They are, of course, al ept within fence, but as none of the ra: n less than acres, this is practically no restric Part of the time they ept on wiid iand and made to get theirliving off the natural vegetation, and then they are kept In at falia fields for a few days.

Mr. Molera s also been fortunate in baving: good- spositioned animals. perfect harmony. Even the buffalo cows and the Galloway cows have got_along in the most friendly manner, and in the whole six vears there has not been a single fight. Results in breeding are slow to reach, but if Mr. Molera realizes all that he expects, there is no reason why others should not follow his exampleand thereby add to California many valuable re- sources.

The experiment in e has been made by the well- ban J. Molera, and ars _he feels more en- aged than . eve Mr. Molera has ied the buffalo, and in his experiments :ndeavored to keep as close to nature | )ssible, and at the same time make use all the scientific knowledge he.could obtain on the subject. Mr. Molera commenced his experiments | a modest scale in the antumn of 1890. | {is first purchase was a magnificent bui- | o bull that he obtained from a traveling | bitor named Gardener. The animal was in the best of health and Mr. Mo knew it must be hardy or it would not have been able to have stood the discom- | forts and hardships of travel. He had the animal taken to his Point Sur ranca in Monterey County and turned loose on the | range. 1t was contented from the start | and soon became fat. Seeing that the | winter climate agreed with the bull Mr. | Molera sent to B. Jones of 2 ka and obtamed a buffalo cow, which he also | turned out on the range. That was in 1891 and in 1892 a fine bull calf was born that _has now grown to ma- turity and_is in the best of health. En- couraged by his success Mr. Molera ob- tained from Mr. Weaser four more cows, | all of which gave birth to calves that are | now nearly 2 years old. Some of the cows | have given birth to two ealves, the last of which are still very young. Including his purchase Mr. Moléra’s herd now numbers fourteen. He has pot lost a single full- bred calf, and the entire herd is in the pe of health and spirits, and they should multiply in the same ratio 1n the future as they have in the past. If y do the herd | wiil increase to over 100 in the next seven | vears and as they will be all acclimated animals there seems to be no reason why | the buffalo should ever become extinct. In addition to his experiments with full- blooded buffaloes, Mr. Molera has also tried the effects of crossing the buffalo bull with the Galloway cow. His success at first was not 2s encouraging as with the full breeds. The first season four calves were born, but three of them died, The other, however, grew up in good health, and Mr. Molera thinks the loss of the other three was due to carelessness on the part of the men who\cared for them. Since then other caives have been born | from the same cows and all appear to be in the best of health. Strange to say, all of the half-breed calves were females. | Some of these calvesare now nearly three years old, and an effort has been made to cross them again and it promises to suc- ceed. To avoid inbreeding Mr. Molera has put the first buffalo bull he purchased | out in Golden Gate Park and taken fero- | cions Ben Harrison down to his ranch. | The old fellow seems happy and contented | on the range and has greatly improved in | appearance. The crossing with the half- | breed Galloways will produce an animal | three-quarters buffalo, and if they prove strong and hardy Mr. Molera will obtain other buffalo bulls in different parts of the country and conduct his experiments until he has produced an animal that is fifteen- sixteenths buffalo. He thinks that when that stage is reached he will have an al- most distinet breed of cattle that will mul- tiply without any crossing. The effects of crossing is a much more interesting and important matter than the simple breeding of the full-breed buffaloes, which is, after all, more a matter of science and sentiment than anything else. Should the full-breed buffalo be raised in sufficient nbers to warrant its being killed, onty a small portion of each animal makes good food and the skin can onjy be used for robes. On the other hand, all of the half- breed malkes good meat. The skin makes the best kind of leather and also has a finer and thicker growth of hair than the full- breed buifalo. Some of the cattle, in fact, huve a fur that is almost as fine as seal- skin, only the hairs are much longer. In' conducting his experiments Mr. Molera bas maSn an effort to keep ail of his buffaloes contented. As soon as he detects any signs of restlessness he has them moved to another ranch. The ani- mals have passed their time between Point Bur ranch, below Monterey, and Moro Cojo ranch, near Castroville.

Abont two years ago Mr. Belcher went East, where his singing placed him among the foremost on the stage. At different times he found engagements in Brady’s many combinations and with the Hallan and "Hart Company. This sphere, how- ever, was too limited. and he looks forward now to a broader and more elevated field. Prior to leaving this City the young Cali- fornian will accede to the earnest request of his friends, and on Thursday night, March 19, he will sing in Native Sons’ Hall the songs written especially for him.

