THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1895 - SCHEMES OF RUSSIA, Endeavoring to Enlist Germany in Eastern Projects. M. DE WITTE'S MISSION. The Czar’s Minister of Finance Said to Be Treating With Berlin Bankers. CENSORSHIP OF THE PRESS. Kaiser Willlam Causes the Arrest of Another Socialist Editor for Lese-Majeste. JERMANY, Sept. 20.—The pro- in Berlin of M. de Witte, the ian Minister of Finance, simultane- with the visit to the German capital agentof the Bank of St. Petersburg, en the appearance of truth te re- hat Russia is endeavoring to induce to participate in politico-finan- cial projects in China. M. de Witte, ever, has positively denied that his visit has anything to do with finance, but there are many who still believe that this as- severation is merely a diplomatic figure of speech. To one interviewer M. de Witte said he had been spending a short season in Swit- zerland for the benefit of his health, and was on his way home with his family. Hi stay in Berlin was merely in gratification port; Ges of his desire to consult eminent German | He had, be said, no intention seeing any politicians or financiers while here. The tact that he had ac- corded interviews with several banke: since his arrival here, he explained, was due to his interest in the formation of a large electrical company which he hoped that the Disconto G schaft and other German bankers would become interested. M. de Witte said he had told the ba with whom he had interviews that if any further arrange- ments in connection with Russo-Chinese finances were required they would be con- ducted through French bankers exclu- sively and not through German houses. The Cologne Gazette, apropos of the re- ports that several Berlin bankers had been sounding Minister de Witte on the ques- tion of takinga share in a new Russian state loan, warns them to keep aloof from all financial projects in which M. de Witte is concerned, and, pursuing the subject, reminds them that since he had obtained control of the finances of Russia the debt of that empire had been increased by 35,000,000 francs. “If Russia herself or any Russian enter- prise wants any more money,’’ says the Gazette, *“‘let the French lend it to them.” Last Friday’s newspapers circulated the story that M. de Witte had broken off negotiations in connection with his project for the formation of ap electrical company and had suddenly left Berlin. This story has been exploded, however, as M. de Witte is still here. It had its origin in the departure of the agent of the Bank of St. Petersburg, who, by the way, lived in the same hotel with M. de Witte while here. The projected visit to Berlin of the King of the Belgians, which it was surmised had relation to affairs in the Congo State, has been either indefinitely delayed or finally abandoned, no one seems to know which. It is unaerstood from current gossip, how- ever, that the Emperor had a strong dis- like to personal negotiations on the sub- ject, and caused King Leopold to be informed that the negotiations must be conducted through diplomatic channels. Despite the complaints made by the Chambers of Commerce at Kiel and Stet- tin, as well as by others, the Government has declined to reduce the tolls of the Bal- tic-North Sea canal. The protest formu- lated by the Stettin Chamber of Commerce calls attention to the fact that during the month of August only 718 vessels passed through the canal, and this at the old rates. On Tuesday mnext, October 1, the new rate, which increases the tolls by per cent, will go into effect. As the sy tem of lighting the banks of the canal by electricity is very defective vessels ventur- ing through the canal are likely to be stopped during many a long winter night, and it is certain that this prospect will still further and to a great extent lessen the traffic. A notable incident in connection with the lighting of the canal occurred a few duysago. A pole carrying a wire charged with the full power of the plant fell, and two workmen, passing along the bank in the darkness, came into contact with it. One of the men dropped dead upon the fallen wire and the other was thrown back- ward insensible. They were found by other workmen, who tried to remove the dead body from the wire, but they were forced to desist by the strong shocks they received, and the pody remsined where it was until the current was turned off some time afterward. A lady connected with the entourage of the Empress has given some very interest- ing details of the daily life and opinions of the Kaiserin. The imperial lady, it seems, is by no means an admirer of the “eman- cipated woman,” and holds that matri- mony is woman’s natural destiny. Never- theless, in several cases her Majesty has advised ladies under exceptional circum- stances to adopt a profession instead of contracting matrimonial ties, and has lent her personal assistance to carry out her advice. The Empress gives strict personal attention to the regulations of her house- hold, and often pays visits of inspection to the kitchey, which is as simple in its ap- pointment as that of the household of a well-to-do burgher. The Emperor is harsh in his treatment of the young Princes, and in these cases the Empress smooths over their sorrows in true motherly fasbion. If the tutors of the youngsters fina them inattentive to their studies she takes their teachingin hand for an hour or so, and if they become unruly -does not shrink from using the cane upon their princely backs. The Crown Prince, however, is excepted from this treatment, as he is now of an age which places him beyond thie jurisdiction. The Princes are great stamp collectors, and spend a good deal of their spare time in arranging their collections. The Em- press, in supplying a new stamp or observ- ing that they have come into possession of oneof a kind they never E;d. plies them with questions in regard to the geo- graphical location and chief characteristics of the country from which it came. Her Majesty is kind 1o her domestics, but for- bids them to nccegt any presents from guests or others under penalty of dismis- sal, and upon all sides are evidences that she has thoroughly won the affection of ber employes. y : g MeCi d H 'y A sensational trial which has attracted ] and 3"’\;{-.::. 