During his. transit to the courtroom he stmigled and howled. Promptly at 10 o’clock Judge Murphy | took his seat on the bench.

Then Judge Murphy ordered that Col- well be cited to appear on Friday morning at 10 o'clock to _show cause why he should not be punished for contempt, and that the resentencing of the prisoner stand over until the same time. : The deputy ‘sheriffs made a dive at Fredericks to restrap -him, but he raised himself shrieking from the chairand en- deavored to bang his_head on the table before him. Boa{s and a weighty pitcher were removed out of harm’s way, and the risoner was safely bound and carried from {ha courtroom, face downward, through the excited throng of sightseers to the prison van below. It was stated that Attorney Colwell has been in Fresno for the past two weeksand that the official notification of the resen- tencing had failed to reach him.

Cross-Examlned by Attorney Rix the Plaintiff Makes Other Charges. Plaintiff C. A: Loomis was on the stand yesterday afternoon.in. his snit against Calvin Somers for $100,000:for malicious prosecution. He was under cross-examin- ation by the defense, but managed to get in several additional charges against his adversary, Somers.: Loomis was cross-examined by counsel as to his statements regarding Somers’ propositions to--him: to ‘murder Mrs: Steiger, Somers” mother, by: sandbagging, drowning, and otherwise removing ker. He held to his original assertions. He also hinted that Somers wanted him to take some poisoned.cake toaladyin Ban Francisco, but he was checked in his aivulgations in’ this re, als0 told him that Mrs. Treadwell had no claim to the title of purity norher children to that of legitimacy. This witness had repeated to Mrs. Treadwell, who had only remarked, *Did he say s0?"” In another connection Mrs. Treadwell | had said she would never be_satisfied until | Attorney Hudson was six feet under ground, like Mr. Treadwell, and -that she would give Loomis an opportunity to show his friendship in that regard. It was shown that Loomis: throughout:|. these propositions maintained friendly re- lations with Mrs, Treadwell and Somers. |. ‘A juryman asked why he had not informed the authorities, Loomis answered that he wanted Somers to sisn a statement exonerating him from g:kb ame of shooting Detective McClin- BSomers showed some temper at an attor- ney for the dpmsecntion when he asked ‘whether the defense -thought he had pro- cured Mrs. Isabella Somers’ deposition. This was on asecond but vainattempt to introduce the deposition. Both parties have announced that they have concluded with Witness Fisher Amies. To-day Judge Daingerfield will continue to try the case in his new courtroom in the Larkin-street wing. Mr. Loomis will again be subjected to. cross-examination by At- torney Rix for the defense, Enew His Business. “You are the man,” he said, ashc leaned forward in the st r and ‘pointed his finger to the complacent and self-satisfied looking passenger opposite—"you are the man wio' predicted r:;t October that we would have a mild winter!” “Yes, I did,” replied the man. »But we had a terrible winter “Yes.” : “Ani!,yml are no prophet.”. “No.” No.' “'.l‘:en ‘vgg‘,dr—whydld you make stich icti ““As g matter of business.

