Upon the conclusion of argument the Justice held Eaton to answer before the Superior Court for grand larceny, fixing his bonds at $2000. Bonds had been ai- ready furnished before the examiation, snd they were accepied in continuance. Mrs. Bell and “Mammy” Pleasant were not here.

There Flannelly was rraigned and Tuesday, November 30, was for the preliminary examination. Jannelly had nothing to say, except that he desired to consult with Attorney | John T. Doyle, who has been retained to defend him. While Sheriff McEvoy was lying at the point of death the feel:ng here was so bit- the murderer that it was thought advisabie to get him out of the county, so, while a false a.arm ot fire was being turned in at one end oi the town, Le was hurried ou: of the j1il and taken to San Jose, where he has remained until to-day.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24—The Free Harbor League, at a meeting held tnis afternoon, decided to change the tactics heretofore employed in endeavoring to have the improving of San Pe lro Harbos begun. An appeal was direcied to the Pre-ideut of the United States, asking him to aid in carrying out the wish of Congress, ana requesting his good officer to cause the commencement of the work. This will, of course, go to the President over the head of the Secretary of War. | This course has not before been vursued by the league. It has shown every cour- resy and due deference to the Secretary of ‘War, who is the direct authority to deal with. Now, for the first time, the case is called to the atiention of Presiaent Mc- Kinley. The league decided at the meeting to arrange fora full exposition of the San Pedro harbor case in the leading news- papers of the country. All facts will be set forth, together with an explanation as to the deiuy in the commencement of the work and how it was bronght about. The intention is to institute a_ vigorous cam- paign, not only at the National Capital, but throucrh Eastern papers.

Minister Wants to Take Highbinders Back Home to Punish Them. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—The Herald’s Washington correspondent telegrapbs: 1 learne! at the S:ate Department to-day that Minister Wu Ting Fang has. been making earnest representations to the de- partment and te the President in favor of an extradition treaty which will enable him to obtain the return to China of many of the Chinese criminals living in New York and san Francisco. 2 The State Department is averse to nezo- tiating an extradition treaty with China, for the 1eason that the form:« of jndicial proceduse in that country are so different from those followed in this and other western count ies. Mr. Wu,in his repre- seatutions to the department, has calied attention to the fact that this Gowv ment has «n extradition treaty with Tur- key, who<e judicial procedure is very dif- ferent from that of the United Staies and European G vernments. While adimiring the industry of Mini~ter Wu, the autbori- ties say they do not think it would be wise to nezotiate such a treaty with his Gov- ernment. -—— NiVaL BALARIES., Important Eecommendation Made to the Sub-Committer of the Present Board. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—A Washington special to the } d says: The most im- portant action taken up to this iime by te Personnel Board reiates to the matter The sub-committee, consisting of Commander J. N. Hamphill, Lieutenant INCREASE OF Sect'on of Macadamized Road Near Camden, N. C., Showing Size of Loads Hauled Over It. The Folsom roz wi viay, the other half be 1l b2 similar in construction to this, with the exception of the macadam, which will be from the north line to the center of the go-foot road- 2 a graded or summer road. YT bl f m“'flw county ani the result of its labors will. no | doubt, bring the board the opporiunity it | has longed for—that of demoustrating 10 | the people of Calfornia what the future | has in store for tuem in the matter of road building. The present board has not had the op- | portunity of demonstra.ing to the people | the possibilities which lie at the door of | its department, but with the construction of the Folsom boulevard comes its chance | and that it intends to make the most of | 1t poes without sayin . Other States in the Uanion have made great progres: in the way of road-builc ing, tbrough their departmen's of high- ways. George A. Perkins, chairman of the Mas<achusett< Highway Commission, in a letter 10 a Sacramento merchant, | said: | “Road improvement in this section of the United States is now an _imyportant ac or in S'ate as well as municipal elec- tion-. Itisincorporated into party plat- forn and candidares must declare ho they stand upon this issue. This has oeen brought about by a constant agita- tion on the part of those who have made a study of the question from an economic standpoint and who have reaiized ihe immense loss resultin « frem the bad con- dition of our ‘ways’ before Massachusetts awoke to the necessily of doing some- thing for the improvement of her high- ways."" Commissioner Ashe returned last even- ing frem the Co-umnes Riverdistrict, and | to THE CALL correspondent said : | “*We find some opposition to the bond | question in this loc. The opponent. | of the measure insist that the fonds for the con-truc ion of a road in any particu- | iar road district should be raised by a ai rect tax on the property of that di-trict. Now peo.le who ralk that way do no seem (0 understand that it would be an utter impos-ibility to build tue road by a direct tax on the property of the