Actlon on the Resolution Intro- duced Has Been Postponed Two Weeks. organize and define the powers of the Board of Railroad Commissioners (section 11, chapter 59, statutes of 1880), and the rules of the com- mission: It is aceordingly ordered that a certified copy of the resolution and order adopting the amended schedule be served by the secretary of this commission upon the Southern Pacific Company; and in case said company shall pre- fer, for its own convenience, and to simplify the duties of all concerned, to make its own copies of such amended schedule, and shall consent to put the same in oOpera- tion within twenty (20) days from and after the service of sald order, and in accordance therewith, it may do so with- | out further preliminary process or proceeding o enforce the sume. Frovided said company, or its general mannger, shall, within three (3) deys from and after thé service of said order, acknowledge the service of said amended schedule by printed copy, expressly waiving all other servica or notice thereof in writing, addressed to said commission and to be filed | and remain of record in the office of said com- mission. . And it is further ordered that if such acknowledgement and waiver as aforesaid shall e The Railroad Commissioners have drawn (peu official knives against Southern Pa- c_)fic rates in general—grain rates in par- ticular. The big cornoration in cons quence is face to face with a new and | perplexing condition, and the heads of the different departments are preparing to lie sfrake for nights to come to think it out. Never before in the history of California has a Railroad Commission been bold enough to openly challenge the *‘octopus’ to combat, and more to the purpose, from not be filed in said Commissioners’ office with- in three (3) days from and after the service of such order, as aforesaid, then and in that event said secrefary shall immediately proceed to print such schedule and order, and to serve printed copies on the said Southern Pacific | Campany and shall keep a record of his action in the minutes of said commission. | Attorney Martin was on his feet in a moment. | “I would offer a suggestion,” he said, | “that the Commissioners do not vote upon | this matter at once, as the company would | like some time to consider the schedule.” He stated further that the company had already made heavy reductions and he was | afraid that the one now proposed would | | reduction. Did you take into_considera- tion the reasons that Captain Roberts ad- vanced against the reduction of rates in reference to river steamboats ?” “While I have the greatest admiration for Onfitnin Roberts,” replied Mr. La Rue, “I will’ guarantee that if the reduction goes into effect we will find him and his boats on the river just the same. They can carry grain a good deal cheaper by water than by rail, and if the railroad can afford it the steamers can.”” *‘The reason I spoke,” said Dr. Stanton, “is that if this 1s a proper reduction [ shall vote for it, but before voting for a re- duction I would like to be satisfied that it is a proper one; and for that reason I think we should go into a thorough inves- tigation of it. I think that if we are going into the matter honestly and intelligently itisour duty to hear both sides of the case and get their reasons for and against a reduction.” Mr. La Rue stated that he had no doubt the reductions should be made. He had studied the question very thoroughly and was sure of his ground. “The rate on flour,” he continued, *'should also be attended to. It affects the home of everybody, and here it costs twice as much for transportation as does grain. 1 will say that to the railroad men.” After a few general remarks on the mat- ter in hand, Attorney Martin asked that the Southern Pacific and other transporta- tion companies be served with a copy of the resolution. “Another suggestion,” said Mr. Martin, who seemed to be full of them. ‘I under- stood you to say something concerning the L/ i ) 2 NN COMMISSIONER LA RUE HAS HIS ARE SHARPE. o a8 ENIFE OUT AND THE OTHER NING THEIRS. the farmers’ point of view, never has a Railroad Commission been betier pre- pared to win its ground. Ever since the election the farmers of the State have been importuning the Com- missioners to carry out their ante-election pledges; and ever since the election those same Commissioners have done nothine in the matter except to say that they would see that the reductions were made. Yes- terday the time for promises was fully rounded out and the time for action had apparently arrived. Commissioner La Rue look the initiative in the matter, and received what appeared to be hearty sec- onds from Commissioners Stanton and Clarke. i Z The rooms of the commission in the Chronicle building were pretty well crowded when the meeting was called to order at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The three Commissioners were in their places and the remuinderff toe space was occu- ied by the portly figures of railroad men. uthern Pacific’ Attorney John C. Martin was there, flanked by General Freight Agent Smurr and Mr. Curtis, assistant to the general manager. Then there was Captain John H. Roberts of the Sacra- mento Transportation Company and a number of less prominent