The | Stockton Car and Machine Works is now figuring on estimates, as is also the Holt | Works and other factories. Both the works named have plants that will enable | them to turn out a great many carsina | short time. The first-named factory is| the only one that seems desirous of mak: ing the passenger-cars. Its owners say they are equipped to make the very best | coaches. A manufacturer stated to-day that Presi- dent Claus Spreckels had said in San Francisco that Stockton would be given the preference in the matter of building tk s. all things being equal.

Pursued by an Armed Force After They Had Brutally Assaulted Two Justices. STOCKTON, CaL.,, May 11.—An armed band of tramps attempted to take posses- sion of Tracy this evening. They assaulted Justice of the Peace Peck and Justice of the Peace Hoy, and defied the authorities of the railway junction to arrest them. About seventy-five tramps marched up the main street and threatened to “run the town.”” As quickly as possible citizens of the place gathered, and within a few minutes after the brutal assault on Justice Hoy, sixty or seventy armed men, led by Constables Giesecke and Byrnes, Road Master O’Connell, T. Charles Flack, D. Canale and Dan Driscoll, moved on the band of drunken vagrants and ordered them to leave the town at once. The leaders in a surly manner stated that they would not get out of Tracy un- til they were ready. The armed citizens then moved on them with drawn revolvers and the tramps retreated. Some rocks were thrown by them, but a threat from the members of the vigilance com- mittee that any further hurling of stones would meet with a reply of bullets, the va- grants desisted from further attempts at resistance and satistied themselves with cursing their pursuers. Every tramp in the town was driven far beyond its limits, and warned that if he came back he would be subjected to rough treatment. T0 INSTRUCT PUVALLUPS, An Extensive Experiment Farm to Be Opened on the Reservation. Secretary Smith’s Appointment of Supervisors Ends a War In Democratic Ranks. TACOMA, Wasn., May 11.—Private in- formation received here this evening is to the effect that Ira R. Bamber and Joseph Bernhard of Tacoma ar.d William Kelly of Quinalt have been appointed by Secretary Hoke Smith as overseers of an extensive experiment and instruction farm soon to be established on the Puyallup Indian reservation, which borders on this city. An appropriation has already been made for the farm by the Government. The ap- pointments are worth $2000 a year each, and the information is particularly in- teresting at this time, owing to a sale of reservation lands now going on by Com- missioners from Ohio, Indiana and Georgia, who have been here two years at $10 per day each. Hugh C. Wallace, the National Demo- cratic Committeeman from this State, has the credit of securing these agents’ ap- pointments, and there is a great row in Democratic circles of this State over the choices made. Bamber was formerly Wallace’s private secretary and graduated from that confidential position to the wardenship of the Government prison on McNeils Island, a few miles from here. He was suddenly removed from that position a year ago because there were too many eggs and too much sugar for the prisoners on the bills that the Government was re- quired to foot. Bernhard is a Republican, and there is a great big howl at his success and a corre- sponding verbal castigation among the rank and file of the party at Wallace. Very little is known about Kelly. The {ndian lands on the reservation sold to-day brought $10,000. These lands are claimed by the Indians, who are now citi- zens of the United States, and at a meet- ing yesterday it was decided to retain pos- session of the common land and eject all pretended purchasers. To-aay the land was covered with notices warning all per- sons to keep off. E'S MILEAGE. She Xs Dragged Into an Investigation of the Board of Charities.

A voucher signed by Mrs. Lease and pre- sented to the investigating committee shows that in October, 1894, she drew $34 70 for mileage and $15 per diem asa member of the board, while the records, it is alleged, show she did not attend a single meeting of the board during that month, and was not therefore entitled to any re- muneration. B AN O Need No. More Relief. LINCOLN, NEeBr., May 1l.—Governor Colcombe has authorized the statement that he has been advised by the State re- lief committee that the wants of the peo- ple in the drouth-stricken portions of Ne- braska have been supplied to such an extent that further contributions from of Santa Rosa was read, thanking Healds- burg for the liberal contribution of flowers from this city and promising aid for the Jocal fiesta.