AMediterranean bird, the beccafico, com- mon on_the southern shores of Italy and E]inn Sicily and Malta, in the Grecian Tslands and on_the northern shores of Africa, but until recent years quite un- known in the British Isles, now re; ly migrates to the neighborhood of Brighton, where a lgrge orchard of fig trees was planted some time ago, and in these trees the bird lgreatly delights. These little creatures discovered in some way the fact of this plantation of their favorite trees, and have ever since come over to share the spoil. How did they hear the news? It is said that in this case the nightingales were the news distribu- tors, telling the southern birds the story of the English figs, and showing them the way over. However this may be these little birds from the warm shores of the Mediterranean seem likely to become es- tablished as naturalized emigrants to the shores of this country.—Saturday Journal. e e SAWTHE VALLEY ALSD, H. E. Huntington and En- gineer Hood Had an Eye on the New Line. Now the Agents Are About to Close an Agreement Against Cutting Rates. Chief Engineer Hood and H. E. Hunt- ington of the Southern Pacific Company have returned from a tour of inspection of the railway in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley. They are reticent about their trip, which on'its face had no apparent significance, but since their return énough has been di- vulged to indicate -the real importance of this *inspection.”’ It was announced that some changes would be made at Los Angeles and there- abouts in station arrangements, and also that some extensions of tracks and other improvements had been considered on the round. That, of course, was a matter of ittle interest to the public—at least, the people of Northern or Central. California, and it was quickly discussed and acted on. Incidentally the San Joaquin Valley around Fresno and Visalia ‘was looked over very quietly and while the Valiey railroad directors were in. one town dis- cussing the competing line with the ci zens the Southern Pacific party was occu- pied with other questions in another city, The territory between ~Bakersfield - and Fresno wasgone over thoroughly. Noth- ing was said about it, however, but the VaElley road people may hear something from the inspection when least expected. A delegation from the local Passenger Agents’ Association called on D. Hitchcock of the Union Pacific Company vesterday with the purpose of inducing im to sign the agents’ ironclad agreement before to-day, the date set forclosing the document _against - signatures. Agent Hitchcock informed them that he woula | sign the document provided that two ob- jectionable clauses were removed. { A meeting of the city agents will be held this morning in the Palace Hotel, and Mr. Hitcheock, the only non-member, will be present. Little or nothing is expected to come of the session, as the agents have virtually concluded to wait until May 24, on which day they will havea report from the Chicago meeting of the reorganized Western Passenger Association. By that time, too, they will have the agreement | signed Tuesday in Chicago bg their supe- rior officers, and_the only thing left for them is to sign it. The local agreement may then become void by resolution. The whole thing means the end, for an | indefinite period, of competition in pas- | senger rates. A Pullman excursion train, sonsisting of | a dining-car and as many sleeping-coaches | as are needed, will leave Oakland mole late | nival. It will remain at Santa Cruzasa | hotel for the excursionists during the festi- | val days. 3 | ——————— | Editorial Visitors in Billville. | Walk right into the office, and if you | don’t see what you want, just ask for it. | Take all the latest exchanges before the | editor hasa chance to get them.

