Difficult TO Diagnose.

Another employee Of the Pantheon |.
saloon died yesterday afternoon al the /
chinese hospital very suddenly, al
enough he had been iii sOnce Monday .
The dead man was a Chinese aged -
years, and up to yesterday morning
mad had no serious illness. When DR..
JObe visited the man at the hOspitak
at O'Clock the latter was sitting up
in bed and partaking of some rice. Al
> O'Clock he suddenly became worse,
then unconscious and at + o'clock was
dead. The body was brought TO the
mOrgue and pOsJmOrtem performed
by DR.. Garyin, Witnessed by Drs. Wood
an. lobe. The suddenness Of the death
caused some suspicion as to the cause
of death, although DR.. JObe believed
], was case Of typhoid fever.
Inguinal incisions revealed no signs
OF plague nor were any symptoms OBJ
served in the aXillary glands. The
spleen was very much enlarged but no
indications of plague bacilli were OBJ
served. A heavy ClOt was found in the
heart, but this the doctors did not be-
lieve was the cause of death. No
typhoid symptoms were found in the
intestines and the more the physicians
examined the more mystical became
the probable cause. Smears Of blood
from the spleen and from the two In
guinal glands were taken for micro
sCOpiCal examination. AS far as a Clini-
cal diagnosis is concerned the cause of
death appears TO be bronchial pneu-
mOnia.
Previous to his illness the Chinaman
had been employed around the saloon
and the stables connected Herewith,
and had slept in loft over the stable.
/ The peculiar circumstances attend
/ ing this case. in connection with that
/ Of Quon Fat Man. formed basis for
/ much concern and it was at first
/ thought that another plague death had
been added to the list.
Said to be Insanitary.

President of Board of Health.
Dear Strive, the undersigned resi-
dents and property holders on Emma
street, and adjacent neighborhood, do
petition the Board of Health TO con-
demn, and cause to be removed, the
shaCks on the Eva corner of BeTetania
and Emma streets. and the two 90
wooden two 90 story buildings situat-
ed on the corner Of Emma street and
Emma Place. occupied as a Chinese
laundry and Chinese store.
The said buildings have large and
mixed class of rOOmers or indwelleTs
and are in a highly insanitary condi-
ton. and are a menace 10 the health
OF the community.
We further believe that there ha:
been no OdOrless excavator used on the
premises for nearly two % years. Oul
inspectors have reported as to theil
lnsanItary condition, and We canno
understand why the Board Of Health
mas not taken action ere this We can
not see how the said buildings can b.
placed IN sanitary condition.
we think they should be condemned
and burned; cesspool pumped out.
We all pray for immediate action
