AT THE RIGHT TINE.

In promptly calling a meeting of the
Worlds Fair Board Of Directors to con.
slider certain proposed changes in the
bylaws Of the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position Company, the Worlds Fair Ex-
ecutive Committee has taken eminently
proper action.
The most important change to be con-
sidered is that which will make possible
the dividing Of the Committee on Manu-
features and Machinery, the scope of
which is too comprehensive to be han
died by one committee. This fact has
been discovered at the outset of actual
work, and instant action is taken to
remedy the defect.
Whatever other changes may be made

plished at the right moment.

OFFICIAL SETTLEMENT

Without entering upon any discussion
OF the merits of the case, it may be said
that Admiral Schley does well to ask
for the appointment of naval court of
inquiry to make an official investigation
and report upon all matters at issue be-
tween himself and Admiral Sampson.
The latter officer, also, should be. and
doubtless is, heartily in favor of this
disposition Of controversy which has
already proved Injurious to the service.
The revived dispute has now excited a
national attention which demands SET
tlement by an investigating board,
whose verdict shall be beyond criticism.
There is nothing to be gained by a
further conduct of the case outside of
such q court
The American people will hope to see
q naval court Of inquiry take charge. of

delay. They are very proud of the Amer

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July 24.-The War Depart
ment has received the report of the Mis-
sissippi River Commission on the work
done during the past year from Cairo to
the passes.
In the last sundry civil act there was an
appropriation of s2,25OOc0 for the work.
which. with the exception Of SIS, co., has
been allotted for levies. dredging. revet-
ments. ETC.. all Of these things being in
cluded in the plan of Improvement The
commission reports that the failure Of the
last Congress to pass q river and harbor
bill makes it necessary to repeat the rec
ommendation of the last report for contin-
uing appropria lions. The commission states
also that having no appropriation for the
coming year made necessary careful
guarding of the balances from the several
allotments. The report says:
insufficient Funds for Emergency.
THE balances for levees. their enlarge
ment and extension. are In most cases en-
tirely exhausted. while the aggregate Of
such as remain is wholly insufficient to

CAMILLE AND CRATE FIRES.
PRIMA DONNAS CONSIDERED

While the thermometer is playing all man

complains Of the "cruel cold" as the

Garden.
More than that. she actually hovers over

making an exit in the second act, to get a
heavier cloak!
Even the gentle Sarah would prove un-
equal to that sort Of realism.
And no one laughs at Koerner's this week.
The drama Is given in all of its five
acts, and the many climaxes are applauded
with interest.
Armand Duval. by Lawrence Hanley, is
vastly appreciated. He Is thin and apparent
ly taller in the role Of Armand, but his
acting Is yet Hanleyesque. There are poses

tion Of the Armand he used to play to the

Hanley has helped to make a number Of

neither is quite as summary and neither has
as good a voice as the longitudinous Miss

An odd thing about the gossip that trans

Miss Willard.
Certainly. she Is more experienced than
Berri-though not so young nor so good
looking. nor so good in voice. but young
enough and always sure.
Somebody said the other day that Miss

AN OBSTACLE REMOVED.

II Doctor Robert Koch of Germany is
correct in his belief that bovine tubercu-
losis is a disease entirely different from
human tuberculosis, an important
change in cattle inspection Of this coun-
try will be made.
Doctor Koch is no dreamer. He is the
leading authority on tuberculosis in the
world to-day. 1t was he who discovered
and isolated the tuberculosis germ, there
by making possible the early recognition
Of the disease. His years of close study
have produced results that give him q
deserved fame.
This latest assertion, delivered before
the British Congress on tuberculosis, is
startling in that it overthrows q belief
that has been accepted as one of the pri-
mary axioms in considering the subject
1t has been the basis Of legislation that
has entailed the expenditure of millions
of dollars. 1t has built q wall of inspec-
ton around the cattle industry that,
after all, may be useless for practical
health purposes.
There is, as Doctor Koch says, little
difficulty In showing the relation of hu-
man tuberculosis to bovine tuberculosis
1t is an easy thing to find animals on
which to experiment for the benefit Of
science. Animals may be inoculated with
the human virus every day in the year.
After long series Of these tests, the
learned German doctor is convinced that
cattle cannot contract tuberculosis
through incubation with human infec-
ton.
1t has not been possible for Doctor
Koch to fully satisfy himself as to the
reverse contagion. He has almost con-
WINGED himself that bovine tuberculosis
cannot be transmitted to human being.
He has been unable to find such a case
In all Of his experiments. Every indica-
ton points in that direction, he main
tains, so that he has good reason for
thinking that such may be the case.
Once fully proved, the effect on cattle
inspection will be great The matter will
be settled one way or the other within
the next few months. Settled as Doctor
Koch thinks. thousands of cattle now
annually slaughtered and thrown away
because infected with bovine tubercu-
losis will be saved to the cattlemen.
The milk of infected cows will not be
regarded with the same degree of sus-
piciOn. A secret dread of disease from
dairy products will be removed,
With the disposal of bovine tubercu-
losis and the utter dismissal of heredity
consumption, the case is cleared of two
OF the most vital influences heretofore
popularity supposed to be foundation
facts. Both Of these conclusions are Of
vital hopefulness to every person who
is liable to the disease.
