Under the present cir- cumstances it was absurd for this Gov- ernment to try to maintain a system of | control without taking actual posses-| sion. | He controverted the position of Sen- ators Pettigrew and White that the ‘American could not labor in the Ha- Wwaiian Islands. He quoted weather statistics to show that the temperature on the islands’ coasts ranged from36de- grees to $S degrees during the year, which, he said, was far from being an | oppr hot climate. Farther in- | land it was still cooler, and on the| mountains fros were not infrequent. | 1f the white men of this country were | not impressed with the islands, Teller | thought they would make an excellent | location for the colored people of the United States who might desire to cave this country, and would find con- | nial employment in the sugar plan- | s and coffee fields of Hawail. | al the contention | Hawalian group was not on| direct line of travel bcl\veenl tern Hemisphere and China | Any vessel which might | nd the Horn or cross the| s of Panama in the case of the | ction of a canal, would almost take these islands in on its to Yokohama, Shanghai or any far eastern port.

V YORK, Feb. 7.—Of nearly five hundred persons assembled in Ply- mouth Church lecture room to-night | not one arose to voice opposition to the | statements of Thomas G.

They want to take away our liberties and establish an empire.”” Dr. Abbott said he disagreed with Mr. Shearman as to the wrong of the revolution, but he agreed with him as to the wrong of annexing the islands. “I do not think we ought to annex them,” he said. “They seem able to perly govern themselves.

Window Panes Destroyed and Shingles Cracked by the Pelting From the Skies. Special Dispatch to The Call. RED BLUFF, Feb. 7.—Red Bluff was visited by a heéavy hailstorm at 4 o'clock this afternoon. None so severe had been known here before. The | ground was covered with hailsh)nesi measuring from one to one and a half inches in diameter, making a solid | layer more than two inches in thick- ness throughout the town. The ditches and crevasses are filled. = The storm came from the east, and there is hardly a window pane on the east sides of the buildings left in the town. Consider- able damage has been done to the buildings by displacing shingles from | the roofs. To what extent this storm reached and what damage has been done in the country cannot be told at | this time. | STOCKTON, Feb. 7.—Wheat-raisers | and fruit-growers in this section are | jubilant over crop prospects, which | have been brightened greatly by the rain which began Saturday, and which continued with slight intermissions up to 1 o’clock to-day. Since the begin- ning of the storm there has fallen .65 | of an inch. This is sufficient to give grain a good start, and unless a long | dry spell follows there will be an im- mense harvest. MERCED, Feb. 7.—The long-looked- | for rain came as a shower of blessings | to the farming community on Satur- | day evening and the farmers are ac- cordingly happy. On Saturday evening | the rainfall amounted to .27 of an inch | and on Monday it amounted to .49 of an inch. The wind is blowing a gale from the south, and the prospects are good for more rain to-night. MONTEREY, Feb. 7.—A pouring rain began here about midnight last night, continuing until 9 o’clock this morning. The entire precipitation was .72 of an | inch., Advices from outlying districts | state’that this breaking of the drought | was a boon to ranchmen and cattlemen, coming just in time to save the hay | and other crops. Grass was especially | benefited by the rain, and many hun- | dreds of cattle saved. | BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 7.—It began | raining here at 4 o’clock this afternoon and by 5 o'clock .26 of an inch had fallen. It was just the kind of rain that was needed—warm and gentle. In- dications are that more rain will fall to-night. This makes 3.04 inches for the season. The grass on the plains and foothills had just started. This s(};lower wil cause it to shoot up rap- | idly. SALINAS, Feb. 7.—The long-looked~ | for rain has come at last and every one is happy. The precipitation has been | general all over the county and enough | rain has fallen to insure crops, provid- | ing' there come the customary spring | showers. The rainfall in Salinas amounted to .66; Kings City, .44; Brad- ley, .50; Paso Robles, .58; San Lucas, Chualar, .60; San Miguel, .78; Pa- aro, .90. The indications are good for more rain. POMONA, Feb. 7.—It has been rain- ing in Pomona Valley and throughout this region all this day. The indica- tions are that it will rain through to- night and to-morrow. The farmers, or- | chardists and sugar-beet growers who have been somewhat blue are happy. HOLLISTER, Feb. 7.—The rainfall | for the storm here was a half-inch. | It greatly benefits feed and crops.

It is hardly more than a heavy nist, but the clouds are becoming more threatening and the expectation is that Southern California’'is to have a gen- eral copious downpour, which s greatly needed. TEMPLETON, Feb. 7.—Much-needed rain commenced last night and contin- ued all day. Farmers feel better. Much more is needed ‘to assure a crop. The; total for the season is 3.40 inches. Last | season to date it was 11.13. VISALIA, Feb. 7.—kain commenced falling on Saturday night and the fall | up to this evening was .76 of an inch, | making 3.58 inches for the season.

