4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, SPALDING'S CABLE SCHEME PRESENTED Dole Confers With Honolulu Business Men on the Project. An Extension of Time That the Regime Is Not Inclined to Grant. Ltberal Subsidies Asked by thne Pro- moters of the Prcj:ct and Some Inducements Off:red. HONOLULU, Hawai, Nov. 18.—A num- ber of representative citizens were called to meet the Executive in the President’s room on ihe morning of the 14th, in order to obtain an expression of opinion upon the expediency of enlarging and extend- ing the terms of the cable franchise which was granted last year to Colouel Z. 8. Spalding, and by him trausferred to the Pacific Cable Company of New Jersey, of which Spalding is president, and which organization embraces such prominent capitalists as D. O. Mills, Abram Hewitt and Mr. Hall of the Northern Pa- cific Railway. The meeting was called to order by President Dole, who stated that a new arrangement had been proposed by Colonel Spalding and his colleagues, and before taking definite action, the Government had deemed it advisable to consult with the business men of the city. There were present most of the members of the Coun- cil of State, Senators Brown, Schmidt, Lansing, McCandless, Rice and Water- house, also Messrs. Irwin, Cooke, “Ather- ton, Swanzy, Schaefer, the Chief Justice, Alex Young, Professor W. D. Alexander, B. F. Diliingham, Dr. C. B. Wood and others, Attorney-General Smith read the out- line of the new contract proposed by the Pacific Cable Company. Mr. Spalding’s present exclusive franchise for layinga cable from North America to these islands does not expire until May next for the completion of the financial ar- rangements. He asks for no extension of that time. But he wantsa new contract for an exclusive privilege to land cabies in Hawali, connecting with Japan and Aus- tralia. He wants an extension of two vears in which to obtain a subsidy of $160,- 000 a year each from the Government of Japan and from the Government of Aus- tralia. He also wants three years’ addi- tional time in which to lay the proposed cables. As an inducement for granting these franchises Colonel Spalding will take up $375,000 of Hawaiian Government bonds at 4 per cent of the proposed new issue for refunding the Government debt. He will make one-third of that amount a'guar- antee for each of three things—a cable to Japan, a cable to Anstralia and an inter- island cable—in return for an exclusive franchise of twenty years for operating such cables. He will guarantee to lay the inter-island cable within one year. He asks no sbsidy from Hawaii, but expects exemption from taxation, navigation and landing fees, etc., as in the present fran- chise. John W. Foster spoke as the representa- tive of the Pacific Cable Company, in whose interest he was visiting Honolulu. Colonel Spalding, t<hrough his arduous work in Congress, had done a great deal in advancing tbe prospect of early success. The line to Japan would cost not less than $7,500,000, and it would be unreasonable to expect men to assume the task without some show of returns to guarantee such a great outlay of capital. L. A. Thurston, as attorney for Spald- ing, then argued for the scheme, laying stress on the advantage gained to Hawaii by the purchase of Government bonds, thereby giving a start to the bond scheme. Acain, capitalists would not make the im- mense outlay without an exclusive fran- chise. Hecalled attention to the fact that the contract would fix the maximum charge for ratesat §1 a word to Australia and Japan. The rates to San /Francisco would not be over 40 per cent of that fig- ure. After expressing their viewsand answer- ing questions Messrs, Foster and Thurs- ton withdrew. A general discussion then followed, par- ticipated in by Messrs. Lansing, Dilling- ham, Wood, Schaefer, Young, Alexander, McCandless, Swanzy, Irwin, Phillips, Isenverg, Juda, Waterhouse and. Hack- feld. The opinions of most of the speak- ers were strongly adverse to granting the exclusive franchise a<ked for. Mr. Swanzy pointed out the immense increase in the commerce of the Pacific which was close at hand.” The necessities of this increase by development of Japan and Russia could bardly now be measured. The geographical position of Hawaiiis of the most commanding nature. It would be a great national and commercial error for Hawaii to tie itseif up to one concern by an exclusive franchise. W. G. Irwin feit sure that the islands would get the cable when the demands of business required it. The time wounld soon come when Hawaii would get cables without making concessions and without expense to .the Government.