WHEN DOCTORS DIFFER.

The Sacramento Record Onion says,
concerning the controversy between Judge
Ross and Attorney-General Olney:
While we have not thought that the charges
Of intent 10 subyert the law in the matter of
Chimes deportation worthy OF serious con-
sideraton, and 90 not for a moment believe
that the President OF the United States has at
any time intended TO usurp the function of the
law or suspend the operation of any law, we
coneede that the view OF the United States
District Judge from his standpoint is strongly
taken, and that there could be no more danger
GUS attack upon constitutional liberty than an
attempt TO suspend the vitality of a statute the
peoples representatives have enacted. But
there Is not any evidence that the President
has made any such attempt.
On this point there is difference of
opinion among journals claiming to be
Republican. If the Sacramento paper may
be thus classed. The Solano Republican
gives very good reasons for entertaining
an opposite opinion. That journal says:
That he (the PresideDD is wi hholding Fed
eral patronage 10 dragon Congress into the
enactment of his financial ideas does not admit
OF a single doubt. In confirmation OF this view
one has only to view ihe situation on this coast
Here there have only been three prominent
federal positions nlled. IneSe are lne Col
lector Of the Port, Superintendent OF The Mint
and Commissioner of immigration. John II.
Wise, as IL is we'll known, got his position by
the aid OF bis brother and bis fellow Virginia
Congressmen. John Daggett was made Super
intendent OF the Mint at the solicitation of the
late Senator Stanford and Judge stephen j.
Field, and Walter j, Stradley. 1t is safe to say,
received more substantial aid from his former
friends in Tennessee Than he received from his
newly made political friends in California. So,
TO sum IL UP, Virginia has received one Federal
appointment on this coast Tennessee one and
the minority of the historical Stockton conven-
tion one.
Our Sacramento contemporary will
doubtless regard these instances as series
Of condolences. The President, it was

The Missionary Councils
Visit Deferred.
Bishop Nichols Says the Commercial
Stringency Was the Sole Cause.
Prayer-Book Cross.

The Missionary Council of the Protestant t
Episcopal Church will not meet this Month
in San Francisco, as was intended.
The council is an Important body, con-
sisting of seventy-fve bishops, 200 presby-
ters and 200 laymen. Its presence in this
city was to have been taken advantage of
to open the Episcopal Divinity school for
the Pacific Coast at San Mateo, and also to
consecrate the Prayer-book Gross In Golden
Gate Park. Episcopalians regret greatly
that the place of meeting has been changed
to Chicago.
Right Rev. Edward W. F. Nichols. when
spken to yesterday by CALL reporter In
regard to this matter, said:
1.-The financial stringency is the sole
cause OF the Missionary Council not being
held in San Francisco. Not only were
many people in the East prevented from
coming from lack of means to undertake
so long journey, but also business men
found themselves unaple to leave their
Offices for the length Of time necessary to
undertake a journey to California. Many
business men from our various industries
are delegates to the council.
I'VE have some hope, however" con-
tinued the Bishop, cheerfully, 'that the
council will meet here next autumn. Yes !;
it assemblies annually, except every third
year, when there is the general conven-
tion. The first meeting Of the Missionary
Council took place at Philadelphia in 1887 !;
the year following it assembled at Wash
ingtnn, ID. Z. There was no council held
in 1889 on account of the general conven-
tion. In 1890 it met at Pttsburg aud in
1891 at Detroit. This year the council will
meet in Chicago, but we hope that Octo-
Der, 1894. will see it in San Francisco.
"As l have stated. the sole reason for
this years plans being abandoned was the
financial stringency. California hopes.
however, to be renresonted by one or more
delegates at Chicago. probably by one
clerical representative at least. Rev. r. c.
Fouie of Grace Church, Rev. j. A. Emery
of ST. Peters. G. W. Gibbs and Major W.
B. Hooper are our regular delegates.
with regard to the Prayer-book Cross
In Golden Gate Park, its execution will be
bilty is. however, that its conservation
will be deferred, as we hope next year to
have the ceremony performed during the
presence OF the council in San Fran
cisco.
"The opening of the Divinity School at
San MateO has been appointed for some
time during the middle of October. No,
there will be very little publicity attached
to the act. The school will simply be
thrown open quietly to the use of the
students IN the presence Of few of those
persons most interested.
II can only say" concluded the Bishop,
that while the change of plans respectin 2
the meeting OF the council has been dis
appointment to our church-people here. it
has been felt that the presence of the
council has only been postponed, and
every one has recognized the exigency
which made the change of place necss-
sity."

Verdict in the Founding
Asylum Case.
1t Practically Exonerates the Man
agement to the Surprise of
Coroner Hughes.

