THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. JANUARY 20, 1903. PLAGUE ON COAST Chinatown, San Francisco, Is Where It Breeds. EX-GOVERNOR GAGEDENOUNCED Conference of Feilernl anil State Henltli OlHcer.s Declares Knet Is Proved untl Cnllx Upon Local OHIcIuIm to Take Action. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. Surgeon-General "Wyman. of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, and the repre sentative of the health authorities of 39 states. Indian Territory and the Dis trict of Columbia, met in conference here today to consider the subject of bubonic pl.gue In the United States. Surgeon-General Wyman announced that the Mates represented had asked for a conference. He said the subject of the rt-ctiu plague In Mexico was to he con sidered, but that it was deemed best to consider iirst the situation as It exists in San Francisco. The Surgeon-General then advised the conference of the action of the Marine Hospital Service in sending Dr. A. P. Glcnnan to San Francisco to investigate ar.d of his (Wjman's) personal visit to San Francisco. He also read a telegram frcm Dr. Glennan dated January 17, giving the present status and review of the situation, as follows: "Eighty-seven cases have occurred in Chinatown; six are eick in other parts of the city; none proven to have originated in this country. Total, six whites, four Japanese and S3 Chinese since March. 1900. Last case outside of Chinatown. October 31. As man's personal habits were bad, possibly Chinatown origin, but could not trace connection." The Surgeon-General read a letter from Dr. Glennan. in which he stated that of a total of 22 dead rats found in China town within a given period. 11 were dis covered to have been Infected. Of 54 rodents caught alive, four were found to be infected. IMedfce Ik Demanded. A discussion followed Telntivo to the situation in California. The following res olution was adopted: "Whereas. This conference believes, without a shadow or division of opinion, that the plague exists and has existed in San Francisco, the representative for Cal ifornia, Dr. Gardner, Is requested to pre sent to this conference, within as short a time as possible, definite signed assur ances from the Governor of the state and the Mayor of San Francisco, which will bind the City Board of Health and the State Board of Health, so far as these two men" can control those officers, to assume each their several and joint re sponsibility In the suppression of plague and to pursue them to the utmost in har mony with each other and in full co operation with the United States 'Board of Health and Marine Hospital Services." The conference at the afternoon session reconsidered the resolution requesting Dr. Gardner, of California, to secure certain assurances from the Governor of Califor nia and the Mayor of San Francisco, rela tive to the suppression of the plague, and laid it on the table. The following resolu tion was adopted: Prcucnce of Plasrise Proved. "The presence of plague in California is established beyond doubt "FJrst-r-By. the .investigations, of Kel logg, of the San Francisco Board of Health; Eyfogle. for the California State: Board of Health, and Kinyoun, for the United States Marine Hospital Service. "Second By the later Investigations of Pillsbury. for the State Board of Health, and by Thomas J. White, M. White." Flint, Currie. Carmlchael. Blue and Glennan, for the United States Marine Hospital Service. "Third By the findings of Flexner, Bar ker and Nover, composing a special com mittee" acting under Federal authority. "Fourth By the findings of independent and disinterested investigators, supplied with materials from autopsies made at San Francisco and working In San Fran cisco, Chicago, Boston. New York, Wash ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia xind Ann Arbor. "Fifth By the occurrence of a case of human plague in Ann Arbor, due to, an accident In the manufacture of Haffkine's prophylactic fluid with a culture of plague bacillus obtained in California. "Sixth By the autopsy retfords of 90 cases of plague now in the possession of the United States Hospital Service and of the San Francisco Board of Health and published In part In the Occidental Medi cal Times, of San Francisco." The next resolution adopted was as fol lows: "The presence of plague in any com munity where proper restrictions are, not taken to prevent its spread Is an Injury .to the best interests of that community. Such injurj' is in any case avoidable by the proper co-operation of all Interests Involved, commercial, professional and governmental. This conference regards the habitual publication of the actual facts relative to infectious disease and preventive procedures as the surest route to popular confidence and as one of the means best adapted to minimize the In Jury liable to result from the presence of such diseases." Governor Ik Obstructive. The following resolutions were also adopted, but after much discussion: "The present danger to California and to the United States lies primarily In the persistence, during