SANTA BARBARA, Carn., April 20.— Beatrice Harraden, the authoress of “‘Ships That Pass in the Night,"” was among the | spectators of the recent floral festival. She is on her way north from an ideal ranch life in San Diego County, in the Sweet- water Valley, accompanied by her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall. Last night she ac- corded an interview to a CALL correspond- ent, in which she told something of her views of American life, her own experi- ences and hopes. She says that she has already written three California: stories, and proposes to pursue the theme. The talented young authoress has been represented as in the last stages of decline. Noone who saw her last night, her slight figure erect, her aristocratic features bronzed with the open-air life and her large eyes sparkling through a pincenez beneath short waving hair, divided acrossa snowy brow, could have deemed her ill. “Iam very much better, indeed,” she said, “and of late have been leading an ideal but I'm afraid somewhat idle life in San Diego County. We lived in a Shakes- pearean cottage, you know, with lattice- work windows, and near enough to the sea to enjoy boating and bathing, Of course we had to do a great many things for our- selves, but I don’t know what I did. I think I slept most of the time. “] consider the Santa Barbara festival the finest I ever attended, and I have seen those in France and Italy. Elsewhere the great ladies loll back in their victorias and think mere of decorating themselves than their vehicles, but here it is different. Every one seem to enjoy the flowers. I think this issuch a pretty idea, and so needed in America to-day. There is too little here of—what shall I call it?— glamour, such as is to be found in Europe. T yisited your Old Mission to-day, and I really regfetted going. There is no glamor, or perhaps I missed it. I like to go out in a ‘trap’ without strangers and wander among the points of interest—the bean#iful canyons and hills. But I miss something, and sometimes I long to be baok in some corner of the 011_ world, where I could see an old ruin. But there is something unsatisfying in the old world. ¢ “What makes the newspapers of America so monstrous, and the magazines so high | classed?” she asked indignantly. ¢I dis- | like their advertisements, and often won- | der how they are tolerated. But of all the papers, I have a triendly feeling for the {San Francisco CaLr, and have lefters to some of its people. I hear the Carrn is raising up journalism, and Iam so glad. There is no dignity in such trivialities as some papers deal in. “Yes, I am writing, or have written already, three California stories, dealing chiefly with English life in this State, but my days have. been so pleasantly passed that they have not been conaucive to | much work, and I have to complain of | much piracy by American publishers. | Tney have taken five of my stories and | published them separately in different | volumes, each being supplemented with stories by others, and they sell each book | as by Beatrice Harraden. It is too bad, |and I have no redress but to go to law, which means endless worry. I don’t at- tend toany business myseli, however. I leave it to my agent, but I think that 1 imposition on the public should be widely | known. Bret Harte had the same trouble. “I shall stay herea few days only and then go north, intending to visit San Fran- cisco, Palo Alto and Monterey. 1 am afraid I am not quite strong enough to bear the long journey to the Yosemite Val- ley. But one of the most cherished memories that I shall take with me will be | Santa Barbara's battle of flowers. I am so | glad I saw it.” | VENTS AT SANTA- CRUZ, An Extensive New Telephone System Soon to Be Con- structed. | First Step In the Refunding Bonds i Litigation—Colonel Robb and General Grant. | SANTA CRUZ, CaL., April 20.—The ar- | ticles of incorporation of the Popular Tel- | ephone Company were filed to-day in the office of the County Clerk.

REFUNDING BONDS LITIGATION. Payment Refused by the City Treasurer on Those Sent for Collection. SANTA CRUZ, Car., April 20.— The | first step in litigation which this city will have over the refunding bonds was taken yesterday, when the City Treasurer re- fused payment on $8000 bonds, and $7500 interest coupons sent for collection from Boston. The Treasurer, in refusing pay- ment, said the matter was in the hands of attorneys. 1t is now expected the parties holding the bonds will begin mandamus proceedings, so that the matter will be brought. into court and the legality of bonds determined. Gave Grant His First Position. SANTA CRUZ, Cav., April 20.—Colonel Thomas P. Robb, who died yesterday at his country residence near Glenwood, gave General Grant his first position during the Civil War. Colonel Robb had charge of the department in Illinois under Governor Yates, when Grant asked for a position, and Colonel Robb assigned him to a clerk- | ship. WANTED [N SAN FRANCISCO Alonzo J.

