BOTH CLAIM JURISDICTION.
Dispute Of Seamen's and Longshore-
mems Unions, Taken Up at Con-
vention at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-The last Of
the big trade jurisdic ion disp.les was
fought on the floor of the convention
of the American Fe, Grafton of Labor
at Saturdays open session. The In
ternaton Il Lo gsh remen's associa-
ton, it was alleged by the Seamen's
International union, continued to use
the name of, and, in part, claim j.-
rIsdiction over, as the international
Longshoremen, Marine and Transpor-
tation association" all transport
workers on water about the water
front. The Seamen's union alleged
that these transport workers proper
ly should come under the jurisdiction
of the Seamen's union. They accord
ingly introduced a resolution asking
the delegates to vote in favor of or
dering all such marine and transport
worl ers. as engineers, fremen, water
tenders, oilers, pilots and tugboat
masters to be declared seamen, and to
compel them to secede from the In
ternational Longshoremen, Marine and
Transport association, and join the
seamen's union.

RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS.
inspectors at Ellis Island Unable to
Handle All Who Arrive on
Friday.

New York, Nov. $3.50 great has
been the rush of immigrants to this
port within the past few days that the
immigration station at Ellis Island was
crowded Friday and several thousand
steerage passengers were forced to re-
main all night on board the steamers
on which they arrived from Europe.
When the Baltic came in during the fore
noon with a steerage list numbering
LOO, the officials of the steamer were
informed that there was no room for
them on the island. Five thousand i'm
migrants already were crowded in the
quarters, while the normal
handling capacity of the present force
of inspectors is only 5000. Under the
circumstances they refused absolutely
to handle the additional 1,700 brought
in by the Baltic and the steamship
officers were Obliged to keep them on
board under guard. AS there is fine
of 500 per head for any immigrant
who escapes from ship before being
properly examined by the authorities,
the big liner was put practically under
martial law to prevent the disappear
ance of any Of the steerage passengers
all of whom wanted to go ashore at
once.

To Test Wheat.

To its other instrumentalities Of pub
lie bene6cence, the Minnesota School
of Agriculture has recently added an
experimental -four mill and bake-oven
for testing, in quantities large enough
for satisfactory demonstration, the
milling and bread-making values of
different wheats At the present mo-
ment careful tests are being made to
determine the amount of loss, on diff
ferent grades, from the rust which in.
ficted so much damage on the crop
crop just gathered. The work is in
the hands of Robert Dewar, who COM
bines the qualifications of practical
miller and scientific Investigator. In
its results it is expected to benefit
both growers and millers; the former,
in showing what kinds of wheat suffer
most at least degradation from rust
the latter in determining the actual
milling value of rusted wheat as COM
pared with the uncontaminated grain.

sador to Constantinople, to try to in
troduce into England Tor rather re-
introduce) the process known in the
east as buying the smallpox" putting
some variolous matter under the skin,
thereby causing a mild form of the
disease. The great disadvantage Of
this method was that the patient could
communicate the disease; and to DR..
Jenner belongs the honor of the dis
covery of SAFE vaccination.
The dairy folk of the country round
where DR.. Jenner lived frequently suf-
fered from cowpox, the mixers show
ing the disease in their hands. A
dairymaid one day brought to DR.. Jen-
ner's notice the village belief that he
that had experienced cowpox need not
fear the plague of smallpox. 1t was
while student in Sodbury, small
town near Bristol, young country
woman came to him for advice, and in
the course of conversation, the subject
of smallpox being touched upon, she
said: 81 cannot take that disease, for
: have had the cowpox." Ut has been
discovered that this tradition held in
the dairy districts of England, In Ire
land, and part of the continent.) DR..
Jenner never forgot the incident, his
mind returning to the question repeat
eddy. But he was almost so years old
before he made known has vaccine pre-
ventive.
On the 18th of May, 1896, Jenner
took lymph from the hand Of Sarah
Nelmes, who was infected with cow
pox, and inserteu it into the arms of
James Phipps, the first instance of the
regular incubation of the vaccine
disease by DR.. Jenner; and great was
his Joy over the success of this case,
the child proving immune to the small
pox matter injected some weeEs after
the first experiment. But the problem
now was to convince the world of the
value of the discovery, persuade them
to acceptance of the new means for
avoiding the loathsome malady.
| Ridicule and preaching were employed
against the vaccination proposition; 1t
is said preachers warned mothers not to
suffer their children to be inoculated,
lest cows faces and horns grow out OF
their heads; a London debating society
is accredited with proposing for debate:
(which of these two propositions at
fords the greatest proof of human cred
ulity: that light can be mace from gas.
or that protection from smallpox can
come by vaccinations"

The Papuans have two failings,
which, although they do no positive
harm. are of a somewhat amusing char
acter. One Is their love for delicacy
known as a larva, taken from trop-
ical beetle, found, as a general rule, In
decayed trunks. Wherever signs OF
the larvae are observed on the bark OF
the trees the natives seize an ak, or
anything which may be handy, and
dig out the delicacy and eat it raw.
Should a fire be handy, it As given a
few turns and enjoyed to the utmost
extent. I have never acquired suf-
ficient amount of nerve to partake OF
one of these larvae, but am told that
its taste strongly resembles that OF a
lemon.
The other failing of which l have
spoken is their adherence to the Pc
culiar and actually foolish religion
which is observed by the Papuans from
one end of the island to the other. They
maintain a belief in the spirit Fiji, who
is supposed to be occasionally audible,
but always invisible. This god, or

eminent to convey the sorely-needed
vaccine to her many distant possess
sions. The following appeared in tbs
Madras Gazette OF November 20, 1903:
ION Sunday, September last, DR.. Fran
els XAVIER Balmis, surgeon extraor-
binary to the king, had the honor OF hiss
ing his majeSty's hand on the occasion
of his return from voyage round the
world, executed with the sole object OF
carrying to all the possessions OF the
crown of Spain situated beyond the seas,
the inestimable gift of vaccine inocula-
ton.
1.-THE expedition consisted Of three
frigates, with several physicians, and
% children who had not had the small
pox. The children, many N whom were
very small, were placed under the care
of matron, and the greatest attention
was paid to their comfort and cleanli-
ness. At New Spain they made fresh
start with 26 more children. Material
for vaccination was lavishly distributed
through the northern part of Spanish
America, and at each capital central
society was formed. HAL OI Tue 6Apt-
dition went to the Philippine islands,
Maceo and Canton, and the other half
to Peru. One section was wrecked, but,
happily, the subdirector, his three ply
sicians and the children came to no
harm. The expedition was often pub
licly received by the bishops, military
governors, and persons of the greatest
distinction, who took into their arms
the little children who we're to carry the
cow-pox to the Indigenous Americans
and Malays of the Philippine islands,
and returned thanks to God for having
been the witness of SO happy an event"
DR.. John Hunter, name well known
in the medical profession, was young
Jenner's teacher when he went to Lon
don to complete his professional studies.
He told the older man the story of the
cow-pox girl and of his frequent thought
concerning her words; to which he re.
ceived the reply: do not think; try;
