PLAGUE NEWS NOT REAssuRING
Grave Fears that the Infection May
Yet Rench Eurouc


Yet Reach Europe.
| LONDON, Jan. 23.-The plague news from
Bombay is not reassuring. Tho govern
ment sanitary commissioner has reported
seriously on the situation; but Englishmen
Il foothold in Great Britain as remote. owing
to the excellent sanitary conditions. But,
on the continent, the feeling of alarm has
clearly increased during the past week,
| and the continental press demands the most
rigorous inspection of everything imported
from India.
Some excitement was caused in
Paris during the week by the
shipping of a small steamer, bound
from Londcn 10 PGr.s at Bougi ak,
village on the Seine about four miles
north of Versailles. A rumor spread that
the steamer was infected with the
plague, and it transpired she had on board
carpets and bedding from India But it
developed later they had been stored in
London for the past six months and the
authorities allowed her to proceed to Paris.
Along the unsanitary ports of the Medi-
tcrranoan littoral grave fears are expressed
that the plague will be introduced on the
steamers coming from India, and the French
minister of the interior, NJ. Barthua, has
ordered large quantities of anti-plague serum
to be prepared and sent to the French ports.
At a meeting OF the council of public
assistance in Paris, note of alarm was
struck in a remark that infected Indian
carpets may already have been brought into
the French capital. DR.. Brouardel, more
over, stated that the danger of the plague
reaching Europe was imminent; that the
preventative means of France only existed
in rudimentary form, that France could do
nothing to prevent the entrance of the
plague, and could do little to combat ii.
These grave remarks from DR.. Brouardel
have created a deep impression, and at
the cabinet council held at the Eiysec
palace today the minister of foreign al
fairs, NJ. HanotauX, and the minister Of
the interior, communicated to their col
leagues and the president the sanitary
measures adopted by the government. These
include forbidding pilgrims from leaving
Tunis, Algeria and Senegambia for Mecca
this year. and President Faure has signed
a decree imposing severe penalties upon
the import of merchandise from the in
fected parts of India through othe- ports
than Marseilles, Pauiliac ST. Naizare, Hayre,
Dunkirk and Algiers.
The Italian sanitary council has consid,
cred the situation, and 1t is understood that
1t advises against the project for general
quarantine as being commercially ruinous
and inefficacious.
In Germany the plague is viewed through
Anglophobe glasses, and Great Britain is
attacked for allowing herself to be lulled
into a feeling OF false security by the In
dian authorities and the Bond street press,
which is charged with trying to conceal
the real danger existing.

Debates In the Commons Character

Copyright. 1897. by the Associated Pretu)
LONDON, Jan. 23.-Parliament opened on
Tuesday last with an unusually poor at
tendance and lack of animation. The state
ment of A. ]. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury and government leader in the
House Of Commons, regarding Irish finances
has removed the most important barrier to
a speedy adoption OF the address in reply
to the speech from the throne. Mr. Balfour
said the royal commission which had in
vestigated the financial condition of Ire
land and reported that country to be over
taxed to the amount OF f2,750, 900 had been
guilty of sins of omission and had refused
to discuss large classes of facts which
should be investigated, Therefore, he added,
the government proposed to take steps to
complete the investigation. /, Mr.. Balfour
now hopes the address will be voted early
next week.
With the exception of the proceedings
yesterday evening, when Sir Henry Ho-
warth, conservative, representing the south
division of Stafford, moved an amendment
censuring the government for releasing the
Irish political prisoners which called forth
a heated defense OF the action of the home
secretary. Sir Matthew White Ridley upon
the part OF Mr.. Balfour, who declared Sir
Henry's attack was an imputation upon the
homer of the whole treasury bench and
meant that he himself md his colleagues
were unworthy to lead the party, the de-
bates in the Commons had been tedious and
only enlivened by an amusing incident on
Thursday when Sir Wilfred Lawson, radi-
cal, representing the Cockermouth division
Of Cumberland, depicted British Legislators
in the grotesque position of breaking the
laws of the country daily. Sir Wilfred ques
toned the attorney general, Sir Richard
Webster, @. c., regarding the sale of liquor
within the precincts OF the House Sir
Richard had to reply, amid a continuous
roar of laughter that after profound in
quiry into the matter, he had come to the
conclusion that the sale OF liquor within the
precincts of the House ives illegal, and that
the only remedy was to pass a short act
eXempting the House from the licensing law.
The followers of Sir Wilfred Lawson, who
incidentally is president OF the United
Kingdom Alliance for the Suppression OF
the Liquor Traffic, are jubilant at the at
torney generals admission, and It is hinted
they intended to file an information againat
the speaker. But they are not likely to
carry out the threat.
When the question of alleged oyertaxation
of Ireland comes up for discussion the
Scotch members intend to suggest that the
financial position of Scotland be included

Mn. HARMON TAKES EXCEPTION.
Does Not Agree with Judge LOckc's
DecisiOn Filled Recently.


| WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Since the deci-
| sion OF Judge Locke some days ago at Jack
sonvile Fla, in the case OF the supposed
illbuster the Three Friends. Attorney Gen
eral Harmon has given the question raised
by the defense careful confederation, and
has reached the conclusion that the decision
was not good law. The decision was to the
effect that the law inhibitlng tho Quitting
and departure from the United States OF
armed expeditions to aid a people In its CON
tests against the lawful authority OF a ma
tlon with which the United States Is on
friendly terms, does not apply to the Cuban
insurgents, they not being a people within
the meaning Of the law.
The attorney general takes view directly
In opposition to that announced by Judge
Locke and in order that the matter may
be broLe-t to a speedy determination he
has applied to the United States supreme
court for writ OF certiorari on the United
States court Of appeals at New Orleans, d.
recting that the case be at once certified
to the United States supreme court for
trial.
The attorney general in speaking of the
matter today, said that II Judge Locke's in
depreciation Of the law, that these expedl-
tlons are not political. Is correct. II neeessa-
rily follows that peraons engaged in them are
pirates and that hG was seriously consider
Ing the question OF arrestiug them as such
The attorney general Is very much In earnest
in this matter and II is not at all unlikely
that heroic steps will be taken 10 put stop
10 the expeditions which are constantly being
ret afoot In aid OF the Cuban insurgents.
