The growing bitterness between Franco
nnd Italy Is not likely to bo mooted away by
KIgnor Crispi's latest feats of diplomacy
Fired by the example of his master , BIs-
inurck , the Italian premier lias blossomed
/ out in the character of a crude , frank , plaln-
npeaking statesman who scorns his political
hand , Long practice and genius makes the
part easy enough for the Iron Chancellor to
play , but it hardly fits Crispl , who Is a novice
jittlio business. His clrculai s on the Mnssownh
question nro full of gall and perilous rccrlm
limtlon. Crispl can't forgot or forgive the
French abolition of the capitulation of Tunis
nnd takes great pains to asslinlluto that act
whh his own cool usurpation of supreme
judicial authority of the Red sea port. So
far Franco has not admitted the claim and
lias approved the refusal of the French-
Creek subjects to pay taxes to
the Italians in Massowah. To yield
would , of course , bo to acknowledge
the right of Italy to grab Massowah. Before

The strike of the Paris "navvies" which
began a few days since has spread until now
1'J.OOO hands are idle and buildin g through

The navvies or torrassiers , as hero called ,
liavo very definite plans. They seem to obey

tinuutcd by n Paris paper the other night
that the ringleaders of the strike nro taking
bribes from Germany , but this seems non-
tense. If the strikers have foreign
prompters they are far more likely to
lo In Belgium. The aims nnd reasons
the navvies' strike may bo gathered
from an interview with JulTran. "At pros-

then several bosses have offered to
tabu back the men on those terms and
the offers have been rejected. The navvies
now hold out for 0 franks and u working day

