Since the LIST of January of the present
year the plague has been reported from
the following widely separated localities:
Arabia, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China
Formosa. Hawaiian Islands. India, Japan
Madagascar. New South Wales, Paraguay.
Philippine Islands. Portugal. South Africa
and Spain. Since May 25 new cases Of the
plague have been reported in Rio de ia
metro. At Manila the first death of a white
man from the disease occurred on May 21
The man was government teamster. That
the disease has recently occurred in San
Francisco seems certain, but reports are so
conflicting that we can form no exact idea
of its prevalence. Chinatown Is undoubted-
ly an infected place. and most stringent
means should be taken to thoroughly clean,
disinfect and isolate it. The whole coun-
try is interested in the proper performance
of this work, the necessity for which is
emphasized by what is now occurring at
Sydney. N. s. w. This latter city may
fairly claim to be in every respect a healthy
place and fair type OF a modern civilized
community, on plane in that respect with
San Francisco or any American town of
similar size. Yet the plague has found a
very firm foothold In Sydney. There have
been over go cases Of the disease there, ST
of which have resulted fatally. New cases
are constantly occurring. and the disease is
far from being under control.
In the Hawaiian Islands, the epidemic at
Honolulu having been stamped out, no new
case has been reported since March %
From December II to March 81 there were
seventy cases of the plague in this locality
of which sixty died. At the end Of March
there was but one case in the hospital and
that was in a convalescent state 1t Is es-
timated that the cost Of stamping out this
outbreak will be at least s.. 100000 This
is another Illustration of how much cheap
er it Is to prevent than to cure In Manila
tine disease has prevailed for about four
months: during the first two months 2oo
cases occurred. with so Der cent mortality.

JAPANESE LABOR.

| Pacific Slope States.

A Troublesome Question Interesting
Pacific Slope States.
From the Spokane. Wash. Chronicle.
The Jap. labor question in the Pacific
coast states promises to grow into Sc
rious a problem Chinese immigration
was a score of years ago. Unless labor con-
tractors to import these cheap work
men there will be occasion for another ex
clusion act The immense influx Of Japan
csc Iaborers into the states of Washington,
Idaho and Montana within recent years has
produced an alarming condition. If Con-
gress is not able to stop the infringement
of the contract labor laws 1t will certainly
have to face a demand for a Jap. exclusion
act within the next few years.
The state labor bureau is cooperating
with the federal authorities In an effort to
reach the facts about employment Of Jap
anese in place of white workmen through
out the western states. Federal effort is
being directed toward the Stricter enforce
ment Of immigration laws, especially in re-
gard to the importation of Jap. labor under
contract. The schemes of the willy con-
tractors to evade the laws are so clever,
however. that it is difficult, If not impossi-
BILE. to ferret out the offenders and punish
them. A short time ago it was announced
that rolls of money were being secretly fur
nfshed the incoming immigrants SO that
they could pass the inspector not being
paupers. The secretiveness of the orientals,
coupled WIN tnelf ignorance OF EnSilSn,
makes 1t extremely difficult to upset such
schemes.
Spokane labor unions are to Join in this
effort to collect data in reference to the
introduction of the little dark men into
this community. and the effect 1t has had
upon the labor situation. The greatest
danger from the rapid increase IN Japanese
labor has not yet been felt, and can only be
prophesied. So long the railroads, which
employ by far the largest number Of these
orientals, keep up their improvement work
and stimulate the demand for more labor
ers the effect on the larger working popu-
lation is not apparent. The moment that
this demand ceases with the completion CT
railway extensions then will come a crowd
ing of the labor market where unSk;lled
labor only is required. The poor, llterate
Japanese will find it impossible to rise to
higher employments, and hence force the
wages fer unskilled work down to their
living wage.
Three or four large contractors who fur
nish japanese labor to the railroads have
been in Spokane the past week. Their pres
ence here, the recent riot at Hiilyard and
the increasing trouble over oriental laun-
dries a warning of what may be eX-
pected unless some method of dealing with
this condition is devised very SOON.

There are over 600 acres OF Philadelphia
land under cultivation south of Porter
street, In the district known as the Neck.
and there is now living in Germantown a
man who has amassed a fortune of $500 oDO
in raising early vegetables In that locality
His two sons are still engaged in truck
farming. although they have not the same
chances as their father had during the civil
war, when spinach sold for IS a barrel and
Onions brought SD a barrel. The father
with his half million, has removed to a
handsome country seat near Germantown,
where he lives in opulence. He was an
orphan, and at the age of twenty one hay
ing been bound TO a trucker. he wen, with
another man to work farm on shares. In
two years he was able to take a farm a. his
own, and success crowned his efforts. In
those days the farmer took his own produce
to market and sold il direct to the consu-
mer without the aid Of the commission nicr-
chant. Then, too, there was no CONNIE
Etion from the south in the matter of
early vegetables. The labor of boys cou!d
be had for s. or 81 a week. but all this is
now changed. On Porter street, between
18th and 10th, there are two large public
school houses and the boys who used to
work on the farms now attend school Tho
farmers are consequently obliged to employ
men at this season OF the year and pay
them 50 week.

WASHING THE FACE.

If the face is oily and filed with fine
blackheads, the latter can be removed by
rubbing them with a soft cloth dipped In
alcohol or IN equal parts OF cologne and

skin as a gentle sttmulant. The contact
