ii THE MORNING OBEGOIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE l, "1900. - SAYS NO PLAGUE EXISTED GOVERKOR. GAGB DECLARES SAN KItAXCISCO WAS -OT INFECTED. His Reply to Secretary Hrtw-du credits the Ability of the Beard. of Healtk Officials. 'SAN FRANCISCO. June 13.-Governor Gaga today sent a long? communication to Secretary of State Hay, in reply to the letter's request for inf orm&tioo. regarding f the alleged existence of bubonic plague In the Chinese quarter of San Francisco. In his report Governor Gage says: "From the best light I .have been able to procure, and from a most careful con sideration of the whole subject, I am pleased to Inform your excel-ency that I firmly believe no case of bubonic plague has at any time existed within the bor ders of our state. The medical gentleman and experts of the City Board of Health and e Federal quarantine officers who have ventured the injurious opinions which have spread broadcast over the world the rumor ci the existence of the dreadful -plague in the great and health ful city of San Francisco have never seen a living case of plague, whereas some among the physicians, surgeons and scien tists with whom I have advised have had personal experience and wide opportuni ties in observing the bubonic plague when it was raging In India and elsewhere, and they all pronounce the suspected cases here not bubonic plague. "There have been In all only 11 suspect ed cases among a population of 35.000 Chinese, 15,000 of whom are quarantined. The examinations made after death of bodies of the suspected caps failed to furnish satisfactory proof of p-ague- Full , and fair Investigation has been denied the physicians of the Chinese by the City Board of Health. Since the procurement of the order of the court granting the privilege to the white physicians of the quarantined Chinese to visit the sick and be present and take part In the autopsies, neither the City Board of Health nor the Federal officers have been able to dis cover any bubonic plaguo case, dead or alive." . Continuing, Governor Gage says: "If the cases referred to were genuine plague, even then the quarantine, as con ducted by the City Board of Health, in conjunction with the Federal quarantine officer. Is discriminating against the Chi nese, and also unreasonable, according to information derived from the highest au thority here obtainable." Accompanying the report Is the concur rence of a number of physicians and busi ness men of this city. Another Quarantine Suit. The hearing of the petition of Jew Ho for an Injunction restrain ing the Board of Health from quarantining him and his store oc cupied the attention of Judge? Morrow and De Haven in .the United States Court today. Attorney Dunne, for the defend ants, read his answer to the complaint. In it he recited a resolution of the Board of Supervisors, vesting In the Board of Health power to quarantine houses or districts or per.ons, and a subsequent resolution of the Supervisors declaring Chinatown In quarantine. The answer de nies that any discrimination has been made against the Chinese, and alleges that the regulations apply to all persons and races within the district quarantined. It reiterates the denial that the defendants knew or believed or now know or believe that bubonic plague has not existed in the City and County of San Francisco. There Is an allegation that there have been 12 deaths from bubonic plague, the last one June 2, and all of Chinese, and all except one within the quarantined dis trict. That the quarantine to operated In a dis criminatory fashion against the Chinese was the chief point urged by the attor neys as a reason why the quarantine should be abandoned. In their plea on behalf of Jew Ho, It was represented that the quarantine had been applied only to the Chinese residents. The Health Board admitted that Jew Ho Is under quaran tine, but claims that the east side of Stockton street, where his place of busi ness is located. Is not within the quar antine limits. In the effort to reconcile thes; conflicting statements, the attor ney for the Health Board wan generally compelled to make the admission that "some are under quarantine and some are not." Attorney Dunne then explained that he had not personally Investigated the lines of quarantine, and that In his answer he had doubtless made an error. He asked permission for time In which to make a correction In his answer to the com plaint. After some argument. It was agreed that the delay should be granted. James G. Macgulre, for the complainant, said, when Dunne had concluded: "The Board of Health of this city Is exercising an extraordinary power the power to deprive a portion of the inhabi tants of this city of their personal and political rights. Where such tre'mendous arbitrary power Is attempted to be exer cised, a very complete showing ought to be made to the courts of those rights." Attorney Dunne presented an amend ment to his answer to the complaint, in which he stated that Jew Ho's place of business and residence was Inside the quarantine lines. Judge Magulre, for the complainant, continued his argument that in enforcing the quarantine the Board of Health was discriminating against the Chlse. The case went over until tomor row', whe? a defotfoft" Is expected. