Mr. Beveridge SITS Down.
Mr. Beyeridge sat down.
Mr.. Patterscn-I do not know if what
the Senator frcm Nebraska would say is
true or not. 1t is to be presumed that
it is true. but that has nothing 20 dc

Mr.. Dietrich. meanwhile. had sat down
and he did not complete his statement.
few minutes before o'clock Sena-
tor McComas again referred to the Incl
dent and proceeded TO instance several
cases where charges have been made
against American officers by witnesses
before the Philippine Committee. which
he said. the Democrats had fully sane
toned.
Remarks That Cause Trouble.
Mr.. Dietrich then rose and returned
Mr.. Patterson's fire.
The reason did not say anything
more in answer to the Senator from Col
orado was because / knew that his SYM
nathy with all attacks on the American
army has been so marked that any
thing that he might say would have nc
weight with the American people
Mr.. Bailey rose quickly and demanded
that the words of the Senator be taken
down.
.sThe Senator is entirely out Of order.
His statement is in violation Of the rules
Of the Senate.
The clerk read Mr.. Dietrich's state

The Presidents Reasons.
What other reason Mr.. Berry ask
ed could the President give except that
/ he hoped to excite the people of the
United States and have them believe that
the Senators who opposed the Philip
pines policy were attacking the army Of
the United States? 1t is unfair. 1t is
not correct. II does not represent the
sentiment on this side of the chamber. ''
| Mr. Carmack made two speeches dur
\ ing the day. He read a number of clip
pings in one OF them, and in the other
again denounced the alleged atrocities
l in the Philippines.
| MIR. Quarles spoke of the debate on the
bill being a great one; one of marked
ability on both sides; but he denounced
the Democratic side of it as being a

Iuoyf THE MEDICAL MEN.

Dr. Schwenipger. who gained renown by re-
ducing the weight Of Prince Bismarck "hen
other physicians had abandoned the task In de-
spair has been appointed professor OF the his
tory Of medicine in the University Of Berlin
When his name was first proposed for that
coveted distinction the medical and surgical op-
position was so earnest and widespread that
the ambition Of Bismsrcks adviser was de-
feated for years; but he has trtumphed over
his enemies at last. DR.. Schenk, Of Vienna,
who died a few days ago. aroused SO much
hostility among other physicians by bis meth
DDS IN seeking extensive publicity for his the
ories that he was practically driven into exile.
II is not the province Of a secular news
paper to attempt to determine the true rank OF
Schweninger and Schenk among the discov-
erers or the practitioners I'm their profession.
The fact is generally recognized, however, that
many doctors find II difficult to dwell together
in unity. There seem TO be almost as many
dissenslons among them as among lawyers, or
even among actors and singers. In one of the
principal clubs of New-York 1t is an accepted
saying that no physician can be elected to
membership, because the doctors who are al
ready inside insist upon barring the gates
against newcomers. OF course, there Is some
humorous exaggeration in talk Of this SORT
nevertheless the fact remains that few medical
men have been admitted for a considerable
time although lawyers, clergymen, bankers
and authors find entrance comparatively easy
It can hardly be that excessive jealousy into-
erance and unkindness can exist in a profes-
sion whose aims are SO noble and unseltlsh
whose spirit is so lofty and whose work Is Of
such inestmable benefit to humanity.

CITY GOVERNMENT N OHIO.

