Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 13.The scientists who, since 1899, have been studying can cer at the Gratwick pathological labora tory of the University of Buffalo, under the patronage of the state of New York, are preparing to report to the profession facts which indicate that they are near ing the solution of a great problem. The Buffalo laboratory has proven-jpended cancer to be a parasitic disease, infec tious in type that it has been trans-1 planted and reproduced in perfectlyjmunication the secretary says in part: healthy animals that the reproduction 1 has been cured by the administration of a serum prepared in the Buffalo labora tory. Must Test With Humans. Experimentally considered, the ques tions of the cause of cancer and its. ab solute curability are settled facts. What remains now is the application of the re sults of animal experimentation to the cure of the disease as it exists in the human being. Much work remains to be done before Dr. Boswell Park, director of the labora tory, will be prepared to make the final announcement of the discovery of a serum suitable for use in the alleviation Sand cure of cancer in human beings. That this annoucement will be forthcom ing in due time is almost an assured fact because of the discoveries which have been made by Dr. H. R. Gaylord, pathologist, and Dr. G-. H. A. Clowes, chemist of the lab oratory. Official Story of Experiments. The official announcement says: Doctors Gaylord and Clowes, assisted by Mr. the mice injected -with cancer, which have led to the discovery of an antitoxio serum which visably affeots the growth of can cer in mice, and in a number of cases has been sufficiently active to cause the total disappearance of tumors of considerable Bize. The occurrence which led to the dis covery of the serum in question was the spontaneous recovery of several mice which had been inoculated. Altho cancer generally is considered incurable, as these observers point out, there are cases of spontaneous cure of cancer in man reported in literature. The emphasis of the possibility of the animal overcoming the cancer led the ex perimenters to investigate the conditions under which this took place, and, having for some time in mind the possibility of the serum treatment for cancer, they con ducted a series of experiments.

Washington, Jan. 13.Secretary Wil son has sent an urgent request to con gress for the appropriation of $150,000 for the further prosecution of the work of the department of stamping out scabies in sheep and mange in cattle. It is expected that the money will be supplied in the general deficiency bill, and the larger part of it will be ex in the grazing sections of the Dakotas and Montana. In his com- a Baeslack of the cancer laboratory of, also threatened to infect the foreign trade, state department of health, recently in- fact, on consignment of cattle from have performed a series of experiments on! These. have proved beyond. question that _,, i., x, i the blood of mice which have recovered from cancer possesses an antitoxic qual ity, and, when injected into, mice suffer ing with cancer, stops the growth. The field which is opened by these pri mary experiments apparently is a diffi cult one, but they should prove in prin ciple that not-only is cancer curable, but extend the hope that some means may be found to develop a similar immune se rum which may be applied to human be ings. The changes which are brought about in the tumors in the mice are similar to those which already have been found in man. The fact that cancer patients oc casionally have been known to recover spontaneously shows there apparently is no discrepancy between the conditions found in man and those observed in mice. Opposed to Harvard Theory. Additional interest is given to the Buffalo experiments because of the con clusions reached recently by the cancer commission of Harvard medical college, I when that body gave up all further'Con gideration of the subject, and announced I that cancer was neither contagious nor hereditary, that the only cure for the disease was early operation at the hands of the surgeon, and that no discovery had been made which offers any hope for cure of cancer. NO ROYAL VISIT FOR CANADA. London, Jan. 13.The report from Montreal that King Edward and Queen Alexandra will visit Canada been necessary for the protection th-e interstatewas andcontemplated an foreign trade in forcten larger than at the snee a cattle to establish an inspection time the estimates for the current year were made. The diseases mentioned have been found to exist and to have spread over a great part of the territory of the United States west of the Missouri river, and it is necessary to inspect all the sheep and cattle shipped from that part of the country also to supervise the treatment of animals which has been adopted for the eradication of these dis eases. The exportation of sheep affected with scabies has had a very bad influence upon the export trade in these animals, and it is very desirable for the preservation ol the trade that only healthy sheep and those which have not been exposed to contagion should be permitted exportation. Cattle Scourge Increases. The disease of cattle known as mange, which is similar to the scabies of sheep, has been increasing in frequency for a number of ysars and has led to restric tions placed upon the interstate trade by a number of states of the union, and has an Americae port has already been found badly diseased when landed in Liverpool, It was therefore deemed necessary to un dertake the control of this disease, and inspectors have been placed in the field to inspect all cattle from the infeoted dis tricts and co-operate with the state au thorities for the suppression of the dis ease. The average expenses for the control of these two diseases for the months from June to October have exceeded by $14,784 the' expenses of January, and it appears impossible to effectually prevent the spread of these diseases and protect our foreign trade with a less expenditure than is now being made. The scabies of sheep has been almost eradicated a number of states that were badly affected, but it is necessary to keep up a supervision over these states in order to prevent the introduction and spread of the disease again before simi lar success has followed the work in ad joining states. The work with man wit S was systematically undertakencattle only th fthJfli in declared to be unfounded. A% 0k oue year ssSS a^i fiscal year, andis should- be continuerdr until the disease eradi cated. I consider it of the utmost im^ portance to the cattle and sheep industry of the United States and to the mainten ance of the export trade in live cattle and sheep that these diseases shduld be com pletely suppressed, and this can be done with thorO work in the course of a few years. Stockmen Have Helped. Officials of the bureau of animal in dustry say that the stockmen of the three states mentioned have worked actively with the field force of the bu reau in the effort to stamp out^ the diseases. Some of the big cattle com panies have provided their own dip ping vats, while in other cases the transportation companies and stockyard corporations have provided facilities for dipping cattle intended for ship ment. All that the department's agents do is to furnish the formula for the preparation in which the cattle and sheep are dipped, and one of them is always present to inspect cattle when they are gathered for shipment, and to superintend the dipping. It will be seen from this that the cattlemen bear a large proportion of the expense of eradicating these diseases. Nearly all the $150,000 will be expended in sal aries and traveling expenses of the field force, and it is hoped that enough men will be provided with the sum named to insure .prompt inspection. of jeatfie intended for shipment.'

