PROF, SEMMOLA TELLS THEM HIS VIEWS OF BACTERIOLOGY. ‘The Two Italian Delegates Friend: Again—A Scene of Reconciliation on the Stage—An Abstract of Prof. Sem- mola’s Pa) the Banquet Tickets Heiss ial Ent iments, etc. ‘The first delegates to arrive at the general session Of the congress at Albaugh’s this morning found the curtain drawn and two distinguished looking gentlemen standing upon the stage in conversa- tion with Dr. Davis and Dr. Gihon. One of these, who was in earnest conversation with Dr. Gihon, Was Dr. Mariano Semmola, the Italian senator and “father of science,” ae he 1s called in hisown country, who was to read the very interesting Paper of the day. ‘The other was a stranger in the hall, and was standing silently by the side of President Davis, He was a tall man of very dark complextion, with straight black hair brushed back from a rather high torehead, large, soft, brown eyes,a sharp Roman nose, bronzed skin, and a very long beard of raven black. His countenance bore that mild, almost pathetic, Cie? so common to Italians. He was Dr. Durante, the Italion delegate, who withdrew froin the congress n account of the precedence given his country- man, Dr. Semmota, in being selected to reply to the welcome arldréss of Secretary Bayard. ‘Their quarrel had been settled, Dr. Durante had come ack into the congress, and was to preside at the meeting this morning to seal the amicable com- pact. Dr. Durante took a seat by the side of the president, Dr. Ginon, and Dr. Semuoin sat, be- ind them, The swartny Dr. Banga, of Chicag: Bat al the table to the right, and Surgeon-ceneral Hamilton occupied bis place on the lett. Dr. Garnett stood looking over some memoranda, and Dr. Atkinson held a big bundle of dispatches in ni ‘The attendance was smaller than on previous days, since the address was to be in French, which many delegates could not understand, President Davis called the congress to order, announcing j hat Dr. Atkenson, who is the postmaster-general ‘Of the conclave, as 1t were, would call out the Tames of those for whom thére were letters and dispatches, ‘THE SOCIAL. ENTERTAINMENTS, Dr. Garnett then advancing, suld “It had been ascertained that the tickets to the banquet recep- Uon at the Pension Building on Thursday night have been surreptitiously or improperly obtained Dy many persons who donot belong to the medi. al profession, and in onder to avoid a recurrence of the humiliating spectacle presented on Monday night last, the committee have decided to cancel all banquet tickets heretofore issued, and issue a new Ucket, which can be procured at the ticket- Dox of this opera house during the day; those ap- plying for such Uckets will not fail, 1t is hoped, to Wear their badges and present, if ' possible, thelr certincate of registration. “The foreign guests to the banquet will be re- ceived at a private entrance. As there seems to be some misapprehension respecting the invita ton to Grassland, the country residence of the honorable secretary of the Navy, I wish to repeat ‘thatit has been decided by the committeeto restrict this to the families of our foreign guests. ‘The dis- tance from the city renders it necessary to travel 4m carriages, making It a3 tmpossible to take Dut a Umited number. ‘The ladies will be supplied with cards of invitation indicating the hour and point of departure.” ‘The doctor showed considerable feeling when he referred to the mob at the Pension Hail, and the announcement was received with applause. President Davis announced that the committee on collective investigation of disease would meet in the Riggs House parlors promptly at 3 o'clock Uhis afternoon, He called particular attention to an announce- ‘ment that the program of the general session had been changed yesterday. ‘Two addresses that were expected not being here, there would be only one address each morning. He urged the delegates to assemble promptly at 10 o’ciock in the morning. ‘To-morrow morning, Dr. P. G. Unna, of Ham- burg, will deliver an’address on the “ielations of Dermatology to General Medicine.” On Friday Dr. G. Fielding Blandford, of London, will deliver an address on the “Treatment of Kecent Cases of Insanity in Asylums and in Private Hospitals.” DR. DURANTE INTRODUCED. After these formal announcements President Davis led Dr. Durante to the forward part of the stage and Introduced him as the presiding officer of the session, ‘This announcement was an agree- able surprise to many, and the whole assemblage broke out in loud appiiuse. Almost at the same moment Dr. Semmola wasintroduced, and the two, yesterday enemies, to-day friends, stood side by Side at the presidenv’s table for a moment—a tableau of reconciliation and fraternity. ‘There Was a striking contrast between the two men, Dr. Durante, dark and swarthy, as above described, has a dreamy ease in hig manner. Dr. Sem- mola, a smuller and older man, of