eradicate the evil.
The national quarantine law of Feb
ruary Is, 1898, says clearly that when
the state authorities refuse to carry
out rules suggested to them by the
United States marine hospital service
for the prevention Of the admission of
contagious diseases then the president
shall see that such rules are observed.
There is reason to believe, therefore,
that within the next few days Surgeon
General Wyman of the marine hospital
service will receive instructions to for
ward to the health authorities of Cali
fornia certain regulations to govern
the entry of vessels from Asiatic ports
into the harbor Of San Francisco.
Should the California officials maintain
their policy of declaring that the plague
does not exist in the state and ignore

The acid throwing occurred in the

art would not give her money, and
picked up a vessel containing acid.
Showing it to Stewart, she said: do
as I say, or l will throw this in your
face"
Stewart thought she was joking.
! Without another word she threw the
stuff in his face. AS the poison burn

and blindly around the room, crying
out for help in his agony. In an en-

fl FIGHT FOR LIFE
The Man Orazed from Drink Hurled
Bricks Through NeIghboring
Houses and Had to Be
CIubbed bu the Police

PITTSBURG, Nov, 7.-One thous-
and little school children just released
from the Forbes school, and 800 patti
ents of the West Side of the Mercy
Hospital last evening witnessed a
fearful battle in midair for life be-
tween s. J. Little and William Bal
lantyne on the fifth floor of the Skel-
eton frame for new apartment house
at 1929 Locust street. To-Day Little is
confined to his home with his head
battered, while Ballantyne lies sense
less in No. 2 Police station, having
been beaten into insensibility by the
police.
Ballantyne went insane from drink
while high in the air. The houses in
the vicinity of the battle are shattered,
while the hospital windows were also
broken by bricks thrown by the crazed
contractor Little. who is a we'll
known contractor, is erecting a new
apartment house for himself. He sub
let the work to Ballantyne, who came
to the place drunk He went to the
top of the building, where there was
nothing but beams and scantlings, and
began an argument. He chased all
the worllmen off and grappled with
Little, who came up to expostulate.
The men swayed and wrestled far
above the ground, where one false step
would send then to the cellar Is feet
below. Little fought for his life and
tossed the mad Ballentyne from him.
Ballantyne ran to barrow of bricks
ard began to throw them at Little,
who was knocked down twice as he
stumbled down the ladder.
Ballantyne followed screeching like
an Indian. Little reached the street
first with blood streaming from his
head. Ballantyne took possession of a
brick pile and began to lombard wag-
on which came by. He wrecked the
wagon, whipped the driver, and then
began an assault on the peighboring
houses with bricks. He SHE'D several

A study of the official reports of gov

They show that the number of deaths
is steadily increasing, those for the
months of August, September and Oc-

facts and the persistent refusal of the
state authorities to recognize the evil

something that will save the rest of

then the federal quarantine officers
may be looked to to take charge of the
situation. There is no question of the
right of the deral Government to do
this, the law Of 1893 being clear and
emphatic.
The disease has been confined prin
cipally to the Chinese residents of San
Francisco and their reluctance in sub
hitting to quarantine regulations and
American methods of treatment in
creases the difficulties in stamping it
out.
The reason for the apparently strange
conduct of the governor of California
and other state officers in refusing to
admit that a single case of the plague
has been discovered is found in the
simple fact that such an admission
would injure business. The newspa-

The woman claims the officers re-
fused to stop gambling, and that she
was determined her husbasd should be
robbed no more, so she waded in. No
arrests have been made, and there
probably will be none, as there is a
strong anti-gambling sentiment at Fort

Former Vermonters for Tariff Changes

1t is a noteworthy fact that the three
prominent republicans in other States who
are agitating the question of tariff revision
by the Republican party are natives or
Vermont. Congressman Babcock of Wis
consin, chairman of the republican con
gressional campaign committee, was one
of the earliest advocates of the project to
weaken the steel trust by removing the
protective duty on the products of that
combination.
Congressma George Edmund Foss, who
went to Chicago from Franklin county
only a comparatively few years ago, has
come out in an interview in which he says
he finds a growing sentiment among the
people for a readjustment OF the protective
tariff to new conditions, and after predict
ing victory for the republicans in the COM
ing elections, he expresses the opinion that
the Republican party ought then to make
such notifications and changes in the
tariff as are advisable
Eugene n Foss of Jamaica Plain, Mass.
brother of Congressman Foss of Chicago,
and a wealthy manufacturer, has taken
as the chief planks of the platform on which
he is making his canvass for Congress in
the new congressional district in Boston,
the removal of the duty on beef, hides and
coal and other raw material used in New
England manufactures, and the removal
OF the restrictions on trade between the
United States and Canada.
There seems to be growing idea that it
will be better for the Republican party
to make needed changes in tariff schedules
gradually than to omit all tariff modifca-
tions until the people are again impelled
to give the Democratic party mandate
to smash the tariff"

On Guard, Republicans.

The latest dodge of the anti-republicans
in Vermont is to urge the organization OF
tine House by those who are opposed to
liquor legislation as it stands, on the
ground that the republicans will not be
likely to give the local option referendum
fair play. This is very specious plea, but
a careful examination of the situation will
serve to show that this is but another trick
on the part of the anti-republicans.
This proposition is for the democrats and
the Clement men to unite on a candidate
for the speakership and to try to induce
sufficient number of straight republicans,
who are opposed to prohibition, to unite
with them for the alleged purpose OF get
ting fair play for local option. The Brat
tleboro Reformer, for example, urges that
tho House will contain 145 men who are in
favor of local option, no matter by whom
they were supported, and 1t takes the posi-
ton that it is their duty to ignore party
lines and support one Of their own num-
Der for speaker.
Republicans will hardly fail, however
to note that while this move is alleged to
be in favor of local option, every man con-
| nomination for the speakership by the an
ti.repubicans is a democrat DIR. Conland
of Brattleboro, was the man first selected
in this connection, but he has announced
| that he can not consent to allow the use
of his name as a candidate for speaker on
account of delicate health, and the anti
republicans are now trying to rally their
forces about Eli II Porter Of Wilmington.
Mr. Porter is good man. but when re-
publlcans are asked to support him on a
certain issue they will hardly overlook the
fact that they are thus asked to throw the
organization Of the House into the hands
of the democratic branch OF the anti-re-
publican combination of which Percival
". Clement, professed republican, is one
of the prime movers.
This trick will not win. for the straight
republicans are in a majority in the House
as well as In the Senate, according to the
| returns of even the Rutland Herald, and
they will not be foolish enough to play into
the hands of their political enemies at this
late day after winning control of the Leg
islature by vigorous contest. The re-
publicans will watch OUT for every trick
| Of this character, for the opposition forces
