TERRIBLE ARROW POISON.

EFrom Berlin Cor. New York Times.1
During his last visit to East Africa
Prof. Robert Koch procured some of the
poisoned arrows and the poison used
Herewith by the Wakamba people, a
primitive race settled between Kenia
and Kilimanjaro. Prof Rrieger, the
head of the Institute for Infectious Dis
eases, has been making experiments
with Wakamba poison, which is ex-
tracted from plants, and has come to
the conclusion that it is a heart poison.
In cold-blooded animals it causes a
gradual diminution of the hearts pull
sations, and finally heart failure. In
warm blooded animals symptoms of
poisoning appear within 10 or 10 min
utes after absorption of the poison.
breathing becomes difficult, cries of
pain are provoked cramps occur, and
death speedily ensues. Prof. Brieger
has found that the active principle of
the poison is a crystalline body, of
which so infinitesimal a quantity as
0.0OO05 gram causes the death of a
guinea pig weighing 300 grams within
20 minutes.
It is believed in scientific circles here
that the investigation of the Wakamba
poison is of the highest medical impor-
tance, as it will probably prove valuable
as a drug having a specific action on
the heart It is hoped that the expert
ments will ultimately show the Wa
kamba drug to be as useful in the treat
ment of heart disease as quinine has
proved in feverS and malaria

ROOSEVELT SAYS NO.
Will Not Accept the Nomination For
Vice President.

New York, Feb. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Governor Roosevelt will not accept
the nomination for the vice presidency
on the Republican ticket. He will be
a candidate for a second term in the
executive mansion at Albany
This is the substance of a communi-
cation received by Senator Lodge of
massachusetts, from the governor and
conveyed to the president.
Senator Lodge did not consider the
message he received from Governor
Roosevelt confidential. He accordingly
distributed the information freely
among the Republican leaders here
Governor Roosevelt's positive declf-
nation to accept second place on the
presidential ticket is the leading topic
of discussion tonight among Republi-
can leaders in Washington. By thus
putting himself out of the race Gov
ernor Roosevelt has reopened the field
of speculation as to who will be Presi-
dent McKinley's running mate. The
president would have been pleased to
have had the governor on the ticket
with him.
Senator Scott of West Virginia, a
member of the national committee,
said he received information which
came direct from Governor Roosevelt,
announcing positively that he would
not accept the nomination for the vice
presidency. even if it should be ten
dered to him by the unanimous vote of
the national convention.
~'AThere are some of u.s." added Sen
ator Scott, who are inclined to look to
the far west for a running mate for

son Gray Otis of California, frequently

tional committeeman from Maine
thinks Cornelius n. Bliss would make
an admirable candidate.
HE would be acceptable not only
to the president" said Mr.. Manley, "but
to all factions in the Republican party"

Organization.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Promoters Of the

clubs will meet at the Great Northern
hotel today and endeavor to fix their
circuit. Upon their efforts hinges the

posed as a rival of the National League

knowledge that failure to settle matters

of the attempt, at least for this year.
The following cities are represented:

man; st. Louis, AL Sphinx and G. P.

vile, Isaac F. Whiteside, C. L. Monroe
and J. F. Hanger. At a conference
which lasted until a late hour last night
the following slate for today's meeting
was endorsed:
To change the name from the Ameri-
can Association to the New American
Association.
To start the season at all hazards,
whether with six or eight clubs.
To elect A. G. Arson president, if he
should not withdraw from the move
ment, something which is now limited
at strongly.
To force each city's representatives
to deposit the lease for the home
grounds with the association treasurer.
