Terms Upon Which the Drilling and Operating Contracts Are Drawn. THE COMPANY NOW SINKING. Prospects Favorable for Striking a Good Flow at Half- moon Bay. REDWOOD CITY, Caw., Feb. 5—Thir- teen oil and gas grants have just been placed on record, which have been as- igned to the California Natural Gas and il Company, and apply to 2082 acres of land on the coast side of San Mateo County. The contracts are drawn so that the party of the first part grants all the oil and gas in and under the described prem- ises, together with the exclusive right of the second party to enter therein for the purpose of drilling or operating for oil, gas, water, etc., on the following terms: Should oil be found in paying quantities upon the premises the second party agrees to deliver to the first party, in the pipe line or at the wells, the one-sixteenth part of all the oil produced and saved from said premises. 11 gas only is found, second party agrees to pay $10 to $50 each a year for the prod- uct of each well while the same is being used on the premises, and the first party shall have gas free of expense to light and heat the dwellings now on the premises. ‘There is a clause which provides that if no well is completed within one year from date of agreement then the grant shall be- come null and void uniessthe second party shall pay to the first party the sum of ($10 to $100 are the amountsnamed in the pre- sent instance) for each year thereafter that such completion is delayed. These grants were all issued about nine months ago in favor of E. J. Beane, his heirs or assigns, and they have been assigned by Beane to the California Gas, Oiland Land Company, a corporation, of which L. L. James, 419 California street, San Francisco, is secretary. The company is now sinking a well on the San Francisco Savings Union Tract at Halfmoon Bay. It isreported that they aredown 700 feet and that there is a seepage of one and a half barrelsof oil a day and a flow of gas. The prospects of striking a good flow of oil are considered very favorable. THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE A Band of Rough-Looking Crim- inals Before the Bar of Justice.

A Large Audience Present in Metro- politan Hall at the Second Open Meeting. The second opening session of the read- ing circles comprising the Catholic Edu- cational Union was held last evening in Metropolitan Hall. As on the previous evenings the large hall was crowded with an intellectual audience. The various es- | says read by members of the circles were | well received, while the musical part of | the programme was an artistic success. | Incalling the meeting to order, Rev. J. i Byrne of St. Mary’s Cathedral announced | that this was the second open session and | expressed a wish that the people who had attended the first one would bear in mind the work done by the Catholic reading circles. The session was opened with a piano solo by Miss M. E. Coonan, who was cor- dially applauded. i Miss M. Driscoll of Cathedral Circle read an essay on “The Dolores Mission.” She gave a pleasing history of the mission. The benign influence of the Franciscans and their church upon the natives was tola in glowing language, and by way of antithesis the essayist drew a dark picture of ruin and desolation that fell upon the scene when politicians *‘secularized” the | missions of “California. The Franciscan padres, she said, were the true pioneers of San Francisco. A vocal solo by Miss Theresa de Ber- nard: of Faber Circle was given in a voice that called out enthusiastic applause. Miss de Bernardi sang for an encore, “Because I Love You, Dear,” with considerable art. “Dion and the Sibyls,” an essay by Miss Mary T. Lorigan ef Thomas Aquinas Cir- cle, was heard with much interest, for it was a thoughtful literary criticism. Frank McGlynn of Montgomery Circle recited “Thanatopsis,” and the audience compelled him to come out twice again, when he gave two of Eugene Field’s char- acter sketches that made a deep impres- sion. Miss M. Kennedy of Archbishop Rior- dan Circle read a very deep and gracefull written essay on “Development of Engliag Language.” Miss Daisy Keane contributed a pretty ballad. She was well received and gave an encore that received applause. An essay on ‘‘St. Catherine of Sienna” was read by Miss Christina Regan of Montgomery Circle. A vocal solo, “I Fear No Foe,” by 8. J. 8andy of the cathedral choir, captured the audience. Miss Julia C. Coffey of Cathedral Circle read a clever essay on “Idealism and Re- alism in Literature.”” __The essay went into an analysis of the idealist and the materialist and their work, and continuing the speaker said: ‘“‘Catholic women should not be turned hither and thither by the thoughts of this day. They have no reason to follow the fleeting standards of the hour. We have the grandest model the world has ever produced. For us the Madonna is the ideal of perfection. How beautifully she has been honored by the painter, the musician and the writer. We should ap- preciate the true value of the inheritance of noble art, literature and music, which is especially ours, Let us cherish our noble literature.” The conclusion was that the idealist who embodies the high principles of faith, | hope and charity is ever reaching outward along the highways of progress, growth and expansion, ever tendirg the thoughts and inspirations of the human race toward a higher, nobler and grander existence.