The Inquest on the body Of the male
child that died in the San Francisco
Founding Asylum was concluded yester-
day morning. and the jury returned yer.
dict practically exonerating the manage
ment.
DIR. Cheney was recalled and testified
that the dead bodies were left in tin re-
ceiver 2x3 feet under the front stairway.
to prevent contamination of the air in the
house. He never saw more than three
dead bodies in the box at one time. The
| longest period body had remained in the
box was three days. This was the case OF
| the infant whose death was under consid-
Grafton. He never saw any bodies in the
box badly iecomposed.
number of children were suffering
| from pemphigus. He did not con slider the
pemphigus to be the cause of death exec Dt
in the two cases certified to. Numerous
other infants had the disease. but it
seemed to him that death WAS due to other
causes. he thought there was a sufficient
| number of cases to warrant the belief that
the deaths were influenced by the disease.
He did not think that bad food or the
surroundings had anything to do with in
digestion in the children. He thought the
indigestion was caused by faulty vitality
of the child not by the food.
| He could not tell how many children
were received in September. He would
have to refer to the records. There were
| twenty-five deaths during September.
During the time he was in attendance he
filled out the whole certificate. He could
d not tell when he was not there if the un-
dertaker filled out any portion Of it.
John Connolly, employed by the Pacific
UndertakeIs. testified that he removed the
dead bodies of infants from the founding
asylum. When he took the bodies he used
always TO take the death certificate. He
would never remove body without GER
| tifcate. The greatest number of bodies
he took at one time was four.
During September he removed about
| twenty-four to twenty-six children; be did
not know the exact number. He never re-
moved body that was in any way decom-
posed.
The children he removed were pretty
thin. none Of them were stout. None of
those he removed were badly emaciated
| as the one under consideration.
This closed the evidence and the jury re-
turned the following verdict:
That said male child, age monthl25 days,
came 10 mis- death October q 1893 at San Fran
cisco Founding Asylum, 913 Golden Gate ave.
from the evidence adduced it received every
proper care and attention by DIR. w. f. Cheney
aud the attendants at The asylum, and we find
that the child died OF inanition as slated above.
The Coroner said: Il refuse to approve
OF the verdict for the simple reason that
you have not taken into consideration the
hygienc condition of the asylum which
was testified to as not being good. / think
some one is culpable in the matter mas
much as they knew that condition existed
and did not close up the institution
sooner.

argued, has no purpose In Withholding
Federal patronage. But he has not hap
pened to distribute much. and il has also
happened that important measures are
pending upon which California votes
would do him world of good.
There is another point not mentioned
upon which light will be gratefully re-
ceived. Why did not the Treasury Depart
ment purchase the amount of silver in
July and August which the law requires
the department to purchaser This Is a
matter upon which there is no dispute as
10 facts. The law which the President is
now trying to repeal was not complied
with. This may be another coincld ance,
but th ere must be an end TO condolences.
How many more will be needed to demon

companied by a groom.
Swift MacNeill. M. p, the Irishman
who pulled Harry Furniss' ears because of

interested people TO be so unspeakably
homely that Furniss could not have

Alvan Clarke, the Cambridge telescope
maker, has lately been in Chicago. where
he read a paper at the Science Congress,
so that no work has been done on the
great lens for the Yerkes telescope for
about month.
Professor III. H. Boyesen In a recent

temptuously of "a so-called university at
Urbana, Ohio" where he was professor of
Greek and Latin.

POINTING THE WAY.

Municipal elections are not always re-
liable indicators OF the movement Of the
public mind in regard to national politics.
A municipality NAV be engaged in local
reforms, as San Francisco was last No
vember, or it may have undertaken to dis
cipline an arrogant corporation, as is the
case of Oakland now: but when no large
local issues are pending national politics
determine the character of the result
Even the politicians who most positively
assert that local elections prove nothing
prefer to have local elections go their way
The recent election in Indianapolis shows
changes of nearly 5000 votes in favor of
tue Republicans. The percentage of gain
is large. Whether it is due in part or en-
tirely to local causes is not absolutely
kn own In this city. We do not know that
indianapolis has any great purpose in
view. unless it be to loosen the old of the
Cleveland party upon the National Gov
ernment That purpose is worthy OF the
most heroic effort. If the course of the
administration had turned four-ffths Of
the Democratic party into the Republican
ranks there would have been no cause for
surprise. The American people have gen.
orally been able to protect their liberties
from either home or foreign enemies.
They may have been little slow at times.
but when they have become certain that
something had to be done they have had
the courage 10 do 1t. Of course no one re-
CARDS Mr.. Cleveland as inten tionally a
public enemy. He has, however, had the
misfortune to get on the foreign side of
several distinct issues in national politics.

