These eases are directly traceable to thirty tubes of bacilli brought for experimental pur poses from llombar by Drs. Aldbreoht and Ohon. In the best-known form of hubonie plague swellings occur In the groin and armpits, ac cording lo Dr. Albrecht. When the disease thus admlta of a surgical operation, the pa tient's life may be saved by the extirpation of the affected glands. But numerous cases of a secondary form have been observed In India wherein the lungs are attacked. This has In variably proved fatal. This is the form taken by the four caaea In Vienna, of which two have already proved fatal. There are no traces of swellings. The patient Is first feverish and then Ihere are attacks ot vomiting. Pneumonia with high fever and asthmatic symptoms next develop, and before death the face assumes a bluish color. Both fatal cases have followed an exact sequence. Nurse Pecha's pulse was 129 a minute and the temperature 100. necessarily causing uncon sciousness. All were cases of the plague. The bacilli were discovered in the patients' spu tum. Dr. Barsoh. who attended the inocu lated guinea plga. rabbits, Ac. Is supposed to have contracted the disease by inhalation. The nurse was similarly affected by bending over him. the contention being that the bacilli fill the lunge and accessory parts, causing pneumonia. It Is noticeable that though Dr. Barsoh sud denly became III on Saturday morning, the true cause was not suspected, and was only definitely established on Monday morning. Dr. liarsch's wife thought he had caught cold stopping!out late for several nights. When he returned he showed signs of intoxication. It was then supposed to be an attack of Influ enza, but a careful examination by a doctor specially Interested In Dr. Barsoh led to a sus picion of the truth, when precaution were taken. The doctors did not hare a supply of serum, which was hastily obtained trom Paris. An Injection was made as soon ns it was received. hut without appreciable effect, and he died on Tuesday evening. It is imposslbe to fix the exact date of the Infection, as the period of incubation varies. Some tubes proved to be much more rapid in their action than others. In the experi ments vlth animals death ensued in from one to three days. THE atOBBQAK MYSTKBT. Varlona Theories as to the Explanation of the Terrible Blander. Sptmal Cable Dttpatrk to TBI So. London. Oct. 22. The Mohegsn disaster Is probably destined to remain one of the unex plained mysteries of the deep. Numerous theories have been conceived, but none is capablo of proof. Suspicions with regard to Capt. firifflths's sanity and sobriety are abso lutely impossible. Something wrong with the compasses was r.n evident suggestion, but the Mohegan held a correot course past the Eddy stone Light, and It is Imiossible that the compass could have acquired a deviation of a point within forty knots. Moreover, a framed card was found floating near thi scene yesterday which proves that the comrasses were properly and professionally adjusted on the 5th inst. The suggestion of the existence of magnetic attraction in the neighborhood of Dodman head must be dismissed, as a couple of years aijo the coast was minutely and scientifically rcsurveyedand no such indications were found. Two theories now divide the public that Is most Interested. The correct magnetic course from a mile south of Eddystone Light to the Manacles is west half north, and to a fair berth off the Lizard, west halt south. It Is assumed that Capt. Griffiths confused north and south, not menially, but by a mere slip of the tongue. A more psycho logical suggestion amounting to a similar practical result Is that the Captain suffered fiom one of thoso incomprehensible mental delusions or a momentary cessation of brain power, which occasionally cause a man to foreet at the moment even the name of his own street. He may thus have given a completely wrong course or have imagined the Manacles to be the Lizard and ordered accordingly. To meet the possibility of such cases, it is now suggested that the Captain's orders ought always to be verified by the navigating officer on the chart as soon ss given, instead of as suming the Captain to be Incapable of a mortal error. The need of a lighthouse at the Manacles hue been demonstrated by a long series of minor disasters. It will probably soon be supplied. BISHOP TAI.DF.

The run on the Mochanlcs and Traders' Hank, whioh begun on Friday as the result of the publicity given to the cnll for the resigna tion of President Unites, practically ceased be fore the close of business hours yesterday. A large number of sma : depositors withdrew their money, but few of the larger ones dosed their accounts, and the bank took in yester day two duilurs for every dollar which it paid The money drawn out for'the day was about STii.Otjd. being about 815,1)00 only in excess of the regular Saturday druwiugs. while the money taken in amounted to about $150,000.

