adopt this simple precaution may result in

While it appears to be conclusively demon

st. Louis were due to the use Of an impure
serum, judgment must be suspended with
reference to the present outbreak Of that
disease In Philadelphia and vicinity, al
though it must be admitted that 1t appears
probable that the vaccine virus used was
responsible. 1t hardly appears possible that
so many physicians would have coincident-
ally failed to take proper precautions or
that the carelessness of SO many parents
would. at the same time, have resulted in
the occurrence of tetanus in places SO wide

investigation has been made it will be i'm
possible to indicate positively where the

May Be Due to Negligence.

"The occurrence Of the disease in any
case may be due. therefore, to negligence
on the part of the manufacturer Of the
dipththeria antitoxic serum or to the vac
cine virus; to negligence on the part Of the
physician who injects such serum or in
oculates with such virus; or through ig-
norance or neglect on the part of the pa
tient or his attendants In caring for the
wound. Despite, however, these several
chances of infection, the occurrence of te-
tanus after the Injection of curative Sc
runs or after vaccination is extremely
rare.
THE only possible reason for the occur
renee of tetanus through the use of impure
serum virus is that human beings are
fallible. Ordinary precautions on the part
of the manufacturers Of such products
should absolutely prevent the sale of any
! material even open to suspicion. Every ef-
fort is, Of course, made to use none but per-
fectiy healthy animals for the propagation
Of such products, but aside from this, and
as an additional precaution, after diphtheria

Reports From Other Cities Cause
Stir in Washington.
STATEMENT MADE BY DR.. WOODWARD
Deaths From Tetanus May Have
Been Due to Negligence
INVESTIGATION IN VIEW

The recent deaths of school children in
St, Louis and Philadelphia as result OF
lockjaw or tetanus, supposed to have been
superinduced in the first instance by teta-
nus bacilli in antitoxic serum and In the
latter case by the same germ In vaccine
virus, have caused quite a stir In local
medical circles. There has also been no
little apprehension among parents whose
children have recently been vaccinated or
are about to be so treated. This apprehen-
sion, however, is to a large degree dis
PEELED by the reassuring statement made by
DR.. w. c. Woodward, the District health
officer. In the following statement DR..
Woodward describes the precautions which
are taken to guard against infection in the
virus.
"Tetanus is a disease due to the inocula-
ton OF a wound with tetanus oacnn OF ,.
with their product, the tetanus toxine,
said DIR. Woodward wherever cases of
tetanus have followed the injection of diph-
iberia antitoXic serum or vaccination the
disease has been due to the infection Of the
wound in the manner above described and
not to the serum or vaccine virus per Sc.
Such infection may occur, Of course, by
reason of the presence of the tetanus ba-
cilli or tetanus toxine In the serum or in
the vaccine virus but it may occur also as
the result of a failure to clean the skin
properly before injecting the serum or be-
fore vaccinating; through the use of an in
fected syringe or scarifying instrument; or
through the improper care of the puncture
or abrasion incidental to the injection or
vaccination.

Russia Tired CT Her Retaliatory
Tariff Acts.
New YORK, July SIT is announced
in Washington dispatch to the Jour
nal of Commerce that a decided dispo.
sition to counteract the acts of retal1a-
tory duties imposed on certain Ameri-
can products has recently been shown
by the Russian government. 1t would
seem, from the earnestness of the rep.
resentations made to the department of
state by the Russian ambassador before
his departure from Washington and by
the charge d'affairs since then, although
1t is not openly acknowledged, that
MiHister De Witte regrets his action in
retaliation duties, causing friction be-
tween the two governments.
The Russian government seems to be
seeking a reopening Of the case in re-
gard to the countervailing duty on su-
gar. 1t is not the volume of Russian
sugar imports into the United States
which determines the anxiety Of the
Russian government in the matter, bat
rather its general policy of avoiding
friction where nothing is to be gained.
The assurance of friendship given by
Count Casini and the charge, M. De-
Willant, made favorable impression at
the state department., but do not prom
ise any immediate result.
The single result which may follow
the representations of the Russian am
bassador is the removal of the reciproc.
tty negotiations which were abandoned
last winter
Hon. John A. Kasson, who dealt with
most of the reciprocity treaties, is now
on leave of absence. Definite arrange.
ments for treaty with Russia will
probably not be made until his return.

PITTsBURG, July 8.-The peremptory
dismissal on Saturday of 10 members OF
the Amalgamated association at the
Wellsville plant of the American Steel
Sheet company may seriously affect the
expected settlement this week of the
iron and steelworkers.
When seen this morning, President
Shaffer of the Amalgamated association

ference will take place." said he, "but
one thing is certain: there will be nc

WeIsville are reinstated. These men
came to us. They violated NO law OF
the land, and we shall protect them. Il
they are not reinstated and the con-
ference is postponed, the general strike
will come. This is a repetition OF
what the sheet manufacturers did

Salisbury and old Meadows and then
stole these mills from us. The men at

received during the day. If the Wells
vile matter can be settled, the confer
ence will then, it is believed, be quick.
ly arranged, all agreement reached and
the strike declared off before the end-ot
the week.
There was resumption of work in
many iron and steel mills today. The
mills have been idle for two weeks for
repairs. 1t is supposed that fully 49,
900 men returned to work today.

The concerns which signed the Anal.
