CABLE TO THE
 FARALL0N ISLANDS
CONGRESS TO BE ASKED FOR AN
 APPROPRIATION.
Secretary Wilson Says That Sixty Thousand Will Be Sufficient to
 Construct Line.

There is every prospect that before very long the Farallon Islands will be connect ed with this city by submarine cable Hugh Craig, president of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday received a letter from Senator Perkins inclosing a commu- nication from James Wilson, secretary of the Bureau of Agriculture, which is as follows:
 My Dear Senator: Replying to your letter of recent date transmitting resolutions adopted by the California Chamber of Commerce. pe ttioning for the establishing and maintaining of a telegraph cable line from San Francisco to the Farallon Islands. I have the honor to inform you that the matter was referred to the chief of the Weather Bureau for investiga- tion and full report. That official states that such line would be of some value to thS forecaster in predicting weather changes, al though 1t would not be nearly valuable for this purpose as the meteorological station now being erected on Mount Tamalpais Its chief utility from meteorological standpoint would be in forecasting the fogs that move in from the ocean. The marine and commercial inter ests of San Francisco would derive the great est value from such line. Vessels coming from the north, south and west could be sight ed from the Farallon Islands many hours be- fore they reached San Francisco. Often ves- sells are becalmed off the islands, sometimes for a period of week. With telegraphic infor- nation direct to San Francisco delays of this kind would be obviated assistance could be called for from San Francisco and the be- calmed vessels lowed into that port. Besides

DISEASE AT CAMP MERRITT.
Health Officer Gallwey Advises the
 Public to Avoid Danger.

Dr. George C. McDonaIu of 23 O'Farrell street is after the scalp of Dr. w. P. Chalmers, Quarantine Officer. In a com munication read at special meeting of the Board of Health held yesterday morn. ing Dr. Mcdonald declared that pr. Chalmers had been guilty of using his official position to secure private practice from the ships that visit this port. The matter was referred to the Quarantine Committee of the board for investigation.
 Health Officer Gallwey reported that he found that the public complaints made against the sanitary condition of Camp Merritt were in many instances well founded He advised that inasmuch as contagious diseases exist in the camp, the public should remain away from 1t, and thus prevent the possibility of spreading disease throughout the city
 pr. Dudley, resident physician of the City and County Hospital, who has been mustered in as one of the surgeons of the Eighth California Regiment, was granted a six months leave of absence. Dr. E. K. Hopkins was appointed to suc- ceed him. Dr. Fred c. Muller was ap- pointed an interne, and Dr. Moffatt was made assistant visiting physician at the hospital.
 John J. Harrison and F. B. Corbett were appointed inspectors of garbage transportation at a salary of $100 a month each.

FATHER YORkE ON YELLOW
 JOURNALISM DenOunCes Examiner and Bulletin.
ENEMIES TO CATHOLICISM
CATHOLICS ADVISED NOT TO
 READ THEM.
Stirring Address on Lessons From the War" to the Catholic Truth
 Society.

Rev. Father Yorke delivered an address last night in St. Mary's Cathedral to the Catholic Truth Society, on lessons from the war, during which he took occasion to vigorously denounce yellow journal ism, and paid particular attention to the Examiner and Bulletin.
 The sacred edifice was crowded, and among the congregation were a number of soldiers from Camp Merritt
 The reverend father said he would speak on lessons which may be drawn from the present war with Spain, to Catholics as citizens of the common wealth and to the Catholic church. He referred to the difference In the tone and temper of the people after the wars of the past, and said there would be the same changes after the present war was over: We u.I not see these changes, as we were actors in them, but they would be realized fully by those coming after us.
 Spain Ae said, was not Catholic coun- try, although 1t was a country where the Catholic religion was almost exclusively professed lie instanced the difference, and pointed out that for the past 100 years spain had been run on principles entirely inimical to the Catholic church. He blamed the introduction of FreemaSonry into the country as the cause for this change, as 1t was well known that that
 
 Protestant ministers had been preach- ing that the war with Spain was a su- preme struggle between Professionalism and Catholicism, which was an infamous lie. One-third of the soldiers that had offered their services to fight the battles of their country were Catholics, and therefore he repeated that it was an in famous lie to assert that this was d Pro- teStant war
 They might expect that treatment from Protestant preachers but they had a right to expect different treatment from the newspapers. In last Sundays yellow sup plement of one of the morning papers, the San Francisco Examiner, the Catho- lie church was symbolized as the devil with the usual horns and hoofs.
 Raising his voice the reverend Father said: You are not bound as Catholic men and women to take that paper into your homes and have your children scandalized by such pictures and such infamous lies propagated about your church."
 Continuing he said: An evening paper. the Bulletin, also contained an article written by Henry c. Lee, asserting that the Catholic church was the cause of the decadence of Spain anS no reason was given for the assertion except the ipse diXit of an ignoramus."
 He praised the work of the Catholic women who had ministered to the moral

THE TURNERBUND'S
 SECOND SESSION
PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS OF A
 COMMITTEE REPORT.
The Delegates See Chinatown by Gas light Under Police Protection
 and Enjoy Themselves.

