Wadleigh of the Rio Grande Railway Will Take a Hand in the Rate War. An arrival which appears to be of spe- cial significance In railroa time is that of F. A. Wadleigh, passenger agent of the Rio e and Western Railway, who came in on the overland on Sunday from Salt Lake City and registered at the Palace. hough Mr. Wadleigh was extremely reticent about the purport of his visit, saying that it was merely for pleasure, ill it is believed that he has come to ave a conference with the Southern Pa- cific passenger officials, having. for i object the reduction of second class rate via the Ogden gateway. Mr. Wadleigh said that he was unaware that the South- ern Pacific had cut second class rates via Mojave, El Paso and New Orleans until informed of it by W. H aker, who met him up the road, and stated emphat- ically that he had not come with the ob- ject ‘of inducing the Southern Pacific to include the routings via Ogden in the re- ductions, although he said candidly: I will go and see Mr. Goodman, the general passenger agent of the Southern Pacifi Company, and have a talk with him.” What the subject of conversation be- tween the two officlals will be is not known, but it will most probably be on the lines just mentioned. What cult appears to have been the diffi- all along in the cutting of rates via has been the declaration of the Pacific Company to its Ogde that in the event of a reduc ctio tion in rates it would exact a higher per- centage as its den. e share of the haul to Og- For instance, at present it receives 16 per cent on $0, the 1ate to points on the M ouri River, thus making its pro- portion of the haul to Ogden $18 40. If the rates to go Into effect on June were to arnly via Ogden it would only get $9 20 as its share. This has been the bone of contention and it is expected that Mr. Wadleigh may arrange some way out of the difficulty, and so allow his line and others out of Ogden to participate in the increased business derived by the reduc- | tion of rates, and a bitter fight with the Canadian Pacific will be the result. e e G A Pioneer at Rest. It is seldom that the passing of a pioneer of this State has brought out more genuine expressions of sorrow than that of the late Willlam Murphy, whose fun- eral took place from Ocean View on Sun- day. It was the largest cortege that ever | went from that locality to Holy Cross Cemetery. The deceased lived and reared a family In the house where he died, and consequently for more than twenty years he was known to all the country round- about. He was generous to a fault and counted every one as his friend. He leaves a widow and four children. A pretty tribute was pald to hi: Cooper of St. Michael's Church. The deceased was 52 years of age and came to California almost directly from Ireland when but a boy. He was mar- ried In this Btate and has never left it since his arrival. He was fond of dogs and his principal diversion from business was In coursing. The only society that Mr. Murphy belonged to was the Order of | Foresters of America. He was a member of Court Farallone. The pall bear. ers were: John D. Daly, Martin Fragley, Senator J. D. Burns, E. B. Lastick Jr., W, | H. Kenney, Walter Van Bergen, Emmett Sullivan and E. S. Casserly. —_————— Unions Against General Otis. The following resolution was unani- mously passed by the San Francisco Typographical Unfon at its meeting on | Sunday, May 29: Resolved, That President McKinley, in ap- pointing that notorious enemy of labor, Har- rison G. Otis of Los Angeles, as a brigadie; general, has offered a deadly insult to every | | member of every n labor organization United States, and especially to the Inter- pational Typographical Union: _that every United States Senator who may vote for oor. firming that appointment is equally an enemy of labor and therefore a traitor to the nation, C. E. HAWKES, President. W. B. BENOIST, Secretary. 5 —_———— Delegates Elected. At a meeting of the McKinley Club of the Forty-second District, held at 1234 Pa- cific street on Friday evening last, the following delegates were elected to the convention to be held on May 31: Joh: Cline, Joseph Murray, John = B.

Eddle Mattison, a bright boy. 15 years of age, applied at police headquarters yes- terday for assistance to enable him to reach Los Angeles, where he has many friends. He got shelter in the City Pri. till to-day, when he will be turned ov::“:g the Mayor. The boy states that he was taken from Los Angeles over a year ago by his three | elder brothers to Wisconsin, where their grandmother lives. They “beat” their way, his brothers compelling him to do the hard work in providing food and shel- ter during the trip. After remaining in ‘Wisconsin for six months the boy got dfs- gusted with the way in which his brothers acted and started to get back to Los An- geles. He stopped over at different places on the road and obtained work, and by that means was able to pay his fare part of the way. He arrived here last Friday, but_his funds gave out and he is now stranded. Ladies’ tailor-; e suits; latest designs; we #ive credit.