TOBACCO TRUST IN FIGHT OYER DUKE Counsel for Family Charges Plot to Rob and Perhaps Kill'' Foe of Trust. New York, Jan. 13.Brodie L. Duke, half-brother of the president of the American Tobacco company, whose re cent marriage resulted in his commit ment to a sanatorium, was brought into the supreme court today on a writ of habeas corpus, and after a hearing was sent to the Long Island Home until Thursday, when a commission will in quire into Mr. Duka's sanity. The writ of habeas corpus was ob tained by W. C. Branham of Durham, N. C, who has acted as private secretary for Mr. Duke. Counsel for Mr. Bran ham argued for an immediate examina tion of Mr. Duke. This was objected to by Delancey Nicoll, who said he rep resented members of Mr. Duke's fam ily, and who declared that he desired to secure witnesses for himself and that the persons whom he represented "wanted to rescue this man .from the toils of one of the worst associations of criminals which existed for the purpose of robbing this man and perhaps killing him" Justice Gaynor ordered Duke to be committed to a sanatorium until Jan. 19. is now known that the action brought by W. G. Branham is in accord ance with instructions from Mr. Duke himself, who regards Branham as his closest friend, and had intrusted to him knowledge of a danger which Mr. Duke believes has threatened for the past three years. At the formation of the tobacco trust, Brodie L. Duke refused to join his relatives in the consolidation* He re tained his interest in several independ ent companies, in which he is still inter ested. They are the most active com petitors of the trust. I is an open secret that because of his opposition, Brodie L. Duke is estranged from his family. The tobacco trust has taken active measures to absorb all tobacco products, but on every hand it met with interfer ence from Brodie L. Duke. It has been Mr. Duke's ambition to create a producing industry of suffi cient magnitude and power to fight the trust. It has long been rumored that .there exists, in Texas,- -lands,*-which, if I Eolygamist, properly cultivated, would produce to-i*n upper reaches,of tb* Congo river.

AYERS MORMONS OPPOSE POLYGAMY Utah Witness for Smoot Says No Male Polygamists Get Any Sympathy. Washington, Jan. 13.J. W. N. Whitecotton, an attorney of Provo, Utah, testified today^in the .Smoot. in vestigation. I think the decided sentiment of the Mormon people in Utah is hostile to polygamy, "said Mr.Whitecotton. He said a groat deal had been said of an under standing that there should be no prose cutions for polygamy, but he did not believe it existed? Continuing, he said: "But I believe the people generally do not want to stir this thing up and start it smelling againit has not a good odor. Women went into polygamy a delusion, probablybecause they thought plural marriage a religious duty. The church prescribes that if a plural wife gets a divorce, she cannot be married to another husband, and the people realize that if she is cut off by prosecutions from her only protector, she and her children are in a precari ous condition. The sympathy of Gen tiles and young Mormons opposed to polygamy is all for the women. I never heard of any sympathy for a male and don't believe there ever as been such sympathy for one, unless perhaps he should happen to be married to three or four viragoes." "What is the sentiment in regard to the polygamous families?" asked the chairman. That it is an. awful condition. One that we wish we were out of, and we don't know how to get out ofj" said Mr. Whitecotton. SACKING OF MISSION DENIED.
