PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Suspicious Death in Chinatown
Was From the Disease.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 12.-The board
Of health today began a house toulouse iu-
spection of Chinatown, because they are
now firmly convinced that the Chinese who
died week ago succumbed to genuine bu-
bonic plague. This decision was reached
late last night. after hearing the testimony
Of Federal quarantine officers, who ex-
amiued the blood OF animals inoculated
with matter from glands of the dead China
man and found it fun OF what he declares
are bacll!i of the plague His diagnosis
was concurred in by several other ex-
perts. The guinea pig and rat died but the
monkey that was inoculated is still alive,
though very weak.
The board decided, as this case may be
merely sporadic not TO Quarantine China
town, but to establish systematic fnspec-
tion o. the quarter aud to insist that all
sick Chinese be submitted for treatment
to white doctors and all dead be promptly
examined

the chairman of the Senate and Housf
Committees on Canals and is endeavoTins
TO find out definitely just what Congress is
going TO do.
In speaking Of his visit last night, NJ
Hutin stated that he was not at liberty to
admit that negotiations were pending but
said that an American company could
easily be organized TO complete the
Panama Canal, if the Government will not
purchase the franchise and make it a ma
tiOnal institution.
Il hope that Congress will direct the
Secretary Of War to purchase the rights
and property OF the Panama Company,
said he but l cannot say what the c0ndi-
tions viii be, nor upon what price will
decide"
In December last a Panama Canal Com
pany was organized in New York. under
the laws of New Jersey, with capital of
$50, 000, ,009 for the purpose OF taking over
the property and rights of the present

10 la2, Mr. Richardson of Tennessee
changing his vote from aye to no in order
TO move a reconsideration.
MT Weeks moved to lay the motion to
reconsider on the table, snd it was agreed
to by vote Of 1872 to 129
Ihe resolution OF the majority OF the
committee, that William A. Young was
rot elected member OF the Fifty sixth
congress from the Second district of Nir-
gina, was agreed to- the vote being 1S2 to
1876
The resolution declaring that Richard a.
Wise was elected TO the Fifty-siNth Con-
gress from the Second district of Virginia
ana was entitled to the seat was then
adopted. The vote was i32 to 123.
Mr.. Wise appeared AZ the bar OF the
House and was sworn in.
The Urgent Deficiency Bill.
The House in committee of the whole
then proceeded to consider the Urgent De-
fciency bill reported last week.
The bill carries a total OF sl,439, $50,
more than two-thirds of which is for the
Navy Department and the Government
Printing Office. Mr.. Cannon of Illinois eN-
piained in detail the provisions OF the bill.
One item was $685. 900 for the Navy to be
expended at the discretion of the Presi-
dent. An appropriation IL similar Ian
guage for the sum OF $500. 900 was made in
the general bill for the current year. 1t
had all been expended in the first half OF
the year. and the s125.OO0, Mr. Cannon
said. was necessary to meet unforeseen
contingencies constantly arising. which
could not be specified.
Mr.. Richardson, discussing the appro-
priation for the Printing Office called at
tention to what he characterized, the
workings of the Paper Trust. 1t had. in
the first place. reduced the number of bid
ders to furnish pap ,r to the Government
from ffty-siy last ysar to thirty this year.
and in the second place increased the
prices which the Government had to pay
from 40 TO 80 per cent. He had introduced
bills TO refer the trusts to the Inter
state Commerce Committee for regulation.
and he hoped that the articles controlled
by them could be put on the free list.
Mr.. Steele of Indiana said he had receiv-
ell letters from many editors complaining
about the increased cest OF printing paper.
which had gone up from $50 TO $50 ton.
He said that inasmuCh as the tariff on
wood pulp was but SO ton, they could
see that the tariff had but little effect
upon the price of paper. Mr.. Steele said,
he preferred TO be subject to the control
of trust at home rather than trust OF
foreigners.
Alter further discussion an amendment
was agreed to appropriatirg S25,000 for
printing for the Navy Department. The
bill was then reported to the House and
passed.
At $50 the House adjourned until to-
day.
