BRYCE AND RECIPROCITY.

The British Prime Minister defended
in the Commons the course Of Am
bassador James Bryce In respect TO the
reciprocity negotiations between the
United States and Canada. Mr.. AS
Quith showed Mr.. Bryce's conduct to

the ambassador appears TO have act

diplomatic adviser TO the Canadian
government. but not to have intruded
his own opinion or TO have influenced
the negotiations in any way.
IL is rather absurd 70 attribute 10

charged with having exercised. sir

would have influenced Sir Wilfrid no

responsibility and Mr.. Bryce did not
share in Il.
Mr., Bryce evidently has the approval
of his government at home. While We
here consider him TO have been model

he is soon to retire. We shall know
that IL is due TO his own desire. He

WAR ON WHITE PLAGUE.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910, tho
death rate from tuberculosis in the
United States declined from 1862 fog
each 100000 persons living to 1893, 4
decrease OF 1877 per cert. while the
general death rate. including all causes
OF death, declined only one-halt as fast
or at the rate of 81 per cent, from
1850 to l.4a5.S
These figures are given out in a
statement issued today by the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. They are
based on data distracted from the re-
ports Of the United States bureau OF
the census, and cover the reglstra-
tion area in this country. According
to the statement, the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily since 1905
when it was 2O16. on the other hand,
the general death rate shows fuctua-
ton downward in general trend, but not
as steady as the tuberculosis rate. The
decline IN the tuberculosis death rate
in the last ten years means saving
Of $1,000 lives at the present time.
In certain cities. such as New York,
Boston. Cleveland and Chicago and in
..,,o, tft,o s.o,.t,,,..,,s Dboa T.l
and and Connecticut, the decline IN
the tuberculosis death rate is much
more marked than in the country at
large.
The National Association says that
there are many factors working TO.
gether TO cause the decline in the tu-
berculosis death rate. such factors as
the change in the character of our mr.
ban population, increased sanitation
and better housing. but probably as
potent a factor as any has been the
tuberculosis cam
paign. 1t may be foretold with con-
siderable certainty" the statement
concludes, that when the effects of
the present rapidly increasing provis-
ion for the care Of tuberculosis patients
shall have Become evident, the decline
In the death rate from consumption in
the incoming decade will be even more
marked than that in the last one"
