Car., March 10.—For sev-i eral months more or less persistent rumors | bave been in circulation concerning the | purpose of the Os! Cotton Spinning As- | sociatinn, consist of the leading cotton manui cturers of that empire, to secure | direct importations of cotton from the | United States without going half way | around the world to buy Texas cotton in | the port of Liverpool fc ans-shipment tn‘ the Orient. Steps were taken to lcarn the | most favorable route from the ecc dis- | tricts to Japan by way of some [Pacific | Coast port, and agents of the Jipanese | manufacturers have visited San Francisco, Puget Sound and San Diego obtainiug this information. That San Diego has been definitely de- cided upon as presenting the most ad- vantages for the development of this com- merce and also in connection with the shipment of iron ore is shown by a letter received here from A. H. Butler, the American agent of the Japanese associa- tion. Mr. Butler, w g to General W. E. Webb, owner of the great Tepustete iron fields of Lower California, says: “I have just shipped the first ten car- loads of cotton purchased by me through the port of San Francisco, leaving Texas via the Southern Pacific. I am now ar- ranging for the second shipment, which will go via the Santa Fe to San Diego for trans-shipment to Japan. Hereafter all shipments of cotton to the Japanese fac- tories will be sent via Sar Diego.” Mr. Butler states that by this arrange- ment almost 500 miles of rail haulissaved, and that even by trans-shipment from here to San Francisco by coast steamers a sav- ing will result. But this method will ob- tain only while arrangements are being completed for the sending of Japanese steamers direct to San Diego, bringing the wares of the East and returning with cot- ton and iron. According to Mr. Batler, the Japanese people chose San Diego for the reason that a direct steamer line in connection with the Santa Fe Railroad would reduce the mileage for cotton shipments to a mini- mum; that the favorable climate would permit of large operations during the entire yvear, with no delays consequent from heavy snows, ice or fogs; that this port was the nearest in the United States | to the Tepusteteironfields, to which Japan | looked for her supply; that San Diego | presented, as well as any other port, the | facilities for handling all Japanese im- | portations of tea, silk and manufactured | goods, with the additional advantage that | close connection would be made here with | vessels for Mexico and Central and South | America, with their increasing commerce with the Orient. | The Japanese Government stands ready | to subsidize such a line, not only for the purpose of encouraging commerce, but in order to secure iron of superior quality to be used in the manufacture of ordnance and armor plate for naval vessels in that empire. This work is projected on a stupendous scale, the late war having demonstrated to the Japanese what can be | cone by modern methods and a strong | navy, and their victories having fired the inhabitants of the island to a still greater | ambition. In his letter to General Webb Mr. Butler assures him that active steps are now being taken to develop this field of com- merce, and to open the Tepustete irun | fields. Mr. Butler adds that the great need of S8an Diego is for another Eastern railroad connection. He believes that | such a road will come without fail, from | the force of circumstances and the natural | demanc for it, but no metropolitan growth nor maritime supremacy can be secured without the road THE LAKEVILLE TRAGEDY.

LIS ANGELES HOUEST, Witnesses Testify That Cycler Bennett Was Attacked by Czarske. Stabbed His Assailant After He Had Been Knocked Down for the Second Time. LOS ANGELES, CAr., March 10.—A Cor- oner's jury to-day rendered a verdict that the death of Fred Czarske, a saloon-keeper, who died Monday afternoon, was caused Bennett. According to the testimony, the killing of Czarske by Bennett was notsuch a cold- blooded murder as at first reported. The two most important witnesses were W. A. Burke and Casey Castleman, the well- known bicycle riders. Burke and Castle- L estified that they accompanied Ben- nett to Czarske’s saloon Saturday evening. They had a few drinks, and the trouble began when the barkeeper, Czarske’s brother-in-law, vilified bicycle riders in general. Bennett retorted in kind and one word led to another until the men became excited and Czarske took part in the altercation. Before the quarrel assumed a serious phase Burke and Castleman left the sa- Gossage testifies that he had | ate | FAIR SANTA ROSANS WHO loon, but returned later to persuade Ben- nett to go home.

Thereare | sixty-nine defendants and one plaintiff, and the case promises to consume the un- divided attention of the court from now until April. About 100 witnesses will be examined. On the 6th of April another and larger water suit will come up—the Farmers’ Canal Company vs. Simmons et al. It is estimated that its hearing will consume one month of the court’s time.