PADUCAH, Ky., April 20.—Squire Dug- ger, a prominent merchant of Unionville, a few miles from Paducah, and Master Commissioner of Massaic County, Ills., says that last week he received a long letter from John Wilkes Booth, who is alive in South Americaand is engaged in the mining business. Booth expressed a desire to return to the United States and also regret at the killing of the' man sup- posed to have been him. The latter, he says, was an accomplice, being the one that handed him the pistol with which he shot Lincoln, Dugger says he will give the letter up for publication in a short time. e FATALLY INJURED IN A WRECK. Two Trains on the Baltimore and Ohio Crash Together. COLUMBUS, Osro, April 20.—The Baltimore and Ohio eastbound passenger train, No. 8, collided with a freight train at Frederickstown at 8 o’clock. Engineer McDonald of ‘the passenger train was buried under the debris of the engines, and his skull was fractured. He will prob- ably die, Grafton Wheeler, fireman of the passen- ger, was badly hurt. Postal Clerk Walter Gregg of Barnesville and Baggageman BStewart Spear of Newark were also seri- ously injured. The crew of the freight train escaped by jumping. A carload of cattle was killed.

VICTOR'S GREAT TANK Inauguration of an Im- mense Scheme for Irrigation. TO COVER VAST TRACTS. Over 200,000 Acres of Land Will Be Rendered Doubly Fertil_e. WORK TO COMMENCE AT ONCE. The Site Has Been Purchased and a Monster Dam Wiil Soon Be Under Way. SAN BERNARDINO, CarL., April 20.— The Victor Reservoir Company has sold its property to the Columbia Colonization Company of Chicago. C. H. Howard ?f the Farm, Field and Fireside, and his brother, General 0. 0. Howard, came here recently with a civil engineer and carefully examined Victor reservoir-site and made a favorable report, which resulted in the sale. The deeds are being made out and will be placed on record next week. It is proposed that the reservoir will con- tain when fuli to the 145-foot level 127,- 711,404,000 standard gallous of water, suffi- cient to irrigate 220,000 acres of land, sup- plying one inch of water under a four-inch pressure to five acres of land. This reser- voir-site lies near Victor, Cal., on the north side of the mountains, surrounded on all sides by large bodies of Government land susceptible of a high state of productive- ness with the application of water. The lands are bisected by the land of the Santa Fe Railroad. The new company proposes to begin the construction of a dam at once. It will be 150 feet in height and 300 feet in length. This will impound a lake of water nine miles long and five miles wide, and will be fed by the Mojave River, having a water- shed of over 150 square miles of area, The watershed lies on the north side of the San Bernardino Mountains, and snow falls on it every winter to a great depth, making a total rainfall of from 40 to 100 inches, according to the season. This enterpriseis the greatest of its kind ever inaugurated in Southern California, farsurpassing in mag- nitude the Bear Valley dam, which repre- sented a capitalized stock of $4,000,000. SPORFS AT STANFORD. Berkeley Wins at Tennis, but Is Defeated in the Bal Game. One Student Seriously Injured by the Collapse of the Grand Stand. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAr., April 20.—Stanford wrested another victory from Berkeley'at baseball to-day, but lost the double set at tennis to the blue and gold. The tennis tournament took place in the morning and was witnessed by an im- mense throng of students. The day was so hot that Gage, Berkeley’s player, was was completely prostrated, and Picher, who played against him was equally used up. The first set was between Magee of Berkeley and Hazzard of Btanford. The contest was close, and both players put up good ball. The score ended in favor of Magee, 6—4, 10—8, 8—6. In the Picher-Gage match both men were about equal in the technique, but Picher had the advantage of endurance. In the third set Gage was literally ex- hausted and defaulted the last point. The final two sets were won straight by Picher with comparative ease. Gage was highly complimented for his pluck in staying on the court and fighting to the last stroke. Picher won the match., Score: 4—6, 5—7, 14—13 (default by Gage), 6—4, 8—3. In the doubles Berkeley proved victor- jous. It was represented by Hewlitt and Crawford, Stanford by Packard and Kaet- zel. Bcores, 6-3, 64, 1-6, 6-0. In the baseball game in the afternoon Stanford had her revenge. The Berkeley- ites were outclassed, and evidently need more team work. Their best work was done by Blasingame and Harvey in the box. C. Elston caught well and did good work with the stick. Proctordid some fine fielding. McLaine, in the box, put up a good game for Stanford, and Dyer made some fine plays at second. Lewis hit safely every time he went to the bat. The outfield work was fairly good. Stanford took the lead at. the start and won by a score of 11 to 4. During the game a portion of the grand stand collapsed, and one of the spectators had his leg broken. LOS ANGELES RACES. " Small Attendance on the Closing Day of the Fiesta Meeting. LOS ANGELES, Cawn., April 20.—The counter attractions downtown again proved stronger than had been anticipated this afternoon, and as a matter of consequence not over 2000 people witnessed the last day’s races of the fiesta meeting at Agri- cultural Park: First race, five furlongs, all ages, selling, Emma D won, Harry Lewis second, Hymn third. Time, 1:01}4. Second race, handicap, two-year-olds and upward, four and a half furlongs, Pat Murphy won, Morven second, Tim Murphy third. Time, :541{.

