T0 ARBITRATE WITH HAWA Official Confirmation of the Proposed Action of Japan. But the Acquiescenca Is Said to Be Conditional and May Be Withdrawn, Officlals of the Mikado’s Realm De- sire It Clearly Stated What Is to Be Arbltrated. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.—Official information by telegraph irom Tokio to the Japanese legation confirms the recent Yokohama cablegram to THE CALL that Japan bad consented to arbitrate with Hawaii. But acquiescence is conditional, and it is not absolutely certain that an ar- bitration agreement will be made. The telegram to the legation said that Japan had consented ‘to arbitrate pending ques- tions with Hawail on terms specified in a commaunication now on ils way from Japan to its Minister at Honolulu. That is all the- officials at the legation know of the mitter, bui they consirue the telegram to mean that Japan is willing to arbitrate, but desires to have it clearly stated in advance what is to be arbitrated, the method to be employed and the name ot the arbitrators. The offer of the Ha- waiian Minister 'of Foreign Affairs was a general proposition te submit the pend- ing différences to arbitration, giving no explicit ‘idea. of what is to be arbitrated. The agreement_of the Japanese and Ha- wailan governiments to arbitrate will have nodirect bearing on the points atissue vetween the United States and Japan. There is no - doubr, .hewever, of Japan showing a_kindly spirit throughout the whole Hawaiian business and the officials of this Government are hopeful the clouds will soon clear away. Ihe statement of the Associated Press that officials had assured the Japanese Minister that they would not assume any authority in the present controversy and that the Minister thereupon informed the officials that Japan would send four war- ships to Hawaii: is pronounced utterly Ialse.

FATAL William Bowler Shockingly Burned and Mutilated. OGDEN, Uran, July 30.—This morning 2n-explosion occurred in one of the houses of ‘the old Uiah Powder Company in ‘Ogden Canyon and wh ch are now the property of the California Powder Works, by which William Bowler los: his life. Bowler had goié up the canyon to catch fish for breakfast and at 5 o’clock stepped into the old house, where powder had not been made for twelve years, for what pur- pose no one knows.

A Close Canvass of the Full-Harvest Farms of the Great Hiddle West. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 30.—After traveling over 7500 miles of Western rail- roads to personally study their condi- tions, President Ingalls of the Big Four and Chesapeake and Ohio roads said to- night: “Not in the memory of the oldest in- habitant of the Middle West has there been such a crop of hay. The wheat crop, while not as large, is of 2s fine a quality as ever produced. Of corn there will be anabundance and ofoats galore. Fat cattle in demand and hogs are bringing zood prices. “During the past four years pleniy of business has becn done. The trouble has bzen men got little or nothing for doing business. Now then, if the farmer, who is the source of all production, has some- thing to sell, and if he gets a fair price for it, and thus be able to pay a fair price for what he wants, money will be put. in circulation according to natural law, and according to the same natural law pros- perity must follow. ‘‘As if nature had taken particular com- passion on the distress of our people, the wheatfields of other countries, which have usually borne abundant harvests, have this year failed to bear crops of any size, of crops that have promised well have been visited by a blight of some kind., If the world is to have any wheat this year the granaries of the United States must supply 1t. ““The present high price of wheat will lead to economy in its use. This will tend to increass the price of all other vreadstuffs. But when corn is high, cat- tle are high. Cattle and grain include about al! the farmers’ products worth mentioning. The price of wheat to-day is an earnest of what the growers of grain will receive for their products. Therefore are prosperity must be in store for the farmer, and through him for the country. “During my trip I took particular pa- t1ence to talk with everybody, from boot- | blacks to mine-owners. Even those who voted the Popocratic ticket last fallad- mitted that ‘things were looking up,’ and with good times in sight McKinley is just as good a Moses as Bryan would have been. I found that the farmers, withont exception, had come to the conclusion that wheat at 70 cents a bushel, witn the demand Jor the other products of fields and cattle, is a better nostrum than free silver. In short, I found that Bryan and free silver must have another boost or will die from lack ot advertisement and sleep in forgotten graves.” ER L CONFERENCE.

