iii.in". Jan. Prof. Koch willre-turn to Berlin in March after he makesa tour of Italyand Egypt. Upon his re-turn the Koch institute willbe formallyopened. Yesterday was the twenty-fifthanniversary of his receiving his di-ploma as a doctor, and ho was the re-cipient of a large number of congratu-latory letters and messages. Ho hasprobably reached the climax of hiscareer. There is distinct disappoint-ment over the defective .characterof his statement regarding the composi-tion of the lymph, especially the studiedreticence concerning some parts of theprocess of production. Experts in anal-ysis say that his declaration that theremedy is a glycerine extract aus denreincuitaren der tuberkel bacillen•reveals nothing, while the descrip-tion of the lymph which follows,

which says the lymph contains"eiiie gevyissc nicnge yon mineralsiilzen farbende substanzen und audereunbekannte extractivstoffel" seems pur-posely evasive and obscure.' The dis-cussion proceeds with renewed activityas to the value of the discovery. Theweight of German, Austrian and En-glish medical opinion supports the be-liefin the healing virtues of the lymph.Prof. Virchow is understood to havemodified his unfavorable view. Prof.Fraenkel has exhibited before the

Berlin Medical Society

six oases of pulmonie tuberculosis andlupus, all of which are distinctly pro-gressing towards a cure. He also re-ports the oases of fifty-two patientstaken at the first stages of disease,most of whom are recovering. Prof.Fraenkel is averse to treating patientsinadvanced states of disease. Prof.Sonneburg reports favorably on thecases of several patients in theMoabit hos|iit:ii who were sufferingwith advanced phthisis. Dr. Rosenthal,of the Berlin Dermatology sociale, up-holds the supreme value of the lymphin cases of lupus. A debate in this so-ciety elicited the opinion from doctorswho favor the use of the lymph in lep-rosy. Doctors in Stuttgart repoit itssuccessful use in scrofulous diseases ofthe eye. Advices from Vienna statethat the physicians there praise Prof.Koch's genius as an observer.They are surprised at the sim-plicity of Hit! discovery. Frenchdoctors who are hostile to the remedylay stress on Prof.Virchow's suggestionthat the injection fluidis apt to spreadtne tubercle. Dr. Peters reports that intwenty-one post-mortem examinationshe found that the lymph instead ofbeing beneficial had led to an extensiveincrease of the tuberculous deposits.The evidence from every quarter whencompared demonstrates that though theremedy lias failed in many cases, ithasan undoubted effective

Ameliorating I:<!<'<• tinearly phthisis, tubercles of the larynxand lupus. Leading Russian doctors,Prof. Much and Dr. Peterson, have ex-perimented with the lymph in leprosy,and report the characteristic reaction.The wide-spread prevalence of leprosyin the Baltic provinces has obliged theKiga municipal council to vote a sum toestablish an asylum and hospital, whichwill be opened in August, whenthe Koch remedy will have anample trial. The committee ofthe reichstag on the sugar bill,after rejecting the proposal to raise theconsumption tax to 10 marks per 100kilograms, instead of 20, as proposed bythe government, to-day voted an openexport bounty of one mark for a fixedperiod, as proposed in the original bill.The government declares that it willnot accept the changes made by thecommittee. Yesterday's majority againstthe abolition of the erain duties doesnot alter the government's resolution tomodify the extreme protection policywhich it has hitherto followed. Chan-cellor yon Caprivi has the assurance ofthe Center party that, although con-tinuing conservative as regards theabolition of duties, they willsupport atreaty with Austria reducing the