Fifth race, five and a half furlongs, sell- ing, Raphael won, Readhead second, Lot- tie Collins third. Time, 1:0914. TROUBLE AMONG THE STUDENTS. Stanford and Berkeley in an Altercation Over Gate Receipts. BERKELEY, CaL., April 20.—A differ- ence of opinion between two amateur base- ball teams has led to a peculiar state of affairs. It appears that two weeks ago a baseball contest took place between Stanford and Berkeley. In the Civision of the gate re- ceipts Stanford claimed that Berkeley had cheated them out of thirty-five tickets. Mr. Allen, the Berkeley baseball manager, told Mr. Vion, the Stanford baseball man- ager, the thirty-five tickets unaccounted for were in the Students’ Co-operative store and ,in the handsjof a few of the ticket-sellers. They had not turned in the tickets and so were thirty-five short. The Stanford men, it appears, counted the people present and found that there were just thirty-five more people than tickets accounted for, but. they forgot to take into consideration newspaper representatives, gatekeepers and small boys who climbed over the fence. Berkeley went down to Stanford to play in the regular series of games arranged for to-day, and when they came to divide the gate receipts Mr. Vion refused to give Mr. Allen his share, saying that he had ‘‘cheated” him two weeks before. Mr. Atlen said that if this matter is not settled immediately he will have a war- rant sworn out for the arrest of the Stan- ford baseball manager, and will also have the team taken out of the amateur league, since, as they refuse to give up half of the gate receipts, they become professionals.

WON BY FRVER BURS Strangler Lewis Bested in the Wrestling Match at Chicago. Five Hotly Contested Bouts, In Which Both Men Do Some Clever Work. CHIOAGO, Iry., April 20.—The wrestling match for the world’s championship be- tween Evan Lewis and Martin (known as ‘Farmer”) Burns, was won by Burns. Lewis won the first fall in' 15 minutes, but lost the second in 25; Lewis the third in 22 min. 8 sec.; Burns the fourth in 1 minute, and Burns the fifth and ‘the match in 10 min. 10 sec. The match was scatch-as-catch can, best three out of five falls. Burns, who weighed 161 ‘pounds, was in -splendid’ condition, while Lewis, who tipped the scales at 200, was as fat as a prize pig. Time was called at 8:45 o’clock. Burns started on thc defensive, and throughout the first bout Lewis did nearly all the work. The greater part of the time Burns was on his hands and knees, with Lewis trying to-turn him:." Burns cleverly broke a hammer lock, twisted out of a half-Nelson tywo minutes later and then went down with a hammer lock. Both men startéd in easy for the second fall, Tewis pardicularly so. . Lewis was the first to assume‘the aggressive, but could accomplish nothing and then went to the defensive. Burns seemed then to be able to do no more with him. Lewis finally got & hold on Burns’ leg, but the latter pulled away. Lewis then got a half-Nelson, which Burns broke and by a quick turn threw Lewis over his head. He lifted Lewis bodily several times and finally dropped him omr~ his back, where after a few minutes’ work he won the fall with a hammer-lock. The crowd went wild with delight. Burns started in on the aggressive in the third, but Lewis broke hisholds as quickly as he found them. Lewis rushed Burns several times to the ropes, and once had him nearly down, but Burns grabbed the rope and broke away. Lewis assumed the aggressive and downed Burns with a body hold with a flying fall. The fall was fair and square, but the crowd objected so strenuously that the referee, Charles Duplessis of Chicago, felt called upon t© make a speech in his own defense. On the fourth fall Burns feinted for a leg hold, rushed and threw his man like a flash with a half-Nelson. Time, 1 minute. In the last bout Lewis got his hands tightly drawn across- Burns’ mouth and nose, choking him badly. Burns broke way, but was caught again, Lewis squeez- ing him so hard that the blood was forced outof the “farmer’s” nose. Burns, after three minutes tugging, worked loose and then went at Lewis like a cyclone. He had Lewis with one shoulder on the floor with a body hold, and when Lewis broke that Burns lifted him clear off the floor, trying to drop him on his back. He twice had Lewis with his head to the floor and his feet in the air. . The second time he dropped quickly and ina twinkling had Lewis half turned witha hammer lock. The champion struggled like a wild man, but it did him no good. Burnsturned him slowly inch by in and finally downed him amid deafening yells from the spec- BOISE MEN ACCUSED. Their Names Attached to Bogus Chinese Certificates. ARE TO BE PROSECUTED. Peculiar Report Made by the United States Grand Jury. NO INDICTMENTS RETURNED. But Government Agents Are Ad- vised to Bring the Culprits to Justice. BOISE, Inamo, April 20.