ST. Petersburg. Russia.-There was
much comment in the papers on the
Anglo-Japanese treaty. which, it was
claimed, was not conducive to peace.
because it upset the balance Of power
in the Far East and made Great BrI-
tain and Japan predominant. The NO.
voc Vremya expresses the opinion that
# is directed against German designs
in the Far East, while the Svet de-
clares that the treaty shuts out Russia
from the Pacific and the open sea any
where in Asia. The Bourse Gazette

An interesting Historical Fact.

1t is not generally known, all
though it is an interesting histor-
ical fact, that Mr.. Lincoln in De-
cember, 1861, not year after the
commencement of hostiIities in
the civil war, recommended tc
congress in a special message, the
proposal of a constitutional amend.
ment providing compensation fcl
the slaves ia every State that
would abolish slavery before the
year 1900.
Such a message was sent by him
to congress, and a joint resolution
was promptly adopted by con
gress approving the policy.
In the January following, a bill
was passed by the house provid-
ing compensation for the slaves in
Missouri and the other border
States based on the condition oil
emancipation. This bill was de.
feated in the senate by the united
Efforts of the members from the
border States, the Northern Dem
ocrats, and the extreme Republi.
cans. And so the subject was
dropped by congress. The Dor.
der States would not have it, anc
the Confederacy was fighting fol
separation and independence, and
would listen to nothing short oi
that.

the fact that the thirteenth amend

congress, and if the Southern
States would return to the Union
they could vote on the amend

of the entire thirty-six States ther

THE MOSQUITO THEORY.
BRIEF REVIEW OF THE EXPERIMENTS
WHICH PROVED IT.
The Different Commissions That In
vestigated the Subject and What
They Discovered.


The following are extracts from
an article on the Transmission OF
Yellow Fever blythe Mosquito, by
John r. Taylor, chief of laboratory
of Las Animas Hospital, Havana,
Cuba:
"Dr. Charles P. FinIay, at the
session of the Royal Academy OF
Sciences, in Havana, Cuba, Au-
gust IA, 1881, first gave to the
world his eventful theory of the
transmission of yellow fever BY
the medium of the mosquito, re-
porting, at that time, a series oi
experiments that he had made or
human beings, by which he claim.
ed to have proved his theory. He
was the pioneer in mosquito in
ocuIations. From 1881 to 1900,
DIR. Finlay, assisted by DR..
Claudio Delgado, performed over
one hundred inoculations with
supposed infected yellow fever
mosquitoes. Time will not permit
me to dwell on these experiments,
| will simply read an extract Of
DR.. FinIay's original theory given
out in August, 1881:
" Three conditions will, there
fore, be necessary in order that
yellow fever may be propagated
1. The existence of a yellow few
er patient into whose capiIlaries
the mosquito is able to drive its
sting and5to impregnate it with
virulent particles, at an appro-
pirate stage of the disease. 2.
That the life of the mosquito be
spared after its bite on the patient
until it has chance of biting the
person in whom the disease is to
be reproduced. 8. The coinci-
dence that some of the persons
whom the same mesquite happens
to bite thereafter shall be suscep-
tible of contracting the disease. 2
'The following fact, in connec-
tion with yellow fever, are now
very generally admitted:
81. The only natural method
that is known by which yellow
fever is transmitted from sick to
healthy persons is by the bite OF
MOSQUITOES previously infected by
biting a sick person in the first
three days of an attack of yellow
fever.
.. On the fourth day of the
disease the blood no longer con-
tains the virus of yellow fever,
even when the fever is high.
"3. Up to the present time it has
not been proven that yellow fever
is transmitted by any other spe-
cies of mosquito except the one
known as Stegomyia fasciata.
Il. The infected mosquito is
only dangerous after an interval
of twelve days from the time that
it has ingested viruIent blood.
IS. Contact with a patient, per-
sonal effects, clothing, excretions,
fonites, ETC., are incapable of pro-
ducing yellow fever.
~. The virus Of yellow fever
rubbed on the denuded skin does
not give the disease.
IA. Apart from the natural
transmission by means of the bites
of infected Stegomyia fascIats
mosquitoes, the only other proved
method by which it has been pos.
sible to transmit yellow fever ar
tifcially consists in injecting non.
immunes simultaneously with vel
low fever blood.
10. Yellow fever can only
spread In regions where the Ste
gomyia fasciata prevail.
1T. 1t is possible to eliminate
yellow fever from the world By
three methods: i. Mosquito
proof isolation Of all cases, inelud-
ing those suspicious. 2. Thorough

and make a stirring personal appeal
through them to the people to rally to
the support Of the Russian arms and
cooperate in prosecuting the war to
successful termination.
Such a personal appeal from the
sovereign undoubtedly would have a
powerful effect throughout the country
and for the dynasty would have an ad-

she was not poisoned. DR.. Jordan has