TWO POINTS AT ISSUE. Custodians of the People’s Money Must Not Take Common Risks. THE CONSTITUTION IS QUOTED. Taxes Are Levied to Pay Government Expenses, Not for the Benefit of Speculators. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Feb. 5.—The ques- tion of the right of a City Treasurer to make a general deposit of the funds of the city in & banking-house was acted upon by Judge Logan this afternoon in the decision delivered upon overruling the demurrer in the case of Robert Eifey, Mayor, against Charles E. Williams, City Treasurer. The Mayor brought suit to stop the deposits of city money in the City Bank. Thedefend- ant demurred tothe complaint with the view of stopping the proceeding by that legal method, but Judge Logan holds that the complaint 1s at least good enough to stand in court, and the defendant has ten days to answer. The substance of the decision follows: Two questions were presented. First, has the plaintiff legal capacity to sue? Second, does the complaint state facts suf- ficient to constitute a cause of action? Upon the first point it is claimed that the defendant is violating the law appli- cable to such cases in the disposition and safe keeping of the public funds, and I am of the opinion that the Mayor, being charged by the charter with the execution of the laws, has a right to maintain, in his own name, a suit to enforce the Jaw. Upon the second point it is claimed that the defendant is unlawfully depositing the city funds in the City Bank on general depost. A general deposit in a bankisa depost that permits the bank to use the money deposited to pay it out to its cred- itors or to loan it for interest. When the treasurer permits this to be done he parts with the possession of the money, waives the right to regain the same money specifically from the bank, has the same privilege asany other de- positor of drawing on the bank for the amount deposited in any lawful money, takes the same chances as any other de- positor in the solvency of the bank; and, if it fails, to lose the money like any one else. In other words, it is a loan from the city treasurer to the bank, that the bank may profit out of it, as a return for the safe keeping thereof for the treasurer. It is one of the legitimate branches of bank- ing business. A bank prepares itself for the business of taking care of other people’s money, provides vaults for its safe keeping and employes for the transaction of its busi- ness, in order that they may make profit in the handling and investment of such idle money as may be intrusted to their care. ® -&. ¥ The constitution prohibits the making of profit outof city money, or the use of the same for any purpose not authorized by law. Certainly the deposit of the city funds in a bank permits the bank to make a profit out of it, and it is equally certain that such was not the purpose of raising money in this city by taxation. It is raised for paying the expenses of the city, not to loan to a bank. It would seem to be equally plain that the act complained of in the complaint was within the vpro- hibition of section 424 of the Penal Code forbidding the uniawful depositing of money in any bankand making it a felony. ‘We have seen that said deposits are for the purpose of making a profit cut of the money, and are prohibited; hence they are unlawful. The Supreme Court, however, in Yarnell vs. City of Los Angeles, passed upon this question directly, namely: that the de- positing of money in a bank 1s making vrofit out of it, under violation of section 17, Article IT, of the constitution, and that such deposit is prohibited by section 424 of the Penal Code, 87 California, 60S. The court held that, “It seems clear, there- fore, that a scheme which places public moneys in the possession and control of a private corporation is entirely inconsistent with the provisions of section 424 of the Code above quoted.” The question as to whether special de- posits of public moneys can be made in banks is not presented in this case and no opinion is expressed thereon. e CYCLERS SCORE A POINT. Judge Logan’s Decision Pleases the Santa Cruz Wheelmen. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Feb. 5.—Bicycle- riders were pleased to-day over a decision of Judge Logan that they cannot be pun- ished by both fine and imprisonment for riding on the sicewalks. But the decision does not hold that they may freely ride tx)n the sidewalks without let or hindl‘ancee t merely holds that the ordinance is no valid because it provides a penalty of both fine and imprisonment, being in excess of the power granted by the charter. The decision was delivered in habeas corpus proceedings taken to the Superior Court from Justice Craghill’s action in im- Pposing a fine of §5 and thirtv minutes in the City Prison. The sentence was made by request of the defendant, Ben R. Mar- tin, Deputy County Clerk, who, through his attorneys, asked that he might be sen- tenced to thirty minutes’ imprisonment in addition to the fine, for the purpose of testing the validity of the law. M. Martin’s offense was not committed on a public street, but without the business center, where the roads were very muddy and the sidewalk scarcely traveled by pe- destrians, —_————— MAY LOSE AN EXYE. Painful Accident to a San Franociscan at Santa Cruz. SANTA CRUZ, CaL, Feb. 5—J. J. Hogue, a foreman of the Western lron Works, Beale street. San Francisco, en- gaged here on the courthouse, was injured to-day by a piece of wet mortar falling from & brick mason’s trowel and striking him full in the open left eye. Mr. Hogue was on the second floor, and looking upward caught the tull force of the mortar, which added to the pain and injury caused by the burning of the lime.

