SEEKING RICHER FIELDS.
Efforts to Be Made to Increase
Passenger Traffic From
the Orient.
Plans to Be Considered to Divert Por.
tion of It From the SueZ Canal
Route

There was an all-day session yesterday
of the representatives of the several trans
portation companies interested in trans
Pacific passenger business, but nothing of
a definite character was decided upon.
Upon closer investigation of the situa-
ton it has been found that efforts in the
Orient can be advantageously directed
toward securing part of the traffic that now
moves by way of the Suez canal route.
Agent Mckay, during the past year and
a half, has confined his efforts TO Yoko-
hama and toward securing a proper share
of the trans-Pacific business for his roads
as against the more northern lines and
their connections. Much the larger por-
ton of traffic originates at Hongkong,
Shanghai and other China ports, and it is
probable that when Mr.. Mckay returns to
his post he will go clothed with authority
to establish sub-agencies at these points,
and Honolulu may also receive special at
tention.
This is a field that has been virtually
neglected by the American transportation
companies, despite the well-known fact
that the Peninsular and Oriental and Mes
sagerie Maritime lines do an enormous
business from Japanese, Chinese and In
dian ports to Europe via the Suez canal,
part of which could undoubtedly be
tempted to move this way.
1t is expected that the conference will
continue for two or three days longer be-
fore plans are finally adopted.

Sunday from Asia, bring in smallpox"
DIR. Chalmers, the State medical officer,
was notified yesterday that there were
two cases among the Chinese steer
age passengers now quartered on An
gel Island, and DR.. Rosenau, the
marine surgeon at that station, declares
that there is only one case of varioloid
among his Asiatic boarders. When doc
tors disagree, etc.
But another complication entangles the
case. Last night State Quarantine Officer
Chalmers called away his tug and steamed
over to Angel Island. He heard that small
pox had broken out among the detained
CHINA passengers on thes island, and he
wished to learn the truth of the matter.
The official visitor ran the gauntlet of the
olue-coated guards at the landing and was
escorted up to the quarters of DR.. Rose
nau, then in charge of the station. After
half an hours wait the doctor received
his visitor, and in answer to question
stated that there was one case of varioloid
among the Chinese passengers. DR.
Chalmers asked if he might see the
patient and was fatty refused the priyi-
lege.
The State officer was stiffiy escorted
back to his tug and bowed curtly off the
island. So the question is, HAS Angel
Island case of smallpox, and why did
the Government medical officer refuse to
permit the State medical officer to visit the
patient?"
When the China sailed from Hongkong
she had over 500 Chinese aboard. OF these
lz0 were Tor San Francisco, about one-half
that number being in transit for Central
America. When the steamer was a few
days out from China two cases of small
pox were discovered among the Chinese
passengers. Every precaution was taken
and the doctor insisted upon vaccinatine
everybody aboard the vessel. Even the
captain did not escape and he and all his
subordinates are now nursing sore arms
In fact every person who boards the China
these days cannot get within FIVE yards of
any member of the crew without an ex-
clamatlon OF "Look out for my arm!"
After the China reached Yokohama the
japanese authorities took control. Pbe
sick men were landed and placed in quar-
antlne. The vessel was fumigated and
then allowed to go on her way. At Homo
lulu the Chinese passengers were allowed
10 land and the vessel was given a clean
bill OF health. On her arrival here D~

tai service and DR.. Chalmers, the State
quarantine officer, visited her. There was

ing emlgrants, and the China was allowed
to dock.
This was last Sunday, and yesterday it
was reported that two cases OF SMALLPOX
had appeared among the Chinese on the
island In the meantime the officers and
Chinese crew have mingled freely with
the people who have had business on the
steamer, and while there may be no fear
of contagion it would nevertheless have
been far better to have been sure than
sorry.

this evening in aid of the Golden Gate
Carnival fund attracted crowd of Curl
osity seekers to the Merchants Exchange.
Long before the bidding was started an
expectant throng jostled and tip-toed to
catch glim pse of the dashing brunette
who was to knock the seats and boxes
down toithe expected bidders.
Inside the partition rail in the corner of
the hall quite little group of theatrical
people had gathered. Manager Fried
lander of the Colum bia hustled about an
swering questions and giving directions,
and for a short time Frederick Warde and
L. R. Stockwell stopped to watch the SALE
Miss Maxine Elliott. the heroine of the
occasion, basked with her sister Gertrude
in the genial sunshine of Colonel
O'Byrne's gallant smiles,
When Miss Elliott had mounted chair
and eoquettishly called for bids it was
evident that the crowd had come to ad-
mire, but not to buy. Box went quickly
to Hugo D. Keil of Goldberg, Bowen &
Co. for $25, and box B was knocked down
TO J. P. LIE Count for $50.
Then the bidding stopped. The fair
auctioneer inquired valnly for what am /
offered ?" In the halls of Change she

George II. Davis was recognized in the
crowd, and, being an experienced auc-
tioneer, was called on to proceed with the
sale. He gracefully accepted the task, or
rather the pleasure, as he termed it, and
continued the unpromising quest of bids.

to know what he was offered for choice

S. Dinkelspiel took two seats at 81 80

more at 81 each. The vain appeal for bids
then ceased, the auctioneer declaring that

seen in his life.

sos Broadway, July Il.
Captain c. S. Talbot died at his home
in East Oakland this evening. Although
he has not been enjoying good health for
some time his death was a surprise to his
friends, as it was generally supposed he
was improving.
Captain Talbot has been United States
Inspector of Steamships and Hulls for
many years. He was man of large ex-
perience and during the past few years he
has led very active life owing to the in
crease in the steamship trade of San Fran
cisco. He was a very familiar figure in
marine circle and his face, which was that
of typical old mariner, will be greatly
missed from his Office in the Federal
building.
Maine over sixty-two years ago, and from
his earliest life he followed the sea as q
profession. he was rapidly prom oted and
commanded several of the largest Amer
lean vessels af1oat. He was looked upon
as a very careful navigator, and never met
with mishap of any Importance.
He retired from the sea several years ago
and has been an inspector for long time.
He lived with his family in East Oakland
and has been very little seen on this side
of the bay, all his work being in San
Francisco.
Last Saturday he was at bis Office in
good spirits, but soon after arriving home
he was taken sick with stomach trouble.
Only quite recently did the malady de-
velop serious symptoms.
Two physicians were called Sunday,
and were in constant attendance till death
came. Yesterday he was so low that the
absent members of the family were sum-
moned by telegraph. This morning the
captain was resting easily, and the hopes
of his family rose proportionately.
This evening relapse occurred and the
old sailor breathed his last about sun
down.

throw. In every state in the union
the forces are gathering for a grand
united assault upon the strongholdof

defeat of a Bland, a Cameron and a
Blackburn has given place to JOY at
seeing new friends in the arena of
combat and a silver voice in the SEN
ate of such strength as easily to over
turn any measure calculate to ben

are discomftted. And a senate is
filing the goldbug's abdomen with
allopathic doses of his own medicine.
Since 1857, Ohio has always had a
democrat in the upper house of con-
gress. With this administration that
order of things will expire, and two
