THE FRIEDMANN TREATMENT Unqualifiedly Condemned By the Canadian Associa- tion for the Prevention of Tuberculosis A despatch from London, Ont., ays: Dr. F. F. Friedmann, the German scientist, who created a furore in America when he brought to this continent his alleged cure for tuberculosis, and who was given every opportunity to demon- strate the efficacy of his serum in the leading hospitals of Canada, htva been unqualifiedly condemned by vhe Canadian Association for the Vrevcntion of Tuberculosis. Announcement of the report of the spcci;,' <KJiunnvb(H, apjK.int'xl b.v the a#&ix-i;iU''n was max!* public <>:i Wedin--.; i 't at iVu general meetiiiR of thy ( nnadiau NVi-licl Association. Ur. Porter of Ottawa., the Secretary of the Canadian As- sociation for the Prevention of Tub- erculosis, the society tliat-bab Bonn- years taken a foren: in h nnmnnip ... y^ ^ read the report. Dr. Adarai of Montreal, Presid- ent of the association, also ad- dressed the meeting, stating that there was no dmbt as to the fail- ure of Dr. Friedmann. The meth- ods of Dr. I-'rifdnmiin had been oritici/ed, he said, but though Dr. Friedmnnn did not observe all tho ethics of tho profession, still every Opportunity was given him to prove his case. The members of the com- mittee had approached the study of the remedy with open minds and absolutely unprejudiced, and had mndc every effort to discover bene- ficial results from tho inoculation of patients. Thre was no discu?sioD upon the subject, the rt-i">rt Keing received with acclamation, the applause ap- parently signifying not the associa- tion's pleasure that Friedmann's "cure" was not a cure, but th.it the committee hnd thus publicly ex- posed the allet'f-d remedy and set at rest the public mind. The Ol'.lcial Report. Dr. Porter uf Ottawa read the following report on Dr. Fried- mann's treatment for tuberculosis: "In order to allay public excite- ment, and to afford to the medical profession and people of Canada an authoritative statement regard- ing tho value of Dr. Friedmann's treatment, the Canadian Associa- tion for the Prevention of Tuber- culosis nominated a committee of five members to study und report upon the cases inoculated by Dr. Friedmann at Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and London. That com- mittee has added to itself those physicians who have under obser- vation tho cases treated in those cities. The committee thus consti- tuted reports that it has carefully 1 studied the case histories of the pa- tienls inuculated by Dr. Fried- turnn. These number altogether mil. namely: For Montreal, >5 ; for Ottawa, 10; for Toronto, 81; for London, 15." The report states: "As a result of our observations fiom March 11 to the present, the following con- clusions seem justifiable : "(1) The inoculations have nei- ther constantly nor frequently been j followed by any marked change in the clinical course of the disease. "(2) The cure or progress toward cure claimed by Dr. Friedmann for Ms treatment has neither constant- ly nor even frequently taken place in the time during which these cases hnve been under observation. | "(3) Thus, upon investigation, the committee find that tho results , have been disappointing, and that the claims made for this remedy have not been proved, and thut nothing hns been found to justify any confidence in the remedy. "(Signed) Prof. J. George Adami, Prof. J. J. MaeKenzie, Dr. A. Caulfield, Dr. E. S. H.irding, Dr. John W. S. McC'ullough, Dr. Wnx H. Ross, Dr. J. H. Elliott, Dr. Porter." Dr. Chas. A. Hodgetts, a member of the committee, being averse from making any report whatever, did not sign the above. Dr. Hodgetts is Director of the Health Depart- ment of the Conservation Commis- sion.

There is not sufficient evidence to show if the message from the steam- ship Meaaba, reporting ice, reached 8 responsible officer on the Titan- ic."

