speech presented the president and the

road Commission.

General Wade Hampton, United States
Railroad Commissioner, arrived in the
City yesterday morning from the East on
his annual tour of inspection of the
Government-aided railroads.
General Hampton, although 7S years OF
age, is looking quite hearty and declares
that his general health is good, although
he has been suffering from the effects OF a
wound received during the late war and
which necessitated at the time the ampu-
tation of portion of one of his lower
limbs.
Accompanying General Hampton is Dr.
B. w. Taylor of Columbus, S. c., Captain
r. Lowndes of Charleston and his private
secretary, Charles E. Thomas.
DR.. Taylor and Captain Lowndes were
Hampton during the war.
DIR. Taylor was first a staff surgeon, but
was later promoted to the position of
medical director of the cavalry corps of
the Army of North Virginia.
General Hampton is one of five officers
OF his rank now surviving out of twenty
five at the close of the war.
The party will remain here several
days and then run south to look at the
roads in that direction. They will return
here and go to Tacoma, going back East
over the Northern Pacific.
General Hampton says there is nothing
to note specially as the result of his OBJ
servatlons In advance of his routine report,
which Is yoluminous document. He SAYS

fumigated. II any more cases are found
they will be treated in like manner.
While yarioloid case is only mild
form of the disease" said ne, "an un-
vaccinated person may catch genuine
smallpox from the contact. But as all of
these passengers were vaccinated at Yoko-
hama almost three weeks ago, nothing
more serious than yarioloid can appear
among them. This man undoubtedly had
the mild lever OF varioIoid when the
China came in, but, of course, he would
not acknowledge being Iii, and it was only
when the pustules appeared that the pres
ence of the disease could be detected.
I'm regard to DR.. Chalmers visit to the
island | can understand why he was re-
fused permission to inspect the Quaran-
tine station. No person, not even pny-
sician, may 60 there and return. If the
President of the United States should,
officially, visit quarantine station he
would be detained there. DR.. Rosenau,
the surgeon in charge, never leaves the
island when there are people in quaran-
tine, and although / am under his orders
and closely associated with him do not
land there. Ii did so now. l should
simply be detained there with the rest.
ttDr. Chalmers and the public need have
no fears regarding DR.. Rosenaus ability
TO detect contagious disease OF handle it
when it comes. There is no physician in
the United States more thoroughly ac-
quainted with smallpox and cholera than
he. After years of experience with these
epidemics he is certainly able to tell
whether that Chinaman at the quarantine
station has varioloid, measles or hives

BRODER|CK CALLS NAMES
The Auditor Designates the City's
Chief Executive as a
Fakir.
A Lively Battle of Words at the
Meeting of the Election
Commissioners.

You're a fakir," said Auditor Broder-
ick to Mayor Sutro yesterday morning
during the meeting of the Board OF Elec-
ton Commissioners, and. as usual, the
Mayor made no reply, and the business of
the meeting continued on its stormy way.
The trouble rose over the efforts made
by some of the old line Democrats to
obtain standing before the commission,
something they have not been able to do
since the party split up into factions and
began an internal war.
J. C. Nealon. J. A. O'Brien and Joseph
Rothschild appeared to protest against the
appointment of certain men who have
been chosen election officers on the ground
that they were not qualified.
1t was suggested that written charges be
filed, and to this the protestants agreed,
but Auditor Broderick thought differently
a bout it. He insisted that if such course
was pursued the commission would never
finish its work.
Mayor Sutro attempted to interrupt, but
the Auditor would not listen and snapped
out:
You have been talking to the gallery
long enough. You criticize a great deal
but never do anything. You are fakir."
Then the Commissioners decided to
meet this evening to hear complaints
against election officers and adjourned.

tine station was established on Angel
Island and surgeons and nurses detailed
to attend to people or patients detained
there.
"The National quarantine officers are not
under the orders of the State quarantine
officers, but they are to cooperate with
them, and their common work is to pre-
vent the coming of disease to this port. /
hardly think the State quarantine office
will seek to obstruct the landing of people
that have been detained at the National
quarantine station, especially when the
medical officer of the station decides that
they are absolutely free from disease. 1t
would be unbecoming to do so, and, more
over, create needless confusion"
In g. short time an important change
will be made at the Angel Island quaran-
tine station. The disinfecting plant of
the tug Steinberg will be placed in the
hulk Omaha, now moored off the station.
Then the old vessel will be towed To an
anchorage near California City. Here all
vessels not having clean bills of health
will be taken, and during the period OF
their detention there they will be thor
oughly fumigated, with the belongings of
the crew and passengers. l. is thought
that this is more effectual way of de-
stroying any possible germs of infection.

Vaccination is in order on the Pacific
Mail dock at present and every body there
has a sore arm or is trying to get one.
When the China arrived from the Orient
last Sunday the captain, officers, crew and
passengers proudly exhibited their vaccine
scars and straightwav the wharf was filed
with thoughts sanitary. Then from Vice
President Schwerin down all hands lined
up IL the company surgeons Office for

ham and Chief Engineer Hawxhursr are
doing as well as could be expected. Gus

poral Cockrill ioyfully state that they can
not lift their sore, arms high enough TO
take drink of water.
Yesterday morning State Quarantine
Officer Chalmers reported to the Board OF
Health that he visited Angel Island the
evening before to see the smallpox patient
"a Chinese steerage passenger-now at the
quarantine station and that DR.. Rosenau,
the surgeon in charge, had refused TO let
him do so. The board notified DR.. Chal-
mers that his duty in the matter was plain
and that in any event no person must be
landed from the quarantine station until
the proper time and all sanitary condi-
tions had been complied with.
81 cannot understand why DR.. Rosenau
should refuse to let DR.. Chalmers, the
State Quarantine Officer, visit the patient, F."
said DR.. Hart of the board yesterday. at
is common courtesy among physicians to
exhibit cases, and I would never refuse to
let professional brother see any of my
patients if he SO desired. However, DIR.
Chalmers has full power to act in regard
to the landing of the Chinese passengers
from Angel Island, and there is no doubt
that Dr.. Rosenau will see that there is no
disease among them and that adj precau-
tions are taken before he considers the
question of their release from quarantine.
They must all remain there at least four
teen days from to-day or longer if any
more cases are found"
DR.. Chalmers stated last night that he
might not be able to visit Angel Island,
but no Chinese should be landed in this
City from that quarantine station until he
was perfectly satisfied that there was no
contagion among them.
II do not question DIR. Rosenau's abil-
lty or Judgment" he said, ''but as the
State Quarantine Officer, / must see for
myself"
Yesterday morning DR.. Blue, the United
States marine surgeon, in charge of the
National quarantine tug Steinberg,
steamed over to Angel Island. He did
not go ashore, but talked with DR.. Rose
nau from the deck of the vessel. He was
informed by Rosenau that it was a case
of varioloid and that the Chinaman had
been discovered when the eruptions had
appeared on his face. He was imme-
