OPERATE ON DUCHESS OF FIFE.
Physicians Remove Tumor from the
Kings Eldest Daughter.

London. Jan l2-The real nature of
the illness of the Kings eldest daughter.
the princess royal Duchess Of Fife. re-
NAMED "a secret until to-day The Court
Circular has mentioned vaguely from
time 10 time that her royal highness IS
progressing favorably after her opera
ton" Never before has the Court CiTcu-
lar omitted to mention the complaint
from which a royal parsonage is supposed
to be suffering.
As n matter Of fact, both the King a1d
Queen have been anxious about their eld-
est daughter. as it was feared that she
was suffering from cancer of the breast
It is vaguely intimated now that the
growth is d tumor, and not d malignant
growth
But against this lies the fact that in
stead Of the one operation alluded TO. the
princess has undergone no fewer than
f0ur. three of which were never men
toned officially. Her condition requires
the constant attendance Of a physician
who either sleeps in the house or pays
midnight visits to see the royal patient
The precautions against any excitement
are 50 strict that the sick princess was
denied the pleasure Of seeing her baby
nephew. Prince Olaf Of Norway, when ne
came 10 England.
It now seems likely that the princess
viii for a long time be unable to resume
her morning walks with the duke in OK

she is called in the family circle. was a

FIND new RAILROAD ALLIANCE
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Com.
bine in California.
Own Jointly six Railroads Having
$50, 900 Capital in North
ern Part OF the state.

New York. Jan. 12.-Evidence of an alli-
ance between the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific was
furnished to-day in an announcement that
the Northwestern Pacific Railroad a COM
pany incorporated in California December
81. 1906. was q joint enterprise of the
Atchison and Southern Pacific, undertaken
for the purpose of consolidating railroads
in Northern California. The railroads
have an aggregate mileage of more than
500 and up 10 the first Of the year four
OF them were owned or controlled by the
Southern Pacific and two by the Atchi-
son.
The new company has capitalization
Of S55,OOo0J0 and nine directors, I'VE Of
whom are officials Of the Southern Pa
cific and four officials of the Atchison
All of the directors have Offices in san
Francisco.
The roads merged by the two systems
are the California Northwestern. the
San Francisco and North Pacific, the
North Shore Railroad. the Eureka and
Klamath River, the Fort Bragg and
Southeastern. and the San Francisco and
Northwestern. The last annual report of
the Southern Pacific showed that the
company owned all but $500 Of the ST.
$4,000 outstanding stock Of the California
Northwestern. all Of the $0,000 Eureka
and Klamath River stock outstanding.
S.990,000 of the 100000 outstanding san

INVENTS VEGETABLE MILK.
japanese Physician Finds Condensed
Lfnuid of Grenf Nutriment.

London, Jan. 12-The Japanese newspa-
pcrs give particulars of the invention by
Dr. Kalayama Of a method for preparing
condensed vegetable milk from soy beans
The beans are boiled and then pressed.
The liquid extracted resembles cows milk
I'm appearance, but the composition is en-
tirely different
The bean juice consists of 925 per cent
Of water; 3.02 protein; 2-16 fat; .0S fiber;
.1SS nonnitrogenous substances, and Al
ash To the juice the inventor adds a lit
tie sugar and phosphate of potash, the
latter to counteract the formation Of al
bumen Then he Condenses the mixture.
The milk thus prepared is of a yellowish
color and is pleasant to the palate, tast-
ing somewhat like cows milk with a
slight favor Of SOY beans. Il can be pro-
duced at far less cost than condensed
cows milk

LEPROSY ABATING IN RUSSIA.
One District Alone Has 5000 Suf-
ferers, but Disease Is in Check.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 12-Reports from
Reval state that the governments efforts
10 stamp out leprosy in the Baltic prov
inces have met at least with partial sue
cess.
The Lettish population suffer enOr-
mously from this disease. Fish forms the
staple article of their diet. and the preva-
lence of the disease is regarded as proof
of Prof Jonathan Hutchinson's theory
that leprosy. is always traceable 10 the
use of stale or badly cured fish.
A society for the cure Of leprosy has
been formed at Dorpat, Livonia Doctors
have been sent out to travel through tie
country to search out persons suffering
from the disease, but they have met with
great difficulties. as the people refused
TO avail themselves of the facilities Of
fered for treatment.
These official Investigations, however,
showed what immense strides the disease
has made. The number of lepers in
EsthOnia alone is reported at $780, dis
t-ibuted i'm various areas.
Tie latest from Kuda, the chief Baltic
sanatorium. states that if leprosy has not
actually decreased, the number of suffer
ers at any rate has remained stationary.