—The United States Grand Jury adjourned to-day with- out returning any indictments in the Chi- nese certificate frauds case. The report of the jury is somewhat peculiar. They find there has been fraud, but cannot agree as to who are the guilty parties. A number of Boise merchants, they say, have signed certificates for alleged Chinese merchants, who are in reality laborers within the clear meaning of the law. The tators. Parson Davies, on behalf of Dan McLeod, the Scotchman, challenged the winner. ON TENNESSEE TRACKS. ¥o Tambien’s Drop to the “Has Been” Rank Causes Surprise. MEMPHIS, Tex~., April 20.—Only one fayorite won to-day. Yo Tambien’s drop to the “has been” ranks caused great surprise. Laureate, the Arkansas Derby winner, at 1to 5, was easily beaten by a 10 to 1 shot. Four furlongs, Zanone won, Lela Dell second, Tennyson third. Time, :5014. The Leuhrmann Hotel stakes, $1160, one mile Maurice won, Laureate second, El recommendation is made that special agents and the District Attorney proceed with the investigation and prosecute the perpetrators of the frauds before the United States Commissioner. In this case agents of the Treasury De- partment have about one hundred fraudu- lent certificates, made for Chinese, alleged to be Boise merchants, all being fraudu- lent. The names of forty or fifty business men of Boise are attached to them. Some of the signatures are admitted to be genuine, others are claimed to be forgeries. Persons who signed certificates have made claims not supported by law respect- ing what constitutes a Chinese merchant. They appear to have been under complete misapprehension on the whole subject. The Government agents are surprised at the failure to fix the responsibility and will continue the investigation. VICTORY FOR IMPORTERS General Appraisers Decide in Favor of the Anglo-Cali~ fornia Bank. Close of a Noted Controversy Over the Duty on a Large Lot of Steel Ralls. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—Infor- mation reached the Treasury Department this afternoon that the Board of United States General Appraisersat New York has sustained the protest of the Anglo-Califor- nia Bank against the action of the Collector at San Francisco in exacting $18 70 per ton upon a lot of steel rails which had remained in the warehouse some eight years, The board decided that the proper rate of duty thereon is only $7 84 per ton under the Wilson bill. The steel rails were imported in 1887 by the Bank of California on account of the Oregon Pacific Railway Company and were not taken out of the warehouse within three years, as required by law. They have long been the subject of correspondence between the Treasury Department, the Collector at San Francisco and the owner. The case presents some novel questions which have not heretofore been adjudi- cated. Under the statute the rails were subject to sale by the Govern- ment at the expiration of three years from the date of importation, but the Secretary refrained from selling them at the request of the parties in in- terest. Meanwhile the McKinley tariff was passed in 1890, reducing the duty on steal rails to $13 44 per ton, and the Wilson bill, passed in August, 1893, made a further re- duction to $7 84 per ton. The ireasury held, however, that neither of these acts affected the duty on these particular rails, but insisted that they were still subject to the t:u"ff of 1883. In this view the treasury was sustained by the present Attorney-General, and, therefore, refused to instruct the collector to admit the rails to entry under the present law. The question was then referred to the Board of General Appraisers, who have given their decision as already stated. J. F. Evans of San Francisco has been several months engaged wupon the case, first before the department and afterward before the board in New York, and appears to have finally obtained a signal victory for the importers in view of the adverse opinion of the At- torney-General and the position taken by the treasury officials. The amount in- volved in the case is understood to be over $50,000. \ READY FOR THE WEDDING.

