BLACK PLAGUE.
Statement of the Epidemic By the
Health officer of Yokohama.


Health Officer of Yokohama.
WASHINGTON, July Recognizing
the difficulties in the way of obtaining
accurate information upon sanitary mat
ters from oriental countries, DR.. Stuart
Eldredge, the Health officer for the port
of Yokohama and member of the I'M
perial Board of Health of Toxic, has sent
to the Marine Hospital Bureau a semi-of-
fetal statement of the epidemic of the
black plague in Southern China. 1t ap-
pears from his report that this scourge, of
which only fragmentary news has been
received, is one of the most fearful on
record, having its greatest hold at the port
of Honkong, where most of the foreign
commerce touches. The disease broke
out in Canton late last February, and at
the same time was epidemic at PakhOl,
port not often visited by Europeans.
During March and April it steadily in
creased, until it assumed gigantic proper
tions.
According to the letter of DR.. Eldridge
the Eastern authorities treated the dis
ease with their ordinary Indifference
Although Hongkong is the center of
trade in the east, but half days journey
from Canton, and in constant communI-
cation Herewith, the existence of danger
was ignored until several cases appeared
May. 1t steadily increased in that place
until the mortality has reached 100 day,
despite the exodus of 100000 Chinese and
many Europeans. The natives in most
cases have left on feeling the first
symptoms of the disease, with the hope
of dying in their native villages, while
dozen Europeans have been attacked and
most of them have died.
From Canton and kongkong the dis
ease is spreading through the neighbor-
ing country and will probably appear in
the coast towns of China north of Hong
kong, because from the carelessness in
these points no effective quarantine is
likely TO be established.
Several cases have already occurred on
steamers travelling from Hongkong to
Chinese ports, but without serious con-
sequences, on account Of prompt action
by the ships surgeons. a quarantine
system has been put In operation IN
Japan, holding ships from the infected
districts nine days after arrival or alter
leaving, and the last case has abated, and
but one infected ship has reached Japan.
IF may presume to advise" said DR..
Eidredge, II would say the most stringent
measures may need TO be taken to protect
the United States particularly as regards
certain classes of goods from China likely
to convey infection-rags, old cotton,
etc., and also such manufactured articles
as are made in the native workshops,
with perhaps case of plague dying in
the same rooms; such things as straw
mating, embroideries and every sort of
textile fabrics. So long as the disease is
kept out of Japan, so long will this coun-
try be the best bulwark of the United
States against the importation of the dis

BULLETS WOULD NOT GO THROUGH

Successful Test of Lennard's Army
Coat.
NEW YORK, July 22.-A number of
gentlemen went over to Governors
Island yesterday to see the test of the W.
J. Lennard bullet-proof coat. Captain
G. p Cation. commanding Fort Column
bus, had promised Mr.. Lennard test.
The buliet-proof shield was hung on a
post, and Lieutenant G. j. Treat took a
Springfield and fired five or SIX shots at
a distance of forty feet at it. The bullets
buried themselves in the material, but
did not go quite through, though they
made Jumps on the other side. ''Mr. Len
nard's coat has eHectually resisted the
bullets. There is no doubt of that said
Captain Cation, ''but | can't see the util-
ity of the thing. We might as well have
an army with metallic shields and be
done with it. You could not get soldiers
to wear such coats in action"

HEADQUARTERS A. r. u.
Cook COUNTY JAIL,
CHICAGO, July -, 1894. J
TO the american Public. 1t is almost
universally conceded that the Pullman
company, through the oft-repeated re-
duction of wages, excessive rents and
other causes, has grievOusly Wronged its
employees, and that whatever may be said
about the great strike which resulted in
consequence of such grievance, the arbi-
trary refusal OF said Pullman company to
submit to arbitration in any form (even
to decide the question if there is any
thing TO arbitrate) Is proof positive that
said company has no faith in the Justice of
its cause and fears the disclosures that are
certain to result from an honest investi-
cation, and in view of the heavy losses
entailed upon the country, such obstinacy
on the part of the Pullman company is
deserving of the seyerest condemnation.
We propose that the Pullman company
shall be brought to justice. and in a way
that shall necessitate strike with it's; at
tendant ills.
We have faith in the American people;
they uphold justice; they love fair play;
and now, in the name OF justice and fair
play, we appeal to the great American
public, to every man and every good
woman, not to ride in Pullman car until
the Pullman Company does justice TO its
employees. Let the cars run absolutely
empty. No friend OF labor, no lover of
humanity, will occupy seat or berth
In Pullman car. Let this policy be in
augurated and we will then see how long
the railway companies will be bound by
their contracts, as they have induced the
people to believe, to haul Pullman cars.
We propose to continue the fight against
the Pullman Company, through good and
evil reports, and without regard to conse-
quences, until justice shall be done.
There viii be no surrender. We will use
every available and lawful means to press
the contest.
1t is requested that all papers through
| out the land favorable to justice, to
humanity copy this statement in full
and keep it standing as long as possible.
Earnestly appealing to the great public
to aid us in this unequal contest, and re-
lying with implicit faith upon the final
and powerful triumph of the right. we
will subscribe ourselves very respectfully