3 ,’:{,,,S‘i?é’,{m& widespread attention has just been closed at Darmstadt, with the result that an im- postor has been sentenced to two months and a half in prison, and a titled lady is under arrest for perjury, The impostor is Adelbert Tomba, who masqueraded under the name of Count von Nesselrode. Tomba is the son of a tailor of Buda- Pesth. He became a student 1n the Hei- delberg University and after leaving the college obtained a situation as a private tutor in the family of Count Waldeck, a wealthy land-owner having estates in Ger- many and Hungary. Tomba was sent to Count Waldeck’s estate in Hungary. Some time afterward a person styled Count George von Nesselrode arrived at the Waldeck estate and schloss at Kurn- bach, in the Duchy of Hesse, where he was received as a guest by the Countess Waldeck, who, with her grown-up daugh- ters, had left Count Waldeck in Hungary. Nesselrode for a number of months posed as a friend of the family and was regarded by the domestics as the master of the house. The inhabitants of Kurnbach, however, were scandalized by the sup- posed relations existing between Nessel- rode and the Countess and began hooting them whenever they were seen together in public. Finally the popular indignation Dbecame so great that as they were driving out together one day a large crowd col- lected and after hoofing the pair and pelt- ing them with missilesdrove them through the town and inside the castle gates. After getting safely within the gates Nesselrode drew a revolver and fired it over the heads of the mob. The police were called, but Nesselrode bad vanished. He was caught later, however, and locked up in the town jail. When he was arraigned before the police authorities next day he persisted that he was really the Count von Nesselrode, and Countess Waldeck under oath maintained that he was a genuine Count of the name he haa given. Even before the court, when absolute evidence of the man’s iden- as Tomba had been produced, the intess stoutly declared upon the wit- ness-stand that she had not recognized the Count as the former tutor Tomba, but had honestly believed him to be Count von Nesselrode, which she still believed. Tomba was sentenced to six weeks in prison for firing his revolver, and an addi- tional sentence of a month's imprison- ment was pronounced upon him for using a false name. The Countess was arrested at the conclu- sion of the trial and is now in jail awaiting trial upon the charge of perjury, which is already pretty well proven by her own tes- timony. The celebrated explorer, Carl Peters, pre- sided at a meeting held in the old Reich- stag building last evening, with the object of creating a German union for the foster- ing of sports, outdoor play and gymnastics. An executive committee was formed, in- cluding Carl Peters, Count Oppersdorf and Dr. ard, to carry out the aims of the meeting. Joseph Dierl alias Roland, formerly tin- smith and tanner, who has recently been signing articles in the car ble editor of the Sociali- .rgan, the Vor- waerts, has been arrested on the charge of lesesmajeste, his offense having consisted in the publication of the comments of the Vorwaerts upon the speech delivered by the Emperor to the guards upon the occa- sion of the Sedan fetes. It isaltogether probable that Dierl never wrote a line that appeared in the Vorwaerts and is in jail merely as a dummy for the real writer of the objectionable articles. The Kreuz Zeitung, commenting upon the reported movement originated by Washington politicians for the payment of export premiums, says: “If such premiums shall be voted in any form the actwill force the adoption of measures of reprisal in Germany and other European States.” The Freisinnige Zeitung expresses the opinion that the proposals for export premiums are a natural pendant to the present Agrarian agita’ion in Germany. A great court hunt has been arranged to take place at Gruenewald on November 4. The King of Saxony and the German Princes have been invited by the Emperor to take part. The Empress has gone to Grunholz to pay a visit to her sister, Princess Caroline Mathilde, the wife of Prince Frederick Ferdinand of the Glucksburg branch of the house of Holstein. The rumors that Prince Henry of Prus- sia, brother of the Emperor, has been sent away on leave of absence for a year because of a serious quarrel with the Kaiser, is dis- credited in court circles. It isasserted by persons in a position to know that it had Jong been arranged that Prince Henry should goona protracted tour after the naval maneuvers at Kiel, and that this fact is the only foundation for the current rumors. The well - known danseuse, Otero, is drawing crowds of admirirs to the Winter Garden Theater to witness her perform- ance. Heydrich’s operatic drama, “Amen,” is being played at the Staat Theater in Co- logne with notable succe: SAN JOSE COLORED CYCLERS. World’s Recovd for Wheelwomen Lowered by Rebecca Downs. SAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 29.—The race meet of the San Jose Colored Cyclers this afternoon proved an interesting event. There was not a very large attendance, but the races were all hotly contested.