A Firm Foundation The Cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla Rest Upon the Solid Basis of Rich Red Blood That is Why the cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla are CURES. That is Why Hood’s Sarsaparilla positively does cure the severest cases of Scrofula, Salt Rheum and all other blood diseases, even when all other preparations and prescriptions fail. That is Why the testimonials in behalf of Hood's, Sarsaparilla are real golid facts, and will stand the closest investigation. That is Why the people have con- fidence in Hood’s Sarsnpnnlla', n_:d know that whatever appears in its advertising is strictly true. 4 That is Why Hood’s Sarsaparilla is recognized by all as the standard The testimonials in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla mean something. They tell of things worth telling. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is known by the cures it has made. Just read this testimonial, bearing the impress of sincerity and truth: “1 have been a great sufferer for nearly two years but thanks to Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla, I am now quite well. When I com- menced taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 65 pounds, now I weigh 112 pounds. In October, 1892, I had & long run of fever and pneumonia, after which an abscess formed on my left shoulder. After being lanced, the sore discharged freely and continued to run some four weeks before healing. I them Spring Medicine That is Why it overcomes That Tired Keeling, gives energy in place of exhaustion, life instead of languor. That is Why the sales of Hood’s Sarsaparilla have increased year after year, while other preparations of less merit have come, held a little tempo- rary favor and are heard of no more. That is Why Hood’s Sarsaparilla requires for its production the largest Laboratory in the world. That is Why it is a true nerve tonic, cures nervousness by feeding the nerves upon pure blood, and builds up all the organs and tissues of the body. That is Why i is the preparation for you to take,” as you undoubtedly need a good Spring Medicine, That is Why commenced to have pains in my right side near the liver. After suffering Untold Agony for fourteen weeks, I again had an oper- ation performed and for nearly a year afterward there was & eonsiderable dis- charge daily. After trying different medicines and paying out large sums of money to different doctors, I concluded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. After taking the fifth bottle, the abscesses were nearly hesled, and one more bottle Completed the Cure. I continued and eam now taking the fifth bottle, and can say this wonder~ fal change is all due to Hood's Sarsapa~ rilla. Iwould recommend it {0 allsuffiers ing from any blood disease.

CHICAGO, IrL., April 20.—The follow- ing will appear in tbe Times-Herald to- mMOIrow : The controlling interest in the Times- Herald and Evening Post has been pur- chased by H. H. Kohlsaat, who will direct the policy of the two papers hereafter. Mr. Kohlsaat’s purchase includes the greater part of the interest owned by James W. Scott and practically all the stock owned by the other stockholders, except H. W. Hawley, who retains the one-fourth interest he acquired when the Herald and Times were consolidated. Mrs. Scott keeps a portion of her $200,000 interest. The transaction is one that is most sat- isfactory to all who are interested in the paper. Mr. Kohlsaat has been intimately associated with Mr. Scott for many yefrs. Mrs. Scott will receive from the Times- Herald an annuity of $10,000 per year during her life. This income will, of course, bé in addition to that derived from the sale of her stock. The policy of the Times-Herald under its new ownership will be that of an earn- est, patriotic American newspaper. It will be wholly independent of party ties, striv- ing for that which is best for the nation, heedless of the dictation of mere partisan- ship. In national affairs, while avoiding alli- ance with any party, it will always force- fully and earnestly advocate the doctrine of protection to American industry.

Upon this.simple platform the Times-Herald takes its stand: Political independence at all times; protection to American industries; sound money and complete non-partisanship in municipal affairs. e Of Interest to the Coast. ‘WASHINGTON, D.
