HOUSE DEBATE HAS
 MOST VARIED RANGE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.--Although technically under consideration in the house today. the District of Colum- hia appropriation bill was sidetracked wa'le the members indulged in a gen eral debate. This took a wide range of proceedings. opening with the de- fense of rules of the house of Olm- stead of Pennsylvania. His remarks stirred up the subject in all it's phases, and gave the so-ealied insurgents, un- der the leadership of Gsrdner. of Massachusetts, an opportunity 10 air their grievances.
 Talt's reported intention to break the solid sout5 was incidentally brought into the discgssiOn in the course of a speech on the tariff by shepard. of Texas. who remarked that the president-elect had made himself ridiculous.

CONSUME
 MAY BECOME
 EASILY CURED
Official Announcement of Dr. Rosenberger Says Perfect Anti-Toxin May Soon Be Found-DiSCovery Tested.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. By otiic ial announcement the greatest discov- cry in the war against consumption since the finding of the tuberculosis bacillus by Koch was made public.
 This is the discovery by Dr. K. C.. Rosenberger, famous biologist and holder of the chair of 5acteriolOgy ai Jefferson Medical College, that the tuberculosis germ can be readily found in the bloCa long before it reaches the lungs; that it is then in a condition which makes it readily amenable to destruction by simple treatment and fresh air, and that 1t will soon be possible to use a perfect
 autitoxin which will stamp the dis ease out entirely.
 Through Dr. Rosenberger's discov- cry consumption, fIom the greatest scourge of modern times, may dwindle
 down to the easiest treated disease in existence.
 Dr. Rosenberger his tested his dis. covery and his methods upon 150 cases, in none of which was there a failure.
 He had made known previously the results of his experiments to the Col lege of Physicians and to the faculty of Jefferson College. His whole paper upon the tubiect will appear shortly in medical publication. Before his paper is published Dr. Rosenberg
 who is a pririst in medical ethics. will not discuss or go into details of the matter
 By this discovery an antitoxin ol virus can be injected that will render the human organism immune to con sumption. Work upon this virus based on the nev" phase of the matter
 Is now 'n progress. The hope of its ! perfection is not @ distant one. it was cautiouE.y said.
 If this proves to be all that is . hoped" said Dr. Lawrence Flick ! president of the Phipps Institute fol ' Consumption, the fight against the great white T'sgie Is won" The discovery is not confined tl learning the presenle of the germs iI | the blood alone, but marks their most inc5Dient appearance in the lungs and i fin all forms of tuberculosis, such a. ! rarer forms of Potts disease of tho spine and tuberculosis of the hip.

Soon after President Roosevelt's communication to Senator Hale was received at the capitol it was said that it contained reflection on a senator from a south eIn state. The name of the senator was not divulged at that time, and as a result the senate was surcharged with curiosity.

The most widely accepted theory
