THE RAT PIT OF THE CzARINA.

DR.. Chalmers, the local quarantine
officer and Surgeon Rupert Blue of the
United States Marine Hospital service had
another spat yesterday. The Mariposa,
from Australasia, was spoken about 8
A. NJ. and both quarantine officers were
notified. 1t did not take the captain on
the Governor Perkins long to get steam
up, and Captain John Mcfarland on the
Sternberg at once followed suit. Both
vessels reached the Mariposa about the
same time, but the United States officer
held sway and Purser Smith was COM
PEELED 10 produce two sets of "ship's
papers," Drs. Chalmers and Blue both
went over the list of steerage passengers
and after careful examination allowed
them to land.
When the whaleback City of Everett ar
rived last Wednesday, DR.. Chalmers
boarded her and passed on her papers.
In consequence Captain Buckman docked
his ship, and yesterday morning he made
pre- parations to begin discharging his ves-
sci. An order from the United States
quarantine officials stopped proceedings,
however. and it was 10 A. NJ. before the
matter was straightened out As the mat
ter now stands all vessels from foreign
ports must have a clearance from the
United States quarantine officer and the
State quarantine officer. One is no good
without the other according to the au-
thorities at Washington, and the sooner
change is made the better Ii will be for
the shipping interests of San Francisco.
The Mariposa brought the following pas
senger list:

The Mariposa brought up four black
swans and wallaby for the park. The
miniature kangaroo stood the voyage well
but the swans did not fare so we'll. They
drooped during the midocean run but be-
gan to PICK up as soon as the coast of Cali
fornia loomed up. They will be in Stow
Lake to-day ready to welcome the glorious
Fourth.
Among the arrivals on the Mariposa
yesterday was Mrs. w. H. Averv, wife of
the popular representative of the Pacific
Mail Company. Six months ago she left
here an invalid, but tour of the South
Sea Islands has restored her to perfect
health and she looked like new woman
as she stepped off the gangplank of the
Mariposa yesterday.
Captain Towbry of the bark Don Carlos
was also passenger. While at Honolulu
his leg was broken and he was compelled
to come 10 San Francisco for medical
treatment
Lieutenant Lasker of the Adams is here
on a peculiar mission. His wife accom-
panies him, and, while he is apparently
on "sick leave" it is known that he is on
recruiting srrvice." Over a score Of
men have deserted, and the vessel is
short-handed. Some OF the deserters
came up on sailing ships, and the Aloha
had two OF them when she arrived In port
a few days ago. the ]. 6. North had sew
eral, and the Alden Bessie and Robert
Lewis had one or two more. All in all
the crew of the Adams seems to be more
than discontented, judging by latest ac-
counts.
The steamer Syarina, lying at Folsom
street wharf, is infested with rats. Cats
will not tackle them, and the night watch
man is kept awake keeping the rodents
away from the soles of his shoes. If he
ever dares take wink they start in on
his feet covers, and their gnawing soon
wakes him up. The hold of the vessel is
now almost empty, and rafting main
may be arranged.
Vallejo is to have water carnival to-
morrow night and excursions are in order.
Piper, Alden, Goodall & Co. will not run
the Sunol, as they say all the townspeople
should remain at home on that occasion.
In consequence their vessel will not leave
her dock and no one will be able to get
here from Vallejo on the Fourth on the
Sunol. San Francisco people, however,
will be able to get to Vallejo, as Mamie
Fogel will run the Ida w from here to
Vallejo and back, thus giving all a chance
to view the carnival.
Tom Sharkey visited the Charleston
Yesterday AS soon as he set his foot on
the rangplank the boys seized him and
carried him shoulder high ali over the
ship. He was the hero OF the hour, and as
such was treated by the officers.
Captain Parker of the launch Belvidere
will carry passengers to the Charleston on
July and 5. He will run excursions at
short intervals during both days.
