New York, July 13. All hope for the survival of the Pope is dis pared. Le still clings to life but the Vatican is in gloom. The hopeless comht.on of the Puntiff is distressing cnugh, but added to this is the shock attendant upon the sudden death of Cardinal Valp ni, the Secretary of the Papal Conchie, who was carried off suddenly by apoplexy Vast throngs of people surrounded the Vatican and at wd the streets of Rome. They have congregated firm all parts of Eu- rope. The tragedy of the Vatican is dispiriting, Leo lies in a semi-conscious condition in the sick chamber sprrounded by his physicians In one of the smaller and body attendants. audience chambers of the Palace rests the em

This morning a bulletin from the bedside of the Pope said that, the venerable Father was slowly but surele sinking.

AGENDA,

FIGHTING THE PLAGUE

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The National Geographic Magazine gives the main facts of the report of the Philippine Commission on the extermination of plague by

the American administration. It states that bubonic plague was discovered at Manila on December af, 1899, and slowly but steadily increased in its ravages up to December, 1901. The deaths in 1909 numbered 199 and in 195 reached a total of 432. The disease was at its worst each year during the hot, dry months of March. April and May, nearly or quite dis appearing during September, October, Novem ber and December. will be noted that the number of cases in 1901 exceeded that in 9 by 200, while the number of deaths was about two and a half times as great, and the per- centage of mortality among persons attacked increased from 73 in 193 to 9.7 in 1901, This heavy increase in plague for the year 1901 justified the apprehension that a severe epidemic would occur in 1922. Strenuous

efforts were made to improve the general sanitary condition of the city, but the habits of the Chinese residents and the lower class of Filipinos were such as to render the enforce ment of proper sanitary regul tions well-nigh

WILLIAM POWELL, LD,

The accounts of Messrs. William Powell, Ld., for the year ending 37th ultimo have been made up and show a pr. fit of about $26,000, The accounts are, however, subject to andit.

The capital of the company is $120,000, and we understand that a sum will be appropriated out of the profits to pay a dividend of to per cent. on the capital, leaving the balance for appropriation as may be recommended by the

directors.

The excellent showing, which the manage- ment has been able to make for the past year, will surely be eclipsed when the stores are removed to their fine new premises in Des Vreux Road, now nearing completion.

RAUB GOLD MINING CO. The following are extracts from the General Manager's Report for 4 weeks ending on the zoth June, troj.

The mine measurements and assay results,

The stripping down the air shaft has been commenced, the waste rock being dropped down the air shaft and trammed out through the east adit at 86 ft. This method greatly facilitates and cheapens the work, while afford ing us the necessary opportunity for erecting the temporary plant for further sinking. The

main shaft itself, which will mea sure 18 ft. x 5 ft inside timbers, has been sunk, timbered with 8 in x 8 in, hardwood, and jagged with 8 in. x 4 in., for a distance of 12 ft. The stripping of the surface to make ready for fixing machinery is in hand.

A CAMPAIGN AGAINST HOUSE RATS. On account of the important part which house rals are known to play in the distribution of bubonic plague, a systematic campaign was Cen-inaugurated against these rodents in Manila.ing a depth of fó ít.

Policemen, sanitary inspectors, and specially were furnished with appointed rat-catchers traps and prisen, and both traps and poison were distributed to private individuls under proper restrictions. A bounty was paid for all rats turned over to the health authorities, and stations were established at convenient points throughout the city where they could be received. Each rat was tagged with the street and num- ber of the building or lot from which it came, was dropped into a strong antiseptic solution, and eventually sent to the Biological Labora to y, where it was subjected to a bacteriological examination for plague. During the first two weeks, 1.8 per cent. of the rats examined were found to be infected. This proportion steadily increased, reaching the alarraing maximum of 2.3 per cent, in October: At this time numerous rats were found dead of plague in the infected districts, and, in view of the fact that epidemics of plague among the rats of a city in the past have been uniformly followed by epidemics among human beings the gravest apprehension was felt, the Tapid spread of the disease among the rats after the weather had become comparatively dry being a particularly unfavourable symptom.
