NEW TREATMENT FOR CANCER
Is RECEIVING ATTENTION

New York. Nov. IA new treat
ment for cancer was explained at a
meeting of the Abernethian Society of
st. Bartholomew hospital by DR..
johnson. who has been explaining the
methods employed by DIR. Otto Schmidt,
of Cologne. says a Herald dispatch
from London. DIR Schmidt's opinion"
said DIR. Johnson. lis that cancer is
conditional on the presence in the
patient of a cancer parasite which
produces structural change in the
cells of the part affected.
Dr. Schmidt believes he has isO-
lated the specific parasite. With this
parasite he has done two things-he
seems to have sterilized it with Il
liquid air and also has injected it into
animals and developed Il serum which
has the power of destroying cancer
cells. Sterilized parasites he used for
one treatment. Animal serum he used
for his second treatment"

Our Right to Build Through Colombia a

The secretary then proceeds to a
discussion of the canal question, and
says: 1T is therefore too clear for
discussion that when, at the repeated
solicitation of the government of Co
lombia, a treaty was entered into be-
tween that government and the United
States for carrying into effect the long
considered plan of Il canal across the
fSthmus, to be owned and controlled by
the government of the United States,
it was no new proposition that was be-
ing adopted. but rather the carrying
out of a long cherished plan of both
countries and the assertion of a right
which had been long since conceded
in principle by the government of Co
lOmbia
by authorization of congress the
president entered into treaty with
the government Of Bogota for the con-
struction of a canal by way of the
isthmuS of Panama Wishing to show
every consideration TO the government
of Colombia the treaty contained pro-
visions of extraordinary Iiberality. \
large bonus was given for the privilege
of constructing the canal. 4 liberal an
nual lease was added, and all this was
in addition to the numberless benefits
which would accrue to the Colombian.
government and people from the con-
struction in their territory of this colos-
sal work
THE treaty was promptly ratified
by the senate of the United States
and rejected unanimously and without
consideration by that of Colombia. The
which have been made to
this government since the failure of
the treaty i'll Bogota of Il renewal of
have been too vague and
too eXtravagant to merit the serious
of the United States"
Secretary Ha~ ~ays the Panama peo-
pie had been h, ~ for the canal for
years, and than Tie failure of the
treaty dashed their hopes. They there
upon proceeded in the true South
American style, organized a rebellion
and before any one could stop them
had accomplished their independence

We Guarantee COlOmbia's Sovereignty.
This is a right which we acquired
by the treaty, not gratuitOusly con-
ferred, but in return for an important
compensation, for in the same article
the government of the United States
guarantees positively and efficaciously
to New Granada by the present stipu-

aforementioned isthmus. with the view
that the free transit from the one to
the other sea may not be interrupted
or embarras ssed in any future

consequence the United States guar
