Sixth Triennial Congress on
tuberculosis Is Opened
at Washington.
CORTtlYOU STARTS IT OFF
Medical Scientists From Every Civilized
Nation Unite to Solve
Problem.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. Yesterday
gatherings ever assembled in the ma,
tional capital, when medical scient,
lists representing every civilized ma
ton united with their brothers in
America in an effort to solve the
problem of how best to cope with tn
berculosis. The occasion was the Off
cial opening of the sixth triennal con
eress on tuberculosis. The great audi
torium of the new National Museum
was filed with men who have ConSe-
Grated their best talents to the study
of tuberculosis, representatives of the
sovereigns of foreign countries, high
officials of government. The keynote
of every utterance reflected the hope
that the day is not far distant when
medical science shall triumph over
the great scourge.
CorteIyou Opens Congress.
When Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou, as the personal represent
ative of the president OF the United
States, officially declared the congress
open, there we're grouped on the plat
form such distinguished men as DR..
Robert Koch, the d%iscoyerer Of the tu-
berculae bacilli; DR.. A. Calmette of
Paris, Prof. Bernard Bang Of Den
mark, DR.. Arthur Neshole Of London,
DR.. C. s. Woodhead of Cambridge,
England; DR.. Clemans o Pirquet,
DIR. r. w. Philip Of Edinburg, founder
of the first tuberculosis dispensary;
Prof. l.. Landouzy, DR.. N. Tendeloo OF
Leyden, DR.. Simon o Unteberger,
honorary physician to his majesty's
court of St. Petersburg; DR.. Camilo
Callaja of Madrid, and many others.
Among the members of the diplomat
ic corps was WI Ting-fang, the Chi
nese minister.
Dr.. Koch Responds.
The official welcome on behalf OF
the United States government was tx
tended by Secretary Cortelyou. His
address evoked warm and frequent ap-
plause. Then followed the responses
Of the official representatives OF thirty
foreign countries. When his name
was called, DR.. Koch declared that the
German takes a particular interest in
all that tends toward the solution OF
the tuberculosis problem and that his
government would watch with the
keenest interest the deliberations of
this congress. The tuberculosis stu
alton in Germany, he said, has become
distinctly favorable during the past
three decades, the mortality from tu-
berculosis in Prussia having been re-
duced practically one-half.
At the conclusion of the responses
to Secretary Cortelyou's address the
congress adjourned and will not meet
again in general session until Oct. 3.
The afternoon was devoted to the de-
alterations of the various sections at
meetings where a number of address
es were made.

BATTLES WITH DEVILFIH.
Caught in TentacIes, He Narrowly Es.
capes Death.

San Francisco, Sept. 3O.-Trapped
in the tentacles Of a giant devilfsh,
Martin Lund, a diver employed by the
Coast Wrecking company, fought for
his life in the hold of the wrecked
steamer Pomona, which lies in thirty
feet of water, in Fort Ross cove, off
the Marin county coast.
The devilfish had evidently entered
the ships hold in the night, and Lund
was at work some time before he be-
came aware of it's presence. A giant
tentacle, four inches in diameter, first
gripped n leg. Before Lund could
realize what had happened another
encircled his thigh. The diver began
to chop frantically at the rubberlike
bonds and at the same time signaled
to the barge above hat he wished to
ascend.
Reaches Vital Spot.
Unable to free himself in time, two
more t%entacles squirmed out of the
darkness and n twisted about his
neck. The efforts of the men on the
surface to comply with his signal
threatened to pull his helmet Off, and
he was forced to signal them to de-
sist.
With only his left arm free, he
hacked at the tentacles until they
were partially crippled, but he was
being drawn toward the deadly beak
when he saw the outline of the devil
fish's body. Plunging suddenly to-
ward it. he drove the knife will all his
force into the head, repeating the
blow until he had slashed it into sec
tons. In it's death throes the octopus
frightened It's %tentacles until the diver
was almost crushed in it's embrace.
Lund then cut himself free and was
brought to the surface in a fainting
condition. Another diver brought
some of the severed tentacles to the
surface, and 1t is hoped to raise the
body and bring it to this city for ex-
hibitiOn.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AGAINST OUR NAVY
Objects to Appropriations to Make
Us Equal to Our New
Responsibilities.
Would Leave Us the Prey Of Stronger
Nations-Success of Monroe Doc
trine Depends On AIDE
quate Navy.

William Jennings Bryan has always
opposed a great American navy. He
went to Congress years ago, and If he
accomplished anything worthy of note.
the record has failed to show it. AT
that time the Democrats oil over the
ing admiration because of his obstruc-
ton tactics. On July 8, 1892, he arose
in his place in the House Of Repre-
sentatives and opposing a proposed
naval appropriation, said:
"Mr. Speaker, l believe in a sufficient
navy. We have this now, either in ex-
istence or in construction. We do not
need more"
Is the Same Bryan Today.
Such was Mr.. Bryan sixteen years
ago and such he is to-day. He has OPP
posed every proposed appropriation to
increase and strengthen u navy, as a
matter Of defense and protection to our
coast line, and a preventative Of war
with other nations, as a source Of pride
uhu PlNSliSC ailu ISt allSS w Jul >obii
try. The matchless record of our navy
at Santiago and in Manila Bay during
the Spanish war interests him not. Had
his ideas prevailed we would have had
no victories on the water in that war.
Must Always Be Ready.
As wars between nations come sud
denly, just as do personal conflicts be-
tween men, our navy must be maintain
ed upon that basis OF possible contin-
gency. Our national history shows that
wars have sprung suddenly into exist
ence while wise men were proclaiming
that war could not occur. There are
many instances where the most uneX-
pected occurrences have brought us to
the very verge of battle.
We are not a military nation. yet we
are a rich nation, and undefended
wealth invites aggression. The very
liberty of individual speech and action
which We as a people so prize and
guard, renders it possible that at times
unexpected causes of friction with for
eign powers may suddenly develop.
Even at present this country is nego-
tiating arbitration treaties with a num-
Der of the great powers. These treaties
have a special usefulness because in the
event of some sudden disagreement they
render it morally incumbent upon both
nations to seek first to reach an agree
ment to arbitrate and at least secure
a breathing space during which the
cool judgment of the two nations
involved may get the upper hand over
any momentary burst of anger. Such
treaties are entered into with the hope
of preventing wrong doing by others
against us and also as a proof that
we have no intention Of doing wrong
ourselves.
Preparedness Safest Peace Argument
Yet it is idle to assume that this
world has yet reached the stage, or has
come within measurable distance of the
stage, when a proud nation, Jealous of
it's honor and conscious Of its great
mission in the world. can be content
to rely for peace upon the ~forbearance

HOW COULD BRYAN HELP?
His Prescriptions For Business
Shown to Be Intellectual.

(From the Pittsburg GazettesTimes.
We hear Of workingmen saying
that this time they intend to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, because for the past
ten months we have had hard times
But what good will that do? How is
a tariff for revenue, ignoring the pro-
lection plea altogether, going to open
the shops and mills? How will the
election Of Senators by direct vote
start the wheels of industry? Or
the publication of campaign contri-
buttons? Or the further harassment
of the railroads? Or the reorganiza-
ton Of the House. SO that the Speaker
may be powerless? Why open this
country now to the markets Of the
world when we have not sufficient de-
mand to consume what we ourselves
manufacture?
