THE CHINESE AND THE RESURRECTION.

1t having been reported that some
Chinese were actively interested in
the late unpleasantness, against the
government, inquiry has been made
with the following result.
The report said that band of five
hundred Chinese were armed and
prepared to rise and assist Wilcox
at the right moment; also that L.
Ahlo was present at one of the meet
ings of the conspiritors, and was
aware of what was going on. and
gave his approval thereto.
When the fact became known on
the morning of the Both that Wilcox
with his men was in possession of
the palace and government building,
the following notice was at once con
spiciously posted in several places
in Chinatown.
'There is now going on, a riot at the
palace. We earnestly request all Chi
nese to mind their own business and not
to involve themselves in any manner
with the rioters and to keep away from
the neighborhood of the scene of the
riot.
Dated July 80, 1889.
BY order of the
UNITED CHINESE SOCIETY"
Whether in consequence of this or
not, it is fact that the Chinese kept
out of the way and We're quiet dur
ing the riot.
Hearing Of the report relative to
L. Ahlo and about the armed band,
the United Chinese Society held a
meeting on Tuesday, August 9th, and
appointed a committee of six respon-
sible men to inquire into the mat
ter. The report was made the fol-
lowing day to the Society. It was,
that the most careful and diligent
inquiry showed that no such band
existed; that on the contrary, the
Chinese had nothing to do with the
affair, had no connection with it or
with the actors therein, and had no
knowledge of it except by way of
rumor in common with the general
public. It was also ascertained that
the report relative to AhIo was
wholly untrue In fact, so far as
could be ascertained, no Chinese at !
all had any connection whatever,
with the rioters and kept wholly
aloof.
We are authorized to make the
statement and deem it no
more than proper that it should be
made in justice to the Chinese.

STATE poARp OF HEALTH.


The Secretary of the State Board of
Health has just Issued his sixteenth an-
nual report. The first part of the report
consists of compilation Of meteorolo2i-
cal conditio IS, and a contribution to the
study Of the causes of sickness, based on
weekly reports of sickness by phys Clans
in the State. Probably the most impor-
tant article in the report is paper by
DIR. Baker, in which reports Of sickness
and meteorological conditions are SO
grouped as to show the relation OF certain
meteorological conditions to diseases of
the lungs and air passages This paper
not only presents evidence concerning
these diseases in Michigan but also in the
United States armies, in the native
troops of India, and in London, En-
gland, for q period OF thirty years.
These facts, gathered over wide areas,
seem to show that influenza, tonsilitis,
bronchitis, and pneumonia have one con-
trolling cause, viz, the inhalation of cold,
dry air. The paper explains the order Of
succession of the cold-water diseases
from simple caryza, or common cold, to
pneumonia. Tables aud diagrams are
also presented showing that few of the
communicable diseases, which, as a rule,
gain access to the body through the air
passages, are qusntitatively related to
the atmospheric temperature, almost in
variably rising after the temperature
falls and falling after the temperature
rises. DIR. Bakers explanation of this is
that the albuminous exudations which
result from the inhalation Of air colder
than usual supply place favorable for
the reception and reproduction of the
specific germs of these diseases. Other
articles in the report deserving special
mention are a document giving rules
concerning the prevention AMI re-
striction of smallpox, a report on alleged
nuisances in Michigan, and especially
paper on communicable disease in Mich
igan during the year. The reports COM
piled in this last article chow that in
those outbreaks of scarlet fever and diph-
liberia in Michigan in which isolation and
disinfection Gas recommended by the
State BoardD were neglected, there were
four to five times as many cases and
de lths as in those outbreaks where these
precautions were taken. The evidence is
all the stronger because it is in harmony
with the fmcts collected during the pre-
vio1s year. Together, they indicate a
saving during the two years o. IL, $50
cases and l 1855 lives by restrictive meas
ures in these two diseases.

The condition of the logs in the
stream is unchanged, says an East Sag
inaw special. Driving, where at all prac-
ticable, is done by sheer force, flooding
by means of dams, and many roll-ways
have not been broken yet. 1t IL pretty
clearly settled that fully 25 per cent. of
the logs put in win not come out in time
to be available for this seasons manu-
facture, and, rs the quantity put in was
rs per cent. below that of last year, il
mems that there will be shortage of so
per cent. in the lumber production this
season as compared with last. The lum-
Der market has developed more activity,
and number Of million feet have been
sold lately. Dry stocks are pretty we'll
sold up. A large commission dealer says:
"The market is oil right. and all indica-
cations point to a good year. have
bought 100000 feet within week, and
10000. 900 within the past two months.
and paid full last seasons prices with a
slight advance for some stocks" Box
lumber is particularly firm, sales having
been made at $ll@1l.50 per thousand.
Thick lumber is also wanted, and l,000,-
900 feet of wide stocks were sold recently
at SIS, straight measure. Shingles are
steady at $l.75@2 for clear butts and
$30D3.30 for xxx. Lath are firm at $l.65.
The extraordinary low stage of water in the
river causes considerable inconvenience
TO vessels in getting into the lumber docks
and ships to load. 1he Tittabawassee
Boom Company is rafting out $4,000
logs daily. Proposals will be opened early
in June for the purchase of 10000, 900 feet
of timber belonging to the Hoy estate in
Gladwin County. The timber was early
selections, very choice. and the predic-
tion is that it will bring So stumpage, or
nearly half a million for the lot. The
trouble in getting out logs in streams will
result in an unusual amount of summer
logging. Arrangements have thus far
been perfected to put in some $4,000, 900
feet TO be rallied to the Saginaw River.
