Kindness to Animals is title of a
manual just issued by the American
society for the prevention OF cruelty

esting and instructive to the Young.
The author says: 1.-The experience
of the society has satisfied the writer
that far more cruelty is done through
ignorance than through vicious in
tention. This is particularly true of
children. They do not know. or they
do not realize, that dumb animals sui
fer pain as keenly as human beings"

DISINFECTING PLANT.
ONE rs BADLY NEEDED IN TIL. CITY
or ST PAUL,
BUT WAY BE LONG COMING.

AID. Cullen Reports on the Core
spondence Received From
Other Cities-HeaIth Commits
sioner Hoyt Saws 1t Is an I'm
perative Necessity, to Head Off
Epidemics.
The question of purchasing disin-
fecting plant, as recommended by
Health Commissioner Hoyt, was dis
cussed by the committee on ways and
! means of the board of aldermen yester-
day. When the matter was first brought
to the attention OF the council a special
joint committee was appointed to in
vestigate as to the ACCESSIBILITY of Sc
curing a plant of this kind. 1t was de-
cIded to send a committee to inspect the
plants in use in other cities, and a reso-
luton was passed appropriating $500 to
pay the expenses of the trip. The reso-
luton was vetoed by the mayor. who
claimed that the same results could be
secured by correspondence, and the
money spent in travelling about saved
the city.
Acting on this suggestion the health
officer was directed to correspond with
cities using either the portable or
permanent plants, and also with the
manufacturers.
Aid. Cullen, chairman of the commit
tee, reported yesterday that he had been
handed the correspondence received by
the health officer, and from it had
learned that of the twelve cities using
the system no two had the same kind of
plant. The
Cost Of a Profitable PLANT
would be about $500. There being only
two members of the committee present.
it was decided to lay the matter over
for two weeks.
Health Commissioner Hoyt submitted
letter calling attention to the neces-
sity Of a disinfectiDg plant being Sc
cured at once. Last spring he said sew
eTal Of the schools had been closed on
account of the prevalence of contagious
diseases. There was no doubt, the COM
missioner stated, that the large increase
of diphtheria and scarlet fever was due
to the houses and rooms in which pa
tients having the diseases were kept
not being properly disinfected. In July
the records of the health office showed
twenty-five cases of diphtheria and
nineteen of scarlet fever. OF this num-
Der ten cases of diphtheria were in the
Eighth ward and seventeen cases of
scarlet fever in the Sixth ward. The
purchase at once of diSintecting plant
would he of great benefit. especially as
the schools would soon reopen.

WASHINGTON. July 29-The position
OF superintendent of the Tenth division
railway mail service. made vacant a few
weeks ago by the removal Of Norman
Perkins, was today filled by the appoint
ment of Robert II. Barclay, now chief
clerk, with headquarters at Helena.
This appointment was made by direc-
ton Of Postmaster General Bissell, who
IS still out Of the city, and came as a
good deal of a surprise to the depart
m~ut, as it had been supposed no
change would be made until Mr.. Bar
clay could at least get some papers on
file.
The splendid Endorsements of Thomas
j. McDermott do not seem to have been
considered at all in this case, although
IL has only been a few weeks since the
head of the postal department pro-
claimed the fact that all papers filed
would in every case receive considera-
ton. This appointment finally dis
poses OF the appeal of Mr.. Perkins.

Diplomatic History of the Case.

This ultimatum was sent on July 10,
and torty-eight hours was allowed for
Siam to make answer to the French de-
| mands. On July 81 NJ. Pavie, the French
minister at Bangkok, presented the
ultimatum to Prince Devongse, the
Siamese foreign minister.
On July % Siam replied, stating that
| the king was at loss to understand
what the rights of Anam and Cambodia
we're on the left bank of the Mekong
river. The king expressed his willing
ness to abandon all the territories over
| winch the existence of these rights
could be proved, ana called attention to
the fact that five months previously he
mad proposed to submit all the contested
territorial questions to international ar
bItratlon. In the interest of peace, how
ever. the king offered to surrender the
territory as far north as the eighteenth
degree of latitude, but no further. and
proposed that the islands IN the Mekong
river be used in common by Siam and
France. All the other points OF the
ultlnIatum were conceded.
Ihls answer was not satisfactory to
France, and subsequently NJ. Pavie
withdrew from Bangkok on a gunboat.
and the French war ships in the Menam
rIYer went to KOhSi-Chang. an island
near the head of the Gulf of Siam,
Wnere tney joined the French fleet I'M
der the command of Admiral Rumann.
France then determined to blockade the
SIamese coast. There is serious doubt
as to the time the blockade was to be
made effective. The French govern
ment Informed the British government
that the blockade would begin July 81,
but the British minister at Bangkok
later informed the British foreign Office
that 1t bad commenced on July %. Lord
RoSeberry, the British foreign minister.
yesterday asked the French govern

