Seven Travelers Arrive Froim China With Bogus Certificates. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., April 4.— Bince the recent sensational arrests in San Francisco of a gang which was preparing PORY TOWNS | from the city. that car- | which has been lying in thisharbor during | the winter for the benefit of fresh water, is experiencing trouble in securing a crew. The Canada is bound for Tacoma, to re- ceive a cargo of piles for San Francisco. Captain Lancaster went to San Francisco for a crewj and attempted to bring them up on the Stockton steamer, but the union men would not permit their departure Lancaster then secured some non-union sailors, brought them to Antioch and landed them at Belshaw's | coal wharf, thus eluding the vigilance of the union men, who had come up from the city and . stationed themselves at the city wharf, where the steamers usually land. In this manner Captain Lancaster secured a partial crew, but last night, on the arrival of more men, the union men intim- idated the sailors and prevented them from boarding the Canada. Treuble is anticipated, as Captain Lan- caster is determined to succeed in furnish- ing his vessel with a crew. Meantime the bark is detained under expense and loss of time. LS g AT WORK IN SAN MATEO COUNTY. The Southern Pacific Endeavoring Secure Comcessions. REDWOOD CITY, Car., April 4—One more complaint has been’ filed by the Southern Pacific Company at the County to | Recorder’s office to condemn the right of way along the bay shore line of railroad. Bervice of summons on parties interested in the suits has also been commenced. In order to accommodate a double track on that portion of the line now in opera- tion, the roadway will have to be widened in various places, and it is reported that the Southern Pacific Company is still ne- getiating with land-owners for additional privileges. s BURIAL AT SONOMA. Interment of the Remains of Mrs. Dr. Frisbie of Vallejo. SONOMA, Caxn:, April 4.—Mrs. Dr. Fris- bie, who died suddenly in Vallejo-on Tues- day, was buried here to-day. The remains were followed to Mountain Cemetery by a large number of relatives and friends, where deceased was laid to rest in a plat selected by herself a short time ago. Frost in Sonoma. SONOMA, Car., April 4.—This valley was visited by a heavy frost this morning, No damage is reported. " Celd Weather Damages Oregon Wheat. PENDLETON, Or., April 4.—Numerous farmers whe have been interviewed agree that great damage has been done to wheat by cold weather, and at least half of the fall-sown grain between Pendleton and Athena must be resown. Dozens of fields are now being plowed. Last year sowing was not finished earlier than April 20, so there remains ample time to put the seed to work gigantic frauds on the Govern- ment by the.issuance of bogus certificates of registration to Chinese the eustoms and immigration cffiéials in this district have been unusually active in running down every suspicious case, with the result of having mow in custody seven Chinamen, who claim the right to land after their re. turn from China, from where they cameon the last Empress. The Chinese all claim to belong to Boise City and have registration certificates pur- porting to bear the signatures of promi- nent citizens of that place. These docu- ments were sent on to Treasury Agent Beam, who reports that all are forgeries. | Only one Chinaman could prove that he bad ever been in Boise City, and he was a laborer. It is probable that all will be re- turned to China on the next steamer sail- ing from Victoria. 4 Immigraiion Inspector Schuyler and Chief Customs Inspector Tom Delaney are at Victoria on a special mission, which is supposed to be the securing of additional in the land. Various theories are advanced accounting for the dying of the wheat. It is said the soil was too loose, and gave the cold an opportunity to reach the tender shoots. The freezing was in spots. RS S ET R An Oregon Swindling Case. EUGENE, Or., April 4.—Henry Jordan, who was recently arrested on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, had an examination before a Justice of the Peace to-day, but the case will not be de- cided until to-morrow. Jordan came here ashort time ago from California and re- ported himself as a capitalist seeking in- vestment, and was very eccentric in his ideas. He created considerable curiosity by having plans drawn and asking for bids for the construction of a magnificent dwelling. RS AL A Shipping Beeves East From Reno. RENO, Nev., April 4.—John Sparks of Reno will ship to Chicago shortly 900 head of the finest beef cattle that ever left information against the band at San Fran- cisco. The Victoria member is well known to the officials, and they hope to either get him to turn State’s evidence or furnish evi- dence against his partners recently ar- rested in San Francisco. Schuyler is of the opinion that this district is entirely free from the bogus certificates which the band was to have put into circulation. Ll o e SUICIDE AT SPOKANE. Zhe End of a Young Ex-Banker's Career ] of Dissipation. SPOKANE, WasH., April 4—Frank R. Dow committed suicide this morning by blowing his brains out with a rifle. Dow came to Spokane from Claremont, N. H., three years ago to work in the Barik of Spokane Falls, then being operated by A. M. Cannon, he being a nephew of the late Mrs. Cannon. Of late he had nomin- ally been engaged as a bond-broker, but his support had been by money received from the East. The suicide was carefully planned. Dow had removed the counterpane of his bed, Nevada. Forty-five head, bought at Alva- rado, are full-blooded Durham steers that tip the scales at more than a ton per head. Recent shipments east prove that well-bred cattle stand shipment from ocean to ocean. Eastern markets have proved a boon to Nevada beef-producers this spring. ——— Auburn Man's Attempt at Swicide. AUBURN, CaL, April 4—Robert W. Smith, a single man living with his father and mother near here, attempted suicide Monday by cutting his threat with a pocket-knife. The trachea and cesophagus were completely severed, and yet the man is alive. He refused to allow a doctor to sew up the wound. Smith was examined to-day and ordered sent to the Napa asy- lum, He says he is determined to die. —_— Healdsburg Arson Case Dismissed. HEALDSBURG, CaL., April 4.