Tho procla mation will place tuberculosis In the same category with small pox and yellow fever, according to report, and In being nniiod beeausij of tho In creaned Immigration of tuberculosis patients to tho dry climate of arid Texan, It was sold hero that under the Federal statutes tuberculosis Is not a uuarsntliiiiblo disease, cither under the maritime or Interstate Immigra tion law, but Immigrants can now be kept out of tho 1,'nited Htaten when afflicted with tuberculosis, under the new Immlgrntlon law. The opinion wan given that It may bo dlfllcult to sustain such a quarantine before tho Hiipriiue Court under tho provision of the constitution guaranteeing the right of every citizen of the I'nlted .States to go from one statu to an ot her. In each rase tho state authorities will be compelled to prove absolutely that the person denied entrance to Texan is suffering from tuberculosis In the advanced stage, and the cost of such a quarantine will be largo. On the question of public policy In volved In such a quarantine no opin ion of ofllclals could be obtained for publication, but It Is known to be the opinion of some of tho Individual experts that the study of tuberculosis has progressed so far that a state of quarantine Is unnecessary and that Immigration of this kind might be treated at tuberculosis colonies If protective steps are necessary.

Lower Rate on Alcohol, Washington, June 27. A curious case wan. filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission today by the Railroad Commission of the State of Oregon ngalnst the Northwestern and llurlington Railways and sev eral other lines. It appears that the defendant lines charge the same rates upon tho denatured alcohol from Chicago to North Pacific terminal points as they charge on other al cohol.

Nothing to Be Gained by Inve'tiga tion In Oregon, I I I I I... ,. T 1 I y iiriiiiigion, .iiiiio i.j. iiieie are renMofis for Iwlieving that the invcMtigH tlon now Irflng made in Oregon by A xixUnt District Attorney Towtiferi'l will not materially help in the solut ion of tint problem of comrxilllng tho Kout h ern Pacific railroad cotnpuny to place on thn market in accordance with law I he 3,000,000 acre of land remaining of the grant to the Oregon A California liailroad company. In plain language, thorn in strorifg suBplcion that thin in vestigation in a fsree and that it is not going to K'oiriplish what was intended. Unless indications are incorrect, some Ixidy has injected a joker into this pro ceeding. The identity of the person who in standing between the jieople of Oregon and the Southern Pacific rail road ban riot yet been disclosed, but he mu-t be high up in official circles. In the first place it is contended by men who have made a special etudy of this quet-tion that there in nothing to investigate in Oreg'n. All the records, all the laws, and all the fact behind the grant are on file in Washington mid the determination of the beet method of proceodure iiiuct be based on the law and on the words. If, there fore, tho department of justice in to crack thin nut, it mui-t make its inves tigations here in Washington and not in Orfgon. The lawn maLing the grant are on file in the State department. The debate preceiling this legislation are on file at the capitol, and from these records may be gathered the in ti lit of the men who secured the legis lation, hi 1 mi la r information may be triil In-led from reports on the various bills, and all these reports are of re cord here and not in Oregon. Hut what is still moie important, all the papers that jiased letween the gov ernment and the railroad company that secured the grant are of record in the Interior department in thin city and cannot be found in Oregon. Nicaragua Massing Troops. Washington, June 28. State de partment cablegrams indicate a contin uance of threatening conditions in Central America.

Public excite ment over tho American question has almost passed away, but agitation In still gwlng on. It is mostly tho work of tho politicians of tho opposition, who are employing tho question as a weapon of attack upon tho Ministry. Tho Progressives and a coterie of politicians called the "Daldo Club," will likely Join hands In a combined attack on the Ministry over the American question, their principal aim being to strengthen their respec tive positions in the corning election of local assemblies and also in the general election next year. Their principal watchword Is the diplomatic Irnpotency of tho SalonJI Cabinet, which has resulted, they say, In suffering to compatriots In America and In inability to receive treatment worthy of the subjects of a first-class power. It is difficult to foretell how far they can succeed In stlrrlog up tho public, but whatever attempts are made in the way of agitation, actual hostilities with the United States are not even dreamed of. The war talk In some of the American press is totally Ignored here. WRECK IN CONNECTICUT. Fast Passenger Crashes Into Rear of Work Train With Fatal Results. Hartford, Co'.n., June 23. Six workmen were killed and 40 were Injured when a passenger train on the Highland division of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road crashed Into the rear of a work train that was backing Into the city from New Britain Saturday night, at the Slgourney street crossing. Of the Injured, two probably will die. In one Instance, It took an hour and a half to rescue a workman, who was pinned beneath the trucks. His head was hanging down backward and he suffered severely, but the res cuers encouraged him while doctors reached between the framework which held him a prisoner and treated the wounds on his face and head. TheYe are three unofficial versions of the cause of the wreck. One Is that the passenger train from New Britain went out on a wrong track. The second Is that the work train had the right of way until 7 o'clock and should have had a clear track, that the passenger train was ahead of time at the time. The third is that the work train opened a switch and failed to close it. L'GHTNING HITS OIL TANKS. Violent Storm Dees Much'Dtmagein Indian Territory. Tulsa, I. T., June 25. A violent storm swept over this section of In dian Territory early Saturday, caus ing damage to property estimated at nearly $500,000. A terrific elec trical storm accompanied the wind, and lightning struck oil tanks all over the mid-continent field. In Glennpool, near Tulsa, a 55,000-bar-rel tank of the Quaker Oil & Gas Company and a dozen other small tanks were struck by lightning and are still burning fiercely. William S. Mowry, of this city, suffered a loss at Cooly Bluff of nine 16,000-barrel tanks, and the Standard Oil Com pany's tanks at the same place were almost totally destroyed. Strikebreakers En Route. Sacramento, Cal., June 25. Two carloads of strikebreakers, herded by Pinkerton detectives, passed through this city at 3:30 this afternoon for San Francisco. Little satisfactory Information could be gleaned here. To newspapermen some of those aboard the train said they were operators, but to delegates of the Telegraphers' Union they Insisted that they were streetcar men and were expected to go to work only after the present troubles at the Bay City were over. The hands of most of the men indicated that they were not laborers. Says Orient Will Conquer. London, June 25. General Wil liam Booth, head of the Salvation Army, has returned to London after his trip to the Orient, greatly im pressed with the potentialities from the yellow races.

