LIVING THINGS IN CANCERS.
tdheicn(a of the micro-p3raeite, or
germ, theory of the cause of cancer have
come into possession of what they be
lieve is fresh proof of the correctness of
their position, says the New York
Ledger. This proof is a case in a Berlin
hospital, which has attracted the atten
tion of experts all over the world.
A young woman and a middle-aged
man, both suffering from cancer of the
stomach, wero taken to Professor Van
eyden'a University hospital in Berlin.
The physicians tapped both patients to
remove accumulated fluid, and exam
ined the eecrelion very carefully, with
the retult that living organisms were de
tected. They were supposed to belong
to the protozoa.
The fluid was then submitted for ex
amination to Dr. Scbaudinn, an emin
ent expert connected with the Berlin
Diversity, lie had had much experi
ence investigating protozoa, tie de
lected the unmistakable presence of
germs in the Quid taken from both
cases, and named them Lej denia gem
mipara Schaudinn. Both he and Pro
fessor von Lsyden are investigating the
subject still further, and will make
shortly a report of the result of their observations.
The germ theory, which has been
strengthened very sensibly by the Ger-
mau doctors' experiments and observa
tions, is not a new .one in cancer, but is
now held by a large number os special-
sts in both Eurore and this country.
The old-style theory, sMil ad.iered to
ery largely, is that the growth of cancer
is duo to the proliferation of misplaced
cells. In other words cells become mis
placed and are in the nature of stray
issue and seek to establish their
rowth in their new habitat. In do-
so they develop into a cancerous
growth. This is the long-accepted
Cohnheim theory. Some Euro
pean specialists undertook to com
bat Cohnheim'a cancer theory some
ears ago. Drs. Rufer and Walier, of
London, after extensive research, con
tributed a paper on the subject, which
formed the basis of subsequent develop
ments. They advanced thp micro-para-
eite theory, and arsmed that terms
which develop under certain influences
not known or explained are taken into
the system, just as other germs are, by
food, water and air.
The cancer specialists cf the world
haye divided themselves into two
schools, accepting one or the other
theory. Neither side, however, pre-
teuds that the queatioa has been settled
bsyonci a doubt, and all hands are
awaiting with the greatest interest the
result of the German doctors' decision in
the present case. It is conceded that
their verdict will go a long way toward
settling the question.
In an address read before the Medico-
Cnirurgical Society of Gla?glow, and
printed in the British Medical Journal,
three years ago, Dr. Joseph Coast, of
Glasjow, gave convincing proofs of the
correctnesi of the theory of Drs. Rufer
and Walker. He contended that the
Cohnheim theory requires the existence
of a tinsle piece of tissue, growing in a
separate form and independent of the
eurrounding tissue. Thi3 requirement
he rejected, and that instead of the sin
gle, independent tisiiie, there is evi
dence that the normal tissue assumes a
peculiar growth. A cancer, he con
cludes, is infectious, and thus proof is
furnished of its parasitic origin.
The question of perhaps greatest im
portance the Rufer and alter advo
cates have had to deal with is the possi
bility of tho production of tissue growth
such as cancer by parasitic agency. Tu-
birculosis is not a growth. To prove
that such can be the result, Dr. Coats
cited a case of malignant goiter. He
found it in tumors of an unmistakable
tissue growth. This disease, he asserts,
is endemic in certain localities, resemb
ling malarial diseases in ttiat respect.
The explanation, he atserts, is the ex
istence in the soil cf those localities of a
morbid poison, which gets into the bod
ies of persons, as malaria. If such
poisons can produce the growth of a
goiter with distinct tissue, he concludes
that tho tistue origin of cancer can be
likewise explained.
An expert in cancer said recently that
physicians did not consider the question
as settled, but tho weight of opinion was
now clearly on the side of the parasitic
theory.
"We are waiting with interest," he
said, "the result of the experiments of
tho Berlin hospital doctors, and think
that good results may come from them.
Still, the question is susceptible of wide
discussion. The most we can agree
upon now is that a cancer is a malignant
tissue grort tti, and we can cut it out,
with the jHJteibuity of its growing
again.
Cullom on Cuba.
Wasiiinoton, Dec. 10. Public inter
est in the Cuban question was shown to
day by a full attendance in the galleries
of the senate to hear the speech of Sen
ator Cullom, of which he had given
notice. Before he was recognized for a
speech, petitions for the recognition of
the independence of Cuba
sented.
National Civil Service.
Philadelphia, Dec. 10.- The annual
meeting of the National Civil Service
Reform League wa3 begun today. Dele
gates represent lhe principal cities of
the United States. The executive com
mittee chose George McEnany and A.