GREAT SPEED PREDICTED It Is Thought the Record of the St. Louis Will Be Beaten. READY FOR AN OFFICIAL TEST. Cramp’s Shipmaster to Command When the Actual Trial Is Made. ON BOARD STEAMSHIP ST. PAUL, OFF REEDY ISLAND (DeL.), Sept. 29.— The International Navigation Company’s new steamship St. Paul left Cramp’s ship- yard, Philadelphia, this morning at 7:10 o’clock for her trial trip and made the run of forty miles to Reedy Island in four hours. When the vessel arrived off here anchor was dropped to await the high tide. Although it was Sunday morning and Philadelphia’s river front was practi- celly deserted the St. Paul was saluted by every steam craft she passed, and her whistle was almost constantly replying to salutes until she had passed the city. iris a matter of no small danger for a ship of the St. Paul’s draught to make her way over the shoals in the Delaware River, and Pilot Lewis Chambers picked the way as carefully as an old woman crossing the crowded streets of a busy city, and at no time dia ire push the St. Paul faster than thirteen knots. The anchor was weighed at 6 o’clock this evening and the course shaped for Dela- ware breakwater. The run to the break- water—sixty-five miles—will be made in about four and a half hours. The ship to- night will anchor at The Brown, a few miles above the breakwater. To-morrow morning compasses will be adjusted and officers of the International Navigation vompany and some few invited guests will be talgn aboard from Lewes, Del., where they came by train from Philadelphia. Then the St. Paul will go to sea, the course being shaped for Gloucester, Mass. | It is expected that the vessel will arrive off Gloucester some time Tuesday afternoon. She will not enter Boston harbor, but, weather permitting, will come to anchor | off Gloucester. The naval officers consti- tuting the Government trial board will come aboard at Gloucester, and on Wednesday the trial run will be made. After the trial the ship will proceed to New York, arriving there Thursday. In her recent four-hour trial in the Eng- lish Channel the St. Louis, a sister ship. averaged 22.03 knots an hour, which was the fastest time ever made in a trial of that length of time by a passenger steamer. Some changes, principally in lengthening and increasing the diameter of the two smokestacks, have been made in the St. Paul since she and the St. Louis were de- signed and her builders expect her to ex- ceed her sister ship's time on trial. They will not commit themselves, however, be- yond saying:that she will make 22 knots per hour, but it is safe to say they will be disappointed if she does not average 22.25 or even 22,50 knots on Wednesday. She would probably log the latter figures easily if thesame conditions prevailed in the engine-room as is the case on trials of Government vessels, when the most ex- pert firemen and stokers are at work feed- ing the fires with the best hand-picked coal. In the engine-rooms of the St. Paul, however, the force that will man her on her regular runs is at work and only ordi- nary bituminous coal is in her bunkers. Captain Jameson, who will command the ship when she begins her trips from New York for Southampton, is in charge now, but Captain Sargent, Cramp’s ship- master, went to Boston to-day to prepare for the trial trip, during which time he will be in command. The run will be made over the regular Government course of forty knots between Cape Ann and Cape Porpoise, Maine, and, as in Government trials, it will be staked off with boats at regular intervals. A noticeable thing in the run down the river to-day was the stability of the ship. The vibration of the engines was not at all perceptible, so smoothly did they run. e PEARY NOT DSCOLRAGED Ready to Resume His Quest of the North Pole Next Year. s His Trip to the Arctlc Waters Not Wholly Barren of Results. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 29.—Lieutenant Peary, who reached Halifax after his Greenland trip last week, arrived in this city to-night. He was in the best of health, and while the climate has had consider- able effect on him since his return, it has not affected him as much as he thought it would. The remainder of the party, in- cluding Mrs. Peary, who accompanied her husband on his trip, is still at Halifax and the Kite will be laid up in dock there until next spring when another start for the north will be make. Mr. Peary is very well satisfied with the results of the trip. ““‘We had very hard luck but we have ac- complished a great deal under the circum- stances. There has been an extraordinarily large quantity of ice north this year and it is to this that we can lay most of our mis- fortune. The weather has been grand and if the other conditions had been as perfect we should have easily accomplished what we