THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1895. 9 INOTHER STEP TOWARD HIGHER FREIGHTS The Panama Line to Aban-| don All Northern | Business. PLAYING FOR A TRUCE. Its Object Believed to Be Appease Two Powerful Recalcitrants. | to| THE DISTURBING ELEMENTS.| For Three Years They Have Been the Great quthern and Canadian Pacific. i As a direct result of the recent contract | entered into by the Pacific Mail Steamship | Company and the Panama Railroad Com- | vany, the latter has been compelled, by reason of the newly created conditions re- sulting from this agreement, to withdraw from the carrying trade toand from points | on this side of the continent rorth of San | Francisco, though their withdrawal \\'ill{ not be felt by the points most interested | until the 30th inst. | Formal notice, however, it is learned from a firm interested in shipments to the | north, has been given to all shippers and consignees interested that on and after the | date mentioned all rates are canceled via the Panama Railroad and its connections, the Panama Steamship line and the Co- | lumbian line, from New York to Portland | and Astoria, Or., Vancouver and Victoria, | B. €., Port Townsend, Seattle, Tacoma, rett, Anacortes and New Whatcom, Wash. G Previous to the new arrangements these points were reached by the tranship- ment of freight at this port tothe steamers | of the Pacific Coast Steamship Compsny | or those of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company. The reason assigned for the abandon- | ment of this territory by the Panama | people is that under the new arrangement the freigiit is carried’ from Panama to this | ort on the steamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which is not in a position to accommodate business for North Pacific points. | natural result of this move will be | to leave the field for through business from New York to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia to the Canadian Pa- c, the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and other transcontinental lines and those forming a link in a transconti- nental system. . | A peculiar significance attaches to this procedure in view of the strained relations that have existed between the Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern roads on one side and the other transcontinental roads on the other, ever since the disrup- tion of the Transcontinental Association These two northern roads have ways claimed thatowing to the disad- | s they were under in reaching San o they were entitled to certain def- Is, but these claims have hereto-‘] fore not been allowed. | As a consequence, for the past three | years the principal transcontinental lines of the United States have been subjected to the keenest competition, not only from the Panama people via the Panama route, but from these two great railroads on the | north. . | Every attempt heretofore to patch upa | truce with the railroads on the north | proved futile, due largely to the unsatis- | factory conditions that were created by | the Panama competitor. With the Pan- | ama people no longer an element of dis- | turbance, the problem has been simplified,: | and it is believed that the withdrawal of | the Panama line frem the North Pacific | field is the next step toward bringing the i two recalcitrant lines into more amicable | relations with the other great transconti- nental transportation companies. It is known that negotiations to this | end have been on foot for some time and | that they are now being pressed with | greater vigor than ever with indications of | ultimate success. 1t has been stated that the Panama-Pa- cific Mail entente cordial would result in an advance of rates by the new combina- | tion and also by the Southern Pacific Company and other lines interested in through freight business. But it will be found impracticable for this to come about until the extreme northern competing and beliigerent lines are placated. Any reduc- | tions made under the present conditions would simply force business to the two northern roads and tend to make tie schedules of their competitors largely orna- mental. Until, therefore, news is received of the formation of another transcontinental as- sociation, including the Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific in its member- | ship, it-is not probable that there will be | any advance in overland freights. Now that the Pacific Mail Steamship | Company has withdrawn its steamers from the New York-Colon route, the three vessels of the Columbian line are hardly able to handle all the business being of- i fered at New York for through and inter- | mediate points, and it is reported that within sixty days it will puton an addi- | tional steamer.” It is also on the cards that the Pacific Mail will augment its | Panama-San Francisco fleet with the City of Para or the Columbia, or perhaps both. | LABOR IN THE PARK. The Eight-Hour Law Said to Be Vio- lated in the People’s Pleasure- Ground—Carpenters