With the Assistancs of a Trusty He Succeeds in Preventing an Escape. Special Diepatch to The Call. OROVILLE, Feb. 7.—Two prisoners in the local prison made a desperateattempt to escape last night, and in the attendant struggle one of them struck Jailer John Boyles on the head with a bludgeon. Boyles at 7:45 o'clock entered the depart- ment where John Valllere and Fred Gar- rity were confined. Valliere had made a sandbag by saving all the salt he could obtain, wetting it so as to make it hard as a rock. He tied a string around the stocking and lay in wait for the jailer. ‘When Boyles entered Valliere struck him a terrific blow across the face and knocked him down. Luckily the blow was across the cheek instead of on the tem- rity, and would have fared badly had not a trusty rushed to his assistance and succeeded in pulling off one of his oppo- nents. Boyles had a severe struggle be- fore he could overpower Valliere, who struck at him a number of times with the sandbag. The jaller used a heavy umbrella handle with such effect as to floor the convict finally, and he then put him in jrons. Valliere had recently been convicted of | burglary, and will be sentenced to State prison to-morrow. s . Beet Sugar Company Incorporated. ALBANY, N.

No Settlement Arrived At Re- specting Affairs in China. Public Curiosity as to Events in the Soudan Not Likely to Be Gratified. Spectal Dispatch *~ The Call. LONDON, ¥Feb. 7.—The Queen’s speech to Parliament to-morrow is ex- pected to be long, but rather more re- markable for its omissions than its contents. It is quite evident that no settlement has yet been arrived at re- specting China which will admit of more than a bare mention. The same applies to the West African difficulty with France and the troublesome Cre- tan negotiations, which are again in a state of collapse. The public is anxious to learn more about the Soudan advance, but it is not likely to be gratified to any extent. It is said, however, that there will be a long reference to the West Indies and the sugar commission. No proposal will be made to relieve the Indian ex- chequer of the costs of the campaign on the northwest frontier. The message addressed specially to the House of Commons will deal large- ly with the intended increase in the army estimates, with a view of | strengthening the army and amending the conditions of the service. Some fourteen new bills are mentioned, most- ly of local interest. The Marquis of Salisbury and the other leaders gave the customary par- liamentary dinners this evening. Lord Rosebery returned to town to-day from Naples. NGELES COUNCILMEN Continued from First Page. S. Griffin, P. Beaudry and S. Lazard, un- der the contract in writing purported to have been made between the Mayor and Common Council of the city of Los An- geles, party of the first part, and said Grifiin, Beaudry and Lazard, parties of the second part, bearing date of July 20, 1868, and recorded in the office of the County Recorder of the county of Los Angeles, State of California, in book 1, of miscellancous records, pages 428 et seq., be and they are hereby reguested to fur- nish, as soon as practicable, to this Coun- cil, an itemized list or inventory with a particular description of all the water works purported to be leased -to said | Griffin, Beaudry and Lazard In and by sald contract; and also of the Improve- ments made in, about and upon said wa-’ ter works in pursuance of said contract, (the value of which improvements the municipal corporation, the city of Los Angeles, is, according to the terms of the said contract, obligated to pay sald Grif- fin, Be iry and Lazard or thelr assigns at the expiration of thirty years from the execution of sald contract), together with the name or names of the corpora- tion or corporations, person or persons, entitled to receive payment of the value of each and every parcel of said improve- ments under and by virtue of the terms of said contract. Resolved, further, That in case said successors in interests of said Griffin, Beaudry and Lazard fail or refuse to furnish, within a reasonable time, to this Council, such list or inventory, the city of Los Angeles will consider itself re- leased from any obligation of endeavor- ing to agree upon the value of sald im- provements with sald successors, or of | arbitrating with them concerning such value. Resolved, further, That the City Attor- ney be and he is hereby directed to trans- mit a copy of these resolutions to the Los Angeles City Water Company and to the Crystal Springs Land and Water Com- pany, and to demand from each of said companies compliance therewith. Mr. Hutchison offered to amend so as to require an answer from the wa- | ter company within two weeks. Messrs. Nickell and Toll argued that the rec- ommendation of the city’'s legal advis- ers should be adopted literally and without change. Mr. Grider supported the amendment and the roll was called. In explaining his motion Mr. Toll in- sisted that no matter what action | might afterward be taken In regard to | the matter by the Council, there was no question that the resolution should be adopted as offered. The amendment was lost and the motion for the adop- tion of the resolution carried. Later Mr. Hutchison introduced the motion which unanimously carried that two weeks be fixed as the time within which the water company shall file its inventory. This is the first resolution that the present Council has adopted which has had about it anything to indicate that the city meant business in its dealings with the water company. It will be noted that the corporation is this time informed that the city will take a de- fault in the event of its failure to re- spond within two weeks. If this policy is continued and this corporation is given to understand that the Council is not to be trifled with, municipal con- trol will be an assured fact within six months, and the syndicated local press will have met with a complete rout. The Council also adopted the follow- ing resolution this afternoon: Resolved, That the Water Supply Com- mittee be hereby instructed to reopen ne- gotiations with the Westside Water Com- pany with reference to a possible pur- chase of that portfon of their plant used in furnishing water to the inhabitants of the city. The Westside Water Company is a minor corporation and until an investi- gation is made no one knows what it has to sell to the city, if anything. There will be strenuous objections made to unloading on the municipality a lot of valueless stuff in the shape of rusty water mains and inadequate wa- ter rights, whether owned by the West- side Water Company or any other cor- poration. Jesse Grant to Raise Coffee. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb.7.—Jesse Grant, son of the late General Grant, is making a trip of investigation through the coffee country of the Pacific slope of Mexico, with a view of purchasing a tract of 50,000 acres of land, which he proposes to colo- nize with Americans.

