10 QUARRELING IN THE QUARANTINE State and National Medi- cal Officers Dis- agree. WEO IS PARAMOUNT? Not Even the President Could Visit a Quarantine Station. VARIOLOID AT ANGEL ISLAND. A Vessel With Disinfecting Plant to Be Established Near Cali- fornia City. Vaccination is in order on the Pacific Mail dock at present and everybody there has a sore arm or is trying to get one. ‘When the China arrived from the Orient last Sunday the captain, officers, crew and passengers proudly exhibited their vaccine scars and straightway the wharf was filled with thoughts sanitary. Then from Vice- President Schwerin down all” hands lined up in the company surgeon’s office for treatment. Captain Anderson’s arm has “taken” beautifully, while Captain Bing- ham and Chief Engineer Hawxhurst are doing as well as could be expected. Cus- toms Inspector Sprague and Police Cor- poral Cockrill joyfully state that they can- not lift their sore arms high enouxh to take a drink of water. Yesterday morning State Quarantine Officer Chalmers reported to the Board of Health that he visited Angel Island the evening before to see the smallpox patient —a Chinese steerage passenger—now at the quarantine station and that Dr. Rosenau, the surgeon in charge, had refused to let him do so. The board notified Dr. Chal- mers that his duty in the matter was plain and that in any event no person must be landed from tne quarantine station until the proper time and all sanitary condi- tions had been complied with. “I cannot understand why Dr. Rosenau should refuse to let Dr. Chalmers, the State Quarantine Officer, visit the patient,”” said Dr. Hart of the board yesterday. *“It is common courtesy among physicians to exhibit cases, and 1 would never refuse to, let a professional brother see any of my patients if he so desired. However, Dr. Chalmers has full power to act in regard to the landing of the Chinese passengers from Angel Island, and there is ng doubt tuat Dr. Rosenau will see that there is no ditease amung them and that all precan- tions are taken before he considers the uestion of their release from quarantine. 'hey must all remain there at least iour- teen days from to-day or longer if any more cases are found.” Dr. Cbalmers stated last night that he might not be able to visit Angel Island, but no Chinese should be landed in this City from that quarantine station until he was perfectly satisfied that there was no contagion among them. “I do not question Dr. Rosenau’s abil- ity or judgment,” he said, “but as the State Quarantine Officer, I must see for myself.” Yesterday morning Dr. Blue, the United States marine surgeon, in charge of the National quarantine tug Steinberg, steamed over to Aneel Island. He did not go ashore, but talked with Dr. Rose- nau from the deck of the vessel. He was informed by Bosenau that it was a case of varioloid and thatthe Chinaman had been discovered when the eruptions had appeared on his face. He was imme- GENERAL WADE HAMPTON. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1896. tine station was established on Angel Island and surgeons and nurses detailed to attend to people. or patients detained there. “The National quarantine officers are not under the orders of the State guarantine officers, but they are to co-operate with them, and their common work is to pre- vent the coming of disease to this port. I hardly think the State quarantine office will seek to obstruct the landing of people that have been detained at the National quarantine station, especially when the medical officer of the station decides that they are absolutely free from disease. It would be unbecoming to do so, and, more- over, create needless confusion.” In e short time an important change will be made at the Anzel Island quaran- tine station. Tue disinfecting plant of the tug Steinberg will be placed in the huik Omaha, now moored off the station. Then the oid vessel will be towed to an anchorage near California City. Here all vessels not having clean bills of health will be taken, and during the period of their detention there they will be thor- oughly fumigated, with the belongings of the crew ani passengers. It is thought that this is a more effectnal way of de- stroying any possible germs of infection. Money for Emma Ashley. The unhappy condition of Emma Ashley has aroused the sympathies of & number of eiti- zens and one, who signs himself as “A San Jose Boy,” gives expression to his feelings in the following letter to THE CALL: “Find enclosed $5, to be used to the best in- terests of Emma Ashley, sister or child. Itis in admiration of the former’s noble conduet in sacrificing honor, home, bodily strength and all that humanity holds dear that she may lignten the burdens of her sister and help to sustain her offspring, thatlsm prompted to send this small testimonial. * ¢ * In case this money cannot be used for the purpose desired pass it over to the Florence Crittenton Mission.” S A Contest for a Swhrd. An interesting feature in the coming fair September next in aid of the new parish at old St. Marv’s College will be a contest for an elegant sword, to be awarded to the most popu- lar captain in the League of the Cross Cadets— that is, the captain receiving the highest