Yesterday With Mr. Delmas as and with the one voice of atrained chorus they cried: “Is the date Wednesday or Thursday, your. Honor?—we have all agreed upon Thursday.” The court looked amused, and Mrs. Craven’s counsel smiled with a wide iron- ical smile at these lawyers late so eager for immediate action. George Knight helped himself and his associates out by saying that he had only | now arrived from the East and had had | no time to get posted on the latest phase of the litigation and really needed the time, so the court changed the date to Thursday evening. Mr. Foote had stated in the beginning that Mrs. Craven would be perfectly will- ing to take the required oath, and she now quietly stepped to the clerk’s desk and was sworn. Thereupon this scene in the play dissolyed. ; A's Mrs. Craven walked down the corri- dor, in company with her counsel, an of- ficer approached and served her with notice in the suit to quiet title referred to. | “Do you accept service?”’ he said. i “Certainly,” she replied, laughing. “Just as often as you please.” | Atabout the same time, as stated, yes- terday afternoon Dr. Marc Levingston, provonent of the will document alleged to | be the last will of Senator Fair, related in | i 1 sion street property form- to Mr. Fair and straight- | ejectment against the | back rents and dam- | .

He hoped the matter would go over until Wednesday evening, or perhaps the counsel on the other side would be willing to let it go till Thursday evening, as there was a counter atiraction on Wednesday that he was sure they were in- terested in. The attraction referred to is of course, the Corbett and Sharkey battle. McEnerney, Knight, Heggerty and half 4 dozen others, all sitting in a row, bowed a ready assent. Judge Slack said the date had been fixed and no counter attraction such as indi- cated was sufficient to change it.

TROUT 1§ THE YOSEWITE, The Fish Commissioners to Plant | Thousands in Its Lakes and Streams. A Company of United States Troops Will Lend Their Aid in the Distribution. The State Fish Commission has sent A. | G. Fletcher to the Yosemite Valley to dis- | tribute among the many streams and lakes of that region 500,000 trout. Mr. Fletcher left last evening. He will pro- ceed directly to the Wawona hatchery, | which is located or the south fork of the Merced River, about | from the valley. | This hatchery was built last vearand this s the second season of its overation. | In distributing these fish the commission is given the assistance of the troops in the park, under Colonel Young, who very kindly volunteered to furnish packtrains | and troops to handle the fish. | The waters of the Yosemite Park are | very extensive, comprising the different | | forks or tne Merced and Tuolumne rivers, | as well as countless lakes of good dimen: sions, most of which are entirely devoid | of fish. These waters, however, are well | provided with natural fish food, and un- | twenty-five miles | | questionably will sustain great quantities of fish, which will be available for food | | for campers and tourists. The Wawona hatchery was built by the Washburn Brothers, who own the stage | line in the valley. The trout to be placed ‘ in those waters are the ‘‘Rainbow’’ trout, | from Siskiyou County, and the ‘‘Mykiss,”’ or “‘Cutthroats,” from Lake Tahoe. Mr. Fletcher will be gone about a month | on this trip and will visit the most'remote | parts of tue region. The distribution will, however, take a much longer time. | This work will be the most important, so iar as trout are concerned, of the Fish | Commission this year. ——o In the Thirty-Fourth. Under a call from Secretary . M. Williams the executive committez of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District met last evening in Native Sons’ Hall, Seventeentn street, and adopted | resolutions’ indorsing Charles H.

