Washington, Sept. s.—Before the hour for opening the International Medical Con gress every seat in Albough’s Opera House was occupied. The orchestra and orchestra circle had been reserved for members of the congress. Ladies were in a considerable majority in the dress circle, and the gentle men in the upper gallery. The private boxes were filled by the wives and families of the officers of the congress. President Cleveland, Secretary Bayard and Speaker Carlisle were escorted by Dr. Garnett to a seat upon thestageat 11 o’clock, and were greeted with applause by the au dience. The assemblage was called to order by Prof. Henry M. Smith, of Philadelphia, chairman Of the Executive Committee. He said that to welcome the distinguished guests of the profession and show nis in terest in great humane objects, the Presi dent of the United States had consented to open the congress for organization. He had the honor to announce Hon. Grover Cleve land, President of the United States of America. The President arose, bowed to the assemblage, and when the applause had subsided said: 1 feel that the country should be emigrate lated to-day upon the presence at our capital of so many of our own citizens and those repre sem Ing’for.-iffii countries, ivlio Ua\ e dist iuguisbed rhemselves In the science of medicine and are devoted to its further progress. .My duty ou this occasion is a very pleasing nd very brief one. It is simply to declare the Ninth Interna tional Medical Congress now open for organiza tion and the transaction of business. NOMINATING THE OFFICERS. ■ The chairman of the Executive Committee iLen proceeded to nominate the gentlemen agreed ujioii by the committee to be the of ficers of the congress. “For the high office of the President of the congress,'’ he said, “the committee unanimously nominate to you one widely known as a scientific practi tioner, an able teacher and medical author, Dr. Nathan Smith Davis, of Chicago.” Dr. Davis having been unanimously elected by acclamation, the chairman ap pointed Dr. Francesca Duranth, of Italy, and Deputy Surgeon Gcffry A Marston, of Her Britunic Majesty’s Army, a committee to escort him to the chain Dr. John B. Hamilton. Supervising Sur geon General of the United Whites Marine Hospital Kervii*, having been nominated and unanimously elected Secretary General of the congress, took his place and nomi nated the goutlemen agreed upon as the Vice Presidents of the congress, who were elected. The list contains a hundred or more name-. The only American, in the list are the ex-Presidents of the American Medical Association and the surgeons gen eral of the army and navy. The foreigners on the list include all who came as delegates from their respective governments, together with many othei's of distinction. The President of the congress put the question, and thegeutlemen named w ere elected in the usual manner by accla mation. THE FIRST CLOUR. A delegate—Mr. President, I would like to ask, sir, if it is proper to elect as Vice Presidents those who are not members of the congress'. f pretest, and move to amend. President Davis—lt is hardly proper to interrupt the proceedings now. It was ini Possible to know who would be here in per son. The gentlemen named were notified and all accepted the places. The list as read is elected, and I have the honor to invite the \ ice Presidents to scats on the stage. Doctors William B Atkinson, of Phila delphia, George Byrd Harrison, of Wash ington, and Henry Bargs, of Prance, were elected associate Secretaries . Dr. E. S. P. Arnold, of New York, Treasurer; Dr. Rich ard G. Dunglin, of Philadelphia. Chairman of the Finance Committee; Dr. Henry N. Smith, of Philadelphia, Chairman of the Executive Committee; and Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett, of Washington, Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements. Presidents of the various sections were elected and the Secretary General read his rejiort. NOT TO BE A LL WORK. Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett, Chairman of the Committee o:i Arrangements, announced the social programme for the rengress. It includes a conversazione this evening at the Pension Office, ail informal reception by President and Mrs. Cleveland to-morrow, a lawn party by Hon. Josiah Dent, a recep tion by Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, a re ception and buffet banquet at the Pension Office, a visjt. to Mount, Vernon upon a United States vessel and an excursion to Niagara Kalis He said it, was a source of regret and embarrassment that the month of September had Iwen selected for the cong* -.and the committee felt it its duty to explain the nlisence of that boundless hospitality for which Washington tv a, so w idely known. It was, lie said, due to the absents- from the city of so many of those who were at other seasons wont to open their doors to visitors. SECRETARY BAYARD'S ADDRESS. President Davis now introduced Hon. Thomas F. Bayard. Secretary of State of the United States, who welcomed the con gress in the following address: Gentlemen of the International .Medical Con grew: rne pleAximr duty has hern assigned to me of String expression, in (he mime nl' my fellow countrymen, in the gratification felt by us all dial you should have selected tlii.i i-oimtry to he 'he scene of file ninth congress, and cordially to hid you welcome.

