II have no doubt that large quantities
OF dyestuffs are dumped into the river
every week I'm order TO increase the pur-
chases OF agents and thus fatten up the
commissions OF certain dyers or buyers
II is to prevent this sort OF thing con-
tinuing, and also 20 stop the subsidizing
OF servants by grocers and other trades

When 1t caught fire 1t went like finder

was one conspicuous case OF Inadequate

Theater Though brand new, 1t was per-
haps the worst possible example of con-
struction and administration. Yet 1t was

shown by the subsequent Inspections and

There have been wharf fires In and near
New York in such numbers that the les

a standing bid for disaster. But owners
continue to put up to keep standing

tended belief that they are fire proof
while they should know that when burn

of riverside fire, the heat Is so great that
the flames must inevitably spread to The
shore We have much to learn from Europe
In the matter of waterfront construction.
1t would be well for the United States to
be thoroughly represented at the Milan

federal, state and municipal authorities to
make the best use of the lessons there to
be learned In the business of fire preven-
ton. which Is infinitely more to be de-

Rosen on the Russian side. although both
he and M. Witte speak French fiuently.
as indeed do all educated Russians. Con-
sequently 1t was impossible to adopt Eng
lish as the officia1 language OF the con-
ference without requiring NJ. Witte to em-
ploy an Interpreter Therefore the decision
was reached that inasmuch as an inter-
prefer would be necessary In any case for
at least one member of the circle, 1t would
be proper to give each envoy the privilege
of speaking In whatever tongue suited him
best. Thus there will be plenty of work
for the translators. The official proceed
ings will be written in both English and
French. In this way the two sides will be
accommodated with records which will be
Ineligible. 1t is probable that there will
be much more English spoken around the
table than any other language, fnasmuch
as three of the ENJOYS can communicate

or treaty will be drawn up In French. max
ing that language in the last test the
official tongue of the peace meeting. 1t is
generally believed by those acquainted with
the drift of international affairs that Eng
lish is the future speech OF diplomacy, this
belief being strengthened by the advent
of the Japanese into the world field in
circumstances which assure them an i'm
portant part In the adjustment Of affairs.
The Japanese do not take kindly to French,
finding English better suited to their pecu-
liar needs and limitations.

City House Cleaning.

New Orleans is having such cleaning up
tine as it probably never experienced be-
fore. Hundreds of tons of debris, refuse
and filth have been scraped together and
carted off to proper places of disposal.
Obeying the call of the authorities the citi-
zen5 have started in vigorously to do their
duty and the city is probably fifty per cent
better off from a sanitary point of view
than Ii was before. II is immeasurably
safer from visitations of general diseases,
whatever may be the effect upon the yell
low fever outbreak
1t is amazing that people will continue
to live in these advanced days of accurate
scientific knowledge III the midst of air.
polluting refuse. The vital value of clean
lii ess Is a modern lesson, but 1t would
seem to have been well and thoroughly
taught in every large community by re-
peated outbreaks of pestlence traceable
directly to slovenly habits. The astonish-
ing part of 1t all is. from the standpoint of
the sanitarian that the people require to
be stirred by the menace of death to the
performance Of that duty which common
decency would seem urgently to require.
There are places In this city that sorely
need the attention of the health authorities
and the police. yards that are piled high
Win routing refuse, cellars reeRlng with
dampness and choked with foul messes.
These are private premises" but they
are none the less public nuisances, and it
would be stroke of good administration
for the Commissioners to order thorough
inspection Of all buildings in search OF
breeding places for bacteria and bad odors
1t is unsafe to wait until disease actually
begins to spread or until the emanations
from such refuse become actually an Of
ferse to neighbors There are so many in
dividual standards of what constitutes
cleanliness tfat the safest course is for the
central authorities to take charge them
selves and ascertain by direct examination
whether there are any houses or yards in
condition calculated to lower the city's
sanitary tone.

Judge Lewis.

