was made by the physician who inspected
the vessel.
Consul General MeIvor adds that he
deemed the inspection necessary because of
the knowledge that the China had touched
at Nagasaki and Fobe 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 u)rt was 30, and
the number of deaths 1S6. These figures
showed such marked increase in the pro-
portion Of Deaths the average being about
81 per ccat that felt it necessary to put
in force all discretionary requirements as
to inspection. Since the China sailed, re-

Quay's Opponents Claim That They
Will Beat Him.
NEXT WEDNESDAY EMS TIE CONTEST
The Senator Says That He Has
Already Won,
LEHIGH VOTES AGAINST HIM

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 24.-Both
sides are claiming victory in the fractional
fight for the control of the republican po-
litical machinery in this state. which will
be concluded at the state convention in
Harrisburg Wednesday next.
The contest is over the state chairman
ship, United States Senator NJ. S. Quay
seeking to secure the position from the
present incumbent, State Banking Com
missioner b. F. Gilkeson, who Is candi-
date for reelection. There will be $50 del
egates In the convention. ard Senator Quay
claims 100 of these, OF fifteen more than a
majority.
The anti-Quay factions the leaders Of
which are Gov. Hastings. c. l.. Magee Of
Pittshurg and David Martin and Charles
A. Porter CT this city. claim that they will
defeat Quay by about fifteen votes.
The last county to elect delegates was Lee
high. The convention met in Allentown
today and instructed its four delegates to
vote for the anti-Quay candidates.
The battle, which began about July l,
has been fought with great fierceness, and
bitterness of feelirg has been engendered
which will require years to obliterate- Sen
ator Quay has declared that he Will never
'1st up on the combine as his oppo-
nents are designated. until its leaders are
buried In their political graves.
The anti-Quay leaders are equally deter
mined to dethrone Senator Quay from the
dc mination which he has so long exercised
over Pennsylvania politics, and 1t is evil
cent to disinterested observers that no
matter which side wins next week. the
factional contest will be continued.
Senator Quay has been personally in the
field since the battle began. and, although
hampered in his movements at the outset
by a sprained ankle. he is generally credit
ed with having put up a splendid fight.

VlNEi DISEASES.
Why They Are More Destructive ON
the Pacific COnSt.


Why They Are More Destructive ON
the Pacific Const.
The grape diseases on the Pacific coast
are reviewed in a report compiled by New
ton B. Pierce and issued by the Agricul-
tural Department today. 1t states that
more than oHe-half of the grapes of the
country are grown on the Pacific coast,
California alone having approxima tely 2DO,-
900 acres of wines 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 or 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-growins regions are now denuded, and
the disease is at work fifty miles away
from where ii began its ravages. So far
it is estimated the disease has caused
direct and indirect loss of not less than
S2O,UuuUOO. Its effects are seen the first
season on the foliage of the vine, but by
the second season a reduced growth of the
canes is apparent. Powdery mildew is one
of the most common funsous 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 vegetat:ve organs. Couture is
a plant trouble in which the vine growers
of the entire country, especially on the
Pacific coast, are deeply concerned. The
greatest and most frequent losses from the
disease occur in the sn-growing districts
of California and Arizona. Losses caused
by its ravages amount to many millions Of
dollars, and in Arizona, it is said, full
first crop of raisin grapes has not been OBJ
tanned for twelve years or more. The re-
port predicts that the crossing of muscat.
muscatel and other varieties of the vines
will ultimately do away with the losses
from couture in raisin grapes.

STREET CAR RENDERS.
The Railroad OfBcials and Inspector
radshav's Statements.

The Railroad Oficials and Inspector
BrndshaHv'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
lunbia roads are not as yet fully equipped
as required by the regulations"
Superintendent Sailer of the Washing
ton and Georgetown road stated most en-
phatically to a Star reporter today that
the report of the acting general inspector
in SO far as it related to the compliance OF
the Washington and Georgetown with the
fender regulations was wholly inaccurate
For more than two weeks said the su.
peritendent, every car on the Washihs-
ton and Georgetown road has been proper
Nv equipped with a fender. There are sew
eral cars not in on which there are
no tenders, 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 if 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 mad
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 14-ten days ago. At
that time he said, the statements 1t con-
tanned respecting the Washington and
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 it
was not fully equipped with tenders and
wheel guards, in compliance with the regu-
lations.

AMERICANS COMING HOME.
Few of Them Left I'm the British
Metropolis.


Copyrighted by the Associated Press)
LONDON, August 24-Although London
is crowded with visitors from the country
and from abroad. and in spite of the fact
that parliament is in session, socially the
metropolis is virtually dead. Almost every
body who is anybody at all has fitted from
this maze of streets and squares to the
country TO the seaside. to the noors or
the sands, Or to the continental water-cure
resorts or bathing rendezvous.
The house Of commons is neglected. Even
newly elected members, proud of the honor
that has so recently fallen upon Them,
shun the more or less sacred portals of
Westminster, preferring to receive the con-
CALCULATIONS of their friends in more sea-
sonable ATTITUDES and longitudes. In fact
some of the members have actually left
tewn without taking the trouble to pair
somewhat unusual proceeding. and one
that may be due to the confidence of the
conservatives in their strength, and to the
consciousness of weakness upon the part
of the liberals.
The invasion of London by the grand
army Of well-fnanced Americans. the IAN
gels" of the local tradesmen and the hap
piest of the happy, is about over for the
year Most of the transatlantic visitors
are on the continent, honHward bound, or
already safe home, while others, crowds
of them, are sailing from Southampton or
Liverpool today or during the week.

IMMIGRATION LAST YEAR.
Facts to he Presented I'm the Forth
coming Superintendent's Report.

Facts to He Presented IN the FOrth.
coming Superintendent Report.
Superintendent Stumph of the immigra-
ton bureau. Treasury Department, has
about completed his annual report. This
report shows that 25S,000 immigrants ar
rived in the United States in the past fiscal
year, while in the previous twelve months
the arrivals aggregated 2S5,OO0. This fall
ing off in the number Of foreigners coming
here is not attributed wholly to the hard
Tires 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 burden on the
country from landing here than ever be-
fore. AS every steamship company is re-
quired to return immigrants who do not
&C me 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 on their
steamers.

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

for Each Other.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August 24.-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 it 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 a romantic story of their lives. SIZE
claimed they were of native Spanish birth
and had come from Madrid to Tampa, Fla,
in childhood. There they were educated in
a convent and there she married Hal Per-
kins, printer, now dead
She asserts her entire innocence and de-
clares that they both took life assurances
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 to as
sign the policies to each other.
She admitted that she had already made
two payments on Mrs. Hawkins policy.
She stoutly maintained her entire inno-
Cence.
