of American newspapers feel that they
have a grievance against the Japa-
nese war department They recognize
Japan's right to shut out the news
paper men, but object to the Japanese
method of asserting it. Instead of
treating frankly with the press rep
resentatives, the Japanese have held
them in suspense with smoothly
worded excuses and indefinite prom
ises. Hope deferred is making nervous
wrecks of many of the correspondents,
says Cowles, and in all probability
most of the special men will be ordered
home.
Cowles visited Chefu, Tientsin,
Peking, Shanhaikwan and New
chwang.
MYSTERY OF EXCHANGE.
The man that can handle any
amount of money in the Orient and
balance his cash has gifts the gods
might envy, according to Cowles' story
of the exchange troubles that beset
his path as financial agent for a dozen
correspondents. The money changes
in every district. In each district only
the districts kind of money circulates,
and every time the traveller visits the
banker an appalling percentage OF
ones funds is dropped into the "ex-
change" kitty.
Cowles, with $4,000 in American gold,
which is at a premium in Japan,
wished to purchase Japanese yen. 1t
seemed easy and promised a profit. At
the bank. however, his gold was first
exchanged into taels and for this op-
Grafton a substantial commission was
charged. With a few more strokes of
the pen the banker converted the taels
into yen and again deducted "ex-
change"
IF / had been a man of indecision, "
says Cowles, "apd had changed my
mind once or twice as to the kind OF
money l wanted, 1 probably would
have used up my $4,000 in exchange ano
owed something to the banker before
! l left the counter"

pervisors' office under civil service 1t
would receive his support.
The Mayor said it was his opinion
that the report was not made in good
faith, and the committee was. taking
snap judgment, since there is suit in
court to determine the tenure Of
Health Department employees. The
Mayor charged that the Supervisors
stood sponsors for some laborers in
Chinatown and asked Brandenstein If
ne had not asked that one O'Neill be
employed there. Brandenstein replied
that he had after O'Neill had been dis
charged and was told to go and see
Abe Ruef.
Boxton created amusement when he
said that civil service was all right
for those who had the machinery of
government, and that he had helped
civil service employees to get their po-
sitions by bringing his political pull to
bear"
The vote on the adoption of the re-
port was:
Ayes-Booth, Brandenstein, Braun
hart, Comte, Connor, D'Ancona, Eg-
gers, Hooks, Mcclellan, Payot,
Rock-11.

REsENTs CENSORSHIP.

The assumed censorship over the vital man
agement OF the Health Commission by the
letter Of this report will emasculate all the
determined good OF the laboratory department,
no matter how efficient its policy. 1t strikes
at the integrity of purpose of the Health Com
mission, the very knowledge 0f existing re-
Quirem4nts in department and places the
Board Of Health beneath the dtctation OF the
tyrann:cal member OF the Health Committee
OF your board. who confesses that he acts as
4 Supervisor only and is not guided in his cal
culations as d physician. II his judgment is
that Of a layman, he is out of place and II
he acts under the glIise OF a physician he GER
tainIy has shown such unwarranred incom-
potency as to make his statements OF forgetful
regard
The Health Board will resist having their
commission made the premeditated and. spe-
cific battle-ground which the doubtful prob
and announced to US by the sponsors OF this
report. TO which attention has been called.
II seems very strange. and we believe with
intent for the remaining members Of the
Finance Committee 70 disclaim any knowledge
OF this report before presentation, and yet
were willing 10 urge its passage.
II is a SAD commentary the health mat
tiers OF this city that interference becomes
possible within the charter rights OF the Health
Commission through the agency Of usurped
power of a member OF the Health Committee

rulings: where the courts declare our actions
Illegal concerning any infringement on civil
service rules, although they may be based

MANY EMPLOYEES WILL
HAVE TO STAY AT HOME
TranscontinentaI Roads Adopt a Rule
That VIII Spoil Contemplated
Trips to Exposition.


