CHAPTER II.

Probably the coolest and certainly the
wettest spot in Bombay on any hot after
noon in the tumble down, old bath house at
tached to the staf quarters of the Byculla
College Hospital Big banana palms tower
around and over its dark verandas, and
there's a musical drip. drip drip about
the place that's simply maddening after
long session in the stuffy class rooms Five
minutes after lectures every tub has it's
occupant. while around and about the wet
bricked floors dance the less fortunate in
the race Tor place, some In cllnSinS pa
jamas. most in natures bun-albeit the
bum often merges into brown-and on them
all the grinning bheestees play the hose
and drive back with water and towels the
swarming mosquitoes These same mos
quitoes are the. dread guardians of this
enchanted spot They are born, and live,
and die by the million under the cool, dark
bananas, and the shrlll music of their
choruses rises and falls increasingly with
the rhythmic strain of the dripping water.
A professor of hygiene, after visiting the
bath house, gave special on it in his
class room, with the result that orders went
forth for the cutting down of the banana
palms and the replacing of the old melo-
dious water pipes with brand new zinc
affairs that wouldn't drip. Various other
changes of a like nature were to be made,
but the proposed innovations raised such a
howl of protest from the students that
their right to entertain the shade and the
drip and the mosquitoes was Immediately
ceded. and the mosquitoes showed their
gratitude by thriving and multiplying and
growing to a size and intelligence unsur-
passed in any other spot in the presidency.
Of course it, was all very we'll to dash in
with your following of bheestees, with
flying towels and Streams of water. but to
sneak down there alone was different
matter. You generally managed to arrive
at your tub and get the tap of your particu-
lar water pipe turned with nothing
worse than a, skirrpsh with the videttes;
but when youskwanted to get out you had to
run the gauntlet of whole battalions of the
pests, and it Wassno uncommon sight to
see naked figure flying wildly for the
bungalow, followed and surrounded by a
clamoring swarm of insects.

President Escalon has pleasant recolIec-
tons of the years past in the United States,
and, moreover, "a thorough understanding
of it's public affairs and it policies. His talk
of his own country was Instructive, for he
knows it even better than a book. Though
small it still has resources to develop and
viii support the million population which in
a few years will result from the natural in
crease, and possibly in small way from
immigration. Foreigners, he said, always
would be welcome, and he pointed out how
we'll most of them now in the country had
done. Though the extent of territory is
small the republic has plans for further ma

improvements, railway building and the

President Escalon spoke with frankness Of
the two prime requisites for Strengthening
the credit OF his country. These were in
ternal peace and external peace. He was
gratified to learn from me the good things
had heard said of Salvador because they
were a recognition of the condition which
1t was sought to obtain. Progress had to
be gradual but 1t was genuine, and step by
step domestic stability was being establish
ed. AS the external peace, that, too, was
becoming more assured. 1t was the fixed
policy of Salvador which now is dwelling
in harmony and in good will toward its
neighbors.
My own opinion is that this policy will
continue to be a fixed one. Salvador Is a
tidy little republic, and can keep It's house
in good order. CHARLES M. PEPPER.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
SAN SALVADOR. January 4. 1904.
Salvador is the Rhode Island of Central
America In area and population it bears
the relation that Little Rhody" does to

and aggressive little commonwealth.
The name of the republic is lei Saliva

is San Salvador, st. Savior.
Geographical knowledge is not wide
spread enough in the United States to
justify the omission TO state that it is the
only one Of the Central American countries
which does not border both on the Atlantic
and the Pacific. Sa!Yadors territory is all
on the Pacific coast, and it does not extend
very far inland. Therefore the country
might he called maritime power, though
il has no navy. 1t is real power among

good ranches and hides are exported, yet

To the President and Board of Fire Com

On account of the conditions that

Mr.. Percy w. Parker representing the
insurance companies, was present and
stated that the values carried by the
insurance companies at South st. Paul
are very large; the fre-fghting force
there is materially reduced by the men
going. out; the risk is very great under
the circumstances surrounding the strike
He therefore asked that a company of
firemen be sent to South st. Paul to help
man the apparatus.
After fully considering the matter the
board on motion of Commissioner
Schweizer voted to deny the above re-
quests at this time. as the present con-
ditions existing there do not warrant such
an action, but should a fire occur at
South St. Paul the usual eourtesies in
the way of aid from this department will
be granted
