DISCUSS CURES FOR CANCER.
Surgical and Light Treatment EFT ctiye
in Different Cases, Say Experts.

Special Cable despatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Chronological
Congress In Berlin had an exhaustive dis
cussion Of the treatment Of cancer. Prof.
Peterson spoke on non-surgical treatment
and concluded that epithelioma is durable
without an operation only In its initial
stage.
The best results, he said, came from
the use Of the Finsen light, and Roentgen
rays were often productive Of good. but
they must be employed with great caution.
Radium was positive in its results, but even
more dangerous than Roentgen rays. Small
surface epithelloma could be healed by
continued bandaging with solution OF
to Is per cent, of soda.
Prof. Bergman maintained that every
kind of epithelioma could be healed per-
manently by surgery. whereas only part
OF the cases would yield to the light treat
ment When severe complications already
existed the surgeon was unable to ehect
a cure, but in such cases the use OF the rays
also failed He said that hitherto no cancer
upon which 1t was impossible to operate
had been healed by the Roentgen rays.
The results Of the meeting were appar-
entity summed up by the president, who
pointed out that careful distinction must
be drawn between different kinds OF epithel-
iona. Deep rooted cancer ought to be
operated on Immediately II an operation
be possible but superficial epithelioma
should be treated by Roentgen rays. 1t
was admitted that the cause Of cancer
was still unknown.

DIFFERENCES on THE ISTHMUS.
Slight Friction Between Canal Commission
and Minister Barrett.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l7.-Differences Of
opinion in regard to certain questions on
the Isthmus have arisen between the 18TH
milan Canal Commission and John Barrett,
United States Minister to the Republic Of
Panama The differences are not of 'seri-
GUS nature but they gave rise to reports
to-day that Minister Barrett and Admiral
Walker, chairman of the Canal commission
are at loggerheads, and that Mr.. Barrett
is coming home to lay the matter before
the President. The fact is, however, that
Mr.. Barrett is coming to the United States
to take part in the political campaign erd
that the discussion of lsthmian affairs will
be merely incidental to his visit.
The differences of opinion which have
arisen between Mr.. Barrett pnd the MEM
beers OF the commission relate to questions
OF authority in matters affecting relations
between the Canal Zone and the little Re-
public on the 1sthmus. The Minister
naturally favors diplomatic methods of
settling certain questions which, in the
opinion of the commission, might as well
be settled by more direct and less dilatory
methods.
The difficulty, such as it is, is empha-
sized by the fact that the commission is
acting under the authority OF the War
Department while Mr. Barrett represents
the State Department, and the question
frequently arises as to which should rule
The principal questions to be settled re-
tie to the enforcement OF laws on the bor-
ders Of the Canal Zone and similar matters
in which the new Republic is brought into
close relations with the United States.

GOsLIN,s PAL ONCE 4 REFORMER.
Shouted Nightly for Good Government
In the Schieren Campaign.

Frederick W. Jobelman, who is the pal
Of Alfred R. Goslin prince Of get-rich-quick
sw indlers, and who is nov under arrest on
a charge Of larceny. became prominent in
Brooklyn politics in the fall of 1893, when
Charles A. Schieren was the Republican
candidate for Mayor. 1t was in that year
that the Citizens Union was started, and
one Of the first to show earnest effort in be-
half of good government honest ofti-
Gals and reform" " as Jobelman, although
in those days he parted his name in the
middle and was know as +. William Jobel-
man. Nightly he sounded the praises OF
Schieren and reform and begged his hearers
to turn the rascals out He did not con-
fine his efforts for good government to the
Citizens Union but joined the Young Mems
Democratic Club and took n prominent
part in its affairs. He objected strenuously
one night 70 an amendment to the consti-
tuition, which. il adopted, would have
made it possible for offlceholders to be-
come members of the club. In opposing
the amendment he said:
BY all that we hold sacred and dear
let us repel the insidious attack upon our
freedom and our independence. BY the
great spirit of freedom which guided our
fathers to the shores OF the untrodden
land let us throw ourselves into the breach
and drive back the spirit Of evil.
Mr.. Jobelman, v it'll the assistance OF
friends, defeated the amendment. But
after Scheren's election. F. William Jobel-
man wanted job-a political job-but he
never got it. Jobelman has not been prom-
nent in politics in Brooklyn for years.

WAR COSTS 100000, 900 A MONTH.
Japan spending SIS 100000 and Russia
RaS 900 ,OOO-Japan In Better Shape.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Sept 1.-THE following esti-
mate of the financial position Of the bellig-
erents. though necessarily based on guess
work as regards details, is generally ac-
cepted as correct in It's broad features.
Japan Is believed to be spending f3 900
sterling monthly in her military operations.
AS the national debt Ia small her other
expenditure is far below her receipts and
her trade is increasing even while the war
goes on. Her position is excellent though
she had to pay high for her first loan. Her
recent successes will probably enable her
70 borrow more cheaply in future.
Russas war expenditure Is estimated at
$4,000 900 monthly. Her finances are far
from sound at present, in spite Of the vast
ness Of her latent wealth. She has hitherto
been living on the French loan raised in
May, but an ukase has just authorized
tho issue Of new rente bonds for i.l5, 900, 900.
!: is believed she hopes to negotiate a
large loan shortly in Germany. Russia's
policy is to get all foreign loans before
resorting TO a note issue not backed ty gold.
or fresh taxation. The latter would proba-
bly, be worth little as the taxable margin
of Russian economics is small and she is
aturally 10th to do anything to interfere
with the old reserve which is the basis Of
her credit.

occasion all will show the strength Of their