A ROMANCE FROM CHICAGO.

Intelligence from Chicago represents a
new tran sentimental association as de-
pending upon the action of the Southern
Pacific Company Just as soon as the
Kentucky corporation has finished the San
Francisco Traffic Association it will join
in with other iranscontinental railro ads
and put freight rates up to their old figure.
The scheme is TO include the Canadian
Pacific, the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific, the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific in the railroad trust. A com bina-
tion of these companies would enable the
roads to compensate themselves for the
losses incurred by few months of COM
petition. The Chicago paper assumes that
the Traffic Association cannot hold out
much longer. In this the wish is probably
father to the ought. The Traffic Asso-
riation is well satisfied with the situation.
1t has broken uD the old Transcontinertal
Association, driven the Pacific Mail from
the field, and dictated rates to its aIl-rail
competitors. The Chicago paper says that
alta loss to itself of about $4,000 month it
has caused the Southern Pacific a loss of
S6,000.000 and the transcontinental lines
more than S20,00000O. 1t is not pro ba Bile
that an association of merchants who have
accomplished so much will be forced from
the purpose for which they organized.
The association knows that it holds the
key to the traffic problem. The transcon-
tinental roads cannot raise rates greatly
above the ocean rates. Mr.. Huntington
may alternate with threatening and proph-
esying. but the Traffic Association pays
little heed TO what he says or does not say.
The lingering death which his Chicago
organ predicts for the California Traffic
Association is quite likely to happen to
somebody else.

MAKING AN ISSUE.

Ii Tucker OF Virginia's bill 20 repeal the
Federal election laws passes the Senate
there will be no legal way to prevent
frauds in the election of Congressman and
Of the President. A President Of the
United States may be elected by intimida-
ting the colored vote in close State like
Tennessee or Virginia, or by perpetrating
frauds in any of the great cities where boss
rule prevails. The United States has once
seen Democratic President elected by a
few hundred votes in the city of New
York. Tammany had control of tine ball OF
boxes. and so astute an observer as GEN
eral Benjamin +. Butler expressed the
conviction that the reported result was
forced. Abiding by the reported result

A WAR OF RATES
Prospects of an Active
Competition.
UNION PACIFIC WILL ACT.
The Possibilities of Some Lively
Changes in Tariff on the North
ern Coast Route.

Advices from Portland hint that the
Union Pacific Railroad Company Is apou'
to wage bitter war against the DetricE
Steamship Company and other competitive
steamship lines and the possibility OF
lively cutting of steamer rates 1or Ireignt
and perhaps passengers, between Lhe
north and San Francisco is evident. Ihe
opposition companies charge the Unlon
Pacific with unjust discrimination IN 1t:
dealings with the general public. Specia
shippers are said TO be the recipients OF
many favors from the Union Pacifc line
and the public must suffer the penalty o.
excessive rates in order to allow these
"pet contractors" TO enjoy the benefit ol
cheap transportation.
The question of cheaper rates to ine
north has been agitated at odd times ano
considerable good has como out OF It, BE-
fore the fight against the discrimination oil

shippers nearly every pound OF frelgn'

1t was learned from private adylcos yes,
terday that traffic arrangements VIII
shortly be entered into between the Soutn-
ern Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacitt
line to put stop to competition on the
Portland and Sound route. =,
1t appears that some Dorthbound sailing
vessels have been carrying passengers ioI
S4 to Puget Sound. and freight rates have
been cut by the Detrick Steamship Com
pany to such an extent that the railroad
and the Union Pacific's line Of steamers
sre losing much of their freight business.
The Detrick Company is now rum ing
four steamers to Portland, the Noyo, South
Coast, Truckee and Scotia, all Of which
are carrying full cargoes and are making
regular scheduled trips.
just what steps the Union Pacific in
tends taking has been kept secret, but ii
is supposed that big cut in rates will be
the first move in that direction. As II
stands to-day the Union Pacific Steamship
Company has recently been making con-
tracts at ridiculously low rate. and only
requires the support OF the Southern Pa
cfc, as it thinks, to run the opposition
lines of the Portland route.
E. Detrick Jr.. president OF the Detrick
Steamship Company, says that his line has

have confidently expressed the opinion

and silverware were also destroyed.
Mr.. Baker had but recently moved into

The servant who caused the disaster was
too frightened to give the alarm for time.

Mrs. Cornell first noticed the odor OF
smoke and gave the alarm, but as there are
no effective fire appliances in Belvedere
the house was speedily consumed. The
furniture was insured for S25O0. The total
loss is estimated a $4,000.
Mrs. Baker was particularly unfortunate
in the loss of her valuable jewelry, which
she had but recently purchased to replace
that which was stolen from her at the
