THE SAN FRA CISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 189! M MEDICAL. WELL DESERVED COMPLIMENT, The following editorial, printed in the American Journal of Health, of January 17th, the leading medical authority of America, will be found of interest to all of Dr. Sweany’s patients on the Pa- cific Coast. Coming as it did, un- solicited on the part of the great spe. cialist, the compliment is all the more | appreciative. The article shows that the reputation which Dr. Sweany has | earned, through his many vyears 'of | practice in this cit been recog- | nized by an unblased editor in the | greatest medical authority in the United States. “DISCRIMINATION IN THE SEI LECTION OF A PHYSICIAN.” | “Readers of the American Journal of | Health write us from various parts of the country asking as to the standing of this or that physician, to W m they are about to entrust their case, and re- | garding whom they wish to be assured | by an opinion from an absolutely un- biased source before they enter under a »ial treatment for their complaint. | In view of the fact that a large pro-| portion of ‘specialists have failed to | demonstrate th fitness in the lines| they have chosen to cover in their spe- cial practice, and that many advert ing physicians have little knowledge of | of medicine, it _is but the science atural that the public should seeK ihe ial columns of trustworthy health nals before 1g a specialist to t their s, which In many cases have d the 1 of the or- dinary medical practitioner. “Recently we have sived inquiry from the v i an Francisco, con- cerning Dr. Sw who practices in that ple at rket street.

Major General Merritt is to be de- tached ‘from duty as - »mmanding offi- cer of the Department of the East and assigned to command the army. Major General Shafter is to be re- lieved from command of the Depart- ment of California in case General Miles should ‘be given that detail and assigned to command the Department of the East. President McKinley and his Cabinet will seriously consider to-morrow the advisability of making these changes. Though the decision may be reached to make them, action will not be taken until the President has received the re- port of the War Investigating Commis- sion. This is the status of the case of General Miles to-night. So complicated is it with important national conse- quences, so far-reaching will be the ef- | fect of the action upon the country and the President is pro- gathering precedents to fortify which he will adopt. There is now lying on his desk at the White House a mass of infor! tion dealing with the action of his decessors in cases of similar trouble. the army, that the policy 'On the President’s Programme Are Some denges That Will Cause a Great Sensation - Throughout the Nation. At the War Department copies of in- terviews authorized by General Miles during his Porto Rican campaign and the statement he gave out immediately upon his return to New York, and of interviews he has since given on the beef question, and finally his contra- dictory recommendations regarding plans of campaign and movements of troops which he submitted to the Presi- dent and Secretary of War during the war. President McKinley is greatly wrought up at the latest evidence of General Miles’ insubordination. It was hoped in administration circles that the President having brought General Tagan to account for his improper lan- guage would cause General Miles to de- cline to make any further statements to the press. The President was quite willing to let General Miles continue his beef investigation, for he proposed to adopt the findings of the War Commis- sion as final and conclusive. But he deeply feels the action of .the major general commanding in goinz to New York and in making any charges that the War Department fed poisoned beef to the army during the war, such as were credited to- him. The President feels that in so doing General Miles not only reflected on the Secretary of War but reflected upon him as President of the United States and the ~o.amander- in-chief, and he does not propose to tolerate what administration officials term such gross insubordination. In relieving Major General Miles, the President, it has been shown'to him, will simply be following in the footsteps of President Lincoln, who relieved Gen- erals Scott, McDowell and McClellan from command of the army. General Miles’ friends admit he can be relieved from his present duty, but they con- tend that he cannot be subordinated to any other officer, as would be the case if he were placed in command of a de- partment, should Major General Mer- ritt be assigned as commanding gen- eral of the army. But action by the President looking to the detachment of Geéneral Miles from ‘his present duty will be in accord with the wishes of a number of Senators and - Representa- tives, who have called at the White House and impressed upon the Presi- dent the advisability of taking such a step. It developed to-day that Secre- tary Alger suggested to the President that Major General Merritt be " as- signed to command the army. This action has caused a great deal of comment, especially in view of the well known enmity which has existed between General Alger and the com- manding general of the Department of | the East since the Civil War. But while General Merritt was in Washington on | duty as president of the court which tried General Eagan, Secretary Alger invited him to his home on several oc- casions with the result that a reconcili- ation has been effected. General Miles will be sent as far from Washington as possible, and he will probably be given the command of the Department of California, while General Shafter’s name is suggested for command of the Department of the East, to replace General Merritt. STORM RETARDS THE HORSE SHOW Chilly Blast Sweeps the Tents. FIRST NIGHT OF THE AFFAIR HOBART'S STABLE SCORES FIRST VICTORY AT LOS ANGELES. which may be obtained | Although the Owner of the Winning Thoroughbreds Is Ill His Box Is Occupied by Well-Known Society People. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2—A dash of rain and a chilly wind which grew into | a storm caused a sudden collapse of the horse show for this day in jts eventful history. Not alone did the threatening clouds keep bejeweled dames at home and the escorts who would attend to | admire horses more than be admired, but the chilly blast which swept from the southwest played havoc with the tents and equipments. The canvas raised like a huge balloon as each blast swept under its edges, poles dangled in the .air, and as it receded jagged holes and rents were left as reminders of the sport of the elements. Electric lights were splintered and wires were twisted into shapeless confusion. No attempt will be made to clear away the | wreckage until all prospect of the con- tinuance of the storm has passed. The Hobart stable has scored first victory. When the bugle sounded for competitions the Hobart four-in-hand, Damrosch, Seidl, Monarch and Perform- er, attached to an elegantred body tally- ho, were champing bits with impatience to enter the ring. Behind them stood the Beywood stud four-in-hand, June Day, December Night, Lahcer and So- nata. They were to compete against Prince Fortunatus’ favorites. It was expected that the ¢ .sling young mil- lionaire would himself handle the rib- bons, but Hobart was ill, and Judge BE. D. Baylard mounted the coach. A round of applause greeted the Hobart horses as they canterel around the ring. When Ringmaster Graham af- fixed a streamer of blue ribbon to Siedl’s bridle, declaring the victory of the Hobart entry, the applause was deafening. Parrott’s four-in-hand went out of the ring wearing a red rib- bon. The awards have been made in the four following classes: Class %5—Horses in harness, practically sound. with good manner: hands, shown with appro Paragon, W. S. Hobart, first; Paquita, second; Peppita, third; both of the Bay Wood stud, entered by John Parrott.

