In advices dated March 81, received by

1t is estimated that the cost of fight
ing the plague will reach at least 81
600. 1000. Il large part of these expenses
having been incurred in finding homes for
the people who were burned out by the
fires. particularly the great cOntagration
on January 20.
Heavy expense has been incurred III
building the detention camps that have
been put up and for provisions of the
people kept in them. The salaries of
physicians. $3.50 per month, also make
up a considerable part of the payroll,
and there have been a number of paid
inspectors, fumigators, heads of depart
ments, etc.
Eight hundred japanese residents of
Honolulu, who were burned out in the
Chinatown fire on January 20, have petl-
toned the government to exempt them
from taxes for the year 1900. 1t is
doubtful if the request will be granted,
for so to do would be to open the way
for similar claims on the part of some
10000 Chinese and nearly as many ma
tivC@
The court of claims will consider the
matter next week.
This is the sixth day in the present
series since the last case of plague The
end IS iii sight. From December - to
this date there have been 20 cases of

of the released waters carried away the
buildings which supply waterpower to
the mills along the river bank and then
subsidized. It is possible, however, that
some Of the squatters' houses below the
city and down close to the river level
were destroyed. In the valley below the
water may have destroyed considerable
rich farm property.
For several days past the river has
been at a high stage owing to the con
tinuous rain about the headwaters of
the Colorado and this fact, which was
well known about Austin, it is thought
probably caused the people residing
within reach of a possible flood to be
prepared for an emergency.

MERRILL MILLS START.
Running Full Blast, Having Started
on Summers Run.

Merrill Wis, April 7.-ISpecial. /
The mills of the Gilkey x Arson COM
pany and of the c. 2. Miller company
are now running full blast, having start,
ed on their summers run. They arc well
equipped with facilities for the log sup
ply, the one company receiving twenty
cars daily, the ether having 100000 feet
banked above their mill.
There is not the usual quantity of logs
in the Wisconsin river this spring as
were fiCated down to the mills last year,
because SO many logs are coming IN by
rail The Wisconsin river valley has
been more fortunate in weather condl-
tiOns in getting out the stocks Of logs
contemplated than any other lumber dis
trict in the Northwest. The prospects
are there will be Il fair supply for the
season, as compared with the manufac-
turing capacity of the valley, With cost
OF production materially increased over
former years.
Winter logging operations are about
over and mills will all be running by the
middle of next week. Market demands
have been very good and all are looking
forward to an active and prosperous sea-
son.
Logs on the Wisconsin river this spring
will fall % per cent. short of last sea-
sons stock. 1t is estimated there will
be 12O.OO0,O0O feet of lumber manufac
tured in Merrill this year.

Death Of Gen. ViIlebois Mareuil
Leaves a Deep, Sad impress
sion in Paris.

Paris, April The death of the
French colonel, De Villebois Mareuil,
commander of the foreign legion of the
Boer forces, has made a deep, sad i'm
preston here. The papers make tragic
comments on the event, which, they say,
gives France one more grudge against
England
The deceased officer had many friends
in the parliamentary world; and his
graphic letters, communicated from time
to time to the Paris papers by the mem
bers of his family, had been eagerly read
COmte de Villebois Mareuil, former depu-
ty from the department of MayOnne. re-
celved many expressions of sympathy On
the death of his brother. The comte in
tends to ask the British government for
a safe conduct to allow him to seek the
body and bring it back to France.
London, April IA special dispatch
from Kroonst ON Monday gives the last
appeal of Gen de Villebois Mareuil to
the French legions: ITO the Legionaries
who have known me as their cOmrade,
officers, noncOmmisssOned officers and
men: | know you have not forgotten me
and that we understood each other.
Therefore | appeal to you. There is here
IN front of the Naal a people whom it is
desired to rob of its rights, its properties
and its liberty in order to satisfy some
capitalists by its downfall. The blood
that runs in the veins of this people is in
part French blood. France, therefore,
owes to it some striking manifestations
of help. You are the men whom a sol
dlers temperament, apart from all the
great obligations of nationality has gath
cred under the peoples flag and may that
flag bring with it the best of fortune to
me. You are the finished t~pe of a troop
that attacks and knows not retreat"
