HEALTH IN PHILIPPINES.
Country in Better Condition Now
Than Ever Before. Is Report.

The best conditions OF public health
In the Philippines in the last ten years
marked the close of 1910 according to
the report of the Philippine bureau of
health. Only a few suspicious cases Of
cholera were then reported in Naujan
and on the Island of Catanduanes. Small
pox was less prevalent than for many
years. and there had been no plague
among rodents for three years. The gen.
eral mortality was lower than at any
other time in the history OF American
occupation. and there was a smaller num-
Der of intestinal diseases than usual.
In the nine months since the use of
unpublished rice had begun in the Cu!ion
leper colony as the staple article OF diet.
hcri-beri had entirely disappeared, after
having been continuously present for
more than five years. A new remedy has
been used with much success in the
treatment of yaws. a disfiguring ulcerous
disease. The singular freedom of Manila
from flies is said TO be due to the ex-
ceIlent arrangements for the daily COL
lection OF garbage and street sweep

Herd Stampeded in Chicago Streets
One Man Injured,

CHICAGO. Juy 11.-Thirty long
horned Texas steers stampeded at
West 40th and Morgan streets and ran
madly for more than a mile through
busy streets yesterday. Pedestrians
scampered from the path of the ami
mails and the excited cattle almost had
a clear right of way. One man was
not quick enough to escape the fren-
zied cattle, and his scalp was ripped
open by the horn of one Of the herd.
Three Of the steers were killed dur
ing the stampede. two being run down
by locomotives and a third by a street
car.
When 1T was realized that the wild
cattle had got beyond control two
cowboys on br0nchos dashed along the
streets, warning pedestrians to get out
of the way. A dozen cowboys finally
rounded up the band.

An attempt to secure an agreement to
vote on the Canadian reciprocity bill July
10. the free list bill July 20, and the wool
tariff bill July 81. was made in the Senate
today by Senator Watson of West Vir-
ginia. Objection was made by Senator

the Watson suggestion for a vote a
minor amendment offered by Senator
Cummns was voted down. No one was
ready to speak, and opponents of reci-
procity were confronted with the pros
pect of the immediate and summary
passage of the bill.
Plea for Absentees.

thority to speak for Senator La Fol-
lette or Bristow, who were absent from
the chamber, but that he knew both of
them wanted to offer amendments. Dis
claiming any desire to delay the bill, Mr..
Cummins said it was unreasonable to
ask for its immediate passage.
1T seems impossible to get an agree
ment for definite date for the vote"
said Senator Penrose. Il think we should
vote on the bill now unless there are
Senator Nelson made a point of no
quorum and a call of the Senate started,
while insurgents sent out hurry in"
call to absent colleagues.
Chairman Penrose then announced that

said they did not want to delay matters
he would again request an agreement to
vote OH the reciprocity bill July 81, free
list July - and wool revision bill July IS.
Bristow Objects
Senator Bristow who had rushed into
the chamber objected. He said he would
oppose adjournment until after full con-
sideratlon of not only these three bills.
but also of the campaign publicity bill.
Mr.. Bristow said he was unable to make
his anti-reciprocity speech today because
OF physical disability. Senator Bailey
who also has amendments. said he was
suffering from a sore eye and could not
speak now.
AS Senator Bristow concluded the state
ment of his objections, Senator Bailey of
Texas. democrat, offered the farmers
free list bill as an amendment to the
reciprocity bill Mr.. Bailey explained
that the amendment was the same as was
passed by the democratic House, except
he had eliminated certain articles of agri-
cultural products
