the country, than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local

THE TWO IRISH CONVICTS
MIR. POWDERLY DECLINES TO DIS
CUSS THEIR. ADMISSION.
They Claim That Their Conviction
Was Political COnspiracy-
Murder Not Charged.

Commissioner Powderly made a state
ment today regarding the case of two lib
Grated Irish convicts, who will arrive in
New York tomorrow on the steamship Lu-
cania. These men are James Fitz Harris,
alias Skin the Goat and Joe Mullet.
The men were convicted of completely in
the famous Phoenix Park tragedy on May
g. 1852, in which Lord Frederick Cavendfsh
chief secretary for Ireland. and Under Sec
retary Thomas Henry Burke were stabbed
to death.
After serving seventeen years they were
recently pardoned. They are coming to
America under the impression that Ameri-
can sympathizers will raise a purse for
them. Their right to enter the country will
be contested under a law which forbids the
admission of all foreigners who have been
convicted of felony or msdemeanors in
Volving moral turpitude. FitZ Harris and
Mullet. 1t is expected, will advance the
claim that their conviction was a political
conspiracy and therefore they do not come
under the exclusion law.
MIR. PowderIy's Statement
Commissioner General Powderly said:
That is a question which ! do not care
to discuss, for the reason that these immi-
grants, in common with all Others, will be
obliged to pass before the immigrant IN
spectors at the port of arrival, and if their
right of admission is questioned will be
brought before a board of special inquiry.

NOT COMPULSORY.
Chinese mt San Francisco Not Forced
to Use Anti-Plague Serum.

Chinese at San Franctsco Not Forced
to Use Anti-Plague Serum.
the surgeon general of the marine hos
pital service has received report from
Surgeon kinyOun. at San Francisco, in
which he states that the use of the anti
plague serum among the Chinese has lot
been compulsory. but that the opportunity
has been extended them to use it. The
city health authorities have entire charge
of the inocuation No bad results, DR..
Kinyoun says have been reported by the
board of health in connection with the use
of the anti-plague serum. Two cases We're
reported where those inoculated had
slight fever on the following day. The
state board of health of California has
commended the city board of health of
San Francisco for the manner in winch
they have been acting. The federal. state
and local health authorities. the dispatch
says. are working in entire harmony. No
mention is made of any anticipated trouble
with the Chinese residents. There were
no deaths from plague to report. The fed
eral authorities do not have entire charge
of the inocula ton of plague suspects and
those who live in places where the plague
has appeared. They confine their opera
tions to placing inspectors on the borders
of California to prevent the egreSS of Chi
nese from the state. and also at points of
exit from San Francisco to prevent them
from leaving the city. 1noculations have
been given by these federal authorities to
eighteen Chinese and 80 japanese. who
preferred to take them in order to be per-
mitted to leave the city and state. The
city and state authorities have charge of
all other operations. the marine hospital
service only furnishing the anti-plague
serum.
The federal authorities have issued or
ders to all transportation companies not to
sell tickets to Chinese in San Francisco
who have not been inocuated. An attempt
to make house-tO-house inspection among
the Chinese has begun.

Consul General Stowe, at Cape Town,
has reported to the State Department that
the seizures of flour and provisions on the
three vessels-Mashona. Beatrice and Maria
have been finally and satisfactorily set
tied. 1t has been found that the goods were
the property of the consignees in South Af-
rica; that the American shippers are not
and cannot be losers, and that the seizures
will not affect the American trade. Even in
the cases where the consignees refused
the bills drawn upon them by the American
shippers, though the latter might easily
have secured payment through the colonial
courts the British government has pre-
ferred to settle outright by the payment of
the invoice price of all the provisions
seized, with 10 per cent added as profit

Navy Department today from the adjutant
general of The state that the state naval
militia would not be able to make it's reg

that the organization finds its resources
fully taxed by the necessity of manning

Nicaragua, some of which have remained

is one that has received the careful atten-
ton of the department Not only these
but other claims of a meritorious charac-
ter against other governments have re-
ceived similar consideration, for example
the old Spanish and Cuban claims, claims
against Colombia and still others. The de-
partment has given prompt attention to
all current claims and business. and, as
far as possible. it has taken up and ad-
justed other claims of long standing. More
would have been accomplished in this re-
spect had it not been for the multiplicity
of novel and difficult questions arising dur
ing the past three years. AS soon as 1t is
possible to do SO 1t is the purpose of the
department to bring to settlement in some

can citizen against a foreign government,