HUNT PETTY FLAWS Indicted Millionaires Raise Many Technical Points. JUDGE WILL OYLRRULE THEM Play on the Part of San Francisco Grafters to Gain Time Quib bles Enrage Henev. San" Francisco, June 23. Six of the corporation and city officials under Indictments for bribery, Pres ident Calhoun, General Manager Mullally, Chief Counsel Ford and Assistant Counsel Abbott, of the United Railroads; Vice-President Glass, of the Pacific States Tele phone & Telegraph Company, and Mayor Kugene E. Schmitz, through, their attorneys, made determined ef forts to have Superior Judge Lawler set aside the Indictments against them on grounds of technical errors. After to sessions of court had been consumed in the presentation of evi dence In support of their conten tions, the hearing was adjourned un til 2 o'clock this afternoon, when ar guments will be presented and au thorities submitted. Schmitz attorney withdrew from the District Court of Appeals his pe tition for admittanie to bail through writ of habeas corpus, and gave the explanation that technical omissions In the document necessitated Its re framlng. It was said that a new pe tition will be filed. During the hearing Messrs. Coo grin and Moore amended the Joint motion to set aside the Indictments on grounds which, they declare, es tablish firmly the illegality of the present grand jury and the invalidity of every act and indictment by that body performed and returned. One of the contentions of the de fense is that the name of B. P. Oliver, the foreman, wa3 twice drawn from the box. The attorneys for the Indicted officials allege that Mr. Oliver's name was Improperly re turned to the box after It had once been drawn by Assistant District At torneys Heney and Harrison without auf rity from the court. Replying to this charge, Mr. Heney angrily de clared that Judge Dunne had given the necessary authority by nodding his head. Judge Lawior refused to rule in the matter until the testi mony of Judge Dunne himself can be secured. He i3 absent from the city on his vacation. DARROW OPENS CASE. Statement to Jury in Defense of Hay wood Is Weak Affair. Boise, Idaho, June 25. Clarence S. Darrow's opening statement to the jury in the Haywood case yesterday wa3 a disappointment. Like the cross-examination of Orchard by E. F. Richardson, It seemed to lack pur pose, and those, who expected a strong and plausible line of defense failed to find their expectations real ized. Mr. Darrow talked three and a half hours, but, beyond entering some de nials and making some charges, he accomplished very little, while his effort made a ba4 impression every where. He made the dual mistake of admitting what could not be ex plained and offering diaphanous ex planations of those things which he declared the defense ready to prove in refutation of testimony brought out by the state. At times he dropped Into stump oratory to relieve the monotony, as when he launched into laudation of the Federation, when he attacked the mining companies and when he boil ed over with well-simulated indigna tion at the work of the Pinkerton agency. ,In his attack on the mining companies, he sought to make it ap pear that these were oppressors of the miners until the Federation came along and humbled them Into the dust, compelling them to give their men enough to eat and afford them proper hospital accommodations when ill. To those who know some thing of the provision made for miners In practically all camps where metalliferous mining 13 con ducted, this all sounded very cheap. jWill Appeal to Uncle Sam. Oakland, Cal., June 25. Presi dent Small, of the Telegraphers' Union, announced this afternoon that he would ask the aid of the United States government In the set tlement of the strike. He said he would appeal to President Roosevelt and members of the Cabinet to Inter cede on the ground that the trans action of National business is inter fered with by the strike. President Small asserts that, when investiga tion Is made by the President and the Cabinet officials, it will be learned that the striking telegraph ers are in no wise to blame Override Schmitz' Veto. San Francisco, June 25. The Board of Supervisors this evening passed the city budget over the veto of Mayor Schmitz. The budget was returned with six vetoes. The others were those appropriating $720,000 for establishing an electric conduit railroad on Geary street and $720, 000' for the repairing of streets.
