Mr. Jordan failed to find the despera- does, but they were about the only things that he did not find. To start with, he | found Merced fn the middle of the night | and spent the hours until dawn trying | todiscover whether it was a flea or a bed- | bug that had discovered him, eventually ascertaining that it was the latter, to | whom he was forced to give up his bed | and take what rest he could on the floor. | The next thing Mr. Jordan discovered | only was a mystic maze composed of barb wire just outside of Hornitos. He found the center of the maze one evening at about 7 o’clock and it was about an hour after midnight when he found the way out. He is still taking up the rents in his clothing. The following morning Jordan and a cow became aware of each other’s presence at about the same time. The cow was wearing a brindle hide,a dewlap and a tail, while Jordan was attired in a bright red sweater. The ensuing race was one of the most exciting in the his- tory of mountain sport, and was won by Jordan, who beat the cow to a five-barred hurdle by about a length, though he failed to clear the ditch on the other side. The afternoon of the same day this won- derful discoverer became possessed of a piece of information that will linger in his memory when many another fact shall have faded away and been for- gotten, namely, the surprising force with which a man can fall from a horse whose back looks, to the observer standing in the road, to be not over three feet from the ground. Mr. Jordan wanted a horse and, after some trouble, a small beast of buckskin tendencies and uncertain temperament was procured. The animal was led up to where that gentleman was standing telling an admiring crowd of fellow re- porters of how he used to break his own string when he worked at cow punching, and stood quietly enough waiting for Joe to finish; but as soon as that gentleman had concluded and started to mount him a change came over the beast’'s demeanor. He sidled this way and that, and it was only with the help of half a dozen by- standers that his temporary rider was at length enabled to mount into the sad- dle, where he remained for exactly thirteen seconds, and then hit the road with such force that, when his friends came to his assistance, he said: “Don’'t touch me, boys; the top of my head is cracked clear around, and if you joggle me it will fall off like the top of a split cocoanut. Just tell my wife my last thoughts were of her, and leave me to die in peace.” It was found, however, that things were not as bad as he imagined. He had, for- tunately, fallen on his face, 50 no partic- ular harm was done, Edgar Ashcroft, owner of the Broken Hill mines of Victoria, N. §.

George Condon, a member of the Lon- don Chartered Company’s forces at Jo- hannesburg, is at the Occidental. He ar- rived yesterday and the report is that he is on his way to the Klondike. Mr. and Mrs. Stennett of Brisbane, New Zealand, F. Einning of New Zea- land, D. N. Nolan and family of Auck- land, and M. M. Wilkie of Auckland, all arrived on the Alameda yesterday and went to the Occidental. Among the passengers of the Alameda who registered at the Palace yesterday are E. Howard Taylor of Australla, W. P. Dunlap of Sydney, Alfred Krutz, W. and J. W. White of Sydney, who is ac- companied by his wife and dauhter. J. O. Fairfax, proprietor of the Sydney Morning Herald, and W. G. L. Spowers, proprietor of the Melbourne Argus n,nd Weekly Australasian, are two newspaper men from the Antipodes who arrived on the Alameda vesterday. Both gentlemen are staying at the Palace, and are ac- companied by their wives. Miss Chispa de Greayer Sanborn, daugh- ter of William D. Sanborn, general agent of the Burlington route, who has been spending the winter in the East with her grandmother, Mrs. S. A. Sanborn, of Galesburg, 11 in Chicago, St. Louis and Omaha, re- turned home last Monday, and will here- after be at home to her friends at 1406 Buchanan street. V. M. Clement, a mining man of South Africa, who was one of the Jameson raid- ers, and who was captured by the Boers and only liberated after paying a fine of £2000, is a guest at the Palace, where he arrived yesterday on his way from Africa to the Klondike, where he goes with George Star, another South African ex- pert, to look into the mining opportuni- tles of Alaska. Mr. Clement is an old Californian, being at one time superin- tendent of the Bunker Hill, Sullivan and other mining properties of this State. He is an intimate friend of John Hays Ham- mond and other big American mining men of Johannesburg who have made names for themselves that are known all over the world.