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Heanlon to Be Held la Hawthorne Parle Other Matters. It Is considered probable that Hawthorne Springs Park will again be the place for holding the annual reunion of the Mult nomah County ex-Sailors' Association for 1900. Secretary Foss eald yesterday that all of the members who have talked with him have expre&sed their preference for that place to any other that can be se lected. However, no definite steps cam bo taken until if ter the 1st of July, owing to some agreement the owner has with the former lessee. After that, negotiations will be commenced with the owner, and If an agreement can be had the park will bo secured. Secretary Foss states that the object Is to secure a permanent place to hold the reunions, so that when one reunion adjourns It will be known where the next one will be held. He thinks that th!e will Insure permanency to the asso ciation, and place it on the same basis with theGladstoneChautauqua. This shift ing about every year, the secretary and the majority of the members have come to believe, is "not conducive to the per petuity of the organization, and they will try to secure the park permanently for these yearly gatherings. The next meet ing of the comm'ttee of arrangements will takes place July 12. Have Gone to Spokane. Rev. "W. T. Wardle, who has been pas tor of the Mizphh Presbyterian Church for the paet six years, and family left for Spokane last might, where Mr. Wardle will become pastor of Centenary Church. There was much, regret in the community over their departure. A farewell recep tion was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Wardle Tu"!day night. Parting addresses were made, to which he responded In a feeling manner. He leaves the church in much better condition financially and otherwise than when he took charge eix years ago. Three Sites In View. The trustees who have the selection of a site for the Orphans' Home of the 1. O. O. F. have In view three sites on the East Side. One Is at Mount Tabor, one on the Peninsula, near the St. Johne motor railway, and tbe other Is on the bluffy overlooking Boss Island and the Willamette Kiver. Bach of these sites has been carefully inspected, and one of them may be selected. A building will have to be put up for tho home, which will be specially modeled for the purpose. There will be about $25,000 available for establishing the Home, counting on what may be received from the ale of the Falrview property. Besides this sum. the Bebekah lodges throughout the state are raising funds for the Home. It is not probable that the Portland Hospital prop erty will be considered, although there ara quite a number -of Odd Fellows who think it suitable for the Home. East Side Tfotes. The closing exercises c! the Academy of the Holy Names. Eaet Twelfth and East Oak streets, will take place this afte: noon at 2 o'clock.

Ho has been principal of the Central School for the past 12 years, beginning his work a long time before consolidation, and feels the need of a rest. f THE COLOMBIAN WAR. Heaviest Fighting Is On the Venezue lan Frontier. WASHINGTON. June 13. Although there Is much conflict as to the status of tho revolution In Colombia, all advices agree that armies aggregating 25.000 or 30,000 men have been facing each other with san guinary results. The Colombian Charge here. Dr. Luis Cuervo-Marques, said today that tho official Information coming from the Colombian capital showed that tho revolutionists had beu forced back to the Venezuelan frontier, and that contrary ad vices received by the Navy Department here yesterday referred to local condi tions around Panama, unconnected with the main theater of war. He says the government has an army of 70,000 men at various points, and that the main body of about 15,000 men has borne the brunt of recent engagements. They are armed with Mauser rifles, with Rem ington smokeless powder and have Maxim rapid-fire guns, and have heavier field guns of the Creusot make. The revolutionists also have Mausers and Maxims. The revolutionists also have a gunboat and another vessel used for transport and fighting purposes. The government has four gunboats, three on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific side. The revolutionists are well organized, not only In the field, but abroad, with Influential friends here. According to the other side of the case, as stated by one of their adherents to day, the conflicting claims of success are due largely to negotiations recently carried on as to the Panama Canal. Desirous of securing additional war funds, the govern, ment proposed an extension of the canal cession, whereupon the revolutionists' agents abroad gave notice that if the funds were advanced the extension would not be recognized In case of the success of tho revolution. Dr. Cuervo-Marques says as to this, how ever, that his government would not re sort to a falsification of war news In order to advance its financial condition, and as an evidence of the reliability of the gov ernment claims, he points out that the dis patches come from his brother, who is Minister of Foreign Affairs at Bogota, and are to a certain extent personal and non-political. He expresses every confi dence that the government will maintain its control of affairs. In official quarters it is stated that some of the countries adjacent to Colombia, notably Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicara gua, are lending assistance to the revolu tion, and that Its effect may bo far reach ing on this account. Toasts to Uncle Sam. Washington Post. It was Representative McCIeary who the other day resurrected the three fa mous toasts fin the United States. Here is the first: "Here is to the United States, bounded on the north by the British possessions, on the south by Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic, and on the west by the Pacific"" The second, a little more expansive, is as follows: "Here Is to the United States, bounded on the north by the north pole, on the south by the south pole, on the east by the rising sun, and on the west by the setting thereof." And the third reaches this climax: "Here is to the United States, bounded on the north by the aurora borealls, on the south by the procession of the equi noxes, on the east by primeval chaos, and on the west by the day of Judgment." Probate Matters. The will of" Patrick Riley, deceased, was admitted to probate u the County Cout yesterday.

