BATTLING WITH THE PLAGUE.


 San Francisco, Jan. S-A letter from Honolulu dated December 30, says:
 "The curious spectacle is presented here of revival of the shotgun quar- antine around the plague infected dis trict, while sanitary measures and dis infection have been practically aban- doned The board of health called out the National Guard three days after Christmas because of the discovery or five new cases of plague, two of which proved fatal. It is now paying $1,0O0 8 day for this protection and the result of this strict guard is demoralizing and many poor Chinese and Japanese who worked in the American quarter are starving.
 "The cordon drawn around the Asiatic district includes many of the leading Chinese and Japanese dealers who live in sanitary fashion and who are nlak- ing a strong protest against needless hardships to which they are subjected. The original method of fumigation of all Oriental merchandise imported has been abandoned, and much of this un- fumigated freight Is handled by Ha- waiians.
 There have been seventeen known cases of bubonic plague in Honolulu to date There were a number of deaths which were probably deaths from plague. but the board of health has not officially so declared them"

 Business Will Soon be Moved to Stam- ford
 Stamford, Jan, 8.-The strike of the polishers at the Branford branch of the Yale & Towne Lock company has de- veloped the fact that the removal of the branch to this city, which has been in contemplation for some time, is about to become reality. though pos slbly 1t will not occur for several months yet.
 With reference to the strike at Bran- ford. President Towne says that the company was paying as much for the work as was being paid by any other company, and would always consider any statement that higher wages were being paid elsewhere The company further stated that if the strike were continued they would close the Bran ford works.
 The proposed consolidation of the works here is on account of superior shipping facilities.

TWO EQUAL VICE PRESIDENTS.
Unique Temporary Situation in the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad

Unique Temporary Situation in the
 New York, New Haven and Hartford
 Railroad
 The discovery was made yesterday that the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad has two vice presi- dents acting co-ordinately. When Vice President Merrill was elected it was an- nounced that Vice President w. D. Bishop, who succeeded Judge John M. Hall when the latter became president, had resigned. It now transpires that MT. Bishop did not resign and that he is still vice president.
 It is learned, furthermore, that the bylaws of the company were amended to fit the situation. There is, apparent ly no numerical grade as to the vice presidencies, Mir. Bishop performing certain duties along the lines of an ex- ecutive, vice president, while MT. Mer- Till is a the head of the opera ting de- partment
 The situation will, however, be but temporary, as President Hall said yes terday that MT. Bishop will resign as soon as certain new arrangements are completed under changes in the bylaws which now provide for the election of a number of vice presidents. Apparently one or two more vice presidents are to be elected, who may have more special ized functions than in the past, and very likely may be more nearly equal in rank.
