NOVEL THEORY.
Ideas About Pain and Disease Are
Reversed by German Doctor.

Ideas About Pain and Disease Are
Reversed by German Doctor.
A discovery which Overturns all
popular notions about pain and in
fiammation has been reported to the
medical profession of New York city
by Prof. Spiess, of Munich
According to the German scientist
it is pain which causes Inflammation,
and not Inflammation which causes
pain.
For instance, in the case of a sore
throat it is the pain which produces
the Inflammation. The swelling APP
pears to be, Prof. Spiess says, the re-
suit of a reflex action, transmitted by
the sensory nerves. What causes the
pain is as yet mystery.
Under this novel theory infiamma-
tory diseases are cured by applying
an anaesthetic locally, which takes
away the pain. After the pain is gone
the Inflammation disappears. The an
aesthetic used should be such as
affects only the nerves involved, and
not the vasomotor nerves which
regulate the blood supply.
AS a proof of his theory Professor
Spiess cites that wounds on the in
sane often heal without inflammation,
their nerves being too dull to origi-
nate pain.

GEN. STOEsSEL WILL LIVE
WILL ADVANCE TO HIGHER HON
ORS INSTEAD OF BEING SHOT.
Gar Will Not Approve Verdict of the
Court Martial in the Case of the
Heroic Russian Commander.


The car of Russia will not approve
| the court-martial sentence against
General Stoessel nor order his pun
, ishment in any form for the surrender
of Port Arthur. On the contrary, he
will most likely cancel the courtmar-
tial proceedings from the military rec
ords of Russia and confer higher
rank and honors on the bravest SOL
der that ever defended citadel to the
last extremity.
In order to understand the Stoessel
case and quiet the natural indigna-
ton of all honorable men who read
the kilograms announcing the death
sentence some knowledge of Russian
militarylaw is necessary.
For centuries, says the Atlanta
News, it has been the rule of law in
the military establishment of the car
to call to severe scrutiny and account
every man holding a command and
who has happened to disaster of
arms. The Russian dogma is that
Russian arms must be invincible, and
that when failure of victory is re-
corded it must be presumed to be the
fault, equal to a crime, of the COM
mander. In every such case court
martial is inevitable. 1t is the law of
the case.
But a court-martial in Russia is
not, as with US, a proceeding in equi-
tv. 1t is a rigid proceeding upon the
presumption of the guilt of the accus-
Sc o~sxy
ties to prove his innocence. The GER
tainty of his being found guilty on the
technical principles of the military
law is assumed from the start, and the
sentence is practically predetermined
by the gravity of the charge. After
all, however, in case like that of
General StOessel the entire proceed
ing is pro forma to vindicate the law.
General Stossel's case will now go
to the car, through the ministry of
war, for his action. He will ex-
ercise his autocratic authority and
not only grant full amnesty to Gems
eral Stossel, but do what his laws
heretofore have prevented in advance
of this -martial-advance him to
higher rank, honors and command.
The civilized world has unani-
mously applauded the heroic defense
of Port Arthur by General Stoessel.
True, it did not become his tomb, as
he at first predicted, but it became in
its ruins a pedestal on which the mill
tary consensus of all nations has
placed him as an Incomparably brave,
stubborn and faithful defender of his
charge, his flag and the honor of his
ear.

