ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

The Board of Health is doing its duty
in the matter of refusing to give burial
certificates when the cause of death is
not clear. Deputy Marshal Chillings-
worth is doing his duty in having the
cases investigated as they are brought
10 his notice. 1t is to be hoped that the
word unknown" will be wiped away
from the mortuary statistics which are
published monthly by the Board of
Health.
Three cases have now been investi-
gated. In the first case, that of young
woman who died of typhoid fever. No
less than three physicians had attend
ed her, but the last one being out OF
town on the day of her death, it was
not possible to obtain his signature to
her death certificate. The reasons,
however, We're brought to light and ev-
erything was found to be correct. There
was some talk about this death and the
matter was brought to the notice of
The Star, but application at the Mar
shals department showed that proper
investigation had been made.
The second case was that of Koali,
native woman, she had been in charge
of a kahuna, and the investigation re-
suited in the trial and conviction of
Lilinoe, the kahuna woman. This in
vestigation brought to light a condition
of things which doubtless often occurs,
and for which there was ample Oppor-
tunity when the Board of Health off,
Gals calmly accepted unknown" as a
satisfactory reason for death, and duly
entered it upon their records. In Eng
land this woman, Lilinoe, would have
been brought up on a charge of man.
slaughter at. least. So she may think
herself lucky in getting off with 800
fine, instead of long term of impris-
onment.
The third case occurred yesterday.
1t was that of a Chinese child. When
application was made at the Board of
Health for a burial certificate, it was
found that there had been no doctor
and the cause of death was unknown.
investigation by the Deputy Marshal
showed that there had been no medical
man in attendance and an autopsy was

the probable cause of death. So far.

which will not be on the list as such.

NUMBER OF JEWS
in PALESTINE

Washington Jan. 24.--In view of the in
terest recently manifested in the Zionist
movement looking of the repopulating Of
the Holy Lands, statistics sent to the
state department by United States Consul
Randall at Beirut, of the number of Jews
says that one-half Of the population are
Jews, whereas there We're only 14,000
twenty years ago. In Jerusalem there are
%, 600 Jews, half of whom have come from
ton and resources of some of the princi-
pal Jewish colonies the consul says.
ENTIRELY irrespective of whether or
not the Zionists will succeed in awakening
in the Jewish people national spirit and
forming a Jewish monarchy or republic
with its parliament in Jerusalem, the
present agitation makes for the develop
ment Of a country which Is only a shad-
oW of it's former self, and which will gen.
erously respond to modern influences.
The sultan seems disposed to grant rail-
way and other franchises and the move
ment is bringing out new qualities in the
Jews in Palestine They are no longer
content to study the Talmud and live on
charity, but are waking to the fact as the
Hebrew would put it, that to till the
ground is worship of God"
The consul says that while there are
still many obstacles to the return of peace
and prosperity, he feels justified in de-
clarng that the prospects are brighter
than ever before for the Jews in Palestine
and for the country itself.

CROPS WILL BE
VERY LIGHT

Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 1-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Heavy rains, unusual in this latitude at
this time of the year, have injured the
spring crop of sugar cane. The coffee crop
in Nicaragua, now being gathered, will
not exceed half of the usua: annual crop.
Laborers are asking high prices to gather
the harvest and are ndisposed to work.
preferring to be in the army or act as
government officials. The prospect is
that the one per cent gold per pound eX-
port tax on the 1S9S-99 crop of coffee in
this republic will not pay more than one
half the interest, due in July of the pres
ent year, on Nicaragua's 1886 railroad
bonds.
The export tax of ST gold per kilo on
gold exported from. the mines decreed to
commence today, has aroused great op-
position in the mining districts of eastern
Nicaragua and threats to close the mines
are made. The average value of the gold
in bullion exported from eastern Nicar-
aqua including paintings from the placer
gold mines, is about 600 fine. The gold
from western Nicaragua is about 400 fine.
An effort has been made to collect the tax
as if the bullion was pure gold, i. e., 900
fine.
The imports into Nicaragua are unusu-
ally small and business is very dull Pa
per money is al 1-3 for one gold without
basis of gold or silver for redemption.

seems highly proper, however, for us as
business men, to give clear expression OF
our belief in the commercial necessity
of a canal across Nicaragua and to our
conviction that whether constructed by
private corporation or upon funds sup
piled by our government, the canal
should be- first last and always an Amer
lean enterprise and under the control OF
the United States. With our new pos
sessions in the far east, we need now as
never before a way of quick cOmmunica-
ton by water between our Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. In the Orient are the
largest undeveloped markets for our
products, and our growing trade must be
transported by cheaper means than by
our ns-continental railroads. The
money ii would cost would be we'll spent
# devoted to such an end by our federal
government.
"Conditions have not been favorable
during the past year to the awakening
of any high degree of enthusiasm about
the Paris exposition in 1900. Many of our
manufacturers have been disposed to give
small consideration to it, and some of
them have even expressed their deter
mination to dismiss the matter entirely
on account of the sentiments which were
attributed to France during the war with
Spain. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
any of our manufacturers should have
permitted themselves to be so moved by
prejudice for which there was really no
foundation, and it is to be much hoped
that the return of peace and the settled
conditions will revive interest in this
exposition and lead our manufacturers
to an appreciation of it's true import
ance.
Our present parcel shutes system is OF
comparatively small value, and the linn
tied extent to which it is used affords
no basis upon which to judge of the vol
ume of foreign trade which could be de-
veloped with proper facilities of this
character. Concerted action by the men,
bers of this association in conjunction
with the efforts of other organizations,
would doubtless prove very beneficial in
securing the development of this exceed
ingly useful instrument of international
communication"

While legitimate competition is a
