NEGOTIATING INDIANS
AGAINST BUBONlC PLAGUE
Natives Show Unexpected Willingness
to Submit to Sanitary
Operation.

CALCUTTA. Oct. 27.-The government
OF the Punjab recently took what it con
s5dered was an extreme step to prevent
the spread Of bubonic plague in that
prosince. II issued an order directing
that the entire population should sub
nit to incubation against the disease
at the hands of the sanitary officers.
At the tine 1t was feared that the ma
tives. with their usual antipathy-te any
thing partaking Of the nature Of sanitary
precautions, would bitterly. oppose com
pIiance with the order Much to the sur
prise Of the authorities, however, no op-
position Is being offered. and the work of
incubation, which Is a tremendous task.
IS progressing satisfactorily.
As instancing the willingness Of the
inhabitants 70 undergo the operation,
several native regiments have presented
themselves in bodies for the treatment

A FIRE-PRO0F VILLAGE.

New York Tribune.
4 fre-proof village Is the latest plan
to which the Russian administration has
resorted II order to prevent confagra-
tons, which have retarded so much the
development Of Muscovite country lands.
It is known that the ''izbas" or huts OF
the moujiks are built Of wood and rooted
with straw, so that a whole village is
likely TO be destroyed entirely il only
one hut catches fire. This was the fate
OF the prosperous village Of Bazina. The
inhabitants asked the government for
permission to establish themselves in
a neighboring locality. Authorization
was granted. but on the condition that
houses shall be built in a manner diff
ferent from the traditional one; that is,
they should be constructed OF fire-proof
material. 4 subsidy Of 100 rubles was
granted to each inhRbitant, and the mu-
niciPaIIty furnished iron az cost price.
The village was built according 10 those
conditions, but the peasants do not like
It; the majority Of them regret the old
'izbas," where their fathers were born
and where there is always a chance Of
being burned alive.

COASTWISE COMMERCE
OPENED TO FOREIGNERS
New Registry Regulation in
the Philippines.

MANILA. Oct. q. - The Philippine
Commission has authorized an extern
sion of the coast wise trade OF the archi-
peIago so that shipowners of any ma
tionaHty may engage in II. This Is
gratifying in the extreme to the mer-
chants and others
Heretofore this trade has been prac-
ticaIIy a monopoly in the hands Of
Spaniards. They charged exorbitant
rates. and we're protected by the old
Spanish laws
The new order Will probably result in
revoIutionizing insuIar commerce. 1t
j. expected that a large number of Ger
mans. English, Chinese, and japanese
will now take advantage Of the new reg
istry regulation
The Chinese now control the rice sit
uation. and are smashing the English
and Spanish pool with the aid of China
guilds.
The wretched agricultural conditions
are causing poor trade prospects for
next year.
The Philippine Commission has decid-
eli to devote the sum OF $4,000. the
profit Of Government sales Of rice under
General Bells administration. including
the profits derived from the concentra>
| ton villages in Batangas, Laguna, and
Mindoro. to the purchase OF food to be
distributed to the poor through the
agency Of the civil officials in the prov
inces mentioned above. It will also loan
/ 81. 500 Of the insular funds to the prov
ince Of IIoicos Tor the purchase Of food
/ for the sufferers there.
The general suffering among the ma
tives is the natural result of the war and
! pestiIence. Permanent relief cannot b,
Expected until 1904. when, 1t is thought
! agriculture will revive.
General Bell. with the aid of tn,
chief Of the agricultural bureau, has Sc
cured an appropriation for the purchase
/ OF seeds and machinery. and is taking
! great pains to instruct the natives il
American methods of farming. Hi
soldiers have discarded their guns 70
! plows.

!IfINzE SAYS YOUNG
CLARK'S TALE IS A LIE
Senator Declares He Be-
Iieves Sons Story,

HELENA. Mont. Oct. 27.-F Angus
tus Heinze. president of the Montana
Ore Purchasing Company. whom Charles
". Clark. eldest son Of Senator W A.
Clark. accused OF having tried to bride
him. Is severe in his denunciation of
Young Clark for uttering such a tale,
and most cmphatIcaIIy denies its anthem
ITCHY
why, the mere mention of the
amount named is enough to stamp it as
lie" said HeInze. How Charley
Clark could be induced to make such
g silly statement is beyond my com
prehension. It seems an idle folly to
DENY. such a dream, but as some are dis
posed TO believe it, coming from fam
lily whose own skirts are not altogether
clear Of such taints. I Will do so, and
declare that it has not the least founda-
ton IN truth"
Senator Clark. when shown .Heinze's
statement. said.
My son told me of the brazen offer
made him by Heinze, and have no rea-
son to doubt lis word. was not sur
prfsed that a man who had been in the
Democratic party less than a week, and
who came TO me demanding one Of two
seats In the United States Senate at
that time vacant, would make such a
move.
'Heinzs is trying to sell out to the
AmaEgamated Copper Company his hold
ings in this State, and there is a diff
ference OF $1,000. 900 OF $4,000. 600 be-
tween them as regards the purchase
price. Now. il Heinze can win his hun
dred or more suits pending in the courts
he can compel the Amalgamated Com
pany to accede TO his figures.
That is why he is moving heaven and
earth to control the judiciary. He
could well afford to pay $780, 600 for
IS. COZ. 900. and that he made the offer
in good faith I have no doubt. But it
does my heart good to know that my
son spurned his offer with the contempt
1t richly deserved.
y am. and shall always be, unalter-
ably opposed to corporation rule, wheth-
/ er It be Heinze. the AmaIgamated, OF
vhosoever."
