During all of this plague heather pro.
cessions have o tantly marched
through the streets of Canton through-
out the night pounding gongs. expiod-
ing irecrackers, exposing idols, and
other similar doings, supported by con.
t 'lbutions from the shot, and stores,
to propitiate the evil spirits and to dis
pore the adverse elements. Among its
latest victims are Capt. Vesey and two
privates of the Shropshire regiment,
who caught tn dread disease while en-
gagged in sanitary duties in the Chinese
quarter. Ali three were strong mon,
but despite the efforts of the doctors
they were carried off in a few hours.
No treatment that has yet been dis
covered has had the slightest effect
upon the disease. The death of these
mon c~onclusively proves that the plague
is not a curse which falls upon Chi.
nese alone. as was at first thought, but
Is o contagious disorder, if it Is not
highly infectious.
Numerous orders hare been pub
lished In the Government gazetts en-.
joining sanitary measures, such as
whitewash ng and cleaning the drains
OF their dwellings, but, is might be
expected, scarcely any notice was taken
by the natives, who herd together ic
Hong Kong under conditions that
won d be tolerated in no civilized
country in Europe or America. The
richer Chinese have left the colony
and come to the coast ports, the arriv-
ais at Shanghai alone being often aCO
q day. Fully a quarter of the native
popuiation has thus fled from the
plague.stricken COLONY.

swept across the Sea of Azov Saturday.
1t will be impossible for days yet, SAYS
o st. Petersburg dispatch, to compute

tain that at least 1000 persons have
persisted, some by drowning, others by

the American colony in this city, for
II is feared that at lca t two parties of
American tourists welo on the sca of
Azov at the time tho wind did its
deadly work.
The wind wa first felt at Nogaisk.
Nogaisk is peoplel mostly by fisherman,
who were out on tho water. When the
hurricane had swept out to the north O

village was RACED, overturned-as if IN

the Sea OF Azov were dashed to such u
height that it was plain that every

have been unusually wide. for at Mar

AGAINST ANARCHISTS.
Tho senate's Sweeping Blu Restricting
immigration.

The senate's Sweeping Bill Restricting
Immigration.
The Senate bill for the exclusion OF
anarchists from this country and their
deportation in case they should enter
it is one that will meet with general
approval. There has been no law to
prevent the landing of anarchists, and
should the gates be left open the
stringent measures recently adopted in
Europe for the restriction of anarchy
would flood this country with men Of
the Most and Cesario type. But under
the new law there Wilt no room here
for the long-ha' red, unwashed advo-
c,!tes OF lawlessness and murder.
Tho measure provides that no alien
anarchist shall be permitted to land
in the United States: that in the event
of II landing he shall be deported to
the country whence he came at the en-
pense OF the importing vessel; that in
the case of a foreigner tried for any
crime or misdemeanor. it shall be the
province of the court to investigate
his character. and if the court is sat-
isfed that he is no a man of good
character, OF that he is not we'll dis
posed to the good order and happiness
of society, he shall be deported to the
country whence he came at tho en-
pense of the United States; should he
return. he shall be arrested and SEN
fenced to confinement in tho peniten-
tiary for a period not exceeding four
years, and afterward be again deport-
ed. 1t further provides Tor the ap-
pointment ut foreign ports of inspect
ors to examine passengers embarking
for the United States, and an appro-
priation of $40. 900 is made for the pur-
pose. The fact that an alien has de-
clared his intention of becoming a citi-
zen shall not protect him from proceed
ings under the act.

A recent "Railway Symposium in

extended series of very interesting art.
icles upon railway development in this
country, one upon "Palace Cars" by
DIR. William Seward Webb, president
Of the Wagner Palace Car Company.
He describes the hotel, dining, and
restaurant r in attractive terms.
He does not indicate, however, that
these cars do much to increase in
furious drinking facilities for travellers.
All the more that the environment is
aesthetic and attractive are the railway
drink purveyors doing much, and in
an influential way, to promote and ex-
tend injurious social drinking usages.
To their credit it should be said that
they notify their patrons that no intox-
icants will be served in prohibition
States. While most of the Leading
railroads now require abstinenc on the
part of their employees. while on duty,
SO also should all liquor-selling in
palace cars be abolished.

Cause of Insanity.

Intemperance in drink heads the
list of physical cause of insanity, and
domestic trouble and grief the moral
causes, but out of over 1000 cases Of
insanity We find intemperance in drink
the cause of 577 cases, or 27.4 per cent.
and domestic trouble and grief in only
70 cases, or "a per cent. There can
be no doubt that i~ntemperance in
drink induces insanity in fully % pc.
cent. of all the insane cases in the
United States, either directly or in
directly. II is also responsible for
very much of the imbecility and idiocy
of the offspring of incorporate par
ents. Fifty per cent. of all our idiots
and imbeciles are without doubt the
offsprings of drunkards. Where
strong liquors are increasingly con-
sumed We find a proportionate amount
Of alcoholic insanity. Where the con-
sumption of alcohol doubles, there we
find the cases of insanity from intem-
perance will rise over SO per cent"

According to an article by DR.. O. r.

is arising on the continent q wave Of
medical opinion in favor of total abstin.
ence from alcoholic drinks. he quotes
from on article by DR.. E. Jordy Of
Berne the following items from which
show the current of medical opinion:
In 1893 one in seventeen deaths
which occurred in Switzerland were
ascribed to drinking habits Gncluding
women and c%hildren.)
DIR. Speyer says that one-eighth Of
the insane in public asylums were sent
there from alcoholism.
In the Zurich Lunatic Asylum one
fourth Of the cases we're ascribed to
drink.
DIR. Beer, a well-known writer in
German prisons, alleges that A. per
cent. Of the prisoners were intemper-
ate.
MI. Otto Lang found that SO per
cent. of the crimes committed in 2 ur-
ich were due to drink.
Professor Strumpnell, of Erlangen.
says that alcohol has ON evil influence
in the causation of most diseases. and
is the ruling cause of dyspepsia in
adults.
The noted professors of physiology,
Gaule in Berne. Hertzen in Lausanne,
Bunge in Basic, and Schif in Geneva,
are total abstainers from alcohol.
Mr.. Brassey found that barrow men
who avoided alcohol could do as much
work in 81 hours as non-abstainers
could do in 10 hours. Swiss contract
ers find the same true among italian
workmen.