employes of Mr. Huntington. On each face wasa look of expectancy and every shoulder was well set in to withstand the shock fully ex- pected to come from the Railroad Commis- sioners. The anxious railroaders did not have to wait long. The blow came within a minute after the session was called to order, when Commissioner La Rue offered the following resolutions, which were read by Becretary Newman: WHEREAS, The Southern Pacific Company aid, during the year 1894, assure the people thet material reductions in rates for the trans- rtation of grain would be made over their ggclfic system in California; and whereas, in accordance therewith it did, on the 29th day of December, 1894, adopt, publish and put into effect & scheatle of rates on grain, known and designated as grain tariff No. 2, wherein many reductions were made between the various stations in_the grain-producing sections and ints of delivery; said reduced rates not be- ng general, but applying to certain sections of the State only, the reductions so made varying from four (4) per cent to twenty (20) per cent, or thereabouts, while in many lo- ealities no reduction whatever was mad and in other sections where mno grain is produced _for shipment and but little Ifransported by the railroads the rates were very materially reduced, varving from thirty (30) cents to three dollars ($3) per ton; and whereas, the reductions noted are inade- quate and do not afford the relief required and necessary to enable the producer toput his grain in the market at areasonable rate. as the Tates now charged are exorbitant, excessive and greater than the producer can afford to pay, the cost of traunsportation being greater than the trafic will bear; and whereas, owing to the general depression in all kinds of business and to the yery unremunerative prices received by the producer forall kindsof cereal products, the rates for transporting to market or ship- ing points should be reduced to the very owest possible figure that will afford the car- rier a reasonable and just compensation for such service; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That grain tariff No. 2, adopted, ublished and put into effect December 29, 894, by the Southern Pacific Company, with !l subsequent amendments thereto, applying on straight or mixed carloads of grain, bran, shorts, middlings, feed, gronnd, cracked or rolled’ barley,and cracked corn 'in sacks be- tween San Frencisco, Oakland wharf, Port Costa, Nevada dock, Benicia, South Vallejo, Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville, Los Angeles, Port Los Angeles and San’ Pedro, and stations on the Southern Pacific Company’s Pacific sys- tem named therein, and being in the State o! California, be and the same is hereby amended as follows: ‘A general reduction from the present rates of fl!leenélfl)percem of each and every rate charged between any and all points or stations named in said tariff or schedule is hereby mede except that between the following-named stations and all points named in said tariff or schedule, the rate shall be reduced twenty (20) r cent from present rates, to wit: Lincoln, ECWIII[.

Now, therefore, in pursuance of an act to H\rove ruinous.. It would take some time or him to look carefully into the resolu- | tion in order that he might be prepared to | make an argument if one was necessary. | Captain J. H. Roberts of the Sacramento | Transportation Company,which runsboats on the river, made an out-and-ont protest | against the resolution. Itsadoption would | drive his company off the river. His com- | pany was in competition with the railroad | company in the transportation of grain, | and had already suffered somewhat from | the reductions already made, and if the | proposed further reduction went into effect | his' company wounld be compelled to go | out of business and sell its boats. | _ “If we do not make reductions,’ said | Mr. La Rue when Captain Roberts had | finished, “we will ruin the farmers.” “I can't help that,”’ replied Captain | Roberts, ‘“‘that is their lookout. We have | put our money into a big plant and we | ought to be allowed to live.” | “So ought the farmers,”” rejoined the | chairman. “They are the men who | duce the grain and give you business. If L4 rates on flour—could we not take this all up at the one time?” “I think so,” replied Mr. La Rue, “but I reaulv have not given that much attention at all.” “There is this to be said about rates,” said Mr. Martin, ‘‘they are relative, and in the matter of reduction, flour would be considered as it is, a grain product. If you | will give us time we will have these mat- ters all brought up.” Commissioner ~Clarke asked if two weeks’ time would be sufficient, and Mr. pro- | we grind them down they will not be able | | to Yroduce any more grain for you to [ haul.” | “Let them keep their grain and cook it,"” | | retorted Captain Roberts. ‘*‘Let them | make coffee out of it.” | The captain then stated that it might be | well for the members of the commission to post themselves up in the matter, and | for that purpose he offered to take them | on an excarsion up the river on one of his boats so that they could see conditions as | he said they existed. | ‘“Now,” said Commissioner La Rue, ‘‘the | railroad people will tell