Another passenger on the st. Louis DR..
George z. Shrsdy. When seen at the pier he spoke
Of the recent outbreak Of the bubonic plague in
England.
There ara twenty cases OF the bubonic plague
at Glasgow" he said, and there is doubt that
the patients suffering from the disease Then
there were one hundred cases under observation.
Professor Muir who has been making the examina-
tion has found the bacH and verified the dag
nosis.
They are using the most energetic measures TO
prevent the spread OF the plague I do not believe
that 1t has chance TO spread there IN any
civilized city where there proper sanitary
rangements.
They are on the lookout here, and the passen-
gers embarhing a Glasgow are all examined by
the health authorities. The only chance IS that
such a might develop on shipboard. There Is
doubt that Health Officer Doty will do every
thing to prevent the entrance OF the plague here.
He understands the situation and will take the
proper The way to do is TO take the tenn
peratures and to watch cases where the tenpera-
ture is high. This, I understand. is being done
The plague be quickly stamped out as was
done at San Francisco by isolation. The English
people are exercised over the appearance Of the
plague there, and alive TO the danger do not
doubt that suspected cases may come here and
they will be placed under observation"
Judge George Gray. former Senator from Della
ware. returned from visit with friends in Eng
land. In speaking Of his trip he said:
They are watching the campaign in this country
with great deal OF interest. They exaggerate
the importance of the election. I told them that
the future Of the Nation did not depend on any
election. I believe that in China England Will
agree with this country. The policy outlined by
Secretary Hay has been most ravorably received in
England"
