Fake Consumption Cure

New YORK, July l0.-Counsel for
the New York Medical society has Ia.
vestigated the methods OF an alleged
tuberculosis cure bearing name sim.
liar to that Of high German physi.
clan. The concern has places OF bus
tness in New York, Philadelphia, Bos.
ton. Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
st. Louis and half dozen other large
cities, and 10 said to be doing a large
business on the strength Of the repu-
tation OF the German specialist. It is
said the attention OF the district at.
toruey has been called to the concern,
and general warfare on it Is to be
instituted.
Eminent physicians In this city are
said to hold letters from the German
doctor. denouncing the manager Of
the concern, and asking that the same
be exposed and stopped from further
be9uiling suffering humanity. The
head OF the concern 10 said to have
been graduated from q school In Mis-.
souri, and was placed at the head of
the concern By it's promoters because
OF the name he bears-the same as
that OF the German specialist.

Won't stand rutsrfsrsnee.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The navy
department, at the instance OF the
state department, has taken steps to
prevent further Interference with Am.
ertcan shipping In the Orinoco by
either government or rebel forces.
This action was taken upon the advice
Of Mr.. Russell, United States charge
At Caracas, dated on the 9Th inst, to
the effect that the government forces
had detained two ships belonging to
the Orinoco Steam Navigation com.
pany at San Fernando and the insur.
gents had detained and were likely to
destroy three other ships belonging to
the same company at Ciudad Bolivar.
Orders were cabled yesterday to the
United States ship Bancroft at Port
Of Spain to proceed at once up the
Orinoco and release the detained ves-
sells. No resistance 10 anticipated.

Complain About Meat Law.

BERLIN, July 9.-The German meat
Law, which went into effect in April, Is
having more serious consequences
commercially than anticipated.
As the regulations require the inspec.
ton Of meats and lard to take place
IN bonded warehouses before export
and the inspection fees are heavy, the
German merchants complain that they
are placed at q great disad " anta9e IN
transit trade.
They had hitherto supplied Austria
and Switzerland with American meats
and lard, sending directly from the
warehouse, without inspection. Where
the meat Law has been applied, how.
ever, the Belgian and Dutch shippers
are getting all the Austrian and Swiss
trade and Germany Is losing the tran.
sit profits.
The German shippers, therefore, are
calling loudly for the abolition of the
inspection requirements in the case OF
export goods.
