TURE FROM THE CITY HALL STEPS.
Or. c. c. O'Donnell, the San Francisco man, sup
posed to have samples OF Chinese leprosy with him,
arrived here last evening and registered at the

OF speaking from the City Hall steps at half-past
four O'Clock this afternoon the Chinese fnmigra-
ton question. He said he had brought his leperS
here Ia freight car They would not be exhibited
would be granted .private view."
II was expected that ODonnell would apply to
the District Commissioners for permission TO hold
an open air meeting this afternoon, but he had
appeared up TO a late hour. Commissioner West
said that no one but scoundrel would bring cases
about having lepers he discredised his claim of
being phiianthropist, for no good cause was ever
advaneed 6y lying. Mr. Edmonds said that II DR..
O'Donneil had any lepers with him he would have
been put Into the jug In the first town he entered.
Ihere was no o0jecuon to his giving Information
talk to people In the street SO long he did not
obstruct the street.
THE POLICE DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF THE LEPERs.
II there are any leperS here, said Capt Vernon,
OF the police department, to-day, "they did not
come by the regular routes. They must have come
In by the underground road"
Or. ODOnnell has Travelled all the way across

lepers II he has them he must be q very shrewd
road men and the police all over the country

spected his effects. but found nothing more dam
gerous than portfolio filled with Photographs

Said, leg SO attacked will grow longer than the
other as well as larger in gfrth. This man was
insane and was sent TO the insane asylum where
he 1s still patient. There Is no liberation and
nothing infectious about this malady, although as
stated, 1t would be classed as ieprosy in the east
There the epers are set apart They live together,
many have Children, and often live to a good old
age"
SAN FRANCISCO AMUSED.
