Lay Down Arms.

Bacolod, Negroes, March 23.-There
has been an almost thorough col
lapse of the Visayan instruction
this week. There have been 500 sur
renders in Leyte, and Gen. Fulton,
the insurgent commander in Panay,
handed in 500 rifles Thursday. Be-
sides this, Diocno, the insurgent
leader in the island of Panay, who
was wounded and captured. has sent
orders to his subordinates to sur
render their arms. This practically
ends the disturbance in the island of
Panay.

 The announcement by pr. Gaylord is along the lines which the profession has been expecting for severaleyears, said Dr. J. Riddle Golf. visiting sur geon at the New.

"Of course, 1t is not possible for any one to ex- press an opinion of any value as to whether Dr. Gaylord is right or not in his conclusions, for this must await his demonstrations. Still, can, say that if what he asserts proves to De true, it would be- most gratifying to lne profession.

This is the manner in which such a dis covery must be proven. Dr. Gaylord told me year and a half ago of the possibility of uemonstrating the truth of his theories. Now, perhaps, he is in a position to prove it.

 The production of iron In the United States at present Is at the rate of about 100000 tons year, and while the con- sumption Is apparently as great, still. ac- cording to this authority 1t seems impos- sible that the world will require that amount of American iron. The exports of iron and steel are at the rate of about 100000 tons a year, thus leaving IA, 000 GOO tons to be consumed in this country.
 Reports show that the stocks of pig iron on April 1 were about eo,OOO tons less than on March 1.

 Discovery.

New York, April Special pr. B. R. Gaylord. superintendent of the State Cancer Laboratory at Buffalo, is about to go to Boston, where he will demonstrate before leading East ern pathologists concerning his dis covery of the parasite. which is the essential organism of cancer. \
 The physicians and surgeons of this city who have made a special study of cancer are much interested in the announcement made by Dr. Gaylord and his discovery.

Up TO May 8 the Mercury perturba-

its peculiar characteristics with the re-
dictionary disturbance from the 1st, to

iod from the 5en to 10Th. A rapid rise
of the barometer, with cool west winds
and frost northward, will follow these

NO TRACE YET OF
THE MISSING GIRL

Elizabeth City N. c., Dec. lex
element is undated here over the
mysterious disappearance of Miss
Cropsey, of whom no trace has been
discovered since she left her home one
night some days ago. The river was
dragged again today but without re-
suit
A mass meeting attended by 600 peo-
pie was held in the Academy of Music
today and a citizens committee APP
pointed to push the investigation into
the fate of the missing girl
The speeches made indicated strong
feeling against young Wilcox who has
been under suspicion of knowing some
thing about the matter which he has
not divulged.
Nearly 5000 was raised by private
subscription, bringing the total reward
offered for the finding Of the girl and
the conviction of those implicated up
to 5000 without counting a special re-
ward of $500 offered by A. G. Cropsey
of New York, the girls uncle.
