Considers the Colorado Decision a Victory for the Railroads. APPEAL TO COURTS POSSIBLE. Chief Counsel Herrin's Opinion of the Decision of the Interstate Commission. It is poss ble that the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company vs. the Southern Pacific Com- pany et al., may lead to a legal contest of even greater megnitude and interest than that which is now pending in the United States Circuit Court of this v between the Southern Pacific Company, the Fed- eral Government and the California Rail- road Commission. The digest of the decision of the Federal Comm on, as received in this City, i rite clear as to its full viewed, however, it is believed n that all freight rates between Cali- fornia and Colorado wpoints been ed to be fixed so as not to exceed 75 cent of the through rate. This would 1esn a reduction of 10 to 40 per cent on ng rates, and the decision, in conse- ce, was taken to indicate a blow at ne Southeyn Pacific and its connections into Colorad e In an interview yesterday with J. C. Stu 1 traffic manager of the Southe fic, it was intimated thata decision per; ng of a general reduction of rates between Colorado and California points was just what the Southern Pacific | ded it did not Ty with it proportionate reduc on intermediate ness. In fact Mr. Stubbs’ explanation the situation allowed it to be inferred that the case in question was in reality a test to ascertain whether or not the Inter- state Commerce Commissign would be in- duced to set aside the long and short haut clause of the interstate commerce act so as to permit of an extension of the com- mercial relations betwveen California and Colorado. Exactly w advantages the Soutl to secure Mr. Stubbs ¢ did go en record by stating emphatic: tif the decision proved to be unsat factory to the Southern Pacific it would attackea by resort to the Federal courts. He spoke as follows: Inthe first place this has been heralded as & defeat for the pern Pacific, but this we don’ t know ti sion of the col y y may have ordered nothing.

Metropolitan Hall was comfortably filled last night at Dr. Gustave Eisen's fascinating lecture, “Rambles in Lower California and Mexico.” Professor Eisen is nothing if not a sciensist, hence his address abounded in statistics of his inves- tigations into the natural phenomena of the countries referred to; still there was much of general interest, and the applause was frequent and enthusiatic. The lecture was illustrated by a series of graphic stereopticon views. These were taken with a simple kodak, under many difficulties, the films sometimes remainin, for months without being developed, an that in districts where the most intense heat prevailed. Still they were as clear, and without exception interesting, especi- ally those which protrayed some of the prehistoric ruins near Tepic. During a brief intermission D. M. Law- rence, the well-known tenor, gave a most artistic rendering of Dana’s song, “Among the Lilies,” and after a prolonged recall in favored the audience, his second on being Pinsuti’'s “Queen of the Earth,” during jwhich he took and held the tenor C with the pure chest tone.

A Revenue Cutter Sent Out After the Schooner by the Collector of the Port. Collector of the Port John H. Wise, hav- ing been informed that a schooner called the Henrietta had left Victoria, B. C., on Nov ber 8 with a cargo of opium pre- { sumably for La Paz, Mex., and that she would probably attempt to land several Chinese on the shore of this country, re- cently sent out the revenne cutter Perry to | watch her movements. So far the Perr; has not returned with any report just ing the suspicion. It turns out that the Hawaiian Consul in this City, Hon. Charles T. Wilder, acting | in theinterest of his Government, reported | the vessel's departure from the British Co- | lumbian port to Collector Wise, because had a double mission—one to land Chinese {in the United States and the otherto | smuggle opium into Hawa As the Col- | lector is very zealous in his vigilance as to | the Chinese he fell nicely into the scheme | and sent the revenue cutter out. | Mr. Wilder knew that twenty-two cases { of opium, between 40,000 and 50,000 pounds | ofthe drug, 1t 1s saia, though this seemsa | fearfully exaggerated estimate to Amer- {icans, had been consigned to R.

