GREAT INTEREST IN
TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS
Astonishing Result Revealed
in War on Disease.

BERLIN. Oct. 25.-Great interest was
felt throughout Europe in the first meet
ing of the International tuberculosis con-
gress at Berlin this week.
Some of the proceedings were too
technical for popular discussion, but as
tonishing results are already recorded in
conquering the deadliest maledy of the
human race. Thus, the English delegate
reported that the death rate in the Uni
ted Kingdom in 1888 from consumption
was 3s per 1000. This has been reduced
To 13, or more than 60 per cent.
The delegates to the congress yester-
day visited the great public sanitoria in
the pine forests, an hours ride from
Berlin They found there not only the
finest modern equipment for the cure of
the disease, but what Prof. Brouardel,
of Paris, described as an entirely novel
and momentous experiment in the realm
of social policy. These great institu-
tions provide every accommodation at
public expense to working-cla victims
of this scourge.
The delegates were very much i'm
pressed, and the English representative
declared his intention TO induce a depu-
tation of English workmen friendly so
cieties to visit the sanitorias.

would in course of time become the
brightest jewel of the colonial empire
of the Kaiser, in the same way that
British India is to the English crown,
while Teuton maps and school aliases
have even been printed representing the
Dutch Indies as belonging TO Germany.
Queen Wilhelmina is married to Ger
man prince who, until two years ago.
was q soldier in the Kaiser's army, and
it is therefore only natural that En-
peror William, who. both as president

But not even the friendship which ex

CURIOUS FEATURES OF
THE BUB0N|C PLAGUE
America and Europe Need
Not Fear Scourge.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-The government
has just issued volume giving the re-
suits OF the investigation of the bubonic
plague In all parts of the world for three
years.
vestigators do not expect the reappear-
ance of the scourge in severe form in
Europe or America.
The most curious feature seems to be
that the disease must, II it can be so
explained, become acclimatized before it
can become seriously epidemic. The
plague. when 1t first appeared in new
field, often presented curious resem-
blances to some commonplace current
malay. such as influenza, enteric fever,
or malaria.
Repeated mistakes were made in the
diagnosis at the beginning of outbreaks,
not only where the plague was not
looked for. but in countries where the
officials and practitioners were alert in
watching for 1t, and believed that they
were prepared to detect it's immediate
appearance. The confusion arising from
this was such as to almost suggest the
mimicry of indigenous maladies by the
plague On transportation to new soil.
The records tend to confirm the be-
lief that man and rat are reciprocally
infcctive. yet they fail completely to af-
ford sufficient data for determining the
degree that man is in danger through
the rat In some localities man and rat
suffered at the same time. In other To-
calities the man suffered before the rat,
and in still others the rat was attacked
first. Moreover. when in a particular
district either man or rat was the first
TO suffer the interval between the in
vasion from the first to the second
species has often been long, extending
for weeks and months.
Finally it would appear that the
plague may prevail largely among men
without rats being affected, and. con-
versely, among rats without men being
affected.

REVOLT IMMINENT AMONG THE
NATIVES OF DUTCH EAST INDIES

East Indies. Nor is this all The gov
ernment, not content with exacting
forced labor for its own works. occa-
sionally places "corvee" labor at the dis
posal of colonists from Europe who wish
to start new industries in Java, and
there are numerous cases of sugar mills,
for instance, having been set up by men
who have come out from home and who
have been assisted by the local authori
ties to the extent of having during the
first two years a constant supply of
forced labor furnished. the government,
of course, receiving quid pro quo later
On in the shape of royalties and special
dues.
Were the Jaw
Javanese Fiercest anese of the mild
of All the B e galese type
Oriental Paces one would be able
to un d e stand
their submitting to this degree OF servi-
tude. But. as stated above, they
are recognized as the fiercest OF Orien-
tai races, and as the people least dis
posed to any friendly understanding with
white and Christian nations. That they
should have put up with it until lately
Is perbaps In a measure attributable to
the fact that it was the continuation in
a milder form by the Dutch of the tyr
amy to which they had been subjected
by their native rulers. But during the
last quarter of century. and more es-
pecially of late, the Dutch have lost
prestige among the natives. The latter
have seen that the Hollanders, notwith-
standing the expenditure of considerably
over 500, 000. eco and the loss of $4,000 of
their troops have been unable TO reduce
the Achinese to submission. the Dutch
forces having, indeed, become so oemor-
allied by the native methods of warfare
that the home government no longer al
lows any portion of the regular home
army to be used for this particular serv>
ice, employing for the purpose foreign
soldiers of fortune recruited from all
parts of the world, including the United
States, and Dutch volunteers. The Jaw
anese have naturally come to the con-
clusion that since the Dutch are unable
to obtain the mastery over the Achinese.
there is no reason why they should be
permitted to retain 1t over the native
population of the other portions of the
archipelago, including Java, for the Ach-
inese and the Javanese belong to very
much the same race and - the same
faith-namely that of the Prophet Mo-
hammed Indeed, the Islam revival in
northern Africa and in Arabia has prob
ably contributed to the native unrest in
the Dutch Indies, for the Moslem clergy
throughout the archipelago are exceed
ipgly fanatical, and the annual pilgrim
age to Mecca from Java is a very large
one.
Let me add that during the last ten
years several weli-meant efforts have
been made to modify the conditions of
forced labor in the island. But these
have taken the form of substituting a
heavy poll tax for the "corvee," and as
the impost is looked upon by most of the
natives as quite as oppressive as the
labor, and as. moreover, the
Dutch government alone gets the benafit
of the tax, whereas the colonist loses
the advantage of the "corvee," the re-
forms have had the effect only of in

cHiLD's LIFE WORTH THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN IOWA
State Supreme Court Decides That
Award of $1,000 Exceeds Dam

DIES MONIES. Iowa. Oct. 25.-In a
case appealed from Webster county court
the supreme court decided that in this
State the recovery of damages for the
loss of life of a child under five years
of age cannot exceed $4,000.
In the original trial of the case before
Judge S. NJ. Weaver, who is now a men,
Der of the supreme bench. the jury re-
turned verdict Of $4,000. This Judge
Weaver cut to $4,000.
The supreme court reversed the judg
ment, stating that the damages to the
parents from the loss of the child could
not exceed $4,000. Mrs. A. w. Hiveley,
of Webster county, is the loser.
The suit was against the county.
