The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 15, 1897, Page 2

THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, to realize that the conclusons reached by this court have been accepted, not simply of necessity as so prescribed by the funda- mental laws, but in the main as in them- selves both correct and wise. As we all know the period’of the war was followed by one, continuing even to the present time, of marvelous material development. Wealth accumulated such as never before was dreamed oi in this country. Gigantic entecprises were under- taken and carried through. Inventions have multiplied the conveniences of life as weil as the possibilities of achieve- ment. Indeed, the conditions of life have entirely changed from those that prevailed prior to the war. Ouat of this changed social and economic condition have sprung not mere!y an ilmmense mul- titude of cases, but litigation of a char- scter vitaliy affecting tne future pros- perity and safety of this country. To this court ve come for final solu- tion and decision many of these questions and cases. By the bl gs of Almighty God my bealth and life have been pre- served, and I have been enabled o take partin the consideration of ail these cases, Few aporeciate the ritude of our lab The burden ng unon us for the lust fifteen or twenty years has been enormous.

This nega- tive power—the power of resistance—is the only safety of a popular government, and it is an additional a-surance when the power is in such hands as yours. With this I give place to my successor; but Ican never cease to linger on the memories of the past, Armong the com- pensations for all the hard work that a seat on this bench imposes have been the intimacies and friendships ihat have been Though we formed between its members. huve often differed in our opi been an honest difference, which did noi affect our mutual regard and re- spect.

FIELD. £ME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES | WasHINGTON, Oct. 14 We are profoundly moved the letter in which you al nounce to us your retirement from bench. The termination of a judicial ca- reer of such length and distinciion cannot fail to 1napire among all your country- men, and indeed, wherever the realm of jurisprudence excends, a keen sense of loss, which to vour colleagues assumes the aspect of the intimacy necessarily incident to the conduct of work so constant, so exacting and of such vital importance as ours in- evitably draws us together by ties of the closest character, which cannot, be dis- solved without emotions of deep sadness and regret. We feel that our parting in- voives not simply the deprivation of the assistance afforded by your iearning, your vast experience and your earnestness in advocacy of your con ions, but the severance of these relations which bave contributed so much to lighten the hard- est labors of the road. This is not the time or place to dwell on the reputation jurist. The record is made up and may safely be committed to the jadgment of posterity. But we cannot part with you as an act- ive member of the court without the fer- vent expression of the hope that you may be spared for many years to enjoy the re- pose you have so thoroughly earned and the commendation bestowed upon good end faithful service.

LOS ANGELE CAL., Oct. 14.—The weather prophet’s predictions prevaiied and a perfect day favored the opening of | the big race meet, though otherwise there | were unfavorable conditions. The rain- | fall of lust night left the track in adamp | and lumpy condition, and the directors of | the association decided to postpone the great 2:12 trot and 2:12 pace until the winner could be declared under more pro- | pitous circumstances, substituting in | their stead two selling events for runners. | This, together with the aggravating con- | dition of the weather, was a stunningdis- appointment to the inhabitants of the southern citrus belt, and as a consequence the majority of them interested in equine | sports stayed at home, and this in spiie of the fact that the Citrus Belt han | valued at $1000, was down tor decision. | The gold br.ck peddlers were conspicu- ous by their absence, as gambling games of no sort were toierated.

This time, however, it is really a pretiy serious matter, and the big one is charg~d wita a choice cluster of oifenses, the damages claimed aggregating nearly $10,000.

C., Oct. 14.—It is now stated that another change is to be made in the compo-sition of the Nicara- guan Canal Commission, and again a place is set apart for an engineer memaer of the body. Since the commission was appointed no less than five army engineer officers either have been appointed to this p'ace or have been invited to acceptit. First there was Captain Carter, who was obliged to relinquish the piace because of the pendency of charges against him in Savan- nah.

Moreover, the pressure for early and consistent decision in the arrangement of measures of reciprocity has been very great from foreign couniries as well as from our own eitiz:n: In view of t ese facis the President has designated Hon.

Plans of the Interior Department Anticipated In Reference to Lincoln Territory. Special aispatch to THE CALL. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14 — In view of the reports of the ex- pected founding of a new city in Alaska, to be known as Wezre, on the Yugon River, between the boundary line of British Columbia and St. Michael, with the design of making it the capital of a proposed new Territory, it may be possible that the Interior Department may find it necessary to locate the new land office there, instead of aut Circle City, where it was originally contemplated. Official reporis have reached here that Circle City, until recently practically the only settlement on the Yukon River, has been virtually abandoned. W. L. Diston of Iliinois, recently ap- pointed Surveyor-General of Alaska, has | wlegraphed the Interior Department tha lie is now ¢n route for Sitka. The de-| pariment has been nonufied of the pres- ence at Sitka of 1bhe recently apvoointed Register and Receiver of the land office, lately established at that place. Here- after all surveys of mineral lands in Alaska, including the Yukon and all other parts cf the Territory, must be reported to the Sitka office. TWELVE MEN SWORN 10 TRY DAN DUTCHER Taking of Testimony in the Schofield Murder Case Commenced. Widow of the Rancher Excluded With Othar Witnesses From the Courtroom. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 14 —The selecting of a jury to iry Dan Dutcher for the al- leged murder of George M. Schofield was completed this afternoon, the following having been chosen: Theodore Horsey, Philip Dick, Edwin Wiison, George E Bennet, R. R. May, Frank McKiernan, W. A. E. Rnodes, Georze W. Lee, T. Hutchins and John Padiey. After the attorneys for the prosecution and defense announced themselves as con- tent the indictment cbarging Dutcher with murder was read, and the plea of the accused of “not euilty’” was entered. At- torney Scheller, for the defense, asked that Mrs. Schofield, charged jointly with Dautcher and one of the witnesses in the case, be brought into the courtroom. Judge Lorigan said he saw no resson why Mrs. Schofield should be excinded. District Attorney Herrington then asked that all witnesse< be exciuded from the courtroom, and the granting of this re- quest solved the question as to the pro- priety of Mrs. Schofield’s presence, which has been under debate several times. Sheniff Lyndon was the first witness called to the stand. He began his testi- mony by giving the details of receiving noice of the murder and of going to the Schofield ranch on the morning of the alleged crime. Before going into a de- scription of what he saw and heard the court ad journed unil to-aorrow morning. At SR WRECKED WITH DYNAMITE. Tropice’s Postoffice Destroyed by a Blart Fired by Kobbers.

J., Oct. 14.—The Hol- land submaiine torpedo-boat sank most mysteriously at her slip at Nixon’s siip- yard at Elizabethport between 3 and 4 . M.

She parted hawsers, owing to her great weight, and sank to the bottom ot her slip. Her owner has a force of men working to raise her, but they have not vet succeeded in doing so. There is little doubt that by to-morrow they will bring her to the sur- face. 1t is ciaimed by those interesied in the boat that there will be a serious loss, as the machinery has been greatly damaged. It wiil, therefore, take a long time to put her in working o:d:r, as she was before the accdent occurred. It will be a great setbzck 10 the enterp:rising inventor, Mr. Holland, and those connected with him, more espacially as foreign countries are waiting anxiously to see how ihe new naval terror would succeed in destroying men-of-war by the new method of destruc- tion under water. The public here has been anxious to see the marvelous new torp do-boat made a success. PROSPERITY'S WAVE STHIKES HOMBOLDY Employes of a Lumber Firm Notified of a Raise in Wages.
