FRAD THE SA CISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 1899 REVELATIONS IN THE CASE | OF DREYETS ASHINGTON, April 8—The army court of inquiry into the beef supplied to the army decid- | ed to-day to adhere to its decis- | fon not to call the list of wit- nesses submitted by General Miles. The reading of the official reports was con- cluded. Aléxander Powell, the owner of the beef process of which so much has been said, was heard at the forenoon session. He gave many details concerning his invention, and stated that he made an agreement with Armour & Co. to have them use the process in case they could ecure the Government contract.

Special Dispatch to The Call. | S NEW YORK, April 8.—It developed | to-day that Tammany Hall at its meet- ing Friday night adopted . resolutions favoring the construction of a munici- pal gas plant for Greater New York. This is taken as evidence that Richard Croker has heard the rumblings from the recent campaigns in the West, | where municipal ownership was made | | the issue in the mayoralty contests in | Chicago, eland and Toledo, and that he is laying plans to make public ownership of quasi public utilities an | i e in the national campaign next| yeal Mr. Croker was asked to-night re- | garding the significance of Tammany's | action. He said: | “'I believe that the city makes a profit of $7,000,000 a year out of the water sup- | ply system. I don’t know of any reason | why the city should not make as much | | out of a gas plant. The city could build | a plant for $20,000,000 and could make a profit of $6,000,000 a year selling gas at 70 cents per 1000 feet. The Democrats | will carry this fight to a finish, and it | will at least result in showing what the position of Republicans on the question | of cheap gas is. Why, if they must have | investigations, do they not investigate | their own position in regard to gas? | UIf a city can supply gas and water | it can supply transportation to its citi- ‘ zens. These are great-questions which | | must be met and solved, and the Demo- crats propose to meet and solve them.” | Asked whether the national conven- tion would take up the question of gov- ernmental control of great interstate ;utilities, such as railroads, telegraph | lines, pipe lines, etc., Croker refused | | to commit himself further than to say | ccnsiderable- hauling and the officess of | ho hag no doubt the convention would the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelly tpe controlled by men having the public to Animals are consequently in receipt of | wea] at heart, who would draw up a complaints of citizens who witness the | platform in the public interest, and if abuse of Gross' horses.

The Two Women Who Robbed Heary | Hock Sent to the Superior Court. Bessie Bond and Gertrude Heightier, the two young women who held up and robbed Henry Hock, brewer, 1224 Turk street, early Wednesday morning as- he was about to enter his residence, were vesterday held to answer before the Superior-Court by Judge Mogan on a charge of grand larceny in 0 bonds each. The women lived in the Avondale House on Ellis street and made the defense that they went out to the locality of Turk and Webster streets to search for Gertrude's father, who was . supposed to have changed his residence. The Judge said he did not believe: the story and was satis- fied that they deliberately robbed Hock of his money. . —_— e CHINESE AND JAPANESE FIGHT Hostilities were resumed between the Chinese and Japanese Friday night and Judge Mogzan was called upon to arbitrate in matter yesterday morning. From the evidence it appeared that Ed- w Lee, Tem Ling and two other Amer- icanized Chinese who attend the Wash- ington-street Grammar School, were walking along Post street abreast, and at Union square two Japanese broke their line,) This enraged the Chinese and there was a fight, during which it was alleged | one of the Chinese drew a knife. Lee and Ling were arrested for battery, the com- plaining witness being Rokusaburo Ka- wara, and the Judge convicted Lee and ordered him to appear for sentence to- morrow. —_————— Not an Embezzler. Judges Dunne, Cook and Lawlor, sitting in bank on Friday, dismissed the charge of embezzlement against 1. H. Herold, who 'was found guilty in the Police Court. The defendant appealed the case, and when the matter was properly laid be- fore the Superior Judges they found that Herold was fnnocent of wrongdoing. 1. H. Shearer, a jeweler at 22 Mason street, was the prosecuting witness. He charged Hercld with havirig fraudulently obtained a pair of braceléts from his store and had hirn arrested. Herold was em- ployed by Shearer at the time, and as. he proved that he came into possession of the bracelets lawfully the charge against him was dismissed accordingly. Herold now intends filing suit-against Shearer to recover damages for defamation of char- wcter and false imprisonment. —————— Want Sewers for Sunnyside.

Princess is very domestic in her tastes and has been a close companion of her much beloved mother, the Princess of Wales. The matter, it is understood, was dis- | cussed by the Queen and members of her family at Cimiez recently, where, talking of the royal family, the curious rumor is current that the Pope has ex- pressed an earnest desire of bestowing | the Golden Rose on Queen Victoria. This gift is a personal prerogative of | the Pope, and is usually given to nota- ble Christian women of royal birth. It might be mentioned that her Majesty and her consort, the bert, were at one time on very inti- mate terms with Pope Leo XIII during a long visit which he paid to England at the time when he was Papal Nuncio | at Brussels.

SAN RAFAEL, April 8.—John Nolthe- nius of 1763 Stockton street, San Fran- cisco, was represented at yesterday's ses- sion of the Board of Supervisors by At- torney J. W. Cochrane, who petitioned the board to compromise on money due| the county on the bonds of Henry Young, the alleged fire flend of Tiburon. Wh Youn, his $500 into the county treas bert Wolchow of Alameda, bondsman, placed a hom property and refused to pay. As it was a joint bond a demand was made on the Btockton street butcher for the $500 still due. His petition was that the board hould compromise for half that sum, but he petition was refused.

Among the most notable of the de- feated Unionists are Lord Castletown, Lord Mayo, Marquis of Ormonde, Earl of Rosse and Lord Langford, all of whom stood in their own counties.

The result of Lord Dunraven’s con- | lieved to be very close. Only 60 per cent of the full vote was polled throughout Ireland, but the Na- tionalist victory is so decisive that the London Times confesses: ‘So-far as local government is concerned- Union- ism has been annihilated in Munster and Connaught, almost totally extir- pated in Leinster anfl badly wounded { even in Ulster.” Yesterday's Insolvents.
