Hmu.ix , Nov. 23. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the Hni : . ] The ruinortlmt
a Berlin physician has nt last succeeded In
isolating the bacillus which Is supiwscil to
rauso cancer , has attracted much attention In
Berlin. It Is generally thought such a ills
covery might in some way be advantageous
to the crown prince. The discoverer Is r
young physician , lr. Scheurllne , an assistant -
ant at the Itoyal hospital. Pending furthei
experiments Scheurllne prefers not to explain
plain his methods and the results of his re
ftearch. A friend , who has witnessed some o
the Investigations , explains them to me as fol
lows : "The bacillus in question , which wit !
found In cancerous matter , is peculiar to it
After a microscopical examination , to do
tcrmlno that ho was dealing with a new fern
of micro life , the family of the bacillus win
carefully isolated , and cultivated
according to the usual methods
Injections into a dog of itortiotn
of this cultivation bacillus broth , produced i
chronic sort of cancerous typo. Such in
vestlgatiuns with these supposed cance
germs were much Impeded by a long pcrioi
of Incubation during which , us in the crowi
case , thoie may be-no decisive signs of dis
faso. For each experiment at , least si :
months will be necessary before any cor
- tainty Is attained. There is also the difll
culty that no animal is subject to cancel
though some species of animals have disease
closely resembling cancer. Even though th
discovery is all that is hoped , it Is likely t <
remain for a long time of merely scientill
Witcrest. The utmost that can yet bo hopoi
Is that omo substance may bo discoverei
deadly to these organisms but harmless i
the patient. Inoculation as practiced fo
small-pox , nnd attempted for cholera am
hydrophobia , is not to bo dreamed of , pnrtl ,
because cancer is not sufficiently common t
imiki ) the preventing Inoculation of th
masses practicable. Later , when the cance
declares itself , inoculation would , necordin
to present knowledge , be useless. "
Sehourlino Is positive regarding his di1
covery , claiming that no loopholes for mis
takes huvo been left , but before publishUi
his experiments he wishes to submit them t
the profession in Berlin for their Judgment
Canccr'by the way , has long been suppose
to have been the result of some micro-orgai
ism. Several of the most eminent mien
woplstshavo been at work on the tame prol
lorn Scheurlino hopes he him solved. If tbl
discovery is genuine it will in nil probability
greatly aid the physicians in treating an a
lied disease which is more common but as it
curable as cancer.
lector Scheurliiics supposed case c
bacillus was to-night the sensation of met
icaI circles. The largo hall in the Archi
teuton house was filled to overflowing wit
nearly all the physicians in Berlin. Undt
half a dozen microscopes , the supposed cans
of the cancer disported himself before sciei
title eyes , though not before th greatest c >
port , Prof. Virchow. Other specialists eitht
wcro not present or left the room withoi
paying their respects to Bacillus , the hero c
the evening. "Not proven" was the verdh
of the majority present. Several physician
were itiito | enthusiastic over the discover ;
Schuerline himself remains convinced of III
importance and correctncsss of his invcstigi
tions but the best authorities , who foliowc
the explanation and discussion closely tel
mo the announcement made was soinewhr
premature. While there is probably con
hldernblo truth in the claim made , ther
U11 remains much work to do before Hi
discovery can lake position as a recognize
Hciontiilc fact. All agree that such discover
could in no way directly affect the treatmci
of the crown prince or aid in restoring him I
health.
"After the discovery of the cancer bacilli
there might yet remain years of work befoi
the means of destroying it can bo disco
cred , " said ono expert.
Mr. Scheurllo's paper and the dlscussic
following it brought out little beyond win
has already been telegraphed. In twent
caies the bacillus was found between canc (
cells. The specimens were cultivated In seru
taken from human cases of pleurisy und the
injected Into six dogs. The injection yioldc
In two cases , tumors , which proved to conta
the same bacillus. The discussion has ralst
doubts whether this bacillus Is not an ace
ilental product of development or , at leas
the result instead of the cause of thocancc

Doherty was In ought up this morning
Bow street and duly charged with the muni
of Graham. Solicitor Kalpli Kaphiiel a
peared for him. The client looked fearful
nervous , evidently at last appreciating th
"In London , shooting with a revolver , whii
requires the deliberation of drawing , eockii

It is in some parts of America. " I have bei
now quoting what a court official whisper
me. A statement made by Graham , in tl
presence of Doherty was read , the substan
of which has already been cabled to the Hi
aid. The accused was then remanded , ban
cuffed and guarded. Meeting Mr. Haphu
in the corridor of the cells afterward , 1 nski
him if his client would like any statcme
made to his American friends through tl
Herald , "Yes , " he said , "say from convi
wuloii had with him , that 1 feel sure ho has
clear ease and will bo abio to show that tli
rcgrctablo affair which happened while bo
wcro unfortunately under the Influence