him and to celebrate mass and an
Office in his honor.
Of saints by papal decree the
number is comparatively small. Up
to the time of Plus TX there were
only lis Papal lamentations, and
under the long pontificate of Leo
there were fewer than a dozen.
Fourteen Steps.
A condition precedent to canoni-
zation is Qualification. This con-
sists of fourteen distinct steps.
The candidate must be one who is
alleged to have practiced in life in
heroic degree faith, hope and
charity. The first step is the
bishops inquiry, which is made as
exhaustive as possible to ascertain
whether the person was eminent in
the exercise of those virtues.
Then comes an inquiry as to wheth-
er there has ever been any cultus.
The next step is a report on these
points to the secretary of the con-
gregation of rites. The fourth step
is the opening of this report and
the presentation of a formal request
that the person be called blessed.
Next after this Promoter Fidei"
is appointed by the pope. 1t is the
duty of this officer to urge all the
objections that he can find against
the candidate for the honor. The
sixth step is minute examination
of all the writings of the one for
whom Qualification is sought, and
then the congregation of rites pro-
ceeds to an investigation of the mir
acles said to have been performed.
An interval of ten years must
elapse between this and the next
stage of the procedure, the appoint
ment of three bishops or high func-
tionaries to review the work of the
examiners into the miraculous
deeds.
promoter Fidei"
Their report is the next move and
this is followed by the argument
of the secretary to the congrega-
ton and Promoter Fidei. " Then
the final report, if favorable, is
read at three general assemblies Of
the congregation. At the last as
sembly the Pope himself is present
and renders his decision. Then
there is a general congregation,
held at the vatican, the briefs are
read, the TIE Deum chanted, the inn
ages or pictures on the altar are
and incensed and the new
collect is read.
Before the beatified can be canon
lied at least two miracles must have
been performed, The name OF the
beatifed one is then presented
again to three congregations, at the
last of which the final ceremonies
take place. These various stages
extend over centuries,
so that there is little chance OF the
present generation ever being able
to invoke the blessings OF Saint
Columbus. "

HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY /.

Plenty of Wealth Lying Around
Loose in Liberia.
Wealth in abundance awaits those
who have the perseverance and hardi-
hoodto grapple with the strenuous task
of developing certain parts of north AT
RIGA. Take Liberia, for instance. The
country was made for the agricultur-
lists, the climate is kind to the white
man, it is rich and willing, and for
labor expended will repay with boun-
teous crops. The principal products
are coffee, cotton, plassava, cocoa,
rubber, nuts and fruits.
The forests are magnificent and I'M
worked. Twenty-Five different kinds
of rubber trees are found, and cam
wood is plentiful. Gold and silver
exist in paying quantities. The
cultivation of the soil is neglected
and the product scanty. Labor re-
ceives as compensation only "a cents
a day together with rations, which
consists of one quart of rice and one
pound of dried fish. There are no
public highways.
The same crude methods of farming
that were in voge centuries ago still
exist. The pillow is seldom if ever
used, and the hoe and knife are the
chief implements of agriculture. The
cultivation of the rubber tree would
bring great wealth. Cotton grows
everywhere in the interior, and with
proper cultivation would yield enor-
mously. The soil of Liberia is emf
nently adapted to the cultivation of
rice and seven kinds are grown.

Turkish Ruler Has Not Heard OF
McKinley's Death.

MCCARTNEY DC@Ch'
Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister IN
the United States, who has been at
Washington for the last four years,
has not yet presented his credentials.
The official reason given by Cheklb
Bev for not presenting his credentials
is that those papers must, of course,
he made out to President Roosevelt as
president of the United States and
that nobody in COnstantinople has
the hardiblood to tell Abdul Hand
of a change of administration that
would involve an explanation of the
fact that President Mckinley met his
death at the hands of an assassin.
So great is the horror of the sultan
on the subject of assassination, OF
the worlds rulers that not one of his
subjects dares to tell him that Presl-
dent Mckinley was murdered.
It was in connection with an amend
ment proposed by Senator Knox to
the diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill, providing that the
American legation at Constantlnople
be raised to the rank of an embassy,
that the queer facts regarding CheKlo
Bey's status in Washington became
known.

