PiERcEs THE HEART.
vivisectionist Able to Administer
Local Treatment.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-After a series of
experiments covering a period OF
more than five years, DR.. w. Byron
Coakley, a well known .vivisectionist
OF Chicago, has just discovered that
to administer local treatment to the
heart is not the impossibility the
worlds scientists have always held
it to be.
By means of a fine, hollow golden
needle, seven or eight inches long
which he terms the ''orfanotone," DR.
Coakley not only has been able to
pierce the heart without causing
death, but to inject into it various
fluids without %subjecting the patient
to- the slightest danger. Thus far DR.
Coakley has been compelled to con
fine his experiments to dogs, rab'
bits and similar animals, but so Ger.
tain is he of his ground that he will
attempt t. ecure a human subject
for demonstration, which he has been
asked TO make DeIOfe the lnCernaLlOn
al Medical congress at Madrid, Spain
in 1903.
While at work over a dog, recently
the doctor conceived the idea of in
jecting a salt solution into the ami
mails heart. To his surprise the dog
not only withstood the shock, but the
heart action was Immediately greatly
improved. This led him to make
more extended Investigations, and
these resulted in verification of his
first experiment. Weak dogs, sick
dogs, and strong, healthy dogs were
used in experiments, and. it is said
there was not one that did not sur
vive the injections.

Oil LADEN CRAFT CONSUMED IN
SIGHT OF HARBOR.
FISHING BOATS PASS NEAR
Temptesuous Weather Prevents Life
Saving Crew from Reaching
the Burning Vessel.

Gloucester, Mass, Dec. 22.-It is
believed that a large vessel, either
a tank steamer with oil, or a sailing
craft loaded with some highly in
fammable material, was burned to-
night in Massachusetts, bay, about 90
miles outside of Boston harbor. The
l~ife-saving crew from West Gloucester
made a strong effort to reach her
but a stiff southeast gale drove them
back, when they were still 10 miles
away from the burning ship.
About 1920 o'clock two Boston
fishermen came into port and report
ed that they passed within two miles
of a burning vessel, but did not at
tempt to ascertain her identity. The
crew of one of them which passed to
the leeward, reported smelling burn
ing oil and stated that the vessel was
a very large one. They were unable
to say, however, whether she was a
steamer or a sailing vessel, but they
thought the former. The fishermen
passed the burning vessel about $3.50
o'clock, but at 1920 she could still be
seen from the shore burning fiercely.
The vessel was first noticed about
4 o'clock this afternoon by Keeper
Bailey of the Eastern Point light, at
the entrance of this harbor. At that
time the vessel apparently was en-
veloped in thick smoke and Bailey
had been watching her for only a few
minutes when there came a sudden
explosion, followed by flames. Bailey
notified the Delivers Neck life-saving
crew, who at once started for the
ship. But the weather was tempestu-
GUS and after getting some 10 miles
off shore, and still a considerable dis
lance from the burning vessel, they
became exhausted and turned back.
Just before they did so, they saw a
small schooner, evidently a fisher
man, run up close to the vessel and,
after lingering a few minutes, sail
away. This led them to believe that
she had been able to rescue some of
the crew.
It was hoped that this fisherman
might make for this port and clear
up the mystery, but she did not.
About 1920 o'clock tonight the
Boston schooners Gertrude and En-
ma w. Brown came in, both having
passed within a short distance of the
burning vessel, but neither was able
to give her name or tell of the fate
of the crew. Both agreed that the
vessel was q. large one and that she
looked like a tank steamer.

DESIGNS.
Would Force America to Modify Mon.
roe Doctrine.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 22.-Col. L. M.
Scruggs Of Atlanta was today inter
viewed on the subject Of the Vene-
Zuelan imbroglio. Colonel Scruggs
was appointed as minister to Vene.
Zuela by President Harrison and
served from 1889 to 1893. For four
years after that date he represented
Venezuela in its boundary dispute
with Great Britain. He said in part:
cit is evidently Germany's design
to see how far she can go without
becoming involved in actual war with
the United States. In fact she wants
to force our hand on the Monroe doc
trine and make us say whether we
are willing to modify it or assume re.
sponsibility for acts of countries that
are 10 a certain extent under our pro.
lection.
while, in my opinion, the Monroe
doctrine will be in nowise affected
by the present affair, because there
seems to be every prospect for a
~peaceable and satisfactory settlement
through the United States as an arbi
traitor, the issue will have to be faced
sooner or later. The world is get
ting so populous that the settlement
Of those rich South American coun
tries cannot longer be delayed. Il
European governments cannot &C
quire territory in South America thei1
subjects will continue nevertheless
to go there. The result will be thai
the United States will be called upor
to do M Of two things; either they
must abandon or greatly modify the
Monroe doctrine, so that European
nations a adequately protect thei1
own subjects, or they must assume
a sort of suzerainty over these Soutl
American republics and become re
,sponsible for their good behavior
Neither horn of the dilemma is pleas
ant to contemplate"

YACHT TO FLOAT IN APRIL.
Enough Metal at the Herreshoffs to
Keep Workmen Busy.