The first international tuberculosis congress
raid
gress on record has just Broken up a marked
new departure in medical science. Close
ser
upon Hvo hundred doctors from every quor
rr
tor of thu world huvo been discussing tuberculosis
r311
culosis for a week and , strungo to say , or
leading points , were practically unanimous
The central lessons all teach nro , boll youi
milk -.veil , huvo your meat well cooked
d.ig
Alter the congress I interviewed the leadlnp
niHtcra ) beginning with the president , Dr
Ir.n
Chouvcuu , a big masterful old gentleman
with u handsome likeness to the eldci
"Tho subject Is Vast , " said he , "but pu
your questions. "
"Well , " said I , "what now fact has beet
revealed ut the congress ! Have wo comi
pity nearer fo curing tuberculosis ! "
1 Little absolutely new is revealed I , '
replied Chouveau , "but many thread
of valuable knowledge have been gathers
up. Much has been made certain that wa '
uncertain. Ono of the most rcmarkabl
fu ts to rcc til in the virtual uuamlty of congress
gross in r.dmittin tiio contagious nature of
tubcrcDlosls. and the possibility of Its transmission -
mission from human beings to animals or
vice versa. I believe , Indeed , the only doctor j
who disputed the point of the practical Idenn
tlty of tubcrclosls 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.
Ho might have said with Drs. Vlllemln
and Veronall , that ho had done almost
everything.
"Having established so much , " continued
the doctor , "wo next came to the con
clusion that , though hereditary may ,
In many instances , explain consumption ,
in an immense number of cases , the most in
tcrcstlnif , of tubcrclosls , namely consump
tion , Is traceable to diseased milk or meat.
Our great enemy Is the cow. Of her brother ,
the ox , the great proventatlvo is to boil your
milk thoroughly and cat your meat well
dono. It Is qulto a mistake to imagine
that drinking blood or eating raw meat
Is good oven in nmicnm. The
case of u lady , Indeed , Is
quoted who died in six months from con
sumption , simply through drinking blood
taken from a magnificent prize ox , which
had traces of tuberculosis. Boiling milk or
cooking picat thoroughly docs not do-
slroy the qualities of either , though
it may make both less digcstable.
The meatof tuberculosis is not always viru
lent. The Indeed the proportion of cases
which will bo affected Is , Judging from many
experiments wo have made on Guinea pigs ,
about two to ten. Of course , too , all human
beings uro not equally liable to ect the dis
ease. The llrst great practical result of the
congress was the publication of a decree as
similating tuberculosis to other diseases which
justify the seizure and destruction of cattle
bjjtho meat Inspectors. Pigs gettubercuosis ,
by-the-bye , but they seldom die. I must con
fess the congrcs s was weaK , New Ideas and
subjects were conspicuously rare , but ono
authority , M. From ! , read un interesting
paper , showing that in one-quarter of the
cases treated at certain sanitariums ,
cures were obtained. The patients
were shut up in n 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 , "tho possibility of
forbidding the marriage of consumptives was
raised In passing , but wo are not ready for
such u radical step as that. The congress
has done an immense service. The doctors
nro making great strides In the study of
tuberculosis. "
Dr. Peter , secretary' the congress ,
agreed with these views and spoke enthusi
astically of the progress of the congress.
About ono hundred of the 450 members are
foreigners , ho said , from both the old and
new worlds. "Tho first thing I learned at
congress , " ho added , "was the importance of
pure milk. Only keep to that rule and ono
of the great causes of tuberculosis will van
ish. Another valuable lesson learned
is , consumptives should not shut them
selves in stuffy rooms or sleep with
windows closed and lighted flrcs , wrapping
themselves up If necessary to avoid the chill.
Then , wo huvo now settled that the disease
is contagious. These results wo owe Jlrst to
Villemin , next to Chauveau , thirdly to Koch ,
who discovered the Bacillus by which tuber
culosis is transmitted. The importance of
the congress may bo guessed when I toll you
the cases of tuberculosis had increased nearly
2o 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 n whole
hour to a description of the subject with mo.
"Toll mo the result of the congress , "
said I.
"Ono serious scientific result , " replied
VHlomln "has been the
, bringing to
gether of so many doctors and help
ing them to know to what point
medical science had reached , what wns new
In their own researches and what was old.
The papers read may not have been alto
gether novel , but for the nrst tlmo they
directed the attention of the public to the
chief causes of tuberculosis. By tubercu
losis , inlnd , wo mean not alone
consumption , but the various other
forms of the same disease meningitis ,
humors , scofula , and even peritonitis. These
nro now admitted to bo tuberculosis. The
disease Is very communicable. How !
Through the digestive organs or blood , by
Inhalation or inoculation , or by the germs ob
tained in the saliva. For Instance , wo have
inoculated n number of cows , rabbits and
guinea pigs with scraps of saliva. Many
took the disease and died with thn same
symptoms ns human beings. Men and
women nro constantly giving tuberculosis to
cattle and getting It back through meat and
milk. This Is how many happen to bo con
sumptive who are engaged in the dairy.
They cough and spit on a bundle of hay and
the cow cats the hay and gets
,
the disease. The cow is milked
and some drink It and are
apt to take the disease she gets consumption.
i.J
Many strong people , of course , escape , aud ,
- in a general way , the stronger the general
- health and constitution , the less likely Is tno
10r
person to got the Infection , but the proportion
ro.
tion likely to get consumption is very largo.
o.Id
Over one-fifth of the population of the world
dies of tuberculosis. In Franco alone 100,000
yearly perish. "
. "Is consumption hereditary 1"
, "Woll , oyrfntons ore very much divided.
d.ut
Many have come to ISinU it is nothing but
acquired weakness makes soin ? aptcr to
catch it than others. These base their theory
on the rarity of cases of infant tuberculosis ,
I myself am inclined to think s.it
may sometimes bo inherited. The
danger of the contagion of saliva
" is a great point to guard against > ,
especially in the case of poor people that lathe
ism
the rast majority. Deaths by consumption
are very common in the barracks and in all
confined unhealthy places thomort all ty result -
ing is unusually largo. For cxample.amone
those line fellows , the gardes republicsues ! ,
who spend a longer tlmo than
the troops in the barracks.
Yes , undoubtedly , tuberculosis , mid baccllus ,
nro now known to bo an agent In transmit
ting disease. All prcvcntatlvo Inoculation
Is , so far , Ufcolcss. Wo cannot destroy tu
berculosis by tuberculosis. What wo need
Is some agent that kills baccilus. My son is
now making experiments in that direction. "
"Is there n cure for consumption ! " contin
ued Villemin. "Various cures have been sug
gested but the most nro merely palliatives.
Yet , I don't say the disease Is Incurable.
There Is hope In open air health resorts , such
as you have in America. Got into perfectly
puionlr , away from towns or oven villages ,
on some height , live In the air night and day.
The revivifying and oven ctiratlvo values of
this treatment nro wonderful. Excision of
the diseased parts is useless , n the malady
Is In the blood and crops out again in another
place. "
TWENTY IjlVKrl LOST.
The Terrible ? Ilucord or the Bowery
Toncinc'iit Kin * .
Nr.vv YOIIK , August 4. The Ilrcmen at
work in the ruins of the Bowery tenement
house fire recovered another bodv , that of n
woman , probably Minnie Moyei son , a tailor-
ess , in the ruins of the burned building. The
flesh was burned to a crisp and the identity
of the woman can at b st only bo guessed at.
Later two moio bodies , app.uvntly of men ,
were dug out , making twenty dead In all ,
and the search is ended. All that were iu the
ruins have been found. One of the bodies had
so entirely lost all semblance of human shape
as to bo mistaken for a roll of burnt cloth.
The tbrco bodies were removed to the
morgue. The police guarded the ruins to
day and kept back the curious crowds.
Abraham Stern , the owner of the binned
building , will bury the dead ut his own ex
pense , inquiries were made of the police
this morning for Abrohn Schroder and Reu
ben Levlne. who are missing. The men were
wonting in the building and were supposed
to bo among the unrecognized dead.
Shortly after noon another body was found
in the building. It was that of a man. but
was unrecognizable. Among the bodies rec
ognized at the morgue to clay wns that of
Jennie Marks , fifteen years old , a tnllorcss.
Ono of the bodies taken from the ruins this
morning was identified as that of Adele
Swift. Surah A. Drum , another victim of
the fire , died this morning. That makes sev
enteen bodies now in the morgue. Ten bodies
ies remain unidentified , but later one of
these was recoiniizod as that of Jacob Fcni-
berg. Three other victims now in the hospi
tal will retovcr. At noon another body wns
taken to the morgue.

