North Sea RumOrs Disturb
English Newspapers.
LOSES EVEN IF SHE WINS
Assertions Mad. That Russia Is to
Lead Great Britain by
the Nose.

LONDON, Dec 19.-All the old talk
about che International inquiry into the
North Sea affair being a farce has been
revived IN the British press since the
announcement that the first meeting OF
the International commission VIII take
place at II a. m. tomorrow.
There seems to be well-defined opln-
Ion that Russians win manage TO nose
lead the majority of the members OF
the commissions, and that the pro-Brit-
ish representa- lives will not, 10 any con
siderable extent, oppose the process OF
further humilidting the British govern
ment.
Several Influential newspapers point
out that. Judging from the previous de
velopments I'm the case, Great Britain
viii be the loser. even if the findings
of the commission should be favorable
to her.
TIE hope that. In that event, the COM
mission would make use OF the latitude
given il under the terms of the Anglo
Russian convention has long been aDan-
doned and II now stands out as rea-
sonable prediction that not a single one
OF the Russian officers really responsible
FOR the Dogger Bank outrage viii be
punished according 10 his deserts.
According 20 advices received from
Paris. French diplomats hold similar
opinions. Great Britain's backdOWn has
been q source of much satisfaction ia
France from the very first and there
are few among the men of affairs in the
French capital who believe that the
British government viii take the slight
est chance OF Feyiviug the danger of

Gently made ia some of the London
papers, TO the effect that "a war would
entail upon Russia no loss worth speak
ing of, while Great Britain would be in
imminent danger of becoming plunge

commented upon at length BY the
French press. Some OF the cOmmenta-
tors stOutly insist that the statements
were inspired By the British govern

Tho Surgeon General Public Health

that at the close Of the last week there

On March Is, 1904, the last case of yell
low fever was reported i'm this country.
This was one of the six cases reported
from LAREDO, Tex, for the six months
ended july !. 1891. None Of these cases
resulted in death
Ia 1900, there We're ISL deaths IN the
United States from yellow fever. So
far this year there has not been a
single death from the dread disease.
This reduction in the list OF mortali-
ties for yellow fever is due almost en-
tlrely 10 the perfect quarantine main
tanned by the Public Health aud Marine
Hospital Service inspectors. II would be
almost an absolute impossibilltv for a
person with yellow fever TO get into the

Imported From Mexico.

One OF the six eases reported from
Laredo, was imported from Minerva,
Mexico. The patient in this particular
incident slipped over the line by a coun-
try road and was not examined by the
inspectors.
When shin comes TO this country
from a port where there is yellow fever,
ri IS placed IN quarantine until thor
oughly examined and disiufected
To the splendid work of the health Of
ficers IS entirely due the fact that at
the present time there is no yellow fever
IN the United States.
Yellow fever IN this country IS as fatal
as plague ia the Eastern countries
I While the people of the United States
are Iasting free from fear Of yellow
fever, the people of India and other
Eastern countries are IN the full grasp
OF the plague.
In the Bombay presidency alone in
/ India there were l09115 deaths from
plague during the months OF June, July
August, September and October There
were a total OF I38 Dos cases. and over
three-fuurths of these resulted IN death
The plague has been steadily increas-
ing. In this district during October there
were 55.sSf cases reported. OF this num-
Der 42.3sl, or over 50 per cent. resulted
in death.
Since the plague broke out about nine
i'm the Bombay district and Lz15, 100
deaths
II is safe 10 say that if India was
protected against plague as the United
States Is against yellow fever. the
disease would ultimately disappear