The drug sent to V he accumu- ition of a large number of seizures, great and small, and as there were only two al- ternatives—either to destroy it by burning | or to sell it to dealers in other countries—a ale was made to the Victoria parties. | hteen of the cases were consigned to R. P. Rithet & Co. and four to a dealer named Joslyn. 1p the entire lot. It was easier for the ernment to dispose of it in Victoria, e it could be placed in bond there, effort was made to sell it here, but ( bec; An American ports immediately upon arrival. The duty here is $6 per pound. When the Henrietta cleared from Vie- toria assurance was given that the drug was to be taken to La Paz, but as there is practically no market for opium in Mexico Mr. Wilder naturally supposed the inten- tion of the vessel was to smuggle the drug hack into Honolulu, where it commands a ready price of $40 a pound, just at pre:ent, | from the illicit buyers. | The Henrietta will have to return land- ng certificates to the FBritish Columbia | Custom-hous: | 12 et La Pa How she will be able to get around this remains to be seen. The opium smuggled into Hawaii usu- | ally comes from Hongkong, though there has been an attemptto make it appear that California parties are interested. This is denied by an attorney who is well posted, he says, on the movements of opium-dealers. ALASEA'S SEA BOARD. Interesting Paper by Captain Hooper Read Before the Geographical Society. A large audience assembled in the Y. M. C. A. lecture hall last night to hear a most interesting paper Captain C. L. Hooper on *The Bering Sea and Alaskan Notes.”” Owing to Captain Hooper's ab- sence in Port Townsend the paper was read by Professor George Davidson. The | occasion was the regular meeting of the | Geographical Society of the Pacific, but | owing to the interesting nature of the sub- ject under consideration many who were not members of the society were present. Among other matters of special import- ance the paper dwelt at length on the cur- rents in the Bering Sea and North Pacitic Ocean. He traced the course of the Japanese current which, flowing north- { ward from the Japanese archipelago, | leaves the eastern coast of Siberia without affecting its temperature; while, as it strik «Eiremlyng,\insz the west coast of Alaska, it tends to render the climate of | that seaboard much milder than that of the Asiatic coast in the corresponding latitude. Another fact not generally known is the presence in Alaska of large numbers of active volcanoes. The paper states that from the coast the writer noticed forty- seven volcanoes in a state of eruption, be- sides many others in a quiescent state. Much information regarding oceanic currents was also given, which will be embodied later in charts for th idance of mariners. At the conclusion of the reading a vote of thanks was tendered Captain Hooper for his instructive paper. | : It isunderstood that Professor Davidson [ h as in preparation an exhaustive paper on the success which attended the introduc- tion of the reindeer into Alaska five years ago. AN EXPENSIVE SUPPER. Kalman Wanted for Defrauding an Innkeeper. W. C. Kramer, proprietor of the Califor- nia House, served out a warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday for the arrest of L. Kalman on the charge of defrauding an innkeeper. Kramer avers that Jast Saturday night Kalman went to the California House and_introduced him- self as the agent for the Verbblesco Cham- pagne Company and as he appeared to be aman of means Kramer supplied him with all the wine and food ordered, which amounted to $25. Kalman promised to return nextday and liquidate the debt, but had failed to put in an appearance. —— IF you want bargains in books inspect the lot being closed out for storage charges at 747 Market street. d L.

Verdict of the Jury in the United States District Court. NOT QUITE FOUR HOURS OUT. His Wife, Stepdaughter and Son Re. ceived the Announcement With Tears of Joy. Martin D. Howell of Stockton was ac- quitted last evening in the United States District Court of the charge of having in his possession and passing counterfeit money. The jury retired about 5:15 ». . and shortly before 9 o’clock returned to the courtroom with the verdict. It read: We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty; and $o say we all. Howell and his wife and stepdaughter, M. D. and the remaining fifteen pennies are thieir own. But the boys declare they intend to save those fifteen cents and not spend one nickel in riotous luxuries. The living at the honre is excellent, *‘for our boys work hard and need good food,” says Mrs. J. R. Smedberg, the lady who has donated her services to make the home a success. The rooms are bright and cheerfut and the little fellows have a com- fortable parlor to spend their evenings in. Very soon it is expected the institution will be self-supporting, but in the mean- time there is the rent to