So my sister was appointed about a year ago. I made no promises to Mr. Daggett for the con- sideration—in fact, I would not barter away my vote under any circumstances. I voted against him for United States Sen- ator, and if he has seen fit to retaliate against me for doing so by removing my sister there is nothing to do but to accept the situation.” Max Popper, who, as chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, at the time protested against the appoint- ‘ment of Daggett to the superintendency of the Mint, said: “I was npposed to the party takingup | Daggett as its_choice for the United States Benate after having read him out of the party, as was the case at the Stockton cc vention in 1884.

Men who stood up against the railroad in the Legislature, and who were_entitied to positio; were ignored. Now Mr. Daggett down to peanut capers in palitics. SHOOTING OF W, P, BLAKE ,bas got | Hérry Hart and J. F. Patterson Are Charged With the | Crime. Eoth Are Ex-Convicts and the Po- | lice Are Satisfied of Their } Guiit. | The suspicion that Harry Hark, alias George Clark, and J. F. Patterson, alias - Sullivan, were implicated in the shooting of Walter Blake of the Stockton Indepen- .dent on the night of Sunday, March 24, in | .the rear of the Palace Hotel, has developed into a certainty. | Detective Byram and Policeman Ryan, | who have been steadily working on the | .case, charged the two men with the crime | yesterday. They were booked at the City . Prison on the charges of assault to murder and attempt at robbery. Hark and Patterson are the two men who were discovered robbing a room in the lodging - house, 156 Third street, of which Jean Carreau is the proprietor. Hark fired at Carreau, the bullet striking him on the forehead, but fortunately only inflicting 8 flesh wound. They were chast | when told to do s and captured by Detective Byram and a citizen on Fourth and Natoma streets. Hark answered the description of the man who shot Blake, and since then the two officers have been devoting their ener- gies to fix the crime upon him. They have succeeded in obtaining reliable informa- tion that Hark held up Blake and fired the | shot at him. He and Patterson have been | working together since February in this city and Oakland. Patterson roomed at 543 Howard street, and there he and Hark had a quarrel. Patterson upbraided Hark for shooting Blake, and said he should have run away. Hark replied that he would not allow any man to hit him over the head with a cane, and Blake, being a man of the worid, should have known that t was better for him to throw up his hands “Lieutenant” Frank Harden,who wasar- rested on Thursday, has been associating with Patterson and Hark and is being held by the police as a witness.

Something About the Alameda de las Pulgas Survey Through San Mateo County. The proposed boulevard from San Fran- cisco to San Jose is exciting great interest among the dwellers and iand-owners be- tween the two points. A citizen of San | Mateo County, speaking of it yesterday, | said: “The Alameda de las Pulgas survey has been mentioned. It runs through a beau- tiful part of the county, over the low foot- | hills, back of Belmont nearly in a_straight line to the vicinity of the Stanford Uni- versity. The elevation is so slight there will be no expensive grading. Crossing the railroad track will thus be avoided, which occurs several times between San Mateo and Palo Alto on the county road. “It will be nearer the west side of the | county, thereby causing less opposition, as mentioned in some of the articles,to voting for the issue of bonds by property-owners in the hills and further west. 1tcan be reached easily by a good many wealthy people having country residences in the Lills near the E\’\'oods\dc road, among whom might be mentioned the Prestons, Josse- Iyns, Joneses, Talbots, Hoopers, Hallidies, Jacksons and others, all of whom own fine teams and will cheerfully Eav their quota of the tax. It will be a sightly and beauti- ful route, the cozy station of San Carlos, the town of Redwood and many handsome residences in the valley will be in full view, the waters of the bay adjacent and the beautiful Alameda hills beyond, tinted with sunlight and shadows, and Mount Diablo rising boldly behind them, seem- ingly notso ?nr away. This would make a grand drive through San Mateo County. The matter can be taken up by Santa Clara County, with all its possibilities for a fine o ettod oute on to Ban Jose, and capable of making one of the grandest drives on the continent.” UNTIL THE STEAMER LEFT Rudolf Spreckels’ Attorney Argued on the Rights of a Pledgee. The Result May Depend Upon Proof of an Unconditional Agree- ment. Argument on points of law in the in- junction case of Rudolf Spreckels against the Nevada Bank came to an abrupt ter- mination yesterday, after it had continued for over three and a half hours. The case was up on a motion by attorneys for Claus, J.D.and A. B. Spreckels to dissolve an injunction issued to prevent the Nevada Bank, as pledgee of Claus Spreckels, send- ing certain stock to Hawaii to be changed | from the name of Rudolf for the protec- tion of the pledgee. As the Australian steamer sailed at 2 o’clock and as Attorney E. P. Cole, representing Rudolf Spreckels, | who wished to keep the stock here, argued until after noon and then obtained a con- tinuance to Monday, it was obvious that | the stock could not be sent for another week. According to the court, however, this (em;lvorar victory must be re-enforced | by a further showing before it can be made | permanent. |~ Attorney Cole appeared at 9:30 o’clock | strongly fortified with authorities of the law. His table was covered with decisions {from all the States. His audience was small but select, and he was patiently fol- | lowed by the Jearned Judge. He addressed himself chiefly to an effort to show that the Nevada Bank had no right as a pledgee to protect itself by transferring the stock in que stion on the books of the Hawaiian J. B. Reinstein.

