{ EMPEROR ASKS
HUNGARIAN AID
Text of Francis Joseph's
Letter to Hedervary
Published.
Reichsrath Reassembles to
Pass Amendment to
Recruiting Law.

BUDAPEST, Hungary Sept. 23.-The
text of the royal autograph letter rein
trusting Count Hedervary with the forma-
ton of a new Cabinet was published to-
day in a special issue of the Gazette. In
it Emperor Francis Joseph says he is
deeply grieved at the deplorable circum-
stances which hinder the working Of the
state machinery. He cannot, however,
assent to any measures regarding the
common army which would possibly
weaken both halves of the monarchy and
which are not in accord with the interests
of Hungary, the integrity Of which they
would jeopardize. The Emperor adds that
he is nevertheless DESTROYS of giving ef-
feet to the concessions announced in the
lower house of the Hungarian Diet by
former Premier de Cell and by Premier
Hedervary, which he deems to be admis-
sible reforms.
The conclusion Of the Emperor's post
script runs follows:
Ny Hungarian nation has advanced since the
Ausgleich 1.-THE fiscal and commercial agree
ment between Austria and Hungary with gi-
gantc strides. l notice with satisfaction that
gratifying progress as fresh evidence OF the
wisdom of the work achieved by mutual conn
dence between the crown and nation. So IL
must be and so it must remain in the future.
BY the favor of the divine Providence our con-
stitutional life has been far preserved from
all serious commissions. The sobriety and re-
straint OF the nation and the well weighed
consideration of all the interests involved can
alone preserve from trying evils In the ~
ture.
II Is therefore my duty as ruler to inform
the nation that 1 still adhere to the Ausg
II is my conviction that the spirit which ere
ated this work still lives in its old strength
in the soul of the nation conndS IN your
Judgment trusting that you will explain 10 the
constitutional representation OF Hungary, which
stands So near to my heart. what my paternal
intentions are, and that you will discover
happy issue to the present situation. whicn is
DANGEROUS alike to the country and the mon
archy.
VIENNA, Sept. 23.-The Reichsrath re-
assembled to-day to pass, as Premier Won
Koerber explained, a bill amending the
recruiting law in order to meet the diff
cuIties created by the Hungarian Diet
Dr. Won Koerber said some Of the Hun
garian demands were calculated not only
to undermine the unity of the Austro-
Hungarian army, but to affect Austria
rights in the common army. The En-
peror maintained this view, and the pro-
posed bill provided that Austria should
not enroll an increased number of recruits
unless a corresponding increase was pro-
vided by Hungary. The Premier urged
the speedy adoption of the measure, so
that time-expired men might not be dis
charged. Demonstrations were made,
mingled with cheers.

LIQUOR DEALERS PLAN
FOR CHARITY'S CAUSE
Two Performances to Be Given at the
New Tivoli to Raise Sufficient
Funds.

The charity committee of the California
Liquor Dealers Association met yester-
day afternoon and completed arrange
ments for their annual distribution OF
money and presents TO charitable insti-
buttons during the holiday season. The
liquor dealers inaugurated this worthy
plan last year. At that time thousands
of dollars were collected and donated to
the different charitable institutions
throughout the city, and this year it is
expected that the amount will be in
creased. Instead Of presenting patrons
with Christmas bottles the money
which would have been spent in that di-
rection is given to the suffering and the
poor
The new Tivon Opera-house, at the cor
ner of Mason and Eddy streets now in
the process Of construction, has been en-
gagged for afternoon and evening perform
ances on Thursday, December 10. This
day will be regarded as a liquor dealers
holiday and the proceeds Of both enter
tainments will be awarded to charity. The
committee in charge of the affair con-
sists of A. G.. Hagedorn (chairman), D. B.
Faktor, T. Lunstead, William Clack, T.
H. Lindsay, P. ]. Weniger, H. NJ. Meyer,

citation in November.