Bristol, Dec. 22.-There is every in
dication that the launching of the new
cup defender, now under way at
Bristol, will take place early next
April.
The metal for the boats hull has
arrived in such quantities that the
Herreshoffs have enough to keep every
one busy for several weeks, and by
that time the remainder will have
reached there.
Judging from the appearance of the
bronze plates, it is probable they
were given a polish before they were
sent to the mills.
Plates a quarter of an inch thick
will be used on the cardboard and adj
joining strakes. Plates thinner than
that will be used to sheath the sides
of tn. lead keel and in the region of
the bilges.

arbitration of President Roosevelt

arbitration of President Roosevelt
himself.
Signs point to the presidents ulti-
mate acceptance Of the trust, though
nothing positive is yet known on this
point. The state department has
learned that President Castro would
welcome the selection of President
Roosevelt as arbitrator, and as all
the parties interested are united, the
pressure will be hard to resist.
Opinion varies as to the termina-
ton OF the blockade. of the. Vene-
zuelan ports. In some quarters it is
assumed that if President Roosevelt
accepts the duty Of arbitrator, the al
lies will call off the blockade at once.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that custom requires the terms Of the
arbitration to be accurately defined
and this will consume some time,
pending which the blockade will con
tinue.

DELAYED BY BLIZZARD.
Roads in Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas

Denver, Dec. 22.-The blizzard that
ragged on Friday and Saturday in
eastern Colorado and Wyoming and
western Kansas and Nebraska, was
the most serious in years to the rail
roads as far as the interruption Of
traffic is concerned.
All trains on the Union Pacific and
Burlington roads were delayed at
least "a hours and some trains due
yesterday morning are just getting
into Denver tonight. This is true of
trains over the Kansas City branch
of the Union Pacific. Along this line
snow drifts from six to ten feet deep
made the movement of trains impos-
sible until the track could be cleared.
The Worst Storm.
Perhaps the storm was most severe
on the Denver and Alliance branch
of the Burlington road. This line
runs to the Black Hills, and trains
which left Denver on Friday were
only released from their wedged posi-
ton in the drifts today. One train
which was completely hidden from
sight by the snow, was relieved by
snow plows from Alliance, Neb.
A supply train vas run from Mere
err, Neb., with fuel and provisions to
provide for the needs of the imprison'
ed passengers.
1t required the hardest work mag
Unable to reach the stalled train
through the binding storm and al
most impenetrable drifts. The atten,
ton of the railroad officials today has
been directed almost exclusively to
getting trains going on schedule time
again, and by tomorrow it is expected
that the usual conditions on the Bur.
lington and Union Pacific will prevail.

ARRIVES IN COLORADO TO MAKE
FIGHT FOR REELECTION.
THE REPUBLICAN ASp!RANTS
Goudy Claims to Be Well in the Lead
Much Depends on the
Contests.

Denver, Colo, Dec. Ex-senator
Henry M. Teller arrived here from
Washington today to spend the Chris
mas holidays and to look after his in
terests in the contest for reelection.
The state legislature, which will con.
vene January !, will select a success
sor to succeed Teller.
In addition 10 Teller, the announce
ment is made as candidates of former
Senator Wolcott, Frank G. Goudy, of
Denver, District Judge Walter N. Dix.
on Of Pueblo, and Irving Howbert, OF
Colorado Springs. Teller claims the
entire democratic vote on joint bal.
lot, and will likely get it, as there is
no one opposing him in the demo
cratic party. The remaining four
candidates will divide the republican
support.
Cloudy claims to have pledged about
two-thirds of the republican members
of the legislature and this claim is
said by we'll informed leaders to be
not too sanguine. A great deal de
ponds upon the outcome of contests
now before the state c%anvassins
board. Should the democrats be seat
ed, the house will stand democrats
80, republicans SO. On the canvass
ing board are two populists, elected
through fusion with democrats.
Failure to accpet propositions fol
fusion at the recent election made by
populists has placed the democrat:
in an attitude of u%nfriendly relation
ship with the populist party and it i!
feared they will avenge themselves
now through their representatives OF
the canvassing board. The sickness
of Representative-elect Jones, repub
lican, at Hot Springs, Ark, also com
| plicates matters. Should he be com
PEELED to remain away, and the demo
Gratis be seated, the vote in the hous'
would be a tie.

and four of her children, accompanied
by their host, Mr.. Joseph Wilmer,
The party left the Wilmer mansion

ed cordially by the pastor and the
few members of the parish, the intro

WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE
BONA FIDE SETTLERS MAY HOLD
THEIR LAND.
Rules Will BE Enforced on Absarokee
Forest Reserve-No Sheep
to Be Allowed.

Red Lodge, Dec. 22.-W. Fl. Pearce
of Cody, Wyo., supervisor of the Vel
lowstone and Absarokee forest re-
serves, has gone to the western part
of Carbon county to make an inspec-
ton of the range and homestead con-
ditions Of the latter reserve, which
has just been placed under his con-
troll. The report Mr.. Pearce makes
to the interior department will be
the basis of new regulations to be pro-
mulgated by the department for the
government of stockmen and ranch
ers, and naturally people on the west
side are greatly interested.
"In the first place, it is certain
that there will be no sheep allowed
On the reserve" said Mr.. Pearce.
"Those who made a bona fide resi-
dence on the reserve before it was
segregated will be allowed to make
homestead application within 80
days after the survey is made, but
those who have gone on since the
creation of the reserve, or those who
are attempting to hold land by having
purchased the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
bona fide settlers, will all be sum-
marily elected.
mo one will be allowed to cut more
than $40 worth of timber, and that
only for the ranch improvements. The
supervisor can issue a permit for that
much. Any larger quantity requires
a permit from the secretary of the in
terror. l do not believe the cattle
and horse interests will be at all af-
fected by the new regulations"
Considerable interest is manifested
over the probable appointment of a
| superintendent of the Absarokee re-
serve, a position that pays $1,000 a
year. 1t is claimed that E. S. Gar
Der of Sheridan, Wyo., will in all
probability receive the appointment.
He will then have to recommend six
or eight rangers, whose salaries will
be from $50 to $50.