Great is the Interest in Germany as to
where England comes in in all the visiting.
Many are the hopi-s expressed that nho will
be treated according to her iii'jjont strength
and not according to her past fame. Two
kings and one e/ar have already been visited
by this party , and two more kings Belgium
and Portugal arc to coruo to Germany. A

Is Ignored and politically Isolated. Usually

Politically Germany seems to bo on the
brink of new war scares. The North Gor
man Gazette , for Instance , says , regardiutr
some Germans who were maltreated iu
France : ' 'This shows that our neighbor is
an uncivilized state. Visitors to such barbar
ians should reflect whether the disagreeable
features of their journey will not outweigh
their pleasures.1 Prussia , too , seems to risk

purposes of piling up a suiplus which is al

vigorous complaints ire made , but noono yet

silent secrecy with which this Miiplus has
been accumulated. |
There have been' recently in Germany n
number of queer accidents. At Munich , for
instance , the stampede of four elephants
through the crowded sticets during a great
procession , is Boiv.uthlng new in the way of
accidents. The elephants charged through
the crowd lining the btiects , upsetting nnd
trampling upon a do/en people. Scared
originally by the. ole m fiom a locomotive in
the procession , the beasts bcrnmo frantic
with terror at the shrieks of the people
ple all mound them , and at the um
brella thrusts and knlfo cuts they received in
tramping through the crowd. Near Freini-
reppo , Ihe crowd was caught in a corner and
compressed , partly fiom fear and paitly by
actual contact with the elephants , almost to
suffocation. Then they battered down the
.
doors of the mint , but quickly came out of
that building ngum. In Hclligegoist street
they upset n cab at the Cafe Heck and scared
a man , who swung himself up on a big chan di
delier , which broke and nearly caused
n tremendous gas explosion. Finally , in
Buum street , they battered down the doors
of n small house , and , getting inside ,
wrecked the whole ground floor , while the
people were on the roof proi Ing and shriek
ing. Ono elephant attempted to go up stairs ,
but broke through with a crash , which
nearly caused the people on the roof to jump
off. At lost the elephant tnmcr got control
of the animals , and after hours of hard work
they wore gotten out of the house through a
hole in the wall.
Ono specialist in crime recently raked in
almost enough money to bo spoken of as a
financier. On a single night ho broke into
most of the automatic boxes around town
and stole their contents in money and rua-
terlul. Ono box was known to have con-
tained 43 marks , so , presumably , ho did a
good business.

curred on this morning's west-bound passon-
cor train near Hock Creek station. A pas
senger named Hudson Arnold was observed
as the train was leaving Cheyenne nt 5
o'clock this morning to bo evidently laboring
under Intense excitement. As the train pro
ceeded westward and the altitude increased
his nervousness and excitement Increased.
When thn train was near Kock Creek station
Arnold walked Into the sleeping car "Oporto"
and without : t word of warning drew a re
volver from his pocket and shot the negro
porter In charge of the car , killing him In
stantly. Arnold was immediately disarmed
and secured. Ho was evidently insane.
When the trnin i cached Knwlins Arnold was
placed in charge of n deputy nhcrilT and sent
back to Laramlo and lodged in jail. The name
of the unfortunate porter could not bo

