His death is deplored by the medical pro-

that during his long term an educator he
taught greater number OF students than
any contemporary. In the medical college
he instructed physicians and dentists in a
necessary knowledge OF chemistry. In
Washington University he performed like
service for students In every department,
including that of chemistry proper. Doctor
Jacob Friedman OF No. 2SW Clark avenue
who was a pupil Of Docton Litton. and who
afterward was assistant chemistry professor
under him. says that 1t would be impossible
to estimate the number of young men who
have benefited by Doctor Litton's instruc-
tiop.
THE number would be far up in the
thousands said Doctor Friedman. land it
would be safe to say that pupils OF Doctor
Litton are scattered in all parts of the

Washington, Sept. ..-Representative
Bsbcock of Wisconsin. who has just re-
turned from Europe. said:
"One of the points which impressed me OF
the desirability of reviving the steel
schedule was information I obtained in Scot
land OF the placing OF an order for 200C0
tons of American steel When you stop to
think that 20,00O tons Of steel means more
than 1OO0 carloads 1t will not do to say that
such an order placed abroad by our manu-
facturers is only their surplus product. I
do not know that the price was lower than
such steel is sold for in our domestic mar
kets. but certainly it was low enough to
place the order. believe 1t can be dem
onstrated TO the satisfaction of intelligent
men that conditions have arisen which war
rant material changes in the metal schedule
and these changes have developed since the
passage of the Dingley tariff law.
-Four months Of observation In Europe
impressed me that the United States has
taken an entirely different position in the
That is shown not only by their attitude
toward trade competition, but also by the
fact that in all the financial centers Of Eu-
rope, United States bonds are quoted higher
than those of any European country. Euro
pean States bonds ranged from 10 per cent
to par. and even oritisn Donas on their COL
onies are quoted lower than the per cent
bonds Of the United States. These facts
are impressive. and. taken in connection
with changed conditions at home. it seems
to me to be wisdom for a Republican Con-
gress to meet these new conditions ana noe
wait to be driven to It by hostile criticism
from the opposition"
It will be noted that Mr.. Babcock speaks
much less confidently In Washington than
he did in Europe of his ability to secure a
reduction of the steel-product tariff this
winter 1t is probable that a few days
stay at the capital and conferences with
the real leaders Of the House will remove
from Mr.. Babcock's mind any lingering
hope that he has that his party will this