Thriffon Cornto 3 marks 50 pfenuiugs. Tester-day's vote strengthened the chancellor'shands in dealing with Austria, toobtainconcessions in exchange for a reductionon grain. The official dinner given l>vHerrMiquel. minister of Buanne, whichwas attended by the emperor, Chancelloryon Caprivi, several members of theministry, and several members of thereichstag, was rendered notableby tl^e tree utterances of theemperor concerning bi-ineiallisinGermany, he said, could not accept adouble standard curreiKy. The ques-tion had been definitely settled in favorof a gold standard. The trading nationsof the world, lie declared, would erelong agree upon the universal adoptionof gold. During the four hours he waspresent at the dinner, the emperor, be-sides expressing himself on the cur-rency question, talked at great lengthconcerning reforms in educationand art and upon dramaticsubjects. The Vossisrbe Zeitung andother papers refer to the reports thatthe emperor intends to take the initiat-ive in a Kuiopean disarmament. Theemperor's circle ridicule the rumor as arehash ofan old fiction. A committeeof the Detilsetur Verein Eisenhutten-leute hos waited upon Mr.I'iielps, the

American lUiniMter,at the legation, ilerr Thielen, managerof the Phoenix Iron works, and IJerrKichrort, chairman of the committee,referred to the recent visit of the mem-bers or the society to America in re-sponse to the inyitation of the instituteof minium engineers. They said theywere welcomed everywhere and wereoverwhelmed with hospitality. Theywould never forget the pleasant.instructive days they had passed inthe United States. Desiring to givesome tangfble sign of their Lrratitud»\they asked Mr.Phelpsto be the mediumto present three silver goblets to Messrs.Kirchoff, Raymond and Shinn, i»pouwhom had chiefly devolved the hospi-tality accorded the German delegates.Mr. Phelps expressed thanks on behalfof the American institute. He after-wards gave a dinner to the committee.A Dusseldorf artist designed thegoblets. They are shaped likebessemer distributors, and are hungon swivels. Tiny are curious andunique. An American named Nocton,hailing from t>t. Louis, has been ar-rested in Munich charged under thename of Drew with swindlingthe Vi-enna Laender bank out of 4,568 florinsby passing a forged bill of exchange.Dr. Windthorst to-day eeiebrated hiseightieth birthday.

':• Railroad TrafficIs greatly delayed. Over one thousandmen are engaged in clearing the streetsof Berlin. The tramway companies inVienna employ 4,000 men to clear theirtracks. The Austrian railways orepartly blocked. Large stocks of pro-visions are snow-bound, and the pricesof food have :consequently advancnfl.Reports from Vienna say that railroadcommunication with Temesvav, inHungary, has been stopped owing tothe great depth; of the snow to thenorthward. of that place. The ports ofLubeck and Rostock are again closedby the ice, and Kiel is shut inby driftice. At Hamburg the cold has becomemore intense, and the river is full ofdrift ice, which is greatly increasing thedifficultyof navigation. Bremerhavenis in a fair way. There is much driftice there, but itpresents no obstacle tonavigation. The German consul atCanea, Crete, has sent a telegraphicmessage here announcing the convic-tion to-day of four men who had beenarrested for the murder and robberyof a German naturalist named Dr.Reinsch, wlfo had been making a scien-tific tour of Crete. The leader of thegang was sdntenccd todeath, the othersreceived long terms ofimprisoment. 11.Win. l.iebknecht, the socialist editor,at a largely :attended conference ofsocialists recently, held here,- proposedthe creation of a workingmen's acade-my, in which political economy, nat-ural science, history and stenopraphyshould form the principal features ofstudy. The meeting approved, of thescheme and confided the matter to acommittee composed of socialist mem-bers of the reiclistag. .

SNOWED UNDER.

Unprecedented Atmospheric Phe-nomena in Warm Climates.