To the public spirit and be nevoleuce of such individuals is due the endow ment, on a scale that princes may envy, but have neve - surpassed, of schools of science, col leges and universities, open for intellect-mi training and the advancement of all who desire to share and are competent to receive such benefits. Your congress is held, gentlemen, in the closing year of the first century of our national existence, and what has been here accomplished in the line of scientific edi fication and equipment, owes compara tively little to official governmental assis tance. To no system of prescriptive privilege, but to individual energy, enterprise and generosity, we owe what under God we now possess of such things, and non-interference by the governments has proved a promotion and not a hindrance in our advancement. Busy in every department of industrial pur suit, engrossed with diversified occupations, and hurrying with a breathless energy that has left its traees upon the physiognomy of our people, vet, believe me, we are not deaf to the calls of humanity nor lacking in appre ciation and grateful respect for the votaries of science. We welcome t his congress as guardians of the sanitation of nations. In your profession we recognize the noblest school of human useful ness, and in the progress of the development of the law s of cure, mitigation of suffering, pro longation of human existence, and efforts to discover true principles and ecnli tions by which life can be made “worth living, ’’ we have learned to appreciate our debts to those w hose highest reward is "still small of gratitude” and consciousness of the benefactors to the human race. Gentlemen, I confidently promise your con vention a worthy audience, nut alone the mem bers of your profession here assembled nor the limited number whom this building can contain, but that vaster audience to whom,upon t he wings of electrical force, your message will be daily borne far and wide to the listening ear of more than OO.OOtt.nOO of American citizens. Sure urn 1 that your message will be worthy, and equally t hat your thoughtful deliverances will lie wel comed by the continent. The closer relations of mankind which modern invention has in duced. have been necessarily accompanied by increased dissemination of disease, and the need is obvious of frequent international conference, that in the grand sweep of scientific observation new discoveries in the healing art may lie promptly tested ami applied in counteract ion. Forgive if. as one of the great army of patients, 1 humbly petirlouthe profession that, in your deliberations, nan,: ■ may be allowed a hearing when remedies are proposed; that here, vis medu-atrix may not" tie omitted in computing the forces of cure, and that science niai lie v striated as often as possible to somidiia, I alarm for nature to hasten, as she surely permitted, to the defense of point assailed. My duty is very simple. :u,u tear 1 have already overstepped its limit, for t here was. indeed, little, more for me to say. t hail to repeat the words of the ancient dame whose college was close by the battlefield of Waterloo, and being somewhat deaf, and hearing the sound of the artillery when the famous -‘pound ing” was hardest., thought she heard someone knocking at her doorami simply stiid "come in This may seem an unscientific illustration of auscultation and percussion, but you need not make half the noise of Wellington or Bonaparte, aud I can assure you that the American people w ill hear you and heartily say to you as I do for them, “Come in.” SPEECHES IN REPLY. The welcome was acknowledged and re sponded to briefly by Dr. William Harris Lloyd, Inspector General of the Royal Navy on behalf of Great. Britain, Dr. laon Laforfce, of Paris, on behalf of France, Prof. P. G. Unna, of Hamburg, on the part of Germany, -Senator M. Zennnala, of Naples, for Italy, and Sir Charles Reyner, of St. Petersburg, representing the Govern ment of Russia Dr. Unna spoke in Ger man, and Drs. Jsemmala and Laforce in French. President Davis, ha ving called one of the Vice Presidents to the chair, proceeded to deliver his opening address. The presiding officer proposed a vote of thanks to Prof. Davis, which was enthusiastically accorded, and then he announced the congress ad journed till 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. A LITTLE FRICTION. There has been but one case of friction in the proceedings, so far as has been learned. Some days ago a committee invited Dr. Francisco Durante, of Rome, to answer in the name of Italy to the welcoming address. Later, when Senator Sentinola arriv ed, he claimed it as a right that he should make tlie re.qionse, representing the government of Italy. The committee felt constrained to make a change, aud notified Prof. Durante. This gentleman is much offended and has withdrawn front the congress. He claims that lie, and not Senator Seminole, is the representative of the Italian government. 