THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1901. LEPROSY WiLL END THEIR LNES Attendants at Molokai Have Small Chance of Escapsa. The Official Report Describes Conditions at the Island. e WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—There are now X9 iepers and 164 clean persons at the| Molokai leper settlement in Hawall, ac- ding to a report just received from ef Quarantine Officer Cofer, in charge | of the Marine Hospital work in Hawall. | All these are housed, fed, clothed and governed for $30,000 a year. The report praises the hopeful and cheerful way in which these poor people resign themselves to their fate and points out that such contentment can thrive only on a comfortable mode of life and good treatment. Surgeon Cofer reports | that he made careful inquiries as to the chances of the infection of the clean peo- | ple working among the lepers, and that | the general opinion was that in time they | would become lepers. In the last ten years, however, only ten clean residents have become lepers. The Board of Health has initiated a new system for preventing the lepers and their relatives and friends from embrac- | ing and kissing each other by marching | the visitors immediately from the steamer landing to a corral with a double | fence. The friends are compelled to re- | main inside this inciosure and the lepers | ather around and talk through the bars. | Visitors are permitted at any time under | his system, Instead of only once a year, s formerly. The results of known ex- posure to leprosy show an uncertainty as to the chances of individual infection, which makes the disease one of the most difficult to operate against. Women are said to be less liable to it than men. The | sldest three patients at the settlement ! srrived in 1874, 175 and 1878, respectively. | The recruits to the settlement each | year during the last decade range from | 182 in 189 to 85 in 1900, showing a gradual | Secrease, despite the fact that the hunt for lepers through the islands never be- Tore has been so vigorous. | ESTIMATES ARE MADE FOE MARE ISLAND'S YARD Becretary Long of the Navy Gives | Figures as to the Probable Cost.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—The Northwestern istian Advoca the organ of the Methodists in the West, in to-day’s issue ; D states that of the 119 conferences of the church, 103 have voted on the constitu- tion adopted at the General Conference | held in Chicago last May. The vote tos| day is: For, 7378, and against, 2450. This ives only seven more than the three- ourths vote necessary to adopt, but six- teen other conferences with about 900 votes are yet to be heard from, and the Advocate says that leading churchmen Tealize a change of sentiment in any ore conference may change the history of the organization. “If the conmstitution is rejected,” the Advocate continues, “‘the reef upon which it will be wrecked will be that of the r Jation of women to the governing bodies. i 5, The new constitution, among other | = things, authorizes the election of women to the Gemeral Conference.

A large fleet of deep-water ships got away yesterday. Among them were the British ships Celtic Chief, Brussels, Menydown and Australian, all bound for Queenstown; the American ship Henry B. Hyde for New York and the barks Martha Davis and C. D. Bryant for Hawail. Tuesday night Captains Jones of the Celtic Chief, Cerlez of the Brussels, Evans of the Manydown and Jolliff of the Aus- tralian met on the floor of the Mer- chants’ Exchange. All of them were to sail with the morning’s tide and the talk was of the run home. Finally a sweep- stake of $50 a ship was made and an agreement reached that the captain of the last vessel home is to pay for a dinner for the quartet. The vessels were all bunched off the lightship at 10 a. m. yesterday and the start was as good as any in the re- races. The Brussels was quickest away, but when last seen the four were almost together. The Celtic Chief has a cargo of 55,999 centals of wheat, valued at $55,575, shipped by Baifour, Guthrie & Co.; the Brussels has 32,285 centals of barley, valued at $29,- 742, shipped by J. J. Moore & Co.; the Manydown has 52870 centals of wheat, Valued at $76,665, shipped by L. Kauffman, and the Australian has 76,759 centals of wheat, valued at $75,585, shipped by Ep- pinger & Co. Harbor Commissioners Meet. Broadway wharf No. 1 is to be rebullt. For a long time it has been in poor con- dition and yesterday the Harbor Commis- sioners decided to make it 800 feet long and thoroughly modern in every respect. Captaln T. A. Nerney of the Naval Militia asked for a more suitable berth for the training ship Marion. He pointed out that the Arctic Uil Works, where the vessel is now tled up, was out of the way. The chief wharfinger was in- structed to find another location for the Marion. The contract for repairing the State tug Governor Markham was let to J. Ham- mond for $460. All bids for building sheds over the car ferry slips at Lombard street were re- jected, as the board considered them ex- cessive. ek sy River Steamers in Trouble. The General Frisbie and the Monticello, both of the Vallejo line, were laid up for repairs vesterday. While on her way to Vallejo the Frisble must have passed over a floating pile, as that is the only thing that can account for the loss of two blades of her propeller. Captain Hatch gut her back to the wharf and at once telegraphed his agent at Vallejo to send the Monticello down. On the way = up, running on the Frisble’s time, the Monti- cello ran on a mud bank near Vallejo and lost two of the blades of her propeller. She also was got back to San Francisco and was put on the drydock. Lucklly she had a spare propeller aboard and it was fitted on in time for her to take up the 8§:30 p. m. run yesterday. The Frisbie will g0 on the drydock to-day and will prob- ably be in commission again Saturday. The Overdue Fleet. The American ships Roanoke and Bens jamin F. Packard were added to the over- dues yesterday. Both of them are from Norfolk and the underwriters are afraid of the coal cargoes. The Roanoke is out 126 days for San Francisco and 2) per cent is being pald on her, while the Packard is out 127 days for Honolulu and only 15 per cent is being paid on her. The rates on the remainder of the fleet are as follows: Afon Alaw—From Swansea for San Francisco, 15§ days oug to-day; § per cent. La Tour d’Auvergne—From Swansea for San Francisco, 153 days out to-day; 8 pér cent. Edouard Detailie—From Cardiff tor San Fran- clsco, 155 days out to-day; 8 per cent.