nearly three years, of a definite nidus of plague infection In the part of San Francisco known as China town; but the gravity of this circumstance Is greatly increased by the gross neglect of official duty by the State Board of Health in California and the obstructive influence of the recent Governor of Cali fornia, by the failure of the city govern ment of San Francisco to support its city Board of Health and by the obstacles op posed to the operations of the United States Public Health Service. "The conference will consider the safety of the country sufficiently assured as soon as satisfied that a competent city Board of Health of San Francisco and a com petent State Board of Health, in co-operation with the United States Public Health Service, will proceed under definite, har monlous and effective laws and ordl nances; that they are provided with am ple funds; and that they are jointly and severally In the free exercise of their lawful powers." The following was also adopted: "The conference expresses its convic tion that the United States Public Health Service has deserved well of the State of California and of the country and that it would go far toward the restoration of popular confidence if the United States Public Health officials were admitted to the same relations with the State Board of Health as have been steadily main tained with the Board of Health of San Francisco. "The praise of this conference and the gratitude of the City of San Francisco are due to Doctors John A. Williamson. Vin cent H. Buckley,- W. B. Lewltt. Rudolph W. Baum, Louis Bassett and Dr. McCurt ley, of the City Board of Health of San Francisco, xnese men nave tne unre served confidence of the executive health officers of the country." Radical Step Voted Down. Thre was a disposition on the part of some members of the conference to adopt radical measures. A, resolution was of fered proposing that the Secretary of War be advised that there Is danger in bringing troops through the City of San Francisco. Surgeon-General Wyman ad vised against the adoption of this resolu tion. Another proposed placing an em bargo on railroads leading out of Cali fornia unless certain steps were taken by the health authorities toward the suppres sion of the plague. Neither of these resi lutions was adopted. It was decided to send copies of the resolutions adopted to the state and city Boards of Health with a request that they make a statement as to their proposed plans. Dr. Gardnqr said an impression pre vailed that the situation in San Francisco was in charge of the Marine Hospital Service. Surgeon-General Wyman ex plained that the local health officials were in charge, but in answer to Dr. Gardner said the Marine Hospital Service would assume charge if directly requested by the Governor of California and the city authorities. The afternoon session brought the con ference to a close and adjournment sine die was taken. ENLARGING THE CEMETERY. Mazatlan Burns Infected Hounesi Horror DriTe People Crazy. MAZATLAN. Mexico.

Last Reftortn of Doctor Prove Frnlt le Tlllmnn Show No Emotion Grief In South Carolina. COLUMBIA, S. C, Jan. 19. After four days of suffering, death came shortly after noon today to Marclsco Gener Gon zales, editor of the Columbia State, who was shot last Thursday by Lieutenant Governor Jams H. Tillman. Mr. Gon zales was unconscious when the end came, liis wife, his thiee brothers, his sister.", members of the editorial staff of the State and the surgeons were present. A few moments after the end came it was known all over Columbia. There is no apparent anger, no display of excitement, but unnatural quiet is noticeable through out the clUf. This morning Dr. W. Gill Wiiie. after consulting with Drs. Guerry arid Barren and members of the family, decided to try the experiment of an intraevenous injec tion of formaldehyde. At 9 o'clock the In jection was made in the arm. It was known that favorable results in the arrest of the peritonitis, if they should follow at all, would be at once manifest. But there was no improvement. As time passed, tho patient's respiration grew weaker and the evidence of approaching death became plainer. Just before the end, the surgeons, by request, resorted to a second injection. There was a mo mentary strengthening of the pulse, but almost before the Injection had been com pleted Mr. Gonzales was dead. An autopsy on the body was held by Dr. EDITOR GONZALES II. TILLMAN, OF SOUTH' CAROLINA. A. B. Knowlton this afternoon. Dr Le Grande Guerry and James Mcintosh, who attended Mr. Gonzales, assisted. It is understood that the finding of the autopsy i uk inai me direct cause of death was sepsis, due to sloughing of the large bowel at the place of injury to that organ. Corcner Green empanelled a Jury, com posed of well-known business men. The Jury viewed the body, after which the In quest was adjourned until Thursday even ing, when it will be held in the County Court roctn. The body was then taken to the residence of Mr. Gonzales, on Hen derson street. Attorney Coleman T. Blease. who is