San Francisco-End of u
Bitter Fight.

Chicago, Oct 14-Dr John B. Hamil-
ton, surgeon general OF the United states
Marine Hospital. stationed in this city, has
sent In his resignation to President Cleve-
land. This action is the outcome OF
long and bitter fight in the higher circles
of the War Department.
Some time ago DR.. Hamilton was ordered
TO the Marine Hospital at San Franeisco
by the War Department. His headquarters
have been in Chicago since 1891, and he
has large and valuable private practice,
as well as real estate holdings. owing TO
these circumstances he objected to being
transferred, and made an official protest.
This protest was overruled and Dr. Ham
ilton again ordered West. He protested
to Secretary Carlisle. and after waiting
until September "a was notified that the
Secretary would not interfere. He then
decided TO resign. and on Monday took that
action he has not yet received reply.
DR.. Hamilton blames Surgeon General
Walter wymau for the Objectionable order.
Gen. Wyman was shown the above dis
patch at the Shoreham last night and
admitted the truth OF the statements made.
lie said there was regulation in the
service requiring a change of the stations
of officials every four years. Surgeon Gen
erai Hamilton, he said, had been allowed
TO remain over the required time and the
order transferring him to a Western sta
tion was simply part OF the regula ser rvice
routine.
The order was issued with others which
transferred other officials who stood as
nigh as he. and was thought by the depart
ment to be the right thing to do.
Gen. Wyman said that these orders were
issued from his department and that the
secretary was cognizant of the fact before
they went out.

Afterwards Mrs. Slack renewed her
efforts, this time in the District of Colum-
bia, to get possession of the children, tw 0
actions being Instituted against the Per-
rines, one for Injunction and the other for
writ of habeas corpus Early in June
the District court OF appeals, by a ma

The will of Mr.. Slack. by which he made
his sister testamentory guardian of the
children, was the subject of debate in Con-
