English People Have Recovered
From Their Scare.

New York. Aug. 15.-Rodman Z. Cris-
com. general manager Of the Internation-
al Navigation company. just returned
from Europe and interviewed in Phila-
delphia on the steamship situation in
Europe. had this to say:
THE foreigners and particularly the
English people seem TO have gotten over
the scare which was said to have seized
them when the merger was accomplished
At the present time the general pub
lie I'm England Is absorbed In the forma-
tion OF the proposed fast steamship limo
between England and Canada. for which
the English government has asked for
bids and will grant large subsidies"
The consensus Of opinion I'm England.
he said. is that the Canadian Pacific rail-
road. which had put I'm n bid for the
government subsidy TO be given to the
new Canadian line Of steamships will be
ava rded the subsidy and will build a new
line TO run between an English port and
Canada.
Tho terminals of that railroad will then
give the company a direct line from Eu-
rope to the Orient. the steamships being
connected with the railroad at the At
lantic seaboard and at Vancouver with
the line OF steamships owned by the rail-
road company, which run from that port
10 China and japan. with connections
10 India and Australia.
Mr.. Griscom said this will put the new
line In competition with the Morgan COM
bine steamship companies. which now
have through lines from Europe as far as
San Francisco. where they connect with
the vessels OF the Occidental ard Oriental
Steamship company. In which the White
Star line has or had large interests and
most OF whose ships formerly were White
Star liners I'm the North Atlantic trade.
Mr.. Griscom did not think that the pos
sible competition would work injury to
the steamship lines running Into New
York and this port which are In the Nor

Arthur Swift. at one time OF Prov'-
dence, later OF Narragansett Pier. ana
now on the shores of New Jersey. Is sur
fering from leprosy in its lightest form.
He is at Tuxedo Park. New Jersey,
and there will remain until he recovers.
DR.. William II. Peters thinks that MT.
Swift must have contracted the disease
on trip 10 Brazil.
There are two forms of the disease,
anaesthetic and tubercular ieprosy.
WHAT PHYSICIAN SAYS.
DR.. Peters. who attended Mr.. Swift be-
fore his departure from the city fort
night ago. said:
why. he was apparently all right when
l saw him. for had he at that time shown
any signs Of affliction I would have no.
ticed II and acted accordingly.
ONLY IN MILD FORM
Nearly three weeks ago Mr.. Swift left
town, going TO Narragansett Pier and
later TO New. York city, where he placed
himself under treatment
His physicians. Morrow and Ashmead
fled a certificate that is more than fav-
orable to Mr.. Swift. The certificate Is
there is more danger OF contagion from
consumption than from the mild form OF
leprosy.
Both doctors Morrow and Ashmead de-
clared that there was far more danger TO
the public health from a consumptive pa
tient at large than from Mr.. Swift.
The health board of the city OF New
York, after full investigation OF the SUBJ
ject by experts decided that isolation OF

quired by the interests of public health.
DOCTOR cHAPINs OPINION
In consonance with the opinion express
ed by the experts. and by A H. and @. r.
physicians-the following
opinion was expressed by Doctor Chaplin:
Health Department.
Office OF Supt of Health.
Providence, X. I.
You ask II / think any danger can at
tach to you or your fathers family on
account OF Mr.. Swift's sickness.
I do not think there Is the slightest.
There is no possible danger OF any OF
your family giving the disease TO any
one.
you ever could. and your friends may
safely visit your house.
CHARLES ". CHAPLIN.
superintendent OF Health.
TYPES OF LEPRosY.
Drs. Morrow and Ashmead are not only
among the most clever experts In the
on the question of leprosy, but
they are substantiated by Laidlaw
Brothers. also OF New York city, who
as practitioners In this respect rightly
acknowledge no superiors in the world.
There are two types OF leprosy. so DIR.
w II Peters declares. One Is anaes-
thetlc and the other tuberoular
The latter consumes all the organs OF
the body: causes even fingers TO drop of,
and painful death.
The anaesthetic is not serious, being
simply an attack OF skin eruption with
little danger of infe&Son.
The authoritative opinion OF the New
York experts Is entirely in line with the
view expressed by The News on Aug T.
The News then said
The recent case OF so-called leprosy In
this city has created a great deal OF un-
necessary excitement among the people
There Is "A diversity OF opinion among
some OF the medical men connected with
the case az TO whether or not IL really
was case OF genuine leprosy. At any
rate, there Is absolutely no cause for
alarm. az the disease IS only contagious
by long contact with the individual and
then by direct incubation. There are
cases OF loathsome skin diseases I'm Prov

over from that place yesterday denies
there is case OF smallpox in Ilwaco.
He said that Frank Graham had been
sick at South Bend before coming to
Ilwaco and that the South Bend ply
sicians had pronounced 1t a case Of
wood poisoning; that the Ilwaco ply
slclans were not certain that 1t was a
case Of smallpox but had caused the
cases to be isolated out OF an abund-
ance OF precaution, As further evidence
that 1t Is not a case Of smallpox, Mr..
Hawkins says that after the soldiers
had been ordered to remain away from
Ilwaco the post surgeon at the fort
DR.. J. w. Walsh came over and ex-
amined Mr., Graham and as a result
the soldiers were permitted to visit IL
woco as usual.
