adopted in ignorance, or in the dark,

1T does not seem to me that any
Republican can claim with good grace
that the platform does not represent
the sentiment of the people OF the

and when the Republican party
speaks II is the duty Of the loyal Re

Ed. Journal: You do me a great in
Justice in taking headline which was
placed over my news correspondence
at the offce in Portland. and giving a
sermon thereon by yourself Every
worker in your office, from the editor
to the devil. knows that the CORE
spondent does not fix the headlines
and Is not responsible for them. so the
person who wrote the criticism in last

doing that which was the rattlest kind
OF journalism.
am perfectly willing to have any
part Of my correspondence to the Tel.
egram quoted, and am at all times
ready to take the responsibility for II,
and am surprised that the editors Of
The Journal whose personal friend.
ship claim, would allow an unfair
advantage TO be taken. The follow.
ing Is the exact language used to the
Telegram relative to conditions infiu.
encing the election, and such was the
language above which the headline
you quoted was placed. am ready to
back every word this contains. and
considerable more:
"The Republican. managers are
much handicapped in the contest. The

That is straight talk, and It is all
true; why didn't you copy that. and
contradict Il? never said a word in

derstand why you should go of half

prove fatal, but that such is not the
case was proved the other day by 4
member of the Institution of Electric
nj Engineers, who stated that even
with wetted boots he had stood on the
rails of the City and South London
railway. sat on the live conductor and
slapped the running rails with bare
hands. He further said that, provided
the day were dry and the skin not
moist, it was quite safe for the aver
age person to handle live wires. One
man fell on Il cable carrying a current
of 5000 volts and escaped with only
few burns. Another man was rendered
unconscious by two thousand volt
current. but was soon restored unhurt.
A one hundred volt current has been
known to cause death, but such a case

Salt Lake, which for several years has

since 1891 amounts to nearly six feet,

CHOLERA STATISTICS
Deaths That Have Occurred at
Manila Since the Scourge
There Broke Out.
MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND GASES
Fatal Ones Being of Big Percent
age-Hard to Make Natives
Report Attacks.

Washington, Aug. THE bureau
of inSular affairs of the war depart
ment has received a report from the
board of health of the Philippine ISL
ands and the city of Manila, dated
May 10, 1902. This report was prepared
by Major l.. NJ. Maus, surgeon, L. :.
A., the commissioner of public health
for the Philippine islands. Its princi-
pal interest lies in the report on Asiat-
ic cholera from the date of its first
appearance i'll Manila, March 20, 1902,
to the date of the report, which shows
that during that time 1905 cases of
Asiatic cholera had been reported in
Manila, 500 of which had been fatal,
and 2Oo not fatal.
All Cases Treated in Hospitals.
The cases i'll respect to nationality,
deaths and mortality, were divided
as follows: FilpinOs, S62 cases, 600
deaths; Chinese, 103 cases, Il deaths;
Americans, % cases, Is deaths; Eng
lish, 13 cases, 10 deaths; Europeans
and others, 4 cases, deaths. From
the beginning of the epidemic all cases,
with few exceptions, We're treated in
cholera hospitals organized by the
board of health. From March 23 un-
til April Is all cases were sent to the
hospital esta bIiShed on the San Lazaro
grounds, and the contacts to the de-
tention camp adjoining, which had
previously been constructed for bubon-
ic plague contacts.
Sisters of Charity Com mpIimented.
Arrangements also were made to es-
tablish a hospital in large building
OIL Calle Herran, formerly used by the
army, and known as the second re-
serve hospital. The free use of this
building was secured TO the board of
health through the kindness of SenoreS
Trinidad JuradO, Bertrand de Lis, and
other members of the commission of
the Spanish colony. Major Maus calls
attention to the splendid work per-
formed by the Sisters of Charity who
We're sent there as nurses.
Natives Did Not Cooperate.
There was practically no co-Opcra-
tion among the natives in regard to
reporting cases occurring in their fam
lies, and for this reason it became
necessary to employ large number of
men acting as sanitary inspectors.
many of whom We're sent to affected
towns in neighbOring provinces. y
system of rules and regula tons was
adopted affecting the cooked food
shops. Although the enforcement of
these rules among a population of
100000 people was very difficult, Il
marked decrease in the number of
cases was shortly observed.
House Fly a Propagator.
There is no doubt, the report says.
that the ordinary household fly can
transfer the cholera spirilum from in
fected matter to food, rs is the case
with typhoid fever. The board of
health has inaugurated crusade
against flies by means of fly poison,
and also has begun the destruction of
maggotS in the esterOs.
