PATRICK COLLINS 1S A VICTIM. Relieved of His Money and Overcoat by a Robber With a Revolver. UNABLE TO RESIST THE ASSAULT. The Folice Were Notified, but Oollins Was Unable to Give a Good Description of the Man, The polic> admit that the city is fuil of ex-convicts, who are plying their voca- tions with vigor. Most of them are adepts with the “jimmy,” and tbe large number of burgiaries thrcughout the city show conclusiveiy thut they are busy. The footpad industry is not so brisk, as the penalty ii caught and convicted is a deterent, but there have been several cases recently, and more willlikely follow. Early yesterday morning Patrick Col- lins, a tailor living at 304 Minna street, was on his way home after syending a few convivial hours with some friends. He had reached half way on the block between Fifth and Sixth streets, when a tall man, with his face partly covered, stepped out of a doorway and brought Collins up with a sharp turn by the com- mand, “Throw up your hands or I'll blow your head off.” Collins gazd stupidly into the muzzle of a revolver for an instant, and as the rotber impatiently said, “Look sharp, now,” lhe instinctively threw up his hands. The footpad quickly went through his pockets, taking $28, and left 30 cents, as he flippantly remarked, “to -;e. Collins get something to steady his nerves,” “‘Now, cft with your overcoat,” said the fooipud, *as I am cold and want one badly.” Collins obeyed, and as the foot- pad threw it over his arm he walked away, wuruing Collins not to make a noise or be weuld return and fill him full of lead. Tue fright and the liquor he Lad con- samed so befuddled Collins that hs stag- gered aimlessly along the street till he waus picked up by a policeman and sent o the City Prison for being drunk. He told the story of t. e robvery in court vesterday morning, and police beadquar- ters was notified. He was unable to zive a aescription of the footpad, but said he could recognize his voice if he heard it again, POOR JORNNIE GAIFFIN. The Feather-Weight Pugilist Arrested and Charged With a Common Drunk, Solly Smith and Other Friznds Will Send Him Home to New York To-Morrow. Johnnie Griffin, the {feather-weight pugilist, was srrested Friday night ana booked at the City Prison as a common drunk. Twice within a week he had been treated at the Recceiving Hospital for deidrium tremens and released, but his insatiable thirst for drink forced tne police to charge bim with “common drunk,” so that a few months’ seclusion in the County Jail would straighten him out. Gr flin's friends heard of the charge against bim and Sollv 8mith and others made up a purse of $100 to send him home 1o New York to his parents. They went beiore Judze Campbell yes- terday morning and promised if the charge of “‘common drunk’’ was dismissed that they would send him to New York to-morrow mornine. Dr. Weil of the Receiving Hospital hat agreed 10 keep Griflin there 1ill to-morrow morning. and on tue understanding that he wou'd remain there till his departure for New York the Judge dismis-ed the cace and Griffin was sent to t. e hosp'ta Solly €mith will <ec to it that Gniffin is prov.ded with svitzb e clothing and other necessaries to make the journey as pleas- ant as possivle. It is said that Griffin was encaged to a young lady in this city, but she jilted him, and thut has driven him to make himself the hopeless wreck he is from drink. —————————— Estates in Probate.

WS POSITION ON A EXATION. Says “The Call” Is the Only Large Paper That Is Op- posing It, OPPOSED TO DIVIDING ALASKA. Thinks That Two Territories Would Incur an Unnecessary Ex- pense. ‘‘There will be many important ques- tions before Congress at its next session,” said Scnator George C. Perkins yes erday, *but just what action will be taken or what will be accomplished cannot be as yet told. But there are several important measures which are sure to be passed, as they are absolutely necessary. For in- stance, the general appropriation bill is one of them. It provides for the support of the Government and includes appro- priations for the army and navy, tue leg- islative, executive and judicial depart- m nis of the Government. Indian af- fairs, posicflices and posiroads will also bave to be provided for, amount necessary to pay pen:ions. These things will take an appropriation of $140,- 000,000 or more. *“The sundry civil bill, which carries | with it contracts or improving the rivers | and harbors, the building of lighthouses | and lighiships and quarantine boats. will also be taken up and probably 000,000 be appropriated. Then we will tave 0 provide for fortifications and ordaance, and I presume something like $10,000,000 will be set aside for those purposes. It will be absolute/y neces -ary,’” con- tinued Senator Perkins, *'to provide for the improvement o1 the rivers and uarbors of the United States. The Mississippi Kiver, in particular, will need to be 1mproved and levees built to prevent a recurrence of the floods which devastated the couniry a short time ago. The coast from Maine to Florida should be improved and there will be appropriations made for the purpose. Between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 will be appropria.ed for ihis, as iast year there was about $50,000,000 devoted to that pur- | ose.”” v Senator Perkins then spoke of the usual deficiency which always exists in the United States courts and said that would be provided for. He then referred to the Aluskan question and to the fact that a bill for 1is subdivision into i1wo Terri- tories would probably be introduced. “I am opposed to the d:vision of | Alaska,” saia Senator Perkins, “'although the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Interior recommend that it be di- vided. 