Lake Street Transfers.

To the Editor of The Journal.
& am under the impression that the
Minneapolis Street Railway company got
it's franchise for it's Lake street line with
the understanding that passengers would
have the privilege of a second transfer
to that line, but find by experience that
such is not the case. If there is such
provision in the ordinance allowing the
street railway company to occupy Lake
street. how can the company refuse to
comply with it? "A. L. N.
The completion Of the Lake street line
had no effect on the general transfer sys-
tenn of the city provided for by the Har-
vey ordinance. Conductors on the Lake
street line have instructions, however,
from the company to issue transfers on
whatever form of transportation is of
fered It is the only line in the city on
which transfers are issued for transfers.
Transfers will not be issued to the Lake
street line, however, upon any other than
cash fare. In that respect the Lake
street line is not different from any other
line If, for example, one has q. transfer
from the Sixth avenue N line to the Har-
riet line, he cannot get another transfer
to the Lake street line. That is to say,
transfer to the Lake street line will not
be issued to a passenger who has already
been transferred from another line. But
if one starting from Washburn Park,
for example, on the Washburn Park
line, asks for a transfer to the Lake
street line, he may obtain transfer
from the Lake street line to any other
intersecting line. The company refuses to
grant a transfer to the Lake street line
from line on which the passenger al
ready carries a transfer, holding that the
passenger should take the intersecting
line which would carry him nearest to the
desired point on the Lake street line or
else pay a second fare. ID

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PERISH.
Typhoon's Frlghtiul Havoc on Chinese
Islands.

Victoria, B. C., (By Cable).-The
steamer Tartar, which arrivel from the
Orient, brought news from Shanghai
that the loss Of life among the natives of
the island at the mouth of the Yangtse
River, as a result of the typhoon at the
beginning of September, was tremen-
dous. The North China Daily News, Of
Shanghai, says:
ITO the east of Tamagming two is
lands, one called Yawosha, the other
Shihiousha, distant about 20 miles from
Woosung, have suffered much from the
typhoon, nearly all the inhabitants hav-
ing been swept away. The islands have
only been inhabited for a short time,
comparatively speaking, as they are of
recent formation and not much above
high-water mark 1t is reported that
nearly 10000 people have been drowned
on these two islands and the smaller
islands adjacent. Tamagming itself has
not suffered much, being well above the
high-water mark"
The Shanghai papers say that the
damage TO the Canadian Pacific Railroad
liner Empress of Japan by the typhoon
will necessitate the expenditure of $780,

down by Charles Thomas, son-in-law Of
his former wife, while the former Mrs.
Green tried to cut out his organ of

Green is now in hospital, where the
doctors are in doubt whether the al

pen and ink while he lay in the police
station, after being found bleeding in
his home.
In the affidavit Green asserts that he
was at work in his home when Mrs.
Martha Fannon, his former wife, and
Thomas entered. Green refused to re-
tract anything he had said about the
woman. At this point Thomas joined
in the attack with knife. After he
and Green had been severely cut in nu-
merous places, Thomas got Green down
on the floor and held him. The en-
ragged Thomas, according to Green's
story, then handed the knife to Mrs.

papers are scarce, the striking printers
having waylaid the supplies and torn
them to pieces.
Sunday the crowds on the Iverskoy
Street Boulevard assumed threatening
proportions. The police and military,
horse and foot, with Cossacks, were
fully prepared A pitched battle took
place. The troops, who fired three vol
lcys rontbauk at the people, were met
by the crowd with stones and revolvers.
il is impossible 10 estimate the casual
ties. as, according to custom, immedi-
ately the mob was dispersed the streets
were cordoncd and the dead and wound
ed removed into yards, the gates OF
which were closed.
Ii is feared that the workmen to the
number Of 10000 employed in the great
factories may join the demonstration.
The populacc is eXasperated to the last
degree less by the open street fighting
than by the action of the police against
all and sundry after the disturbance had
been quelled.
This was q repetition OF what hap

the police and troops in an absolute pos
session OF more rights than a civilized
army would employ against an enemy in
time OF war. In virtue OF the proclama-
ton the police seize any person they
please. Any preteXt is sufficient for an
arrest.
After the fighting was over boys and
youths, men and women we're dragged
into the prefeci's courtyard, the gates Of
which were then closed. Thcreupon began
what is known as giving lesson to the
"intellectuals.' Scores were taken TO a
long table, along the sides OF which
were drawn up two lines OF picked
troops, mostly Cossacks The victims
were made to run the gauntlet. There
were so men on each side, who brutally
struck them with whips and the butt
ends OF rifles.
The victims OF this ferocious brutality
are forced to run the gauntlet until they
drop fainting or dead They are then
picked up and removed to prison, the

creatures are then taken straight from
the street to this peculiar Russian form
of execution without the possibility OF

firm the report, but it is certain that 4

turned to the barracks after the collision

PROF. BEHRING'S FIND

Professor Bebring VIII, However, Hold the

That From Now on Victims Of the Disease

Paris (By Cable .-Professo Behring,
who discovered the serum treatment for
dphtheria, and who is one of the most
famous of the Pasteur Institute experts,
informs the Matin that he intends to pro-
claim next August method of curing
tuberculosis, which he has discovered.
He says that the method involves the
use of neither serum nor vaccine, but
that II is a preventive, as well as cura-
tive remedy. He will hold the secret
some time, as he did in the case OF his
diphtheria serum
He will explain the method to Drs.
Roux and Mentchikoff and leave the ap-
plication of it TO medical practitioners
without revealing the nature Of the rem
edy, because he thinks he has a right
to reserve temporarily the profits of the
discovery TO enable him to prosecute
other researches.
Professor Behring added From to-
day onward the victims Of tuberculosis
may hope again"
The Nobel prize in medicine. the value
OF which was $4,000, was awarded to
Professor Behring in 1901 for his meth
Cd OF rendering cattle immune from tu-
bercuosis by incubation.
In a lecture delivered shortly afterward
in Stockholm, Behring said that he would
devote the prize money to further expert
ments in the same field In April of the
next year proof sheets of book by
Behring upon this method were given
out. The book gave the result OF six
years OF Investigation and experiment.
In the following May the success Of
his serum treatment for diphtheria was
noted in the official statistics of Berlin,
where death rate Of 1900 TO 1000 was
cut down in 1901 TO 400 by use Of the
serum
In March, 1908 he made public the
fact of the extension OF his tuberculin
experiments to human beings and ex-
pressed the belief that they would be
successful.
The delegates 10 the international Tu-
berculosis Congress spent the day visit