pay and it is pro- posed to raise this by asking sixty-five gentlemen to donate $1 a month each. The woman’s auxiliary also issues an axpenl for more beds and “bedding, but all the assistance asked for is only till the home gets on its feet, so to speak. —————————— THE GRANGERS' BANK. State Commissioners Say That All De- positors Will Be Paid. Bank Commissioners Kilburn and Fulier spent the entire day yesterday looking into the affairs of the Grangers' Bank. As their work was incomplete they were unable to make a definite statementasto the condition of the bank’s finances and sure- ties. After listing the country real estate securities the Commissioners will send to the various county assessors and get de- scriptions, so as fo ascertain the values of ade. The overdrafts, receipted bills and liabilities were also looked into. When the Commissioners closed their HOWELL AS HE APPEARED DURING THE TRIAL. ! Mrs. Edith Green, had held their breath | with suspense before the verdict was announced. Mrs. Howell and Mrs. Green | burst into tears of joy, in which Howell’s | little son, being dandled on his fathers | knee, joined with childish sympathy. It | was a pathetic ending of a case which had | lasted three years, and on which two former | | juries had disagreed. | | Assoon as the verdict was recorded At- torney Joseph C. Campbell arose and asked the court’s pardon, and also that of | the jury and Deputy Marshal Thomas Gal- | lagher for a_remark he made just before the jury retired. | Mr. Campbeil had objected to the jury | going out in charge of either of the sons | of Secret Service Agent Harris or under | the care of Mr. Gallagher, and he told | Judge Morrow he would communicate his | reasons privately to him. Accordingly the jury was placed in charee ot Deputy Marshals Monckton and Moffatt. After it had retired Mr. Campbell told the court that he had beard that Mr. Gallagher had made a remark that two of the jurymen had been *‘bought’” by the deiendant, or | words to that effect. | For awhile it looked as if a contempt | case would develop and Mr. Campbell was | cited by Judee Morrow to appear and ex- | plain. ~ Mr. Campbell could not be found { for awhile after he left the courtroom, but before 8 o’clock he appeared in the corri- | dors of the building with Marshal Bald- | win. Campbell did not let any time be wasted when the verdict was announced, but se- | cured the ear of the court at once and ex- | plained tbat his remark had been made | under misapprehension. As he asked the forgiveness of the court and all concerned in the most graceful manner the Judge graciously granted pardon with a nod and everybody scemed satisfied. Just how the jury stood on the first bal- lot some oi the members would not say, ht to four for acquittal” was not contradicted, and if looks and actions be interpreted this was as good as admitted. { Foreman Dikeman said the jury had stood on any one ballot. | " During the arguments Attorney Camp- | bell made a strong plea for his client and | contrasted severely the manner of Howell | on the stand with Matt Jones and Secret Service Agent Harris when testifying. He did not overlook the peculiar character of the witnesses, F'red Marsh, Charley Mur- { ray, Matt Jones and others, which the Goverament had employed in the prosecu- | tion of Howell. His speech created the impression that he believed Matt Jones to be the real offender. Jones, with his fam- ily, isnow en route to Mexico. | _Mr. Campbell made some strictures upon | Mr. Harris, saying that his acts as a public { ofticer had been questioned in the past, and he specified the “‘Doc” Davenport case in Oregon and named Judge Bellinger of | Portland as one who had criticized Haruis. “That is not true.” Judge Morrow inter- rupted, and the effect of this unexpected contradiction from the bench was electric.

The court’s charge was exhaustive and fair. ARMITAGE HOME. A New Branch of the San Mateo Or- phanage. : Great interest is felt among members of the Episcopal church in the new Armitage Home, which has been opened at 509 Powell street. Itisa branch ot the Armitage orphan- age at San Matco. When the boys reach the age of 14 the State ceases to provide for them, and they generally turn longing eyes toward the City, where they can go out and earn their living like men. Itis to provide a loving happy home for these courageous littie toilers that the home on Powell street has been opened. As soon as a position is found in a store or at some trade for an Armitage boy he comes to the City and takes up his abode at the home instead of being thrown out into the world to battle for himself and live as best he can. The nine boys at present in the home are each earning $3 a week. Two dollars and seventy-five cents of this is paid for board and lodging, for the idea is to make the little feliows sturdy and independent and let them realize dyut they are in no sense objects of charity.

