was beautiful live specimen of the Cali
fornia eagle that was recently caught in
the hills north of Berkeley.
The noble bird was bought by Senator
Eli S. Denison, who at once conceived the
idea of sending it to the next President as
a symbol of Callforn ia s fidelity to Repub-
lcanism. Senator Denison is a personal
friend of Major Mckinley and is making
given away about 1900 buttons to bona
fide Republicans.
When the unique gift was at the depot,
tagged ITO William Mckinley, Canton,
Ohio" it created much interest and the
Senator was required to tell of its history
several times.
This evening Senator Denison sent the
following letter to Major Mckinley:
Major Wittfdm Mckinley, Canton, Ohio-RE-
sPECTED SIR: Undersigned SENDS you this day A
live American Eagle captured in the hills of
Berkeley as most worthy emblematical mas
cot in this patriotic campaign for protection,
prosperity and sound money.
He bears you our greetings from Califor-
MIA and fairly illustrates the watchful eye,
strength OF purpose, determined will and un-
conquerable spirit that animates the Republic
can party of this distant State, and who are in
spired not alone by your past enviable record,
but the dignifed and consistent position you

honored Presidential candidate.

tic support, am. yours, very respectfully,

Senator Denison has also sent letter to

HUFF WRONGLY CHARGED.
The Ex-United States Court Chinese In.
terpreter Has Been Fully
Exonerated

Harry Huff, for years United States
Chinese interpreter, and who was dis
missed some months ago for alleged
crookedness, has succeeded in clearing
himself. In the recent developments more
evidence has been brought to light tend
ing to show the duplicity of the recently
convicted Chinese Inspector, Dick Will
liams
Huff was formerly Chinese interpreter
for the United States District Attorney.
He was thoroughly competent and gave
general satisfaction. In some way he
brought down on his head the wrath of
Dick Williams, who later preferred
charges against him for accepting bribes
from Chinese.
One day Williams informed the District
Attorney that he had positive knowledge
that at a certain time Huff would GO to the
room of Chinese woman in order to &C
cept bribe. In fact, so Williams de-
clared, 1t was arranged that the latter
should accompany the interpreter in order
to receive the money Acting upon the
lnformati given by Williams, a con-
fidential officer of the Government was
directed to secrete himself in the room of
the Chinese woman that evidence might
be secured upon which to base the dis
missal of Huff. Accordingly, Williams led
the way to the woman's room, and event
ually, as he had predicted, Huff appeared
and was paid sum of money by the
Chinese woman. Of course, all the con-
versation took place in Chinese.
This evidence seemed conclusive proof
of guilt, and Huff's dismissal was accord
lngly ordered by the department at Wash
ington. Judge Foote has recently learned
that the money paid by the women to
HUFF was just debt.
The authoritios at Washington have
been notified of this newly discovered evil
dence in Huff's favor, and his reinstate-
ment is looked for.

COMING AT LAST.

Anarchists in New York Are Daily Ex-
pecting Louise Michel.
The anarchists are all rejoicing, because
news has arrived that Louise Michel is
sailing from England for America.
John Most and the other anarchist lead
ers in New York are preparing 20 deify
her. and it goes without saying that she
will make a alecturing tour. Whoever pays
the expenses of her trip it is not likely
that the French anarchist will be less sue
cess full in making dollars and converts
than other famous anarchists of other ma
tionalities who have before visited this
country.
John Most has received the following
circular, signed by Pietro Gori and Fran
els Marat:
1--WE have the pleasure of announcing
that in the interests of the cause, we have
succeeded in persuading our intrepid
Louise Michel to make tour in America.
She has consented the more willingly, as
she is convinced that propaganda is more
than ever necessary Just at present. She
will be accompanied by her inseparable
friend, Charlotte Vanville, who could not
possibly leave her, both on account of
Louise MichePs advanced age, and also
because OF the care she will need during
her long and fatiguing lourney.'
Gori's manifesto concludes by begging
his friends in America to contribute to the
cause, and by stating that Louise Michel's
departure is fixed for the end of Septem-
ber. According to L'Italia, John Most
has not himself been informed OF the
exact day of the famous anarchists arri-
val, but he is expecting her in the course
of next week.

BARRING OUT The PRESS
The Board of Health Closes the
Receiving Hospital
to It.
Supervisors Asked to Prohibit Ex-
Grating on the Streets
and in Cars.

The Board of Health at a special meet
ing heId yesterday solemnIy decreed that
the Receiving Hospital in future is to be
closed to the reporters and artists of news
papers, because the interviewing and
sketching of patients is contrary to the
sacred ethics of the medical profession.
The Police Surgeon was warned that
any official or employe violating this rule
would be summarily dismissed. In view
of the scandals that have arisen during
other administrations regarding the treat
ment of patients and their belongings this
action would seem somewhat risky.
AT the suggestion of Superintendent s.
b. McLenegan of the San Francisco and
San Mateo electric line the following reso-
luton was passed:
Resolved, That the attorney of the Board of
Health be requested to Immediately prepare
and have passed by the Board of Supervisors
of this City proper ordinance for the preven-
ton OF exDectoration on the sidewalks or in
buildings or in any public conyeyances in this
City, and that such buildings and conveyances
should be provided with proper receptacles
Tor such expectorations.
Mr.. Reinstein will prepare a communi-
cation to the board at once
AT meeting of the board held August
IL, 1896. with those furnishing milk for
this City, and with the health officers of
San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, Oak
land and Berkeley, it was stated that it
had been and was impossible for those
supplying milk for the City to comply
with the order of June 25, 1896, providing
for the quarantining of all milk from
cows that had not been tested by the
United States tuberculine test. This state
of affairs led to the passage of the follow
ing:
RESOLVED, That the operation of so much oi
our order of the 25th of June 1896, as re.
quires on and after October /, 1896, the quar-.
antining Of milk from cows not so as above
tested be postponed until the further order oil
this board in so far only, however, as concerns
such persons, firms or corporations supplying
milk for this City, as shall daily submit such
supply Of milk Tor inspection at the most con-
venient inspection station of the four open
public food inspection stations, as soon as such
stations are ready for operation, and shall
comply further with all rules and regulations
OF this City, and the laws of this State.

Inspector at a salary of $75 per month,
and John Loane Health Inspector at $10C

holds lucrative position in the Royal
Insurance Company and Is considered to
have excellent prospects in the business
world. The fact is, however, that he has
felt drawn toward the ministry for many
years, but he has never been moved to
consider that he had call till the recent
conference at Pacific Grove. After hear
ing the addresses, he was moved to look
upon the pastorate as his true vocation
| and at once made arrangements to give
up his business and devote his life to
preaching the Gospel.
Mr.. Case intends to take up the regular
conference studies. He will have to be
two or three years in conference before
being ordained, and till then will occupy
the position of supply preacher under the

and under the general law taxes shall be
due and payable on the first Monday in

it impossible that the terms of either can
be complied with, for the tax-levy ordi-
nance is now being printed and will not
be ready until Tuesday next when it is as
