INJUNCTION ISSUED
Chinese Are Victorious in San
Francisco Plague Case.
NEWQUARTERTO BE QUARANTINED
State Board, of Health Takes Matter
la Hand, aad, If It Cannot Iaoca-
late, Will Pea Up Chinese.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 28. The plague
situation assumed a new phase tonight
whlch will probably result In the quaran
tining of the Chinese section -of the city.
The quarantining of Chinatown was not
called forth by any unfavorable develop
ment In sanitary conditions; but It was due
to the necessity of providing for the
better control of the. situation in view
of the fact that the United States Circuit
Court today Issued an order restraining
the local Board of Health and Dr. Ken
youn, the United States surgeon, from
Inoculating Chinese and Japanese.
When the decision of the Court was
rendered. Surgeon Kenyoun called off hia
Inspection, and notified Surgeon-General
Wyman of the court's- action. The State
Board then took the matter in hand. At
a meeting of that board a resolution was
passed . Instructing the local Board of
Health to place an effective quarantine
around Chinatown. The local Board of
Health Issued a call for a special meet
ing tonight and It is very probable that
a formal quarantine of Chinatown will
be declared, and measure? adopted to
make It effective. At a meeting of the
state board, representative merchants of
the city were present, and they announced
that they would render every 'assistance
to the city officiate. Dr. Blunt, State
Health Officer of Texas, who was also
present, favored quarantining the Chinese
quarter, and stated that If such action
were taken he would modify the quaran
tine against California, now existing in
Texas, and allow goods and persons to
enter the state If they carried a certlfi-.
cate of health.
The quarantining of Chinatown will be
a great faurnrise to Its residents, who are
preparing to resume t business on the
strength cf Judge Moif ow's decision. The
local Board of "Health does not expect
Federal Interference In the matter of en
forcing a quarantine, as they regard It
as purely a municipal affair.
The complaint of the Chinese praying
foT the Injunction stated that In enforc
ing the terms of a resolution adopted by
the Board of Health, declaring that
plague existed In this city, that they were
restrained of the liberties granted them
under the Constitution of the United S'atcs
and' the existing treaties "between the
Government of the United States and the
Chinese Government; that the authori
ties discriminated against the Mongolian
race in singling out the Chinese and Jap
anese for the enforcement of the terms
of the resolution; that the haffkine pro
phylactic was not the proper treatment
for persons already exposed to the plague,
and that neither the Board of Health nor
the Federal authorities had proved that
a single case of plague existed in this
city or state-.
The court sustained every contention in
the complaint, and granted the lnjunctlor.
The decision was read by Judge Morrow
and was concurred In by Judges dc Haven
and Hawley. In his decision. Judge Mir
row holds that the Board of Health had
no power to issue the Instructions regard
ing the inoculation, as the Board of Super
visors had not passed any legislation on
the matter, as provided by the charter of
this- city and county. Discussing the Feo
eral quarantine act of March 27, 1S,
Judge Morrow said:
" "It will be observed that the statute is
open to the interpretation that the pro
mulgation of rules and regulations to pre
vent the spread of the diseases named in
the statute Is made to depend upon the
fact that It has been made to appear to
the satisfaction of the President that the
diseases exist In the particular state or
territory where the regulations are to be
enforced. If this Is the proper inter
pretation to be placed upon the statute,
then the enforcement of any rules and
regulations is open to the objeclion that
it does not appear that the President has
found the plague exists In San Franclsc"
or In California, or, indeed, anywhere els
in the United States; nor does it appear
that the supervising Surgeon-General has
so found, or that he nas prescribed any
regulations requiring the administration
of haffkine prophylactic under any con
ditions, or to parties seeking transporta
tion from one place In the state to an
other. The only restrictions imposed by
the Surgeon-General is that transporta
tion companies shall refuse transportation
to Asiatics unless provided with the cer
tificates of the defendant, Kenyoun. What
examination or treatment is requlr;3 to
entitle a Chinese person to this certl'l:sa.te
Is not provided In the instructions ol the
Supervising SuTgcon-General. The in
structions are, therefore, plainly "nsuf
ficlent in these essential particulars to
justify the defendant, Kenyoun. In th
restrictions and conditions he has placed
upon the complainant, and those repre
sented in the bill of complaint."
At the meeting of the City Board cf
Health tonight, the Question was raised
whether or not the order of the United
States Court would prevent the board lrom
declaring a quarantine. A reading of the
order convinced the board that it was verv
sweeping in Its effect, and It was feared
that to declare a quarantine would bring
the board in contempt. After discussing
the matter until midnight, action was de
ferred until tomorrow.