set out todo. “The sun was seen for the firsttime February 17, after being hidden since Oc- tober 23, During that time the weather was very cold, but considerable work was accompiished on the northern coast of Baffins Bay and an extended collection of the natural objects made. Assoon as the warm weather came we were able to camp in the region near Cape York and here we made several important discoveries of the glacial conditions of the region, which has been a matter for dispute among geolo- gists in the past. On our return journey to the lodge our provisions were all gone and only one dog remained with us. “The Kite arrived in Whale Sound July 31, but the ice floes prevented her from entering Bowdoin Bay. The relief arrived overland from McCormick Bay on Au- gust 3. Lee, Hanson and I returned with thelparty, and on ourarrival the Kite sailed immediately. Wehave notreturned home empty handed, for we have on board the most valuable collection ever brought from the Arctic regions. In addition, we have made a most thorough survey of Inglefield Gulfand its neighborhood, while our geological surveys have been most im- portant and extensive. The other mem- bers of the party will sail directly for New York on Tuesday.” When asked whether he would return to Greenland next year he said that the matter rested with the Government, but that if the necessary funds could be raised he surely would go, as he had the work well in hand and was in a position to push it forward with epergy. He had already received encouragement from several sources and his return seemed assured. He will spend this winter in preparing the various collections and seeing to their placing in the Smithsonian Institute and then if occasion requires it will be ready to sai! early next year. e FRANK PHILLIPS DYING. Was One of the Members of the James and Younger Gang. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Sept. 29.— Frank Phillips, one of the members of the James and Younger gang during its tour through Kentucky and Tennessee in the early seventies, and later a figure in the McCoy-Hatfield fend, is dying fifty miles south” of herein Kentucky from blood- poisoning caused by a bullet wound. A few days ago, on the line between Virginia and Kentucky, he enticed Frank Arnette out and shot him to death. During the dying moments of the latter, he fired a bullet into Phillips that struck a vital point, and then dropped back a corpse. LAST HOUKS OF PASTEUR The Great Scientist Racked by Pains as the End Approached. Telegrams of Condolence Pouring in Upon the Bereaved Family. PARIS, France, Sept. 29.—It is expected that the funeral of Professor Pasteur will take place on Tuesday next, but as yet the day has not been fixed. A stream of visitors to-day signed the register at Villeneuve. Among them were many eminent men of science, ac ademi- cians and societaires. The little telegraph office at Garches, which is close to Villeneuve, was kept busy the whole day receiving telegrams of con- dolence that were sent to Mme. Pasteur President Faure, M. Hanotaux, French Minister of Foreign Affairs; the King of Belgium, who is visiting Paris; M. Saus- sier, Military Governor of Paris; Dr. Le- pine, and the Paris Students’ Association were among the first to send messages to the widow. The last hours of the scientist were filled with pain. Professor Pasteur’s condition became seriously worse on the evening of Friday last. Albuminuria was observed, the heart became very weak and painful, and yiolent spasms became trequent. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Professbr Pasteur’s wife asked him whether he suffered much pain. The dying man faintly whispered: “Yes."” This was the last word that he uttered. Afterward he was most of the time un- conscious. When it was seen that the end was near Professor Pasteur’s son, who was staying at San Sebastian, was summoned, but he did not_arrive in time to see his father alive. Mme. Pasteur, a few near relatives, Dr. Roux and others engaged in the Pas- teur Institute were present at the death- bed. After death Mme. Pasteur closed her husband's eyes and placed a crucifix in his hands. At L’Etang Park, in a room on the first floor of a ramshackle building, over stables where a hundred horses are kept for use in connection with the preparation of diph- theria serum, lie the remains of the great chemist. The chamber hasa low ceiling and the walls arecovered with cheap, green paper. A small carpet is spread on the floor, There are two wicker-seated chairs and an armchair. The body lies on a cur- tainless wooden bedstead. On a plain table stands a candlestick, in which are lighted candles. Close by ina cupboard, placed between two windows, are the books that M. Pasteur used to take to Villeneuve from Paris whenever he paid a