Yesterday the invalid was sufficlently strong to leave his couch and sit by the window to watch the passing of a body of troops on their way to the camp at the old Bay Dis- trict track. He also sent to the Heights for one of his confidential servants and discussed with him the details of some business affair, to which his mind has been a blank for a long period.

NEW YORKERS WERE DUPED BY ACTORS. WIFE OF AN ENGLISH LORD’'S SON IN A NEW ROLE. Mrs. Claude Barry Tells of the Rela- tions Between Her Husband and Mrs. Ethel Hertslet. A highly sensational story was re- cently published in the New York Journal and reproduced In its local adjunct to the effect that Mr. and Mrs. Claude Barry, members of the theatrical profes. slon, were starving to death in an East Side tenement in New York city. The the publication in New York was that charitably disposed people came to the assistance of the un- fortunate couple, and soon the lady was offered engagements by no less than seven managers and the alleged husband was given a position as accountant in some business house. Now while the item was doubtless tunates were husband and wife, for the (leave for Manila with troops will fly the | stars and stripes. factulties, and this fact has given added | | the | | | past few days is therefore haliled with | | | real wife is lving in most straitened cir- | | cumstances In this city, by reason of the | duplicity of Ci ude Barry. In a simple way yesterday Mrs. Edith Barry told the true facts of the case, which appear to have been much garbled publication named. Hers was a pathetic story, and it would seem that she and not the guilty couple is entitled to the charity which has been lavished | on the wreckers of her life's happines She briefly related her story, as follow “My name is Mrs. Edith Barry am the legitimate wife of the of the starving to death e with him was formerl who some teen ) rs rald Spencer Hertslet, the vard Hertslet, at one time of the Foreign Office’ in Engiand. In 1885 1 came out to California as a com- f.mniun to Mrs, Hertslet. Her husband had gone into farming in Lake County, but in his case it proved a fallure, a fact widely published at the time. Claude a second cousin of Mrs. Hertslet, came here from England also in 1887, and in 1588 he and I were married. W tilled the soll, but were equally as un- successful as the Hertslets. “Finally we all returned to San Fran cisco, Mr. Hertslet acCfll((n% an enga; ment in the local theaters. Mrs. Hertslet returned to England with her three chil- dren, and after leaving them in care of | her mother she came to this city and joined her husband’s company, both be- ing more or less successful here and in the interior. Finally, on returning to this city, the Hertslets decided to separate temporarily, though amicably, as pros- | pects for them were not of the brightest, and about that time my husband and 1 0 agreed to live apart for various rea- It was then that my troubles com- :nced, for Mrs. Hertslet and Claude Barry began to keep company, at first secretly and then openly. They were tn- | gether at a!l times, often passing me in | the street unrecognized. I suffered in si- lence for a long while, until my husband | brought suit for divorce from me. “On my filing a cross-complaint through Attorneys Knight and Heggerty, who had genemusly volunteered their services, my usband, now recognizing that I would fight him to the bitter end, one day dis- appeared from this cl({. and the next I heard of him was the fact of his starv- ing to death In New York city, a fate he richly deserved. With him was his alleged wife, who is none other than Mrs. Hertslet. They are not married, for my husband and T have never been divorced and I will not allow him to get one. Ger- ald Hertslet has sued for a divorce from his wife on certain statutory grounds, but the case has not ufyet come to trial. So it is a self-evident fact that Claude Barry and Ethel Hertslet are living to- gether in open criminality and the sym- pathy of a charitable public has been misapplied. Through Claude Barry’s mnegligence T have been sick nigh unto death (having spent seven weeks in the hospital), with the barest necessities of life as my portion, and I can but bit- terly denounce the duplicity of a man who had promised to care for me in life. ————————— RED MEN’S JUBILEE. An'a.ngemants_for the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Great Council. The members of the Improved Order of Red Men are making active preparations for the celebration on the Fourth of July of the fiftieth anniversary of the institu- tion of the Great Counnil of the United States. There was a meeting last Satur- day evening in the big wigwam on Post street of the general committee, consist- ing of three members. from the local tribes, those across the bay and from the councils of the Degree of Pocahontas. C. F. Burgman, the great chief of records, presided. During the evening it was an- nounced that an effort was being made to secure one hundred horsemen to take part in the parade. These will be attired in Indian costumes, and, together with about nine hundred members of the order in re- falla ang thres ficats to represent the orthern Indians, another to represent the Southern Indians, and a third to rep- resent the hunters’ period, will make up one of the divisions of the Fourth of July parade. In_the evening there will be a grand ball made in Native Sons’ Hall, The several tribes have alread; lberal contributions to defray the ex- Pmu of the jubilee celebration, and the ndications t to a grand display.