Kegg. a groeeryman of this city, who was
recently committed to the Asylum and
released on trial a few days ago. was re
committed Saturday. He trouble was
caused by the excesslvrj use of Intoxi
cants. Ex-Congressman Howard, of Alabama,
spoke Saturday evening to a fair-sized
audience composed of about an equal
number of Republicans and Fusionlu. His
arguments were practically the same as
thos- In his Portland speech. As there
Is not known to be a Mlddle-of-the-Road
Populist In Yamhill County, the results of
his speech are not apparent Miss Morrow,
of Illinois, preceded Mr Howard In a
speech favoring woman suffrage. This
was the first public speech heard in th-i
county on this subject, and the voters
present followed the speaker closely, but
gave no Indication of approbation or con
demnation. A vacant house In the eastern part of
the city was destroyed by fire early yes

NO CRITICISM OF M'KINLEY
General Conference's Actios oa the
Aati-Caateea Matter.
CHICAGO, May 28. With three business
sessions today, the. quadrennial confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which for a month past has been sitting
here considering great questions affecting
the welfare of that denomination, prac
tically came to a close. The actual ad
journment will not take place until to
morrow, but tomorrow's session Is ex
pected to "be but little more than a for
mality. Many of the delegates left for
their homes tonight.
Much Important business was transacted
today, including the settlement of two
of the most Interesting questions brought
before the conference the reports of the
committee on temperance and the com
mittee on the state of the church In re
gard to the "ban on card-playing, theater
going, dancing and other amusements. A
strong political color was given to the
discussion on the temperance question by
the bitter arraignment of President Mc
Klnley, because of his attitude on the
anti-canteen matter, but after some de
cidedly warm debates, the conference
refused to criticise the attitude of the
chief magistrate by striking out, by an
overwhelming vote, all reference to any
action on his part or that of Attorney
General Griggs. The minority report on
amusements, accepted Saturday, was, to
the surprise of many, laid on the table,
which action leaves the paragraph in the
book of discipline exactly as it was be
fore the question was considered.
SUNDAY SCHOOL "WORK.

WHERE THE MONEY WENT
Perquisite of Rathbone and Other
Coban Ofilclals.
NEW YORK, May 28. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
One Interesting and Important branch pf
the Cuban Investigation will be that relat
ing to the perquisites enjoyed by the of
ficials, and clerks there, by virtue of their
official and clerical status, and also that
relating to miscellaneous expenditures.
In the accounts of Director-General
Rathbone. for example, the sum of U7.
231 39 Is charged to "per diem." That was
the total for the year 1S99. This, It ap
pears, was not expended in that year for
day wages, but "for allowances of per
quisites." enjoyed by himself and mem
bers of his official and clerical stall, which
was a large and very expensive one, re
sembling in those respects that of a Gov
ernor of an Indian or an African province,
rather than that of an official of a ter-.
rltory like New Mexico or Oklahoma.
It Is reported that In addition to his
salary of $6500 a year, the Director-General
received a "p'er diem" allowance
amounting to $5, or J1S23 a year, and that
the head of each of the 10 or 11 "bureaus,"
which constituted the "Department of
Posts," received a similar "allowance" at
the rate of 53 per day. The regular yearly
salaries ranged from $2000 to $3000. There
was also a force of inspectors and clerks
who received "per diem allowances"
ranging from $1 23 for a $1200 clerk to $2
or more for Inspectors and clerks of the
higher grades. There was no exercho
of parsimony In that branch of the Director-General's
official establishment.
It Is also said that the Director-General
himself enjoyed other large personal "per
quisites"; that the large "palace" occu
pied by him as a residence in which he
set up a court rivalling in magnificence
and splendor of the Military Governor of
Havana was paid for out of the postal
revenues of Cuba; that expensive altera
tions and repairs of the "palace" were
also paid for out of the Cuban revenues.
A member of the Senate committee has
also been Informed that among other large
Items of expenditures charged under the
head of "miscellaneous" In the Director
General's account In the last year was one
amounting to $1300 for upholstering, dry
goods, etc., purchased at a single estab
lishment In the United Statea This and
many other equals questionable expend
itures were borne by the revenues of Cu-
'ba. The heading "miscellaneous" cov
ered a total of $49,5(4 9S; the heading
"building and repairs" covered a total of
$33.941 40; the heading "rent" covered a
total of $11,009 14.
The four totals under the headings "per
diem." "miscellaneous," "building and re
pairs" and "rent" make an aggregate of
$113,30S 79. Besides there there is a charge
of 57719 73 for "transportation." distin
guishing it from "mall" transportation
and "star route service." The amount
of $44,703, therefore, was evidently not ex
pended In payment for carrying the malls.
If it be added to the totals S113.S0S 79. the
total will amount to $121,753 EL To this
should "be added $3105 25 for "carriage, har
ness and equipment" another "perqu's
Ite" of the Director-General making an
aggregate of $124 S53 77.
This was $46,441 43 In excess of the to
tal expenditures on account of "star
route service." mall transportation, letter
carriers, railway postal clerki mail roes
s?ngers, mall wagons and mall bags, whl h
amounted to only $7S.422 34. The total per
diem allowances alone amounted to more
than 22 per cent of that total, and that
In turn amounted to less than 35 per cent
of the total amount paid as salarls to
Director-General Rathbone and his official
and clerical staff at the headquarters of
the Cuban postal service.