In this age of advance, when women do not admit any inferiority to man, should an old and unnatural custom prevail? Those sticklers for a far-fetched modesty who would deny her the right to ride horseback as nature intended she should are dominated by obsolete ideas which do not do honor to their mental equipment. The inauguration of such a custom, as far | as the English women were concerned, was founded upon a false idea of the exis ing condition of a Queen. From that time the custom grew, and was adopted by all civilized people. The position of a woman riding sidewise cannot be otherwise than most uncomfortable and unpleasant. It is not only this, but it is absolutely danger- ous. Horseback-riding should be a pleas- ant and healthful exercise. All elements of discomfort and ungracefulness should be avoided. This cannot be done so long as a senseless custom holds its sway.— ‘Washington News. 2 The stars and st have been carried farthest north ]l:‘) Eee‘ummmt J. B.

Durant was the first regularly elected E president, though Le Conte served in_that | capacity during the first year. It is | worthy of note that the present venerable | president, Martin Kellogg, was associated | with Durant when the latter was president | of the College of California and principal | of “College” School.” President Kellogg | and ex-President Le Conte share honors {in the duration of their prgsidency, each serving five years, though the first- named gentleman will soon enter upon his sixth year. The growth of the institution has been rapid and substantial, and it is now the fourth richest college in America. Presi- | dent Eliot of Harvard classes it as one of the five great universities of America. From a teaching staif of ten in 1869 the | number has swelled to ninety-six for the current year. The increase in the number of students has also been phenomenal, | rising from forty the first year to 1776 for the session of 1894-95. In all 14,279 students hayc matriculated at the university since | 1869. No institution in America_enjoys a | better reputation among distinguished educators and learned men generally than does the University of California. This is not due to the number of students she has, nor the riches that surround her, but to | the eminent ability of her faeulty, past and present, including such men as Le Conte, 8ill, Hilgard, Hesse, Moses, Kel- logg, and others more or less famous in the intellectual and educational world. Governor Budd enjoys the distinction of having graduated with the first class sent from the university to battle with the company. Incidentally he referred to the ‘‘irreparable” injury such transfer would do his client. Judge Sanderson suggested that the case had now become plain in his mind. The chief point about which he required light was on the alleged parole agreement. ‘It looks to me,” said the court, “that this agreement, if 1t existed at all, was as much for one side as the other. It seems to me now that John D. and A. B. Spreckels as attorneys in fact for their father had clearly stated ‘we will not sign any agreement not to transfer this stock, but what we will do is to_agree not to transfer it unless necessary for our in- terests.” Then it looks to me asif Claus Spreckels were (f)rscticnll a defendant in this action and says: ‘I found it neces- sary to transfer this stock, and in accord- ance with the provisional agreement made by my attorneys in fact I will make such transfer.’ The preliminary injunction was granted on the presumption of an agree- ment not to transfer, and to my mind_ it has been shown that any such agreement was conditional.” Mr. Cole—I should like to have Russell J. Wilson here to testify as to that parole eement. 'he Court—Well, he does not seem ina hurry to appear, does he? But I am willing to give you until Monday mornin, to produce him. However, I may ndg that I consider the evidence on the impor- tant point of this parole agreement has been extraordinarily harmonious in favor of its being conditional. Mr. Cole—I have heard that it is said I am here talking against time. But I deny that. Iam here to argue the case on the law and the facts before your Honor. The case then went over until to-morrow morning. . ———————— The first American flag made of Ameri- can materials was raised over the Capitol at Washington on February 24, 1866.

