THE MOSQUITO THEORY.
That yellow Fever Is PrOp0Gat-
ed Only by Mosquitoes.

Havana, Jan. 9.-The American Commits
sion, under the superintendence of d..
Reed, which has been making expert
ments at Quemados as to the propaga-
ton of the yellow fever germs by the
mosquito, has obtained extremely salts
factory results.
DR.. Reed says the experiments show,
beyond doubt, that there is no conta-
gion from am infected person or from in
fected clothing, but that the mosquitoes
alone are responsible for the spread of
the disease. In the course of the COM
missions iuvestiga tions, six non-mmune
persons were infected direct by the bite
of mosquitoes. which had previously bitten
yellow fever patients. and five of these
developed yellow fever.
The last experiment made proved con-
clusively, DR.. Reed contends, the theory
OF propagation by mosquitoes. A special
building was constructed of disinfected
material, and one of the rooms was di-
vided into two sections by wire mos
quito screen. In one section were placed
disnfected bedding and clothing, and in
the other bedding and clothing from the
yellow fever hospital which had not been
disinfected. Two non-immunes occupied
the two sections.
In the former yere put several infect
ed mosquitoes. The patient remained in
this room only long enough to be bit
ten, and in four days a pronounced case
of yellow fever developed. The patient is
now convalescent.
The other subject slept in the infected
bedding for many nights, and has not
contracted the fever.
Both patients have been sleeping for
twenty nights in garments worn by yellow
fever victims and in bedding from the
yellow fever hospitals.
DIR. Reed says they are growing fat and
that in no instance in the course of the
commissioners investigations, has a case
of yellow fever developed from exposure
to infected bedding or clothing.

THE CASTELLANE SUIT.
Considers Certain Transactions

Paris, Jan. 9.-The hearing of the suit
of Charles Wertheimer, the London brio
a-brac dealer, against Count and Countess
de Castellane to recover payment for art
objects sold to the defendants, the trans
action taken as a test case, involving the
sum of 12,946 francs, was resumed to-day
before the first civil tribunal of the Seine.
ming up by the representative of the min
lister of justice and the case was then adj
journed for a week, when a judgment will
be pronounced.
The speaker to-day expressed an opinion
in favor of the Castellanes' demand for the
appointment of experts to determine the
value of some of the articles involved.
but only in the case Of objects exchanged
since 1899. The transactions up to June,
1899, he considered entirely settled and ex-
pressed the opinion that the court was
not justified in going back to them.
But the operations dating from June.
1899, were different. He instanced the
case of a bill for 1855 francs, which was
left unsettled, even though Wertheimer
was engaged in making exchanges, during
the course of which Wertheimer paid
money to Count de Castellane, the opera
tions involving sums aggregating two mil
lions. These transactions were not, in
his opinion, natural and were open to the
epspicion of being of an usurious character,
which justified the appointment of experts
to appraiSe the articles which Count de
Castellane claimed were taken by Vert
heimer at an inferior valuation. He came
to the same conclusion in the case OF
Asher versus Wertheimer.

culture absolutely Needs Strong
Protection"
Berlin, Jan 9.-The imperial chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, in the Lower House
of the Diet. to-day. strongly supported
the claims for the protection Of agricui-
ture. He said:
Il consider it the foremost duty of the
government to effect a reconciliation in
the existing economic difficulties and the
adjustment of the varying interests sup
porting those who are unable to help
themselves through their own strength.
l shall labide by the opinion that when
one member of a social body suffers all
the others suffer, and especially that an
long as such an important member as
agriculture is unhealthful, the entire or
ganism must be undermined. l am con-
vinced that it is the duty of the govern
ment to afford trade, industry and agri-
culture an equal measure of protection.
but that one of them, agriculture. abso-
lutely needs strong protection. It is in
pursuance of this principle of en-hand-
ed justice that the bill for the compile
ton and Improvement of the canals has
been drawn up IL che measure favored
industry at the expense of agriculture or
the west monarchy to the detriment of
the east, | would not have supported it."
Count Won Buelow disclalmed the slight
est intention of encouraging an estrange-
ment or separation of the east and the
west. which. he said. were destined 60
support each other. With the view to
soldify the agriculture of the east and
the industry of the west, a series of fur
ther schemes had been bound up in the
Rhine Elbe canal project, of some interest
to navigation. but chiefly for the bene-
1T of the tillers of the soil. by the es-
tabishment of a continuous network OF
waterways, advantageous to all parts OF
the empire, opening the industrial terri
tory of the west to the agricultural prod
ucts of the east.
at is my deliberate conviction" said the
chancellor chat the agricultural pro-
ducts of the East, with these cheap
means of transit. aided by an assured pro-
tective tariff, for which we must provide
and for which we wiz provide, will be
enabled to hold their own in the west,
which. in turn. will secure facilities for
the distribution of the products of the
factories"
Count Won Buelow declared that prudent
consideration for the financial situation
and the bearing capacity of the coun-
try ought TO secure the passage of the

of the monarchy was the guiding star oi

PUSHING THE PROPOSITION.
Mcssrs. ChOate and White Confer
with Foreign Ministers in Mat
ter of Chinese Negotiations.


