TO LIFT QUARANTINE.
But Not Before Victoria Has
Smallpox Under Control.
BOUNDARY PATROL AT BLAINE,
Vancouver's New Cases Came From VIC
toria, and the Sentiment Is Against
Admitting More Infected Persons.

the United States consul at Victoria is that it is
safe for Tacoma to remove quarantine against
Victoria there being no new cases there.

the storm has come the calm, and the streets
tonight are in appearance strong
contrast to last night The excite
ment OF yesterday has given way to
cool determination, and though Mayor Cope
and other officials have decided to go to Vic
toria with the sheriff, the citizens almost to
man are opposed to them doing so. steamer
has been chartered to leave tomorrow evening
at o'clock, and between now and then strong
efforts will be made to have the plans altered.
Two new caaes OF smallpox developed last
night. Both were at the suspect station at
Deadman's island. One is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. c. H. stickIes, who
came from Victoria two days before she
was taken down. The other is A. Macdonald,
who came from Victoria ten days ago. This
new phase has shown more clearly than ever
the need of the quarantine. Another new
case has also developed at Brice's mill, at
Hastings. one of the places where the Yosemite
took passengers after being refused a landing
here. Two you 1g ladies named Glenn, who
were landed at Port Moody on the first
trip on which a quarantine was enforced
here are reported down with the smallpox at
Calgary, further showing the need of

the people of Vancouver have been called
