The Objecuans to Chase.

The Republican State convention will meet at FV Wayne a weak .from to-morrow. This wask th* thirty or forty candidates for the Sixteen office* for which nominations are to be made will do their final work la dlSerest parts of the Stefa. Naturally th* most interest oentars about the nomination of th* oandifiate for Governor. Th* politicians say it is still Chase against th* field, and that the situation will not materially change before the delegatee gather at Ft. Wayne. The opposition to Chase has had more self-asrar-tioa during tha last day or two, and thoa* Who do not think h* is th* strongwt candidate that can b* nominated, talk confidently about his defeat by Houston, Fairbanks, Mounts, Ch embers, Shockney, Steele or Johnston. They are not yet sure who will bodeolded upon m the most available man to support in th* convantion. The Denison Honoa coterie of Republicans who ars beat on ths defeat of th* Governor are ueing two argument*. Th* first is that th* laboring man of th* Btate nr* against th* Governor, and th* other is that ter. Chase fa a poor man and he can not pot th* money Into th* campaign that mast bo put la this year. The Mends ot th* Governor deny that he haa ever antagonised labor, and as to th* charge that he ia a poor man, they any that they are willing to go betors th* delegate* in the convention with that charge undented. “Of course Governor Chaa* ia a poor man,” aaid on* of his fHsnds to-day. ‘ H# is poor beoaasa h* has sprat his rati re life and all the money he h»* earned In an effort

THINGS SEEN IN CHICAGO

DANNY WRITES HIS ENJPEBIXXCKS IN THE CITY*

Walt In* For a Train To Got Oat of Town Om — Ignorant Policemen— Deputy Comity Clerk*—Lively Rimes All Around,

Daisy takas a great interest ia politics, aad wiahsd to attrad ths Chicago convention, no* ns a delegate, bat aa a looker-on. Danny objected to h*r going, and told her that bs would write har every day about wbat wa* going on H* went to Chicago Saturday night, and this morning aha got this latter from him: “Wall. I got hsru all right aad am waiting for n tenia to gat ont of town. I nave padlocks oa my elothss and entry my pockstbook in my shoe. What ths foot-pads and pickpockets don’t gat oat of n man, ths restaurateurs and hotel-keepers do. Everybody who liras hers ia after th* dollar, and when they do get it they hold oa to it until th* mgl* moult*. Prices ar* high enough in Chicago at any time, bat now they ar* simply ont of sight. I went into n restaurant with a friend and entered a cup of coffra. some poached eggs aad buttered toast for both of as. The gentlemanly waiter banded me a cheek for $1.75. Of course I refused to pay tb* bilL The gentlemanly cashier and the two-time* gentlemanly manager insisted on the payment ia lull. I argued the other side or the question, and w* finally compromised for fifty oente. I at one* went to the nearest express office and Mnt my watch and jewelry back to Indianapolis. A friend of mine who rode two square* in a hack was charged two dollars. As the hue km an was drank and full of fight, the bill was paid. “Nearly all the policemen up here come from Ireland, and some of them look as if they had not been over more than two months I met one of them on Adams street who had a face that would make Pat Rooney tarn over in his grave. I asked him if he would kindly direct me to the Victoria HoteL He said he had never heard of the pi ace. I raked him if h* had lived in Gbieago long. He answered that he had been here four years and this was the first time be had ever heard the Victoria Hotel mentioned. To substantiate bis statement, he hauled from, hi* inside vest-pocket a greasy and ragged book reMmbling a dime novel. He turned the pages to the chapter on hotels , and guided a long and dirty finger up and down the pages but the name Victoria did not appear on the list. I insisted that there was such a place, and he intimated that I was tali of canal water. “ ‘i know there is such a place.’ said I, ‘because Tom Taggart is stopping there.’ — “ ‘And who UTom Taggart!’ be asked. “ ‘What! Do you mtan to My that you never heard ot Tom Taggart?’ * ‘I never have ’ “ -You certainly have heard of Sterling R. “ ‘Naw. I didn’t.’ * “ ’Nor Ed Hawkins?” “ ‘Nix.’ “ ‘Nor Martin Murphy?’ ” ‘Say, young tellow, what are yon giving

me?’

