CONCEALED WEAPONS LAW
Stringent Provisions Enacted by the
Carolina Legislature.

COLUMBIA, S. O., Feb. l3 The state
senate has passed a bill making it un-
lawful for any person to carry deadly
weapon less than 20 inches in length
or pounds in weight. The bill has
already passed the house, where Is s
originated, and will now become law
unless vetoed.
South Carolina already has a strin-
gent statute against carrying concealed
weapons, but it is generally violated
and the lnfractions are seldom pre-.
sented. The sentiment against the
practice of carrying concealed weapons,
however, is growing and the advocates
OF the new measure think it will do
good. Others contend that it is plainly
unconstitutional.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be

NicaTaguan Concession To The

A Land Right Six Miles In Width

Special cablegram to Boletin Mercantil
New York, December 10fb.- In
official and political circles at Wash
ington it is assured that the govern
ment of Nicaragua has offered to
the United S:a'es a line of lard six
miles in width extending the entire
length of the Canal, where the
United States will have absolute
authority to construct any buildings
it may deem necessary, and whore
American troops and military
stores may be kept.
The notice has been received
officially by the Cabiue, but no
public announcement has been made
as yet. The Impression in Wash
ington is that the Nicarsguan Canal
resolutions will be the only ones
presented to Congress, and that no
attention will be given to the Pan

Report On The Philippines.
All Phases of the Situation in the
Islands Reviewed by the Secre.
tary Of War.-Civl Government
Under the Taft Commission.

A supplementary report of Secretary of
War Root, relating altogether to the gov.
ernment of the Philippines, made public to-
day, gives an account of the growth and
general character of the government of the
islands, dating from March, 1900. OF the
work of the second Philippine Commission,
the Secretary says:
While the President vested and could
vest in it no greater legislative authority
than the military commander previously had.
It has exercised that authority in accord
ance with legislative forms. Its sessions
have been stated and public. Its legislative
enactments have been publicly introduced
and printed in the form of bills. When of
general public interest they have been made
the subjects of public hearings before com.
mittees, which the people Of the islands nave
freely attended, and at which their views
have been freely expressed. The ordinary
legislative opportunities for amendment
have been afforded, and finally the amend
ments and the bills have been publicly de-
bated upon, and the bills passed have
become in effect statutes, subject to the ap.
proval Of the Secretary Of War, which has
not in any case been withheld. The statutes

The Public Health,
To tbs Editor BoLEr1N MERoANT1L

To the Editor BOLETIN MERCANTIL.
Sir:
Considerations for the public health in
San Juan require that certain sanitary needs
# the city should be promptly complied
With. The chief Of these lie in the correction
of the defective sewage which in several
PARTS is of sufficiently msnacing character
10 constitute distinct danger to the com
munity. Tue man holes of the street drains
at q number of points emit highly offensive
and nauseating odor which somtimes strikes
one in passing almost like bow. Els
pecally is this noticeable when the weather
S warm and humid and little air is circulat-
ing. At such times the stencil is often in
tOlerable.
San Juan is SO elevated in position and
affords in its surface conformation such
excellent facilities for adequate and sufficient
drainage that it seems as If there ought to
be no reason for the conditions described
and which are the subject of every day com.
ment. II extensive reconstruction charges
are necessary, such as might require the
relaying of the pipes, ard the conditions OF
the municipal finances will not at this time
admit of this, somthing might be done in
the way of correction by changes which
could possibly be made in the parts where
the defects are the most not ceable. At all
events these places should be closely eXamin
cd aud remtdy applied SO far as may be
possible.
The practice of thoroughly flushing all
the sewers each day from the hydrants is
an expedIent which may be resorted to and
a small cost L. would be partially effec.
tuaI in preventing the accumulation of the
discharges in the sinks of the sewers and
the consequent decomposition which follows.
This is now occasionally partially done but
It has never been sufficiently thorough or
systematic. It should be continue If neces.
sary W ere the odors gather until some
degree of purfcation, at least, is secured
San Juan has almost all the natural con.
dItlons that are necessary to make health
ful place. 1t is elevated in position and all
surface as we'll as Inder drainage should be
ample and Tree. There are no flats Or mar
shes near where stagnsnt waters and decay
ing vegetation may gather and so produce
the fostering germs OF disease. The city
during much of the time is swept by cooling
and purifying breezes laden with the saline
exhalations of the sea. Ii becomes, then, a
matter of the gravest concern to us to allow
no injurious influences to impair these prime
conditions.
The Superior Board of Health should
take the matter up without delay as prompt
action to abate the evil In part at least Is
lmperauvely called for. A period of great
aud prolonged heat with these fetid emana
tlone growing daily more noisome might be
fraught with grave peril TO the city.