Delivers An Eloquent Speech at tho j (jiuild Hall Banquet. A despatch from London, Eng- land, says: "To-day the friendship between the two nations becomes, if possible* strengthened and re- offirmcd. Co-operation continues between them which does not ex- clude the co-operation of any other power, but which tends, on tho con- trary, to tho maintenance of Eur- opean peace and establishes be- tween Britain and France fraternal confidence and common good-will." This was the keynote of the elo- quent speech which President Poin- care delivered at Guild Hall on Wednesday. It further emphasized the stirring message which Poin- care has given to the British na- tion. The President's visit to the city was a personal triumph. He received a great ovation as he drove through the densely crowded streets. Wednesday night he enter- tained the King at the French Em- bassy, the banquet being in every respect French, the valuable plate, i decorations, and even tho chefs coming from across the cha'nnel.

TEN ITALIANS WERE KILLED Heavy Loss of Life In an Explosion of Dynamit e on New C.P.R. Line A despatch from Kingston says : At 11.30 o'clock Wednehday night a terrible fatality occurred eleven miles we*t of I'arharn in No. 2 con- struction camp of. the new C.I'. II. line. Ten men were killed. Mich- a-el Onirrey, an Italian foreman for Johnson Bros., assisted by a dozen of his fellow-oonntryjiien, were en- gaged in preparing a l,eavy blast to be not off in order to liavo material to muck out on Thursday, when in Romo unknown way a sipark wns generated, causing tho explosion. A tal&phonn niesHngo from Long Lako on Thursday afternoon state<l that eight of the bodie had been recovered. In all, it is understood, ten were killed, and the search for the other two was going on and men wero working in tho debris. Tho bodies were more or less mutilated and in some coses badly mangled. The dead Italians are said to he- long to Montreal. Michael Guir- rey, the foreman, wns among those killed. One of the Italians, a relative of one of tho men who lost their lives, went, temporarily insane after the catastrophe occurred, and some of the men hnd all they could do ke<-p him from doing himself harm. He himself had a very narrow escape. Montreal Markets. Montreal, July 2. Corn American No. 2 yellow. 671-2 to 680. Oats Canadian west- ern. No. 2, 41 l-2o to 42c; do Canadian wnstcrn.

ON vim Tho passing of another Dominion Day hao an.infd on:6 discussion lit to whether Canadians an a whole are rf.-i.lly treating Canada's natal day quite fairly. In most places it ie about the nu!et<-st holiday of the year. It 1 sandwiched between the 24th of May. which continues to be uni- versally observed. an<l tli August civlo holidays which towns and cities celebrate. Scarcely anywhere \v. it made an occasion for a patriotic celebration, and Ita treat- ment is In marked contrast t>i the Amor- lean's manner of demonstrating on the Fonrth of July. The reason cannot lie in any apathy on the part of Canadians toward their nativo land. Perhaps it lins partly in the so.ieon of tho year. The first of July fliHls that portion of the population which takes , M n'.i--: holidays either preparing to flit, or flitting or settling down. And it finis the rural population entering on Its buniest e-M;on. Another explanat-'on may be that wu have not been taught to fully anpreciato the significance of. Con- federation. The f-ic: that men and newspapers are discussing tha niatter in a. sign that a change It possible. The U. S. Tariff. Intercut ir the progress of the Demo- cratic Tariff Bill at Washington hae been revived by tho turn of recent develop- ' raents. In the original draft of the bill provision wan made for substantial r ductlon in varioi's raw food products euch ae live stock and wheat, but they wre not placed on the free list, the amount ol duty remaining being, it wns claimed, sufficient to provide the American farmer with amnle protection, and to prevent the measure from being much good to the Canadian farmer, finished food pro- ducts euch as meats and flour were on the free list. Incidentally thla looked like a pretty soft arrangement for Cai/ a'lian millers and mat packers. However, the more radical Democrats have declared that the only thing to do is to make a clean sweep of duties on food stuffs. It now looks a though thci p view might prevail with a certain pro- viso, and it U this eio*tlon which, is of particular Interest to Canadians. The present proposal is that wheat, live stock, etc.. should be placed on the free list, but that In tho c.ip of countries maintaining a duty ag.ilrst these articles a duty of a similar ajnount will be levied by the United States. As Canada maintains duties on food product sh would be ou this black list of Uncle Sam's. Will Revive Hsu* Hare.