THE LATONIA DERBY.
Race Was a Faroe, Lieutenant Gib
son Bclnstae Only Starter.
CINCINNATI. May 2S. The thousands
of lovers of thoroughbred racing who
gathered at Latonla today to see what
promised to be the greatest Derby of tne
year met with bitter disappointment. The
race proved to be a farce. Lieutenant
Gibson waa the only sorter, and simply
had a gallop around the track to win the
big prize. Up to noon the track was in
good shape, but then there came a heavy
rainfall and spoiled all the chances of a
contest In the Derby. Hiram Scoggln
scratched his entry. Highland Lad. and
Florlzar and later Kentucky Farmer was
withdrawn. St Ivor had been scratched
out earlier in the day. This left but one
horse In the race. Lieutenant Gibson, and
he galloped the distance, a mile and a
half, for the big end of the purse. Thus
the famous Latonla Derby of 19CO passed
into history, and Lieutenant Gibson, the
crack Western 3-year-old, remains un
beaten. In spite of the very disagreeable weath
er, one of the largest crowds ever seen
at Latonla witnessed the day's racing.
Eleven books drew In to supply the wants
of the talent and did a big business.
James F. Caldwell did the starting, and
got the fields away In good order. The
Judges stand was presided over by Colo

ADVANTAGES
Of Spring and Summer Treatment in Catarrhal Affeo
tions Its Supreme Importance to Those With
Enfeebled Constitutions, Weak Lungs
and a Tendency to Consumption .
$5.00
a Month
All Medicines Free
The lesson to those with enfeebled con
stitutions, weak lungs or a tendency to
bronchial trouble or consumption, of tho
vital opportunities that Spring and Sum
mer offer them.
The best teaching is the teaching that
will save the most lives.
And this lesson to those with the slight
est predisposition to consumption will savo
mors lives than any that can bo taught
In the Spring and Summer catarrh may
be more speedily cured; with Nature help
Ins the work, the result Is more certain:
after the cure the constitution resumes Its
normal condition more quickly; those so
feeble that they should not even expose
themselves to the weather during the Win
ter may visit the offices, and are helped In
the progress of treatment rather than In
jured by the exposure to outdoor air.
This Is what the opportunity of the
Spring and Summer months means.
Indeed, with many of tho more serious
cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis
eases Invading the bronchial tubes which
convey the air to the lungs, has taken Its
advance Into tho tissues of the lungs
themselves, has reached the end of tho
road lined with the mucous membrane
upon which it lives and feeds, and finding
no new tissues settled cown to feed upon
the lung cells with many of these serious
cases, treatment durnng the Spring and
Summer months Is the only hope. Little
if any help can be promised them durlnff
tho Winter.
It Is, then, during the Spring and Sum
mer that catarrh in Its early stages, in
volving, maybe, the nasal passages and
throat and vocal cords and windpipe, may
be most speedily 'cured, and the danger of
Its extension Into the aeeper part of tho
bronchial tubes or lungs averted.
Mra. A. H. 3faeBly, 435 Fifth Street,
Portland: Our little daughter Monta was
seriously affected with catarrh of tho
head and throat Her whole system was
affected. She could not breathe through
her nose. She was palo and weak, and al
ways tired and exhausted. Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery cured her.
Captain XV. H. Foster, o the
Alblna ferry, residing at 439 Goldsmith
street, Portland: When I began treat
ment at the Copeland Institute I had Ions
been a sufferer from catarrh of the head
and stomach. I could not eat or sleep,
and had lest 20 pounds. I am now In good
health.
Mrs. J. P. West, Scnppooae, Or.r
When our son Wilfred began, treatment at
tho Copeland Institute his condition was
very serious. He had a terrible, racking
cough. He had no appetite, and had
lost flesh and strength. We had grave
fears his lungs were affected. Now he
It well and strong.