SANTA CRUZ, CALn., May 11.—A carni- val mass-meeting was held this evening in the Pavilion, presided over by President J. P. Smith, who had just returned from San Francisco, and was most enthusiastic over his reception by the people of the me- tropolis. He spoke of the success of the carnival being due to the ladies of this city, and offered three cheers for their efforts, which were given with a great spirit.

Senator Burt Burke spoke enthusiasti- cally of the assistance and sympathy of East Santa Cruz, and announced that the finance committee would call upon the cit- izens Monday and give them the chance of investing in stock. He urged every man, woman and child to put nothing in the way that would impede the progress and the success of the carnival. J. T. Sullivan, chairman of the promo- tion committee, read telegrams from 8. F. Thorn of the Grand Hotel, George Pippy of the Union League Cluu, W. D. Sanborn, Colonel Warfield and General Dimond.

Dr. Duestrow appeared to be the happiest of men, smiling triumphantly when the verdict became known. ‘*‘Are you glad?” he was asked. “Yes, I am,”” he answered ; *‘this nonsense is over now.” Governor Johnson, Duestrow’s attorney, was asked by his client in an insolent manner: ‘“Have you got anything to say tome?” “I will see you later,” said the Governor. Judge Hirzell and attorneys decided upon July 26 as the time for the trial of Duestrow on charges of murdering his wife and child. —— CONVENTION OF MINERS.

Miss Helen Gould Declines an Honor but Sends an Elegant Gold Goblet. MEMPHIS, TE~N., May 11.—The pre- lude to the interstate drill and encamp- ment to-day was greeted by lowering skies and uncomiortably cold temperature, but there is a large number of visitors in the city, and their presence, with the elaborate decorations of the buildings, gives the streets a gala appearance.

Despite the chilly weather the crowd at Montgomery Park this afternoon num- bered upward to 3000 people, a large majority of whom were ladies. Their en- thusiasm for the eturdy sons of Mars was hearty and demonstrative. The feature of the opening ceremonies was the ‘presentation of the -various com- panies to their sponsors. After the troops had been called to dress parade at 3 o'cleck the sponsors with their chaperons and maids representing the best society of the city were driven in gaily decorated carriages to positions in front of their re- spective companies, where the presentation occurred and the colors were delivered to the sponsors. Then followed a parade around the grounds. This evening a concert programme was given by the Iowa State band. Camp Schofield presents an animated scene to- night.

SETTLING AN OLD GRUDGE. The Participants Had Long Been Quarreling Over Thelr Business Affairs. VICTORIA, B. C., May 11.—Hon. D. W. Higeins, Speaker of the British Columbia Legislature, this morning summarily ad- ministered corporal punishment to Hed- ley Chapman, manager of the Electréc Lighting and Tramway Company in this city. Higgins was formerly manager of the company, in which he still is the largest individual shareholder, but a few months ago Chapman took the office. Chapman is a young Englishman. This morning he had just been warmly arguing a point with a man having a claim against the company when Speaker Higgins en- tered the office and took down an account- book which, as shareholdor, he presumably had a right to examine. *Chapman came up,” said Mr. Higgins, in giving his account of the fracas, “‘and in an offensive tone said, ‘You can’t make any notes out of that book.” ‘Oh, yes I can. and I will,’ I replied. “Then he hissed in my ear, ‘A boodler should not suspect others of boodling.’ ‘What do you mean, sir?’ I demanded. ‘Do you dare tocall me a boodler?” He repeated the expression, and I landed one in the eye. He could not defend himself, but just tried to scratch. Three or four people came in and held us, and I left the place. Chapman has been most insulting to me for a long time, and I am only sur- prised that I have not thrashed him be- fore.” After his exciting experience of the morning Chapman went this afternoon to the baseball park to watch the first pame of the season between Seattle and Victoria. While seated upon the grand stand, which was thronged with spectators, he was sud- denly confronted by William Higgins, a son of the Speaker, who is an athlete. He beckoned to Chapman, who, think- ing it prudent to be interviewed in a less public place, quietly foliowed young Hig- gins to a shady corner. “What did you mean by calling my father a boodler?” young Higgins de- manded. “I don’t know that I have to discuss it with you,”” Chapman replied. “No, you had better not,” said Higgins, and he followed the words with a swift blow on Chapman’s already blackened eye and another on the right eye. Then, plac- ing Chapman’s head in chancery, he ad- ministered liberal punishment. Speaker Higgins was until a few years ago proprietor and editor of the Colonist, published in this eity. ENGLAND'S LATEST WHIM. Refuses to Renew One Feature of the Bering Sea Agreement. VICTORIA, B.C., May 11.—The collec- tor of customs received official advice that Great Britain has.refused to remew the agreement with the United States respect- ing the sealing up of arms of all schooners setting out for Bering Sea during the close season, and also permitting the search of any vessel found during such time in pro- hibited waters. Last year the vessels left here in July, in order to be in Bering Sea at the opening of the hunting season at the beginning of August, with sealed arms, and called at Ounalaska to have the seals broken. It is believed that the refusal of the British Government is because of the United States’ neglect to provide for the payment of the indemnity agreed upon. ANT1-GAMBLING BILL. Governor Morton Puis His Signature to the New Measure. ALBANY,N. Y., May 11.—The Governor has signed the Geary racing bill, forbid- ding pool-selling or gambling of any sort, and the supplemental bill fixing a tax of 5 per cent on the gross receipts of racing associations.

Gambling upon the future price of stocks is also provided against, and almost every form of speculative investment, except in- surance, is forbidden under penalties. Poolrooms doing a so-called commissjon business are especially mentioned, thus extinguishing the last hope of those en- gaged in the business apart from the track. g Collided in a Fog. MACKINAW CITY, Mici., May 11— During a heavy fog this morning the steamer Cayuga, loaded with merchandise, ran into the steamer Joseph L Hurd, loaded with lumber, and both sank.

Y., May 11.—It is an- nounced on the authority of the Panama Railroad that all negotiations pending dur- ing the last two years between the com- pany and the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany are at an end, the Panama people be- lieving it to be useless to further prolong the fruitless meetings which have been held from time to time. —_—— Wrecked by a Tornado.

LI Made a Rush for the Mayor. CHICAGO, TiL., May 11.—A panic was caused in the Mayor’s office this afternoon by the attempt of a discharged employe to 3 slug Mayor Swift. The assailant was Phil- lip Chester, who made a rush for the Mayor, yelling all sorts of threats, but he was stopped by the clerks and overpow- ered. The noise frightened the people in the building, and in the rush for safety several were knocked down and trampled, but none seriously injured. The Mayor escaped unhurt. ——————— REY FEL SANTA ANITA THERE. Baldwin’s Horse in Fine Form Jor the Brooklyn Handicap. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 11.—The Cali- fornia horse Rey el Santa Anita arrived at the Gravesend track last night. His pres- ence completes the expected Brooklyn handicap field, every horse at all likely to start with a possible chance to win now being within convenient reach of the track where the race will be run. Rey el Santa Anita, after working a fast trial at Louis- ville, was shipped to New York with three others, Santiago and Salonica of E. J. Bald- win’s stable, and Sister Mary, owned by T. G. Sing, Baldwin’s retiring manager, who brought the horses on. They arrived in first-class condition. Sam Hildreth, who succeeded Bill Brien as trainer for Baldwin, gave Rey el Santa Anita his trial at Louisville, and though he has handied the horse only a short time, is confident he will run a great race. Sister Mary is also a possible starter in the Brook- lyn handica FNE MEN ARE HANGED. They All Remain Defiant and Protest Against the Pun- ishment. Four Murderers and One Negro Flend Pay the Death® Penalty. CANON CITY, Cowro., May 11.—Two murderers were hanged in the deathhouse of the State Penitentiary to-night. Thomas Jordan was the first to be executed, and was launched into eternity at 8:43 o’clock. He remained defiant to the end. Gr: haired Peter Augusta followed, thirty-five minutes later, meeting his doom without an audible word. Jordan’s crime was the killing of August Geisin, a foreman at the Omahaand Grant smelter, whom he supposed was responsi- ble for his discharge. Augusta killed Harry Sullivan in the house of a woman both were visiting. Healways maintained that he acted in self-defense, he thinking that he had been enticed into the house by Sullivan and the woman for the purpose of robbery. Both crimes were committed in Denver. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 11.—James Mur- ray, colored, convicted with his brother Ed of the murder of Conductor Edgar Fitz- william on the Midland suburban line, September 23, 1893, for the purpose of Tob- bery, was hanged at Clayton to-day.

