nearly every structure in that quarter had been burned. subsequently
suits were brought against the government because of its action,
but the plague itself was stamped out. The contagon appeared at
Sydney, New South Wales, during the same year and up to April 9
there were twenty-nine deaths from it. There were also two deaths
i'll Queensland, but the only place in Australia in which the disease
reached the epidemic form was at Sydney. Rio Janeiro had sixty
nine plague cases the same year. In Glasgow there were seven
deaths and there was also an outbreak at Lisbon.
Happily the united efforts of the governments of America and
Europe prevented any serious spread of the pestilence, but III every
city in which a case of bubonic plague was reported there was dismay
and alarm. For this apprehension there was very good reason. Dur
ing the plague epidemic in India, which began in 1896, there were
10000 deaths i'll three years and it was only after persistent fighting
that the disease was ultimately extirpatcd.
SO menacing was the situation that physicians and scientists OF
Europe and Japan gave it special attention, while the United States
dispatched medical officers to every infected point. Though stamped
out at Bombay the plague continued its ravages i'll other parts OF
India and at several points in China. While it is not surprising that
bubonic plague has reached Panama it will be surprising indeed If
it IS permitted to gain a foothold there.
The situation at Panama is decidedly more favorable for a sue
cessful crusade against the scourge than was that at Honolulu or
San Francisco in 1000. Every commercial nation in the world is
vitality concerned in freeing the transit route across the isthmus from
this pcstilence and it is safe to say that vigorous and effective meas
ures in that direction will be promptly taken.

ArERICA'S GAIN BY THE PEACE.

There is little doubt that the peace of Portsmouth will be speedily
followed by an enhancement Of American influence and an extension
against American products at Shanghai and that she has bought the
Hankow railroad from ]. Perpont Morgan. Nevertheless, the
Chinese situation is not as serious for the United States as it appears
on the surface. This country made large gains in exports to China
during the fiscal year of 1905 as compared with 1900. During part of
that year the Boycott was actually in operation, but there are cheering
indications that it will soon be lifted.
1t is a reasonably safe assumption, therefore, that our exports
to China for the fiscal year of 1906, two months of which have already
expired, will be larger than in 1904, though they may not reach the
total of 1905. It is absolutely certain that American trade with the
vast empire will grow. We are able to furnish her at lower prices
than at which she can obtain them elsewhere goods that China needs.
Since the boycott began Chinese consumers have found this out for
themselves.
In our trade with Japan, as well as with China, we possess
physical and economic advantages not enjoyed by any nation in
Europe China must soon adopt the gold standard because though
perhaps unwillngly Japan will force her to do so, and it is to this
country she must look for the greater part of the gold with which to
make the change. COrea and Manchuria, both under Japanese dorni-
nation, will offer a steadily and rapidly expanding market for Aneri-
can products. Particularly wide open will be the open door in both
countries to commodities from the United States.
Japan quite as much as China will require aid from this republic
and she Is already turning to Wall street to procure the supply Of
money she needs for repairing the waste of the war and to assist in
the readjustment and extension Of her industries which peace makes
imperative. 1t was from America Japan obtained a large part of the
money needed in the prosecution of the war and it is from the same
source her requirements in peace will be supplied.
Russia, too, in urgent need of financial aid, is also looking to
American bankers to provide it. Her war OUTLAWS have been enor-
NOUS and her expenditures are by no means at a end. BY the con-
fict in which she suffered such grievous defeat her industries have
been almost paralyzed and it will require large sums to rehabiltate
them. Then, too, she must go to great expense to strengthen her
position in that part of Asia that still remains her own. Siberian
development, long interrupted, will now be renewed and in this there
will be afforded splendid opportunities fer a large extension of
American trade.
Another result of the peace of Portsmouth will be the enlarge
nent of American influence in Japan, Russia and China. That Ameri-
can commercial and social dominance, of which Benton and Seward
dreamed in bygone years, is UNNECESSARILY nearer realization than it
was nineteen months ago, when Togos guns at Port Arthur pro-
claimed to the world the beginning of a bloody struggle.

BUBONIC PLAGUE AT PANArIA.

AS II the other difficulties that confront it are not serious enough,
the Panama canal commission must now, it seems, deal with an out
break ct bubonic plague in the canal zone. While the appearance Of
this deadly disease will undoubtedly interfere with work o. the
isthmus, it would seem it ought to be as successfully controlled there
as it was at San Francisco and Honolulu half a decade ago From
the report OF the surgeon general it is learned that bubonic plague
secured its first lodgment in the western hemisphere al Santos. Brazil
in October, 1899. In the following month cases Of the disease were
carried to New York, but they were all confined to the ships that
brought them.
On May II, 1900, it was reported that six deaths from plague
had occurred in the Chinese quarter at San Francisco and a riyid
quarantine was Immediately established. While differences OF opin-
ion existed as to its character the disease itself was not permitted to
spread. The accepted theory was that the plague reached San Fran
cisco from Honolulu, where it had appeared in 1909 1t was shown
by an investigation instituted for the purpose that the plague was
brought to Honolulu from China. and rigorous measures were taken
to root il out.
These measures included the destruction by fire Of all infected
buildings in the Chinese section and before the week was finished
