CURED WITHOUT THE KNIFE. Cancers Saterum, 13% 6 a mw. aps-3mo CHARLES ALLEN, M. D. EXAMINATION FOR CONSULS. President Grant's Practice May Be Revived in This Respect. The attention of the Secretary of State has been drawn to.the fact that in the administration of President Grant a rule was made by the President requiring all consuls to be examined by a departmental board prior to appointment, and it is pos- sible that he may révive and even extend the workings of this rule if the President consents. As these officials, according to the Constitution, must be nominated and confirmed by the Senate, the selection of a consul by competitive examination would not necessarily be tantamount to an ap- pointment, for the Senate could still ex- ercise its power of rejection of the nomina- tion, but when it was once made clear that by such a rejection it would not be pos- sible to compass the appointment of a con- sul by personal influence, it is not be- Heved that this power would be often ex- ercised, and that consuls would really be appointed oh their merits and ability to fill each particular office. ‘There are at present about 400 consular places and at every change of administra- tion the pressure brought to bear upon the President and the Secretary of State to secure appointments to this service is over- whelming and the many changes which re- sult in the personnel invariably throw the entire service into confusion and suspend for a considerable period of time its bene- ficial workings. —_—____- e—____.

REASONS FOR THIS OPINION Se “The situation in Ohio is a most peculiar one, and there is much deception in the ranks of both of the great political par- ties,"” said ex-Representative James A. D. Richards of the seventeenth district of the buckeye state to a Star reporter today. After the adjournment of Congress Mr. Richards followed the course of magy mem- bers of that body who have become wed- ded to Washington and prefer making their home here. Accrdingly he entered a law firm, of which he is now at the head. Mr. Richards follows, however, with as much interest as ever the course cf politi- cal events in Ohio, which he is the better enabled to do because of an extended ac- quaintance with the leaders of his party throughout that state. A Star reporter found Mr. Richards today in his office in the Washington Loan and Trust building. McKinley and Foraker. “In order to thoroughly understand the condition of affairs in Ohio,” continued Mr. Richards, “it is necessary to look into the political history of that State in its bearing upon the leaders. McKinley was a protege of Garfield, who assisted him personally in his campaigns and really brought him to the notice of the country. Upon his death Garfield left McKinley as a legacy to Sher- man. . “Foraker is & man of great energy and of a fiery temper, and he has hated Mr. Sherman since he sought to supplant him in the United States Senate, and a bitter feeling has existed for some years in Ohio between the adherents of Foraker and Sherman. The nomination of Bushnell for governor was a triumph for the faction led by Foraker over Sherman and his adher- ents, and wounds were made by the Zanes- ville convention that will never be healed. At that convention there wad another dis- turbing element, as had been anticipated. A free coinage resolution was prepared and went to the committee on resolutions, which the friends of silver declared had been made up mostly of the enemies of silver for the purpose of smothering any such resolution in the committee and pre- venting a fight for silver upori the floor of tke convention. One of the members of that committee since the adjournment of the convention has bitterly denounced the course of the committee in avoiding un expression upon the silver question. The Democratic Trouble. “To return now to the democracy of Ohio. Brice is making a fight for the legislature and himself and the situation in the ranks of his party is a strange one. Many of the county conventions which have nomi- nated candidates for the legislature, no- ticeably at the home of Mr. Brice, suc- ceeded almost without opposition in plac- ing a plank in their platform demanding the free coinage