visit there. The unpretentious character of the sur- roundings seems to throw into relief the reposeful features and strong, benevolent face of the dead man. The hands are clasped on the crucifix which Mme. Pas- teur placed in them when her husband died. On the whole coverlet are arrayed many of the orders and other decorations which were conferred upon M. Pasteur during his lifetime. The members of the family watch mourning by the bedside. The body of M. Pasteur will probably be embalmed to-night. The public will be admitfed to view the remains to-morrow. While the United Press correspondent was in the death-chamber M. Poincare, French Minister of Public Instruction, arrived. His mission was to request the family to allow the Government to give the dead scientist national obsequies and to infer the body in the Pantheon. M, Valery, the hushand of M. Pasteur’s daughter, on be- hali of the family, deferred an acceptance of these offers until M. Octave Gerard, M Pasteur’s executor and colleague in the academy, reads the will of the dead man to the assembled family to-night. Never- theless, it is already settled that the body will be exposed in the library of the Pas- teur Institute. It is understood that the family desires to have the interment in the garden of the Pasteur Institute and will request the Government that this be done. ONDON, Ene., Sept. 29.—A dispatch from Paris to a news ngech says_it has been decided to inter the body of M. Pas- teur in the garden of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, in accordance with the wishes of his family, After services in Notre Dame Cathedral the body will be placea temporarily in a vault at Montmartre. pop bR RECEPTION AT THE VATICAN. Given by the Pope as an Offset to the Na- tional Feles. ROME, Iravy, Sept. 20.—Six hundred delegates from various republican societies with flags and bands of music marched to the Cavitol this evening to do honor to the memory of the Italian patriot, Guiseppe Mazzini. Signor Taroni, the radical mem- ber of the Chamber of Deputies, delivered an oration. The Pope held a brilliant reception to- day as an offset to the national fetes. There was a very large attendance. The Pope, addressing the assemblage, declared that it was impossible to speak of a recon- ciliation with Ttaly until the rights of the church had been restored. A it B Forged Postoffice Orders. - OMAHA, Ngsr., Sept. 29.—Postmaster Simmons of Bell, Crawford County, Iowa., was arrested at Nebraska City to-day for inpinf forged postoffice orders. He had swindled several ru-t.ias in this way. He confessed his guilt, and was on his way to South America when arrested. e Governor Morrill Very IIL. HIAWATHA, Kans,, Sept. 20.—Gover- nor Morrill is very ill and his family entertain grave fears. He is 70 years old and the disease in consequence has a greater hold upon him. The Governor came home from Topeka last Wednesday on orders from his physicians. DODGING A CONTRACT, An Official Inquiry Into Huntington’s Latest Scheme. MUST RUN ITS TRAINS. The. Southern Pacific Cannot Abridge the Ogden Service. HELD BY AN AGREEMENT. Plan of the Octopus to Cripple the Unlon Paclific Likely to Fail. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 29.—Law officers of the Government are interested in a rumor which was printed last week to the effect that the Southern Pacific Rail- road Company had notified the Union Pacific Railroad Company thatafter November it would refuse to run trains from Ogden to the Pacific Coast in connec- tion with the Union Pacific trains, thus practically shurtting out the latter from Pacific Coast business. No official intima- tion to this effect has reached either the Department of Justice or the Inter-State Commerce Commission, but the matter is under inquiry by the officials of both divisions of the Government. No expression of opihion regarding the possibilities of the case will be made by either department, in view of the fact that it may come before them for action. All that they will say is, in the language of Arttorney-General Harmon, that “all the rights of the Government, whatever they are, will be fully protected.”” A judicial decision has recently been made respecting the obligations resting upon a raiiroad company to establish and maintain “running connections’ with an- other, and it is of interest in this connec- tion. The Oregon Short Line and Utah North- ern Railroad Company brought suit against the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to compel it to accept at Portland from the Short Line in the latter’s cars freight des- tined for Puget Sound ports, advance to the delivering company the amount of freight charges due it, and collect the whole transportation charges from the consignee at destination. The order was asked by the Short