1 learned that Pat , Shecdy , who Is a mutu
friend of both Graham and loherty was be
f r by the former nnd entrusted wilh a vc
lial disptCi'lon ' of his affairs.
1 then visited C 'vcrslty ' collcgo hospit

that It wits not advisable to allow cu.y ono

That by his mouth ho retained but not the
othnr. Towards 5 n. in. Sunday , his friends
being still present , ho shook all by the hand
and spoke a few words to them In u low tone
nnd two minutes nfter passed peacefully
away as If going to sleep. His body lies in a
coffin in the mortuary and anyone wishing to
see him can do so. To-morrow the inquest
will probably bo held or , if not , certainly
Wednesday.
I next called upon Father Pcnnlngton , 40
Clarendon square , N , W. , nt a convent near
by. He said : "I have a cable dispatch yes
terday from my friend Father Stewart , of
Hochcstcr , asking mo to take charge of the
funeral to-day. Pat Shccdy called and left
a dispatch ho hud received to-day. It read :
See Father Pennlngton , Clarendon square ,
and ask him to bury my husband and take
charge of his effects until I write.
( Signed. ) Mus. GIIAHAM. "
Acting ui > on those Instructions received I
have ordered a coffin and secured n grave for
five guineas In the best part of Kinsall Green
cemetery and arranged fo the funeral to take
place at 1 p. m , Thursday. The money found
on Graham , which was about $100 , will defray
the cost of the funeral. " On my parting ,
Father Pcnnlngton asked mo to remember
him to his many friends in New York and
Hochester , adding : "I have spent some
happy days with the bishop of the iattei
city. "
Doherty nnd Graham were undoubted ! )
card sports , and the trouble arose In a dis
into over the proceeds. Inasmuch as tin
wife of Doherty , who was In court , cannot
by the English law become a witness foi
Doherty either , the case looks fatal to tin
latter. The trial will take place next month
Doherty's American friends must thcrefori

AVICSTIOUN UNION SIIAUKS.
Gould WimtH Them Quoted on the
London Stock Kxchnnge.
| r jiroilHi7 | / / / /j / ; Jamts dimlon llciintH.\ \
LONDON , Nov. 28. [ New York Ilenih
Cable Special to the , Hii : . ] The following
appears in this evening's issue of the St ,
James Gazette : It is understood in tin
United States and this country that oin
motive of Gould's visit to Kurope was to ob
tain the quotation of Western Union tele
graph shares on the London stock exchange
but the distrust of Mr. Gould is so inveterati
that a strong opposition is offered to the pro
posal. It is quite true the stock exchange
in granting this , does not pass any opinion ate
to the good or bad stock , but still grantini
this a quoting does , as a matter of fact , giv
n kind of status to a stock , and the fecliiij
against Gould is so strong that probably th
committee would not dare disregrad it. Yc
it seems unreasonable that the shares of th
greatest telegraph company in the worli
should bo refused quotation by tin
London stock exchange. A wa ;
out of the difficulty seems easy. Ifiisyndl
cute , such as bought the contract of th
Baltimore & Ohio railway company , were t <
be formed here in London to buy and contro
Western Union shares from Mr. Gould , al
reasons for refusing quotations would disuji
pear. The control of the company woul
pass Irom Gould to a syndicate of great caj
italists who would inspire general confidence
Assurance would bo given to shareholder
that their business would bo properly man
aged and the business community on boll
sides of tlio Atlantic would at the same tiint
feel a confidence that no tampering wit
their messeges would be permitted. Assuir
jug that the earnings really average CJi pe
cent , the purchase , it would seem , could b
made with benefit to all parties. Mr. Gouli
would doubtless accept payment in the -I pe
cent bonds of the company and the purchas
ing syndicate would still have 1) per cent t <
servo as a sinking fund or to represent it
own profit.

