WASHINGTON, May S.-The United

lished a report IN sewage irrigation,
which contains most interesting data on
stream pollution and sewage disposition.
This publication reports q total of 143
sewage purifaction plants in operation
in the United States and Canada, about
100 Of them having been either built or
projected in the last IL years. It says it
is probable that as soon as the advan-
tages of irrigation and filtration are
more fully known. a number Of chem

changed to either irrigation or filtration
or even without a complete change Of

to be very likely in the case of a num-

Huronite, i: The green worm which
has SO long fed on the box alder trees in
this nei9hborhood and which has been
such a pest as to cause Huroniars to al.
most wish there were no box alder trees
here. bids fair TO be exterminated with
out further trouble. A parasite has APP
peared which feeds upon the worm IN It's
pupa state and totally destroys it. The
parasite is small fly which we believe
deposits its eggs upon the back OF the
large green worm just before winding
itself up into its winter home. Soon
afterwards the eggs are Matched out by
the warmth Of the worm and then begins
to feed and o o destroys it.

There are several fine examples OF Van

four of which are owned by the Met

These include his really great work, the
portrait OF James Stuart, Duke of Rich

Dyck was one of the most polished and
suave painters of any epoch and his color

SOME OF THEM ARE CAUSING
MUCH UNEASINESS.

Two mail steamers and one transport
made port yesterday. The America Maru

Honolulu with II cabin, IL Europeans, AZ
Chinese and IS japanese in the steerage
She made the run from Honolulu in the
fast time OF five days twenty hours. The
San Jose came in from Central American
ports with seven cabin and twelve steer
age passengers. She made the run from
Panama in twenty-five days. The City
of Para came from Manila via Nagasah
in twenty-seven days. She brought no
passengers. The passage was an unevent-
full one. Both the City OF Para and Zea-
landia. which arrived from Manila Sun
day. will be returned to their owners as
soon as the damage to them has been as
sessed by a board OF survey.
The British steamer Bloemfontein is
now overdue at Honolulu from Newcas-
tie, \. s. w. She is loaded with coal, and
was nearly seventeen days late when the

the reinsurance on her had gone back TO

THE PLANS OF LIQUIDATION
MANY YEARS REQUIRED TO

George Crocker. second vice president Of
the Southern Pacific Company, arrived in
san Francisco night before last and yes
terday received many callers at his Office
In the yellow building. Before Mr.. Crocker
left New York for the Pacific Coast The
Call announced that he would travel via
New Orleans and tarry en- route TO inspect
properties OF the Pacific Improvement
Company in Louisiana and Texas He
was asked yesterday IL his plans in this
respect had been carried out. Speaking
OF the Pacific Improvement Company he
said:
Many newspaper reports regarding the
affairs Of the Pacific Improvement Com
pany and particularly the stories that the
company's property is TO be sold outright
are incorrect. The Calls statement that

pany. The hotels of Castle Crags and Del
Monte are owned by the concern. The
company owns raiiway and coal mines

Concerning the rumor of his resignation

Mr.. Crocker does not care to discuss the
Senatorial situation. In fact he frankly
admits that the newspapers are much bet

the steamer could stand in over the bar
When Astoria was reached the chief en-
gineer discovered that the vessel he had
left five days previously had been driven
from her moorings and was a total wreck
On the return trip the Dispatch found
trouble again. The windows were smashed
in, railing carried away. cabin flooded and
other minor damage done. Through ii all
the steamer proved herself an admirable
seaboat
The schooner Mizpah and her nineteen
owners are in peck OF trouble. All or
the latter except Captain Owens are
sheep raisers and know nothing about a
sailing vessel. The captain has chartered
the vessel 10 carry load of dynamite TO
Amapala and the other owners refuse to
let her go. In consequence there are in
functions and restraining orders by the
dozen, and the Mizpah bids fair to be
eaten up in litigation before the matter Is
settled.
The longshoremen on the ship Bohemia
have struck for an advance of 10 cents an
hour. The stevedores refuse to pay the
demanded increase and are working the
vessel with outside help.
The steamer Cleveland Is receiving a
thorough overhauling preparatory to 60
ing into the Cape Nome trade in the
machinery overhauled, boilers put in
thorough repair, the tween decks have
been thoroughly cleaned, standees put in
and the entire vessel cleaned and painted.
When the job is completed the Cleveland
will be almost as good as new.
Louis Black, mate OF the Cleveland, had
his watch stolen yesterday by man
named John Kallen. The latter was ar
rested and booked at the Harbor police
station on a charge Of grand larceny.
The brig Tanner has been brought out
