BIGGEST HOTEL In THE WORLD.

Eeinn Ona NJ NYarat

1t Also Has the Further Distinction OF
Being One of the Worst.
Edwin Ashley an English tourist who is
at the Grand Pacific, says that the largest
hotel in the world Is in South America.
Talking about the big house. he said:
"The Grand Quarantine Hotel at Flores
Island, at the mouth of the River Plate. is
not only the largest in the world, but the
strangest. While the accommodations are
poor, the people will stop there. no matter
how anxious they are to get away. The
hotel combines an international boarding
house, military camp, prison and a sea-
side resort The sovereignty Of the
island is vested in the republic
of Uruguay. In the early months of the
year Rio de Janero is placed under n sani-
tary boycott by the people of the River
Plate, and not person is allowed to pass
Flores Island until he has been at sea at
least ten days. That accounts tor the big
boat-loads from 800 to 600 at time.
There are frst-class passengers, immi-
grants, and number of intermediate
classes. Upon arriving at the hotel the
crowd is assorted and packed away.
Packed is good word in this case. for you
are entirely at the mercy OF the manage
ment. If you make protest the officials
shrug their shoulders and say they are in
deed sorry, but they speak only the pure
Spanish language. They will put six or
seven in a room.
!" If you don't like that you can get out,
but you will soon return, for 1t is the only
place on the island where you can stop. A
permanent garrison is maintained on the
island, and it includes cnmmandant,
physician, Secretary of State. lighthouse
keepers, postmaster and telegraph OPP
orators Every morning during pleasant
weather tugboat comes down from Mon
tevideo with letters and provisions. When
norther is blowing those on the island are
placed on short rations.
Think of stopping at the biggest hotel
in the world and OF not being able to get
but one or two meals a day, with bananas
for one of the meals. l bad this experience
during storm when the tug did not arrive

"SENATOR " COUGHLIN.

The Distinguished Ball Iosser Arrives
in Sacramento.
Roscoe Coughlin arrived in Sacramento
this morning, and is now full-hedged
"Senator."
The gentle Roscoe is in splendid health
and spirits, and looks what he is-a ball
player from the ground up.
of course l am going to play with the
Sacramentos," he said to Bee reporter
this morning. There is nothing in all this
talk about me playing fast and loose with
the San Francisco and Sacramento mana
gers. The Sacramentos accepted my terms
and Manager Finn did'nt-and that's all
there Is to it. Fine had an entire week IN
which to accept my terms, but he haggled
and held back over difference between US
Of S25 per month. When he found that L
had agreed to come to Sacramento he tee-
graphed me that my terms were acceptable.
l never received dollar of advance money
from him. He did send telegraphic order
for $50 when it was too late, but l didn't
even go to the telegraph Office, and the or
der was recalled. / am not playing ball for
my health nor for glory. L make my living
at 1t. Sacramento offered me what | asked,

nant for Oakland last year, and will con-

Coughlin is glad TO get back, and seems
well pleased with his felow-playerS and
his surroundngs.-Sac Bee, July

A STERN CHASE.
Policeman Cook Runs Down and Cap

Policeman Cook Runs Down and Cap
lures Two Basket Thieves.
Officer Jesse Cook saw two youths named
Thomas 0'Keefe and Henry Brandon NOV
ing hurriedly down Ritch street at about 5
o'clock last evening. carrying wash
basket between them filed with clothing
Cook knew the highly respectable young
men and at once concluded that they had
no business to be transporting wash
basket IN that sort of way down that
street, so he started after them.
They evidently also thought that they
had no business with that basket, for upon
seeing Cook it suddenly became too heavy
for them to carry and their heels grew too
light for them to stand still. They dropped
the basket and ran, with Cook after them.
The officer was too fleet for them and
gathered them in. They were taken to the
Southern Police Station and booked on a
charge of petty larceny.

STREET CoaIMITTEE.

The Surveyors Fee for the Mission
Widening.
a special meeting Of the Street Commit
tee of the Supervisors was held yesterday
morning to receive the opinion of City and
County Attorney Flournuy with regard to
Surveyor Smiths charge for the survey Of
the lines of Mission street widening.
To DO this work City Surveyor Smith
proposed to charge $1,000, but a couple Of
the committeeman thought the sum rather
high and the opinion Of City and County
Attorney FlOurn0y was asked as to whether
nil. Smith is not required to DO the work as
part Of his duty under the salary OF $500 he
Is drawing annually by virtue Of his Office.
Mir. FlOurnoy stated that Mr.. Smith had
called upon, but that all accruing expenses
would have to be met by the board.
Mr. Smith stated that the proposed
widening of the street is for four miles,
and that along the entire distance monu-
ments were out OF position.
blr. Haley insisted that an engineer had
told him the work could be done for $500.
Surveyor Smith replied that he could not
possibly do it at that figure, ana that he did
E-+tslIeye the engineer who put it al that
figure knew the extent of the work to be
done.
Nj McEnerny stated that Mr.. Smith did
not expect to receive compensation for his
individual services, but thought that $1,000
would not pay for more than the expenses.
Supervisor Barry took exceptions TO leay-
Ing the matter SO loosely, and stated that
nothing should be done until Mr.. Smith
fixed the figure. After some discussion the
following resolution was adopted to be pre-
scented at the meeting Of the Supervisors:
E-soIred, That the City and County Surveyor
