Berlin, Feb. 23.-The emperor Of

His position is absolutely firm and
the German court has been advised in
that sense.
The war will be pressed with the ut
most energy, the domestic situation

The strikers paraded Czerinakowskas

tories and forced the workmen to leave.
Troops were summoned and it is re-
ported fred on the strikers.
The police arrested many persons,
but the threats of the mob compelled
them to release their prisoners.

No trains are running in either direc-

some employees and to grant nine-hour

IRISH PARTY JARS
1.-THE GOVERNMENT
Redmond Startles Chief Secretary
for Ireland into Disclosures
Before Parliament.

London, Feb. 23.-Encouraged by the
reduced government majority in the di-
vision of the house of commons Tues
day night, the Irish party unexpectedly
returned to the attack yesterday more
fiercely than ever. John Redmond gave
notice of a motion to adjourn in order
to discuss the conditions under which
Sir Anthony Macdonald holds the post
of under secretary to the lord lieutenant
OF Ireland. This move came as a sur
prise and caught the government off it's
guard. -a.5 -. -.
The debate lasted till midnight, when
a motion to adjourn was defeated by a
vote Of 265 to 1913; but Mr.. Redmond
scored point by compelling Mr.. Wynd-
ham, chief secretary for Ireland, to read
the correspondence between himself and
was shown that the under secretary was
given extraordinary powers and author
lied to arrange for coordination in the
control and direction of boards and ad-
ministrative agencies. It was also
shown that Premier Balfour had con-
Cured in this arrangement.
John Morley scathingly assailed the
government administration in Ireland.
He said Sir Anthony Macdonald had
ing what he had warned them he would
do, and which they had invited him to
carry out. The earl Of Dudley, lord lieu
tenant Of Ireland, Mr.. Morley said, had
been oyerthrown by the premier, and
the. under secretary's conduct was de-
lscribed as indefensible. ..-- +.
"What .picture,'' said Mr.. Morley,
"of fusion of administrative forces. :
Mr.. Morley admitted, however, that
nothing was shown by the correspond

Chicago, Feb. 23.--'ts AS the number Of

in lecture under the auspices of the
University of Chicago in the Fine Arts
building last night
"In the first and eighteenth wards
of Chicago, the clearinghouse wards, the
number Of people in39one room is large
and the death rate from consumption
is IS per cent. '&sS
"In the sixth ward, and the wealthy
wards Of the North. Side, altho the NUM-
Der of people to3the acre is more than
the poorer wards, the number to the
room is not as great, and the death
rate from tuberculosis is only 10 per
cent. g.
Gin the stockyards district there are
few people to the acre, yet the death
rate is appalling. All the conditions
which poverty brings about are con-
ducive to tuberculosis. q

suitable climate, the best way to cure
the disease at home is to use the fire

Doctors Say MediSai Treatment
and X-Rays May Check the
Disease.
New York Sun Special Service,

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Cancer, the most
= malignant form Of tumors, and one Of
an inoperable variety, was found when
President William r. Harper underwent
a surgical exploration yesterday:
The head Of the University Of Chica-
90 is expected to recover rapidly from
the operation, but as the growth proved
too far advanced to be removed, the
consensus of physicians is that DR.. Har-
per cannot live more than SIX months or
- at the most one year.
AS soon as the distinguished patient

as cancer cure will be tried, but even
the most optimistic hope thereby tor
nothing more than a brief respite for
the sufferer.

tration proved much larger than antici-
pated.
during the hour and ten minutes that
DR.. Harper was under the knife: When
DR.. Harper was removed from the oper-
the third floor, Samuel Harper came
down stairs with an unsteady step and
: his face was deathly pale.
Scores Of newspapermen, many from
out-of-town publications., guessed the
result Of the physicians work as soon
as they saw Young Harper:
A few minutes later the following
bulletin caused the visible tension OF all
to change into quiet resignation:
The operation on President Harper was
performed by DR.. McBurney and COM
pleted at $3.50 o'clock A condition OF
tbickenng of the posterior wall Of the
head Of the colon (the blind intestine)

senterium was found. The entire removal
Of diseased tissue was deemed impossible
by the surgeons and the wound was
closed. It was the opinion Of DR.. Nc
Burney and DR.. Bevan that the disease
Is carcinoma (cancer).. It has been de-
cided that President Harper shall be
placed upon medical and x-ray treatment
with the reasonable hope that the dis
ease may be checked. 1t is anticipated
that President Harper will make a
speedy convalescence. Frank Billings.
