KAISER'S WOUND HEALING
DOCTORS SAY HIS MAJESTY CONTIN-
UES TO IMPROVE.
Details of the Operation for Removal
of h Polypus Described by Sur
geOn Who Welded the Knife.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.-The doctors who are
attending Emperor William said this morn
ing: The healing of his Majesty's wound
is proceeding in so entirely a satisfactory
manner that the next bulletin will be issued
the day after tomorrow"
The Frankfurter Zeitung prints the fol-
lowing details of the Emperor's operation.
obtained apparently from DR.. Schmidt, who
belongs in Frankfort: 1.-The polypus had
no stem as usually Is the case, but spread
itself on the edge of the left vocal chord
For this reason the operation was more
complicated than with an ordinary vocal
chord polypus, as it required cut
ting around i'm order to make a stem. The
cocaine took effect on the patient excellent
ly so that DR.. Schmidt could use a laryngal
knife with precision and separate the polypus
from the adjacent tissue with the exception
of a slight ligament. He then inserted a
~laryngeal forceps and extracted the whole
polypus at the first effort. The Emperor
made no disturbing motion. The bleeding
was somewhat profuse, but it did not re-
quire special treatment to check. AS the
entire left vocal chord was infiamed and
reddish before the operation 1T will take
considerable time to restore the normal
condition. Such an affection of the chord
is nothing unusual. 1t is no sign of a more
serious disease"
The result of the microscopic examination
was in the hands of the Emperor and his
physicians six hours after the operation.
This unexcelled record in rapid indurating,
coloring and preparing of microscopical seq
ments is due to a new invention of Professor
Orth, which was used for the first time.
and is unknown outside Of the immediate
circle of his medical friends. The invention
is a very rapid process of indurating tissues
for microscopical investigation, where rea-
sons of Jurisprudence require the speediest
possible determination of facts. Such ex-
aminations hitherto have required twenty
four hours and often longer when the It's
sues to be examined were extensive In many
segments. The Emperor's polypus was
taken at all angles for examination. DIR.
Schmidt remains at the new palace Pots-
damn to make a daily examination of the
wound with a laryngoscope and sprinkle
some powder on the wound.
The Emperor Is forbidden to ride. speak
or take highly seasoned foods or drinks.
The feeling at the palace is, nevertheless.

LONDON, Nov. BIN a letter to Miss
Miner, sister of Lord Alfred Miner, lord
high commissioner to South Africa, Joseph
Chamberlain contends that the argument
that political corruption results from a pro-
tective policy is absurd. Mr.. Chamberlain
says: Germany is free from corruption,
while in the United States, where there is a
good deal Of corruption. it is caused by the
presence of the Irish political organiza-
lions. SO far as the government of the
United States is concerned, nothing of the
kind has ever been suggested to me and the
general purity of the administration has
been increased of late years under the pro-
tective system The creation of trusts is
also entirely independent of protection. We
have already seen such institutions, as for
instance the Coats Combination and the AL
kali trust. The system is likely to increase
with the growing tendency to cheaper pro-
duction by combinations with larger out
puts"

CASSIhI SAYS He DIDN'T
REFLECT UPON CONGER
Ambassador Denies Having Impugned
American Minister'S Veracity.

Count Cassini knows nothing of the
request of Minister Conger that the
State Department inquire into the Rus
sian ambassadors interview in which he
denied the truth OF statements concern
ing the Manchurian situation said 10
have been made by Minister Conger.
The Russian ambassador says it has
been proved that the news sent from
Pekin was erroneous, and in rectifying
the reports he has only accomplished
his official duty. Count Cassini says he
had no thought OF rejecting upon Min
lister Conger, for whose ability and tact
he has great consideration.
Minister Conger is reported to be in
dignant because his statement of Rus
sian demands made upon China, concern
ing the future of Manchuria, has been
questioned. Dispatches from Pekin say
Minister Conger based his report on a
letter NJ Plancon, the Russian charge
d'affaires at Pekin, sent to the Chinese
foreign office. This letter is reported
to have contained the demands of Rus
sia which caused much excitement and
gave rise to rumors that the Russian
policy was TO hinder American trade in
Manchuria.

Cassini after this information was re-