Algiers, Jan, 17.—1t would seemthat unless a miracle happens or theweather changes radically within avery short time, the inhabitants of Seb-don, a small town in the Tlerncen dis-trict of the Province of Oran.will starveto death. About a week ago informa-tion reached the city of Tleincen to theeffect that the inhabitants of Sebdonwere snowed up from escape, and thatthey were slowly starving to death.Their stocks of provisions had run outbefore the bearer of the alarming newsreached Tlemcen, and it was said thatthe horses, mules and even the fewcamels at Sebdon were being killedfor food. As in the majority ofsmall Algerine towns, ;the inhabit-ants of Sebdon depended almost en-tirely upon the regular or irregular con-voys of provisions which reach themfrom the larger towns, and the stockkept on hand is always comparativelysmall. When the news of the danger-ous position in which the inhabitants ofSebdon were placed reached themilitary authorities of Tlenicenthey immediately sent a quan-tity of provisions under the escort of adetachment of troops from the garrisonof Tlemccn to the relief of the sufferersat Sebdon. Unhappily the convoy,adayor so later, was snowed up in . the Tal-teruey pass, and it was some time be-fore the authorities at Tlemcen becameaware of the danger to which the con-voy was exposed. \u25a0'•"""-.-\u25a0;-- > :\u25a0£-'.

Mapiub. Jan. 17.— A violent snowstorm prevails in this neighborhood andthe weather- throughout Spain is ex-tremely cold. In the Malaga districtjackals are play ing sad havoc with theflocks. Infact", the jackals are appear-inginsuch numbers that they are terri-fyingthe peasants. The snow in thenorthern sections of the country is al-ready five feet deep inmany plaoes.

Naples, Jan. 17.—The "snow stormwhich commenced yesterday has lastedallnight. The storm is an unprecedent-edone. Traffic in the streets has en-tirely ceased, jjThe. telegraph wires areworking badly, and there is considera-ble delay along the railroads.

COUNTERFEIT GOLD.

An Almost Perfect Imitation of.".•;;, the Five-Dollar Coin.

' »-

The most dangerous counterfeit everknown in the history of the coinage ofthis government has been found by theauthorities of the mint in this city, saysthe Philadelphia Record, Itis a§s goldpiece designed and executed with suchremarkable skill that few of the expertscan distinguish the spurious coins fromthe genuine. In general appearance,color, weight, and design the counter-feit is perfect. Itis an exact fae-similt?of the true coin except in size. It isslightly larger in diameter,' but the dis-crepancy is so small that only carefulmeasurement with a special instrumentin the hands ofa skillfulman willrevealthe difference, and even an assay hasbeen found necessary to -establishdefinitely its .character." Only a fewhave been discovered in the mint, buteven conjecture can not approximatethe, number that arc floating throughthe banks and thasubtreastiries.

The principal tact whTch makes themnnibtdifficult of detection is that theyare made of gold, but the metalisoflower grade than the government stand-ard, which is HOC tine. The spuriouspieces are about fiftypoints less. Assaysmade at the mint have shown that theyhave an intrinsic value of $4.40, leavingthe counterfeiter a profit of 60 cents oueach piece for lib labor. The sameskill which characterizes the design andexecution of the coin is observed in thereduction of.the standard;. The alloy isso skillfullymade iipthat the weight ismade tocorrespond with exact preciseness to the genuine coin.

The authorities have only a theory asto how the false coins are made, "butthey are satisfied of the correctness oftheir conclusions. The/counterfeiterappears to possess Isome :-process bywhich he can temper a genuine coin toa degree of great hardness. He under-stands also how steel can be refined andsoftened so that it can be made to takean indented impression like a pieceof: lean. Having adapted his steel,

.he places it upon a hardened- coin,which he then subjects to a quick, heavypressure. The metal receiving the im-pression is next hardened, and: whenthis process is fiuished the counterfeiterhas an almost perfect die with which to •stamp his pieces. It:differs from thegenuine die only in that the -pressurerequired for the impression expands thecoin, making the die slightly larger indiameter. This circumstance furnishesthe explanation for the difference exist-ing between the sizes of the genuineand false coins.?

HILL WILL_ACCEPT,To Avert a Contest New

York's Governor Will Goto the Senate.

But WillServe Out His Termin the Gubernatorial

Chair.

Annoying- Telegrams Sent toSenator Teller From

Colorado.