The second days session of the North American Turnerbund was held yesterday at Turn Verein Hall on Turk street, the new president, Emil. Wallber presiding.
 The members of the bund displayed their patriotism shortly before the ad- Journment of the forenoon session, when G. Donald of Iowa had concluded the mittee. MT. Donald spoke of the attitude of the turner's toward their country, America, and of Americas war with Spain. The turner's were Americans, he said, and with them their rallying cry was now, 'One flag, one country, one honor" few more rousing sentiments were expressed by other members, all against any and all European nations.
 There was good-natured fight on be- tween the friends who favored Chicago and the supporters of Indianapolis as the place in which to maintain the head of fees of the Turnerbund St. Louis has been the headquarters of the union for many years, and both Chicago and h. dianapolis are united in the belief that it Is time for change.
 The affairs of the bund pending the next meeting will be attended to by the Turn Vereins in Indianapons. By a vote of 254 to 100 Philadelphia won against Chicago as the place where the next bund will be held in 1900.
 The German-American Turnzeitung of Milwaukee has been again selected as the official organ of the bund.
 The question of paying off the deficit of S3500, which was incurred in Milwaukee four years ago, occupied the attention of the convention some time. It was finally decided to levy an assessment of 5 cents per capita on the members, which will more than meet the demand
 The manner of conducting the summer school and the number of pupils which would justify the formation of a class was debated on and it was finally decided that the school should be maintained.

The receipts of the Internal Revenue Collectors office yesterday for stamps and licenses were, in round numbers, $3O, = 900.
 The Commissioner of Internal Revenue in Washington is kept busy interpreting disputed points of law, and is daily send ing forth bulletins for the information Of Collectors and the business public The Following were received by MT. Lynch yesterday:
 The following rules and regulations have been issued by the Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue relating to tax on legacies and distributive shares, under the war revenue bill:
 The tax on legaces and distrbutiye shares oI personal property accrues where passing rom any person dying or after June 13,
 The law does not apply to estates now in process of settlement, when the grantor died before June 13, 1S9S
 The tax must be paid on a legacy before it's distribution to the legatees
 NO tax is due unless the whole amount of s@ala @ personal property passing from the dece- dent exceeds in value $10, GOO.
 The fact that certain distributive shares aris- Ing rom the personal property of an estate are represented by bonds of the United States shares to be exempt from tax on legacies and distributive shares under the internal revenue laws

and material welfare of the soldiers at Camp Merritt At first they were refused permission to carry on their noble work the proper authorities before Catholic sol diers were permitted to worship God ac- cording to the dictates of their own con science. In this connection he took occa- sion to protest against the appointment of Protestant ministers to all the regiments But he supposed it was the first chance they had of getting a salary from Uncle Sam and they were eager to grasp 1t.
 The one great lesson to be drawn from the war was that it was not a Protestant war and if Catholics would bury their per sonal jealouseS and stand united no Protestant preacher and no newspaper would dare to claim that it was a Protes- country

many instances are on record of vessels with valuable cargoes being wrecked on the rocks in the vicinity of these islands. In such cases the value of a cable line to San Francisco would be incalculable. During war with an other country a hostile fleet might be report ed from the islands in time to prepare fot defense The life saving service could also make good of such cable in connection with their station already established on the Farallon Islands. It will thus be seen that a cable from San Francisco to these islands would be of great benefit The distance Is about thirty miles, and the cost of constructing and establishing such cable would be about $50, GOO. A house would be required the sl- ands for the of the observers and operators, which would cost about S3000. The mainten- ance of the station, and the salary of the nec- essary observers, operators, and labor would require about S3000 per annum. An appro- priation of S60 001 would be sufficient for all the purposes named, and other incidentals. Very truly yours, JAMES WILSON, Secretary.
 MT. Craig at once sent the annexed re- ply to the Senator urging him to hasten the appropriation of the money for the cable:
