To those who are not acquainted with the District Attorney it may be weight has risen to something over three hundred pounds, and is still risin’. If patriotim were to propel him there would be nothing for the enemy to do but get away from there, or get the shed out of him. Mr. Barnes is in dead earnest. His nostrils dilate with ardor, He does not care to go in the ranks, realizing that space occupied by two ordinary men, and thus destroy the symmetry of eyolutions. His friends are somewhat dubious as to his fighting prowess, but think he might be utilized as fortifications. ‘When the first call to arms came, and Mr. Barnes applied to Governor Budd foF a commission, there was none to give. The Governor professed great sorrow, the gentineness of which was questioned by the unin- formed. Mr. Barnes went about his regular business of sending people to jail. sword, he could draw a warrant.

Perhaps, however, the ambition of the one and the deep plot of the other—if such No man can enter the army without having passed a physical examination. This is an or- deal from which the fat are prone to shrink, although not enough to bring them down to regulation weight. There seems to exist a doubt whether a man, be he never so patriotic, never so ready to fall for his country, can get the chance to fall while he has so many pounds that they have to be reckoned on the hay scales. Thh; circumstance may keep Barnes from the front. To accommodate him would require most of the front, and he couldn’t he an army all by himself.

NEVILLS EXTORTION CASE. Motion for the Defendants to Dismiss Argued and Judgment Reserved. When the case of Myron H. Azhderian, Mrs. Elsie Williams and Mrs. Grace Loose was called in Judge Joachimsen's court ypesterday afternoon Attorney Baker moved for a dismissal on the ground that no evidence had been adduced to support the charge of extortion preferred by the millionaire mine owner, W. A. Nevills, He was followed by ex-Judge Ferral, who arguéd that Azhderian and Mrs. Loose should at least be discharged as there.was absolutely nothing to connect them witn the charge. District Attorney Barnes and Prosecut- ing Attorney Graham argued against the motion, and the Judge sald he would take until Friday to render his decision on the motion. —_——— Oriental Rebekahs.

To any one who has watched the course of the Bulletin the opportunity to say a word in praise of that paper comes with | the benison of a visit from the skies. The opportunity is at hand, and is grasped with a sense of joy. The evening paper has become a reformer. It has struck a blow at the demon rum. In a saloon on Van Ness, and probably in other places of a like character, is a sign setting forth that a copy of the Bul- letin will be given free with every 10-cent drink. Perhaps some might jump to the unjust conclusion that this was a scheme to swell circulation up to the affidavit standard, but_the conclusion would be wrong to the Bulletin. It has merely of- fered itself on the altar of reform, a lamb | without a blemish. e Suppos!nfi a4 man staggerlng homeward, laden to the guards an et conscious of a thirst.

The man might be so drunk as to be unable_to realize the danger confronting him. He might rush in where an average angel would fear to tread, throw his dime on the counter, throw the 10-cent drink down his neck, have a Bulletin thrust into his hand and wander forth a doomed, as well as paralyzed, party. Imagine the hor- ror of his awakening. Coming out of his alcoholic dream he would find clutched in his fingers a Gopy of the Bulletin. Would this be merciful? Is it not better that a man have snakes? It would almost seem that the constitutional provision against cruel and unusual punishment had been ignored. Some men earn snakes, toads, four-humped camels, beasts of a thousand horns. But in the name of the Soclety for the Prevention of Heartlessness to vags, anybody ever drink so hard or so_often as to merit the visitation of a Bulletin? —_———————— A Stag Social.

MORE GOLD THAN KLONDIKE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS FILLED WITH MINERAL WEALTH. An Expedition That Had Some Re- markable Experiences—How the Sophie Sutherland Was Sunk. It credence can be placed in the state- ment made by N. P. Sorensen, who ar- | rived In San Francisco from Newecastle, N. 8. W., on the three-masted ship Bel- | ford on Sunday, and who left this city | on September 4 in charge of the expedi- tion sent out by the South Sea Commer- | clal Company, a local corporation, on a | trading and prospecting voyage to the| South Sea Islands, the land south of the | equator has mineral wealth that surpass- es the Klondike. Mr. Sorensen, who was seen yesterday | on board the Belford, on which he is| boatswain, told an interesting story of | the experiences encountered by the party | that left on the Sophie Sutherland, a | three-masted schooner, commanded by | Captain McLean, well known through his | exciting experiences with the Russlan Government. The boatswain was given | a power of attorney by Henry Bowles, | | president of the corporation, and was | virtually in command of the expedition. | The story he told in his quarters in the | forecastle is in part as follows: | *“We left this city for Apia, Samoa, and | | arrived there after a passage of thirty | 0dd days. The only trouble on the trip | was that some of the members of the party refused to work. In Samoa they were informed by a Mr. Moore that thir- ty miles up the coast there was a river containing a copper lode. The steam launch was got out and an exploring party was sent up the stream, but met with disappointment. On our return we | found Captain McLean and many of the | men drunk. While lying in the harbor | a man named Ging went ashore and con- | passengers. “I visited the German Commissioner and obtained permission to prospect | among the islands. We then left for Tu- | lagi to obtain the British Consul's con-| sent, which was granted. “We began mining operations at Moroo | Bay. A shaft was sunk, but water was struck at a depth of eight feet and no results were obtained, although we spent | nineteen days in the task. Captain Mec- | Lean and myself manned a whaleboat and | went up to Makira Bay, where I showed the captain fine red and white marble and also beautiful teak forests. On our return the King of Yanuta, who accom- panied us, informed me that all the mens brought aboard the st one place. He promised to with our party to the minera 2 asked Mr. Goldsmith, a mining expert, to accompany us, but he refused. So the captain, myself and thirty negroes went. We found a reef, through which the river flowed, and a wall filled with decomposing oartz, "We took away some beautiful | épecimens, and one of the negroes brought | us one from a point on the reef 200 feet | higher_than where I stood. Mr. Sorensen then told of prospecting in places suggested by the natives, and pro- duced splendid specimens of gold-bearing | rock, copper, boride of arsenic and other | minerals, some of which were analyzed in | Sydney, and were proven to contain the | substance named. Mr. Sorensen will to- day visit his employers and make his re- port. He will tell of the treatment he re- | ceivea while aboard, how he was put off | at Tulagi without firearms to protect him, | and with very little food; how he ap-| pealed to Capiain Woodford, an old res | dent there, and how he was advised to | leave on the next mail steamer; how he | took passage on the Titus, and how when the steamer arrived in Marau harbor he found the Sophie Sutherland there with her topmasts gone and the vessel partly sunk, owing to the drunken condition of her commander and his crew; how he con- tinued on to Sydney and went to New- castle and shipped before the mast as hoatswain, not having money to pay passage. The tale wiil not only astonish his_employers, but make them indignant at_the treatment he received. Sorensen relates his story in a convine- ing manner, and supports evervthing he says by the most conclusive evidence. SUBDEN DEATH OF JAMES T. WATKINS FORMERLY A WELL-ENOWN SAN FRANCISCO JOURNALIST. Was Employed During the ILast Years of His Life as an Editor of the New York Sun. The tuneral of James T. Watkins, a well-known former Californian, will take place at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning from the residence of 1. B. Owens, 2440 Pacific avenue, northeast corner of Stein- er. Mr. Watkins was for several years one of the editors of the New York Even- ing Sun. On the morning of June 9 he died suddenly while on his way to the Sun of- fice. His remains were forwarded to San Francisco for burial. It was in this city that he ventured into journalism and literarv work, and it was tere that he earned a most enviable repu- | tation in his profession. In latsr years he acquired new laurels in the metropolis. The Jast editorial that he wrote was en- titled “The Naming of the New Saips,” | which appeared in the Evening Sun on the day of his death In the same issuo was _published the following obituary, which is a high tribute to the old Califor- nia_journalist: “Mr. James T. Watkins, long a valued member_of the editorial staff of this pu- er, died suddenly this morninz wnile on | is ‘'way to his office. Mr. Watkins was in | his sixtieth year, and was the only son of the very well known Commodore Watkins of the Pacific Mail Company’s China flaet, celebrated among the old-time sailors of California’s golden days. Mr. Watkins was a very erudite and accomplished writer, a_student-specialist in many sub- jects, and was possessed of a vast store of varied and useful informatiou. He was ar active and leading figure in San Fran- cisco journalism and was one of the prin- cipal contributors to the Overlund Month- Iy during Bret Harte's editorship. Mr. Watkins held a high place in his profes: slon, and his unlooked-for death will be sincerely deplored by his tmmediats ass clates and by a large circle of friends whom his admirable personal had profoundly endeared him.” —_—— Old Friends Will Smoke.