of silver. This means an- | tagonism to Brice on the part of. repre- sentatives to be elected on these plat- forms. “The people of Ohio have been given to understand that Mr. Campbell would be nominated for -governor. It is not likely that Mr. Campbell will accept the nomina- tion under any circumstances, and the democracy must cast about for another candidate. Whom will it be? A success- ful business man, who by honest effort has succeeded in amassing a large amount of money, has lately come to the surface in Ohio,politics. In the election last fall when nine democratic candidates for Con- gress were defeated in his state (one of those elected having received Icss hun- dreds of majority than he received thou- sands in 1892), this man carried his dis- trict by an old-time majority. He is prob- ably the man whom the Ohio democracy will nominate to lead them in the coming battle, and then should he be elected gov- ernor and the legislature be democratic it is not unlikely that this man, Paul J Sorg, will be elected as United States Sen- ator to succeed Mr. Brice. Mr. Sorg is a man without a troublesome political rec- ord, which long service is apt to make for almost any man, and he is in accorg with a great majority of the democrats of Ohio. But the campaign will be hotly contested and until the gubernatorial candidates shall all be nominated and the party lines drawn, the situation in Ohio will furnish a fine field for political strategy py those deeply interested and for reflection on the part of the student of politics. Republican Lack of Harmony. “I have reviewed the situation in Ohio in order to more clearly make apparent the undercurrent of feeling there, which is apt to determine the result in the clection of governor, the legislature and Senator. The republicans are claiming that thelr party is harmonious in Ohio. We sce this stated on every possible occasion, but, far from having harmony, there is a feeling of great- est bitterness, which promises to split the republican party, to elect the democrat candidate for governor, to give the legis- lature to the democrats and to elect a democratic suc ‘sor to Mr. Brice. As I have indicated, Mr. Sorg appears to be des-*| tined as the leader of the democracy in the gubernatorial fight, and tf a democratic legislature is elected his great prestige and influence is likely to make him their choice for United States Senator. “The” Foraker forces have gained a most signal victory over Sherman, McKinley and their friends, and if Bushnell is elected governor and Foraker comes to the Senate Mr. Sherman and Mr. McKinley realize that their political standing in Ohio will be embarrassed. Mr. Sherman would be in a very unpleasant position if he were to have Mr, Foraker as his colleague in the Senate with whom to divide the patronage of the state, if a republican President is elected. Mr.’ McKinley, on the other hand, feels no confidence in the friendly declara~ tions of the Foraker peopie, who indorsed his candidacy for the presidential nomina- tion at the Zanesville convention. Mr. For- aker knows that if Mr. McKinley were President and Foraker and Sherman Sen- ators, Mr. Sherman would have-his way on all occasions, while the junior Senator from Ohio would have to play a subordi- nate part. A Campaign of Indifference. “Perhaps these considerations are in- fiuencing the Sherman-McKinley faction of the republican party, for among those who are best acquainted with the feelings of this faction many believe that they will inaugurate a campaign of indifference, which will result in the defeat of the re- publican nicminee, Mr. Busnnell, the loss of the legislature to the democrats and the consequent loss of the United States sena- torship. If this plan {s carried out and Ohio goes democratic Mr. Sherman will be the sole representative of the republican party of that state in the United States Senate, and should the country go repuv- lican his position will be a very important one. “I have the very best reasons for believ- ing that the situation I have outlined as prevailing in Ohio is the true one, and that the claims of harmony in the republi- can ranks are absurd and false.” ——————_e-_ Bitten by a Dog.

