We have received a copy of the
biennial report of the Board of
Control Of the Lepers' Home. in
which we find some very impor-
tant recommendations to the Leg
lature which should be acted on
without delay. This home is To-
Gated on rented property and the
term OF lease expires next year.
AS the present location does not
afford the isolation necessary for
an institution of that kind the
State should find some more suit
able place, buy it and permanent
ly locate the home. In connec-
ton with these suggestions the
board also point out the ineffec-
tive parts of the law requiring the
compulsion of the attendance of
lepers at the home. Family ply
sicians should be required to re-
port all cases within their knowl-
edge, and the board should have
power to have the lepers taken to
the home. The permanent loca-
ton of the home at some suitable
point on the lake shore.

Chaplain in Entering the

Although Wounded in the First Attempt He
Succeeded in Carrying Out His HuDoDe

BY SOL N. SHERIDAN.
Special Correspondence of The Call

CAMP DEWEY, with the American
Army of Occupation before Manila,
August 10.-Rev. Father John McKin-
non, chaplain of the First California
Volunteers, has just performed an act
without parallel in the history of mod
ern warfare-an act of unselfish bra
very, of devotion to the sacred cause
of peace which should make his name
live forever, even though his mission
failed Alone, unarmed, without even
the protection of the Red Cross badge,
and with no knowledge of the Spanish
language, Father McKinnon to-day
walked from the American camp
through the Spanish lines into the city
OF Manila.
When the Paulist Father Dougherty,
also we'll known in San Francisco,
came out as chaplain to General Mer-
rift there was at once talk of a visit
to the Archbishop of Manila, who, it
was understood, had been most largely
instrumental in nerving the Spanish
Governor General to resistance in order
that a capitalization might be arranged
upon terms honorable to both parties
and the further effusion of blood
stopped.
Father Dougherty selected Father
McKinnon as the fittest man to &C
company him upon this mission. and
General Merritt and Admiral Dewey
both gave consent, although with some
reluctance. 1t was at first proposed
that the two priests should be taken
into the city in the Belgian ConsuPs
launch as that gentleman had been in
defatigable in his efforts to save Ma
Mia from destruction. The Consul
promised to take them into the city,

carriage at the disposal of the Ameri-
can priest for the purpose of calling
upon the Governor General. He also
gave to the good father the card which
l inclose herewith.
Father McKinnon was driven across
the Juneta and through the walled city
In the Archbishop's carriage, drawn by
a pair Of milk-whte horses, seeing evil
dences on every hand that the people
were suffering the pangs of hunger
Small wonder all who could get away
had left the city gladly when Dewey
sent in his notice of bombardment
Alvarez received Father McKinnon
most cordially. but gave even less hope
Of an immediate cessation of hostilities
than had been given by the Archbishop.
The Spaniards, he said, must resist the
American fleet and army before Manila
The city was their last stronghold The
Americans possibly were strong enough
to take the place. Certainly their fleet
gave them a distinct advantage. Never
theless there would be, there must be
resistance.
The Governor General had Father
McKinnon escorted to the Spanish
theless there would be, there must be
through the lines. He returned to
camp tonight, as 1 have said, and was
honestly surprised to find that his
pluck had made him a hero.

The much discussed Brown contact
electric system of operating street cars,
now in use on the lines of the Capital
Railway Company in Southeast Wash
ington and which has during the past
few months been the subject of both CEN
sure and praise from the contending rail-
way factions of that section of the city,
has been given another extension of time
in which TO prove its efficiency and prac-
ticabiiity.
The residents of Southeast Washing
ton. or, at least. large number of them.
wrote to the District Commissioners last
August protesting against any further
extension of the time previously granted
10 the company in which to test its sys-
tenn Shortly afterward the Congress
Heights Citizens Association addressed a
communication to the Commissioners in
dorsing the contact system and branding
the statements of the signers of the petit
tion In questionsas inaccurate in as many
respects as they were absurd in other re-
spects.
While the Commissioners were in this
quandary the Capital Railway people
asked for a further extension of time for
a period of ninety days in which to fully
test the road as it now stands The re-
quest was referred to Walter C. Allen,
the electrical engineer, who handed the
Commissioners lengthy technical report
derogatory to the Brown system. After
receiving this report the commissioners
decided as a matter of fairness to grant
the railway company an extension of
time for sixty days In which to test the
system That time expired on Wednes-
day last and another request was receiv-
ed by the Commissioners for an extern
sion of time for similar period and for
a similar purpose. The request was again
granted and late yesterday afternoon the
following order was issued:
Ordered that the Capital Railway
Company is hereby granted sixty days
further in which to test the workings of
the Brown underground electric system
as now installed on its lines on Eleventh
and NJ Streets southeast on condition
that the boxes are to be tested as they
now exist in the street and that they are
not to be removed or repaired: that the
company Is TO keep sufficient men en-
ployed along the line of the road to make
sure that no live boxes exist, and if such
are found and the system appears dan
gerous and impracticable at any time
during the stxty-day extension, said ex-
tension is to Immediately cease. This ex-
tension is subject also to the conditions
of the order of March Z. 1898, relative to
the use of the Brown underground sys-
tenn on Eleventh and NJ Streets SOUTH
