HEALTH REFORM MOVE.

fectlon OF food products thru imper-

other for d commission to draft leg

Sanitary Science, While the two
measures are entirely different in their
scope they are Indirectly related, as
both originated with and will later be
pushed by those interested In stamp
ing out the white plague" and other
infectious diseases.
Investigations by boards OF health
show a deplprable lack OF. statistics
on the subject of the communication
of diseases by inhalation, and, after
much deliberation it was decided to
ask congress to refer the whole mat
ter to the surgeon general Of the mar
inc hospital service. While it was re-
allied that nothing could be accom-
plished at the recent session OF con-
gress, 1t was believed best to bring
the matter more directly to the atten-
ton of the public and excite such fa-
yoaable comment as would insure Its
passage next session.

MukDEN AN IMPORTANT CITY.
Capital Of Manchuria With PopuIar
ton of 250,000 Before War.

Mukden, now in the hands of the
Japanese, is the capital of Manchuria
and OF the province of Shingking. II
is an important city on the railroad
connecting Hardin with Port Arthur
and is on a fertile plain Ito miles
northeast of Newchwang.
It's population before the war was
estimated at 250,O00, but now it is be-
deserted it after the Russians made it
their headquarters last August and
September, following the battle OF Lao
yang.
Mukden suffered severely in the box
er uprising. A huge brick wall sur
rounds the city which is solidly and
regularly built 1t contains a number
of large stores run by thrifty China
men, who have reaped a harvest since
the Russian occupation.
Imperial Tonbs Near City.
Near the city outside the walls are
the tonbs Of the ancestors of the pres
ent reigning families in China. These
tombs and the ancient temples near
them are looked upon as especially sac
red. They have been respected by
the Russians and the japanese under
the orders of Oyama, who will see that
they are not molested.
Tieling, or Tie pass, is approx
mately thirty-f five miles north of Muk-
den. 1t is a station on the Harbin-
Port Arthur branch of Trans Siberian
railroad which runs just west of the
old highway traversing Manchuria
from north ito south. Between Tie
ling and Mukden are several small sta
tions and villages, the most important
of which is Yillu. To the east of the
highway and railroad are hills and
mountains of considerable size, while
toward the west is a continuation of
the Mukden plain.
Lao River Near Telling.
The Liao river, the largest stream
in Manchuria, comes close to Telling
on the west and receives number OF
branches flowing down from the east
ern hills. One of them is named on the
maps the Sha river. A second Sha
river flowers into the Lao at or just

DISCUSS RAILWAY RATES.
Judge Grosscup Sees Menace in tho
Rate Cry. p


Boston. Mass, March II. = "The
Presidents Railroad Policy" was the
general subject of discussion at the
dinner of the Economic Club of Bos-
ton last night. The principal speak
ers were Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of
Chicago; President David Wilcox OF
the Delaware and Hudson River Rail
road Company, and Interstate Conn
merce Commissioners Prouty. Each
commented at length upon President
Roosevelt's views regarding the regu-
lation Of interstate commerce rates.
Expert Knowledge Necessary.
Prouty defended the proposed ma
tional legislation and referring to the
criticism that Legislators were not al=
ways competent business men, said
that while a certain amount Of ex-
pert knowledge was necessary in the
proper regulation of railroad tariffs
the questions to be decided thru re-
quiring good judgment were not diff
cult of comprehension to one habitual-
ly engaged in hearing them.
Wilcox vigorously opposed interfer-
ence Of the government in the rate
question, and declared 1T impossible
for the small pOdy OF men at WdSH-
ington to properly dictate what the
railroad rates of the country should
be. The remedy for existing evils lay,
he said, in a thorough enforcement
of the present statutes.
Judge Grosscup Talks.
Judge Grosscup said that he saw
serious danger in the whole question
unles it was handled delicately not
only by President Roosevelt but by the
railroad men.
The latter, he said, while insisting
that there should be no confiscation of
their property or supervision, that in
the long run would amount to con-
fiscation, should join with the presi-
dent in establishing a tribunal thru
which the nations power could be
honestly exercised.

of Fushun. Immediately south OF
Mukden the Japs reached the head

CONDITIONS PROMISING.
Moro seasonable Weather Produces
Enhancement in Distribution.

New York, March 11.-R. q. Dun, in
his weekly review Of trade says:
Confidence has become more general
thru the resumption of outdoor work
the opening of the spring trade and
the expectation that the war will soon
terminate. Weather conditions are fav-
orable in most sections Of the country
and there is little interruption because
of labor controversies.
The most gratifying news of the
week emanates from the iron and steel
Industry. where an unprecedented out
put of pig iron is not productive OF
accumulated stocks. Other leading
manufacturing operations are making
steady progress, altho larger orders
would be welcomed by the cotton mills
and shoe shops. Commodities are all
in good demand Dun's index number
advancing slightly to $1O1,932 on March
1. against s101,042 for the month pre-
vious which indicates that the people
are consuming freely.
This is also shown by the large In
crease in merchandise imported Of late
although for the last week there was
decrease Of $2.964,22s as compared with
last year. Exports gained $42,O71. .Sl3
Railway earnings for February were
only 40 per cent smaller than in 1904
Mercantile settlements thruout the
country are steadily improving.
Failures this week were 244 in the
United States as against 259 last year
Merchandise Movement Expands.
Bradstreet's today says:
Merchandise movement in practically
all sections has expanded considerably
and preparations for an active build
ing season are reflected in the market
for material and iron and steel and
allied industries report keen demand
and unprecedented consumption fol
this season. Collections lag, except. al
a few western points which report i'm
provement. Money is phenomenally
easy.
Weather conditions. of course. are
the handspring of the improved inquiry
noted. Higher temperatures and freer
movement are alike responsible for the
growing easy of prices of most coun-
try produce. No dininution in the
hitherto existing confidence regarding
the outlook for the years trade is WIS.,
ible and as an immense turnover at
profitable rates is evidently expected.
