this latest newspaper octbreak Is the publi-
cation of the report Of the special Health
Commissioners appointed BY the Governor
to confer with the national health authorities
on the alleged existence of the plague. This
Commission reports that there have been no
cases of the plague, what was diagnosed a.
such being common disease frequently
found in all Chinese communities. Most
significant, and somewhat sensational, il
the statement that from tie day that those
who sent broadcast over the land stories
that Chinatown, San Francisco, was plague
infected, were put under close surveillance
BY physicians especially employed for that
purpose, no more cases were found. On
this point the Commission says: "Many
cases Were reported which were pronounced
suspicious, by the physicians employed by
the Marine Hospital Service, bat although
between April 8 and August 27 1O3 autop-
sizes were performed, not one case was found
which could be pronounced bubonic plague.
The report of the State Board of Health.
which gives, the clinical history of these
cases and the circumstances attending the
autopsies, indicates that there was an eager
desire on the part Of these who contended
that bubonic plague existed in the city to
establish that fact. In one instance an at.
tempt was made to quicklime body, in
order to destroy the evidence which would
conclusively prove that the deceased had
died of pulmonary tuberculosis, which fact
had been ascertained at the autopsy.

the educational problem, they say, is fol
Congress to appropriate . 100000 q year

These delegates also ask for high. class
naval station at San Juan. Agriculturally,
they say that the island has been much neg.
lected, and they want a well equipped eI
pertinent station established, and $4,000 O
year for term of years appropriated for iti
maintenance from the national Treasury on
account of the benefits to general American
agriculture to be derived from its investi

mend these things to Congress.
The present tariff laws suit them, except
as to coffee. The sugar crop, under free
trade with the United States, has doubled
since 1899 and the planters are prosperous
Tobacco enjoys like advantage. But coffee

Washington, November IS-Clintor
Rogers Woodruff Of Philadelphia was among
the Presidents visitors this morning. Mr.
Woodruff is Chairman of the Dependencies
Committee of the National Civil Servic.
Reform League. To him the Presjdent
made the emphatic statement, with th,
expressed hope that it might be spread
everywhere, that in three branches of the
public service he should exclude pelitica
influence of every Sort, direct or indirect
These are the army, the navy, and the
eolonies.
In domestic Office having any political
character, fitness being first reasonably
assured, and other things being equal, pol
itical considerations would be sIlowed a
legitimate weight, but in thu three branches
mentioned, he declared, there should not be
one iota of concession to politics while he
remained President, for the intrusion Of
such an element would be nothing short Of
taint.

the suffrage Committee will make the

great feature Of tho suffrage clause. 1t

provisions affecting the right to vote
which will greatly affect the present
electorate. There will very probably
be reported a provision chat candidate

.AGreed Upon ii POLL Tar

Richmond, Va, July 11.-The Com
mittec On Franchise today decided
with practical unanimity that poll tax
o. 81 shall be levied and made a
prerequisite to the right of sulfrag &C..
The question now bsing discussed is
whether 81 OF the tax shall he retained
by the counties in which it is paid and
81 paid into the general State fund for
the benefit Of schools.
Some members advocate poying the
entire amount OF poll tax into the gen.
eral State fund, TO be divided equally
betwe n the schools AMI Confederate
soldiers. Others think 81 of it should
remain in the county treasury for coun-
ty purposes. Judge Harrison, Of Fred
erick, strongly advocates the latter
proposition, coatending that the white
countiot Of tie valley and other sections
should no. be taxed any more than al
present to educate the negroes of the
Southside and Tidewaler, as would be
the case under a general distribution of
the whole fund according to popula-
ton.
Mr. Flood, on the contrary, contends
for a general distribution and oppose 5
any part of the poll tax being retained
for county purposes. lie says the large
white counties ought TO be willing to
make some sacrifices for the white
children in the black counties. Some OF
the members want part of the poll
tax to 80 t. the improvement of public
roads. Tbs is the view of Mr., Gillespie,
Republic IN member from Tazewel
However, nothing has been so far set .
lied except that u poll tavpre-requislte
will be provided, and that the amount
OF the tax will be 50. On these points
the committee is wel.niga unan-
imous.