said to be one of Mr. Till man's lawyers, was present when the Jury was at tho hospital, but took no active part in the proceedings. Soon after the death of Mr. Gonzales a telephone message carried. the news to Captain Sllgh, the county jailer, and he apprised Colonel Tillman. It is stated that the latter received the intelligence without any expression or betokening any emotion. He was asked tonight if he would make a statement, and replied through his brother-in-law. ex-Judge Buchanan, that he had nothing to say. The funeral will take place from Trinity Episcopal Church, at 4 o'clock tomorrow arternoon. Rev. Ellison Capers, bishop of the diocese of South Carolina, will con duct the rites. The active pallbearers will he 10 members of the State force. When the news that the end had come was bulletined to Charleston today, the flags on the buildings of the News and Courier and Charleston Post were at once placed at half-ma.t. Throughout today and tonight hundreds of telegrams of sym pathy have been pouring in. not only from community newspapers of South Carolina, but from many American citizens. North and South. Among them were expres sions frcm Hugh H. Thompson, of New York, ex-Governor of South Carolina, and Gonzalo de Qucsada, Cuban Minister to Washington. IN FEAR OF POVERTY.

ALL MAKE NOMINATION. Roth VddlekK Men and Dcjnocrnt.s Make Overtures to Regular.. DOVER. Del., Jan. 20. The Union Re publican caucus last night placed J. Ed ward Addlcks In nomination for both the short and long terms in the United States Senate, both Mats having been vacant for some time. The caucus then appointed a committee to consult with the 10 regular Republicans, who are opposed to Addicks, and endeavor to unite them In a general Republican conference to make two nom inations for the United States Senate, one to be made a Union Republican and the other a regular Republican. While the Union Republican caucus was at work In the Statehou.se nominating Ad dicks, the Democrats were caucusing in the Statehouse parlor, and the regular Republicans at tho Hotel Richardson. The Democrats nominated State Chair man Willard Saulsbury for the short term at Washington, and ex-United States Sen ator Richard E. Kcnney for the long term. State Senator Harrington, the presiding officer of the caucus, then dispatched a committee to the regular Republican cau cus, submitting the proposition of the Democrats to help a regular Republican for the four-year term in exchange for the help of the regulars to elect a Democrat for the two-year term. At 11:20 the regu lars took a vote on the appointment of a committee to confer with a committee of the Democrats. The vote stood S to 2 in favor of the appointment of a committee. At this point in the proceedings the Union committee arrived and urged the regulars to united with the Union Re publicans In a general conference. Meanwhile the regulars decided by accla mation upon Colonel Henry A. Dupont and ex-United States Senator Anthony HIgglns as their nominees for the long term and short term, respectively. Finally it was decided to appoint two conference com mittees, one to meet the Democrats and ask for further time to consider their proposition, and the other committee to Inform the Unions that their proposition will be refused as long as it includes Ad dicks. The regular and Democratic com mutes will meet at 10 o'clock this morn ing. This was decided on after midnight FOUR MEN MET DEATH. Only One Victim of Fire at Mor rlsey Han Been Identified. SPOKANE, Jan. 19. (Special.) No more bodies have been discovered in the ruins of the Pioneer Hotel, which burned at Morrissey. B. C, Saturday night, and it is now believed that only four men met death. Only one body has been Iden tified. It Is that of Herbert Noriott. said to be from Bruseford, Ontario. When Proprietor Johnson ran upstairs to warn the sleeping men, he saw Noriott and told him to get out of the house. Noriott was one of the men who were not under the influence of liquor and It is presumed he was overcome by smoke while trying to make his way from the burning build ing. The other three bodies are so badly charred that Identification is practically impossible. Only a little flesh and bone remain of two corpses and the features of ail except Noriott were burned away. It developed today that the fire was caused by a man who was being tossed in a blanket In the bar-room falling against a lamp and overturning it The fire quickly spread to the wooden stairs and partitions. The bar-room was full of men at the time of the fire starting, it being the night of payday at the mines. A large number of the guests In the hotel were intoxicated and it was feared more than four perished, but Proprietor Johnson thinks all the rest were saved. A Coroner's inquest was held today and adjourned until Jim Fedewy, one of the guests, who were Injured in leaving the burning building, is able to testify. There was no register kept of the sleep ing men and, owing to the crowded con dition of the hotel, it Is impossible to tell how many are really missing.

