SURGERY IN WAR.
Recent Lessons Based on Expert
ence in South Africa

At the meeting of the British Medical
Association at Chcitenham most inter-
esting paper was read by Sir William
MacCormac on War Surgery: Old and
New"
He said remark made in reference to
the position of military surgeons at the
time of the Crimea was applicable today.
Surgeons had not attained the position
to which their varied requirements, skill,
and devotion entitled them. Chloroform
was first tested on a large scale in the
field during the Crimean war, and its
success was complete. 1t was found even
more precious in the field than in civil
practice. Iu the Austro-German war, in
1866, antiseptic surgery had not been in
troduced, nor was 1t employed during the
Franco-German war except to quite a
limited extent. The mortality after oper
ations then was very great indeed.
Wounds of large joints entailed fatal re-
suits, abdominal wounds were scarcely
ever recovered from, and one-half or
more of the cases of chest injuries died.
Amputations were frequent, and attended
by large mortality. A large proportion
of those who died on the field of battle
perished from hemorrhage. The large
bullets of former campaigns, weighing
often twice as much as those now In use,
inflicted most extensive damage. both on
the soft parts and on the bone.
From South Africa as yet no complete
statistics were available. He would,
however. attempt in general way to In
dicate some Of the improved conditions
of modern warfare as exemplified there.
The use of chloroform was universal; al
SO morphia. But shock was less severe
in the case of modern bullets than pre-
viously was the case, due no doubt to
the different character of the wound. The
limited amount of local damage produced
in most cases by the comparatively small
and very swift Lee-Metford or Mauser
bullet had impressed all observers. The
soft parts and bone were damaged, as a
rule. only in limited degree, and recov-
cry generally took place rapidly, and
complications. The manner in
which the bullet might traverse the alb
domen, thorax, Uranium, the great joints.
and important viscera, often producing
only a minimum of constitutional dis
turbance, must be witnessed to be real
lied. He was impressed also with the
small number of cases of primary fatal
in the Fronco-P -Prussian war.
Deaths from this cause were about 2Q-per
rent in every region of the body. The
of cases terminating fatally
was not diminished. Formerly gun
shot fracture of the femur formed a Sc
-ious menace to life. In the civil war g.

THE ALABAMA CONSTITUTION.
A Movement Toward Making Ratifi-
cEtiOn a Pnrfy Issue.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 2.-Shall the
ratification of the new constitution be
made party question? This is a propo-
sition which is causing widespread discus
sion among Democrats in Alabama at this
time, and there is much difference Of
opinion. There are those who believe that
the success of the new constitution de-
pends upon the united support of the
Democratic party, and they are of the
opinion that the only way shis can be
secured is by formally declaring the rati-
fcation of the instrument a party issue
This could be done by calling meeting
of the State Democratic Convention, and
there are those who advocate this course
but at this time 1t does not look as though
this view will prevail. There is no deny
ing the fact that there would be stub
born fight should such a step be taken,
as many would take the stand that the
issue is one which rises above party, and
one in which every man should be left to
follow his own convictions. An attempt
to make the adoption of the instrument
party issue would be regarded by these
as an effort to gag free expression, and
they would fight it to the last. Divis; on
would certainly follow. and, owing to this
fact, II is scarcely probable that a con-
vention will be called to consider the
question.
President Knox expressed the convic-
tion that the new constitution will be
ratified when submitted.
Other leaders in the party express the
opinion that the adoption of the consti-
tuition is already a party measure, and it

TO WORK ARIZONA COAL FIELDS
New Railroads Planned to Make
Oncrations prOfitnhIe.

| PHOENlX. Ariz., Sept. 2.-Extensive
| plans are being laid by various companies
| for the development OF large coal fields In
| Arizona. and in the State of Sonora, Mex
| leo. New railroads are now being
planned and built, which will give an op-
portunity of placing Arizona and Mexican
coal in competition with the product of
mines at Gallup. N M, at Durango. Col.
and in the East
At many places down the western side
of the Sierra Madre Mountains, in west
ern Sonora, large coal fields have been
found, but heretofore It has been an i'm
possibility to get it out in profitable guam
titles.
Now the Southern Pacific is putting in
many branches to its Sonora line and the
coal deposits are to be developed on an
extensive scale. One of the best of the
coal fields in Mexico is around San Mar
ciel Here the Pacific Coast Coal Com
pany is putting in railroad from Quay
mas to its mines, where large works are
being built.@The coal vein formation there
is almost coke. so far as it has been
uncovered. and is peculiarly adapted for
use in smelters. one of the principal needs
in the Southwest. The railroad which the
company is building will be continued to
connect with the Phelps Dodge road at
Nacosari, and with that road built from
that point on TO Tombstone. and connec-
tion will be made with the main line of
the Southern Pacific.
In Arizona a number of coal companies
have begun operations Coal has been
found in many places in the Territory
nearly all in the eastern part. Beds of
graphite anthracite coal occur in the
southeastern part especially in the CHR
icahua range of mountains, thirty miles
east of the Southern Pacific Railroad at
lewiston. In northeastern Arizona. in
Coconino County. there is an extensive
coal field, the value of which has been
determined by careful explorations and
tests by competent engineers recently.
As at present determined the area of
these fields is about 400 square miles. The
coal is Of a superior quality. but a rail-
road is needed to connect them with the
Santa Fe Railway, a distance of some
seventy miles.