- He also thought it improbable that Japan would grant large powers to a foreign _company. The Attorney-General .n5 Dr. ‘eood, whs had lately visited Japan on officiul business, both spoke of having learned from ‘an authoritative source while in Japan that the Japanese Government, in its present mocd and ambitivus spirit, might itself very soon lay a cable. Atany rate it would not 100k with favor or grant concessions to a foreign corporation. It must be a Japanese company with Japan- ese capital. Professor Alexander thought there were excelient reasons for hoping to gain Ja- pan’s co-operation in laying acable. That country was ambitious for commercial distinction and was growing very rich. The Chief Justice thought no concession would bave any validity without the con- sentof the Legislature. After a session of two hours President Dole thanked the gentlemen for their at- tendance and intimated that he mght again call them together. , Mr. Foster was notified yesterday that the Government was unable to comply with Colonel Spalaing’srequest, but hoped for his success in _building the line origi- nally proposed to Hawaii. News of McKinley’s election came last nieht by the Peking. General satisfaction was expressed, Republican success being more likely to be favorable to Hawaii. Mr. Foster sailed for home to-day by the City of Peking, The Planters’ Association met yester- day. They report a crop of 225,000 tons cf sugar. The increase of Asiatics during the year has been 4700, Roosevelt Seriowsly Jll. LONDON BxG., Nov. 24.—The condition of James H. Roosevelt, first secretary of the United States Embassy, who has been suffering from nervous prostration for sev- eral days, has become very serious. AR Serious Riot Among Strikers, BERLIN, Gm,n, Nov. 24.—A serious riot occurred at Lubock to-day growing out of a strike of tue hands employed in Thiel’s enamel factory. <The places of many of the strikers had been taken by new hands, and to- day the strikers marched to the factory in a body and at- tacked the new men. = A number of shots were fired on both sides and several of the combatants were wounded. Many of the strikers were arrested. —_— Philippine Insurgents Defeated. MADRID, Srary, Nov.24.—A dispatch from Manila states that the Spaniards kave defeated 40GO rebels at Santa Cruz. The ‘insurgents suffered heavy losses, in- cluding Abad, their leader. 'The dispa‘ch adds that the Spaniards have reached the town of San Juan atter severe fichting. P P ALCOHOL -IN ARTS AND TRADES. Some Interesting Statements Made Before the Congressional Joint Investi- gating Committes. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 24—The Congressional joint committee investi- gating the subject of the result of the free alcohol in the arts and manufactures and in medicinal compounds, with a view to devising and reporting a scheme of regu- lations by which that use may be secured withont detriment to the revenues of the Government, resumed 1ts session to-day at the Capitol. All the members were pres- ent exceot Senator Aldrich. Charies H. Merritt, accompanied by S. C. Holly, J. C. Miliard, Frank M. Storr and Nelson Booth, appeared as representatives of the National Association of Hatmakers 'and addressed the committee. He explained the operations of making stiff bats to show wherein alcohol was used in the construction of the article. Its office is to dissole gum shellac and thereby fit it for introduction in the hat body to stiffen it. Wood alcohol is almost entirely used, although the general consensus of opinion of manufacturers was that grain alcohol was superior to wood alcotrol. The competition in the trade is so close, Mr. Merritt said, that the makers felt that they were entitled to Government aid. Wood alcohol pays no internal revenue tax, so that it cuts no figure to the Gov- ernment. Buat the trade wants to use grain alcokol and would do so if it were iree from tax. Mr. Holly, alizo a member of the hat- makers’ committee, informed the com- mittee that if the manufacturers could use grain alcohol in their trade the people would get a better hat tor the same money. Mr. Bates of the Internal Revenuc Bureau, who was present with two or three asso- ciates, expressed the opinion that the re- moval of the tax upon alcohol used in manufactures wouid be a tremendous temptation to commit frauds upon the revenues. The hearing at this point dJrifted into a somewhat informal discus- sion of methods by which irauds could be { prevented, if at all. Mr. Bates said the least objectionable method, probably, would be to require the manufacturers to pay the cost of extra precaution. Frank Storr and Nilson Booth, opera- tives, gave to the committee the resuits of their experience as to the effects of wood alcohol upon employes who work with it. These are generally bad, producing headache, inflammation of the eyesand & catarrhal-like condition of the throat. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire informally addressed the committee. He said that three propositions could not be denied—First, that alcohol used as a beverage and to make men drunk shonld be taxed 900 per cent; second, that alcohol used in the arts and medicines should not be taxed at all orat most on'y to save the Government in the matter of expenditure for extra precaution; third, that it shouid not be taxed more when used in beneficial meaicines. To say that such a law could not be passed and suc- cessfully administered was to impeach the ability of the American peoble to organ- ize a proper Internal Revenue Burean. It had been done in other countries and could be done here After an executive session the commit- tee adjourned, to meet Monday morning in New York City. e R VICIOKX FOE CUNNOLLY. He Defeats Tom Causer in the Fifth Kound. BIRMINGHAM, Exc., Nov. 24.—The | matzh between Eddy Connolly of St John, N. B., and Tom Causer, an English lightweight, took place to-night at the Olympic Athletic Club, this city, and resnited in a victory for Connoily, who defeated his opponent in the fifth round. The men were matched to fight | twenty rounds for a purse of £200. Causer | was the favorite in the befting at odds of 6to4. The men were gupposed to enter | thering at 133 pounds, but both were over- | weight. The clubhouse was crowded. Billy Briesley, Jimmy Keily and Anthony Diemond seconded Connolly, while Jack | McFarlane and Harry Overton acted in a similar capacity for Causer. In the first round Connolly forced the fighting and landed heavily on Causer’s, jaw. A claim of foul against Connolly in this round wasnot allowed. In the sec- ond round Connolly smashed Causer in the throat. The former was hissed for hitting his’ opponent while they were clinched. Causer drew first blood, land- ing beavily, which caused Connolly to | reel against the ropes. Connolly recm'-‘ ered and banged Causer right and left. Connolly had the best of the round. In the third round Causer twice hit Con- nolly heavily on the chin and generally had the best of it. In the fourth round Causer was simi- larly favored and his friends became jubi- lant. When the men came up in the tifth round it was anybody’s fight. After spar- | ring for a wtile Connolly jabbed Causerin | the throat and knocked him down. %e picked himself up, but Connolly immedi- ately clinched and threw him. He could not come to time and was counted out. Cra Aol ON THE EASTERN TREACKS. Winners of Events at Lexington, Nash- ville, Bennings and New Orleans.

That Airship Comes Up as a Subject Requiring Much Discussion. The Scribes Loudly Praise the City Wherein They Have Been Eatertained. VALLEJO, CaL., Nov. 24.—The mem- bers of the California Press Assoclation were up with the lark this morning and ready for their trip to the navy-yard at Mare Igland. That is, they would bave been if Vallejo were given to larks, bat in their absence Editor Barcar of the Vaca- ville Reporter suggested that it was about the time the airship was goine to bed. The airship was a prolific source of ar- gument among the knights of the shears prior to the pleasure excursion, and the opinions in its existence and attributes were many and varied. Willis of the Sacramento Record-Un ion asserted in tones of the most positive con- viction that he saw it Sunday nizht hover- ing over Sacramento and then going to the southward with a peculiar, wavy flight. He described it as a bright light with an opaque body dimly discernible over it, and says it was about 1000 feet from the earth, J. A. Filcher, president of the State Board of Trade and proprietor of the Placer Herald, thought it a serious propo- sition when the Chronicle had taken up what it at first designated as “a CaLn fake.”” He Tnought that fact proof enough that there was something sailing in tue air, whether it was an aerial machine or not. . J. E. Walden of the Napa Journal thought it a mighty fishy story, butdidn’t known veracity cf-imiug to have optical evidence of its