The place looked like a shambles when tbe Japanese were finally driven out. Ster- WHITMAN MEMORIAL BUILDING. gt v" 9.m?W.Y? 'v ?i&i???Aj&&&m W$fi- " "V& ..)p-itA,., tfii;&lfe!

Relief Colaraa Will Have to Fljrht Its Way Through a. Horde of RebeUious Natives. LONDON. Juna IS, 7:45 P. M. The fol lowing dispatch has been received from Colonel Wlllcox, in command of the Ashantee relief expedition: "Prahsu, June 12. A letter has Just been received from the Governor of the Gold Coast, Sir F. H. Hodgson, dated Kum assl, Juno 4. It Is as brief as possible. Following Is Its substance "On several occasions unsuccessful at tempts have been made to get off letters. He informs me that he enclosed a copy of another, of May 4, which I have not received. Kumassl Is garrisoned by 00 native troops, under command of Major Harris, acting commissioner and com mandant of the Northern territories, who has succeeded In entering tho place from the north. The Europeans and other troops are on half rations. The supplies of ammunition at Kumassl are not suf ficient to allow offensive measures and mu3t bo husbanded in case of the rein forcements not arriving. The march of the relief column to Kumassl will be met by great numbers of rebels, who have constructed stockades and put Impedi ments in the way, such as trees. There are also stockades surrounding Kumassl, offering the rebels good shelter. The reb els have places built up In trees and have used them to open fire from. The state of health of KumaBsl Is good, but 3CO0 p'ersons of the native community are In a state of destitution. Immediate assist ance is required. "The reinforcements which have reached the Gold Coast, most of which have crossed the Praha, comprise 100 of the Lagos (Haussa) force, and 50 of the Sierra Leone frontier police, with Maxims "and field guns. These are In addition to the Gold Coast constabulary and Gold Coast police. Further reinforcements, amount ing to 900 men, are being sent from Sierra Leon and Northern and Southern Nige ria, and will reach Cape Coast In the course of a few days. The advance of the relieving force has been delayed by heavy rains and the difficulty of obtain ing carriers, of whom 6000 have arrived from Cape Coast and proceeded up the country June H."

New York Press. The Clearlng-House returns of New York, compared with those of London, have given for many years an accurate idea of the prosperity of the United States. In our years of depression fol lowing the defeat of Harrison In 1E92 the New York Clearing-House returns ran uniformly below those of London. In 1895 the New York returns were nearly $30,000,000,000, as against nearly $37,000,000, 000 for London. .In 1S96 Now York ran behind London another billion. In rough figures. In 1897 New York gained heavily on London, and In 1898 the New York re turns for every month In the year except three (April, May and July) w.ere larger than those of London. In 1S99 New York's clearings were far In excess of those of London. So extra ordinary was the gain month by month that It is worth while to look at the fig ures In detail: New Yorlc London.