Debate. meeting of the Carpenters ' Union No. 22 was held last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall, but reports for the past year were reser\'cd_ until the union convenes again. The union Was or- ganized June 29, 1882, and with periods 9( reverses and successes has continued in | existence until at last night’s meeting its membership was 760 out of a total of 1500 union carpenters in San Francisco. It was reported that the eight-hour law had been violated in Golden Gate Park. The anion sought to secure employment for one of its members in the park on buildings in course of construction near the new music concourse and accidentally learned that mechanics and laborers in the people’s pleasure-ground were work- ing nine hours a day in violation of the State l]aw. The Labor Commissioner was notified yesterday and he promised to in- vestigate the complaint. A debate was commenced last night be- forc the large number of union carpenters who attended the meeting. C. F. Btradd, president of the District Council and a member of union 483, took the negative, | estate Mr. while C. L. Malsbury of union 22 argued in the affirmative, the subject of discassion being “*Whether Labor Unions as Now Conducted Are a Success.” This was the first of a series of debates intended to make the meetings attractive to members, and instructive as well, and the outcome, it is expected, may be a cleaner knowledge of how to treat the labor problem. - NO REVOLUTION. Consul Calderon Receives a Cable From President Gutierrez Denying Such a Statement. The Examiner on Thursday printed a dispatch with the date line, “Salvador, December 25,” in which an account was given of an alleged bloody uprising of Salvadoran troops against the Govern- ment. According to the story the garri- son at “Sonsohate” revolted because of the treatment of Colonel Rivera, and while drilling broke into a mutiny, and with cries of ‘‘Viva Ja revolution” and “Viva la libertad,” overpowered their offi- cers, stood them up in a line and shot twenty-five of them, including Colonel River: Dr. Eustorjio Calderon of 526 Sutter street, the resident Consul of Salvador, was rendered quite anxious by the story and at once sent the following cablegram to President Gutierrez: Ha habido pronunciamiento en Sonsonate? Prensa de aqui publica eso. E. CALDEROXN. Translated freely this reads: ‘Has there been a revolution in Sonsonate? The press of this City print that there has. E. Calderon.” Late yesterday afternoon the following reply was received: SAN SALVADOR, Dec. 27, 1895. Prieto Alvarez, San Francisco: Todo tranquilo. (All quiet). GUTIERREZ, MILLIONAIRE HITCHCOCK. One of the Noted California Pio- neers Near Death in This City. He Invested His Profits in Many Great Ranches, and in Bank and Railroad Stocks. Hollis Hitcheock one of the best-known and wealthiest pioneers of California, is Iying near death at Dr. L. C. Lane’s hos- pital, corner of Clay and Webster streets, in this City It was thought last night that he would not live till morning. Mr. Hitchcock’s disease is kidney trouble combined with muscular rheumatism. He is now 75 years old. His nephew, Ben. F. Hifchcock of Salinas, who is at the | Russ House, has been carefully tending the old gentleman during the past few days. Hitchcock the elder came to California from Eastern Canada in 18; He soon became a successful man of affairs. He began buying and driving beef cattle to various gold camps. There was a big de- mand for beef at kigh prices in those days, and Mr. Hitchcock made a great deal of money. As fast as the money was made he in- vested in other things, but principally in and. He haa a penchant for buying fine | farms, and some of the best in the State are now his property. He owns some of the most valuable prop- erty in Monterey County. He also became possessor of the old Sam Potter ranch, and also of the Watson ranch, in Sonoma County. Besides these he purchased large areas of land in Solano and other counties. He owns also at the present time 3000 acres on Grizzly Island, in the Sacramento River. He also is the possessor of Jand elsewhere, But these dre only a few of the frugal old pioneer’s possessions. He owns stock in no less than five banks, and is said to have $100,000 worth of stock in the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. He kept up his cattle-buying for many years, while investing in various enter- prisi He also entered extensively into the business of raising cattle. He owned three or four cattle ranches in Sonoma, others in Sacramento, and yet others else- where in Cahifornia. Years ago he bought lands in Fresno. In general he has bought land and has had advantage of a heavy increase in values. Even at the present low prices of real Hitchcock is believed to be easily worth $1.000,000. He has property scattered everywhere and those who know him best do not know all he has. Mr. Hitchcock never married. For some years he has resided at Healdsburg, but he ived periodically for a