Provisions Adopted That IMay Some. what Impede the Business of Sca'pers. CHICAGO, Irr., April 14.—The general managers of Western railroads reached an agreement at an adjourned meeti with reference to the mileage ticket ques- tion. It wasin line with the action of the general passenger agents at their recent St. Louis meeting as to the enforcement of the restrictive conditions of such rvickets. On and after May 1 the 2000-mile ticket, which is soid for $30, cannot be used ex- cept when the conditions of purchase have been complied with. It is non-transfera- ble, and the conductors will take it up if they believe it is presented by any person other than the original purchaser, The non-transierable restriction will be practicaily enforced by a provision that the refund of $10 on each ticket now made bv agents of each road independently shall be made through the chairman of the Western Passenger Association or his the principal points in the terri- % e refund will be refused if the a1t thinks a scalper or his agent is the holder of the ticket. As the mileage tickets represent the stock in trade of the gcalper and the refund of $10 is usually his profit on each book, this action of the Western roads will be a body blow at their ess. I'wo or three of the Western roads at the general managers’ meeting yesterday dia not feel disposed to vote for the complete extinction of party rates in territory east of the Missouri, but their votes were re- ded in the aflirmative at to-day’s meet- All the roads felt that they ought to make reduced rates for theatrical and such parties, and . to show their friendly senti- they named a special committee to some means could not be devised reby such parties could be legally and protectively given a reduced rate. The managers adjourned till next Tues- day, when the details of the new mileage ticket agreement will be attended to. R B OLIVE WREATHS FOR WINNERS.

ATHENS, GrEECE, April 14.—1t was in- tended to distribute to-day to the winners the prizes won in the Olymplc games, but the weather was so bad that the distribu- tion was postponed, so that all those who red could be present to see the honors rded to the victors.

In addition to the s each winner will receive a medal handsomely illustrated diploma. — STANFORD FIELD DAY. April 14.—A free lets str Athletes Meet of the University Friendly Rivalry. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., April 14.—The trial field day sports were contest- ed bere to-day. A he: wind was blowing, which made il records uncertain and pre- vented much enjoyment for the spectators.

DERTS OF THE PACIFC ROADS, [ Continued from First Page.] considering the bill at this session, and he 1s supposed to reflect the views of Reed. The Capitol corridors are infested with Huntington’s agentsevery day. Hunting ton himself goes to the Capitol to direct their efforts. Among them are: Tweed of New York, Iilinois, ex-Congressman Phil Thompson Union Pacific, ex-Representative Cadmus of New Jersey, Corthell of New York, the Southern Pacific engineer; an ex-Repre- sentative from Nevada, John Boyd, ana others who are working less conspicu- ously. It is a noteworthy fact that Powers, chairman of the Pacitic Railroads Com- mittee, represented California on that committee when it voted to report the funding bill. Grove L. Johnson was ab- sent, but heauthorized Powers to vote him for the bill. Kyle of Mississippl, who was absent yes- terday when the committee agreed to re- port the bill, will join with Hubbara of Missouri and Bell of Texas in a minority report; but he will not go so far as to favor the bill which Maguire will propose as a substitute. Hubbard is now engaged in preparing his minority report, but will not present it until the majority report is submitted by Chairman Powers. Corthell of New York, Huntington’s railroad engineer, is here to try to convince the Senate Committee on Commerce that the Santa Monica harbor should be im- proved. It was Engineer Corthell who, with Engineer Hood, reported that Santa Monica wts much better agapted for a deep-water harbor than San Pedro. Hunt- ington is making determined efforts to get the $3,000.000 (continuous contract) item), stricken out by the House side, inserted by the Senate Commerce Committee. | Senator Frye, the chairman, is using his | best endeavors to assist his friend, and he | wields considerable influence both in that committee and in the Senate. Senator White of California is a mem- ber of the committee, and his attitude is in some doubt. His colleagues declare that he will oppose Santa Monica, even though San Pedro suffers by it, but John Boyd said to 1HE CALL correspondent to- night that he believed White would not oppose the Santa Monica project if the ap- propriation for San Pedro was endangered thereby. A delegation of ten from Los Angeles will arrive here to-morrow night or Thurs- day morning. Five are understood to be for Santa Monica and five for San Pedro. A merry time is expected when they begin their fight. Maguire proposes to make a speech in t_hg House denouncing the Santa Monica job. —_— Subsidy for a Cable, WASHINGTON, D.

TQLD TO DO THEIR DUTY. If False Returns Have Been Made, the Money-Lenders Will Be Taxed Twelvefold. STOCKTON, Cawn., April 14.—County Assessor Ortman is after the banks with a sharp stick. Recently he asked the State Board of Equalization to request the Bank Commissioners to have the banks here fur- nish him with a statement of the amount of coin on hand on the first Monday in March, This Mr. Morehouse of the State Board of KEqualization did, and it was thought that at last the Assessor could assess the banks with some knowledge of what they had on hand. Heretofore the blanks have been left in the banks and the bankers filled them out to suit themselves, and their returns were never questioned. Now Ortman is satisfied that the returns are not correct, and wants to get some way of ascertaining whether he is right or not. Instead of complying with the request made by Morebouse the Bank Commis- sioners notified the banks to submit a state- ment of what they had on hand on March 28. That is not what Ortman wanted, 50 he went to Governor Budd on Friday and asked him to request the Commission- ers to direct the banks to furnish the in- formation wanted. This Governor Budd did, putting itin such a way that the Com- If they do not, Governor Budd says, he will see that theydo. In speaking of the matter to-day Ortman said: “I think the Bank Commissioners are trying to shirk their duty. The Governor says that he believes the rich should pay their taxes as well as the poor gnd that he will do all he can to see that they do. If : X D | the Bank Commissioners will not do what Seattle from Chicago this afternoon with ; we ask he will endeavor to compel them to have the banks furnish the statements we want. The Governor came to the rescue, and if we are able to get at the amount of money in the banks all over the State it will increase the tax roll millions of dol- lars, If the Bank Commissioners compel the banks to furnish us with a statement when requested the Grand Jury can haul an assessor over the coals when he fails to compel the banks to pay taxes on the amounts they should. “I wish you would say for me,”’ con- tinued Ortman, “‘that the law allows me to assess at tweive times the amount turned in in cases where such amounts have been willfully falsificd. Not only will T increase the assessment ten times in case I find a man deliberately giving an incor- | rect statement, but I will have the man who makes it brought up before the Grand Jury.” CALIFORNI4 EDITORS.

C aims in Justification That the Water in His Well Had Been Poisoned by the Rancher. MADERA, CaL., Aprll 14, —Sheriff West- fall and Coroner Payne returned late last night from Ahwahnee, bringing with them Richard McGoon, who shot and killed William McGuirk on Saturday last at that place. The verdict of the Coro- ner's jury was that the deceased came to his death by reason of gunshot wounds inflicted by McGoon. William Metcalf, who was the principal witness at the inquest, said that on Satur- day afternoon while he was at the Crooks ranch he saw McGoon coming from the direction of his cabin. When he arrived at the bouse he told Metcalf that he had shot McGuirk and that he wanted him to go up to where his body lay and have it cared for. Metcalf, in company with one of the ranch hands, started out for the scene of the snooting. When they ar- rived at McGoon’s place they found Mc- Guirk’s body lying in front of the door of the cabin. One charge of buckshot had struck the man in_the shoulder and an- othf’r had taken effect in the side of his head. McGoon surrendered to Constable Lara- more, who took him to Fresno Flats for his preliminary examination. Coroner Payne swore to a complaint, charging Mec- Goon with murder, and filed it before Judge Johnson, who, after informing the defendant of his rights, asked him if he was ready to plead to the charge. The risoner answered: ‘I guess Iam guilty; done the shooting all right, and there’is not much use in fooling about it.” Judge Johnson then made outa com- mitment holding him to answer before the Superior Court without bonds. Mc- Goon stated as his reason for killing Mec- Guirk that some time ago he had over- subject will be further considered and definitely acted upon at the next meeting of the committee on Friday, heard McGuirk and another person in con- versation, in which they were laying their plans to poison him; that McGuirk had poisoned his spring the night before the shooting, and he had nearly died from the effects of the poisoned water on Saturday morning. : ““We were both mad,” said McGoon, ‘“‘and I told him to go away and go home. He saw me cock both barrels of the gun, but instead of going away he started to get off his horse and then Ifired at him. e fell, and I fired the other barrel at him to finish the job.” e TRAINS INTO RIVERSIDE. Faluable Concession Granted Southern Pacific. RIVERSIDE, CiL., April 14, — At a meeting of the City Council to-day an oidinance was passed which grants the Southern Pacific Railroad Company valu- able franchise rights within the corporate limits. Some time ago the company bought the old motor read running be- tween this city and San Bernardino, and soon after the purchase applied for a mod- ification of the franchise held by the motor company, asking that it be allowed to use large locomotives instead of small motor engines. The body to-day granted this re- quest,and the Southern Pacific will here- after run trains into the heart of the city. The concession is a valuable one and places the Santa ¥e at a disadvantage, as that company’s depot is a half mile from the city center. to the il UKIAH BANDIT CN TRIAL, John Schneider Arraigned for the Al- leged Kobbery of a Stage. UKIAH, Car., April 14.—The trial of John Schneider, charged with having robbed the stage running between this place ana Willitts on January 15, was be- gun this morning in the Superior Court, After thirty-five talesmen had been ex- amined a jury was secured.

CAPHY VALLE ASSAS, Young Stevens Confesses That His Brother Shot Aged R. L. Maxwell. Neighbors of the Old Man Said to Have Been Implicated—Death of the Victim. WOODLAND, Cav, April 14—R. L. Maxwell, the old man who was fired upon by an unknown person at his ranch in Capay Valley on April 7, died at the County Infirmary this evening. Word comes from Capay to-night that the younger of the Stevens boys, who were suspected of having shot the old man, had confessed that the elder brother fired the fatal shot. A report 1s also current that other persons were implicated in the mur- der; that they were desirous of purchasing Maxwell’s ranch, but were unable to reach satisfactory terms, and that che Stevens bovs were hired by them to do away with him. Maxwell was shot while at work in his garden. The weapon used was a shotgun, and at least twenty-five No. 4 shot took effect in the right side of his face and head. At the hospital he told the follow- ing story: “Two boys named Stevens came up to my cabin and [ gave them dinner. They told me their stepfather had zone to Capay with aload of wood. After dinner I in- vited them to go down to the clearing, where I was working. I resumed work and paid little attention to their move- ments. About half-past 10 o’clock there was a sharp report, and I felt a stinging sensation on the side of the head. The blow staggered but did not knock me down. I looked around, and only one boy—the smaller one—was in sight, and he was running away. He stopped and came back to me. “The younger boy denied that his brother fired the shot, but I am positive that bedid. In fact a friend of mine caught the older lad in the act of reloading the gun shortly after the shooting. I can assign no reason for the deed. I have no enemies that I know of.” The Stevens brothers are stepsons of A, McMillan of Capay Valley. A short time ago a rifle was stolen from a neighboring farmer and the theft was traced to the Stevens boys, who acknowledged the crime, and in returning the rifle avoided arrest. The oldest one of the brothers has not yet attained his majority. o e 54D DEATH AT MERCED. Morris Hartman, an Invalid, Drowned in a Bathtub.

Reports of the Suffering at Juneau Confirmed by Returning Passengers. SEATTLE, Wash., April 14.—The steam ship Willapa, which arrived to-day from Alaska, brought news of an explosion oc- curring on April 3 in the famous Treadwell mine. Five men, two of whom cannot re- cover, were dangerously injured. Those fatally hurt are Thomas Oleberge and Peter Noveau. Very discouraging reports concerning the condition of affairs in Alaska are made by the Willapa’s passengers. Frank E. Bryant, formerly superior officer of the Seattle Police Department, and one of the Willapa’s return passengers, says there are from 300 to 400 penniless men in Juneau, and that with the departure of every vessel for the States scores of these unfortunates congregate on the wharf beg- fii“g the captain for dead-head passage. 'he Cooks Inlet region, he declares, is being given the go-by by experienced miners, but that district is literally swarm- ing with prospectors. At the time of Bry- ant’s departure very few men had suc- ceeded in crossing the pass into the Yukon fields owing to the severe weather. The Yukon mail, carried by Davis and Stewart, is reported lost for the third time this winter, and with it a valise containing $800. The rush to Alaska is subsiding, and the steamer Al-Ki when it sails to-morrow, will not have to exceed twenty-five passengers, including those from Puget Sound ports. e enates Penned In by Snow. SEATTLE, WasH., April 14.—A private letter received in this city from Arthur Berry, formerly warden of the United States Penitentiary on MecNeil’s Island, who left for Alaska a month ago, says that three hundred miners bound for the Yukon are snowed in at the base of the divide, or pass, between Cooks Inlet and the Yukon, A fierce snowstorm was raging at the time the letter was written, ten days ago, and the prospects of the men being able to | cross the mountains were not only discour- aging, but the writer is of the opinion that many will perish. —— NEVADA’S HONORED DEAD.

Instructions were given and prepa- ration made to receive the runaway. Switches were all set for sidetracking, so as to derail the train in the yards. A few minutes before No. 19, the east- bound passenger, was due the caboose and thirteen gravel-cars came bearing down from the east at a high rate of speed, and as the switchspurs were struck the cars plowed their way through the yard, wreck- ing everything except the caboose and two | cars. No one was injured, but the damage to the company's rolling stock is consid- erable, If the accident had occurred half an hour later the runaway would have met the eastbound passenger on an upgrade. e S e i Illegal Fishing at Vallejo.

WOODLAND, CaL., April 14.—The pre- liminary examination of Shepherd & Col- lum, the proprietors of the Woodland Woolen Mill, accused of having caused the destruction of the plant by fire in order to cash a heavy insurance policy, was resumed before Justice Lamton to- day. The burden of the testimony intro- duced was in support of the prosecution’s contention that the two men had little money invested in the mill and a small stock on hand. Miss Watkins, the book- keeper for Shepherd & Collum, was shown a copy of a statement of stock on hand on January 11 and was asked: “How much were the proceeds from the sale of merchandise at the time the invoice was made?” *‘Thirteen thousand dollars,” was her reply. “Including the expense it reached how much ?”’ ‘“‘Sixteen thousand nine hundred and six dollars. “How much of thisamount was invested in the mill by the defendants?’’ “Ido not know without referring to my books.” ‘“Miss Watkins,” continued District At- torney Hopkins, “isn’t it a fact that you have already testified on two occasions what amounts the defendantsinvested ? I submit the question again; how much did they invest?'’ “Shepherd invested $500 and Collum $490, besides $600, the_amount of the dye stuffs purchased from Mr. Laugenour.’” ‘‘As bookkeeper, what was the largest sum on any single occasion you ever cred- ited 2" i *‘1 do not know.” “Was there ever entered $20007" “No, sir.” +:One thousand dollars?” No." “Five hundred dollars?"” “No.” account ‘“Three hundred dollars?” “No. There were seldem any large amounts of cash on hand.” District Attorney Hopkins caused a sen- sation by declaring that Miss Watkins was | unfriendly to the State. He said she had | told him'at one time that if Shepherd & Collum invested $7500 in the business her books were in error to that extent. The case went over until to-morrow. | DR, MCKENZIE, The world is on its nerve just now. Every one is getting nervous—nations and individ- uals.
