snreading to this city have been successful
SO far. for not a single case exists here.
The board is also working in unison with
the state board and the boards OF all the
other cities to prevent the disease from
crossing the boundary.
Health Officer Sparling continued the
examination of passengers on all trains
and steamers coming in from the north.
When the Premier arrived from Whaicom
and Vancouver yesterday afternoon a. 3
o'clock. he boarded her with an assistant.
The Fast Mail" theatrical troupe were on
board, and ten OF them, two Of whom were
women. had TO submit to having the virus
put in their arms before they could land.
They submitted gracefully. The doctor
also boarded the Great Northern and Lake
Shore trains when they approached the
city last evening and vaceinated number
of the passengers.
All the steamboats, hare strictly OBJ
served the quarantine so far. though IL is
q great in convenience to transportation
companies and shippers generally.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Companv's
vessel Umatilla has gone TO the various
other Sound ports on her route. She
touched at Victoria coming in Monday,
and may touch AT the outer wharf going
out tomorrow, but no one will be allowed
to 20 near the vessel from shore. The
City of Puebla, which is now on the way
up, will not touch Mt Victoria, but will
discharge all her perishable freight for
that port az Port Townsend. The City of
Topeka, which came in from Alaska yes
rcrday, did not touch there, but went di-
rect 10 Port Townsend, Captain Wallace
having received instructions at Vancouver
by telegram from Superintendent John
son.
The City OF Kingston was laid up yes
terday and the North Pacific went ont in
her place. The latter is much cheaper to
run, and, as the only object in running at
ali is 10 carry the mail, she answers the
purpose just as well. H. W. Baker & Co.
expect the Haytien Republic in today. but
it is a question whether she will be al
lowed 90 land. She went to Nanaimo
from Victoria after the quarantine had
been declared. She has quite an amount
of freight for Seattle from Vancouver and
can not very conveniently leave on her
trip To Portland without discharging it, as
it would all have 10 be rehandled
On the railroads precautions are also be-
ing taken. Nearly al! of the employees of
the Great Northern have been yaccinated.
The following bulletin was sent out, yes
terdav by superintendent Kline, of the
Lake Shore:
Al Employees Local surgeons of this company
have been instructed to vaccinata all e,npioyes
who may call upon them for that purpose, aad

Seattle are particularly requested to have this
done. Health officers of the city OF Seattle will
board trains OF this company, and conductors
will aid them In every way possible in order
that there may be no eases brought into the city
over our line
The school board last evening took steps
TO guard against the disease in the city
schools by issuing notice:
TO Al Parents, Guardians ard Others Faseres,ed;
That successful vaccination VIII be re-
quired IS a condition az school membership

Further precautions are being taken to
