Dupuy, had | asked urgenwy. Immediately after the opening of the | session M. Renaud-Morliere, the re- porter of the committee having the re- | vision bill in charge, said the committee | had rejected the measure, “because | when one arrived at the creation of | courts of expediency there was no | ‘further security for any one.” Such proposals, the reporter added, always | aroused indignation, and he asked what could be the motive of the bill, since | the accusations brought by M. Quesnay | de Beaurepaire, former president of the | etvil section of the Court of Cassation, | | against the criminal section of that | body had been acknowledged to be er- | roneous. | M. Renaud-Morliere concluded by as- | | serting that the adoption of the bill | would be a useless one and a dangerous | sign of weakness, also remarking that | “to honor the army it is not necessary | to_dishonor the magistrature.” M. Millerand, Radical Soclalist, made a lively speech, opposing the measure on the grounds set forth in the open letter to the Government, signed by a score of Deputies and a number of for- mer Cabinet Ministers, who declared their intention to uphold the supreme principles of justice as above all at- tack. M. Millerand aroused an immense up- roar by saying that the Republicans only had to note who were backing the bill and the present agitation to know | where their duty lay. The Premier said that the Govern- | ment was prepared to take the whole responsibility for the measure. The | Republicans, the Prime Minister added, could, therefore, vote for the measure | with perfect security. The Government, | he pointed out. was neither the accom- plice nor the dupe of the adversaries of a revision of the Dreyfus trial, but doubts had arisen, causing fears as to whether the sentence of a section of a Court of Cassation was authoritative enough to satisfy and calm the nation. The bill, he insisted, was neither an emergency measure, revolutionary nor dictatorial. It was an affair which was | provoking throughout the world pole- mics which were lacerating French hearts. The trial revision bill was then COLD WEATHER DOES DAMAGE [N MINES Pipes Burst and the Water in Ditches | and Small Creeks Frozen Solid. | REDDING, Feb. 10.—Unusually cold | weather prevailing in Trinity County has | resulted in the general suspension of hydraulic and placer mining, besides the infliction of damage that will require months to repair. A hard freeze came on shortly after the heavy fall of snow, | bursting hydraulic mining pipes in all di- rections and solidifying the water ditches and small creeks. La Grange Company was forced to suspend operations, sus- taining damage to its extensive pipe lines, that will delay resumption of work untii late in the spring. Any attempt to repair the burst pipes would be futile until warmer weather sets in. The Brown Bear mine at Deadwood also suspended opera- tlons in portions of the mine on account of burst pipes. On Stuarts Fork and, in | fact, all over the county where gravel mining is carried on, the freeze has shut | ?l%wn properties that were in full opera- | n. In Shasta County no damage to pipe lines is reported, though the scanty water supply has been entirely cut off and placer mining is suspended. The cold weather, however, has proved a boon to the frult growers, as almond and other | trees are about ready to blossom. Had the cold weather held off a week or so | longer much fruit would have blossomed out prematurely and been destroyed. ke i Small Damage to Almonds. WOODLAND, Feb. 10.—Public Admin- | istrator Dearing, who resides in Capay Valley, was in this city to-day. He puts at rest the disquieting rumors concereing the damage to the almond crop in West- ern Yolo. During the warm wave which prevailed several days ago a few trees hlossomed out. These early blosséms were all killed. In a few other instances | buds began to swell and of course were injured. “The loss is small, however, and probably will not exceed 5 per cent.

