INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE
EVANGELIST OLIVER DELIVERS
A STRONG SERMON.
Large Congregation Heard His Re
marks at the Tiff Church Last
Night.

Evangelist Oliver preached to a large
congregation last evening. His text
was taken from the first book of Peter.
4th chapter, 18th verse: What Shall
the End be of Them that Obey not the
Gospel of God?"
All scripture is given by inspiration
of God said Mr.. Oliver; and I want
TO say tonight that the judgments pro-
nOunced by this book upon sinful men
are unpleasant from any standpoint.
The end of things temporal amounts
to nothing compared 20 the end of
those who refuse to obey the gospel Of
God. Eternity and loss are the words
that ! would like to pronounce tonight
as Jesus Christ would pronounce them;
eternity and loss that stare at US from
afar, and from which none of Us can
escape. Why are so many men out of
touch with eternity because Of sin,
everlasting sin. There is but one soIi-
tary heart beat between every. person
in my audience and eternity. and vet
men and women sit before me hard
hearted, and heedlessly rejecting the
plan of salvation that God has offered
them.
There are two classes Of men that
l would ike to have listen TO me TO-
night: those who are engrossed in the
affairs of the world and pay no atten-
ton to things spiritual. and those who
are STEPPED in vice and crime. 1 want
you to think of the words of the text
tonight with the same degTee of hon
osty and cand0r that you would if the
day Of judgment We're emblazoned on
the horizon of your thoughts. The re-
port has reached US from heaven that
all men are condemned: God sent Christ
to suffer for the sins Of the world. and
&c IL
viii wash out all our iniquities, and
cancel all our sins. No man, unless
he accept Christ can ever reach the
holy Of holes.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
and thou shalt be s1ved. Some people
say that they don't know whether
they are elected Of God or not. Moody
seid. the elected are those whatsoever
wills, and the nOn-elected are they
whosoeyer wills not I don't care how
hardened q man may be; he is not
satisfied in sin

NEW CASES AT HONOLULU.
Radical Steps To Be Taken to Stamp
Out the Scourge.

OuL InC 6COAA
Honolulu, Jan. 1 (via San Francisco.
Jan. S).-Seven additional cases Of
plague have developed since last ad-
vices, making thirteen cases all told TO
date Three cases were discovered on
the night Of the 2Sth ultimo and four
cases have been reported during the
past forty-eight hours.
The board of health has decided to
take radical steps to stamp out the
scOurge. A portion of the infected dis
tTict was condemned and burned to the
ground yesterday. Three buildings and
a large warehouse were destroyed by
fire The future policy of the health
authorities will be to destroy all in
fected buildings.
The board of health here is severely
criticised by the two leading papers
here-the Star and Advertiser. In short
the journals claim that the members
of the health board appear to be in
competent and therefore are incapable
of handling the present trouble. There
is still a feeling of doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease The majority Of
intelligent people do not consider it
plague But the fact remains that the
victims are stricken and die suddenly.
If the trouble IS not plague, it is some
thing akin to It.
The presence of the plague in this
city is commencing to worry the sugar
men. They have an idea that Hawaiian
sugar may be refused at United States
ports if shipped from Honolulu. To get
around this difficulty the new crop may
be shipped from ports outside of Hon
olulu Honolulu being the only infect
ed port, it Is believed the federal au-
thorities will agree to this plan and al
low the marketing of the 1899 crop.

All Doubts as to the Disease
Are Removed.
THREE CASES REPORTED
ADVICES RECEIVED BY SUR
GEoN GENERAL STERNBERG.
So Far, However, the seourge Has
Been Confined 30 Natives, and
Steps VIII Be Taken at Once to
Prevent Its Spread to United
States Troops.

