representatives of the Credit Lyon
naise, Baron Hottingeur, and the
Banque de Paris of Paris, the Men
delssohns of Berlin and the Bearings
of London began conferences with fl
nance Minister Kokovosoff, regarding
the contemplated new loan. Owing to
a delayed train George w. Perkins,
representing ]. P Morgan & Co., did
not arrive in time to participate in the
morning conference. The amount of
the loan is yet undecided on.
At the ministry of France $3.50, 0O0,-
600 was mentioned as the sum in
mind. The French bankers say that
the Paris reports fixing the probable
amounts at $360,000,0O0 are over
drawn. They expect the loan to be
not over $780, 600 If the negotia-
lions are successful the issuance of
the loan is expected to take place in
the early days of November.
Mr.. Perkins and j. Pierpont Nor

GERMAN PROFESSORS SCARCE.
University of Vienna Unable TO Find
Worthy Men.

German professors are supposed to
be as plentiful as strawberries in June
but the University of Vienna seems
to be unable to find men worthy of
occupying some of it's chairs, especi-
ally in the medical faculty. The late
Prof Nothnagel's place has been of
fered to Prof Kraus, who, however,
prefers to remain in Berlin, and no
medical instructor now in Austria
seems to be considered big enough
fer the place. The chair OF hygiene
was vacated two years ago by the de-
parture of Prof. Gruber to Munich. 1t
has not been possible to secure as his
successor one of the only four men
considered sufficiently eminent-Gru-
Der, Rubner, Flugge and Bueppe-
wherefore the professorship will prob
ably be offered to younger man who
has yet to make his reputation.

ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.
indispensable Requisite in Compound
ing of Some Prescriptions.

indispensable Requisite in Compound
ing of Some Prescriptions.
It is of course true that some pro-
prietary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain it. No honest
man will defend the sale of intoxi-
cants under the guise of medicine; but
every honest man should protest
against a system of wholesale denun-
citation born of malice, or ignorance
Of pharmaceutical principles, and fos-
tered by selfish interests. 1t is as
sumed that alcohol is the cause of in
temperance; but there is a great diff
ference between alcohol and whisky.
II a substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture of
medicines, its discoverer would render
a great service to the profession of
pharmacy and the science of medi-
cine, for alcohol is a very expensive
ingredient and a cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. UnfOrtun-
ately the word alcohol, in the minds
of many people is associated exclu-
sively with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice.
This is due to lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an indispensable requisite
in drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts.
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 to
80 per cent of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than Is per cent contain
il in large DrODOrtiOnS
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re-
quired to dissolve substances not solu-
bic in water, while it contributes to
their preservation when dissolved.
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
fluid extracts; and whenever a greater
strength of alcohol is required as a
solvent (for extracting medicinal prin-
ciples) the medicine IS of such a char
acter as to preclude a large dosage;
and for this reason preparations, even
if containing so per cent or more OF
alcohol, are practically less intoXlcat-
ing than beer. In such cases the
character of the medicinal constituents
is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any way
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest bsurdity.-Exchange

TO PREVENT WRECKS.
Wireless Signaling From Train tC
Train Taken Up by Alton.

Wireless Signaling From Train to
Train Taken Up by Alton.
Wireless signals flashed through the
air from train to train may. before long
become the means of preventing rail-
way collisions.
The management OF rThe Alton is pre-
pairing to conduct extensive expert
mentS with a new system of wireless
signaling. Although no experiments
ever have been made on moving trains,
it is stated that the successful working
of the models which have been care
fully examined by the Alton officials
gives them reason to hope that q great
advance will be made toward safety in
train operation.
The system is the invention of two
Detroit men. General Manager Good
now of the Alton is authority for the
statement that in working the models
the electric current which is used to
give the signals is capable of DETECTION
in any direction much as person
would defect the ray from a mirror.
The apparatus viii be attached to the
tops of the engine cabs and will be
circular in form and not more than two
feet in diameter. BY a proper arrange
ment of the mecha nism messages will
be sent to and from trains on the same
track and will not affect the instru-
ments on the cabs Of engines running
on other tracks.
Whenever two trains are within 20
miles of each other the signal will be
sent automatically through the air and
win ring a bell and show a red light
in the engine cabs. Should the me-
chanism get out of order the cab bells
also will be rung. It is said, therefore,
to be impossible for two trains to ap-
proach each other on the same track
nearer than 20 miles without full warn
ing being given to the engineers. The
mechanism will operate whether the
trains are going in the same or in op-
pOsite directions.
If need arises the engineer may be

a signal to an approaching train on

but events are sweeping him to the

immensely, but he viii not raise a
finger for or against him.
The extra session of congress Is
fixed definitely for October 16. Sem
atOrs and representatives who called
pressed with the earnestness of the
presidents purpose to have legislation
which will solve the railroad rate ques-
ton and enable the raising of sufficient
revenue to meet the expenses of the
government. Mr.. EIkins, chairman of
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee, called at the White House and
told the president what his committee
had done, and indicated that it pro-
posed to recommend some important
amendments to interstate commerce
laws. The president was not back
ward in telling Elkins what he want-
ed. He is not seeking to force the
committee to do anything 1t does not
want to do.
But the committee knows what he
wants and knows the country, heart
and soul, is behind him. Had Ellxins
had his way there would have been no
legislation of an important character
toward granting authority to the in-
terstate commerce commission or any
other tribunal to fix railroad rates.
The president has taken the wind out
of Elkins sails however, by the Wig
orous manner in which he discussed
the railroad rate question, and the
committee has been bombarded with
which leave no doubt
in its mind that the country expects
it will deal justly with the question.

Gossip and Matters Of Interest

Pittsburg, May 18.-In the presence Of
300 delegates to the international rail-
way congress, who visited Pittsburg,
George Westinghouse showed how easy
it is to wreck a train without causing
any damage. The collision which Mr..
Westinghouse arranged for the enter
tainment of the visitors took place on
the Inter Works railroad, which is own
ed by the Westinghouse interests.
A train was made up, composed of so
steel cars which had just been received
from the shops. This train was divided
into three sections. Two of the sections
were allowed to remain stationary on
the track, with a space of about so
yards between them. The third section.
with an ordinary engine attached, was
then drawn away distance of two
miles
The engineer pulled open the throttle
and the section of the train dashed
down the track at a speed of 40 miles
an hour. There was crash as the rear
of the moving train dashed into the
cars which were standing on the tracks
But instead Of the cars piling I'D on
the tracks in a twisted mass, there was
Just a slight culver and then they set
tied down on the tracks again,~at the
same time all three of the sections
coupling together automatically The
cars and engine were equipped with a
friction draft gear, which, it is claimed,
will absolutely prevent wrecks of this
kind
After the first test. Mr.. Westinghouse
had attached to the train a single phase
electric locomotive and the same expert
ment was made.
This is the first time that an electric
locomotive has even drawn such a
number of cars. The visitors were as
founded at the success of the expert
ment
The delegates were taken to the plant
of the Westinghouse company and part
of the day was spent there although
trips were made to other manufacturing
concerns throughout the city, partic-

The occasion of this review of the
