One of the Methods to Be Used Against the Competing Valley Road. AFTER THE WHEAT-GROWERS. How the Matter Is Viewed by a Prominent Merchant of the Locality Affected. Engrossed as C. P. Huntington’s mind must necessarily be with che attempt to pass a funding bill in Congress and to win the suit pending in the Federal court in this City to prevent & reduction in rates by the State Railroad Commission, he has still found time apparently to formulate a plan by means of which he expects to con- trol a considerable portion of the trans- portation business of the San Joaquin Valley for some time to come, in spite of the advent of the Valley road in that sec- tion of the State. From a gentleman who is a large grain- grower and prominent in commercial circles in the San Joaquin Valley and who is now on a visit to this City, it is learned that the Southern Pacific Company now has, and for some time has had, a large corps of solicitors throughout the San Joaquin Valley at the points which the Vailey road will touch, whose business it 1s to make transportation contracts with the large shippers of grain, as well as with the more prominent merchants. These contracts, according to the state- ment of the gentlemen named, are drawn for three years, provide for all transporta- tion business being done exclusively with the Southern Pacific, and in return for this the railroad company makes special rates, considerably lower than those now in force. The work of these solicitors is done ina quiet and exceedingly cautious manner. For this course there are two gooa reasons assigned. Itis, of course, & most impor- tant requisite that theintending competi- tor of the Southern Pacific shall not be made aware of what is being done in this direction, in order thatthe desired object— that of freezing out this competitor from its due share of business—may be accom- plished. A further reason, and one not less important, 1s that the contracts thus made, giving as they do a lower rate to some persons than are given to the general public, are a violation of that clause of the State constitution which prolibits dis- crimination in rates, reading as follows: No discrimination in charges or facilities for transportation shall be made by any railroad or other transportation company between Places and persons, or the facilities for the transportation of the same classes of freight or passengers within the State or coming from or g0ing to any other State. So carefully have the emissaries of the Bouthern Pacific carried on their opera- tions that their work has not attracted public attention heretofore, although they have been at work for some weeks. TaE CaLL's informant, for obvious rea- sons, does not desire to have his name di- vulged, as he was ope of those approachea by an agent of the Southern Pacific. He declined their overtures, however, as he realized, he said, what would be the result if the machinations of this corporation were furthered by those whom the San Joaquin road is designed to deliver from the bondage of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. That this gentleman understands the full import of the scheme of the Hunt- ington monopoly is shown in the words in which he expressed himself. “I cannot understand,” he said, ‘how any man with sound sense can be induced to bind himself to the Southern Pacific Company at this critical period for three years. Surely every one who ships a pound of freight out of the valley must understand that any favors thut are granted, or appear to be granted, by the Souther Pacific at this time are simply proffered in order that the path and progress of the competing road now near- ing completion may be made difficult and its operation, if possible, unprofitsble. “They seemingly do not realize that this 18 not one of those projects that, owing to the lack of capital, is likely to be bought or controlled by Huntington & Co. They lose sight of the fact that its head and most enthusiastic projector is a man who bas undertaken to give the people of Cali- fornia a genuine competing railroad ; that he and his associates have the necessary capital, perseverance and ability to cope with the great monopoly, and, what is more, have the desire and determination to win victory in this great battle of money, brains and principle, “If the people of the San Joaquin Val- ley make any combination with the South- ern Pacific Company that is designed to tamper or interfere in any way with the progress and prosperity of the San Fran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway they will simply be thwarting the efforts of those whose interests are very closely allied to their own, and any injury that may result to the Valley road will be reflected and intensified among them- selves. For the good reputation of the valley, for its future welfare, for the wel- fare of the State, I should be extremely sorry to learn that this latest scheme con- cocted by the Southern Pacific to retain its monopolistic grip on the richest section of the State is even partially successful.”’ SCHOOL OF METHODS.

This is & very jmportant matter, and it is most earnestly urged upon the differ- ent leagues the necessity of obtaining these statistics and providing the delegates with them for nse by the congress. All leagues organized in the State before the eassembling of the congress, Republican in politics, and who are in sympathy and accord with the objects, purposes and aims of the Afro-American leagues of this State, are hereby requested to send delegates to the con- gress to represent their respective leagues, in accordance with the provisions herein enum- erated, under which leagues already estab- lished will be represented.