Fcoln in (O SCHOOL GIRLS’ O+CHO+ HERE is deep sorrow and anx- fety in two homes on Perry street. Two daughters have left cheerful abodes in search of pleasure and have disappeared en- tirely. Both are schoolgirls under the age of 15, and neither had cause for leaving. Mattie Wyckhoff, who lives at 146 Perry street, was the first one re- ported to the police as missing. Upon investigation it was discovered that Louisa Garecia, of 242% Perry street, had also disappeared, and as they oz ‘were companions it {s surmised they are together. Mattie has never been away from home before, and as her absence stretches into weeks her parents, brothers and sisters fear for her safety. Louise had strolled away on a previous occaslon, yet her ?jt‘»seence is deeply felt by her rela- ves. Boatswain Gus Harris of the Aus- tralia is held responsible for the dis- appearance of the “'{‘ckhofl girl. He is an old friend of her family, and has visited her home whenever his ship arrived in port. Having taken a particular fancy to Mattie, he has usually entertained her by tak- ing her to the theater, but {t was always his custom to hrlni her home. Last Monday evening he es- corted the girl to the Orpheum and since then she has not been seen. Her father, who is employed on the tug Relief, and her brothers have searched everywhere, but without success. Her mother Is broken-hearted, and her father has quit work in his ef- forts to obtain a trace of her.

Before Harris left he told differ- ent storfes to members of the fam- ily. To the father he said he left attie at Eighth and Market streets in company with her friend Louise, after having given them some rides on the steeplechase. Agaln he told her brother that he had left her at the Chutes. Belleving that Mattie would re- turn of her own accord her parents walted a few days and then called in the assistance of the Police De- partment. Detective Coleman, who ‘was detailed on the case, was given a photograph and a complete de- scription of the missing girl. He then visited the distracted mother of Louise and learned that she had left home on the samé evening to g0 to night_school, but had not re- D49+ D+O+D+O+E O+®+® turned.

It is thought the missing girls are hiding somewhere in the city and are afraid to go home. Neither need have any fear of punishment for their actions, as their parents would be overjoyed if they would return. The police are confldent of finding them and are instituting a diligent search. +O+ MORE FISCAL ENTANGLEMENT FOR TEACHERS Salaries That Never Will Be Paid. INJUNCTIONS LYING IN W.‘\IT‘ A PENNILESS TEACHER CRYING IN THE CORRIDOR. How a Bribe-Grasping Director of the Late Board Found His Price Under a Sofa Pillow. The Board of Educatlon is busy issuing salary warrants; the courts are enjoining payments and then modifying their or- ders; the Auditor Is taking his pen in hand to audit, but, checked by another court order or by warning of attorney, stops short, and the 1200 impoverished teachers are turned away unpaid. “To-morrow we will get our salary,” they say hopefully, and look ahead to the next day. But to-morrow follows to-mor- row and there is a fresh obstacle every sunrise. To-day is one of those hopeful “to-morrows” and the court is confidently | expected to bring the January money to those who have earned it. But there is no hope that the dreadful injunction will hold off. Ere the Auditor can audit or the Treasurer can pay, the merchant creditors will tie everything up in a Gor- | dian knot. Only by the intervention of a miracle wifl ‘the November-December salaries ever be paid, and the teacher-creditors wronged by that shameless coterie known | as the “'solid nine” of the late board must settle down to this unchangeable fact. Those warrants have virtually passed into the veét by and by,” where they may be cashed on some ‘‘to-morrow.” This fs not all. The January salaries, in a prob- ability that borders on the inevitable, will unpaid overlap February, and the two months will pile themselves on to March in a jumbled heap. How many more months will be massed in the fiscal wreck no man may say, but the injunction will cover all. 5 Yesterday a sad-faced woman, a $i0 teacher, bunkoed out of three months’pay by Ragan_ et al., agpeared at the Auditor's office. She had heard that her January salary would be paid, and the $40, less the 20 per cent, would fall into her hands like manna from the skies. When | she was told that no demands could yet be signed, she went out into the dark, cheerlgesel corridor and cried. Out of that | golden $130, not one cent could she re- ceive. Just across, the hall over $600,000 is lying in secure boxes, and she is desti- tute. Curfous passers-by stopped and stared at the sobbing woman. Presently an employe in one of the City Hall de- partments, to whom the sad-faced, tearful woman teachers haunting the corridors have become an every-day spectacle, whispered her story, and the crowd, out of respect for her tears, sympathetic for one in_ distress, moved away, and she wept alone just without the office door of the city treasucy, where her all on earth lies behind slabs of triple steel. There is another teacher haunting the corridors of the City Hall and her story, while not possessing the pathos of tue other, will