P NEW OIL WELLS OF TEXAS, Six Hundred Barrels a Day the Ouiflow at Corvicana. CORSICANA, Texas, July 30.—Two more oil wells were completed to-day and are developing a heavy flow of cruae petroleum, aggregating for two weeks about 150 barrels a day. There are now thirteen flowing wells in whose output is approximated at 600 bar- | rels, and more welis are under contract. The oi!l is almost the same as the Pennsyl- vania product, and the success of the new wells indicate that the supply is perma- nent. The wells, with two exceptions, are inside the corporate limits. Two large companies are developing the fields, one having 50,000 and the other about 30,- 000 acres under lease. BSenator Mills owns 1000 scres in what is supposed to be the richest portion of the oil territory. T e R BROUGHT THE CARGO RACK. The Captain of @ Schooner Refused a Landing at Baracoa. NEW YORK. N. Y., July 30.—The Bri‘- ish schooner Waliedo, which sailed from this port June 12 with a full carzo of pro- visions for Baracoa, Cuba, returned to- day. Captain Kemp reports that the an- thorities at Baracoa refused to let him discharge the cargo, because they feared it ultimately might find its way to the insurgent army and natives hostile to Spanish rule. He says the Spanish at Buracoa wanted to carry out Weyler's or- ders to starve the inhsabitants.” Captain Kemp then sailed for Port Antonio, Ja- maica. He was unable to sell the cargo there, and was forced to come back with- out having sold a pound. — Steamers to Carry Grain.

SANTA MONICA, Car., July 30.—The fitth day of the tennis tournament finds the interest unabated. A stream of gayly clad visitors was going Casinowarl beiore time to open the courts, Not only were the ladies’ frocks gorgeous to behold, but a particularly noticeable feature of this teurnament is the fact that seven-tenths of the fair visitors have hair ranging from pale gold to rich red, and psychological minds are trying to determine why the blonde-haired woman is fonder of ath- letics than her darker sisters. In the ladies’ singles, the finalevent, Miss Giffen won over Miss Hugus in a score of 6—4, 6—8, 6—4. The match in open doubles, between Bumiller and Braly against the Cravens brothers, was won by Bumiller and Braly. Score, 6-0, 11—9.

The Southern California ds nd local | satisfied when Miss Jones deleated her antagonict in an easy score of 6—1, 6-0. This makes the third year tuat she has valiantly held that honor. The second match of the afternoon was no less interesting, being for the cham- ponship in gentlemen’s open doubles. Freeman and Picher played acainst Bumiller and Braly. The first set, which developed some superb playing, was won by Freeman and Picher in a score of 6—4. These gentlemen increased their excelient work in the second set and made the score 6—1 Filied with the joy of victory and cheered by the audience, Messrs. Freeman and Picher again made wonderful plays, an the third set closed wita a score of 6-0in their favor. To-morrow the mixed doubles will afford great interest. Sl STOCKTON'S WATKEKMELON KUSN.

AMNESTY 70 IkISH PLEISONERS. Good Prospects for the feleass of Five Men Under Life Sentence. LONDON, Exg., July 30.—As a result of the efforts of John Redmond, the Parnell- ite leader, it is probable that the Govern- ment will soon release the five remaining Irish prisoners, Wilson, Burton, Dalton, Flanagan and Fetherstone, now under- going sentences of penal servitude for life in Portland Prison. Sir Matthew White Ridley, the’ Home Secretary, has already promised to treat with the convicted men under the dyna- mite act of 1883, which carries 8 maximum penalty of twenty years’ imprisonment, instead of under the felony-treason act of 1848, Deductine for “good conduct commuta- tion” the terms of imprisonmant would be fifteen years. All the five have now entered the fifteenth year of their im- prisonment; and there are strong hopes of relief before the expirationsoi the year, as the result of the pressure brought to bear upon the Governmenp, supported by a large section of the press. Itis thought probable that the forth- coming visit of the Duke and Duchess of York to Ireland will be signalized by the release of all Irish political prisoners. - — Pacific Coast Pensions.

