MORE ISLES in DISPUTE
UNITED STATES ALLEGED TO HAVE
SEIZED BRITISH TERRITORY.
Stars and Stripes Said to Have Been
Hoisted on Two or Three Islands
OF the BOrneO Coast.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The British Foreign
Office is said to have made representations
at Washington anent the recent seizure of
two or three islands off the northeast coast
of British North Bcrneo by the United
States gunboat Quiros. These islands are
not connected with those OF the coast of
San Dakan Capital of British North Bor-
neo) over which the American flag was re-
Gently hoisted.
1t is asserted at the Foreign Office that
the whole question of the islands is now
under consideration at London and in
Washington and that when Foreign Secre-
tary Lansdowne returns arbitration will
be suggested.
The Quiros is stated to have lately visit
ed on the northeast coast of Borneo and
to have thence steamed to Daryl bay, an
important center in Borneo, fifteen miles
southwark. The islands, which have been
under British administration for the last
twenty-five years, were originally infested
by pirates, who were driven out by the
Chartered Company of Borneo. The action
of the Quiros was brought to the attention
of the Foreign Office, which then took the
matter up

FOR ABUSING PRIvATES
EIGHTY GERMAN sERGEANTs CON-

Two Hundred Courts-MartfaI Pending
Effort to stop Brutalities i'm
the German Army.

BERLIN. Sept. 10.-Paragraphs similar to
the following appear almost daily in the
provincial press:
"Cologne-the court-martial of the fif-
teenth division-has sentenced Sergeant
schott TO a year in prison and degrade
ton for logging privates and horsewhip-
ping and kicking them. Twelve artillery
men were sentenced TO short terms for as
s.sting him."
There have been eighty convictions of
sergeants for abuse of privates during the
last three months and about two hundred
courts-martial are pending. The admins
tration OF the army is making the most de-
tsrmined efforts to stop these brutalities,

tailed In a ferocious three hours speech in

reply Of General Won Gossler on the follow

men that little rough treatment was good
for privatea and cultivated manhood in
them. The Emperor never shared these
views nor countananced the crueltles prac-

CAUSE OF LEO'S DEATH
STATEMENT BY PROF CARDARELLI,
AN EMINENT ITALIAN PHYSICIAN.
Late Pope Is Said to Have Died Of Tu-
berculosis Cancer or Right
HydrOthOrax.

ROME, Sept. 10.-Professor Cardarelli,
the eminent physician, who is member of
the Senate. publishes in the Rivista
d'Italia to-day a long article to demon
strate that Pope Leo XIII Died Of tubercu-
losis cancer or right hydrothorax. He forti-
fies his statement with arguments based on
such as Trousseau. Barth, Frankel and Ia
gari to show that all the symptoms Of the
illness of Pope Leo XIII, as stated in off,
ciai bulletins by Drs. Lapponi and Maz-
zoni, lead to the conclusion that the late
Pope was not affected by the pleurisy or
pleuro-pneumonia. Professor Cardarelli af-
firms that from the moment bloody liquid
appears in the pleura and is found through
thoracentesis, especially when the fluid
gathers deceitfully without pain or fever
or manifest cause OF pleurisy, the diagnosis
of pleurisy must be excluded, and that
when the liquid forms in the right pleura
1T usually indicates cancer or hydrothorax
in aged people. There are forms of senile
pleurisy or pneumonia, he continues, in
which fever, pain and cough are lacking,
but these are almost without exception of
a tuberculosis nature. The declaration that
the post-mortem examination confirmed the
diagnosis made by Drs. Lapponi and Mag
zoni the professor declares, is not sufficient
as only careful microscopic examination in
these cases can establish the real affection
of the pleura-
The professors statement concludes as
follows: "Hematic serum gathered deceit
fully without fever, pain or cough in an old
man of ninety-four. with diminishing
strength should have made the doctors
think of cancer of the pleura or tuberculo-
sis hydrothorax, instead of pleurisy, pleuro-
pneumonia or senile pulmonary hepatiza-
ton, but ii is impossible to make a diagno-
sis without having seen .t the patient, and
ture of the composition Of the liquid taken
from the pleura. Faithful to a high pledge
taken, have waited forty days from the
death of the Pope before making this pub
lication."

SENATOR BEvERIDGE's ADDRESS.
Necessity of Maintaining Confidence
Pointed Out to Bankers.

Pointed Out to Bankers.
Senator Beveridge's address. which was
frequently applauded by the bankers, is
here given in full:
1.-The coming session of Congress will not
enact any radical or sweeping financial
legislation. Except in great emergencies
moderation is the word of wisdom in all
legislation OF no class of legislation is
this more true than of financial legislation,
and at no period could this be truer than
at the present moment. The stability of
financial legislation, even though imper-
feet is more desirable than sudden and
comprehensive changes, even though those
changes are toward greater perfection of
our financial system. 1t is important in
dealing with the delicate subject of finance
that all changes, even though they are ad-
vances in the right direction, should be
made with caution. The financial systems
of every country are growths and not
creations. In reviewing the history OF all
legislation in this and other countries 1t
has not been found that comprehensive
schemes, struck of from the brain of even
the ablest men, which on paper and in the
DRY seem perfect, were entirely successful
In practice. On the whole financial sys-
tenn gradually evolved out of the natural
requirements OF business works better than
the most perfect system devised in the
Office of the statesman or in the study of
the philosopher.

which Will relieve the Notwithstanding
money stringency in the money centers is
probably desirable and may De enacted.
But such legislation, IL enacted, will be
simple in its nature and will not disturb
or alarm the business interests or the coun-
try, because Its consequences will not be
far-reaching. and. to all thoughtful minds.

eress which will radically affect our entire

Pope Plus Formulating His Policy.

ROME, Sept 10.-The Pope is really car
rying out his intention to do all and to
know all and for this purpose he has not
yet appointed a secretary of state. While
writing the encyclical addressed to the
Catholic bishops throughout the whole
world, which he turned over sheet by
sheet to Mgrs. Sardi and GALL to translate
into Latin, the Pontiff was also employed
in personally writing answers to diplomatic
notes and attending TO other affairs which
did not so into the hands of Mgr Merry
Def Val, tire acting secretary of state. In
this way the Pope in less than two months
of his pontificate has learned many things
and is able TO direct and carry out his
policy, which he is now quietly formulating.