The Oceanic Steam- ship Company's Zealandia and the Pacific Mail Company’s China are both to re- ceive American registry, and when they Both are splendid ves- sels of their class, the China being t..e fastest and best equipped steamer that comes to this port. The China and Zealandla were both built in Glasgow, and for a number of Years flew the British flag. The Zealandia before being taken off the Australian trade, was put under the Hawaiian flag. and last year, after considerable trouble, China also obtained a Hawailan registry. The United States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers are now examining | the steamers, and as soon as their report is made the Hawallan flag will be hauled | down and the stars and stripes will be | raised over each steamer. The China is 4940 tons gross and 2401 | tons net burden, 440 feet 4 inches long, 43 | feet 1 inch broad and 32 feet 8 inches | deep. The Zealandia is 2489 tons gross and 1713 tons net burden, 377 feet long, 37 feet 1 inch broad and 18 feet 6 inches deep. Both steamers are rigged as four-masted | barks and carry quite a spread of canvas. The work of getting the steamers ready to carry passengers began yester- | day. Both will be ready by the end of the week, but it will probably be the | latter part of next week before they get | away for the Philippines. | The officers of the Naval Battalion are | all working night and day getting ready for their examination, which iIs to take | place this week. Physlcally they have | satisfied the demands of Uncle Sam's| physicians, but now they have to pre- | sent themselves at Mare Island and satisfy the examining board as to their | proficiency in navigation and seamanship. Of the rank and file 136 men have been | given a year's leave of absence by the | State, and they will be examined as to | their physical qualifications at 10 Cali- | fornia street to-day. Saturday four of the boys were examined and only one of them came up to the requirements. The | other candidates will have to do better | than that, or else the whole battalion will | have to be examined before the men | wanted are secured. | The famous filibustering steamer Laur- | adg, arrived from Philadelphia yesterday. Mahy a time Captain Scott and his ves- el evaded the vigilant watch kept by the | | Spanish gunboats and landed arms and ammunition on the Cuban coast.

It took her thirty- | six days to steam from Philadelphia to | Sand; Point, at the entrance to the Straits of Magellan, and from that point | the run was made to San Franeisco in | thirty-seven days. It is a long time for a li-knot steamer to take to cover the dis- | tance, but then Captain Scott was not burning any more coal than the law al- lowed. Quite a fleet of sailing vessels made port yesterday. Among them was the bark Sea King from Newcastle, N. S. W. | It took her 103 days to get here, which is | the longest trip this season. The vessel | is very foul through having been a long time off the drydock, and besides she en- countered nothing but light winds and | calms throughout the passage.

John Oppenheim, the well-known water- front clothier, is back in the city again. With the decay of the whaling industry and the total extinction of the San Fran- cisco sealing fleet, Mr. Oppenheim’s busi- | ness fell away to a very great extent. He‘ decided to g0 to Dyea and open a store there, but after a month's stay in that part of Alaska he gave up all thoughts of cttling in t region. -Stores in plenty were for sale, but he did not want them, as, like the w! ing and sealing industry the bottom s fallen out of the Dyea-!

Brogan of Skaguay has been appointed receiver of the Skaguay and Yukon Transportation and Improve- ment Company. commonly known as the Brockett Wagon Road Company.
