QUEZALTINANGo. June TO- 1897.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. Labor Commissioner, San
Francisco. Cdt.-DEAR SIR: To give you further
information in regard to the labor and money
question, take this liberty of in orming you.
The mechanics of this city. who ure mostly
citizens of California, called meeting TO dis
cuss the situation, and by unanimous vote
came to the conclusion that they would stop
work Ill their employers would guaran tee
them silver for their labor, instead OF paper,
as paper money has deprecated so that it is
only worth twenty cents on the dollar, and it
is almost impossible to pass 1t n t that. as most
all the merchants have refused to acceptit at
al.
They demand silver and the banks claim
they have no silver, and they have refused TO
accept more than 81 at Il time. Mostly all th e
business places have closed down, and it is al
most impossible to get anything to eat. as the
no tel men will not accept paper and it is the
only money we have. 1t is impossi BILE to leave
the country, as you cannot exchange, and
what the outcome will be it is imr ossible to
say at this writing. l forwarded you cable
gram yesterday, which will. presume, reach
you before this, and this letter is simply 10 ex-

The Health Office Will
Continue to Assess
Plumbers.
Claim the Right to Do so IN
der the Rules of the
Board.
There Is Likely to Be Legal Con
test in the Courts Over the
Matter.

Plumbers fees are still being collected
were reissued yesterday. for which $5 was
collected. In view OF the article pub
lished in The CALL yesterday Secretary
Godchaux felt dubious about receiving
the same, but on referring the matter to
DR.. j. M. Williamson, who is the acting
chairman of the board, he was instructed
to go ahead as before. The licenses were
issued and the S. placed with the $500 tina
has already been collected in the same
way.
The situation in reference to this matter
is peculiar one. 1t involves the right
of the Board OF Health to make rules and
regulations which i'm pose tax on certain
kinds of business.
DIR. Williamson claims that the board
has such right and that 1t will continue
10 tax the plumber as heretofore until i,
is prohibited from doing so by some COM
petent court.
DIR. RottanZI, on the other hand, claims
that no such right inheres in the Board oi
Health and that such an ordsr as tha,
under which the Board of Health is col.
lectlng these fees must be passed by the
~ pSA iooie oho 81 HPPiofeu Wy tnc May OI
before it becomes operative.
The matter Will be brought up at the
meeting of the Supervisors on Tuesday
and there will undoubtedly be a hot de.
bate over the matter.
1t is but fair 10 Secretary Godchaux and
to the body that he represents in the
capacity OF secretary to state that all ot
the moneys that have been collected are
maintained intact and available for re-
funding should such q course become
necessary. Accurate book accounts have
been kept of all such moneys collected.
As explained by DR.. Williamson \the
rules and regulations under which these
fees are being collected were passed by
the Board of Health on the authority
given that body by order No. 1882, passed
by the Supervisors May %, 1883, and ap.
proved by Mayor Pond on the following
dav.
Section OF tins order reads as follows
Every master and journeyman plumber

London, Nov. 3.-John House Meriott

in January, 1897. died at Taunton Mon
day evening. Colonel Chard was born
in iS4I and obtained his commission in
the Royal Engineers in 1868. AS lieu
tenant he went TO Natal early in Jan
uary, 1879, and on Jan. % was left in
charge Of the commissariat post at
Rorke's Drift. with eighty men of the
Eightieth regiment of infantry. Seeing
that an attack upon the post was I'M
nJnent Lieutenant Chard caused a bar
ricade to be hastily thrown up the SOL
diers using the cor1missariat stores Tor
this purpose. and building the breast
works partly under fire. Soon after
dark the post was attacked by about
5000 Zulus and the fighting lasted the
greater part of the night.
Six times the ZNius succeeded in fore
ing their way inside the barricade. but
they were each time driven out at the
point of the bayoret. At dawn the next
day the post was relieved by a British
force, and 351 dead Zulus were counted
near the barricade, while the number
killed after that attack was estimated
r.itted at the time that the defense Of
KCrke's Drift was the means of saving
Greyton and Heipmakar, as well as
securing time for bringing about a re-
