WASITINGTON, Nov. 2L.—An Ameri- | can shipbuilders’ trust is already loom- | ing up as e result of the war with| Spain. The Navy Department had u] strong intimation frem the shipbuild-| ers recently that stiffer prices will pre- ‘ vail in future, and an unmistakable in- | dication of what is in store has been | disclosed at a meeting held in New York several days ago, when the repre- sentatives of firms whichhave contracts | for the obsolete and discredited type of | single turret monitors practically pooled their interests and determined, figuratively speaking, tp put screws on the Government before they got through with the job. | "t is the understanding here that those who took part in the meeting | were Henry T. Scott of ths Union Iron Works, San Francisco, contractors for the Wyoming; Superintendent Hans- com of the Bath Shipbuilding Works, | contractors for the Connc . icut; Lewis Nixon of Elizabeth, N. J., contractors for the and an official of the Newport ws Company, contractor for the Arkansa Mr. Scott and Mr. Hanscom were in hington to-day and are to appear with Mr. Nixon and probably Superin- tendent Post of the Newport NewsCom- pany before the Naval Bureau chiefs at a special meeting of the board of construction to-morrow morning, to | reply to questions raised by the Navy Department in relation to the possi- bility of getting decent warships of the monitor type within the limits of the Congressional appropriation. The authorities are fully determined to make an example of the contractors if any extortion is attempted, even to the extent of debarring them from bid- ding for future work . TIE VOTE FOR TREASURER. Interesting Coxfiplicatlon in Santa Clara County. SAN JOSE, Nov. 2L.—Jus. who will be given a certificate of election for the | oftice of County Treasurer is puzazling the people of this city and county. The can- vass of election returns by the Board of Supervisors gave E. W. Conant, Good Government League and Democratic nomines, a majority of one over Joseph Lotz, gang Republican. Just before the officlal vote was an- nounced to-day Lotz appeared before the | board and asked that the vote for Treas- | urer be recanvassed. This was readily | agreed to, all_the Supervisors voting aye except Roll. Lotz claimed that in Berry- essa an extra vote had been counted for Conant. He said the tally sheet showed in one place a block of four yotes instead of five. In order to decide this the tally |'sheet in the hands of the inspector at - sent for. When Highland Teached it was found that precinct w: Lotz had one more vote than was count- | ed. This was given him and made his | vote a tle with Conant. The Highland | tally sheet kept by the Inspector has also been called for. All kinds of rumors are current on the streets to-night. One is that the Supervi- | sors are attempting to count Lotz in, | and another that they will make the vote a tie and have another election for Treasurer, as the gang is afraid that a contest for the office may disclose fraund. The Supervisors are being openly criti- cized for their action in the matter. The vote for County Treasure has | changed frequently sirce election, The re- | turns on their face showed that Conant | was elected by sixteen votes, and Lotz conceded his defeat. The official can- | Vass changed ten votes in Rucker pre- cinct to Lotz, and in another five were an taken from Conant. This left Conant one | ahead of Lotz. The recanvass to-day has made them a tic, and Lotz's friends are relying on Berryessa precinct to put him one ahead. It is hard to understand how the extra vote in Highland escaped attention in the first official canvass. That place gave Lotz 15 and Conant 5. To-day Lotz nad one more. After it was canvassed the tally sheet was handed around the room, and fifteen or twenty persons saw it. The Berryessa tally sheet sent for gives Co- nant 93, Lotz 96. This is the same as the sheet In the clerk's office. Unless some | excuse arises in the count of other pre- cincts to give Lotz another vote it will remain a tle, and another election wiil follow. e WATSONVILLE MOURNS. | Tribute to the Late City Councilman Kennedy. | WATSONVILLE, Nov. 21.—The public | flags of the city are flylng at half-mast | in respect to the miemory of City Coun- cilman Thomas Kennedy, who died at St. | Mary’s Hospital in San Francisco on Sun- day. Mr. Kennedy was a native of Ire- | 1and and 68 years of age. He came to this | city in 1556 and since then had been en- gaged in the livery stable business.

