SA NFRANCISCO. September "A
passenger on the steamer Hongking
Maru arriving yesterday from the
Orient, was Barbour LathrOp an Anne
rican, who has been on a tour of Asia
in the interests of the United states
Agricultural Department, although at
his own expense. He was accompanied
by d. G. Fairchild scientist who was
detailed by the Agricultural Depart
ment to assist Lathrop in his research
es. They have been as far as the Gulf
of Persia, where economic plants of
value to agriculture in this country
were gathered. Plant life in Japan was
also studied, particularly the bamboo,
and specimens of this and other forms
of plant life were brought back. LaIn-
rop will max a report to the department
concerning his discoveries. He is es-
pecially enthusiastic regarding the pos
sibilities of bamboo for which there is
multitudinous number of uses.

EPIDEMIC is REACHING GREAT
PROPORTIONS.
In One Province People are Dying by
Hundreds-Pathetic Story comes from
Manila-Death of Bridegroom.

VICTORIA, B. c.. August 27.-The
epidemic of cholera is reaching alarm
ing proportions on the other side of the
Pacific, the outbreak extending fur
Their and having more victims than
ever before reported. 1t extends from
the Island of Java to Japan, and al
most every city on the coast and many
in the interior are affected. The dis
ease, too, is being contracted by Euro
peans as well as natives. IN Hong
kong, from the first of the outbreak To
August th,6 there had been 523 cases,
six of the patients being Europeans,
and 511 deaths, of whom four were
Europeans. In Tientsin the last report
placed the number of cases for the
year at 1049 and deaths 764 within the
city walls, and 1915 cases and 59S
deaths outside the city walls. In other
places in China the proportion OF cases
and deaths is just as great. A dispatch
says hundreds have died in Java.
A writer from Kuelin, Kwansi prov
ince, says: II write from a city strick-
en- with violent epidemic of cholera.
People are dying by hundreds daily.
Outside the city over 1000 have died.
Whole families are reported t. have
died. The beggars are by this time @X-
tinct. Among such people few can
have survived. They are to be seen dy-
ing everywhere, and numbers are put
out to die. The top Of the wall is a
favorite place for SUCH as is also the
King City square, in front OF the eX-
animation halls. There any number
can be seen in all stages, lying ana
dead. 1t is most pitiable to see and be
powerless to do anything to help. The
supply of collins has long since been
exhausted. Now all the tub and buck
et-makers and the carpenters are max
ing any sort of collins To try to meet
the great demand. But still this is not
enough, for l hear that numbers axe
being buried merely wrapped up in
mating, often two and three together.
A pathetic story comes from Manila.
Miss jeanette Williams, NJ. D.. OF Colo
RADIO University, arrived thete last
month to wed Rudolph Rumstein, Il
teacher in Lagunl province. Rum
stein met his bride a Z o'clock in the
morning, and as he was il! it was de-
cided to have the wedding at O'Clock
| instead of in the afternoon, the hour
| originally set. They were married, out
at l o'clock Rumstein succumbed to
| cholera.
