The system used was a combination OF
the Brush and Knight Bentley sys-

on underground conductors laid IN
conduits ike those of the cable road.
Cars were started aud stopped and re-

running is claimed to be greater than
that of the cable roads, and cost OF con-

from St. Johns, N. T., Saturday
evening. She steamed up the bay with
out any sign, salute or greeting In the
channel she passed the torpedo boat
Alarm and monitor Passaic, and ran up
alongside each vessel to allow EnIign
w, r. Chambers to speak few
words. When the Loeb Garry arrived
at the Navy Yard Ensign Chambers
made his report to Commodore
Fillebrown without evidence OF
the slightest demonstration OF public
welcome. The LochGarry has sixteen OF
her plates bulged and six broken. Several
Of her butt straps are slightly started,
and there the extent of the injury ends
Captain Robert Jones said however, it
would not have taken a much greater
pressure of ice to stave in some OF her
plates and caught a leak. Commodore
Fillebrown said the steamer could prob
ably be repaired in five or six days. She
returns with about l50 of 500 tons OF
coal she took out. The Loeb Garry

CHICAGO ILL, July rs.
DR.. c. c. O'Donnell, of San Francisco,
who is here on his way East on an
anti-Chinese mission, is accompanied by
two Chinese lepers, whom he proposes
to exhibit as an illustration of the hor.
rors of leprosy and the dangers menacing
the people from association with a race
which the doctor claims has imported the
disease. He promises to bring the lepers
out of the cattle car in which they came
from San Francisco, and where they are
still Gagged, and hold them up to public
gaze. The doctor is an ardent advocate
of the prevention of Chinese immigration,
and warns the country that it is counting
fearful death for its people in permit
ting a leprous race to remain among
: them. The Doctor said:
"It seems like curious way of propa-
eating information to thus make an eXhi-
btion of lepers, but we people in Cali
fOrnia are in earnest about this thing,
and will leave no means untried until we
waken the people of the East to the true
sense of the horrible peril which threat
ems us in the presence of the Chinese.
There are to-day 1000 lepers in San Fran
cisco, and the disease is rapidly spread
ing. 1t attacks all ages and all national
tiles; no one is safe fromit. The spread
OF the disease has always followed Chi
nese immigration and we feel that we
must either fight it now or else have it
devastate our fair country, and California
is too fair country to give up without
struggle"
"What remedy do you propose?"
'The utter extinction of all Chinese
immigration by the passage Of strict laws.
The present one is imperative, as it al
lows merchants and students to land,
and eight thousand merchants and
students have landed in San Francisco in
the last month";