existence. If it had ap- peared in any other paper than THE CALL he snould have paid no attention to it. Brother Pennycooi of the Vallejo Chron- icleis still a confirmed skeptic, and re- marked in & jocular manner that there must be a considerable quantity of bad liquor imported into the State in the last week or two. \ ‘W. M. Denio, a Vallejo blacksmith pres- ent, said Ves Wilson, the Sheriff of Butte County, while staying with him a day or two ago declared that he knew for certain such & machine was being built near Oro- ville. Some of the editors were so eager for news that they wanted o hunt the Sheriff up and “pump” him for more, bat he “had went.” F. W. Jobnson, business manager of the Marysville Appeal, said he saw the airship very plainly over that city a few days ago, but did not care to say anything about it for fear of being laughed at. Then everybody laughed. All the editors in the party, several of them being accompanied by their wives, crossed over to Mare Island in the ferry- boat Ellen at 10:30 o’clock. Editor Pen- nycook and H. D. Richardson had been appointed a committee to take the party round to the various places of interest, nd aitended to their part of the pro- gramme well. When the island was reached Chaplain McAllister was in waiting to assist the committee. He informed them that Ad- miral Kirkland had just sent oraers to tne captamns of all the vessels to spars no ns in showing and explaining all the nteresting points about the great war vessels. Un_the Monterey Chief Gunner Batson and W. Molten, the paymaster's clerk, took everybody around snd explained the working of the machinery. This was re- peated on the Monadnock. The Monterey was in holiday attire, being fayly deco- rated with flowers and bunting, it being the occasion of an informal reception to the wife of Captain Clark. The MauAF\rm { cruiser Bennington, now in the drydocks, came in for a deal of comment, the ladies especially declaring it *‘perfectly horrid’’ that so beantiful a vessel should be used only as an instroment of destruction. The oy ship Independence and the ord- nance department were also visited. On the return to Vallejo, late in the afternoon, Editor McCraney of the Sacra- mento County Ledger wasasked by sey- eral of his journalistic brethren why he had been so0 quiet ana preoccupied during the day. “Well, I'll tell you,” he said. *‘Before 1 came down here 1 wrote an editorial for my paper, whica will appear next Friday. In it I'stated that the Examner devoted a whole page to the Portland Oregonian article, and yet was more to blame than all the rest’ of the metropolitan dailies combined. Now the wording and facts in that editorial are so similar to what Colonel Irish said in his address that I am afraid I shall be accused of plagiarism.” “Oh, you needn’t let that bother you particularly,” said some one jocularly. “There is so much unanimity of opinion on that subject thatany one writing intel- ligible English is likely to be accused of the same thing.”” Most of the visiting editors took the evening boats for home, but a few will re- main until to-morrow. They all ex- pressed themseives as highly gratified at the reception they had been given, and de- parted with many expressions of gratitude 1or the kindness of the citizens of Vallejo. WRECKED SCHOONER SIGHTED. A Derelict Vessel Seen Floating Bottom Up Off the Mouth of the Colum- bia River. PORTLAND, Ox, Nov. 24 —During the past three weeks incoming vessels have reported having sighted a derelict vessel floating bottom up. The craft appears to be a schooner of about 100 tons. On Sat- urday last the British ship Rockhurst sighted the capsized schooner, it then being about thirty miles wesc of the mouth of the Columbia.~ The course of the Rock- hurst was altered so as to bring the ship to pass within a cable length of the dere- liet, but although a heavy sea was on and the overturnecf hull rolled badly in the seaway it set so deep that no glimpse of the name could be secured. The derelict is evidently some lumber- laden vessel from the Sound or Grays Harbor, the fact of its keeping afloat so steadily for such a length of time indicat- ing that it carries a cargo of lumber. The members of the crew were undoubtedly drowned to & man, for in the storms that have swept the Northern Pacitic during past weeks no yawl carried by a schooner of the size of the one sighted could live in the sea rolled up by the gales ev~n if the men had an opportunity to launch a boat. futablchyer ok i San Bernardino Tragedg.

