rranspIanting Operation by Sur
geon Is Successful.
One Of Most Remarkable and Inter.
estlng Clinics In Surgery Conduct
ed by Dr.. 1. J. Hammond, at
Philadelphia Recently.

Phtladelphia.-One .f the most re-
narkable clinics in surgery that ever
has been held in this city, and by
far the most interesting that has been
seen in the recent visit Of the sur
geons of this country and Canada
who attended the Clinical Congress of
Surgeons of North America, was that
conducted in the Methodist Episco-
pal hospital by DR.. J.. ]. Hammond,
chief of staf of the hospital. and a
member Of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.
Three difficult operations. each in
volving a new phase in a field Of sur
gerry that by most of the visiting sur
geons was thought still to be in the
embryonic and experimental stage,
were the work Of the noted Philadel-
phia surgeon. Like his recent clinic
DR.. Hammond's work held the onlook-
ers, many of them older and of long
er practice in the profession than
himself, spellbound.
From the moment he made an in
cision into a mans back to remove
a diseased kidney until he completed
the three operations the drop of a
pin could have been heard in the
great amphitheater of the hospital.
Except for the breathing of those in
the room, the slow, measured tread
near the operating table of DR.. Ham
mond. his assistant, DIR. G.. H. Gray,
or the nurses who were attending,
there vas absolute quiet.
Chief attention was centered on the
operation involving the transplanting
Of a kidney. This operation includ-
ed anastomoses Of Jennings of blood
vessels, and the connecting of the
veins. arteries and other ducts and
glands was highly satisfactory. The
patients recovery, the surgeons said
today, seemed certain.
DR.. Hammond tr~ansplanted into the
patients body the kidney Of a man

AtolIs.

1t is shown by the Investigations
conducted by scientific expeditions to
the Pacific islands that there is a slow
elevation going on there, which, by
lifting the reefs gradually above the
waves, preserves them from erosion
at the top, and enables vegetation and
certain animal forms of a terrestrial
character to exist there. This is quite
in opposition to Darwin's idea that
the atolls were formed by the grad
ual submergence of small islands, and
that the coral insects built up encir-
cling reefs as the islands sank.
Recent reports show that the eleva-
ton Of the islands is a general phe-
nomenon, but variable in amount,
some islands rising rapidly and others
very slowly.
Both the flora and the fauna Of these
islands are confined to a very few
species, although, e from a dis
lance, some of them appear very rich
in vegetation.-Harper's Weekly.

He did, but there was no response.
The rumor grew into alarming re-
ports. Mrs. Jack had been seen
abroad with a thin, fair man, reported
to be the Baron Gritz Somebody. Mrs.
Jack had been observed at Palm
Beach pacing the promenade with a
short, stout man, undoubtedly sena-
tor from a certain western state. Mrs.
Jack had occupied a box at the open

hind her sat the well-known Italian
Marquis So-and-So. Edgemere re-

uptown house, that had been Jacks
wedding present to his bride, was
closely boarded up. Rumor stated

HEADS RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT

Although the active efforts In the
men and religion forward movement
were begun only a short time ago,
practically all OF the seventy-six cities
participating have reported complete
organizations and campaigns under

The general interest which has
been manifested by the leading bust

party, which sailed for the Arctic re-
gions from San Francisco in 1879 in
the ill-fated jeanette, and he COM
manded the boats which es-
capped from the icy wastes of the Lena
Delta after the wreck Of the expedi-

expeditions which recovered De
Longs body and the records OF the
Jeanette, for which services he re-
ceived a gold medal by special act OF
congress. But that is another story.
Rear Admiral Melville entered the

beginning of the Civil war. A New

institute. He served throughout the
war and was subsequently stationed

election was that In the city and coun-
ty OF Schenectady, where certain Re

united with the Socialists and elect

and gained a majority Of the county
Offices, beside electing an assembly
man. The leader of these mixed
forces was Rev. DR.. George r. Lunn,

WANT ONLY ALASKA COAL
AS a Protest Against Delay in Open
ing Mines Cordova Men Threw
British Coal Overheard.

