WAR ON CANCER PROGRESSES
British scientist's Experience with
Mice Leads Him to HeDe
for Care.

LONDON. Aug. is.-tspecial cablsgram 70
The Bee.)-rhere is a possibility OF the
mystery OF the terrible disease OF cancer
being solved at no very remote date.
This was hinted AT when the results OF
the experiments made during the year by
the imperial cancer research fund were
described at the annual meeting by Dr..
Bashford. the general superintendent OF
the funds laboratory. lie dealt chiefly
with the results OF the incubation OF 100.
600 mice
The scientists. he said. are now able to
rep oduce at will IN mice all tho features
OF spontaneous cancer, and 10 protect
healthy mice from all the consequences
OF in1culaung them with expei mental
cancer. This having been achieved Il is
not too much TO hope that the further de-
velopment OF the experimental study OF
cancer will yield results having a direct
bearing on the nature and treatment OF the
disease. says Dr. Bashford.

GALVESTON Tex, Aug. ls.-Valparaiso
has been wrecked by earthquake and f1re
and the few buildings that escaped serious
damage from the Quakes have either
burned or are In Immediate danger of be-
ing burned. The people are panic stricken
and all attempts at organization have
proved futile. Martial law has been pro-
claimed and an effort is being made to calm
the people, but with little hope, as the
ouakes still continue up to this afternoon,
FIVE shocks being felt today, although not
% frequent or violent, but enough to keep
the people In a state of terror.
The Mexican cable was in operation all
day to Valparaiso, but to interior points all
overland wires are down and 1t will be sew
eral days before they are destroyed The
entire business portion OF Valparaiso has
been destroyed.
The authorities win not permit any lights
in the buildings, and at dark the cable
office was closed for the night. The dead
end injured are estimated at 1000. while
wild rumors place the figures at A0oo
However owing to the lack OF a syste-
matte report, all figures are speculation.
The shocks have continued since Thurs
day night and five slight shocks were felt
today. The operators Of the cable COM
pany have deserted their posts. with one
exception. The shipping in the harbor
escaped damage and every vessel is a hs-
ven for refugees. All buildings have been
deserted. Practically, nothing has been
done In the way OF clearing wrecks or
searching for dead bodies, and laborers
refuse to enter the ruins because OF the
continued shocks. Soldiers will force the
rescue work tomorrow.

tured not only Paris. but all France. One
French newspaper maze a canvass and
discovered that the members of the party
had already received over 1900 offers Of
marriage. 1t may be taken as indica tive
of the good sense of the average American
beauty or peach" that UP to the present
time none of these offers has been ae-
cepted.

Matte Kay Hughes, a stately Kentucky
belle, retorted: How can We help it?

Goes TO Vote.

DUBLIN. Aug is-(spscial Cablegram to
The Bee.)A number OF Americans are
| making n business tour OF ireland. Their
! object Is 10 learn by actual observation
what opportunities ireland offers for the
investment Of American capital. the belief
being that Irish-Amerieans might share in
the industrial revival The visit has been
in response to DR.. Douglas Hydes invita-
ton when he Was in America. Prof
Thomas Taylor musical director Of
irish Choral Society OF America, is A. =.
here to study the possibilities OF Irish musr'
for choral use in America. The party com,
prlses over eighty persons. and is n very
representative gathering OF 1rishAmer-
leans. It is headed by the Rev J. X. Field
ing OF Chicago. who has given the Gaelic
league and Industrial movements in Ire
land spirited and practical support Father
Fielding originally came from Mooncoin,
County Kilkenny. Mr.. F. Lahire. former
city collector Of Chicago. also accompanies
the party on It's tour through Ireland.
Amongst the eighteen votes in the ma
jority which constitutes that brilliant young
Irish Nationalist, Mr. Thomas Kettle, mem
Der of Parliament, Is one registered under
circumstances which are probably with
out precedent The Rev. Father Toner,
Pittsburg. United States came all the way
from that distant city 10 register his vote
for the nationalist candidate. He promptly
embarked on the return voyage when that
duty was performed without even waiting
for the result He first heard the news
Of the victory by wireless telegram far
out on the Atlantic It adds to the stir
ring romance of the incident that Father
Toner, Mr. Andrew Kettle 0ather Of the
member for East Tyrone), and Canon Nc
Cartan. his most influential supporter in the
contest, formed in the old days, when
the agrarian agitation had Just begun, a
brilliant triumvirate who did battle for the
tenants. The incident illustrates the en-
thusiasm and the determination with which
this latest election was fought. Up to
the last the Orange unionist party fought
with desperate tenacity and the leaders OF
the organization were confident of success.
Amongst the recent visitors to the ma
tional gallery of Ireland have been M. Du-
rand-Ruel, of Paris. and Mr.. Roger Fry
the newly appointed director of-the New
York Metropolitan museum. Both these
gentlemen are included amongst the best
living Judges of pictures and both expressed
themselves as delighted and surprised at

the most important function since his ar

OF foreign affairs. In proposing the health
OF President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and
the people of the United States said the
moment was propitious for drawing closer
the bonds Of amity uniting the two nations
and adding to the material and moral
solidarity of American integrity.
I Mr. Root, when he rose to reply, was
accorded a great ovation. Tracing the pol
icy of the United States for over CEN
tury. he said the United States had never
employed and never would employ Its army
or navy for the collection Of debts con-
tracted by governments or private indi-
viduals. Such measur~s. he said, lent them
selves to speculation and were based on
sordid objects.
Favors Arbitration.
He was an advocate OF arbitration and
mediation and all other elements that made
for peace. The matters were in the hands
of the people, who SHOULD be incuicated
with a spirit of humanity and just con-
sideration for others, so that neither gov
ernments presidents nor congresses could
enter upon a war policy. which was de-
structive OF all the higher qualities Of man
kind.
The secretary spoke OF the phenomenal
progress OF the Argentine Republic, adding
that what he had seen during his brief
stay here had rendered all his previous
knowledge Of the country, obtained from
books. magazines and newspapers, of little
value as indications Of the present great
ness of Argentina.
Mr.. Root concluded with an eloquent
tribute 10 Buenos Ayres. its people. insti-
tutions hospitality and splendor, and re-
sumed his seat amidst the greatest enthu-
siasm, flowers being showered on him from
all parts of the house. The banquet will
long be remembered by the Argentina peo-
pie and may be considered to be the inau-
eliFstion of a new era In the relations be-
