Will Swell the Already Disastrous
Flood in the Susquehanna.
CLBARFIELD, Pa, March IL
Thousands of logs are jammed in the
west branch of the S~usquehanna near
Curwensville, six miles above here and
causing much uneasiness in Clearfeld.
The ice from above has lodged there,
fifteen feet high and holding back a
tremendous amount of water. Old
lumbermen say that if this mass breaks
not a single bridge will be left stand
ing. All the RATS from up the river
are held above. An effort will be made
to work a channel through with dyna-
mite. Several farms have been prac-
tically ruined by the heavy rush of
water. There is still two feet of sno
in the woods.

no BUBONIC PLAGUE


Has Been None ~ the Infectio1s
Type or the Dlsease. !.
WASHINGTON. March 1I.-In view
of the persistent publication Of the
report That bubonic plague existed in
San Francisco, the Treasury Depart
ment some weeks ago appointed a COM
mission of experts to examine into and
report upon the situation there. That
report has been received at the Treas
ury Department but the authorities are
not disposed to make it public at this
time. Almost spontaneously with the
receipt of the report, a delegation of
prominent citizens of San Francisco
arrived here and have since had a
number of conferences with treasury
officials in regard to the matter. This
commission to-day gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Some disputes having arisen be-
tween the authorities as to the health
conditions in California, and the quar-
antine at San Francisco, a commits
sion was appointed by Gov. Gage, and
Mayor Phelan to confer with the
health authorities at Washington,
Meetings have been held with the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, Lyman ]. Gage,
assistant Secretary of the Treasury, O.
i. Spaulding, and Surgeon General Wy
man, at which it was elected that no
single case of disease had ever been
found in California of the infectious
bubo-pneumonic type and that all the
cases examined (none being of white
people, were of a non-contagious
have expressed themselves as amply
satisfied that California is able to pro-
tect the other States of the Union and
herself from any species Of epidemic,
and instead of a condition existing
that calls for federal interference, the
representative of the surgeon generals
Office now in San Francisco is in hearty
accord with the city and State health
authorities.
california is doing her duty, she
has no epidemic now and never has
had-there has not been a report of a
supposed case of plague for % days
and the death rate in Chinatown Is
now the lowest it has been for ten
years.
'4Any statement that the Treasury
Department or Surgeon Generals De-
partment has taken charge of health
affairs in San Francisco is absolutely
and unqualiiedly false"
Assistant Secretary Spaulding also
gave out a statement as follows:
('FThe published reports of the exis-
tence of bubonic plague in San Fran
cisco should excite no alarm there or
in the country at large. sThe plague
is not epidemic there and I do not be-
lieve it will be. ] would feel as safe
living in San Francisco as in Wash
ington. The travelling and business
public can communicate as safely with
San Francisco to-day as a year ago.
The Treasury Department is fully ad-
vised of the situation and speaks with
confidence in denying that any occa-
sion for alarm exists on account of
health conditions in San Francisco"

continually higher and higher, and
every increase has been made in face
of the earnest protests of their ablest

powerless to prevent the robbing of
the people by the combination of pro-

protested in vain. AS wen expect the
