Treasury business between the Balti-

that this has nothing to do with the

A report of considerable interest
to sugar makers has just come to The
state department from Consular Agent
King, stationed at Lille, France, de-
scribing the use Of redo, neutral,
conservable hydrosulphite of calcium
in refining. Employed alone, says
Mr.. King, "redo not only affects an
economy in expenses and manipulation
but clarifies very perfectly and dimin-
ishes the reproduction of molasses
The action Of redo appears to be SO
effective that the experiments are be-
ing made with a view to simplifying
the series of operations now followed
out in sugar making. At Lille, Bor-
deaux and Barcelona sugar-makers,
owing to effectiveness of redo, have
practically suppressed the operation
of dosing at the second carbonation.

PORTSMOUTH, N. a.; Aug. ct seems

This idea is based on the belief that the

that the Russians plenipotentiaries will
decline absolutely to consider them until

CHICAGOS LID ON TIGHT.
Fifty Detectives Rush About. but lind No
Gambling.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Fifty picked detectives,
formed into a flying squadron, secured
Chicago for seven hours last night and this
morning. They began at p. M. and did
not finish until 2 A. NJ. They found the
lid on tight. Gambling houses and pool
rooms were deserted. Levee saloon-
keepers were on their good behavior and
offered the courtesies Of guide over their
establishments. The thugs and hold-up
men operated only in spots, far from the
sound OF the squadron's dashing move
ments. 1t was Colllnss eleventh day and
lawbreakers apparently had decided he
was In earnest.
The squadrons, divided into sets Of
four or five men each in charge Of an
experienced sergeant, made dashes through
the south, north, west and northwest dis
tricts looking for whom they might seize.
Their catch was not impressive. Swift
descents were made on the resorts, but
empty chairs and tables covered with a
weeks accumulation of dust confronted the
disappointed detectives. One squad, in an
excess of zeal, confiscated lot Of chairs and
greencovered tables at 112 Madison street,
but the others were contented to report
that the games for the present were closed.

OUR CANAL THREATENS ASIA,
Says Sir Patrick Manson, Unless Yellow
Fever There IL Overcome.

Sir Patrick Manson, who Is at the head o
the London School OF Tropical Medicine
and medical adviser to the British Colonial
Office, Is at the Holland House here, on hii
way to San Francisco to deliver the Lane
lectures before the Cooper Medical College
In that city.
Sir Patrick Is the discovere OF the trans.
mission Of malaria by the mosquito, and Is
regarded as an expert In England on mos
quito transmission Of diseases. He Is
fever situation in New Orleans.
'The discovery Of the mosquito origin
OF yellow fever" said he yesterday, swas
a splendid piece of work. II your people
only had faith in 1t and act on 1t, there need
in a few years be no fear Of yellow fever.
The diagnosis Of yellow fever and malaria
fever is very mu CHI the same. and 1t is diff
cult to tell one from the other, but a man
who knows how to Use his microscope can
distinguish them. To avoid both yellow
fever and malaria, don't get bitten by mos
quitoes. We avoid 1t by using common
sense. We can also get rid Of those mos
quitoes eventually by common sense.
@The Panama situation Is the biggest
medical problem Of the age. 1t Is not a
question Of Kidding the place Of mosquitoes
and making it as healthy as possible just
while the canal is being built. 1t is far
bigger question than that. When the canal
is completed the current Of commerce will
be changed and unless permanent measures
are taken there will be great danger Of
introducing yellow fever into Asia. Yellow
fever in Asia Is absolutely unknown, but
all the conditions are there. The world
would shudder at the consequences.
This is the greatest load Of RESPONSE
bility placed on the shoulders OF tn Q United
States. One thing should be done at once;
make the concealment Of yellow fever 4
crime and punish as such.
whether the epidemic in New Orleans
can be stained out speedily depends upon
the honesty and intelligence of the people
who are ip charge. II cases are reported
as soon as hey occur then the authorities
can act efficiently
