 Captain William A. Marshall is in command of the North Carolina and Captain Alfred Reynolds commands the Montana, and these two cruisers, which are among the swiftest and most formidable of the service, no doubt will be welcome addition to the warships of other nations now assembling in Turkish waters. and will be quite able to represent American interests in ev- cry way.
 Distance to Be Covered 5,70o Miles.
 The cruisers are capable of a speed of 22 knots, and have taken on Suffi- cient coal to permit them to proceed at an average rate much higher than would be maintained for a voyage of a similar distance under ordinary cir cumstances. It is expected that they will reach -Alexandretta May at the latest, the distance from Guantanamo being about 5,700 miles.
 Large Forces of Marines Aboard.
 The two cruisers recently reached here from Fort De France. where they were engaged in watching the move ments of ex-President Castro of Ven ezuela. Orders were received three days ago to prepare for the voyage to Asia Minor, and since then the vessels have taken on a full supply of coal and provisions.

NEW CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
Treatment Which Draws Disease from
 Lungs to the Surface.

London. April 23.-Some of the most eminent physicians of England. includ- ing the doctors of the king. have agreed to make a very severe test of what the discoverer, William Doig, claims is cure for tuberculosis. For ten years past MT. Doig has been treating free of charge persons suffer ing from tuberculosis of the poins. and according to the evidence of various hospital physicians, he has had con siderable success. Last year he tried his treatment on a patient suffering from tuberculosis of the lungs under the observation Of a well known Lon don physician. This case has been certified as cured, a fact that had much to do with making the thorough test as planned. It has been decided to take six consumptive cases from the London hospitals and allow Mr. DOig to treat them under closest ob- servation. The Doig treatment endeav- ors to draw the disease from the lungs to the surface, it is said A ray of inflammation is set up from the sur face of the skin to the lung by means of chemical heat. The pus travels to the surface through this ray, which is kept open. and the pus is drawn out until the lung is clear.

MRS. MATTHEW T. SCOTT
 D. A. R. PRESIDENT GENERAL. Defeats Mrs. William c. Story by Ma jority of Only Eight Votes-Refusal

Washington. April 23.-After twenty hours devoted to counting and recount ing the ballots cast yesterday, the Daughters of the American Revolution today found the honors of the biennial election of their society divided be- tween the administration and the anti administration forces. The big fight of the congress was won by the admin istration in the election of Mrs. Mat thew T. Scott of Illinois to be presi- dent general. The second off in point of honor, that of vice president gener- al in charge of organizations. went to the ti-administration followers by the election of Mrs. Miranda B. Tul- loch of this city.
 With a majority over Mrs. William c. Story of New York of only eight votes out of SI3 pallets cast, Mrs. Scotts victory goes down on the rec ords of the society as one of the clos- est in the history of the organization. Scarcely had the first wave of disap- pointment at the narrow defeat of Mrs. Story swept over her followers before action was being taken to re- new the fight to elect the retiring New York state regent as president general two years hence when Mrs. Scott's term of office will expire.
 So close an election stirred the con- gress beyond the experience of years. It was characterized by a bitterness that prevented the adoption of a mo- tion of Mrs. Story to make the elec- tion of her rival unanimous.
 All night long the thirty tellera counted the ballots for president gem eral. 1t was II o'clock when Mrs. Av- cry announced that S73 ballots had been cast at the election and only s6A were recorded for president general.
 The number necessary for an elec- tion is 433," announced Mrs. Avery impressively. Mrs. Matthew I. Scott of Illinois received 436."
 The Scott followers did not wait 10 hear how many votes Mrs. Story had received. Applause became common- place in the pandemonium that fol- lowed. Gray haired women waved whatever they could seize and some of the Daughters shouted.
 Scarcely had Mrs. Avery announced that Mrs. Story had received 42S votes before the New York candidate had found her way to the platform. In a few words and with emotion repressed she thanked those who had voted for her and asked that justice and sup port be given to Mrs. Scott. she then moved that the election be made unanimous. Cries of No! No!" greet ed her
 After several gifts to retiring ofi- cerS had been presented. Mrs. Scott arrived fin the hall. Her reception was almost as hearty as that which had greeted the announcement of her election. She responded briefly to her introduction as the next president general. q shall be content" she said. If only one fold of the mantle of my great predecessors falls upon me, but I pray you to envelope ma with another mantle-that of your charity for my shortcomings"
 The "insurgent" candidates for oftico below that of president general made practically a clean sweep, capturing almost all of the more important places. The tellers made their report Co the congress at tonights session.
