DECEMBER 31, 1896. 5 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, Ll R R reassembling Henry T. Oxnard of Grand Island, Nebr., president of the Beet-sugar Association of the United States, spoke in behalf of that indusuwy. He favored an additional dwety on sugars above No. 16 duties standard 1n color, to prevent the foreign refiners from entering their soft, refined sugars here at the same rate of duty as raw sugars of the same test, It was also recommended that an addi- tional discriminating duty be placed on all sugars coming from bounty-paying countries, with authority to the executive to reduce or increase this additional duty in such proportion as the bounty-paying countries may from time to time raise or lower their bounties. 1t was estimated that the average polari- zation of raw sugars imported into this country is about 92 degrees. Such sugars would pay 151 cents per pound, which would produce an annual revenue on this article of about $50,000,000, calculating upon importations of about 1,500,000 tons of dutiable sugars, which had been the average the past few years. The next speakers were Sbdlon Humphreys and J. Smith of New York. James D. Hiil of New Orleaus made an argument in bebalf of a committee of the American Cane-growing Association. He asked thav the rate pf duty on sugar under the act of 1883 be reimposed. Nothing less than that, he said, would be satisfactory. J. Hale Sypher, formerly of Lonuisiana, presented some additional facts in regard to the cane-sagar industry of ‘Louisiana, and gave it as the result of his experience and inquiries that the cost to the sugar trust of 1efining sugar did not exceed one quarter of a cent a pound, while in Louisi- ana the was about three-eighths of a cent. This, he added, did hot include waste. Solon Humphreys of New York made some additional remarks and inquired as to the cost of refining suear. Mr. McMillin asked whether refining in this country was not in the hands of the sugar trust. Mr. Humphreys showed a manifestjdisin- clination to go into the matter, saying that members of the committee knew as much about it as he did. F, B, Thurber of New York, president of the American Grocer Publishing Com- pany, spoke in behalf of the consumers, distributors and refineries of sugar in the United States. He said the consumers of France and Germany—the largest pro- ducers of sugar in the world—pay about 50 per cent more than those of the United States; but those countries protect their | sugar industries with a bounty, which enables them to dump their surplus on foreign markets at abnormally low prices, which have broken down the refining in- dustry in England, and but for our bar- rier of protective duties they would do the same for both our producing and refining industries. One feature, he said, should not be lost sight of: Any differential im- posed on the product of any country granting a bounty should only apoly to the refined product, and not the raw ma- terial required by our refineries. Mr. Thurber said that the distribution oi sugar by wholesale is now practically on the commission basis. The sugars are sold with the undersianding that a cer- tain commission—about 3-16 of 1 per cent—is paid to the wholesaler as his profit; and while the American Relining Company will sell sugar to any one at its lict price he cannot get the benefit of that three-sixieenths commission uuless he is bound by that agreement, the sugar-re- fining company requiring that ths sugar shall not be sold at less than the manu- facturers’ first price. | The payment of this commission is made in theform of a rebate when the sale is made, and those who deal in those goods have to make a statement before they can gei this rebate that they have not viclated their undertaking not to sell below the list price. Without this cer- tificate they do not get paid for handling the goods. He said, in answer to another question, that the present duty was not sufficient to protect the inaustry and to encourage the investment of additional capital. Years ago it was admitted that this country could not produce the sugar consumed here, Conditions, however, have changed.® The beet sugar industry could be developed in twenty States, and if the McKinley law had lasted for fifteen years, faciories would have been started in all these States, and the United States would produce all the sugar needed for home consumption. The question was asked if we could do this. He contended that we could. We have the climate and soil necessary and seven factories now running are producing 75,000,000 pounds of sugar annually. We were about the only civilized country noty producing its own sugar. In cane and beet sugar we are now producing about one-seventh of the amount consumed at home. In this connection he quoted from consular reports to show what we were paying abroad for sugar, and that we had sufficient territory to produce our own sugar if the industry was sufficiently pro- tected. The sugar-producersof the United States only needed fair protection to en- courage them to meet these conditions abroad—cheap labor and raw materials, bounties, e‘c. Germany was simply forc- ing the United States to defend