Clara Barton, who is now in Calves
ton, says the horrors OF the situation
there could not possibly be exaggerated.
Miss Barton's word will be accepted
without question, for her experiences in
this line enable her TO correctly esti-
mate the real situation. 1t is one that
calls for the most generous relief move
ments throughout the country, for the
suffering is SO extensive that it will re,
quire millions of dollars in money and
supplies to relieve thel,'awful distress.
The relief movements will also have
to be continued for weeks, possibly
months, before the people of the devas.
tated city will be able to take care OF
themselves.

The Rev. Joseph Brown Turner,
pastor of the Dover Presbyterian
Church, announces, in an interview
in the Delawarean, that he has left
the Republican party and will vote for
Bryan this year. Imperialism and
militarism are more than he can stand.
1t is not surprising that ministers who
preach the Gospel Of Peace should find
themselves unable to endorse an ad-
ministrstion that sustains causeless
and cruel war, no matter how serious
the alternative may seem.

Senator George Frisbie Hoar of
Massachusetts. in an interview at
Washington. Tuesday. denied that he
had accused Mr.. William j. Bryan of
being n hypocrite. as Mark Hanna
said he did. But Senator Hoar said
that he believed THAT the anti
imperialism OF MIR. Bryan and many OF
his Democratic supporters is but q
mask for the free coinage of silver, for
an attack upon tho Supreme Court, for
an Income tax, for Populism and
Socialism and for free trade. y And
he added:
when, 10 opposition to the opinion
of many nf nv political associates and
of the President whom l love and
honor, / had resisted the assertion of
such authority with all my might,
therein discharging, perhaps, the most
painful duty Of my public life, Mr..
Bryan came to Washington and stabbed
the cause OF anti-imperialism in the
back in the hour of its assured victory.
Seventeen of his followers voted for the
sequence of his personal influence.
1
power of the country to pledge its
faith to purchase and pay for
sovereignty over ten million unwilling
people, and make il the constitutional
duty Of the President to reduce them
to subsection and to assert the power
and duty of Congress to dispose of
their FUTURE
There is great force in what Senator
| ,ay oh Mi. anpa M
attitude upon thu subject OF i'm
perialism, aud his attitude when the
treaty with Spain was before the
Senate for ratification. II is a fact
that without MIR. Bryan's influence in
| its favor, that treaty would not have
been ratified. Mr.. Bryan, therefore,
is largely responsible for its ratification
and for all the evils of imperialism
that have followed in its train. Either
Mr.. Bryan was right then and wrong
now, or he was wrong then and right
now. The excuse that he has given
for his support of the treaty is puerile.
But, on the other hand, Senator
Hoar, in = speech in the United States
Senate on April 18th 81 this year, said
81 believe, MIR. President, not onl,
that PERSEVERANCE in this policy will BIZ

Governor Roosevelt, in his letter

Governor Roosevelt, in his letter of
acceptance, gives attention to the
Philippine question, and insists that
the Filipinos are mere sayages, whom
he compares to the Apaches of this
country and the Boxers of China. But
Roosevelt's view of these patriotic
people is vastly different from the
views of intelligent people who have
been to the Philippines and were en-
abled tic form opinions from observa-
tions. Admiral Dewey said he consid-
cred them far more capable of self-gov-
eminent than the Cubans, "and have
seen both peoples" he added. Ad-
mIral Dewey was speaking from per.
snnal knowledge; be has been there.
Roosevelt has not been there aud really
knows nothing about the Fil,pinos.
And with such sources of intelligent
information as are obtainable from the
testimony of men like Admiral Dewey
and the late Gen. Lawton, it is incon
ceivable how an intelligent man car
talk as foolishly as Roosevelt does.

it is not many people who, after
sudden and serious injury, have the
nerve and the cool Judgment displayed
by William L. Eaton, an Erie railroad
employe, yesterday. While on his run
he fell from the top of box car to the
rails, and his right leg was cut off
below the knee. He lay quiet until
the last car of the train had passed,
then bravely dragged himself on one
side, where he fashioned tourniquet
from his handkerchief and iackknife
and twisted it about the severed limb
until the flow Of blood was checked.
He built fire to keep, himself warm
and awaited tho approach Of another
train, which he knew was due in q
short time. Engineer Lawrence was
astonished to zee torch waving a
danger signal as he drew near the spot,
and stopped his train. Eaton explained
his peril and was Immediately taken
aboard and hurried to Paterson. where
an ambulance took him to hospita
aud his leg was amputated below the
knee. Eaton Is likely to recover with
the loss of part of one leg. but hac
it not been for his nerve and presence
Of mind he would have died.

