The Plague In China. .
Botweentbewarwith Japan andtbe
terrible epidemic which is devastating '
her bordersChinaappeam tobe inafair
way to get rid of a few hundred thou-
sand of her surplus population. In Can-
ton alone nearly 100,000 persons have
died from the plague since March 1‘. In
Honskong. with a population of 200.-
000, the disease appeared in March. By
the 1st of J one the deaths had reached
over 50 a day. The mortality there is
something like 10.000. These are only
two of the Chinese cities. They are the
cues inwhich the disem has been most
severe, but beyond doubt it has raged
with fury in downs of places where no
death list was kept. The attempt has
been made by the Chinese toconceal the
full extent of the ravages.
The disease is identical with the
black or greatplaguo of London in 1665.
London loomed a lesson from that aw-
ful chapter in its history which never
needed to berepeatcd. It was the lesson
in sanitation that it seems impossible
for oriental countries to comprehend.
The black plague is characterized by
fever. It is called bubonic (ever because
of the bubocs or mailings that appear
in the large glands where there is fric-
tion caused by putsof the body rubbing
together. These glands dually break
like an ulcer. Black spots appear over
the body. For this reason the disease is
called the black plague. So fatal is it
that 90 per cent of those attacked die.
It is a disease of filth and sin, like most
terrible epidemics. With fresh air,
cleanliness and decency and purity of
thought and living all the great contn-
glons that sweep away mankind would
disappear.
Hongkong is really a British town—-
more disgrace to the authorities for let-
ting the plague gct such a hold there.
It is situated on on island of the same
name in the mouth of the Canton river.
The population, while largely Chinese,
is made up of a mixture of all the na-
tions of the earth, and it is exactly
among such conglomerntions of peoples
that depravity and epidemic disease do
their worst. One of the suburbs of
Hongkong, called Tai Ping Shun, cov-
ered several hundred acres. Its popula-
tion made their living by keeping gam-
bling dens, opium joints and centers of
devilishness of all kinds. Here the
plague struck and raged like a million
devouring. demons. The authorities of
Hongkong gave the order that the build- '
ings in Tel Ping Shun should be burned
to the ground. It was done and the un-
savory district cleaned out.
The enthusiasm which has burst into
flame in Japan at the outbreak of war
is surprising. The Imssionutoloynlfy of
the Japanese for their emperor shows
that his progrtssivo course is appreciat-
ed by his people. The czar of Russia
might take it lcsson from the emperor of
Japan which would be to his advantage.
0! his own free will illutsu-Ilito gave
his people a parliament and a constitu-
tion. Russia mils horse" a civilized
country. yet not all thoprcssure brought
to hour by their subjects for a century
has been nblu to make the czars grunt a
constitution and parliament to the
great northern umpire. Japan is more
civilized than Russia. The spirit of her
progressive and ambitious people is
shown in the way they responded to the
emperor's call for a loan.
For awhile. just how long no man
can tell. 1,272 passengers will have it
to say that they canto norms the Atlan-
tic ln tho quickcat time ever made by
any steamer. It has been prophesied for
some years that many people now liv—

looks as if the prophmy would come
