CONSUMPTION QUARANTINE.
california Health Authorities Con
sidcring the Question.

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-California
may establish a quarantine against
cOnsumptives. The state board of
health has passed the following reso.
luton, introduced by DR.. ID. ID. Grow.
ley:
Resolved, That the state board Of
health considers the propriety of quar-
antining against human beings and
domestic animals with tuberculosis
entering the state"
DIR. Crowley said: 1--WE are are NOR
bidly afraid of diphtheria, scarlet
fever, smallpox, cholera and yellow fc-
ycr. We quarantine these cases be-
cause they kill so quickly, but the linz
| gcring tubercular disease that eventu-
ally kills twice as many as all these
together is permitted to continue an
checked.
The feelings Of the relatives and
associates Of persons found to be suf-
fering from the bacilli are in every
reasonable way to be consulted. | con
cede that the consumptives already in
our midst have rights. | do not be.
licye in any way in compelling sick
people to give up n certain portion OF
their social life, or interfering with
their proper and safe association with
the members Of their families. Pa
tents, ] do think, ought not to attend
churches or theatres or general social
or publicgatherings. Nor ought they
occupy public c~onyeyances, as rail.
road ears, without special provision
being made for them.
81 may say further continued DR..
Crowley, in answer TO a question
that | do not believe that patients
suffering with consumption should be
permitted to enter hotels without the
rooms being protected by the health
officer of the community, acting in ac'
cordance with the general laws Of the
state. | further believe in q state sani.
tarium, or sanitorium, as the word Is
now rallied. This institution should
be away from any city, from 1000 tc
1900 feet above the sea level, where
patients could enjoy dry air and un.
dcrgo scientific treatment for tuber.

CHAIRMAN JONES' VIEWS.
General Reahrmation of Chicago
Platform His Idea.

New York, Sept. 19.-The Worlds
London correspondent says:
[ interviewed Senator Jones of Ar
kansas at the Langham hotel. The
senator is visiting Europe for his
health. which is much improved. Cues
toned on the democratic platform, he
said:
THE campaign is too far off to state
positively what the platform will be,
but in my opinion il should be against
imperialism and in favor of a control
of trusts, in fact, in a general way a
reatfirmation of the Chicago platform.
1t would involve bimetallism and
would also involve q demand for a re-
vision Of the tariff when necessary, for
tariff revision would be perhaps the
more emphatic by reason of the Ding
ley bill being now on the statute
books. / think the democratic party
is likely to express itself positively
on the questions of Imperialism and
control of trusts"
When asked: Have you seen the
strongly expressed opinions of Ad-
miral Dewey on Imperialism and in
favor of giving autonomy to the Fill
pinos," Jones replied that he had not
heard that before. 81 have not seen
many newspapers lately, but am very
glad to hear it," said he.
Jones will spend the mex ten days
in Ireland. He leaves Queenstown for
New York on the 30th.

thing is certain, that dualism in South
Africa will end forever"
The Daily Chronicle says: 1--WE re-
gret that the Beers, by rejec ing a fair
offer made in fair language, have
taken a line giving fresh point to the
argument of their enemies, that Presi-
dent Kruger is a shifty and imprac-
ticable politician, fit only to be spoken
to across a line of bayonets."
These extracts fairly represent press
opinion in London. All the papers
characterize the attempt to represent
Conyngham Greene as suggesting the
Transvaal's former proposals as mere
shifty pTevarication.
All the dispatches from South Africa
this morning talk of the imminence OF
hostilities and the preparations for
them. In johannesburg il seems to
be taken for granted that the Orange
Free State has approved President
Krueger's note and promised active as
sistance in the event of war.
An official telegram posted at Nolks-
rust says that the Transvaal, with the
assent of the Orange Free State. re-
pudiates British suZerainty and adj
heres to the seven year franchise.
At Cape Town il is reported h a
Mr.. Hofmeyer, the A~frikander leader,
sent n communication to President
Steyn, Of the Orange Free State, en-
treating him to do his utmost to pre-
serve peace, but that he received in
answer the words: Too late"
All military men agree that it is out
of the question to begin hostile oper-
atoms before the middle of next
month, no rain having fallen and the
yeldt being still bare.

cral Opinion.

