Rummel has been used in place OF so much
silvered glass. and by this means messages
from French. German. British and Dutch

THE PEOPLE REASSURED
Experts Say Present Regulations
Will Protect Country-Gloomy
: Tone on Bourse.
(By Cable 70 The Tribune.l


Paris, Feb Ism. Dubois, delegate
OF the tradesrnen in the st. Cervais
quarter Of Paris. which comprises forty
thousand inhabitants, mostly Of the poor
classes. including twelve thousand RUS
slams, Poles and Armenians, has been
received by Leon MIrman. manager OF
the Paris Board Of Health. who says
that the superior health commission mas
just made thorough investigation OF
the situation in France in regard to the
danger OF plague.
NJ. Mirman. basing his opinion on the
unanimous views OF leading French SCI
entists. including Professor Metchnikoff.
Of the Pasteur Institute: DR.. Dujardtn-
Beaumetz. chief Of the plague laboratory
Of the Pasteur Institute, and Professor
Albert Robin. Of the faculty o! the U.t-
versity OF Paris. says that there is no
cause for anxiety about the pneumonic
plague reaching France. and that the
measures now in force are fully suff1-
cient TO prevent such a calamity.
Meanwhile several Paris newspapers
publish terribly realistic pictures OF the
horrors of the plague in Manchuria. and
print maps covered with skulls and
crossbones, showing that the plague IN
its sudden jump from Moukden to AS
trakhan has reached point that, as the
crow flies. Is nearer to Paris than AS
trakhan is to Moukden, or, In other
words, that the plague has already
rassed the halfway house on the over
land road from Manchuria to France.
The scientists explain that Astrakhan
is region where the plague in some
phase or another exists permanently,
and this fact presents no danger for
Western Europe.
A gloomy tone prevails on the Paris
Bourse, and in spite of the reduction of
the Bank OF England's rate to 80 per
cent business remains purely nominal
and depressed.
This situation is attributed to three
causes, the first of which is the ulti-
matum addressed by Russia to China in
regard 10 Chinas interpre tation and ex-
ecution of the commercial treaty OF 1881
This action OF Russia is used by specu-
lators as an important lear factor on
the Bourse.
According to information obtained
from the most trustworthy diplomatic
circles here, no international complica-
tions will ensue. because strong hopes
prevail that China will submit her side
OF the dispute 10 the Hague tribunal.
thereby practically forcing Russia to d.
likewise. .-.
The second dlsqueting point is due to
pessimistic reports about the spreading
OF the plague. For the first time IN
many years an important relapse in Rus
san securities Is noted. aud the down.
ward tendency is general. .-
Meanwhile the cheerful feeling in re-
gard 10 United States railroads and in
dustrial investments has been checked
by anxiety and long delay of trust and
rate decisions and by the heavy tone OF
the New York market. This Is made
the most of here and may be regarded
as the third cause of the present gloomy
situation on the Bourse.
