MOSQUITO CRUSADER
THIS is DIR. DoTY, HEALTH OFF,
GER OF NEW YORK.
HAS BEGUN HIS OPERATIONS,
TO DETERMINE TRANSMISSION OF
MALARIAL DISEASES.

The Doughty Doty Hunts Them In
Their Native Lair on Staten Island,
and Finds 1t "a Most Fertile Field
of Investieation-HeS Snys the Re-
suits Already Have Been of Great
Interest From Scientific stand
point.
New York, Aug 12.-Dr. Alvah H.
Doty, health officer of this port, who
has of late been carrying on a warfare
against mosquitoes, beginning his OPP
erations on Staten Island, to-day issued
a statement concerning these opera
tions, which have been prosecuted with
a view TO determining definitely, il
possible, whether the malarial fever
parasite is transmitted from one per-
son to another by the female of the
anapheles species of mosquito. DR..
Doty at the New York quarantine lab
oratory. has been carrying on his in
vestigations for year past. He first
selected a low lying district in which
were many stagnant pools and on which
were 100 small houses. Inspection show
ed that at least thirty per cent. of the
Inhabitants were suffering from
acute or chronic forms of
malaria. Samples of water from
and barrels disclosed larvae of the
mosquito. large glass tubes were dis
tributed among the houses for the
purpose of securing some of the mos
quitoes which infested the neighbor-
hood and among those collected were
found the anapheles or malarial mos
quitoes. In one OF the houses a little
girl z years old was found suffering
from acute malaria. DR.. Doty was al
lowed by the mother to secure a drop
of blood from the lobe of the ear. A
psychological examination of this was
made in the laboratory and the para
site found. In the meantime some of
the anapheles will be dissected to dis
cover If possible the presence of the
parasite.
Dr. Doty next describes the appara-
tus he used in spreading the oil, the
latter being forced to the bottom of
the ponds, from which 1t rose to the
top, bringing with IL Quantities Of the
larvae.
DR.. Doty sums up by saying:
"The result of this investigation
from a scientific point has been of
great interest:
First. Because 1t has shown the in
innate relation between the mosquito
and malarial fever; second, because 1t
has revealed to those who have been
identified with this investigation the
true breeding places of the mosquito,
which I as quite sure are, not generally
known; third, it has shown that petro-
leum oil will surely and promptly de-
stroy mosquito larvae, and so far as
careful experiments Indicate. it is the
only agent which can be depended up
on for this purpose"

THE HALIFAX BEACHED.
Plant Line Steamer struck Ledge
in Thick Fog.

Boston, Aug. 12.-The Plant Line
steamer Halifax. Capt. Pye. from
Charlottetown. Port Hawkensbury and
Halifax, N. S.. struck ledge off Mi
nots light while coming into. port in
a thick fog, early to-day. She freed
herself, however. and was beached in
sinking condition. Tugs and lighters
have gone from here for passengers
and baggage.
An officer of the steamer reached
here early in the forenoon, bringing
the mails. He reported that the yes
sci encountered an impenetrable fog
during last night and that she struck
at about 5 o'clock this morning BY
her own efforts she fioated as the tide
rose. An examination showed that the
fore compartments were full of water
and Capt. Pye decided to beach the
craft. He forced her upon mud flats
at the northeast end of Georges Island.
The Halifax carried $50 passengers
and a cargo of miscellaneous freight
There was little or no excitement
among the passengers.
The steamer is in an easy position
and is believed to be in little danger of
further damage unless a northeast
storm should set in.

SIMPSONS SUCCESSOR.
Rear Admiral johnson mt Port Royal
Has Been Selected.


Washington. Aug. 12.-The Navy De-
partment has selected Rear Admiral
Mortimer l.. Johnson. now in COM
mand at the Port Royal Naval Sta
ton, to succeed Admiral Sampson in
command of the Boston navy yard,
when the latter officer shall retire. The
formal appointment has not been
made, as it is not known how soon Ad-
miral Sampson may wish to be reliev-
ed, or whether he will wait until his
retirement from the service next Feb
ruary. However, ii is usual when the
retirement of an officer is ahead. to
look about for those available to sue
ceed him, and this led the department
some weeks ago to determine upon
Admiral Johnson for the prospective
service.
1t has been known for some time to
Navy Department officials that Ad-
miral Sampson is not in robust health.
and that he might desire to lay aside
his duties at the yard before the date
of his retirement from the service. AS
to this, however, 1t is stated at the
Navy Department that there is no def
mite information from Admiral Samp-
son. He has not asked to be relieved.
or indicated when he would like to be
detached. 1t is stated that the action
of the department has no connection
with the Schley court of inquiry Of
ficials of the department were unable
to say to-day whether Admiral Samp-
son would be summoned as witness
or would appear otherwise before the
court although it was said to be alto
gether probable that he would be
among the witnesses.