The transcontinental railroad COM
panies have agreed by a joint resolu-
ton to extend no free transportation
to the st. Louis Exposition to en-
ployes of their lines after August Is.
This action is attributed to the heavy
passenger movement which is expect
ed to materially increase after the
date mentioned, and the transporta-
ton companies figure that the carry
ing capacity Of all their rolling stock
will be needed to meet the require
ments of the travelling public. The
official notice that the issuance of free
transportation would be limited to the
period prior to August 15 was given
out yesterday and caused no little dis
appointment among local railroad
employees who had been planning to
go to the exposition after abatement
of the hot spell in st. Louis. Under
this new and unexpected ruling many
employees will have to forego their
trip unless they decide to pay their
fares.

BRANDENsTEIN REPLIES.

Brandenstein characterized the re-
ply of the Health Board as a tumble
of rhetoric bordering on a declaration
Of rights and Of independence, but it
did not remove the charge of the
Finance Committee that the civil ser
vice regulations had been violated and
the salary allowances of the budget
had been exceeded by the Health De-
partment."
There is much that is contemplate
in the. reply" said Brandenstein. Con-
tinuing. he said: 1T should be con-
signed 10 the waste basket, but L will
move that it be placed on file" His
motion prevailed.
D'Ancona stated that his report was
not designed to impugn the motives of
the Health Board and that he would
decline to answer the personalities
contained in the reply of the board
named.
When the question of adopting the
Finance Committees report was put,
Boxton questioned the right of the
Finance Committee to fix salaries.
D'Ancona replied that there was no
such intention, but that specific ap-
p1opriation was made for the salaries
of each department, which, he alleged,
had been exceeded.
MAYOR QUOTES CHARTER.
Mayor Schmitz quoted from the
charter, showing that the Health
Board has sole jurisdiction over the
disposition Of its appropriation and
the fixing of salaries. Health Officer
Ragan explained the course of the
Health Board in merging the labora-
tory and food department funds and
urged the board not to adopt the re-
port.
Braunhart referred to the alleged
attempt that is being made to over
throw civil service. The Mayor
thought the Supervisors should IL
their soIicitude for civil service, which
he said was commendable, set the ex
ample by taking their clerks from the
eligible list. Braunhart replied that i
! the Mayor would submit request, Il
amend the charter by placing the Su

Among the passengers who arrived
here yesterday on the -er China was
Rear Admiral P. H. Cooper. who sue
ceeded Admiral Evans in command of
the Asiatic squadron. Admiral Cooper
is in poor health and has come home
to be retired at his own request. He
was accompanied by his flag lieuten-
ant, Victor Blue; his secretary, Ensign
H L. Wyman, and Surgeon F. E. Nc
Cullough of the navy. Lieutenant
Blues wife, who is Admiral Cooper's s
niece. was also of the party.
Lieutenant Blue rendered conspicu-
Gus service during the SpanishAmeri-
can war and is one of the heroes of
that unpleasantness whose realization
of the eternal fitness of modesty, even
in a matter of dashing heroism, has
prevented any subsequent marring of
the impression his gallantry made upon
his home-staying fellow citizens.
Not that Blue cares about the i'm
preston any act of his might have
given He is devoted to his duty as
he finds it and, for all the sign he
gives, has long ago forgotten all about
how he took his life in his hands as
the lone volunteer on as forlorn hope
as sailor or soldier ever undertook.
Blue has been ordered to the Buffalo,
probably as navigating officer. His
brother, DR.. Rupert Blue of the marine
hospital service, met him in quarantine
yesterday.
WAS AT SAMOA.
Major c. NJ. Perkins, who command
ed the marine guard of the Philadel-
phia at Samoa in 1899 when the Amer
lean and British forces were ambushed
and officers and men of the allied party
killed, was also a passenger on the
China. He has been on duty at Manila.
Paul Cowles, manager of the West
ern division of the Associated Press,
returned on the liner. He went to the
Orient to organize the war service of
the Associated Press. He turned the
organization over to Martin J. Egan
who is now in charge, with headquar-
ters at Toxic. The Associated Press
