DOES IT FOR BUSINESS

Washington. March 13-"Merely
passing showers, was Assistant Sec
rotary Spaulding's comment on the
stories Of the epidemic of bubonic
plague in San Francisco. "There is
no epidemic Of plague in San Fran
cisco; there is no danger Of an cpl
demic of it in the United States and
after the scare has blown over,
nothing more will be heard of it,"
lis the department. going to estab-
fish quarantine around Chinatown 90
he was asked.
"That is entirely in the hnnds of
the local authorities. If they find
that conditions warrant they can es-
tablish quarantine. If they ask assist
ance of the marine hospital it will be
given to them. So far as danger from
the plague is concerned it is only nee
essary to state ttat SO far as I am con-
cerned, l would just as lief live in San
Francisco now as in any other part of
the country"
Relative to the statements that
James ]. Hill of the Great Northern
railroad was largely responsible for
the agitation, General Spaulding said:
II haven't had a word from him on
the subject and do not believe there is
any truth in the statement that he had
any connection with the present oat-
cry. I don't believe he knows any
thing about it. He is probably not
bothering his head about it at ALL"
"A1e there any cases of plague in
San Francisco"
you will have to ask the doctors
about that. All l can say is that there
is no danger from it anywhere"
1t is understood that there are sew
eral we'll developed cases of plague in
Chinatown, but no danger is felt that
there will be an outbreak among the
white people. At the war depart
ment it is ever denied that there is
plague among the Chinese.
General Corbin, adjutant general of
the army, said today that he had re-
ceived no word of any sort confirm
atory of the plague reports. The war
department has not thought of con-
sidering a change in its plans for the
homecoming Of troops now in the
philippines. They are to be landed
at the Preside at San Francisco ac-
cording to original plans.
The plague stories, it may be OBJ
served in passing, were charged up to
j. J. Hill by certain San Francisco
interests, which claimed that Hill
wanted troops unloaded at either Sc
attic or Tacoma, SO as to provide bu 81
ness for his two lines of railway west
from Minneapolis and st. Paul, the
Northern Pacific n Great Northern,
