RESULT OF CHICAGO EXPERIMENT
Positive Declaration From Dr. Pratt
and Wlrtatmaa Effect on Other
Oerml More Testa.
Chicago, April 18. Consumption is
dead.. Dipt.heria -was killed ' outright
Typhoid was annihilated. Cholera has
been stunned for 14 days. Pneumonia
was barely able to resume its work
Anthrax and glanders eecaped with ser
ions injury. Influenza missed slaughter
by its position under the tube.
This is the bulletin from the labora
tory of Professors Pratt and Wightman
who announced to the world that the
Roentgen rav is the cure for theee dis
eases.
The last and final efforts to revive the
expired colonies of germs' have left four
stone-dead. The investigators made
this positive 'declaration. They claim
that every possible scientific precaution
was taken, that there might be no pos
sible reason for their own deception
They are convinced of the success of the
first experiment with the bacilli in test
tubes.
They started yesterday morning in the
laboratory a new series of trials, which
they insist will prove or disprove the
possible use of the discovery in actual
practice.
SAW TUB DEVIL.
Watchers at an Infidel' Bedside
Overcome.
Minneapolis, April 18. A special to
the Tribune from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
says : ' '
The town of Quapelle, near Winni
peg, is much excited over a remarkable
incident, more so because all the parties
connected therewith are quite promin
ent. These are the facts :
An infidel at Quapelle was dying, and
two well-known men of that place were
watching at the bedside.' Suddenly
those in the adjoining room heard i
piercing cry, and rushing into the sick
room, found tne two watchers insensi
ble and the infidel dead. The ' men
have never since been able to speak of
what thev saw, and cannot refer to the
matter. One of them is not expected to
live. It is believed there that they saw
the evil one.
M'KINLET SATISFIED.
Pleased With the Result of the Oregon
Conventions.
Washington, April 19. Governor Mc
Kinley has written to some of his Ore
gon friends in Washington that the re
sult of the Oregon conventions was
especially gratifying to him, not only
became the delegates were elected for
him, but because it starts the ball roll
ing on the Pacific coast, and because the
influence which it will have upon the
other conventions to be held on the
coast will no doubt be m the same direc
tion. Governor McKinley has no warm
er supporters in congress than are to be
found in the Oregon delegation. In
spite of the senatorial sentiment, which
is almost wholly for Allison, the Oregon
senators are for the Ohio man with un
doubted loyalty. And in the house,
where the sentiment is no doubt very
strong for Reed, the Oregon representa
tives are most favorably inclined toward
Major McKinley.
Tne information which reaches Wash
ington is that the rest of the coast will
no doubt follow the lead of Oregon and
send McKinley delegations.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA
Spain is to Establish This
Shortly.
STATE DEPARTMENT SO NOTIFIED
Will Be Realised by the Time the Span
ish Cortea Assembles How Home
Rnle Will Be Scoured.
' Washington, April 20. The Spanish
government within a few weeks will put
into execution a comprehensive system
of home rule or autonomy for Cuba.
There is good reason to believe that the
state department has received from
Madrid information to this effect.
The law which will be put into effect
was signed by the queen regent March
15, 1895, and will be followed up by the
rules and regulations developing the
present scheme of reforms. By the
time the queen regent makes her ad
dress to the Spanish cortes, which as
sembles in one month, the law will be
promulgated throughout Cuba, and the
long-expected home rule will be realized.
The element of home rule is secured
by the establishment of two local bodies
drawn largely, if not entirely, from the
residents of Cuba. One of these is to be
known as the provincial chamber of dep
uties, the other as the council of admin
istration. The latter has appellate juris
diction over the former. Large powers
are granted the council of administration
in the internal management of public
affairs, but the governor will continue as
the eupreme representative of Spain
and will haw direct charge of military.
naval and international questions.
CHINA'S POSSIBILITIES.
She la on the Eve of a Great Internal
Change.
Chicago, April 20. M. R. Jefferds, a
civil engineer, widely known through bis
connection, with "railway construction
and equipment in this and other conn
tries, recently returned from a prolonged
absence in the Orient.
To a reporter he said : "The result of
my visit in Chicago on my trip from
China to New York has been the forma
tion of a syndicate for the purpose of
establishing an American-Chinese chain
ber of commerce for the introduction of
American goods and wares at Shanghai
Reciprocal relations can thus be estab
Iished to the benefit of both nations.
"George S. Bowens, an old citizen of
Chicago, has been chosen president of
the organization. J. Ensign Fuller, well
known among Eastern manufacturers,
has been chosen as manager for the
United States. W. R. Townsend, of
San Francisco , who is thoroughly in
touch with the manufacturers of the Pa
cific slope, and Fung Wong an attache
of the Chinese legation in England, and
who was hero with me last summer, are
to be the managers in China. James
Detrick, formerly superintenent of the
Southern Pacific railroad, is to be the
superintendent of construction and ex
hibits.
"I do not believe that China would
naturally become a great or even a mod
erate manufacturing ountry, because
their tastes do not run that way , they may
be forced into manufacturing and pro
ducing things that they have heretofore
bought from Europe and America, on
account of the great difference that now
exists in exchange under the present
monetary laws of the United States.
'The industry of the Chinese, like
that of the savage, is simple, while
ours is a product and a result of 'high
modern civilization. It has been truly
said that no other country can profit so
much by diversified industry as the
United States, for uo other country has
such varied natural resources. There is
a vast field of commercial enterprise foj
us in China aDd the Orient, which is
now being opened and, practically, un
impeded. ...
"United States Consul-General Jerni-
gan,oneot the beet representatives in
China, recently wrote me: "One fact
should ever be kept in mind by our
country : China is on the eve of a great
change. It may be retarded by conflict
ing claims of national rivals, but it will
come up sooner or later, and the only

way to reap our share of the results of
the change is to prepare ourselves, and
this point should bo pressed upon the
consideration of our countrymen, who
ought to consider it most carefully in all
its bearings and far-reaching coubo-quenr-es.
"China is about entering into the con
s'ruction of a system of railways that
will open, up her vast recorces and act
favorably upon the prosperity of the peo
ple, .directly and indirectly; on one
hand, by giving the poor of the over
populated districts easy, and cheap
means of getting to busy cities where a
livelihood can be earned, and on the
other, lessening the chances of out
breaks by rebellion, facilitating the col
lection of taxes and creating trade and
commerce between remote sections."
Mr. Jefferds leaves for the East today
to conclude arrangements for the con
struction of the Pekin and Hankow,
line, a road 750 miles long. He Is
booked to sail from ' San Francisco for
China on June 6th. -
