months after the contract was entered

to return to the United States.
The terms of the agreement, according
to the physician. required the payment
of $500 each month, as salary; $50 a
month for expenses and bonus of $1,000

tract. He therefore asks the court to
render a judgment against the ex-queen

IS OPPOSED TO VACCINATION
ENGLISH LECTURER DENOUNCES
COMPULSION.
Mr.. Bonner Declares the Practice Is
Gravest Quackery Fraught With
the Most Serious Evils.

Declaring that the modern practice OF
compulsory vaccination is the grossest
quackery, John H. Bonner, lecturer ant
organizer of the Anti-Vaccination League
of England, delivered a lecture last nigh
in the George Washington University
before a large and representative audi
ence of physicians and public men. Harr,
B. Bradford, director of the Anti
Vaccination League Of America, was pres
ent Rev. John Van Schaick introduced
the speaker.
AS his subject. Mr.. Bonner took the
question rs Compulsory Vaccination
Justifable?'' He launched into his theme
by saying that lone cannot sow disease
and expect to reap health" The man
he said. who submits himself or hi:
family to vaccination for protection
against smallpox or some other virulent
disease is similar to a man who. find
ing his home in danger Of fire saturates
it with oil. He said that although the
characterization advocates do not believe
in the principles Of the practice, the main
attack is against the compulsory part OF
1t. Doctors. he said, have been brought
up In the Idea. and have forgotten that
their duty is to stamp out the disease
and not to stamp it in.
Some OF them. he pointed out. show the
weakest point Of the practice when they
advocate revaccination from time to time
for proper protection against disease.
Vaccination, declared Mr. Bonner, is
equivalent to a mild attack Of smallpox
and, therefore, If, as Is supposed, 1t rem
ders one immune from the disease, how
can successive innoculations have any eff
feet upon the patient?
Mr.. Bonner expressed the opinion that
1t will not be long before cow-poxing will
be as obsolete as is now the old practice
OF blood-letting. which was practiced con-
tinuaily for more than century and a
half. The process by which the serum
for vaccination Is extracted from infected
cattle was graphically described by the
lecturer, and he declared that the recent
epidemic in many parts of this country of
the mouth and hoof disease among cattle
had its origin on vaccine farms, and has
been communicated to some humans
Anti-vaccinationiStS are not in opposi-
ton to doctors in any manner, said the
lecturer. but simply believe that they are
erring on this one point. He said that no
more scathing denunciation of the prac-
tice has been made than is printed in the
Encyclopedia Britannica.
In conclusion Mr.. Bonner read a num-
Der of press clippings showing the alleged
evil results Of vaccination throughout the
world. He also showed q number of pic
lures Mr.. Bonner is said to have been
largely instrumental in securing the re-
scinding of the compulsory vaccination
laws in England.

FORAKER WINS LONG FIGHT
BILL PASSED ALLOWING NEGRO
SOLDIERS TO RE-ENLIST.
By Party Vote the Senate Adopts
Aldrich Compromise-Two APP
preparation Bills Passed.

Senator Aldrich's compromise bill to al
low the re-enlistment of the negro soldiers
who were discharged without honor" by
President Roosevelt following the shoot
ing up Of Brownsville. Texas. August 13-
IA. 1905. was passed by the Senate yester-
day. The vote was IS to %. all of the re-
publicans voting in the affirmative. and
all Of the democrats. except Senator Teller
of Colorado. in the negative. 1t was an
nounced that If Senator Hopkins of
Illinois. a republican, had been there
he would have voted in the negative.
This conclusion of the matter that has
held the attention of the Senate since De-
cember. 1905. is looked upon as victory
for Senator Foraker. who all along has
been fighting in behalf of the negro
soldiers and denouncing the action of the
President in Diminishing them. The Aid
rich compromise was not just the sort of
bill Mr.. Foraker wanted passed, but he
subscribed to 1t, and 1t had the virtue of
being able to secure the support of Sena-
tor Warner, the Presidents representative
in the controversy. 1t provides for a
board Of army officers who shall consider
applications for re-enliStment and report
from time to time to the Secretary of
War, making a complete report within a
year from the date of its appointment.
The second section. which gives back
pay to the re-enlisted soldiers, was espec-
tally Objectionable to Senator Daniel Of
Virginia. who spoke against Its adoption
and moved to strike 1t out. This the
strictly party vote.
Two Appropriation Bills Passed.
Within four hours the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill and the forti-
fications bill were passed by the Senate
yesterday, and the consideration Of the
agricultural bill begun. Morning business
was dispensed with, and these supply
budgets taken up Immediately after the
Senate convened.
The Notifications bill carries a total Of
$500, Ill. But few amendments were
made to 1t, the principal one being an
increase from s250.OOO to 100000 for ITO
acres at San Pedro. Cal, for site for
Notifications, Mr.. Flint convincing the
Senate that the property could not be ac-
quired for the amount fixed by the COM
mittee.
When the diplomatic bill came UP Mr..
Bacon had stricken out on a point Of
order a provision placed in the bill by
the House authorizing the Secretary Of
State to designate vice consul generals in
China, in whom shall be vested judicial
authority and jurisdiction in civil and
criminal cases.
Laid on the Table.
An amendment by Mr.. Lodge, appro-
priating 100000 for ground and building
for the American embassy at Paris was
opposed by Mr.. Hale and laid on the
table by vote Of AZ to "a. The bill car
ries total appropriation Of $3,646.3s6.
The chief topic of discussion on the
agricultural bill was an amendment au-
thorizing the government to fix grain
standards. 1t was opposed by Senators
Aldrich and Bailey and championed by
Senators Hansbrough, McCumber, Sim
mons and Warren.

To the southwark, its green clad,

peoples such as one seldom sees ex-

But even as this was in my mind,
says a writer in the Travel Maga-
zine, a gun doomed out from a
crumbling bastion, and five little
balls ran up five fagstsffs standing
in a row on the uppermost ram
parts and broke out into five flags.
The morning breeze caught up
their folds and held them straight
out, as though for our benefit, so
that we could make them out quite
plainly. Four of them were old
friends that | had encountered on
all of the seven seas-the union
jack and the tricolor and the st.
Andrews cross of Russia and the
red, white and green banner of It
aly-but the fifth flag, which flew
somewhat higher than the others,
was of unfamiliar design. The sin
gle blood red square, however,
bounded by the Greek cross and
bearing the cleaning star of Beth
lehem, told its own story, and ]
knew it for the flag of Crete.
/ knew that there was deep sig
nifcance in the design of that un-
known flag and in the position OF
the four familiar ones that few be-
low it, for they signaled to all the
world that the Turk had been driv-
en- out, never to return; that Chris
tianity had triumphed over Mo
hammedanism and that the cross
had indeed replaced the crescent ;
that the centuries of massacre
were now but memories; that peace
in the guise of foreign soldiery had,
for a time at least, found an abid-
ing place in Crete, and, most sig
nifcant of all, that the strange flag
with the single star would be up
held if necessary by the mightiest
array of bayonets and battleships
in all ChristendoIn.
