THE DIPHTHERIA CURE.
Iltport of J. J. Klnyonn to FnrftM
General Wyman of tlia Nat;.
Washington, Doe. 8.—Of particular ■
Interest at this time is the report j
made to Surgeon Oeneral Wyman of
the navy by l)r. .1, ,1. Kinyoun, the I
mar ne hospital surgeon, who, at the
invitation of Professor Koux. investi
gated the methods employed at the
l’astcur institution, Paris, in the
preparation of the new cure fur
diphtheria.
Dr. Kinyoun says that after spend
ing a month at tho institute ho had
seen sufficient to enablo him to form
an intelligent estimate of the value
of tho discovery. More is to he said
in its favor than was claimed for it by
Professor Koux in his paper on the
subject before tho international con
gress of hygiene and demography,
held at liuda Pestli in September.
The report gives in detail the steps
necessary in tho preparation of tho
serum antitoxine which include, first,
the preparation of the toxines of
diphtheria; second, the immunization
o' animals; third, preservation of and
conservation of theserum. The man
ner of producing immunity in an ani
mal may be performed in one or two
ways—by injections of the toxines or
by inoeculations of tho bacilli.
The former method has been found
to be the best and at
present is tho only one in use. In
the experiments oil Professor Koux
and I)r. Martin, animals of all kinds
were used, but now they use tho
horse, as it has been found to be the
most satisfactory.
Of tho eighty-two eases which came
under Dr. ICinyonn’s observation three
died. The statistics show that there
lias been a gradual diininuition of
mortality since lust May.
The report continuing, says: “Tho
efficacy of tho serum is better shown
in the tracheotomies than in all
others. The mortality under the
usual conditions has been from 1880
to 1804, something frightful to con
template. Fully eighty-five per cent
of the litt.lo patients have succumbed.
Since the commencement of the serum
treatment the dentil rate has been
lowered to less that forty-seven
per cent and the eases upon
which tracheotomy must be per
formed are fewer and fewer.
It is now possible to immunize the
reagents of tho disease. Unfortun
ately the Immunity is not of long du
ration. Tho longest time in which it
is thought to be protective is six
weeks, one injection being sufficient.
Tho future possibilities in this condi
tion cannot be overestimated, as wo
have in tho serum the almost absolute
preventive of epidemics of diph
theria.”

THE GOLD RESERVE.
A Loss of Over a Million and a Half la
One I>aj.
Washington, Dec. 8.—The cash bal
ance in the treasury yesterday was
$154,727,083. of which $100,500,123 was
net gold. This is a loss in gold since
Wednesday’s report of $1,581,807.
The treasury officials offer no ex
planation of this increase, but the in
formation comes from New York that
during the last three days the sub
treasury has several times been
obliged to meet demands for gold in
exchange for legal tenders, but so
far as known here none of the gold
withdrawn lias been exported. The
present high rate of sterling exchange
($4.SS) makes it probable, however,
that before the close of the present
week considerable amounts will be
withdrawn for export to France,
where the demand just now is greater
than in England. The treasury offi
cials decline to discuss the probnbili- I
ty of extensive withdrawals, but it is
believed that they feel appreliensivo |
of still further losses

in a fistic encounter, in ivliich Itoone
punished Skelton for alleged black
mail. To-day Skelton filed proceed
ings for disbarment against Itoone
and Judge Reed set the case for hear
ing on December it).
Skelton charge* that County Attor
ney Itoone hus collected and retained
for his own use, by virtue of his office,
numerous sums of money to dismiss
cases pending against criminals, and
has collected costs in eases from de
fendants on promises to dismiss crim
inal charges against them, has appro
priated such costs to his own uses and
has caused the county to also pay the
same costs: that Itoone has accepted
money anil payment of costs from
persons convicted of misdemeanors in
justice* courts who appealed to the
district court, to dismiss the cause in
the higher court and afterwards in
dorsed the bills for the same costs
against the county and himself re
tained the amounts paid to him
personally, that Itoone began
a number of liquor prose
cutions and afterward entered
into a compact with the defendants
to dismiss the charges on payment of
the costs and attorney's fee in
each case and the payments de
manded were made and the cases
dropped, the money collected being
appropriated by Itoone to his own
uses; that on one Sunday, Itoone got
drunk in a saloon and when the po
lice officers ordered the place closed
countermanded the order and agreed
to protect the violators of the law,
and that ho became so noisy that the
police officers threw him out of the
saloon into the gutter; that he is a
frequenter of joints and is constantly
found in them drunk and disorderly,
and that lie is in the habit of order
ing wines and liquors and telling the
jointists they would bo credited for
the same on their fines
The charges are all definite and the

alleged to have entered into these
deals are given.
Boone denies the charges in toto
and he says that he will have Skelton
arrested on a charge of blackmail.

| NATIONAL ARBITRATION**
I The Springer BUI Ultely to Be ^
| Through Coogreu IhU Vt,„„
| Washington, Dec. 6.—Lnboriv.
| missioner Wright will hare a coni!
ence to-morrow with Chairman V
! Gann ot the house committee
labor, Representative Springer !
thor of the pending arbitration k
and Representative Erdman, W|
wrote a favorable report on the hi
They will go over the question with
view to outlining a program for i,
mediate action in congress on i
matter of national arbitration *
strikes.
Chairman McGann says of the nrc
peets of passing an arbitration b
this session: “1 think such a bill w:
go through the senate and ho»
without any difficulty. There seen
to be a general feeling, without re
erence to party, as to the opportim
ness of such a measure. Cndi
ordinary circumstances it won
be difficult to get tW
such an important bill at a shd
session, but the feeling is so ripe f,
action that it is expected to passbot
houses. The Springer bill, now r,
ported, is almost identical with tt
recommendations of the president
strike commission. Mr. Wright wi
be asked for suggestions to peris
the bill and then there will be
united effort to secure speed
action.”
The Springer bill provides for tk
appointment of a permanent board i
arbitration of three persons, one i
whom may, in the discretion of tk
president, be the commissioner of k
bor. The term of their ofliee is tiSi
at six years and their »ali
ries at 85,000 a year, an
their appointment shall k
made by the president by an
with the advice and consent of tk
senate. Arbitration is secured by tk
petition of one of the parties to tk
controversy. When neither patq
asks for it there is no compulsory a
hitrntion, but on the application of
state legislature the president mi]
tender the offices of the national cos
mission.
The power of the commission ti
settle strikes is defined in the bill ■
follows: "The said national boaria
arbitration shall have power whenj
their discretion, the public lntersi
are at stake, to investigate the caia
of all controversies and disputes!*
tween employes and their cmplctn
in the United States as they may «
cur, and the conditions accompac;
ing them, and the best means of tliei
adjustment, whether such contn
versies and disputes are submitte
for arbitration or not, and to repra
thereon to the president, who sliai
from time to time transmit such re
port to congress. Said board sliai
have power to settle and adjust b
conciliation all such disputes at
controversies so far as it may be pos
sible to do so.”
Tt is pointed out that the mnri
effect of a settlement proposed s
the national commission would i
sufficient to make it. effective, at
that this would be better than drasti
measures to compel acceptance.