League and X nights of Labor Confer
ms to Ways and Means.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The joint COM
mittee of the American Antitrust
League and District Assembly No. 66
of the Knights of Labor held a meeting

ings against the trust under the Sher-
man act. If these efforts fail, recourse

CRITICAL
WE WILL LOOK AFTER INTERESTS
OF COLOMBIA.
HER MINISTER WILL RETIRE.
THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN
WARFARE.

No Additional Developments ON the
Isthmus-The Navy Department.
Has Now Definitely Determined to
Make Use of the BattIeship Iowa,
Instead of the Wisconsin, for the
Pacific Side-The Iowa the Flag
ship.
Washington, Aug 12.-The State De-
partment has authorized the American
charge daffaires at Caracas, Venezuela,
to use his good offices for Colombia,
in case the Colombian minister at the
Venezuelan capital leaves that coun-
try. Mr.. Russell telegraphed last
week, seeking instructions as to his
course of action in case of the with
drawal of the Colombian minister,
which apparently was in contemplation
at that time. He did not, however, in
dicate that this withdrawal was pre-
liminary to any rupture between the
two republics, but simply asked If he
would be authorized to act temporarily
in looking after Colombia's interests in
case of the withdrawal of the minister.
AS it is the universal custom to act in
this manner, when the request is made.
Mr.. Russell was authorized to use his
good offices for Colombia, in case this
was agreeable to the Venezuelan gov
ernment. Since then the American
charge has not been heard from and
it is not known whether the COlom-
bian minister has withdrawn from Ven
eZuela, or whether Mr.. Russell is full
filling this temporary duty.
There have been no additional de-
Velopments as to the situation on the
Isthmus of Panama, where the trouble
is far removed from that along the
Venezuelan border. Consul General
Gudger's course in looking after the
interests of Chinese along the isthmus,
is not in pursuit of any specific instruc-
tions from Washington, but follows
procedure established some twelve
years ago, in connection with points
at which the Chinese were entirely
without official representation.
The Navy Department has now def
nitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa, instead of the Wiscon-
sin, for use on the Pacific side of the
isthmus, in case affairs become serious
there. This was due to the fact that
no word had been heard from the Wis
consin, while the Iowa had reported
her arrival at Bremertop. Her COM
mander, Capt. Thomas Perry, has been
ordered to take the ship to San Fran
cisco and is expected to sail tonight.
The Iowa is the flagship of the Pacific
station. and as such flies the flag of
Rear Admiral Silas Casey. At last re-
ports received here the Admiral was
on board the Iowa, but it is hardly
probable that he will proceed further
south than San Francisco. The gum
boat Machias has reported her arrival
at Norfolk and probably will sail for
Colon tonight or tomorrow morning.

THE NEW SHAMROCK.
She Is Carried to Her Anchorage 10
he Put in Racing Trim.

New York, Aug. 12.-The new Ameri-
cas- challenger Shamrock III, lay at
anchor off Sandy Hook lightship last
night and early this morning was tow
ed up the bay to Tompkinsville, Staten
Island. She will be taken at once to
Erie Basin, where she will be stripped
and her racing mast stepped. Her
spars are ready and there will be no
delay in getting her into racing trim.
The challenger of 1901 received a
lively and enthusiastic welcome from
every craft in the harbor, as she came
up the bay in tow of the tug Robert
Haddon.
1t was at her anchorage overlooking
the field where she is to give battle
in September to the defender of the
cup that the yachting esharps had thir
first glimpse of the new challenger by
daylight. The grace and beauty of the
lines of her slender body were mar
red by her cumbrous cruising rig and
the litter and confusion on her deck
as her crew were preparinnf to weigh
anchor. But one glance was sufficient
to convince the experts that Watson
had built a much handsomer boat than
the old Shamrock. She looks the fast

STRIKERS ASK FOR AID.
Associations Secreta-
ry Publishes n General Appeal.


