CALIFORNIA WARNING
 AGAINST THE PLAGUE
Unless Action Is Taken the State Will Be in Quarantine Next Summer.

Sacramento. Feb. 14.-Dr. N. K. Eos ter. secretary of the state board of health. upon his return today from San Francisco. said: If the people do not get in and work there will be fresh outbreak Of the plague this spring that may result in quarantine being placed on the state or a section of the state. 'All indications point-to an outbreak of more cases this spring. The plague is not at an end and there is only one way to end it-clean up the filth and kill the rats. There is grave danger of the plague becoming epidemic and it is well that the people should know it. They have been warned time and time again by the state board of health but they seem indifferent.
 T can see that more cases of the plague will break out with the com ing of spring. Dead rats infected with the disease are being found by the hundreds in the bay cities. Still, peo- pie do not take the matter seriously and help work"

The Stumbling Block Lies as It Always Does In Turkey.

London, Feb. 14.-The assent of Ger many to the management of Moroccan affairs by France, the conclusion of agreements to maintain the status up on the Mediterranean and pending the negotiation looking to treaties that should accomplish a similar purpose with regard to the North sea seemed to make the possibility of difficulties arising among the powers remote, and the conferences of ambassadors at Constantinople also appeared to be go- ing on smoothly when bomb was thrown into the camp by the ar nouncement made by Baron Marschael von Bieberstein. the German ambassa- dor. that Germany would no longer act with the other powers in the direction of Turkey or consent to their demands.
 As to the cloud that has arisen be- tween Russia and Austria Hungary over the projects of railroad extensions in Macedonia of the latter state, and the right of Austria to secure cOnces- sion for the Novipazar railroad line and the justice of Germany supporting her ally are recognized in England but is is contended that the present time is inopportune for raising this point It is now said that the breaking up of all these international understandings will aggravate the Macedonian ques- tion and reopen the whole near east problems, and start a contest for rail- road concessions which may lead to serious results and enable Turkey to postpone the reforms for which the ambassadors have been working.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The senate today gave attention to speech on the Aldrich currency bill by Senator Clay. of Georgia. MT Clay's declara- tions in favor of the issuance of paper money by the government provoked a controversy between him and Messrs.

Tel Ter spoke briefly, saying that he want ed to make it clear that the issuing of money was not . banking business.
 Tt is the exercise of a sovereign power he said. Where would we have been today if the government had not stepped in and helped the banks? They are certainly unable to do busi- ness without government aid"
 If interposed Mir. Lodge, we had q system like that of England or France, or, best of all, Germany. the banks should have been able to meet the emergency"
 He said there was no reason why the government should guarantee notes of somebody else; but the theory was one thing and present necessity was another The bilT' he said. "is an attempt to provide practical treatment for a condition that may arise at any time" The senate adjourned until Monday

It was one hour from the time the head of the fleet entered the bay un- til the last vessel had passed the pres

 1t was review such as had never before been seen in Valparaiso bay; one that will long be remembered by the people who came miles to see it. The shipping in the harbor and the principal buildings of the city were dressed for the occasion as the day was observed as a holiday in honor of the fleet From the picturesque sloping hills dotted with houses. a profusion of bunting and waving flags were discernible from the bay. Thous- ands of persons from Santiago and other places in the republic had come to Valparaiso for the occasion and the roofs of the Bolza Commercial, with it's two huge towers, the customs house the large warehouses and other buildings along the bay front were black with spectators.

 Owing to her long passage 9 per cent reinsurance had been offered on her. During thee past few days heavy weather had been prevailing off the Oregon and California coast. The chronometers of the Emily Reed were incorrect and the master worked her too close to shore before he discovered the error. Captain Kessel was endeav- oring to make Tillamook Rock He was correct in his latitude but was too far eastward. When he discovered his position it was too late to wear the ship and she struck on one of the most dangerous places on the Oregon beach.
