A CHANCE FOR MOLOkA|
TO AMEND THE OBNOXIOUS KAHN
BILL.
One of the PHILIPPINE Islands Proposed
as National Leper Settlement--3O,O 900
Lepers.

The danger of having a national leper
settlement established at Molokai may
perhaps be avoided by the territory of
Hawaii by passing it along to the
Philippines Since Congressman Kahn's
bill was heard of vigorous protests have
gone forward from Honolulu, in press
dispatches and through the usual poll
teal channels, and now it is reported
that the government needs settlement
in the Philippines.
The Philippines are more entitled to
the honor of having the national laza-
retto than Hawaii accordingly Ha-
walls kick may have the effect of sub
stituting a Philippine island for Molo-
kai, in the Kahn bill, should the latter
be passed. There are said to be no less
than 10000 lepers in the Philippines, and
those in the United States would be no
appreciable addition to such a popula-
| ton of unfortunates. The following
shows that the government is taking
hold of the matter:
WASHINGTON December 25.-There
are 10000 lepers in the Philippines, and
the Government is trying to find a way
| of isolating them to check the spread OF
the disease. A Board of Health has
| been organized with Surgeon Guy l..
! Edie president, and Surgeon Edie re-
ports to the War Department that a
! commission has been appointed to Sc
lect suitable island or islands for the
purpose of segregating or isolating
these people.
| In his report Edie says leprosy was
| introduced into the Philippines in 1893
the Emperor of Japan sending a shiI
with $50 lepers as a present to be cared
for bv the Catholic priests. They were
allowed to land, and no practical
methods ever were adopted to eradicate
the disease or prevent its spread. There
are not less than 10000 lepers in the

are in the Visayas group. The Taft

Robert Waddell appeared in the fifth
race. 1t was only a six-furlong sprint,
and as Waddell is supposed to be at his
best at a longer distance, and there were
some good sprinters opposed to the Derby

comparative ease, while the crowd cheered.
