Every Preeaution Against Plague
Taken nt American Ports

Every PrecautiOn AEainst Plague
Taken nt American Ports.
NEW YORK, Sept. Extraordinary
precautions will now be taken by the
health officers Of Atlantic ports TO guard
against the introduction of the bubGnic
plague.
Advices from London this morning re-
ported that the disease had been discov-
cred there. With Glasgow seriously infect
ed, the communication of the plague TO Lon
don, the world s commercial clearing house,
viii increase heavily the responsibility of
the quarantine authorities on this side OF
the water. Dr. Doty health officer of this
port, speaks reassuringly to the public
regarding the difficulty of infection and
adds further. assurances that quarantine
regulations will be vigorously enforced
while any danger exists
1t was in pursuance of this purpose TO
take no chances that the Anchor line
steamship City of Rome was detained
yesterday on her arrival here from G!as-
gov, and vessel, passengers, and baggage
were subjected to a searching examln2-
tion. which lasted for hours, before the
steamship was released.
The first case of the plague in the Scot
t1Sh city was not reported until August
| -. and the City of Rome sailed from
| Greenock, twenty-one miles below Gias-
| gov, on the 18th. It was to be expected
| then that, if the City of Rome was de-
| tanned under these circumstances, the
Allan State line steamship State of Ne
| braska, which sailed from Glasgow di-
| rect, although Two days before the An
| cher liner, would be detained on her ar
| rival today, and such the ease. She
: was kept al Quarantine for five hours
| while a careful inspection was made OF
| every passenger. All were found well

The State of Nebraska brought 252 cab

LONDON. Sept 1.-The Evening News
asserts that two cases of bubonic plague
have developed among laborers on Thames
docks Local physicians say that there
should be no anxiety as every precaution
has been taken TO prevent the disease from
spreading in London.
The sanitary officer of the port however,
denies the News story. He states that
there is no case OF plague in the city of
London He explains that the present
scare is a repetition OF that caused by the
discovery OF suspicious cases in July and
that it has no further foundation.
On September a suspected case was
treated in the Lock Hospital but dag
nosis taken at the end OF the first twenty
four hours proved that the patient was
net suffering from the plague.
The medical officer OF the London Coun-
" Council, Dr.. Shirley Foster Murphy. de-
clares that it is impossible for plague cas-
es to exist without being reported to him.
The Atlantic Transport Company's steam
ers Menominee and Mesaba are now
berthed at the Victoria Albert docks where
the scare originated.
! GLASGOW, Sept 4.-The bubonic plague
outbreak here probably originated last
June in house adjoining that from which
the first patient was taken. At that time
Mrs Branning died. She was living
alone aud her body was not discovered un-
I'll a week later, when it had become de-
composed and partially eaten by rats.
A Mrs. Edison was employed to clean
tho boIISa and she necame III and was re-
moved TO the hospital, where she is now
suffering from enteric fever. Mrs. Brogan
an intimate friend of Mrs. Edison; a Mrs
Malloy, and Mrs. Brogan's husband sub
sequently died. The wake held over the
body of Mrs. MaIioy communicated the in
lection to others and the conditions are
! favorable to the further spread of the dis
ease through the wandeTiDgs of the infect
! ed rats
| The health authorities are constantly re-
| ceiving advices regarding restrictions pIac-
| ed upon this port by the authorities abroad
! The shipping trade has already suffered
severely. The price Of chartering vessels
! has been advanced
| The restrictions against shipping cover
a radius of ninety-tw miles about Glas-
/ gov and include all of tie Scotch coal ex-
porting stations.

a despatch from Paris says that it is
reported that certain powers propose for
mulating a programme embodying the con-
ditfons upon which peace can be restored
IN China, reserving the question Of the
evacuation Of Pekiu in opposition TO Rus
sia's proposal.
The Paris press comments approvingly

tion, but the editors say that France is

mand that such policy not only be theo-

There is practically nothing that is new
in the Chinese diplomatic situation. The
absence OF Lord Salsbury's reply TO the
proposal for the withdrawal of the allied
troops from Pekin renders the matter de-
cidediy indefinite. although it IS conceded
that Great Britain's attitude will be in
opposition to that of Russia.
The increase in he membership OF the
Chinese Peace Commission by the addi-
tion of anti-foreigners 10 that body. With
Ii Hung Chang as its head, is a surprise
and there are suspicious here as to the