ATM BVMGLAM WEB ,wX) JKWMt. Mri. Walllat. a. WelMo-De Widow, rallies the Polio, with t.ry Of Bobbery. Mr. Nellie Halliard, who for the past three years ha lived In a flat In the apartment house at nO West Slity-flfth street, says she was robbed early yesterday morning of jewelry valued at $.1.0(0. The property consisted of rings, earrings, shirt studs and brooches. Mrs, Maillard is about 3ft year old nnd a widow. She hi an Income from several pieces of real estate In Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Her husband died about four years ago. Her apartments are furnished in the most '.luxuri ous manner. Her servant Is a Miss McDer mott, who was In the house, but can give no information of Ihe burglary. Mrs. Malllard's flat Is on the second floor of the apartment house. Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday morning J. II. Crocker, who occu pies the apartments on the floor above those of Mrs. Maillard. rushed into the West Sixty eighth street station and reported the case. Mr. Croeker is the New York agent of a Cincin nati browing company. He told Capt. Sheehan that he was aroused by hearing Mrs. Malllard's soream. He hastily dressed, and, running down stairs, found her in tho hallway. She was in her night clothing. She told him. he says, that shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday morning she was awakened by hearing footsteps In the private hallway of her flat. She jumped out of bed and enme face to face with the burglar. He pointed a revolver at her and said: "If you open your mouth I will, kill you. Say nothing and you will be nil right. Now toll me where that jewelry is. I know all about it. I know how much you have got. and I want it all. Come, give it to tne. quick." The woman was badly frightened, and, ac cording to her statement to the police, she immediately went to the bureau in the bed room and pulled from the drawer n chamois bag contntning the gems. The burglar ex amined them critically, Mr. Maillard says, and then said: "They are all right. I am going to take them, but If you scream inside of live minutes I will come back and cut your throat." Mrs. Maillard did not scream withiu the pre scribed time. Afterward she yelled loud enough to awaken Crocker. She told him the story, and then he went to the police station Detective Donahue was sent to the flat. He examined all the windows and doors leading to Mrs. Malllard's apartments, but was un ahle to discover how the burglar got Into the rooms. Mrs. Maillard had no theory to ad vance in the mutter. There werosotne marks on bureau drawers, apparently caused by a jimmy. Mrs. Maillard is a collector of old coins and has a valuable collection. She in formed the police that some of the more an tique specimens had been taken by the burg lar. It was announced by the servant girl last night that Mrs. Maillard was so prostrated by her loss and the fright that she could not see reporters. Capt. MoClusky of the Detective Bureau said last niatht that about four years ago when he was a detective Sergeant, he was called upon to investigate a similar rohherv In Slrs.IJIaillard's apartments. Ho save no ar rest was ever made and the case is still a mystery. NEW TBIAL EOB WABSZAWlAK. Tbe Converted Jew Scores a Point at tb State Presbyterian Synod. The Judicial Commission of the New York Stat Presbyterian Synod, held at I'.lnilrn, made a report in favor of a new trial for Herman Warszawiak, the converted Jew, by the session of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. The commission, however, did not give Warszawiak a bill of character. Tho members simply sustained with more or less unanimity his appeal on about eight of tbe 1110 exceptions taken by him upon the trial before the commission of the Presbytery of New York. Tho report said that an injustice may have beeu dono to Mr. Warszawiak in the original trial before the session in not allow ing him counsel, in not granting him access to the records and in allowing undue cross-examination into financial matters not included in the original charges. " It is, therefore, the order of the Synod." the report continued "that the appeal be sustained, and that tho Presby.ery 01 New ork be in rtrueted to remand this case to the session of tbe Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, with Instructions to re'ry Herman Wars.nwiak upon amended charges. Including the mlsuso of moneys contributed for missionary pur poses." The report was placed on record. The order of the Synod will probably be considered nt the Noveniberniootingol the New York Prosjbvtery. but it is not likely tnnt the new trial of Warsza wiak will take place before January. 1800. Nearly two years ugolhe applied to the New York Presbytery for ordination. This was reiused to him on the ground that his moral character was open to suspicion. He was then u memberof the Fifth vvenuo Presbyte rian Church. In June. IX17. he was convicted of leading nn immoral life before the session and dismissed from the membership of the church. Warszawiak appealed to the New York Presbytery, but the decision of the ses sion was finally sustained. Much bitterness was engendered at the hearings. CBVSHEO BY Loawoon.

