JAPAN's WAR ON RATS.
En.rsstie Measures Taksa to Suppress .As
Plaque.

Yokohama, June |, via Victoria,
B. c. June 18.-Much CONSERVATION
has been awakened by the escape Of
rat at Toxic. The medical authOri-
ties of the Imperial university were
engaged in experimenting on some
rodents in the introduction of PLACE
bacilli into their veins, when one OF
the animals eluded their vigilance,
and as a consequence several have
recently been discovered in the hos
pital infected with the disease. As i
result the war against them has
assumed huge proportions. The
Toxic municipality has voted 80, 600
yen, rat traps by the thousand are
distributed among the people, and
bounty of sen each is offered for
their capture. With all this evil
dence of CONSERVATION there is no
need OF fear that the .he disease can
gain foothold in the country in
which such measures for prevention
have been taken. While sporadic
cases appear here and there, they
are instantly isolated, and the spread
of the contagion is rendered praeti-
cally impossible. The authorities
do not hesitate to adopt the most
drastic measures in each instance,
and as result the empire is today in
a better sanitary condition than any
other nation in the world.
The cabinet muddle is not only
still unsettled, but it becomes every
day more complicated and hopeless OF
solution. The source of trouble,
while dignifed as strife between
the principle of party ministry
and that of an independent cabinet,
responsible only to the sovereign, is
almost lost sight of in the pettiness
of the political squsbbies which have
come to the surface, making it inn
possible for any statesman without
complete loss Of self-respect, to un-
dertake the task of forming minis

could multiply four figures as rapidly
as II could be done upon paper. In

nine years before he was graduated
from Harvard college, he prepared an

rifles from General Beaston s com
Imand were surprised in camp at
Steenkoolspruit by superior force Of

and poured a deadly FIRE into the
camp, killing two officers and l6 men
and wounding four officers and 30
men, Of whom % were only slightly
wounded. Only two officers and 80
men escaped to General Beaston's
camp. The remainder were taken
lprisoners and released. Two POM
pos were captured BY the enemy.
Full details have not yet been re-
eeived.
The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports is the first accident
Of the kind that has happened to the
Australian contingent, and it is sup
posed to be due to neglect OF proper
picketing. Although it is Offset by
the defeat inflicted upon Dewet, the
loss Of the guns is regarded as serious
matter, which will encourage the
Beers to continue the struggle.