BARON VON THIELMAN The German Ambassador Interviewed on Current German-American Questions. How the Ganal at Kiel Was Built and How the Cost Was Boine—Mone- tary Conference Prospects. Baron von Thielman, the new German ambassador, has been interyiewed on cur- rent German-American, questions. “The project of a.deep-water canal con- necting the Baltic with the North sea was devised a century or more ago,” said he, “but it was not until,,about twenty years ago that the Germay government took it up and gave. jt ,practical form. These two great seas along Germany's coast have between them a;neutral coun- try, Denmark, and they are-neturally con- nected by the three chahriefs running be- tween the islands off the Danish coast. But in the winter these natural water- ways are choked up by:the foe, and should there be war, access through them might be stopped by an enemy. it was des able, therefore, for commercial, az well as strategic reasons, that a‘permanent water- way should connect these seas. There has been a small canal between them, but as it was but five feet deep, it was of little value to commerce, «+ : How It Was Built. “At first the project of a great canal was urged by private parties, a prominent en- gineer of Hamburg making the plans. Then the government took it up, so that it has been built entirely as a government enter- prise, without private interests. A feature that deserves special attention is that the entire work, involving an, expenditure of about. forty’ millions, has been completed at a cost below the original estimates by $200,000. This is probably without a paral- lel in the construction of great public works. And besides completing the canal inside the estimates, a high bridge, costing about $500,000, has been built in addition. How the Cost Was Borne. “The cost of the canal,” continued the ambassador, “has been borne by the Ger- man empire and the Prussian state jointly, as each receives special advantages from it, There have been no popular loans or lotteries in connection with it as was the case with the building of the Suez canal, Whether it will yield an income on the large investment remains to be seen, but the returns will come to the country at large rather than to the government as an investment. Although built by Germany it is open to the world,on exactly the same terms as to German ships. A schedule of tolls has been established, without dis- crimination, except that craft belonging to the government and to the canal construc- tion force go free.” Mostetary Conference Prospects. “What are the prospects,” he was asked, “that Germany will participate in an inter- national monetary conference?” “Let me ask,” the ambassador responded good naturedly, “what the United States will do? It ts doubtless somewhat problem- atical in both cases. To be sure the Ameri- can Congress has provided for delegates from this country if there is to be a con- ference, but it is yet to be determined that one will be called. I was present at the last conference and was not deeply im- pressed with the character of its delibera- tions or with Its results.” Baron von Thielman is known in Ger- many as a gold man, though the conserva- tive party to which’ he belongs is rather favorable to silver. The agitation for sil- ver, he said, came mainly from the agra- rian population in the north of Germany and was largely due to the low prices of farm products. He did not believe the im- perial government would take any step to- ward the calling of an international mone- tary conference until after the reichstag assembled in November, and a great deal then would depend-upon that body. Restrictions Against Amerfean Cattle. When asked if Germany. intended to re- move the restrictions pad in farce last sum- mer against American ‘Attle'!the ambassa- dor replied that this wodld dt be delayed after Germany wa3 ssduped fiat our cattle were free from Texas er, afid he denied very positively that Germanyis policy re-. specting American cattle was.n retaliation for the differential duty lgvied by the American tariff law on German sugars.

Dinners and Other Courtesies Come in Profusion—The Men Are Well and Hearty. Special Correspondence of The Eveuing Star. CAMP C. L. BEATTY, WINCHESTER, Va., June 23, 1895. The President's Troop arrived in this city yesterday afternoon at about 12:30 o'clock, and, although the ride was exceptionally dusty, the men stood it well and wére in good trim upon arriyal at the fair grounds, where camp was pitched. The ride from Front Royal to Wfhchester was through the valley of the Shenandoah, and the river by that name was crossed several times cn the road. In every town, so far, the troop has been treated royally, and the inhabitants apparently turn out with the sole object to give the troopers a good time; many are asked to dine at the farm houses and some at the village hotel. The officers are treated like lords or barons, and the man who said he would rather be a deal of a fellow in a little place than a litte tellow in a deal of a place would cer- tainly find his heart satisfied in a trip where a private of cavalry is treated with honors great enough to turn a country squire green with envy. When camp was reached the tired troop- ers found a lunch ready for them, which had been prepared by some of the thought- ful citizens of Winchester. An address of welcome was also given by Capt. Williams and Judge Clarke of this city: During the remainder of the day the camp was visited by many carriages laden with Win- chester’s fair daughters, who complimented Capt. Barbour and his men upon the ex- cellent arrangement of the camp and its neat Sobeerence: st night some of troop A’s lost men reached Wincheste: to_ rejoin the troop. They were First Lieut. Beatty, who was obliged to leave at Battleview on account of business; Lieut. Breen, Corpl. Thuee, Private Swartz and Private Lanning, who has entirely recovered from his sickness. In town last evening the boys had a jolly time. Some of the troopers who had been on the trip made by the President's Trcop in 1891 met old acquaintances, and many a pleasant chat was held. The troop was also invited to attend the Turner Ash- by Camp of the Confederate Veterans, where many relics of the late war were kept. These were especially interesting to the older members of the troop, and a very pleasant evening was given the troopers by the members of the camp. Altogether Capt. Barbour and his men have been more than pieased with the reception given them by the citizens of Winchester. Every man in the “town, down even to the bootblacks, has endeavored to contribuie to the gen- eral comfort of the cavalrymen and give them a taste of true Virginia hospitality. Many of the officers dined at the houses of friends in the city. Lieut. Renmie was asked to dinner at the residence of Col. and Mrs. Byrd, and many of the troopers were taken care of by Lieut. Breen, who seemed to make it his special business to see that they had a good time. Today Capt. Barbour, Virst Lieut. Beatty and Second Lieut. Pillsbury tdok dinner with Col. and Mrs. J. J. Williams and Capt. und Mrs. Beverly. “INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS . 12 ATTORNEYS ...... 4 AUCTION SALES. 10 BOARDING .. age 4 BUSINESS CHANCES. Page 4 (CITY ITEMS...