The colored vote in this State now numbers about 7000, and we feel thatit 1s time some acknowledgment was made for the good we have done the Republican arty.” The Bay State Iestaurant. A large crowd was enterthined last even- ing at the Bay State restaurant, 13 and 15 Stockton street, by the proprietor, Max Adler, and his assistants, the occasion being the formal opening of the place since its enlargement. Under Mr. Adler’s man- agement this restaurant has acquired such popularity that he found his old quarters inadequate to accommodate his trade and he has added the adjoining store, No. 13, to his former quarters. 1n the new part is located the bar, as well as the gentlemen’s entrance to the main dining-room, which is located in the rear. The old number is used for a separate entrance for ladies. Twenty new private dining-rooms have been added and the place has been reno- vated and repainted throughout. The Ba; State is famous for such delicacies as frogs’ legs, terrapin, etc., also for broiled steaks and chops, and is well patronized by epi- cures who appreciats the excelience of the menu. VERY REV. PRIOR VAUGHN. A Brother of the Cardinal of Westminster Is in the City. IS A COUSIN OF WOLSELEY. The Churchman Received With Great Distinction in Australia—Will Ee Here Some Time. Among the distinguished arrivals here yesterday by the steamer Monowai was the Very Rev. Prior Vaughn of Manchester, England, who has been making a tour of the Australian colonies, and who has been received everywhere with great considera- tion and courtesy. Very Rev. Prior Vaughn is the brother of the Cardinal Archbishop of West- minster and is the cousin of Sir Charles that would be much better than having the two thumbs. Mrs. Marks consented to the operation and it was quickly performed by Dr. Weil. The baby bore the gperation like a veteran and scarcely made a whimper. The accessory thumb, which was ampu- tated, grew out in a straight line from the metacarpal bone and was of perfect shape and as long as the other. Dr. Weil says that physical phenomena of this nature are not by any means rare. et SHE'S AN ACTRESS NOW Suits Against Mrs. Lucy Auzerais Hoyte and Her Husband for Services and Printing. The career of Mrs. Lucy Auzerais Hoyte as a professional actress has reached that point—common to nearly all Thespians— where summons to answer actions at law are of frequent occurrence. Her recent venture in opening the Al- cazar Theater with a big company was apparently not a success, for several suits have been begun to recover amounts claimed to be due for professional services, printing and other things absolutely neces- sary for a theatrical company. Emile Dreyfous wants $244 for music furnished the Hoyte combination, Francis & Valen- tine would like $178 for printing, while 8. Burkes claims that $124 is due him for ser- vices rendered.

The notable churchman is accompanied on his travels by Gerald Petre, a cousin of Lord Petre, and who is aiso a connection of the Duke of Norfolk. The prioris a striking appearing man of upward of 50 years, with a full, serious, yet open countenance. Mr. Petre, who, the prior said, had kindly consented to accom- pany him and act as” his secretary, is also a man distinguished in appearance. The gentlemen are at the Occidental in company with several ministers of the Episcopal church, who were fellow pas- sengers on the Monowai. They will prob- ably spend some liitle time in California. gard to where he and Mr. Petre had been hitherto: “We have visited all the Australian colonies and have been received with great distinction by the leading men of the colo- nies, Governors and others, as well as the heads of all the churches.” This is the first time, he said, that he had been on American soil. He referred to Colonel Vaughn, his younger brother, and to Sir Gharles Wolseley, his cousin. and other relatives whe were connected by marriage with American families. “T have conceived a high estimate of the American people,” he said, “and am logk- ing fcrward with great interest and lively expectation of finding ideals realized on this trip through America.” The distinguished churchman has ad- dressed many large audiences in Australia. He is a very eloquent and impressive divine. ONE THUMB T00 MANY. Abe Marks, Three Weeks 0ld, Had Two of Them on His Right Hand. The Superfluity Was Amputated by Dr. Weil at the Receiving Hospital. A baby boy, three weeks old, with two thumbs on his right hand was a subject of great interest at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning. . The baby, Abe Marks, was taken to the hospital by his mother, Mrs. Marks, who lives at 364 Minna street. He is a bright little feliow, healthy and strong. His father died a few days after his birth. Mrs. Marks told Dr. Weil that after the baby was born she noticed the two thumbs Abe Marks, the Infant Phenomenon, Whose Specialty Until Yesterday Was the Possession of Three Thumbs. on his right hand. It worried her so to think that he would be deformed for life that she had called at the hospital as soon as she was able to see what could be done.

