TRANSPORT SHERMAN HAS
TWO SMALLPOX PATIENTS
Vessel Is Ordered Into Quarantine for
Fourteen Days and All of 1882
Men on Board Must Be
Vacclnated

PORTLAND, Ore. June 14.-A spe-
cial to the Oregonian from Astoria
says: The transport Sherman arrived
late today and went at once to the
quarantine grounds.
The quarantine officer returned
from the station shortly before mid
night He reports that before the
transport reached Honolulu one man,
a navy man, returning home, died of
smallpox and was buried at sea. Two
days ago an enlisted man was taken
Ill with the same disease.
AS the two men were in different
parts of the ship the entire vessel is
considered infected. This means that
under the quarantine regulations each
of the 1882 men on board must be vac
cinated and quarantined for a period of
fourteen days and the transport must
be fumigated.
In order to fumigate the ship all the
men must be disembarked, and owing
to the lack of buildings at the Col, T.
bia river station tents will have to oe
erected.
Colonel Rogers, in command of the
regiment, fears that as the men have
Just come from the orient camping

BUT Is NOW A PAUPER
c. J. L. Meyer, First President of
Chicago G. Northwestern Railroad,
Asks Place in Almshouse,
His, Fortune Gone

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 14.-C. j.
L. Meyer first president of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad, once
mayor of Fond du Lac, once in busi-
ness with the late Senator Sawyer of
Oshkosh owner of a big sash, door,
blind and wholesale lumber business
and worth at one time $1,000,000, has
applied to Gustav Frellson of the AS
sociated charities for admission to the
Milwaukee county poorhouse.
Erect, cheerful, neatly clothed and
with an old-fashioned courtesy of
manner, Meyer was an unusual sort of
visitor at the offices of the Associated
charities. He introduced himself to
Mr.. Frellson and told him his name
and former station. "Now, / have
come to you, Mr.. Frellson," he said
IAN ordinary pauper, to ask for ad-
mission to your poorhouse and 1 sup
pose you will ask me what brought me
to these straits"
He then told of his failure in bust
ness, of his losses in first one direction
and then another, until finally he was
left entirely penniless. He came to Mil
waukee and lived here for a time and
two years ago moved to Chicago. He
had two daughters, both of them mar
ried to wealthy men.
BY his removal to Chicago he had for
feited his right to admission to the
Milwaukee county house and was great
ly surprised when told of this fact by
Mr.. Frellson. II thought I would
rather go to your poorhouse in Milwau-
kee," he said, than to Chicago's in
stitution, because hive always heard
good reports of your institution here" !"
Mr.. Frellson will write letters to the
two sons-in-law. A son lives In Chi
cago, but is poor and unable to care for
his father. The older Meyer lives in
Chicago at No. 80 Aberdeen street,
where he has a room.

gular diversity of official representa-
ton, the Republican membership OF the
house formally declaring against such
legislation and the Republican platform
formally declaring in favor of it. 1t Is
this apparent conflict which the
speaker desires to reconcile, not in any
spirit of belligerency, but as a means
of Iarty unity and success.
The speaker views on this subject
were outlined to his friends tonight as
being identical to those expressed two
years ago when he said in opening the
congressional campaign; speaking for
myself / had rather quit public life now
and at the age of 40 quit forever, true
to the civilization we have developed,
true to the distribution of powers to the
legislative, the executive and the judi
ciary which are a check upon each
other than to retain public office at
such a sacrifice to my own self respect
and such terrible cost to the country.
While GOD gives me life to live l Will
not by my act take from any citizen,
be he rich or poor, union man or nom
union man, farmer or mechanic, doctor
or lawyer, any right which is given tn

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-Assem-
bling of the warships of the Atlantic
fleet in San Francisco harbor prepara-
tory to the beginning of the long home
ward voyage across three great oceans
to Hampton Roads. has begun.
Only nine of the fighting vessels are
now in man-of-war row, but at Mare
Island navy yard and on the dry dock
at Hunters Point are twenty-five fight
ing craft of various kinds, some of
them among the number which will
make the long voyage.
The vessels of the Atlantic fleet now
on the northern Pacific coast have been
ordered to proceed to San Francisco as
soon as possible. A departure schedule
has been arranged whereby the Georgia
will leave Juget sound June 16, the
Wisconsin June %, Illinois June 20
Kentucky June 25, Nebraska June 27,
Rhode Island, Virginia and New Jersey
June % and Kearsarge June 29.
The protected cruiser ST. Louis will
leave Puget sound on June Is for Homo
lulu on a practice cruise, and will bring
Secretary of the Interior Garneld pacK
to the Pacific coast.
The cruiser Charleston and the gum
boat Yorktown are still at Bremerton,
and no orders for their future move
ments have as yet been received.
An interesting experiment is soon to
be made when the torpedo destroyers
Perry and Preble and the torpedo boat
Farragut will be taken in tow by the
cruisers Colorado Pennsylvania ana
West Virginia and towed to San Diego.
If the experiment proves success the
little craft of the Pacific f1otilla Will De
towed to Honolulu later in the summer
All the vessels of the Pacific fleet are
scheduled to return here tomorrow from
San Pedro and other southern harbors.
The Pacific squadron will remain IN
this harbor until after the departure
of the Atlantic fleet for Hampton
Roads July Z.
It is expected that by the Fourth OF
July all the vessels of the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets will be assembled In
San Francisco bay, and the long lines
of war vessels on the anchorage ground
will remain unbroken until the morning
July 7, when the Atlantic fleet, headed
by the flagship of Admiral Sperry, the
Connecticut, will steam out on the first
long leg of the trip around two-thirds
of the world.

"UncIe Joe" Arrives

CHICAGO, June IA. A sensation
was caused tonight by the unexpected
arrival in Chicago of one of the presi-
dental candidates, Uncle Joe" Can
non. He arrived from DanVille late
this afternoon, going to the Union
League club, where he was seen in
conference with some of the most
prominent leaders of congress, includ-
ing Serene E. Payne of New York,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means; Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, the ranking member of that
committee; Representative OVerstreet
of Indiana, Representatives James
Sherman of New York, who has the
congressional backing for the vice
presidency; Richard Kerens of Mis-
souri, and a number of delegates from
Iowa, Illinois. Missouri and other
states
It soon developed that Speaker Can
mons coming was in connection with
the platform and that very brisk
contest on some of the planks was in
prospect.
When Mr. Cannon was here the
other day he learned in a general way
the main features of the existing draft
and did not feel that they presented
any serious obstacles. However, the
arrival of some OF the congressional
leaders developed the fact that the So
called anti-inJunctiOn plank contained
certain features which We're regarded
as quite opposed to the declaration
made at a recent caucus Of the Repub-
hcan members OF the house upon that
subject.
Early today Mr.. Cannon was called
on the long distance telephone and the
platform situation was discussed with
him.
The speaker is not an adept in talk
ing over long distance telephone and
he finally decided to take train TO
Chicago and go over the platform in
person.
Objects to Plank
1t is not only the speakers personal
view that an anti-injunction plank
such as is proposed would be unneces-
sary and unwise, but as speaker of
the house he feels that the formal ac-
tion of the Republican membership,
taken only a few weeks ago and
strongly expressive of opposition to
such legislation, should receive serious
consideration before such plank is is
sued to the country.
Some of the leaders have pointed out
that such plank would create sim

is no reason why such request

has refused offers to accept the pres

He has had these offers on an aver
