F. S. Monnett, At- torney General, against the Buckeye Pipe Line Company of Lima, was resumed to-day in the of- fice of Charles Edgar Mills, sitting as special commissioner. Attorney Gen- eral Monnett conducted his side of the case. Messrs. lliott and Kline ap- peared for the company. It was ex- pected that the State of Ohio would present representatives of three or four ifmportant oil refineries of Ohio to testi- | fy to alleged arbitrary methods of the pipe line. Before the case opened, At- torney Monnett announced that he had been unable to get these witnesses, and after a brief re-examination of George R. Rice he would close his case for | the time being. Mr. Monnett explained | that he was informed that the courts could compel the attendance of the wit- nesses, but they did not punish them [xf they refused to testify.

Mr. Rice said that in substance it was the same. He said he was testifying in the present proceedings because he wanted an op- portunity for contradicticn of the “false and malicious statements made by John D. Archbold.” Is %t not a fact,” asked Mr. Kline, “that in 1890 you sent to the Standard 0il Company through Mr. Orvis an of- fer to accept $500,000 for all your oil properties, agreeing if the offer was ac ted to abate litigation?” “Yes, I guess I did.” Mr. Rice's testimony to the same ef- fect, given at the hearing in Columb: was read to him and he said it w correct. Replying to Mr. Kline, Mr. Rice said that in 1879 he offered to sell his re- f 3 tor Campbell for $20,- 000. That offer did not include any of oil properties.

LONDON, March 22.—The Times publishes this morning a letter from a correspondent in Bermuda, who describes Rear Admiral Sampson’s visit there last month and gives “an authorized interview” with the ad- miral. According to the correspondent Admiral Sampson, remarking up on the “marvelous change in American opinion,” said: “Formerly Eng- land was regarded as the only European power with which the United States was likely to have serlous differences. Now we regard England as our best, perhaps our only friend. I cannot say whether this feeling will prove permanent, but I hope it may. Possibly we could not hope for more than England’'s moral support, in the first instance, in any conflict with a Continental power; but in times of real difficulty it would ripen, sooner or later, into a defensive alliance. “I say frankly that in my opinion the United States has more to gain from such an alliance than England has. Therefore I rejoice un- feignedly at the change of sentiment in the United States. I am not less gratified that no such change is needed in Great Britain, and if any words of mine can cement a friendship calculated to benefit the whole world, it is a pleasure to myself and a duty to my country to utter them.” $040+ 04040+ 040+ 040+ O+0+0H04+0+040 4040404040+ 04040 404040404040+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+H T on Christmas day from M On | Eaton sent word to the effect that if such August 3, 1898, he attacked a woman on ‘were taken he would declare the in that town.

MAILS MOVING Silent as to the Conges-| tion at Skaguay. Spectal Diepatch to The Call. | Call Headquarters, Wellington Hotel, | Washington, March 21 The Second Assistant Postmaster General said to-da 3 ! “I have read in the Associated Press | dispatches the San Francisco Call's complaint that Alaskan mails have been congested at Skaguay by reas of the neglect of the Canadian officials. This is hard to understand in view of the fact that we have an agent there | who reports to us at regular intervals. We heard from him about two week ago and he said nothing about such stagnation or failure of the Canadians to transport mail not bearing Canadian stamps. It will be readily understood that during certain months it is next to impossible to make the regular trips. This was true of December and Janu- and probably accounts for this re- port, for there were about 4000 pounds of malil there at that time awaiting transportation. We instructed our agent that in case of failure of the contractor to deliver the mail he was to provide temporary service and deduct the cost from the compensation of the contractor. His reports received two weeks ago stated that mails were being transferred sat- | isfactorily, but on May first we will make a survey preliminary to the es-| tablishment of a trail from Valdes up Copper River as far as possible. A postoffice inspector from San Francisco or Seattle will accompany the expedi-| tion to see that the contractor fully carries out his agreement. | COUNCIL OF UNITED | AMERICAN MECHANICS State Gathering of the Junior Order Entertained in the Garden | City.

SAN RAFAEL, March 1.—By officlat- ing at another marriage ceremony City | Recorder Gardner has not only widened the breach between himself and Justice George Rodden, but has strife among officials generally that it is probable that the affair will reach the courts. Few persons care anything about the matter so far as the disagree- ment between the two principals is con- cerned, but many believe that the codes do not authorize a Recorder to unite lov- | ing hearts, and that consequently such marriages are illegal.
