Much Abused Concerned.

Chicago. THE annual meeting of
the stockholders of Swift & Co, here
was attended by number of Eastern
capitalists. In an address to the stock
holders, President L. F. Swift, said:
cit is needless for me to say to
those present who are more or less
familiar with the facts that the re-
ports in circulation about the beef
trust are without foundation. There
is absolutely no conspiracy or combi
nation to control prices of live stock
the sale of meats or packing house
products.

Japanese Losses.

Chefoo-The statement Of the cen-

with Gen. Nogi's army, that the Jap
anese lost only $4,000 men in taking
Port Arthur, is declared to be absurd,
by Russian naval officers here.
Their lowest estimate, they say, bas-

BILL TO CARE FOR LEPERS
Campaign to Eradicate at Home and
In HHawaii-$a55,ee6 to Be Appro-
priated for the Purpose.

Washington. n.-The Public Health
Bureau is making preliminary ar
rangements to care for the lepers in
this country and In Hawaii. Surgeon
General Wyman has prepared two bill
which Congressman Hepburn has III
trodueed iii the House, and if they
become laws the government will un-
dertake to stamp out the disease both
here and Id tie Hawaiian Islands.
One of the bills provides for the al
lotment of an abandoned military or
naval reservation at some suitable site
where hospitals and other buildings
are to be erected, $25O,OO0 being ap-
propriated for this purpose. There
! shall be received into this leprosarium
any leper presenting himself or her
self for treatment, or any leper con-
signed to its care by the legally con-
stituted authorities of any state,
county or municipality. In order to
bar out the horde of lepers from the
Philippine and Hawaiian Islands, it is
provided that no one shall be received
into this leprosarium from without
the continental borders of the United
States. The second bill provides for
the erection of hospitals for the care
of lepers on reservation at Molokai.
Hawaii, after the authorities there
shall have ceded to our government in
perpetuity a suitable tract of land one
mile square.
1t is a notorious fact that leprosy
is prevalent in this country to a con-
siderable extent. Government agents
have made inquiries into the subject
and they all report that the disease
is to be found in almost every city
of the United States. Relatives and
friends of the diseased persons hide
and protect them, fearing that they
will be removed to pesthouses for
treatA1ent. General Wyman, the head
of the Bureau of Public Health, thinks
it is highly important thhat means be
provided for segregating lepers and
prevea ing the spread of the disease.

to carry on experiments as to cold

and the rapidity of the Development OF

Hicks March Weather.

A sudden high barometer with quick
and severe change to boreal winds and
| blzzardous conditions may result in the
northern sections on and about the 9TH,
but a rapid reaction to warmer will set
in about the 7th, followed by falling ba-
rOmeter from western extremes, ending
in general storms of rain, sleet and snow
| during the Vulcan storm period extend
| ing from the 7th TO the 18th Severe
| boreal storms with March cold wave
| need not surprise any one from about
| the 18th to the Nth.
| It must be remembered that the YER
nal equinoctial period extends over all
this month. and that storm conditions
may arise at almost any time even out
side of the regular storm periods. But
the most pronounced and general dis
turbances will arise, and reach their cul-
minating climaxes, during these regular
periods. The 18th to the 18th will bring
marked storm period, eliminating in
low barometer, rising temperature and
general storm conditions.
The indications are that tropical
storms and hurricanes will reach the ex-
IRENE parts of our south country about
the 10Th to 22nd, nota bly, on and touch
ing the Dist, and that rain and high
winds, turning to snow and cold for
the season, will meet the tropical, equa-
torial storms from the northwest A Sc
we're March blizzard over much of the
country northward, is among the proba,
bilities at this period.
A reactionary storm period will be
central on the 9th, 28th and Goth. At
this time the temperature will rise de-
cidedly, the barometer will fall progress
sively from west to east, and general
storms of rain and wind, turning to snow
in the north, will pass eastwardly across
the country, and followed by another
decided rise of the barometer, north
westerly winds and much colder.
The public should keep in mind the
possibilities of disastrous floods during
the month of March. The month will
not bring maximum of cold, but much
precipitation in the form of rain, sleet or
snow will occur, with disagreeable fuct-
uations of temperature, an unsteady
