WASHINGTON. D. C. March 11.—
There is not a. diplomatic representa

make an Intelligent guess as to what
i^ the meaning of Italy's demand for
a concession at San Mun bay. China.
Tins statement is made by one of the
highest diplomatic authorities at the
national capital. The whole movement
and the attitude of Great Britain in
supporting Italy's claim is a mystery
to the diplomatic authorities here.
Italy has no commerce with China,
iiiul has not heretofore sought to build
up any trade in that country. Italy
)m^ a good navy, but no army to pro
tect an Eastern concession. It would
not have been more surprising to the
{luthcritles in Washington to have
heard that Spain, in her present crip

na are to be open to commerce, as
Great Britain Insists in her policy in

should encourage Italy to enter the
field find agree to support her with
financial as well as moral influence, as
nothing is to be gained by such a move
while all the ports iire ot)en to the
commerce of the world.
It is suspected by some diplomatic
representatives that this Is the begin
ning of a movement to abandon the
open-door policy in China, and enter
upon the other policy of claiming
spheres of influem-e which will ulti
mately lead to the partition of China.
Italy as one of the naval powers is
to be taken into the partition by Eng
land, tc the more roadily secure a fair
division of the spoils from Chinese
partition ami prevent a scramble which
will cause a general European war.
On the other hand, it Is suspected
that in this move supported by Great
Britain the English statesmen are
simply putting up a bluff to warn the
United States that the agreement be
tween this government. Great Britain,
Germany, and Japan cannot be longer
delayed if the open-door policy is to
be maintained and America continue
to have any part in the Chinese trade.
Lord Charles Beresferd has sought to
show (he people of the United States
the advantage of an agreement be
tween this country and Great Britain
to support the government of China
anil maintain it in its integrity, by
insisting upon the open-door policy in
all the. Orient, including the Philip
pines. It is regarded as somewhat
significant that within two days after
he returned to Ixmdon there should
have been an open admission in the
house of commons that England is sup
porting Italy In her claims to acces
sion of San Mun bay, with the hint
thrown out that this is the beginning
i<; a new policy which will eventually
lead to the partition of China by the
great powers of Europe.
SPATN IS SUFFERING.
Conflict Between the Politicians
May Result in Open Rupture.
MADRID, March 11.— A former cabi
net minister says that the past week
has seen an endeavor to arrange a mar
riage between one of the sisters of the
young king of Spain and Don Jaime,
son of Don Carlo?, the object, of course,
being to bury the enmity of the pre- |
tender in an alliance with the reigning
branch of his house. "While, to be
sure," he said, "the attempt Is as im
possible as it is absurd, yet it is sig
nificant that two members of the Sil
vela ministry are responsible for the
endeavor. This new cabinet is half
Carlist, anyway. It is called the 'Vati
can ministry,' and it justifies its so
briquet, forgetting that the Liberal
government fpll chiefly through the pal
ace intrigues of the Jesuits.
"The friends of Sagasta and the Re
publicans have tried to agitate the peo
ple against the new government, but
they seem, on the whole, to have failed
of their purpose. Yet the approaching
election will be most exciting."
With the approach of the parliamen- i
tary elections the various factions In
the various parties are rearranging
their allegiance, while the new cabinet
suffers as much from dissension within
as from hostility without. The conflict
between Premier Sllvela and Gen. Pola
vieja, his minister of war, grows fiercer
every day and may at any moment
burst out into open rupture. As for
the general lines on which the fight at
the polls will be drawn, it seems now
as if clericalism would be singled out
for attack.

LIVERPOOL, March 11.— There was
a remarkable demonstration on the ar

people gathered on the quays and
j cheered her lustily. The steamship

There were affecting scenes between
the ■wives and other relatives of the
crew, many of the women weeping with
joy. The officials of the Cunard line
refuse to allow reporters on board
the steamer, saying that the whole cir
cumstance of the Pavonia's breakdown