Washington, Jan. S.-The plague has
broken out in Manila beyond a doubt,
as appears from the following cable
gram received by Surgeon General
Sternberg:
Manila, Jan. 6.-Three bubonie ma
tives. GREENLEAF."
The s1gner is Colonel Greenleaf, as
sistant surgeon general, and chief sur
geon in the Philippines. The first eff
feet viii probably be TO have quaran-
tine laid upon the most rigid sanitary
regulations, and this work will be un-
dertaken by Colonel Greenleaf, pending
the arrival at Manila of the marine
hospital service officers now on the
way.
General Sternberg says that Colonel
Greenleaf is exceptionally well fitted to
cope with the present emergency, and
he has no doubt that the disease will
soon be stamped out.
It is noted that the cases of plague
reported are confined to the native
class, and it is said that has been the
case in most of the cities of Asia where
the disease has appeared. 1t is Notably
true Of Hongkong where it has exist
ed for many months without causing
considerable fatality among the Euro
pean population.
It was probably from HongkonS that
the disease found its way to Manila.
The medical officers have been all along
on the watch to prevent this, but Ow-
ing to the closeness Of HOngkong to
Manila and the large amount of traf-
fic carried on by native junks and
dhows, the ultimate introduction of the
disease into Manila. was inevitable.

ADOPT SHOTGUN QUARANTINE.
Sanitary Measures and Distinction
Abandoned In Honolulu.

San Francisco, Jan. S.-A letter from
Honolulu dated Dec. 80 says: The cur
ious spectacle is presented here of a re-
vival of the shotgun quarantine around
the plague infected district, while san
itary measures and disinfection have
been practically abandoned. The board
of health called out the national guard
three days after Christmas because Of
the discovery Of five new cases Of
plague. two of which proved fatal. It
is now paying 81 900 a day for this
protection, and the result Of this strict
guard is that business is demoraiized
and many poor Chinese and japanese
who worked in the American quarter
are starving.
The Gordon drawn around the Ash
attic district includes many Of the lead
ing Chinese and Japanese dealers. who
live in sanitary fashion and who are
making a strong protest against need
less hardships to which they are sub
iected. The original method of fumi
eating all oriental merchandise I'M
ported has been abandoned, and much
of this unfumigated freight is handled
/ by Hawaiians.
There have been seventeen known
cases of bubonic plague in Honolulu 70
date. There have been number Of
other deaths which were probably
deaths from plague, but the board Of
health has not officially so declared
them. Passenger traffic between the
( islands is practically at a standstill.
( The Understands steamship companies
/ refuse to take passengers on account
( of the onerouS quarantine conditions
: imposed. Fumigated freight is &C
! cepted, but is loaded and discharged
( from lighters away from the wharves.
The American Maru, which arrived
/ here from San Francisco on Dec. p,
| discharged her passengers and freight
| by means of lighters.
The transport Grant, with the Forty
eighth infantry arrived few hours
after the American Maru. Her COM
man6er refused to come into the harbor
or have anything but the barest COM
munication with the officials, and start
ed for Manila after a stop Of not more
than an hour.

No New Cases.

Yesterday passed without a single
new. case Of smallpox being reported.
The nearest approach to it, however,
was a suspected case Of the cOntagion
reported in a family named Burley, IN
the vicinity Of Eighth West and Third
South streets. Inspector Buckley had
not returned from the pest house at the
time the office closed, and an investiga-
ton Of tne reported case was deferred
until this morning.
Children Of Door parents fiocked to
the health Office yesterday in search Of
s'the doctor who vaccinates kids for
nothing" Each anxious inquirer was
referred to Health Commissioner
Keogh, whose Office is in the MeTcan-
tile block Tt viii. however, depend
upon the city councils action this even

ward vaccination Of poor children at
public expense.
Dennis Tehan Of the Salvation Army
yesterday volunteered his services as

offer win be accepted if it proves neces-
sary to employ another immune male
nurse.

TALK OF VACCINATION.
Members of State Board of Health
Meet.