Interest Now Centers in the Festival Campaign—Some of the Favorites. SANTA ROSA, Car.,, March 10.—Who is to be queen of the coming rose carnival? | This is the question of the day in the City of Roses, The election of city officers will be lost sight of now. The mayoralty con- test becomes insignificant as compared with the race for a throne. As soon as it was know n that the queen would again be selected by popular ballot and that for a nickel one could cast a vote | for his favorite the big ballot-box in C. A. Wright's store became the center of at- traction and the little white envelopes filled with small change soon covered the bottom of the box. Through the glass side of the box the names on many of the ballots can be read. Among them were those of Mrs. Thomas Hopoer, wife of the president of the Santa Rosa bank, and Mrs. Emmet Seawell, District Attorney Seawell’s handsome spouse. Other bal- lots contain the names of Mrs. Kirsch, Mrs. Thompson, Miss Alice Ayers, Miss Jennie Marshall, Miss Juanita Conley, Miss Kate Lewis, Miss Gertie Sibbald and Miss Annie Koch. It is expected that there will be fully fifty candidates in the field at the start, for, though Santa Rosa is justly proud of her fruit, her flowers and of her glorious climate, the proudest boast of a proud town is of her beautiful women. Indeed, there is one question on which Mayor Su- tro and Collis P. Huntington are united, the Mayor declaring during the last carni- val that he was born fifty years too soon, ana the president of the Southern Pacific of Kentucky is reported to have remarked to Station Agent Stone, upon seeing a crowd of Santa Rosa girls at the depot, that he would give up all his millions and take a position as brakeman on a freight train if he could only be a young man and run on the Santa Rosa branch of the Southern Pacific. The committee on voting consists of Mrs. L. W. Burris, Charles O. Dunbar and George Hall. As the Supervisors of the county did not seem disposed to give $100 for beautifying the courthouse Mrs. E. F. Woodward, Mrs. L. W. Burris and Miss Isabel Dono- van were appointed to assist the five gen- tlemen composing the original committee, and on Friday next this irresistible com- bination will tackle the county. ‘‘aads,” and will undoubtedly make them *‘shell out.” Propositions to furnish music were received from A.

SACRAMENIO BURGLARY. A Robber Captured While Looting a i House in Daylight. ‘ SACRAMENTO, CaL.,, March 10.—One ‘ of the most daring daylight burglaries ever attempted in this city occurred this ‘ afternoon, and the culprit, who gives the | name of James Hart, is an occupant of a | cell at the City Prison, having been cap- | tured in the act. Shortly after 4 o’clock a message was re- | ceivea at the police station stating that | burglars were at work in the residence of | Frank Sweeney at Sixteenth and G streets. Night Sergeant of Police James J. Plun- kett sprang into the patrol wagon and was driven out to the locality. Arriving at Sweeney’s house he left the driver to guard the front entrance, and hurrying to the rear of the residence ob- tained an entrance and began a thorough search of the houss. He was joined by Driver Fitzgerald and the two went up- stairs and soon succeeded in locating the burglar,who was secreted behind a bureau. The officers orderea him to throw up his hands and seeing the futility of attempt- ing resistance he surrendered. He was bandcuffed by Sergeant Plunkett, taken to the station and locked up. The man is evidently an old offender and was provided with a complete kit. He is unknown to any of the members of the local force and evidentiy belongs to the Eastern talent. . et g VENTURA COUNTY’S PROTEST. Republicans Will Ignore the Republican State Central Committee. VENTURA, CaL., March 10.—The action of the State Central Committee in calling a Congressional convention and ignoring the County Committee in this county has raised a strong protest. Republicans here will refuse to recognize the action of the State Central Committee. N. Blackstock, | chairman of the Sixth District Congres- sional convention, appointed the regular Congressional committee as follows: Reid for San Luis Obispo, Taggart for Santa Barbara and J. R.