time. The company, however, de

(■lii- the Emneror Command .
BERLIN. March 11.— At the annual
diplomatic dinner sriven by the emperor
of Germany on Wednesday, his majesiy
again warmly thanked the United
States ambassador, Andrew D. White,
for his efforts in re-establishing; cor
diality between the two countries. Mr.
White, in replying-, said the emperor's
anxiety regarding; Rudyard Kipling
had an excellent effect in the United
States. His majesty then started to
converse on the subject of Kipling-, and
his works, saying" that the jungle sto
ries were favorites with him, the hunt
ing excursions especially. The emperor
said he admired Kipling's keen, quick
insight into nature, human or other
wise, surrounding him. Emperor Wil
liam looks more robust and stronger
than ever. He has fully recovered
from the effects of his Palestine jour
ney. The minister of foreign affairs,
Baron yon Buelow, and Mr. White,
also, conversed at some length, and
pleasantly.
Although Robert P. Porter since his
arrival here has repeatedly announced
to the official world and to the press
that 'his mission is in no wise author*
ized by the United States government,
his stay here has attracted considera
ble attention, and is productive of good
results. A series of interviews has ap
peared in some of the leading papers,
in which Mr. Porter has strongly point
ed out the mutual advantages of lnti-*
mate and uninterrupted commercial re
lations between the two countries. The
comments on his utterances have been
extensive and varied. The Agrarian
press does not look favorably upon
them. The Kreuz Zeitung takes ex
ception to the fact that Mr. Porter has
nowhere hinted at American conces
sions, and says:
"Under such circumstances it would
be most difficult for Germany to con
clude a commercial treaty with the
United States."
The semi-official Post disputes the
correctness of Mr. Porter's figures on
the subject of German exports to the
United States; denies the justness of
his conclusions and adds:
"It is undeniable that German im
ports from the United States vastly de
creased during- 1898, while the exports
to America decreased $53,000,000, com
pared with 1897, and $40,000,000 com
pared with 1896."
FAVORABLE COMMENT.
The Conservative and Liberal press,
however, hail Mr. Porter's declarations
with satisfaction. The Cologne Ga
zette says:
"We believe the statements of Mr.
Porter have done both countries serv
ice, similar to one Baron yon Buelow
did the other day, in pointing out
things favorable to a friendly Inter
course between Germany and America,
More than this, it is pointed out how
useful to both will be a friendly com
mercial policy, and still more it would
be seen that it will not be half so dif
ficult to maintain as many people
think. Both countries are thus better
served than by attacks upon Mr. Por
ter's reasonable statements, in which
the Agrarian press indulges, thus put
ting itself on the level with the so
called yellow press of America. The
government will not follow the Agrar
ians into a tariff war unless the road
to a commercial treaty is blocked by
insurmountable obstacles, and the
quiet, thoughtful manner in which in
fluential Americans have lately been
discussing matters, permit no hope that
such obstacles will arise."
A number of other influential papers
discussed the matter in a similar
strain. While the government has
taken pains to show Mr. Porter that
his efforts towards a better under
standing, commercially, between the
two countries, are duly appreciated,
Baron yon Buelow, of his own volition,
has asked Mr. White to bring Mr. Por
ter to the diplomatic reception on
Wednesday, as the foreign minister
wishes to converse with Mr. Porter.
Similar invitations have been extend
ed to Mr. Porter by the secretary of
the interior. Count yon Posodowsky-
Wehner, and the secretary of the im
perial treasury. Baron yon Thielman.
At the instance of the government,
Mr. Porter, this week, fully explained
the new tariffs of Cuba and Porto Rico
to a commission of experts.
Mr. Porter explains to the J corre
spondent here of the Associated Press
that a serious discrepancy exists be
tween the figures of the imports and
exports of Germany and the United
States, furnished to the United States
treasury and those apparently drawn
from German official sources and quot
ed in the agrarian press. This explains
the different conclusions reached.
CHANGES IN NAVY.
Changes which have been contem
plated in the administration of the
navy, which have been considered for
a long time, the correspondent is in
formed, will go into effect on the re
tirement of Admiral yon Knorr, the
present chief of the navy. The em
peror will then assume command of
the navy, as he has exercised that of
the army; an admiralty and general
staff will be created, with functions
similar to the army general staff, the
admiralty staff to have a separate
chief, while the functions and im
portance of the commanders of the
naval stations at Kiel and Wilhelm
shaven will be enlarged. The naval
cadet system will be reorganized, and
the number of cadets is about to be
doubled.
Some of the newspapers said that
Admiral yon Knorr is retiring because
of personal difference with the em
peror on the subject of changes in the
cadet system. This, the correspondent
of the Associated Press is informed, is
untrue. On the contrary, intimate cor
dial relations exist between the em
peror and Admiral yon Knorr, who is
addressed by his majesty by his Chris
tian name, Eduard, and these rela
tions will continue unbroken. It is as
serted that the admiral is not the only
high official thus honored by the em
peror. Baron yon Buelow is also fa
i miliarly dubbed Bernhard by his ma
jesty.
Interesting tests of wireless teleg
raphy have been made at Kiel recently
on board a number of war vessels
three German miles apart. On the
whole the experiments have been suc
cessful.
Emperor William has presented the
aged painter, Adolphe IvTenzel, with a
bronze statuette of Frederick the
Great, modeled after Uphue's heroic
statue, intended for the Sieges-Allee
of the Hohenzollern tetra.'ogy series.
Three historical plays depicting stlr
j ring scenes in this history of the Ho
henzollerns, by Capt. Lauff, will, at
the emperor's suggestion, be performed
with great pomp in the presence of a
number of crowned heads, including
the emperor, at Wiesbaden, beginning
May 14.
SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
The papers comment upon the Sa
moan dispatches published yesterday
by the Reichsanzeiger, saying they
bear out the former German official
statements, and flatly contradict the
essential points of Mr. Chambers' let
ters. TheVossische Zeitung thinks the
documents show the German officials
in Samoa have strictly adhered to the
Berlin treaty, and the Cologne Yolks
Zeitung reproduces the version of the
affair credited to Mr. H. 1. Moor, an
American merchant of Apia, saying It
fully corroborates the German conten
tions.
A number of papers attacked the
government's so-called concessions at
Manila. The Rhenish Westphalian
Zemins says the withdrawal of the
German ships is inexplicable, "as the
danger to German life and property
In the Philippines is more imminent
now than in 18983.'
The paper alsov-jcondemns the super
cession of Admiral. it«n Dledrk-hs, and
asks if the admir£HsWw to lie thrown