GEN. THOMPSON AS A WITNESS. Declined to Answer Some Leading Questions—Report of Expert Daniels. The G. A. R. court of inquiry which was recently appointed by Department Commander Wilson to consider the charges preferred by Lyon Post against the man- agement of the Veterans’ Home held two long sessions yesterday. The ‘court is composed of Judge A.J. Buckles of Solano County, Judge J. M. Walling of Nevada County, Judge R. F. Crawford of Sonoma, Major William Haw- ley, U. 8. A. (retired) and General W. H. Pratt. . Among witnesses examined were J. C. Currier, J. J. Scoville, D. W. C. Thompson and George'A. Norton. Theé principal witness of the day was General Thompson;ex-commandant of the Veterans’ Home. It was ascertained that his testimony was somewhat reluctant and evasive concerning the authorship of the resolution adopted by Lyon Post. He de- clined tostate whether he had anything to do with the preparation of the charges. His answer was that the question wasa “‘mixed - proposition,” whereupon there was a general laugh. To many other ques- tions he declined to answer on the advice of his counsel, Judge Talcott, and refused to tell the court why he declined to an- swer. ® The charges were considered seriatim by the court, and the witness questioned as to his knowledge of the truth or falsity of each. Concerning the charge of dishonesty in the purchase of supplies pointed in- quiries were addressed 1o the witness, and he was pushed steadily toward a specific statement. Finally aiter much hesitation he replied that Director Currier had bought two plows in San_Francisco that could have been purchased for 10 per cent less at Napa. He would not say that 1t was a corrupt purchase. Captain Currier explained that the plows were purchased by the committee in regu- lar order from a well-known firm, The ex-commandant also testified that many other articles were purchased in San Francisco at prices 10 or 15 per cent more than the market price at Napa. He also said a boss painter was employed to favor George H.Thomas Post when the work could have been done for much less money by competent painters at the home. The witness thought Lincoln Post was about as active as Thomas Post in looking for piaces for men. The commander of Lyon Post, George A. Norton, w called as a witn It was | disclosed in the testimony that Comrade | Calhoun introduced the resolutions charg- | ing mismanagement, but did so by request. | ‘I'ne post commander said he ruled out of order the motion to have the resolutions published. He knew nothing about the action of the post in printing the resolu- tions, Copies ivere sent to the Governor and others as directed. The court had the room cleared to con- sider the charges, and after deliberating | for a half hour opened the doors and an- nounced that the matter had been taken into_consideration and that a full report | would be submitted in” due time-to the | department commander. It was the gen- eral sentiment of the Grand Army com- rades in attendance that the report of the court would not sustain the charges. Following is a synopsis of the report of Comrade Phito E. Daniels, an expert ap- pointed by the court of inquiry. It was read at the morning session. The investigation covers a period of sbout three years’ accounts, embracing in that time nearly three thousand entries, The report says: I crosschecked the cashbook from the bank- book and the vouchers and ascerfained that the receipts and disbursements of the same were correct. The balances were drawn monthly and I found no lapse, each month’s accounts of receipts balancing exactly with each month’s accounts of disbursements, * The method in use at the office was orderly and systematic. _J.J.Scoville, the present book- Keeper, and J. C. Currier, treasurer, employ the books {n general use in nearly all classes of business. 1began my work with the cashbook, taking the first entries, dated April 28, 1893, starting in with the cash then already on hand in the bank when Treasurer Currier assumed the du- ties of his office. The total receipts from the United States and State appropriations, the canteen, farm, discounts, etc., up to M arch 1, 1896, amount in the aggregate to $349,713 56, and the expenditures covering the same pe- riod to $837,896 17, leaving a balance of $11,823 19. Warrants covering the amount appropriated are clearly and accurately entered in the cash- book under proper dates and appropriate hen ings, showing the source from which it was derived, and I checked all such warrants with | the bank books of the First National Bank of | San Francisco, proving that the same had been | promptly and correctly deposited therein from time to time as they were received, 1 found the vouchers for all of the expendi- tures, amounting to $337,890 17, on file, num- bered consecutively from one to two thousand and ninety-six, each and all of which corre- spond with the numbers of warrants and checks drawn in payment of same. 1 found that all bills before being paid were