SQUALOR AMONG CHINESE.
Filthy Condition. Surrounding Sal.
mon Cannery Workers.

Horrible conditions existing among the
Chinese aboard vessels in the Alaskan sal
mon canning industry are portrayed in
rcpor, which Assistant Surgeon l.. l..
I.umsden at Angels Island. California; has
just made to the marine hospital service
He says a number of vessels have recently
returned to San Francisco from the Alas
kan country with a history OF several
deaths of these Chinese workers. There
were no physicians aboard. and as rule
no satisfactory account of the nature of the
illness was obtainable from responsible per-
sons.
These vessels says the report, sail
from San Francisco in March and April,
each vessel taking about 125 Chinese TO
work at the canneres. Last spring nearly
1900 Chinese were taken from San Fran
cisco for this work. Bubonic plague was
known to exist in their section of the city
a the time Of their leaving. and no precau-
tiOnary measures to prevent an outbreak
among them were taken. Examination of
the glandular regions of the personnel of
all these vessels having doubtful sanitary
history was made at quarantine. but with
negative results in every case. However IT
was observed that at least per cent had
an oedena of the lower eXtremities. accom-
panied by general weakness, the more
marked cases being unable to stand with
out assistance. These cases presented a re-
mhrkable similarity of symptoms
The assistant surgeon says he has been
unable to arrive at definite conclusion as
to the true nature of the disease. The
symptoms. while resembling them are not
entirely those of either scurvy or bcriberi
The disease is probably one of malnutri-
ten, resulting from eXhausting labor, poor
quality OF food and filthy SURROUNDINGS
These Chinese are recruited from the poor
est and toughest element of Chinatown and
held in practical slavery by the Chinese
bosses who provide this labor. They are
often worked eighteen hours day and live
in barracks in utter disregard Of cleanliness
and sanitation The fish they eat is fire.
quently well advanced in putreficat ton. 1t
is difficult to fully conceive of the filth
hess aboard. The Chinese quarters are dark
and damp. and the sanitary conditions are
unfit to print. The white men on these
vessels dsclaim responsibility for the condi-
tons under which the Chinese live and
transact all business with them through
Chinese foreman. the so-called Number
One Man" Five thousand Of these Chinese
have recently come into Chinatown, San
Francisco, and with their lowered vitality
would fall ready pray to plague, cholera
or any infectious disease and menace public
health. 1t is urged that these coasting vel
sells be made subject to the same laws as
vessels engaged in deep sea voyages.

RURD FOR CONGRESS-
Abilene Man Threatens to Enter the
Race.

The candidates for congressman-at
large in the Republican ranks are ap-
pearing in every county in the state.
Some months ago a, Herington doctor
sprung his boom, but it soon burst, and
now Dickinson county comes to the
front with its second ambitious man
this winter.
C. W. Hurd, of Abilene. is talked
about for two places. The first is for
congressman in the Fifth district.
Upon the contingency that Ed. Little
gets into the race for congressman at
large it is said Dickinson county will
present as a counter irritant the name
of Mr.. Hurd for the place on the state
ticket
A H Ellis, of Beloit, who has been
overwhelmingly defeated for congress-
man in the Sixth district on separate
occasions is also talked of as the Re-
publican nominee for coRgressman-at-
large
This makes about thirty men who are
squirting in the direction of this Office
but that is all it will amount to.
There are two factions of the Repub-
lican party in Kansas now. The Bur-
ton and Leland people. Burton and his
friends have united on Grant Hornaday
of Fort Scott. 1t is the supposition that
Leland and his friends are for Case
Broderick.
Others who have aspirations will be
compelled to beat these two combina-
tions before being able to get into the
race.

SAVED BYA DREAM.
WOman's Narrow Escape From
Being Buried Alive.

Chicago, Jan. ia Chronicle special
from Indianapolis, Ind, says: Mrs. Ell
len Crosby has had a narrow escape
from being buried alive in Crawford
county. She had been pronounced
dead and preparations for the burial
were being made. While this was in
progress her daughter 10 years old,
worn out by exhaustion lay down to
rest, but her eyes had scarcely closed
before she sprang up and perempto-
rily insisted that her mothers body
be returned to the bed. She remarked
that her mother had called to her in
her sleep, saying, Mary, don't let them
bury me alive"
The undertaken complied with the
daughters request, saying it was but
a dream, but the daughter stoutly
claimed the contrary and would not
be denied. Nearly eight hours passed
when Mrs. Crosby slowly opened her
eyes and looked at her daughter, who
had remained by her bedside constantly
watching for return of life. Mrs
Crosby is now considered in a fair way
of recovering.

BROKEN TIES.
Rupture Between Cy Leland
and George A. Clark.
They Have Worked Together
For Several Years.
CONGRESS TIMBER.
Candidates For Congressman
at-Large Increasing.
Report That C. ID. Walker Will
Enter First District Race.

One Of the things about which the
politicians are talking is the breaking
of political ties between George A.
Clark, secretary of state, and Cyrus Le-
land.
In Kansas there is no more conspic-
uous example of the word pals than
there is found in the relations which
have heretofore existed between Mr.
Clark and Mr. Leland.
They have been sworn friends for
years, and although several efforts
have been made by designers to cause
break between the twos men they
have never succeeded.
This year political conditions have
separated Clark and Leland, and they
are fighting each other with as much
vigor as they have fought the other
fellows for years. Mr.. Clark is a Bur
ton man. Mr.. Leland is not There
fore what Mr.. Leland wants Mr.. Clark
feels that he must oppose What Clark
wants Leland opposes.
There are some Of the Burton men
who have claimed that Clark would
eventually bring Leland into the Bur
ton camp, but the political alignments
are taking such courses that they are
gradually getting farther and farther
apart. Each week of development in
the political plans shows that the paths
of the two men lie apart.
While Mr.. Clark is not proclaiming
his opposition to Mr.. Leland, yet he
makes no secret of it to his friends.
When the incidents of the campaign
were new it was with some difficulty
that Clark convinced his close friends
that he and Leland would not work to-
gether this year. However such is the
fact, although Leland and Clark remain
personal friends.

'HELLING KEPT UP.

London, Jan. 16, 2:5O p. m.-The com
plete absence of news from Natal up to
this hour proves that the censorship
will allow nothing to pass until Gen.
Buffers plans are executed or have
failed. Even Gen. Roberts, in his re-
port of yesterday evening, refrained
from mentioning a word about Natal
or Gen. Butler From the other col
umns there is little news of moment.
Afodder river advices of yesterdays
date only report daily long range she'll
ing, from which the Beers are sup
posed to have suffered severely.
A despatch from Sterkstrom, dated
Monday, January 15 reports that Gen.
Tiatacre's troops had made a demon
stration beyond Molteho. in the direc-
tion of Stormberg, in the belief that
the Beers intended to seize AIoIteno.
The burghers were not sighted and the
British remained at Nolteno. Arrivals
from Stormberg estimate that there are

volted colonists and Free Staters

president Kruger has issued a proc

official organ, suggests that the mo-
ment the British cross the Border the
gold industry should be irretrievably
destroyed.
President Kruger issued a circular,
dated January s, to Boer conmandants
and burgherS urging them to show
more energy in the Transvaal cause.
He quotes Psalm 80, verse Z, as Cod
given instructions to the burghers, and
says that the British have fixed their
faith in Psalm SO. He also quotes from
Psalm SO. verses 13 and Il. and asserts
that he has searched the Bible without
being able to find any other mode
which can be followed by the Beers,
who must fight in the name of the