Lawrence; second, Jennie Mc, Burfee and Book; third, Flor- etta Belle, Byron Erkenbrecher; fourth, Dewey, Dr. W. Hitchcock. Mr. Peter Martin has made himself great and unique. The boys were ready for Peter last night. Before a restrain- e | ing hand could be placed on him the Peter who was once great, broke loose from a party of convivial friends who were stowing away innumerable small bots, and had mounted the mettlesome polo pony, “Scrambled Eggs,” from the Hobart stable, and dashed into the ring. “Scrambled Eggs” is a jumper and he made things lively for Peter when he took the hurdies. Feather- stich, a stable mate of Peter’s mount, proved to be the neatest jumper and won the blue ribbon. - The directors of the Horse Show As- sociation are seriously considéring the advisability of meeting in solemn eon- clave and thanking the Hon. Péter D. Martin for rescuing their first night from the abyssmal depths of etiquette, good form and dullness. Owing to the sudden illness of Mr. Hobart, the Ho- barts did not occupy their box. Ho- bart so far has been the leading spirit of the horse show, and his friends re- gretted exceedingly that ne could not be pregent at the opening of the show. Mr. Hobart has a cold that threatens to develop into pneumonia. Those who occupied the ‘Hobart box were: Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler Cole, Mrs. Roy Jones and Mrs. A. C. Hamilton. Mrs. Cole's gown was completely hid- den by a white silk opera cloak, which was lined with a delicate shade of pink. Mrs, Jones wore a gown of olive green brocaded satin with a handsome cape L of green velvet. Mrs. Hamilton wore a NO PRECEDENT FOR LENIENCY So the Presiden pelled to App tence of Dismissal for Eagan.

VALLEY ROAD IS GIVING GOOD SERVICE TULARE, Feb. 2.—The Valley road is running their trains into Tulare and pas- sengers can now reach Bakersfield, Han- ford, Visalia, Fresno and Stockton over, that popular line. Passenger train 3 from Stockton reaches Tulare at 12:15 p. m., arriving at Corcoran Junction, where it conects with trains for Bakersfield and Hanford. Returning this train leaves Tulare for the north at 1:05 p. m. In addition to this splendid service an accommodation train is run both ways, thus giving the people excellent opportunity to reach all points on the system. An agent and one assistant are now em- ployed, who have temporary quarters in a boxcar, where they will hold forth until the new depot is completed. Workmen are putting the finishing touches upon the handsome new depot, which will be com- pleted in two weeks. This depot is one of the very best on the line, the company having made changes and improvements in the plan, making the cost to the road some $2000 more than other depots in the | valley. It will be remembered that when the Valley Road entered the field and asked for concessions in the matter of right of way Tulare did not hesitate, but went to work and secured these rights without any delay and without any con- demnation suits. Tulare did well by the Valley Road and now the road is in the position where it can return the favors received. 5 Tulare people are proud of the Valley Road, and are gving it a full share of the business. The Visalla and Tulare, whigh connects Tulare with the county seat, has reduced its fares to meet the tariff of the Valley line. Single fare over the V. and T. to and from Visalla is now 30 cents or round trip for 50 cents. FERAA s EXPANSION TALK TO THE ENDEAVORERS BOSTON, Feb. 2.—The eighteenth anni- versary of the founding of the Christian Endeavor Society was celebrated at Tre- mont Temple to-night by nearly 5000 peo- ple, representing the Christian Endeavor of New England. Rev. Dr. Francis F. Clark, founder of the society, was the special guest, and he made a.ringing ad- dress on ‘““The Attitude of the Young) Christian Toward_the Territorial Expan- slon of the United States.” John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, sent his greeting as follows: *“With re- rd to the territorial expansion of the nited States it would seem to me that the word to say to our young people is that they shouid recognize it as adding to the duties and responsibilities of the. good_citizen, It raises new problems in our Government of the people and for the people which can best be met by mclng them and_bringing. high purposes an hearty endeavor to their solution. “There is no reason why, while it ma; put upon our country new burdens an risks and expense, it should not result in the larger civilization of the world.

