IA CURE THAT KILLS
DIPHTHERIA ANTIToxINE
 WHICH CAUSES LoCKJAW.
Eleven Chhildren in St. Louis Die from the Injected Drug-Anti-
 toxine Taken from Horse
 Suffering from Tetanus.

St. Louis Nov. 1.-The list of deaths attributed to lockjaw as a result of ad- ministration of diphtheria antitoxine manufactured by cit* chemist. numbers eleven, two new deaths being reported today. Eleven other children are re- ported to the health department as suf- fering from lockjaw. with slight chances for recovery. The cause of lockJaw in each case Is said to be poisoning from the city's diphtheria antitoxine.
 As a result of the charges. the Health Department has begun the free distribu- ton of tetanus antitoxine. It Is designed to inject the serum into the blood of diphtheria patients who have been in oculated with the tetanus-infected serum and those exposed to lockjaw.
 The health department has announced that no more diphtheria antitoxine will be manufactured by the city of St. Louis.
 The investigation ordered by the city coroner to determine positively the cause of the deaths of the eight children who are alleged to have died of lockjaw fol- lowing the administration of the city's antitoxine Is being pushed and 1t Is ex- pectkd that its object will be accomplished in a,few days. Doctors Bolton, Fish and Waldron, three of the most experienced bacteriolgists in St. Louis, are making tests with the antitoxine and the serum taken from the spinal columns of the dead children.
 Dr. Rayold, city bacteriologist who made the antitoxine complained of from serum taken from a horse, which de- veloped tetanus on October 1 and was shot, declares that if the animals system contained tetanus bacilli on August Ath when the last serum was taken from him, 1t was impossible to detect 1t by an inspection of the horse.
 At the Baptist Hospital an independent investigation has convinced Drs. Nichols, Harris and Morris that the presence of tetanus germs in the city antitoxine Is indisputable. A guinea pig was inoculated with the antitoxine Wednesday night, de- veloped symptoms of lockJaw Thursday morning and died today.

ENe1AND's FOREIGN POLICY
The LondoA Times Accused of Sow
 inD Seeds of Discord.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Berlin cores pondent of The London Times and The New York Times quoted an article in The National-Zeitung on the discussion of the question of Great Britain's foreign policy which has been going on in The London Times and the National Review.
 The National-Zeitung treats with dis dain the suggestion of the Anglo Russian entente and accuses The London Times of sowing the seeds of dissension be- tween Great Britain and Germany. The correspondent urges. on the contrary. that good understanding between Great Britain and Russia would he the best thing for Anglo German relations, as 1t would remove the grounds for the ale gation that Great Britain tries to use Germany as cats-paw. Great Britain and Russia, says the correspondent. have more objects in common than have Great Britain and Germany. Englishmen desir- ing the friendship of Russia have no wish to quarrel with Germany, but only wish a second string to thelr bow, as Germany herself does.
 It Is true, remarks the correspondent. that the German Government deprecates the excesses of the press in It's invecttves against Great Britain. but if similar at- tacks were made in the British press on the German Emperor and German insti- tutions, a protest would forthwith be made by the German Embassy in Lon don. As an indication of German national feelings these attacks deserve to be taken into consideration.

Children Journey to Chicago to Re
 ceive Treatment.

Chicago, Nov. Flight children, ac- companied by their parents ended 1,5OO- mile race for life this evening at the Chi cago Pasteur Institute. Another child will arrive tomorrow. The youngsters ranging in age from 4 to years, came from Colorado Springs. Colo, where they were bitten last Sunday by dog af- ficted with the rabies. Fearing hydro phobia, their parents began the long journey to have their children treated
 The victims were met at the institute by Dr. A. Logorio. who administered the first injection of serum. To insure suc- cess, pr. Logorio prefers to administer the first treatment within five days of the time the bite was inflicted If the children had not arrived today, he says, rabies probably would have developed and death might have resulted.
 Dr. Logorio said tonight the children would recover. His patients are: Charles Gregory, Catherine Lamb. Nellie, Ches- ter and Margaret McAuliffe. Hazel and Agnes Vanderverter and Hazel Meech The victims are the children of mechan- ics employed in Colorado Springs. The animal which caused the trouble was a little black and tan dog owned by Mrs. E. F. McAuliffe.

BOERS CAPTURE TWO GUNS
Several Officers and More
 Than so Men Killed.
Colonel Benson, the Leader of the English Column, is Among the Dead-Fight Occurred
 Near Bethel.