—A. Clyma, wno was arrested on a charge of having set fire to T. L. Neely’s livery- stable block on Tuesday morning, had his preliminary examination here to-day, and was discharged, there being no evidence against him, NEAR TO THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE SAN- JOMOUI President Buell of the Stockton Commercial Association and the “Call’s” Pledge. P. A. Buell, Chairman of the Stockton Commercial Association and one of the most energetic supporters of the Valley Road in that city, gives hearty approval to the CALL'S plan of placing the busi- ness men of the State on record regarding the traffic they propose to offer to the new road. Inan interview yesterday, he said: "There can be no questionas to the attitude of the business men of the State relative to this road to the San Joaquin and Santa Clara valleys, and I can see but one course they can take in the premises. They not only mean to resolve to support the road, but will sustain that resolution by their acts. I certainly believe the attitude of the CALL in this matter is well worthy of emulation, and I can assure you that the people of Stockton appreciate the work of the paper, as I have heard many outspoken words of commendation. The announce- ment of a business man that he proposes to support the road, at once places him on record as a friend of the enterprise. It is well that we should know who our friends are--that the sheep should be sep- arated from the goats, so to speak--as it is only by concerted effort that the road can be perpetuated as a competing line. This enter- prise is near to the hearts of the people of the San Joaquin Valley, for it marks the dawn of an auspicious era for them. I am assured that there will be no hesitation among them in defining their posi- tion upon this matter clearly and in unmistakable terms. I know what it meams to be in a competitive business, and my observation teaches me that munity. it invariably operates to the benefit of the com- A great many people are liable to forget the good which competition brings, but the people of the San Joaquin Valley are not likely to forget the ills of monopoly. is broad gauge, forceful and fully in line with the progressive spirit of which the valley road will be the first expression." The course of the CALL THENEWS OF SAH JO3E An English Astrono- mer’s Gift to the Lick Observatory. AREFLECTING TELESCOPE The Splendid Instrument With Apparatus Given Uncon- ditionally. MUCH DESIRED EQUIPMENT. It Wil Be Necessary to Raise by Subscription the Money for Its Transportation. SAN JOSE, Car., April 4.—The director of the Lick Observatory has to-day re- ceived a telegram which announces that the Hon. Edward Crossley, late member of Parliament for Halifax, England, pro- poses to present to the Lick Obgervatory his great three-foot reflecting telescope, with its dome and all its apparatus com- plete. Mr. Crossley, himself an enthu- siastic amateur astronomer, makes no con- dition to his gift, except that his telescope, when set up at Mount Hamilton, shall be called the Crossley reflector, and that the expense of transporting the instrument and dome from England to California shall be borne by Americans. The splendid instrument which Mr. Crossley offers is well known to astren- omers. It was made by A. A. Common of London, and for the magnificent photo- graphs made with it Mr. Common re- ceived the gold medal of the Royal Astro- nomical Society. It was then purchased by Mr. Crossley and set up in his private observatory at Halifax, England, along with other instruments. An experience of some years has shown Mr. Crossley and his astronemer, Mr. Gladhill, that the climate of England is not good enough to do justice to this great telescope, and he therefore determined to present it to an observatory which was favorably situated, where it could be used to the fullest advantage. Tt is a great compliment to the Lick Ob- servatory that Mr. Crossley has selected it to receive his gift, and it is a practical recognition of the fact that California is the ideal climate for making astronomical observations, as has been fully shown by the experience of the past seven years. The addition of this great reflector to the equipment of the Lick Observatory, which already possesses the great three-foot re- flector, makes the instrumental outfit of Mount Hamilton decidedly superior to that of any observatory now existing. The reflector is eminently suitable for certain kinds of work. There are other kinds in which the reflector possesses distinct ad- vantages. As the Lick Observatory will soon have a great telescope of each kind established in a most favorable situation, it will be admirably fitted in the future for every kind of astronomical work. It may be