JAPAN'S WAR ON RATS.
Energetic Measures Taken to Suppress the
Plague.

Yokohama, June l, via Victoria,
B. @. June l8.-Much CONSERVATION
has been awakened by the escape OF a
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 a
result the war against them has
assumed huge proportions. The
Toxic municipality has voted 30, 600
yen, rat traps by the thousand are
distributed among the people, and
a bounty of sen each is offered for
their capture. With all this evi-
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 practi-
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 dignified 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 squabbles which have
come to the surface, making it i'm
possible for any statesman without
complete loss Of self-respect, to un-
dertake the task of forming a minis
try.

liams COLLEGE

New York, June 17.-President Tru-
man Henry Stafford, the mathematic.
fan and astronomer, whose death has
just been announced, will be buried
in the college burying ground at VIII
Jamestown, Mass.
He was born at Royalton, Vt, 65
years ago. At an early age he attract
ed attention by his powers of calcula.
tion. He could mentally extract the
square and cube root of numbers Of
nine and ten places of figures, and
could multiply four figures as rapidly
as II could be done upon paper In
1S45, when he was years old. and
nine years before he was graduated
from Harvard college, he prepared an
almanac, and at the age of IA he cal
culated the elliptic elements of the
first comet OF 1S49. BY a method OF
his own he abridged by one-fourth the
labor of calculating the rising and set
ting OF the moon. After long and diff
ficult problems had ben read to him
once, he could give their result with
out effort.

SURPRISED BY soeRs.
Victoria Mounted Rifles Overcome By a So.
psrlor Force.

London, June lS.-Iord Kitchener
has cabled from Pretoria under today's
late as follows:
Near Welmansrust, 20 miles north
Of Middleburg $50 Victoria mounted
rifles from General Beaston S COM
mand were surprised in camp at
Steenkoolspruit by superior force of
Beers at 1880 p. m. June IL. The
enemy crept up to within short range
and poured a deadly fire into the
camp, killing two officers and l6 men
and wounding four officers and 3S
men, Of whom 2S we're only slightly
wounded. Only two officers and so
men escaped, TO General Beaston's 5
camp. The remainder we're taken
prisoners and released. Two POM
pos we're captured by the enemy.
Full details have not yet been re-
ceived.
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 a serious
matter, which will encourage the
Beers to continue the struggle.
More or less fanciful accounts are
published on the continent OF alleged
peace negotiations, but there is
nothing in them and nothing has
come of the interview between Mr..
Botha and Mr.. Kruger, beyond re-
vealing the fact that Mr. Kruger will
listen to no proposals unless they are
accompanied with a guarantee of in
dependence OF the republics.
The Daily Mails Cape Town cor
respondent says that Cecil Rhodes,
speaking at Buluwayo Saturday,
predicted that federation of South
African states would come in three or
four years, but he contended that
to grant self-government to the repub-
lies before federation would render
federation impossible.

CONCESSION is ASKED.
MOmons Want to Settle on Government
Lands Vacated by Indians.

Mexico City, June ia Mormon
agent, James Cannon, is here for the
purpose Of securing from the govern
ment a concession for settling 1000
Mormons in Sonora. on the lands
from which the Yaqui Indians have
been driven. Mr.. Cannon says:
"We believe that if suitable tracts
of lands are placed at our disposal in
the Yaqui country, we will do much
in this country in the interest of
peace, for the Mormon church has
faced the Indian problem almost
since its organization. We require
no rifles in our management of the
red brother, and are always instilling
into his mind that we are his friends
and not his foes. If the concession
is obtained, a commissioner will be
sent at once into the Yaqui territory
by the Mormon church for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the attitude of
the Indians, and if peaceful a con-
tract will be made and lands pur-
chased from the Yaquis.
