There can, therefore, be no doubt as
to the efficacy of Maj. Ross system.
1t would perhaps be somewhat over
sanguine to expect that results similar
to those obtained at Ismailia can In
variably be produced elsewhere. The
conditions under which the expert
ment has been tried at Ismailia are in
fact, exceptionally favorable. Success
can only be insured by careful at
tention to a number of petty details.
Even if it were possible, it would, 1
conceive, generally be Objectionable to
attempt to enforce this attention by
legislative measures, which would al
most certainly involve minute and,
probably, vexatious Interference on the
part of officials with the household ar
engagements of each family and in

everything will depend on the effective
and voluntary cooperation of the

and influence of the Suez Canal Com

the work of securing this cooperation,

Postoffice Department VIII Adopt
Purificatton Scheme,

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In connec-
ton with the decision of the Postoffice
Department to take steps to eliminate
Objectionable patent medicine and
other advertisements from the news
papers, as announced some weeks ago,
it was stated today that all these
cases would be taken up individually
on their merits. Each case will be
considered carefully by the law Off
GERS of the department, and when the
cases are found to involve violations
of the law governing such matters the
American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION will be notified. That body,
according to the present plan, is to
notify all of it's papers who are MEM
bers of the organization that the adj
vertisement is contrary to law.
The papers that are not represented
in the publishers association will be
notified directly by the department,
and whenever papers so notified re-
fuse to eliminate the Objectionable
matter the Postoffice Department will
exclude them from the mails.
The question of the contracts that
the concerns making the advertise
ments may have with the publishers
has been considered, and it is asserted
that such contracts, being for matter
that is in violation of the law, could |
not operate in any way to obstruct |
the carrying out of the Postofice De-
partment's plans.

REMARKABLE
PROOF THIS
That the Mosquito
Pest Can Be
Killed.
Fever Almost Wiped Out
At lsmaiIia In
Egypt.
Costly Sanitary Measures Failed
Until Mosquitoes We're
Abolished.
(From the Boston Herald.)

To the Editor of The Herald:
In the report of Lord Crorner on the
subject of matters of interest to the
British government in the affairs of
Egypt and the Soudan I find one of
especial interest to many Americans
minds of many as to whether the mos
quito is an active agent in the propa-
gation of malarial fever There is no
such doubt existing in the minds of
the officers connected with the mill
tary service in the Soudan and those
parts of Central Africa which I have
recently visited. Especial efforts have
been successfully made for the elm
ination of these pests in Khartoum,
with practical cessation of malaria
there and to the great comfort of its
population. Were any other data neces-
sary to settle this important question.
it is given in. the portion of Lord
Cromer's report which I append and
which I ask you to print; and to which,
in the interest of suffering humanity, I
also beg you to call especial attention,
with a request that it shall be copied
by the press as extensively as possible.
The astounding fact of the reduction
of cases from 2105 in 1902 to 10 new
cases in 1903 in a place that has been
considered as practically uninhabitable
by foreigners speaks for itself. and it
become too widely known.
DANA ESTES,
Alexandria, Egypt, May 1, 1904.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-06-03

