THE PLAGUE IN san FRANCISCO.
Nlnety-sIx Cases Up to Nov. M. OF which
Sixty Proved Fatal.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Past Assistant
Surgeon Blue of the Marine Hospital Service,
who is in charge Of the plague situation in
San Francisco, mas reported to Surgeon
General Wyman that the disease seems
TO be on the decrease, and IL Ia believed
that the cases now being reported represent
all that are occurring in that city. During
the first week OF this month 1900 rats
we're trapped and found dead by the men
scattered about in an effort to kill all rodents
which are infected with and trRnsm it
plague germs.
Up 70 November 10. according to the
reports received at the offices Of the Marine
Hospital Service in this city. there had
peer ninety-siX cases Of plague reported
in San Francisco, from which sixty deaths
have resulted The pOisons used for rats
nave included plaster OF paris -four. phos-
best results have been obtained from the
arsenic and phOsphorOus paStes. Expert
ments which have been conducted in San
Francisco seem to prove that these pastes
kill the rat in about six or seven hours.
A bounty Of 10 cents has been offered for
rats.
The situation IN Seattle, where the occur
renee Of plague was reported to the Marine
Hospital Service, is entirely under CONTROL

a total on that date Of two cases.
Bubonic plague is more widely scattered
over the world in the opinion Of surgeons
Of the Marine Hospital Service than il has
been for many years. The situation in the
Punjab of India is probably the most serious
with which the sanitary authorities have
ever had to contend. From April IL TO
September IA OF. this year in that district
there we're $3.50. 557 cases. from which SO6. Dos
deaths resulted. The plague is also preva-
lent in other parts Of India. but in no other
is there such a frightful mortality rate IA
there is in the Punjab. In Japan there is
also a number of cases OF plague. the island
Of FOrmosa having about 1000 cases of
the disease. Plague is also prevalent to a
lesser extent in China. ManChuria, Egypt,
South America and Hawaii. In the Mo-
hammedan countries it is spread by the
annual hegira. when pilgrims from all parts
Of the Orient gather at Mecca and from a
sanitary point Of view exchange diseases,
which they carry bach to their homes when
they leave the Holy City.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2l.-The report of
John II. Carson. chief Of the bureau Of
manufactures. for the year ended June
30, 1907. says that the value Of the output
OF the manufacturing industries Of the
country is nearly SIS. 900, 600. 600 per annum.
Last year the aggregate value of domestic
merchandise exported was 81, 854, 900, 900,
an increase Of nearly Si36, 900. goo over the
preceding year. The aggregate value OF
manufactures exported in the year ended
June 30 was 81 ,OS6. 900. 600, or more thar
81 per cent. Of the entire exports for that
year.
Special significance is attached TO the
increase of nearly $40. OOO.O 600 in the ex-
ports OF completed manufacturer. in view
Of the fact that the exports Of cotton cloths
declined more than s2i 100000. this loss
being entirely in the cotton trade with
China. The popular feeling in that country
growing out OF alleged outrages against
Chinese residents in the United States 10
assigned as a contrlibutory cause for this
decline.
The cotton seed product industry now
represents an invested capital OF slOO. 900. 900.
The exports for the year were upward OF
$40. $40. 900. ar increase Of 90. 500. 600 over the
fiscal year 1903.
IL ~ pointed out thaL one OF the obstacles
TO the enlargement OF export trade
is the uncertainty of transit between places
of production and the seaboard. Mer-
chants In the Orient especially complain
that calculation cannot he made as TO when
goods ordered in the United States will be
delivered. and in consequence orders 90
10 European houses that should come to
those OF this country. The bureau has been
in correspondence with managers OF rail-
way and ocean steamship companies 60

countries. What is needed is a system
by which carloads of merchandise con-
signed 20 foreign countries when started
shall be kept moving continuously toward
destination.
