Give Specific Instances of Digease Transmission From Cattle. e LONDON, July 25.—Presiding at this afternoon’s session of the British Con- gress of Tuberculosis, Earl Spencer, chancellor of the Victorla University and a vice president of the congress, severely criticized Dr. Robert Koch's theory to the effect that human beings were immune from contagion from tuberculous cattle. Earl Spencer said he hoped this was true, but that he hoped more that the dissemi- natién of such views would not tend to ause laxity on the part of the dairymen | nd cattle owners, or less vigilance b, the authorities charged with protecting the consumers of milk. The speaker earn- estly trusted the congress would not in- dorse the view that it was unnecessary to take measures to prevent the trans- mission of tuberculosis from animals to humans. Professor John MaecFadican of the Roy- | al Veterinary College read a paper on | tuberculosis bacilli in milk as a source of | tuberculosis in man. He said that until Dr. Koch had declared himself in this | connection to the contrary it was sup- posed toyhave been fully proved that h d bovine tuberculosis were identi- cal diseases. Instances of Infection. Professor MacFadican discussed the grounds on which Dr. Koch based his be- | lief, contending that they were either not | well founded or had little bearing upon | the question, and he submitted arguments | mained for regarding milk from tubercu- lous cows as distinctly dangerous to hu- man beings. Dr. Ravenel of Philadelphia gave an in- stance of the infection of ten persons from tuberculous cattle, hut said he con- | e rare. James King, a veterinary inspector of London, spoke before the congress, at- tributing the large increase in the im- ported meat trade to the rigld inspection | of home-killed cattle, and said a meat salesman assured him that the losses from condemned carcasses were so great that the British dealers were forced to buy imported meat. Mr. King dissented flatiy from Dr. Koch's belief in the non-trans- | mission of bovine tuberculosis to humans, and urged the adoption of stringent meas- | | fulness of imported carcasses. He also lurged a Government compensation for | cattle destroyed under its orders, in order | thoroughly to stamp out tuberculosis from British herds, where, he declared, it was alarmingly prevalent | King Edward received the visiting dele- gates to the Congress on Tuberculosis at Marlborough House this afternoon. His Majesty briefly expressed his keen inter- est in the congress and his hopes of fruit- ful results therefrom. i Berlin Physicians Skeptical. BERLIN, July 25.—~frofessor Koch's | statement of his discovery regarding tu- berculosis, as made before the congress now in session in London, has been re- ceived here with some skepticism among icians. Before the regular proceed- ings of the Berlin Medical Society began to-day the members discussed Professor Koch’s address informally, dwelling upon the fact that his present conclusion Is diametrically opposite to his former posi- tion. Several members pointed out that his new theory was asserted by him with as much decisiven: as the old. In the course of the session Professor Virchow referred to Professor Koch's address in the following term: “Nothing remains for me but to main- tain more positively than ever my view that the decisive thing in tuberculosis is the tuberculosis center, ‘tuberkelknoet- chen,” which is the pathological mark of tuberculosis and not the bacillus as such.” ' | TURKISHE GOVERNMENT | { IS ACIING ARBITRARILY | ron to Visit Smyrna, Salonica i and Mount Athos.

He was one of Schley’s personal friends when he (Lemly) was |in active line service. He accompanied Schley on the famous Greély relief ex- pedition and he rendered valuable services to him on that occasion, which service the senior officer recognized. | On the other hand, Captain Lemly has | known Sampson officially in the Navy De- partment when the admiral was at the head of the ordnance bureau, and they thus were thrown into close contact in | a business point of view for several years. Captain Lemly was judge advocate of the Jeanette court of inquiry. | The precept to the court probably will | | be issued to-morrow. It promises to be a rather extended statement of the scope of the inquiry, compared with such docu- ments in less important cases.

Rear Admiral Schley was not formally notified to-day by the department of the officers who will decide_ his case, but the precept will be sent to him and it will constitute his official notification. Mr. Long did not formally notify the officers who had been chosen to constitute | the court of their selection, and he was | disappointed to learn that Rear Admiral | Kimberly, whom he decided upon as the | third member, would ask to be relieved from the detail on account of ill health. | He said that Admiral Dewey, with whom he has consulted, had expressed the opin- jon that Admiral Kimberly’s health would permit him to discharge the duties | which he will be required to perform. Should he decline, the Becretary will select one of the other retired admirals to take his place. | Rear Admirals Luce, Ramsay, Jouett, Gherardi and Walker are some of the names that have been advanced for con- sideration. | ELoeg gD | SAYS SCHLEY DID RIGHT. i | Opinion of the Spanish Commander of the Viscaya. | NEW YORK, July 25.—The Journal has | the following from Cadiz, Spain: In reply | to the Journal's request as to his opinion | of Rear Admiral Schley’s maneuvers | | in the battle of Santiago, Captain Eulate, | who commanded the ill-fated Viscaya, to- day wrote the following: | “As a gentleman I can’t appreciate any | | maneuver of the Brooklyn in the battle | | on the 3d of July in front of Santiago as | | an act of cowardice, although the Brook- | 1yn went to port when the Teresa, with | Admiral Cervera abroad, tried to ram him | an¢ afterward when I, in the Viscaya, | also steered toward him, fell off 22 de- grees fyrther. ““This’ maneuver, considering the posi- | tion of the other American ships which were attacking the Viscaya by the stern and quarter, was a proper one.” Special Excursion. ; The Santa Fe will sell round-trip tickets to Stockton on Saturday, July Zith.