JOSEPH, Mo., May 11.—Joseph Bur- ries, colored, was hanged here to-day for an attempted felonious assault upon a seven-year-old girl. This is the first legal execution for that erime ever held in this State, althongh five men have been legally where the attempt was successful. TAKES ISUE WITH DEPN Patrick Egan Says the Free Sil- yer Movement Is Not Dying Out. Says Any Candldate Opposed to the Colnage of the White Metal Cannot Be Elected. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 11.—Patrick Egan, ex-United States Minister to Chile, takes issue with Chauncey M. Depew, who recently declared after a Western trip that the free-silver movement was dying out, Egan, who is known as an ardent Repub- lican, sounds a note of warning to the Re- publicans, who are over-confident of suc- cess in 189. “I doubt seriously,” he said, “that Mr. Depew, on his trip, came in touch with the actual sentiment of the people. Having been a resident of the West and knowing the people I am free to say I believe the silver agitation has only begun, and unless a reaction sets in will become cyclonic be- fore the fall of 1896. Last January I would have readily ventured the prediction that any candidate the Republicans saw fit to nominate in 1896 would be elected. “I am now prepared to revise my opin- ion in so far as to say that if a candidate opposed to the free coinage of silver is nominated his election will at least be problematical. Republicans should not be overconfident. It would not be a bad idea for the party leaders to send some good men to the Western States and let them learn the real sentiment of the peo- ple. They will find that Coin’s Financial School and the address of Archbishop ‘Walsh of Dublin are becoming the guide and preceptor of the Western farmers who believe that capital by the aid of a single standard is squeezing them as a lemon is squeezed. “There may be a new formation of party lines. New conditions may confront us within a year, but the outlook now is that the advocates of free-silver coinage will demand a hearing at the national conven- tion or they will make trouble.

AFRAID OF DYNAMITE, Receiver McNulta Is Now Guarding Whisky Concerns. SQUADS SENT TO PEORIA. Stalwart Deputies Protect the Distilleries of the Trust. THREATS BEING FREELY MADE. An Armed Force Put In the Endan= gered Property Before It Is Too Late. CHICAGO, IrL., May 11.—Acting on se. cret advices received from Peoria, Mr. Mc- Nulta, receiver of the whisky trust, went before Judge Showalter in chambers to- day with a petition to have certain distil- leries at Peoria and Pekin guarded by Deputy United States Marshals. Judge Showalter granted the petition. Chief Deputy Donnelly administered the oath to eight stalwart recruits and left with them for Peoria to-night. A large squad will probably be taken to Peoria Monday. The petition filed by General McNulta, with Judge Showalter’s order in granting it, was made public in the United States Court this evening. From this it appears that McNulta is afraid that Greenhut and others of the old whisky trust will try to take forcible possession of several distilleries, or at least of the bonded warehouses attached to them, in which large quantities of spirits are stored. As a matter of fact, General McNulta's precautions were taken to protect the dis- tillers from dynamite. Threats have been made that two of the biggest trust houses in Peoria may be blown up before June 1. Remembering the manner in which the Showalter distillery was dealt with, Mec- Nulta decided to put an armed force in the distilleries before it was too late.

C., May 11.—The Navy Department has received no informa- tion from the Ranger, but as the Monte- rey, which has been at Panama for sev- eral days, has been ordered to proceed on her way to Callao, it is believed that the department does not need any warship along the coast of that country.