W. W. Bolton Leaves This Evening for the North. | A DANGEROUS MISSION. Traverse Trackless Forests and Snow-Capped Moun- tains. | NO INDIANS WILL GO THERE. An Unexplored Country That Is Marked by a Blank on Even Government Maps. | Rev. W. W. Bolton, rector of St. )Kur}‘{ the Virgin's Church, leaves this evening for Victoria, B. C., en route for an explor- | ing expedition into the heart of Northern | ancouver. | Even on the Government charts the | tract of country which Mr. Bolton and his expedition intend to traverse is only | marked by a blank space, broken here and | there by a few rivers, suggested by dotted | lines, to indicate the fact that geographers guess that they may be meandering some- | where in the locality. No white man has | ever set foot in the trackless forests or | crossed the snow-capped mountains of the | region which the party will explore, and tne Indians shun the interior of the north- | ern portion of the island as they would the | | plague, for there is an old, old tradition | | no college graduates to membership, only among them that devils awell there. | Mr. Bolton is perhaps better acquainted | with the country he intends to explore | than any other white man. Two years ago he headed the firsc and only expedi- | tion which has succeeded in passing | through a portion of the heart of Northern Vancouver. He undertook the work under | the auspices of the Province Newspaper | Company of Victoiia and sncceeaed in | assing from the northern shore of the | island to Mountain Lake through a country of dense forests, snow-capped mountains and glaciers. It took him and his men two months to make ti:e distance, and during that time | they passed through many dangers and | privations. At onz time they were snowed up for two days on the summit of Snowsaddle Mountain. When the storm | down the rugged sides of the mountain, | which no man had ever descended before. | Suddenly Mr. Bolton began to shoot down asnowslide. He did not know what lay | below him, but he managed to turn over and clutch at a rock. Two days after he | and his men went back to see the place | where he had slipped and found that it | was just above a clear drop of 2000 feet to | alake at the base of the mountain. At Mountain Lake Mr. Bolton’s former expedition was forced to break upcamp and strike out for the coast on account of the aporoach of winter. There an Indian for civilization. This time Mr. Bolton and his followers will steam up in a little coast- | ing steamer to Adams River, about seventy | miles from the north of the island. This | river runs out between the Newcastle range and the Franklyn range, ard it1s believed that there will be fewer moun- tains and glaciers to traverse than by striking inland further north. The abandoned camp at Mountain Lake, in longitude 127 degrees 40 minutes, and | latitude north 50 degrees 20 minutes, will be the first point which the party will aim to reach. They will then head sonth for “We expect to change a good deal of | this,”” said Mr. Bolton yesterday, pointing | to the blank space in a Government map, | which represented the unexplored track | of country. ‘‘There are some of these rivers which I feel sure are wrong, and we hope to indicate some new lakes and mountains.” : Through the wild country with its dense undergrowtih five milesa day isa very rapid rate of progress. The party | expects to be lost to the world for at least two months. There are four of them, Mr. | Bolton, J. W. Lang of this City and C. W. Jones and W. Green of Seattle, They will carry rothing but absolute neces- saries, though Mr. Refigiei indulge in a camera. Itisalso his intention to pros- pect and if precious metals are found he intends later on to develop the mines. The party will carry a map with every Indian ranch on the coast marked on it, n order that if any one becomes disabled | his friends wili know the nearest point to | strike out to for relief. | “What we shail find in there we do not know,” said Mr. Bolton. “When we come out we will tell THE CaLL 21l about 1t.”” POPULISTS AT WORK. The 'l‘]lirty-F(;\I_rt;lv-A;;lslnllly District Club Opens the Campaign in the Mission. There was a fair attendance at the first | campaign meeting of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District People’s Party Clubat | Mission Opera Hall last night. President John D. Spencer opened the meeting by reading the Populists’ platform adopted at Sacramento on May 13 and making a few vertinent remarks thereon. George D. Gillespie discussed ‘“The Two Old Parties” in connectionwith the recent State and National conventions, declaring | that while the Democratic convention ot 614 members adopted a silver plank in its gold men and absolutely under the con- trol of Daggett. Their action, he ex- plained, was due to policy only and in no way to loyalty to principle. In criticizing Cleveland’s ‘bond-issuing penchant he charged Senator John Sherman with be- ing the Democratic President’s man Fri- | day and his secret and most trusted ad- viser. There was a duet by H. Dinslaye and | Henry Penning, followed by an address by | Joseph Asbury Johnson on “Populist Chances of Success.”” He charged the Democrats with having waited until the Republican party had declared itself for gold and then taking up the cry of free coinage for silver. He predicted that the Populists and the men who were for silver from principle and not from policy wouid | not be befuddied by the scheme of the Democracy, but that all in favor of free sitver would unite on a common principle and a union candidate—some man who would favor not only free silver coinage, but the abolition of all National banks and the issuing of all money directly by the Government, In conclusion he saia: *‘You will have seen the last of the Democratic party when this campaign is over. It will never run another Presidential candidate.” This met with hearty and long applause. Laurence Groniund detailed in a com- prehensive manner what he considered to a ‘“‘scientific remedy for hard times."’ Fred Milier, the secretary of the club, which now claims a membership of up- ward of 500, reviewed the progress of the organization for the past two years, show- ing it has made remarkable advancement. Miss Martha R. Aspden rendered a violin solo, and Burnette G. Haskell made the closing address 1n his best style. TO OBTAIN A CHARTER The Journeymen Barbers’ International Association of America Will Be Represented in This City. The San Francisco branch of the Jour- neymen Barbers’ International Associa- tion of America held its second meeting last night, Forty-two members have al- ready signed the roll of membership, and it was decided to send for a charter to-day. | The platform of the organization is to obtain for Sunday a partial rest, shorter hours and maintenance of prices and wages.

