Carelessness on the Part of Btockton’s Street Department. STOCKTON, CAL., Jan. 7.—Recently the city appropriated money to extend the vermanent bulkhead about Stockton channel, which is to this city whatthe seawall is to San Frauncisco.

City Trustees WIll Seele Relief Through the Legislature. FRESNO, CAL,, Jan. 7.—At their megpt- ing to-night the City Trustees passed a resolution soliciting the active support of Senator A. J. Pedlar and Assembiymen Moultire and Cartwright to a measure to relieve the business men in municipalitics from paying county licenses. This action was taken in response to a circular letter sent out by the clerks of .a number of municinalities in the northern part of the State. The Fresno trustees de- clare thut they believe an injustice is now being imposed upon persons doing bn: ness in incorporated towns and cities through the coliection of large sums of money for county licenses, thereby divert- ing revenue to county uses which by right should be applied to municipal improve- ment. ILOST THEIR LIVES 10 SAVE OTHERS Heroic Work of an Eng- lish and a Mexican Miner. Through Smoke and Flames They Struggle to Rescue Their Comrades. Return to the Eurning Mine After Being Safely Hoisted to the Surface. SAN DIEGO, Car, Jan. 7.—Heroism, such as is read about but seldom met with in every-day life, was shown at the Santa Gertrudis mine at Pachuca in the early morning of December 31. Ned Richards, an Knglishman, was the hero, and through his efforts to save the lives of others he lost his own life. The night shift was just about to go off duty and a number of the men had already reached the cage when a terrific explosion occurred back in one of the drifts, Severai men, who were between the fire and the cage, ran up, and others could be heard shouting for help further back. Ned Richards was among those who could have escaped easily. Hastily calling two of the boys to his assistance, he ran back, braving the smoke and flame, and saved a Mexican who was fainting in the drift. They dgagged him to the cage, and then a number cf others running up, it was thought that all were accounted for and the men all went 1o the top. The roaring of the fire could be heard in the Jower levels and great volumes of smoke began to fill the shalt. The foreman procured his book and checked off the names of the men. All answered to their names except four. Then, in spite of the awful danger, Ned Richards offered to be one to go below acain and get the four missing men. Three Mexicans stepped forward and volunteered to accompany him. They jumped into the cage and were logered down. Two of them went to their death— Ned Richards and an unknown Mexican. The four men, when they reached the level where the fire was raging. got out and made aquick search as best they could for the missing men. Bat the fire, feeding on gases released by the explo- sion, filled all the empty spaces and forced the men back to the cage. Ned Richards made a gallant attempt to pene- trate into cne of the drifts, and was over- come with the fumes of gas and smoke. He failed to return and the unknown Mexican went after hifo. He found the Englishman lying unconscious and dragged him to the cage, but was in turn overcome. The others gave the signal and were hoisted up. Richards, before he died, said he would rather die than to see his comrades die like rats without any effort to save them He and the unknown Mexican died within a few minutes after being raised to the surface. It was learned afterward that eleven, and not four men, were in the mine. The deaths were therefore thirteen. At the mouth of the mine the relatives of the ing men gathered, and there were sights of piteous sufferinz and anguish. ot 7 ek GENERAL NEGKETE'S FUNERAL, Remains eof the Aged Warrior Laid to Rest With Great Pomp. SAN DIiEGO, Car., Jan. 7.—The funeral of General Migue! Negrete,which occurred in the City of Mexico Sunday morning, was one of unusual pomp. President Diaz, who had occa-ion during his early service in the army to see General N grete’s superb military skill, personelly attended the funeral of the aged warrior. Several military companies with bands and arms reversed attended the funeral, and all the honors paid to a high ofticer were given to the deceased, Major-General Negrete was 78 years of age. He fought valiantly against the Americans in 1847, and was wounded at Luena Vista. After the war he served under Santa Anna. Later he served under Genersl Miramon as chief of infaniry. When the triple squadron arrived at Vera Cr_z General Negrete offered his services to President Juarez, and was appointed to take command of the forces on the hijls of Loreto and Guadaloupe, at the City of Puebla, in company with Zaragoza. Gen- eral Forey’s superior numbers forced him | to surrender. When President Juarez was threatened with death at Monterey, General Negrete foiled a piot to assassinate him, and was made Minister of War. He served in ! many battles, and always was found at the tront at a fight. In recent years ad- vancing age compelled retirement, though the grim cold general never became de- crepit until last September, when his fatal iliness became apparent. —— JENSEN AND HIS CREW. The Guano-Poachers Keceive Fair Treat- ment at Ensenada. SAN DIEGO, Caw, Jan. 7.—Through the active efforts of the State Department Captain E. Jensen and his crew of the schooner Ellen have received very fair treatment at Ensenada. They were cap- tured early in December av Elida Islana while poaching guano that belongs to the English company operating on the penin- sula. The Mexican Government is bound to protect the Engiishmen in their con- cession, and so sent a steamer against the smugglers. Jensen and his crew of two men were captured and the schooner confiscated. Recently Captain Jensen has been ad- mitted to bail, his iiberty, however, ex- tending to the town of Ensenada only. McAllister and Anderson, his sailors, were discharged and ure now here. Jensen now has hopes of recovering his vessel through the payment of a smali fine et e nag ANEW RAILEROAD PROJECT.