a home industry, and within the last six months bad sent a representative to every beet- sugar factory in this country. He referred to the Hawalian treaty as a failure and a one-sided agreement which deprived us of much revenue. It wasa fraud upon its face and present conditions demanded its cancellation. It involved sugar, rice and other American products which were struggling for existence. The producers were not here to make ot sugeest a schedule for the American Re- fining Company, nor were they here to antagonize it. The company did not em- ploy an army of laborers, and the protec- tion which would satisfy it would not be requisite for our producers. The produc- ersrequired a duty high enouch to place them on a plane with foreign cumpetition. Owing to the financial condition it might Dot be wise to renew the law of 1890, but the suggestion of 1883 seemed feasible. He favored a duty and a bounty on sugar. Such a schedulc properly adjusted could be made as nearly fair to all inter- ests as possible, jeopardizing none. It could be made to yiela more revenue, out of which the bounty could be paid, while it would offer sufficient protection and adequate encouragement to develop the domestic industry. He would give all sugars of 75 test and under 1 cent per pound, with 3-100 cents additional for each degree or fraction thereof above 75 and below 96 test by polariscope, and 4-100 cents for cach degree and fraction, thereof above 96 test, The McKinley bill raie on molass should prevail. On all sugars above 16, Dutch standara in color and testing over 96, make u differential rate of }{ of a ecent instead of 4 of a cent per pound, with a countervailing duty 10 meet any foreign import bounty, the same to be tentative and to go off when and ii export bounties are repealed. Tken to further protect, and especially to encourage the protec- tion of domestic sugar, to attract to that industry additional capital, he would from the duty on sugar pay our domestic producers 3 of a cent per pound on all sugars testing not less than 90 degrees produced from beets, cane. or sorghum grown in the United States. 1f thought desirable 3£ cent of the bounty could go off at the expiration of every four years, making it 4 cent afier four years, the en- tire bounty to cease in twelve years, which he claimed was the unexpired bal- ance of the obligation incurred by the Government toward her home-sugar pro- ducers in the McKinley tariff of 1890. To this schedule he would add a pro- vision with regard to sngars from nations imposing unreasonable restrigtions or ex- actions and refusing to enter into recipro- cal agreement for a free and fair exchange of products, for duties of from 30 to 50 per cent above the standard specifics; or, instead of that, apply to suck nations the provisions of the so-called Kerr bill, minus the tea and coffee clause, or the Hopkins bill. Such a schedule would re- turn on the basis of our imports of duti- able sugars under 16 Dutch standard for the year 1896 about $69,000,000. This schedule would give only fair protection and sufficient encouragement for an in- crease of domestic sugar. It would not materially increase the price of sugar and it would allow it to play its partin the policy of reciprocity. We would get at least §$15,000,000 more of revenue from sugars and would be aiding the domestic product at a critical time. Thomas R. Cutter of Utah spoke of the detrimental effects of the Hawaiian treaty, resulting, he said, in this country paying rebates to the contract labor of that country. If we made our own sugar we would give employment to some 250.000 men annually and retain here about $125,000,000 per annum. Utah, he said, felt to a certain extent the hand of the sugar trust. As soon as the Utah producers went into their own market the San Francisco sugar trust reduced prices. In this matter the home producers had to contend with the free Hawaiian product. R. M. Allen of Nebraska asked for a schedule which would encourage our tarmers and not give foreigners a mon- opoly of our marget. The farmers of Ne- braska would be materially assisted if beet-growing could be made profitable and they were ready and anxious to enter into this industry. Among the wriiten arguments presented to the Committee on Ways and Means to- day was one by Senator George C. Perkins of California in favor of the imposition of a specific tax of 14 cents per pound on imported raw sugars. He showed that the consumption of imported sugar by the United States is about 1,700,000 tons a year, all of which can, if the sugar interest is protected, be produced in a few years within our borders. He showed that the area capable of producing beet sugar was sufficient to more than supply the demand of the United States, and that sugar beets can be raised on soil ranging in character from the alkali plains of the Pecos River in Utah to tbe rich soil of California. He pointed out the fact that France alone produced sugar beets enough fo manu- facture all the sugar that we import and that Germany is a still greater producer of sugar of this character. Austria is a large producer. But these countries have protected this interest so that it has been enabled to increase to its present vast dimensions, and now these same countries are increasing the bounties and duties in order to protect their re- spective producers against the comoetition of other European beet-sugar countries. The sugar producers of the United States are thus forced into competition with the protected suear of Europe and for this protected sugar are paying out nearly $100,000,000 per year. This suin, he argued, should be retained in the United States and paid oat to our own laborers, farmers and mechanics. Adjourned until fo-morrow. CONTRARY TO THE STATUTE. Peculiar Case From Montana Promptly Dismissed by the United States Supreme Court. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 30.—A case was docketed in the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday the record of which disclosed an entirely new ground of offense in the State of Montana, and which, if it had been held to be a crime, would bave resulted in the speedy de- population of that flourishing common- wealth. On the 27th of April last T. A. Steele, a peace officer in Lewis and Clark County, appeared before C. F. Gaze, a Justice of the Peace in Helena Township, and made complaint against one Yot Sang, that “‘on or about the 24th of April, 1896, he did with force and arms, carry on a business, for the carrying on of which a license is required by law of this State, to wit: the laundry business, other than a steam laundry, said Yot Sang being a male per- son, all of which is contrary to the form of the siatute in such cases made and pro- vided, and against the peace and dignity of the State of Montana.” ‘When the Judges realized the possibili- ties of the situation as defined in that complaint, that ‘“being a male person” was ‘‘contrary to the statute in such case made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the State of Mentana,” tbey promptly dismissed Yot Sang, and now J. H. Jurgens, Sheriff of the county, Irom whose custody he was released on a writ of habeas corpus, wants the Superior Court of the United States to raview the judgment of the District Court for that State and to pass upon the constitution- ality and validity of the statute pleaded, which requires a license for operating a hana laundry, but does not require one for a steam laundry. b, Coast Patents and Pensions.

C., Dec. 30.—The Navy Department bas made the twenty- fourth payment of §90,300 to the Cramps on the battleship Iowa. Altogether thirty payments are to be made on the vessel, of which the final three are reserved untll after the acceptance by the navy of the vessel. She will therefore be turned over to the Government when the twenty- seventh payment js made. The twenty- fifth instaliment will be due about the middle of January. WEDS ILLINOIS GOVERNOR-ELECT Miss Cora English Becomes the Wife of John R. Tanner. Every County in the State Has a Representative at the Ceremony. She It Was Who Prompted Him to Make the Race for the Ex- ecutive Chair. SPRINGFIELD, Irn, Dec. 30.—St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral was crowded with society and political folk at high noon to-day, when Governor-elect John R. Tanner and Miss Cora Engiish stood be- fore the altar and plighted their troth. The marriage took place after the ritual of the Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. Freder- ick W. Taylor officiating and Bishop George F. Seymour pronouncing the bless- ing and benediction, Twelve hundred invitations had been is- sued, and the congregation or audience represented every county in the State and many outside commonwealths. TLe bride’'s toilet was of pure white mir- rored velour, with short pointed bodice edged with embroidered mull, frills of the same material edging the high, close collar. About the shoulders and at the throat the bodice was sprayed witn lilies of the valley. The sleeves, which came down to the knuckles, were close fitting to the shoulder, while the skirt was perfectly plain and with a train three yards in length, Miss Mollie Katherine Stuve was maid of honor and Miss Edith English Buck served as flower girl. The ushers were Messrs. English and Willoughby Walling, Henry Walker, George Pastield, Harry Dorwin and Louis Miner. After the church ceremony there was a small wedding breakfast at the residence of the bride’s father, and the Governor- eleci and his bride then left for a short Southern wedding trip. They will return a few days prior to the inauguration. Governor-elect Tanner’s marriage to-day is his second venture on the sea of matri- mony, his first wife, by whom he haschil- dren now married, having died several years ago. The bride of to-day is the daughter of Turney English of this city, and has been one of the queens of belle- dom. She belongs to one of the oldest families in the United States, which traces its ancestry by noted men and women back through Virginia and Maryland his- tory to old England. With American history the family has been identified since 1600. Among her near relatives are Governor Peter Turney of Tennessee, Judee Hoke of Louisville and General Daniel McClure, formerly as- sistant postmaster-general of the army. She was closely related to the late W. H. English of Indiana, nominee for Vice- President on the ticket headed by General Hancock; the late Dr. Norvin Green, pres- ident of the Western Union Teiegraph Company, and the late General J. B. Frye, United States army, whose death occurred recently. A spice of romance attaches to tne wed- ding from the fact that it was the bride who first prompted in him the ambition which led to his becoming a candidate for Governor. NO PLACE FUK ARMENIANS, The Canadian Government Discourages a Colonization Scheme, NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 30.