Allare now in prime physical condition, and if any should be injured and retired during the game their places can be well filled by good men from the best second team Stanford has ever had. The retire- ment of no one man would seriously cripple this year’s Varsity, so plentiful is the fine footbail material. To-morrow afternoon the football squad will pack up their much-used and dirt- begrimnied padded saits and move down to the Hotel Vendome in San Jose. There they will quietly spend the last night pe- fore the day of the supreme struggle for which they have so long and so faithfully trained. On Thursday morning they will start for Sun Francisco in a special car, and will prokably go to the Hotel Pleas- anton to spend the last quiet hours before the game. ST T STUDENIS ON THE STAGE. Novel Features for the Thanksgiving Night Entertainment. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Nov. 24.—The arrangements for the Thanks. giving night’s entertainment at the Cali- fornia Theater, entirely under student body management and the work of stu- dent talent, have been finished, and the programme, though kept secret as far as sible, has been made known in its gen- eral eharacter. A very large number of students will take part, and all the musi- cal talent and dramatic ability of the uni- versity have been rebearsing for weeks in pre tion.

Footbail Men and ¢ Kooters” Are Ready for the Struggle. BERKELEY, CaL., Nov. 24.—Only a few hours remain before the great intercol- legiate football contest of the year on the Pacific Coast will ve on. In these few hours the players will devote ibemselves to the final planning for the great but brief campaign upon which they are about to enter. Frem now tntil the kick-cff on Thursday afternoon the Varsity players will be the subjects of every attention from their enthusiastic friends among the students, as well as from their coach- ers and trainers. As the supple muscles of a fiery steea are rubbed and bathed before starting in a handicap, so will the joints, muscles and sinews of the Berke- ley footbail beroes be anointed and rubbed. hile the trainers are putting on ihe finishing touches to the muscled knighs of the gridiron, the ‘‘rooters,” who will make the noise on the day of battle to urge their comrades on, will be training their throats and voices. They will pre- pare themselves with songs, jibes and joshes, which are destined to strike terror nto the hearts of the Palo Alto men and to drown their Rah! Rah! Rahs! An enthusiastic meeting was held by the Associated Siudents this afternoon,im- mediately following arill, to take prelim- inary steps in the organization of the singing and *‘rooting’’ contingents. The annual “send-off” will be given the boys to-morrow evening at the training quar- ters. Shortly after 7 o’clock the entire student body, including a deiegation from the Attiliated Colieges, will gather at Stiles Hall for an hour’s practice with the songs and joshes. After the practice they will go in a body to the training quarters, where yells will be emitted, songs and speeches made. Each member of the team, as well as Butierworih and Nott, will be called upon for remarks. This is one of the songs which the Berkeley boys will practice. 1t is called the “patent adjustable fontball song’’ be- cause it can be rendered to four different tunes: Sing rumpty-iddity. boom ta rah!

When the rooters have become tired of singing long songs the shorter slogans of war, such as this, will be tried: Our team’s a dalsy; *Twill se: Stanford crazy, And beat her easy How do we kuow? Our team’s a beauty, Stanford's is fruity. How-in-the-duce.wiil-we-find-that-out? Our play will show. Then will come the yells—the long ones and the short ones—and finally such jests and joshes as this: Cal-+-for-ni-at Ob, my Alma Mate! Rally up your forces and Slap Stanford on the Pate! The players were taken through another course of signal practice this afternoon. Fora short time the second eieven lined up against the Varsity, and interference wus practiced. Ransome made the punt of his life, kicking the pigskin on a pass from the quarter seventy-six yards by actual meas- urement. To-night the boys were given a good rub-down and were ordered toretire early. To-morrow afternoon the work of to-day will be repeated. They wili not go to San Francisco to spend the last night before the great game, as has besan the custom for the past iwo years, but will remain at the training-house. They will not go to the City until Thursday morning. Bernard Miller, in whose hands has been placed the cus:oay of the little bear which will be Berkeley’s mascot on T Ksgiv- ing day, will bring young bruin to the campus in the morning and give him an introauction into college life and college Ways.