ry Publishes n General Appeal.
Pittsburg, Aug. 12.-Secretary Will
liams to-day gave out an appeal to the
general public for financial aid. 1t
reads as follows:
ITO the members of organized labor:
Brethren-As you are undoubtedly
aware, the United States Steel Corpora
tion is now waging a war against or
ganized labor by making the Anal
gamated Assocition the subject on
convention it was unanimously decided
to ask the United States Steel Corpora
tion, when settling their annual scale
with the Amagamated Association,
that they sign or recognize the scale
of the Amalgamated Association in all
their mills. When the matter was
broached the matter was peremptorily
refused. After the holding of several
conferences the demand of our organ
ization was modified so as to take in
stituent companies, viz: The American
Sheet Steel Company, the American
Tin Plate and the American Steel Hoop
Company, where local lodges had been
formed, and where the men were very
desirous of being union men, and we
are now out on a strike for recogni-
ton.
In the conferences which were held
by the representatives of the United
States Steel Corporation and the Anal
gamated Association, the representa-
pany's only arguments were that they
did not desire the Amalgamated Asso-
citation to become too powerful, and
that they should hold the balance OF
power. Later conferences were held
with the heads of the United States
Steel Company, who submitted a
proposition that we only sign for the
mills signed for last year, with the ex-
ception of the sheet mills in Salisbury
and Scottdale, which were signed for
the year previously. Their proposition
was rejected as it meant that the
Amalgamated Association would mere
ly have to remain in quiescent state
while they were expanding and ex-
tending their non-union possessions.
They are waging a fight for the ex-
termination of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation and for the workmen to COM
bine, a principle which they have
demonstrated to the people of the
United States, they desire themselves,
and so persstently refuse to grant us.
This blow is not alone directed at the
Amalgamated Association, but at or
ganized labor in general should
they succeed in defeating the Anal
gamated Association it will affect
every organized body in the United
States.
ITO succeed in this struggle it will
be necessary to seek the aid of every
organized body as well as the general
public, whose sympathies we know are
with us in the present struggle. To
this end we ask that you give us
your. moral and finacial aid. A liberal
response financially will materially as
sist us in conducting a victorious cam
paign for a principle which is the in
alieneable right of every American
freeman.
IF you desire to aid the Amalgamat-
ed Association in the present struggle
financially, all money should be for
warded to John Williams, secretary
treasurer, Bissell Block, Pittsburg,

innate that influences that would not
bear investigation were used on the
men, III is claimed that a canvass made
week ago showed a majority in favor
oi striking and that no reasonable eX-
planatlon of the charge of front has
Deen made. President Shaffer refrains
from any, direct criticism of the act of
the Western men, but it is known that
ne deeply regrets the loss of their sup
port.
The Savings Deposits.
No attempt has been made as yet to
put in operation the plan of withdraw
ing savings deposits, suggested by
president Shaffer in his speeches of
saturday. The suggestion aroused
great interest, particularly in banking
circles, and many bankers not connect
eu with the large industrial combina-
uohs nave protested against it. Presi-
oent Shaffer SAID to-day that he had
not sent out the circular dealing with
the matter. He said:
have the circular in nv pocket
sun and the matter is under consider
atlon. l am aware that there are banks
Whlcn nave no connection with the
trust or its interests. There are things
TO be considered which makes it nee
essary to stop any action for the pres
eht. On general lines, however, the
matter is perfectly reasonable. Why
should our people put money in the
banks to be loaned to the trust to car
ry on their business of destroying us ?"
Two men who claimed that they
were seeking work were ordered out of
McKeesport as suspicious characters
to-day They insisted that they were
not vagrants, but had come to town
to work. The police decided that they
must leave, however. Discussing his
stand on the question of police protec-
tion, Mayor Black to-day said:
AS long as there is no disorder
have no right to interfere. l thought
to-day that if the company had the
right to occupy two of the principal
streets of the city that the men had
right to stand on the sidewalks as
long as they were orderly. / will main

Free List includes Rice, Cereals,
Flour and Bullion and Corn.
Washington, Aug. 12.-The state de-
partment has received a cablegram
from Mr.. Rockhill at Pekin, reporting
that the draft of the final protocol has
been agreed upon. A tariff of per
cent. ad valorem. effective, will be put
in force two months after the signing
of the final protocol excepting on. goods
shipped within ten days after signing
and will continue until the conversion
to specific rates has been effected by
the expert commission. The Chinese
free list will include rice. foreign ce-
reals and flour. gold and silver bullion
and coin. This inclusion of flour In
the free list is of much Importance
particularly to Pacific coast shippers.
The American shippers of rice and
other articles mentioned are not very
large and the inclusion of rice on the
free list is chiefly due to China's needs
of this staple food.

Grassland was suspended from his Of

1T was also developed that last win