—A Sun special from Ottawa says: A proposal was recently submitted to the Dominion Government to bring out Armenians to settle on land in the Canadian Northwest. The British Government last week cabled the Governor-General here to know what the Canadian Government had decided to do in the matter, and a meeting of the Cabinet was held to deal witk¥it. Yesterday a dispatch was sent to Joseph Chamberlain that the scheme could not be entertained, as the Canadian Government had no funds from which the Armenians might be assisted, and that it was consid- ered impossible to grant lands in a block for settiement. It was also held that in view of the climatic differences, 1t would not be in the interests of the Armenians to bring them to the Canadian Northwest. . NOTABLE CAREER ENDED, Death of Captain Charles R. Harris at West Hoboken, N. oJ. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 30.—Captain Charles R. Harris, a well-known resident of West Hoboken, N. J., died Monday night from a complication of diseases. He was born in Connecticut in 1835. He be- came a sailor when 16 years old on tha steamer Contest. At the outbreak of the war he entered the navy and was made a second lieutenant. He served on the Monitor and took part in the storming of Fort Fisher and the capture of Charles- ton. At the close of the war ke entered the service of the Pacific Mail Company and commanded the :Colorado, plying be- tween 8an Francisco and t:fl)ngkong. Later he commanded the Argonian. In 1876 he became captain of one of the Nor- wich Transportation Company’s boats, He leaves a widow and two sons, e g a T Jowa Silverites Hold a Conference. DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 30.—Repre- sentatives of the Democratic free-silver forces of all the counties in the State rounded up at the Hotel Bavoy yesterday morning for a general conference concern- ing the condition of the party and to dis- cuss plans for maintaining and solidify- ing it during the next four years. Talks with the delegates indicate that so far from the resuit of the election having thrown a wet blanket on the free-silver movement in Iowa, they are determined to maintain the organization and to force the issue in every Congressional and other election to take place during the ensuing three years. Plans will also be discussed for reconciling the two factions ot the Democrats and for a fusion beiween the Populists and the Silver Democrats. The Populists, however, have given it out flat- footed that they are not prepared togive up their distinct organization. AR Deed of a helig Mantac. NORWICH, Coxx., Dec. 30.—While suf- fering froma religious mania, Isaac Doug- lass, a farmer of Voluntown, attempted to kill his'son, who is about 30 years old, by striking bim on the head with an ax, making four wounds on his head. He then built a tire, and was making prepara- tions to burn his own body and that of his son when neighbors broke into the house and rescued them botb. The son is not expected to live. The elder Douglass claims he was inflnenced by a spirit to kil his son and himself. He will be com- mitted to an in asylum. —_— Dying Request Written in Blood. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 30.—John Schang committed suicide yesterday by cutting his throat. His wife found him with his head almost severed, but he was still alive. Not being able to speak he dipped a pen in his blood and wrote out a request for morphine with which to end his sufferings. He then became uncon- scious and died. He was 62 years old. Poverty and illness had made despondent. B T e ARCHBISHOP FABRE DEAD. The Eminent Prelate Succumbs to Cancer of the Liver—A Long Life in the Ministry. MONTREAL, Queskc, Dec. 30.—Arch- bishop Fabre, the head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Moantreal, died shortly after 11 o’clock to-day from cancer of the liver. He was 69 years old. Charles Edward Fabre, Canadian Roman Catholic Bishop, was born in Montreal on February 28, 1827. At the age of 9 he was sent to the College of St. yacinthe, where he remained until 1843, After spending two years in Paris he en- tered the ecclesiastical seminary of Issy. In 1846 he visited Italy, obtained an audi- ence with the Pope and returned to Can- ada. He was ordained priest February 23, 1850, and stationed as curate iu Souel. On October 30, 1852, he was appointed pastor of Pointe-Claire, where he exercised his ministry for two years. He was then summoned to Montreal and became distincuished as a pulpit ora- tor, also for his influence among_the stu- dents of the city, his lectures and retreats baving wrought a marked change among the medical students. He made a second visit {o Rome in 1569, at the time of the Vatican council, and theuce went to Belgium to study the ueihod of articulation in use in the deaf and dumb asylums. He afterward turned bis experience to account in the institu- tion that he founded in Montreal. On April 1, 1873, he was consecrated Bishop of Gratianopolis and coadjutor of Mon- treal. He was appointed Bishop of Mon- treal May 11, 1876, and in 1886, the diocese of Montreal having been erected into an archiepiscopal see, Dr. Fabre became the first Archbishop on June 8. —_————— JAMAICA FRUIT IN LOKDON. An Experimental Sale the Result of Which May in Time Affect California Shippers. LONDON, Exc., Dec. 30.