Precaution against Typhoid.

Precaution against Typhoid.
Owing to the prevalence of typhoid
fever in many sections Of the State,
the Virginia State Board of Health
has issued = timely circular on
Precautions against Typhoid Fever"
This dreaded disease has made its
appearance IN this community, and
and below We give the most impor-
tant features OF the circular rs con-
densed by the Richmond lines:
1t ID ssid that typhoid teysr Is -
most prevalent disease In Virginia,
and that the reports show that II is
especially prevalent At this season OF
the year, being present III almost eS-
cry county OF the State at this time.
Ii Is further stated chat y safe and
proper estimate would be at least
10000 persons are sick with this
disease annually IN Virginia, ana
that sbont 1000 die from its effects.
Whenever a single case OF smallpox
Is reported In community there ls
more or less alarm, yet the State
Board OF Health says that typhoid
kills Its thousands where smallpox
kills one.
This ought TO be enough to arouse
the people OF every community 10 the
necessity or taking proper precau
tons against typhoid fever, and the
State Board OF Health Is authority
for the statement that this terrible
disease is due to neglect, to filth aud
to the failure TO observe proper ny
genie conditions.
1t is admitted the circular goes on,
that typhoid fever is an infection 5
disease, transmitted from enc person
to another by an injecting agent
called a germ, which ls found In the
blood aud focal discharges of one
sick with this disease, which germ Is
more virulent and active when the
fever is at it's height.
There is popular impression
that typhoid fever comes from bad
air, but the State Board of Health
says that it is positively asserted and
proven that this disease 10 ninety
nine cases out of hundred is con
trscted from drinking water. Many
people believe that if the water
which they drink is clear and taste
less and without odor it is pure
water, but the State Board of Health
says that drinking water may possess
all these qualities and yet be rank
poisoned with the fever germ. The
people are, therefore, warned against
drinking water especially at this sea-
son of the year, which they do not
know to be perfectly pure. There
is one safe rule for people living IN
town, and that is not to drink well
water or spring water. People out.
side of town who drink water from g
well or a spring should be quite sure
that there is no cess-pOol or cemetery
or other communicating intiuenc,
within the vicinity of their water
supply.
Next to water, we are told tina
the most common carrier of the ty.
phoid fever germ is milk, and it il
further said that the germ is ordi
narily introduced into milk by waite
being mixed with or by washing
milk cans or vessels with water
Typhoid fever may also come from
defective sewerage, unclean prem
ises and filth generally.
1t would appear from this that i
people will drink pure water anC
pure milk, or no milk at all, and keel
their premises entirely clean, the,
will be reasonably safe from typhoi,
fever. At least oy observing thes
general precautions the danger vii
be reduced to the minimum.

THE POLICE WITHDRAWN.
Guarding of Cars and Barns Left In
the Hands of the Deputy Sheriffs.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-THE police
department to-day withdrew its officers
from all the cars and power houses of
the st. Louis Transit Company and re-
turned them to their regular beats. The
Transit Company continues to augment
its force of non-union employees and its
transportation facilities at ratio tina.
promises to see the system in full
swing before many days have passed.
AT to-day's hearing in the coroner's
inquest over the bodies of strikers and
a citizen killed last Sunday by mem
berS of the Sheriff's posse comitatus,
the testimony adduced tended 10 show
that Deputy Sheriff Marsh shot Fred
erick Bohne, the citizen in question,
but the witnesses disagreed as to the
deputy's provocation for shooting. At
ter hearing the testimony of about
thirty-fve witnesses, the jury returned
e verdict of homicide. Several of the
deputies testified that Police Lieuten-
ant Stack ordered the deputy sheriffs
To fire on the crowd, while Stack de-
olared he did all in his power TO pre-
vent the deputies from firing.
The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was a startling development at
the inquest. 1t is believed that Marsh
has left the city. No further search
will be made for him, probably, unless
friends of the dead man seek to prese-
cute him, the verdict of the coroner's
jury being considered practically an
exoneration.
The jury returned this verdict:
I'VE find that Frederick Bohne came
to his death from gunshot wound at
hn Of
Marsh, and that the shooting was pro-
yoked by Harry Strechert."
Corner Lloyd says it now devolves
upon Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Johnson to issue a warrant or not, as
ne sees fit.
Chief of Police Campbell, Attorney
Thomas Z. Stepp and a number of
special deputy sheriffs applied for war
Iants this Afternoon against the twenty
street car strikers arrested on Wash
ington avenue Sunday afternoon at the
time OF the shooting.
Later the request for warrants was
withdrawn by the police department
for lack of evidence that the men car
RED concealed weapons. The men will
be discharged, 1t is said.
An attempt was made by crowd at
Bremen and Salisbury streets this af-
ternon to attack a woman who had just
alighted from a Union line car. Two
deputy sheriffs dispersed the crowd
and rescued the woman.

