Children Confined at
Their Homes.
Seattle, Jan. 31.—Influenza has
again become epidemic in this
city.
More than eight thousand
scnool children are confined at
their homes with the illness, and

public gatherings until such
time as the disease shall have
run its course.
To date but few cases are
proving fatal, the mortality
being much less than in former
epidemics.