It was stated at the meeting that the Barbers’ Association of California, the Barbers' Association of San Francisco and the Journeymen Barbers’ Union have de- cidea to close on July 4 at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. Also that great interest is being taken in the barbers’ shaving contest which will take place at the Germania Gardens next Sunday, the occasion being the annual picnic fornia.

BETAL CLERKS ™ PIN, They Are to Have a Social Time at Glen Ellen on Sunday Next. Half the Proceeds Will B: Devoted to the Use of the Fifth-Street Sufferers. The various members of the Retail Clerks’ Association are making elaborate preparations to have a delightful time at Glen Ellen next Sunday. The occasion is their annual picnic, and they have made up their minds that nothing shall be left undone to make the gathering a success both socially and financially. There is one thing connected with the picnic that cannot fail to win the public approbation and insure them success in their undertaking, It is that they have generously decided to donate hali the profits to_the aid of the sufferers by the dreadful Fifth-street disaster. The excursion will leave the Tiburon ferry, near the foot of Market street, at o’clock Sunday morning. Casassa’s First Regiment band wiil on that day give an open-air concert at the ianding from 8 to 9 o’clock.

CORBETT'S HAND HURT. Swelled From Violent Contact With Bob McCord’s Head. A SHARKEY RUMOR UNTRUE. The Betting Was a Little Livelier Last Night—Prospective Maher- Choynski Fight, To-night is the night of the battle. The gladiators of pugilism, stripped for heroic physical effort, will struggle in an arena brilliant with light for the supremacy. Below, above and around them at Me- chanicg’ Pavilion will be a moving sea of white, excited faces. Which will win? Ask of the winds. A chance or a lucky blow can decide the contest. The admirers of the world’s champion, James J. Corbett, and the friends and fanciers of the sailor lad, Thomas Sharkey, each have money on their favorite, and money shows the sin- cerity of opinion among sporting men. Champion Jim may not be able to send his good and faithful left fist with as teliing effect on Tom Sharkey’s seasoned jaw this evening as he had intended yes- terday morning. The champion arose from his soft and virtuous couch firmly believing that the fist which decorated the great John L. Sullivan’s face in the famous battle at New Orleans for the world’s cham pionship, would play a tattoo on the handsome and intelligent phiz of the pride of the American navy, Thomas Joseph Sharkev. James did not even anticipate what the afternoon of yesterday would unfoid. He did not take into consideration that an accident might possibly happen to him. But the unexpected frequently happens, and Champion Jim is not at the present writing as sanguine of stopping Sharkey as he was when he meandered to the Olymbic Ciub yesterday aiternoon to have a short set-to with Bob McCord, the old veteran, who was the pride of the club in a fistic way when Corbett was taking les- sons in the manly art from Professor Walter Watson. McCord and Corbett met at the club yesterday afternoon and donned the mit- tens. They sparred gently for three rounds, but in the fourth round they mixed | things up. The round was about half over when Corbett called a halt.] He had landed a swinging left-hander on McCord’s head, which caused bim no end of pain. One of the knuckles of Cor- bett’s left hand was knocked out of place and the member swelled to such an extent that applications of hot water had to be applied immediately. The champion suf- fered much pain for some time, but last evening be said that the hand was all right again, and that he would use it to good advantage on his opponent—that is, as far as straight-arm punching is con- cerned. % 1t is extremely doubtful that he will try la left swing at Sharkey’s head, even though a favorable opportunity may offer to land a favorite blow. The betting last evening was 10 to 7 that Sharkey will remain the four rounds. The general opinion is that Sharkey will resort to running and defensive tactics for three rounds, and if everytbing goes well | with him up to this point of the game he | may possibly make something of a stard before Corbett in the last half of the tinal round. In fact, his play will be to remain on deck until the gong sounds the end of the fourth and last round. The Marquis of Queensberry rules ex- plicitely state that if a contestant falls without being hit the referee must caution him and if he transgresses the rules a sec- ond time the decision must be given against him. Will this rule be inforced ? Last night tne situation with refer- ence to the referee was that each side. was to submit a list of five or six names and that a meeting will | be held to-day to make a final choice. Just what man will be picked was just as much an unknown quantity as in the afternoon, though there were constantly rumorsafloat that such and such a man had been chosen. Later last night the betting changed somewhat. About 9 o’clock $9 to $10 was offered that Corbett stops Sharkey in the four rounds. The takers were not many. Therc is much more Corbett money offered than Sharkey money. Seven -dollars against $10 was offered that Smith beats Davis, with some acceptance. Harry Corbett wantea to bet $100 to $70 that his brother, the champion, gets the decision. There were no calls for his money. There was some haggling but in a gniet way yesterday over the guestion of who shall be the referee. Corbett has no money to lose and practically no reputation if she should fail to put the sailor lad into a dreamland with u constellation of shoot- ing stars, but on the other hand Sharkey has much to win or lose. The former gets 50 per cent of the receipts anyhow, but it may depend on the decision whether Sharkey will win $3000 or $1800. If he stays with the champion through the four- round dance he gets $3000, but if he is knocked out he will receive the latter sum. Hence the sailor lad and his trainer are somewhat anxious concerning the choice of the referee. The disagreement has come down to this: With the Corbett side it is anybody but Hiram Cook, and with the Sharkey and Needham side anybody but Alf King. As Billy Delaney said yesterday after- noon: “Anybody on earth but Cook. We don’t want him and we won’t have him. Tkis is because of his aecision that the Corbett- Jackson fight was a draw. “We will take any other good square man,” he went on, *King oreferred. We will take Patsy Hogan, Ild Homan or Patsy Logan. rhey would be acceptable to us. “‘Happy Jack” Harrington, Jim Ches- ley and Tommy Nolan arc also mentioned as being agreeable to the Corbett people. It is quite probable that the choice of the referee will not be finally made until this afternoon. Needham and Sharkey point to Cook as a man of well-known reputation for im- partiality, and say he would render the decision according to his best judgment regardless of whom it hurt or helped. As- serting this to be a fact they say they can- not see why the other side should object to him. Corbett has the big end of the whole progt_)sition, and it may not be impossible for him to force the other side into agree- ing on King or some other man he favors. Corbett worked rather hard yesterda; but not as long as usual. His trainers de- cided that he ought to let up a little, and to-day he may not work at all, but put in the time resting. Delaney is of this opi ion. George Green said it was not finally decided yet whether Corbett would train | to-day. They would see about it this NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. PRINTED DRESS FABRICS!