WITHIN FORTY MILES OF LEHASA, Experiences of English Travelers in the Unexplored Wilds of Thibet. 8t. George Littledale and Mrs. Little- dale have just returned to England after accomplishing a remarkable and hazard- ous journey across Thibet. They were ac- companied by Mr. Littledale’s nephew, ‘W. A. Fietcher. The party left England in the autumn of 1894. They entered the north of Thibet from Kashgar across the Kuen-lun Moun- tains by the Cherchen River, with a great caravan of horses, mules and donkeys. The travelers kept well to the west of the route followed by Prince Henry of Orleans and M. Bonvalot. For two months they were traveling at an altitude of 17,000 feet, and on their approach to Lhasa had to cross a difficult pass, rising to a height of about 20,000 feet. The hardships that were endured were most trying to alland Mrs. Littledale suf- fered seriously. Of about a hundred ani- mals only a score or so succeeded in reach- ing the neighborhood of Lhasa. The re- sult was that Mr. Littlefield had to aban- don most of his collections, including many natural history specimens. Still, he has succeeded in bringing home a fair col- lection of birds. By the pass referred to above the party succeeded in reaching within forty miles of Lhasa, nearer than any European has got since the days of Abbe Huc. This suc- cess was not attained without risk. Leav- ing the pass was a troop of 250 men armed with matchlocks, who threatened to fire if the party dared to pass. No one was more determined to go on than Mrs. Little- dale, although there were only three armed Sepoys with the party. As a matter of fact, the travelers did pass through the gantlet of matchlock men, not one of whom fired a shot. Mr. and Mrs. Littledale had quite made up their minds to enter Lhasa. They would have done so, but when they camped, after crossing the pass, the don- keys, on which were all their baggage, provisions, etc., had not turned up, and, indeed, they did not do so till after the lapse of some time. Partly on this ac- count and partly on account of Mrs. Littledale’s health, Mr. Littledale deter- mined not to force the position, but to turn westward toward Ladak. The Thibet-~ 2ns insisted on the party returning asthey came, across the terrible pass, but this they absolutely refused to do, and, as usual, on the display of firmness, the Thibetans yielded and allowed the travelers to go their own way. Mr. Little- dale would have liked much to go south into Sikkim, but under the circumstances this was impossible. He therefore pro- ceeded northwest by Tengri-Nor and the group of lakes which lie between that and Dadak. The party arrived at Srinagar a few weeks ago. . Although Mr. Littlefield did not succeed ir actually entering Lhasa, ve has accom- plished far more than any one expected he would do, considering the conditionsun- der which he traveled. He has traversed & very great extent of unexplored country, both in approaching Lhasa and in leaving it. His map is an admirable piece of work in view of the circumstances under which it must have been executed. There are about thirty sheets, each about eighteen inches square, on which are platted, with wonderful minuteness, the features of the country through which the party passed. The scale of the map is five miles to the inchs It forms a substantial additionAtlo the least known part of Central Asia. together the expedition promises to take a high rank in the history of geographical exploration.—London Times. e — An Historic Barber-Shop. Clamorgan’s barber-shop in St. Louis, which is soon to be dismantled, has long been famous in the West. its original pro- prietors, who were octoroons, established 1t in 1852, and fitted it up luxuriously with mahogany chairs, marble tubs, imported from Ttaly, and the finest of tonsorial paraphernalia. Dickens was shaved there, and Grant, General Pope, Benton, Douglas and other celebrities oFthu day patronized it. Grant, indeed, is said to have had his hair cut there oftener than any other cus- tomer. Perhaps its crowning glory was the patronage of the Prince of Wales, who, finding the Planters’ House tnbs rimeval, came to lave in Clamorgan’s Italian mar- ble. Etiquette forbade him, however, to occupy one of the barber’s chairs, e e e By chance it has been discovered that even the most delicate tracery of the petals of flowers can be reproduced in metal.