Line Company on the ground that it was a “running connection,” sanctioned by custom among railroads, and was required not only by the terms of the charter of the Northern Pacific Company, but by the interstate commerce act as well. Judge Field of the Supreme Court on circnit, refused to issued the order, Judge Deady of the District Court dissenting. On appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals, the action of Judge Field was sustained in an opinion rendered by Judge McKenna. Adopting the definition used by Judge Field, the Court of Appeals said “The running connection which must be permitted by the defendant isnots run- ning over its line, but only in connection with it—a provision intended to secure the transportation and exchange of freight between connecting lines, and not the use of each other’s roads by the cars of such companies. * * ¥ ““We are of the opinion that a running connection of one road with another, with- in the meaning of the defendant’s charter, only includes such arrangements as to the time of arrival and departure of trains, and as to stations, platforms and other facilities as will enable companies desiring to connect to do so without detrimlent or serious inconvenience. “The Interstate Commerce!Commission, according to the statement of Secretary Moseley, came to the conclusion, over the dissent of Oommissioner Morrison, that under the law it had no power to compel the establishment and maintenance of through rates by the co-operation of cer- tain railroads. There is, however, a provision in the act granting & charter to the Union Pacific Railroad Company and a land grant to the Central Pacific Railroad Com- pany, which it is believed e¢an be invoked to prevent the Southern Pa- cific Company from carrying out its reported intention of breaking off con- nection with the Union Pacific at Ogaen, reducing it to the level of a purely local line and depriving it of the power to meet its obligations to the Government as re- gards its bonded debt. Section 12 reads in part: ** ‘The track upon the entire line of rail- road and branches shall be of uniform width (the gauge was afterward fixea by actof Congress) so that when completed cars can be run from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. * * * “*The whole line of said railroad and branches and telegraph shall be operated and used for all purposes of communica- tion, travel and transportation, so far as the public and Government are concerned, as one connected continuous line.’ “The assent of the various corporations named in the act, including the Central Pacific of California (now leased to and overated by the Southern Pacific), to its provisions are on file in the Department of the Interior.” L LR SOUTHERN PACIFIC CHANGES.

WHEELS AT HEALDSBURG. The Last Race Mect of the Season Proved @ Big Success. HEALDSBURG, Car., Sept. 29. -This was a great day for Healdsburg wheelmen. It was the date set for the lastrace meet of the season of 1895, and by noon the hotels were overflowing with visiting bicyclists. Great preperations were made for the afternoon’s sport, and the 1200 peo- ple who viewed the races were not disap- pointed.

The surprise of the day came when Del- venthal, a novice at riding, went a half mile in 1:08, and did it easily. The first race, & quarter-mile dash, had nine men looking west. It was a pretty race, won by Bond, with Wilcox a close second, in 81 seconds. The second race, a half-mile handicap, had five starters, and was won by Starks, with Delventhal, who was a scratch man, second, in 1:08.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 29.—In sporting circles to-night it is reported that Corbett and Fitzsimmons have been notified that the fight is off and the Florida Athletic Club has withdrawn the prize money. Both men have been asked if they will en- ter the ring either October 7 or 10 at Dallas. This move, it is said, is for the purpose of thwarting the Governor. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 28.—A special from Dallas, Tex., says that the Florida Athletic Club and its friends will make an appeal to the lawmakers of the Twenty- fourth Legislature not to pass a bill with an emergency clause attached prohibiting pugilistic exhibitions. A bill without an emergency clause would not take effect until January 1, 1896. ° The club will show that it made an in- vestment of $70,000 in good faith, and made contracts which must be met, when there was no law to interfere with the enterprise. It will take 21 of 81 votes in the Senate and 36 of 128 in the House to pass the bill with the emergency clause. Citizens of that city are hopeful that the Governor willnot be able to secure the necessary two-thirds. P s SAN JOSE SHOOTING MATCH. Olympics Defeated by the Garden City Cyecters’ Club.
