DIR. RoKKAKU HoNoRED.
Appointed on Medical Commission
in Japan to Fight Plague.

A late report OF United States Marine
Hospital Surgeon Eldridge at Yokoha-
ma, to the Treasury Department, gives
a high compliment to DR.. X. Rokkaku,
sanitary inspector for Hawaii. as a
man recognized and respected by the
foreign and native medical profession
alike. The report reads:
Yokohama, Japan.
Sir: 1 have the honor to report that
/ was, a few days ago. approached by
the Japanese authorities who request
ed me to recommend, from the foreign
physicians OF Yokohama, and includ-
ing myself, board or committee to
act in a consultant and advisory ca
pacity with the emergency health
board OF Japanese medical men recent
ly organized as az additional precau-
tion in the fight against the plague.
/ consented to do so on the under
standing that the physicians recon-
mended, IL already in the service of
their own Government, should receive
no compensation: and nominated DIR.
Z. Wheeler, British consular physi-
clan; DR.. p. Koch. staff surgeon, I'm
perial German Navy, in charge of Ger
man Naval Hospital here, and as a
convenient and skilled intermediary
and interpreter, DR.. K. Rokkaku, sani-
tary inspector for Hawaii, man rec
ognized and respected by the foreign
and native profession alike.
This selection should prove a strong
one If the organization is allowed any
opportunity for work.
All the gentlemen nominated have
accepted and we are now in consulta-
tion with the Japanese officials, going
over various questions connected with
the campaign against the pest.
l am quite sufficiently occupied al
ready. but, under the circumstances, I
think that you will agree that l could
scarcely refuse the courteous and COM
plimentary request of the Government,
a request that. in view of their recent
determination and efforts to do with
out the assistance Of foreign experts, is
a decided concession on the part of
the authorities.
Respectfully.

Cattle receipts or the week ending
August 1th show some 10000 less than

corresponding week of last year. This
increase is made up of grass cattle also.
The market has shown good deal of
strength on corn fed cattle all week
and reached the high mark for the.
season. Grass cattle. including beeyes
and Gamers, sold active without any
material change in prices. Friday the
market lost some 10 or Is cents and
there is no life to il, especially was
