TOMEET NEXT
 AT MONTEREY Adjournment of the Session of the State Medical
 Society.
Report Made on the Controversy anc Encounter Between Drs. Potter
 and Macnonagle.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, April 21.-The final days meeting of the State Medical Society was, in comparison with the session of yester- day, very tame affair. More than half of the members from San Francisco re- turned to their homes by the night train on Wednesday, after the banquet while a number of the men from the south took the afternoon train. The usual number of excellent papers were read and discussed In the morning the special committee ap- pointed to investigate the encounter be- tween Drs. Beverly Macmonagle and Pot ter reported They said that they mad investigated the matter and concluded that both men were nasty and should be censured. The report was, on motion of Dr. Carpenter. laid on the table, and so the matter ended for the time. What will happen if the two men meet, it is hard to say, but it is safe to prophecy that there will be trouble.
 In the afternoon the citizens of Fresno invited the members Of the society to drive through the vineyards of the coun- ty. The drive was most enjoyable and the members thoroughly appreciated the courtesy extended to them.
 In the evening papers were read by Drs. von Hoffman, Macmonagle, Briggs and Mckee. and large amount of rou- tine business was transacted. The. so- ciety then adjourned to meet next year at Monterey.

Some time ago I acquainted the Pres ident with my desire to retire, indicat- ing to him that l would of course await his selection of a suitable man as my successor. He found such a one in MT Smith
 Gary was asked if his resignation. coming at the time of the Spanish war crisis, could in any way be attributed to that. He said:
 That has not entered into the con- sideration in any way whatever. I have at all times supported President Mo- Kinley's policy on the Spanish question, and l support it now. My Cabinet re- lations have been most agreeable, and there have been no differences of pol icy"

 The nomination of Charles Emory Smith to be Postmaster General was confirmed by the Senate in executive session to-day without objection, The doors had no sooner closed on the ex- ecutive session than Senator Gear of the Postoffice Committee moved the confirmation of the nomination. Sen ator Quay then suggested that the nomination had not gone to Congress, and Senator Chandler moved to refer to the Committee on Postofhces. There was no objection to this course and the nomination was immediately reported pack and acted on forthwith, there be- ing no opposition. This expedition was rendered possible by the fact that the committee had previously been boiled. all the members voting for confirma- ton.

Three Long Overdue and at Seattle Are Given
 Up for Lost.
They Are the Chilean Ship Lake Lenan and Barks Santa
 Rosa and Forest Queen.
The Last Mentioned Left the Sound on March 6 for San Pedro and
 Probably Foundered.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 21-Along the water front much anxiety Is felt for the safety of three vessels, two of which are long overdue in this port, and one of which left the Sound early in March and has never been heard from since. The vessels bound for Seattle are the Chilean ship Lake Leman and the Peruvian bark Santa Rosa. The outbound vessel missing is the bark Forest Queen.
 She may turn up, but there seems to be little doubt that she has gone to the bottom like the ill-fated Ivanhoe and countless other sailing vessels that have gone out through the straits never to be heard of again.
 The Forest Queen sailed from the Sound on March 6 for San Pedro, Cal. She was lumber-laden and had aboard every stick she could carry. Her hold was filled with sawed lumber and her deck was piled high with heavy load of piles. The latter, it is believed, con- tributed to the disaster, if disaster has overtaken her.
 She ran out past Cape F1attery on March ', and it is believed encountered a series of heavy gales. The masters of several of the sailing vessels in port agree that the weight of the piles on her deck probably opened her seams during the terrible storms, and that she went down carrying with her all hands:
 The list of her officers and crew fol- lows: ]. W. Basley,. master, San Fran cisco; H. Alberts, first mate, San Fran cisco; c. A. Bell, second mate, Tacoma: c. Suzuki, cook, Tacoma; A. Baertson, seaman, San Francisco; c. Jaesen, sea- man, San Francisco; c. o. Anderson, seaman, San Francisco; Victor Boden, seaman, San Francisco, and Harvey Anderson, seaman, San Francisco.
 The Forest Queen was owned by Charles Nelson of San Francisco
 The Chilean ship Lake Leman, which left Guayaquil 253 days ago for Seattle. has been causing coast underwriters considerable anxiety. She is long over due, and it is feared in shipping circles that she has gone down with her large crew. The Lake Leman is in command of Captain Bozzo, an experienced navi- gator, and is a vessel of 1885 tons bur den.
 August 10, 1897, is the date on which she left Guayaquil The Peruvian bark Rosa left Payta, Peru. for Seattle July 2S, 1897, and has not been seen by any vessel since. She has been out 270 days and is long overdue here. She is com manded by Captain Roistein, and car rfes small crew. She Is a compara- lively new vessel of 430 tons.

reached several hundred delegates
coming from thirty-iour states, Aus.

The sessions continued three days
and the papers embraced many topics
OF interest to mining men In all
branches Of the industry. The most
important resolution adopted was ore
introduced by cx.Congrcssman c. L.

a law doing away with extra lateral
rights. This was compromise mea-
sure, the committee on laws having
recommended the nbrogation Of extra
lateral rights, the apex vein md the

The United States supreme court has
rendered decisions declaring uneonsti-
tutional the anti-oleomargarine laws OF
New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. II
IA Understood that the decisions really
strengthen the ELECTROMAGNETIC laws
Of most OF the states. In the ease OF
Pennsylvania the law simply prohibited
the manufacture and sale OF oleo-
margarine. and the question involved
was whether this applied to tho pro-
hibited product when coming into tho
state In original packages. II was do
cldod that II was unconstitutional 30
far as the origin'l okage was con-
eerned. In this decision seems to
follow that applying 10 liquors. Tho
New Hampshire case was somewhat
different. The law there compelled the
colorlng OF the butterino pink. This Ia
declared to be beyond the power OF the
state. Any addition OF matter Is an
adulteratlon In the decision OF the
judges. and n thing the law cannot
mako obligatory. Even II the states
have right 10 compel It's citizens
to color their oleomargarlne pink. they
cannot compel the citizens OF other
states TO do that before shipping the
butterine into New Hampshire.
The decisions appear 10 be- far-reach-
Ing In their effect. II dealers can sell
any size package ms an original peck
age, and can sell through agents. then
oleomargarlne can practically DO sold
In all the states as freely as II was Ia
previous times. This seems 20 us like
stretching the original package theory
out OF all proportion 10 lts real value.
Everyone knows that the original
package idea Is only a subterfuge by
which the state laws can DO eyaded.