IMPROVING RICHMOND, Real Estate Has Shown No Decline in Price—Contractor McHugh Busy. The value of real estate in the Rich- mond district has kept up all through the dull season, notwithstanding the decline in vrices elsewhere. This, to the owner of property, is looked upon as being in favor of the iocation. A continuous line of improvement is being carried on all the time throughout the entire valley by the sea. Contractor Felix McHugh will bear th's staterent out, inasmuch as he is kept busy making contracts and carrying them into execu- tion. At present he has his estimates made and contracts secured for putting in sewers on the following strcets and ave- nues: Sewer on Second avenue, between Point Lobosavenueand A street; Fourth avenue, inside of the same boundary; a large lead- ing sewer on Twenty-first avenue to Clement street; Ninth avenue, between C and B streets, a leading sewer to connect with a cross-sewer, draining the newly made ground in that sectior by the re- moval of the sandhill that had been shift- ed to fill in the o!d Bay District racetrack. With this necessary improvement there stili goes.on the sale of real estate and buildings. As an authority on this subject T. G. Parker, who bas been engaged in the real estate businessin that valley for the past ten years, said: ‘‘There is one thing that I can say about the Richmond, and thatis that the price of real estate has naver gone down, notwithstanding a tendency in other seciions of the City for it to fall dur- ing the past few years. i sold afew pieces of property a few days ago_at what I con- sider to be a good price. The piece I al- lude to is on Seventh avenue, on the north side of Lake street, facing the pub- lic squrre. The lotis 128x1i4. This brought $2500. W. F. McLean was the purchaser at this figure,” . The paving of First avenue is progress- ingin a sort of a way. At best itis only a patched kind of a pavement. One part is paved with basalt blocks, while another has bitumen, and stiil another—that por- tion from Point Lobos avenue to D street— has the old fashioned macadamized cov- ering. The reason for this is the claim that the Oia Fellows’ etery Associa- tion is not liable for street assessments, out it consented to pay for macadamizing. The building of new houses still goes on. Edward Ginley is buildjgg a 1wo-story house on Sixth avenue,® between Point Lobos avenue and Clement street. W. J. Appinis doing likewise on Fourth avenue, between Clement and California streets. Johanna Garnist 1s erecting a neat dwell- ing on Filth avenue, between California and Clement streets. Annie Marrion has gone out further west, and is building on ride was | Clement street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues, C. McCallis- | STATEMENTS OF THE RAILROADS Equalizers Are Asked to Reduce Assess- ments. E. Black Ryan Tells of the Southern Pacific’s Loss of Business. Tales of Wos From Reprasentatives of Other Lines and the Pull~ man Company. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 30.— Yes- terday was set for the appearance before the State Board of Equalizers of repre- sentatives of the Southern Pacific Com- pany and all its leased lines, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad and the Fuliman Palace Car Company. Neither corpora- tion was represented, although it was c¢x- pected that E. B. Ryan would be present on behalf of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. 3 The statement of the Southern Pacific shows that outside its leased lines it owns and operates 1543.64 miles of road in this State. The value of the entire road way, roadved and 1ails in the State is placed at $8,644,380. The earnings were $9,857,848 33 and expenses $7,025,424 92 in and out of the State for the year ending December 31. 1896. Other receints ageregated $2,56494 and payments $3,168,939 52, leaving a defi- ciency of $333,951 17. The sum of $3 000.- 39349 was paid for interest and $100,000 into the company’s sinking fund. The Pullman Company represents in its statements that in this State the mile- age over which its cars are operated is 918, and the provortion due to all the counties for assessment $18,978, its inter- est with the Central Pacific veing one- quarter. Its interest with the Southern Pacific i3 also one-quarter, the mileage in six counties 490, and_the proportion due those counties $10,479 #4. The company operutes its own cars ou1 564 miles of road, and its proportion of laxes amounts to $17,761 58. An interesting question has arisen as to the assessment ot 51 miles of road be- tween Mojave and The Needles, in San Bernardino County, which is owned by the Southern Pacitic Company and is leased to the Atlantic and Pacific Com- pany. Heretofore this piece of road has been included in the statement of the South- ern Pacific Company and assessed to it. Bat this year the company has omitted it from its statement, and it is placed in the return of the Atlantic and Pacific. It appears that the Southern Pacific taxes the other road for its share of the assessment, and that the reason for that portion of the road being included in the return to the Atlantic and Pacific Com- pany 13 because the latter, if assessed sep- arately and apart from the Southern Paci- fic, would not have to pay out so much money for taxes and other expenses. At the present time the entire Southern Pa- citic system is assessed for eich mile, which the law provides, and that portion Jeused by the Atlanuc and Pacific is as- sessed equally with the remaining poriion of the system. Hence, if the 24251 miles of road is assessed separaiely, the burden will not be so heavy on the latter