CHANCE PLANS
Of NEW DOCKS

Contractor Whitehouse, WHO is doing
the work on the new Government dock,
at the foot of Alakea street, has
been instructed by Superintendent of
Public Works Campbell to place big
eight by twelve timbers, for use as
chatting planks, on the new structure
This feature was omitted in the. origi-
nal specifications and, as the result,
the harbormaster refused to take any
vessel up to the dock until the change
was made and the local agents of yes
sells refused to allow their ships to be
placed alongside.
This was on account of the fact, that
with the structure as it was originally
planned, a vessel coming in, if struck
by a puff of wind. was liable to rip off
the fender piles and cause a great
amount of damage for which it would
be held responsible. a protest made
to former superintendent of Public
Works Holloway was of no avail. but
under the new regime the change
suggested has been ordered.
The completion of the new wharf is
going along very rapidly and it is ex-
pected that bids for the work of con-
structing the shed which will be placed
on it. will be called for in the near
future. The money necessary for this
work was appropriated by the last
legislature.

| follows:
New York City was reached by the
plague in November, 1899, on coffee
steamer from Santos. Brazil, aboard OF
which were two men who were taken
i'll with the plague on reaching quaran-
tine. There was no spread of the
disease there
In December, 1893, the disease appear
Cd in Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, and
was probably taken there from Japan.
There We're four cases and two deaths.
In 1924 there We're "a cases reported and
g. deaths; in 1901. Is fatal cases. In 1900
there were two cases that reached New
York. one man dying at quarantine.
The next year there was another case.
This came from Calcutta on a steamer,
the patient being a Stoker.
Bubonic plague was uncovered i'll the
Chinese quarter of San Francisco in
November, 1900, and u large area was
dec Jared infected. Great difficulty was
experienced by a special commission,
which explored this quarter. and which
finally reported III 1901 that there had
been - fatal cases of plague in san
Francisco.
In Manila, p. l., there We're q few
cases Of the plague in 1899. and in 1890
there were 300 cases, with PSI deaths,
reported from the Philippines In 1901
there were i97 cases reported in the
islands, with 315 deaths.
There gre two forms of the dread dis
ease, one severe, the other mild. The
symptoms are slight fever. swelling Of

involvement, which constitute the at
tack In other cases prostration, head
ache. vertigo and gastro-intestinal dis
turoances occur. The period OF inocula-
ton lasts from three to seven days.
The person suffers with chillS, fever.
weakness, lassitude. vertigo, headache,
and vomiting. Within ten days emae-
iation and exhaustion are extreme. The
patient may now die of heart failure. in
sync0pe, or of hemorrhage, of peri
tonitie. or jaundice, or he may recover
after about two months convalcscence.
The plague is not caused by filth
over crOwing. diseased grain. or mum
daticns. 1t is always caused by the
presence of the rlague bacillus.
The micrc-organism was discovered
independently by katasato and Nersin
in 1894. The lower animals, especially
rats, are infected in large numbers from
the dust in the pest-laden houses. The
unsanitary conditions under which the
affected individuals live give ample op-
portunity for direct or indirect trans
mission OF the disease from patient to
patient. Flies and other insects carry
it, and several of the more recent visit
atoms Of the plague have been directly
attributable to the transmission by
rats.--3altimore American.

PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Has Aroused Interest in the history OF
the Disease in This Country.

The presence Of bubonic plague in
san Francisco and the fact that the
health authorities there have called on
the government to have the United
States Marine Hospital Service take
charge of affairs created considerable
interest in this city yesterday. There
are number of persons in this city
who have relatives on the coast, and
they are naturally anxious for their
welfare, particularly as the city is Just
recovering from the destruction
wrought by the earthquake and fire.
While the local and State health au-
thorities do not fear that there is any
danger of the plague getting n foothold
in this country. they are taking and
have taken precautions to prevent the
coming into the city or State OF any
persons who may have the dread
disease. The health officials have ab-
solute confidence in Surgeon General
Wyman and his assistants in the
Marine Hospital Service to cope with
the dread plague and prevent its
spread.
Bubonic plague has been discovered
in this country on n number of Occa-
sions, and the nearest it ever came to
bdltii1''Ft WIS New j Tk, WHICH lbs
had several cases in recent years San
Francisco never had it so extensively
as at this time. and the fact that the
city health authorities cannot cope with
it is indicated to those persons here who
are interested in the public health that
the conditions there are worse than ap-
pear on the surface.

COTTON MILL CURTAiLMENT.
Most Of Thorn Will Run Four Dsys =
Week to March I.

| Boston, Dec. 27.--The Arkwrlght Club
which represents the cotton mill Interests
OF New England, at Il meeting Thursday
form ally voted to curtail production Is per
cent. between now and March / in order
| to relieve conditions in the cloth markets
| of New York, Chicago. Boston ard other
large centers. 1t was stated several days
ago that n committee previously appoint
ed by the club to canvass the situation
among the mills had found sufficient FEN
timent to insure the success OF the cur
tailment plar and that restriction OF
production was regarded as q certainty.
The mills of New England employ about
1S5 0CO operatives under normal conditions.
and il is expected that at least $4,000 will
be affected by the short time. The cur
taiIment agreement went into effect
Thursday although numerous mills have
been shut down since Tuesday night.
The agreement will affect large ma

York and Boston. adopted short time
policy "A month ago, as did the Monadncck
mills of Claremont, y. H.; and these and
several other concerns will probably
reach the end of their curtailnent policy
before the factories in the large centers.
More than 50 per cent. of the spindlea
in New England is represented in the
agreement. Most Of the mills Will run
four days week during January and
February, thus including Saturday d
short workday, in the shutdown. Mills
which have contracts calling for delivery
during the winter are at liberty TO re-
duce their production q per cent. par
tally before March i. and the remainder
after that date. The method OF reducing
is left largely to the discretion of the
managers
According to some of the officers Of tex
tile unions, the operatives prefer TO work
four days a week rather than be contln-
uously idle for Il period of nearly three
weeks.
The curtailnent movement originated in
New York commission houses which fear
ed congestion OF goods and failing
prices in the spring if the mills continued
to operate in full all winter.