serve as a sample of the late board's villainy and cupidity. Early last vear her mother, a woman only in moder- ate circumstances. living in this city, be- gan seeking a position in the School De- partment for her daughter, a capable teacher, having taught several years .n another county. She soon learned that there was ordinarily no vacancy, but cofn could make one. Eventually coin ad make one. The price, she was_ adroitly Fiven to understand, was $500. It was a arge sum_for her, but the position was for life. ‘Kate Kennedy and other teach- ers had tested the question, and this strengthened the fond mother to a sac- rifice. Other teachers were buying their positions in the School Department, she was told, and moreover, it was a good in- vestment, so she silenced her conscience, raised the money, dollar by dollar, by every expedient known to a determined and insistent borrower. She was told how to hand over the | sat on the sofa ne: | hope deferred. price—not in the ordinary commercial way—pay and take your receipt, but by a neater method. She was told to leave the @ little canvas bag under a - fon on the parlor sofa—a certain cushion, its color designated so there could be no mistake, and a gentleman would call at a certain hour of a certain day. Certainty marked every arrangement, and there was no failure. The caller was a member of the Board of Education, and he was sim- ply “delightfu,. He had taken such an nterest in her daughter, he said, and had just driven his fellow Directors to,see with him what a valuable addition ‘she would be to the teaching force of the de- artment. At the next meeting of the oard she would be elected and assigned to a school. And she was. And when he was gone the little canvas sack of dollars w gone, too. He had a cushion of a certain color. The $500 position passed from un- der the voung woman when the new board got down to work, and she haunts the corridors seeking in vain. Yesterday Judge Seawell modified his order of injunction against the payment of November-December salaries till in- debtedness was deducted from each war- rant. By this the Auditor ecan provide for her two months’ pay. And there are others, but they will never dare tell their stories in full detail. Moreover, nothing damaging could be proven, and only vex- ation would come of an attempt at an ex- pose. Audit those demands “subject to the restrictions hereinbefore set forth.” ‘This helps the teachers not one whit to- ward payment, and is another case of This morning Judge Sea- well will render a decision in the man- damus case of Georgia Morse vs. Auditor Wells. Whatever this will be, there is no robability that matters will be improved, ecause a judicial order for the payment of January salaries will bring a fresh in- Junction from the merchant creditors. “My days are full of trouble and my nights full of dreams,” sald Auditor Wells yesterday. “‘Those teachers are coming to me, some with tears and some with threats and scoldings. They seem to think I am standing in the way. I am worried over the fiuts(lon. fearing that I will do some {llegal act, and on top of my trouble then down come the teachers after me. It is their money and I would Eladly audit every bill, but I dare not. ven in the face of a court order I can- not act contrary to the instructions of General Dickinson, my attorney. Even if I were to pay in obedience to‘an order and the Supreme Court should reverse that judgment I would be llable and other creditors would come down on me and my bondsmern. I am sorry for those teachers, but I cannot act at my personal risk.” Yesterday City and County Attorney F. V. Lane, after carefully reviewing the four injunction suits now pending against the Board of Education, advised that body that ‘‘there is in existence no in- junction or restraining order in any man- ner restraining the Board of Education from auditing or allowing the claims or demands of merchant: r for rent.” BOXING PERMITS GRANTED. McCoy and Choynski Named as Prin- cipals in a Bout Before the » National Club. The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors relaxed a little yes- terday in the matter of boxing permits and granted one for this month and two for March. The Western Boxing Club, managed by Martin Murphy and Charles Long, drew the prize for this month. For March the National Athletic Club is granted a permit for a twenty-round bout, naming McCoy and Choynski as principals. The Excelsior Club was per- mitted to withdraw its application for a permit for February and granted one for the first half of March. The applications of the Palace Athletic Club, Alpine Athletic Club, Burlingame Club and Occidental Club for permits were denied. e e L A Califcrnia lion hunt, with actual photographs, in next Sunday’s Call. BOMBS AND EGGS MAY RESULT IN A BLOODY STRUGELE Highbinders Disturb a Performance. WILD PANIC IN A THEATER CELESTIAL ACTORS SHOWERED WITH OVOID MISSILES. Police Suspend a Much-Abused Free List at the Jackson-Street Temple of Art With Dire Results. The eimultaneous explosion of two bam- boo bombs and a dozen eggs of the vin- tage of '84 in the Jackson street Theater, last night, drove the thousand or more Celestials who were celebrating the New Year by a visit to the playhouse pell-mell from