Cordova, Alaska.-Incensed at no
reply to appeals cabled to Presi-
dent Taft to urge early action look
ing to the opening of the Alaska coal
fields, the residents of Cordova de-
cided to follow the example set by
the patriots and thus express the Sc
rious crisis that has been reached in
the Alaska coal situation.
For several days the sentiment in
favor of some public outburst has
been growing. When late cable dis
patches from Washington failed to
bring news of President Taft's having
acknowledged receipt of the appeals
from Alaska feeling increased and
900 business men formed mob and,
armed with shovels, marched to the
ocean dock of the Alaska Steamship
company, where they proceeded to
throw several hundred tons of British
Columbia coal into the bay.

Ell Paso Texas.-The dove OF peace
that lowered over Jaurez and the in

away. Diaz has refused to answer
the telegram sent asking him to make
public his private statement that he
inteded to resign when peace is re-
stored. Oscar Braniff, one of the fed
eral peace commissioners, states that
he does not expect Diaz to answer it..
DR.. Vasquez Gomez, chairman OF
the insurrecto commissioners, in turn
makes the positive announcement
that unless a favorable answer is &c
ceived from Diaz peace negotiations
will end. The armistice has expired
and unless a good reason not now APP
parent is advanced Francisco l. Ma
dero declares positively that it will
not be renewed.

sand the tracks before the wheels
would stick to the rails.

Baltimore, Md-"Dollar Diplomacy"
is the newly-coined phrase applied to
the expansion of American business
interests through the efforts of the

mode of pursuing the ideal of worlds

ton of Huntington Wilson, assistant

United States and Great Britain fur
nished the text for most OF the
speeches at the Third National Peace
conference here.
Cardinal Gibbons and Hamilton
Holt, president of the conference, who
spoke before Taft, said that the nego-

between the two English speaking ma
tons would mark the greatest step
toward universal peace that the world
had ever seen.
The people of the United States
have no desire for territorial ag-
grandizement," President Taft said.
1--WE have had wars and we know
what they are We know what re-
sponsibilities they entail, the burdens
and losses and horrors and we would
have none of them. We have mag
nificent domain of our own in which
we are attempting to work out and
show to the world the success of popu-
lar government, and we need no more
territory in which to show this"

HOLDING PEACE CONFERENCE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT AND IN
SURREcToS CONFER.
On the Banks of the Rio Grande the
Question of Peace or War is to
Be Settled.

FL Paso, TeXas.-After several pre-
iminary conferences of an informal
nature in the last three months, the
Mexican government and the revolu-
tionists, headed by Francisco Madero,
Jr., formally gathered in peace nego-
tiations across the Rio Grande half
way between the federal stronghold of
Juarez and the Madero camp five miles
away to the north of the city.
Judge Carbajal of the supreme court
of Mexico represented the government,
while DR.. Vasquez Gomez headed the
rebel commission assisted by Fran
cisco Madero, Sr., with Senior Pine
Juarez as legal adviser Credentials
were exchanged by both sides and the
negotiations begun.
1t was stated at the Madero camp
by one of the insurrectos that the res
ignation of President Diaz finally was
included in the list of revolutionist
demands. Just how Judge Carbajal
will deal with that question-for of
course it will be discussed-was mat
ter OF much conjecture IN the lnsur-
recto camp.
1t is believed he will seek to have it
excluded from the provisions of the
peace agreement, though it was ru-
mored that he would repeat various as
surances- already made to the insur-
rectos by President Diaz himself to in
termediate persons that he intended to
relinquish the presidency after the
peace agreement was put into effect.
The character of the credentials
presented by the federal envoy recog-
nizes Francisco I. Madero, Jr., as the
leader of the revolutionists and the
government now will look to the rebel
leaders under his command for their
influence in restoring complete tran
guilty in all parts of Mexico.