Hospital, Paris.
PARIS, March I.— A dead man has
been brought to life in this city. It was
done by surgery and mechanical
means.
The man who performed the opera
tion Is Dr. Tuffier, of the Hopital de la
Pitie. In a statement written by him
for the Sunday Journal, he explains ex
actly how he did it. He further an
swered every question the writer put to
him on the subject.
Mr. Tuffler manipulates the heart of
the dead and thereby restores the cir
culation, life and consciousness. " He
had previously accomplished this suc
cessfully with numbers of warm-blood
ed animals. Associated with him in
these experiments are his assistant, Dr.
Duimont, and Dr. Hallion.of the College
de France. They state that they have
restored life to fifty animals.
Recently Dr. Tuffler was lecturing in
the Hopital cle la Pitie when word was
brought to him that ane of the patients
had just died. This was Jean Soulie
an artist, aged twenty-four. He died

SHIP TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC IN FOUR DAYS.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.— The famous
steamship Howard Cassard is now in th% ship
yards of the Cramps in the process of being
rebuilt. This vessel was constructed six
years ago by the Arrow Steamship company,
with the design of making the voyage across
the Atlantic in four days. It was unique
among seafaring vessels, and the theory upon
which it was constructed will soon be tested.
Several Philadelphia capitalists have inter
ested themselves in the boat, and when the
Cassard shall have been entirely rebuilt an
Ed by his pupils, performed an opera
tion that has never before been at
tempted upon man.
He laid bare with a stroke of his.
scalper the tissues overlying the fifth
and sixth ribs of. th« left side. His as
sistants applied tenacula — two-pronged
hooks for drawing membranes aside
from the field of operation— and pulled
the fleshy covering of the bones to one
side.
The surgeon picked up a small saw
and severed the bony part of the two
ribs; a heavy pair oftcutting pliers per
formed the same work on the carti
laginous portions, the scalpel passed
quickly around the freed ends and the
liberated piece was Hfted from the cav
ity.
Thus there was made a gateway to
the very eenten of life. With curved
scissors Dr. Tuffier incised the pleural
cavity and there lay beneath his hand
the surface of the lower lobe of the left
lung. A little higher up and to the left
could be seen the apex of the heart.
There was no movement in the heart,
none in the lungs. Many a small vein
had been severed by the knife and
scissors of the surgeon, but no blood
had flowed. There had been a slight
oozing of reddened lymph, but there
was none of that sharp quick spurt of
red blood that fellows the knife In its
track through living tissue.
"You see, gentlemen," said Dr. Tuf
fier, "the condition of both heart and
lunge shows that the subject Is dead "
While he talked, and as the pupils
looked. Dr. Tuffier, with a handful of
little tweezers, was busy about the
wound in the patient's side. A series
of short clicks followed his deft hands,
and, as he brought them away, it was
seen that to the end of every small
vein there hung a little pair of hemos
tatic forceps which should check any
flow of blood.
It had taken a minute or two to do
these things, but there was no move
ment from the body under the sur
geon's hands. The eyes were half open
ed, but a watching student had failed
to detect any change in the pupils from
the first touch of the knife until the
last.
"Undoubtedly the man is dead," they
said to one another.
Dr. Tuffler withdrew his right hand
from a basin 'ef -fibt water which a
nurse held to hjrn.S
"The water is the temperature of the
human body iit health," he told those
who watched. %
Then, palm Jpward, he thrust his
hand into the wound, moved the lobe
of the lung aside and grasped the still
ed heart of the P°4V-
The surgeon'stthiiinb rested upon the

