Much Cheering and Hand-Clapping
In Honor of Russian Envoy.
The Russian commissioners who
successfully concluded treaty ofpeace
with the ENJOYS of Japan at Ports
mouth, N. H., started on the return to
St. Petersburg Wednesday, sailing
from New York on the Kaiser Will
helm II.
Before leaving the city M. White and
Baron Rosen made a farewell call
upon the japanese diplomats. Baron
KOmura was unable to see the Rus
SLAMS because of his illness, but
through Minister Takahira they sent
him a cordial message of farewell.
A big crowd gathered at the dock OF
the Kaiser Wilhelm in HObOken to see
NJ. White, and there was much cheer
ing and hand-clapping as he went up
the gangplank, to which he bowed ac-
acknowledgements. He received the
newspaper men cordially in his rooms
on board the steamer and through
Baron Rosen made statement to
those whom he had met. thanking them.
He then shook hands with all of them
and said good-by.
Shortly before the ship sailed Maj.
Lynch, of the United Societies of New
York, an6 forty members of the Irish
Club of New York were received by
! M. White. Each member of the Irish
Club presented to the peace ENJOYS
tiny Russian, American and Irish
flags. Maj Lynch said to M. Witte;

halation, said he, "and the treatment
should be through the lungs. Blood
taken from a yellow fever patient
shows that the corpuscles grow dark,
almost black, under the fever, and the
effect is the same as that produced by
the inhalation of carbon Oxide-prac-
tically the same which results from the
lack of breath when the head is held
under water and the supply of oxygen
cut off.
"Under water life will last about
two minutes. Under the inhalation OF
carbon oxide it will last four or five
days"
DR.. LeHardy's idea is that the fever
is produced as result of certain dis
regard of sanitary laws, and that
spores of the disease are given of
from an unknown plant, and when
inhaled the person becomes seized
with the incipient disease.
This has been a theory with DR..
LeHardy number of years. He has
never had the opportunity to pursue
his Investigations to the point of proof
While the yellow fever was present
such great demand was made upon his
time for the treatment of cases that he
could not hunt down the supposititious
mushroom.