Joe Corbett Ball George Borchers Is Anxious to Get Back Into the Game. Iberg Reported to Have Signed With the San Jose Pacific States League Team. Baseball is booming. ‘White's one-hand grandstand stop yesterday was a feature. Cranks are dividing their patronage between the two leagues. In Hanlon the Garden City aggregation has a good all-round player. All the country teams are showing up ex- ceedingly strong so far. Sacramento has two of the strongest teams ever organized in the State. | Corbett is a versatile fellow. He isas good & ball-player as he is pugilist or actor. A. J. Lowry has been appointed one of the official scorers of the California League. The Fresno (. .fornia League Club has se- cured Mertes and McLaughlin, also an Eastern battery. Pyne’s {ndifferent flelding cost him his job with San Jose. He Is a great shirker of warm srounders, Hilderbrandt seems to have lost his batting eye, but still retains his penchant for gaining his ‘base on balls. Sullivan of Sacramento Is one of the clever- est catchers in the California League. He is a hard sticker, too, Unhappy McGuckin fs playing better ball this year than he did last. He is splitting the seams of the ball, too. It is & pity that the Olympics cannot keep Pompadour Jim on their team, s they are much in need of a hard hitter. Infant Hardle has his lamps trimmed in the right focus. All he needs now is a pair of roller-skates for use on the paths. “Smiling” Mike Steffani still retains his cleverness as a pitcher, but Captain McGucken should t and restrain his wildness. Henry Krug has jumped from the California | to the Pacific States League. Yesterday he | pitched for Oakland against Santa Cruz. Charlle Selno has joined the Stnckton Call- fornia League tes A mew outflelder named | Egan, from the south, has also been secured. Manager Young of the Sacramento Glants | has signed Marshall of Spokane to play second. He Is sald to be a hard striker and fast flelder. Who_ever accused *‘Truck’ Eagen of bein a pitcher? “Truck” should be given his old position at second, a position he fills to a nicety. “‘Blockers'” Hanley catches in old-time style, and as soon as the old man gets In form that left swing of his will send the sphere for a distance. Rube Levy was a little too lenient yesterday in giving Corbett the credit of two double plays, as the runuer looked safe to every one lled out. Eddie Smith's poor showing in yesterday's game is not a criterion of what the clever layer can do, and he is certain to redeem himself ere the season advances. Manager McGlynn is giving his San Jose ag- gregation plenty of work, with most beneflcial results, He Ims a strong team that will be heard from often during the season. How the old-timers are looming up. Har- ain, O'Nelll, Lan: Donovan, Nick Smith, | Phil Knell, McHale, Newbert and the others | are playing the game of their lives. There is a great curiosity to see the Stock- tons at Recreation Park. Several old-time fa- vorites are with the team and they will be warmly received by the local shouters, Tt is rumored that Hughie Smith has been appointed an umpire in the Pacific States League. Hughle used to play with the old Pioneers, but Is now a special officer. Pyne, who was released from the San Fran- cisco California League team, has signed with the Oakland ™~ 7~ States team. He is a terrific batter, but an indifferent flelder. The jog In center-field fence at Recreation Park has been set back sixteen feet, and is to be placed still further back. This will give ample room for long drives into that region. Most of the Sa.camento glants are left- handed batters, and while able to give right- handed pitchers that feeling of languor so | often spoken of, are at the mercy of port-side twirlers. If handsome Mr. Keegan played under his right name he would recefve credit for any good play, but as it is to say anything nice about him seems like giving space on false | pretens: Nick Young has ordered Umpire Jim McDon- ald not to referee any more boxing matches, an unwarranted interference on Young's part. He has always been regarded as a false alarm by Californians. 1¢ the managers of the Pacific States League would give ‘Brother’” Joe Corbett a chance in the box he would have an opportunity to re- deem himself, for if there is one thing Joe can do it is pitch. Joe Corbett should take a few lessons from his brother Jim In batting and he -vill then prove a valuable man. Joe did great work with the Baltimores last season. What's the | matter, Joe—stage fright? Smoke up! The running of free cars from Eighth and Market streets to Recreation Park last Satur- day and Sunday had a most beneficial effect on the attendance at the games there. The rafl- road will continue to run free cars every day games are plaved until the road is changed to an electric 1 The new Tresno grounds were formally opened yester: although the grand stand is not quite completed. They are one of the | finest ball grounds in the State. The Fresno | Tigers will make their first appearance at Recreation Park next Sunday, when they will | meet the San Franciscos. Some time ago it was announced that the left fleld at Central Park was to be moved back, but nothing has been done yet toword this ‘much-needed improvement, and fielders continue to bump up against the boards and watch the ball =ail over for two-base hits that would be easy outs if there was room enough to fleld the ball. There will be no California League