first approved by the auditing committee of the board, after which their payment was authorized by rollcall vote of the directors in accordance with the by-laws, and such pay- ments were made first by & warrant on the treasurer signed by the president and secretary of the association and made Esytble to the creditor; and second, by check on First Na- tional Bank signed by the president and treas- | urer. So that for every bill paid there are in reality three vouchers on file, viz.: the bill it- self duly receipted, and the warrant on the treasurer and the check on the bank, each duly indorsed by the party t0 whom the pay- ment was made. Particular examination of the receipts and expenditures of the $50,000 appropriation of the State for permanent improvements was made and the expert found that all the trans- actions in this respect weré conducted as the law directs and were approved by the State Board of Examiners. A detailed account of the expenditures accompanies the report. In regard to pensions the revort says: “The books of the Treasurer show that on March 1, 1896, he had $10,330 37 belonging to the pen- sionersat the home. Of this amount $5085 20 15 deposited on time deposit in the San Fran- cisco Savings Union and the balance, $5245 67, deposited in the Sather Banking Company, sub- ject to the order of the members of the home Who are pensioners. “Since December 16, 1893, the treasurer has received the sum of $60,751 30 nd paid to ensioners and dependent relatives $50,400 43. Every dollar_drawn out has been drawn by draft or check of which there is record.” The expert finds that the San Francisgo office is necessary for the economical mainfenance of the home, and that $5000 & year is saved by having the office in this City. Concerning the canteen the. expert finds that it has been a source of profit rather than a loss to the insti- tution. - The report contains a detailed statement of money expended for refurnishing five rooms in the main buildings. it The expert is surprised at the magnitude of the work carried on by the directors and offi- cers at the headquarters of the association in San Francisco. Suppliesare purchased by con- tract, and records of purchase are transmitted to the State Board of Examiners and National Board of Directors. The expert cennot see how it is possible for the friends of the di- rectors or officials to be favored in the pur- chasing of supplies. He is unable to discover where fraud, embezzlement or misappropria- tion could be indulged. The scheduies con- tain the names of bidders and the prices. Treasurer J. C. Currier is highly commended for the orderly and systematic method of keeping the pension accounts and surprise is manifested at the magnitude of the work in- volved. “In conclusion I need only to say that after. the most thoroagh, complete and critical ex- amination into the me‘hods adopted by the Board of Directors of the Veterans’ Home As- sociation as carried out by Mr. J. C. Currier, larities practiced by any one or any number of per<ons acting in an ofiicial capacity in the managementof affairs of tnis association. “And it is but fair justice that T should ex- press my regrets and ‘my most decided disa; probation of the terms of shame and reproac! that have been meted out to those who, in an hoaorable capacity, have so faithfully dis- charged the duties devolved upon them as the servants of the Grand Army of the Republic.” MONEY OUT OF HARLEM. J. B. Dutcher, the Millionaire, of New York, Here With a Party of Friends. J. B. Dutcher, the millionaire railfoad man and meat dealer of New York, is at the Palace, accompanied by his son, J. Jerome Dutcher, and Mrs. J. J. Dutcher, Edward Willets and Mrs. Willets and Samuel Willets. Edward Willets is the randson of the famous Quaker, Samuel Willets. Itis the former’s daughter who is Mrs, J. J. Dutcher. ik Mr. Dutcher, first alluded to, is president of the Union Stockyards and Market Com- pany. He has had the handling of all the meat of the New York Central Railroad since 1865. He has also been a director in the Harlem railroad since 1864, and is the only director now living who was in the road then. The Harlem road is the only one enter- ing New York City. On_ thisaccount its stock possesses extraordinary additional value. But thisisonly oneof many en- terprises in which Mr. Dutcher is inter- ested. He residcs at Pawliog, sixty-seven miles from New York, where he has erected a mugnificent residence. He is a member of the Town Council there and occupies twa or three other official positions. He was at one time a State Senator. The trip of Mr. Dutcher and his friends to Califor- nia is pyrely for pleasure. e BRANCH LABOR BUREATUS. Commissioner Fitzgerald Advocates Their Establishment. The Labor Commissioner received a com- munication from the secretary of the Los Angeles Labor Council yesterday request- ing him to- personally visit that city and examine into the condition of the working people. The letter reads as follows: Hon. E. L.