cral Opinion.
London, Sept. 19.-Thc reply of the
Transvaal government TO Mr.. Cham
Gerlain's latest note is said to cover
nine pages. 1t is %eminently of the
negative and inconclusivG'' character
which Mr.. Chamberlain declared
would compel the imperial govern
ment to consider the situation afresh.
1t practically repudiates suzerainty,
reverts to the seven years franchise
and declines to give equality to the
Dutch and English languages in the
volksraad. In short it is politely, mega
lively defiant. The full text will not
be available for a day or two, but it
will not change the aspect of affairs.
The cabinet will probably meet on
Wednesday or Thursday to consider
the next step.
The Morning Post says: THE Beers
mean to fight. That is the plain Eng
lish of it,
The Standard says: "rhe Transvaal
note is unsatisfactory and indeed a
dangerous composition. 1t is idle to
deny that the rulers of the Transvaal
have brought their country very close
to the brink of a disaster which the
British government has done its best
TO avert"
The Daily Mail says: President
Krueger's defiance has terminated a
long period of unrest and uncertainty
in South Africa, for whatever may be
the issue of the present situation one

The appropriation for the chemical
and physical laboratories Will give
lhese departments greater facilities

which the heads of departments will
not be slow to make the most efficient

East hall has not been neglected
among all the other Improvements.
The separate heating plant has been
removed, and the building connected

HARD MONEY MARKET.
Tightness Due to the Treasury
Heavy Drain on Banks.

U PuC w NV
Heavy Drain on Banks.
New York, Sept. 19.-The Financiar
says: The clearing house banks of
New York City, according ID their re-
port for the week ending September
lG, lost about Sc 5000, geo in cash as a re-
suit of the previous six days opera
tons. More than half of this was alb
sorbed by the treasury and the rest
went to the interior. The banks re-
ported September 0 less than $3,00O,OOO
cash over legal requirements, so that
the decrease for the week was larger
than the available fund from which
to draw it. The result, needless to
say, was accomplished by a heavy con-
traction in loans, with a resultant
shrinking in deposits. Despite the loss,
therefore, the banks still hold $275,45O
more reserve than required by law.
Practically they have reached the
limit of their power to supply new
money, and further demands must be
met by renewed operations OF the
character named-that is, borrowers
will be called upon to liquidate their
indebtedness. This ~foreshadows,
naturally, a continued hard money
market, although rates do not seem
to be able to hold above 6 per cent
under circumstances that ordinarily
would indicate a money famine. The
truth of the matter is that the situa-
ton is so well understood that there is
no apprehension whatever. If money
works much higher in New York, the
idle SURPRISES which are held else
where will be quickly forced to this
center, with a consequent lessening of
pressure. The trouble from a bank
ing standpoint is the heavy drain
which the treasury is making on the
banks. The loss since the end of July
has been upward of SIT, 900 200, a sum
much greater than has gone TO the in
terror. Once this drain is relieved, all
trouble over the future will be elimi-
mated. At present, however, it is a
serious fector. One year ago, il may
be remarked, the excess reserve of the
New York banks was only above
S., O0O, 900, but a few weeks later the
total had risen to $4,000, 900.
Gold imports assisted in creating
this increase. There is no immediate
sign that last years method of re-
cuperation is to be repeated now.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-A report has
Jeen received by mail at the war de.
irtment giving an account OF the cap
ure and destruction Of the steamer
,aturnus, which carried $4,000 in cash
md q valuable cargo. The report fol-
ows:
THE United States gunGoat Pam
| )anga arrived here yesterday morning,
| bringing news of the capture Of the
leanier Saturnus, as follows:
"'The Saturnus sailed from Manila
he morning Of July 80 for San Fer
iando la Union, on the north side of

jmao and APART, all of which are

"'When discovered by the gunboat

I the city of San Fernando. Both
nchors were out and smoke, which
covered closely over the vessel, showed
t TO be on fire. Small boats with ma
i've crews could be seen carrying the

1.-The Pampanga sent a boat out TO
Investigate, but upon its approach the
iatives Immediately retired and
pened fire upon the boats crew from
oncealed trenches with mauscrs and
battery.
1.-The officers on the Pampanga or
!ered the fire from the rebel TO he re-
irned and under cover OF the guns Of
he warship the boat reached the Sa-
,urnus. A brief inspection of the yes
el showed every indication that it had
been looted by the rebels.
THE boats crew attempted TO raise
he anchors, but failing in this they cut
he anchor chains and attached a haw-
ser from the Pampanga to the pro-
'eller OF the Saturnus. An unsuccess-
III attempt was made to pull it out Of
he mud and sand. The Pampagna
hen abandoned the wrecked SaturnuS
nd s!gnaled the Concord and reported
20 its commander. The Pampanga
hereupon was ordered to Manila to
port the affair while the Concord re-
aimed TO attend to the rebels and
wreck.

