It re- sulted in a walkover for Goff. It was the Westerner’'s first appearance in the East, and he won the admiration of every one. : In the first two rounds neither went at it very hard. In the third Goff landed frequently on his opponent. He planted three left jabs on Hennessy’s face, and when the gong sounded the latter s not anxious to continue. When time was called for the next round he refused to go on. This action on the part of Hennessy increased the admiration for his opponent, who never lost his temper during the bout and showed himself a born fighter.

APPEAL FOR RECOGNITION ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO AID THE INDUSTRY. Resolution Favoring the Establish- ment of a National Depart- ment of Mining Is Adopted. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE CITY, July 9.—The sec- ond session of the International Mining Congress practically completed its busi- ness at the morning session to-day. The most important matter under con- slderation, and one of the chief objects of the mining congress, was the estab- lishment of a national department of mines and mining. P. W. Gates of Chicago introduced u resolution providing for the establish- ment of a department of the national Government to be known as the Depart- ment of Commerce and Industry, under which the mining interests should have a bureau. The resolution met with strong opposi- tion from the Western States. The West- ern delegates maintained that mining was equally as important as the agricultural interests and that simply a bureau would be of no practical benefit. The committee on resolutions present- ed a substitute for the Gates resolution, in which the committee recommended an independent department of mines, and after considerable discussion the r tion was adopted almost unanimous y.

LOS ANGELES, July 9.—The Populist delegation from Southern California to the State convention left this city this evening for Sacramento, to be on hand early and take part in the contest over organizing either for or against fusion. The delegates were accompanied by the following prominent Silver Republicans and Democrats: Nathan Cole Jr., Na- tional Committeeman from California for the Silver Republican party; F. J. Cooper, secretary of the State Committee of the same party, and Sutherland Hutton, chairman of the County Committee. Dr. R. W. Hill, chairman of the Democratic County Committee, will be on hand. Most of the delegations from southern countles are for fusion. Their plan is to nominate James G. Maguire for Governor, by acclamatjon if possible. The Populists will make nominations for Lieutenant- Governor, State Controller and State Su- verintendent of Public Instruction. The Silver Republicans will k the opulists to nominate two Silver Republicans. They want Judge Walter Van Dyke of this county for Associate Justice of the Su- preme Court and H. A, McCrancy of Sac- ramento, who has been appointed secre- tary of ‘the Silver Republican National Committee, named for Secretary of State. This would leave the Democrats nine places on the State ticket, counting Ma- guire as a Democrat. The Populist delegation from this county will present the name of Edward L. Hut- chinson, a member of the City Council here, for Lieutenant Governor. The idea is to give the State Committee power to fill all vacancies, and after the nomina- tions for the offices named are made the Populists are simply to leave blank eight nominations accorded to the Democrats. ot TULARE REPUBLICANS.

Huntington was asked last night whether he was Interested in the pur- chase of the Galveston, Laporte and Houston Ralroad, which was bid in at foreclosure sale two or three days ago by George C. Holt of Woodstock, Conn., for $400,000. The rallroad was ordered sold by the United States Court in Texas some time ago, but the upset price of ,000 was higher than any bid received. Subsequently the upset price was re- duced. Mr. Huntington would not say that the road had been bought for him, but he in- timated that such might be the case. He said he was interested with Eerscn! ‘who, he believed, were going to bid_for the road. He did not know Mr. Holt and, therefore, was not prepared to say whether or not his friends had secured possession of the property. Mr. Hunting- ton said he personally made an offer for the Galveston, Laporte and Houston some time ago, but it was refused. ———————————— Advances made on furniture and planos, with | or without removal.