A special session Of the Ohio legislature will
convene this week to straighten out the con-
fusion caused by the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court declaring the special city charters
masquerading as general laws 10 be unconstitu-
ticnaL Students Of municipal government
everywhere Will watch the result with interest
for single charter is TO be passed not for one
city or even class of cities. but for all the
cities OF the State. The stake is so large that
local schemes good or bad take a subordinate
place while general partisan and business In
terests are aroused 10 keen activity. Governor
Nash, through a commission, has had a scheme
drafted for municipal code which will be pre-
eented to the legislature, and some rival codes
are urged upon attention, well as many
amendments dealing with particular features
of the Nash code. One plan yehemently urged
IS the passage Of a general law under which
cities may make their OVID charters, after the
example Of San Francisco: but the constitution
atty Of this is disputed, the ground that uni
forrnity In the charters not merely general laws
from the legislature, is required.
The most interesting point at issue in the per-
fection OF uniform charter is between State
control and home rule. The Cincinnati police
are ruled by State board, and the attempt to
put the police of Toledo under similar control
resulted in the present tangle. Governor Nash
mas been anxious for a general State police.
Others have been clamoring for a federal sys-
fem by which the Mayor would be the re-
sponsible executive. appointing single heads OF
departments. The opponents of this plan say
that It would put the mayors in control Of po-
itIcai machines of great power On the other
hand, II is said that State boards are the Great
ures Of party machines or of local unofficial
bosses and that if the Mayor does become a
boss he viii at least be elective and re-
sponsible boss. Another controverted question
is the treatment Of municipal service corpora
tions. Mayors johnson of Cleveland and Jones
of Toledo wish the cities 10 have the right to
embark IN lighting and transportation enter
rrises. while the franchise owning corporations
are opposed TO this. AS the street railway fran
ciiises OF Cleveland soon expire, there is also
much anxiety TO 1x the franchise granting
power to secure renewals on favorable terms.
1t seems impossible to take the power from the
local authorities absolutely. but IT is proposed
in case OF disagreement between city and COM
pany, to give the final voice TO the courts-a plan
which is thoroughly vicious in principle. As
yet there is DO indication Of what will be done
about franchises and municipal utilities, nor
even II the provision in the Nash code that pub
lie service corporations shall be taxed per cent
on their gross earnings will be retained. 1t is
proba bic, however, that the governmental
framework proposed by the Nash code will, in
1n chief features at least. be adopted.
Governor Nash has yielded to the objections

own partisans in the Republican cities. He

WAR LOSSES, OLD AND NEW.

Mr Maurice Lows highly interesting analysis
of the cost Of the Boer war and other wars.
recently printed in The Tribune Review, and
an article in The London Chronicle" elaborat-
ing other phases Of the same topic, suggest to
some the conclusion that modern weapons and
methods Of battle have greatly lessened the
number of casualties. That is a welcome con-
cluson, and it may be in measure justified.
But it is probably not as fully justified some
suppose One writer says that 1.-The perfection
+of modern weapons leads to an extraordinary
reduction of casualties" But his statis
tics In The London Chronicle" scarcely bear
out his enthusiastic belief.
Beginning with Marengo he gives statistics Of
the plumber of combatants and the number OF
casualties In twenty-five important battles in
eleven wars, down to the present time. At
Marengo the casualties were 2L7 per cent Of
the whole number Of combatants: at Auster-
litz, 1875; at Jena. II; at Eylau, that "bloodiest
picture in the book of time "a. 3; at Borodino
30; at that worlds earthquake, Waterloo" !"
247; at 1nkerInan. 1873; at Gettysburg. 26.5; at
Sadowa. 6; at Gravelotte, o: at the third battle
Of PIevna, where the Turks moved the Rus
SLAMS down like grain. 1885, at Santiago II: at
Colenso. 5.5; at Paardeberg, 3. and at Spion
Kop 1872 In the last three only the British
combatants and casualties are reckoned, the
number of the Beers nottbeing known.
Now. these figures do show a smaller per-
centage OF casualties in the later than IN the
earlier wars. But the change Is not uniform
and is not always marked. Gettysburg was
more destructive than Waterloo and nearly
twice as costly as Austerlitz. Inkerman was
worse than Jena. Plevna surpassed in destruc-
tiveness most of the Napoleonic battles. Our
fight at Santiago fell little short Of Austerlitz

and Paardeberg were light, but at SpioD Kop
they were heavier than those at Austerlitz at
Jena. at Inkerman. at Sadowa and at Grave
lotte, and fell just short of equalling those at
Plevna. Moreover the writer quoted him.
self says, the Boer losses in these battles were
probably much heavier than the British, and So
IL they were taken into account the proportion
OF casualties in this latest war would tall little
