BROOKLYN CULTURE OVENS.
MANY HOURS SAVED IN DIAGNOSING
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES THERE.

station for the incubation OF cultures has
been opened in Brooklyn. 1t is under the su-
pervision Of the Department OF Health This
step may be the means OF saving the lives OF
people stricken with dphtheria and other con-
tagious diseases, ii is thought. The Kings
County Medical Society and another medical
organization in the same county recently adopt
ed resolutions that committees be appointed TO
call Mayor Low and DR.. Ernest ]. Lederle
Health Commissioner, to urge the building of
meteorological laboratory in Brooklyn One OF
the organizations placed itself on record as be-
ing strongly Of the opinion that the failure to
build such a laboratory In Brooklyn had proba-
bly, cost many lives. Under the old system,
cultures left at the various stations in
Brooklyn, and the next day, or at least many
hours after collections We're made. they were
placed in the incubator ovens at the bacteria
logical laboratory in Manhattan. The bringing
OF the cultures here, it was said delayed the OBJ
tanning of results and a person who
thought to be suffering from diphtheria might
die from that disease while the attending physi-
clan was waiting to get report on the culture
DR.. Lederle received communications from the
societies several days ago, and appointed ply
sican to confer with the committees of the or
ganizations. This conference led TO the opening
of the incubation station in Kings County. At
first request made by several physicians
that an examination of the cultures be begun
the day on which they were placed in the ovens
Those who would be responsible for the
curacy OF the tests said 1t would be impossible
to get true tests under such conditions. So the
cultures are left in the incubation ovens just
built in Brooklyn, for from twenty-four TO about
twenty-siS hours. Then they are brought TO the
laboratory in Manhattan, a physician has been
assigned to make the tests on these cultures
His work each day begins at about a. nl., and
the reports on the cultures are ready the day
following the collections. DR.. Lederle said yes
terday that other arrangements would be made
If this was not satisfactory.

CANAL NOT YET IN SIGHT.
ISTHMIAN WATERWAY QUESTION MAY
NOT BE DECIDED IN THIS con-
GRESS SESSION.
[BY TELEGRAPH T, THE TRIBUNE. !

Washington Feb. "A silence that is gem
orally regarded as ominous continues to brood
over the isthmian canal question. For more
than week Senator Morgan, chairman of the
Interoceanlc Canal Committee, has refused TO
discuss any phase of the subject. and other
members of the committee are equally reticent.
Even Senator Hanna who is known to be OPP
posed to the hasty action insisted upon by MT
Morgan and other uncompromising advocates
of the Hepburn Nicaragua bill, now declines TO
talk the subject.
A member of the committee, It is interesting
TO note, is responsible for the statement that
Mr.. Hanna has assured Mr.. Morgan that If the
majority OF the committee desire to report the
Hepburn bill favoraby at this session, he VIII
join with them and try to make the committees s
action unanimous. The committee has done
nothing for a week so far known, and In TACT
Senator Morgan has not asked for meeting
1t is believed. however. that he will call meet
ing early this week and attempt to make some
progress with the work in hand.
AS nothing new has been learned Of the ability
of the French owners OF the Panama Canal to
make clear title of that property TO the United
States, il cannot he guessed what progress the
committee could make should it meet this week
It Is significant. though that the representatives
of the French company say they are more san
guine of success at present than they have ever
been This may indicate that they have sue
ceeded in alIaying in important quarters all
doubt TO their ability to give a satisfactory
title to their rights and property in Panama.
If this proves to be the there is little DOUBT
that the Senate would accept the French prop
osition. if Senator Morgans committee
should report adversely TO it. The Walker
commissions recommendation OF the Panama
route is too strong to be overcome by mere IN
sistence in the Senate for the selection of the
Nicaragua route, but this variant view would
probably be sufficient to postpone definite action
the canal proposition until the next session
OF Congress and perhaps for a year or more
In support of this assertion 1t can he stated as
a fact of Importance that no pressure from any
influential source is now being brought to bear
upon Congress for immediate action
While il is true that the President heartily
favors the construction Of an isthmian waterway
to be owned and controlled by the government.
II appears certain that he is anxious 10 get all
possible light on the subject before urging the
lawmakers to further final action. 1t Is
known that the President now has an open mind
to the routes and that he may recommend a
resurvey and thorough investigation OF all
propositions before forming a Judgment. When
his attitude becomes we'll known 1t is not
doubted that he will be enthusiastically sup
ported by the leaders both of the Senate and
House. This view of the situation shows that
Congress still Is a long way from final action
on the canal question.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
PHILIPPINE AND JUDICIAL SALARY
BILLS IN SENATE-TAX RE-
PEAL IN HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 2-For the most part the
Senate will divide its time this week between
the Philippine Tariff bill and the bill increasing
the salaries of members of the federal 1u-
dietary The salary bill is in charge of Senator
Hoar. and will be considered in the morning
hour of the Senate each day until 1t is disposed
Of while the Philippine bill. which is in the
hands of Senator Lodge. will continue to have
right of way as the unfinished business after :
o'clock of each day. The salary bill will be the
subject only of running debate. but q number
of set speeches will be made on the other
measure, Among the Senators who will be
heard during the week are Messrs. Teller, Tur-
ner. Carmack and Culberson. II is not probable
that the debate on the Philippine bill will be
concluded during the week.
The friends of the Judicial Salary bill hope to
conclude its consideration at a comparatively
early day. They say that Senator Stewards
amendment increasing the salaries Of Senator'S
and members of Congress will be unceremoni-
ously voted down
On Monday Senator Hale, from the Committee
on Appropriations, will report the urgent Deh-
cheney Appropriation bill. and ask 10 have 1t
considered on the following day. The amend
ments in this bill providing for the entertain
ment of Prince Henry and the expenses Of this
country incident TO the coronation, may lead to
some discussion, but no doubt is entertained of
PLANS FOR WORK IN HOUSE.
This promises to be an interesting week in the
House. The Oleomargarine bill has been made
a special continuing order for tomorrow, and
after It is disposed of. which probably will be
Tuesday. the bill for the repeal of the war
revenue taxes will follow. While both sides are
unanimous in favor OF the repeal of these taxes.
it is the intention of the Democrats to open up
the whole tariff question during the debate on
this bill, and they will make a strong night for
ample time for discussion.
The question of Cuban reciprocity is also
likely 70 be debated at length, members on
both sides of the House are anxious to define
their positions.
The friends OF the Oleomargarine bill have
doubt of its passage. They regard the vote on
the adoption of the special order last Friday as
practically test vote The bill is practically
the old Grout bill. imposing tax OF 10 cents
pound products Colored in imitation of but
ter. and making retail dealers who color oleo-
margarine subject to the same penalties as the
manufacturers.

Philadelphia Feb. e.-''The Ledger in its coal
article tomorrow will say:
The anthracite coal trade was again obstructed
by the heavy SHOWS last week. which interfered
with the movement OF coal to market. The demand

supply or steam sizes pea coal being very scarce
and In urgent request. Prices are stifiy held and
this condition Is expected TO continue until spring