Young Corbett said that the champion is not in condition for a finish fight, but he 1s in shape tor four rounds. Billy Delaney, Jim Carr and George Green will be behind Corbett. Needham, Tim McGrath and Paady Ryan of Vallejo, who will be bottte-holder, will be in Shar- key’s corner. Sharkey and his trainers and a_few friends will come over to this City this af- | ternoon and put up at the Windsor Hotel. Sharkey did some Light work yesterday, but to-day he will sprint a hundred yards | a time or two to limber him up aud open | up the cells of his lungs, There was a report in Oakland yesterday | afternoon that Sharkey had hurt his ankle. | This, if true, would have meant that the fight is off, but it is entirely false. 1t was perhaps put in circulation to affect the betting. Sharkey was seen at the Acme Athletic Club at 3:15 o’clock. Not only his ankles but every other portion of his husky an- atomy is in prime condition, and he is fit to make rhe fight of his life. Corbett and Green were beaten at-hand- ball yesterday afternoon by Hampton and Pocknitz at the Olympic Athletic Club, and Corbett was beaten a single-handed game by Hampton, Jim Carr, who wil 11 be one of the seconds {@ Remarkahly Low in Price ! | for Corbett to-night, is an old and re- | tired pugilist, though still a young man. He goes into the fight owing to his long- standing friendship for Corbett. Carr has met Jack Burke, Jack Demp- sey, Tom Cleary and others. In the fignt between Corbett and Choyn which was attempted to be pulled off at San Rafael some years ago, Carr was behind Corbett. The fight was stopped at that time, but finally it came off aboard a barge up in Raccoon Slough. i At the Olympic Club next Friday even- | ing (ladies’ night) Corbett will box four rounds with William Smith of Australia.

An answer will doubtless be received to- day from the Irish champion. A BANKER'S BANQUET. Soroda, the Japanese Capitalist, Enter- tains Prominent Citizens.
