SAN FRANCISCO, June 3O.-The
steamer Nippon Maru, tied up at the
Pacific Mail dock early this morning
and her cargo was about to be dis
charged, when a squad of policemen
announced the embargo laid by order
Of the Board Of Health These orders
were to prevent any person or article
leaving the vessel and to warn anybody
boarding her that he would have to re-
main on board, pending the settlement
of the question as to whether or not
the Maru is still tainted with bubonic
plague.
Work about the steamer remained at
standstill during the day. Late in
the afternoon the Health Officer or
dered the steamer away from dockage
and into the stream. The steamship
people claim to have clearance paper S
from the Federal Quarantine Officer
and the old conflict of authority be-
tween Federal and State quarantine
officials has been renewed, the former
permitting the vessel docking and the
latter ordering her away from the
wharf. Meantime nothing of the cargo
has been removed from the vessel,
which has been thoroughly fumigated
throughout. The delay in discharging
the cargo is costing the Nippon Maru
$500 per day. The passengers who ar
rived on the steamer are still detained
at the Angel Island quarantine sta
ton by the Federal authorities, who,
however, released the steamer from
quarantine.
At meeting of the local Board Of
Health held tonight the order of the
Health Officer that the Nippon Maru
must go at once into the stream, was
approved and reiterated. This order
will be peremptorily enforced to-mor-
row, and the steamer and cargo must
be subjected to another fumigation, to
take place in the stream, where the
vessel is ordered to remain for forty
eight hours. If there shall be any de-
fiance of. this order or any attempt to
land freight from the steamer, the Off
GERS, agents and owners of the ship
will be Immediately arrested and the
landing of any one now on board the
steamer will result in his confinement
at the pest house for fifteen days or
more.

CHICAGO AT DELAGoA BAY.
Visit Of Admiral Howison to Pre-
toria Not Significant.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The Chi
cago, which arrived at Delagoa Bay
yesterday, is several days ahead Of her
schedule time. According to the itin-
erary arranged before the ship sailed
from New York, she was to arrive at
Delagoa Bay July 5.
The visit of Admiral Howison to Pre-
tolia is said to have no political sig
nificance, although it is not unusual for
an Admiral to leave his ship to pro-
coed overland into another country.
Undoubtedly the Admiral will consult
with the American Consul-General at
Pretoria respecting the outlook in the
Transvaal, and will be guided largely
by his advice as to how long the Chi
cago will be detained at Delagoa Bay,
which is the nearest port to the Trans

not attempt to operate their packing

poned for few days chances for sue
cess would be much better. as in the
meantime an organization could be per-
fected. Many of the employees strong
ly argued against any further extern
sion of the strike at present.

AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION.
Mills That Do Not Sign the Scale
Will Shut Down.

PITTSBURG, June 3O.-All the an
nual scales of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron, Tin, Steel and Plate
| Workers of the United States expire at
| midnight tonight and if operations are
to continue with the present employees,
| the new schedule of wages prepared by
! the amalgamated convention at De-
| troit must be accepted before that time
However the situation turns out in the
end, it is certain that not all of the
mills will be concerned in a stopping
of operations.
| A number Of manufacturers have al
ready stated their intention to sign the
scale and the workers believe that be-
| fore midnight others will accept the
terms and renew relations with the or
| ganization. From the attitude taken
by some of the manufacturers, it is
sure that some of the mills will not
work after to-day with their present
employees. At some of them the scale
of the Amalgamated Association has
been paid and the manufacturers are
willing to pay the new rate, but with
the association itself they will have
nothing to do. This may cause trouble,
but as work is so plentiful it is thought
the men will quietly seek employment
elsewhere, as they did at the Moor
head plant, where the firm refused to
recognize the organization and dis
charged the puddlers, replacing them
with negroes
| Secretary John Williams Of the
Amalgamated Association was san
guine to-day that matters would come
out all right, but was not bound by
predictions or promises. He said the
association is on a sure basis especially
in the Pittsburg district and that the
| lodges which had gone to pieces during
the past few years had been reorgan-
! lZed and would present the iron scale to
their employers individually. CONTINUE
ance Of operations will not depend up
| on single plants as heretofore When the
scale was accepted or rejected in con-
| ference for all mills
| Work will continue at the mills which
accept the scale and labor will cease at
places which refuse recognition. This
program, he says, would apply at al
mills whether now classed uhder the
name of union plants or non-unio.l.
! Mills that are non-union to -day will
appear as union plants tomorrow after
the scale has been presented. 1a
secretary Williams said the scale
would be offered at almost every mill,
but exactly how many, he declined to
say He said that the association had
been assured by a number of manllfac-
turers-some of whom have not been
union manufacturers either--that they
would sign the scale and from that he
believes the situation will pe handled
without trouble. In the matter of the
tln-p plate factories general shutdown
would take place tonight, pending the
action Of the lodges on the scale re-
| quested by the manufacturers.