short time at or near his ranches in the several counties. In this City he has for many years lived at the Russ House. He is widely known, especially among the old Californians. JOE JOHNSON 15 CAUGHT Sent Lottery Tickets Through the Mails to a Postal Inspector. |If He Says the Tickets Were Coun- terfeits Another Charge Will Confront Him. Joe Johnson is again in the toils. Some time ago he was arrested by the police for counterfeiting lottery tickets and selling his “goods.”” He then gave the name of Thomas Upson, and was arrested and sen- tenced to six months’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of several hundred dollars. He took an appeal, and while enjoying his liberty on $2000 bail was up to his old haupts and tricks. Last night Johnson was arrested by Postal Inspector Erwin and Deputy United States Marshal Moncton for un- lawfully using the mails in his questiona- ble lotiery business. They had learned that he was to be at the Orpheum to keep an appointment he had made with a woman with whom he was living at 127 Fourth street. Just as the programme was about to begin Johnson put in anappear- ance. He was lodged in the Broadway Jail in default of the $1500 bail which had already been fixed by United States Com- missioner Heacock. It was in October last that Mr. Erwin first began to decoy Johnson into such acts as would show that he did not scruple at using the mails in violation of the postal laws. On October 20 Mr. Erwin wrote a letter to Johnson asking him what figures he would sell Honduras lottery tickets for. Mr. Erwin pretended to ie one ‘I Schwartz,” a cigar-dealer of ‘‘Reno, Ne- vada,” and used for his letterhead a rubber stamp purporting to be the business imprint of Mr. Schwartz. Evidently Johnson, whose place of busi- ness was then at 412 Kearny stréet, thought he bad a good customer and that “Schwartz” would prove a profitable retailer of his lottery tickets. He replied he could let his correspondent have Hon- duras tickets at 70 cents on the dollar, which is said to be Zwice the discount the regular dealers themselves enjoy. Mr. Erwin sent $7 and secured by the return mail ten bright green tickets, which he still has in his possession. ¥ The detective of the mails let matters rest for a while, but in December he struck up another correspondence with Johnson, still as “I. Schwartz of Reno,” and sent $7 more, by money order, with an inquiry as to what Little Louisiana lottery-tickets could be obtained for. Johnson answered that he could sell Lattle Louisiana for 65 cents on the dollar, and suggested that if +Schwartz” would send $10 more he would mail to him either forty-four Little Louisi- ana tickets and ten Honduras, or eighty- eight Little Louisiana, whichever “Schwartz’’ might prefer, but he did not send any tickets for the second $7 he bad received from Mr. Erwin. His reason for not inclosing any tickets was that Mr, Erwin’s second letter was not received until December 12 and the drawing would occur just about the time tire tickets would be taken from the Nevada postoffice by *‘Schwartz."” Again Mr. Erwin communicated as the impersonation of the fictitious ‘Schwartz,” and this time under date of December 18. He inquired why Johnson had not sent the Honduras tickets already paid for. Johnson wrote a third letter, in which he naively hinted that if Schwartz would send §65 additional he could get 100 Hon- duras tickets for the money. This was enough for Mr. Erwin. The oflicer saw that all he had todo was to arrest the man, as he had him foul in two ways. S I Johnson sets up the pleathat the tick- ets he sent were counterfeits Mr. Erwin will prosecute him under the same law for using the mails for fraudulent purposes. On the other hand if the tickets are genuine Johnson's offense was in sending them through the mails. He has John- son’s signatures on the receipt cards for two registered letters ana also_his signa- ture on a money order which Mr. Erwin had procured from the Reno postoffice to make his decoy all the more successful. L e e CONVE_IETION OF TRADES. The Labor Unions of the City to Meet in February. The Trades Council met last night at 1159 Mission street. The various trades unions represented reported that they found business quite satisfactory, and the union members were pretty nearly all employed. It was a sat- isfactory resume of the situation in several labor circles that those delegates made. An invitation presented by a committee, asking that representatives of iabor attend a convention of trades and labor organiza- tions at 1159 Mission street February 14, at 7:30 p. M., was discussed and accepted by the council. 