A STIR IN ENGLAND.
Official Opinion on the Mains
Alleged Disclosures Lacking.

London, Oct. THE Mathis disclosures,
purporting to give details in connection with the
resignation of the French Foreign Minister, NJ.
Deicasse because of the Moroccan situation, and
the statement that Great Britain not only
rnunicated to France her intention of supporting
France in case of war with Germany but gave
details of her intentions regarding the place for
the landing of troops and the seizure of the Kiel
Canal created much talk in diplomatic circles
to-day and are published in all the afternoon
newspapers. In official quarters, however.
expression of opinion was obtainable. Lord
Lansdowne was absent from the city, and, con-
seuuentIy. It was impossible to obtain definite
statement regarding Great Britain's action at
the time Of the crisis. At that time The Asso-
ciated Press obtained a statement from high
official of the British Foreign Office, which. to
certain extent supports the assertions of the
'Matin.'
The statement referred to said that Great Britain
would welcome a defensive alliance with France,
because it would insure long continuance of Euro
pean peace by acting a check TO German am
bitions The official characterized the charges
made in the German press against Great Britain
of seeking to involve France in with Ger
many as absolutely contrary the facts. and said:
France certainly is not desirous of war with
Germany and if Great Britain, as alleged, urged
nS not 20 NOV seisy @ that fTiendiess toward us
which is apparent all sides
When Germany created the controversy with
France over Morocco. the British government in
formed the French government that 1t would sup
rort il in whatever policy ii decided pursue.
Accordingly, Great Britain declined to take part
in the intcrna tional conference when France de-
,;iIned and accepted when France reconsidered the
decision but any charge that we sought to bring
about war or failed to our good offices TO pre-
vent conflict is absolutely false. We would un-
doubtedly have stood by France in any confiict
over the Moroccan question but we do not want
conflict. and desire an understanding with France
solely 10 insure peace.
Great Britain at war would suffer infinitely great
er ae-cial losses than her adversary For one
thing entire shipping trade would go 70 Anner-
tca and the people would overthrow any govern
rrlent assuming aggressive attitude
The ofhcial also said that diplomatic relations
betveen Germany and Great Britain were not in
the least strained and that there had never been
serious difi3ulties between the two governments.

HOSTILITY To GERMANY.
Bitterness IN France Would Britain
Have Supported Latter IN Var 2

Paris, Oct. IA marked reaction in public
sentiment has followed the Franco German ac-
cord concerning the Morocco conference, Many
of the leading newspapers renewing their
campaign OF criticism against Germany. This is
due principally to Chancellor Won Bulow's open
statements favoring Russo German rapproche-
ment. The ''Matin' reviews the circumstances
OF NJ. Delcasses retirement from the Foreign
cidents occurred in connection with the change
NJ. Delcasse is represented as making a. speech
to the Ministry warning them that if thev yield
ed to the German demands concerning Morocco
the Ministry thereafter would always be subject
to German dctation.
The 'Natin" further asserts that Great Britain
conveyed definite assurances to France os her
readiness to mobilize the British feet. with the
view of adopting aggressive measures if Ger
many attacked France.

IN st. Petersburg.

Moscow, Oct. THE strike here has spread to
the bakers There is only sufficient white bread
to last two days. The large crowds of strikers
in the streets are assuming a threatening atti-
tude. The employees of the street railroads. who
have ioined the strike. have left many of the
cars useless.
st. Petersburg, Oct. THE strike movement
eft Moscow is causing uneasiness among the au-
thorities here not only on account of the threat
ening nature of the demonstrations at Moscow
but also owing to the probability of their ex-
tending to ST. Petersburg and other cities and
starting wave of labor troubles similar to that
which followed in the wake Of the January dis
orders. The press dispatches report that gem
darnne. an officer and policeman have been
killed by the Moscow mob.
There is a strong strike sentiment among the
St. Petersburg printers. and revolutionary
procIamations are being distributed among the
UorknIen declaring that the Moscow strikes are

on the track despite the efforts of policemen,
the ovation continuing several minutes.

peared for his trial at o'clock. The track was
lightning fast, and there was no wind SO the
weather conditions were ideal. Scott Hudson
was behind the pacemaker

books offered to either way on the result
There were cheers when 0:291s was hung out
for the first quarter. Dan Patchs nose was
almost against Hudsons coat, and the crowd
began vainly yelling to Hudson to move up.
Hope was stimulated when 0:5Ti9 was posted
for the half Excitement became intense when
the three-quarters was passed in 1:26A. and the
spectators began shouting encoura cement TO the
drivers Into the stretch the great PAGER came,
still keeping his even, seemingly effortless stride
with the runner at his sulky wheel. Hudson
gave a little more rein. but Hersey sat like a
statue, not urging his charge with whip or word.
Dan Patch made no last supreme effort. He

content with third money. The betting was
the heaviest of the meeting.

CALLS IT 'T. c.
Professor Vop Behring'S Name for
NeY tuberculosis Cure.

Paris Oct. AT the closing session of the
International tuberculosis Congress to-day Pro-
fessor Won Behrfng made statement relative
10 his new curative principle for tuberculosis.
and it was decided TO hold the next congress at
washington in 1908.
Professor Behring's statement attracted much
attention. Prominent medical men from many
countries occupied the platform and filed the
sslon Of the Grand Palace. The professor said:
In the course Of the last two years recog-
nszed with certainty the existence of a curative
principle completely different from the anti
toxic principle. This new curative principle
plays an essential role in the operation of the
immunity derived from my bovovaccine which
mas proved effective against animal tuberculosis
during the last four years. This curative prin :
clple reposes upon the iTnpregnation OF the liv-
ing cells OF the organism with a substance origi-
aatlng from tuberculose virus, which substance
oesssnate ST. c..
Professor Behring then gave long technical
description Of how "T c." was introduced into
the cellular organism, and said it had already
given marked results in the treatment OF ami
mails The professor expressed the belief that
his researches would show similar curative re-
cults In humans. He added that he was unable
20 say how soon positive results would be shown.
but he felt as certain Of these results as when
he announced his discovery OF a new method for
treating diphtheria
The American delegates were interested listen
ers to Professor Behring'S statement. Later
they were asked whether the present state OF
medical science held out the hope Of a perma-
nent cure Of tuberculosis. DR.. Lawrence r.
Flick, of Philadelphia, In behalf Of the American
delegation. said:
The present state OF medical science holds out
good prospect of permanent cure OF tubercu-
sosls when the disease is taken in it's early
stages This. however, is not through specific
remedy, but by proper alirnentation and open
sir life. with exercise duly restricted II the
present knowledge concerning the means of pre-
venting tuberculosis was generally applied it is
safe 20 say that tuberculosis would be stamped
out of civilized countries within twenty-five
years.
President Loubet entertained the congress at
dinner ST the Elysee Palace tonight The Pres
tdenf in proposing the health OF the chiefs of the
States represented. said he hoped that the con-
sress to De held in the United States In 1903
would add a fresh contribution TO ths oivilizing
and humanitarian work in which It was en-
esged.