STRICTER LAW DESIRED Shortly before the adjournment of the last Congress a measure was enacted which, it is thought, is likely to cause considerable trouble in the prosecution of persons for selling impure, watered and adulterated milk, and, because of the nu- merous difficulties in the avay of prosecu- tions, none of the dealers has been called into court since the law was enacted. Re- cently, however, Prof. Hird, the chemist in the health department, gathered a few samples, and when the result of the analy- sis is known a case may be taken into court to test the law. While the law is a very rigid one, it gives the dealers cer- tain rights and privileges heretofore not enjoyed by them. In addition to protect- ing the consumers from being furnished with adulterated milk, the law gives the health officer power over the shippers, who are required to ship only pure milk, and their stables and cow sheds are required to be kept in good condition. There are other powers given to the au- thorities, as shown in the several sections of the law. Permits for Dairies. The law says that no person shall keep a dairy or dairy farm within the District of Columbia without a permit from the health officer. Application for a permit must be made in writing, upon a form pre- scribed by said health officer, and no ap- plicant for a permit is restrained from con- ducting business until his application has been acted upon. It is the duty of the health officer, upon receipt of an applica- tion in due form to make or cause to be made an examination of the premises which it is intended to use for a dairy or Cairy farm, and if, after examination, the prem- ises are found to conform with the regula- tions, the health officer shall issue the permit without charge, subject to suspen- sion or revocation at any time, without notice, whenever the milk supply from any dairy or dairy farm is exposed to in- fection by Asiatic cholera, anthrax, diph- theria, erysipelas, scarlet fever, smalJpox, splenic fever, tuberculosis, typhoid feve typhus fever or yellow fever, so as to ren- der its distribution dangerous to public health. No person shall bring or send into the District of Columbia for sale any milk without a permit, and the application for @ permit must be accompanied by such detailed description of the dairy farm or dairy where said milk is produced or stored as the health officer may require, and by a sworn statement as to the physical condi- tion of the cattle supplying the milk. Outside Dairies. If the health officer is satisfied that the milk to.be brought into the District of Columbia for sale or consumption will cause no danger to public health, he must issue, without charge to the applicant, a permit, on condition that none but pure and unadulterated milk shall be, with knowledge of its impurity, brought into the District; and that in the management of the dairy or Gairy farm the applicant shall be governed by the regulations of the health office of the District of Colum- bia, approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, when these regula- tions do not conflict with the law of the state in which dairies or dairy farms are located, and that such dairy or dairy farmmay be inspected at any time without notice by the health officer of the District, or his duly appointed representative. And it is also provided that the permit may be suspend- ed or revoked at any time without notice whenever the milk supply from such dair- les outside the District may be exposed to contagious disease. No Discased Workmen. It is also provided that no person suffer- ing from contagious diseases, or who has knowingly, within a period specified by the health officer, been exposed to such dis- eases, shalwork or assist in or about any dairy or dairy farm. - All milk wagons must have the name of the owner, the number of permit, and the location of dairy painted on them. All grocers, bakers, and other persons offering milk for sale must at all times keep the names of the dairymen from whom the milk on sale is obtained posted up in a conspicuous place where it is kept for sale. No person can offer or have for sale any unwholesome. watered, or adulterated milk, or milk known as swill milk, or milk from cows that are fed on swill, garbage, or other like substance, nor any butter or cheese made from any such milk. All milk must contain at least 12 per cent of total milk solids, of which at least 3 per cent shall be of fat. Skimmed milk must con- tain 9 8-10 per cent of milk solids, inciu- sive of fat. Skimmed milk must be labeled as such In letters at least an inch long. It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale milk from a cow