As a result of the conference which Robert P. Porter, the special commis- sioner ot President McKinley, has had with General Gomez, the latter cabled | to President McKinley this afternoon assuring him of his co<operation in disbanding the Cuban army and in dis- tributing among the Cuban soldiers the $3,000,000 appropriated for the purpose | of enabling them to return to their | homes. General Gomez also tele- | graphed to Major General Brooke say- | ing -he would accept the latter’s invita- | tion to go to Havana. ! The success of Mr. Porter’'s mission greatly simplifies the returning of the military Cubans to the pursuits of peace. In view of General Gomez's supposed prior attitude of hostility toward the | United States, Mr. Porter came here | clothed with absolute authority, and the tender of $3,000,000 was practically | a verbal ultimdtum. Had it not been accepted no more proposals would have been made. Mr. Porter made plain the purpose of the Government and was gratified at the ready response of Gen- | eral Gomez. The conference took place at the house here occupied by the | Cuban general as since coming to town. In brief, the compact is as follows: First—The Cuban officers in each prov- ince shall assist the American officers in distributing the funds. Second—That these officers shall at once | meet at some convenient point and de- vise when and where the settlements are | to'be made, and arrange any other de- tails. Third—That the sum paid to each man shall not be regarded as part payment of es due for service rendered, itate the disbandment of the | army as a relief of suffering and as an aid | in_getting the people work. | Fourth—The Cubans shall surrender | their arms to the Cuban Assembly or to | its representatives. Fifth—The committee on distribution shall use its best endeavors to distribute it among the population, so that all may secure work.

Marks had been drinking, and announced as he left his own saloon that he was going to die with his hoots on. He entered the Silver King saloon and threatened to shoot out the lights. ‘Words were passed and guns were drawn.

When the Barron will contest was settled by the payment of $100,000 to George Barron in trust several years ago, the attorneys for Barron were subjected to all manner of arguments to induce them to have F. V. Wri_ght made one of the trustees, with a view of securing this fat lump for the bank. In fact, it is said on the best of author- ity, Attorney Morehouse was informed that if the money was deposited in the Union Savings Bank the bank would pay $500 a month interest for the privi- lege of handling it. The tempting affgr was refused, the reason being, it is said, that the attorney had no confi- dence in a financial institution that would make an offer to pay such un- heard-of rates for deposits. It was by such - ~“isplay cf energy "and lavish promises that the bank se- cured a clientage larger by far than that enjoyed by any other bank in the city.

This is the bank’s side of the story. Howard has done an enormous busi« ness, but his methods have been fullv as reckless as those of the bankers with whom he dealt. He always paid | from an eighth to a quarter of a cent | more for fruit than any other shipper ;i in the business, but where his competi« tors usually paid cash he paid abouf 25 per cent down and gave his notes | for the balance, payable in from thirtv to sixty days or even six months. Th result in his case was as {nevitable a in the case of the bank. | 'That the failure will have a bad effec | on the legitimate banking interests of | the city is not feared, but many de: | positors who can ill afford to be de: prived of the use of their savings wil | suffer, and many of the stockholder: | who are financially unable to pay th | assessments that are sure to be levied/ will be practically ruined. 1 | That the bank received deposits at(es its suspension was a foregone conclu< sion cannot be denied, and it is possi ble that the directors may be held ac countable for keeping the doors of they institution open after they knew failure was certain. Affairs are in such a tan* gle that it is difficult to obtain a com- prehensive idea of the actual condition of the bank's assets, but it is certain that if forced to realize on them at short notice there would be little left for the creditors. The securities given by Howard con= sist principally of warehouse receipts for fruit and if this commodity is | thrown on the market prices will slump {at an alarming rate. A local syndicate | is being formed for the purpose of | handling Howard's holdings and if it is | consummated the situation, so far as | local shippers are concerned, will be greatly relieved. To-night there is a feeling of dread | that the devopments of to-morrow may | show matters to be in even worse | shape than they at present seem. New Librarian of Congress.
