Washington, D. C, Sept. 5. The
International Medical Congress open
ed here to day under the most favora
ble : auspices. More than 2,500 dele
gates wre in attendance,' represent
ing ? every civilized country in the
world.! Four hundred ot the delegates
come from abroad. In some respects
the congress is the most august con
vention ever brought together in this
country, and the men composing it
are, for the most part, distinguished
for general ability and intelligence of
a high : order in their profession.; - In
point of numbers this congress rivals
the London Congress of 1881. It out
rivals the last congress held in Copen
hagen in 188Vand the scientific char
acter and high standing of its mem
bers have never been excelled in any
previous congress.
( As early as 10 o'clock this morning
Albaugh's Opera House, where the
congress opened and where the gen
eral sessions will be held, was com
fortably filled with delegates and in
vited euests. and by 11 o'clock every
available &eat in the spacious theatre
was tilled. President Cleveland, ac
companied by Secretary Bayard and
ex Speaker Carlisle quietly entered
the theatre a few moments before 11
o'clock; and took the seats assigned
to them on t he stage. Promptly at 1 1
Dr. H. H. Saiitb, of Philadelphia,
chairman of the executive committee
of the congress, arose and
Introduced Freldt ClevelMd
to the vast audience. ThU was the
signal for tremendous cheering and
clapping of hands, which lasted for a
moment or two. When it had sub
sided, President Cleveland stepped
forward and said:
"I feel that he country should be
congratulated to-day at the presence
at our National Capital of so many of
those of our own country and those
representing foreign countries, who
have distinguished themselves in the
science 1 of medicine, and who have
devoted -themselves to its further
progress. I now announce that this
congress is open for organization and
the transaction of business."
When President Cleveland took his
seat he was again greeted with a
tumult of cheers. Dr. Smith (ben
announced the list of officers nomi
nated by the executive committee.
Dr. N S. Davis, of Chicago was selected
as .PreBiuVut, and Dr. J. B. Hamilton,
of Washington, as General Secretary,
and a long liat of V ce Presidents was
named.
Dr. Davis then introduced Secre
tary Bayard, who, with a few well
etiosen words and in the name ot his
Ifellow-country men, cordially wel-
icoined the foreign delegates to Wash
ington and acknowledged the grati
ncsttion felt by all in the country over
the selection of the National Capitol
as the Scene of the Ninth Iuteruatioh
al Medical Congress. The world,
Sec'y Bayard said, is becoming better
acquainted, social assimilation has
progressed, small provinces and
minor kingdoms are federalizing into
great empires. International intimacy
suffers ! less obstruction. The
broad and powerful current of liter
ature is silently wearing away the
banks of geographical prejudice, and
a spirit ot common brotherhood,
mutuality and independence is ex
panding itself irresistibly over the
barriers of mountain and sea, and
these two and beneficient conditions
gave promise that the wot d
strangers would soon be obliterat
ed from the vocabulary , of civiliza
tion." He assured the foreign
delegates that they would
Hot b Coiuldrred mm fttrang-cra In tbe
United States.
And t hat their claims for public res
pect and grateful acknowledgment
due to enlighted services, would find
prompt and hearty allowance here
by the populations who dwelt amid
the blessing of civil and religious
liberty beneath the banners of the
United ! States. He welcomed this
Congress as guardians of the sanita
tion of nations, and he promised the
convention a worthy audience, not
alone th members of your profession
here assembled, nor tne limited
numbers whom this building can
contain,, but that vaster audience to
whom upon tbe. wings or electric
force,; your message wiU be daily
borne far and wide to the listening
ear of more than sixty million ' of
American citizens." . He felt sure
that their message would be worthy,
and that their thoughtful deliver
ances would be welcomed by a con
tinent. :
After : Humbly petitioning the
profession in their deliberations to
allow nature a hearing when reme
dies are proposed, Bo that her healing
powers In m ght ; not 5 be - ion
in computing the forces of care, and
that science 'might be restricted as
often as possible to sounding the
alarm for nature' to hasten to the de
fense of the part assailed, p Secty.
Bayard felicitously closed his address!
in the following words: "My duty1
is very simple and I fear.I have al
ready overstepped its limit, for there
was indeed little more for . me to say
than to repeat- the words of an an
cient dame, whose cottage was close
by the battle field of Waterloo,, and
being: somewhat deaf, and hearing
the sound of - the . artillery , when the
famous "pounding' ; was" hardest
thought she. heard some one knock
ing at her door, and simply said,
'come in.' - This may seem' an unsci
entic illustration of auscultation and
percussion, but you need not make
half the noise of .Wellington or Bo
naparte, and I can assure you the
American people, will hear you and
heartily say to you, 'come in. V
u 'Leading delegates' from' England,
France, Germany, Italy and Russia