Found Guilty of Having Vio- lated Laws Governing Distilling. Ordered to Pay Over Fifteen Thou- sand Dollars Into the Govern- ment Coffers. Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Feb. 7.—A sensation has just come to light in connection with the Barton estate vineyard, one of the largest in the county. It has become known that the vineyard has been very heavily assessed by the United States Government for irregularities in the matter of distilling, the penalty fixed being the unusually heavy fine of $15,- 240. The report upon which the big as- sessment was based was made by Rev- enue Agent B. M. Thomas, who visited the vineyard last November in com- pany with Al Griffin, the local revenue officer. In addition to the heavy pen- alty imposed on the owners of the prop- erty, the United States Gauger sta- tioned there, Mr. Lampkin, was sus- pended, and about a week ago he re- ceived word of his dismissal from the service. Revenue Agent Thomas received in- formation that the vineyard was not being conducted in conformity with the United States revenue regulations, and last November he and Griffith made an inspection. They verified the report by questioning the gauger and Colonel Trevelyan, the manager of the place. The still was not surveyed accurately, and it produced more than it was gauged to do in a given time. In order to make the still appear to produce the proper amount the books were doc- tored, false entries being made of the, number of days in which it was run, a greater number-of days being marked in the books of the gauger than the still was actually in operation. When ques- tioned in regard to doctoring the books, Gauger Lampkin admitted it, but when Colonel Trevelyan was asked in refer- ence to the days in which the still was operated he declared that it was run on all the days that the books showed it to have run. The revenue agent made his report to the commissioner at Washington, who fixed the amount of the penalty at the heavy figure stated. The news of the action of the commissioner was soon whispered about among the vineyard- ists and wine-makers and it created a big sensation, as the fine is regarded | as particularly heavy, and, if it is col- | lected, it will seriously cripple the es- tate. Ex-Deputy Collector of Internal Rev- enue Youngberg arrived here to-day from San Francisco, and has been re- tained by the Barton estate to en- deavor to procure a reduction of the as- sessment or an abatement. He in- quired into the facts and will present a petition to the commissioner at Wash- ington, asking for an abatement. It is | believed here, however, that it will be | extremely difficult to prevail upon the ccl»mmlssioner to even reduce the pen- alty. TRIAL OF [OLA. Continued from First Page. Colonel Picquart, emanated from one of Colonel Paty du Clam’s own friends and not from Colonel Picquart. Coun- sel is willing that Colonel Paty du Clam’s evidence be given behind closed doors if necessary. There is another application calling for the appearance of Generals Mercier and Boisdeffre and others. It declures that they have no right to absent them- selves on the plea that their evidence is not necessary, as that is for the court and not for them to decide. The court postponed decision until to-morrow and the case was ad- Jjourned. Rain prevented a large crowd from assembling around the court, but the corridors of the courthouse were packed with people warmly discussing the trial. On the conclusion of the proceedings as General Genz, who was present in the courtroom in full uniform emerged, accompanied by an orderly, he was greeted with shouts of “Vive l'armee,” and a number of people followed him, cheering until the police dispersed them. M. Zola conferred with his counsel, M. Laborie, for half an hour in a pri- vate room and then left by a private staircase and emerged through the por- ter's lodge, but he was recognized as he drove away. The crowd was divided, some cheering the novelist and others denouncing him. WAS THE WILL SIGNED AFTER CREEDE’S DEMISE? Contestants Introduce Testimony to Prove Their Remarkable Contention. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7.—The taking of testimony In the Creede will case was re- sumed to-day before Judge Clark. The contestants introduced Ben Goodrich, an attorney, who testified that John T. Jones, the attorney for the proponents of the will, had told him several days after Creede's death that the will was not signed. William Phiefer, a brother-in-law of Creede, swore that he was at the house during the entire week prior to July 7, 1857, the date of the alleged sign- ing of the will, and Creede was not there during that period of time. Max Gumpel, the San Francisco expert, testified that the name of N. C..Creede had first been stamepd upon the paper with a glycerine stamped upon the paper with a glycerine over with a pen. After argument by the attorneys for both sides of the case was taken under advisement by the court. —_—— Contractor Long Missing. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7.—D. H.

It ap- peals to the officials, the gentry and merchants to assist the Issue in the re- mote possibility of raising enough to meet the installment due next May.
