BEHRING'S LATEST METHOD.

Dr.. Leonard Pearson, State Veterinary OF
Pennsylvania, who has just returned from Eu-
rope, went there for the purpose Of attending
two scientific congresses One, at Budapest, was
comprehensive IN scope and the topics which it
considered-a variety Of diseases affecting ami
msl5-had close relation to his immediate pro-
fessional duties. The other. at Paris. discussed
tuberculosis alone, and chiefly as human dis
order. Dr. Pearsons verdict concerning the re-
cent announcement by Professor Behring will,
however, be regarded with interest, the more
so because Of its Inherent common sense and
caution He says: Il shall neither reject nor
accept his statement, but shall hope that he
s1uay be able to sustain it" This is unQuestiOn-
ably the attitude which experts must adopt for
the present So long as the belief that cura-
tive and preventive for tuberculosis has been dis
covered rests Oh Behring's word alone it Is en-
titled to no more credence than were Koch's
sangulne anticlpatons dozen years ago. The
mode of preparing the new serum was not de-
seribed and nobody is yet In position TO man
ufacfure any for test purposes. Until Behrng
shall have sent samples to reputable pracntion-
ers for trial in actual practice, therefore, verif-
cation of his claims viii be difficult, If not i'm

Two general lines of experiment have been
followed by bacteriologlsts who sought to reach
the result under discussion To develop In an
animal the power of resisting a fatal inocuIa-
ton Koch injected a fluid In which the toxins
of tuberculosis, previously extracted from the
bacilli, were held In solution Another group OF

THE MACEDONIAN DEADLOCK.

The great powers and the Turkish government
seem to be at deadlock over the financial con-
troll Of Macedonia. Each side has committed it.
self to an attitude from which apparently there
can be no retreat without a serious loss Of
prestige. Yet the two are quite incompatible,
and one side the other must withdraw. The
powers have decreed that their agents shall
have full control OF the financial administration
Of the three vilayets which compose Macedonia,
and have gone so far as to send their agents
to Saoniea for that purpose If they should now
withdraw, in the face of Turkish objections and
opposition, the concert Of the powers would
become thing Of scorn and ridicule throughout
IsIam and the Ottoman government would be
confirmed and encouraged in the gross abuses
which excite the Reproduction of Europe.
On the other hand, the Turkish government
protests, with reason, that to permit such con-
troll would be practically to abdicate its own
sovereignty. Perhaps that would not be so radi-
cal q step. seeing to what extent Turkish
ereignty has already been impaired from time
to time. But it would be not only q grave
deprivation of the Sublime Porte OF It's powers
and attributes. but also an ominous precedent
for other steps of the same Kind, until the last
vestige Of Turkish independence was gone.
That is why Turks of all classes are so strenu-
Ously opposed TO yielding to the will of the pow
ers in this matter. Even those Turks who con-
sciously suffer from the corruption of their gov
eminent are opposed to an abatement of their
grievances through such means. They would
rather be Ill governed by the Commander of
the Faithful than well governed by the Giaour
There are other considerations. One Is a pro-
found distrust by the Turks Of the motives of
the powers, and especially Of Austria and Rus
STA, the traditional foes of the Ottoman empire
To the Turkish mind any reform" OF Turkish
affairs at the hands Of those powers means
spoliation of Turkey for their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Another is the hope that Turkey will be able to
hold her ground and delay, If not entirely defeat.
the design of the powers through the familiar
trick Of creating dissensions among the powers
and playing one Of them against another Some
of the powers are believed to be less than half
hearted in the matter and unwilling to go to the
extreme of using force; and if they recede or
decline to 20 further the others viii have to do
the same or there will be danger OF something
more than q little rift within the Lutte"
Such are the calculations of the Turks On
some former occasions they have been success
full in thwarting the will of Europe In the
present case II is doubtful If they can do 40
The powers have gone so far that 1t appears I'm
possible that they should be compelled to retire
or even be checked. The probability seems to be
that Turkey will have to yield in the near future
though perhaps In way that will enable
her TO save her face while giving to the pow
ers the substance Of the control which they are
now seeking
