ABANDON EFFORT OS DERELICT . THE STEAM SCHOONER MIN NIE E. KELTON HAS NOW SUNK PRACTICALLY OUT OF SIGHT. She will procure European ports. a grain cargo for The work of endeavoring to raise the steam schooner Minnie E. Kel ton was abandoned last evening, and it looks now as if she will never be brought to the surface. During the day yesterday a force of men worked over her, but nothing could be done, though much had been hoped from the use of a mushroom anchor. Upon the return of the men last even ing it was stated that the Kelton was then practically sunk out of sight under the water. The sands are piling up around her in bad shape, and the derelict will prove a menace to shipping unless removed. Until word is received fro mthe owners in San Francisco no more work will be done on her. She has been stripped as far as possible.

The Electro arrived at her moor ings on this side of the river shortly before 6 o'clock last evening with 55 persons on board from the quarantin ed -transport Sherman, which lies at the station on the north side of the river. Among the party of 55 were discharged soldiers, army officers and quite a few civilian men and women who had made the voyage across the Pacific on the transport from the Philippines. The whole party were as happy as a lot of boys just out of school, and they deemed it the great est of good luck that they had been able to secure their release from the quarantined vessel. Their release had been secured m accordance with the policy laid down by Dr. Holt, the quarantine officer. It had been decided to permit those who had previously had the small pox, ana those wno recently nan been successfully vaccinated, to go ashore and set out for their destina tions. It is fairly evident that there is not the slightest danger of these persons spreading the disease, as every precaution has been taken to safeguard the welfare of the pubic, ami Astoria need feel no alarm, at having half a hundred persons landed on her streets who have been exposed to the disease, according to those in charge of the matter. Among those released was Judge Kincaid, of Texas, who is en route to the Democratic National Conven tion at Denver as a delegate. Dr. Holt stated to a representative of the Astorian last evening that the situation on the transport is well in hand and no further spread of the dsease is expected. The sick soldier is said to have merely a mild attack of the disease, and no new cases are reported. A slight clash of authority occur red in the matter of quarantining the Sherman. Monday night a mes sage was received through the mili tary department of the Columbia from the Secretary of War, directing that the transport proceed directly to San Francisco. The order was im perative. Yet despite this order Dr. Holt, acting within his authority and under the authority of the medical department, retained the vessel here and will keep her here until the smallpox scare is disposed of. It is apparent that Dr. Holt be lieves that) the wisdom of retaining the transport here is already justi fied by the results, as already the sit uation is well in hand, while if the vessel had proceeded to San Fran cisco there would have been a serious delay during which alarming condi tions might have arisen. From many quarters there is ap parent a feeling that Dr. Holt has acted not only with commendable promptness, but in a manner that is deserving of high praise. The re sponsibility of the affair was no light cne, and red tape and delays of any kind would only have aggravated the whole matter to an intense degree. Now, however, the whole affair is rapidly dwindling into a mere episode. Eight more of the immunes are ex pected to be brought over from the Sherman this morning. Among those who came over last evening were George Bennett, collector of customs at a port in the Philippines; R. D. Blanchard, of Manilla; W. O. Watts, of Japan; Mrs. George H. Hurd, of Manila, en route to Boston; J. W. Miller and wife of Kearney, Neb.; Mrs. Gertrude Gould O'Connor, of Oakland. The personal effects of the 55 who arrived over last night were 6xamined by C. H. Haddix, the customs in spector, and Mr. Haddix found it a very pleasant crowd of people that he had to deal with. , The soldiers who came over report conditions in Manila and throughout the nhnds to be in excellent shape. It was really interesting to see the men as they stepped out on the As toria dock their first step on Ameri-1 can home soil. Some of the men seemed to thing that the present case of smallpox is a very mild one, but- Km 'A ' i .jr.. rv r ti Mi VI Into a clothing store and an nounce that you want to buy twenty suits of clothes.