The Junta Hereby Gives Notice to a Budget of Strong Rgineyites. MUST KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF. From the Appearance of Things at Present the Boss Is Likely to Use His Friend. Gavin McNab's epigrammatical treat- ment of the condition of the local Democ- racy in the CALL of yesterday was read by the faithful of the Junta and pronounced the correct thing and “a timely stab at Rainey and Buckley from Gavin.” It also had the effect of stirring up some of the other warhorses, who have been slumbering with one eye open, waiting for some one to jab them-and open the other. Mr. Max Popper, at the club rooms of the Junta in the Flood building, last night worked up a few ideas, which he developed early in the evening and gave forth: “We want it distinctly understood,” said he, “that neither Rainey nor Buckley can handle thisorganization. I refer prin- cipally to Rainey. Ido not consider that Buckley is very much in it here, anyhow, although it is said by a good many that Rainey and Buckley are in together, not- withstanding the fact that Sam Rainey denies it. “We simply want to keep Raineyism minimized so that it cannot get control, and if it ever should get beyond our power to quash it T will personally go before the State Central Committee and oppose Rainey as vigorously as I know how. You cannot put that particular statement too hard. I mean just what I say,and if the worst comes to the worst we will smash rather than have the Rainey influence dominate in this organization. “We are watching every movement that is made here, and we want to give notice right now that certain Raineyites mustnot attempt to exercise any power here for the benefit of tha’ particular boss. “T will even go further than others and name the men: *‘Nat Selig of the Twenty-ninth. “Assistant Chief Engineer Dougherty of the Thirtieth. “Senator Armes of the Thirty-first. “Mr. Gagus of the Thirty-sixth. “Ex-Assemblymen Burke and Williams of the Thirty-seventh. “Fire Comm issioner MacDonald of the Thirty-eighth. “@. A. Fenton of the Thirty-ninth. “Eddie Greany of the Forty-second. “Secretary Maxwell of the-Fire Depart- ment of the Forty-fourth. *Those men must be careful to observe the motive of this organization:and must not in any way attempt to inflict Rainey upon us. We will not tolerate it in any way, shape or manner, and clean politics must prevail from now on. McNab has | handled the case fully enough to be un- derstood, and we mean just exactly what we say.”” “Recognizing the fact that Chief Sulli van of the Fire Department and Sam Rainey are intimate friends would it not be possible for Rainey to control the Fire Department ?” was asked. . “Perhaps,’”’ replied Mr. Popper, signifi- cantly. “Sullivan told me not so very long ago that he had said to Rainey, ‘Sam, you are the only man who can drag the Fire Department into politics.” He told me farther that he believed Rainey had the political power to make or break him, and that he was a Rainey man and Rainey’s friend.” “Would not Rainey then take advantage of Chief Sullivan’s faith in him if it came to an issue and the Fire Department was required in politics?” Mr, Popper drew two fingers down the sides of his nose and looked across the room a few seconds before he answered “Perhaps.” “What would be the resuit?” “It would kill Chief Sullivan, politically, in San Francisco.” “Is such a thing Iikely to occur?” This time Mr. Popper passed his fingers down his nose several times and took a good long thought over the matter. Pres- ently he said: **Well, you are at liberty to draw your own conclusions on that point. Iv’s hard to tell.” The question now arises: Should Rainey go to Chief Sullivan and in the majesty of his might say, “*Chief, 1 need you and the Fire Department to win out,’”” would Sulli- van stand by his statement to Mr. Popper and show that he believed in Rainey, by capitulating, or would he refuse and stard aloof from politics as Mr. McNab says he desires to? The question was asked of several men who have political noses and who use them. They didn’t like to express an off- hand opinion on the first point, but when it was put direct in the form of “Will Rainey use the Fire Department?” some- body answered : “Will a duck swim?”’ PETAD GOAIS VWS, An Italian Anarchist Who Has Given Up All for His Belief. Automatic Machinery Will Bring the Dawn of the Era Gori Hopes For. Pietro Geriis an anarchist and glories in it. If any oue sought to mince matters and called him a socialist Signor Gori would deny the soft impeachment and call himself an anarchist out and out. “An- archism,” he said yesterday, ‘is liberty of liberty. It isthe highest school of social- ism, the criticism of capital and the eco- nomic base of future society.” This talented young Italian, who has just arrived in this City from Denver, has given up a brilliant career at the Milanese barand has ccme into exile, all for the sake of his principles. ‘‘The passion for propaganda is stronger than I, he said yesterday. *I believe in anarchy, feel it in my heart and have to spread it, just as a musician is compelled by some inward passion to make music, or an artist to paint pictures. Anarchy is my life.” “'No, no,” he continued, laughing, in re- Pply to a question. *I have no bombshells in my pockets; nothing but a torrent of words,’”” and he drew out a capacious ar- ray of papess and manuscripts, for Pietro Gori_is a great reader and student, and in the few leisure moments he has allowed himself during the last few years he has showed his ability as a playwright. Gori was born in Messina twenty-six years ago, and has all the eloquence and spontaneous expression of the true meri- dionul. He made a brilliant university career and settled down as a lawyer in Milan, where he speedily made a name for his eloquence. The poverty be saw around him among the working people distracted Gori from his legal work. He became a socialist, then an anarchist, with a large following among the students of the city. His propaganda was soon stopped, however, and in order to avoid imprisonment in the United States, leaving a streak of anarchy wherever he goes. The tall, dark young Sicillan is a won- derfully convincing speaker. He speaks with his hands, his eyes and his arms, as well as with his lips, and his loose, neg- lige style of dressand flowing red neck- tie seem 1o speak for him of the abandon of anarchism. “Do you approve of the bombshell methods adopted by so many anarchists?” was asked. “Alas! we are misunderstood and pe: secuted,” was his answer. ‘‘The bomb- shells are the sad results of the struggle. ‘We have been suppressed and have some- times struck back, but we never teach our Gori went into exile and is now traveling | £ capitalists wiil need no laborers and will dismies them, and the capitalists being in the minority the starving masses will unite and say ‘We made those machines, we have as much right to their use as you capitalists.