“ T can only say, sir,’ said I, as I walked haughtily away, ‘that you couldn’t hold your job on the Indianapolis police force iiiteen minutes if you didn’t know these people.’ The copper leaned against the building and

wept.

“But I finally found the Victoria. County Clerk Wilson bad just shaken hands with George Buskirk when Harry Springsteen

walked in.

“ ‘Are Uncle Joe Brown and Henry Bals

coming?’ gasped Mr. Wilson.

“ ‘I naven’t heard,’ said Harry, blushing

liks a peony.

“ ‘How about Duff Callahan and Leo Daniels?’ continued Mr. Wilson, with another

gasp.

“Messrs. Springsteen and Bnskirk ‘fall’ at once and to-night there was an exodus of deputy clerks to Indianapolis. After a careful survey ol the field I do not see the necessity of a whole lot of people coming here. The Indiana delegation has everything fixed. It can

do the entire business itself, and it is only a waste ot time and money for delegates to come from Florida or California, because

they are not ‘in it’ with the Hoosiers. Tom Taggart is as busy here as be used to be at ward primaries. He wears his hat on the back ot his head, puts his arm around a man’s neck when talking to him, aud whispers in his ear. I guess he ha* hugged *11 of six hundred men to-day. John Wilson pulls them off into a corner and talks to them in a low, confidential tone, while John W. Kern wins hearts by the magnanimous manner in which he divides his fine-cut. I shook hands with Albert Gall seven times in an hour. Attorney-General Smith is over at the Shesman House, and when the rattle of the cable car was heard at the Victoria, some one suggested that Mr.Smith was again arguing the tax cases. But the boys are all working hard and are full of enthusiasm. A great many Indianapolis people didn’t come up here on a political mUsion. They are taking, in the sights. They go through th* World’* Fair grounds, visit Washington aud Lincoln parka aud go sailing on the lake. I did hear that Georg* Buskirk went out on the lake and became seasick, but i do not know whether this is true or not. Large crowds arrive on every train. The New York delegation bad nine trains on the Pennsylvania, and a fight on every train. I saw two fights at ths Union depot. About 5 o’clock a lot of Tammanyites went into the Grand Pacific Hotel and began tearing up Cleveland pictures. For a lew minutes it looked as if there would be a bloody fight, and I got behind a big post., wbera I could see and not be hurt. Cooler counsel prevailed and the picture-tearing stopped. When the Indianapolis delegation arrived this alternoon it attracted a good deal of attention around the Dearborn-street depot as they marched over to the Victoria Hotel. One individual, plastered from head to foot with Cleveland badges, wandered up to Madison street. He stood in the middle ot the roadway, and when a cable car came along, he wouldn’t budge an inch, and in consequence, the car bad to stop. When thia was don*, with a hilarious laugh, he marched in a solid column to the nearest saloon. I heard it reported that Mr. Cleveland had telegraphed here not to hold the convention unless Colonel Hickiin was present. AsanrancM were sent Mr. Cleveland that Mr. Hickiin would come up to-morrow and the convention could be held Tuesday, as per arrangement. Indianapolis ladies are the handsomest and best dressed around the hotels. There is a drum corps tor every one hundred people, and soma of tb* drummers play as if they were splitting cord-wood. With thos* who have not large sums of money with them, stre«t-ear riding is good enough, but millionaire* take carriages drawn by spanking teams. A lot of young farmer* from southern Indiana have brought their girls with them and stroll up and down the streets, hand in hand, just as if they were at a county fair. They are having more fun than any other Chicago visitors, and are paying for it at the rate of $19 an hoar. There is a whole lot of thing* that I would like to tell you. but I am out of paper and haven’t money enough left to buy any more and pay postage. Your sweetheart, ▲ NEW WESTERN LEAGUE.

Rearrangement of Clubs Reported— DetaUs of tbe Scheme.