SPREAD OF TUBERCULOSIS
IS THEME OF SCIENTIST
Declares That Decisive Factor Is
Nourishing Infants With Milk
of Cows

BERLIN, Sept. 2S.-The Deutschen
Medesche Voschiegrift publishes a synop-
sis Of a lecture which Professor Won Behr-
ing Of Marburg will deliver before The
German materialists' congress at CasseI
next Friday. Professor Won Behring does
not believe that tuberculosis can be I'm
herited or contracted epidemfcaIly by an
adult. He asserts. however. that a de-
cisive factor in the spread of tuberculosis
Is the nourishing Of infants with milk
taken from cows suffering from that dis
ease.
The human infant like the young OF an
animals lacks the digestive apparatus and
protective organs which in the case OF
grown-up persons prevents the germs en-
tering into the tissues. As a consequences
he contends young children should be-
nourished with milk free from the germs
Of tuberculosis.
Professor Won Behring's efforts are be-
ing directed toward the substitution OF
sanitariums and system of incubation
for consumption hospitals. He is firmly
convinced that. like animals, human
beings can be rendered immune by inocu-
lattOn with tuberculosis tOxine obtained
from cows The professor, however dis
tinctly says that his experiments to Oh
tain perfect toxine are not completed.

FRENCH HISTORY
IN NEW COLOR
Stephens Begins Ac.
count Of Men Of the
Great Revolution.
Chroniclers Of To-Day, He
Says, Write Truth Of
the Past.

The first Of a course Of twelve lectures
on the New Views of the French Revo-
luton was delivered by Professor H.
Morse Stephens last night at the Mechan-
les Institute There was a big attend
ance and the, lecture was enjoyed for its
force, its sincerity and for the new aspect
which Professor Stephens throws around
the familiar subjects.
In speaking of the troublous events that
have long ago passed in France, but
which at all time make interesting mat
ter for discussion, Professor Stephens
made 1t plain that it was his intention to
tell Of historical periods and personages
of France in a truthful vein-that is, sans
the particular historical form or attire
which it had pleased Dickens in his Tale
of Two Cities and Carlyle to paint in
lurid dramatic colors.
Professor Stephens said that it is the
aim of the historian Of to-day, with the
facts he has at his disposal, to give in
formation of men and affairs as they
were. He would have the student know
that the historian of the present period
is untrammeled while the historian of the
past was subjective. Though the object
of present day historians is to place his
tory in its bare and unvarnished form be-
fore the world, the change from the
hysterical and dramatic had not yet. he
said, quite penetrated into the minds of
the public.
The new history. said Professor Steph-
ems, throws an entirely new light on the
past and while it is less dramatic and
less picturesque, it is more Ineligible.
He treated historical personages as they
were, gave credit where condemnation
had been plastered thickly' on the limo
cent, while he raised to dignity men
whose names had been spotted with ex-
ecration by historians of the past. The
unfolding of the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth is the object
Of the modern historian, declared Profess
sor Stephens. The picturesque may fade
when they come to tell the true daily
condition Of men and women, he said,
but then they had the facts, and facts
at this period were more than poetry
and poetic prose and descriptions that
We're Historically dramatic.
Last nights lecture was a vivid, power
full and interesting preface. The lectures
proper will follow. Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette being the next historical sub
jects to receive the attention of Profess
sor Stephens at the Mechanics Institute.

DOMINICAN GOVERNMENT
REPUDIATES AGREEMENT
United States Minister Powell De-
hvers Ultimatum That Arbitrator
Must Be Named.

SAN DOMINGO, Sept. 23.-The Domin-
lean Government has informed United
States Minister Powell that it absolutely
does not recognize the validity of the
agreement regarding the claims of the
Improvement Company and therefore can
not appoint an arbitrator in that case.
Powell has informed the Government that
the engagements made must be kept and
that he expected to name its arbitrators.
He also pointed out to the Dominican
Government that If it accepted engage
ments with other powers those made with
his Government must also be respected,
and that if some of the acts Of EXPIRES
ident Vasquez's Government were con-
sidered legal, all must be.

