AN EPIDEMIC OF GRIP.
Every Home in Pittsburg Affected by
Grip or Pneumonia.

Pittsburg.-What is said to be the
worst epidemic of sickness since 1889
is being experienced in Pittsburg and
physicians estimate that thousands of
persons are Frustrated by pneumonia,
typhoid fever and especially the grip.
Throughout the city probably every
home is affected in some manner, and
scarcity of employees in the large Of
fee buildings is seriously felt.
The Plttsburg Railway company Is
having difficulty in manning it's cars
on account of the conductors and mo-
tormen being laid up with the grip.
City Physician Booth says the pres
ent epidemic of grip exceeds in scope
and severity all but that of 1889, and
may yet break that record. He be-
lieves the germs may have originated
far from here. In 1889 the malady's
start was traced back through Europe
to Asia and finally located in Hong.

CHINA HAVING
HER TROUBLES
The Dowager Empress Gives Orders
to Suppress All Public Meet
ings in Pekin.
Government 10 Striving to FIJI a Con.
ciliatory Position Between Revo-
lutionary Agitators and Those
Who Feel Agrieved.

Pekin.-The dowager empress has
given verbal orders to the interior
department and to the police to sup
press all public meetings in Pekin,
and there is reason to believe that
this order will be extended to the
provinces.
The popular agitation along the
lines Of rights recovery" is growing
in a phenomenal manner. The ques-
sovereignty enters largely into the
matter. Women's societies, schools
for boys and girls, the family news
papers and the political press, all are
participating in the agitation, and for
month past the government here
has been receiving kilograms in in.
creasing numbers expressing the
strong desire of the senders that the
rights which have been alienated from
them by foreigners be restored to the
Chinese.
The movement has reached such
magnitude that the government is
thoroughly alarmed. and it is today

between the revolutionary agitators
and those who consider themselves
to be aggrieved. The people of Che
Kiang province have sent some dele
gates here to protect their interests.
These delegates the foreign board
has taken into its confidence, opening
its archieves to them and asking thern
to make a careful examination of the
position of the Chinese government
with regard to Great Britain and
then to recommend a solution of the
difficulty.
The reception accorded these civ
ilian delegates by the government
and the admission of representatives
of provincial councils into state az
fairs at Pekin. is without precedent
and Is believed to constitute what
can be called the thin edge Of the
wedge which Is to give constitutional
rights. II shows also the Importance
of the agitation which has been going
on in Ce Kiang province and which
undoubtedly is the cause OF the .re
cent edict by the throne.

THE FAKE BURIAL STORY
PROVED TO Be FALSE
Grave of Thomas Charles Druce IL
Opened and Human Body Found
Where Witness Said Rested a
Roll of Lead.

London. The body of Thomas
terry was oxhumed Monday morning,
just forty.three years to a day after
its burial The coffin was found to
contain the remains of human body,
thus exploding the romantic tale told
by Robert C. Caldwell and others who
swore during the recent hearing of
the bruce perjury case that 1t con-
tanned roll of lead.
The bruce vault has thus given up
its secret after ten years of legal pro-
ceedings which have cost, all told, a
considerable fortune. A large part of
this money was obtained from servant
girls and other workers, who were in.
duced to buy shares in a company,
formed to prosecute the claims OF
George Hollamby bruce against the
estate of the Duke of Portland.
The charge of perjury against Her.
bert bruce is effectively disposed Of.
So far as the public Is concerned,
the entire long drawn out Druce-Duke
of Portland controversy is at an end,
and the case Of the claimant, George
Hollamby Druce, has fallen to the
ground
Despite the finding of the body,
George II bruce says that he is deter
mined to continue to push his claim
for the estate and title of the Portland
dukedom.
In substance the story of Robert
c. Caldwell, whose testimony as a
witness in the so-called bruce case led
to the opening of the grave, and upon
which the claim of the bruce heirs for
the great fortune and the title of the
Duke of Portland was based was to
the effect that the Duke of Portland
and I. G. bruce, London store
keeper, were one and the same. He
had known the Duke of Portland
under both names. he said, and at the
request of the duke he had arranged
pretended death and mock funeral of
bruce, so that his dual personality
could be buried.

Engineers In Charge.

Washington.-The engineers on the
Panama canal are dealing in vast fig.

just received conveys in graphic
manner an idea OF the magnitude OF
the work to be done upon the locks of
the canal. II is stated for instance,
that the amount of concrete to be
used in building these locks would
suffice to construct eight-room city
houses of the generous size of 3Ox3C
feet, with two stories and basement
and with concrete floors and roof, to
the number of 22,S42. Allowing each
OF these houses seventy-five foot lot
they would make a continuous street
from New York to Philadelphia, with
enough houses left over to make o
row on one side of the street from
Philadelphia to Washington. The
houses would furnish suburban homes
for 10000 people, or, according to
city standards made, have a popula.
ton equal to that of the city Of Mime.
