PLAGUE PRECAUTIONS AT

"The authorities are now waking up to the necessity of thorough measures in dealing with the danger of a visit from the plague, says the S. D. Press. This paper many times pointed out that the examination of passengers, by steamer, from infected ports, amounted to next to nothing, which the native craft were allowed to sail in from anywhere without inspection, This is apparently now recognised, for it is announced that all the native craft are to be under cho- same regulations as the, steamers. But why is it only now that they are thought of Shanghai has escaped the epidemic 50 far, but can think itself fortunate that the terrible visitor, has not put in an appearance here. Disease can travel just as well by a junk as by a liner and yet, strange. to say, it has not been thought necessary to supervise the small craft till now that we have the plague all round us. The terrors of few score-or hundreds, perhaps of deaths a day, in a hor rible form, apparently are wanted in our midst 10 show that it is really-something to be kept out with the utmost attention to every known hot of cling with the de-should-tare been done at first which the outbreak showed up, lowever, how that it is to be started, and is not too late, it is to be hoped that the most. stringent and searching examination will be made of every living thing coming in from the ports now in trouble.
