NO PLAGUE AT FRIsco..

Gov. Gage Sayr There Never Has
Been a Case of the Dixease i'm the
State.
San Francisco, June 15.-Gov Gage
yesterday sent lengthy communicar
ton to Secretary of State Hay in re-
ply to the latters request for infor-
nation regarding the alleged existence
Of bubOnic plague in the Chinese quar-
ter of San Francisco. In his report
Gov. Gage says: ''FrOm the best light
l have been able to procure and from
a most careful consideration Of the
whole subject 1 am pleased to inform
your excellency that l firmly believe
no case of bubonic plague has at any
time existed within the borders Of our
state. The medical gentlemen and ex-
perts of the board of health and the
federal quarantine officials who have
ventured the injurious opinions which
have spread broadcast over the world
the rumOr of the existence of the
dreadful plague in the great and
healtEful city Of San Francisco have
never seen living case Of plague,
whereas, some among the surgeons.
physicians and scientists with whom L
have advised, have had personal eX-
perience and wide opportunities in OBJ
serving the bubonic plague when it
was raging in India and elsewhere, and
they all pronounce the susI ected cases
here not bubonic plague. If the cases
referred to We're genuine plague, even
then the quarantine as conducted by
the city board of health in conjunction
with the federal quarantine officer, is
discriminating against the Chinese,
and also unreasonable, according to
information derived from the highest
authority here procurable."
Accompanying the report is the con-
currence of a number Of physicians
and business men of this city.

National Republican Committee
Meets at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, June 15.-With the ar
rival of the advance guard to the
opening session of the national Re-
publican committee yesterday Phila-
delphia has begun to assume con-
venton air The committee had it's
first formal meeting yesterday at the
Hotel Walton AMI Immediately begun
consideration Of contests for member
ship in the convention. These are not
so numerous as in proceeding conven-
tions and relates principally to the con-
troll of state and district organizations,
and many of the contestants have
been before the national committee
before seeking admission to the con-
vention. Practically the only contests
of Importance are r!,os, from Delaware
and Tennessee, although develop
ments yesterday afternoon accentu-
ated the Alabama case. From Della
ware Mr.. Addix is again seeking al.
mission and the fight is especially in
terestins because OF the bearing it may
have upon the election of two sena-
tors next winter. The friends Of Pen
sion Commissioner Evans and Repre-
sentative Brownlow Of Tennessee are
fighting for control of the Republican
organization of the state and both are
here. In tho state contest the main
point is involved in the control Of the
local organization. The Alabama con-
tests consumed all the afternoon and
resulted in decision Of the commit
tee to place the names of delegates of
airhar faction on thptamnOrary roll
except those from the Ninth district.
These are DR.. Hughes and Addison
Winds. both Of the socalled Vaughan
faction. The action Of the committee
was controlled largely by the fact de-
veloped in the hearing that. federal Of
ficeholders had taken very active
part on both sides of the controversy
in shaping the result. This circum-
stance was indeed so persistently
brought out that Acting Chairman
Payne introduced a resolution late in
the afternoon calling upon the presl-
dent TO investigate the case.