much fairer complexion, 13 the embodiment of energy, quick, gracétal in his movements, and command: ing. ere again applauded, and Dr. Sem- mnvia began his address in French. ‘The address on “Bactereology and Its Yherapeutical Relations” might have been some beautiful poem, or some marvel of stirring eloquence, so grandly Was it de- livered and go enthustasticaily received, He spoke in aclear volee, and his gestures were remarkably gra PROP. SEMMOLA'S ADDRESS. The object of medicine, Prot. Seinmola said, 1s to cure disease. If there were no ills there would be no doctora. To cure diseases we must know the causes that produce them. The external causes arevistble and tangible, To discover the internal, invisible causes 1s the aim of medical science. "16 solve this problem we must employ the true method of solving all problems—the experimental method. Before the ‘experimental method was known doctors lost themselves in fantas- Uc speculations. Upon the discovery of the experimental methou serious study began. The marvelous progress of physiology was made 4m the light of experumental methods. Whea they had studied the morbid condition, the doct in- ‘stead of gotng On with the same careful and siow reseat wanted to hurry on, because they wanted tocurethe sick. But to apply the experimental Method and, at the same ime, fa fast, is in the ature of things impossible, 80 it happened that while the doctors were making their Le ee of havi master these studies, they came atonve to a con clusion, "They had vb make new ‘hypotheses sed without kuowing it they began aguin the same errors that had characterized the medicine of ah earller day. ‘Thus new systems came into the fleld which were the Opposite of ‘the experimental method. If medicine to progress and be a sci- Feel ire not male the experimental mé othe there can nothing but renovatio! error and loss of Lime. Like sdhaggion nae ‘THE LABORS OF LisyrHvS, the same errors are repeated without knowing it. ‘The error of the day, Prot. Semmola said, is bacte. rlology considered as the key to all pathology, Bacteriology should be studied, because it teaches ‘Us what is in the microscopical world of which we had never dreamed the existence —a imlcroseoploat World in which man lives, and whieh is flied sack enemies of mankind. Wedrink millionsor microtes in water and respire millions in the air, Some- Umes these microbes affect us; somettings Kiliieg ‘Us in a few hours. When it becomes our duty to cure the sick we must go slowly, because ‘been careful” deménstration, woe, attempt to deduce a remedy, wé are dange ES dtd eda ae harm modern acteriology does." ‘The docters: at ‘once. concluded that the microbes were the caus disease, whereas, in many. Sie a ite id a Pep oy this i a problem we caunut suis?“ beg i j B He i a il 88 f i 8 i cei Jearns her laws and respects them. If he supposes & fact instead of demonstrating it, the ree are not reproduced. When he resorts to seg the power of man disappears, If nature's laws are not respected the telephone does not work, the electric light does not flash, the steam-engine ‘stops. ‘The doctor, then, is the only one who pre= tends to become ‘the master of nature without knowing her laws. Referring again to the failure “of medicine to follow up a discov. ery in the scientific way with thorough research and demonstration and its ten dency to accept conclusions quickly, Prot. Semmola said that modern bacteriology may lead the way fo the most fruitful fleld of inquiry in the future, Dut for the present it has produced no practic Tesults in the cure of internal diseases. It has not, he claimed, been demonstrated in what meas- ure microbes are the causes of diseases. He there. fore hoped that the younger generation would continue experimental researches with the thoroughness of method which the great masters have transmitted to us. They must renounce thelr preconceived ideas in medicine, and interro- gate nature without torturing her. ’ Sclentific 1n- ‘pendence must be preserved. They must not proceed without measuring ‘their steps. He Trusted that his desire for sclentific independence in such researches would be echoed in this land of independence. At the conclusion of the address a vote ot thanks Was extended to Dr. Semmola, seconded by sev- eral delegates on the who made very com- plimentary references to the value and interest of the address, ‘TH NEXT MEETING PLACE. Dr. Gihon noved that the president be directed to appoint a committee of an equal number of dele- gates from each nation to arrange for the time ‘and place of holding the next. con thelr re- Port to be made on Friday. Dr. tmaster-Gen- eral” Atkenson announced that he had opened @ Post-omtice in the Opera House ticket office. END OF THE DUKANTE UNPLEASANTNESS. ‘The misunderstanding between Dr. Durante and the committee of arrangements of the congress on account of the precedence