however, foreign enterprise has been the
means 0fsinaugurating electric traction
in the streets OF Madrid. Barcelona. Va

London Exchanges Depre ssed by
Reports of Russian Troops
in Afghanistan.

London, Jan. Con the Stock ex-
change today prices were weak at the
closing, partly due to stories of Russia
masslng troops on the frontier of Afghan
istan. a semi-oficial explanation Of these
moves comes today from st. Petersburg
to the effect that they were merely to
test the capacity of the Central Asian
railroads to transport troops. The ex-
pertinent, it is added, is regarded as high
ly successful, as it proves that in case Of
necessity troops from the Caucasus can
reach Kushka in eight days.
The above explanation is hardly re-
garded as entirely satisfactory, but off
cial circles discredit the idea that Rus

threaten Afghanistan or India,

Plague Extinct in Kobe.

Under date of Feb. LIST the governor #
Hiogo Ken issued the following instructions
1.-THE plague, which at one time gave
signs of spreading in Kobe, has not extended
over very wide area, thanks to the strict
measures taken by the Government and. the
minute attention Of the, public, Z No new
case has been reported since the Rhd llt.
and plague germs are no longer discovered
in dead rats. The Government therefore
deems that the plague is extinct in Kobe.
The public is accordingly instructed to-
engage in their various occupations without
anxiety regarding the disease. AS the
plague, however, is still more or less prevail
ent in British India, Hongkong and China
ports and Formosa and as it may reappear
in this country If due care is not observed,
and if special precautions are not adopted at
times of change of climate, the public Office
for matters connected with the plague will
continue to maintain an attitude of caution
and the general public are instructed to
enforce general cleansing measures and to
continue to capture rats, lest the port should
be visited with a second invasion of the
disease

There is great demand for pictures of

Ten ladies and four gentlemen went into
ten-days' quarantine last Wednesday noon
at the residence of H. S. Townsend, Inspector
general of schools. Many of them are
teachers who have schools on the other
islands, and will avail themselves of the first
opportunity, after quarantine detention, to
sail for their respective places of duty. The
rest of the party contemplate journeys in
different directions. 1t is merry assemblage
altogether, and they will make the ten days
fly quickly.
1t wasn't as funny as it seemed when
the Japanese offered to kill the rats and

the first visitor to ship at Liverpool is

ship of the rodents.
The plague of hoodlumism is another
trouble that the city has to face in these
troublous times. The police make frequent
arrests, but they fail to suppress the evil.
There is large number of homeless boys
wandering the streets, the wharves and the
suburbs who have nothing else to do but in.

worry the Japanese and Chinese storekeepers

commit crimes. Their case is more deser-

than the police.