Kansas Legislators Will De-cide All Contests With

Justice.

New "York, Jan. 17.—Speaker Shee-hau said to-day that Gov. Hillis not acandidate for senator, but if the Demo-cratic members of the legislature be-lieve that a contest can be averted andsuccess absolutely assured by the pre-sentation or his name, he willaccept thehonor conferred, with the understanding

among his party friends that he shallsubstantially serve out his term as gov-

ernor before taking his seat in the sen-ate.

TEL.L.ER TELEGRAPHED.

Dismal Dispatches Wired to HimFrom Denver.

Denver, Colo., Jan. 17.—Severaltelegrams have been sent from here toSenator Teller at Washington, urginghim to come to Colorado, as his chancesfor re-election to the United Slatessenate are in danger. This conclusionis without foundation. While there isa factional fisrhtin the Republican mem-bers in the assembly over local matters,there is not the slightest doubt thatevery .Republican member of bothhouses willvote for Mr. Teller on nextTuesday. The Republican majority on-joint.ballot will be 50, there being 49members in the house and 26 in thesenate.

KANSAS CONTESTS.

The Legislative Committee Pro-poses to Do Exact Justice.

Topkka, Kan., Jan. 17.—The electronscommittee of the lower house began aninvestigation to-day of three of theseven contestant cases. RepresentativeDunbauld, chairman of the committee,

said the committee is determined tomake a fairand impartial investigation.and there is no disposition, he says, outhe part of any of its members topermit partisan prejudice to utter intoits deliberations. The report will bebased upon justice in each case. Sev-eral members cf the senate were inter-viewed to-day on the report that theyliad decided to adjourn the senate andpermit (iov. Humphrey's to name a suc-cessor to Mr. Ingalls. They all agreedthat no such plan was contemplated.

FORCE BILL.SOUTH.

A Scheme to Obtain an ExpressionofOpinion.

Nashville. Tenu., Jan. 17.—1t hasbeen quietly around among politiciansrecently that an effort was being madeto get an expression on the force billfrom leading Republicans in the South-ern states. The scheme was to hold ameeting of the chairman of the Repub-lican committees of the Southern states.These were to take favorable action onan election biil, and appoint a com-mittee to go to the national capi-tal to work for its passage throughcongress. CnpJ. Baker, chairman of theTennessee Republican executive com-mittee. Was approached to-day. Hesaid he had received a letter from anold Republican triend in Florida, stat-ing that such a movement was itn foot,and that he wrote at tile request of Mr.Egan. chairman of the Republican statecommittee of Florida. Uapt!Bak'.T re-fused to state the reasons assigned 'inhis letter to his Florida triend for o'p-nosing the force bill,,but admitted thathe hail written a letter giving Urns* rea-sons iv ful!. This was about Nov. 1,and as he has heard nothing further onthe subject, he supposes "the projecthas been abandoned.

Must Vote for Ingalls.Atciiison, Kan., Jan. 17.- A mass

meeting of Republicans was held herethis evening at which resolutions wereadopted instructing State Senator EUs-ston, from this senatorial district, tovote for the re-election of Senator In-galls. Mr. Ellston had announced hisintention ot voting against Mr. ingalls.

Piiikertons in Charge.Denvku, Col., Jan. 17.—There is but

littleexcitement to-day over the legis-lativerow. The hall is still in posses-sion of the I'inkerton and deputy sher-iffs, who lounge around the hall, smok-ingand engaging each other in friendlyconversation. The Banna faction metthis morning and immediately ad-journed until Monday. The probabili-ties now are that a compromise will beeffected the first of next week.

Gov. Boytl Recognized.Lixcolx,Neb., Jan. 17.—liya vote of

14 to18, the senate passed a resolutionrecognizing James E. Boyd as governor,without prejudice to Thayer's contest.This is the first action in either branchof the Legislature which recognizedBoyd as governor.