MIND, C. H. Billings, a Stockton Res- taurant Man, in a Padded Cell. His Wife and Four Young Children Are Left Penniless in a Strange City. C. H. Billings, who imagines himself to be a multi-millionaire, was found wander- ing about the streets yesterday morning. and was taken to the City Prison and later placed in a padded cell in the Receiving Hospital. Billings is a restaurant man, and some | time ago, while in Stockton, sola out and | went to Sonora. He opened a restaurant there, but sold out lately and returned to Sotckton. He and his wife and fom children arrived here on Tuesday morning from Stockton. They stopped at the Occidental Hotel for two days and then engaged rooms at 303 Jessie street. His wife had not seen him for two_days, and when she called at the City Prison yesterday morning with her children in- quiring for him she was astonished to learn that he wasin the insane ward at the hospital. She could assign no reason for his mental derangement. To her knowledge he had not met with any busi- ness reverses, but she could not under- stand where his money had gone and she and her children were penniless. He had often told her that he was a distant rela- tive of Millionaire Billings of Moniana, and he had come here -to see if a part of the estate had been left him. He alsoclaimed to be a relative of Josh Billings. The police had been senrchin§ for Bil- lings for two o: three days. The banks had complained about him. . He had been sending in checks for fabulous amounts. A complaint had also been received about him from Montana, as he had been keep- ing the telegraph wires hot with demands for his share of the Billings millions, although notified that he was not a rela- tive. His surplus cash has been spent in telegrams. Billings’ four children were sent by the police to the Day Home, on Hayes street, and the police are helping Mrs. Billings to find two of her uncles, who Live in the City, so that she can get temporary shelter with them. —————————— THE BALLOON CHRISTENING.

James Swinnerton will act as godiather, and the monstrous white airship will soar aloft with all kinds of eclat. Miss Leila Adair, the adventurous Aus- tralian aeronaut, who proudly claims the record-breaking 'parachute jump of 7000 feet, will be the first to test the new bal- loon, and she is naturally most anxious for a pleasant day, as this will be her first as- cension in America.

Adcock’s, 10 Kearny st by | ALONG THE WATER FRONT Arrival of the Steamship Mono- ! wai Yesterday From Sydaoey. KILLED BY SOLOMON ISLANDERS Captain H. L. Howison to Command the Oregon—A Mexican War- Vessel in Port. The Oceanic steamship Monowai, Cap- tain Carey, arrived yesterday morning twenty-six days, nine hours and thirty minutes from Sydney by way of Auckland, Apia and Honolulu. She brought an un- usually large passenger list, of which the following named came in the cabin: John Mills is one of the principal share- holders in the Union steamship line to which belongs the Monowai. R.V. Web- ster is a wealthy tea-planter from Ceylon making a tour of tbe world. Joseph I ‘Sheerin, & prominent architect from Syd- ney who designed all the principal build- ings of that city, is traveling around the world. W. G. Irwin is the agent of the Oceanic Steamship Company in Honolulu. K¥rom the passergers of the Monowai de- tails of a wholesale murder of traders and missionaries by Solomon 1sland head-hunt- ers are gleaned. The savagesare reported to have butchered the crew of a boat from f the trading brig Rio Loge, and at Rubiana two French and one American trader were killed. The mission on the island had been sattacked, and the white people there begged the captain of the steamer Titus to take them away. g The natives of the Manning Straits isl- ands are fierce and cruel, like those of the Solomon group, and are given to cannibal- ism. Recently they lured ashore the crews of two small trading-schooners and put the luckless sailors to death, At Southwest Bay, on Tounan Island, a mis- sionary named Boyd and one companion were missing, and it is thought they have been murdered. A number of trading posts were found sacked and destroyed. On the island of Nusa 1n the Bismarck Arc eici:.elum a few weeks ago a chief named Balek, who was known as a cruel murderous man, fell into the hands of a ‘band of savages. He was speared to death, and his body roasted and eaten. The feast lasted several hours. The Mexican war vessel Zaragoza arrived yesterday from Mazatlan.
