WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The government
officials feel satisfied that they will be able
to prevent the bringing of cholera into this
country from European ports. They have
taken, they say, every precaution to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. They still
regard the situation as one requiring strin-
gent methods, and these they believe they
have adopted. Yesterday afternoon there
was consultation held between Secretary
of State Foster and Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Spaulding. Later they sent
for officials of the marine hospital bureau
and discussed the question OF an absolute
quarantine against vessels plying between
this country and the infected ports of
Europe.
Wants Absolute Quarantine.
1t was not deemed necessary at this
time to take such action, but il is more
than likely that it will be done before
many days. There is at least one official
who strongly urges an absolute quaran-
tine, and he thinks it ought to be ordered
Mt once. Speaking on this yesterday, he
said: "It is thirly-seven years since the
United States have been visited by Asiatic
cholera and these who remember it do not
want another experience with the dreaded
disease No vessel should be allowed to
enter an American port from any port
where cholera prevails and no question of
inconvenience of tourists should enter into
the matter. 1t is not too late now
to act, but it may be in few days"

der of the Iron Hall.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. PC. A dispatch
from William 5. Ellenberger, of Chicago,
to receiver Failey yesterday states that
Supreme Justice Somerby, of the Iron
Hall, is in that city and has called a meet
ing of the order is there. Ellenberg is an
officer of one Of the Chicago branch of the
order, and the dispatch is doubtless in
teLded to disclose Somerby's movements
to the officers of the court here. Account
ant Walker said that he knew that Som
erby intended going to Chicago, where he
expected to consult with w. X. Delano,
a deputy justice and have him assist in
the efforts to hold the Illinois and west
ern branches. He says that the plan of
Somerby and the other supreme officers is
to notify all the branches not to pay a
cent to Receiver Failey, but to forward
the assessments to him.
No Letters for the Receiver.
Nearly a thousand letters had accumu-
lated at the postoffice when the receiver
called for them Thursday, but the post
master refused TO turn them over under
the order of the court. While the great
bulk of the letters were addressed to the
Iron Hall officers, it was clear that they
related to the business of the order, but
the postmaster doubted the legality of the
order for the transfer of private mails to
the receiver and telegraphed to the post
master general for instructions This
afternoon reply came saying that the
court had exceeded it's authority and the
mail must be. delivered to the persons to
whom it was addressed. Somerby's pri-
vate secretary was notified of the decision
and the mail addressed to Somerby was
turned over to him.

2z9o Difference
The Royal" the Strongest and
Purest Baking Powder.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-Yorl Board of HEALTH the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent. greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth over
SO cents.
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you
are charged the correspondingly lower price.

The American Bar Committee on Viol-
O liens.

The American Bar Committee on VOL
ence to Aliens.
SARATOGA, y. ", Aug. 26.-At yester-
days session of the American Bar associa-
ton, the report of the committee on inter
national law rs to whether ANY legisla-
lion 10y congress is desirable and practic-
able to give the courts of the United
States jurisdiction over criminal prosecu-
tions for acts of violence to the persons or
property of aliens committed by citizens
of the United States" was read The con-
illusions set forth are concurred in by all
the members yet heard from, constituting
a majority; no dissent has thus far been
communicated. The committee recon-
mends the passage of the following reso-
luton: "That in the opinion of this
association it is unnecessary and mex
pedient that there should be any legisla-
ton by congress to give to the federal
courts jurisdiction of crimes against the
persons and property of aliens in any case
in which such jurisdiction does not exist
as to similar cases in which citizen is the
injured party"
Quotes the AngIo-Saxon Principle.
One objection to the enactment of such
a law urged by the committee (which if
not constitutional is at least fundamental,
is that this legislation violates the ancient
principle of Anglo-Saxon liberty, which
may be termed the localzation of crime
with respect to trial and punishment.
From the earliest times, trial by vicinaSe
was the Englishman's birthright. 1t was
not surrendered when the prosecution
was transferred from the lords paramount
to the crown. The accused was not
brought TO the judges in London, but the
judges went down to try him at his home,
and he was entitled to a jury of his neigh
bors."
Says It's Newspaper Scheme.
The committee continues: at is impos-
sible to controvert the fact that this agita-
ton in favor of federal Legislation origi-
mated, not in the thoughtful consideration
of lawyers and publicists, but in ephemeral
newspaper discussion, which, useful as 1t
is, must of necessity be impulsive, and
upon such subjects serve the purpose
rather of suggestion than conclusion The
suggestion made by the president is of
course entitled to the utmost respect both
by reason OF his high office and also of his
acknowledged capacity as statesman and
lawyer. There is however, nothing in the
message which goes beyond calling the at
tention of congress to the subject"
A Summary of Objections.
In summarizing the objections to such
legislation the committee says that such
outrages as that at New Orleans have
occurred in the past, and such legislation
has never been suggested before, and that
but six cases have ever occurred; that for
eign nations have only demanded indem-
nifty and not punishment of the assailants;
that all complaints of the CHI aracter under
discussion have been easily settled, and
that the method adopted in this country
of dealing with such cases is precisely
analogous to that adopted in England.

STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

Politicians promises are like pie-crust-
easily broken, after the election is secure
So wouldn't it be well, in case Mr.. Allen
needs about two votes to insure an elec.
ton, to see if Grays harbOr can get a
pledge or two in our own behalf2 Grays
harbor has not played very shrewdly with
the Sound politicians-always lending
them hand, and, thus far, getting moth
ing IN return. This is not business. The
Grays harbor people gave Squire his cleo
ton; the southwestern combination gave
McGraw the nomination for governor, and
now we are expected to make Mr.. Allen IS
return possible and sure. What has he
done, and what will he do for Southwest
ern Washington ?-Hoquiam Washing
tonian.
Several papers of the state have spoken
kindly of Hon. J. H. Long, of this city, as
candidate for United States senator to
succeed John b. Allen. Judge George
Turner, of Spokane, is the only avowed
candidate besides Senator Allen and the
former seems to stand no show now that
the state female suffrage company, linn
tied, has declared its hostility to him.
Chehais Bee.
A careful survey of the field leads to the
conviction that there is not the slightest
doubt of the triumphant reelection of
Hon. John B. Allen to the United States
senate. The republicans of the state are
overwhelmingly in favor of Mr.. Aliens re-
election, and the republican members of
the legislature correctly represent the
wishes of their constituents 1t is safe to
predict that Mr.. Allen will be elected on
the first ballot.-POst-Intell
Singular to relate, although congress has
been in session more than a month, John

A VERY BAD CASE.
Ed. Young Covered With Small
pox Eruptions.

re Will be Removed From tht
Long wharf Warehouse to a
FIOathOuse mOOred la the Bay,
DIR. NeVveII's opinion.
A meeting of the local board of health
was held this morning and it was decided
to remove Ed Young, the small pox pa
tient, from the warehouse TO a float house
that will be provided as a quarantine sta
ton. The question of quarantining against
all traffic from the north was also consid-
cred but no action was taken.
DR.. Newell states that Young has small
pox in full bloom, this being the sixth day
after eruption. Day after tomorrow it will
be in the height of activity and after that
will subside. The eruption is fully estab-
lished all over his body. Young left Sno-
hOmish two weeks ago last Saturday came
here on Saturday evening last, spending
two days and nights about the town. DR..
Newell advises all persons who were in
company with him to be vaccinated, if not
already protected, as it is hardly probable
that all persons can escape the infection.
When Chief Savidge visited Young this
morning he found him sitting by the Win
dow smoking pipe, as uncOncernedly as
if be had nothing the matter with him.
THE PEOPLE OBJECT.
A great deal has been heard today about
the action of the city authorities In appro-
priating the warehouse at the end of the
long wharf for a pest house. 1t is looked
upon as high handed outrage upon the
travelling public, and the right of the au-
thorities to take such a course is seriously
questioned. A number of years ago a
smallpox patient was quarantined at the
same place. The Fleetwood was then
making regular trips to Olympia. Captain
Hatch sent word that if the smallpox pa
tient was not removed at once he would
never permit his steamer to visit Olympia
again. The warehouse was vacated forth
with. The indignation of the owners of
the Multnomah is undoubtedly well
founded. The life of the travelling public
has been placed in jeopardy by the pres
ence of smallpox patient at the regular
steamboat landing.