AN irtOKNIOUS SCHEME FOB BOBBTNO THE OOrEBSMENT. It Conalated In Kstabllthlng a Number of Fonrth-Clas Post Offices and Carrying All Sorts of Mall Along the Bnnte, Cancelling the Stamps at Kaeh Office. Washin-oton, Oct. 22. During the past month there has been a marked revival in Post Office fraud, growing out of the establishment of bogus fourth-class office and the falsifica tion of receipts nnd report. A a result many fourth-class offices have been discontinued, nnd inspector are making a rigid Investiga tion In certain loonlitle where the reports to the department warrant the suspicion that crooked work ho been carried on. In the manipulation of thoso frauds the country operators have displayed much cun ning nnd Ingenuity, but In every case they have overshot the mark and done the very things that brought their wrongdoing to the attention ot the department. The moat conspicuous cases ot fraud thit hive just been unearthed were found in Haralson county, Ga., and Magoffin county. Ky. In the list named county It ha long been understood by shrewd workers that, when out of a job, a moderate sum of money could be easily made by estab lishing fourth-class Post Offices and "doing" tho Government for anywhere between $100 and $250. The liberal policy of the Government In ex tending mall facilities 1. In part, to blame for these frauds. Upon the petition of a small number of citizen the Government promptly establishes a Post Office at the site designated, and puts a local merchant, blacksmith, or other small business man In ohnrgo. No salary Is psld, but the Postmaster's compensation comes from the sale of stamp, and up to $100 a year he Is required to make no report to the Govern ment ot his receipts. The next rear 60 per cent, of the value of the stamps can celled Is allowed, the percentage decreasing as the aggregate of cancellation Increases. To swell the business of the offico I to increase the compensation, and this I the thing that lends to fraud. The compensation ot the car riers of the mall between these small stations In tho first Instance is based likewise upon the value of stamps cancelled, and when there i collusion between both the carriers and the postmasters the fraud Is easily worked until the inspectors get upon the track. Recently the department was flooded with petitions for the establishment or numerous offices in Harnlson county, Ga., and they were indue time established. The business trans acted was such as usually falls to the lot of small offices in thinly settled portions of u Stale, but after a time railway postal clerks began to report excessive amounts of msil matter coming to them from these localities, and an investigation waB begun. This discov ered an energetic band of workers, made up of carriers and Postmasters, who wore doing a thriving business. Tho offices had been estab lished after a thorough canvas of tho country, and the Postmasters were In structed that if business woe boomed their compensation would go sailing toward the big figures. Letters were written in great num bers, and tho stamps which formed the basis of tbe Postmastor's compensation were used with which to mail them. Even newspapers were regularly mailed and registered, nnd this mall was carried f mm one Post Office along the route to another. On some parts of this route every farmhouse was a Post Office, and the business dono by these rural offices would have vied with that oTa moderate-sized village. When tbe inspectors Anally located the manstrorsnf tho scheme they started in to make their arrest. One of the carriers vvas caught on his route carrying a pointer dog Irom one Post Office to another s rt lisfered mail matter, tho stamps having been put on tbe animal's collar and cancelled ut each office through which it passed. Every conceivable kind of stuff wss used as mail in ortler that the quota of stamps allowed the Postmaster might bo utilized and the receipts of the office swelled to the highest notch. Several arrests have been reported to the department, and the men will soon be placod on trial. The Kentucky case was similar in many respect-. I'pon the petition of the inhabitants of the backwoods of Magoffin county. Post Offices with the euphonious names of Coon. Emma. Envy, Gap. Mary. Pricey, Quod and Sarcpta were established. Tho business ol these places was lor a month or so just what might be expected from such a community, hut