at a spcclul mootlug of the medical faculty ,

huvo been so successful I was lot into
into ' the secret by ono ot the many

ready to accord the primour of tbolr discov-
cry to the Herald la recognition of its aril
clos from Spain about cholera innoculutlons
and j from Vera Cruz about the porouospora
lutea of velloyv fever
"Wo eamo upon the trace of the baccllll

1 titioner who thought that his

Examining the urlno microscopically wo
discovered , u baclllius which , owing to the
poculiur | cjssocK formitiou of thu head , wo
cilled ( the ' bishop of bacilli It was a
baeillius wo had never scon before , nor had
it j ever been signalled by any bjctoriolomst
Wo immediately set to work with the yvholo
stiff upon the examination of the urine ot
influenza patients in the general hispitul
and iu piivato practice , and in
every case bishop bacilli wore
found in great numbers , while in the oxecro
tlons from various other maladies examined
ut ttio same tlmo the bicllli could not bo
found This wo aid to avoid the argument
brought agatnet the Mexican doctor , Cordo
via , to tbo effect that poronospora lutoa is
found in the blood of all who die in certain
seasons at Vera Cruz , whether jolloyv fever
bo prevalent or not
' } he doctor then introduced mo into
a laboratory where iu inserted glass
tubes the bacilli were Hcon at rest and where
tbo cultivation of the bacilli was in success
ful pi ogress •
' 'As Bee " said the doctor "
„ you , , they resemble -
somblo in no way the cholera microbe , but
have many points of resemblance with the
bacilli of pneumonia , discovered by Dr
Frlodlander "
I then carefully oxamincd the bacilli in the
glass tubes stopped with cotton nnd half full
of gelatine On top of the gelatine X no
ticedwhat with tjo naked eye lee iced like
a milky vvhito spot , round in
form With a microseopo I saw
a small animalcules , elliptic in form and
sharply defined 1 bo ereut majority were
j ollow in color , but in the largest and oldest
tbo cassock-sbapod heads wore dark blue
They wore lying parallel and very close to
each ether Then the doctor showed men
tube containing Asiatlo cholera microbes
which looked like fine cotton threads , nnd
differed iu every way from the influenza
bacilli As seen through a microscope the
cholera microbe resomblcs an infinitesimal
"I hope , " said the doctor , that the Her
ald will accentuate the absolute difference in
form and nature between the two animal
culao because it is 3tlll popularly believed
that infuenzalsa forerunner of cholera ,
which belief , I think , we have scientifically
disposed of now On the other hand , tha in
fluenza bicllli and tbo pneumonia bacilli1 are
undoubtedly of the same family and annl-
ugous "
Then I was shown the bacilli of pneu
monia , discovered ana cultivated by Or
rrlodlundor , Thov were less brilliant , less
yellow hi color , and not nearly so elliptic 1
in term and also much larger , with beads
quite as clerical looking as the Influenza i
baclllius In the case of the Influenza bacilli I
ono tlooi not sea the cuzeous bubbles to bo
soon in gelatine , in which the pneumonia
bacilli are cultivated Looking aiound at ;
this point I noticed various sized Jars re-
sombllng those in which last spring two of
M. Pasteur's talented assistants endeavored

at the practical side of the diseoveiy Whoa
will you begin vaccination , or rather Innocu-

Well , I have no idea , but would not like i
to think tbat the happy process is postpouoa
very long Had you not noticed tbo prepa
rations I would not huvo spoken of our attempts -
tempts at all , us up to the present they have
not boon vet y satisfactory Wo have bred
the bacilli and attenuated substantially the

thrco i governments thereon ciuiu into hir
monj j thu result Is in the main ciiliiely
iu ! accord with the instructions undoi which
tbo American plenipotentiaries actcu
It is proper to observe that the matters in

difficult i were the lostoratlon of the status
quo i the formation of n sUclo government
without n prcpondcicncu of inlluuiice
on i the pnit of any of the treaty power * and
the raising of rovetiuo for tlio uiiliilcnuncu
of ' thnt government
As to the Ilrst of thesn points the chief ob
stuclo to the unqualified rcticwil of tlio
st itus was found in the reluctance of Gcr
many to admit such a situation as would nj-
peat ! to leave Mat tufa , against whom she
had declared war , eligible for the free eholco
ot ' the natives us king It is conll-
dentlj believed that thesa difficulties
are removed , and thu Samoans themselves
lu thu cuirciso of the freedom which they
nro to continue to enjoy nppenr to hive
effected a practical solution of tlio mutter ,
On the second point the danger of a pre
ponderuthig Inlluonce ou the n irt of uul ono
of the three poyyers Is obviated by taking tha
chief foreign advisor and Judge from u

The revenue question has been adjusted
witn duo regcud to the limited icsourccs of

In conclusion the secretari expresses the
hope that the act may bo conducive to tbo