The biggest living man is Lewla Wllk lns. who is now arousing great Interest In the scientific circles of Europe. Wllklns was born on a farm near St. Paul In 1874. When he was but 10 years of age he measured 6 feet In height, and now has grown to the tremendous height of 107 Inches just three-quarters of an inch less than 9 feet and weighs 364 pounds. There have been other tall men and women before Wllklns, and scientists have striven In vain to account for these freaks of Nature. Only lately a plausible theory has been put forward by a French physi cian. Dr. Marie, who says that gigantism is nothing more nor less than a disease. This disease generally occurs In patients between the age of 18 and 35, and Is first called "acromegaly" (from two Greek words meaning "enlargement of the ex tremities"). If the patient Is not attacked until after he Is 18. the ends of the bones In the arms and legs are enlarged and prolonged slightly, but If this disease has attacked a child at or soon after birth, gigantism is the result. The bones are prolonged all along their length, grow un naturally, and the result Is a giant. When you see a big man, it Is therefore a question whether he Is unusually strong or whether he Is a sufferer from acrome galy. All giants have not been acrome galic, according to Dr. Marie. He men tions two giants In the French Army who did not belong to this class. One was Charles Freuet. a cavalry soldier, who was 6 feet H Inches, and another was Marnat, a drum-major in the Nineteenth Regiment of Infantry, who measured 6 feet 9 Inches. Perhaps the greatest giant who ever lived before Wllklns was Charles Byrne, an Irishman. He measured 8 feet 2 Inches. His skeleton Is still preserved, proving be yond question his enormous size. He was probably acromegalic. Other giants are Constantlne. born at Zurich, In Switzerland. S feet 1 Inch: Her old. born at Lelpslc, 7 feet 5 Inches, and Lady Emma, 8 feet 1 Inch. Button Craze In Englnnd. Saturday Evening Post. There are many ways better than read ing editorials in the newspapers of tell ing how a nation esteems its great men. The "button" craze, as American children know It. has attacked England with vio lence, and the child who has not his chest well plastered with button portraits of the commanders in the South African War might well have Stevenson's words ap plied to him: He Is a naughty boy, I'm sure, Or else his dear papa Is poor. The buttons were all originally a penny, but as the war went on quotations began to be established. "Bobs" rose to three halfpence, and then to twopence. For a brief period he stood at threepence. Baden-PowelL made one leap to three pence, and for u time wasn't to be had even at that. BuHer was sluggish. He never fell below par, but be never rose above It. And what price did Methuen bring? His button failed to circulate. In Ireland. Joubert and Kruger stood firm for some time. but. the "enthusiasm incident tQ the Queen's vfsit to Dublin knocked a considerable" bit of the bottom out of the market. Over One Hundred Miles aa Hoar. Baltimore Sun. An electric express railway between Manchester and -Liverpool, on the one-rail principle, has been under consideration by a committee of the House of Commons with a view to finding out whether a speed of 110 miles an hour is safe and whether its construction would invade existing rights. It was testified that 120 or even 150 miles an hour would be practicable and safe for passengers, "But there might be difficulty about applying the brakes on a train going over 100 mllea an hour. It would be difficult to stop a train at such speed within 00 yards, and 900 yards might be required. It stopped too sud denly passengers would be dangerously shaken up, and, perhaps. Injured. Engi neers seem to have agreed that the pro posed speed of 110 miles would not en danger the structure supporting the train, or be likely to produce accidents. A rail way on the mono-rail principle is in opera tion In Germany, though not at the high speed desired between Liverpool and Man chester. The committee reports against the pro ject. It admits that the mono-rail system when fully matured. Is likely to make an Important contribution to the development of railway traffic at. high speed." The principle Involved Is conceded to be good. But the committee was "not satisfied that a safe method of applying brakes to trains going at very high speed had been de vised." Besides this, there was a "disre gard or existing Interests" In the route selected for the proposed railway. It would not serve the district between Manchester and Liverpool, though it would call upon It to make sacrifices. At Salford and at Liverpool the exercise of the right of emi nent domain would Interfere with im portant existing interests. Another draw back was that the company did not pro pose to enter the cities of Liverpool and Manchester underground, and nowadays an underground approach Is the only one that deserves to be considered when a new railway Is proposed. Their Compromise. New York Tribune. "I stopped over in Nevada on my way East," said Wpillam PercivaL of San Francisco, at tho Hoffman House yester day, "to look after some mining Interests I have there, and at Careon City a man told me a capital story. A mining strike had been made in a neer-by portion of the state, which turned out to" be of such promise that a respectable camp soon sprung up f around 1L The two principal mlneowner3 were respectively, an Irish man and a Jew, and. as. a, delicate" compli ment to' these leading cftlzenj'the rest of the miners left It to them, to bestow a name upon the new camp. 'The two had many conferences, but could not reach an agreement, for the Irishman stood out for a name taken from the Emerald Isle, while tho Jew was for one that would be suggestive of the chosen people. The rest of the miners finally became restless and threatened to name the camp them selves If an end was not put to the delay, and this led the pair to compromise and name the new camp Tlpperusalem. Rather a neat and suggestive, name, don't you think?" Allen's 'Possnm Story. Leslie's Weekly. John Allen, whose career In Congress has made the little town of Tupelo fa mous, knows more good stories than any other member of the house. One of the best In his repertory is the tale of the darky and the 'possum, which' was told in the Senate cloakroom the other day apropos of -the patronage Senator Depew Is supposed to enjoy, but which Is quietly absorbed by his senior colleague.