5 The object is to have a full and free dis- cussion of all matters pertaining to the labor movement on that occasion. Repre- sentation will be based upon one delegate for each charter and one for the first 100 members or majority fraction thereof. This convention had come to be regarded as a matter of necessity, because, as the | committee represented in its report, there had been a *‘regrettable lack of public in- terest by the organized workers of San Francisco in matters pertaining to the labor and reform movement.” The con- vention will be held, however, and an effort made to arouse enthusiesm in the cause of labor in 8an Francisco. FOR DEMPSEY'S WIDOW, Proceeds of Her Benefit Will Amount to Nearly $2600. The “Nonpareil’s Friends Turned Out Last Night to Swell the Fund for His Family. The widow of Jack Dempsey, the Nonpa- riel prize-fighter of the world, will receive something in the neighborhood of $2600 from the benefit tendered her by the friends of her late husband. The People’s Palace, where the entertainment was held last night, was packed to the doors, and all the seats were sold on a cash basis. Promptly at 8:30, after some selections by the Letter-carriers’ band, the entertain- ment began and was followed by the glove contests. Such well-known fighters as Charles Turner of Stockton, J. Choynski, Henry Peppers, Spider Kelly, Billy Smith, Tom Sharkey, Young Mitchell, Gus Her- got, J. Maroney, Frank La Fell, Billy Cook, Dal Hawkins, George Green, James O'Neill. Joe' King, Alexander Greggins and Deacon Jones came before the aud- ience and exhibited their prowess with the gloves. An gspecially interesting feature was the six-round contest for points between J. Francisco, both in the feather-weight class. Young Mitchell presided as referee, and after the first five rounds, which, he raid, were equal, finally bestowed the prize upon Lawler. Billy Armstrong and Jimmie Whelan, in another six-round go, finished the evening and made it very lively for those who take an interest in such things. It was a hard rattle, for boxing men love fighting, and some violent jolts were re- ceived by both men. Altogether the whole affair was one of the best conducted entertainments ever arranged for a San Francisco audience. It was particularly orderly, and CIiff Phillips, who donated his theater for the occasion, saw to 1t that his employes kept perfect ocder and everybody who was entitled to a seat got one. The gentlemen who had charge of the preliminary and concluding arrangements were all personal friends of the deceased, and, like all Westerners, ‘are true to him still. The committees were made up of the following gentlemen: Colonel L. G. Flanagan, chairman; John L. Mitchell, vice-chairman; J. J. Jamison, secre- tary; G. K. Liddle, assistant secretary; James Gilleran, treasurer, Executive committee—James Gilleran, J. C. Nealon, J. T. Sullivan, J. J. Groom, Rome Har- Tis, C. F. Curry. Finance committee—P. F.

Charles Templine Drives His Wife and Children From Home. Mrs. Charles Templine, 2306 Post street, has procured a warrant for the arrest of her husband on a charge of making threats against her life. “For over two years,” she said yes- terday, ‘I have slaved for that man and to get food and clothing for my three little children. He is a drinking man and during our married life has continually abused me. Christmas day he came home intoxicated and made an attempt to beat me. He then demolished the furniture and ended up with driving me and two of the children from home. The baby he still bas and T am not allowed to see it. Ihave borne his ill treatment us long as I could.”’ Lawler of Oakland and J. Reilly of San. A DAY FOR OUTSIDERS, Hy Dy at 25 to 1 and Roma at 30 to 1 Were- Big Surprises. THERESIA WAS FORTUNATE. Semper Lex Was Played for a “Moral” | and Finished Second—Walter J Ran Unplaced. Racing, with all its tortuous twists and curves, was amply demonstratéd at the Bay District track yesterday. Many of the superstitious who imagined that an evil spirit was hovering over them at Ingle- side track and were clamoring for a _—_——m,————_—_—,—e—,—,——— change, find that the lot. of the racetrack devotee is indeea a hard one on any course. The track was still very heavy, the sun’s rays having had but slight effect on the clayey mud. Next the rail there was a beaten path, and the horse that gained this pathway in most instances won the purse. Earl Cochran on the 25 to 1 shot Hy Dy tried it and won handily, and Roma, the rank 30 to 1 outsider in the handicap, traveled over it and beat the 3 to 5 favorite Semper Lex in a gallop. Of the six first choices intrusted with the bulk of the coin, Theresia and imp. Star Ruby were the only ones that were returned winners. The t‘)ipening five-furlong dash for two- year-olds resulted disastrously for backers of the favorite. Walter J was sent out a 2tol choice, and failed to even show. The 8 to 1 chance, Una Que Arno, led all the way and won easily from Leon L, with Pearson in the show. Barney Schreiber’s filly, Theresia, was made a 2 to 1 choice for the next event, a seven-furlong run, with light welter- weights up. and favored by a fortunate circumstance managed to “win.

The third race, over a mile, with ten starters, resulted in a big surprise. Monita and Mary 8 carried nearly all of the coin, the former ruling a slight choice over the mare.