There was calamity of the Vesu-

extinction of the Neapolitap oyster.
The Bay of Naples produced an oys-
ter esteemed by epicures as the choicest
in all Italy. For the present, at least,
the Neapolitan oyster is an extinct
species. According to Prof. Doru,
director of the aquarium of Naples,
the ashes from the volcano falling in
the bay have covered the bottom to
such depth that every oyster in the
beds were smothered, and the beds
themselves hopelessly buried.

aIO0ue of Saints Revived.
Sunday was the 400th anniver-
sarv of the death of Christopher Co
lumbus. 1t was on may 20, 1906,
that the discoverer of the new
world breathed his last in the town
Of Talladolid, Spain, after partaktng
of the holy sacrament, and uttering
these words: Into thy hands, 0,
Lord, I commit my spirit"
Advices fffom Rome state that
with the recurrence of this ami
yersarv has come a revival OF the
movement to place the name of Co
humbus in the catalogue OF saints,
or in other words to canonize him.
This movement began in earnest in
1892. the 400th anniversary of the
discovery of America, at which
time great pressure was brought to
bear on the college of cardinals to
induce them to take action in
the matter.
Lengthy Petition
A petition signed by several mil
lions of people in nearly every civil
lied country, and including many
of the highest dignitaries OF the
church, was presented to the sa-
cred college.
But the cardinals of the curia de-
cided at that time that the father OF
an illegitimate son could not posi-
bly be a saint. This objection re-
fers to relations of Columbus with
Beatrice Enriques, daughter OF an
in-keeper at Bordavo, whose ac-
Quaintance he made while stopping
in her fathers house, awaiting the
answer of the court to his petition
for aid to make the voyage to tlnd
the western passage to India. Co.
lumbus fell in love with the young
woman, and she became the mother
of his son Fernando. A book has
been written to prove that they
were legally married, but this evil
dence was rejected as not satlstac-
tory by the congregation of rites IN
1892.
Movement Revived.
Now the movement has been re-
vlved by the archbishop OF Turn
and other italian ecclesiastics, who
have asked for the reconsideration
of the case. There are good pros
poets that the movement will meet
with success in the course OF time.
The strongest argument in favor OF
the admission of Columbus to the
calendar of saints is that he was the
instrument of Providence in open
ing the eastern hemisphere to civil
ization and christianity. Another
argument is that in his will he be-
queathed the greater part OF his es-
tate to the rescue of the holy sep
ulcher and the conversion OF the
world.
The steps to canonization are
many and much time is required be-
fore the final stage is reached. The

OFFICIAL STUDY
 OF IRRIGATION
Two Officers Of The Reclamation Ser
 vice Visiting the Valley.

Messrs. John E. Field and Andrew Weiss spent yesterday in Phoenix and the surrounding country, the greater part of the day being devoted to a drive over a large portion or the irri- gated section north of Salt river, with Engineer Reed, of the local reclama- tion offices. MT. Field is district en~ gineer of the reclamation service, hav- ing in charge Of what is known as the North Platte reclamation project, in western Nebraska. MT. Weiss is the constructing engineer on the same pro- ject. Both engineers are visiting the Salt river project as a part Of a tour they are taking principally for the pur- pose of studying conditions and meth ods obtaining on various reclamation projects, with a view of adapting any desirable ideas that may appear. to the work they have in hand. Each project is in some respects different from any other though all have the same general purpose and one reason that makes the government construction of recIama- tion works better than private enter prises, is that with so many in hand

troubled him more than usual that night and in the early morning. About 9 o'clock he got up to leave the saloon and as he was walking to the door he fell and died apparently instantly.
 It was understood that he had rela- tives, or at least friends and acquaint- ances in Los Angeles. and there was found in his pocket letter from Los Angeles containing a pOstoffice money order for Sl0. He had evidently re- ceived it on Sunday and had not yet had time to cash it.
 From other letters found on his per son it was learned that he had been a resident of Bluffton, Ind, where ne had probably been engaged in mercnandis- ing. That must have been a long time ago though for other papers showed that he had been in the west for some time. There was a receipt from a hospital management in Walla Walla, Wash. Tor fees.
 A telegram was sent to his friends in Los Angeles making inquiry about the disposition of the body buC last night no reply had been received.