Washington, Jan. 9.-Lengthy confer
ences were held yesterday by Ambassador
Choate with Lord Lansdowne, British
minister for foreign affairs, and Ambas-
sador White with Baron Won Richthofen,
German minister for foreign affairs, relat-
i've to the proposition made by the United
States for the removal of the two sub
jects of indemnity and commercial treat
les from Pekin to Washington or some
other foreign capital, for negotiation be-
fore an international commission.
The United States has from the outset
sought to avoid a prolonged occupancy of
China by the foreign forces. This desire
has been emphasized of late, as the re-
fusal of China to sign raised a direct is
sue with the "irrevocable" terms of the
Powers, threatening to bring on a pro-
longed occupation of Pekin and other
parts of the empire. MIR. White may have
directed attention to the desirability of a
withdrawal, but in any event this has
been more in the nature of a conversation
on measures of mutual expediency, and
not a direct proposition from the United
States.
The various interviews of the American
ambassadors with foreign governments
have not yet brought about any determin-
alton as to the proposed transfer of ne
gotiations to a point outside Pekin, and
ii is probable that some days will elapse
before the ambassadors will be able to
advise the state department definitely as
to the attitude of the several Powers.

steamer was lying just inside the break
water directly across the Erie Basin and
up against one of Boards pier heads.
Soon the big covered pier, where jute and
cotton were stored in bales, was in flames.
Fire Chief Croker hurried over from
New York.
The steamship Coya, which recently ar
rived from Callao. was cut adrift from
the burning pier shed and worked out
into the basin. There her crew fought
the flames with the deck hose and soon
had the fire under control

the tramp steamship ST. Dunstan, from
Liverpool, with a cargo of fruit and sugar
Her crew managed to get ashore while
the fireboats took care Of the abandoned
ship quenched the flames after her dec!,
house had caught fire, and her port side
was badly blistered and then set her
adrift The Idlewld meanwhile had
burned to the waters edge. and couple
of lighters also had been destroyed Fire
tugs and, engine companies poured their
streams into the burning stores. but could
only prevent the fire from spreading.
BY 4 O'Clock the flames had died down
to a shoulder.

THE FRASER KIDNAPPING.
Many Theories to the Missing
archaeological student.

Atlanta. Jan. 9.-AH sorts of clews ara
being worked on in connection with tins
alleged kidnapping of Frank Bass Fraser,
the 19-year-old Neurological School stu
dent but the matter still remains a mys-
terry.
Many people here laugh at the idea of
a 19-year-old boy OF good physical build
and muscular strength being carried OFF
by kidnapers. and they are suggesting va.
rious things for the solution of the case
Some seem to think there may be a wo-
man at the bottom of 1t. while there are
others who believe that the boy was real
ly carried off.
Though detectives and officers here and
others from Alabama are working on the
case, no clew had been found up to mid.
night. They are working very quietly,
and are not disposed to admit they know
anything about it. The boys parents are
frantic with grief, and feel confident that
he has been, in some manner, made away
with by the criminals.
The affair created a sensation here, es,
pecially at the archaeological School
where few OF the students seemed to have
missed young Fraser until the story came

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
NovOe Vremya States That the Fran
cO-Russinn Alliance Is Practi-
caIIy Ended.

Paris, Jan. 9.-In view of the statements
of the Republican press, corroborated
by the utterances of the Novoe Vremya
of st. Petersburg, that the Franco-Russian
alliance is practically ended, the messages
passing to-day between the French minis
ter of foreign affairs, NJ. Delcasse, and
the Russian minister of foreign affairs,
Count Lamsdorff, attain more. than usual
significance. NJ. Delcasse, congratulating
Count Lamsdorf on his appointment as
minister of foreign affairs, recalls their
close personal friendship which he be-
lieves will be utilized for the common in
terests of their countries. Count Lams-
dorff expresses a sincere desire to con-
tribute to the consolidation of the unal-
terable friendship which has united the
two countries.

"allies" are not contained in the dis