TEN TSIN, Wednesday, June 49,
The international expedition is now
at Lang Fang, half way to Pekin.
The troops found the station destroy
ed and two hundred yards of the track
torn up. Upon approaching the sta
ton they found the boxers still car
rying on the work of destruction. but
the latter bolted into the village upon
the approach of the advance party. A
shell from six-pOunder was dropped
into the village and the boxers fed
up the line. Above the station a small
party was discovered engaged in tear
ing up the track, but few long-range
shots drove them off, The patrol re-
turned this morning and reports that
mile and quarter of the track has
been destroyed. The expedition will
remain for the present at Lang Fang.
A courier who arrived this morning
from Pekin and Lang Fang brought a
letter from the American legation
stating that Gen. Tung Fuh Slang in
tends to oppose the entrance of the
foreign troops into Pekin. Ten thou
sand troops are guarding the south
gate. The courier reports that it is
said that upwards of two thousand
boxers" are in the immediate neigh
borhood of Lang Fang.

BRITISH POSITION STATED.

LONDON, June 14.-In the House OF
Commons to-day the parliamentary ses-
rotary of the foreign Office, William st.
John Brodrick, made a statement in
regard to the position of affairs in the
Chinese empire. Her Majesty's minis
ter at Pekin," said he, has been in
constant communication with the Chin
csc government since the attack by
boxers on peaceable converts and the
destruction of three villages about
ninety miles from Pekin on May u.
"On May Is Sir Claude Macdonald
reminded the Taung Lii Yame Chinese
foreign Office, of his unceasing warn
ings during the last six months of the
danger of not taking adequate meas
ures to suppress the boxers and an i'm
perial decree was subsequently issued.
On May 20 meeting of the diplomatic
corps was held at which a resolution
was unanimously adopted calling on
the TSung Lo Yamen to take more
stringent measures. 1t was not then
considered necessary TO bring the in
ternational guards to Pekin, but the
British marine guard at Tien Tsin,
which had been under orders to leave,
was detained there and two British
ships were sent to Taku.
"As no specific measures were taken
by the Tsung Ii Yamen, the diplomatic
corps met again May 26 and decided,
failing the receipt of satisfactory re-
ply from the Tsung Ii Yamen to sum-
mon guards. This course was adopted

LONDON, June ia special dis
patch from Shanghai says an uncon-
hrmed report has reached there from
Tfen Tsin to the effect that a foreign
legation has been burned and that
a minister has been killed. The
names, it is added, are withheld
pending a conformation of the re-
port.
1t is further rumored that the in
fernational relief parties are exper-
fencing great difficulties in regard
to provisions and water. 1t is be-
lieved that the delay has been
caused by the fear that the force
was insufficient to overcome the op-
position that might be encountered
and thus precipitate a massacre at
the capitol.
1T is said that the Japanese have
sent two more cruisers and have
landed 800 additional troops.
A telegram received from Yunnan
Flu says that the English and French
missions there have been burned
and that the foreign residents have
taken refuge in the viceroy's resi-
dence.
The trouble, this dispatch says, is
reported to be due to French in
trigues.
A special dispatch from Shanghai
received early to-day, said the po-
sitiOns of the legations MT Pekin
was most critical. According to this
dispatch, 10000 Chinese troops were
drawn up outside the gates of the
city to oppose the relief force, and
guns were trained ON the Aynericou
British and Japanese legations. The
American, Russian and Japanese
ministers have sent cOuriers to Tfen
Tsin asking for 1000 troops of each
nationality.

The contesting delegations are much
disturbed over the action of the ma
tional committee last night in refusing
the Alabama men place on the tenn
porary roll of the convention. They
fear they may be unable to obtain
seats in the convention, as in the rush
OF proceedings the committee on Gre
dentials may not wish to take up very
much time in examining the merits or
the cases. Many of the contesting DEL
egations are to-day importuning men,
bers OF the committee TO decide their
cases one way or another in order that
the States may have full representa-
ton in the preliminaries of the con-
vention.
The action of the committee in the
Alabama cases is said to have been
largely inspired by desire
To Discourage Contests,
as it makes little difference this year
which way the decision goes the COM
mittee thinks it would be a very good
time to inaugurate a reform. One
member OF the committee has suggest
ed that the various contesting delega-
lions should be made to agree among
themselves or be refused admission to
the convention. but the feeling dis
played in many of these fractional fights
makes such course highly improb-
able.
While there may be some discussion
of the resolution introduced by Mr..
