In Philippines.

Washington, D. C.-(Special. .)-Sur-
geon General Sternberg has received .
report from Major Guy L. Edie, pres.
ident of the board of health in Manila.
This board has the supervision of ev.
erything relating 30 the health of the

tenn of inspection and vaccination the
smallpox has been kept from spread

considering a plan to segregate all the
lepers on one island. where hospitals
and other suitable buildings can be
erected for their care.
The report states that leprosy was
introduced in the Philippines in 1888.
when the emperor of Japan sent 15s
lepers to the island Since then the
number has Increased until the esu-
mate liz that there are 10000 lepers in
the archipelago. largely in the Visay-
ans In an inspection of Manila 100
Iepers were found concealed in various
houses. while many others escaped to
the country.
Discussing the bubonie plague cases.

procession was led by a colored woman,
with an American flag and carrying
banners on which were inserted the
words, Give US work.
The spokesman called upon Civil Gov
ernor Hunt and explained that the OBJ
ject of the visit was to ask the gov
ernment to open road between Ca
gues and San Lorenzo, thus enabling
the laboring classes of the district to
present there was no work OF any kind
In that district, and that the people
were without bread and We're suffering.
Mr.. Hunt replied sympathetically and
promised that the government would
do all in its power to relieve the situ-
alton.
Official investigation shows that the
district in question is very badly Oft
and no work of any sort has been in
operation there for some time.
American money is now the official
currency Of this island. On August l
the Spanish silver ceased to be legal
tender, although the government an
continue for an definite period to ex-
change it at its full former value.
On August ] merchants announced
that they would not accept for payment
for goods anything except American
money. What had formerly cost the
poor man centavos now costs ) cents
gold. House rents are raised in the
same proportion.
There is no doubt that this stimuli
taneous raise in prices was due TO q
combination to cause trouble. Ii was
only extreme vigilance on the part OF
the police, both municipal and insular.
that prevented serious riots. AS it was
outbreaks occurred throughout the ISL
and. F'ormida BILE strikes are threatened.
While the whole trouble is distinctly
traceable to the anti-American feeling
which increases rather than subsidies,
the direct cause was the insufficient
notice given the people, especially in
the interior, concerning the law gov
erning the exchange of money and the
insufficient notice that the time for
closing the exchange had been indeh-
nitely extended.

They Occurred.
An hundred years ago the island OF
St. Domingo was the fairest and rich

the Hartford Courant. For fifty years
it had been growing in production and
wealth more rapidly than any other
European colony in America. 1t was
the emporium of the western world.

exuberant fertility of its soil and well

The French portion-One third only

value of its products was estimated at
LIS, 900, 900 francs-an increase Of
100. 600, 900 francs in quarter of a
:entury-a sum which represented the
Measure of toll exacted by human

The revolution in France created

Grover. My writing had been rubbed
out by moist hand. for could see the
duger marks clearly, and in place OF it
was written in blue chalk simply;
C.B SO, 263s7.
81 sat there drinking brandy and
n.uttering to myself before that black
board until those blue letters danced
up and down, like msiic lantern pictures
when you iiggle the slides. l drank
until the sweat poured off me like rain
and my teeth chartered, and l turned
sick at the stomach. At last an idea
flashed upon me. ! suatched the way
bill off the hook. The car of wool that
had left Grover for Boston the night
before was numbered 26387.
~ must have got through the rect of
the night somehow, for when the sun
came up red and angry over the white
plains. the section boss found me sitting
by the stove. the lamp burning full
blaze. the brandy bottle empty beside
me. and with but one idea in my head.
that box Car 263S7 must be stopped and
opened as soon as possible, and that
somehow it would explain.
II figured that we could easily catch
it in Omaha, and wired the freight
agent there TO go through it carefully
and report anything unusual. That
night got wire from the agent stat
ing that the body Of man had been
found under woolsack at one end OF
the car with fan aud an invitation to
the Inaugural ball at Cheyenne in the
pocket of his dress coat. / wired him
not to disturb the body until l arrived,
and started for Omaha. Before l left
Grover the Cheyenne office wired me
that Freymark had left the town. going
west over the Union Pacific The COM
pany detectives never found him.
The matter was clear enough then.
Being a railroad man, he had hidden
.he body and sealed up the car and
billed it out, leaving note for the con-
ductor. Since he was OF race without
conscience or sensibilities, and since his
past was more infamous than his birth,
he had boarded the extra and had gone
to the ball and danced with Miss Mas
terson with blood undried upon his
hands.
when | saw Larry O'Toole again. he
was lying stiff and stark in the. under
takers rooms in Omaha. He was clad
iu his dress clothes, with black stock
ings upon his feet, as l had seen him
forty-eight hours before. Helen Mas
terson's fan WIS in his pocket His
mouth was vide open and stuffed full of
white cotton.
He had been shot in the mouth, the
bullet lodging between the third and
fourth vertebrate. The hemorrhage had
been very slight and had been checked
By the cotton. The quarrel had taken
place about five in the afternoon. After
supper Larry had dressed, all but his
shoes, and had lain down to snatch a
wink Of sleep, trusting to the whistle of
the extra to waken him. Freymark
had gone back and shot him while he
was asleep, afterward placing his body
in the wool car, which, but for my tele-
gram, would not have been opened for
weeks.
That's the whole story. There lie
nothing more to tell except one detail
that did not mention to the superin-
tendent. When said goodbye to the
boy before the undertaken took charge

The advance guard of the army of
foreigners invading Paris for the ex-
position has made its entry, and a very
large proportion Of them are Ameri.
cans. Every moment Of the day one
now sees cabs flying about the boule.
wards loaded with Saratoga trunks,
while the familiar American accent is
heard in restaurants and other places
Of popular resort. The hotels are al.
ready filling up. and the prices of every
thing are rising. In fact these first
arrivals form a sort of q forlorn hope
on whom the hotel and shopkeepers are
experimenting with increased charges.
Not only the visitors, but permanent
residents are beginning to feel the bur.
den of the advanced rates, which most
Of the hotels have so raised. that the
regular guests are obliged either to
leave or accept other accommodations.
Those who are unfortunate enough ia
have only monthly leases on their
apartments have been notified that
their rents will be doubled for six
months after the opening of the exposi
ton. The cab drivers have an eye on
greater wealth. and are trying to ar
range with the government for in
creased fares.
At the exposition itself everything Ii
hustle and confusion. Heavy teams
hne the streets waiting to deposit theil
loads Of exhibits. The American ex
hibitors are finding themselves serious
ly handicapped in preparing for the in
stallation, owing to the unexpected con
gestion on the railways between Havrt
and Paris, and also on the tracks withir
the exposition grounds. There is 9
continual struggle between representa-
tives Of every nation to get cars In thu
grounds. but the French people hold tn,
key to the situation, and take good car,
that their own cars are taken to theil
exhibit space and unloaded before thos'
of the United States and other nations
Russia and Belgium are the only coun
tries favored.