accorded by the Secty. of State, and
for .thae splendid reception that - met
them' at tbe national capital. Dr.
Pavji? Jprjesident x$ he t Congress,
then delivered his inaugural address.
At the outset he alluded feelingly to
the' death of Dr. Asbury Flint, of
NewVSbrk, who died in 1886. He
ppokexjf 'DrlintTs the most influ
ential leader in the presentation of
the work of this Congress, who, had
he lived, would have filled an honor
ed the position which the speaker
now heLJ. Leaving this sad part of
his duty, President Davis . thanked
the Congress for the honor bestowed
in selecting him to preside over the
deliberations of so great and learned
an assembly. It was an honor ap
preciated as second to no other of a
temporal nature, because it had
been bestowed neither ,r: by .con
quest nor . hereditary ".influence,
nor yet J by partiaaa ,: strife,
but by the free expression of their
own chUce, Addressing himself to
the foreign delegates, he welcomed
them cordially to the open arms and
warm hearts of the medical people of
this whole country and greeted them
as a noble brotherhood who, in the
practical pursuit of one grand object
the lessening of human suffering
recognize no distinction of country,
race or creed, but bind up the wounds
of and assuage the pains of the rich
and poor ruler and ruled, Christian
and Pagan, friend and ioe, aliker J
President Davis then traced
Th History m imm vlat f
j HedteaU Bel
from tbe time when it embraced the
fanciful theories and arbitrary dogma
of a few leading minds up to to-day
when the science of medipine has be
come a vast aggregation of observed
facts, many of them so related to each
other as to permit practical ; deduc
t'ons of permanent value, while many
others remain isolated through in
completeness of investigations and
therefore liable to prompt hasty and
even erroneous conclusions, and the
rapid accumulation ot facts furnished
by past members of individual work
ers each pushing investigations in
some special directions without con
cert with his fellows, and without
any adequate conception of the coin
cident lines of observation necessary
to enable him to see the true bearings
of the factd President Davis pointed
to as one of the most defective and
embarrassing features in the present
day in the science and art of medi
cine. Hence the physician is con
s antly mistaking mere coincidences
for the relation xf cause , and effect,
And nafrea bf our ' medical literature
are being filled with hastily formed
fonrtliiRioim and rules!of wactice from
inariAniiAtA data. He then called the
attention of the Congress to the very
important question of J-.

in promoting the science of medicine
by more complete memousoi invesu
gation, especially in directions
where the, ". co-inciient ' actions
of several j persons 4n-& different

vis closed his address by expressing
the hope that tbi-t the nin Hi grand
Internat.onal! Congress held in regu
lar series within little more than two
decades, would do its 'work in bar,
mony and good order, and with such
results as would add much to the ag

New York, Sept. 5. Labor day
dawned bright and clear a more
perfect day could not be desired. The
members of the various trades Union,
and organizations were astir early
and assembled promptly at their res
pective headquarters at the hour ap
pointed. Business is only partly
suspended, and the newspapers pub
lush as Usual with but few exceptions.
All the banks and exchanges are
closed. Since early morning organ
izations, headed by playing bands,
have been marching to and fro on
their way to the starting point of the
great procession. Flags are profuse
ly displayed throughout the city, but
none but the natiorwl
emblem is unfurled. The
processionists have abstain
ed from displaying any: other flag
In no instance has disorderly conduct
been noticed. On the east side of the
city where the Socialistic stronghold
located, all is quiet. The members ot
this faction of the Labor party al
though disgruntled by the edict
against the red flag and . the treat
ment received at-the hands of the
George men, are conducting them
selves quietly. They will aot partici
pate in the parade. They narrowly
watch the Labor organization
known to be in sympathy with
George, but thus far have refrained
from any interference. The police
reserves were all ordered on duty for
ever arrangement for tbe speedy
qu Uing of any outbreak.
The route of the procession is from
Broadway and Thirteenth' Sf. down
Broadway "to Fourth street
to 5th avenue, to 14th street, around
the east side of Union Square past
the reviewing stand to 5th avenue, to
42nd street and dismiss. The printers
were tbe first to put in an organized
appearance. 'They formed at the
corner of 4th street and the Bowery.
They all wore badges and many sport
ed new hats for the occasion. Mar
shall William H. Bairley headed the
line, which turned out 7,000 strong.
It was composed of the "various print
ing trades 1 1 nions ' The line marched
well and made an excellent showing.
Windows and steps along the line of
march were crowded and the crowd
cheered lustily, the paraders return
ing the compliment by dipping the
Ktars and stripes.' Behind the print
er's uoious came other unions, among
which was the horse shoers' wearing
leather aprons and carrying large
broad horse eboes trimmed with gay
colored ribbons. Cigarette girls fol
lowed in carriages and made ciga
rettes, which they threw among tbe
crowd.. It was long after the adver
tised hour (.leu o'clock) when the pi
rade started. A platoon of police
headed the procession, and Graud
Marshal Morrison niounted on a
beautiful, bay charger followed, at
tended by his staff. The procession
comprised every trade, and each and
every one exhibited some emblem of
their trade. The stone cutters had a
big block of granite on their , truck,
and , several stone cutters chiseled
away as they moved on. The bakers
carried. a huge brick oven. on another
truck and were baking bread as the
procession moved along. It was a
picturesque scene all alng the line.
The printing trade section attracted
most attention and was, probably,
the neatest body in the line. The old
Ben Franklin printing press, which
they exhibited in their section, was
one of the attractions. The brewers
wore white hats and shirta; the black
smiths turned out shoes i the brick
layers on a big truck built a wall; the
tailors cut and sewed, and the tobac
co manufacturers ' made cigars. It
was estimated that from 30,000 to 50,-
000 men were in line.

