THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 18Y8. ALL CALIFORNIA TO BE BENEFITED BY THE EXTENSION President Ripley of the Santa Fe on the Bakersfield - Los “Angeles Railway. Hopes to Make Arrangements Whereby His Line Will Exchange Business With the Valley Road. CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe Railroad was seen at his home at Riverside and asked to give his views of the effect on California and the Southern Pacific Railroad of the construction of geles Railroad. He said: the Bakersfield and Los An- “The names of the incorporators of the Bakersfield and Los Angeles road indicate that the proposed road is to be an exten- sion of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley road, which is now built down the valley as far as Bakersfield, and will prob- ably have a terminus on San Francisco Bay within a year. Pre- sumably the intention in building to Los Angeles is not only to connect there with the Santa Fe Southern Pacific Company for Southern California. system, but to compete with the business between Northern and “We have no traffic contract with the Valley road, having heretofore had no way of connecting with it, but if the interven- ing link is to be built it will doubtless result in our exchanging more or less business with the new road. “The line to be built.passes over the Tehachapi Mountains at a considerable elevation, and I should say it would take nearly a year to finish it, so that no immediate change is imminent. “As to the effect on the Southern Pacific, it can only be said that when this road is completed there will be two railroads competing for trade in Northern California. Heretofore there has been but one road there, while in Southern California the Santa Fe has been a competitor. “The northern part of the State will undoubtedly be great- ly benefited by the construction of this new road.” USION A FIZILE I LOS ANGELES 1 Three Platforms That| Disagree. | i PULL AGAINST EACH OTHER/ BOUND TO MAKE TROUBLE FOR MAGUIRE.

BISBEE, Ariz., Sept. 20.—Arthur Fin- ney, known as ‘“Pegleg” Finney, a noto- rious character here, was shot and killed at San Bernardino ranch, forty miles southeast of here, yesterday by ex-Sherift Slaughter. Finney hired a livery rig,here on Sunday night and sold it at La Mor- ita, on the Mexican line, robbed a saloon and stable there, stole a saddle, a Win- chester and one of the horses he had sold, and made toward San Bernardino. By a traveler coming to Bisbee he sent them kiil Slaughter was telegraphed to to arrest He met Finney and commanded his Winchester, but Slaughter was too quick and killed him instantly with a load adopted and they do.not by any means | of_buckshot. agree. ulists probably adopted the strongest one.

Barlow, while the Populists in their platform not only indorsed Barlow, but gave him all the credit for results ac- complished at Washington during the past two years in behalf of San Pedro harbor. Senator White was not given credit for doing anything. The fail- ure of the Democrats to mention Bar- low is going to cause trouble, and Judge Maguire, as well as the entire Democratic State ticket, will suffer at the ballot box as a result. The meetings at this time are mere- 1y adjourned sessions. Fusion agree- ment as to the division of offices had all been settled except as to the office of District Attorney. This piece of of- ficlal pie the Silver Republicans had get their hearts upon, Lat thev will not get it. No agreement has yet been ached. reThere would have been a hot fight in the Democratic convention for the nomination for Sheriff, but Senator White interposed his good offices. In a speech in which he made a strong plea for harmony White named Supervisor James Hanly and he was nominated by acclamation. The silk-stocking element of the Democratic party had planned to read half a dozen delegates, Including Thomas McCaffery and A. W. Conkling, out of the party. But Conkling and McCaffery secured a majority of the delegates and the proposition to hu- miliate them was dropped. The proposition of fusion in Los An- geles, as indicated by the conventions to-day, has brought a lot of discordant elements together and it is clear that they cannot work together in harmony. Benator Del Valle made a strong speech condemnatory of fusion in the Demo- cratic convention and he voiced the sentiments of 200 of the 700 delegates. THREE WARSHIPS TO GO INTO COMMISSION Cruisers Chicago and Atlanta and Gunboat Yorktown Will Be Placed on Duty. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: It is the intention of the Navy Depart- ment to place three men of war in com- mission during the coming month. These are the cruisers Chicago and Atlanta, which have been undergoing repairs at the New York navy-yard for two years, and the Funbont Yorktown, which has been put in_condition for service at the Mare Island navi'-yard. The cmcago and Atlanta will be assigned to the North Atlantic fleet until the conclusion of the treaty of peace with Spain, when their future station will be determined. The Yorktown will be assigned to the Asiatic station, where the need of smaller mboats in the waters of China and the lippines is e!é)eclally felt. ; . P.

