PANAMA AND MOSQUITOES.
Great Importance of Speedy Action
Toward Sanitation.

Now that it Is practically decided
that canal. to divided the continents
of North and South America, will be
built, it may not be out Of place to
consider the probable effects Of this
undertaking from a sanitary point Of
view. In the first instance, it would
seem certain that the building of an
isthmian canal will be attended by
great loss of life. unless measures are
enforced to render the conditions in
the regions through which the water
way must pass less inimical to health
than is the case at present. The dis
trict bordering on the proposed Pa
mama route is, perhaps, one OF the
most VIGOROUSLY unhealthy In the
world. This fact was concluslvely
proved by the mortality and sickness
among the laborers on the portion or
the Panama Canal built by the Les
seps company. White men were I'M
able to live for any length Of time in
the locality, and the mortality among
the Chinese, and to a lesser extent
among the negroes, was frightful.
Sir Patrick Manson, in a paper read
before the archaeological Society OF
Great Britain, foreshadowed the pos
sible danger of invasion by yellow fe-
yer Of Asia as the consequence of the
digging Of the Panama Canal. He
pointed out that shiploads Of laborers
would soon be plying between Panama
90 Acio hot
less extraordinary precautions were
taken the inevitable result must be
that the malady would be conveyed
and spread among the seeth1ng multi
tudes Of the far east. In the Journal
of Tropical Medicine, DR.. ST. George
Gray, Sierra Leone, returns to this
subject and discusses the sanitary
measures necessary to prevent the In
PRODUCTION Of yellow fever into Asia
from Panama. He is Of the opinion
that these may be divided into (a)
measures to be adopted at the point
Of departure, /. e., at the Central
American port, and (b) measures to
be adopted at the port Of arrival
the Asiatic port
The writer takes it as absolutely
proven that mosquitoes are the sole
cause of yellow fever, and suggests
| that an international sanitary board
should be appointed by the govern
ments having interests in the far east,
and that they should be especially
qualified for the work. They should
have powers to frame such quarantine
or other regulations as may be deem
ed necessary and to enforce these reg
ulations by means of penalties, which
should be sufficiently heavy to insure
their being carried out by the most
careless and Indifferent Of captains.
The sanitary board should make sure
that no vessels which have not been
thoroughly cleared of mosquitoes leave
the isthmus for any Asiatic port The
! final clearing Of mosquitoes should
take place at an anchorage to be Sc
lected for the purpose, at least 300
yards away from the nearest shore,
and once the fumigation is completed
the vessel should not approach the
shore again, but passengers, mails and
cargo from open lighters could be re-

JUDGE Is IMPARTIAL.
He Fines Everyone Concerned in Fight
SIS Apiece.

Emma Fennell, Bert Fennell, Will
bur Fennen and c. H Huston were
fined SIS each and costs in police court
last evening for disturbing the peace.
Joe Bowers, an old soldier who was
arrested at the same time, was dis
charged, as the police failed to con-
meet him with the disturbance.
The disturbance occurred about .
o o'clock Sunday morning at the corner
of Nineteenth and Harrison streets,
near the home of Mrs. FenneH, who
lives in the same house as Bowers. The
principal witness was Tom Hurley, a.
fireman employed at the stone yards
who stated that Huston and the two
Fennell boys had assaulted him, while
the mother of the boys stood by and
cursed him. The story of the defense
was that Hurley had accosted Mrs.
Fennell and told her that she would
have to move out of that neighbour
hood, and that it ended in a fight be-
tween Hurley and Huston, who was
escorting the woman home. The case
was appealed.

Successful Work of the Manual Train

Pittsburg, Kas.. June THE first
class to graduate from the Kansas
Manual Training Normal school re-
ceived diplomas at the close of the
most novel and interesting com
mencement exercises ever held here.
Instead of the usual series of orations
that are generally indispensable to a
commencement, the exercises consist
ed of interesting and practical dem
onstrations of work done in the nor
NAL. Demonstra tons of cookery,
wood working and domestic science
and art were given from the platform
and the graduates showed the large
audience how to teach cookery, sew
ing, wood working, etc. The gradual
ing class consisted of ten young ladies,
all of whom expect to engage in
teaching manual training and do
nestle science, and all of whom have
previously been engaged in teaching,
and gave up schools to spend the past
year taking finishing work in the

Troubles at Cripple Creek-the

of violence.

Business at StandstiU.

Victor, June Mayor French
said today that in his opinion no more
troops are needed here.
Company L, now on duty, consists
of 60 men," he said, "and the number
can be increased to 100 if necessary.
Besides these soldiers, we have 100
armed deputies. The civil authorities
have perfect mastery of the situation.
Should the military turn over their
prisoners to the civil authorities there
viii be no lynching"
However, feeling is strong against
Alf Miller, who is said to have started
the rioting here, former City Marshal
Michael O'Connell, by whom, it is as
people in the streets from the union
hall had been sworn in as deputies
and armed, and Harvey Starbuck for
mer marshal of Independence. Every
person in the district has taken sides
with one faction or the other here and
nobody would be surprised should
Tioting break out anew at any mo-
ment.
1.-The Western Federation of Miners
will be banished from the district"
declare the mine owners. "It has not
been proven that the dynamiting was
done by the federation" retOrt union
men; 1--WE have a right to organize and
to remain here"
Both sides express a determination
TO fight to the bitter end. Business is
conditions in Cripple Greek are little,
II any better. All saloons are closed
by order of the authorities. Many
merchants have closed their stores and
all who can are doubling or trebling
their insurance.

Denver, June While early reports
today from Victor and Cripple Creek
indicate that semi-peaceful conditions
prevailed, fears of another outbreak at
any moment are general. Throughout
the night squads of citizens, reinforced
by details of the militia travelled over
the district making arrests until now
the bull pen is filed with 200 prisoners.
The city marshals of Anaconda, Gold
field and Independence are among the
prisoners. Together with the city mar
shall of Victor and the sheriff of Teller
county this makes a total Of five Off
Gals of the gold camp towns who have
been deposed since the troubles of yes
terday began.
Adjutant General Bell remained in his
Office at the capitol here until a late
hour last night expecting reports from
the troops from Cripple Creek, but none
came. The fact that Sheriff Bell, the
successor of the Teller county official.
has expressed a determination to hold
the town without the aid of troops. give
assurance to many that the citizens of
the camp have offered him all the as
sistanee necessary to meet the condi-
tions and that the trouble will be
brought to an end by such a show of
pluck.