COKEA'S QUiSEX BURIED.

She Had Been Regent, and WasInterred With Great Ceremony.The funeral of the late Queen Dow-

ager and regent of Corea appears tohave been celebrated with great pompand ceremony. Five months were con-biimed in preparations, and from theday of the interment every Corcan citi-zen is bound to exchange his black hatfor a white one for the space of threeyears. He must also wear white shoesand avoid parti-colored clothing. "Di-viner" were employed toselect a.suitablespot for the royal grave. The proces-sion was heralded by thirteen sedanchairs hung withsilk drapery, and eachoorne on the shoulders of twelve men.Inthese were supposed to be the his-torians who will write the biography ofthe deceased. Gorgeous banners fol-lowed, each furnished by one of thegreat trade guilds. Soldiers bearingbrushwood torches lined the streets,aim horsemen withhideous masks, sup-posed to represent the imps who protectthe dead from evil spirits, joined in theprocession, which was heaneu bya general mounted on a splendidcharger and surrounded by liv-ened servants. According to Coreancustom there were two catafalques, de-scribed as immense oblong structuressurrounded by a railing or balustradeand bearing inside a silk-draped bierWhich of these contains the corpse ssupposed to be unknown to any but theinitiated. High on one stood a mailclothed in mourner's attire, and behind,says the curious narrative iv theChinese papers, came another gre»tcloth to shelter the female mournersthen a iong line ol' officials and mourn,

•v?}^Iwillattempt through your columns' 3

to call public attention, and particularlythat of the legislature, to the followingfacts: :A movement is on foot tos^curSlegislative permission and an appropri*>ation from the state treasury to drain ajchain of four or live lakes in the centerof this county(aibley)includiugl3eatty'9lake, Norton's,- and others, . some ofwhich are meandered. About- a yearago Washington lake, one of the largest;iiithis county, was partly drained by aditch purporting to be inaccord withstate lnw, yet this was a meanderedlake and section 75. chapter 95, General |Statutes 1878, is supposed to prevent isuch v draining.

~Twenty, years ago

this state well deserved the proud ap-pellation "The Lake State," having thenwithin its confines its portion of thelargest lake on earth, Superior, andovei 10,000 other lakes of various sizes,set like so many jewels by the Creator'swise hand to forever beautify and fer-tilize the Norm Star state. Inthoseearlier years the fertility of our state,and its vast yield per acre of wheat and :grass crops were the astonishment ofthe newcomer. The Mississippi and itstributaries-had nearly double the vol-ume they have now. The Falls of;St.Anthony roared like Niagara. Thenthe farmer could reckon on regular amisufficient rainfall one year .with another,

in every part of the state; lumbermen'depended on: a regular snowlall everywinter without disappointment, andsteamboats-, made • regular trips onstreams now unnavigable. Pure,' nat-ural water for stock was found on al-most every section. - *; \u25a0•\u25a0'\u25a0' -""\'; Many of the smaller lakes were thenso deep that pickerel, buss and other;kinds of fish wintered easily beneaththeir ice. Bat, alas! what achange thepast-score- of years lias promulgated.Myriads of SDarkiini: little lakes havebeen drained and have disappeared for-ever from our landscape. Numerousvery lance lakes have been either en-tirely drained or permanently lowered"by ditching so as to lose their fish and

\u25a0 natural beauty. The once pretty Tigerlake, near Norwood, Carver county, issuch an

-example. The average,

.'- 5j• These sad results are- not- without,causes. The principal, cause is this:"Overdrainage." The drainingof manysmall ponds, sloughs and maishes, whiletending to lesson evaporation, was hrseveral cases a necessity, or a'necessary 11

evil. But the draining of meandered'lakes, or even small, clear lakes notmeandered, is a fearful blunder, and a }criint! againstuatifre'iiv law, the$ppoplefj \u25a0;of Minnesota and itheir 'posterity;- Th^j jrain and snow fallis gradually decreas-