Fosburg, the gray-haired mother, went upon the witness stand and told in simple words how her daughter was killed. Her story was given with fre- Her voice Sheldon, a guest in the Fosburg home on the night of the tragedy, was another im- | portant witness. By her testimony the de- fense wished to show that there were burglars in the house and that they were seen by little Beatrice Fosburg. There was a long argument between counsel over the Government’s objections to the admission of this evidence, but the court finally allowed it to go in because what was said was spoken In the pres- ence of the defendant. Miss. Sheldon was relating the story of her having been awakened by a piercing scream and declared that she opened the door leading to May Fosburg's room and cried, “What is the matter?’ Robert, Beatrice and her father and mother were in the rcom at the time. Witness saw the body of May upon the floor, and at that instant Beatrice replied, ‘‘Burglars have entered the house and shot May.” Mrs. B. E. Bullard, now of Madison, Wis., znother witness, declared that on the fatal night at about midnight she heard two men talking loudly in front of her house, and that after they had been gone abouit an hour she heard pistol shots far off. Mrs. Nellie Beverly of East Cheshire, who lived in Pittsfield, testified that her husband was sick on the night of August 20, and she claimed that he was disturbed by .the loud breathing of two men who had stopped running when opposite her house. She opened the blind and told one of the men, who was standing by a tree, to_go away. Mrs. Fosburg was the last witness for e o the detense, and immediately after her | testimony was concluded the defense | rested. i Some rebuttal testimony closed the | case, with the understanding that the Government would have an opportunity of placing Colonel Whitney, the State de- tective, on the stand in the morning.

COLUMBIA, 8. C., July 2%.—The State Democratic Executive Committee here late to-night adopted a resolution reading Senator McLaurin out of the Democratic | party. The action was totally unexpected. Senator Tillman supported the resolu- tion, which was offered as a substitute for a resolution on which there had been much debate concerning the oath to be taken by candidates for Congress in the approaching election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Stokes of the Seventh District. The reso- lution follows: ‘Whereas, John McLaurin, junior Senator, elected to represent the State of South Caro- lina in the national Congress, has by his affillations and votes in that body ignored the national Democratic platform and thereby mis- represented his State and his Democratic con- stituency who elected him; therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense and convic- tion of the Democratic State Bxecutive Com- mittee that Senator John McLaurin, from the standpoint of honesty and self-respect, should tender his unqualified resignation Immediately.

The capital stock is to be increased from $700,000 to $2,500,000, and the additional issue of $2,000,- 000 in stock will be sold at $130 per share, with first purchase privilege to the pres- ent stockholders. The cash proceeds of the assessment on the existing stock and the sale of the new stock will, it is claimed, pay all présent obligations and completely restore solvency. William E. D. Stokes, who is a stock- holder of the Seventh National Bank, hag taken out a summons in the Supreme Court against the directors of the bank, President Thomas and Receiver Raynor. The complaint charges the directors with making reports to the stockholders to the effect that the capital of the bank was unimpaired when, as a matter of fact, it was already insolvent. After hav- ing further charged them with having given loans to insolvent persons and cor- porations without adequate and valid se- curities, the complaint goes on: “That the sald directors, defendants herein, so negligently and carelessly con- ducted the said bank and the business and affairs thereof that the entire capital and’ surplus, and much of the property and effects thereof, have been lost and stock of the sald bank rendered worth- less, and the stockholders thereof ren- dered liable for a large sum of money on account of the debts of the said bank re- maining unpaid " TARIFF CEASES WASHINGTON, July 25—The President to-day issued his proclamation establish- ing free trade between Porto Rico an the United States and declaring the or- ganization of a civil government for the lutions adopted by the Porto Rican Legis- |lature does it appear that the island is set free commercially to-day in commem- oration of the anniversary of the plant- ing of the American fiag om the island. The proclamation is headed ‘‘Cessation of Tarift—Porto Rico.” It recites that thg act of April 12, 1900 (otherwise known as the 'Foraker act), provided that whenever the Porto Rican Legislature has enacted and put into ope- ration a system of lgcal taxation to meet the needs of the government and by reso- lution so notified the President, the latter shall issue a proclamation and all duties on goods passin; between the United States and Porto Rico shall cease. As the Legislature has complied with that re- quirement of the act in terms set out in the resolutions which are quoted in full in the body of the.resolution, the docu- ment says: ““Therefore, I, Willlam McKinley, Presi- dent of the United States, in pursuance of the law above quoted and upon the foregoing due notification, do hereby issue this, my roclamation, and do declare and make known that a civil government for Porto Rico has been organized in ac- | cordance with the provisions of the said act of Congress. “And I do further declare and make known_that the Legislative Assembly of Porto Rico has enacted and put into ope- ration a system of local taxation to meet T PORTD RIGD island.

Showers have fallen in the northern half of the corn belt area since last night, in- cluding Eastern Nebraska, Iowa, North- ern Illinois, Northern Indiana and Ohio. Most of these rains, which generally were light in amount, fell last night. To-day there were some gslight precipitations, however, which, the forecast officials say, are not always conducive to the best re- sults to the growing crops, as they are mostly thunder showers, immediately fol- lowed by a hot sun. Showers, it is said, possibly may occur in the drought- stricken region to-morrow, as they usu- ally are_inseparable from visitations of intense heat, but no general occurrence of them is predicted. Temperatures in the corn belt, while a few degrees lower to- day than yesterday, were again high, ranging from 9% degrees to 100 degrees and higher. TOPEKA, Kans., July %5.—The temper- atures were not so high in Kansas to-day, averaging about 100 for the entire State. However, not the least relief has been experienced in the drought.