accorded Dr. Semmola, ‘Was finally settled through the earnest efforts of Dr. Hamilton and others. In response to a letter from Dr. Hamilton a note was received from Dr. Durante this morning, in which he said: “I thank you for your explanatory and very kind letter, and, although I feel that my position as the repre- sentative of the Italian governmeet would, under the circumstances, suggest my withdrawal from the Medical Congress, the kind disposition of your- self and of the officers of your committee toward me and my country overcome my sense of offended dignity and lead me to respond to your kindness by remaining and participating in the proceedings of the congress.” After the adjournment Dr. Durante and Dr. Sem- mola shook hands cordially and publicly on the stage, SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENTS THIS EVENING. ‘This afternoon, from 4 to 6 o'clock, a lawn party will be given in honor of the members of the Medi- cal Congress by ex-District Commissioner Josiah Dent, at his residence on Koad street, at the head of 31st street, West Washington. To-night from Sto 12 p, m.,, receptions will be given by Mr, and Mrs. Thos, Wilson, 1218 Connecticut avenue, and Representative and Mrs. Jno. M. Glover, 1301 Con- necticut avenue. “At Home” cards have been issued for the receptions. NOTES. One of the Irish physicians, Dr. Murphy, wrote a letter to Seeretarysdeneral Humlicon, complaining that he had been affronted by not belng invited to the banquet of medical editors Monday night, and announcing his intention of withdrawing from the congress, A letter has been sent to the doctor stating that the banquet was not given under the auspices of the congress, but of some of the indi. vidual delegates to it, add that consequently the congress had no voice whatever in tbe matter. He 4s asked under the circumstances to reconsider his action. ‘Profs. W. H. Norris, Thos. B, Evans, M. E. Rel of Baltimore, X. V. Spuera and Geo. "H.

These references were warmly applauded. He sald that, while they were all one iu faith, they were also one in the common love of this country, where freedom of conscience was secured to all citizens, He congratulated the members upon living in guch country and in such an age.

BL ‘The New York World to-day publishes a six- column letter from Ballard Smith giving the result of a series of conversations he has had with Presi- dent Cleveland. A good deal of the article is de- Voted to descriptions of the President's methods of ‘work, both at the White House and at Oak View, with which the readers of Tae Star are already familiar, Mr, Cleveland's utterances, however, upon national questions will be read with the greatest interest, especially as it 1s understood the President personally revised Mr. Smith’s copy, so that the expression of his views may be consid- ered as absolutely authoritative, THE GRAND ARMY AND WS VISIT TO ST. LOUIS. Touching the recent agitation in the Grand Army, the outgivings of Tuttle and the Wheeling episode, the President sald: “The soldier having Aid down his arms, after making $0 many, sacri. fices and enduring so many hardships, having achieved such a vast and good work in ayes ing our republic, should be pre-eminently the best citizen. When he again in time of peace resumes his citizenship, his desire for the peace and quiet of his country and 1ts rity, entirely depen. dent upon these, should be emphasized by the very trials he has undergone. I do not belleve he can be carried away from the even plane of that good citizenship by the devices of unscrupulous men who would use him for partisan purposes,” When asked if he believed there would be any trouble in St. Louis as a result of the Weel in- cident, the President said: “I do not believe there is any truth inthis. It is contrary to what I know Lo be the spirit of the municipal ‘and commercial bodies which have invited mc there, and which I believe to be tue spirit of the whole people of St. Louis, They certainly are animated by the most piesa Leou toward their September visitors, and will leave nothing undone which the most courteous host can do to make the stay of the Grand Army delegates as memorable and as pleas- ant an Occasion as possible. I believe that they Would omit to do anything which would interfere with the comfort and thorough enjoyment of their guests.

Loxpox, Sept. 7.—The Zimes is the only paper’ Which contains the invitation to Mr. Gladstone to be present at the centennial celebration in Phila delphia, and Mr. Gladstone's declination. This 1s accompanied by a letter conveying Mr. George W. Childs’ assurance of unbounded hospitality, not only in Philadeiphia, but turoughout the Union, and declaring that Gladstone would be enter- tained as no man had ever been since Latayette’s visit. The imes comments in its usual bitter spirit on this, and regards the selection of Gladstone as improper.