IT MUST BE A MONARCHY So Says the New York Even- ing Post’s Qorrespondent of Hawaii. THE REPUBLIC IS IN DANGER. Complications That He Thinks Will Soon Cause Its Down=- fali. Julius ‘A. Palmer, who went down to the Hawaiian Islands to investigate the state of -affairs there as special correspond- ent of the New York Evening Post, some three months ago, arrived here yesterday on the Australia. ‘He had been there once before—during the. troubles after the revo- lution, for: the Boston-Transcript, and is very familiar with all the affairs in the islands. He believes that there will soon be a crisis there, and that the end can only be the restoration of the monarchical form of Government. Yesterday at the California Hotel, in speaking of the matter, he said: *‘There never will be harmony until the mon- archy is restored in Princess Kaiulani, and that'would make peace at once,” X In giving his reasons for this belief he said: ‘“There are three main points of danger to the Government. The first is that Secretary Gresham has decided that Bowles is not an American citizen and that Great Britain has decided that Rickard and Walker are British subjects. ““If these decisions had been exactly the reverse they would have been exactly suited to the minds of the ruling powers. That would have given them nearly all status as American citizens through their claim of dual citizenship.- The Rickard and Walker decision emgroils them with | Great Britain because they were condemned by a court-martial that practically had2no | status and was formed contrary to the pro- visions of their constitution, and so the Goyernmert has simply given out that the claim of Great Britain will be contested. “The immediate and desired effect will be delay.. They are holding on hoping that something will turn up and are tem- orizing only. Great Britain has made no Hemand for the men. The trouble with the Government is that having once tried the men they cannot try them again, and if they do release them on account of the illegality of the commission that tried them they must release all who were tried from the Queen down. Ii they admit Great_Britain’s contention that Rickard and Walker are British subjects then Great Britain will examine into the legal- ity of the commission. “The greatest fear of the Hawaiian Gov- ernment is Japan, and they do not scruple to say so. They are making arrangements to get in 5000 Chinese coclies and send away as many Japanese. The Govern- ment, when the Japanese coolies came in, gave an understanding that if Japan would supply them with coolies they would em- ploy them. Now Jal?au will probably hold that this understanding is being violated. “The third danger to the Government party is in themselves. The Democracy or American League is taking umbrage at the new importation of Chinese. ““Now that the nativesare in anyway favor- ing annexation or allegiance to the present Government is utterly false. Fiveorsixa week probably swear allegiance and there are five or six thousand of them in the island of Hawaii alone. “The financial condition is also one of the things that will help to bring ina crisis. May 1 the Government adver- tised publicly that no bills would be paid except in three and six months’ credit. “‘Loyalty of the natives to the monarchy ‘was never as strong as it is now, and it was the basis of the union of all parties in past years, and there will never be harmony un- iil that monarchy is restored in Princess Kaulani, and that would make peace at | once. “‘The impression is given by the drilling of United States marines to the lower ele- ments and natives that the oligarchy is| sustained as it was instituted, by the naval power of the United States. “It is on that that the Government prac- tically relies should there be rioting on shore. Idon’t mean to say that this Gov- ernment is doing anything of the sort, but that impression is _given to the Chinese, | Japanese and more ignorant of the natives. | “Minister Thurston is supposed to ad- | vocate a general amnesty, so as to disarm | external criticism'and insure against for- eign intervention. ¥ “Nothing would be more foolish than for this Government to_have anything to do with the islands politically, but _every advantage could be gained by allowing all | the merchandise going betwcen the | islands and America to e free of duty. “Jt is hard to predict what the iuture will be, but all down there are convinced | that the present state of things cannot last. I think a limited monarchy with Kaiulani is the only solation.” ANNEXATION IMPOSSIBLE. Volney V. Ashford Says That the Pres- ent Government Must Fall and Monarchy Is Probable. Colonel Volney V. Ashiord arrived from Hawaii yesterday. He was once in com- mand of the royal forees in the Hawaiian ationist. Finally he disagreed with -the Government and was arrested for com- plicity in. the late attempt at revoiution, was tried and sentenced by.the commis- siori to a year’s imprisonment and to pay a fine of $1600. - His health failed when in was released on condition leave the country. % He is no longer an annexationist, but a believer in the re-establishment of a monarchical form of Governmentin the islands, although he claims that he was wrongfully convicted of participation in the late uprising. £ He sai ‘There is a perfect reign of terror in the islands. Informers are every- where. People .do not dare to speak in their own houses. There is everywherea feeling of uncertainty, doubt -and impend- ing danger and ruin. “Phose. who favored annexation have made up their minds that it is impossible. ‘The missionaries, as we call most of the political party in power, have claimed to be in favor of annexation, but have never been really. The real annexationists mis- trast them now. “Asto the future? Well, annexation is an impossibility and all are about agreed on that. Thurston has. gone back, and it | is publicly said that he is going to propose | the restoration of a monarchy, with ison, and he tgl:t he v(ouid “A republic seems an impossibility, such alarge part of the population are incapable | of governing themselves. As long as this so-called republic can pay armed men to | keep down rebellion it will last and no | longer.. What they are talking of now and want first is some sort of protectorate of | the United States. “They are afraid of Japan, and then they want some protection. against any other foreign interference. en, of course, what is next wanted is a monarchy. i “The natives are not it all discouraged by | the failure of the last movement. They ! would gladly make another, attempt. am nota royalist in principle, but under all the conditions existing down theré I think it is the only thing. ‘A monarchy would unite all the natives and be re: spected by all foreign powers."'

The body was taken into the Morgue a little before midnight. _His_appearance indicated -that at one time be might have been fairly prosper- cus. In the directory his address is given as 503 Lyon street, and his bnsiness live- stock. He is supposed to bave been a dealer in horses. He was dressed in a suit of dark blue material, with a light overcoat and a black soit felt hat. His suicide must have been coolly and deliberately planned, as he leit a note, written with an.indelible pencil, giving the reasons for his- self-destruction as follows: Iam suffering so badly that I don’t know how to stand it. The trouble seems to be about my heart and I can stand it no longer.

Possibly Fenelon has owed his great reputation as much to his famous quarrel with Bossuet, as to the authorship of “Telemachus” or to his own personal merits. It pleased the skeptical writers of the eighteenth century to regard Fenelon as in some measure an encyclopedist, who had been born a century too soon. He was the angel of sweetness and patience, while in the same legend Bossuet was the fanatical, overbearing ecclesiastic, who, in the interest of the church, would have burned Fenelon and every other liberal spirit. The. view was unjust, both to Fenelon and Bossuet, for the first was not the un- complaining man this legend makes him out to be, nor was the other cruel and un- scrupulous in any unworthy sense. The ‘““Eagle -of ‘Meaux” was exclusively a churchman, but he was a good man ac- cording to his own rather narrow concep- tion of righteousness. The regard which the eichteenth century had for Fenelon is illustrated in a curious way b{ asaying of Rousseau. “If Fenelon were living,” said a friend to him, *“you would be orthodox.” “Ah,” replied Jean Jacques, “I would be his lackey, in the hope that I might come to be his valet.”—Macmillan’s Magazine.
