PLAGUE VISITS CHINA.
Thousands Of Deaths from the Dis
ease that once DepOp-
ulated London.

Vancouver, b. c., June l3.-China has
been visited by plague that is causing
hundreds of deaths daily. Several cities
are infected and the disease has spread to
the rural districts where it is sweeping
a wide path. Advices by the Empress Of
India today are to the effect that the dis
ease is spreading with fearful rapidity
and fatality. The plague is similar to
the great plague in London in the six
teenth century and is carrying off large
numbers of victims 1t first appeared at
Canton and soon spread to Hong Kong,
appearing there in May. 1t is chiefly
confined to Chinese The plague has
paralyzed business to large extent, as
many leading steamship lines refuse to
take either passengers or cargo from
Hong Kong.
some one dead. The plague commenced
in the Mohammedan quarters and 100
deaths are reported daily. From this dis
trict, where the disease is worst, il
spread to the suburbs, and has now
reached the country, and people who fled
there from the city now have nowhere to
go. Idols are being WOrshiped in an ex-
travagant and frenzied manner. At the
last charitable native diSpenSary q no.
tice at the doors states that. up to date
1000 collins have been given away. This
is far below the actual number used.
Sixty thousand is nearer.
On May 10 it was found that the dis
ease had reached Hong Kong, and ener-
Getlc steps were at once taken to cleanse
the infested localities. However, hospi-
tails were opened for the sick and the ship
Hygra was mOored in the harbor for the
accommodation of patients. The Chinese
appeared at first to be inclined to cooper
ate with the authorities in bringing to
light known cases of the plague, but prob
ably because of the heavy mortality they
become more and more distrustful. The
first determined stand against the author
tiles was made May 10, when houses
were Darrlcaded and stones were thrown
at officers making house to house vista
tons. Up to the last reports 1913 cases
occurred and $40 deaths. The schools
have been closed and a panic exists
among the Chinese, many of whom are
fleeing to the main land.
The symptoms of the disease are as fol-
lows: Without premOnitOry warning in
the shape of a chill, there is a sudden on
set of fever rising to 105 degrees or over
There is much headache, accompanied
by stupor. In twelve or fourteen hours
glandular swelling occurs in the neck
or arm pit, increasing to the size of q
fowls egg, being hard and tender. With
or without the decline of fever the pa
tient sinks into a condition of coma and
dies at the end of twenty-four or forty
eight hours. If six days is reached recov-
cry is possible.
In Hong Kong there were eighty-six
deaths from the plague yesterday Nine
British soldiers have been attacked with
the disease and the military authorities
are taking extraordinary precautions to
prevent its further spread among the
troops. The leading Chinese residents
are removing those of the sufferers who
are willing to canton on board of Chinese
gunboats. The exodus of the natives
continues.

COAL NEAR ASHLAND.
Important Discovery Made by Miner
on the Old Copper Range.


on the Old Copper Range.
Ashland, Wis, June ia sensation
has been caused at Brule by the discov-
cry of coal or the banks of the Brule
river on the old copper range. The mat
ter has been kept very quiet the past
two weeks. Application has been made
to the governor for Il reward for the
finding of the mine, and parties are buy
ing up ali the lands in the vicinity of the
discovery. The woods are over-run with
miners prospecting for other mines.
The only discovery that has so far been
made is near the center of section %
opened up and from present indications
will be a large vein, being about forty
feet wide and six feet thick. Coal
miners claim that the prospects are good
for a heavy output of coal, and before
another week teams will be engaged in
removing the dirt and loose rocks pre-
pairing for the drill, which will soon be at
work. A company has been formed of
leading Ashland business men and plenty
of money is behind the enterprise. and it
will be pushed forward with all possible
dispatch.
The discovery was made by NJ. Muir
ray, an old miner, who has been pros
pecting on the copper range for the past
year, with only poor success. To list the
coal three bushels were brought here to-
day and burned in a blacksmith shop.
Iron was quickly heated and the coal
burned as well as could be expected,
it having only been out of the ground
a few hours
There is no doubt but that rich dis
covery has been made and coal will be
mined for the market on the banks of the
Brule river before thirty days. The coal
famine here having nearly stopped navi-
CATION, the find is regarded as significant,
and there is no lack of capital to push the