THEY ARE ANGRY.
Indignation Meeting of the High
School Girls,

indignation Meeting of the High
School Girls.
The young ladies receiving tuition in the
San Francisco Girls High School are in a
state bordering on revolt.
They are indignant over the summary
action of the Board of Education on
Wednesday evening last in declaring
vacant the position of teacher of drawing
and ordering abolished that branch of
study. An indignation meeting of the girls
was held at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
at which were present representatives from
all the classes in the senior, middle and
junior departments.
Several suggestions were made. One was
to prepare petition to be presented to the
Board of Education setting forth the bene-
fits which they had enjoyed from their
drawing lessons. the educational advan-
tages of the study. and asking the board to
resclnd It's action.
Another proposition discussed was to ap-
point committee of the pupils to wait in
person on the board TO offer their remon-
STRANGE. One of the girls thought the
better plan would be to ask their fathers to
60 before the board with protest.
What are we going to do who have no
fathers?" spoke up budding artist with
blond bangs.
The divinity in the chair suggested that
the motion be amended 40 as to make the
deIegation CONSIST oil tile fathers, mothers
and guardians.
After an exhaustive discussion the propo-
stion finally adopted was Il resolution that
1t was the sense of the meeting that every
girl IN the High School request her parents
or guardian to write letter 10 the Board of
Education setting forth the common griev-
ance; that all the letters be collected and
presented at the came time TO the School
Directors.
A committee was appointed to carry this
scheme into effect, and for the next three
days there Will be some lively epistolary
work done by the fathers and mothers of
the pretty girls who attend school in the
big brick building on Geary street.

u have received information from re-
liable sources that the Chinese intend to
take advantage of the liberal spirit of the
Gealy act in reference to that portion that
permits certificate to be issued after the
9th of May if the Chinaman can establish
the fact that he was prevented from CON-
plying with the law by reason of accident
or sickness or other unavoidable, cause and
the method to be employed is to have all
the Chinese desst from registering until the
closing days of registration and then rush
in and swamp the office. OF course as only
a small proportion can be accommodated the
other will set up when arrested that they
were not able to obtain attention aud are.
therefore, not TO blame.
This will not work as there have been
ample time and facilities offered to every
individual to register. If this is really the
intention of the Chinese they have over
looked one important point. and that is it
will be necessary to have their statements
confirmed DY at least one credible Wnlle
witness and the ordinary white
witness, such as the Cinnamon have pro-
duced heretofore. will not have very pleas
ant reception in my Office.
1.-THE right OF suffrage to a citizen of the
United States is a sacred right, but il he
fails to register on time he loses ii, and 1
have not yet learned that being in line and
ready and anxious to register when the
window closed and registration closed was
a good excuse to demand his sacred right to
vote.
when the sun goes down on election
day, though there may be hundred in line
ready to vote, the window closes and you
can only blame yourself that you did not
come earlier in the day"
From now on every effort will be made to
induce the Chinese to comply with the Geary

be made and every Chinese without a GER
tifcate will be arrested.

HORSE INSPECTOR.
Australia Appoints One for
San Francisco.
A Stringent Quarantine Set Up in the
Colonies Against American
Horses.

DR.. William F. EgRn, president Of the
California Veterinary Medical Society, has
been appointed Veterinary Inspector at
the Port of San Francisco for the Austria
liam Government. Yesterday he received
his commission from the Governor of the
colony OF Queensland.
He is also to represent New South Wales
and Victoria, the colonies having united in
the work of setting up a very string gent
quarantine against infected livestock.
Along with the commission cams certi-
fed copy of very vouminous law, which,
in DR.. Egan's judgment, will have the
effect OF disc0uraging the expectation of
California horses to Australia on account Of
the additional expenses entailed by the new
regulations.
The law requires, first, a declaration from
the owner. sworn to before justice OF the
peace residing in the district where the
horses have been sold, that the animals
have not been infected or exposed to any
contagious diseases. A certificate is also
required from veterinary surgeon residing
In the same district that the animal is per
fectly healthy. A second certificate is de-
manded from the Port Inspector. No
American horse will be allowed TO be
landed without these certificates, and sgd
ney IS the only port at which American
stock can be landed.
The inspection fees permitted to be col
lected are SO for six horses or less, So for
all additional horses, not exceeding twelve,
and 81 % for each horse over twelve.
The Importation of any cattle, sheep or
swine has been absolutely prohibited I'M
less from Great Britain or Ireland; but
stock from the United States will be ad-
mitted providing it has beer in Great Britain
or Ireland for period of fourteen days.
Every time shipment of livestock is
made 10 Australia hereafter, Spreckels
Bros. will have to send for Inspector Egan
before the animals will be received on
board their steamers
The new regulations are likely tn arouse
considerable resistance among livestock
men in this Stale, who have hitherto car
ried on considerable business with the
colonies.
The principal trade affected by this law is
in trottng-h0rses, Of which large number
have been shipped in the past from San
Fran cisco