TORS' GOLDEN AGE. lie Tells Strike Commission How Pence Was Driven From Anthra cite Field by Mlncirorkerx. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 19. The exam ination of Colonel R. Phillips, of Scranton, general.superintendent of the mining de partment of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, took up the greater part of today's session of the strike commission. He testified that the company never heard any complaints against paying the men by the car, Instead of by weight, until the advent of the United MIneworkers. He said It makes no difference whether the miners are paid by the car or weight, so long as the rate paid Is fair. The com pany, he said, never had any trouble re garding wages until tho union came Into the field. Colonel Phillips said the contract miners will now cut only five or six cars Instead of six or seven, as they did before the strike of 1900. In consequence, the com pany, he said, has td employ 10 per cent more men than it did two years ago in order to get out the same amount of coal. The men at the company's mines have a beneficent accident society. After the 1900 strike the society was dissolved and Immediately reorganized. This was done, he said, to keep out the nonunion men who were "black-balled." . From 1S77 to 1900 the relations between the men and the company were pleasant, and during that period there were no strikes. Wages, he said, were voluntarily increased 33 per cent. Including the Increase given ns the result of the 1900 strike, the wages of the men have been Increased 45 per cent since 1S77. Colonel Phillips was recalled to the wit ness stand at the afternoon session. He said he had no objection to the company's employes organizing their own union fnr collective bargaining. He thought they J nau a ngni io organize, and he had no objection to their being affiliated with other labor organizations. He did not think it right for officials of the United MIneworkers of America to come In and make the bargains for the men. He be lieved the employes of the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Company were capable of carrying on their own negotia tions. Colonel Phillips went on to say that the plan of the organization will have to be materially changed or the union will not last long In the anthracite fields. It will have to eliminate the boys, he said, who have a voice In the organization. Each boy has half a vote, according to the laws of the union, but he often casts a full vote. Chairman Gray Interrupted to remark that an -organization like the miners union should be composed of mature minds. In reply to Commissioner Clark, the witness said he personally thought the men could bring in a third party to arbi trate In case the employes and the com pany failed to agree on some disputed points. If the company brought In an out side person to plead its case, he thought the men had an undoubted right to do the same. Colonel Phillips said there were more cases of insubordination among the. men now than there were prior to the strike of 1900. The minimum wage of inside laborers, who require no skill, he contin ued. Is $1 ii a day, and for outside la borers $1 33. Owing to the union restrict ing the number of cars a miner may load, the miners are earning no more money now than they did before they got the 10 per cent Increase two years ago, Colonel Philips said. In this connection Mr. Darrow quoted from President Truesdalc's annual report for 1901. In which he said 51.412.000. or 30 per cent more, was paid to the men in 1901 than In 1900- The miners' attorney asked how he reconciled his testimony with the report of President Truesdale, and the witness replied that Mr. Trues dalc's figures applied to all employes, while his testimony referred only to the contract miners. Just as the witness was about to leave the stand, TV. W. Ross, of New York, counsel for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company, asked if his testimony regarding the right of calling in an arbi trator was not' only his personal view, and that if he were asked to give It offi cially, he would have to first consult with the president of the company. Mr. Phil Hps replied that the opinion he gave was a personal one, and was not the official view of the company.
