SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-The
saloon passengers who arrived here
from Hongkong and Yokohama on
the steamer Gaelic two weeks ago,
and were placed in quarantine four
teen days, held an Indignation meet
ing upon their release and adopted
resolutions condemning the action OF
the Mayor and Board of Health OF
San Francisco, in detaining them
in quarantine, in view OF the fact
that the Gaelic was twenty-five
days at Sea and presented clean bill
of health upon her arrival here.
The resolutions advise all pas
sengers from Asia to avoid the port
of San Francisco. The passengers
also determined to send copies of the
resolutions to the Associated Press
and to the principal newspapers in
China, Japan and India. Mayor
Pond received cablegram to-day
from the British Governor of Hong
Kong, stating that smallpox is no
longer epidemic in that port, and it is
believed the Board of Health will
soon take action allowing passengers
OH China steamers to land upon ar
rival here, if the steamers present
clean bills of health. There are now
eighteen hundred passengers detained
in quarantine. the great majority of
whom are Chinese steerage passen-
gers.

SANITARY CONDITION OF FLORIDA,
Surgeon-Gen Hamilton TO-DAY
officially published the full text of the
reports on file in the Marine Hospital
Bureau, which based his statement of
last Saturday that late inspection at
Micanopy, Plant City and Barlow,
Florida. has proved the recent exist
ence of yellow fever there, and that
several other points in the southern
and western portions of the State
were looked upon with suspicion.
In an interview this evening with
reference to the subject, he said !:
Sin view of the Enthusiastically
violent attack on me by certain of the
Florida newspapers, have thought
it best to publish the full text of those
reports. 1t will be seen from peru
sal of them that l could have made a
more positive statement and then
kept within the limits OF the informs-
tion on file. l now learn that the
report OF DIR. Knight, who was detailed
by the Jacksonville Board of Health
states that there were two cases of
yellow fever at Plant City as late as
April oath. The reports as to Barlow
are not confirmed, but as to the other
points the original information seems
to have been correct. l regret ex-
tremely the circumstances that made
it necessary to publish the original
warning, but under the existing laws
it was my duty to other localities to
give them some intimation of the facts.
If their publication shall stir the Flor
ida authorities to proper sense of the
obligation they owe the other States
OF the Union, by prompt vigorous
sanitary measures and the establish
ment of a State Board of Health, the
publication will result in great good to
them, and to all the personal abuse OF
the Surgeon General, while it may be-
an amusing diversion to Florida, the
newspapers will neither clean uptheir
villages nor arrest the yellow fever,
nor restore confidence in themselves.
The reports fill about four pages of
the weekly abstract Of Sanitary Re-
port No. II. s'2t'lt

The Progress. [volume] (White Earth, Minn.) 1886-1889, 1888-03-24

The members of the Crookston
chamber of commerce evidently
think the Indians Of the Red Lake
and White Earth reservations have
no earthly use for pine land or
pine timber! Guess the Indians
won't think that way though, and
furthermore, it takes two to make
a bargain. Besides, our Crooks
ton neighbors should bear in mind
that the coming citizen is not
expected to forever be content
with the aboriginal surroundings
OF Wlgwams or bark houses, He
will want houses, barnes and sta
bles etc., and to build these he
must needs have lumber, and if he
should fail to make ample provi-
slons for this future need while he
has an opportunity of doing so, he
will be less wise than we think
him to be.

OF the foregoing preamble and rcsolu-

each OF our senators in congress, and
all Others interested, and that thew be
respectfully urged to secure the pass.
Of said bill amended as above recon-
mended.
The Crookston chamber Of COM
merce has evidently taken action
without fully considering the sub
ject which it aims to regulate.
Nelson's Red Lake bill provides
for a diminished reservation, which
shall not include more than three
hundred thousand acres of land,
and within this reservation the
proposed allotments of land shall
be made, as we understand it, and
not Unfortunately throughout
the whole Of the country known
at present as the Red Lade reser-
walton. It is understood that all
the pine on the Red Lake reserve
ton is to be sold to the highest
bidder for cash, excepting that
within the proposed diminished
reservation. And if it is the aim Of
the Chamber of commerce to pre-
vent the allotment of pine lands
within the proposed reservation.
we are inclined to think that the
consent of the Indians to the cess.
ion of any part of the present res.
ervation cannot be obtained.
thereby delaying indefinitely, the
object Of the Nelson BILL.
