Adjonrnment of the Great Interna- tional Congress—One of the Lead- ing Savants Gives His Views at Considerable Length, \Copyrtaht 1658 by James Gordim Bennett.) Pamis, Aug 4. [New York Herald Cable fal to Tue Ber]-—When things at- mospheric are at their very worst there is usually hope of their changing, but here we areon the very eve of the grand semaino avd though the sun does shine occasionally, the weather is still cool and unsettled. Many huve given up all idea of holiday flitting and yesigned themsclves to nursing their influ enzas and rheumatisms by their own fire- sides in Paris, Others have vanished south instead of north, neglecting De Anville and Ostendo for an unwonted summering in Rome or on the Riveira. Lastly, some are taking snatches of pleasure between the showers at the Jardin ae Pars, the cafes and the concerts in the Champs Elysees, which are nightly crowded with Americans and Englishmen. The great attraction at . these temples of delight is the Boulangist unthems. Sums apparently fabulous are paid some of the stars at the Ambassadeurs and the Poillon de la Herloge. Paulus gets $1,500. monthly, and Bourges, his rival, about half 28 much; while blatant divas who fol- Jow in Theresa’s wake earn $00 to $500. The growing bitterness between France and Italy is not likely to be mooted away by Signor Crispi's latest feats of diplomacy Fired bythe example of his master, marck, the Italian premier has blossomed out n the character of a crude, frank, plain- speaking statesmun who scorns his political haud. Long practice and genius makes the part easy enough for the Iron Chancellor to play, but it hardly fits Crispi, who isa novice st the business. His circulars on the Massowah «quostion are full of gall and perilous recrim ination. Crispi can’t forget or forgive the T'rench abolition of the capitulation of Tunis and takes great pains to assimilate that act with his own cool usurpation of supreme judicial authority of the Red sea port. So far France has not admitted the claim and has approved the refusal of the French- CGreck subjects to pay taxes to the Italians in Massowah. To yield would, of course, be to acknowledge the right of Italy to grab Massowah. Before France does that she may give Crispi a great deal of trouble. ‘The strike of the Paris ‘‘navvies" which began a few days since has spread until now 12,000 hands are idle and buildin g through- out the city is threatened with interruption. The navvies or terrassiers, as here called, have very definite plans. They seem to obey the mot ordre given them by the socialist miembers of the Paris city council. The rliief instigutors are Citizen Vaillant, the Bianquist, Citizen Jaffran, the possibilist, 1 De Snomi, the Boulangist. It was in- sinvated by a Pars paper the other night that the ringleuders of the strike are taking bribes from Germany, but this seems non- sense, I the strikers have prompters they are far more Ve in Belgium. The aims and reasons tho nayvies' strike may be gathered from an interview with Jaffran, “At pres- ent the terrassiers,” says Jaffran, “egrn 414 s for ten hours’ work, whereas men omployed by the city of Paris are making ¢ ses and 50 centimes. A man can't live on 3 contimes an hour in Paris. Navvy work is puid much better in England, where they only work fifty-four hours a week, and are often housed into the bargain.” Since then several bosses have offered to Lo back the wen. on these terms and the of¥ers have been rejected. The navvies now hold out for 9 franks and a working day of nine hours. They hope to drag the ma- sons, zine workers, carpenters, joiners and the whole building trade into the movements Meanwhile they have secured the alliance of the carters and to-day we are expecting a gencral strike of our old enemics, the cab- men, ‘The strikers have been parading the strects all the week, terrorizing workmen who persist in working and destroying tools. ‘I'be first international tuberculosis con- gross on record has just broken up a marked new doparture in medical science, Close upon fivo hundred doctors from every quar- ter of the world have been discussing tuber- culosis for a week and, strange to say, on Jeading points, were practically unanimous. Tho contral lessons all teach are, boil your milk well, have your meat well cooked. After tho congress I interviewed the leading members beginning with the president, Dr, Chouveuu, a big masterful old geutleman, with @ handsome likeness to the elder Dumas, “The t is vast,” said he, “but put your questions.” “Well,” said I, “what new fact has been revealed ut the congress! Have we come any neavor to curing tuberculosis i “Little absolutely new is revealed,” replied - Chouveau, “but many threads of valuablo knowledge have been gathered up. Much has been made certain that was uncertain. One of the most remarkablo fuets to rocall is the virtual unamity of con- fgross i adwitting the contagious nature of foreign likely to tubercolosis, and the possibility of its trans- mission from human beings to animals or vice versa, Ibeiieve, indeed, the only doctor who disputed the point of the practical iden- tity of tuberclosis in the case of men, women and cattle, now acknowledges his error, With my pupils I have done something to disseminate this knowledge,” added Chouveau, He might have said with Drs, and Vercuail, that he had done everything. “Having established 0 much,” continued the doctor, ‘‘we next came to the con- clusion that, though hereditary may. in many instances, explain consumption, in an immense number of cases, the most. in teresting, of tuberclosis, namely consump- tion, is traceable to diseased milk or meat. Our great enemy s the cow. Of her brother, the ox, the great preventative is to boil your milk thoroughly and ecat meat well done. It is quite a mistake to imagi that drinking blood or ecating raw is good even in unaema. The case of & lady, indeed, is quoted who died in six months from con- sumption, simply through drinking blood taken from a magnificent prize ox, which hud traces of tuberculosis. Boiling milk or meat thoroughly not de- stroy the qualitics of though it may digestable, “The meatof tuberculosis 18 not always viru- lent.