under varied conditions, great deal of experience is accumulated in a short time and the complete organization of the service, makes available for any project, every fact demonstrated on any other project. Messrs. Yield and Weiss left last evening for Mesa City and today will leave for Roosevelt, prob ably meeting MT. Newell and MT. Hill at or near Mesa. After their visit to Roosevelt they expect to return Dy way of Phoenix
 Speaking of their hasty view of the valley yesterday they said they were driven as far north and east as the foothills this side of Comeback, then west through the sugar beet section and south toward the river and back to town, giving them a pretty fair idea of the irrigable area on the north side. MT. Field said that he was very great ly impressed with the days drive, the almost perfect topOgra phy of the land for irrigation purposes and the appar- ent excellence Of the soil. From the in formation furnished him concerning the products and fertility Of the soil. the prevailing prices of various products and other conditions that have 70 be taken into account Mir. Field sad it occurred to him that the conditions here would warrant water storage at almost any expense. He said it seem ed to him that farming ought to pay here even if the water supply cost fifty or seventy-five dollars an acre, initial expense which, of course, is many times more than it will cost.
 Speaking of the project under his direction MT. Field said it was quite different from tba SaTt river D-Oiac+ though there are many features in com mon. The water users are organized after the manner of the organization in this valley, though it is considerably different in detail owing to the fact that about eighty per cent. of the land to be watered is government land while here practically all the land to be irri- gated is patented land. There are few old canals to complicate the situation and the project beside the dam creating the reservoir, includes the construction of about 150 miles of canals. Prelimin- ary work began on the reservoir or dam last February and the laying of the foundations of the dam will be- gin just as soon as the weather will permit this spring. The excavation of the ditches began last June and by May 1 this year 1t is expected that fifty miles O. canal will have been com pleted. He said that everything was moving along satisfactorily though of course the engineers and water users who are to be benefited have their knockers and opposing elements of irri- tation, the same as are bound to exist in the furtherance of any human en- tcrDr;se.

CONTINUED MOULDING
 OF EASTERN SENTIMENT
Against the Passage of Joint State-
 hgod Bill.

A couple of days ago The Republi- can reproduced from the Brooklyn Git iZen a letter sent by an Arizona man to a friend in Brooklyn protesting against joint statehood and giving sev- eral reasons why the territoHies of Ari- zona and New Mexico shohld not be joined. That letter is made the basis of a strong editorial in the issue of the Citizen which came to Phoenix yesterday, the editorial dealing mainly with the injustice of the project against the will of so large a propor- tion Of the residents of this territory.
 Yesterday a copy of the Brooklyn Eagle was received at this office. It too, contained @ letter of protest not written by a resident of Arizona but a resident of Long Island, endorsing all the objections which have been made to the joint statehood bill. The letter follows:
 To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle:
 I send herewith circulars which have received from Phoenix, Arizona, containing statements in regard to the proposed statehood bill, and which statements I wish to say I cordially indorse. I wish also to add that from a thorough knowledge of the people, from a residence of two winters in Phoenix and vicinity, I consider no greater outrage could be perperrated on free people than to force them to enter the Union as a state in connec- tiOn with New Mexico.
 There may be doubts as regards the advisability Of admitting Arizona as state at the present time, because of its small population, but it seems to me that there can be no doubt as to fore ing it to come in under conditions which are so distastefuI to it's peo- pie.
 The population of New Mexico is so much larger than that of Arizona that Arizonians would simply have no voice in the control of it's own affairs Many people seem to have an idea that Ari- zona is almost out of the pale of civil ization, all the wild and woolly stories of the west seeming to have their ori- gin in that state at the present time, but I want to say right here that l have never come across a more in telligent and better informed class of people, both intellectually and politi- cally than I found in Arizona during my residence among them and mo-
