CHINESE ARE RELLIGERANT.
HiGhbnders at San francisco Oppose
II. alth Boards Flans.

San Francisco, May 21.-Chinese
highbnders and the board of health
have had clash over the bubonic
plague question. and up to the present
time the highbinders seem to be ahead.
So far, by threats to assassnate any
Chinese who submits to inoculation
against the plague. they have prevent
ed the Chinese from taking the treat
ment. There are 25,OOO Chinese in the
Chinese quarter, and they are terror
lied at the prospect of vaccination
with the haffkine prophylactic.
1t was stated at meeting of the
board of health to-day that at first
the Chinese We're willing to undergo
the treatment, but that the highbinder
element circulated the report that the
whites had conspired to kill off the
Chinese and had adopted this means
to do it. The story had immediate eff
feet. and it will require force to make
the Chinese submit.
The Chinese merchants have closed
their stores, not on account of fear of
vaccination, but for fear their stores
will be wrecked by the ignorant Chi
nese masses who hold them RESPONSE
bic for the action of the board of
health.
So far as plague cases are concerned
there have been no developments and
no new cases have been discovered.

Among other features Of the South
African war the new developments in
the use of the heliograph are worth
noticing. The idea of telegraphing by
means of flashes Of sunlight first came
into prominence during the Franco
Prussian war. The electric light was
at once suggested to make the system
independent of interference from
clouds, but the dimcuty OF getting
electricity in the field has thus far in
terfered with a successful combination
Of the two inventions. In the present
war the British have made some use
of the electric searohlights from their
ships for purposes Of optical tele-
graphy, but sunlight is still their main
reliance. A writer In the Engineer
ing Masasine for May states that the
ordinary range of the heltograph Is
Afty-fivs miles, but when the electric
arc light is used the range can be ex-
tended 10 400 miles. The success with
which the heliograph was used in
communicating with the besieged gar
rt,ops Of Ladysmith and Kimberley Is
a GOOD demonstration Of the progress
,aade With This Invention since 1870

GOES BACK ON SILVER.
Walsh Has scheme TO Throw lnfiu.
ence Against Sacred Ratio.

Des Moines, June 2S.-A smooth
scheme of Charles Walsh. the Iowa
member of the democratic national
committee, to throw his strength to
the anti-silver wing of the Iowa dele
cation to the Kansas City convention
was made known here yesterday. Mr..
Walsh is delegate-at-large to the con-
vention and E. B. Evans, of Des
Moines, is an alternate. Both are op-
posed to Editor John S. Murphy, of the
Dubuque Telegraph, who wants oabe
on the resolutions committee and hopes
to help secure reatfirmation of theChi-
cago platform. Mr.. Walsh has decided
to withdraw as a delegate and allow
Mr.. Evans to vote in his place in the
convention. He does this in order to
strengthen the anti-silver ranks rather
than openly oppose the wishes of some
of the other members of the national
committee.

HAIL WRECKS CROPS.
Terrific Central Iowa storm Does Inn.
mense Damage.

Eldora, June 2s.-A terrific hail
storm passed just north OF the town
of Hubbard, in this county, Tuesday
night. 1t is known to have covered a
tract about two.miles wide and extend
ed for several miles. Crops in the path
of the hail storm were almost ami
hilated, barley, rye and oats being
beaten into the ground and entirely
destroyed. The leaves We're stripped
from the corn and it is believed so
badly damaged the stalks that they
will hardly recover. On the farm of o.
Hecker, who owns half section Just
north of Hubbard, everything suffered
from the storm. Whole fields of grain
were pounded into the mud. His loss
will be enormous. Farmers Lohr, Beck
meier, Kulhman and others, most of
them owners of large tracts of land,
suffered the same fate The full ex-
tent of the damage is not yet known,
but it will be enormous. Some loss of
stock is reported, but it is not thought
to be large. In this city the hail was
not severe. A few windows were bro
ken. The rainfall was heavy. At
Hampton the rainfall was heavy, near
ly an inch on the level.

evening in a large watering tank. be-

minutes she missed the child and stlrt-

the water trough near the windmill
she saw the little one floating in the
water. She used all her strength try

ran to the house for her mother, who
got the body from the water too late
for any help.

A shrevd Purchase.

Des Moines, June 2S.-Iowa state in
stitutions have flour to bake at least,
if not TO burn. In April the state
board of control bought 5000 barrels
at So per barrel. Now a barrel costs
$4.s5, with a prospect of seeing SIS. On
the 5000 barrels about $500 has been
saved the state. But in addition the
contract provides that the board may
take as much more as it elects. This
means that it can buy at the minimum
price maximum quantity of the staff,
saving an indefinite quantity of silver,
which is not going up hand in hand
with wheat these times. Nor are the
dealers who sell it losing money, for
they bought the wheat as soon as they
knew they could sell the flour. The
board intends to buy enough flour at
the minimum price to last the state
institutions for the next six months af-
ter October 1.

I St. Louis, June ss. The posse COM

out of service yesterday. Only one
company remains and it will be dis
banded within ten days. The fight Of
the union against the company has
now resolved itself into a boycott
which is proving effectual on many of
the Transit lines. As the cars run
without meeting with obstruction or
violence it is considered that the cfti-
zen deputies are no longer necessary.
The police believe they will be able to
control the situation. Many members
of the posse are paying SIG for the
guns which they carried and will pre-
serve them as souvenirs.