HE CANNOT TAKE ACTION. Taxpayers Adopt Resolutions Re- questing the Companies to Aid the Town. SAN RAFAEL, Car., March 10.—By re- course to the courts the directors of the | San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad | preventea President Foster from taking any action in response to San Rafael’s ap- | peal for a reduction of transportation rates. Mr. Foster said at the mass-meeting held | to-night that he had been served with a restraining order at 4 o’clock to-day. order he read in part as follows: And the plaintiff further avers on his in- formaation and belief that it is the intention of said Foster, without regard to the wishes of the majority of the stockholders of said com- pany, and without the authority of the di- rectors of said corporation, actually elected as such, to make a reduction in the fares and treights now charged for services rendered by said company, and particularly in the said fares charged for transportation of per- sons between San Francisco and the town ot San Rafael; that the fares now charged be- | tween said points are insuflicient to pay for the service rendered between said points, and that a reduction of fares would cause the said company to suffer a great loss in the operation of its road between said points; that said re- | duction is against the wishes of plaintiff and other stockholders who constitute the major- | Ity interest of the stockholders of said corpo- ration and against the judgment and wishes of a majority ot the directors of said corpora- tion, who were actually elected at sald annual election; that if the said freight and fares be | now lowered and it prove that the said com- pany be greatly injured thereby it isa ques- tion of serious doubt whether the same can ever be restored again. After reading this Foster said that he did not feel that he could talk mnch about the reduction of rates, the purpose for which the mass-meeting had been catled. When 8 o'clock, the hour for which the mass-meeting had heen called, arrived, the opera-house was crowded; every available seat was taken; men were standing in all parts of the hall. Mayor McCarthy called the meeting to order and stated the pur- pose for which it was called. He said that 1f proper transportation was obtained the town would soon have 20,000 inhabitants. | He paid a tribute to the beautiful climate and called attention to the fact that the Oakland and Berkeley population was | built up by the railroads running frequent trains at low rates. T. C. Crowley was chosen chairman. He believed it would be a wise act for the nar- row and broadgauge roads to reduce their fares, This would mean a larger popula- tion and a reduction in taxation in conse- quence. M. F. Cochran was chosen secretary of the meeting. The first speaker called upon—Frank Johnson—said that unless railroad rates were lowered and the popu- lation of the town increased he did not see This | how the gas or water companies could lower rates. Rev. Mr. Crosby eulogized San Rafael, and favored a reduction of rates, as it would bring people here. He said be had seen Berkeley’s and Fruitvale’s popula- tions grow from hundreds to thousands, and believed that if people could get to 8an Rafael as cheaply as to those places the town would thrive. Fatoer Lagan created considerable amusement by declaring that he was sick of hearinz of the beauties of San Rafael, and he believed lower rates would mean more pew rent. Fifty-cent pieces, he said, now look as big as cart wheels, but the climate would not bring people here with the present high railroad fares, and the town conld not be built up with shoddy aristocracy. He wanted the railroad to look at the matter as a business proposi- tion. People would not pay 50 cents to come to San Rafael to see our aristocracy if they cculd goto Oakiand or Berkely more cheanly. J. F. Fugazi and Judge Mahon followed and voiced the same sentiments. Sidney V. Smith said that he favored concerted action by the railroads and made the assertion that he did not believe the Donahue line was paying as was reported. He contended that the consolidation of the roads would mean much for San Rafael. Nothing could be done until the legal com- plications were smoothed over and he asked the people to wait until the trouble be- tween the roads wis settled. Mr. Foster then read the restraining order, and concluded by saying that he did not intend to see a combination of the roads. He was interrupted by cheers. “1 have never betrayed a person’s con- fidence,” said he, *‘and 1 don’t intend to | know any other road than the Donohue. Tintend to stay by it in the interests of the stockholders and the people of San Rafael. [Applause.] After a heated speech from Frank John- son, the following resolutions, oifered by James W. Cochran, were adopted : WHEREAS, In our judgment the city of San Rafael and its immediate neighborhood are seriously retarded in their development by reason of the charges for transportation over our local railroads and ferries, which charges, though not excessive in themselves, compare unfavoraply with those of other suburbs of San Francisco; and, whereas, we fully believe that the rates of 15 cents for single-trip tickets snd $3 for monthly commutation tickets woula result in a large and immediate increase in population, far more than sufficient to mal good any loss to the railroeds for such reduc- tion; thereiore, be it Resolved, By the citizens of San Refael, that a committee of fifteen be appointed by the chairman vf this mecting to wait upon the proper officers of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company and the North Pa- cific Coast Railroad Company to present views and wishes and to solicit such a reduction; and be it further KResolved, That should one company grant this concession and the other refuseit, then we hereby pledge ourselves, as far as our in- | fluence goes, that we give our patronage and support to the line that considers our request favorably. Struck by a Train. LOS ANGELES, CAL., March 10.—Two Mexican section hands, one minus an arm and the other a leg, are in the Sisters’ Hos- pital in this City as the result of an acci- dent on the Southern Pacific near Beau- mont. A gravel triin struck a handcar containing a section gang. One of the laborers had an arm cut off and another’s leg was so badly mangled that it had to be amputated. The others escaped with slignt injuries. The employes are reticent s to the cause of the accident. - Poso Reservoir Completed. BAKERSFIELD, Car., March 10.—The storage reservoir of the Poso irrigation district, on Poso Flat, was completed yes- terday and water from the creek turned in. ing into it, and at that rate it will take six weeks to fill the reservoir. Tt is rumored that persons living on Poso Creek below the point of diversion of its waters into the reservoir intend to apply for an in- junction restraining such diversion.