SPEAKERS PLEAD
FOR BOND ISSUE
An Immense Gatheri lg
Held to Further New
Park System.
All Proposed improvements
Are Advocated by Resi-
dents Of Mission.

AS many as could-men, women and
children-crowded into Mission Turn We
rein Hall last night to attend the meet
ing Of the Mission Park Association, and
those present were amply repaid by good
speaking and an interesting programme OF
varied musical numbers.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
American flags and the stage. filed with
flowers and potted plants. was dressed in
semblance of a sylvan dell hung with jap
anese lanterns. a finger post bore the
legend. ITO Mission Park" Eustace Cul-
inane presided and opened the meeting
with a few felicitious remarks. He was
followed by Miss Carroll, who sang in a
delicious soprano voice two selections. the
latter in response TO an enthusiastic en-
core.
Mrs. Keith, well known in public work
and an ardent advocate Of the proposed
new park system, was the first speaker.
She made a forcible plea for all the i'm
provements contemplated in the pending
bond issue, but above all she urged the
necessity for parks in behalf of the chill
dren pining for fresh air, of the wearied
men and women, TO whom the fragrance
and beauty Of a block or two stolen from
the fields and mountains would act as a
blessing beyond price.
After the Orpheum Quartet had rem
dered three numbers in a highly accept
able manner former Mayor James D. Phe-
Ian, himself a resident of the Mission all
his life, was introduced He was accord
ed a welcome from his neighbors of such
a prolonged and vociferous nature as to
assure beyond question the esteem in
which he is held by them.
He said that he was glad that for the
first time the city had before it a cam
paign IN which measures and not men
were the issues. These measures, he said,
were certain to remain in Office forever,
as they were in the nature of permanent
improvements and would carry out all
the promises that had been made for
them. We are not engaged in building a
city, he said. but in repairing one. We
had been forced by circumstances, he
said. into erecting a great city, but the
conditions under which this was done
were such that much of the work had
been accomplished in a haphazard and
unsatisfactory manner. One of the omis-
sions. he said, was a sufficiency of parks,
which would insure resting places and
fresh air reservoirs for the great popu-
lation now here and the greater popu-
lation that was bound TO come. The
speaker advocated all the proposed parks,
dwelling especially on those for the Mis-
sion district and St Mary's Square.
Arnold and Ethel GraZer gave two rnu-
steal speciality numbers and were followed
by Thomas Hickey, Charles Sweigert and
P. H. Mccarthy each Of whom in short
speeches urged upon those present to use
their utmost endeavors to secure the pas
sage of the entire bond issue. The meet
ing was earnestly enthusiastic and showed
the zeal Of the campaign that is being
waged for "City Beautiful"

APPOINTS SUCCESSORS TO
SUSPENDED INSPECTORS
Health Board Had Warned Negligent
Official to Be More Attentive
to Duties.

The Board of Health yesterday appoint
ed Drs. Robert c. Howe and Henry D.
Tanning as assistant sanitary inspectors
to fill vacancies caused by the suspension
Of Drs. Fitzgibbons, Hartley, Green and
Hereford. Howe is on the civil service
eligible list, but Tanning is not. The
positions were also offered to Drs. j.
Kuykendall and Reuben Hill, the remain
ing two civil service eligibles, but they
declined appointment because it was for
too short a period. DR.. Fred c. Muller
was also appointed to one Of the vacan-
cies. as told in yesterdays Call.
It appears that the four suspended in
spectors were warned several times to be
more attentive to their duties, but failed
to heed the warning. 1t was then de-
cided By the Health Board to make an
example Of them in the hope that they
would be more attentive to their sanitary
inspection when they are restored to their
positions on October 5.
