The Eucalyptus Cure for Consumption.

According to n report recently sent
from Berlin by Consul General Frank H.
Mason the experiments with the new
Eucalyptus treatment for consumption
now being made by the medical society
of Berlin have already resulted in the
curing of so out of 100 patients treated in
that city. The subjects were all taken
from the poorer classes of the popuace,
many of them living in the most unsan-
itary of dwellings, so that the expert
ments may be said to have been conduc-
ted under the most eXacting conditions.
For six months past the experiments
have excited widespread interest among
the medical fraternity of Berlin. The
new treatment consists of the inhalation
of the combined fumes of eucalyptus and
charcoal, the principle being really one
of fumigation, and the first effect being
TO modify the cough OF the tuberculous
patient. The discovery seems to have
been first made by the natives of a GER
tain section OF Australia, who drink a
decoction made boiling the leaves and
roots OF the eucalyptus tree as a rem
edy for consumption.

Authentic Information on Philippine
Affairs

Mr.. Arthur Stanley Riggs, an American
journalist who has been successfully the
editor of The Manila Daily Bulletin q"
and the Manila Freedom " contributes
to the August number of the Atlantic
Monthly an interesting and valuable let
ter from the Philippines. Mr. Riggs eve
is neither blinded by an ideal nor jaun-
diced by prejudice. He is far from think
ing the Filipino quite the polished gen.
tleman and devoted patriot that he has
seemed TO some writer's. but on the other
hand, he is equally far from thinking that
his case is without hope. 1t is because of
this justice and moderation of view that
this hrst-hand and intelligent account Of
the complexities of the actual situation
has such extreme valve to serious stu
dents of Philippine affairs.

Forcih!e Possession of q
Train,

Arcola, H., Jan. 12.-Saturday was
day of rare excitement in Arcola.
For two weeks the city and surround

of fuel famine. This was broken
when an Illinois Central train, con-
sisting of sixteen cars of coal, billed
for Chicago, was stopped by crowd
of two hundred citizens and confiscat-
ed. In the crowd were two pastors
of local churches, the presidents of
both banks, one policeman, and many
other prominent citizens.
Every team in this section of the
country was doing dray duty and the
families who had stood most in need
of fuel have coal to burn. The coal
was distributed in ton lots. Practi-
cally one-half the people Of the city
were out Of fuel and the others were
running their stoves on half rations,
as the dealers have been unable to get
any coal for the past month. The ac-
tion of the citizens in confiscating the
train of coal in order to relieve the
distressing condition has the approval
of all, unless 1t is the owners of the
coal

President Objected.

Mckinley had not forbidden It," Gen
eral Adna r. Chaffee said in an ad-
dress at the Hamilton club in Brook
lyn, where he was the guest of honor
at dinner in commemoration of the
birthday of Alexander Hamilton, ''he
would have seized treasure worth
sS0,000,000 when he was in command

treasure in the forbidden city and

osition. 1t was his intention to hold
any amount that might be settled up
on as a proper indemnity and return
the remainder to the Chinese govern
ment