Two Oakiand fish dealers, George Smith of 914 Washington street, and John Ruck- er of Washington and Twelfth streets, were yesterday made to feel the penalty of violating the game laws of the State. Last Wednesday they were arrested by Def)ut,\' Fish Commissioner John Davis for selling bass weighing less than three pounds. Davis purchased two small fish for 25 cents from each place, Whflcl\Thha e men were released on $10 ball, and when the cases were called on last Friday they forfeited their bail, evidently supposing that this was the last of the matter. In this they made a serious miscalcula- tion, for yesterday Judge Moore had them brought into court on bench warrants. He I heard the evidence and examined the fish. Without much ado the Judge imposed a fine of 330 on each offender, and made | some pertinent comment. upon folks who | encourage people to violate the laws of | the State by buying and disposing of thé | product of such offense. The fine of $30 | added to the forfeited bail of $10 brought | the price of the fish up to about $80 for ;le:gs two, to say nothing of the lawyers® WEALTHY FILIPINOS ARRIVE ON COPTIC ALL THEIR PALACES PLACED AT | DISPOSAL OF OUR TROOPS. They Gave Aguinaldo $10,000 With | the Understanding That He Should Fight Solely for Annexation. Don Maximo and Don Angel D. Cortes, brothers, and Filipinos of much wealth and distinction, arrived here from the Philippines yesterday and registered at the Palace. They bear the following letter from Consul General Hongkong; interesting Wildman of | “Oct. 22, 1898. “To Whom It May Concern: This is to | certify that Don Maximo Cortes is at present the head of the wealthy and dis- tinguished Cortes family of Manila. He is also the representative of the wealthy and educated citizens of Manila who, from the commencement of the late war, have advocated the annexation of the| ands to_the United States. On May 6, 1888, Don Maximo on behalf of his family sent a cablegram through the consulate to President McKinley, submitting his allegiance and praying for citizenship. Shortly afterward, in my presence, he gave General Aguinaiuo $10,000, on the understanding that Aguinaldo 'was to fight solely for annexation. With the | occupation’ of Manila by Admiral Dewey | and General Merritt, he placed all his | palaces and houses at the disposal of our | forces, and they are now being occupied by thém, rent iree. General Merritt ac- | knowledged the Gevernment service ren- | dered to our forces, both in my presence | and to his successor, General Otis.

Investors Fearful That the $300,000 Judgment Will Melt Away and Leave Nothing for Them. ‘When, at the end of seven years’ litiga- tion, with all its dips, spurs and angles, over $300,000 was paid by defendants into court the fore part of this month to sat- isfy the Hale & Norcross judgment, the stockholders indulged in the high hope that something was at last coming ta them. As between $6 and §7 a share has been levied and collected gn the stock. by ‘way of assessments since the suit was be- gun it has not been a very, profitable turn for those who got in early. The receiver, J. J. Groom, having falled to give his bond for $50,000, Banker Hell- | man kindly came to his relief upon condi- tion that the money should be deposited in the Union Trust Company. A distribu- tion of the money tlien seemed to be in order. The judgment provided for a tee of 25 per cent of the amount to Attarney Baggett, which was promptly paid over, as the stockholders cheerfully recognized his right to this allowance for long, faith- ful and valuable services. This left some $225,000 in the hands of the receiver. The Grayson board (Grayson beln; claimed to be another name for Hayward) then annlied to the court to have this money turned over to the company. It was talked on the street that a dividend of $1 to the stockholders was all that was to be expected. To this the Fax and Bag- gett board objected, also a large majority of the stockholders, who were very sus- picious of the Grayson board. A meeting of the stockholders was held on Tuesday, November 15, at which more than two-thirds of the whole stock was represented. A resolution was passed de- manding a dividend of $1 50 a share, also recognizing the Fox board and expressing confidence In it. As $150 dividend was only about 5 per cent of the judsment, the demand of the stockholders for that amount can hardly be considered extor- Hosout. the 1 t th out e time of this meeting Judge Hebbard, without notice to anybody, made an order allowing Receiver Groom $5000 and his attorneys, Lindley & Eickhoff, the same amount, on account to that date. As the services of the receiver up to that time only consisted in paying Mr. Baj ex«gted on the nart of the stockholders to know what may be the meaning of the ‘words ‘‘on account.’” It has been suggested by some of the stockholders that unless an understanding | is soon reached by the contending boards and themselves they may be painfully re- minded of the fable about the cat and the cheese.

The firémen had worked in the burning building for nearly an hour and had the flames well under control before the bodfes were discovered. Quong’ Sin Lung, a merchant on Du- pont street, and the father of Ah Qul, the burned boy, was away from home | when the fire started, and when he re-| turned told the police that he feared his | son was still_in the bullding.

Wong Gow_came here recently from Silver City, Idaho, where he has been | in business. He was on his way to China and was to have sailed on the Coptic, | having secured passage on that vessel.

He became excited, drew a knife and slashed his defamer. The wounded man then made & lunge at Ung Gor, cutting him in the abdomen. uUn Gor's opponent was spirited away, an just how serfously he is wounded is not | known. The excitement of his encounter seemed to eraze Ung Gor, and brandishing ..is knife above his head he drove the crowd in front of him until stopped by Special Larry Sellinger. The infuriated China- man almed a blow at the special, who dodged it. Officers Knight and Galloway rushed to the scene of the disturbance and were attacked by Ung Gor. Officer Knight's corpulent stomach attracted tae Chinaman’s eye, and toward it he lunged his knife. How he came to miss his mark Knight is unable to explain, but not wish- ing to run the risk of a second attack en that, his weak point, the officer laid Ung Gor low with a blow from his club. The vicious Chinese was taken to the Harbor Hospital, and after his wounds .were dressed was locked up at the California- street station on the charge of assault to commit murder.