hand had sought and found the base
of the right auricle.
"To you who have followed the lec
tures of the claß*efi it is but necessary
to suggest the purpose of this," said
Dr. Tuffier. as he .paused an Instant.
"From the right auricle,, on which my
fingers rest, the blood, during life,
passes to the right ventricle, upon
which my thumb is placed. Thence it
is borne to the pulmonary artery into
the lungs. The blood, arterialized by
the lungs, is returned to the left side
of the heart by the pulmonary veins.

LONDON, March 11.— The secretary

sistory of the court of St. Paul's to

to be the daughter-in-law of the fifth

"It is my purpose, by compressing
the right auricle with my lingers to

in motion again the whole mechanism

"Watch."
A slight contraction of the surgeon's
wrist marked the inception of this, the
most daring experiment ever tried upon
man. Next instand those watching saw
Dr. Tufher's thumb sinks slowly and
evenly into the mucle of the heart. It
rose, it fell again. There came a flut
ter of half-closed eyelids. A little Jet
of blood trickled from under a pair
of forceps. One of the assistants ad
justed the forceps more tightly upon
the vein it guarded.
"Don't crowd!" warned an author
itative voice.
Color crept into the ashy cheek of
the thing that a minute before had
been a dead man; intelligence came
into the faded eye. There was a quick,
almost explosive movement of the
breast, and before the eyes of the spell
bound students the play of the lungs
began.
Steadily and rhythmically the fingers
and thumb of Dr. Tuffler kept up their
work. The surgeon"s fingers were tak
ing the place of the man's heart— was
doing for his body what it was too
weak to do for itself. A little froth
came from the lips of the man who had
been proven dead. A nurse wh>ed it

came a voice as of one a great way off:

There had been no cessation of the
mo\ements of the surgeon's had,
though perspiration stood out upon his
forehead. The heart muscle is a pow
erful one, and to stimulate it takes
fc rce.
"Do you feel pain?" demanded the
surgeon.
There was no answer in words, but
the head of Jean Soulie moved slowly
back and forth. Distress showed upon
the face of Dr. Tuffier.
"I cannot keep this up much longer,"
he murmered to Ms assistant "My
hand is getting tired out."
Suddenly Dr. Tuffier withdrew his
hand. For nearly a minute the heart
could be seen to beat almost normally
Then it slowed down, slackened. A
film came over the eyes of Jean Soulie.
there was a last slow heave of the
chest, and again a "subject" lay on the
hospital bed.
A murnier of mingled horror and
wonder rose from those who stood
about the bed, but it was stilled In an
instant when Dr. Tnffiey placed his
hand again in the cavity, while at the
same time he placed his left upon the
apex of the heart.
"This time," he said, "I shall try to
put the heart into better action and to
keep it going longer. I may say at
once that it would be possible- to pre
serve life for perhaps a year in this
young man if the necessary mechani
cal appliances were at hand. As they
are not he must, perforce, be permit
ted to die again."
Once more the manipulations of the
heart began, and once more life crept
back to the fact of Jean Soulie. Again
he answered when asked his name and
some other questions. He said that lie
felt no pain from the wousd in his side,
but showed a disposition Jo cough, as if
the under surface of the lung was
touched.
For two hours Dr. Tuffler was able
to keep up the manipulations, and for
just as long as the blood circulated
through the body of Jean Soulie and he
lived.
At the end of that time Dr. Tuffler,
utterly tired out reluctantly withdrew
his hands, and Jean Soulie's life went
from him, this time not to be revived.
. STATEMENT BY DR. TUFFIER.
It is quite true that we recently ft
stored to life a dead man. It Is also
true that we have restored to life fifty
arimals.
All biologists now admit that dead
animals can be brought back to life.
This has been demonstrated over and
over. Why, therefore, cannot the same
be done for man? Death is merely the
arrest of circulation and respiration.
If this arrest be due to a mechanical
accident, it is obvious that the obsta
cle can be overcome by putting the
machinery of life again in motion. If a
physician happen to be at hand at the
moment when the circulation stops,
resuscitation is not difficult. This re
euscitation is well known to b« often