Will Operate Sireetcars, Factories and Sawmills—Thirty Men Put to Work on lts Construction. SANTA CRUZ, Cav., Jan. 7.—The Big Creek Power Company has received four carloads of machinery and material to be used in construction work that will result in the practical duplication of the plant. There will be erected . the necessary switchboard and step-down transformers for a station here that is intended for fur- nishing electric power for the Santa Cruz streetcar system, on a ten years’ contract. The new plant will also turnish power for manufactories. A sawmill will be erected on Big Green Ridge for the manufacture of lumber to be used in the construciion of a large im= pounding reservoir to hold a supply of water that will run the plant for four months in event of a break at any time in the main flume that carries the natural supply. This impounded supply will also increase the present power of the plant, which, however, is sufficient for the double system. Thirty men have just been put to work building adam for the reservoir and the necessary foundations for the new power-house. The wire and insulators for the dupli- cate main line from Big Creek to Santa Cruz have arrived. The present under- taking is to be completed and ready for operation of the car system by March 1. enry Willey is bresident and: Fred Swanton, which now furnishes power for the Santa Cruz Electric Light Com pany. s CERTIFICATES 4D DIPLOMAS.

Switzer Apparently in the Lead. Glse and Mandolin Clubs R-turn Out of Pocket, but With Much Experience. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Jan. 7.—One of the most interesting political battles that has taken place in university volitics for some time is now in progress and the outcome will be decided to-mor- row. The contest is over the office of | manager of the Varsity football team of ’97, and the candidates are John M. Switzer '98, T. M. Storke ’98, and F. V. Keesling '98, The election of football manazer is one of the duties of the ath- letic committee, and President Pomeroy, who is chairman, bas called a meeting of the committee to-morrow afternoon to perform this function. The athletic committee is composed of one member from each of the four classes, four members elected from the student body at iarge and in addition the managers of the Varsity football, baseball and track teams. Dave Brown’97 holds the offices of botb football manager and track man- ager and thereby has the right to exercise two votes. The contest will undoubtedly be very close, probably hinging upon the vote of one man. The candidatss are all prominent in student circles and in student body poli- tics. John M. Switzer, who seems to be" {in the lead, has beld several important offices. Last year he was business mana- | ger of the Sequoia, and during the pres- ent year be held the office of manager of the freshman football team and assistant football manager, thereby iecoming iders ufied with the football interests of tne upiversity, Keesling and Storke are the opponents of Switzer, and their interests will probably be combined by the with- drawal of one or the other before the elec- tion. Frank V. Keesiing is one of the most popular men in the junior class, having been president of his class when a freshman and being at present editor-in- { chief of tbe Junior Annual. T. M. Storke is also a junior and has ceen prominent in | ms-class as manager of the class’s athletic | teams several times. This is his first entry in student boay poiitics. Tae glee and mandolin clubs returned to the university late this afternoon, hav- ing given their last concert at Sacramento belore a good house last evening. The boys are much used up, the trip naving een a very hard and wearisome one. Treasurer F. W. Morrison, who accom- panied the club as manager, siated that the trip had been made at a loss. *The expenses of the trip,” he said, | ““will be in excess of $2000, while the act- | ual receipts are only in the neighborhood | of $15)0, making a loss of $5J0 or there- | Abouts.” Before the clubs left the executive com- mittee of the student body, foreseeing 1he | probable result, required eack membar of the clubs making ine trip to deposit with the treasurer their personal notes for $25 | to cover any possible loss on the trip. As twenty-three men were taken on the trip these notes amply insure the student body agamnst any loss. The clubs, how- ever. nave the privilege of giving concerts in the neighboring towns until April 15 1o reimburse themseive:. Tne clubs had good houses in Seattle, Astoria, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Marys- ville ana Sacramento. The auaiences in Tacoma, Olympia and Vancouver, Wash., and Oregon City, Or., were small. Ta- coma only gave the clubs as their share $42. The receipts in none of the towns | reached the estimates of the musical men. The social part of the trip was very en joy: Iaule. the men being everywhere treaied with the greatest consideration. Bal.s, pariies and hops were frequent. Allalong their route they met friends who did their utmost to make the trip a pleasant one. In Portlandg they were enteriained by the | Stanford University Club, under whose | auspices the Portland concert was given. The concert given by the clubs was praised everywhere for the merit aud high quality of their music, and in this resnect the trip was an unqualified success Tne specialty work of Cuarles J. Dilion and F. B. Riley and_the solos of P. E. Abbott re- ceived especial praise, and added much to | the success of the concerts. The clubs | are in fine shape now, and will give a re- turn concert on the campus on January 15. | REWS OF LOS ANGELES. Bar Association Adopts Amendments to the Proposed Changes in the Judiciary Act. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Jan. 7.—The Bar Association to-day adoptea amendments to the proposed changes in the juliciary act from the San Francisco bar.