Treated Better Than Spanish Cap
tives, but That Is Not Saying
Much--FiIipinos' Mys-
tcrious Friends.

New York, Sept. 1s.-A special to
the Journal ard Advertiser from
Washington says:
News concerning Gilmore and four
teen of the enlisted men of the York
town who were captured by the Fill
pinos at Baler more than six months
ago, has reached Washington in let
tiers to military officials from then
fellow officers in the islands. The lat
est information comes through n
Spanish planter by the name OF Cara,
who was imprisoned by the insurrec-
tionists and subsequently made his es-
cape. CARA described Lieutenant
Gilmore and his companions TO officers
in Manila. He said that the officer
and fourteen men were at Bigaa,
where they were subsistng off a mea-
ger quantity of rice valued at not
more than one peseta per man per
day. The allowance was more liberal
han that for the Spanish prisoners,
every one of whom was allotted one
half peseta per day. There were fully
1000 of the latter at Bigaa, Cara
says, and all prisoners, Spanish and
American. showed the effect of the
confinement and the poor and INSULT
cient food. He is quoted as saying that
the captives could not stand SUCH
hardship and such fare much longer.
Cara also described the extent of
the force at Bigaa, where fully 5000
Filipinos are under arms. Some of
the weapons are mausers, with which
the troops on the line are being
equipped steadily. The sources of sup
ply evidently amazed CARA, as it has
those in authority in Manila. lie said
the old weapons were being distrib-
uted to the troops in the interior and
that the armament of the infantry
goes on to an alarming extent,
CARA also reports that the Filipinos
in some instances were equipped with
the uniform of Americans, including
the cork helmet. These articles evil
IDENTIFY came from the steamer Centen-
NAL. which went on the reef on the
northwestern coast of Luzon and was
promptly looted. CARA witnessed
also the destruction of the Saturnus,
of which he furnished a vivid account
to the authorities.
Navy department officials say that
steps have already been taken to re-
lieve Lieutenant Gilmore and his
party.

No Declaration of War i'm a Clash
Between Beers and Britons.
London, Sept. 1S.-(Copyright, 1899,
by the Associated Press.)- Specula-
ton regarding the events that would
Immediately precede and follow hos
|tilities with the Transvaal continues
to occupy public attention. 1t APP
pears that no declaration of war is
necessary. The process, according to
good authority, would be a proclama-
ton by the British high commission
| er, Sir Alfred Miner, stating that the
convention of London is annulled and
that Queen Victoria has resumed the
government of the country known as
the South African Republic. The gem
eral commanding the British eXpedi-
tionary forces would then be instruct
ed 20 occupy the Transvaal and hold
it until a fresh government is estab-
iished. When the country is pacitied
Il commission, doubtless representing
all classes of the inhabitants Of the
Transvaal, would be appointed to
draft a new constitution.
That all this is easier said than lone
is quite palpable even to the most en-
thusiastic Englishman. Estimates Of
the strength of the Beers widely di-
verge. John Morley referred to them
as able to put an army of $4,000 men
in the field, while the war Office otfi-
Gals seem to think that $4,000 is all
they could muster. AS n matter of
fact, their strength entirely depends
upon the assistance they receive from
the Orange Free State and the natives,
which it is impossible to gauge. The
present atmosphere of war has enor-
mously stimulated army recruiting.
Crowds of young men surround the
offices and daily large patches take
the queens shilling.
General Foreign Gossip.
In Belgium the Dreyfus excitement
has resulted in the issuing of pictorial
post cards bearing portraits of the
prominent figures in the Rennes
drama and even reproductions of the
handwriting of Dreyfus and Ester
hazy.
The queen has been dragged
into the church fight. She is quoted
as saying to a clergyman regarding
the archbishop's decision: Surely, if
incense is illegal now it must have
been so fifty years ago. Why did they
not discover it sooner?" s
Commenting upon the difficulty eX-
perienced in finding n successor, as
ambassador TO Washington, to Lord
~Pauncefote, n weekly paper says it is
more than likely that Sir Thomas
Henry Sanderson, X. c. G., permanent
under secretary of state for foreign
affairs since 1884, will receive the APP
pointment to Washington as a reward
for his long services in the permanent
under-secretaryship.
