WAR ON RATS.
Report of the determination Work
Done in Frisco.

Washington, July 23.-While no
case of the human plague has appear
ed in San Francisco in two years and
four months and no case of rat plague
has been found there in a year and
six months, the deadly war on the ex-
termination of rats in the Pacific
coast metropolis continues without re-
Taxation.
With this statement acting Assist
ant Surgeon G. M. Converse of the
U. S. Public Health and Marine Hos
pital service, introduces a report made
public today, containing interesting
details of the anti-plague work. This
war on rats is mostly in the nature of
a prohylactic measure against infec
ton. Thirty laborers are employed
exclusively as rat catchers. There
are in constant use about 5000 traps
of the cage and snap varieties. Dur
ing May 1851 rats were trapped. In
this time the bait used was 321
pounds of bacon, 104 pounds of cheese
and $40 loaves of bread.
Bread was the best bait in cage
traps, record is kept of each rat that
is trapped Destruction of rats by
poisoned bread were distributed on
boards placed in the sewers.
City inspectors acting under the
United States authorities have been
making a reinspection of all premises
in the city and Surgeon Converse says
the result seems to show that the peo-

STOCK MARKET DISTURBED.
Crop Reports of Spring Wheat Dam
age Renewed.

New York, July 23.-The stock mar
ket became disturbed in the course of
the week by various unsettling infiu-
ences. The reduction in the National
Lead dividend and the slump in that
stock counterbalanced the effect of the
reports of proposed curtailment of
copper output and subjected the re-
ports to suspicion of designs on the
stock market. There were fears also
of bad effect from the forthcoming
quarterly report of the United States
Steel corporation. Crop damage re-
ports were renewed from the spring
wheat territory, and came also from
the corn crop.
The rapid increase in strength of the
New York banks lost its effect through
the disclosure of the small progress
made by the national banks of the
country in correcting the overextension
of credits shown in the March return
The advice of the secretary of the
treasury to the national banks to form
currency associations was accepted as
warning of the need of caution.

NEGRO HAD OTHER TROUBLE.
Frisco Dining Car Waiter Accused of
Slashing Man Near Topeka.

Kansas City, Mo. July 23.-Will
Pinman, the negro dining car waiter,
who was whipped in g fight on the
Frisco diner by r. P. Talley Thursday,
and who threw a water bottle at Tai
ley, missing him and striking w. K.
Palmer, got into fight with a travel
ing man on diner of the Union Pa
ciflc railroad between Kansas City and
Topeka on May of this year, and
used a knife with such effect that the
travelling man, Frank Hough of Chi
cago. was LAID uD for several weeks.
Hodgh, through the law firm of
Frank p Walsh of this city. sued the
Union Pacific railroad for $4,000
damages. Pinman's deposition in the
case was to have been taken bv Illus
NJ Lee yesterday afternoon. Pinman's
home is at the northeast corner of
Seventeenth street and Greeley avenue,
Kansas City. Kan.
The trouble between Pinman and
Hough is said to have been similar to
that between Pinman and TalIey.
Hough asserted that the negro was in
solent, and when he started to COM
plain to the dining car conductor, the
negro drew knife and assaulted him.
Pinman was arrested at Topeka and
was held in jail there several days, but
finally was released because of the in
ability of Hough to go there and prose-
cute him.