SEATTLE, Oct. 16.—The steamer Dol- phin arrived in port this morning from Lynn Canal with news of an accident to the steamer Cottage City on Monday morning just before enfering Charlotte Sound on her downward trip. The Dol- phin brought down 211 passengers and treasure amounting to nearly $750,000. Purser McClinton of the Dolphin relates the story of the Cottage City’s mishap as follows: “The .Cottage City lett Ketchikan twen- ty-five hours ahead of us and the Dirigo sixteen hours later. The latter vessel overtook the Cottage City at the entrance of Charlotte Sound on the night of the 14th. Upon inquiry the Dirigo found that the other steamer had met with an acci- dent and wanted a tow to Seattle. Aid was promptly given and the two steamers should reach port by to-morrow evening. The steamer was disabled by the break- ing of her thrust shaft. ‘he sea was quite smooth at thd time and while ths vessel was adrift for twelve hours, from 10 o’clock in the morning until the.same hour that night, there was at no time any great danger. 3 PIRATE VESSEL PUTS OUT FROM FORMOSA Carries Chinese Who Will Be Thrown Overboard When Open Sea Is Reached. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 16.—According to advices brought by the Empress of Japan the autumn maneuvers of the Japanese army will take place on November 9 and on the following day there will be a re- | view of 15,000 troops before the Emperor. | The Japan Mail publishes a_statement |to the effect that Russian officers have been urging Korea to fortify the coasts of the peninsula and have offered to provide | money for the purpose. The Emperor of Korea invited the foreign representatives to _an entertain- ment to be glven October 23, when Lady Om will be introduced as the new Em- press. Lady Om was a slave girl rescued from captured pirates by the Korean court. The Toklo Asahi is authority for the statement that a pirate ship has left For- mosa under command of Mr. Okamu, a former officer of the Japanese army, and a crew of ten Japanese, including one former officer of the navy and ex-gend- armes and sub-offiters of the navy. There are also some Chinese om the vessel, the intention being, says the Asahi, to throw them overboard as soon as the vessel gets to sea. RAILROADS AT WAR OVER RIGHT OF WAY Employes of Companies in Colorado Have Battle and Tracks Are Torn Up. VICTOR, Colo., Oct. 16.—Seventy men employed by the Midland Terminal Ralil- road tore up the tracks used by the Shert Line over Stratton’s Independence mine property to-day and were engaged in laying Midland rails when Manager Shipman of the mining company rushed | tance, but no injuries of consequence were in- flicted. Both sides have secured injunctions and until an amicable settlement is effected ore shipments from the mine will be in- terrupted. The Midland laid rails to the ore house a year ago, but they were sup- planted by tracks for Short Line connec- tion a few months ago.

Scores of prominent Democr: lsé | however, were present from all parts of | the Stata to add their tribute and listen to_the eloquence of their leaders. Bryan's subject was ‘‘Moral Courage,” | and he took occasion to shower enco ums on the guest of the evening for notable display of that quality in 1596, the time of his withdrawal from the Re publican party to follow silver. He sald: | Some may be disposed to stamp the word “failure’” upon the political career of our dis- tinguished guest, but he has set an example that must weigh heavily on the side of civic | virtue. He has faced without flinching a fire as hot and hellish as ever came from canpon’s mouth, and he has won a victory greater and | more glorious than ever crewned the life of one | who fawned at the feet of power or bartered | away his manhood to secure an office. | Bryan did not Inject any politics into his speech, which was brief and directed largely to Towne. He continued: Great {ssues are at stake, great interests are | involved, even our civilization itself, and through 'us the civilization of the world. This nation is & world power; it has not acquired fts influence by war, but for a century its ideas have been permeating the worid and every cit- | ‘zen owes it to his country as well as to his generation and posterity to throw the weisht | of his influence on the right side of every pub- e question, BALSARROCH THE WINNER.