the theater in search of a fumigant, and caused a stop to be put to the drama until the actors could remove the odor that had been served to them. Highbinders are supposed to be respon- sible for the disturbance created, and it Is probable that some arrests will be made to-day, if the culprits are not put to death in the meantime by their out- raged countrymen. When Lieutenant Price took charge of the Chinatown dis- trict the highbinders, and not the owners of the theater, seemed to be conducting the place. They entered and left the play- house at will without even the formality of presenting a pass. The lieutenant sus- pended the free list, and since that time all highbinders have looked alike to the doorkeeper. Last night three members of the Suey Sing Tong presented themselves at the door of the theater and calmly no- tified the man in charge that they guessed they would see the play without paying. The doorkeeper informed them that they had another guess coming, and a police- man escorted them to the street. Shortly after this occurrence two bombs were exploded in front of the stage by parties, who escaped by the Fish alley en- trance, but it is believed by the police that the guilty ones are members of the Suey Sings sent Into the theater by the men who were refused admittance. The ex- plosion of, the bombs was a signal for other highbinders in the gallery, who im- mediately began a bombardment of the actors with a choice collection of eggs that ripened long ago. The Celestial Thespians fled, seeking refuge behind the scenes, but they took with them an evil odor, while their gaudy raiment had as- sumed several new and striking hues. Pandemonium reigned in the theater after the explosion of the bombs. Think- ing that another murder had been com- mitted the audience arose as one man and made for the doors. The police were on the scene almost as soon as the re- port of the PxElOding bomb was heard and finding nothing serious had occurre forced the thoroughly frightened China- men back into the theater and ordered the management to proceed with the play. The drama, however, was lame and halt- ing after that. There were hitches that jarred on the supercritical audience, tor no_theater-goer can admire a hero who half strangles every time he gets a sniff of himself, or sincerely grieves with a heroine who lets her blind sister perish in the burning factory while she digs scrambled eggs out of the back of her neck. So it is only natural that those disap- pointed theater-goers should scorn the proffered aid of the barbarian police and go gunning for the wreckers of their en- joyment on their own hook. A weck or a month in jail would be no punishment for the miscreants—nothing short of death would fit their crime, so it is likely that the morning sun will break upon long rows of defunct Suey Sings corded up along Jackson street, ready for the Morgue wagon and -a newly dug hole in the City Cemetery DR. FARRELL IS HERE. Brings Good News From the Cali- fornia Boys in Manila. Dr. P. J. H. Farrell, captain and assist- ant surgeon in the First California Volun- teers, arrived in this city yesterday on the America Maru from Manila, and im- mediately went to the Palace. Dr. Farrell has been invalided and is on a thirty days' leave of absence, with permission to visit the United States. The doctor’s leave is caused by the return of his old trouble, a wound in the left arm which he received during the Soudan war. Notwithstanding his affliction, he looks remarkably well and was glad to get_home. “The first thinfi< I want to tell you about,” said Dr. Farrell, * is regarding the health of the California boys in Ma- nila. It is excellent and will remain so as long as !he'y are in the hands of Sur- geon Major Willlam D. McCarthf'. The Iast call to arms just before I left was on December 26, and the entire regiment, with the exception of forty men, fell in for duty. Out of the sixty-eight at the hospital twenty, who were convaleselnf, responded with their fellow soldiers. It was reported that there was some firing by the Filipinos and the men were marched out to where the fighting ha; since been. “The people can have absolute confi- dence in the regiment, because the army at large recognizes the ability of Colonel James F. Smith and rkpose the utmost faith in their commander. “The Filipinos have not a ghost of a chance in the present conflict. They know absolutely nothing about modern warfare, and the extent of their mili- tary tactics is to build one line of trenches, from which they can be dis- ersed in a single charge. After they are i’n the open field their chances of suc- cess are reduced to an infinitesimal mini- mum.” —————— Young Ladies Entertain, The young ladles of Alpha Chapter of the Delta Alpha Omega Sorority ¢f Elo- cution gave a most delightful literary and musical entertainment at Century Hall, 1215 Sutter street, last evening. The hall was filled to its utmost capacity with friends of the members, who enjoyed an ambitious programme to the fullest ex- tent. The chapter was established in 1897 by graduates of the California School of Elo- cution and Oratory, and the proceeds of last night’s entertainment will be devoted to the assistance of girls who wish to perfeet themselves in elocution.