OlifcctioiiH to the Treaty.
SixniNi HOCK Armscr , August 4. A
council was held to day. The only objec

the government has not observed the former
treaty , that the boundaries of the present
reservation are not what the government
promised , and that 50 cents per aero is not
enough. They object to the Santccs
and Poncas having any voice in
the treaty. They say that nbout
half of thn land to bo coded is worthless and
cannot bo sold. The commissioners nro

think and act for themselves. Yesterday ,
aftcr _ adjournment , the Indians were seen In
groups discussing the questions involved ,
and in the evening Sitting Hull made social
call on the commissioners. The commis

cage Is referred to at length. The complaint

"And your petitioner submits that rotes
established by eastern and western lines on
a basis of Chicago and Chicago rates nhould
bo upon n line drawn substantially south

Cnicioo , August 4.-T. A. Whittmorc , as
sistant traffic manager of the Chicago , St.
Paul & Kansas City road , in notifying Chair
man Fuithorn of the opening of that line
from Chicago and St. Paul to St. Joseph ,
Mo. , announced a reduction of rates to meet
the compotlon of the Hock Island. Ho

roads recently reduced rates between the St.
Paul , Minneapolis and Minnesota transfer
on the ono hand aud southwestern Missouri
river , points , Including St. Joseph , on the
other , making rates on third class freights

A * , r. .
Himi.v , Aug. 4. William's monarchlal Itin
cracy since his Interview with Prince Bis
marck atFriedeilchsruho has been modified
In most important directions. It was sup
posed that the emperor , in accordance with
family arrangements , would pay his re
spects to the queen of England during
her projected stay nt Baden. The queen ,
however , intimated through the Gorman
embassy nt London that she did Hot Intend
to go to Baden or any other plaeo on the con
tinent. Yesterday a formal note was sent J
by Prince Bismarck through the embassy ,
asking the queen to receive Emperor Will
iam , Who 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 bo a state aud not
a family affair , and the queen must meet him
In London or at Windsor.
The foreign ofllco officials believe that
Prince Bismarck Intends to
accompany Em
peror William to England for the purpose of
conferring with the queen on affairs relutlng
to the late Emperor Frederick. The pope f'l
has been asked if the cmpeior goes to ' ' ( ' ]
the Vatican nnd remains ns n guest
of the pope for n day prior to his reception a
the qulrinul , whether lie will withdraw hii
objections. Mngr. Gnlimbcrti Is understood '
to have replied that the pope must maintain
his temporal rights. The nuncio continues
to urge the emperor to forego his visit to
King Humbert , ' unless the meeting takes
place at Milan or Murln.
Continuous arrests have occurred since
Thursday morning of suspected socialists in
Berlin , Hamburg , Leipsic , Frankfort and
every center. They nro supposed to bo asso
ciated with an anarchist plot in Vienna for a
simultaneous attempt to rob postoniccs and
bunks in Austria and Houthern Ger
many. The Berlin police bureau have
avoided arresting the leading social
ists , but under communications
from Vienna nro shadowing Austrian
anarchists. An imperial Austrian decree ,
signed by the whole cabinet , suspends trial
by jury in charges against anarchists
throughout five provinces. The decree Is to
remain in force for ono year. It empowers
without a judicial warrant , the arrest , im
prisonment and execution , not only of soci
alists , but persons sheltering suspects.
It forbids the sale , possession or manufac
ture of arms and ammunition and prohibits
public meetings or assembling of crowds ;
authorizes the police to make domiciliary
visits nnd to search newspaper ofllcos and
take summary measures regarding editors ,
nnd imposes stringent rules respecting pass
ports on the ariivuland departure of foreign
ers. Arbitrary as the decree appears , It Is
forced upon the government by anarchist
conspiracies. It Is bused upon the discovery
of extensive preparations to try to capture -
the government offices in which money is
stored , and which are the least protected. JI
The Austrian socialists hold constant intercourse - ' | |
course with the anarchists in Franco , Eng
land , Swit/orland and America.
King Milan of Scrvlawith the crown prluco ,
arrived nt Vienna to-day. Ho wires hero to
say that ho will remain iu Vienna until tomorrow -
morrow night , when ho takes the crown
prince to some place in southern Bavaria.
Thn king himself goes hunting with the
prince regent.
A band of masked anarchists attacked the
postonicc at Nankassol , near Prcssburg. The
ofllulals fought and repulsed the robbers
but the latter secured the cash box , taking
that and their wounded away with them.
There have been tremendous ruins in the
HIseiife'cblrgo district. The rivers are greatly
swollen , the water being in some plncos six
feet higher than ever before known. The
town of Hirschbcrg nnd many villages nro
under water.
