IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Sanitary Authorities Proving Them
selves Capable.

From the New York Herald
Tho appearance OF cholera in Manila In
epidemic form Is a matter Of very serious
moment. For the week ending July 4. 119
cases were reported and 80 deaths. The
latest account gives 1875 deaths since the
first appearance Of the plague within the
last ten days. That 1t is liable to spread
there can be no question.
It Is true the health authorities are doing
their best to limit the spread of the mall
ady, but there are heavy odds against
them due to the ignorance of the natives
and their known antagonism to sanitary
regulations. Nothing but the most severe
measures OF control Will seemingly avail.
It Ia not a question as to the methods
to be employed to such an end. but as to
their adoption by the natives.
There is no doubt that the water sup
ply In and around Manila is affected.
Cholera Is always water-borne disease.
Theoretically It is easy to check any cpl
demic OF Its kind when the exact sourcs
of Infection can be determined This has
been exemplified over and over again IN
the prompt arrest Of all the epidemics that
have occurred In different parts OF the
world during the last few years.
The Philippine position. however. IS
more or less complicated one. as the drink
Ing water Is obtained from various sources
OF supply. Still, the health authorities IN
their fight with the epidemic OF last year
in such directions, and after much COM
mendahle effort succeeded eventually in
stamping out the malady
The disease appears this year much
earlier than 1t did in 1905. and the outlook
Is correspondingly grave, as the Climatic
conditions are most favorable for Its spread
The first known case of cholera last year
occurred on August q and the number OF
daily victims increased slowly until 1t
reached maximum Of twenty on
Septembei. g. The present epidemic would
thus appear to be OF much more yiruient
type. requiring the most prompt and radi-
cal measures for It's arrest
There liz much comfort. however, in the
thought that the sanitary authorities are
proving themselves equal to the occasion.
Their educational campaign has borne good
fruit In spite of many obstacles. Every eff
fort has been made to enlighten, persuade
and conciiiate all native officials who have
hitherto opposed salutary regulations The
native priests have co-operated In such
iaudable missionary work and order Is
appearing out Of chaos. The army officers
have also rendered efficient aid and the
sanitary and quarantine systems are as
perfect as they can be under existing con-
dltions.
But withal It must be confessed the sit
uation from Its present aspect 10 sufdcient-
ly grave to call forth the most strenuous
efforts Of all concerned In stamping out the
epidemic with the least possible delay. II
there should be failure In 80 doing there is
no telling what the end may be-

BERLIN, July 2S.-opinions concerning

WELCOME CLEANING
MOVE ro1 H1rTER SANITATION
WILL SUPPORTED.

Cbnsiderzbaa progress Is being reported
from all sections today In the campaign for
cleaning up the city. The police expect to
finish their distribution OF the notices to
householders today. and on Thursday will
commence the house-to-houss inspscf1on to
see whether ths sanitary regulatlo11e have
been fully observed. Major Sylvester. chief
OF police said today that his ofllcors have
no authority to enter premises without the
owners consent. but added that IN cases
where objections are made to the police In
spections can be handled by calling In the
health office inspectors. who are authorized
by law to make examinations wherever
they have cause to believe that the regula-
tons regarding sanitation are being vio-.
lated.
From ]. T Twohey, superinteudent OF
street cleaning. IL was learned this morning
that many people have already entered
fuiiy into the spirit Of the movement, be-
cause his Office Is being called upon for per-
sonai visits OF the inspectors whose duty
1t u 10 determine what disposition shall
be made Of refuse collected. In many cases.
1t - said. the material can be handled by
tho regular contractors. and the chief duty
OF the Inspectors from the street cleaning
department. II to give instructions regarding
the separation Of the waste into different
receptacles so that II win not be refused
by the drivers Of the contractors' wagons
Miscellaneous Waste.
Practically everything. said Mr.. Twohey.
will be taken by the contractor for coilec-
ton Of miscellaneous refuse, except yard
sweepings and dirt and old wall paper. and
because Of the press Of work which will
come upon his department in connection
with the cleaning up the departments In
speotors have received orders to require
proper separation Of the refuse in every
lit G,ts,a rrea liant
Twohey Is considering suggesting to the
Commissioners that the free services OF the
street cleaning departments wagons be ex-
tended only in cases where the people are
not financially able to pay for transporta-
ton OF the waste. The department has
only twelve wagons and their drivers who
could be taken of regular work to attend
to this extra labor, and It Is feared great
congestion will ensue If some measures are
not adopted to limit the number of calls
that can be made for free service.

America, proposed in 1875 a similar plan
for preserving efYectually the political Hber-
ties OF America; that Is. by the organiza-
ton OF a Pan-American congress IN which
all American states would be represented.
"In the Pan-American Congress and In
The Hague conferences. which are now ac-
tual facts. these two grand ideas are finding
a tardy Cor should I say a umelyD reallza-
ton.
1T seems more than appropriate that the
parliamentary principle having gone forth
from England and established itself In all
parts of the world. should now return TO
this place and plead for Its application to
the common affairs OF all those nations that
have adopted the parliamentary form of
government for their Individual interests.
The Interpariiamentary Union is itself
a suggestion OF this idea. Its request.
corded at ST. Louis. for the consideration
OF this idea by the governments has now
become a resolution in favor of the CONVEX
permanent body. The time is perhaps not
distant when this resolution will convert
itself into an efYectual demand.
AS Colombia has had soma part in pro-
noting the progress of the parliamentary
principle. and In three years will be ceie-
brating the centennial of her independence.
II seems that the Colombian congress will
have sort of historic right and duty to be
tho host upon that occasion of the Inter
parliamentary Union
I'm testimony OF our devotion to the cause
OF representative government and OF our
sympathy with the proposal that Ills form
OF government shall be provided as soon
as possible for the conduct OF international