The Referee, Principal, Seconds and Others Imprisoned Awaiting the Outcome of His Injury. It would seem about time thdt the | Board of Supervisors close down on | granting permits to mushroom athletic | clubs which give alleged monthly fistic | entertainments. The farcical exhibition | presented by the Mission Athletic Club in Teutonia Hall last evening ought to decide the City Fathers on the danger of licensing boxing bouts by untrained youths, That John Farrell is not reposing on a slab in the city’'s Morgue is due to the Police Department, through its represent- ative, Sergeant Coogan. Fortunately he was present during the alleged entertain- ment, and after being assured that a rep- utable physician had thoroughly exam- ined the combatants he allowed the first pair to proceed. Farrell and Jack O’Brien, two ‘‘dubs,” were pitted against each other. O'Brien outweighed his rival by ten or twelve pounds, but Farrell pos- sessed grit and a little more science and held more than his own until the first part of the sixth and last round, when he received a light tap on the shoulder and fell to the floor and was counted out. His seconds aided him to his chair, and it was found necessary to carry him to the dressing room, where restoratives were applied to bring him out of his comatose condition. Believing him in danger Sergeant Coo- gan hurriedly detailed one of his men to visit the dressing room and learn his true condition. He immediately reported back that the man was unconscious, and Coogan rang in a hurry wagon call. While the Seconds worked over their man the police did everything possible to resusci- | tate him, and on the arrival of the patrol | wagon he was placed in it and dispatched | at full speed to the Receiving Hospital. | Dr. Tormy, who was on duty, pronounced Farrell in no danger, and ordered him | put to bed. He afterward stated that the pugilist had a weak heart, and his | faflure to respond when knocked down | was due to exhaustion. The police then gathered in the princi- pal, seconds, referee and president, and escorted them to the City Prison, where they now languish, awaiting the resuit of Farrell's condition, Those arrested were: | Referee George J. McLaughlin; seconds— | John McDonald, Richard McDonald and | Eugene Mulligan; William J. Bell, presi- dent of the club, and O’Brien who fought. | During_ the exciting incident Frank | Kiley and James Riordon, two 150 pound | “dubs,” battled for supremacy. Unlike | the previous bout, this was of the laugh- | sible order. Neither man knew much about | the game, and both simply swung and | clinched to their hearts’ content. After | exerting themselves for six rounds a hu- | mane referee declared the burlesque a draw. Next came “Kid” Hogan and Charles Vickers, who fought at 145 pounds. This bout was really an exciting one and re- deemed the unsatisfactory contests that preceded it. Hogan was far the cleverer, | but Vickers seemed to have a peculiar | habit of letting fly his right on all occa- slons. In the first round both men scored knockdowns, and after that both fought each other to a standstill. At the end of the sixth round a draw decision gave un- versal satisfaction. The event of the evening was to have been an eight-round go between Con Ryan and Willlam Ford, two rival Missionites. Sergeant Coogan received instructions from Captain Spillane to prevent the men meeting, and he ordered the bout off. The m_.ley gathering then filed out and an- other poor exhibition -was a thing in his- tory. E’zllowin is a list of the officers of the club: President, W. J.
