THE TARIFF.

The tariff situation grows in interest. It was decided at the conference held at the White House Saturday afternoon that there will be no special session of congress in the spring to deal with tar if revision, but the talk is that while the President has reluctantly abandon ed his original idea of a session in the early spring, in deference to the strong protests that have come from his sup porters in the senate and house, he is eager that the strong demand for some modification in the existing schedules be made as soon as possible. The con- ference at the White House on Satur- day afternoon was the first step look ing to the formulation of a definite scheme of revision. Other conferences will follow. When all is ready a caucus of Republican congressman will be held to put before the country in definite terms just what notifications the par y HI PoNSL iS ASeluS lo 4hohS HI tAS tariff law. The President hopes that this preliminary work may be done in time to permit the extra session to be held in June. In any event, it is not probable that he will delay his sum- mons later than September 15. Mem bers have a strong objection to legislat- ing in midsummer in Washington, and delays may be employed to postpone action until the first cool days arrive.
 It is gravely announced that nobody need fear that the existing tariff sys- tenn is going to be upset. Some of the existing schedules may be sealed gently. That will be all.

THE B Esr NOT 100 coon

The rich can afford to De particular, so it is not surprising to know that the rich United States folks wont have inferior gems. The precious stones of Brazil. including diamonds, sapphires, amethysts, rubies and pearls, which for the most part were formerly bought up by dealers in. the United States, are now taken almost wholly by European houses. American firms are too exact- ing in their requirements, and the Brazilians find it to their advantage to dispose of their gems to the less par ticular dealers of France Germany and Switzerland. These and other interest ing, facts have recently been secured by the Brazilian agent of the interna- tional Bureau of the American Repub- lies. This agent reports that there is no longer any trade with the United States in Brazilian diamonds, as the Americans demand only the better class of stones. There IS little sale in the United States for stones which are de- fective in color or character or are too small to cut to a half carat or better, the price of labor being so high that small stones cannot be cut with profit, even if the cutter, whp generally works by the carat, does not refuse to cut them. The demand for the cut stones is small, as Americans go in for stones large enough to have individual set- tings. The chief market for the small stones is France, where g. speciality is made of work with the smallest va- rieties,

cause or origin of cancer. and We have been unable to do so. although we have exploded popular theories. When we know what life is think We will then know what cancer is. No more is known about its origin now than at the beginning of the Christian era. It is a supreme mystery. On present lines of investigation the cause of true cancer will never be learned. Our only hope is in some new method. No discovery has been made which offers any hope of cure of cancer which begins to compare with the surgeons knife. Just one thing can be done for cancer, and wish it could be impressed on the pub lie, for it would save thousands of lives. That is, get it out early and quickly. Cancer can be completely cured if the patient is operated on early and completely. Drugs have never 1 cured cancer. Certain superficial can cers can be cured by the X-ray. but for deep cancers this method is of no value whatever. About fifteen years ago, when it was discovered that many diseases were caused by bacteria, some physicians believed that cancer might be caused by protozoa, an animal para site. This opinion was a popular one, and was formed because certain physi- clans found cancer bodies in cancer cells resembling very low forms of ami nal life. We have learned that these cancer bodies are exceptions. and have, therefore, exploded that theory. oth- CTS asserted that the cancer bodies were yeasts or vegetable parasites. and were the direct cause of cancer, but our experiments prove that theory wrong. A third idea is that cancer is due to errors of development, and a great many facts make that probable.
 Of course this will not diminish the number of "cancer cures," and it is not very encouraging, but it is the best that can be said ROW. That being so it is well to have it said.

RUSSI4'S FIN4A CEs.

The war has cost Russia so far about $500, O,0OO,0o0, and her financial condition is decidedly interesting, especially since the fall of Port Arthur. German and Dutch bankers have taken the new Russian loan of $S1,000OO0 Formerly all Russian loans were brought out at Paris and discouraged at Berlin. Po- litical motives influenced Frenchmen to put, their savings into their ally's bonds, while like motives caused Bismarck to dissuade Berlin bankers from vitalizing Russian policy with their cash. Now the leanings are the other way. French bankers are so heavily loaded up with Russian bonds that they are indisposed to take any more. If they accept the allotment that Berlin is willing to make to them they will do it, it is said, only to protect their present holdings from slump. The French people are said to hold s1,6O0, 100000 of Russian secur- ities, and for this reason very much de- sire the termination of the present war. Their interest in Russia's success | is financial. The German government, on the other hand, consents, it is said, to the bringing out of the loan at Der lin, partly because it wishes to cement close ties with Russia in Europe, but chiefly because German and Russian in terests in the Far East are to some ex- tent identical.
 | Russias credit isn't anything extra. The syndicate gave Russia, it is under stood, 90 12 for bonds redeemable at par after six years, at the option of the holders, making the rate of interest vir- tually 1-2 per cent. If the war doesn't stop soon she will be in a tight place financially.
