MADE THE DOCTOR SHOW CAUSE.
RossIand Has Petitfoned for the
Quarantine Removal.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer;
ROSSLAND, Il. c.. July 26.-The board
of trade in its protest against the do
minion smallpox quarantine, has made DR.,
Sinclair, the dominion quarantine officer
here show the reasons for 1t. The doctor
asked the board to delay sending its re-
quest to Ottawa for the removal of the
quarantine against the United States I'M
til he could give the reasons for it. He
then produced a letter from the Butte
health officer. dated July l, saying there
had been $50 cases in that city, but there
was none on that date. He also showed
a letter from Perry Wright, the quaran-
tine officer who rides on the Red Mountain
train and whose job depends on the con-
tinuance of the quarantine, saying he had
heard there was one case at Springdale
Wash.
After this weak showing the memorial
went on to Ottawa. The quarantine Is de-
clared unnecessary, a public nuisance,
and an obstruction to travel and business.
There Is more excuse for maintaining a
quarantine against Montreal. for the dis
ease prevails there, and J. c. Drewry, a
Rossland man who was confined in the
hospital there with smallpox. tells SEN
sational story of filth and neglect in that
institution

Special Dispatch to the Post-IntelIigencer:
TACOMA. July 26.--J. OBJ. Scobey. of
Olympia, was in the city today, as was also
$. A. Madge and ]. III. Price. Both ar.
Madge and Mr. Price has a large &C
quaintance among Pierce county Republic
ans. and have been in consultation with .he
party leaders in the interest OF the
Olympia candidate for governor. AMONG
the great majority of Pierce county Re
publican leaders II Is conceded that the
governor belongs to King and that Mr..
F'rink IL entitled to II. To this argument
the friends of Mr.. Scobey make no de-
muir. but say that II King county fails
to unite on man. II Mayor Humes
should show up sufficient strength to v,re-
vent Frink from securing the delegation,
then the candidate with the solid support
OF Southwestern Washington would be
entitled to the nomination. and 1t Is upon
this ground that they are preparing the
way for Mr.. Scohey to come to the front.
Mr.. Price stated today that II looked as
though the nomination would go to Frink
but that Scobey was in the race and had
more delegates than any other man. They
were not making a bitter fight. but were
all working for the good OF the party
and whoever was nominated would get the
most hearty support of the entire sout =
west.

AGAINST oyERcRowDING CARS.


Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteiligencer.
TACOMA July 26.-This evening the
city council will take up the considera-
ton OF the Jones street car ordinance,
which provides that no more passengers
shall be allowed on a street car than
there are seats The ordinance was in
troduced as one of the results of the sad
accident. by which so many citizens lost
their lives. but is meeting with much adj
verse criticism by residents who are COM
PEELED to patronize the street cars.
They say that IL they are not allowed
to ride on car unless there are seats
for them that IL will cause a very great
Inconvenience, particularly at those hours
when so many people are coming to their
work or returning home in the even
ing.
The cars they say. are constantly stop
ping TO take on and let off passengers,
and 20 compel a patron TO walt half an
hour for another car. because there is no
seat for him. would be absolutely fool
ish. The ordinance " likely to cause
much discussion. as It has two or three
ardent supporters.