I must con- fess the congress was weak. New ideas and subjects were conspicuously rare, but one authority, M. Fremi, read an interesting paper, showing that in one-quarter of the cases treated at certamn sanitoriums, were obtained. he patients were shut up in a particularly healthy build- ing and obliged to obey their doctors blindly. Good air was the chief curative, in fact, so far as I know, pure air is almost the only agent to hope much from. “Yes,” said Chouveau, *the possibility of forbidding the marriage of consumptives was raised in passing, but we are not ready for such a radical step as that. The congress has done an immense service. The doctors are making great strides in the study of tuberculosis.” Dr, Peter, secretary of the congress, agreed with these views and spoke enthusi astically of the progress of the congress. About one hundred of the 450 members are forcigners, he said, from both the old and new worlds. *“The first thing I learned at congress,’ he added, “was the importance of pure milk, Only keep to that rule and one of the great chuses of tuberculosis will van- ish. Another valuabie lesson learned is, consumptives should not shut them- selves in stuffy rooms or sleep with windows closed and lighted fires, wrapping themselves up if necessary to avoid the chill. ‘Then, we haye now settied that the discase is contagious. These resuits we owe first to Villemin, next to Chauveau, thirdly to Koch, who discovered the Bacillus by which tuber- culosis is transmitted. The importance of the congress may be guessed when I tell you the cases of tuberculosis had increased nearly 25 per cent in the last twenty years, Dr. Villemin, who was elected chairman of the second tuberculosis congress which is to meet in Paris in 1800, kindly gave a whole hour to a description of the subject with me. “Tell me the result of the congress,” said I, “One serious scientific result,” replied Villemin, “has been the gether of o many doctors and help- ing them to know to what point medical science had reached, what was new in their own researches and what was old. The papers read may not have been alto- gether novel, but for the first time thoy directed the attention of the public to the chief causes of tuberculosis. By tubercu- losis, mind, we mean not alone consumption, but the various other forms of the same discase—-meningitis, humors, scofula, and even peritonitis. Thesc are now admitled to be tuberculosis. The disease is very communicable. How! Through the digestive orgaus or blood, by inhalation or inoculation, or by the germs ob- tained in the saliva. For instance, we have inoculated a number of cows, rabbits and guinea pigs with scraps of saliva, Many took the disease and died with the same symptoms as humun beings. Men and women are constantly giving tuberculosis to cattleand getting it back through meat and milk. This is how many happen to be con- sumptive who are engaged in the dairy, They cough and spit on a bundle of hay and the cow eats the hay and gets the disease. The cow 18 milked and some drink it and are apt to take the disease she gets consumption. Many strong people, of course, escape, and, in a general way, the stronger the general health and constitution, the less likely is the person to get the infection, but tho propor- tion likely to get consumption is very large. Over one-fifth of the population of the world dies of tuberculosis. In France alone 100,000 yearly perish.” I3 consumption hereditary " “Woll, opinions are very much divided. Many baye come to think it is nothing but acquired weakness makes some apter to cateh it than others. These base their theors on the rarity of cases of infunt tuberculosis. I myself am inclined to think it may sometimes be inherited. The danger of the contagion of saliva is a great point to guard against, especially in the case of poor people—that is the vast majority. Deaths by consumption are very common in the barracks and in all confined unhealthy places themortality result- ing isunusually large. For example,among those fine fellows, the gardes republicaiues, cures bringing to- who spend & longer time than the troops in the barracks. Yes, undoubtedly, tuberculosis, and baccilus, are now known to be an agent i transmit- ting discase. All preventative inoculation is, 50 far, useless. We cannot destroy tu- bereulosis by tuberculosis, What we need is some agent that kills baccilus, My son is now making experiments in that direction.” “Is there a cure for consumption!" contin- ued Villemin, “*Various cures have been sug- gested but the most are merely palliatives. Yet, Idon't say the disease is incurable. There is hope in open air health resorts, such as you have in America. Get into perfectly pure air, away from towns or even villages, on some height, live in the air night and day. The revivifying and even curative virtues of this treatment are wonderful. the diseased parts is uscless, as the malady is in the blood and crops out again in another place.” xcision of [——— TWENTY LIVES LOST.