district. In the first place, the roaa will hava to be completed by the time the Le islatur convenes in 1899. Now the assessed value of tne property in the district is less than $7.000,000, and the law provides that that proper y cannot b: taxed for road pur- poses in excess of 40 centson the $100. Subposing there be §7,000,000 worth of as- sessea property in the disirict, only $28, 00 couid be raired by a direct tax, so you see that the disirict cou.d not possibly nDnish the road by the time the next ses- sion of the Lecislature convenes. And then if all their funds were to be used in coustructing this road there wouli be notning left for the roads in other por- tions of the aistrict. Now, in answer to thos» who persist in saying that 1t is illegal to issue county bonds for road purposes 1 desire to refer you to section 18 of article X1 of the con- stitution, which is as follows: No county, , town, township, Board of Education orschool district i incur any indebledmess or liabiity in manner, or for any purpose, exceeding {n any year the in- come and revenue provided for it for such year, without the assent of two-thirds of the qualified electors thereof, voting at an elec- ti0n 10 b held for that purposc; nor unless, before or atthe time of incurring such indebt- edness, provision shall be wade for tue collec tion of an anvun tix sufficient 1o pay the in- terest on such indebtedness as it falls due, and also provision Lo constitute a sinking fund for the ppyment of the principal thereoi ol or be- fore maturity, which shall not excerd forty years from tiie time of contracting the eame, Any indeviedness or liaviiity incurred con- trary to ihis provision si.all be void. Now, if that section does not mean that the county may issue bonds such as are necessary to create funds for the con- strucilon of the Folsom road, 1t does not | mean anvihing.” ‘When asked how he ‘ound matters in the country disiricts the Commis ioner repl ed that he felt auite certain that as the question was agitated the people wouiu become more and more impressed with the savantages offered them in the construction of the boulevard. In the city everything points to a suc- cessiul ending of the very thorough can- vass which is being made. The commit- tee in charce has arranged for mestings in all the wards of the city next Friday evening. Prominent speakers will be called upon 1o address those who a<sem- ble, and following the addresses an or- ganization will be formed in each pre- cinct, for the purpose of not only making a further canva but to urge upon those favoring the project the necessity of vot- ing upon the question a week from Fri- day.

BOSTON, Nov. 24.—The famous: historic Park-street Church nerrowly escaped destruction to-day. When the watch- men went into the basement of the build- ing this morning he found the place filled with illuminating gas, which was so strong that 1t wouid undoub tedly have re- suited in an explosion of great violence had he taken a lighted match to find out whence it came. The gas bad notonly filled tie engine-room in the basement but had peneirated throu h the brick par- tition wall into the pookstore ot W. B. Clark & Co., filling that place with so muc gas that Mr, Clark did not dare to light tne gasjets. Afier investigation the workmen found that the gas had come inio the basement of the church from a tole in the wall of theengine-room, which counected with an unused cesspool in the Granary burying-¢round. 3 It was found that the connection had broken on the opposite side of the street. The gas, escaping from the leak, haa fol- lowed an eiectric conduit ncro-s the street and gone through the loose dirtinto the Granary burying-ground cesspool. —_——-—— Editor Chessmore Acquitied.

FAGED DEATH ON HOJAVE DESERT Lost Miner’s Horrible Suffering From Thirst. Found by a Shepherd After He Had' Laid Down to Die. Wandered for Days Without Food or Water Over the Heated Sands. Special Dispatch 10 THE CALL. RANDSBURG, Nov. 24.—Felix Don- nelly, one of the mirers lost recently on the Mojave Desert, was brought into Rand-burg to-night by the Mojave stage. He was found on Saturday by a Portu- guese sheepherder lying with his head under a bush near the Keeler stage road and was taken to Indian Wells, There he was cared for until the weekly Keeler stage came ulong and brought h.m to the Eighteen-mi'e House on the Garlock stage road, whence he was sent on to this city. Donnelly told a tale of horrible suffering to THE CALL correspondent this evening. He leit Randsburg on November 11 to take Willium McLeod out to work on a mine in the W.lson Canyon, in the Argus Mountains, about seventy miles north of Randsburg. The journey was mad: with- out mishap, cxcept that the horse they s'arted with was in poor condition and almost gave out. Leavngz McLeod at the mine Donnelly stairted back the following day. He resied, waiere:! and ted the ani- mal at he borax works and expecied to make his camp that night nesr Linders well, but he got lost, and afier driving all that nieht and the next day got to the well about dark, only to find it perlectly drv. He unhitched the horse, whick bhad falien down exhausted, and, putting some hay before it, left 11, intending to go to El Paso Peak iunnel, where he knew water couid be had. How long he wandered about he is unable to tell, but he recollects tha: for three ¢aysand nights he traveled, with neither foud nor water. Every moun- tain before him seemed like the familiar El Pasc Peak, and he thinks be must have gone to all of them, only to be disap- pointed. At last his suff-rings became horrible, and he iay down, expecting to die, and became unconscious. When he recovered consciou-ness he was in tue hands of friends at Indian Weils. He bas a faint recollection of having been awakened by the sheepherder and given some water, All through the terrible ordeal, he says, he kiew ana realiz he was lost, and frequentiy would fail down and then get up again ana wander about untili again exhausted. The cool nights reireshea bim somewhat, but the hot days and the terrible realization that he was slowly per.shing a mo t vobbed him of Lis reason. REACY 10 LAY 1HE CABLE. Congress Expected to Grant Hawaiian #ranchise at the Coming Session. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24— Edmund L. Baylss, vice-president of the Pa- cific Cable Company of New York, was in town to-day, and talked of the plans of his company. He thinks the New York company, of which James A. Schrymser, the pioneer of cible-laying 1n Armerica, is president, will probably secure the Ha- waiian franchise at the coming session. “If this oili is passed this winter,”’ said he, “work will be ccmmenced at once, and the cable wiil ba completed as far us the Hawaiian Islands by the latter part of 1898 Preparations are now being made for surveys beiween the islands and Australia, and when we have the author- ity to do %0 our lines will be extended as ru{) diy as po-sible. Mr. Bayliss’ intimation that the New Jersey company has retired from the field isrefut:d by General Wazer Swayne, coun- sel of that company, who is now in New York. He heard tue story current in this city that the New Jersey company had witndrawn from the fieid, and he tele- graphed a friend to deny it most emphati- cally and to ad4 the statement that the company will appear beore Congress this winter to urge leg'-lation which will en- able it to carry out its project for a Pacific cable connecting with the islands. A= e REFUSE 10 COMPROMIZE. the Owners of Sealing Schaoners Seized by a Russian Cruiser Demand Full Damagss. VICTORIA, Nov. 24 —The owners of the seaiing schocners Willie MacGowan' and Ariel have been offered on behalf of the Rus-ian Government $40,000 as com- pensation for illegal se1zure in 1892 by the Kussian cruiser Zabiaka. It was claimed that they were operating within the Russian prohibited zone, bat this was conclusively proved not to have i een the case, and the commander of the Zab aka, who made the seizure, has since been relieved as insane. The owners claim §60.000, and refuse to accept the smaller amount tendered. The sealing owners here express them- selves as pertectly willing 1o consent to a close season for a year, providing that they are paid compensation for the loss thereby occasioned, and they do not an- ticipate that the British Government will order any close season without offering such comp:nsation. The hunters and other men empoyed on the schooners will suffer, however, tirough the loss of their cu.tomary employment. T el LOST IN MOUNTAIN WILDS. Two Lregon Hunters Believed to Have Perished While in Quest of Leer. PORTLAND, Nov. 24 —Jobn Berger and William Lous gnaut, well-known resi- dents of Washineton County, while hunt- 1ng deer in the Nehalem Mountains wan- dered away from tueir companions and have probably perished. Lousignaut and Berzer left the former’s place on the upper Nchalem River, fifteen miles from the village of Buxion, on November 1 with a party of iriends in quest of deer. The two men stationed their friends on runways at the river and then took the dogzs up into the bilis to chase out the game. The men at the stations waited uniii night, tu Lousig- naut and Berger did not return. Their cabins were visited, but they were not there. All that night and the next day was spent in the search, but no trace of the missing men could be found. The next day a terrible storm set in, in which it is believed they perished. On Saturday Lousignaut’s dogs reiurned with a suspender tied about its neck. It is believed that a note had been atiached 3 to it, but was torn off by the thick brush througn wh:ch the animal had evidently made 118 way. i A large pariy is now searching for the missing men, but with slhight hopes of success. B e GERMAN hAV-L DIIPLAY. Emperor William Will Show CF His Battle-Ships in Chinese Waters. BERLIN, Nov. 24. — Emperor William is credited with the inception of the pro- po-ed navai demonstration in Chinese waters. The suddenness of the appoint- ment of Admiral von Diederich and Prince Henry is shown by ihe fact that only a week ago the prince was appointed in- spector of the navy, a post in which he is now replaced by Baron Bodenhausen, the commander of the imperiai yacht Hohenzollern. No German prince has Mever nad an active comamnd so far from home. The two squadrons will consist of eight vessels and 3500 men. It is semi-officiaily declarad thai the pending diplomatic ne- gotiations will be conducted at Peking and not at Berlin. Tne new Chine:e Minisier to Germany was just on thLe point of start- ing for Berlin, but on the occupation of Kuo Chan, the Pekine authorities coun- termanded his dejarture. On good au- thority it is said that Germany i3 neges tiating with the great powers for a per- manent cccupation of the bay as a naval station. The negouations promise to be successful. . The Hayti difficulty has disappearec in the backgrcund in view of the weighty Chinese movement. The semi-official or- gans rezard it s settled, and acknowledge the iriendly attitude of the United Staies has materially assisted the settlement.