meanwhile tho officials were laying the r plans. Tho next report made to the deiiari nient showed an enormous increase in the Cancellation of stumps. The territory served was utterly wanting in business to justify such an Increase, and nn Inspector was sent out nt once. It was a dang-ro-is duty to perforin, for in that part of the lilne (irass State a Post Office inspector Is looked upon with as much suspicion as are the agents of the internal revenue service. To penetrate the rough country In search of vio lators of the law meant that a man must take his life in his hands. But the section vva.i pene trated and the routes gone over. The report of the inspector, which is among the secret archives of the department, showed that tho receipts of the offices along the newly estab lished route had been falsified necording to the usual methoelp by the transmission from office to office of all sorts anil conditions of stuff as 1'nitcd States mall. The department took the ground that the easiest way to dispose of the troublesome question was 'o discontinue the offices, und the order has been issued, to go Into effect Oct. 31. CIVIL SKIIV1CE METHODS. Gen, TJumnnt Says They Were Not Sucreaa fill In tbe Steamboat Inspection Service. Washington. Oct. 22. The annual report of Supervising Inspector-Gen': ;al Dumont of the steamboat inspection service contains, besides the usual inspection statistic--, soni plain re marks against the Civil Service Commission for Its 111 success In connection with the bureau over which he presides. Ho deems It proper, ho says, to report upon the workings of the classified service since the inspection service was placed thereunder, and adds that it has not been alto gether a success. He then explains from his standpoint the rcasonsfor fuiluro. Thesewere, llrst, tho apparently inadequate cleri cal force employed by the comml.i slon, which resulted In great delay in obtaining a list of eilgiblcs; and, second, tho aversion of musters, mutes, pilots and engineers to taking c impetltlvo examinations for the service. Ho mentioned a esse last win ter wnon. after a thorough advertising of the I'.'ict, candidates, for examination as engineers presented themselves in only flttcen of the forty-two distrii'ts. whereas before the service was placed under civil service rules there was 110 iliillculty in securing competent men. As an evidence that the selection of officers is no better conducted under civil service rules than without thum Gen. Dumont says that in an examination recently the general average obtained by sixty-five officers who entered the service prior to its being placed under the civil service rules wu-i eighty-eight. The delay in ruling caiid'dates wns. Gnu. Dumont sivi, ft nn two to four months, necessitating tem porary appointments which were very unsatis factory.

Tho Board of Registry there I composed of Lippman Baor and Wllllnm E. Carney. Repub licans, and John McGuIro and August Sehoon eorn. Ileinoorats. Deputy 138of Superintendent McCullagh's staff was present and objooted to Smith registering, on tho ground thnt he hnd not lived long enough in the election district. Tho Republican insptsHors refused to lot Smith register Smith protested, declaring thnt ho hnd lived off and on" at the lodging house for two years. The inspectors had a conference, the result of which wns that the Republican In spectors declared that Smith was not entitled to register and the Tammany inspectors held otherwise. 8uilth went away and returned with Percy Nagle, theTamnianv Hall loader of the district, and Assistant District Attorney John I'. Oowsn. The Republican inspectors declared that Smith wns not entitled to register. Mr. Cowan made a speech In which he said. In substance, thnt It was the duty of the Board of Registry to register anybody who came along, and that the board was not empowered to determine who had or who had not the right to register. The speech didn't awe the Republican inspectors. Nagle was also ora torical without effeot. Then the party hunted up Judge Olegerlch, a stalwart Tammany man, and got from him a mandamus summoning the Registry Board before him on Monday to show cause for not accepting the registration of Smith. ( .ow nn and Nnglo said they would apply for warrants for tho arrest of the Rerublloan In spectors and also have McCullagh's doputy ar rested for intimidating voters. TRESS IK KOBKB MABBIBD.
