short time yesterday. In an interview,

Formerly the horses all rode in the

The horses suffered greatly from the
chatting OF the slings, and we expect
fewer losses by disoarding them,
We have on board 100000 pounds of
oats and fresh water enough to last
until we reach Manila
I'VE will take what is called the
Southern route and call at Hilo where
the horses will be put ashore and given
weeks rest"
Captain Butts says that the ship is

TO PARIS IN 1900.

The passenger department of the Chi

has taken advantage Of the current in

printed for free distribution one Of the
most charming books Of the season, en-
titled. "Glimpses Across the Sea-" It's
contents describe a recent voyage
across the Atlantic made by Sam T.
Glover, journalist and author, and in
cludes his diversified experiences in
London and Paris. The "Glimpses"
are entertaining and instructive to the
prospective western patrons Of the Chi

who may be contemplating a trip to
Europe. The enterprise Of the railway
company in auguratng such happy
departure from the ordinary methods
of advertising is commendable.

SOME POINTED OPINIONS.
DR.. Bishop Makes Recommendation
Concerning Anti-Plague Move
ment.

Editor Astorian According to ac-
counts In your paper there seems to
be some stir among the authorities o.
our city regarding the determination
OF rats, and possibly regarding other
sanitary measures. But the most that
seems TO have been accomplished has
been TO recommend that something BE-
done and that somebody else do It; or
to be more specific. that the rats be ex-
terminated and that q bounty be paid
so that the boys and Cinnamon will
catch them in order to MAKE little
pocket money. understand also that
the United States quarantine physi-
clan has been approached to see II he
would not do something to clean up
the city. All this is In a line with As
toria's way of doing things in the past
II would not be bad idea II the city
took the matter in hand itself instead
of trying to turn 1t of on the United
States quarantine officers, the Chinese
and small boys. There is city health
officer, who, with the chief of police as
sanitary inspector, has ample power to
do all that is necessary to destroy the
rats and clean up Swilltown. The ex-
pense would be but slight. The city
would probably have to pay for killing
the rats. but the cleaning up Of houses
and premises must be paid for by the
owners.
This means work for the ,ity physi-
clan and chief of police, but 1t is
what they are paid for and ought to
do. They can soon practically exter-
inmate the rats by a systematic method
of trapping, which the hap hazard, get
me-body -else-to-do-it method OF pay
ing a bounty will never accomplish.
Halfway measures in dealing with his
matter. like all halfway measures, are
very likely to prove the most expen-
sive in the end.
One thing we must recognize at once.
1t is not in our power to prevent our
Chinese from coming in contact with
the contagion; for Il II comes 1t will
probably be in merchandise or food
from infected places in China, The real
danger and expense lies not in handling
an isolated case or two, but in eradi-
eating 1t after it has established To-
cal center of infection. II can estab-
lish such a center only where filth ex-
lists. Fifty thousand dollars might not
be sufficient to eradicate an established
infection, while five hundred dollars,
properly handled, would render the city
practically proof against infection.
WIN the city through its council and
health officers prepare itself for pos
sible touch with the plague, or will 1t
go on in the same old way and talk?
that the rats ought to be killed; that
Swilltown ought to be cleaned up; Of
how the small boy and Chinaman can
become capitalists catching rats at the
rate of fifty for dollar, and that Au-
ditor Nelson ought not to object to
keeping tally of the noses and tails?
