Consul General McIvor of Kanagawa, Ja-
the department that the total number of
deaths from cholera in Japan during 1895
up to July 10 was 4,SD4, the total nunocr
OF cases being 1901. In the previous year
there were only 3l4 deaths. Consul General
McIvor also states that, owing to the un-
usual prevalence Of cholera in Nagasaki and
Hiogo, rigid inspection of the steamship
for San Francisco. A favorable report
was made by the physician who inspected
the vessel
Consul General McIvor adds that he
deemed the inspection necessary because of
the knowledge that the China had touched
at Nagasaki and Kobe before coming to
Kanagawa, and the consular supplemental
bill Of health received at Kobe showed that
'for the period Of two weeks prior to her
sailing the number of cases OF Asiatic
cholera reported in that Uort was 21O. and
the number Of deaths 1856. These figures
showed such a marked increase in the pro-
62 per cent, that / felt 1t necessary to put
in force all discretionary requirements as
to inspection. Since the China sailed, re-
ports received by me from our consul at

The last county to elect delegates was Le-

The battle. which began about July l..

domination which he has so long exercised

The Railroad Oficials and Inspector
Bradshavv's Statements.
The annual report made to the Engineer
Commissioner by Acting General Inspector
Bradshaw, and published in The Star OF
Thursday, discussed the street car lender
regulations and stated that 1.-The grips OF
the Washington and GEORGETOWN and CO.
iumbia roads are not as yet fully equipped
as required by the regulations"
Superintendent Sailer of the Washing
ton and GEORGETOWN road stated most en-
phaticaily to a Star reporter today that
the report of the acting general inspector
in SO far as 1t related to the compliance of
the Washington and Georgetown with the
fender regulations was wholly inaccurate
For more than two weeks, said the su-
pelitendent every car on the Washing
ton and Georgetown road has been proper
ly equipped with a fender. There are sew
erai cars not in use on which there are
no lenders but it is hardly to be supposed
that these were referred to in the report
upon which The Star based its comment
yesterday
President Baker of the Columbia Rail-
way Company, when asked IL the inspec-
tors charge Is correct, as applied to his
company. replied that he would neither af-
firm or deny it, and for the present had
nothing to say.
Mr. Bradshaw, when his attention was
called this afternoon to the statements of
the railroad officials, said that his report
was dated August 1ften days ago. At
that time, he said, the statements it con-
Georgetown road were true; but the COM
pany may have since completed its equip
ment of tenders. As to the Columbia road,
Mr.. Bradshaw insisted that even today 1t
was not fully equipped with tenders and
wheel guards, in compliance with the regu-

VINE DISEASES.
Why They Are More Destructive OF,
the Pacific Coast.

Why They Are More Destructive on
the Pacific Coast.
The grape diseases on the Pacific coast
are reviewed in report compiled by New
ton B. Pierce and issued by the Agricul-
tural Department today. 1t states that
more than one-half of the grapes OF the
country are grown the Pacific coast,
California alone having approximately 2Oo,
600 acres of vines 1t is shown that the
main reason why vine diseases are more
destructive on the Pacific than on the At
lantic coast is because the European or
tender varieties are grown in the former
and the American hardy vines in the
latter part of the United States. The most
serious of the plant maladies is the Cali
fornia vine disease, which has already
killed more than 10000 acres of the most
thrifty and productive vineyards. Whole
vine-growing regions are now denuded, and
the disease is at work fifty miles away
from where it began it's raNages. So far
it is estimated the disease has caused a
direct and indirect loss of not less than
So, ,OOUO 900. Its effects are seen the first
season on the foliage of the vine, but by
the second season reduced growth of the
canes is apparent. Powdery mildew is one
of the most common fungouS diseases of
the vine. but it is easily treated. Sulphur,
the report says, is the agent used in nearly
all cases, the fumes destroying the tender
spores and vegetative organs. Couture is
a plant trouple III whlch lAe VINE growers
of the centre country, especially on the
Pacific coast, are deeply concerned. The
greatest and most frequent losses from the
disease occur in the raisin-growing districts
of California and Arizona. Losses caused
by it's ravages amount to many millions Of
dollars, and in Arizona, it is said, a full
first crop Of raisin4 grapes has not been OBJ
tained for twelvs years or more The re-
port predicts thatifhe crossing of muscat,
muscatel and other varieties of the vines
will ultimately do away with the losses
from couture in raisin grapes.

MRS. PERKINS PROTESTS ,NNocENcE
She and Her Sister Took Out Policies
for Each Other.


MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., August 2i-The
inquest over the remains of Mrs. Hawkins
of whose murder her sister, Mrs. Nora Per-
kins. stands accused, was begun today
The state refuses absolutely to say what
the evidence against the imprisoned woman
Is. but 1t is known that she is charged with
impersonating her sister in obtaining the
insurance policies and with forging her
sisters signatures to the documents. 1t is
also suspected that the two women were
not really sisters.
Mrs. Perkins was interviewed today and
told romantic story of their lives. She
claimed they were of native Spanish birth
and had come from Madrid to Tampa, Fla,
in childhood. There they were educated in
convent and there she married Hal Per-
kins, printer now dead.
She asserts her entire innocence and de-
clares that they both took life insurances
for the benefit of each other, although her
policy has not yet been allowed. She was
soliciting for the Security Mutual Life of
New York and they took out the insurance
to save the commissions and were 20 as
sign the policies to each other.
She admitted that she had already made
two payments on Mrs. Hawkins policy.

IMMIGRATION LAST YEAR.
Facts to Be Presented In the Forth
coming Superintendent's Report.

Superintendent Stumph of the immigra-
ton bureau, Treasury Department, has
about completed his annual report. This
report shows that 23S,0OO immigrants ar
rived in the United States in the past fiscal
year, while in the previous twelve months
the arrivals aggregated 2s5,000 This fall
ing off in the number of foreigners coming
here is not attributed wholly to the hard
tines that have prevailed during the past
year, but it is thought that the increased
restrictions are largely responsible for it.
1t is claimed by the officials of the bureau
of immigration that greater care is being
taken to prevent diseased persons and
those liable to become a burden on the
country from landing here than ever be-
fore AS every steamship company is re-
quired to return immigrants who do not
come up to the requirements to their
homes, the officials of the transportation
companies are using increased efforts. it is
claimed, to have only immigrants who will
be accepted on landing embark their
steamers.