5,000 IN THE CITY In round numliers it, is estimated that the invading army of doctors and the families accompanying them, now contains aliout 5,000 individuals The work of registration is still in progress, and exact figures are not yet attainable. Of- these nine-tenths are Americans. The papers to lie read will cover every subject of interest to the medical profes sion. The "proceedings of the congress and all of the papers read will be printed in English, French and German. There will be thirteen papers on general medicine, thirty-two on general surgery, forty-three on obstetrics, fifty-seven on gynecological subjects, forty-one on anatomy, fifteen on physiology, nine on pathology, twenty-one on ophthalmology, thirty-four on climat ology, forty seven on psychological medi cine and nervous diseases and seven on den tal and aural surgery. HAWAII’S DICTATORSHIP. Much Dissatisfaction Among the Better Classes. Chicago, Sept. 5.—A San Francisco special to the Times says: “Private advices received by steamer from Honolulu state that there is much dissatisfaction among the better class of foreigners at Honolulu on ac count of the military dictatorship which has grown up since the semi revolution in June. This lias extended to the press, news pupers being even forbidden to publish ordi nary court proceedings, such as the trial of Hayseldiug. ex-Preinier Gibson’s son-in-law. So great was this terrorism that not a single journal in Honolulu dared to reprint the comments of the American newspaper* on tlie revolt in Hawaii, although everyone was eager to got copies to see for themselves what was said. Hu-inexs continues dull owing to a sense of insecurity and unrest, it is tacit I v admitted that the new constitu tion is not'a final settlement of the points at issue. _ A Razor Taken from Parsons. Chicago, Sept. ft.—Under orders from Sheriff Matson, tlie cells of all the prison ers in the county jail were searched yester day. In the cell occupied by A. R. Parsons, the Anarchist, was found a razor. This was pounced uimn by the officers. Paivms claimed that lie had it for (he pur|ioae of shaving himself, lint the piece of steel was confiscated nevertheless, although the con deuined Anarchist cursed and swore when it was taken from him.

SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER H, 1887. SIX SCORE BURN ED ALIVE FRIGHT ENDS IN A JAM IN A BURN ING THEATRE. The Corpses of 130 People Already Removed from the Ruins All the Victims Were Oceupants of the Gal leries—Every Actor and Actress Es capes. London, Sept. 5.—A theatre at Exeter ! took fire this evening during the perform- ! ance of the “Romany Rye.” The occupants j of the pit, after an awful struggle, escaped, j but many of them were greatly injured. There was only one exit from the gallery, and the rush there was terrific. Scores were trodden under foot and suffocated. A tire escape was brought to a window and many inside were rescued. Sixty corpses have been removed. The injured survivors were sent to a hospital. The mortality is esti mated at 100. THE BORNEO STRUCTURE. London, Kept, fi, 'J a. m —The structure burned was the Theatre Royal. It. was built after the latest designs and was elaborately fitted, being considered one of the prettiest in the kingdom. There was -i full house, and everything was all right until tlie end of the third act, at 10:50 o’clock, when the drop scene fell, and in u moment the whole stage was a mass of fire. A wild panic ensued. The occupants of the stalls, pit and dress circle escaped after dreadful crushing, many being badly bruised. THE ACTORS ESCAPE. The actors and actresses were in their dressing rooms when the fire began and all escaped The lire originated in the flies and spread rapidly, filling the theatre with dense smoke. The occupants of the upper circle and gallery rushed to the windows scream ing frantically. Many jumped from win dows and were injured. (Khers were rescued with