CARMICHAEL MAY LEAVE
SAN FRANCISCO WANTS HIM FOR
QUARANTINE OFFICER.
High Handed Course by DR.. Kinyoun
has resulted in a Demand for More
Moderate Methods.

There is strong possibility that DR..
Carmichael, the Federal quarantine Of
hcer at this port, may not continue in
his present office much longer. 1t will
not be due to any dissatisfaction which
his administration has given Honolulu
for, on the contrary, he has been a
thoroughly efficient and courteous Of
hcer, but because San Francisco is de-
sirous of having him serve in a similar
capacity at that port.
DR.. j. j. Kinyoun the present Federal
quarantine officer at San Francisco has
brought the universal condemnation of
the community upon himself by his OBJ
stinate stand upon the alleged bubonic
plague in that city. Ever since he
peremptorily ordered a quarantine of
the state, the powerful interests have
been at work seeking his dismissal
This is especially so in San Francisco
where the commercial interests have
been working hard to have the man
removed. The recent treatment given
the cabin passengers of the Coptic by
DIR. kinyOun's assistants has raised an
even greater resentment against him
and his continuance in office has been
made matter ofgopposition by both the
chamber of commerce and the board of
trade Of San Francisco.
In Or. Carmichael of this port the
leading men of San Francisco see a
deliverer. He is well known there for
ne served as quarantine officer two
years from 1892 to 1894 and during that
period his administration was salts
factory. Practically all of the leading
people in San Francisco who have taken
any interest in the matter have ex-
| pressed a desire for the return of Dr.
Carmichael and already steps have been
taken to bring his name before the au-
| thorities at Washington, and urge his
appointment to supercede DR.. Kinyoun.
In such an appointment the people Of
San Francisco think they see double
| slap at Kinyoun, for in addition to
causing the latter the chagrin of re-
| moVal the fact that DR.. Carmichael
superseded him would also cause addi-
| tional annoyance. It would be a rebuke
| to kinyoun for the latter has on more
| than one occasion showed rank dis
courtesy toward DR.. Carmichael, the
most recent and glazing instance being
the treatment which he gave the Coptic
passengers in requiring them to be sub
| jected to a physical examination after
DR.. Carmichael the Federal officer of
an American port had given the vessel
a clean bill of health.
DR.. Carmichael was asked regarding
the desire of the San Francisco people
for his return. He said that he had
heard some thing of it. While such a
| request was highly complimentary he
said he did not desire to be reappointed
| to that port. 1t is very probable that
/ Honolulu may seek to prevent DR.. Car
! michael being transferred from this
port if it be found that the San Fran
cisco influence is apt to carry its point.