The Spaniards attribute this heavy death rate to the “inhumanit of the Americans in obliging the sic Spaniards to embark and make room in the hospitals for the Americans.” — GAMBLING MUST CEASE.

Severs All Diplomatic Rela- tions With Italy. PANAMA, Colombfa, Sept. 20. Information was recelved here to-day from the highest author- ities in Bogota to the effect that Colombia has severed all diplo- matic arrangements with Italy. The Government, according to the report, has abrogated all ex- isting treaties between the two countries, has handed the Charge d’Affaires of Italy his passports and canceled the exequateurs of all Italian Consuls and consular agents throughout Colombia. This radical action has been taken, I am informed, as a retal- fation for the humiliation of the country when it was forced a few weeks ago to make acknowl- edgment of its obligation to pay the Cerruti claim at the mouth of the guns of Admiral Candi- ani's fleet at Cartagena. The Government of the coun- try, it is reported, argues that Colombia has n%thing to lose by this course and Italy all. The former’'s exports to Italy are of no importance, while Italy's ex- ports to Colombia are extensive. Many Itallans, it is asserted, will suffer. s %k ok ok sk ok sk sk sk ok sk sk ok Sk R sk sk %k 3k ok ok ok sk K ok sk sk ok sk R ok ok ke g0 e % % o % ¥ ok sk ok ok koK ok ok 3k ok ok ko k ko k ok sk ok K ok ko ok ko ko ko ko k ko ok R E R K X K K X % ERELXERRAERXXRERERR JIN REA FACES A SLANDER SUIT Complaint of Ex-Coun- cilman Jarman. BOSS CALLS HIM A CROOK| SEEKS FIFTY THOUSAND DOL- LARS DAMAGES. Eminent Legal Talent Employed on Both Sides and Much New Political Histcry Is Looked For. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 20.—The $50,000 slan- der suit brought against “Jim” Rea by ex-Councilman J. P. Jarman, com- menced before Judge Kittredge to-day. Great interest is taken in the action and Rea’s henchmen and tin-horn poli- ticians filled the courtroom. An expose( of Rea’s methods of dolng politics is promised. The legal battle will be a hard-fought one. Jarman is represented by D. M. Delmas, E. A. Wilcox and A. H. Jarman, while Rea's attorneys are Senator H. V. Morehouse, D. W. Bur- chard and Ed Rea. Each party to the suit is represented by a son. The complaint in the case states that on March 14, 1895, in the presence of George Koenig, plaintiff and other good and worthy persons of San-Jose, James ‘W. Rea uttered the following words: “There was $900 paid on the purchase of that steam roller to some of the Councilmen and you got $400 of it.” These words are denounced as faise, unprivileged, malicious and defamatory, and it is alleged have exposed the plaintiff to hatred, contempt and dis- grace to the extent of $25,000. ~ As further and separate cause it Is set forth that on March 11, 1898, in con- versation with Samuel G. Tompkins and others defendant Rea spoke as fol- lows: “You have got some crooked men in the Charter Club.” Whereupon Tomp- kins asked: “Who, for instance?” Rea replied: ‘“Jack Jarman. He robbed the city when he was In the Council. What did he do with that $300 that he got on the purchase of a steam roller?” For this slanderous utterance $25,000 is also asked, making a total of $50,000. Great care was exercised in selecting a jury and from the questions asked Jurymen it seems that some new politi- cal history will be made. The prosecu- tion asked the jurymen if they knew Rea or J. D. Mackenzle belonged to po- litical organizations or had relatives in the school department, while Rea's at- torneys wanted to know if the jurors belonged to the Good Government League or Charter Club. The following citizens comprise the jury: J. Clevenger, Otto Brasch, G. W. Leay, Henry Davidson, C. Bertlesman, E. L. Moody, Walter Murray, H. Rich, H. Weilheimer, G. W. Glendenning, J. A. Gamble and A. C. McKenney. Most of them are orchardists and all representative men. J. P. Jarman was called to the stand and questioned by Attorney Delmas. He saild he had resided in this city about thirty years. Witness said he was engaged in the wall paper, paint and oil business. He was elected a member of the City Council in 1895 and served