the Admiralty, w. E. Ellison Macart-
ney, replying in the House of Commons
to-day to a question of James Christie
pher Flynn, Irish Nationalist member
for the North Division of Cork Coun-

of salt meat, which was unfit for food,
and whether, in view of this enormous
loss the Admiralty would consider the
advisability of contracting for salt
meat with Irish and other home curers,

at Deptford was Irish pork, and that
all the beef condemned was American

LOS ANGELES, July 1.-Promptly

maximum amount of cordiality, and on
behalf of the Golden State bid everyone

During the last ten years secondary
and higher education have had an un-

dent Kirk pointed out in that period
of time the enrolment at Berkeley had
increased from $50 to LOO. Including
the professional colleges located in
San Francisco, the State University has
now a total enrolment of 2,43S. In
1889 there were but 81 high schools IN
the State, but to-day there are 121,
and with increase of numbers, the
standard of work has been raised. The
majority Of the high schools are chang
ing, or have changed, from a three to
a four years course, and the elementary
schools-the peoples colleges-have ad-
vanced with the high schools.
In concluding his review Superin-
tendent Kirk said that in the name and
on behalf of 10000 teachers and
], 100000 people interested in education,
he bid them thrice welcome.
Dr. Elmer E. Brown, University of
California, on behalf of State manage
ment, also bade hearty welcome to the
visiting educators, and then Mayor
Fred Eaton, on behalf of the munich
pality, in a few words, but with abso-

On behalf of the city schools, City
Superintendent Foshay outlined the

butte to the excellent corps of teachers

pressed some views which
caused considerable stir in
scientific circles.
An American consul in Bag
dad during three years and al
so from his experience in the
far East, India and Arabia, ne
has had unique opportunities
to study bubonic plague and it's
causes. DR.. Sundberg express
ed the emphatic conviction
that the only way of saving
Europe from an appalling
epidemic would be to exercise
an international control, back
ed by military power, over the
Mecca pilgrimage. The present
quarantine stations at CANA
room and the military cordons
established to protect the over
land routes will open before
an insignificant bride.
DR.. Sundberg, however
thinks that nothing can stop
the slow onward movement Of
the plague towards Europe.
Sooner or later it must come,
and modern science will be
powerless to stop it's ravages.
\ proof of this is that although
perfect sanitation prevails at
Hongkong and at Bombay.
which for natural and scientific
advantages are unrivaled in
Asia, still they cannot shake
oft the plague.
In the doctors opinion the
bubonic plague is already
creeping in two sluggish,
currents toward Europe. one
