Tile committee appointed in San
Francisco to inspect the Chinese quar-
ter of the city has made report, which
says that voracious rats, which are
used by the coolies as an article of food,
abound by the thousands, Sinking
cesspools exist in their easements and
under the floors of their dwellings, and
emit an odor so foul that it is speedily
fatal to Caucasian lungs. The system
of sewerage is utterly inefficient. Foul
ponds of liquid offal abound, and in
them are generated vermin and foul
contagion. But the terror of the coolie
quarter are the blear-eyed hags and
harlots who peer from their wickets
and by signs entice men and women
and Young children into their dens.
Every human being who yields to the
temptation is lost to the world forever"

: Prof. Tyndall thus endeavors to ex-
plain the immunity obtained against a
second attack of Il contagious disease !:
Zone of the most extraordinary and
unaccountable experiences in medicine
was the immunity secured by a single
attack Of a communicable disease
against future attack of the same mala-
dy. Smallpox, typhoid or scariatina,
for example, was found as general
TnIe to occur only once in lifetime of
the Individual, the successful passage
through the disorder apparently rem
dering the body invnlnerable. Reason
ing from anology, | have ,ventured TO
express the opinion that the rarity Of
second attacks of communicable disease
was due to the removal from the sys-
TEN, by the first parasitic crop, or some
ingredient necessary to the growth and
propagation of the parasite"

An Important Decision.

SAN FRANc1sco, August 24.-:Aa i'm
portant decision was rendered. to-day
by Sudge Field. in the United State
Circuit Court, affecting the responsible
ity of the municipality regarding Mont
gomery Avenue bonds, which In the
past have occasioned vast amount 81
litigation. A number of years ago. the
municipal board of public works ordered
the opening up of the thoroughfare
termed Montgomery Avenue, and pro-
vided for the payment of this work BY
issuing bonds, which we're to be liquid
ated by a special taxation on the
property-owners benefited by. the
improvement. The action OF the
board of public works was con-
firmed by a special act OF the legis-
lature. The property owners thus
taxed refused to pay the assessments OF
bondbolders, and then brought suit
against the city and county OF San Fran,
cisco for the payment of the principal
interest bonds. Judge Field holds that.
apart from any action of the legislature
the board of public works was not the
legally authorized agent of the city
that the latter was, therefore, not the
party to the issuance of the bonds and
cannot be held liable for their payment.

A TEA FAMINE PROBABLE.

The supply in This Country Decreasing,
and Nothing Coming from China.
The war between Chira and France
creates great uneasiness among the I'M
porters of tea. BY reason of the block
Ade OF Chinese ports the supply in this
market is becoming limited, and fears
are entertained that this country will be
affected with tea famine.
A member of a ten firm said yester-
day: THE Island of Formosa, upon
which we depend largely for our sup.
ply of black teas, has been blockaded
by the French since September. As a
natural consequence we have been una
BILE to communicate any orders we
might see fit to make to shippers AZ
that point. Therefore, we have received
no invoices since the war began"
"For how long period will the sup
ply we now possess last?"
Il fear we shall be very short Of tea
Lefore Augu unless the blockade is
raised. 1t is to be supposed that the
planters in Formosa are now sowing
their crop. In June they will reap il.
If by that time the French vacatc
Chinese waters we shall have an album
dant supply. Should France, on the
other hand, decide not only to continue
the blockade at Formosa but to cut of
all comm inication with Shanghai. Foo
Chow, and other tea ports, we shall be
forced to call upon Japan"
"Could Japan be depended upon to
furnish us an adequate supplyP"
This country consumes annually in
round figures l00,000,0o0 pounds of
tea. Tie vast majority of this we have
heretofore received from China. Pos
sibly Japan sends lis between 20,000,-
900 and 30. 900, 900 pounds. doubt il
we could depend on her for more than
so, 900, 0JO pound year in the aggre-
gate. You can readily see then that

tons. Tca.pariies would then be rather

Our adv ces to-day say that rs yet there
is no reason for believing that the
Blockade ut Formosa will be raised fol-
some time to come. The other tea
ports have not yet been compelled to
sever communication with us. What