WRONGED BY SHAREHOLDERS IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN FOR 1THEM. Says There Seems to Be Some Com- plaint in London, but It is Without Founda- tion. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 9.—Collis P. Hunting- ton, president of the Southern Pacific Company, when Interviewed regarding the bearing of the proposed plan of a Cen- tral Pacific settlement on the affairs of the company, said: ““We have not made up our minds what we had better do. The bill gives some little time to fix the matter up with the Government, and many things are likely to happen in twelve months. My im- pression is there will be some arrange- ment arrtved at satisfactory to both the Government and to the shareholders. “I have myself been pretty busy with the road. In-fact, I built it. My in- terests are still largely identified with it. I have some shares for which I was at one time offered 76%, but I did not want money and did not sell them. I have always falth that people can obtain just about the right thing If they go about it in the right way. There seems to be some complaint in London about me, but 1 myself know that I am doing the best I can for the shareholders. All the trans- continental roads have gone into bank- ruptey twice except Mr. Hill's Great Northern. I have the Central Pacific al- ways in a position where it has pald its bills, except to the Government, and 1 may add right here that when the Cen- tral Pacific bond bills were passed by Congress in 1862 and amended in 1864, no one supposed that anything would be paid the Government more than the services rendered the Government. If these ser- vices taken into consideration it woula be found that the Government had been pald far and above its investment. “I am looking out more particularly for shareholders. We want to take care of them. The Government has received 33 in benefits for every $1 it advanced in the construction of the road. There are some eople in Congress who make it their bus- ness to tear down things, but the share- holders of the Central Pacific should cer- tainly be pald and I have every hope that they will be pald. “As 1 have already said, T believe the bill will lead to something else. Our Govy- ernment destroyed the Central Pacific. It gave the Northern Pacific and the Atlan- tic Pacific land grants twice the value of those given the Central Pacific. In build- fhg those other two roads it did not in- crease the business to be carried, and, what is far worse, competition cut down transportation rates. There is not busi- ness enough for all the roads. Competi- tion meant death to the earnings of the Central Pacific, but when we get Central Pacific affairs adjusted we can run in harmony with the Southern Pacific and eventually, T believe, Central Pacific shares will get back to their best price.” GERMANY’S GAINS AND LOSSES. There is no reason to doubt the ability of Admiral Dewey to cope with the Ger- man warships now in his nelghborhood, and although eventually the number of these may be somewhat increased, our own fleet will be shortly re-enforced by the Charleston, the Monterey and the Monadnock. After the destruction or cap- ture of the Spanish vessels now cooped up in the harbor of Santlago, the ships under Admiral Sampson would be abundantly able to deal with any naval force that Germany could place in the Atlantic. We may take for granted, therefore, that Kaiser Willlam II would not begin hos- tilities against us unless he were assured of allies among the maritime powers. Pre- sumably, he might count upon Austria, whose naval strength, however, s but slight, and it is possible that he might be supported by Italy, the other member of the triple alliance. It is, on the other hand, lghlf improbable that France would combine with her worst enemy to injure the United States, or that Russia would renounce the advantages of friend- ship with this repubuc for the sake of helping Germany to gain a colgn of van- tage in the Phifippines. It is certain, finally, that there are two powers, the ald or countenance of which could not be secured bg the German Em- peror, znd which, in the event of a gen- eral wor, would be fmpelled by their own interests to side with the United States, We refer, of course, to Great Britain and to Japan, which, in combination with the United States, would be more than & v match for the rest of the world at sea. The Japanese can entertain no kindly feeling for Germany, seeing that the lat- ter power combined with Russia and France to compel the revision of the Shimonoseki treaty and to deprive the Mikado of that foothold on the Chinese | malnland which both Russia and Ger- | many have since acquired. It Is clearly, | also, for the advantage of the Japanese | that, if they cannot themselves pc | the Philippines, those islands should fall | to the United States, which has no desire | to despoil the Chinese empire, rather than | to a power llke Germany, whose designs | have been disclosed by the occupation of Kiaochau. To England it is of manifest importance that a group of islands which | lies between Hongkong and Singapore should not be controlied by the German Emperor, whose colonial aspirations can- not be easily reconciled with the main- tenance and extension of England’s com- mercial prosperity. There is, on the other hand, &n absolute community of interest between England and the United States, so far as the far East is concerned. In a word, we may fairly assume that if the German Em- peror should try to rob us of the fruits of Admiral Dewey’s victory, we should have allles as well as he, and that our allies would be the stronger. The chances are that the outcome of a war between the United States and Ger- many would be, for the latter country, the loss of her colonial possessions and of the Jaboriously constructed navy upon which such high hopes have been based. Such a war would be, moreover, extremely dis- tasteful to the German people, owing to the increase in taxation, the rise in price of food staples, and the debarment of Ger- man commodities from all markets be- vond the sea. For these reasons we do not believe there is any probability of an attempt on the part of Germany to inter- fere with our occupation of the Philip- pines.—New York Sun. —_——— TAXES AND PATRIOTISM. There is an impression that the war taxes are expected to produce something like §200,000,000. It is a mistake. The estimated revenue that will be pro- duced by the new system of taxation amounts in all to $284,000,000, but the rev- enue for the present year upon some of the items amounts to $146,000,000. The dif- ference, $135,000,000, is the increase over the amount levied in times of peace. Strictly speaking, then, the war tax amount to a comparatively small sum and are so well distributed that no one will feel the burden in a serious way. Thus far there has not been an expres- sion of dissatisfaction from any source. This graceful acquiesence on the part of the people is but another evidence of in- tense, unswerving and unquestioning loy- alty. All things, including life and prop- erty, are’ at the command of those in authority, Small wonder, in view of this, that the Old World looks on with amaze- ment at a people contented, happy and prosperous In the midst of a costly foreign war. And a great wonder it would be if any of them should be so careless as to atfempt to dictate what this country should do in the end.

Alleged Vagrants Taken Into Cus- tody Only to Be Released With- out Being Sent to Jail, Speclal Dispatch to The Call SAN RAFAEL, July 9.—It appears that seeing the law in poolroom cases as others want them to see it is not the only weakness to be laid at the d of Jusllvces of the Peace in S&\usal;)toof‘ L_ate this evening the Board of Super- Visors adjourned its session until the 19th insti, weary and indignant. The cause of its extra labor was due wholly to certain practices of the Justices, the worst being that of running up bills without any material gain accruing to the people. District Attorney Mar. tinelli was kept busy all yesterday and to-day examining these bills and con- ferring about them with the board. In explaining the matter he said: - "“Arrests appear to be made in Sausa- lito without any good reason whatever. The docket for the past three months shows some seventy arrests, most of them being for vagrancy. The shailow ground for the arrests is shown from the fact that the docket shows numer- ous entries on which persons were re- leased on agreeing to leave town. This is not a final disposition of a case by any means. But if we made a pmtesf, then they would send everybody ar- rested here and swamp the County Jail, so Supervisors are powerless to remedy the evil, flagrant though it is.” The Supervisors are considerably worried over this leak in the county finances, for each of the seventy cases costs the taxpayers about $7 30, making a total of over $500 for the three months. There was only one case that could be partially remedied.