two years. While a member of that body a proposition came up to purchase a steam street-roller. The matter was referred to the street com- mittee, of which he was chairman, and the committee examined the matter and reported in favor of the purchase. This was after Sacramento, Stockton | and -other places were communicated with. Witness, with Councilmen Fay and Nolting, Mayor Koch and Chief of Police Kidward, went to Stockton and investigated the merits of the rol- ler. The Mayor and Council in session considered the purchase of the roller. The price was given as $3900. At witness’ suggestion a reduction in the price was asked. Magarde, agent for the roller, stated that the machines were never sold for less than $3900. Jarman said he suggested that it was customary to make a reduction in the price of articles for cash, and Magarde finally knocked off $200 in the price. On March 14, 1898, he had a conversa- tion with Rea on North First street, near the Southern Pacific Railroad. At that time Jarman was a candidate for Councilman on the New Charter Club ticket, and he believed Rea opposed his election. There were present Mrs, Knox Goodrich and George Koenig and Landers, painters in the employ of plaintiff. Witness was superintending the painting of a fenge. Continuing, he sald: “Rea came along and saild ‘Good- morning,’ and was passing on. He probably had gone a few yards when I followed him and asked him why he had been circulating lies in regard to te. He said, ‘What do you mean? I told him he was stabbing me in the back among the good citizens of San Jose and saying that while I was a Councilman of the city of San Jose 1 was crooked and that I received money on the purchase of a steam roller. He replied that what he said behind my back he would repeat before my face; that there was_ paid on the pur- . poses the C of Agu Boats Seeming BY SOL N. SHERIDAN. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gor- don Bennett. MANILA, Sept. 20.—Visiting General Makabulos, the leader of an insurrec- tion in three provinces—Pampanga, Zambales and Tarlac—yesterday at his headquarters at San Fernando, I found the old rebel greatly disgusted with the high-handed methods of Aguinaldo. It is apparent, despite reports to the contrary, that the “dictator” has not taken the three provinces into camp. “Aguinaldo asked me to attend the Malolos Congress,” General Makabulos said to me. “I did not go. Many members of his own Cabinet were not present. I do not approve his course. He issued a proclamation to the peo- ple of the three provinces, asserting that the Americans called for an as- sessment of $80,000 each from Zambales, Pampanga and Tarlac to pay the war indemnity, in return for which pay- ment independence would be guaran- teed. I sent out tax gatherers and had collected $37,000 in Pampanga be- fore I learned what he was doing and stopped collecting. The Spanish tax hunters were no worse. I would not trust myself at Malolos.” General Makabulos has clearly allied himself to the party opposing the “dic- tator.”” He spoke in the highest terms of Pio Pilar, chief of the insurrection- ists at Manila. At Malolos I saw four new Maxim machine guns. Several thousand stands of Mausers, which were recently land- ed at Catangas, were carried across Laguna de Taal into Bay Lake and Filipinos Smuggle' Guns Through Manila LEVIED WAR TAX IN THE NAME OF THE AMERICANS Insurgent General Makabulos Ex- rookedness inaldo. in ly Laden With Grass for Horses. down Passig River through the Ameri- can lines In native boats, ostensibly laden with grass for horses, and sent out of Manila on the railway. Hun- dreds of these grass-laden canoes passed down Passig River at all hours, affording abundant opportunity for this traffic. Aguinaldo himself gave me every assurance of his good intentions, but he looks worried, being apparently fearful of his followers. He is now en- gaged in rebuilding the wonderful cave fortifications at Blaknabato, which af- forded him an impregnable refuge in the last revolution and which the Span. fards destroyed after the pacification. The Malolos Congress holds session every other day. The report that the Congress voted yesterday in favor of annexation is untrue. The Congress held no session yesterday. SPANISH SHIPS COME UNDER AMERICAN FLAG MANILA. Sept. 20.