MADRID, March 11.— It is reported
here that Aguinaldo has redoubled his
opposition to the release of the Spanish
prisoners now in the hands of the In
surgents, because Gen. Polavleja, now
minister of war, caused Dr. Rlsal, who

blow in the epigastric region, injuring
the solar plexus.
I can restore to life almost any dead
man whose heart is sound and who is
brought to me within a few moments
after death.
I make an incision In his breast, take
his heart in my fingers, and by a se
ries of delicate manipulations restore
the circulation of the blood and bring
the dead man to life again. The circu
lation becomes quite normal after this
operation.
Nothing could be clearer than the
case of the young man whom we re
stored to life recently at the Hospital
de la Pitie. I was explaining a phys
iological question to my class of some
forty students when an attendant
rushed into the lecture hall and told
me that a young man had died sud
denly in another part of the hospital.
Thither I took my whole class. The
man had died of appendicitis. He was
dead beyond all possibility of doubt.
In the presence of my assistant Dr
Dumont, and of all my pupils I cut the
man's side open and pressed his heart
with my lingers. The blood circulated,
he began to breath, he opened his eyes,
he looked around, he talked to us.
Then I stopped, and after three min
utes the young man was dead again.
I repeated the experiment, putting
the heart In beter action, and the
young man lived for two hours. He
might as well have lived for two years
or for twenty, if I had had the proper
mechanical means at hand to perfect

I restored life temporarily with my
hand, but could not keep tins up long
enough to make his recovery perma

The mechanism I speak of can be
construced without great difficulty.
Every dead person cannot be restored
to life, but we now know by experi
ments which are beyond question, that
pome dead men can be brought back
again.
If the testimony of the senses of

of young Soulie were at fault, such a
fact would be more wonderful than his
restoration to life.
COMMENT BY DR. M'HI'BSEY,
Professor In the New York College
of Physician** and Surge-ciis.
NEW YORK, March 6.— The thing
does not seem to me to be possible.
When a man is really dead I do not
think he can he recalled to life by any
means whatsoever. In the case of sus
pended animation it Is ouite another
affair. To Bay that a man dies be
cause his heart has stopped beating
is putting the cart before the horse.
The fact is that the heart stops its ac
tion because the man Is dead. The
centre of life is in the brain- not in
the heart.
The surgical procedure does not seem
to be out of the way. The heart can
be handled to a certain extent without
doing- any harm to the organ. To say
that a dead man has been restored to
life seems to me to be too radical
Until further details are given it is
practically impossible to discuss the
statement. I think that life was mere
ly in abeyance in this case; that it was
a case of suspended animation, noth
ing more.

LAST OFFICIAL ACT
Of President Harrison Was to Aid
Mrs. JeftVrson Davis.
From the Boston Herald.
Senator Hoar unfolded what he called, a lit
tle bit of interesting history in the senate the
other day, when the bIU relating to changing
{ the copyright law was under consideration.
; He told how Mrs. Jefferson Davis prepared, a
■ very interesting life of her husband. Tiie
j ownership of that biography was a very lm
i portent resource to her in her oia age. Gen.
| Gordon came into the senate one day just
: before his tfrm expired, and in the last mo
• nients of President Harrison's administration,
j and stated that the publishers of the book
| had failed to make the proper deposit of
copies with the librarian to save her copy
right. They chimed that the copyright was
gone, and Mrs. Davis was absolutely in theLr
power. Consequently they undertook to, com
pel her to submit to some very hard, and
onerous terms. She was in great distress and
came to congress for help. A bill was i'issid
j relieving her from that disability, and it
was signed by President Harrison within
thirty seconds of 12 o'clock, when his term
expired.

that in South America, as well as in North
America, the red woman lives longer than
the red man. But the average duration of lire
Is only 17 years for both sexes in the South,
and 22 per cent of the Indians die during tbo

Physical Disabilities.
One question which a woman desiring to
become a trained nurse must answer is:
"What are your physical disabilities?" In
reply to this a girl recently wrote: "I have
a cowlick and a corn."

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Bent Feature* of the »■»▼
Pile Care.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles without one particle of
pain. This desirable point is not ob
tained by the use of injurious opiates
which simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves of the parts and make matters
worse In the long run. But it Is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while It thus gives immediate
relief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
i is rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a partt
: cle of pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
| popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure.and
constitutes one very great difference
between it and almost any other kind
of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful, besides
endangering the life of the patient,
and, in most cases, is not not to be
compared with the Pyramid Cure,
neither in making successful cures
without pain nor In cheapness and
safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be
fore the public so long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to al
low It to be classed with the many
salves, suppositories, pills, etc., and
you run no risk in trying it, as is often
the case with untried preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepar
ed by the Pyramid Drug Co., of Mar
shall, Mich., and sold by druggists a(
60 cents per package.
