Destruction Caused by Rats.

DSSSAA 80
Consul Maxwell Blake sends from
Dunfermline an extract from q Scotch
newspaper on the destruction caused
by rats, as brought out by a deputa-
ton from the Incorporated Society
for the Destruction of Vermfn-
Headed by Sir James Grichton
Browne and the Duke OF Bedford,
they waited upon Lord Darlington at
the offices of the Board Of Agricul-
ture to urge him to appoint a COM
mission to inquire into the subject OF
the destruction caused to crops by
rats. The extract reads: @The depu-
tation pointed out the enormous dam
age done by rats, which amounts, on
a most moderate computation, to
els, 900 per annum n Great
Britain. This is arrived at by allow.
ing only one rat, to a cultivated acre
of ground. Assuming that each rat
does damage to the extent OF one
farthing a day, this works out on the
forty million acres Of land at the
figure mentioned. Sir James erich
ton Browne incidentally stated that
two million people died of plague in
India, and said it had been proved
that the rat was the chief cause OF
the spread of infection. 1t was also
stated that the expenditure on rat
poisons in the United Kingdom
amounts to %a25O,OO0 per annum,
which is considered many times more
than would be required properly to
exterminate the vermin If tie cam
paign were systematically conduct.

HALT ON JAPANESE BILLS
Governor Urges California Legis-
Iature to Omit Laws.
Suggests That Provision &c Made For
Census to Determine Whether Jap
anese Are Increasing in the State.

Sacramento, Cal. - Governor Gil.
lett sent to the Legislature a special
message urging that an appropriation
be made for taking a census of, the
Japanese in the State, in which he
gave warning against any anti-Jap-
anese legislation.
The Governor received a telegram
from President Roosevelt, stating
that a letter is on the way. The Gov
ernor said he did not know the nat
ure of the communication, but 1t
probably deals with the Japanese
question, and will throw more light
lpon the negotiations between Japan
ind the United States.
After stating that the bills intro
iuced by Assemblymen Drew n
Johnson and by Senator Sanford are
causing a serious agitation both here
and in Japan, and have been the sub
Iect of an address to the National au-
thorities by the japanese Govern
nent, the Governor reviewed the ne
ROTATIONS between the two powers to
stop immigration. The message was
IN part as follows:
There is certain legislation now
pending before you which believe to
be of grave concern, not only to our
State but to the Nation as well, and
which should be most thoughtfully
considered before it Is acted upon.
Certain bills have been intro
luced, some of which have been raw
orably reported by your committee,
indirectly intended to affect the jap
anese people-at least such Is the
impression abroad. These bills have
attracted the notice of the whole Ma
lion and have caused Japan to call
the attention of our Government to
hem. They have produced an agita-
ton not only in our own country, u
throughout Japan, and the Japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs has statea
20 the authorities at Washington that
if the bills should be passed the Gov
eminent of Japan would consider 1t
very embarrassing"
The Governor then reviews what
has beeL done by the Governments OF
the United States and Japan, result
Ing in a compact for the restriction OF
immigration, the provisions OF which,
he says, Japan Is now. carrying out.
Figures are given showing a decrease
in the immigration Of Japanese, and
the Governor says he knows OF moth
ing to sustain the assertion that the
Japanese population Of California is
increasing. The massage continues:
To-day the relations between the
United States and Japan are very
friendly. Both are great powers
among the nations Of the world. Both
stand in a position, geographically,
to dominate and control the com
merce of the Pacific. Acting togeth-
er, they a dictate the policies which
other nations must pursue in the Far
East, and can preserve the trade
there. AS friendly allies many bene-
Ats will inure to both nations and a
great commerce can be carried on be-.
tween them to the advantage of our
people, but as enemies the commerce
of both can be driven from the ocean.
Every reason, therefore, exists why
there should continue between Japan
and our Government the most friend
ly relations, and it is the expressed
wish of each nation that @his shall be

KILLED BY LONDON BANDITS.
Robbers Loot Pay Auto and Flee,
Firing Rapidly.

London, England.-A policeman
and a boy ten years old we're killed
and twenty-one persons were injured
in a chase after two Russian highway
robbers, who, after snatching a money
bag from a man who was taking 1t to
a Walthamstow factory. tried to make
their escape by using automatic re-
volvers and forcing the drivers of a
surface car and a milk wagon to
speed them through the city. While
the chase was, going on the bandits
fired their reyolvers. Most Of those
shot we're bystanders who took no
part in the chase. After being sur
rounded in a marsh by the police and
an army Of duck hunters, one of the
robbers killed himself with a shot and
the other, after making for a cottage,
tried to commit suicide.

Reins of Power.

Paris, France.-It is announced
from an official source that the EN-
peror Menelik of Abyssinia is dead,
and that the Empress Taitou has been

BILE, chiefly at Adds Abeba. the cap
ital of Abyssinia, and that Europeans
there may be in danger. :.
King Menelik of Abyssinia bore ID

Negusti, or King of Kings. He was
supposed to be a descendant of the
Queen of Sheba, who visited King
Solomon, and he was a monarch OF

views. He was born on
August II, 1874, and acceded to the
throne in 1866.

refused to the railroads. The roads
now have two courses open to them.
They can either go into the United

can go to the Corporation Commission
and make application for a revision
of the rates on the ground that the
roads are losing money. Meantime
the two-cent rate prevails.