MAY RESORT T0 FORCE, Mayor Sutro Excited Over the Ocean Boulevard Car Tracks. TO B’E PUT ON THE SIDEWALK. Property-Owners Declare That They Will Defend Their Interests at Any Cost. Mayor Sutro has discovered another of what he calls the “‘scandalous tricks of the octopus,” and declares that unless the Southern Pacific Company ceases certain operations that have been designed for the Ocean boulevard he, with other property- owners, will of necessity resort to force to maintain what is justly due them. Where tne Midwinter Fair was first pro- jected the railroad company applied for a franchise for a spur track into the park that it might transport the materials and exhibits for the buildings. Mayor Sutro fought strenuously against any such per- mission being granted, on the grouna that if the company once gained a foothold in the park it would be impossible to dis- lodge it and that the spur track would be- come a permanent institution and not only disfigure and hamper the people’s playground, but render the Ocean boule- vard unfit for the purpose for which it was intended. Now the Mayor says that his prediction has come true and that another tight is on hand that will be as bitter as any yet| waged. | +"This is an outrage which we cannot and | will not stand,”” said the Mayor yesterday. *‘It came to my xnowledge this morning | that a contract had been let to A. E. Buck- | man to move the railroad tracks on the | Ocean boulevard which we have been fight- ing so long and earnestly to have taken up. | Tuey have hampered a driveway which | people of this City, and the Park Commis- sioners, under whose jurisdiction the mat- ter comes, have allowed them to remain despite all opposition. “Now the octopus, for some reason that | does not appear on the surface, has decided side. ~T'he worst feature of the matter is that if Contractor Buckman is allowed to carry out his agreement, the tracks will be laid exactly where the sidewalk should be greatly damaged and the boulevard more than *‘It seems to me that the Park Commis- | sioners must know what the result of such | a contract would be, and that they should | step in and stop the operations before any | damage results. But 1 suppose they sim- ply did as they were toid, and will do | nothing or wait until the railroad accom- | plishes its purpose before making any pre- tense at protesting. | “Yeu can rest assured, however, that| propeity-owners wiil not sit idly by and | see their property ruined. By to-morrow | night we will have full information on this | latest outrage of the grasping corporation, | and will resist its designs by force if neces sary. I do not think that we will be com- | pelled. to resort to that, however, for I| think that a proper representation of the | matter to the courts will give us relief. | “I shall have a consuitation with my | attorneys to-morrow and whatever course they advocate I shall pursue. Tt is scan- dalous that the people of this Citv will al- low the octopus to trample them under foot. Had they made a vigorous protest against the introduction of these tracks | ive precincts. into the park, or forced the railroad com- pany to execute a sufficient bond to re- move them when the debris of the fair was cleared up, all of this trouble might have been avoided. ‘‘As the matter now stands, it will be a long and hard fight before the company is compelled to relinquish its hold on the park, and there is no certainty with the udgs”agamst us that we will win in the end. MARTIN’S CHANCE. The Attorney-General Unfavorably Im- pressed With the Ex-Fire Com- missioner’s Claims. To judge from the remarks of Attorney- General Fitzgerald A.J.Martin, the ex- Fire Commissioner, has but little chance for regaining the place that was taken from him by the appointment of Colin M. Boyd. Several years ago Martin was appointed Fire Commissioner to fill an unexpired term. During the term of Governor Mark- ham J. C. Daly was appointed to succeed Martin, but the latter refused to give up his seat, and after considerable controversy he won his point. ‘When Governor Budd came into office he appointed Boyd and Martin was de- prosed The latter contended that the Governor had no right to take such a course, and he, through his attorneys, appealed to the Attorney-General for per- mission to bring suit in"the name of the people of California to oust Boyd that ne (Martin) might be reinstated. Permission was denied by the Attorney-General. Since the Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the case of M. A. Gunst as Police Commissioner there has been con- siderable talk of Martin 1eopening his case by another application to use the name of the people in an action to regain his seat as Fire Commissioner. The claim is that the Gunst decision applies also to Martin’s case. < 5 . Attorney-General Fitzgerald in discuss- ing the matter said: Two months ago I declined to allow Martin to begin an action in the name of the people to oust Boyd, and I am of the same opinion now thatI was then. In the first place, Mar- tin has not filed a second application, and if he does and does not present a different case from the one presented then I shall again re- fuse my permission. According to hisown showing then he was not entitled to the posi- tion which be had usurped from Mr. Daly. If Daly had made such an application I shounld have granted it. Martin wants to oust Boyd from a seat that he (Martin) had usurped from Daly. When Martin’s attorneys file a new application I will give it a fair and impartial consideration, but if it is based on the same lines as the former I see no reason why I | should change my opinion and grant his application. NEW IMPROVEMENTS. Governor Budd Wants an Electric Plant at the Home for the Feable- Minded. Governor Budd, who returned from Glen Ellen yesterday, stated that he had visited the Home for the Feeble-minded for the purpose of seeing what improve- ments might be made there. He will ad- vocate the supplying of an electric plant to furnish the institution with light and heat, and also pumps for water. He be- lieves that there is a bountiful supply of natural gas in the vicinity that may also be utilized in the home. ———————— Republican Mass-Meeting.
