After starting out with the statement that tuberculosis existed here among the Indians long before the advent of the white man, and was, In fact, quite prevalent among all the tribes, Dr. Mllher presents charts and figures of the death rate from the disease in this.state since careful stil- tlstics have been compiled. which show from the starting of the chart ill l849. while the general death rate has i11- creased.

Russia and France have reached an agreclllept 011 '11 program to be sub- 111ittcd to the other powers as a basis for discussion by the proposed Enro- pcun conference to settle the Balkan situation. The proposals to be laid be- fore the powers areelght lil number. The first is to the effect that arti- cles l to 22 of the Treaty of Berlin. which relate to Bulgaria and Eastern Rumclia, shall be replaced by stipula lions recognizing the independence of Bulgaria as at present constituted. and determining the financial obllkaiions 11f Bulgaria toward Tulkey. New clauses probably will settle adso the question of the Oriental Railway. The second and tbird_propals are that the powers shall tlfke note of the annexation by Austria- Hungary of Bos- nia and Herzegovina and the return of the Sanjak of Noyipazar to ’I 111 key 23 Pf the Tiesty of Berlin by clauses gnizing the annexation of Crete to Calms and determining the financial obi, gallons of Greece. in respect to Crete. toward Turkey. It is under- stood that the four powers ulld whose protection Crete has been. Ru sis, Great Britain, France arid Italy. will settle the Cretan question In concert with Turkey before. referring it to the conference. It is proposed also that 111.. second part of aitlcle 23 of the Berlin Treaty. which provides special regulations for the gavernmcnt of other parts of En ropean Turkey, shall cease to have force when the powers ale assured that at. sat factory settlement has been effect The fifth propodal is to the effect that arrangements similar II) the above shall apply to the Almenian pro1 laces of Turkey. Tile sixth article deals with Monte- neglo. The Montelle‘grin rights of sovereigulty his limited by article 29 of the Treaty of Berlin.

The seventh point Is the statement that it is desirable to seek and compensation to Servia and Mon e cm by a rectification 0f the Bosnian and Hersegovinian 1 11111 r11 adjoining ~Novipilsar. This is taken to Imply that a stri will be taken from the territory allnexed by Austria: Hun- Earl'- The eight articles of the program are followed by a declaration that as the new ottoman constitution fore- shadows a remodeling of Turkish leg- islation in conformity with the princi- ples of other European states. the powers are prepared to consider in concert with Turkey, so soon as these refurms are realised the best means of doing away with capitulgtlons.
