THE success of japanese physicians
during the late war has now received a
tribute in the line of medicine as we'll as
surgery. An article for La Nature trans
lated in Public Opinion says that the
Japanese have minimized the fear OF
poisoning by the custom of swallowing
several grams of charcoal upon the first
indication of gastro-intestinal disturb
ances. The action of charcoal on poisonS
was first demonstrated by the French
physician Touery in 1852, and his ex-
periments have recently been taken up
by his grandson, Professor Secheyron,
who has thus treated several cases OF
poisoning successfully. He finds that
animal charcoal is more active than vege-
table and that the charcoal must be given
in large doses dissolved in water.

A CANVASS of the principal anthracite
coal districts shows that the miners will
refuse to be bound after April l next by
the award of the Anthracite Coal Strike
Commission, unless the operators, in ad-
dition, agree to the union becoming a
signatory party. Unless there should be
an agreement between the opposing inter-
ests bv the date named 500, 600 miners
and laborsrs in the hard and soft coal
districts will quit work and the mining
industry of the entire country will be at
a standstill. This looks like coal
strike is certain, which means untold
suffering among the poor and a drain
npon the pockets of those more fortunate;
besides, such a condition would affect in
dustrial activities all over the country
and cripple commerce. Even now sncn
a menace is seriously affecting business
but there seems to be no end to strikes.

Cadets May Apologize.

The action of the board of visitors Of
the Virginia Military Institute at their
meeting in Richmond Wednesday night
last, in reiterating their demands for
suitable expressions OF regret for the in
subordinate conduct of the third class
and extending the time for such express
sion seven days, Was officially annouuc-
ed to the corps of cadets yesterday even
ing at dress parade.
After reviewing the resolution adopt
ed by the board the order closes with
the following admonition by General
Ship, the superintendent.
"The superintendent again admOnish'
es cadets of the third class of their plain
duty. Do not let obslinacy nor pride Of
opinion stand in the way of duty. All
extenuatlug circumstances have been
fully recognized by those who sat as your
Judges. The desire of all has been to
save you from the extreme consequences
of your own wrongful act. Nothing but
false pride can prevent any rational man
from expressing regret for what he ac-
knowledges he has done amiss. The
present situation constitutes a crisis in
the life of each and every one of you.
You as well as those in authority over
you have a common interest 10 main
tanning the integrity of the discipline of
the Virginia Military Institute"
The third class, and especially the
"oath- bound 49," received the order
with composure, and say that the lS
will not yield. But a rumor is that six
of the number are ready to apologize
and the others are expected to yield be-
fore the week is out.

TIE SULTAN OF TURKEY is at present

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY sat present
causing considerable conmotiOn in Eu'
rope by his plain defiance of the recent
demands made upon him in reference to
Macedonian affairs. Heretofore the
Porte has in the end yielded to force be-
fore a blow has been struck, but 1t seems
that the Ottoman government realizes
that the time has come when a line
should be drawn, and that in order to
maintain its sovereignty over what is
known as Turkey in Europe" it will
be compelled to fight, sooner or later,
and that this may be as favorable time
as any in the future. The fact that the
United States is taking no hand in the
demonstration against Turkey is favor
ably commented upon by some news
papers. There is no reason whatever
for this country to take action in the
matter.

II is unfair for Speaker Cannon to
propose to make up the House commit
tees on the basis of Twelve republicans
and FIVE democrats instead of eleven re-
publcans and six democrats. The re-
publicans have not atwo-to-one majority
in the House and the Speaker is propos-
lug to give them more than a two-to
one majority in the committees. The
work OF legislation is done in committees,
and, says the Philadelphia Record, the
only explanation Of the Speaker scheme
is that he and his associates are afraid
of the minority.

Town Charters Void.

The decision of the Court of Appeals
on Thursday which declares null and
void The charter of the town Madison
Heights, a suburb of Lynchburg, in
Amherst county, across the jams
river, caused CONSERVATION in that place
yesterday when it was realized that the
town, which has 2, 500 people, has no
government. Yesterday there was no
peace officer within six miles of the
town and the place has no protection,
except that il is within the mile limit in
which the jurisdiction of the Lynchburg
Police Court extends.
The town has improved streets, good
public schools, police force and other
municipal machinery. All are swept
away.
The decision reverses the Circuit
Court of Amherst, which sustained the
constitutionaity of the town charter.
The decision in effect is that all towns
chartered by the legislature since the
new Constitution went into effect are
null and void. There are rs or 80
other towns 10 the same boat with Madi
son Heights under this decision which
will have to get "back TO nature" pro-
vided anyone questions their right to ar
rest him, pay taxes or swing his front
gate on the outside This decision de-
clares that such charters can be issued
by the legislature ouly under a special
law provided for the purpose and that
no such law has been framed.
While the blow to Madison Heights is
severe, there are clever other cities and
towns in the State which are in the same
pitiable condition, by reason OF the Am
herst case.
These towns aud cities are not in ex-
istence under the law. their charters OF
incorporation being ipso facto void in
word, they have never been. Some have
bonded debt which is not legal. All
have officers, who are serving without
legal right.
Among those towns that fall under the
ban are:
/. Bristol.
2. Warrenton, Fauquier county.
g. Msyville, Prince William county.
4. Cedar Bluff, Tazewell county.
5. Paramount, Henrico county.
6. Parksley, Accomsc county.
7. Damascus, Washington county.
S. Vinton, Roanoke county.
9. Pocahontas, Tazewell county.
20. Narrows Giles county.
IL. La Corsse, Mecklenburg county.
These towns were all chartered, or
had their charters amended, since June,
1902, and so they fall under the opinion
OF the Supreme Court, which declares
that no town or city can be chartered or
incorporated by an act Of the legislature.
