COFFEE AND PLAGUE.
Market for Coffee Firmer On Account
of Plague.

NEW YORK, March SIT was an
nounced yesterday that the cargo of
$4,000 sacks of coffee arriving by the
British ship Timandra from Santos,
will be discharged into lighters in the
Upper Bay. The vessel is now in quar-
antine for observation ana disinfec-
ton.
The report circulated in the down
town coffee district early this week that
the bubonic plague had broken out in
Rosario, Brazil, has received official
confirmation. The effect of this news
upon the spot coffee market was to
increase the tendency to firmness on
the part of Santos and other coffees,
although the report as yet, has had
but little effect upon dealings on the
Exchange. It was noticeable that large
transactions between brokers and
roasters were harder to negotiate.

PLAGUE GERMS IN DUST
HEALTH BOARD TO INVESTIGATE
A THEORY.
Silt From Long House Will Be over
hauled in Laboratory-Fee For Inoc-
culation With Prophylactic.

The Board of Health is making ex-
periments in it's laboratory which may
determine whether or not plague may
be contracted by inhalation. This the
DRY has been much mooted of late. At
the same time the evidence has been
wholly circumstantial although it APP
peared quite strong betimes.
The experiments to be made will be
with dust from the Long premises in
Pawaa occupied by Kahoohana, the
last plague victim. 1t is affirmed that
the man walked barefooted about the
place. DIR. Wood yesterday personally
gathered floor sweepings from the
rooms. The fine silt will be used, and
an effort made to cultivate any germs
found in it, No dust was taken from
the yard, as the bacilli could not live
upon ground affected by the sun.
Yesterday afternoon the Board had
under consideration the matter of
charging for NEGOTIATIONS with the
plague serum. DR.. Wood stated the
facts of the rush to get the preventive
as given in The Star yesterday. Each
dose of the serum, he stated, would cost
about 81. Besides, there was the eX
pense of a physician to administer the
injections. He thought that a charge
of 50 would limit the NEGOTIATIONS to
such persons only as desire to travel.
On motion of George w. Smith the fee
was made 50.
The matter of throwing it open and
inocculating every applicant without
charge was discussed, but it was point
ed out that this would be very expen-
sive. However important, the Board
did not feel in position at present, to
incur the immense outlay of money.
Mr.. Towse applied for a fund of $50
to be kept always on hand to pay for
rats. The system of cash tags, ETC.,
was not satisfactory to rat catchers,
and the money should be more conven-
lent. 1t was voted to allow the with
drawal of $50 as necessity may arise
for the purpose indicated.
DIR. Wood reported that a large
amount of private effects had been
damaged in the houses back of the Ju-
dietary building by fumigation. He had
asked the parties to draw up their
lists of injured articles to be submitted
to the court of claims.
The sanitary regulations of the Board
were extended to take in the district
extending five miles each way from the
Executive building.
A petition recommending an inspector
of restaurants was read! A. NJ. Mellis
was endorsed by the petitioners for the
place. Action deferred.
