Thc President Addresses the Tuberculosis Congress PRAISES GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS Great Meeting of Scientists Adjourns to Assemble Next at Rome-Presi dent Speaks. Washington, D." C., Special.-The International Tuberculosis Congress, which has been in session here closed Saturday to meet next in Rome. One of the most pleasant surpirses of the closing scenes of the congress was the appearance for the first time during its proceedings of President Roosevelt. In a characteristic address President Roosevelt paid a notable tribute to the assemblage of so many scientists of intcnational reputation. The President spoke in part as fol lows : "It is difficult for us to realize the extraordinary changes, the extraordi nary progress, in certain lines of so cial endeavor during (he last two or three generations; and in no other manifestation of human activity have the changes been quite so far-reach ing as in the ability to grapple with disease. It is not so very long, measuring time by history, since the attitude of man towards a disease such as that of consumption was one of helpless acquiescence in what he considered to be the mandates of a supernatural power. It is but a short time since even the most gifted members of the medical profession knew as little as any lavman of the real cause of a disease like this, and therefore necessarily of the remedies to be invoked to overcome it. "Take, for instance, the work that the United States government is now doing in Panama. The Isthmus of Panama,' which was a by-word for fatal disease, has become well-nigh a sanatorium; and it has become so because the investigations of certain medical men which enabled them io find out the real causes of certaiu diseases, especially yellow fever and malarial fever, and to take measures to overcome them. The. older doc- ? tors here when they were medical ] students would have treated the sug gestion of regarding mosquitos as the prime source of diseaes like thai ( as a subjeet of mirth. These utterly j unexpected results have followed pa- ] tient laborious, dangerous and extra srdinary skillful work that has en abled the cause of the disease to be I Pound and the diseases themselves io ( ae combatted with extraordinary sue- ( :ess. ( "At this moment in the middle of 1 "And the chance to control that I lisease lies in the work of just sueh j nen as. and indeed, of some of the nen who, are assembled here. Yon 1 who have come here, however, have j, ?ome to combat not a scourge confin ed to the tropics, but what is on th? whole the most terrible scourge of the j people throughout the world. But i few years ago hardly an intelligent , ?ffort was made or could be made to war against this peculiarlv deadly "c ?nemy of the human race. The chance x successfully to conduct that war a- ^ rose when the greatest experts in ? the medical world turned their train ed intelligence to the task. It re- j mains for them to find out just what can be done. "I feel that no gathering could , take place fraught with greater hope- J for the welfare of the people at large ( than this. I thank you all. men and women of this country, and you, our guests, for what yon have done and are doing. On bphnlf of the nation 1 I greet you, and I hope you will un- 1 derstnnd how much we have appro- j ciated your coming here. Tennessean^ Brutal Crime.

London Hears News From Severa Sources That Two Crises Are ITU pending Which May Force Hostib ties in the Near Future. London, By Cable.-Events whicl threaten to change the political fae. of Europe are crystalizing with ligbr ning rapidity. Almost over night th horizon of the Near East, which seemed gradually to be assuming : peaceful appearance, has beconv crowded with war clouds. News has reached here from sev eral sources that two definite stroke* are impending which cannot fail tc bring matters to a crisis, and perhap* Torce an immediate war. One is th proclamation by Prince Ferdinand if the independence of Bulgaria which will ineuude Rumelia, taki ro tor himself the title of "Czar." Tb? )ther is an announcement of Austro dungary of the practical annexatios )f the provinces of Bosnia and Her :egovina as appendages of the Austro lungarian crown.