the aid of ladders from verandas. ALL THE CITY LIGHTED. The fire blazed fiercely, lighting the whole city. People were sodu flocking to the scene in thousands inquiring for friends. The scene inside the theatre when the fire broke out was an awful one. Koine men implored the audience to be cool but it was impossible to check the frantic rush. The theatre hose was brought into use in a few minutes, but the water had little effect on tlie flames. The actors and actresses were taken from windows with theaid of ladders. They lost everything except what they wore at the time. 130 BODIES RECOVERED. Up to the present time 130 bodios have been recovered. They are almost unrecog nizable. Thirty injured survivors have been taken to the hospitals. The (ire burned throughout the night. The search for bodies proceeds slowly. In many cases every slired of clothing is burned off and the bodies look black and raw. HOW IT STARTED. There are various reports as to the origin of the fire. It is only certain that the flames broke out in the scene shifters' department. Those who escaped say that a special exit was promptly opened. Tlie fire brigade arrived five infinites after the breaking out of the flames, but the efforts of the firemen were without effect. There were several thrilling scenes. A majority of the victims were men and hoys. About thirty women were burned. ROASTED IN A MASS. When the fire started the drop scene was lowered to prevent draught. Some of the actors opened a door to escape, causing the fire to burst through the drop scene and ignite the gallery. The flames overtook the people who were wedged in an immovable muss and roasted them to death. Many who were rescued alive died soon after being brought out of the burning building. The occupants of the dress circle escaped without serious harm. UNDER CONTROL. London, Kept, fi, 5 a. m.—A telegram from Exeter at 5 o'clock this morning says that the tire is under control: only the'walls of the structure are standing. People dis tracted with anxiety are wandering about the streets in the neighborhood of the theatre in search of friends who attended last night’s performance. The hospitals are besieged by anxious inquiries for friends. Twenty bad ly burned persons who were admitted to hospitals died a few moments after they were rescued. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. The Stmirhn rt say* that, the sad similarity let ween the Exeter theatre tire and pre vious disasters suggests culpable disregard of the touchings of experience. The News says: “It is safe to say that one effect of this awful disaster will he a general law governing the construction and management of public places throughout the kingdom. After this catastrophe, and that of the Opera Oomique in Pari* we ought surely to require no more warning.” RIOTOUS TIE CUTTERS. A Marshal Kills One of the Gang and the Rest Subside. Chicago, Sept. 5.—A special to the Times from Helena, Ark., says: “Late last night a large number of white tie nutters became intoxicated at Marianna, and raised a dis turbance in the town by cursing and dis charging pistols. Marshal Ford arrested one of their number aud. while on his way to the lockup, the crowd attempted to take the prisoner awnv. Marshal Ford pulled his pistol after the crowd commenced tiring, and when the smoke cleared away one of the rioters was found dead, killed by a pistol ball. Nine of the rioters are now in jail awaiting the ac tion of the court. The prompt and deter mined action of the Marshal prevented a general riot.” SUNDAY BEER IN ST. LOUIS. The Supreme Court to Decide Whether it May Re Sold. Kt. Louih, Sept. s.—Judge Valiant, of the Circuit Court, to-day handed down his opinion regarding the closing of saloons in Kt. l/)ui*on Sunday. The opinion virtually reversed the opinion of Judge Noonan, given about two months ago, and holds that the law of 1857 did not legally jiermit the sale of wine and lieer ill this city on Sunday, and the Sunday law as applied to other part* of Die State ha* always noen applicab.e here.

Washington, Kept. s.—Secretary Fair child i* expected to arrive in Washington to-night. When he left here several days ago it was his intention to remain away at least a month, aud the sudden change in his plans is said to lie due to a de sire ou the part of the President to confer with him in regard to the treatment of the tariff and financial questions in his next annua'- mes sage to Congress.