NOGALES, Ariz., March 10.—Informa- tion has just been received here from El Paso, Tex., that Lauro Aguirre and Flores Chapa are in that town, presumably mak- ing final arrangements to come to Nogales to enter Sonora and organize their revolu- tionary party. The menare being watched there, and if they attempt to leave the | United States with an armed body of men efforts will be made to stop them. It was rumored late last night that Aguirre was in Nogales, Sonora, in hiding and the Mexican officials searched several ouses for him. The officials no longer doubt that an attempt will be made soon by these persons to get across the line into the Yaqui country, where they can get all the fighters they want. They claim that President Diaz and his administration are robbing them of their land, which is the best in the State of Sonora. Large tracts of land claimed by the Yaquis have been | granted to foreign syndicates for coloniza- tion purposes, and this was the cause of | the last revolution, which has just been quelled. These Inaians also believe that in the exiling of Santa Teresa de Cabora she is | being persecuted and they are willing | to fight to restore her to Mexican | citizenship and get her property back, property she was not allowed to dispose of Tor even to take along her personal effects in her flight to the United States three years ago. A Mexican laborer who resides on the | American side of the line at this place | made remarks last night in favor of | Aguirre and his followers and was prompt- ly locked up by the Mexican officials, but was released this morning through the ef- forts of his American employer. Another company of gendarmes arrived last night from the south, to be ready for any inva- | sion of Mexican territory by the revolue tionists. Fort Douglas Officer Retires.

Of late nations are showing the result of the strain which has been telling upon the world’s people for the past five years. that has been cropping out in India, China, Europe It seems to be a kind of universal plagne and America. If this state of things continues it is the men we will have to look to, it is the men we will have to depend upon. Fortunately for America t he vast majority of men have their own firesides, and even if some of these firesides are mortgaged they are none the less dear, and men will fizht for their iiresides when they won't ficht for their boarding-house. That brings us to the point of introducing one of the stunch men of Oregon whose residence is in Newpori, Oregon, and who owns his own fireside and who knows how to fight. William Ennis is esteemed in Newport, and rightly so, because all his fellows can depend upon his word—his word is as good as his bond. When in Newport I spoke to Mr. Ennis and he was pleased to say to me that he recommends the native remedy, Joy’'s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, because from his own experience he knows it is a good medicine and deserves high commendation. As his picture will show, he was not on the verge of the grave, yet it is a fact that he was in need of a blood remedy, for his biood was disordered. He felt tired and weary and unable to work as much as he desired. He used several bottles of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparitla. It cleansed his blood, regulated his liver and kidneys and put him in the condition in which he is now in, so that he is glad to recommend Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla as a good spring medicine. Tt is a fact worth mentioning at this point that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla con- tains no iodide of potassium or mineral drugs, and therefor- can be taken by any lady or gentleman without expecting pimples on the face, blood blotches on the body or uneasiness whatsoever. He or she who takes Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla will be sure | to feel better for the taking. In the office of the Edwin W. Joy Company there are over one thousand testimo- nials from the best of people who are now living on the Pacific Coast, and these testi- monials are only a part of the many people who have praised the home remedy. It is a fact of which few people are aware that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla acts on the kidneys and liver although it contains no mercury or mineral drugs. People who are suffering from an affection of the liver, constipation, disordered blood or spring troubles should use Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla now. If you have decided to use the remedy, when you ask for it from your druggist be sure he does not talk you into using something else, as there are yet a few druggists who are endeavoring to substitute a cheaper remedy for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla because they make a greater profit, and while the majority of druggists are really honorable men, there are a few who still continue to do that whicn is not right, Therefore when you ask for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla be sure you get it.
