PLAGUE NOW AT CARACAS.
City in Panic After Discovery Of Victim
in the Famous la India Cafe.

Caracas, June 4. The dreaded plague
has at last come to Caracas, which for a
few months past has been hoping against
hope that it might be spared from the
seoruge which had stricken the neignbor.
ing port OF La Gnayra. The city awak-
ened to-day TO the full knowledge that
the disease WAS here. The case was
that Of an employee Of the famous La
India Cafe, one Of the finest in Caracas.
This did not tend To decrease the general
alarm. X was realized that the presence
of the hubonic ia such quarters meant
that no section of the city was safe.
Officially 40 epidemic exists III Vene-
zuela President Castro's decree Of May
70 announced the stamping out Of the
nameless disease and the opening Of
La tiuayra to commerce, This decree has
not been revoked, although the port has
remained closed and there afe numerous
cases there al the present time. The
most reliable figures obtaiaable from
private sources give about 100 cases in
la Guayra since the epidemic began
two months and a half ago This Is
only a little more than one case day,
but the city has little over 5000 inhabi-
tants.

of farms, country homes Of city business
people, clubs camps. stores, etc, In places
having population 81 10000 OF less, can
have telephone connections with the gen.
era system Of New England at very
moderate cost. The principal features
of this plan ara the construction Of local
lines BY subscribers themselves and con-
nection with the nearest central Office Of
the Vermont Telephone and Telegraph
company. which makes q charge Of IS
cents per month for residences and 20
cents per month for places Of business,
to cover the cost Of operating. The
subscribers get unlimited eommunica-
tions with all tho subscribers of the ex-
change with which they are connected,
and access to the toll lines covering all
New England and the eastern part Of
the United States. This arrangement
is Of peculiar advantage to subscribers

New York, june Is. The lives Of 200
persons we're imperiled early yesterday
BY an incendiary, who made a futile at

turning home late saw the blaze and
sent an alarm through the house.
Two hundred men, women and chill
dren tumbled harriedly out Of their beds
while policeman aud several helpers

soaked stairways To the root. and serious
loss of life might have resulted Yes
terday's attempt To burn the house was

SACRIFICE OF PROPERTY

Philadelphia, June 1s.-~Attorney Cen
eral Bonapartc, for the government.
and John q. johnson Of Philadelphia,
representing the various railroads in.
VOWED, closed the arguments for their
respective sides yesterday Ii The pro-
ceedinga instituted BY the government
to restrain the coal carrying railroads
from transporting coal from mines IN
which they are financially interested In
Pennsylvania TO points outside ths
state. The suit against the railroads
was instituted under the commodity
clause Of the Hepburn act and the con-
stitutionality Of that clause rests upon
the decision OF Judges Dallas, Gray and
Burlington, who are sitting as an equity
court, The railroads attack the consti-
nationality Of the clause on the ground
that it is not regulation, but a PRO
hibitioD;Y that it Ii class Iegislation;
that,it constitutes a taking of the COM
panies rights without just compensation
and that the penalties provided for are
excessive and prohibitiye.
When court opened yesterday, Mr..
johnson began the closing arguments
for the railroads. Robert IN. De Forest
Of New York, associated with the de-
Tense. who was unabel to conclude bis
argument yesterday, presented his ad.
dress in printed form to the court. MF.
Johnson said the authority for owner
ship Of coal lands BY railroads was
conferred by the laws Of Pennsylvania
He declared that no sane man would
have invested money in these lands If
a guaranty OF transportation 10 mark
et did not exist. He declared that I'M
der the commodities clause, citizens Of
Pennsylvania would be obliged to dis
pose of property at sacrifice. Con.
guess, he said, had no power to force
citizen Of Pennsylyania to sell even
81 Of his property. The commodities
clause, he continued, would render al
most worthless collieries and valuable
terminals Mr. johnson advanced
seven propositions of law, all Of which
attacked the eonstitutionality Of the
clause. and he then entered upon long
legal argument, upon each one Of the
propositions.