Long odds were laid against the other five starters. Alvarado went out with a fine burst of speed, showing the way to the stretch, where he began to tire. McLight now had the lead, but the favor- ite managed to get through next the rail and passed the wire eased up, a length in front of Vinctor, who beat McLight a length for the place. . The biggest dump of the day occurred in the mile handicap. Opening at even money Semper Lex was backed down to 3 t0 5, the wise ones looking upon the chest- nut horse as a “moral.”’ Strathmeath was a sort of sluggish second choice. There was nothing to the race from the-jump but Roma. Bob Isom ‘took the 30 to 1 chance outin front and running under restraint the entire distance won as he liked from the first choice. Strathmeath wasan in- different third. There was more trouble in store for the last eventof the day, a five-furlong spin for two-year-olds. Salisbury II was well played at 4 to 5, but Fireman, a 4 to 1 chance, secured the path and beat the favorite out six lengths. Track and Paddock Items. By Holly was one of the shrewd players that thought Semper Lex had struck easy game. Tod Sloan, who rode Una Que Amo in the opening race, spoiled one pretty start. Starter Ferguson taxed him $50 for it. It looks very much as though the J affixed to the name of the unfortunate colt Walter J, stood for Jonah. His owners thought him a “lead pipe” yesterday, and he finished in the ruck. ‘Wildidle, the noted race horse and sire, died at Naylee Burke’s place at San Jose on Thursday night of rheumatism. He was a handsome bay horse, standing six- teen hands high, with white star in fore- head and one white nind foot. His sire was imp. Australiad and his dam tae great race mare Idlewild, by Lex- ington, oncc queen of the American turf. Foaled in 1870 at the breeding establish- | ment of R. A. Alexander, near Lexington, | Ky., the great horse was consequently 25 vears old at the time of his death. During his career on the turf he won at all dis- tances from one mile up to four miles, de- feating the best horses of the East and West, and in 1875 at the Bay District track added the Wise plate to his credit, In the stud he was a great success.. Among the most noted of his get were Flambeau, Jim Douglas, Sinfax, Flirtation, Nomad, Wild- wood, May D, Ella Doane, Neilsen and Alfaretta. He was purchased some months ago by Mr. Burke, who is well known as the owner of the good colt Crescendo, at the disposal sale of ‘the horses owned by the late H. C. Judson. As a finale to the day’s sport, the one- act melodrama of “The Rivals’’ was en- acted in the betting-ring, with Plunger Charley Quinn and footracer Jim Ryan as- suming the two leading character parts, ably assistad by Jim Quinn, who was seen- to advantage as the heavy man. The usual corps of auxiliaries were seen in the cast, comprising bookmakers, touts, citizens, hot sausage vendors and guardians of the peace. After a somewhat heated argu- ment between the two first-named actors, everything was toallspgenrnnces amicabl; arranged, when, with a blood-curdling vell, the heavy man leaped from the third story of a bookmaker’s stand and with upraised pistol attempted the time-worn chestnut of breaking a walnut on the head of actor Ryan. At this Mr. Ryan became enraged and was about to turn and disfigure the countenance of the gentlemen from the blue-grass region, when bystanders closed in, and some one yelling ‘“‘cop,” the cur- tain was rung down on the act. Both gen- tlemen were seen at their hotels last even- ing, and the play has likely seen its last production. GREAT RIVERS OF THE WORLD. The Yang-tse-Kiang River of Chira is 3000 miles long and navigable for good- sized vessels for more than two-thirds of that distance. The Hoangho or Yellow River of China is 2800 miles in length and drains a terri- torv equal to one-third the area of the United States. The Volga is the great river of Russia, having a length of 2800 miles and draining nearly one-half of the European dominions of the Czar. The Euphrates is 1780 miles in iength. Most of its lower course is through asandy desert, and for several hudred miles it has no tributaries. The San Francisco, a river of Brazil, is 1400 miles in length and was so called be- cause it was discovered on the feast day of St. Francis. The ancient historians say that over 1000 miles of the Lower Nile were protected h{ artificial embankmentsand other works of engineering skill. The Danube flows through countries in which fifty-two langunages and dialects are spoken. It is 2000 miles in length, and bears on its current four-fifths of the com- merce of Eastern Europe. ‘Ihe rivers of the Emerald Isle have gene erally a dark color, owing to the fact that most of them, at some point in their course, flow through peat marshes or beds, which impart a dark hue to the water. The Rio Grande del Norte, between Texas and Mexico, is 1800 miles long, but in mnn{enlaces during a dry season can easily forded by footmen. The Rio Grande de Santiago of Mexico is1250 miles in length. The Brahmapootra, from whose banks came the fowls that were so popular in this country a number of years ago, is 1500 miles in length. It issaid that every va- riety of precious stones has been found in the sand of its bed. The Po, in North Italy, is 360 miles in length. The deposits at its mouth have caused the coast to gain upon the sea so rapidly that a point which in the time of Augustus was a seaport is now eighteen miles from the Adriatic. NEW TO-DAY. B oy Do You Want MANHOOD? Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt “MAKES PEOPLE STRONG.” A strong man who is vigorous in muscular power is the envy of his fellow-man. men.