The kaiser showed great and - continwod interest in all naval matters and gave the impression that hereafter Germany will pay much more at- tention to her navy: perhaps even to increase it that Germany and Ttaly together need fear no other naval power—scarcaly any other two navies—in the world. Politically Germany seems to be on the brink of new warscares. The North Ger- man Gazette, for instaace, says, regarding some Germans who were maltreated in France: ““This shows that our neighbor is an uncivilized state, Visitors to such barbar- ians should reflect whether the disagrecable features of their journey will not outwelgh their pleasures.” Prussia, 0o, scews to risk still more startiing trouble, according to the opposition vapers, There is a treasury sur- plus, not only large but rapidly increasing. “The income is underestimated. and the outgo overestimated, claim these papers. all for the purposes of piling up a surplus which is. al- ready enoimous, Figures are given and vigorous complaints dre made, but noone yet has made a reasonable explanation for the silent scerecy with which this surplus has been zecumuluted. There have been recently in Germany a number of queer accidents, At Munich, for instance, the stampede of four eclephants through the crowded streete during a great procession, is soiething new in the way of accidents. The elephants charged through the crowd lining the sireets, upsetting and trampling upon a dozen people. Scared originally by the stesn from a locomotive in the procession, the beasts became frantic with terror at the shricks of the peo- all around thew, and at the um- brella thrusts and kuife cuts they received in tramping through the crowd. Near Freim- reppe, the crowd was caught in a corner and compressed, partly from fear and partly by actual coutact with the elephants, almost to suffocation. Then they battered down the doors of the mint, but quickly came out of that building agam. Tn Heiligegeist street they upset a cab at the Cafe Heck and scared a man, who swung himself up on a big chan- delier, which broke and nearly caused a tremendous gas explosion. Finally, in Buum street, they battered down the doors of a small house, and, gettivg mside, wrecked the whole ground floor, while the people were on the roof praying and shriek- ing. One elephant attempted to go up stairs, but broke through with a crash, which nearly caused the people ou the roof to jump off. At last the eiephant tamer got control of the animals, and after hours of hard work they were gotten out of the house through a hole in the wall, : One specialist in ¢rime recently raked in almost cuough monay to be spoken of as & financier.

As the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City passes through Des Moines to reach St. Joseph, Mr, Whittmore #ays that the 40 cent rate on third class freight must necessarily apply to business between St. Paul und Des Moinc ey Voleanic Disturbances.

The Pope Insists on Maintaining His Temporal Rights—Berlin Police Deal Summarily With the Aunarchisty, [Conyright 1858 by N. Y. Associated Preas.) BERLIN, Aug. 4.—William's monarchial itin eracy since his interview with Prince Bis- marck at Friederichsruhe has been modified in most important directions. Tt was sup- posed that the emperor, in accordun ce with family arrangements, would pay his re- s to the queen of England during jected stay at Baden. The queen, however, intimated through the German embassy at London that she did mot intend to go to Baden or any other place on the con- tinent. Yesterday a formal note was sent by Prince Bismarck through the embassy, asking the queen to receive Emperor "Will- iam, Wwho intended to visit England. The emperor will arrive in London in November during the winter session of parliament, Under the present circumstances his majes- ty's visit to England will be a state and not a family affair, and the queen must meet him in London or at Windsor. The foreign oftice officiuls believe that Prince Bismarck intends to accompany Em- peror William to England for the purpose of conferring with the queen on affairs relating to the late Emperor Frederick. The pope has been asked if the emperor goes to the vatican and remains as a guest of the pope for a day prior to his reception & the quirinal, whether he will withdraw his objections. Mngr. Galimberti is understood to have replied that the pope must mantain. his temporal rights. The nuncio continues to urge the emperor to forego his visit to King Humbert, unless the meeting takes Pplace at Milan or Murin, Continuous arrests have occurred since ‘Thursday morning of suspected socialists in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipsic, Frankfort and every center, They are supposed to be asso- ciated with an anarchist plot in Vienna for a simultaneous attempt to rob postofces and banks in Austrin and southern Ger- many. The Berlin police burcau have avoided arresting the leading social- ists, but under communications from Vienna are shadowing Austrian anarchists. An imperial Austrian decree, signed by thewhole cabinet, suspends teial by jury in charges aguinst anarchists throughout five provinces. The decree is to remain in force for one year. It empowers without a judicial warract, the arrest, im- vrisonment and exceution, not only of soci- alists, but persons sheltering suspects, It forbids the sale, possession or manufac- ture of arms and ammunition and prohibits public mectings or assembling of crowds; authorizes the police to make domicihary visits and to search newspaper ofiices and take summary measures regarding editors, and imposes stringent rules respecting pass- ports on the arrival and departure of foreign- ers. Arbitrary as the decreo appears, it is forced upon the government by unarchist conspiracies. It is based upon the discovery of extensive preparations to try to capture - the government offices in which money Is stored, and which are the least protected, The Austrian socialists hold constant inter- course with the anarchists i France, Eng- land, Switzerland and America. King Milan of Servia, with the crown prince, arrived at Vienua to-day. He wires here to say that he will remain in Vienna until to- morrow night, when he takes the crown prince to some place in southern Bavaria, The king himsclf goes hunting with the prince regent. A band of masked anarchists attacked the postoffice at Nankassel, near Presshurg. The officials fought and repulsed the robbers but the latter secured the cash hox, taking that and their wounded away with them.