game at Recreation Park next Saturday, as the grounds will be given up to the universities for the first of the serles of ames between Stanford and Berkeley. Sunday the Fresno Tigers with their Eastern battery will make thelr bow before the San Francisco cranks, when they will go against the San Franciscos. Joe Corbett s considering the advisability of jumping his contract with Baltimore and re- maining on the coast this season. Joe has under advisement an offer or 52000 to pitch for the Oakland Pacific States League team for the season, and he may accept the offer. Rumor has it that if Joe decides to go Fast he will leave his heart behind him, and rather than separate himself from that vital organ he will forfeit his contract. Iberg is reported to have signed with the San Jose Pacific States League Club. Iberg is one of the best itchers in the State, and his | acquisition will strengthen the team ' where it | is most needed, fc it has been lamentably weak in the delivery department. The voung- ster has fallen heir to a good thing, if reports are true, for he Is credited with having been glven the position of bookkeeper in the big brewery there at a salary of $150 a month, with permission to absent himself whenever he | chooses to practice or play with the team. George Borchers has heen heard from. The old timer writes from Sacramento to a friend | in this city that he has been taking excellent | care of himself of lute, and that he can pitch | better ball than ever before. He would_like to_be glven a trial by some of the teams here. Jim Corbett must be making money by the hat full, judzing from the manner in which he rejects an opportu: ity to pick up a few hun- dred “dollars in a couple of hours. Jim was paid a bandsome sum for his apnearance at Central Park last Sunday, and the Oakland team offered him the same amount to play with them next Sunday, but Jim replied that 1t would be his last Sunday at home for a long {ime;,and he preferred to remaln with his —_—— Christian Association Meetings. On last Tuesday a special meeting of the State Central Committee of the Young Men'’s Christian Associations of Califor- nia ‘was held at the headquarters of the committee in the association building on Mason and Ellis streets at noon yester- day. The third annual summer school for | college students will be held at Pacific Grove May 19 to 29. It was also sug- gested that young men’s councils be held | in various cities of the State during the present year. Steps were taken looking toward the employment of one of the international agents, New York City, to give at least six months' time in the State of California during 1898. Rudolf Horner, who has been the secretary of the Ger- man branch of the assoclation in this city, was elected a delegate to the World’s Conference to be held in Basel, Switzerland, in Ma; ———————— Left a Valuable Estate LEGISLATION FOR HAWAIL Detfeat of the Plan to Increase the House Members. Representatives Will Also Vote Down the Bill to Raise the Salary of Ministers. During the Floods at the Islands There Have Been Four Deaths and Many Acts of Heroism. Spectal Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, X .rch 30.—The bark S. C. Allen, having sped down from the coast in a few hours less than ten days, arrived in port some six hours ahead of the China with the news in regard to the annexation contest, but the bulk of the mail arrived by the Moana this morning. It appears stranze to contemplate, but as usual the ‘“private advices” re- ceived by the Government and also by its opponents are equally hopeful and flattering. Practically the only item of general interest from t1e Legislature is the fact that the House of Representatives has defeated the amendment to the consti- tution to increase the number of rep- resentatives from fifteen to twenty- three. The vote was a tie of 7 to 7, but the Speaker, John Lota Kaulukow, after a long speech, cast his vote against the bill. It may be interesting to know that the Speaker was elected by 176% votes at the last election, and that he was selected as Speaker of the House on account of his oratorical pow- ers, and as past legislative experience has proved, a tiow of words to which the simile of a mountain torrent fed by a cloud-burst would be tame. Mr. Kaulukou has held high office, having been Postmaster-General, Tax Asses- sor in Chief and Marshal. He is a law- ver by profession and a handsome, portly man, bearing somewhat of a re- semblance to the late King Kalakaua. A judgeship will probably be the ad- ministration’s douceur to him for his political services. It is difficult to ascertain the true motive of its action, but it is under- stood that the House intends to cruelly slaughter the bill to increase the sal- aries of ministers to $6000 a year, on the grounds that the ministers have not themselves asked for an increase and do not desire it, and the people know- ingly smile at their innocence and pa- triotism. The fact probably is that it is not deemed desirable to make the perquisites of a portfolio sufliciently tempting to attract political competi- tors, the patronage in itself being suf- ficlently valuable from a politician’s standpoint. In spite of the urging of the press, for once combined on the issue, and popu- lar clamor, the proposed amendments to, or repeal of, the penal contract la- bor laws appear to sullenly hang fire. It is feit in higher circles that such leg- islation would