The following is the extract from the
report of Lord Cromer referred to by
Mr.. Estes:
1 wish TO draw public attention to
! the very remarkable hygienic results
which have been obtained at Ismailia
by the application of Maj. Ross's plan
for the destruction of mosquitoes.
| I am indebted to the kindness of
Count de Serionne, the administrator
of the Suez Canal Company's affairs
! in Egypt, for the following very in
! teresting facts:
The town of Ismailia was founded in
! 1862. Public health was in a salts
factory condition until 1877. By that
time, various works had been con-
structed in the nefghborhood of the
town, resulting in considerable in
crease in the area of stagnant water.
An epidemic of fever then broke out;
335 cases occurred in 1877. The disease
became endemic. The average number
of cases in the IA years, from 1884 to
1897 both inclusive, was 100, thus con-
shutting very large proportion of the
total population.
JTp to the end of 1897 the company
had spent about e15,000 on works de-
signed with the intention Of improving
the sanitary condition of the town, be-
sides some $4,000 on medicines, which
were furnished gratuitously to its own
employees. On the advice of a medical
commission, which sat at the close of
1897, further expenditure, amounting to
$4,000, of which a portion was borne by
the Egyptian government, was UNDER
taken. Still, no impression was made
on the fever. The average number
of cases in the five years from 1895 to
1902. both inclusive, was 1900.
In 1902. Prince Gutenberg. the presi-
dent of the Suez Canal Company, in
vited Mai. Ross to visit IsmaiIia and
report on the situation. The result was
that. on the 9th of December. 1902, it
was decided to adopt Maj. Ross sys-
tenn. 1 need not describe that system in
detail 1t is, as is we'll known, based
on the assumption that certain species
of mosquito (the anopheles) are active
agents in the propagation of disease.
Various methods are adopted for pre-
venting these insects from breeding.
Notably. great care has to be aiken TO
obviate the accumulation of stagnant
water.
The following figures. which give
the number of cases of fever which
occurred month by month in 1902 and
1908, respectively, show what very re-
markabIe results have been achieved:

sect pest. The experiment is now
being tried in the quarter of Cairo in
which 1 reside. In order to encourage
other re~idents in Egypt to follow the
example of my neighbors and myself,
I may mention that l am informed
that it has become possible to dispense
with mosquito curtains at Ismailia.

Walton Announces Ready
 For His Surrender
4 FRIEND, JUST ARRIVED IN TOWN, STATES HE IS NOT
 FAR FROM cos.
Was Scared Into the Interior of Mexico By the Appearance of Two Armed Men at Cos Shortly After Shooting Hffray.

Douglas. May 4-There is a likeli- hood that within the next week Baylor Walton, the slayer of Corson, who has been at liberty since the night of the tragedy in the White House saloon in this city. will give himself up and stand his trial by jury of his peers.
 A friend of Walton's, just up from Cos. states that he is located not over a hundred miles from that point, and gives reasons why Walton had not De- fore surrendered.
 It seems that on the Tuesday night following the Saturday of the shoot ing Walton was in Cos That night the town was visited by two men on horse back, armed with Winchesters. who spent the entire night circling around the town, but would hold con. versation with no one, although Wal ton sent several men to find out what the men wanted Walton drew the very natural inference that the armed men were either rangers or rurales on his trail, and under the impression that the pursuit was getting desperate and that sentiment was highly wrought up here, he left Cos the next day Be lore leaving, however ne wrote let ter to his father explaining the trou- ble he was in, claiming that he was justified in what he did, and express ing a willingness to surrender himself if he was convinced he could get pro lection and a fair trial. It was the receipt of this letter upon his arrival here that, caused the elder Walton, on the occasion of his visit to Douglas to make the trip to Cos, but by that time the fugitive had betaken himself else where. and the father was unable 10 locate him.
 The friend in question has since for warded to Walton copies of the local papers, as evidencing the state of public feeling here, and letters from his father and others, all advising him to come in and stand his trial. He states that Walton has determined to surrender himself in the near future.

Douglas, May 4.-G. c. King, the teamster, whose troubles with the Mexican custom officials over trying to fill a contract for hauling dirt from Agua Prieta to this city, and which re- suited in his being taken into custody by the Mexican authorities, is still in the tolls.
 An arrangement has been effected by which King and his team were to be released on $500 bond. but some of his friends. after a talk with r. San doval, the Nogales banker, who is in the city, concluded this was not the best way out of the difficulty. As MT. Sandoyal pointed out, Kings re- lease on bond would simply mean that the case would drag along for year or more before it was finally adjusted As a better plan, Mir. Sancoyal agreed to take the matter up with the Mexi- can department of the interior, and use his personal influence to have the matter settled forthwith by order of the federal government.
 In the meantime King and his horses will remain in hoe" But some people on this side of the line are wondering how much risk they run when they drive to Agua Prieta in a buggy
