A WORLD WIDE.
RAT CRUSADE
RODENTS CARRY ALL KINDS OF
PLAQUES.
THE WORLDS EVIL GENIUS
JAPAN PROPOSES TO HUNT DOWN
AND EXTERMINATE THE
ENTIRE BREED.

Chicago. April 15.--The Tribune says:
A world war on rats may be proposed
by Japan. That nation has been con-
,iucting an exhaustive investigation, and
the conclusion has been reached that
the rodents are menace to human klnd.
Consequently says DR.. Nagusha, who
is visitor to Chicaso. The mikado's gov
ernmenl is to appeal to civilization to
exterminate the rodents. 1t is declared
that the rats spread all sorts of conta-
eiun. while hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property are destroyed by
the rodents each year.
The plague says DR.. Nagusha, would
lose half its terrors should the rats of
the world cease to exist. Other diseases
would claim fewer victims and the earth
would be safer place for humankind.
DR.. Nagusha. who is a bacteriologist
of prominence in Japan, is at the Audi
torum annex. He has been making
study of the plague in Hong Kong, in
Bombay. in Japan and in other Oriental
countries. He was convinced he said.
that rats are the greatest prupagators
of contaoious disease.
Japan, said the doctor mad made an
official investigation of the harm done
by rats and the result of this invesliga-
Of the civilized world.
His country is now taking steps look
ing to the destruction of the rodents.
1t is proposed to induce other nations
to do likewise.
Rats 4 cltred the visitor, served no
useful purpose. and besides spreading
germs, gnaW their way into hundreds of
thousands OF dollars worth of property
each year.
Il am aware that | am not advancing
Il new idea said DR.. Nagusha ''for hac-
terinlogists and members of the medical
profession have long been aware of the

paeating contagious diseases. but / did

CANAL MUST Be-
NEUTRAL GROUND
WE CANNOT GET CONCESSIONS
from NICARAGUA OR COSTA
RIGA Otherwise.

New York. April IA Herald speca!
from Washington says: \ special pro-
vision for the neutrality for the proposed
isthmian canal will he made in the new
treaty to be signed by Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncrfote. British ambassador.
This decision has been arrived at by
the president and Secretary Hay after
the most extensive cons, ID ration of the
arguments pro and con, which has con
WINGED them that the highest interests
of the country demand the Application or
the principle Of neutrality.
Ftum the outset OF negotia tions Great
Rritain has insisted uuon the principle
of neutrality.
Treaties between Nicaragua and other
countries and Costa Rica and foreign
stats contain specific provisions regard
ins the neutrality of the canal. or. ac-
cordin2 To foreign states. the most raw
ored privileges. The treaty between tne
United States and Nicaragua contains "A
prov siun that this government "asree $
to tXl-nd ther protection to all such
routes Of communicat ON as aforesaid anl
to guarantee the neutrality of the same. -"
The Clayton Bulwef treaty also pro-
viapd for the recognition of the gen
eral principle of neutrality'
Even if the Clayton isuiWer treaty Wer.
ahYugated it is held. the remaining trea-
ties in force would REQUIRE the applica-
tiun of the principle of neutrality to the
canal.
Another and most important reason for
inclusion of a provision declaring the
canal neutral is the attitude of Mic
aragua and Costa Rica. IT Is understood
that these two governments have indi-
unWiiingness to cede the right of way
across their territory unless the princi-
pla OF neutrality be absolutely conced-
ed and in this determination they have
the support of other Central and South
American states.

START STRIKE AT PITTSBURG
FOR REINSTATEMENT OF MEN
DISCHARGED BECAUSE THEY
JOINED THE UNION.
MAY TIE UP ALL THE WORKS
Men Well Organized in All the Fac.
tories of the Corporation-Will
Work as Unit.

Pittsburg, April 15-As a result of the
dispute that for a week past has involve
ed the employees of the w. Devices wood
plant of the American Sheet company at
Mckeesport, bout half of the men are on
strike today and the Operatio Of the
plant is badly crippled. The cause Of the
trouble was the recent discharge Of seven
men. who, the men claim, We're dismissed
because they We're members or the newly
organized lodge of the Amalgamated as
sociation. The strike was ordered at
meeting of A local lodge yesterday after
noon and went into effect at IL o'clock
this morning. All IS quiet about the
works today. None of the discontented
Workmen are lettering about the mill and
there is no prospect of trouble. The
members of the firm say they will con-
tinue the operation of their plants and
that if they are troubled by the strikers
at Mckeesport they will ship their ma
terial elsewhere for manufacture. The
mills employs about 500 men an dabout
half of them are now out.
The event is looked upon as mamentous
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,
today of President J. r. Shaffer, the head
of the Amagamated Association of iron,
steeel and tin workers. to tie up every
plant of the new combine, steel. tin, tube
structural iron, wire and all, if necessary
! to win the fight. AS to the chance that
the men in all Of the mills of the United
States Steel Corporation will be called
on to come out, no one connected with
the management of any of the organized
plants in the corporation will consent to
be quoted. The only outlying companies
in the new corporation 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 come
pany. the American Tin Plate company
and the Republic Iron and Steel company
are all organized, while most of those OF
the American Sheet Steel company and
the National Steel company and Il few OF
the National Steel. American Steel and
Wire and American Bridge plants works
under the Amalgamated Association.
Most of the American Steel and Wire
plants are controlled by the rod mill men.