be disastrously “inoppor- tune. Eventually the measure, toned down, will probably pass the House and be safely “dosed” in the Senate. The policy of the Government now is to go in heavily for public improve- ments, especially in the line of develop- ing our internal means of communica- tion. The roads contemplated will fur- nish employment to a vast number of men now unemployed. It is felt that some such policy must be seriously pur- sued to prevent labor troubles, more especially as the improvements con- templated will add materially to the resources and revenue of the country. The proposed adoption of the income tax law will have to be abandoned for this session, for it is understood that the executive and the Cabinet have joined the opposition forces. The op- position is not based against the prin- ciples of the system, but against the methods and the present “inopportune- ness” of disturbing the revenue sys- tem. ‘We are now in the sixty-sixth day of rain and stormy weather, and floods have been prevalent all over the is- lands, bridges and causing disastrous dam- age. In Honoluly, on the 24th, a freshet caused the Minanu stream to burst its bounds and flood a considerable district. One life was lost, that of a Japanese, after a really heroic endeavor at res- cue at the imminent peril of his life by William Wells, a sailor on the R. P. Rithet. Wells has been rewarded by the Japanese Minister and residents with a testimonial and a watch, and the townspeople will present him with a gold medal and a purse. Another gallant rescue from the swol- len stream was that of a pupil of St. Louis College, Buto, by his schoolmate, Morris. Considering the juvenile age of the boys it was almost marvelous. So far as reports have arrived from the other islands about four lives, As- iatics, were lost. Japanese Yellow Journalism. Buzzo Washizo, editor of the Azohi- zushi, a weekly newspaper published in this ecity, was indicted by the United States Grand Jury last Tuesday on a charge of publishing obscene matter. The complainant is another Jap, the editor of the Chrysanthemum, a rival publi- cation. The alleged obscenity consists of a play upon words in an article criticizing the editor of the Chrysanthemum, the words used having two meanings, one innocent and the other vulgar. —_————— He Failed to Appear.

The Balance of Power Still Swings Toward C. P. Huntington, Who Will Be Re-elected. The regular annual meeting of thestock- holders of the Southern Pacific Company, which was held yesterday, resuited in the following board of directors being | elected: George Crocker, C. E. Green, | Thomas H. Hubbard, C. P. Huntington, H. E. Huntington, J. Kruttschnitt, Charles G. Lathrop, N. T. Smith, T. E. | Stillman, J. C. Stubbs and Russell J. Wilson. The new board is the same as the old one, with the exception of C. E. Green, | who is simply there to represent W llli Crocker, now absent in Europe, and who | will resign to allow his place to be filled by Mr. Crocker upon that gentleman’s return from his trip. | The board, it will be scen, still gives the | controlling interest to the Huntington faction, which is represented by five of the directors, nbt including Hubbard and Stillman, who represent the Searle stock, and who may be considered as Hunting- ton men. George Crocker and Green rep- resent the Crocker interests, while the only votes that the Stanford people can control in the present board are those of Charles G. Lathrop and R. J. Wilson. It could not be ascertained the amount of stock that was voted, but a fair esti- mate would place it between 1,300,000 and 000 shares. To-day the directors will meet and elect the officers for the ensuing year. While nothing definite can be stated as to what man has been marked out for any partic- ular position, it is a foregone conclusion, with the composition of the board as it is, that C. P. Huntington will have himself re-elected president, and the men who will fill the less important positions will be those whom he wishes there. As there has been no rumor of any par- ticular dissatisfaction, on the part of Huntington, with the men who have filled the different offices for thepastyear, it is more than probable that the same gentlemen will be re-elected to fill the same positions for the ensuing twelve- months. ——— Government Dove Cotes. A. Carlisle, one of the most enthusiastic fanciers of homing pigeons in the State, has prepared a lon - petition to be pre- sented to the large commercial bodies of this city for their indorsement. When signed it will be forwarded to Secretary of the Navy John ». Long, and will recite that the memorialists are engaged in busi- ness concerning the sea, and asking that the cote of homing pigeons now main- tained by the Government at Mare Island be removed to Goat Island, in the bay of San Francisco, and also that a cote be established on the South Farallon Island. The reasons for this request are that Goat Island is situated midway between Oakland and San Francisco and can be reached In half an hour, while it will take at least two hours to reach the Mare Island cote in case the birds showd be wanted. 1hese birds could be used for the benefit of the vast smpping that goes and comes to this harbor. A cote on the Farallon island would be of untold bene- fit in matters relating to weather and shipping, particularly in the case of dis- tress at sea, for tne chances of observa- ihan from any point along the shore.
