The police have about concluded
that more effective work on the plot

although Czolgosz probably will have
another experience with the third de-

slowly because the men on it must
cover large amount of preliminary
ground before they do effective work.

the detectives are the only ones who

1t is believed that if Prof. Schuel-
ler's discovery had been made, say, ten

parents of Kaiser Wilhelm and of his

could have been much prolonged. The

and humanity.
DR.. Max Schueiier is the son of a
Lutheran pastor. He is about 81
years old and his career as a surgeon
is replete with brilliant feats which
have given him an enviable reputa-
ton in Europe. About 30 years ago
he came to America at the call of an
eastern medical college, but heimweh

He has written voiumnously both in
German and English on the subject

Gently at the Middlesex hospital in
England a terrible case of cancer Of
the breast in an elderly woman was
submitted to the Xrays. In the
treatment, extending over many
weeks, there was a very marked inn
provement.
The X-rays for cancer have also
been tried in America with similar
satisfactory results. Within the next
few months the treatment will prob
ably be extended to many cases. If
the outcome is equally good we will at
least have hopes of successfully meet
ing this rapidly growing and hideously
torturng affection.
Ten years ago consumption of the
lungs was regarded as practically in
cura BILE. The patient was coddled,
kept from all exposure, and the ques-
tions for his doctor were how long he
could prevent the end coming and how
painless dying could be made. All this
already belongs to past history. 1t is
now recognized that consumption is
definite infective disease, due to germs
in the lungs. The lines of treatment
to-day are two-fold On the one hand
many endeavors are made to prevent
the spread of infective matter, while
the patient himself is treated by ex-
posure to open air and by excessive
feeding.

A mule in a pack train which was
usually loaded with salt discovered
that by lying down when fording
certain stream and allowing the salt
to dissolve he could tighten his bur:

ASSASSIN IN SWEAT BOX.
Gzo1gosz Continues TO Deny That EHe
Had Accomplices - Police of MANY
Cities Rounding Up Anarchists

Buffalo, y. Y, Sept. 1O.-Czolgosz
went through another long examina-
tion yesterday at the hands of the po-
lice officials, but emerged from it
without having added anything to the
case. The chief effort of the detec-
tives was to draw from the prisoner
some admission as to his accomplices,
but he stuck to his denial that he was
not assisted in any way in the com
mission of his crime. Every police
device was reSorted to to obtain the
admission, but the prisoner re-
tanned his position and could not be
shaken.

CHAPTER w.

When Barbara started that after
noon with Mrs. Ward for Mrs. Vane's
to meet with her in conference, she had
no plan of any kind worked out, even
in the yaguest outline. She had told
Mrs. Ward what Mrs. Vane had said be-
fore, and asked her whether she was
willing to go with her. Mrs. Ward was
very willing, and Barbara gave her
credit for being as much interested as
any woman might be expected to be in
anything that was not even thought
out far enough to be rightly called a
conference"
Mrs. Vane met them with her usual
bright greeting, and again Barbara
felt the sharpness of her look.
''Ive asked Hilda to come in for a
little while this afternoon. She doesn't
want to stay very long, and had rath-
er hard work to persuade her to come
at all. She's shy. Mrs. Ward, how's
your headache? Or maybe this isn't
your day for having one. i don't won
der your girls have trouble with you.
You're so nervous with your head
aches that l wouldn't venture to work
for you short of ten dollars a week in
advance. L wonder Miss Clark has
stayed as long as she has"
All this the old lady said with as
tonishing rapidity and with frank
ness that amazed Barbara and made
Mrs. Ward laugh.
Miss Clark is learning to put up
with me, think" Mrs. Ward said, with
a kindly look at Barbara, who was
pleased.
20, l should think So" said Mrs.
Nane, looking sharply from one to the
other. You don't either of you have
many grievances, imagine. Sit right
there, Hilda!" she exclaimed as the
girl Barbara had met on Sunday came
into the room. "You remember Mrs.
Ward and Miss Clark, Hilda? We met
them last Sunday"
Hilda sat down awkwardly in the
seat indicated by Mrs. Vane, and there
was moment of embarrassed silence.
Hilda was dressed to go out, and Bar
bara could not help wondering how far
the girl understood what the meeting
was about. She began to feel a little
angry at Mrs. Vane, without knowing
just why, when that good woman very
frankly cut across the lots of all pre-
liminaries by saying: "Now, then,
Hilda, you know we'll enough what l
asked you to come in for. We want to
make beginning of some sort of help
ing the girls who are out at service re-
alize what their work means, and what
they are worth to family, and all
that"
Hilda looked embarrassed and said
nothing. Barbara came to the rescue.
Don't you think the first thing we
need to do is to settle on some really
simple plan by which we can reach all
the girls and let them know what we
propose to do?"
You never can do it," Mrs. Ward
spoke with some emphasis. "It has
been tried before by Mrs. Rice and one
or two others. The fact is, the girls do
not care to meet together for any such
purpose"
Mrs. Ward is right and wrong
BOTH" Mrs. Vane said. I'm not going
to discourage you, but you have set out
on as hard task as ever a lady under
took. The very people you want to
help are the very ones who don't want
you bothering around"
Then perhaps we had better start
with the housekeepers first" replied
Barbara, feeling conscious of the big