THREE GROUPS.
Condemned by the
Board Yesterday.
Filthy Conditions Rarely EquaIIed in
ChinatOwn--POnds and Cess

Shortly before noon yesterday the
board of Health, consisting of Pres
ident Wood, F. NJ Hatch, George w.
Smith and Attorney-General Cooper,
and accompanied by c. B. Ripley, a. G..
VI. Robertson, and a representative of
the Advertiser, drove to the premises
at the corner OF Nuuanu and Kukui
streets, in which a plague death had
occurred during the night.
The buildings, which form an L,were
yet incomplete, only the portion 'front.'

under roof The portion facing on Ku-
kui street comprised the unfinished
than two score japanese have been re-
tnan two score japanese have been re-
siding for some time. In spite of the
cautions which have been thrown out
by the Board of Health with reference
to the sanitary construction of build
ingS. the contractors have gone on
steadily with the insanitary work,
which, in connection with the open
air cesspools reeking with filth, surpass
most of the foul places in Chinatown.
The Board first inspected the store
room in which the Japanese died. The
room was filed with a nondescript
class Of merchandise, evidently hastily
placed in boxes and carted to the place
from Chinatown, or most likely. from
Block Is. Sandwiched in between piles
of merchandise toward the rear en-
trance was a pallet on which the pa
tient had slept and passed away. No
stronger evidence was required to con-
meet the chain of infection.
Mr.. r. ID. Silliman was appraising
the goods all morning, finishing the
work shortly after noon. They found
tremendous lot of merchandise stor-
ed away there, very little of it marked
fumigated. As a precautfOn, the ap-
praisers wore rubber gloves to prevent
infection.

Further Condemnations.

and the shacks along Aala lane ex-
tending to the auwai on the mauka
extremity were condemned and order
ed destroyed by fire. The ponds filed
with stagnant water which extended
from the rear of a building facing on
King street were also condemned as a
nuisance, a source Of filth and a cause
OF sickness, and notice will be sent to
the owners or lessees to have them
filed up Immediately, after being
drained. These ponds were condemn
ed in the cholera time for the same
cause, but nothing was ever done tow
ard filling them up.
This matter accomplished the
Boards attention was drawn to the
tumble-down buildings which extended
over a Shiny pond. The rear portions
were built upon small piles, and the
different buildings were connected by
board walks, all directly over the
water. Closets and sinks are so con-
structed that filth of every variety
drops directly into the water. which
mas no outlet to the sea. The Chinese
theatre at Aala road projects back to
the ponds, and a bakery. livery stable
ana Wash-hOuse, also built over the
slime, combined TO make conditions
worse.
Filthy conditions were observed on
every hand, and the Board condemned
the entire group of buildings bounded
by King street, Aala lane. thence nv a

Cesspools Most Foul.

In the rear of the buildings the
Board found the most foulsmelling
Open-air cesspools which have yet come
to light in the city inspection. They
were comparatively new, probably
having been dug in December. The
rear veranda projected half way owe
them, and the other half was exposed
to the open sky. Sulphuric acid had
been poured into them with a liberal
hand, yet the stencil was sufficient to
cause hasty retreat by the party.
Slime had already gathered on the sur
face, and one or two dead cats were
observed in the midst of IL.
The cesspoOls alone were enough to
cause the Board to condemn the prem
ises as insanitary and a cause of sick
ness, without the case of plague. which
had already infected the buildings.
The Board summarily passed a mo-
ton ,condamning, as insanitary. a cause
Of sickness and a source OF filth, the
premises from Nuuanu along Kukui to
the fence on the Eva side (the fence
to a lane parallel with Ku-
kUi street,, thence to Nuuanu street
thence to the place of beginning. A
second motion, declaring the premises
infected with plague. was also passed,
and the place was ordered burned as
soon as the Fire Department could
spare time to take it in hand.

we derive our information. Its vines

growing flat on the ground. The pods
are large and white. There are many
more varieties grown. The so-callcd
