleave to Righteousness
as the foundation of the state. On the
campus of Cornell there Is n stone seat,

The refusal of the Senate to take up the
Nicaragua canal bill probably marks the
end of that matter for this session. The
House passed the BILL but 1t was generally
understood that many voted for it in the
expectation that IL would be shelved in
the Senate, who would not have voted
for it had they deemed it likely 10 be-
come law. Doubt less public sentiment
Is overwhelmingly in favor of the build
ing of canal across the isthmus, but
1t Is not in favor of going ahead
blindly without thorough survey to
determine which is the most practicable
route, nor would 1t sanction the repudi-
alton of international engagements
while negotiations We're progressing
favorably looking to an honorable
and amicable modification of
them. The bill passed by the House
violated business principles and swept
aside treaty that the administration
had held to be in full force, and these
facts constitute solid reasons why II
should not become law.

It Is, Of course. known that many

chance to see how microbes comported

Exposed for twenty hours to the liquid

which attaches to these Investigations.
To know the limits Of germ life Is an es-

infectious diseases, caused by microbic
action, can be destroyed and prevented
from attacking MS.
IL has long been known that we cannot

growth certainly, fact we see illustrHt-

are responsible for inducing disease, and
for causing decomposition, putrefaction,

The selection of Mr.. Allen as governor
of Porto Rico seems to have been very
happy one. The people of the island are
greatly taken with him, and his admins
tration bids fair to be eminently success
full. And in this connection it can be said
that the choice of all the highest
officers in our colonial possess
ions has been fortunate. What mistakes
have been made have been i'm the minor
officers, where naturally, perhaps, not SO
great care was exercised, and where
there was more opportunity for political
influence to get in its work. Cuba Is a
conspicuous example. All the governors
general and governors of districts have
turned out well, but some of the minor
officials have given rise to serious scan
dals A vigorous application of thes
civil service rules must be the main re-
lance TO avoid these mistakes in tn
future.
