WERE BRITISH SUBJECT,
Chilean Government Endeavoring tC
Avoid Responsibility.

ANOlu NSSpOhSlbitllN'
San Francisco, Sept. 15.-The claims
of Andrew McKinstry and the heirs of
Patrick Shields against the Chilean
government are once more attracting
attention here.
McKinstry and Shields were sailors
on the American ship Keewenawa and
in 1891, while in Valparaiso, they were
brutally beaten by the Chilean police.
Shields afterwards died from his inju
ries. A claim for damages against
Chile was instituted by the United
States in behalf of the injured sailors,
and President Harrison in his annual
message made special reference to their
cases. The cases were considered by
tribunal in connection with those of the
u. S. S. Baltimore sailors, but it was
found that MCT<instry and Shields were
British subjects, though serving on an
American ship. Consequently their
claims were thrown out Lord Rose
berry, the late premier Of England
champiOned their cause, however, and
another tribunal composed of German,
British and Chilean subjects is now
considering the claims in Valparaiso.
A copy of the demurrer Of the Chilean
government has been received in this
city, and the cndeaVOrs of the South
American republic to avoid the re-
spOnsibility are considered rather re-
markable. In the demurrer the attOr-
ney for the government states that the
police records Of Valparaiso contain no
mention of the beating of the abused
sailors, or Of the reasons for such treat
ment, if they were injured Also Chile
objects to a foreign tribunal to try the
cases, as it is considered humiliating to
Chile.
The allegation is also made that it
is discovered that the sailors the day
they were arrested drank bottle or
pale beer in a saloon, and that possibly
their minds became clouded, so that
they imagined that they received in
juries, when in reality they had not
been hurt at all. This statement is
made in spite of the fact the men were
covered from head to foot with wounds
and bruises from which they never re
covered.

AFRAID OF THE ASIATIC CHOLERA
California COntenpiatcs the Establish
ment of Quarantine Stations.

=
San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE local
health officials are seriously consider
ing the establishment of quarantine
stations at the north and south lines
of the state, along the lines Of rail-
roads and the plan will be earnestly
considered at the joint meeting of the
local board of health, the surgeons of
the United States marine service and
the state board of health to be held
here on next Tuesday.
The health authorities are thoroughly
aroused to the danger that is threat
ened the city and state by the close
proximity Of Asiatic cholera.
AS already announced, the board of
health has declared Honolulu an infect
ed port and hereafter all vessels from
there will be detained and thoroughly
fumigated.
The members Of the board Of health
do not fear the introduction of cholera
through the medium Of steamers and
other vessels from infected ports be-
cause they consider the quarantine al
ready established and in force and will
form perfect safeguard, but they are
not so certain about the railroads.
Some of the members consider that the
greatest danger lies in those who are
landed in other ports and reach this city
by rail. Already the subject has been
earnestly discussed, and the PROPOSE
ton to establish the quarantine sta
tons at the points named will be urged
at the coming joint conference.
Under the act of congress Of Feb
ruary Is, 1898, the federal marine hos
pital service is given general super
vision Of all quarantining. The local
surgeons of the service have announced
their intention to cooperate with the
state and city authorities in keeping
out of the country infected persons or
articles.
In discussing the situation, Dr. Love
lace, the health officer, said: "The
board of health fully realizes the grave
duty deVolving upon it to use the most
vigorous means to guard against the
approach Of cholera. The United States
and state authorities have Joined with
US and we feel confident that we will
succeed in keeping the disease from get
ting in our midst"

prevented the New York committee de-
claring void the race last Tuesday be-
tween Valkyrie and Defender. It is
high time the rules be revised. In the

are reminded that there is an internal

conditions under which competition for
that trophy is to be conducted they
had better state their objections with

COAL up!
Nothing Very Alarming,
Though, it is Said.
The Supply Somewhat Reduced and
Demand Is Big,


There 10 q shortage In coal, ana conse-
quently coal costs more today than it did
last week, the wholesalers advancing
prices from so to rs cents, and the prin-
cipal retailers tacking on 25 cents per ton
on all sizes of anthracite coal. II is moth
ing to be alarmed at, however, ana can
be easily cured, for coal is coming In
now, and nobody will have TO go cold
this winter, because of the shortage.
1t seems that there are several reasons
for the shortage, one being that the
drought in Pennsylvania hindered min
ing to quite an extent, a great deal OF wa
ter being used In some mines to wash
the coal out, and another reason is that
a great deal of coal is consumed out West
where the tonnage so exceeds that of the
East that the latter appears insignificant.
Then, too, this is the season OF the year
when most everybody begins to buy coal.
When the wholesalers saw the situation
up went the rates, and 1t caught Provi-
dsnce minus the usual amount Of coal on
hand at this season of the year, SO we
have to pay quarter more.
In conversation with Mr.. Gorham p.
Pomroy, of the Pomroy Coal Company.
The NEWS man.was advised not to scare
people to death, because there is nothing
alarming in the situation. Mr.. Pomroy
said that he knew OF one dealer In town
who had to pay go cents more per ton for
coal today, out it is not found to be good
policy to advance the retail prices too
high, because II would have TO be
dropped again, so 20 cents is considered
about right, and averages up when the
wholesalers drop their prices back, al
they are likely to do the first OF the year,
especially If We have an open winter.
The advance to the consumer will b.
maintained all winter.

THE LONG PENSION.
Reasons for Advancing 1t in Supreme
Court Docket.

Reasons for Advancing 1t In Supreme
Court Docket.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In his motion
for the advancement Of the Judge Long
pension case on the docket of the United
States Supreme Court the Attorney Gen.
eral indicates briefly the position his
office will take In the matter. He says:
"There are, as we have seen, very strong
reasons for holding that whore title
tos passed, or the rights OF innocent
third persons have supervened, or there
has been very great lapse OF time, with
out question the DECISIONS Of the head OF
executive department should be consider
ed as beyond the power Of his successors
to disturb.
"The reasons are quite strong, also,
why, as to transactions wholly indeed
where credit has been given or money
paid over, there should be no recognized
right of review save for fraud or manifest
illegality. But where the matter Is one
that involves future recurring payments
of money there seems no good reason
why succeeding incumbents of the office
charged with a present responsibility
should be governed by the decisions OF
their predecessors. They should not
lightly override their predecessors; but
when satisfied and convinced that error
has been committed and that there is no
legal warrant for the payment demanded,
i. would seem to be their duty az well as
their right to rectify the error. The re-
cognition of the power In such cases in
yolved no destruction of vested rights,
no impairment OF obligation Of contracts
and no abridgment of the equities OF
third persons"