mentioned that the original plan of the Lick Observatory contemplated the installation of & great reflector as well as a great refractor. It was found that the funds left by Mr. Lick were not adequate to provide both instruments, and the plan for making the reflector was reluctantly abandoned. The gift of Mr. Crossley comes to complete the equipment of the observa- tory in the most satisfactory manner. The cost of dismounting the reflector and dome in England, of transporting them to California (only the more important parts of the framework of the dome being re- quired here) and of erecting the complete apparatus at Mount Hamilton - will ; m,&mw in four about $5000. - This sum 3 subscription in America before Mr. Cross- ley’s generous offer can be definitely ac- cepted. ALUM ROCK PARK CAMPING. An Effort to Check the Practice Meets With Opposition. SAN JOSE, Car., April 4—At a recent meeting of the Park Commissioners it was decided to prohibit eamping at Alum Rock Park the coming summer. As the campers there heretofore have spent a great deal of money in the city, the merchants of this city protested againit thy action of the commission. Buch a wave of condemna- tion arose that the Commissioners have agreed to rescind their action. As the motor road connecting the park with the city will be in operation in a few days, the number of campers there will probably be double that of last year. A baggage-car will be run in connection with the passenger coach, so that parties will have no trouble in removing their house- hold goods to the park. DR. ADAM H. COCHRANE DEAD. A Physician Who Saw Service in the Rebellion and Indian Wars. SAN JOSE, Car., April 4—Dr. Adam H. Cochrane, a well-known physician, died at his residence in this city this morning at 7 o'clock. Mr. Cochrane was born in Paisley, Scot- land, June 10, 1831, and came to America when 10 years of age. He graduated from the Albany Medical College in 1857.

Mrs. Knapp Denies That She Is Crazy. SAN JOSE, Cavn., April 4.—In the case of Sophia H. Knapp, her attorneys have filed an answer denying that she was in- sane or incompetent to handle her prop- erty.

LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 4—David Smith, a 12-year-old boy, was held to answer to-day by Justice Owens on a charge of forgery. The lad is bright, but he seems to be remarkably well versed in the ways of criminals for one so young. On different days he presented checks for various amounts at Ralphs Bros.’ grocery- store signed by his mother—at least the groceryman supposed that Mrs. Smith had signed them, so close an imitation to her signature was the writing. The mother says that she cannot control the boy, and so the youngster will go to the reform school. GRAND LODGE, A. O. U. W. Important Proceedings During the Last Day of the Session. L0OS ANGELES, CaL., April 4.—The Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order United ‘Workmen held its third and last day ses- sion to-day, Grand Master Workman John ‘W. Ward presiding. The proceedings were as follows: By resolutions the representatives to the Supreme Lodge are instructed to advocate $1000 beneficiary certificates. A resolution to have §500 certificates was rejected. The action of the Grand Lodge in refusing past grand masters representation and mileage unless regularly elected as delegates was reconsidered, and they will hereafter be entitled to all the privileges of the Grand Lodge. The lodge refused to give the grand master power to appoint the grand guide, grand inside and outside watchman, and made these officers elective. A proposition to refer all amendmentsto the laws to the subordinate lodges for their approval was rejected. They will be sub- mitted to the lodges fifty days before the meetings of the Grand Lodge for their approval or rejection. The grand medical examiner will here- after be paid 50 cents instead of 25 cents for the approval of all examinations. The Grand Lodge decided in faver of Unity Lodge of San Francisco in the matter of the exempt fund as against an appeal by about thirty of its other members. The case of A.P. Murgotten vs. Hamil- ton Lodge of San Jose was decided in favor of the lodge. All reports and correspondence in the case of the present and pastgrand re- ceivers was ordered expunged from the records. The action of the grand master in re- districting San Francisco was adopted. The lodge voted §1000 to the suifering brothers of the Nebraska jurisdiction. Three paid deputies will be put in the | B field to work up the order and get new ‘members. = It was decided to pay three death claims of brothers supposed to have perished in the recent great storms on the coast. It was also decided to ask the lodges to contribute toward a fund to pay a widow the death claim of a husband who had | given the money to another party to pay | and who had failed to do so. | The lodge refused to instruct its dele- | gates to the Supreme Lodge to favor tri- ennial sessions of that body and only one representative to that body.

The District Attorney carefully examined into the matter and came to the conclusion that there was not sufficient ground for the complaint, and refused the request. ‘Wheeler thereupon became furious and created a scene in the office, and now he has commenced the proceedings men- tioned. The District Attorney has not yet been cited to appear to answer to the charges, and, in all probability, it is thought that the Superior Judge will re- fuse to entertain the petition for a hearing after he has investigated the case further.
