The democratic national committco is hunting for a chairman. The position has boon tendered to and declined by Senator Gorman. Heprescntativo Scotland General Calvin S.

A resolution to print extra copies of the report of the eom- miUeo on pensions In the cases of vetoed pension bills was the text for some polllical discussion , Mr. Cockrcll desiring to have the list ot pension vetoes printed among other vetoes.

In the house to-day Mr. Ford of Michigan , from the committee on military affairs , reported back the resolu tion for the appointment of a special commit tee to investigate the alleged evasions of the contract labor law.

The house then went into committee- the whole on the tariff bill , the agreement be ing that no vote bo taken on the pending wool schedule to-day. Mr. Pugslejy of Ohio said that the duty on wool should bo increased instead of reduced. Mr. Morse of Massachusetts favored plac ing wool upon the free list. Mr Caswellof Wisconsin protested against free wool ns having the effect of destroying llio sheep raising industry in his state. Mr. Hoothman of Ohio said that the plac ing of wool on the free list struck a deadly blow nt one of Iho industries in his district.

[ New York Herald Cable Special to THE UIB. : ] Prof. Uerg- nann eloes not desire to enter into the news- mper warfare which Sir Morrcll Mackenzie .ins . smarted. He isontiro'y conlldcnt of Iho crushing effect of Iho recently issued im- > crial blue book contain ing si scathing criti cism of Mackenzie's method by all the greatest throat specialists of the two crn- ) Ircs , and which bus proved to bo unanswer able except by mysterious threats iounded on unproduccablc , non-existent state secrets. S'evertheless , Dr. Hcrgmnnn authorizes me .0 give the following emphatic statements as coming from him : "All the German physicians were on the Oth of May , 1S& " , agreed as to the necessity 'or the comparative safety of the prineo of the throat operation. After such operations nany cases are known of recovery , and sev eral of long life one living twenty years afterwards. Mackenzie's confident state- ncnt that ho could certainly cure the patient within six weeks prevented the operation. I am confident that Mackenzie then honestly iiolloyed that the disease was not cancer , but , led nway by am bition , determined to take the patient to England , nway from tbo other doctors , ind thus pet exclusive credit for the cure. I believe ilrmly that on the Isle of Wight , in July , Mackenzie became convinced that the disease was cancer , but lacked the moral courage to confess his error and deliver the pitient back to the other doctors. His fool ish ambition to so isolate the royal patient as to gain exclusive credit for the euro ami his criminal lack ot moral courage , combined , make him responsible for the emperor's death. Ueing unable to obtain any authentic information from Mackenzie , and having en tered a strong protest , the Gorman physicians ceased to have any responsibility for the fu ture. When the crown prince reached San Ucmo it was already too late for the opera tion. Mackenzie Is a weak character , easily swayed backward and forward by conflict ing interests. I bc'lievo he used every means to save his reputation from the great error he had made. He has completely lost his reputation and place as a scientist , nnd I would not accept his word about any matter , great or small , if It affected his reputation. " Dr. Hergmann then laughed a little over some stories illustrating this last point , nnd dismissed the subject with an expression showing utter contempt for any physician capable of sacrificing even the humblest patient rather than acknowledge his mistake In the diagnosis of the disease. German I'TCKH Comment * ! . Unni.ix , July 18. The excitement created throughout Germany by the reports of the German doctors w'uo attended the Into Emperor poror Frederick is intense and their critl cisms of Dr. Mackenzie's conduct of the case form almost the solo topic of couycrs.i tlon. The KreuXeitinig , in Its comments on the reports , overwhelms Dr. Mackenzie with invectives. To the question why the German doctors did not attempt to save the royal patient from Dr. Mackenzie the National Zcilung reports that according to Prussian principles their olllcial i > osition In the tragidy provcnlod them from making an appeal to the public , but they did appeal to Em peror William while the sick man was at San Ucmo , and ono ot their number stated the case to him without reserve. His majesty was deeply distressed by the recital of the circumstances , but answered : "My son is llfty-six years ol ago , und the right of final decision regarding his medical treatment cannot bo takeU from him , " The progressist Journals , which are Inclined to defend Dr. Mackenzie , point to tlio fad that there were eight doctors concerned .In the case who cld ] pot sign the reports crit- Dr. Mackenzie.
