The officials who order back a ship SO passed by

REPORTED CLASH ovEE FREIGHT SHIPS.
| There was a report current at Quarantine in
the evening that the first clash Of authority be
tween the Collector of the Port and Dr. jenkins
had come in dispute over four freight ships.
DR.. jenkins would not say anything about this
last night The story was that the four freight
ships had been passed as being all right by the
| Quarantine officials, but when examined by the
| Collector they were ordered back at once. ana
they are supposed to be now under the Quaran-
| tine officers charge.
Although politics has thus been allowed to
enter into the work of the Quarantine ofiiclals
the physicians have had, up to this time,
sufficiently high regard for their duty TO leave
nothing undone for the public safety, 50 iar rs
can be seen. Dr. Jenkins unquestionably has
worked extremely hard and he looks careworn
and tagged out. He has met his unwelcome
and trying duties cheerfuly and has worked
energetically for the public. The fact that even
| up TO this time, with only one infected ship In
| port, the labor necessary to protect New-fork
has been so arduous shows the great danger
which lies in the use of Quarantine as political
weapon when the danger becomes more grave,
as it may any hour.
| ACTION OF THE COLLECTOR.

answering inquiries from steamship agents ana
Others as TO The application of the Administration