—Twenty Spanish vessels, including twelve steamers, have completed their transfer to the American flag and a majority of them have now proceeded on coasting voy- ages. There is some uncertainty regarding the native crews on the Filipino ves- | sels. It is reported that they have been committing questionable acts, and the Boston, Raleigh and Manila sailed to- day under orders to protect commerce. The British gunboat Rattler has gone to Cebu. There are rumors that the in- surgents are attacking Cebu and Iloilo. chase of the steam roller and I got $400. I told him it was an infamous lie and nobody knew it better than he. He said that if I was not a cripple he would whack the head off of me. I told him there were other ways of fighting. He | replied that I should get a couple of | pistols and take a whack at him.” | Jarman testified that Rea further | sald: T didn’t see the money paid to you, but I believe you got it.” Mrs. ! Goodrich, he said, was present at the | opening of the altercation, but retired | when the discussion got a little heated. | Delmas then passed the witness and Attorney Burchard began his cross-ex- amination, but Jarman stuck closely to his- original story. Plaintiff said he had known Rea for about twenty- eight_years and their relations in -a business way had been friendly. He had done some work for defendant. Had not consulted Rea about political matters. During the altercation previously de- | scribed witness said he called Rea a scoundrel «nd a knave. At that time | defendant stated that witness had been | out to his home, partaken of his hospi- | tality and had been ungrateful enough not to programme with him. Jarman had heard rumors that Coun- cilmen Fay and Nolting and Johnnie Mackenzie had each received $100 to work for the purchase of the street roller. | Witness was closely questioned as to the conversation that took place be- tween himself and Rea. Jarman ad- mitted that he had at one time taken a trip to San Francisco with Krieg and | Dittus to break a programme arranged by Rea.: He said the trip was made in the interest of honestv and harmony, and he had done what he thought was for the best interest of the city. Jarman had not finished his testi- mony at the hour of adjournment. The trial will occupy at least a week. MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD AT STANFORD Tributes to Late Professors Mary Sheldon Barnes and Margaret M. Wickham, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Sept. 20.—Services were held this evening in memory of Professors Mary Sheldon Barnes and Margaret M. Wickham, who dled this summer. The chapel was filled ‘with students, most of whom had known and appreciated the worth of both women. Dr. Jordan spoke briefly of the work and character of the women who had been assistant professors here. In connection with his remarks on Mrs. Barnes he said that a great deal of the general kindliness and sweetness about the university was due to Mrs. Barnes. | Her gistinctive traits of character, he said, were her wonderful hopefulness of spirit and will power. A letter had been recelved, he sald, stating that Mrs. Barnes would be cremated and buried in Rome, as she belonged to no particular spot, but was the child of the earth. Resolutions of respect adopted by the faculty were read by Dr. Jordan, as well as a history of Mrs. Barnes by Professor Griggs. Dr. Goebel, head of the German depart- ment, with whom Miss Wiskham was closely assoclated in the college, spoke of his former assistant’s wonderful gifts as a teacher and her flne character as a woman. Dr. Howard, head of the history depart- ment, drew a word picture of Mrs. Barnes, who, he declared, deserved a place second to no other woman of this country on account of the valuable work done by her in historical fields, especially in original source and theory of teach- ing. gro(es!ors Cubberley and Fluget and Miss Chandler also eulogized the dead teachers. oha S el LOAN CONCLUDED WITH A BRITISH SYNDICATE China’s Foreign Office Compelled to .