FIRST M'KINLEY
MONUMENT

Duluth, Mimi. Nov. I'm the pres
ence of 5000 persons, including Gov.
Vansant and many prominent men Of
Minnesota of all political affiliations
and religious creeds, the first monu-
ment to be erected in this country to
the memory of President Mckinley
was unveiled and dedicated at Tower
Mimi, yesterday.
Special trains were run from all the
principal towns on the, iron ranges,
and there was a great parade, with
five bands. Among the speakers
were Monsignore Buh of Tower, DR..
Robert Forbes and T. J. McKeon and
J. Adam Bede of Duluth. Governor
Vansant later wired Mrs. Mckinley
at Canton of the unwilling of the
monument. The monument is of
steel, mounted on a base of iron ore,
typical of the region, and the whole
resting on base of concrete. The
monument is nineteen feet above the
ground and appropriately inscribed.
1t cost $4,000 and much of the money
was subscribed by the iron miners.

FINAL EFFORT TO
CRUSH THE Beers

has already caused guarded feelers
on this matter to be circulated in the
press, for it appears almost impossi-
bla to keep the home forces up to the
adequate strength and supply the
necessary re-enforcements for south
Africa on the volunteer system of en-
listment alone.
Such a strenuous measure, how
ever, will doubtless cause storm of
disappToval in Great Britain, and it
will not be enacted unless the war
situation becomes graver. What
changes have come over the sentiment
of the country in two years can be
judged from the fact that the war of
fee has closely examined the old bal
lot laws, and has prepared an elab-
crate plan by which they can be
sprung upon the public on a moments
notice.

PLAN TO END SOUTH AFRICAN
WAR BEFORE THE CoRo-
NATION OF EDWARD.

London, Nov. 12.-Major General
Ian Hamilton, who has started for
Africa to be Lord Kitchener's chief Of
staff, is said to have a plan for ending
the war before the coronation.
General HamilUOn's appointment,
says the Daily News, is part OF plan
arranged after the kings return from
the continent about six weeks ago.
Unless Lord Kitchener should decline
to be complacent, the new scheme is
likely to develop about the beginning
of the year. At lengthy cabinet con
ferences the question Of reinforcing
the old ballot laws has come up for
discussion. Many of the cabinet min
listers were strongly in favor of put
ting in practice this form of conscrip-
ton, for which certain obsolete laws
already provide. Thus new legisla-
ton would be obviated.

CANAL PLAN,
WILL BE PUSHED
SENATOR CULLOM EXPECTS CON.
GRESS TO PASS ALL LEGlSLA-
TON DURING SESSION.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 12.-'In my
opinion the Panama canal scheme will
not cut any figure in the consideration
by congress of the proposition to con-
struct an isthmian canal" This state
ment was made last night by Senator
Cullom of Illinois, who will be chair
man of the senate committee on for
eign relations, which will have charge
of all negotiations on that subject.
Accepting the new Hay Paunce-
fote treaty to be as it has been so
fully printed in the press" Mr.. Gull
lom continued, 81 can see no objection
that can be raised to it, and l look for
it's ratification without unnecessary
delay.
Protocols were signed last year
between this government and Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua, based on the
provisions of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, in which those two countries
agreed to negotiate treaties with the
United States providing for the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal.
The abrOgat1On by Nicaragua or its
old treaty with the United States is
but a step in that direction. With
the new -Pauncefote treaty rati-
fed, it should be the duty of congress
to proceed with all rapidity to enact
the legislation that will provide for
the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, and I expect to see such legis-
1ation enacted at an early day.
"There is, apparently, nothing now
in the way of the canal, and the fifty
seventh congress will not adjourn
without having started on the new
work. The Panama plan has been
carefully discussed, but it is my opin,
ion that it will not be seriously con-
sfdered in the discussion of the ques,
ton Of an Isthmtan waterway"