you that they are the ones we are after. But I will say that | we do not want to injure any business, but my impression is that the rates are too high.” “) would like to know,’ said Commis- | up to this time, “upon what basis this 15 per cent reduction is made. If thatisa roper reduction it should be made, but it may be that a greater reduction would be | possible ; and 1t may be that that reduction | in the face of other reductions made dur- |ing the pa t year would be excessive. I | am prepared to vote for a proper reduction, but' I would like to be thoroughly satisfied that the reduction is proper. | “As I said before,” replied Commis- sioner La Rue, “I am pretty well ac- quainted with the topofiraphy of the coun- try and I have been a shipper of grain ever since the first grain was_grown in Cali- fornia by white people. Now the railroad company, when it first made its rates, was supposed to make them equable ir all parts of the State. The rates fixed by the company have been high and of its own volition it has reduced these rates from time to time. But in looking very carefully over the reductions made in the schedule of December 29 last I am satisfied that in the large grain-growing sections, take the Fresno country and down that way, the rates are at present too high.” © Mr. La Rue then read from the schedule of December 29 to show that what he had stated was true and then he read a num- ber of rates quoted in the United States | agricultural reports to show that Eastern roads hauled grain much further for less money than did the Southern Pacific. “I believe,”’ he continued, relerrinf to the schedule of December 29, “that these charges are higher than in any other place; that they are more than is war- ranted, and that they ought to be reduced | on that account—not to say anything from the standpoint of the financial condition of the country. I am of the opinion that, taking the climatic conditions, the topog- raphy of the country and the easy trans- portation of the products of the soil to tidewater and shipping. points, the grain can be transported for 15 per cent less than present rates.” “Do you think it is possible to make a further reduction?” asked Commissioner Stanton. “It might be possible,”” was the reply, vand it might not. I believe that is a reasonable reduction and that they (the Southern Pacific) can afford to carry it for this amount less.” Commissioner Clarke, who had been silent up to this time, stated that he would fayor reductions if they were just, but was hardly prepared to act hastily. He there- fore moved for a postponement for further consideration. r. Stanton was of the opinion ?hat the }slntter should be taken up as early as possible. lf‘Mr. Chynirml::l," he said, “I would like to ask you one question in making this sioner Stanton, who had remained silent | | Martin replied that he would try to make | that do. By a vote of the commission the matter of the resolution was then post- poned for consideration until Wednesday, the 28th inst. Mr. La Rue then called the attention of Mr. Martin to the grain schedule from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco, where from one point between the places the rate was greater than for the whole distance. He then showed him section 21 of the consti- tution and asked him if that could be done. “The railroad contends that it can,” was the reply. ‘““The railroad contends in these | matters” this only applies to service and transportation.’’ This matter being disposed of several communications were read, among them one from General Freight Agent Smurr of the Southern Pacific concerning freight and passenger charges on the Lodi branch, between Woodbridge and Valley Springs, the subject of acomplaint made by Fre Hutchins of Woodbridge. The latter had made particular complaint concerning the charge for hauling wood. In ils commu- nication the company stated it had come to the conclusion to refix the rate so as to make it practically $1 50 a cord for a dis- tance of twenty miles. Mr. Clarke moved that this schedule be approved. A vote was about to be taken when Dr. Stanton objected to voting at resent, as he wanted the matter further investigated, thinking that this should go over with the other matters. It was so or- dered and the meeting adjourned. SOIENTIFIC HANDBALL. Kilgallon and Linehan Defeat Nealon and Bonnet. The Occidental handball court was crowded last night, and there was an un- usually large turnout of ladies. The at- traction was a match between J. C. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet and M. J. Kilgallon and R. Linehan. Nealon has been absent from the court for several weeks through sickness and business. When he appeared in the alley he received a perfect ovation, the crowd rising and giving three cheers for the popular veteran player. 'he match was won by Kilgallon and Linehan in three straight” games. Nealon was out of practice, which accounted in a measure for the result, which was as follows: . Kilgallon and Lineha; Nealon and Bonnet. 3 Another interesting match was between P. F. McCormick and W. layed acobs and C. J. McGlynn and D. M. Stanley. McCormick and the youngster won enai{y by the score: McCormick and Jacobs.... McGlyno and Stanley s D Spring Valley Alumni.