num- Der of votes. The contest augurs well 1 be & lively one, s some companies have already entered the lists. This sword trophy will be one worthy the dignity of the captain who re- ceives it and of the company that will have the honor of presenting i HAMPTON ON HIS ROUNDS His Secretary Has Been Ap- pointed to Storm’s Place. Charles E. Thomas to Fill the Vacant Office of Clerk 1o the Rail- road Commission. Generat Wade Hampton, United States Railroad Commissioner, arrived in the City yesterday morning from the East on his annual tour of inspection of the Government-aidea railroads. General Hampton, although 78 years of age, is looking quite hearty and declares that his general health is good, although he has been suffering from the effects of a wound received during the late war and which necessitated at the time the ampu- tation of a portion of one of his lower limbs. Accompanying General Hampton is Dr. B. W. Taylor of Columbus, S. C., Captain R. Lowndes of Charleston and his private secretary, Charles E. Thomas. * Dr. Taylor and Captain Lowndes were old army officers on the staff of General Hampton during the war. Dr. Taylor was first a staff surgeon, but was later promoted to the position of medical director of the cavalry corps of the Army of North Virginia. General Hampton is one of five officers of his rank now surviving out of twenty- five at the close of the war. The party will remain here several days and then run south to look at the roads in that direction. They will return here and go to Tacoma, going back East over the Northern Pacific. General Hampton says there is nothing to note specialiy as the result of his ob- servations in advance of his routine réport, which is a voluminous document. He says diately isolated and .the other passengers fumigated. If any more cases are found they will be treated in like manner. *‘While a varioloid case is only a mild form of the disease,” said he, “an un- vaccinated person may ecatch genuine smallpox from the contact. But as all of these passengers were vaccinated at Yoko- hama almost three weeks ago, nothing more serious than varioloid can appear among them. This man undoubtedly had the mild fever oi varioloid when the China came in, but, of course, ‘he would not acknowledge being 1!i, and it was only when the pustules appeared that the pres- ence of the disease couid bes detected. “In regard to Dr. Chalmers’ visit to the island I can understand why he was re- fused permission to inspect the quaran- tine station. No person, noteven a pay- sician, may go there and return. If the President of the United States should, officially, visit a quarantine station he would be detained there. Dr. Rosenau, the surgeon in charge, never leaves the island when there are people in quaran- tine, and although I am under his orders and closely associated with him I do not land there. If I did so now, I should simply be detained there with the rest. “Dr. Chalmers and the public need have no fears reg: ng Dr. &uzun’- ability to detect coniagious disease or handle it when it comes. There is no physician in the United States move thoroughly ac- quainted with smallpox and cholera than he. After years of experience with these epidemics he is ceriainly able to tell whether that Chinaman at the quarantine station has varioloid, measles or hives notwithstanding Dr. Chalmers’ fears, ‘At the request of the Congressional delegation of this State a National quaran- he finds the roadbeds in good condition. He has not had the time to examine the shops. Since leaving Washington Charles E. Thomas, who has served General Hamp- ton as his private secretary since the lat- ter’s appointment to the office of Railroad Commissioner, has been promoted tothe chief clerksnip of the commission at Wash- ington. The sudden death of Francis E. Storm recently in this City left the place vacant.

Evening Classes of Drawing to Be Es- tablishe the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. The Ban Francisco Art Association, with a view to encourage and foster art, will in- augurate evening classes of drawing from the antique and fife at the opening of the August term of the school year. John A. Stanton will be in charge. These classes will be established for the benefit of all those following artistic pur- suits, and who are unable to take the regu- lar day course. Teachers in the public schools can avail themselves of the oppor- tunity of obtaining a knowledge of the most approved methods in art instruction. It is fancied that architects. lithographers, engravers and all those who follow the ap- plied arts may welcome the formation of these classes. 4 Young men and women who have leisure in the evening may deem it advisable or find it agreeable to acquire a knowledge of drawing as an accomplishment. The pu- pils of the evening classes may avail them- selves of all the privileges to which stu- dents of the school are entitled and will be permitted to enter all competitions. he terms are moderate—$3 per month or $10 per term for the antique class, or $5 per month and $16 per_term for the life class. The first term will open August 1 and close December 15. Classes conyere Monday, Wed nesday and Friday evenings. LB LI A Frenchman’s Estate.