S. Frissel, both of New York, secretary
wero pre-! and treasurer respectively.
I Robert B. Booker, civil Eervice com-
Cnllom began by saying that while he miesioner of New York, reviewed the
was not disposed to criticise President I great political movement of the country
Cleveland, he had hoped for a more pos
itive expression of tho true American
continental policy from him. Cullom
spoke of the record of Spaiu for cruelty
and oppression, both in the treatment of
her own people at home up to the present
century and in her policy toward the
provinces on tnis continent.
Spain, continued to be, he said, what
she had always been, a robber nation.
The time had come, he declared, for this
nation to announce the speedy termina
tion of Spanish control of the island at
the gateway of the Mexican gulf, neces
sary alike to the welfare of these islands
and the people of the United States.
Tho Cubans could never be conquered
and the war of extermination must stop.
Cuba is already lost to Spain, Cullom
claimed. The American veople were
coming to consider the Cuban situation
as a great political continental question.
It was the doty of. the United States to
nee its power to declare that no "charnel-house
of ruin" shall be continued in
West Indian waters.
"We shall not claim Cuba as a reward
for eaving her from the slaughter," said
Cullom "but free Cuba is the reward.
Means mdst be found to settle the Cu
ban question speedily, and if other
means fail we may consider properly the
fair purchase of Cuba."
The senator received close attention
throughout. He offered a resolution de
claring tbatjlhe "Extinction of Spanish
title and the termination of Spanish con
trol of the islands at the gateway of the
Gulf of Mexico are necessary."
in which seii-organizing power was
made manifest from the revolution to
the last national campaign, dwelling es -
specially upon the splendid uprising
"which resulted in Indianapolis gold
standard convention. The history of
the civil service reform movement, he
declared is in itEelf proof that effective
political organization does not depend on
office-holders.
Charles Richardeoa discussed the
new city charter of Philadelphia. Silas
W.Burt, ofNsv Yj ik, spoke on-the
'New System in Ne.v York."

ROSEBURG'S OPPORTUNITY
Encyclopedic
Convict Competition.
Sax Fkanxisco, Dec. S. Oicar Lewis,
manager of the Manufacturers' & Pro
ducers' Association, will this morning
present for approval to the cede commis
sioners at Sacramento an act which if
passed by the legislature will effectually
prevent the competition of California
penal institutions wiih free local labor
and home industries. The essential
feature of the proposed law is contained
in the following portion of tUe bill:
"It snail be unlawlul for any person
confined" or em ployed . i a any.penal Tnsti
lution in the state of California to engage
or be employed in the manufacture of
anything whatever that U an article of
commerce in this state except jute bags
and jute and broken stone for roads and
highways."
The Southwick bill, before congress,
which prohibits the shipment cf convict
made gcod3 from one state to another
with the local bill just spoken of will give
home manufacturers much protection.
In case, however, of the failure of one or
the other of theee measures, the cede
commission has prepared a series of acts
designed to mitigate the evils of convict
labor. One of these bills abolishes the
license for the sale of goods manufac
tured in this state. This is designed to
place them upon an equality with goods
manufactured elsewhere, which, under
the interstate commerce law, cannot be
so taxed.
An amendment to the political code
provides that all prison goods made in
this state shall have the brand convict
made, and a new section of the penal
code provides that any person dealing in
such unlabeled goods shall be punished
a tine of from $100 to $1000 or by im
prisonment for from 10 days to one year
or by both fine and imprisonment. By
still another act all public bodies in this
state are required to ;ive preference to
California preducta.

Costly Infatuation.
Paris, France, Dec. 4. Legal pro
ceedings in lunacy against a wealthy
young woman named Marie Saudiet
have made official record of an extraor
dinary story that off and on has been
the gossip of the boulevards for three
years. Away back in '93 she became
infatuated with a Hungarian musician
named Ferko, who was the leader of nn
orchestra in one ol the swell cales on
the rue d'Eljs;e. Ferko was married.
Marie gavo his wife $5000 on condition
that she would return with her two chil
dren to her home and remain there for
tho rest of her life. The young girl's
family made futilo efforts to break off
tho liaison, and it continued until a
couple of weeks ago when Ferko died
and wa3 buried by his mistress with
great pomp and ceremony.
After the departure of his wife he gave
up his position and became a habitue of
the races, clubs ami gambling dens, and
according to the papers filed in court he
squandered in dissipation in this period
not lees than $"50,000 of his iuaniorata's
fortune.
Since his death she herself has plunged
madly into dissipation, and it is now
proposed to incarcerate her and appoint
a conservator for the estate, which, not
withstanding the drain upon it, exceeds
in vilno $1,000,00;).