—@arcia, Jacobs & Co. conducted the sale at the Covent Garden market to-day of an experimental cargo of Jamaica fruit, which arrived by the steamer Port Victor. The sale at- tracted crowds of buyers both of London and from the country. The offerings in- cluded 2000 boxes of oranges, of which one-third was unsuitable, but the remain- der was of excellent quality and averaged from 6s to 10s perhundred. About half of the bananas were in bad conaition, bring- ing only from bsto 8sa bunch, whereas they ought to have fetched from 10s to 20s per bunch had they been in good oreer. The steamer Eiderslie also brought a cargo from Jamaica, but the fruit was con- demned as being unfit for use through de- fective cooling on board the ship. The general opinion as to tie result of the sale 1s that there is no doubt as to the success of the venture of bringing Jamaica fruit for sale in the London market when it arrives in sound condition. About 300 boxes of the Eiderslie's oranges were found to be in sound condi- tion and were sold at from 9s 6d to 17s 6d per box. Riverside oranges sold at from 15s to 22s per box and were adjudged as excellent in condition and quality. s Lty 5 DEADLY PLAGUE IN INDIA, Its Frightful Revages Cause a Panic Among the People. LONDON, Exa. Dec. 30.—The Bombay correspondent of the Daily Mail reports that the bubonic plague is spreading rap- idly and is exnc:“ aah fear. The offi- cial figures show'™ were 177 new: cases and 130 deattis from the disease dur- ing the past two days. These figures, however, are misleading, owing to the in- accuracy of the native doctors, and the number of new cases was probably con- siderably in excess of the official returns, The death rate is stated to be extremely high. Two hundred thousand natives have fled from the city and the panic is spreading. Special trains have been put on the rail- ways for the use of r:fugees, and these are crammed with people seeking to escape attack by thedisease. The European resi- dents have so far remaired in the city, but they are geiting anxious. [t is doubtful whetber any Europeans have fallen vic- tims to the piague. The commercial in- terests combine to stifle the facts regard- ing the ravages of the disease. s st ZTHOUSANDS SWINDLED. Two American Siarpers Wanted by the Mewican Authorities. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., Dec. 30.—A sensation has been caused here by reports in the newspapers that two Americans, named Hurley and Kastle, who had estab- lishea hundreds of watch clubs through- out the republic, have defrauded 7000 sub- scribers to the extent of $300,000, and that application for the extradition of both men, who are now believed to be in the United States, would be made. Hurley once lived in Austin, Tex., but it is believed that he traded under his wife’s name. She, while here, held a high social position. Kastle lived in various piaces in the United States, and was once ticket agent in this city of the Mexican Central Raiiway. —_———— THE PHILIPPINE REVOLT. Execution of a Leader—Reports of an Engagement. MAN (LA, Dec. 30.—Dr. Missal, who is asserted to have been the promoter of the revolt against Spanish authority in the Philippine Islands, and who was some time szince returned from Manila from Barcelona at the request of the military Judge, was shot'on the 28th inst. An engagement between the Spanish forces and rebels in the vicinity of Puinac resulted in the defeat of the insurgents, who, it is said, lost 360 men killed. The date of the engagement is not given. — PROBATE LE:TERs ISSUED. Estate of the Late Archbizhop of Canter- bury Valued at $250,000. LONDON, Exa., Dec. 30.—Letters of pro- bate have been issued on the estate of the late Edward White Benson, the ninety- third Archbishop of Canterbury, who dropped dead in the parish church of Hawarden on October 11 last. Th= value of the estate 18 sworn at nearly $250,000. Dr. Benson was comparatively poor when he was ngpo(nlnd Primate of all England, and the estate that he leaves represents his savings out of a total in- come from salaries and fees aggregating 75,000 per year. The only heirs are Mrs. ary nson, the widow, and his son, Arthur C. Benson of Eton College. The estate is left to these intact, there being no public or private bequests. e Of Great International Intereat. BERNE, SwrrzertAxp, Dec. 30.