NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE New
York cable regarding the offer made
by one of the wealthiest men OF that
city to present $4,000 to DR.. Behrlng
If he would make known his treatment
for the cure of consumption, has eX-
cited great interest in Paris, says
cable dispatch from Paris to the Her
aid. A Herald correspondent called
on DR.. Behring, who said;
"I may say at once that [ could not
entertain an offer of the kind in such
form.
"I have made it a principle never to
accept any aid of this kind from private
individuals.
Secondly, I could not submit my IN
vestigations to the control of commit
tee, however eminent, as [ could have
no certainty that it's members had the
necessary qualifications as bacterlolo-
gists to conduct such delicate task
"It would be another thing if the Of
fer came from the American govern
ment or from some organized scientific
institution and was made in recogni-
ton of the services L had rendered to
science and humanity by the discovery
of the serums against diphtheria ana
tetanus.
1T is, however, a mistake TO imagine
that 1 have kept my new discovery
secret. This is not so. But 1 have
chosen and will continue to choose the
persons to whom 1 make the communi-
cation. My only desire is to have such
collaboration as 1 know will advance the
matter.
'It is only by leaving such delicate
Investigations in the hands of duly
qualified men of science that progress

lines and their connections have been
awarded a contract by the navy de-
partment for the transportation of a
large number of marines that are to be
sent across the continent en- route to
the Philippines during the next several
months. 1t is expected that an average
of $50 marines will be moved each
month for some months to come. Some
of the marines will take the places of
time-expired men now in the islands,
but the great majority are to make up
the increased organization decided upon
by the navy department. There are
now 900 marines on duty in the Philip
pines and this number is to be in
creased gradually to 1000.