AN ANTAROTIC CONTINENT. of Mar- From Reports iners. The Bydrographic Office at Washington has receivea corroborative reports from mariners which go far to demonstrate the existence of an Antarctic continent of con- siderable extent and elevation. The naval hydrographer, in connection with a limit chart issued to-day, gives a few_of the most important reports from a navigator’s point of view, and says: , “On no other frequented trade routeare vessels so liable to be obstructed by drift ice as in that portion of the South Atlantic lying to the east of Cape Horn and the Falkiand Islands. Asgiven by the most reliable authorities, the mean ice limit for this region runs northeastward from Cape Horn through latitude 50 degrees south, longitude 52 degrees west, gs far aslatitude 42 degrees south, longitude 35 degrees west, the occurrence of ice north of the fortieth parallel being rare. “‘The accompanying chart shows the limits, according to the numerous reports received by the United States Hydro- | graphic Office, of the enormous ice-fields encountered by mariners in those waters during the exceptionally severe years of Deductions [Sketched from life PIETRO GORI by a “Call” artist.) people to make their propaganda with death. On the contrary, we say to them, ‘If you destroy you will sow what you reap.’” The bombshells are always cited against us, but, on the other hand, who counts the thousands, aye, tens of thou- sands, in the army of toilers whose lives are crushed out of them by cruel overwork, by starvation, by criminal carelessness on the part of the capitalists who, employ them? “Their deaths would make an array against which the list of victims of bomb- throwing would palé into the smiallest in- significance. But the bombs have always been the direct result of unjust repression, a sad c onsequence of the struggle.” When asked to define his idea of anarch- ism Pietro Gori said: “It is almost impos- sible in a few words, but I may say that the anarchistic socialists, like all the other socialists, desire the abolition of individual property, because it is natural that when some possess too much there would be others who possess too little. Anarchism is the ideal of equality joined to perfect liberty.” Signor Gori ridicules the idea of perfect Ehysical or intellectual equality, but he elieves that every man and woman should stand equal in the race of life. He says that Herbert Spencer, Jean Jacques Rousseau and a host of other famous writers have been anarchists at heart. Speaking of labor and capital, he said: “I hold that the laborer is the true pro- ducer and that the capitalist plays buta poor part. Take a thousand dollars and shut it up in a box for a year. What has it produced at the end of that time? Noth- ing, of course, and that nothing shows what capiial would always be without labor. Machines have not yet become gnite automatic, the capitalist still has to epend on the laborers for production, and the laborers who make the machines and work them are not getting their share of the production. **When michines become automatic, and they will be brought to that perfection in time, then the reign of anarchy will begin,” said Gori with a somber enthusiasm. “The 1892 and 1893. All of these reports agree in describing the icebergs seen during these years as colossal in height and extent, and herded so closely together that any attempt to force a passage through the main body of the drift was attended by grave danger, many vessels being more or less damaged by collision and two lost. “A remarkable feature of the ice geen during these years was the different agé of neighboring bergs, many of them Tesént- ing the sharp outline, jagged egge and erpendicular face of recently detached ice, while others showed evidence of hav- ing been long afloat. Earth stains and aiscolorations upon several showed that at some period they had been in contact with the land.”” The last statement, which ‘the hydro- grapher claims full justification in mak- ing from the report he has on the subject, is also verified by the fact, well known to scientific men, that icebergs of such size as reported above could not have been formed on on small, low-lying lslands, but from a large continent of such height that enormous glaciers could be formed and progress toward the ocean. ———— Politeness Under Difficulties.