—The Swiss Federal Council to-day rendered a decision in the matter of the- arbitration claims of the French merchant and ship owner, M. Fabiani, against Venezuela. Fabiani asserted that President Blanco ruined him, and his claims for indemnity were submitted to the Swiss confedera- tion in 1891. The award promulgated by the Federal Council ro-day says that Venezuela must y Tabiani 4,316,656 francs. The decision solves a great many points affecting the rights of nations, and the document is expected to be of the highest order of international value, SHOUTS HIS WIF N A COURTROOM Sensational Incident in a St, Louis Divorce Suit. The Frenzied Husband Causes a Panic Before He Is Dis- armed. Turns the Weapon Upon an Uncle of the Weman and Tries to Kill Himself. e 8T. LOUIS, ILL., Dec. 30.—One of the most sensational scenes ever enacted in a courtroom here took place to-day. Jacob Kischel shot his wife in the courtroom and then attempted to kill her uncle as well as shoot himself. The room was crowded at the time, and the scattering of spectators was very active for about five m inutes. The troublée between Fischel and his wife has been of long standing. He was jealous of her, and when divorce pro- ceedings were brought, he mnot only threatened her life, but said that he would kill himself before she got a cent out of him. No attention was paid to him, and it was believea that he would not execute his threats. To-day when the matter came up in court the first thing the Judge did was to make an order that Fischel pay his wife alimony. Fischel first turned red and then white. With a quick movement to his hip pocket he faced the Judge and his wife. In an instant a pistol was gleaming in his hand and pointed directly at his wife. “Look out! He is going to shoot!” cried a bystander. The courtroom bailiff rushed toward Fischel. - He was too late, however, for Fischel fired, and in the blinding flash which followed Mrs. Fischel was seen to stagger and then fall to the floor. Fischel rushed over to her and shot her again. His wife’s uncle then claimed his at- tention and with an oath he shot in his direction. By this time every one was climbing over benches and trying to get out of range. Judge Wood left his seat and got behind a cabinet. When the uncle had escaped Fischel turned the pistol on himself. He was finally overpowered and the weapon taken away from him. The wife's wounds are serious and it is believed that she will not survite. EXPELLED FOR FRAUD. A Bucket-Shop Broker Thrown Out of the New York Stock Ex- . change. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 30.—William Euclid Young was expelled from the New York Stock Exchange by formal vote of the governing committee’ at the conclu- sion of a session which lasted from 3:30 until 7:30 o’clock to-night. Forty out of forty-two of the members of the commit- tee were present and the vote was said to have been unanimous. The charge was frand. The charge was in reality against the firm of E. B, Cuthbert & Co., stockbrokers at 30 Broad street. The Stock Exchange authorities dealt with the member of the firm who was a memkber of the exchange. Mr. Young was the partner in the firm who belonged to the exchange, ' He with- drew from the firm on December 22, but that did not relieve him from the charge. The original complaint against Cuth- bert & Co. was three months ago. A spe- cial committee from the governing com- mittee was appointed to investigate the business methods of the firm. The com- mittee suspected Cuthbert & Co. of em- ploying buckert-shop methods, or, in other words, of reporting to customers that they had purchased and sold stocks ac- cording to orders, when in fact they had made no transactions whatever. The committee discovered evidence that an ar- rangement had been made with Jacob Kirkner, a broker of 24 New street. i ety MARE ISLAND SUPPLIES.

RS SAN DIEGO FAILS 10 SCORE. Berkeley’s Football Team FEasily De- feats the Southerners. SAN DIEGO, Car., Dec. 30.—Berkeley defeated San Diego at football this aiter- noon by a score of 48 to 0. The university boys were in fine condition and bandled the San. Diegos with ease, preventing them from approaching the goal or even securing a temporary advantage. Ran- some. (fullback) and Hall (quarter) did pbrilliant work for the visitors running around ends, Ransome did not equal Schulenburg of San Diego in his goal-kicking. Schulen- burg rather excelled Ransome in putting also. The catching by the university boys wis very good, but their best work was in in- terference. This they bad down to such a fine point that they carried the pigskin into the enemy’s ground almost as they liked, though occasionally meeting strong opposition. The Berkeleys formed a line, composed of their best men, and this line marched straight through the enemy’s line, guarding the man with the ball. San Diego did several clever plays that won approbation from the talented young men of the university. Both sides played clean football and the biz crowd was well satisfied with the outcome, believing that San Diego did well to keep within gun- shot of the giants who confronted them. Berkelev averaged 165 in weight and San Diego 152. TR Ot Confident He Will Whip Corbett. CHICAGO, IrL., Dec. 30.—Bob Fitzsim- mons passed through here to-day, on his way to New York.
