DIR. CHALMERS
STRIKES BACK
He Has Taken His Cause
Into Police Judge Con-
lan's Court.
Warrant Sworn Out Yesterday
for the Arrest Of Cap
tain Thomas.
The Charge Is Violating the Laws Of
the State by Refusing to Exhibit
His Bill of Health.

The difficulty between the State Quar-
antine Officer and the Federal Quarantine
Officer, which has recently caused so much
arriving in port will be adjudicated by
Pol 'ce Judge Conlan.
Yesterday morning DR.. W.. P. Chalmers,
State Quarantine Officer appeared before
Judge Conlan, and swore to a complaint
charging Captain A. Thomas of the
schooner John N. ingalls, with misde-
meanor in violating the laws Of the State
OF California relating to public health, as
defined in section 3018 of the Political
Code, by refusing to exhibit his bill OF
health for inspection, thereby preventing
the State Quarantine Officer from perform
ing his duty.
The schooner arrived in port on August
s and was boarded by DR.. Rosenau. Fed
eral Quarantine Officer, who exam lned the
bill of health and gave her permission TO
land, also ordering the bill of health to be
sealed and delivered to the Collector.
DR.. Chalmers afterward boarded the
vessel ana demanded to see the bill of
health. Captain Thomas informed him
that it had been examined by DR.. Rcsenau
and sealed and therefore he could not ex-
anime it.
DR.. Chalmers says that this is test
case. After consultation with District
Attorney Barnes, he came to the conclu-
sion that the matter should be settled at
once, and that hereafter all captains en-
tering the port who shall refuse to exhibit
their bills of health on demand OF the
State Quarantine Officer will be prosecu-
ted under the same section OF the Political
Code.
The subject of controversy between Dr.
Chai mers and DR.. Rosenau is one that Is
bound to cause serious conflict between
the State and Federal authorities. In
the case of Captain Thomas but few ques-
tions are involved, but in the case of
Captain Clarke OF the Loeb Carron more
serious questions are involved than have
yet been presented.
Clarke arrived in port Saturday night,
passed the Federal quarantine inspection
and his bill of health was accepted by DIR.
Rosenau and sealed. DR.. Chalmers
boarded the vessel and Captain Clarke
refused to break the seal on his bull OF
health. He lay in the stream from Satur-
day night until Monday afternoon, when,
on advice OF his consignees, Moore q Co.,
he entered the ship at the Custom house,
disobeying the orders of DR.. Chalmers.
Now DR.. Chalmers proposes to nave him
arrested and tried in the State courts. 1t
he does the Collector will sue out the
necessary writs in the United States
courts to prevent the trial Of the case.
Then the British Consul will also inter-
vene, and between Uncle Sam and Queen
Victoria ana California here will be the
worst tangIe of legal difficulties and adj
mlraity law that any lawyer ever at
tempted to solve.

THIS CITY TO
Be VOTED ON
Our Chances Good for Next
Years National En-
campment.
Encouraging Messages From
Many Heads Of State
Departments.
The Question Will Be Settled To-
Night at the Buffalo En-
campment.

San Francisco stands a pretty good
chance of being chosen by the Grand
Army of the Republic as the place of its
next annual encampment.
A vote is to be taken on the matter to-
night at Baltimore, where this years
encampmenti is being held.
This City is a favorite. The only possible
obstacle is the transportation rate. If a
low rate can be promised, San Francisco S
chances are excellent, but they are good
anyway.
Baltimore and Cincinnati seem to be the
only other aspirants, and Baltimore is
handicapped by the bankruptcy of one of
its chief railroads.
In order to ascertain about what Califor
MAS chances were, the following form of
telegram was sent by the chairman of the
California committee to the generals in
command of eacn State department.:
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.
Wire General Warfield or myself your
opinion what chance San Francisco has at
Buffalo for next encampment under existing
circumstances. .. +. THORN.
And here are some of the replies that
have come in:
General w. H. Green, Portland, Me.-Think
you can count on Maine; una bic to say about
other State delegations.
General John P. Rea, Minneap polls Mimi
With assurance of satisfactory rates consider
chances at least even.
General 4. G. Wiessert, Milwaukee, Wis.,
From present indica tions, l am of the opinion
that San Francisco has most excellent oppor-
tunity for getting the National encampment.

that Mr.. Waring had gone up to head

astonished, and asked why. Then War

Schneider shows His Friends How Il
Fish for Bnrs.

Schneider and some OF his friends took
a little outing last week. They didn't
have much money is the reason they
didn't go to Long Branch or Bar Harbor
Miami, and found a dry spot on the batk
of the river and pitched a tent. Then
they sailed two or three kegs of beer in
the cool sand, and were ready for fishing.
Murphy was in the crowd. Never mind
which Murphy, this one was Irish.
"Oill 20 down to the sthream,' he
said, "and DIN bring ye oop a stirring NV

Schneider started down TO the stream
and without a miDnow or fly, or even a

stream and in n short time he came back
with fish for supper, though some were
only blue eats, but very good they are
when fried the right way.