Meet.
There was a meeting of the state
board Of health il DR.. Beatty's office
Yesterday morning. but for want of a
quorum no formal action was taken.
DR.. Beatty of Salt Lake, DR.. Wilcox
of Nephi and Dr.. Pike Of Provo were
the only members in attendance Al
though there was no quorum, those
present discussed the subject Of vac
cination.
DR.. Pike took strong grounds in favor
Of compulsory vaccination, The cases
Of smallpox that had developed in Utah
were mild, he said, but people should
be given clearly TO understand that
the disease was liable to develop into a
virulent form at any time and thai
vaccination was the best safeguard
against the danger. People should
know. too that the scientific Vacclna-
ton Of the present day was totally
different from that of years ago, when
human virus was used.
DR.. Wilcox took the same ground,
although he was not in favor OF the
compulsory vaccination of school cnll-
dren. All medical observation proved
that where smallpox prevailed in a
mild for n il was sure to become ma
lignant If not stamped out. He agreed
with Dr.. Pike that the danger or con-
tracing diseases through vaccination
was removed by the use Of pure vac
cine applied in a scientific way
DR.. Beatty took even stronger grounds
in favor of vaccination. 1t was the
only way. he said, to effectually stamp
out smallpox. Quarantine alone would
not do this No harm could possibly
! follow vaccination if properly done.
The scientific vaccine now used IS as
pure as the juice from a beefsteak.
/ Vaccination, DR.. Beatty said, should
! be done every time smallpox appeared.
DR.. Beatty was disguised because OF
J the non-appearance Of the other men,
/ bers of the board. He did not know
when there would be another meeting
/ 1t was not reasonable TO expect the
outside members to come to Salt Lake
/ to attend meetings when the members
! in Salt Lake do not attend.

Riot In San Francisco Over an
Election Contest.
EFFORT TO TAKE OFFICE
BLOODY BATTLE SUPPRESSED
BY THE POLICE.
Tax Collector Sheehan Refuses to
Relinquish Keys Upon the De-
mand of The oficer-elect, and
Force Is Employed-Former Utah
Hen Mixed Up In Anair

San Francisco, Jan S.-TOday the
officers recently elected under the
terms Of the new city charter took
charge Of their respective Offices and
with one exception the transfers were
made with dispatch and order, the re-
tiring officers affording their successors
every facility for the uninterrupted
carrying on Of the city's business.
The one exception was the attempt of
]. Harry Scott to assume the duties Of
tax collector. In the face of a contest
over ScOtt's election. Tax Collector
Sheehan refused to relinquish his Of
fee on Scott's demand and the reading
Of the certificate Of election held by
Scott
Scott consulted with his attorney
who accompanied him and who ad-
vised his client TO use force to possess
himself Of the Office Scott jumped
over the counter and struck Sheehan in
the face.
Riot Breaks Out.
A small sized riot was in progress
within few minutes and ScOtt's depu
ties. headed by a notorious prize
fighter, Alex Greggains used sections
of gas pipe, ehairlegs AMI other
weapons to put to fight Sheehan's
clerks who were defending themselves
with ledgeTs and Office furniture. Dur
ing the melee one Ben Solomon, said
to be son Of a former surveyor gen
eTal Of Utah, or some one else took a
shot at Jack O'Bri6n, one of Sheehan's
men, inficing a perhaps fatal wound
/ in the neck.
By this time a squad Of police had
arrived on the scene and by a liberal
application Of their clubs succeeded in
restoring order, though Sheehan's Of
/ fee was a wreck.
Solomon was arrested with another
man named Broad, the latter being
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon. Solomon was released from
custody on furnishing bail. Many wit
nesses assert that he was not the man
who fired the shot It is likely other
arrests win Occure.
George H. Clark, who holds a certifi-
cate Of election as mayor, and who took
! forcible possession of the Office at mid
night last night, was mayor for but a
short time. On the application of Land,
the incumbent, Judge Johnson this
evening issued a temporary injunction
restraining Clark from performing the
functions Of mayor, pending the deter
mination of the charge that he had not
/ filed the required statement as to his
/ election expenses.
] Land will in the meantime hold the
/ Office. This afternoon the new city
I board Of trustees organized and re-
! solved to recognize Clark as mayor, but

a decision by Superior Judge Bahrs
that he was not entitled 20 the Office Of