The numerous deaths among stock in that reglon, which have been noticed for some time, were supposed to have been for lack of feed, resulting from the drought. At last J. J. Cuddeback, a prominent stockman, owing herds about Soda and Rock Springs, appeared before the Board of Supervisors and asked for an_investigation. Wise was gent out and found hundreds of head dying, their condition being aprnlllng. The Infected cattie have been driven up from Foster's ranch, near Capistrano, San Diego County, owing to the lack of feed in that district. In stock known as immunes the dis~ase is not de- tected. The fever {s causeu by a tick, about the size of the two first joints of the finger, burrowing into the ‘animal’'s esh. When the cattle are about to dle the tick drops to the ground and hatches out myriads of others, which communicate with the uninfected herds. Immunes, which have had the fever and survived the actipn of the tick, are unharmed. Wise found a large number of herds in- fected. Already about 500 head are dead and as many more are dylnF. The onl; remedy known is spraying with crude oil. Strict quarantine has therefore been es- tablished and Infected herds will not be allowed to move from the locality. Some cattlemen object to the quarantine, as it interferes with grazing, but the step is necessary to prevent the further spread of the dread disease in the county. Notice has been sent to Capistrano to prevent the further importation of cattle genrlng the disease. INSTRUCTIONS AS TO COALING STATIONS Porto Rican Commissioners Ordered to Take Possession of a Site at Once. NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: At the instance of Commander R. B. Bradford, chlef of the Bureau of Equip- ment, instructions have been sent to the American commissioners in Porto Rico directing them to take possession as promptly as possible of any public land which may be available as a site for a coaling station. It is recognized by the officlals that it would not a difficult matter for any unprincipled persons who may be on the island to dispose of por- tions of public lands to private indi- viduals, and it might be consequently a matter of much controversy before the H{ll"ed States could obtain an unclouded e. Commander Bradford also proposes to call to the attention of the department a rlan which should be followed in estab- ishing a wsllnistatlon on the island of Guam, in the Ladrone group. While this island has not been ceded to the United States, its cession will be demand- ed by the commissioners of the United States. When it becomes American ter- ritory the colllers which accompany the battleships to the far East will make a survey of its harbor and report concerr.- ing a coaling station and the point where the pier shall be constructed. o ne <t i Stanford’s Senior Class Officers.

Victim Was a Traveling Man and Had Been Seen at Howell and Ather Places in Oregon. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 20.—With hands and feet securely tied and each weighted a body was found floating in the Willamette River at Salem to-day. The discovery was made by boys in a rowboat. The Coroner was notified and he held 'an inquest on the river bank opposite Salem this afternoon. The body was found to have been wounded by a blunt instrument in the forehead. There was a stab below the right jaw and evidence of a hard blow in the mouth, breaking the upper jaw. “William Gadsby, house furnisher, rep- resented by McGrath, Portland.” A business card of “R. H. Weeks, warm air furnaces,” was also carried. An ex- cursion railroad ticket on the Oregon Rallway and Navigation Company from the Dalles to Grants Pass, good to October 15; a rebate on the Southern Pacific from Junction City to Brooks, used August 17; a poster announce- ment of “The Tennessees,” to appear in Silverton on September 10, and a circular advertisement of the “Peerless Prune Evaporator” were also found on the body. Elmer Herritt, living two miles from Salem, recognized the weights as those taken from a patent gate at his farm on the night of September 9 or 10. The rope with- which the hands and feet were tied was recognized as belonging to the same gate. The parties taking the weights and ropes came in a buggy and left in the direction of Salem. 3 George Plaster, a barber, identified | So the body as that of a person he shave: Saturday.

SALINAS, Sept. 20.—All day the mat- ter of the death of Charles Maguire has been discussed and from all sources come denials of foul play. The District At- torney says that only for the delirious condition of Maguire when he called he would have had an ante-mortem state- ment. « The family are highly indignant over the rumors of foul play and say no state- ment was made by Maguire, as alleged in the reports that have been current.
