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 steamer Soencer will make

MANY RELEASED FROM SHER
MAN LAST EVENING AND
THE SITUATION IS WELL IN
HAND.
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-