CHINESE N POLITICS. A Danger Which Threatens the Voters of San Fran- | cisco. Mongolians Who Vote WIill Have to Cut Off Their Queues. A strong political club is being formed in this city by several Chinese who have a right to vote, and the bosses behind it ex- pect to make it several hundred strong by next election. Ng Gun and Leong Chung, two young Chinese who were born in this city, have established headquarters at 753 Clay street, and if their scheme is notspoiled they will soon pose as political bosses with a valuable balance of power. They have es- tablished a political club under the guise of a Native Sons’ parlor. On the glass door at the entrance to the rooms of the club is the sign ‘‘Chinese Native Sons’ Association. ~ Confucius Parlor.” This club numbers at present fifty members. The new political bosses say there are 500 native-born Chinese here that are well known to them, and they have ascertained that the total number of Chinese entitled to ;(r))otg by virtue of their birth here will reach The bosses are now striving to get the 500 known voters to join their club, and they are taking steps to learn where the rest of the 2000 live in order to enroll them on the club list. Some of the reputable politicians have begun to think of the possibilities of such a club which could, if the bosses chgse, sell its solid vote of 2000 to some uns ulous American boss, and thus overturn tfle choice of the majority of the American voters. A solid vote of 2000 would have been sufficient to change the fight for gubernatorial honors in the last election and to have changed the result in nearly every contestfor the local municipal offices. About fifty Chinese voted at the last election, so it cannot be said that the Chinese are not intelligent enough to vote under the Australian law. : It has been discovered that there is a way to prevent the scheme of the Chinese poli- ticians from being carried out. All the na- tive-born Chinese wear a queue as well as the immigrants, from across the Pacific. The wearing of a queue isa mark of alle- glance to the Chinese Government and not a religious observance, as is generally be- lieved. The local political purists contend that no man who has taken an oath of alle- giance to another country has a right to claim he is an American citizen, and is, therefore, entitled to vote. Even though the Chinese are born here, aud are ordi- narily entitled to vote, the purists claim they will take steps to prevent a horde of pigtails from wielding such a balance of ower in politics as a club of 2000 would Ruve. The Chinese cannot have taken from them the right to vote if they cut off their queues, but they will have to choose between the queue and the right to vote. As even the native-born Chinese feel that China is_really their country they will re- fuse to cut off their queues. hether they can show their right to cast a ballotisa legal question. That the queue is virtually an oath of al- legiance to the Chinese Government there can be no doubt. Rev. F. J. Masters of the Chinese mission spent a great part of his life i China. In speaking on this subject he said: The queue indicates allegiance to the Chinese Emperor and the Tartar dynasty that took pos- session of China 252 years .io The Chinese never wore queues before the uered the country. They wore their hair as the Japanese did—long and twisted around the head and held u ith & comb. When the Tartars conquer the country they com- pelled the nese to adopt their custom of ‘Wwearing a queue. make and given by General B, F. Butler. | Mr. Masters then read the following quo- | ‘Tartars con- | tation from “The Middle Kingdom,” by the late Dr. Samuel Williams, professor of the Chinese language at Yale College and at one timé secretary of the American le- | | gation at Peking: The spirit of resistance was in some parts crushed, and in others exasperated by an order | forall Chinese to adopt, 88 & sign of submis- | sion, the Tartar mode of shaving the front of | the head and braiding the hairin a long queue. Those who gave this order, as Davis remarks, | must have felt themselves very strong before venturing so far upon the spirit of the con- quered, and imposing an outward universal | badge of surrender upon all classes of peaple. | “Many are the changes which may be made in despotic countries, without the notice or even the knowledge of the larger portion of the com- | munity; but an_entire alteration in the na- tional costume affectsevery individual equally. | from the highest to the lowest, and is, per- haps, of all others the most open and degrad- ing mark of conquest.” This order was resisted by many, who chose {0 lose their heads rather | than part with their hair, but the mandate was slowly enforced, and has now, for about two centuries, been one of the distinguishing marks of & Chinese, though to_this of Fuhkein, near the seaboard, wear a kerchief | around the head to conceal it. Continuing, Mr. Masters said: The queue is really a mark of degradation, but the Chinese hayve become somewhat accus- tomed to it. The members of the Chee Kung Tong, the rebel society, which has degenerated into & highbinaer organization, always unpleat their quenes and leave them hanging long to show they do not uphold the Tariar Uynasty. That is, they wear t! street, but unplait it in their meetings. I don’t | blame a Chinaman who was born in Chins for Wearing a queue, as he cannot be naturalized in this country. 'He virtually says he will not cut off his queue and renounce his allegiance to the only country which recognizes him as & man and brother. ~I respect those Chinese who Tetain their queues; that is, those who were | not born here. | I believe that some of the American-born Chinese will become good citizens and will vote conscientiouily and intelligently, but I | fear that those who wear their queuesand are | led by others will cause trouble. I like to see those entitled to yote go to the polls as well as any other race, but no_one has any_more right | 10 go to the polls wearing a queue, his badge of | allegiance to the Chinese Government, than I | have to go to the pools waving an English flag | and shouting for Queen Victoria. | Ng Gun and Leon Chung were seen at | the headquarters of their club yesterday. | Ng Gun said: Our club now comprises fifty members undi We we expect to run the list up to 500 soon., have not organized yet and have no officers. ‘We desire to wait until all the members are in and then we will choose the officers. We will soon ask the Chinese Consul to issue a procla- mation that the club is & good one to join and then we will have no trouble in getting in re- cruits. Why don’t the health officers enforce | the law that all births must be registered? If this law had been enforced we vould have no difficulty in finding out where all the native sons are living. ‘When Ng Gun and Leong Chung-were‘ befi asked what they would do in the case the question was brought up regarding their queues they were thunderstruck an% could hardly make a reply. Leong Chung said: | Well, you see our parents make us wear ueues and we don't like to offend them., don’t think even the native sons would agree to cut off their queues. We are banded together to vote solidly as we think best for our interests, but I think most of the men would refuse to vote if they were com- pelled to cut off their queues. But we have all voted so tar and no question has been raised in regard to us. Don’t you think they would lct us vote again? The statement which brought forth this ay the natives | eir hair in a queue on the | flow of good English from Leong Chung also brought to light the weak point among the Chinese, the queue, ard this may save the city from having Chinese dictating more politics to San Francisco.