London, Nov. 2.-Lord Kitchener has re- ported to the War Office disaster to the British near Bethel. Eastern Transvaal, in which two guns were lost, several of- ficers killed or wounded, and fifty-four men were killed and 1e0 wounded. The following Is the text of Lord Ritchener's dispatch, dated Pretoria, November 1:
 T have just heard of severe attack made on the rear guard of Colonel Ben- sons column when about twenty miles northwest of Bethel. near Brokenlaagate, during a thick mist.
 ''The strength of the enemy is reported to have been thousand. They rushed two guns with the rear guard, but 1t is uncertain whether they were able to re- move them.
 "I fear cur casualties were heavy. Col onel Benson was wounded, but not se- verely. A relieving column will reach him this morning."
 Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as follows: Colonel Barter, who marched from the constabulary line yesterday. reached Bensons column early this CFri- day) unopposed. He reports that Colonel Benson died of his wounds.
 Other Officers Slain.
 ''The other casualties are as follows: Killed-Colonel E. Guinness, Major F. D. Murray, Captains M. W. Lindsay and F. T. Thorould, Lieutenants E. V. I. Brooks and R. E. Shepherd and Second Lieuten- ant A. J. Corlett.
 Died of wounds-Captain Eyre Loud"
 Lird Kitchener then gives the names of thirteen other officers who were wounded, most of them severely, and announces that fifty-four non-commissioner officers and men were killed and 160 wounded ad- ding that four of the latter have since died of their wounds. The dispatch then says:
 'T assume that the two guns have been recovered and the enemy has withdrawn, but have no further details.
 'I deeply regret the loss of Colonel Benson and the other officers and men who fell with him. In Benson the service loses a most gallant and capable officer. who invariably led his column with marked success and judgment
 "The fighting was at very close quar- ters and maintained with determination on both sides. The enemy suffered heavi- ly. but have not yet received a reliable estimate.

MAso's MANIFEST.
The Autonomists Take Kindly to
 the Pronouncement.

the Announcement
 Havana, Nov. 1.-The manifesto of Gen. eral Bartolome Maso in declaring him. self c candidate for the Presidency of Cuba, has caused a stir in political cir cles. It Is generally admitted that he will prove a strong candidate if he receives the support of the autonomist party.
 El Diapa de la Marina, the organ of the autonomists, commends the manifesto. a'It is not the red-hot bombsheif predict and well-ordered pronouncement. The idea of evolving gradually into independ- ence under the Platt amendment is the view the autonomists take. General Maso's plea that the payment of the army should be the first obligation of the re- public is a political move, and has no alarming significance. especially when we take into consideration the conservatism that is evident through the manifesto"
 La Discussion ridicules General Maso's candidacy and criticizes his bid for the autonomist and negro vote.
 La Lucha, sounding a note of warning for the men surrounding Senor Palma, says: "Unless something is done imme- diately to unite the Cubaus, the fierce political struggle that Is inevitable with General Maso in the field will result In a disturbance of the moral peace of the island. The official element backing Senor Palma lacks tact, prudence and discretion, and has no other object than to hold on to the present offices"
 Boards of inscription were elected to- day. whose duties will be to register vot- CTS for the coming elections.

AN EXPLODED THEORY.
Shooting at Hail Storms Has No
 Effect, Says Moore.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Professor Willis l.. Moore, Chief of the Weather Bureau. and his assistants, combat the theory of the efficiency of shooting for destroying hail storms and say none of the reports of experiments in Europe have shaken their opposition. Professor Moore will issue a report shortly on the subject. elaborating his views on the investiga- tions and experiments that have been conducted along these lines. He vigor- ously deries that shooting has any ef- fectiveness in d 'stroying hail storms or in bringing about rain, despite a rather prevalent belief and says that 1t Is not worth while for the vineyard districts of this country to adopt such measures as are proposed in France for the protection of YitlculturiSts.

 There is in fact a real danger.

PATIENCE IS EXHAUSTED.
Sultan Must Pay or Suffer Conse
 ouence of Refusal.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Paris cores pondent of The London Times and The New York Times declares that the patience of France with Turkey has final iy been exhausted. He says 1t is the gen. eral belief that Turkey will now abandon her procrastinating tactics and fulfill her engagements. Her only difficulty will be in finding the necessary money.
 The correspondent adds that things cannot go on as they have done. The government is face to face with a debate on the foreign estimates in the Chamber of Deputies and 1t is imperative that a situation both embarrassing and ridicul- ous shall be ended. When the trouble with Turkey began. the dispatch goes on to say, 1t seemed difficult for France to undertake a coercive naval demonstra- ton In regard to the three matters at stake The question of the Constanti- nople quays concern is private enter prise involving interpretations of con- cession. The Lorando and Tubini debts were even less of the sort for which a powrr mobilizes a fleet.
