OF them fell upon the trail, while hun

the same penalty. Again in 1855 the
same pestilence came to US by immi-
a ships. this time entering New
York, from which 1t spread In every
direction. as Tar west as Kansas.
Every few years since cholera first
sleaped Its native bounds in India has
the Old World threatened US with such
epidemtcs. During a European outs
break in 1887. $4,000 people died OF
the disease in Palermo alone, and whilo
our f~orty-niners were giving up their
ghosts to the same destroyer 1t killed
over $4,000 people in England and
Wales. Other tremendous death tolls
have been: England and Wales, 1854,
10000; Constantinople. 1865. $4,000;
Span, 1885. $1,000: Japan, 1886. $1,000.

Since last May sixteen countries
across the sea have menaced US with
cholera: Austra-Hungary. China, Cey-
Ion. Germany. India. Italy. Japan, Java,
Netherlands, Persia, Roumania, Philip
pines, Siam, Straits Settlements, Tur-
key and Russia.
Russia is the blacklist centre of n
lection, having suffered more than
100000 cases and some 100000 deaths
since early in May. During the past AZ
teen weeks OF this Russian epidemic
the deaths totaled 5000, or an average
Of 5000 per week During the last week
for which Surgeon-General Wyman hes
received returns the rate had risen
to 7,743 deaths, which means more
than a thousand a day. st. Peters,
burg and Moscow, alone with hundreds
of other cities and towns scattered
over Russia, have had epidemics on
their hands. In China from three to
four thousand deaths from the same
cause occurred in the vicinity OF Swa-
tow in less THAI IA month, and In the
Philippines about 400 deaths have
been recorded to date. The other
countries upon Or. Wyman's black list
show fewer cases. but are nevertheless

DARK Rooms Of the Tenaments.

"Let in the light" is the slogan Of the
men and women engaged in tenement
house reform in New York. 1t is hard
to believe, but ii Ii nevertheless fact
that oil February 10, 1908, there were IN
that city 10I,2TT absolutely windowless
rooms, most Of them bedrooms inhabited
BY the poorer classes, those who pay rent
OF from three to sixteen dollars month
Because OF the strenuous efforts OF the
tenement house committee OF the Char
ity Organization society, in securing and
enforcing the tenement house law, the
number Of windewless rooms was re-
duced to about 10000 Think of it, you
dwellers in spacious, sunny suburban
villas. ninety thousand rooms without
any sunlight whatsoever save that which
enters by the door that admits the per-
son who goes into it to eat, sleep, to
work. or TO sit about and enjoy himself
AS best he can Some of these ninety
thousand rooms are in cellars, some in
attics and others are distributed about
on intermediate floors, according to the
fearful and wonderful designs OF that
most hopeless or all human habitations,
the dumb bell or doube-deok tenement
house.
Most hopeless Yes, because the man
who lives in cave can at least enjoy
privacy and silence aud air that is not
contamini ted by the calculations and
nuisances OF his fellows the man who
lives in a tent can pull back the flap
snd get air, and the man who lives In
an igloo can cut as many vents IN its
walls as he chooses and have as much
light and air as he wants and at any
time he wants it.
We are won't to think Of London as a
city where miserable millions are
crowded into mcouth and unaanitary
quarters, but London's greatest density
of population is less than six hundred
to the acre, while in New York there
are blocks and blocks where the density
is one thousand to fifteen hundred hui
man beings in that space. In Chicago
the population Of the Polish quarter sc-
cording to Robert Hunters report, is
three times that of the most crowded
portions OF Toxic, Calcutta or other
Asiatic cities. and yet the density rarely

OPINION FEDERAL COURT
Master Of chancery-Federal eonstitu-
ton Said to Be violated--State
Law Declared to Be cOnhsca-
tory in Effect.

st. Paul. Mimi, Sept. 22.-Filing his
findings IN the Minnesota commodity
freight and two-cent passenger rate case
yesterday in the United States circuit
court. Special Master in Chancery
Charles E. Otis neld those rates to be
Unconstitutional and conhscatory.
This timing Of Judge Otis, unless over
ruled by the higher courts, destroys
the rnte.maIing power Of the state Of
Minnesota through The warehouse ana
railroad commission and has somewhat
general effect in establishing federal
rate supervision as against state rate
supervision. The finding in the three
60 ses was the result Of suits brought a
wear or more ago BY certain stock
holders OF the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and the Minneapolis q IT
Louis railways against their respective
companies, the attorney general Of
Minnesota, the state warehouse and rail.
road commission and certain shippers
h. enjoin them from enforcing certain
rates prescribed By the authorities
namely: "Class rates" and commodity
rates. aud fixing the two cents per mile
passenger fare.
Judge Otis in his finding recommends
decision and decree in favor Of the
compliments on all points and finds
each measure complained Of IN viola
ton Of the commerce clause Of the fed
eral constitution. and also that the rates
are so low as to be eoniiscatory and IN
violation Of the fourteenth amendment.
Judge Otis holds that the contention Of
the complainants solicitors, that carriers
could not obey the state law and apply
state rates without being guilty Of dis
crimination against commerce between
states in violation Of the federal law
Is fully sustained and he recommends
that the injunction be granted upon
that ground.
