PLAGUE ALMOST
BEYOND CONTROL
Cholera Situation in St. Petersburg
More Serious Than Visitation
of the Year 1893.
Disease Also Spreading in Manila
There Being Many Deaths, But
Health Authorities Are Confident
of Gaining Control Of the
Situation.

st. Petersburg.-St Petersburg Is IN
the grasp of Asiatic cholera, which al.
ready has exceeded in severity and
numbers the visitation of 1898. Inc
disease is increasing daily at an
alarming rate, and unless the authorl-
ties show in the future much greater
degree of ability to cope with the slt-
uation than they have in the past
there is every reason to fear that II
will get out of hand. The governments
threat to apply the provisions OF mar
tial law has driven the municipality
officials to bend all their energies to
clearing the city of the scourge. The
aldermanic council has voted $25O,0O0
to enlarge the hospital space, to pur.
chase and distribute disinfectants, the
supply of which in st. Petersburg IS
well-nigh exhausted, and TO expedite
the interment of bodies, which has
been VIGOROUSLY slow. The dead
houses are overcrowded and many
corpses lie unburied.
acknowledgements new cases OF
cholera and nineteen deaths are re-
ported for the twenty-four hours end
ing at 8 O'Clock Monday morning.
The infected areas in the city and
suburbs are spreading somewhat, but
the health authorities are still conf
dent that they will be able to speedily
gain control of the situation.
Governor General Smith has sum-
moned a special meeting of the men,
bers of the Philippine commission, to
discuss the plague situation and to lay
plans for an extension of the cam
paign now being waged against the
disease.
Federal troops are guarding the
sources of the city's water supply to
prevent the throwing of any infected
matter into the water, and 1t Is prob
able that the force thus engaged will
be largely reinforced.

LARKSPUR POISONING IN
THE NATIONAL FOREST
Government Making an Effort to Dis.
cover Antidote, and Thus Save
cattlemen Heavy Losses.

The losses to the cattlemen in the
western states from Larkspur pois
| oning every year have been so seri
Gus that the government Is making
vigorous effort to find an antidote
! for the poison. as well as to eradi.
rate the plant itself.
In the Gunnison national forest
Colorado. the losses TO the stockmen
last season from larkspur were con
servatiyely estimated to equal almost
per cent OF the total number of
cattle grazed upon that forest
Its effects are almost immediate.
Death follows the eating OF the plant
within a few hours. For this reason
remedies are OF little AVIAN. because
the animals are generally dead be
fore they are discovered.
Experts from the bureau OF plant
industry. In cooperation with the for
est service. have made careful and
pasnstaking Investigations In the
reid, with a view OF lesssning the
ioSses az far 40 possible, while sev
ersl different plans have been Tried

the early spriag On the CunnlsoD
forest la June, 1906. the forest Of
neeFs counted more than l 300 plants
Ia blossom upon a single square rod.
The plant seems 10 be more poison
oas IN hot. damp weather than In dry
seasons. and II has been observed
that when the ground II hard and
dry, SO that ia eating Il the stems

or Sund, II Is not so deadly In its eff

Since certain areas are well known

The atockmen have been In the habit
~ berding their cattle from such
places. As far as possible, these
areas will be fenced by the forest
service On other areas where u IL
not 40 plentiful the plants will be
dug out by the forest rangers, anG
also moved on to prevent seeding

II has also been found that this
plant will not hold It's own against
certain kinda OF grasses, such a. tim

are being carefully watched and II Il
believed that II la crowding the lark
spur out II seems probable that BY
sowing timothy on the mountain
meadows the iarkspur could be grad
ually smothered and replaced by
aiuabte forage plant
N this plan Is supported by good
evidence this season. timothy will be
extensively Kowed later on Mean

losses from this plant are very seri

an funds are available for the pur,
pose.
Mr. ]. G. Thomas OF Crawford. Col
orado, made an experiment In feed
ing the larkspur some years ago Go
determine, n possible. just what part
~ the plant contained the poisonous
properties. A yearling ateer was fed
large quantity Of the leaves. with
no Injurious results, A few days
later. the same animal was fed
quantity OF the roots. and within ten
hours II was dead. thus iustlfying the
suspicion that the poisonous matter
was contained In the root.