less than fifteen days before or ten days after parturition, er from any cow which is known to be suffering from tuberculosis, splenic fever, anthrax, or any general or local disease which is liable to render the milk unwholesome. The health officer has power to isolate infected and unhealthy cows, and to force dairymen to have a proper water supply and gocd stables. The Babcock Test. Section 13 of the act provides the manner in which the samples are to be obtained, and this, it is thought, will cause trouble to the authorities, the -section reading: “That in all cases of sampling milk taken for analysis shall be taken, examined and analyzed in the presence of at least two wit- resses, one of whom may be the owner of the milk or his agent; and in allicases such sampling shall be made according to the Babcock- method, to wit, dumping the milk from one can to another not less than twice tefcre sampling.” This section of the act is obviously a re- sult of inaccurate language. The Babcock method or test does not consist “to wit,” as the clause would make it appear, of dumping milk from one can to another twice or ary number of times. There is a machine called the Babcock tester, invented by Dr. Babcock of Wisconsin, and indorsed by experiment stations all over the coun- try, by which advanced dairymen are now- adays testing the milk of each individual cow in their herds, and weeding out poor animals which do not produce milk up’ to standard in quantity sufficient to make them profitable to keep and feed. This Bab- cock 8tester is as near like the little ma- chine used by soda water men to produce “milk shakes” as anything else. It is simple, easily manipulated, and, it is claimed, unerring in its results. The inten- tion, doubtless, was in this section of the law to bring it into use in the District. Penalties Provided. The last section-of the law relates to penalties, providing that prosecutions shall be in the Police Court, on information signed by the attorney of the District or one of his assistants, and any person vio- lating any of the provisions of the act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction be punished for the first of- fense by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $25, or by imprisonment in the work house for not over thirty days, and for the second offense and each subsequent of- fense by a fine of not less than %” nor over $100, or by imprisorment in the work house for ninety days, or by both fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. If the person so convicted of a sec- ond or subsequent offense hold a permit under this act, the same shal! be canceled and no permit shall be issued to said per- son for a period of six months: Provided, ‘That any person @ persons under this act shall have the privilege, when demanded, of a trial by jury, as in other jury cases in the Police Court. Last year Prof. Hird appeared in the Police Court in a number of cases involv: ing charges of milk adulteration, and ex- FINANCIAL. b Money a To Loan. ~ —— This company has money to oan upow District real estate and acceptable cole ” lateral securitics in sums to sult. t If you desire to improve your present Property, or erect new buildings, this come pany will advance the necessary amount.

The profeesor's annual report shows that of the 1,175 samples of milk examined, 317 were collected immediately on their arrival at the depots, while of the balance, 798 were collected after they had passed into the hands of the retail Cealers. A few of the samples procured at the depots had evidently been tampered with. The aver- age percentage of fat for the 317 samples was 3.38. The 798 samples collected about the city showed only a percentage of 3.27; or a removal of nearly 20 per cent of the richness of the milk on an average. Besides this, 249 of the latter mentioned samples were below 3 per cent of fat and bore strong eviderce of having been tam- pered with. Convictions were possible in but thirty- three cases, because the law provides @ penalty only when something has been added to the milk, and does not take into ccnsideration milk deprived in part or whole of its cream. In this report Prof. Hird recommends the passage of a law on the subject, but there are some features of this law of which he does not arprove. = The ‘Commissioners yesterday afternoon adopted the regulations prepared by Health Officer Woodward concerning the dalry. business, under the provisions of the new law. The regulations go into detail as to the buildings used for dairy purposes, the receptacles to be used for milk, &c. Government Receipts. National bank notes received today for redemption, $328,189.