A report has been sent out from Toledo to th* effect that a professional organization for a new right-club league has been made. It is to be composed of Chicago. Cincinnati, 8t. Louis and Louisville, of th# present national twelve-club league, and Toledo, Kansas City, and Indianapolis of the Western, and Detroit. President Brush is credited with having originated the scheme, and is reported to have visited Chicago, Detroit and Toledo to perfect the arrangement*. The Cincinnati president left here Tharsdny ostensibly for a visit for the benefit of his health, and Preaid*ut Golt. of th* local club, says that h* knows nothing of the deal. The formation of th* iragn* would be tbe last thing to fulfill th* predictions that were mad* bar* when the twelve-clob league was formed. It was then prophesied that ia the conn* of time Von der Abe aad the Western clubs would b* forced into forming another organisation on equal terms with the national league and in this manner reduce tbe opposition to tbe National in th* East. With two organizations in the East there is no money in th* business, and the prraent scheme is but th* completion of the plans of the “peace congress’ and place* two major organisations geographically on the same footing. The new organization, it ia reported, wtH adopt a salary limit of 130.009 per club, and follow the essential detail* of the “millenium ' plan. It will leave Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Omaha aad other like cities for minor organisations. President Brush ia reported as saving that the tivelve-club league la not a sue-

BUTLER’S PRESIDENT RESIGNS.

Prwaldent Scot Butler’s Resignation —It May Not Be Accepted. President Scot Butler, of Bntler University, has sent a letter of resignation to the president of tbe board of trustees of tbe college. The news of this action has been received with great surprise and uniform regret by his acquaintsncM at Irvington. Several members of the board of trustees have also expressed surprise. They say that, without a doubt, tbe board will not accept the resignation and will endeavor to retain ProfoMor Bntler in his present office. He has been president of the faculty for a year and his administration has been spoken of generally with emphatic commendation. Ths only thought of the members of the board seen by The News had been to continue the administration. Professor Butler’s letter is understood to be tbe result of tbe misapprehension and unauthorized action of a single member of the board. RAINS THAT ARE LOCAL,

Th* quarantine station mi Staten Island Is so unpretentious in s^praranee that its purpose would hardly be defined by th* uninitiated. Half way down to the water, at th* head of th* slope are th* offioMi and house* of th* health officer of the port and bis deputies. Rose bank is the appropriate name for the locality, for in Juno the rose bushes on the hill nr* in blooming glory. At the water’s edg* is the pier, with no indication of its purpose oxeept the yellow flag ut the stern of t^e official tug George C. Preston. Some men in the boat-bonse at th* land end of the pier are waiting for incoming ships, and in tha toWer-like littla box on top of the building the telegraph operator is manipulating hit instrument. In th* sides ot his den ar* aeraral long, narrow slits, through which h* poke* his telescope whenever he wants to see the name on n ship in order to verify the telegraphic reports that have oome in from Sandy Hook and other points south of the island. KXAMINIXG SHIPS. # Tha examination of craft from American ports is a comparatively simple matter, if the skipper can show a clean bill of health, be ia allowed to pass after the payment of |L On tha merchantmen from foreign ports the men are called on deck as soon as the health boat conies in sight, and tho crew is mustered usually by the time the health officer clambers np a ship's side. If everything ia found in good order rad the sanitary record of the vessel is clean, it passes on after payment of the regular foe of $5. If the captain ia unprovided with a bill of health, which he might have had for $2 on the other side, he is furnished with one, for which he must pay $5. At on* of these ships the deputy makes a short stop for a rapid but effectual disinfection.

Disinfection by oil of vitroil or sulphuric acid is tb* regular treatment for all uncertified animal products, or suoh aa have oome from an epidemic infested port. Tb* methods have been simplified vary much within th* last ten years. Under the old laws a formidable array of warehouses and wharves Was required for the vessels liable to quarantine, as the latter had to discharge in quarantine and undergo a detention of from ten to thirty days. Nowadays, the utmost expedition—of course, as far as is consistent with tbe protective purposes of quarantine —is observed in restoring through-going vessels to commerce. Suoh exemption from protracted and expensive delays is the inducement held out to the owners of vessels to see that their ships are protected against disease when they start on a voyage, so that their sanitary record remains dean. It is with this end in view that the health officer has also urged repeatedly tbe necessity of procuring more efficient medical servioa on merchantmen. < Varions other precautions are observed that tend th diminish all danger from infection. If th* number of the'eraes of death from infectious diseases common in the West Indira, the Spanish Main, Bahama, Bermuda, west coast of Africa, or east coast of tiouth America, rises above the usual figure, the United States consuls at those places are required to report the fact immediately. For instance, forty-five a week is considered the maximum number of deaths from yrilow fever at Havana. At such times vessels coming from these parts are boarded from the S. D. Carlton, moored six miles below th# upper quarantine sta* tion. The ship can pass on, after thorough fumigation, a strong solution of bichloride qf mercury being used for cholera and yellow fevfr. If rav oases are on board they go to Swinbarn* Island. The diseases subject to quarantine regulations were originally only yellow fever, cholera, typhus, or ship fever, and "any new diseases of a contagious, infectious or pestilential nature.” Scarlatina, measles, diphtheria and relapsing fever were added to tbe list by act of Legislature of 1886. Formerly the fees were much higher than at preslut, but by the law of April 11, 1888, wfiioh fixed th* health officer’s annual salary at$10,000, the fees were legalized as follows: Inspection of vessels from foreign ports, reduced from $6.50 to $5; vessels from domestic ports south of Cape Heolopen, from $1? $2 aud $3 to $1 for all sizes; boarding at night, formerly $15, $10 and $8, now $5; disinfection fee, formerly ranging from $3 to $3, now $5.

