Ever since then there has been strife between the State and Federal authorities;-
in
Dr. Rosenau was succeeded by Dr. Kinyoun, and as he is an appointee of the Federal Gov- ernment he is naturally supported by the Collector and Surveyor of the Port. Cohn has frequently had trouble with the customs officials when he has attempted to board vessels that were under quarantine by the Federal. officers. Similar cases have been enacted in other ports, and in the case of Morgan vs. the Louisiana Board of Health the United States Supreme Court gave the following decision:
But it may be conceded that whenever Congress shall undertake to provide for the commercial cities of the United States a general system of quarantine, or shall confide the execution of the details of such system to a National Board of Health, or to local boards, as may be found expedient, all state laws will be abrogated, at least so far as the two are inconsistent. But until this is done the laws of the state on the subject are valid.
When Dr. Chalmers of the local Board had arrested Captain Finch and Jordan the pilot of the Dorte for ignoring hin, the Supreme Court, sitting in bank, decided that neither had com mmitted any offense, The California Legislature has twice tried to abolish the office of State Quarantine Officer, but the measures have been pucketed.

NICE(France), August 24th. Admiral Dewey, accompanied by the Flag Lieutenant Brumby and the Vice-Consul here, this morning returned the visit made yesterday by M.

LONDON, August 24th.
It is said that Captain Ben Parker, the skip per of Emperor Williac's yacht fefear, at the Suggestion of Sir Thomas Lipton, the owner of the America's cup challenger Shamrock, asked His Majesty's permission to sail the Shamrock in her coming races in the United States and received a reply peremptorily for bidding him to do so.
Emperor William is reported to have told Parker to have nothing to do with the American cup races. It is added that His Majesty assigned no reason.-S. F. Chränicle.

The State Departinent lins been informed through a diplomatic channel that General Otis has applied the Chinese exclusion laws to the Philippines. The information was a sur STANDARD prise to the authorities here, both state and military, as the matter has been under con- sideration for some time and it was not known that General Otis find put the exclusion laws into force.
The first intimation in that direction come in a dispatch received a few days ago from the Chinese Consul at Manila. telling the Chinese legation here that the exlusion laws against the Chinese had been applied to the Philippines. The dispatch was brought to the attention of the State Department and inquiry made as to how the action was brought about, as the Chinese Government has been solicitious since Ameri- can military control was established in the Philippines that the United States exclusion laws should not be extended over these islands. The State Department knows nothing of such an extension and made inquiries of the War ever, were equally with information as to General Otis' course in this particular.
Accordingly the Chinese officials were advis- ed that any action taken by General Otis in applying the exclusion laws to the Philippines was not the result of. instructions sent from here, but was doubtless due to the exercise of his authority as Governor-General of the Phi lippines. What further step the Chinese au thorities will take has not been determined, as Minister Wu Ting Fang is out of the city for a few days. There is little debt, however, that he will seek to have General Otis' order held in abeyance until the authorities here pass upon

The Admiral asked M. Duval to trans mit his thanks to the maritime prefect at Toulon for sending cruiser to salute the Olympia on her arrival.
The inhabitants of Nice gave Adiniral Dewey on ovation as he passed through the streets. He returned to Villerfranche at noon. Admiral Deway expresses regret in regard to the incorrect reports concerning his reception at Trieste. He says it was most courteous and hearty, the Minister of Marine coming espe cially from Vienna to greet him. "Not only myself," added the American Admiral, "but every one on board the Olympia received every possible attention."
Admiral Dewey created a marked impression here, all those who saw him being struck with his extreme amiability and modesty.

THE SHAMBOOK.”
NEW YORK, August 24th.
It is claimed that the yacht Shamrock was badly strained in being towed across the At- lantic and is structurally weak. It is asserted that she is twisted in the midship section and that her plates were worked..
One yachting expert, who has bullt yachts and has docked-hundreds of ships, said this evening that in the afternoon he was surprised and astonished while looking, at the English
cup challenger to see that she was badly twist- ed in the midship section
The warp is quite apparent," he continued, "to any one who knows anything about the lines of a yacht. I fancied that detected the twist yesterday afternoon. I am sure of it to day, as the Shamrock is much higher out of the hight than she was yesterday... Water
towing caused straining and made the plates draw, and on that account believe the theory of a leak is quite probable. If the yacht came over on the port tack the tendency would be to strain, the bull to star board, and such a strain would undoubtedly cause the plates on the port quarter. to draw."
Unquestionably there is something seriously, wrong in the midship section on the port side. Mr. Barrie, Dr. Mackey and Captain Hogarth spent most of Wednesday on a raft alongside the Shamrock, and anxiously studied the lines and plates in the section named "A launch was substituted for the raft to-day, and Mr. Portackay and Captala Hogarth

Country publications were few and far be. tween, being mostly confined to one of two large towns and populous districts. Fourpence half. penny a copy was ure price charged, and the country journals were weekly ones; daily papers being limited to London. In these times of halfpenny dailies and threepenny magazines, fourpence halfpenny will doubtless strike one as an outrageous charge. It must, however, be ROOMS with or without BOARD, in C&N borne in mind that at the time I speak of, every penny impressed stamp, copy had to bear and that paper, which was almost entirely made from linen rag, cost about eightpence per in pound, as against one penny and a fraction
