HALL, PHILADELPHIA.

A.
Is doing much to influence his own ma
ton to copy them In many ways in the
development of government by the
people in Japan. The baron will make
a visit to Japan soon.
One of the subjects to be discussed
by the Japanese foreign Office with the
ambassador is q revision Of the treaty
Of commerce and navigation with the
United States. which, with protocol
regarding passports, the application OF
the Japanese tariff to American i'm
ports, etc. will expire in 1911. Japan
has treaties along similar lines with
the other great powers. but they ex-
pire by limitation in 1910. This gives
the United States a decided advantage
In dealing with Japan in the revision
of it's treaty, as this country will be in
a position to ask concessions made to
other countries and perhaps additional
ones. Japan would like to begin ne
gotiations now with the United States
with view to revision, so that the
new treaty may become operative at
the same time as those negotiated with
other countries, but the Washington
administration does not favor it.

SAYS LEPERS MAY
Be CURED
INDIAN OIL SUPPOSED TO BE A
CURE FOR DISEASE WHICH
HAS HERETOFORE BEEN
DEEMED INCURARLE.

Vancouver, B. c.. Aug. left lep-
rosy has not yet been proved to be
durable. it at least has been robbed
of its terrors by the administration
of wonderful remedy-Chalmoog
oil, obtained in India Some SEEM
tngly wonderful results have attend
ed the administration of the medicine
to patients at the dominion govern
ment laZaretto at Tracauie, N. B.,
according to Dr. Montizambert of OF
tawa, director general of public
health, who sailed last night for
Prince Rupert to select a site for
proposed quarantine station there.
His official duties which relate
largely to quarantine matters, also
give him general supervision of the
home for lepers in the marine prov
inces.
''It would be unscientific to state
that Chalmoogra oil is an absolute
specific and that it absolutely cures
leprosy,' said Dr. Montizambert in
conversation with The Province last
night. The medicine, however, has
effected a wonderful transformation
at the New Brunswick lazaretto since
the first experiments were begun
more than a year ago. / was more
especially impressed with that fact
during my recent visit to the leprous
patients maintained there at govern
ment expense.
1.-THE oil is taken internally and
marked improvement of the patients
starts almost at once, the tubercules
diminishing and the ulcers showing
tendency to heal. The nineteen pa
tients comprise twelve men and seven
women. Their health and strength
has markedly improved. The admin
istration of the oil has changed the
whole institution from one of blank
despair to one of cheerfulness and
hope. Two patients have already
been discharged as cured, but as in
the history of the institution before
cases were discharged years ago with
out any treatment, it is questionable
whether any result in the last two
cases are due to the remedy or to
some spontaneous arresting of the
disease. Further observation will be
required to settle that point. The
' oil has had great vogue in India. Out
here we are simply reviving the use
of an old remedy
"Leprosy is spread by contagion.
1t is not an hereditary disease. Ten
or twelve years ago Hansen, Nor
wegian scientist, discovered the bac-
illus of the disease. The difficulty
of securing a serum or anti-toxin of
leprosy is due largely to the fact that
no culture medium in which the ba
cilli will grow has yet been found.
cat present there are no lepers at
the leper colony on Darcy island,

Gored by a Bull.

A big bull belonging to Wills
York, near Murphy, and used on the
farm for a work animal, had an
ugly streak last week Wednesday
and attacked Homer York, who was
leading him. The bull with a stub
of horn pierced Homers arm be-
low the elbow and gave him pain
full wound. On Friday the bull butt
ed Bert York, but help arrived In
time to avoid serious trouble. About
a year ago he attacked the youngest
York boy and caused painful bruis-
es.
The bull was raised on the farm
and was family pet. The boys use
him for saddle animal or hitter
him up to be driven single, and NJ
has been very useful in stump ant

The Importance of crowding to
completion the various bitches al
ready under construction so as TO
have water this season seems to be
thoroughly impressed on the minds
of the managers of the great irrl-
eating system. The work is being
pushed with earnestness and even
the workmen are imbued with the
same earnest desire as the manage
ment.
Some days there is trouble in Sc
curing all the men needed, but the
work goes merrily on day after day
and week after week. Superintend-
ent Garner was greatly encouraged
this week with the progress made
with the hydraulic giant as well as
the working of the other machinery.
In conversation with Courier rep
resentative he expressed himself as
being satisfied with the work done
on all the lines and seemed to feel
confident there would be no delay
in completing the various bitches
on time to the points included in the
estimates.
President Gilkey Talks.
President Gilkey, who Is giving
the construction work on the canals
a large part of his time, said today
that the company had between 80
and 60 men at work and 15 teams
land that this force would be In
creased as soon as additional ma
ch!nery arrived. They are expecting
an important machine known as The
Road King" to reach here almos
any day. This is intended to do ditcf
work on a side hill as well as OF
level ground. The axle Is adjustable
SO as to keep the wheels perpendicu
lar, even when working on slopinI
ground. For hill or mountain sid
, work the Road King stands at tn
, head of its class for ditch construc