Joe Gam, the Chinese Merchant Whose Life Is Valued at $500 by the High- binders, and One of His Guards. he refuses to see any visitors, his em- ployes going so far as -to deny that the person referred to lives there. At 740 Commercial street is another man, full 5 feet 10, who trembles when the front door suddenly opens and who denies his identity to all strangers. The first person referred to is Joe Gan, keeper of a Chinese liquor-house, and the second Lee Mee Toy, proprietor of a gen- eral store. Somebody—just who is not definitely known—has offered a reward of $500 for the death of either of these men, or $1000 if both die by a murderer's hand. So frightened are these men that not for the whole world would they show them- selves on the street at night time, and even under the glare of the noonday’s sun the v trust themselives in their own domi- ciles only as far as the glass doors which lead to the busy thoroug hfares outside, It seems strange th at such things could exist in a civilized community, yet one | has only to attempt to see either of the two persops named to prove its correct- ness. It is generaliy supposed that police- men patrol Chinatown, and incidentally keep a watchful eye on such people, bat they are either not doing this or the Chi- nese entertain a greater fear of the hatchet- men than respect for the ability of the blue-coated gentle men to protect them. The cause of this unseemly condition of affairs is found in an internal warfare which bas been going on in the Kong Chew asylum for the last three weeks. At that time Lee Lun Goon, a Chinese only fwelve months from the Flowery King- dom, was elected president of the Kong Chew asylum. His cause was espoused by Lee Yip Duck, omeof the most power- ful merchants in Chinatown. His infla- ence was sufficient to cause the election of Goon. The recent importation did not secure the presidency without a struggle, how- ever. Joe Gen and Lee Mee Toy bitterly opposed him, claiming that the asylum needed a man who was femiliar withlocal conditions. Goon, according to their idea, did not fill the bill. In any event, the an- tagonism of Gan_and_ Toy aroused the enmity of Lee Yip Duck. The latter’s anger became unbearable when the two merchants went on the bond of a Chinese accused of robbery, and who, it may be stated, had opposed the presidency of Lee Lun Goon. An attéempt was made to oust the offeuders trom the Kong Chew asy- lum, but the effort failed. Then it was that somebody offered a re- ward of §500 for the head of eituer Gan or Toy, or $1000 for both. Lee Yong-and Lee Yim were also placed under the ban, the :?‘:68! for the death of either being fixed at Sunday night Lee Tie was murdered on Waverly place, Ock Wah being arrested some hours later and accused of the crime. Tie is a cousin of Lee Mee Toy and a mem- winting a new clerk, telegraphed to ashington his wishes in the matter, with the result that when Mr. Thomas returns he will enter upon the duties of the office. THE STORE ENLARGED. Notable Improvements in H. Summer- fleld & Co’s Clothing Estab- lishment. The clothing honse of H. Summerfield & Co., 822 10 830 Market street, has just com- pleted some very important improvements in their store, and it is now one of the handsomest as well as the largest clothing stores on this coast. They have enlarged the place and the store now runs clear through to Bllis street. They have a stock fully in keeping with the splendidly ap- pointed storeroom, and they are at pres- ent offering special inducements in prices at what they term their “alteration sale.” Their stock is all hfl' on one floor, and those shopping:at this establishment do not have any stairs to ascend to reach any department. ber of the Kong Chew asyium. The sus- pected murderer is a member or the same association. It will be seen, therefore, that the fight is purely one of the Kong Chew asylum people, and not of the Sam Yups and See Yups, as first supposed. Last night the Clnneu Mercnants’ As- sociation held a meeting at wuich it was determined to make an effort to find the man or men who offered the reward for the death of Gan, Toy, Gong and Yim. They are satistied it emanated from the supporters of Lee Lun Goon, the - dent of the Kong Chew asylum. They believe that the death of Tie was prompted by a desire to get back at Gan and Toy, and incidentally kill off the man who haa opposed Goon. It is belhieved that more than one man was concerned in the mur- der of Tie.” The Chinese Merchants’ As- sociation is now bending its energies in discovering the second and possibly third man. . Ock Wah, tbe Chinese highbinder charged with the murder of Lee Tie, was arraigned before Juige Joachimsen yes- verday morning and his preliminary ex- amination was set for next Tnesday. The Chinese merchants have great con- THEATRICAL NEWS. | Opera, Drama and High-Class Vaude- ‘ville Keep Places of Amuse- ment Well Filled.. Ambroise Thomas’ romantic opera “Mignon”’ was given last night at the Tivoli, and its intricate harmonies were perhaps never before heard to such ad- vantage on this coast. To-night there will be a special bill by way of a celebra- tion of Gustav Hinrichs’ silver jubilee as a director. *I Pagliacei” will be put on the boards, the orchestra rendering selections from “Hansel und Gretel” between the acts. Itlsalsorumored that the veteran director