A sick mother can’t properly care for her child’s health, A sick mother sometimes bears a healthy child, but it isn’t to be expected. Maybe the baby will the a; rance of health, but will lack stamina. Maybe innate weakness will develop in aiter ye::rs. very woman should be particularly careful of her health during the perio?l of gestation—when the child is really a part of herself. 3 During all this time, she should kee; her body strong and pure and she shouls tnk’igomper Precautions against her time of labor.

Y, : FOUND IN THE PARK. A Man Who Was Said to Be ¢ Shaking to Pieces.” QUICK AND SUREWORK If Vitality Can Be Re- stored Jim Corbett May Fight Again Golden Gate Park furnishes a recreation ground for more people than even its most enthusiastic supporters have any notion of. In point of fact many of our wealth- iest people go there fora walk every day of their lives, and it has been the scene of many a philanthropic act that the worid generally “‘wots not of.” One of the most recent as well as ons of the most pleas- ing is that of the poor fellow who was found in an slmost helpless condition, re- clining on one of the benches with which the ‘‘great playground” is liberaily sup- plied. I the facts are known to almost every one, the story is well worth telling over again—for it points 8 moral—it adorns a character with that “milk of human kind- ness,” the possession of which is ciaimed by so many, and yet owned by few. But about the story. Itis this: A gentleman noted for nis handsome teeth, his iuxuriant auburn bair, his devo- tion to pedestrianism, and his many quist chariable acts, was strolling—or rather walking briskly—through the ‘*Pan- handle” of the Park when his attention was attracted by & man, sitting ap- parently asleep on one of the afore- said benches. His head was bent over his chest and he swayed as thongh rocked by the wind. The face was drawn, and yet not harsh. *“That poor devil is ill,” said the man of the auburn bair men- tally. A second glence showed that the “poor devil” had a sheet of paper grasped in his left band. Clearly there was a man who had fooled with A woman—and had himself beea fooled. But the man with the auburn hair has sympathy for even such fools as that. He approached the “Poor devil.”” A glance at close guar- ters and all the illusion was dispelled. In front of him was a man evidenily seriously ill. He placed his hand kindly on his shoulder and said *“Can 1 do anything for you ?”" I guess not,” said the *‘Poor devil,” but he said it in such a weak, thin, halting voice that the questioner said in a second “Now, I see that you realiy need assistance. Why are you sitting here 2’ “I am trying to get energy enough to go down there,’’ he replied in a half mechan- ical way, and he exhibited a circular which is sent ont to sufferers by the Hudson Medical Institute. “Let me help you,” said the man with the auburn hair. Really, that is all there is to the story! The fact that he was taken down 1o the great Hudson Medical Institute at the corner of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets; that there they found that it was merely a severe case of nervous debility, accompanied with the effects of blood- poisonirg which had occurred years be- fore; that they placed him under their wonderful “‘remedio-treatment”’ with their remarkable ‘‘Hudyan”; that he was cured in six weeks or two months and sent back to his home in Mendocino County when he had contemplated a trip to the other world by his own weak hand—these are all faces within the knowledge of every one who has heard the story. Butihat does not detract one whit from the state- ment that the man with the aubarg ba'r saved a man’s life; nor does it do more than add more testimony to the already well-admitted fact that the doctors of the Hudson Medical Institut2 de bring back vitality in every case which they under- take. This is so well understood by men about town that it is generally conceded that if Corbett wounld take a course of “Hudyan'’ he migat even get into condi- tion to fight again. While the Hudson doctors are willing to send circulars and testimonials—as they did to this “poor devil’’—they are not given to discussing prize-fighters, or, for that matter, talking aboutanybody, but, like most other people who don’t ‘‘1alk,” they do wonderful work.