road, which is the case now on account of being tax+d by the owners of the road for its snare of the assessment. In speaking of the matter this evening one of the board said ‘‘No matter what conclusion may be ar- rived at, there is one thiug I can promise positively, and that is that the State shall not be wronged in anv way over this con- test between corporations.’” The probabilities are that the piece of road 242 miles iong lying between Mojave and the Needles, belonging to the South- ern Pacific Comvany but leased to the Atlantic and Pacific Company, the assess- ment of which has been under dispute between the two companies, will be assessed to the latter at the valuation of $5000 per mile, where formerly the South- ern Pacific was obliged to pay an assess- ment on this piece of track at a valuation of $9000 per mile, and if this concession be grantea by the State Board of Equaliza- tion, which it will be without doubt, it will be due to the efforts and eloquence of Jadge C. N. Sterry, the attorney and solicitor for the Atlantic and Pacific, who appeared in their behalf to-day. 1. E. B. Ryan, who appeared to-day on bebalf of the Southern Pacific Company, declared in the course of his argument that theonly true way to assess railroads was to first ascertain their net earnings. The speaker said he has been met with proposition that the farmers earn little or nothing from the operations of their farms. This is the same fix, Mr. Ryan taid, the Southern Pacific is placed in. The company had found it necessary to curtail expenses in every possible way where such action was not detrimental to the road and did not jeopardize the safety of passengers and transportation of freight. Referring to the South Pacific Coast road, he claimed that the road pro- duced nothing during 1895 save a deficit of $75,000; and while he believed it to be the best narrow-gauge road in the State, he asked that its assessment be reduced to $10,000 per mile. Reverting to the matter of the assessment of the entire system, Mr. Ryan asked the board to take into consideration the fact that in the San Joaquin Valley the road he represented was paralleled by another road competing with it in every particular. E. W. Clark of the Pacific Coast Rail- road gave the net earnings of his road for last year as $11,000, and requested that the assessment on his road be reduced $1000 per mile. J. P. Meehan ot the Pullman Car Com- pany stated that thirteen Pullman cars and twenty-two tourist cars had been turned over to the Southern Pacific Com- pany to be made into day coaches, and in consequence he asked that that number be stricken from last year's assessment- roll. PHENIX'S YOUNG ROBBERS. Capture of Two Boys Who 0ammiflod. Nightly Depredations Through- out the Valley. PH@ENIX, Arrz., July 30.—The crim- inal careers of two very promising youth- ful desperadoes have been cut short by Constable John Beck. The young free- booters were Henry Ellers and Jesse Utz, both aged fifteen years. They have been ravaging turkey-pens, gtain warehouses and private.dwellings. For a couple of months the people in the valley have been complaining of turkey-thieves in particu- lar and thieves that have stolen every- thing loose in general. The thieves operated in the dark hoursand were al- ways armed. Several tragedies have nar- rowly missed issue in the several cases where the proprietors of portable mer- chandise have caught the robvers in the act and tried to drive them off empty- handed. Shots have been exchanged and the thieves have escaped in the darkness. A few days ago two boys delivered a consigument of turkeys at the North and South restaurant and negotiated for the sale of a mammoth gobbler, which they es- timated would weigh thirty-five pounds. On Thursday morning the turkey was breught in. It was a magniticent bronze and weighed twenty-eight pounds. The same day R. J. Cartwright, who lives near the city, drove in and demand.d legal protection for his aearoost. The night before, he told the Sheriff, his prize bronze gobbler had been stolen. Aroused by the outeries.of the bird he had Lastened 1o the rescue, but was driven back by gun- shots. The thieves had come in acar- riage, the tracks of which cume toward Pbeenix. The boys, Eilers and Utz who had been suspected of other depredations, were also suspected of this one. Constable Beck went out to interview Utz and found the lad with a knife and a big revolver on his person. A charge-of carrying concealed weapons was lodged acainst him for the time beingz. Young Ellers was arrested the same day in Riverside. He threw his coat away when the officer took hoid of him. Thecoat was recovered and found to contain a 32-caliber revolver. Utz is the son and mainstay of a re- spectable widow of this city, while Elters is the son of a Riverside clergyman. Ellers recently joined the local brigade of the Salvation Army, but soon left the army because, as he explained it, there were “too many tough and disreputable characters in the ranks.” Since the arrest of the boys they have confessed to the bronze turkey theft and to the stealing of 600 new grainsacks from O’Connor & Cottreil. The sacks were sold to Hollenbeck’s hay and grain store. The boys have been hiring a horse and car- risge from Sloan’s livery siableat $1 a nigat, and it was a very poor night with them when they did not return with at least 100 per cent 1ncrease over and above cast of ammunition and ‘all expenses. Both the boys have been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment in the County Jail. e e TRAGEDY AT GLOBE, A Cittzen Fires Into a Crowd With a | Shotgun. GLOBE, Ariz, July 30.—Bushrod F.