A despatch from Belgrade^^or- yia, says : A strong force of Bulgar- ian troops attacked tho Servian position at Zletovo and Ralkovatz in Macedonia at 1 o'clock on Wed- nesday morning. The attack, ac- cording to official information re- ceived here, was unprovoked, and fighting was still in progress when the despatch left. Later reports from the scene of the fighting say that the Servian artillery had gone into action, and a fierce battle was in progress in which both sides hid suffered considerable losses. Tho Bulgarian attack on the Servians has created a dangerous state of! excitement hero. Tho newspapers I publish special editions, declaring, ' in largo type, "War has begun." The streets and cafes are filled with excited crowds. ularity with all classes of neoble is tre- mendous. And in addition to his marked success as a statesman he in known us a u.. i.: generous and discriminating ron of arts and letter*.

Hoten Bring High Prices, I'll" pi .it'ii H which are yet to be made In fin' hotel business, in this country may be indicated by tho fact that transfer has I .lut-i beon made of a Toronto hotel licence 1 at a price said to exceed considerably the I sum of $100.000. It was the highest ligure that has ever been paid In Canada for a J hotel license. The property In question Is centrally situated down town, Its main { bushiest) being In the bar which, though i almost one hundred foet long, dore not by uny means hold tho record for To- i'n!,'. theno being two or three others with greater dimensions. It if understood" Uiat tho pronorty wh'ch i ha* been in tho possession of ont> family j upwarde of forty yoars, now passre the hands of interests which are ntrolled by one or other of the. brew- ries. Brewery ownership is understood to apply to many hotels. And In other case* individuals own more than one hostelry. This system of tied houses is. however, frowned upon by the License Commissioners, who desire a* far as pos- sible to suppress trafficking or speculat- ing in hotel license* and it can therefore only bo put Into effect under cover. Bourassa In the Wast. Henri Bourassa, the Nationalist 1-ailer, has beon touring Western Ciuiadn. The party loaders, exhausted by their Parlia- mentary duties, have beon content to re- tire for a period of rest and o,ulet, hut not so with the irrepressible BanrMM. In tho West ho has beu expounding the doc- trine of Nationalism and ho expresses i himself as entirely satisfied with tho re- ! ception he has beon revolving. H. mi 1 . u -, i'n eloquence and his brightness always command attention. His speeches glitter with sparkling hlte which break forth with apparent spontaneity. For ex- ample, at Winnipeg he made reference to "our railway magnates who have grown BO fat. BO powerful and so loyal." And agaiu to "Mir Thomas Hhaughnessy, who Is so concerned with the unity of the British Empire, ought first to xsk J the British Government some means by which ho can become a British subject ' before he teaches lessons of patriotism," I Bhnughnessy being an American Whote ('.in. ill.:. n naturaliiation does not makei him a British citizen. Or, again, "some of our patriots get no bread-chested when I they talk about the British Kmpiro that yon would think they hnd swallowed it whole." During his tour hn maintained that ' neither the Liberal Party nor the Con- servative Party constituted llriti.-li Insti- tutions. At the same time ho stilt dis- avows anv idea of forming a Nationalist Party. "I consider there Is more than i-.i-'ir.'i with two parties, and I would not desire to take upon my shoulders the responsibility of creating a third source of evil doings." Question of Senate Reform. It looks as though e were with'n measurable diaianco of an agitation for the abolition of the Canadian Senate. A number of Liberal papore are already committed to tho complete abolition of the second Chamber, and now we are hoviiig denunciations of it from the pr.'sts of the other side.