In resigning his federal Office upon ac-
cepting the republican nomination for gov
ernor of Virginia Judge Lewis has acted
we'll and wisely. The step is approvable
on the score of both propriety and good
politics. 1t puts him squaTely before the
people on his merits and clears the cam
paign Of all talk about federal patronage.
NO member OF the ticket which Judge
Lewis heads is a federal oi@.ce holder.
Washington pie" therefore, Is not an issue,
ana cannot be made one. The Roanoke
platform. 1t should be added, is a well-ex-
pressed paper. and contains everything
necessary FOR supplying sound texts for a
thorough canvass of the state. Judge
Lewis is reputed to be a good speaker,
and If he should challenge his opponent TO
series of joint debates the people of the
Old Dominion will enjoy feast of rivalry
and a flow OF politics

Fever at New Orleans.

From American Meolclhe.
In the present epidemic at New Orleans
yellow fever is making perhaps its last seri-
Gus demonstration on American soil. Strick-
en- with pestilence and harassed on all sides
by the ignorant and british fright OF her
neighbors, the misfortune Of New Orleans
is indeed deplorable. Yet 1t is not unkind
to say that If nothing less than great
object lesson will suffice to quell the stupid
panic and to prove the suficiency of mod
ern knowledge concerning yellow fever.
New Orleans is the best place for that
demonstration. The test might have been
made where the lesson is more needed than
in New Orleans, but hardly any city In the
south would put the business through so
well. Most of the weaknesses of American
sanitary organization are exemplified in
New Orleans The most cruel havoc has
been wrought in times past by yellow fever
on that city. Physical conditions are to-
day as favorable as ever for great cpl
demic; the present outbreak has the ad-
vantage of good start; and yet We do not
expect great epidemic. The sufficient ar
mament of New Orleans in the present
emergency Is in the will ard ability of her
people to apply modern medical knowledge
to the suppression of yellow fever. It is
In an enlightened public opinion that New
Orleans is strong. and on this rests our con-
idence that New Orleans will. in delivering
herself from present danger, give the Amer
lean people a convincing lesson In the pro-
phylaxis of yellow fever.

Mr.. WI Heard From.

Mr.. WI Ting-fang enters the plea OF not
guilty in the matter Of the Chinese boycott.
II we may believe him. he did not advise 1t,
nor is he directing its operations In China.
He is entitled to the publication Of his denial.
as the contrary opinion prevails very widely
in this country. The boycott so completely
jibes with the sentiment which Mr.. WI
helped to create in certain quarters on the
subject of the exclusion law while he was
minister here that the moment the new
feature of the controversy appeared 1t was
generally ascribed to that smooth and willy
diplomat.
Mr.. WI, however, confesses to great in
terest In the effort to amend the exclusion
law, and as he did when he was trotting
around the Capitol building here with the
same object in view lays stress On the
rights of the Chinese merchants and stu
dents and high-class travellers who visit the
United States. In insisting that these peo-
pie have been rudely treated at times he
says:
"A superior Chinaman arriving at San
Francisco. for example. is detained by the
authorities while his credentials are being
examined. and this detention frequently IN
wolves conSorting with low class of coolies
in a common shed"
"Consorting with low class Of coolies In
a common she'd for a few hours Is ter
rible thing in Mr.. Wu's eyes. but the men
who want the exclusion law uberalized have
In mind letting the coolies into this country
by the hundreds of thousands and forcing
American citizens to consort with them
constantly.
Putting the merchants and students and
high-class travellers forward In this con-
troversy is a mere trick. The man to be
benefited is the coolie. In recent dispatch
from San Francisco appears this para
graph:
THE experience of the Pacific coast for
the last fifty years has been that the 'mer
chant, student or traveller of today may be
as of those three and before two suns
be at work on a railroad section, ranch, in
a fruit orchard or sweatshop under the or
ders of a padrone. or he will have secured
employment as porter or domestic. 1t Is
a simple matter for him to obtain letter
of credit sufficient money to permit his
lar ding. and after that he returns the letter
and money to his padrone. 1t is this fact
tina: makes the Pacific coast jealous of any
tinkering with the exclusion act"
The exclusion law, to accomplish the OBJ
ject sought. must be rigidly enforced No
body asks that 1t be unfairly enforced. But
all know that the law has repeatedly
been evaded. and that honest officials have
b. reason of that fact had their difficulties
greatly increased. Where worthy Chi
nsnan has been stopped at the frontier ten
thousand unworthy ones, by hook or by
crock, have slipped through.