Nebraska News.
Neither Itcast Nor Human.
NUIIIIASIJA CITV , Neb. , Nov. .2 $ . [ Special
to the HII : : . ] Two woodehoppcra , John Huff
and Lewis Mnnn , who have been at work on
the bottoms near Peru , for several months ,
wcro in the city last night and related to the
Hut : correspondent a strange story of their
discovery on Friday night of a hideous wild
boy. According to Hurt's story , which was
corroborated by Mann , for some weeks past
their shanty had been frequently entered
during their absence and the greater imrtion
of their oatibles either devoured or carried
,0ft * . At first they blamed several other woodchoppers -
choppers who were camped near by , but their
denial and the frequent repetition of the dep
redations put them at a loss for a solution.
They securely barricaded their hut and the
annoyance ceased. Then their neighbors
begun to complain of the same mysterious
disappearance of their "grub. " A farmei
near by accused the woodehnppcrs of robbing
his hen roost and even said he at ono time at
night had seen ono of the men running nwa.v
from one of his corn cribs on his hands ami
knees.
Last Friday evening , as the men returneil
from work , they discovered that some one
had made ntte mpts to break open tin
door of their hut and tracks in the frcsl :
earth about the place indicated that theii
visitor hud been there very recently. While
Monn remained , Huff went in search of tin
depredator , and having beaten about ii
the brush and undergrowth for mort
than an hour in all directions , was about tt
gixe up his search and return homo when hi
almost , as he says , stumbled over the fern
of the most frightful and hideous lookini
creature that ever met the gaze of humai
eyes , He says the sight for a moment par
alywd anil rooted him to the spot , and nol
until the animal disappeared in the thick un
derbush could he even find voice mid call foi
his companion. Ho describes it as un
doubtedly of human form in face and bodj
but so frightfully deformed as to leave onlj
a faint resemblance. The body , us far us hi
could observe , was entirely naked and blacli
and rough. Tlio head bore a slight resemblance -
semblance to a negro , the eyes almost pro
trading from their sockets , and fangs stood
out from a horribly shaped mouth. Tin
monstrosity in locomotion used its feet am
what were undoubtedly its arms , using tin
portion from the elbows to where the Inindi
should have been , as tore feet.
The two men notified their neighbors am
together they followed the direction taker
by the creature , but gave up the hunt whei
night came on without finding a trace of it
Owing to the thick and entangled brush thej
say its capture is an impossibility unless c
complishcd while it is out in search of food
The cold weather and heavy fall of snow o
last night will undoubtedly drive it out if i
does not freeze or starve to death.
Those living in the neighborhood of tbedls
covery associate it with u colored famil ;
'
named Jacksing who resided in the bottom'
for several years and left sometime las
spring for Kansas. They were known t <
have had n boy of such horrible deformity a :
to bo frightful in its ugliness , and the bo ;
was often known to have disappeared nn <
remained away for weeks at a time to tin
utter indifference of his parents who oftei
expressed the wish that he would never re
turn , and It is believed ho was left behhn
when the family went to Kansas , and tba
this monstrosity and the creature seen bvtln
woodchoppers are identical. Another 'bun
will bo made.

The HaliisharKcr Trial.
MAIWIAM.TOWX , In. , Nov. 2 $ . [ Spceln
Telegram to the.HIK. : ] This was 11 day of
sensations In the Halnsbarger trial. Early in
tlio day John Bunyer , the victim of then-cent
shootllig , hobbled in on tlie arm of a deputy.
His direct evidence was of an ordinary ehar-
aetcr , but Judge Cole , who leads for the de
fense , fell Into tluj trap set by tho'proseeu-
tiou and on cross-examination tried to make
Itunyer admit that lie had shot the horse and
himself , but failed signally.
.lack Heed , a noted outlaw and horse
thief , who was recently sentenced to
his third term in the Iowa penitentiary ,
created a sensation when brought into court
today. He testilled that Kate Huinsbargor
invited him to his house in August , 1SS4 ,
where ho remained two weeks , and Halns-
barger unfolded to him a scheme for fraudu
lently obtaining $7,000 , of insurance money by
kidnapping Johnson , nnd , if the latter re
sisted , the plan Was to kill him.
Walbridgo Wesen , of Steamboat Hook , tes
tified to having overheard threats made by
Frank and Nate Kainsbargcr , the gist of
which was to get the "Old Devil" Johnson
out of the way.
The evidence ngainst Kalnsbargcr , while
chiefly circumstantial , is much stronger than
it was on the former trial , when he was con
victed.

Niw : York , Nov. US. [ Special Telegram to
the HIM : . ] In a letter to the World , Evan P.
Itowell , one of the editors of the Atlanta
Constitution , and an unti-prolilbitloiitst ,
says of the election Saturday : "Tlio largo
majority given for anti-prohibition was not
only a protest against the law , but against
Lhe strife and bitterness engendered in the
ilrst campaign. I am certain that the con-
bcrvalivo men on both sides will come to
gether and throw around the retail sale of
liquor all necessary restraints , nnd that it
will be better for the city. There is 11
strong frcllng hero among leading men to
settle nil further disputes on this line1. Tlio
decided majority given against prohibition ,
and the further fact that a majority was
given in every ward in the city , and every
precinct in the county , except one , shows
that the people were opposed to the present
law without regard to class or condition. "
Henry W. Grady , who has been espousing
the prohibition cause in tlio Constitution ,
writes : "Prohibition was not beaten on its
merits. The law was too extreme , it being
impossible to get even medical or sacra
mental wine without violating It. Its ad
ministration has been often unwiseA con
ference will bu held to-morrow to devise a
plan upon which the people can unite. Not
the slightest , ill-feeling survives the contest.