Sending her down stairs she was han

The officer at the main entrance,
thinking she had called for a missine
child, a ked her if she bad found her

The" season rapidly approaches
when the soil should be carefully pre
pared for grain and grass sowinr.
One trouble with many of our far
mers is they do not prepare the soil
soon enough in the fail for their
grain, and of course do not sow the
grain as early as is best. If the land
be properly prepared, the earlier the
sowing is done the better and stronger
the stand will be by cold weather,
and it is not so liable to injury bv
freezing. We hope the good crone
of this year may not cause any of our
farmers to neglect preparations for
next year's crops. These should the
more encourage all to provide for
larger grass and clover crops- Our
people cpn not raise too much grass.
In the raising, they are not only
adding to their money resources, but
benefitting their land. If a man got
twelve bushels of wheat per acre this
year, by early preparation and judg
ment he ought to expect at least
twelve bushels per acre next year.
This is the way to make farming pay
in this country. Do not try to culti
vate more land than you cultivated
this year, but try to so cultivate the
same quantity as to get double the
yield next year. Early and thorough
preparation, l and good seeds well
seeded, will go far towards accom-
pli8ning this, food crops, to turn
under in the green state, are inval
uable. I

will compare favorably with that of
any previous year, and that the office
may be said to - be fairly up with its
current wont, lie emphasizes tbe
necessity for additional room. He
stated that the death of Levi Bacon,

which occurred June 23, last, necea-
sitiia a setuement oi nis accounts.
and an investigation disclosed the
fact that there existed a shortage of

Washinqtok, D. C; Sept. 3. A
rumor was current here to-day that
charges had been preferred at the
Treasury Department, presumably
by tbe Civil Service Association, of
New York, against Cracraft and oth
ers of the Federal office holders, who
were active in the recent Pennsylva
nia convention, at Allentown. Cra
craft, who was' particularly boister-
. a ? m.
ous in asserting nis ngnt as an Amer
ican citizen to take ah active part in
the convention, is an employee in the
Mint at Philadelphia.'.
Dr. Kimball, Director of the Mint
when seen to day by the World cor
respondent, said: "I have not heard
that any charges have been brought
against any of the employees of the
Mint, tnougn l nave seen the criti
cisms mat nave been made upon
their couduc . For myself. I do not
see how tbey bave transgressed any
law, written or unwritten. I have
not read the President's letter to the
office holders with anv ereat care
but I do not think its spirit has been
violated. The case of these officers
is similar to that of Mr. Huceins.
Nothing has happened to hinx.Tlf I
am called noon to investigate : the
matter I will refer the eases to the
superintendent of the Philadelphia
Mint for report. I presume the an
swer will be that these gentlemen
were on leave and not under the - ju
risdiction of the department.' -"

s Washtnoton, Sept. 3. Con&ress
man Mills, of Texas, is booked for
the chairmanship of the Committee
on Ways and Means m place of ex-
congressman William R. Morrison.
Mr. Mills is busUy engaged in the
JLreasury Department in getting ud
statistics for the coming tariff reform
fight in the new Congress. In speak
ing about the prospects of reforming
the tariff, he said: : ; ' -1
. . "I think we will : have' a better
chance for tariff reform this Congress
than we had in the Forty-ninth Con-
kiwbs. is, is true tne democratic ma
jority has been reduced in the House
but it will be more than compensated
by the popular rise of tariff-reform
sentiment all over the country This
win no aouot nave an effect on Rep
resentatives who are not vet classed
for or against a reform tariff. " j
Mr. Mills thinks that Congressman
bcott should have made a stronger
fight for tariff reform at the Pennsyl
vania Democratic convention, - and
Mr. Mills does not think verv much

mise, in an interview with a re
porter of the Washington Posf Mr
Mills is quoted as having given the

"He ought to be placed in the party
to which he belongs. If I were in the
President's place I would nrettv soon
let Randall know, where his place
was. no man wno opoosea mv noucv
should be recognized as belonging to
my party. Then the Speaker of the
House has a duty to perform. It will
be Speaker Carlisle's duty for. of
course, Mr. Carlisle will be the Speak
er again to see that no one but a
Democrat ia put at the head of any
committee of the House of Repre
sentatives. Especially it will be his
duty to see that no opponent of tariff
reform and the other cardinal princi
pals of Democracy be placed at the
head of. a committee of such ' power
and importance as tbe Committee on
Appropriations, if Randall does not
repent before Congress meets and
solemnly declare and engage to be a
Democrat for the future, he should
be left out amonz the Republicans in
the organization of House commit
tees." ''-'.-'.!
