The CAUSE OF YELLOW FEVER.

A day or two ago Surgeon General
wyman OF the Marine Hospital Ser
vice announced that the yellow fever
experts at Vera Cruz, who have been
diligently seeking the cause of yellow
fever since the disease. made its APP
pearance there a couple of months
ago, had been successful in their
search. OF course at the time he made
this announcement he was not in a
position to speak positively. He based
what he said upon information he had
received from his assistants at Vera
Cruz.
It will be recalled that when our
army occupied Havana a series of ex-
periments were conducted with the
view of discovering the cause OF yell
low fever. The conclusion from these
experiments was that the fever was
transmitted from one person to another
by the mosquito. and that it could not
be transmitted by contact with yellow
fever patients or clothing or by breath
ing the air of apartments in which yell
low fever patients were being treated.
preston from reading accounts of
these experiments that the mosquito
was the cause of the fever. Unless
we are mistaken 1t was never the pur-
pose of the Marine Hospital Service to
convey that impression. There was
clear distinction made between the
cause of the fever and the means by
which it was spread.
There is very naturally great inter-
est within the medical profession and
outside of it to learn what the experts
at Vera Cruz have discovered. It is
to be hoped that what they have to
convey will not be disappointing. 1t
may be that they have made an i'm
portant discovery--a discovery that
viii rob the fever of its terrors. If the
cause of the fever has been discovered
il will not be long before there will
be a specific for it on which absolute
reliance can be placed.
1t is safe to say, however, that the
medical profession will not accept a
has been found until il has been clear
~ demonstrated that the alleged cause
is the true one. The effort to find the
cause has been so persistent through
many years. and so unsuccessful. that
there is a great deal of doubt as to
whether 1t will ever be found. There
fore only proof of the most positive
kind will put an end to the discussion
of the subject. Surgeon General wy
man is a very conservative man. He
would not have made the announce
ment he did if he had not been pretty
we'll satisfied of its truth.

That the financial center of the world
has moved from London to New York
is shown in a comparative statement
of the clearings of the banks of the
two cities. published few days ago.
The statement included transactions
for the three months of January, Feb
ruary and March, 1902. The daily
average clearings of the New York
banks for these three months were 45
per cent. greater than those of Lon
don. The New York daily average
was $3.50, 97S,755. against $159. 7SS,S93 for
London. During the three months
New York's clearings were $17,7S5, 1884,
1S2. against $12.SOS, 744.SO4 for London.
New York's clearings began to mount
up in 1897, since which date they have
steadily increased until for the first
three months of the current year they
were 166 per cent. in advance of the
cIearings for the corresponding
months of 1897. During the same pc
riod of time the London clearings in
creased 80 per cent.

SECRETARY sHAw's MISTAKE.

1t was the general understanding
when Mr.. Shaw was made Secretary of
the Treasury that he was a man of
great discretion, and that whenever he
talked 1t would be on a subject with
which he was acquainted.
He recently made a bad blunder in
connection with the customs law which
permits travellers to bring into this
country 500 worth of clothing free of
duty, but nothing else duty free.
Secretary Shaw has been sympathiz-
ing with, the travellers who have been
complaining of this law, and in an in
terview in the New York Herald he
stated that Americans travelling in
Europe might bring 800 worth of any
thing they pleased free of duty. even
if it were "a bale of hay" Perhaps
the Secretary thought that that refer
ence to a bale of hay was a touch of
humor that would bring HIM closer to
the hearts of the great American peo-
pie, particularly that part of the peo-
pie travelling abroad.
The interview was scattered all over
ny Tie III 10 I10ldlQ anu llolN-
elers are now coming home with empty
pocket books and their 800 worth of
truck, none of it, as a rule, being wear
ing apparel as required by law. And
the custom house is collecting the duty
on the stuff, Notwithstanding Secre-
tary Shaw's interview. What these
returning travellers are saying about
the Secretary wouldn't look we'll in
print. He ought to have known he
couldn't change the law. Only Congress
can do that. The fact is. he thought
the custom house officers could stretch
| the law a little if they were so dis
posed, but they decided they couldn't
or they wouldn't. That left the Secre-
| tary in a rather unpleasant position,
| but Ii taught him a lesson.

for permitting Capt. Hobson to go

the navy is regarded as something of

Hobson is enlightening such communi-
