SUNDAYS MEETING.
At the special meeting held
yesterday to consider the question
of the landing of the freight of
the Rio Janeiro, president Smith
read the consular bill of health of
the steamer stating that there
we're q ,575 cholera cases in ia
pan with II 1892 deaths to date
from beginning of present out
break. She had 263 Chinese and
20 japanese immigrants for this
port and had one death at sea.
There were $50 tons of freight for
this port 300 tons japanese
freight and 260 tons from Hong
kong. The question seemed to be
what should be done with the
freight. The immigrants had
been landed on Saturday.
About sixty merchants and citi-
zens were present and gave their
views on the matter and
a motion not to allow the
landing of any freight from the
Rio Janeiro prevailed, to include
also the return of freight from
San Francisco.
Minister Hatch suggested that
the Board keep in mind the pre-.
cedents of the Madras case" and
continue the quarantine from tine
to time; that the crew OF the Rio
de Janeiro with no outside help,
be required to handle her own
freight and that said freight be
transferred to hulk. Let her
be quarantined outside and give
her the option of going on or re-
naming in quarantine. After
further discussion the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that in the opinion
of the Board of Health the steam
ship Rio de Janeiro is infected so
as to endanger the public health
and that quarantine of at least
seven days outside of the harbor
must be performed by said vessel
before any freight will be allowed
to be landed from said vessel,
and that thereafter all freight
now on said vessel must be
fumigated to the satisfaction of
the Board before being landed.