will be the recipient of a suitable testimonial from a number of his friends | and admirers, Miss Margaret Craven reappeared last night on the Columbia stage in ‘“Moths,”” taking the role of Vera Herbert. The voung lady had no reason to complain at the reception accorded her, the audience being large and enthusiastic. Her acting shows the result of additional experience since her appearance here last season, and her support being good the play went off well. It will run during the remain- der of the week. The Baldwin Theater will reopen for its regular season on Monday evening next. It would be difficult to find an attraction better suited for such an‘ occasion than Charles Frohman’s Empire Theater Com- pany of New York, which will arrive here to-night preparatory to opening at the Baldwin on Monday in Clyde Fitch's comedy success “Bohemia,” which ran for over 100 mgm.s at the Empire Theater. Mr. Frohman’s company now includes among its members Viola Allen, Annie Inish, 1da Conquest, May Robson, Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, Jane Harwar, Ellen Gail, Katherine Mulkins, Lottie Nicholl, William Faversham, J. E. Dodson, Robert Edeson, Ferdinand Gottschalk, E. Y. Backus, W. H. Compton, J. E. Finney, Charles Young, Walter Day and George Pierce. The sale of seats for the engage- ment commences this morning. At the Grand Opera-house “Irish In- spiration” is proving very attractive. Em- mett Sheridan is winning laurels as the bero, while the rest of the cast does good work. The play will run during the re- mainder of the week, if not for a longer time. ““Carmen” is in its last nights at the California Theater, and will be seen for the last time on Bunday evening. The farewell week of L. R. Stockwell’s players and Rose Coghlan and Frederick Warde will be inaugurated on Monday night with a magnificent scenic revival of ‘““The Mer- chant of Venice,” with Mr. Warde as Shy- lock and Miss Coghlan as Portia. “The Merchant of Venice” will be given for one week only, and on Monday, August 3, the regular season of the Celifornia Theater commences with Chauncey Olcott and his company in a fine production of the Irish comedy drama, “Mavourneen.” The sale of seata for *The Merchant of Venice’ commences this morning. The Orpheum’s unusually fine bili has kept the audiences large, last nights’ attendance being unusually so. What with Biondi, Professor Macarts circus and many other attractive features it seems hard to realize that the admission prices are s0 low. At the Casino the Marlo-Dunham family with a host of ventriloguists, wire-walkers, acrobats and singers unite in presenting a most meritorious vaudeville prorramme, The attendance is visibly growing from week to week and the management is to :ie congratulated on its cholce of attrac- ons. LET BYGONES BE BYGONES, So Say the Members of the First Congregational Society. They Hope to Reassemble for Worship in the Church Within a Short Time. ““The Crucifixion Considered in Its Prac- tical Bearings Upon the Christian Life”— sucn was the subject at last night’s prayer- meeting of the First Congregational Society. The “‘opposition” of other days seéms now a half-forgotten name; and the church members are gradually coming together once more. No special notice is taken of returning members. They are greeted cordially as members of the congregation, who have a right to be present at its meetings, and whose presence should excite no remark. This state of things is having the happy effect of breaking down any division in the membership, each individaul in the society apparently having taken a solemn vow to *‘let the dead past bury its dead.” Last night’s meeting, though unusually large, was unproductive trom a sensa. tional standpoint. Deacon Morse presided, and in a brief opening address described the Savior's agony and deathin terms as touching as they were scripturally and dogmatically accurate. *‘Let us in the midst of our trials and temptations lift our adoring gaze to that fair, manly form hanging betwixt earth and sky for our salvation,” said the deacon by way of a practical application of his theme. ‘‘Perhaps the divine mystery sur- rounding the doctrine of the atonement may be hard for flesh and bloou to com- prehend, but the yrandeur of that exhibi- tion of the boundless love of God for man must appeal to the most hardened heart. ‘‘The doctrine of the atonement is to be believed as a truth divinely revealed, but the spectacle of divine love exhibited to our gaze 1n the ineffable tragedy of Cal- vary’s mount is a truth of history fraught with many precious lessons for us all— lessons whose import will, if not resisted, diffuse through our lives a blessing which will consecrate and sanctify our every act and thought and word.” A number of hymns were sung and the Rev. Dr. Willey led in prayer. Dr. Guild, Deacon Dexter and other members made brief remarks upon the lesson of the even- ing, and with a good-night prayer the meeting ended. *“We nope to get back into the church soon,” remarked Deacon Dexter as he was leaving Golden Gate Hall, where the so- ciety still meets for the present; “but we can do nothing without the consent of the trustees. Several of them are out of town, and I suppose they will not hold a meeting until all of them are in the City.” "yI believe we will be in the church pretty soon,” was Deacon Morse’s opinion. **We are all of one mind in wishing by- gones to be bygones and in hoping that there may be no more discord among us. ‘When we have the church reopened we will try to find a pastor. ‘‘As yet we have taken no steps in that direction, and the statement that Mr. Dodge is in the 'East_looking for a pastor is unfounded. Mr. Dodge was asked to undertake that delicate mission, but de- cliaed, and is now in Europe. The talk regarding a certain Mr. Birch is also with- out foundation. The Rev. Mr. Birch, I understand, applied in some sort of a way for the poslition of pastor, but 1 have no reason to believe that his application will be entertained. Meanwhile we are doing our best, and who can do'more?’’ BRODERICK CALLS NAMES The Auditor Designates the City’s Chief Executive as a Fakir. A Lively Battle of Words at the Meeting of the Election Commissioners. “You’re a fakir,” said Auditor Broder- ick to Mayor Sutro yesterday morning during the meeting of the Board of Elec- tion Commissioners, and, as usual, the Mayor made no reply, and tte business of the meeting continued on its stormy way. The trouble rose over the efforts made by some of the old line Democrats to obtain a standing before the commission, something they have not been able to do since the party split up into factions and began an internal war. J. C. Nealon. J. A. O'Brien and Joseph Rothschild appeared to protest against the appointment of certain men who have been chosen election officers on the ground that they were not qualified. It was suggested that written charges be filed, and to_this the protestants agreed, but Auditor Broderick thought differently about it. He insisted that if such a course Was| K\lrsued the commission would never finish its work. Mayor Sutro attempted to interrupt, but the Auditor would not listen and snapped out: *“You have been talking to the gallery long enou:h. You eriticize a great deal but never do anything. You are a_fakir. Then the Commissioners decided to meet this evening to hear complaints against election officers and adjourned. The following officers for the Thirty: second District were appointed yesterda; Precinct 1—Inspector, Patrick Dillon (B.) 43 Federal; judges, William Flynn (D.), 627 Second, and Ro bert E.

An Interesting Debate Held on the Money Question. The regular meeting of the Howard Club was held at Pythian Castle Hall Monday evening. The membership has increasea to such an extent that the largest room in e Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. the hall was secured. The meeting Was called to order by C. E. Newman. J.T. Bonifield, one of the members, in & neat speeci: presented the president and the club with a handsome gavel, which _was ;n:g‘e from wood of the battle-ship Hart- [0] On behalf of the club Mr. Newman ac- cepted the gift in a few well-chosen re- marks. M. C. Dunn delivered an inter- esting address on the money question, which was highly appreciated. C. W. Colby, who has charge of the Drill Corps, exhibited several different styles of uni- forms to uniform the members. The club selected one for the coming campaign. Short speeches were made by H. Barlage, E. F. Jones, Frank Cornyn, H. W, Fraser and others. Thomas F. Duify introduced the following resolution which was read and adopted: WHEREAS, The administration of National affairs by the Democratic party and the bills of the Wilson-Gorman tariff-for-revenue-only plan has resulted in the utter ruin and demor- slization of the industries of America, and whereas, the principle of protection to Ameri- can labor and industries is now and has ever beer one of the fundamental principles of the Repbulican party; therefore b it olved, That the Howard Club, realizing the fact that a return to prosperity can only be secured by providing wavs and means for the employment of American labor, hereby soicit and earnestly Tequest the laboring classes of the City and County of San Franeisco to affiliate with itin 8 campaign which shall have for its fundamental object the protection to Ameri- can labor. WOMEN’S STATE CLUB. Mrs. Ballou Presided Over an Enthusiastic Assemblage of Republicans. Justice of the Peace Groezinger’s courtroom was crowded last evening with ladies belonging to the Women’s State Republican Club. Mrs. Addie L. Ballou, president of the club, and Mrs. Margaret J. Jones were kept busy handling a bunch of correspondence received since the last meeting from all parts of the country. Mrs. Alice Moore McComas of Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, wrote that a Woman’s Republican Club was about to be started in that city, to be called the Mrs. McKinley Club. Senator Perkins rezretted that business of importance would prevent him from being in attendance at the club entertain- ment, which will be held in Odd Fellows’ Hall on August 12. Major William McKinley regretted that distance and the press of important busi- ness would prévent him from paying Cali- fornia a visit this year. Colonel T. V. Eddy, president of the Phenix Club, entertained the meeting with one of his eloquent speeches, as did also Dawson Mayer, R. R. Duckworth and Ben McKinley. The membership roll of the club was in- créased by twenty-five new members, -monfi them being the mother of Benja- min L. McKinley and the niece of Gov- ernor William McKinley, Mrs. 1da Mc- Kinley Morse. NEW TO-DAY.
