RIGHTS OF A1rEn1cAH CAPITAL.
British Forces at Vancouver Protect
Sawnill Builders.


sawnill Builders.
Vancouver, B. c., May 9.-Civil war was
barely averted over the seizure OF the
British naval reserve by Theodore Lud-
gate. representing Chicago capitalists, who
secured a lease from the Federal Govern
ment for the erection OF a sawmill. Both
the city and the British Columbia legis-
lature had evicted Ludgate and seized tho
island as theirs by right. Mr.. Ludgate,
armed with the lease. felt very sore. and
wired MIR. Maxwell, representing Van-
couver at Ottawa, to interpret his position
for him. Maxwell wired back: Go on
and build your sawmill. The Dominion
government will use force II necessary to
protect you"
Ludgate thereupon took fifty Italian and
Irish workmen with him ald sized the
island. advising the city and provincial
police to go home. which they did.
The Chicago capitalists are now in pos
session and Vancouver is expecting that
the local militia will be called out to es-
tablish Ludgate's right TO possession. This
would be popular. as every wo. kngman
in the city as well as the volunteers and
policemen are anxious to see Ludgate in
possession and his mill erected. owing to
the immense number of hands he guaran-
tees to employ. mass meeting WAS CALI
ed last night and volunteers from the au-
dience offered to help Ludgate resist the
violence from the local government or
city council to eject him. A telegram is
expected momentarily from Ottawa which
will precipitate a row unless it Is OF a
compromising nature.

Bcreaved by the Loss of Three Chill
dren, . Mother Eads Her Life.

Newark, n. J., May s.-As Philip Mat
,hews. of No. 90 Lille Street strolled into
his kitchen just before dinner time Sun
day night, he saw his wife eating some
thing from a dish with a spoon. AS he
came closer he was Mortified to find that
it was paris green. Throwing the dish and
its contents away. he ran out and brought
in a doctor. but it was too late. Mrs.
Matthews died in agony at O'Clock this
morning.
Recently Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews lost
three children in rapid succession. The
mothers life was bound up in them and
nearly every day since the last one died
she has gone TO the cemetery and stood
long by their graves in fearless grief.
Fearing that her mind would give way
her husband tried to persuade her not to
go to the cemetery any more and kept a
watch over her, following her whenever
she did so.
Sunday, however. she eluded his vigi-
lance and, after long vigil at the graves.
laid a flower on each and came home with
an apparently light heart She chatted
with a member of the household and
seemed even merry. 1t was the mirth Of
madness. The doctors say that when she
ate the poison, grief had driven her in
sane.

OFFICIAL MATTERS.

Information by Board of Health-Or-
ders to Sentries on Duty.
Office of the Board Of Health, Homo
lulu, December 14th, 1899.
Plague, called also Asiatic plague, or
bubonic plague, is an infectious and
contagious disease, capable of commu-
nication from the affected person to
another by bodily contact, and this may
occur during any stage of the disease.
It may also be communicated by means
of the excretions from the sick, such
as saliva, phlegm, sweat, and the dis
charges from the bowels and bladder;
also by the blood and matter from
assesses and sores. The material that
causes the disease is therefore likely
to be contained in the clothing, dress
ings and bedding, ETC., that have come
in contact with the sick; dishes and
utensils that have been used by the
sick are also foul.
In order to produce it's effects on the
human body it must gain access to the
blood, juices and soft parts of the in
terror, and in the great majority OF
cases it's door of entrance is through
the delicate and moist membrane of
the mouth, nose, eyes, etc, or through
some cut, SCRATCH Vi dUiduSu ShIh SUI
face on any part of the body.
PERIOD OF INCUBATION.
The period of incubation, during
which the evil remains quiet in the
body and makes no sign, may be as
short as two days or perhaps less, or it
may continue five days or even Ion
ger; but five days is generally regard
ed as the limit of this period.
FIRST SYMPTOMS.
The earliest symptoms of plague,
though varying somewhat in different
cases, are likely to be marked by head
ache, a sensation of fullness in the
head, dizziness, a feeling of great wear
mess and languor, paleness of the face,
and perhaps even a staggering gait;
there may also be nausea and vomlt-
ing. and perhaps diarrhoea; or the OPP
posite condition may prevail IN. the
bowels, that of constipation. The eyes
are often bloodshot and the surface or
the body may be affected with blotches
and patches Of red or purple color
After a short time, varying in length
from one TO two days, fever may set IN
and swellings appear in the groin, arm
pit, neck, or other parts of the body
Persons affected in any Of these ways,
