Millions of cases of whisky have been

Mr.. PATTERSON TALKS POLITICS
AND EXPOSITION LOAN CARRIES

2 Washington, Feb. 6.-The political
debate In the Senate on the proposed
loan of $4,6O0.000 to the st. Louis Ex-
position which has been in progress on
a point of order for the past three days,
came to a close yesterday, through a
vote which left the provision in the ur-
gent deficiency bill, which was passed.
Mr.. Patterson of Colorado made a
speech in which, while he charged the
panic of 1893 to the anti-silver agita-
ton in this and other countries, an
nounced that he was not in favor of an
other Democratic pronouncement plac-
ing immediate free coinage as one OF
the cardinal planks of the platform.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill was laid before the Senate, the
provision for the st. Louis Exposition
loan being the immediate question un-
der consideration, and Mr.. Patterson
took on the political phase of the
question, making a special reply to Mr.
Foraker. He said that having noted
the want of prosperity on the part of
the trusts and syndicates. the Ohio
(anator had introduced a bill. which.
if it should become law, would supply
that deficiency. Mr.. Patterson con-
tended that prosperity was not so much
dependent on tariff laws or the bal
ance of trade as most people believed.

rxphoid Germs short.Iived.

Chicago. Feb. "a discovery that
may decide the interstate canal case
before the United States Supreme
Court was announced to-day by Pro
fessor Jordan of the University of Chi
cago while on the witness stand in the
hearing of the injunction case of the
state of Missouri against the state of
Illinois and the Chicago sanitary dis
trict to-day. Professor Jordan de-
clared that he had proved that typhoid
germs will not live more than two days
in seepage polluted water and will not
live more than ten days in pure water.
The discovery, besides being crucial in
the present suit. is contrary to all pre-
vious scientific theories regarding the
life of typhoid fever bacilli.
Associated with Professor Jordan in
the extensive experiments which led up
to his discovery were Professor Russell
of the University of Wisconsin and
Professor Zeit of the Northwestern
University.

In terminating the interview. Baron
Hayashi was asked:
Then you say that If Russia refuses

rights in Manchuria that means war;"
That will be war;" replied the min

The baron added to the foregoing
that he believed 1t to be the view of

The French officials expressed great
surprise at the unqualified statements
concerning war, and of Japan's inten-

against war.

STILL GUARDED

London. Feb. 6.-The Associated
Press can announce with authority that
Mrs. Florence Maybrick is now in a
home in distant part OF England and
under the care of the members of n re-
ligious sisterhood. She has not been
released and she is kept under surveil-
ance. but to all intents ana purposes
her life now, compared TO her exist
ence in Aylesbury prison, is that of a
free woman.
She will remain where she is until
next July, when her punishment will
be ended under special license, and
she will be allowed to go free. subject
to the usual conditions governing tic
ket-of-leaye convicts-
The transfer. of Mrs. Maybrick from
a penal prison to quiet country home
constitutes an almost unprecedented
action on the part of the authorities.
1t was due to the mediation of Adelaine
Marie, duchess of Bedford, who, as a
visitor to Aylesbury prison for many
years, has taken a keen personal inter-
est in Mrs. Maybrick and finally sue
ceeded in obtaining the mitigation OF
punishment to the extent OF her being
allowed to spend the last six months OF
her confinement outside the prison
0alls.
The home Office several months ago
agreed to meet the request of the Ouch
ess of Bedford. although it imposed a
pledge of secrecy.
Therefore. in order to permit the re-
cuperation of her health, Mrs. May
brick was quietly transferred to this
institution, where, although she is still
actually convict under life sentence
she lives in a freedom that bellies her
real status.
Her exact whereabouts is guarded
with extraordinary secrecy, chiefly for
the purpose of preventing criticism of
the government for having taken the
foregoing exceptional steps in her case.

his declarations that unless Russia
