PORTLAND, Oct. 23.-[special.l Never before

a sewerage system it is today. The fail
ure OF the city to build sewers has
resulted IN an unusual amount OF sick
ness. Typhoid and scarlet fever pre-
vaiis to an alarming extent. The
most sadly afflicted locality is sunnyside
Here dread disease is induced and ag-
gravated by the constant flow OF offal
ana deleterious matter which flows from
the Portland hospitals at the rate OF
over 1000 gallons per day. Just south OF the
hospital and about block from the
building the drainage pipe termn-

hospital authorities bored two cess-pools seven
feet in diameter and forty feet deep. 1t was sup
posed the earth would absorb all the moisture but
unfortunately the clay is impervious and in
a short time the eesspools were filled AMI

from the northwest the disease-laden
aroma was waited throughout the entire
settlement. carrying with it wide
spread sickness and death As result there are
over twenty cases OF typhoid and scarlet fever
now under treatment at Sunnyside. Parties
who live near the infected spot are compelled TO

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct 23--TSpecial. l--For
the past few weeks matters in Chinatown
in this city have been getting sensational,
and tomorrow's Colonist will publish
long account of the criminal proceedings
II has unearthed among leading mer-
chants with regard to the traffic in
Chinese women. By the last two
steamers from China. the Batavia and En-
press OF China, no less than nine girls
were brought here for sale. One unfor-
tunate girl, little more shan a child, was
sold for S1,300. and touters have been
busliy engaged to sell the other six.
Meanwhile, before they accomplished
this object, to prevent losing money by
waiting, they have been forcing these girls
to lead life of shame, subjecting them to
all kinds of cruelties to compel them to
give way. They are mere children, some
only ii years old, and all are under 90
Most OF the girls are very pretty and intel
hgent, but when discovered they were
thoroughly cowed by shame and ill-treat-
ment.
1t has been ascertained. too, that several
merchants here have entered into an agree
ment with a Chinese theatrical company
to fetch over twenty or thirty girls, young
and attractive, for immoral purposes and
subsequent sale at high prices.
The facts unearthed prove that for years
many Cinnamon have been making for
tune out of this trade in humanity, and
several of them have, during that time,
practiced great cruelties to the women.
The custom-house has been attempting to
stop this importation, but no firm action
by them being taken, the matter was worse
than ever.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union will take the matter up and en-
ploy detectives and interpreters regardless
of expense to bring matters to a head
and arrest the guilty parties. They
have received permission from the col
lector of customs to question any woman
on the steamers from China in his office
and have got official assurance that if they
can find any trace of crime he will send all
the women back

Auditor Reed Undecided as to the
Cnurse He VIII Fursue.

OLYMPIA. Oct. 2&.-[special l-Auditor Reed
said today relative to the militia warrants that
he had not fully determined to not issue any
military warrants before decision is reached
in the university warrant case. His own opn-
ION is that the warrants can be legally drawn on
the militia fund, but as some question has been
raised as TO their validity, he suggested to Gen
eral O'Br.en that he would prefer not to issue
any more until the supreme court has acted on
the university question. That is the condition
of the matter at present. Ii the supreme court
decision should be deferred for any length of
time, Mr.. Reed will probably decide to resume
the issuance OF militia warrants.