D. Works and J. A. Anderson, to confer with the other Association committees and ‘urge the matter in the Legislature.

Other changes of less iml‘po"m“ were embodiea in the report.

IDAHO'S SENATURIAL CONTEST. Democrats and Populists Still Unable to Pool Th-ir Issues. SALT LAKE, Urax, Jan. 7.—There are no new developments in the Senatorial contest in Idaho. The Democrats and Populists have been holding informal caucuses all day with a view of patching up their differences, but 80 far, it appears without success: The Populists until to- day were t ¢ leaders in an effort to un- reat two members of the Legislature who are ardent supporters of Dubois, and the fact of their practically withdrawing from the contest is attributed to their de- sire to bring the Democrats to terms by strengthening the Dubois supporters. The Dubois men are working strennously and appear very confident declaring that he will be elected on the first ballot. The Democrats claim 30 votes for Johnson on the first ballot, 36 votes necessary to a choice. CLOSING IN ON WEYLER.* Gomez Follows Weyler's Example and 0:ders Over One Hundred Pris- oners Shot. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Jan. 7.—Al- though the steam tug Dauntless is in the custody of an officer of the revenue cutter Boutwell as a result of her last trip, from which she raturned Monday night, her owner this morning applied for clearance papers for the steamer to go to Nuevitas, Cuba, with a cargo of arms and ammuni- tion. Deputy Collector Hopkins, wno is in charge of the officse during the absence of Coliector Bisbee, refused to grant the clearance until authorized to do so by the Secretary of the Treasury. Secretary Car- lisle has ordered the Collector to refuse clearance untii further orders. The officers of the Dauntless still deny that they have been to Cuba. All that can ‘be gotten from them is that they transferred the men and cargo taken from No Name Key to another vessel, presum- ably the Bermuda. LONDON, Exg, Jan. 7.—The Times will to-morrow puulish a dispatch from its Havana correspondent dated January 6. In it, he says he learns from a private and generally trustworthy source, that Anto- nio Maceo, who was reported to have been killed through treachery at Punta Brava, is still alive. He is severely wounded, but is makine favorable progress toward recover The correspondent adds that he, himself, thiuks it unlikely that Maceo is alive, but says that it isnot improbable. He also says that the return of Captain-General Weyler to Havana without forcing the rebels in Pinardel Rio to surrender may be regarded as proof of his failure. It is officially reportel that Gomez, with a large force of rebels, is in the province of Santa Clara advancing westward. The insurgents completely destroyed the town of Baiano, province of Havana, January 4. ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 7.—The Constitu- tion nas a dispaich from Key West which says that General Gomez has begun work of reprisal against the Spaniards. In an attack upon the Central trocha near Moron he captured the Spanish garrison at Iagoaville of 114 men. They were noti- fied that, according to the precedent set by their own Government, they should prepare for their fate. They were given an opportunity of writ- Ing messages to their friends in Spain, and then in groups of twenty-five they were shot to death. Weyler’s announce- ment of the pacification of Pinar del Rio does not stand. He left over 2000 in- surgents in the province. He took additional soldiers from the military cordon to Havana to demonsirate that there were no insurgents there, when as soon as he removed them Cuban Gen- erals Rauol, Arago and Castilla marched into the province of Pinar del Rio from Havana with 3000 more men to re-enforce the 5000 already there. ? This all goes to brove how much confi- dence can be placed in the statements of Wegyler as to the attitude of the Cubans. They are not afraid of the Spanish and not one man has surrendered in the prov- ince of Pinar del Rio. The Spanish have recently establisbed a military zone around the city of Havana, including & space of five miles on all sides tor the purpose of cnltivation for the existence of the people of that city, which shows still further to what ends they are ariven, and how little sympathy and support they can depend upon from the surroand- ing country; also that they are daily los- ing ground, and so hard pressed are they that this is all they can call their own and that has to b2 maintained by a mili- tary cordon from the attacks of the in- surgents. —_—_— NEW TO-D. It’s an old custom that of bracing up- the sys- tem at the beginning of every spring with tonics and all sort of medicines. The new way to insure all the year round strength and vigor is to drink Cocoa. Scientific tests show it to contain more strengthening properties than any other beverage; more even than almost any of the common solid foods. Ghirardelli’s Cocoa leads all others.
