TO EXTERMINATE RODENTS
JAPAN LIKELY TO CALL FOR CON-
CERTED ACTION
Investigation shows That They Are
the Active Agents in Propagat-
ing Disease.

CHICAGO, April 15.-The Tribune says
A world war on rats may be proposed by
Japan. That nation has been conducting
an exhaustive investigation, and the con-
clusion has been reached that the rodents
are a menace to humankind.
Consequently, says DR.. Nagusha, who is
a visitor in Chicago, the mikado's govern
ment is to appeal to civilization to exter-
inmate the rodents. 1t is declared that
the rats spread all sorts of contagfon while
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of property is destroyed by the rodents
each year.
DR.. Nagusha, who is a bacteriologist of
prominence in Japan, has been making a
study of the bubonic plague in Horg Kong
Bombay, Japan and other of the oriental
countries. He was convinced, he said that
rats are the greatest propagators of con-
tagiouS diseases.
Japan, said DR.. Nagusha, had made an
official investigation of the harm done by
rats, and the result of this investigation
would be brought to the attention of the
civilized world.
Il am aware that I am not advancing a
new idea,' said DR.. Nagusha "for bacte-
biologists and members of the medical pro-
fession have long been aware of the evil
which rats work in the way of propagating
contagious diseases, but l did not realize
the extent of this evil until came to make

WHEN THE BOER WAR WILL. EsD
Sohsui Hay Unwilling to Commit
Himself With a Prediction,

MI Adelbert s. Hay, son of Secretary
Hay, and United States consul at Pretoria.
S. A, who is now in this city on leave of
absence, has given out an interview in re-
gard to South African affairs, in the course
of which he said:
wv hen the first rumor of war came there
were, of course, many Americans panic
stricken among the rest. They abandoned
Johannesburg and Pretoria as speedily as
possible and fiocked to Cape Town, where
they now areas eager as people can be to
get up country again. These Americans
would have suffered but little had they re-
manned where they were.
Il was constantly asking consideration for
American subjects from both governments
and usually had granted all that | could
nave expected. The greater proportion of
Americans resident in the Transvaal were
men employed and earning salaries. They
were well to do, but did not possess much
property to be destroyed. There will conse-
quently be but few American claims for
indemnity.
of course, there were Americans who
took sides and put themselves out of the
laws of peace under the laws of war. 1
should not like to give any opinion as to the
rlght or wrong of this, but l suppose that
not more Americans than any other neutral
citizens were found in the Boer and British
ranks.
AS to the proportion in which they di-
Americans
went to the Beers and the British almost
In proportion to the size of each army-the
greater number to the British, of course A
great many were soldiers of fortune Com
ing over with the mule ships, they would
leave the vessels, drift up the coast and find
themselves in the Beers lines and would
take up arms there. Others would land
similarly among the British.
'One would have to be a good prophet to
guess at the result of the war There are
too many things to take into consideration
and the news from the country is SO chang
Ing and speculative. The war will end when
1t is ended is as committal a declaration as
should care to make.
There is prosperous time coming for
South Africa, and 1t will start rapidly to
recuperate as the war is over
There will be an immense amount of busi-
ness for Americans which will require men
or special business training to handle prop
erly. Railroads will have to be rebuilt and
machinery will have to be put into the
mines. American manufacturers have hith-
erto held large share of the trade and /
suppose, will continue to do so.'

A MOMENTOUS EVENT

dispute that for a week past has involved
the employees of the W. Devices Wood plant
of the American Sheet Steel Company, at
MckeespOrt, and the company. about halt
of the men are on a strike today and the
operation OF the plant is badly crippled
The cause of the trouble was the recent
discharge of seven men, who, the men
claim, were dismissed because they were
members of the newly organized lodge of
the Amalgamated Association. The strike
was ordered at a meeting OF the local lodge
yesterday afternoon and went into effect
at / O'Clock this morning All is quiet
about the works today. None of the dis
contented worknen are lettering about the
mill and there is no prospect of trouble.
The members of the firm say that they
will continue the operation of their plants
and that if they are troubled by the strik-
erS ut MckeeSpoTt they will ship their ma
terilI elsewhere for manufacture The
mill employs about 500 men and about half
of them are now out
Regarded as Non,entous Event.
The event is looked upon as momentous
throughout the iron and steel trade of the
country from the fact that it is the first
conflict between organized labor and the
new United States steel corporation, and
because of the announced intention today
of President T. J. Shafer. the head of the
Anal mated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, to tie up every plant of
the new combine, steel. tin, tube, structural
iron. wire and all. il necessary to win the
fight. As 10 the chance that the men in all
the mills Of the United States steel corpora
tion will be called on to come out. no one
connected with the management of any of
the organized plants in the new corpora
tion viii consent to be quoted. The only
underlying companies in the new corpora
tion whose mills are entirely Independent
Of the Amalgamated Association are the
Carnegie interests and the National Tube
company. The mills of the American Steel
Hoop Company the American Tin Plate