1am opposed to it for many rea- sons. To create two Terr.tories there would mean to putin more officers. Cali- fornia is very much interesied in Alaska, as Californians have many millions of dollars invested in the salmon canneries ihere, besides vast amouots iu the seal | fisherics. Three-quarters of the mines | are controlled by Californians, and they aredoubly interested in having aneconom- ical and wise government. It seems to me at this time that it would be unwise and inexpedient to divide Aiaska.” Senator Perkins then touched upon the | annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. “The treaiy will come up and be dis- cussed and talked over. It will take a two-thirds vote to pass it. I think that the Democrats will oppose it. Senator Morgan, fearing that a two-thirds witl not | be obtained, will probably introduce 2 bill | vroviding for annexation. This will take | a majority vote to passit, and my impres- sion 1s that a majority vote can ve ob- tained. If the Democrats muke a deter- mined opnosition thev can prolong it for many months. «Personaliy I have been opposed to an- | sexation, but the people of California | seem to favor it, «nd I don’t think I shall | oppose it, no matter wbat are my indi vidual views. 1 don’t think that when the people give expression to their views I should s'a d out against their wishes in the matter. My adv.ces from the people are that they and nearly all the news- | papers of the country ure in favor of ir, with r1e exception of only one and that is I'HE CALL. The pavers are suprosed to reflect the sentiment of the people. Personally I thiak it unwise to annex | isolated groups of nis, ws I do not| think that ‘uch a depariure from the national policy is a pood one. However, tie people seem to favor it. besides the | should be changed and made equitable; should be placed on an equitable basis. If the treaty continues as it is it will give the large investors in those islands the great advantage of bringing in sugar free and of hiring peon and Chinese contract laborers. The peol seem 10 think thatif the siands were aruexed the laws of the United States would pre- vent the hirins of contract labor. There are two elements in the consideration of the question; one is sentiment and the other the property element. The senti- ment seems to be that the American people think that the Japanese can g0 in tnere and take the islands. The other element is composed ot those who have large invesiments in the islands, and who realize from 30 to 50 per cent with the benefit of the reciprocity treaty, and they are in favor of continuing it. A great | many Americans are interested in planta- | tions on the islands, and this fact, with | the sentimental element, tends to shape public opinion: “1 am tue se-vant of the people, and I think it is my duty, with the light before me, 10 vote {or that bill or else resign. It seems to me that the whole press ot San Francisco, except THE CALL, and the press in general throughout the State, is in fa. vorof unnexation, and, as I said before, the press reflects the sentiments of the peopie.” Senator Perkins said that he believed | that the financial quesiion would be given | a great deal of consideration, as the pres- ent system could be improved upon. He al o stated that it was very likely thatthe silver question would come up dur.ngthe session, and expressed the opinion that if | such was the case the Senate wou'd try to tack on a free sitver bill to any legislaiion authorizing the issue oi paper money. Some iegislat'on authorizing the retire- ment of greenbacks and the issuance of bonds in lieu of them, and also authoriz- ng State and national banks 10 issue pa- r money instead of the Givernment, | would also be considered. |~ **Our revenue bil! for California is the best bill from a protective standpoint. Citrus fruits have such protection that more than pays for the difference in freight between here and New York. There may be some changes in it, but these features will not be changed.’’ “Is the revenue bill which protects | wool, hides, prunes, olive oil, currants, etc., - oing to produce enoush revenue?”’ was asked. “That will develop in the next month or two. It wouid have done so had it not been for the great imports into this coun- try during the pendency of the bill. { *“Iamin favor of imyposing a stamp act against all bonds and morigages on all mining and stock exchanges, where trans- 1ers of mining and other stocks are made ; also upon bank checks, moit:ages and deeds of transfer. I believe a judicious bill of this kind would bring us in a reve- | nue of $25,000,000 or §35,000,000 a year, and certainly there wéuld be no burden on any one, for it would fall upon those who coula test stand it—the railroad compa- | nies and the stock exchanges where these | miliions of dollars of transfers are made | by brokers.” Mr. P-rkins then spoke of 2 bill which he intended introducing which provided for arbitration of the differences which arise beiween capital and labor., The bill | provides for the appointment of an arh- | tration committee, and in the main is the | same as one which he sncceed2d in get- | ting passed, but which President Cleve- ( land did not sign. He isincl:ned to think | that the bill will go througn this vear. | “We bave been trying to get plans for | the improvement of the Sacramento and | Feather rivers and to prevent overflows betwcen Marysville and Colusa and other | places. A report came from General | Wilscn, chief of tne engineering corps, | but the pians were not embodied in it | Messrs. de Vries, Hilborn, Barlow and | myself joined in a letter to him 10 expe- | dite it, but his answer was that the plans | would not be ready before January or | February.” | Tne Senator was also hopeful of secur- ing an appropriat on for a Postoffica in 0Oukland, to cost $350,000. He also stated that pubiic buidings were required in Stockion, Fresno, San Bernardino and other cities in the State. | *“We may not be able to get them all | this year,” sail the Senator, “but it isour | duty to work along tnis line. It will also be ou¢ mim to secure an anpropriation for the San Francisco Postoffice, -0 that the work can proceed and the building got in | readiness for occupancy within the next | tiree or four years. There iz no reason why we should not secure sufficient money for this.” Awone many of the other bills which the Senator would work for is one for an | appropriation fr fortifications which in- cludes the mouniing of runs at San Diego, San Francisco and ¥uget Sound, Another bilt which Mr. Perkins expres-ed himself as strongly in favor of was one for an appropriation for a drydock on this coast wiich will accommodate a battle- ship of 14,000 tons displucement. He promised 1o strive hard in this direction, for he considerad it very important, CHINESE CLUBS RAIDED, Fan-Tan Games In Operation Surprised and Captnred by the Police.
