METAL MARKET.

New York, May 3.-In sympathy with
unsatisfactory cables the local market
for metals as a whole was generally
easier. Tin eased off about % points,
with a slow trade and the drop Of Is
shillings in that metal in London. The
close was easy, with prices on the basis
of 70 bid and $50 asked; pig iron war
rants were weak and nominal. Northern
No. 1 foundry was quoted at $2lq2S. Lake
copper ruled dull and unchanged. Lead
was also dull and unchanged on the
basis of s4.671k bid and 81. T242 asked.
Spelter, however, was a shade f1rmer on
a good export demand, closing firm in
tone and PIC higher, at s4.5217 bid and
4.55 asked. The brokers' price for lead
was $4.45 and for copper s17Q1Z25.

The Police Turn Them Back. Chinese Consul
Generals House S'oned by a Small
Mob. No LIVING Case of the
Plague Now.
(By the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Cal, May 19.-The
Board Of Health has adopted a resolution
declaring that bubonic plague exists in
San Francisco. The health authorities
say that while there are no living cases
here, there have been six deaths during
the past three months, and they have
decided to take precautions against the
development and spread of the disease.
A force of physicians today went
through Chinatown to treat Chinese with
Hafikine rrophylactic as a preventative
against the plague.
The members of the Board of Health
say that there is absolutely no danger of
the development or the spread of the dis
ease at San Francisco, but at the same
time they do not propose to take any
chances and it is their duty to take pre-
cautions.
When it became known in Chinatown
that the Board of Health had determined
to inCculate the residents of the Chinese
section, groups CT Chinese gathered on
every corner and denounced the action Of
the board as outrageous. Some Of the
more wealthy of the indignant Chinese
| hurried their families into hacks and
other vehicles in the attempt to send
them out of the district. Some sue
ceeded IN getting as far as the city linn
its. where they were stopped by the
rolice. Others attempted to leave the city
on trains. Several merchants endeavored
to obtain passage on the steamer Amer

as possible, but several demonstrations
among the Chinese have caused him to
keep quiet in the matter. He has urged
his people repeatedly to submit to the
demands CT the board. Yesterday a small
mob surrounded the consulate and stoned
the buildings. This action resulted in

the leader of the market without any
news to account for its strength, beyond
the suggestive parallel that might be
drawn between It's case and that OF the
New York Gas companies whose costly
conflicts seems to be ended. With the
