VANCOUVER b. c., June 13.-The
most important news brought by the
Empress OF Japan Is OF the alarming
spread OF the virulent plague that first
appeared In Canton at the end of April
The plague is similar to the great plague
in London, In the sixteenth century, and
is carrying off large numbers of VIC
Tins. 1t soon spread to Hong Kong, APP
pearing there In May. 1t Is chiefly con-
fined to the Chinese. The plague has
paralyzed business to large extent,
as the leading steamship lines refuse to
take either passengers or cargo from
Hong Kong. The symptoms of the dis
ease are as follows:
Without warning, in the shape Of
chill, there is a sudden attack of fever rls-

is accompanied by stupor. In twelve or
twenty-four hours glandular swelling
occurs In the neck or armpit. increasing
to the size OF an egg. With or without
the decline Of fever the patient sinks
into a condition of coma and dies at the
end OF twenty-four or forty-eiGht hours.

They rank as plebeians, but have quite as

Parsnips in batter are excellent. Cook
