Opened to lilt
New York Kv
I
I
Mr. Blaine's diplomatic discussions
have always been full of surprises.
They are nothing if not dramatic. The
discussion he has been carrying on with
Lord Salisbury during the past year
been a mixed question of law and i
The question of fact has been whether
the United States cruisers had seized
British vessels in the open sea ofitside
the three-mile limit, for catching seals;
the question of law has been whether
the United States cruisers had the right
to do this for the protection of the
Behring Sea or any other seals, or for
any purpose, except the suppression of
piracy. There has been a prodigious
cloud of words raised about the matter,
but the above were the essential points.
There was no question of national honor
or policy involved; no dispute about ter
ritory, or about belligerent or neutral
rights. The controversy has arisen in
time of profound peace. In the htinds of
Seward or Marcy the public would prob
ably hardly have heard of it all. Either
of these statesmen would, in fact, have
been very likely to leave the matter
wholly to the decision of the admiralty
courts, as the British government left
the decision of the question whether
slave-trading was piracy. It is in part
for the settlement of such questions that
courts of admiralty exist. When
Canadian or British sealer was captured
he had his remedy before the United
States tribunals. All that either his

appeal. This appeal
decided would unquestion
ably have closed the diplomatic
mouths of both Blaine and Salis
bury. If either of them hail taken any
further steps, they would have had to
bo belligerent steps. If the Supreme
Court were to award damages to tho
appellant in the Sayward case, it. would
leave Blaine without a leg to stand on.
If, on the other hand, it decided in his
favor, it would "ut Salisbury in the
position, which he could not hold for a
moment, of disputing the judgment of
the highest court of admiralty in the
world—a position which he would be
only too thankful to keep out of. In
short it would settle the Behring Sea
controversy out of sight and out of
mind, and would leave the field clear
for some joint convention for the pro
tection of that interesting animal, the
seal. In truth, the fact that this suit
pending made the diplomatic contro
versy somewhat ridiculous, because en
tirely superfluous.
The Candiuns havo at the last moment
changed their policy ns litigants bv
abandoning the proceedings in the suit
for restitution and damages^and asking
the Supreme Court for a writ of prohibi
tion annulling the proceedings in which
the vessel was condemned in the United
States district courts. Two petitions
for this have been filed; one by the
of the vessel, the other by the
Canadian attorney-general, who alleges
the approval of his proceeding by the
imperial government. The contention
of Mr. Blaine's friends now is that the
intervention of this last-named official
if not a foul insult,
official attempt to
carry into ordinary litigation a question
already under diplomatic discussion.
We must confess that while it is per
haps the greatest compliment ever paid
by foreigners to a court of justice, and
really ought to flatter the national
pride, it is ill judged and unfortunate in
that .while it will not make the judgment
of the court when it comes any more
decisive, it will furnish Mr. Blaine with a
means of at least temporary escape from
a position which is both embarrassing
and humiliating. It glveB him ân open
ing for a new controversy, involving
neither law nor fact, but raising numer
points of honor, courtesy, etiquotto,
and the like, in which his journalistic
pen will be able to rove about with all
the freedom of the wild ass on the plains
of Kittimengo. No one whose business
it is to follow him in his diplomatic ex
cursions can heai without a shudder that
lie is "beginning the preparation
another diplomatic note, in which li
to chastise the Canadian attorney-g
oral, and Lord Salisbury, and all others
concerned for their mean and discour

Standing quite by itself is the assertion
that the remedy may not only he dan
.'hielr have advanced
too far—a fact which may forthwith
conceded—but also that it actually pro
motes the tuberculosis process, being
therefor injurious. During the past
weeks I, myself, have had opportunity
to bring together further
touching tho curative effects and diag
nostic application of the remedy in
cases of about 150 sufferers from tuber
culosis of the most varied types in this
city and in the Moabit Hospital.

confirmatory testing the importance

the field where it has hitherto been ap

diseases. This task naturally demands
a full knowledge of the

Quite a different condition of things
occur when a guinea pig already suffer

adapted for this purpose. In such an
animal the small indentation assumes

trary on the day following or the second
after the inoculation the place where
the lymph is injected shows a strange
change. It becomes hard and assumes
a darker coloring, which is not confined
to the inoculation spot, but spreads
the neighboring parts until it attains

lymphatic glands. Thus the injected
tubercular bactilli differently affect the
skin of a healthy guinea pig from
affected with tuberculosis. This affect
is not exclusively produced with living
tubercular bacilli, but is also observed
with the dead bacilli, the result being
the 8amer whether as I discovered by
périment* at the outset the bacilli are
killed by a somewhat prolonged applica
tion of a low temperature or boiling heat
or by means of certain chemicals. This
peculiar fact I followed up in all direc
tions and this further result was ob
tained—that killed pure cultivations of
tubercular bacilli after rinsing in water
might be injected in groat quantities
under healthy guinea pig's skin without
anything occurring beyond local sup
peration.
Professor Koch here interpolates a note
that such injections belong to the sim
plest and surest meuns of producing
peration free from living bacteria. Ti

quantities of such diluted cultivations.

body becomes better nourished, and the

from exhaustion. By this means

shooting himself in the head. The act
was committed in the most deliberate

manner.
Some time in the afternoon he went
to his room, locked the door, and plac

seated himself in it and prepared to end
his life. Putting his right foot on a stool,
he rested his right elbow on his knee
und placed the muzzle of an army re
volver which he held in his right hand,
against his right temple. Then
grasped the muzzle of the revolver
his left hand and held it against his
head. Taking a final look at himself
the mirror he pulled the trigger and
died without a struggle.
The position in which he was found
hears out this statement of his deliberate
actions. His head fell back on the
chair, his left hand dropped to his lap,
found burned with powder.
Ilis right hand fell and the pistol
dropped to the floor.
The bullet went through Mr. Green's
head and came out at the left of the
hack, and was found on the floor. His