A few miuotra after the health, officer had boarded tbe venel, the itmnigrants gathered oa tbe forward deck began to pas* before him in along file. Occasionally the quick, sharp commana, “Hut ab,” was heard from an officer, and the forgetful offender uncovered hi* head.

DORMITORY.

On Hoffman Island ora be discerned the immigrants, half a thousand strong, crowding an inolosur* formed by a high fence. The health officers, on landing, took their stations on the outside of tbe fence, by a small gate, through which the stream of immigrants began to ooze in single file. In the uew administration building everrtbing is managed in a manner as simpto ana practical aa possible. Th* food i* plain but good, water is brought over from Ridgewood, L. L, rad good Milwaukee beer, at cost price, ia provided to those who ar* accustomed te the use of it at meals. Every precaution ha* b«*n taken to avoid furnishing any lodging place for disease germs. The floor insid* aud outside of the buildings is of asphalt, th* railings ar* of galvanised corrugated iron, which has been used also for the partitions in the dormitories, and th* walls to a hight of five feet are mad* of imported whit* enameled bricks. In the two dormitorira mattresses have bran discarded as serving no other purpose than to breed vermin, and th* beds in ns* now ir* simply bands of oanvas stretched over iron frames, which in tbe daytime are folded upward against the wall and secured to hooka Steam, which does the cooking, la used also for drying clothes on horizontal bars fitted into upright boards. Sixty-*ight metallic bath-tubs have talced the place* of tha half-barrela in use once; rad, to go to tb* extreme of cleanliness aud disinfection, even thq dejecta can be dlsinfeoted, if desired, for the closets discharge into porcelain-lined troughs, in which a reive closes the onening into th* rawer until th* dUinfration is don*. ^ Th* disinfection chamber, upstairs, la built entirely of iron, and is filled with frame* sliding on overhead traok* M the upright iron platoa at tb«ir end* forming a solid wall fclong the narrow passageway* that intersect the room. Three wire baskets are in each of the fraufes, *aoh basket holding th* clothe* of one person or family, a tag attached to the basket serving to identify it. The preparatory step to disinfection is to exhaust the air in tbe chamber, iron stanchions serving to support ths enormous pressure. Superheated steam, which may rise to 250°, is then sent, under high pressure, through the 0,000 feet of coiled piping in the rgom. Gauges indicate the degree of pressure in the obamber, and tbe degree of heat in the three sections of ths latter is indicated in the engine-room by bells with ttootrteal connections. The disinfection is thoroagh, and it is impossible for the attendants to enter the chamber for several hours after the windows have been opened from the outside for the admission of air. . The bodies of those who die ars cremated, unless their friends or relatives prefer to have them buried. In the latter cue metallic coffins must bs used, and if the death occurs during th* hot season tbe bodies go to the mortuary, whera tbay remain sealed in metallic boxes until cooler weather s*U ia. The health officer is invested with broadly defined discretionary power within his jurisdiction, which extends from Bandy Hook to H*H Gat*. Appeal to th* commissioners is permitted, and in su#h an emergency the appeal is final. Fines of $100 to $500, or imprisonment for thrra to six months, or botn^ are the punishments inflicted for any violation of quarantin* regulations; and for refusal or neglect to furnish necesssry information to the health officer, a fine not exceeding $2,000 may b* imposed, er imprisonment not *xce*ding on* year, or bgth.