GiniSTKU'S FAILURE.
Her Voice Fails and She Loaves the
Stage Temporarily.
Nr.w YOIIK , Nov. 2S. [ Special Telegram to

ers of Etclka Gorstor , from New York to
San Francisco , will regret to learn that she
has been compelled to abandon her projected
concert tour owing to the breaking down of
her voice. The failure foreshadowed at her
recent New York appearance was empha
sized at New Haven on Saturday night , and
by her request all her dates with Mr. Abbey
extending to San Francisco for the middle
of February , have been cancelled. She will
rest for a month in the hope that the trouble
is only temporary , and she will then make a
test of , bcr ability to reappear in public ,
Meanwhile Abboy's engagement with other
members of the company will bo curried out ,
Gerster's misfortune has cast a gloom ovei
musical circles. She Is not much over thirty
years old , and no tangible cause has been as
signed for the failure of her voice. It is be
lieved. however , that it arises from nervous
ness rather than from any specific difficulty
with the voice itself. Abbey said last evening -
ing that she can still sing with her natural
strength and sweetness in a room where she
is surrounded by only a few friends , but the
moment she approaches tlio glare of the footlights /
lights her courage fails her and she entirely
loses command of her voice.

Democrats Badly Muddled. _
'WASIIIXHTOX , Nov. 2 $ . [ Special Telegram
to the Hr.i : . ] The chief topic of discussion
among senators and representatives' , who
have arrived In Washington Is the surplus
rcvenuoiind tho'means to bo adopted to dis
pose of it. Democrats who control the house
seem to be as badly muddled ns theywero
two years ago. They are agreed on 'ono
thing , namely , "that something must bo donate
to save the party" next year , for it Is notice
able that the more they consider the result of
the late election the less confident do they
feel of success. The iuost that any of them
hope for Is to pass some kind of revenue bill
which will bo " good-etiough-Morgan" until
after the presidential election. The recom
mendation of the president and secretary
of tlio treasury will bo framed with
that end in view , and the former will
sign any maho-shlft measure which may
be sent to him for his approval. .It Is settled
that Carlisle is.to bo re-elected speaker and
that Mills is to bo chairman of the ways and
means committee. Mills is n sincere and
earnest free trader , between whom and Kan-
dull there exists the most bitter antagonism.
Springer and some other democrats expeot
that the report of the secretary of the treas
ury will be accompanied by a draft of a bill
to reduce the revenues & > lHXHHor , * HH,0H- )
IKX ) a year , among provisions of which will bo
repeal of the internal taxes on tobacco , radi
cal reduction of duties on metals , pottery and
earthenware , cotton 'and woolen goods and _
the transfer of several hundred articles , in
cluding salt , lumber and wool , from the duti
able list to the free list. Senator MePhersoii.
is certain that "something must btdone ! , " iul
ho says : "For myself K would favor a
bill taking olT the tax on tobacco and making
the balance of the reduction on other article *
on the tarift schedules. New Jersey is
protection state and the democrats can't af
ford to advocate free trade or any sweeping
tariff reductions without losing her vote ' , and
they will need that vote , for I can't see' how
a democratic victory is to be figured up with
out New Jersey anil Connecticut. Tlio re
duction advocated must bo moderate , nnd
above all must not reduce the wages of work-
ingmen. Any tariff bill that does that 1 shall
oppose. "
Randall agrees in the main with Senator
MoPhorson , although ho would cutalittlo
deeper into the Internal revenue and would
transfer to the free list only lumber in thorough
rough , Jute butts , bristles , and perhapa two
or three other articles. Mr. Carlisle
wants to enlarge tlio free list by
the transfer tllcreto of "raw material"
Including wool , so us to reduce the yearly
revenue from customs about $ , " > 0KH,000 ( ) , and
favors the repeal of the internal taxes on
tobacco to the extent of some . * 18 , < KKXX ) , ( ) a
year. Senator Sherman favors the revival
of the distribution act of 1 Sit" , by which the
surplus could bo distributed to the states
upon the basis of population and Internal im
provements. The abolition of the tobacco
tax , free sugar , and ji bounty to sugar
makers would not do it. Ho thinks the que - '
tion of reducing the surplus , will come upt
with the tariff , and that the senate will bring'
in a now bill when it receives the work of Urn
house.

tary of state , as well as the governor. Ho
does not understand that Tur lie's certillcata'
contains these signatures , making a complete'