ON THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA. Two of Their Party Died of Fever in Pursult of the Delusive Bubble. J. H. Farthing, Mark Mentor and Henry T. Welsh returned on the steamer Colon, from Panama, and brought back very de- pressing news of their enterprise and ex- perience on the pestilential shores of the ‘Atlantic, eighty miles north of Colon. They were glad to get back again to California, in fact to be alive and well, al- though it will take some time for Mentor and Welsh to recover from Panama fever and the dire effects of miasma after a month’s stay on the isthmus. Two of their party, G. H. Farthing and Thomas Cooke, were left behind, and they lie in lonely graves where the Atlantic rolls in upon the black sands that were supposed to hold gold in marvelous abundance. But there was no gold 1n these same sands, not even ‘‘a color,’ save in sporadic traces, and this contains the burden of the trav- elers’ story. The party, consisting of well-known men in San Jose, was made up in that city to develop new gold fields on the eastern side of the isthmus. A man named Burkhardt of Laramie, Wyo., who had been down there, came back to California with a de- scription of the place so glowing and excit- able that he soon found enterprising men to work the alleged mines. Visions of un- told wealth floated before them, and rely- ing on Burkhardt's story they invested several thousand dollars in amalgamators, in an outfit and incidental machinery, and then started off for the new El Dorado. Thomas Cooke and G. H. Farthing weee the first to leave. A month later the other three left San Francisco to join them on the Veragua River, eighty miles north of Colon, where the mine had been located by Burkhardt. “When we got there,” said J. H. Farth- ing last night, ‘‘we found the two young men had died. They drank from the Veragua River, and that in itself was enough to kill them. “We set to work, got the machinery off the sloop, which carried it from Colon, and erected our plant as fast as we could, being anxious to begin mining without deiay. “Well, we tested the black sand and, to our surprise, found it did not pan out more than 50 centsto $1 a ton. It was a fraud, and only then we saw that we had been duped. That was hard to bear after a working test of a sample from the sup- EOSEd mine had given $26 33 a ton in San rancisco. 'We learned also from the natives that Burkhardt had panned and washed the black sand until it got that much gold in it before taking samples ere. “Burkhardt had been a surveyor down on the isthmus and played uson the mine. From what I heard down there he thought the boys would die and we would grow discouraged and abandon the valuable machinery, in which case he would get hold of it later on and use it to test the gravel and black sand of the Antigua mine, which is two miles up the river and one mile back in the foothills, and is very rich. “The Antigna mine was worked by the first Spaniards on the isthmus, but their crude methods could not make it pay, though it yielded fully $60 fo $80 a ton. There was no owner to claim it when I was there. The natives used to wash out apan of 25 or 30 cents and then leave it, having been satisfied with their bananas and wild animals to support life. So I filed a clsim on it and took particular E‘nim to let Mr, Burkhardt know that. hen he left Colon immediately for New York. He saw it was hopeless to think of getting the mining plant and quit. “I intend to return there in time to re- ceive my claim from the Government, and will then work the Antigua mine. Meanwhile the machinery is there on the coast, at the mouth of the Veragua River, in care of a Mr. Ginell, who owns the sloop trading at that point. ‘‘How did we avoid the fever? We drank boiled water entirely and watched our food carefully, but even then Mentor and Welsh got sick. Welsh was very ill when he was taken off the boat, and it will take him a good while to get well again. S8till, we all are happy to be here with our lives.” LORING CLUB CONCERT.