HARVARD ATHLETICS,
The New Rules Make NudIcnl Reforms.
Professionalism Must Go,

AHc NSW iSuIcS mako HuIicnl ItcfOrmB.
Professionalism Must Go.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. To-day
the new athletic rules, which aro to
purify Harvard athletics, went into full
ctlect. They are tho final product of
many years work by old Harvard
coAchcrs and leaders in her athletics.
The new rules apply with equal severity
to loot ball, base ball and all track
athletics. For years it hns been argued
bv other colleges that professionalism
crops INTO Harvard athletics and is let
20 by the captains because the inolici-
bic men arc stars now.
The primary purpose OF the rules
gong into elect today is to purify all
individual and team athletics from any
tngo OF professionalism. In defining
the term amateur tho rules say no new
students shall be allowed to represent
Harvard IN any public athletic contest
either individually or as a member Of
any team who either before or since en-
tcring the university shall have en-
gagged lor money in any athletic compe-
titloM, whether ior stake or q money
prize, or share OF tho entrance fees or
admission money; or who shall have
taught or engaged in any athletic exer-
else or sport as 4 means OF livelihood.
Again. il speaking Of bonatide stu
dents, no one shall be allowed to rep
resent Harvard in any public contest,
unless ho is and intends 10 be through
out college year bonalide member of
the university, taking iull years work.
VI the time limit there is this regula-
ton: No student, whether he has rep
resented one or more colleges. shall
take part in the intcr-collesi contests
for more than four years; and this
period shall begin with the year in
which as a player upon university
team he first represented any college.
BY these rules many Harvard star
athletes will be thrown out OF playing
the remainder OF this year. Especially
will it weaken tho base ball team.

Democratic Ways nnd Means Committee
men Fail to A.rco on tho Revenue Fcut-
urcs OF tho Wilson Eiii.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. Tho
Democratic members OF tho ways and
means committee met ut the treasury
department at S o'clock tonight to
finally decide upon the income tax
question and the internal revenue feat
urcs OF tho tariff bill.
There were present all except Bynum
OF Indiana. lie excused himself on tho
ground that ho was indisposed. Ills
absence prevented vote on the income
tux question, and after u session OF
throc hours, ut II o'clock tho committee
adjourned until tomorrow ut 4 o'clock.
Tho discussion tonight was general,
covering the entire question as to how
the deficit in tho revenues was TO be
met. Tho issue between the members
is whotiler tho income tax shall be upon
individual incomes or slMply Y upon in-
comes from corporations.
When the committee adjourned ten
days ago tho general understanding WAS
that they woro divided five and five,
with Judge Turner, oi Georgia, holding
tho balance Of power.
Tho weight OF the administration
influence was thrown strongly against
the individual tax proposition, and
this was made apparcn: to-.
night by tho manner in which
it waa attacked by those who aro par
ticuarly supposed to represent tho adj
miniatration viOws. &Ir. Cochran, Of
New York, was persistent and aggros-
sivn.
Nothing, however. was decided nnd
when the committee adjourned Chair
man Wilson said that tho situation was
nbsolutcl Y unchanged.

THE TARIFF FIRST,
General Opinion That II VIII Take Prccc
drncc Over All Other Questions,

General Opinion That 1t VIII Take Trccc-
drncc Over All Other Questions.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. lit is cx-
pec,cd that tho decision in the case OF
Judge Charles Long, OF Michigan,
against Commissioner of Pensions
Lochran, seeking restoration OF his ior-
mcr pension rating, will not be rem
dcrcd before the latter part Of next
week. 1t is possible, however, that it
will be delivered by Justice Bradley, OF
tho district supreme court.
1t is generally agreed anon. Demo-
cratic senators that the financial ques-
ton will be allowed to remain un-
touched in congress until alter the tariff
bill shall be disposed of.
Senator Voorhees, replied to a ouos-
ton concerning his silver bill to-day
that no effort whatever will be made to
press it until the tariff bill should be
disposed OF.
Then, he said, the bill would receive
attention and he thought it would
prove the solution OF the problem. lIo
said he felt confident after senators and
members had had an opportunity to
examine it they would SEQ its merits
put through both houses before adj
journment Representative Bland has
also said recently that he did not expect
to try to get up his free coinage bill in
tho house until after the disposal OF the
tariff.
There is moro or less talk OF Secretary
Carlislc's suggestion favorable to the
issuance of bonds to provide for the
government deficit, but that, with
other financial questions, will probably
20 over until after the tariff question is
settled.
There is general feeling that, pri-
marily, the tariff is Of greater import
unue than any other question at pres
ent. There is also IN underlined hope
cxtant that by the time it becomes 4
law the tariff bill will bc so shaped as
to provide enough revenue for all tho
purposes OF tho government and thus
render bond issue unnecessary, and
tho belief is gaining ground that there
will be 4 great effort to provide for tho
deficit i'll connection with tho tariff bill
in some other WY than issuing bonds.
Hence there need DO no surprises ii
the taking OF the bond position may be
deferred so long as to render it inpoli-
tic to take it up at all.
