OUT FOR DETERMINATION
Precautionary Measures Against the
BubOniC Plague Being Seri-
ously Considered.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December "a.
"A wholesale determination of rats is
contemplated by German sanitary Off
Gals as a precaution against the plague
Consul General Wyman is informed
that the health officers at Bremen have
made the following recommendation in
this direction.
Recent investigations prove that
rats and other yermin are the principal
transmiJters of the plague. Owing to
the impossibiHty OF preventing rats
from coming on board vessels at for
eign ports and subsequently escaping TO
the land, the only defense against the
danger which threatens Us is to ex-
terminate these animals as far as pos
sible. Vessels engaged in traffic be-
tween the WRser and ports where the
existence of plague is suspected should
be supplied with cats. Poison should
also be used and such ships should be
well smoked after the removal Of the
cargo. On shore the rats must be
fought with cats and rat-catching dogs
Rewards must also be offered for the
delivery of dead rats. In order t. en-
courage port watchmen and other ha.
bOrCmpinyea to keep ra--catchiBgd1Bs
premium of $3.50 per annum should !e
allowed to the owner of each such dog
the total number at Bremen and Brem-
erhaven not to exceed twenty-five
With this allowance port employees will
be willing to keep dogs and pay the dog
tax
In addition to the S1S7 needed for
this purpose, $40 should be appropriat-
ed for yaping a premium of 14c for each
dead rat delivered. The dead bodies
can be disposed of in the ovens of the
gas works and in the central heaters of
the ports. The possibility that the
premiums may encourage the bringing
in Of dead rats from other places can
not be avoided. Another means for get
ting rid of rats is TO sulphurize the
sewers in Bremen and to flood with
river water those at Bremerhaven.
Both of these plans are being consider
ed. Owners of warehouses and barns
near the ports are urged I'm their own
interest to do their utmost To destroy
the rats nesting therein.
Furthermore, they are required. as
are all port employees, to send to the
meteorological institute all rats found
dead without visible wounds, in order
that they may be examined for traces
of plague. Consideration IS now being
given to the question as to whether
and when this requirement should be
extended to the public generally, as has
already been done at Hamburg. The
question as to whether a general de-
struction Of rats by means of poison
should be resorted to is also being con-
stdered. For various reasons a deCis-
ion has yet been reached on either of
these points,

CELIBACY ABOLISHED.
Pope's Encycical Applying to Latin
American Countries.

BERLIN. Jan. 5.-Inthresting news
has been received here via Rio Janeiro
and Carlsruhe in a clerical newspaper.
containing the text of the papal elcy-
.clical abOlishing celibacy as a require
ment for clergy in Latin America. The
South American Bishops council at
Rome last spring petitoned this indul-
gence. The encyclical was published
on July 10 in South American papers,
although carefully suppressed through
out Europe
The encyclical states that inasmuch
as celibacy is a church ordinance and
not a divine command, established
when candidates for the priesthood
were numerous, and inasmuch as the
prihstly calling has fallen into disre-
pute in Latin America and many par
ishes are without pastors, and mas
much as celibacy is the main reason
why the youth are disinclined 10 be-
come priests in these countries, IL
seems advisable for those without suf-
icient moral strength to choose a
vOrthier condition by marrying.

The announcement Of the death OF
Mrs. George +. Boardman yesterday
afternoon caused feeling Of gloom Ia
spread over the city. inasmuch as pre-
vious reports had chronicled an i'm
provement in her condition. The
Board had been in constant receipt OF
news from her bedside, all Of which
had indicated that she was better. Her
fever had diminished until her tenn
parature registered 100 2-J, although
she remained in a semi-unconscious
condition. The Board OF Health was
in session at 4:10 p. N. and President
Wood had just announced the hopeful
signs OF the day relative to the plague
situation in general when a note was
placed in his hands. 4 look OF sur
prise on his face and a tightening Of
the lips caused the remainder Of the
Board 20 fear the worst in Mrs. Board
mans case. President Wood then an
nOunced with regret the news OF the
ladys death, which had been sent in
by Dr. Augur. her physician.
Both Mrs. B1ardmans death and the
measures which will have 20 be adopt
ed relative 90 her late dwelIing-pIace
were discussed az considerable length.
President Wood said. 1T IS necessary

no doubt that 10 was a case OF plague,
and the body viii have 20 be cremated.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Jan. 6.-In
the two new Pacific Mail steamships,
for which the keels have just been laid
at the shipyard, the Newport News
ShiDbuilding and Drydock Company is
building the largest steamships ever
contracted for in the United States.
OntlI the company secured these con-
tracts from the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, the American Line steam
ships ST. Louis and St. Paul, which
were built at Cramps Shipyard, Phila-
delphia, were the largest vessels ever
undertaken by an American shipbuild-
lLg plant. They are now the largest
vessels flying the flag Of the United
States.
When the Pacific Mail liners are com
pleted and turned over to their owners
for service between San Francisco and
Hong Kong, this distinction will be
transferred, and It may some years be-
fore larger vessels are constructed on
American soil The first of the new
vessels VIII be completed by Daeenbe-.

service in March. 1901. The cost Of
each of these vessels viii be about So
