ROCKEFELLER TO
BUILD INSTITUTE
HIS PLANS EMBRACE A SCHEME
FOR MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGY
CAL RESEARCH WHICH WILL BE
WITHOUT EQUAL IN AMERICA.

New York, February 21.-Dr. l. Emmett
Holt, secretary of the board of directors
of the Rockefeller institute, made public
tonight the detailed plans of the project
as far as they have been determined.
These plans embrace a scheme for an
institution of medical and pathological re-
search which, 1t is said, will be without
an equal in America and unexcelled in
the world. The gifts of John d. Rock
efeller to the institute, thus far aggre~
eating $1,2OOOOO, are merely a beginning
and the understanding is that Rockefel-
Ter stands ready to finance the institu-
tion for any amount necessary to carry
out the work
The institute will occupy four city
blocks between the East river and Ave
nue. and Sixtieth and Sixty-fourtn
streets.
The present plans according to the
announcement of Dr. Holt, call for the
immediate erection of laboratory for
investigation in all departments of meeii-
cal research; the building of hospital
in which special groups of patients may
be treated to develop new methods for
the treatment of disease. Popular lee
lures and new medical journal will
also be established Dr. Holt says that
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., also is interest
ed in the plan, but denies that the insti-
tuition is intended as a memorial to the
elder Rockefeller's grand son, Jack
Mccormick, who died a year and a half
ago. The gifts of $1,000, 600 were made by
Mr.. Rockefeller in 1901.
DR.. Holt, in his statement, reviews the
work of organizing the institute and con-
firms the story that Prof. Simon Flexner,
professor of pathology in the University
of Pennsylvania, has been chosen direc-
tor of the laboratory. DIR. Flexner will
begin his work at the institute in July.
He will spend the greater part of his
first year in Europe, during the construc-
ton of the laboratory building in New
York This building will be started so
as to be ready for occupancy on October
l. 1904

could be accomplished with democratic
President and congress.
1t seems to be undoubtedly true that
the republicans are all eady turning their
guns upon the supposed candidacy of
Judge Parker, all of which ought to be q
strong factor In his favor and will help
lin.
The point just at present is an attack
pom Judge Parker through the declara-
ton that he is very friendly to the trusts
end the combinations will be behind him
for the nomination In 1904 and then for
his electon. There is studious attempt
to create this impression, and even PresI-
dent Roosevelt is said to he talking To
! is congrt ssioral callers about the trusts
being behind Judge Parker, as If the
trusts felt injured at anything the pres
ont republican administration has done.

Fight Was Small Affair.

WlIemstad, February 21.-Advices re-
ceived here from revolution sources at
Tucacas. Venezuela, say the recent en-
gagement between revolutionists and the
government forces in the neighborhood
of Barquisimeto was a small affair, and
the government troops who intended to
force their way through the center of the
revolutionists were driven back. All the
victories recently claimed by the Venez-
uelan government are, according to adj
vices received here absolutely false.

Dresden, February 2.-The report pub

American dentist is seeking divorce on
account of the relations of her husband
with the former Crown Princess Louise
of Saxony appears to be revivihcation
of the gossip at the time of the princess

concerned seems wholly unbiased. In fact
the dentist here did teach the princess to
ride and charged time for so doing at the

he would just as soon wheel with the
crown princess as work on her teeth

Washington, February 21.-The senate
spent nearly the entire day in executive
session. 1t was the legislative day of
Thursday as the senate had taken re-

met at II o'clock, opened the doors at
II o'clock, and for more than an hour
disposed of routine business consisting of
the presentation of petitions and reports

of the unobjected bills on the calendar.
Upon resuming the executive session the
Colombian canal treaty was taken up
Senator Quay had a report read and SEN
ator Pettus spoke at some length. Sena-
tor Platt of Connecticut also discussed
the treaty.
At 1880 the senate adjourned until Mon
day at IL o'clock.
THE HOUSE,
The day in the house was devoted to
debate upon the Fowler currency bill.
Mr.. Fowler, the author of the measure,
spoke for over two hours.
The other speakers were Messrs. Thay-
er of Massachusetts, Lowering of Massa-
chusetts, Lewis Of Georgia and Prince OF
Illinois The general conviction that the
bill has no chance to become a law and
the fact that there are divergent views
on both sides of the house detracted from
the interest in the debate.

to read the papers, and to sun oneself

In a cafe, the refreshment is an ex-

cafe tables that the red-handed ones

pose and politeness, where the women
mingled in equality with men.
The tone of the cafes rose through
the Directory and the Empire. They
became the natural clubs and smoking
