I believe the end is very near. NEW YORK, May 18.—The Herald's et e et b e Washington corr rondent sends the | following: Satisfied that favorable re- sults will follow the meeting of the Filipino emissaries with the Americau | Commission the authorities are specu- lating upon the terms guinaldo's agents will ask, If it be for a cessation of hostilities it will be immediately answered in the negative, and General Otis will reply further that uncon tional surrender must precede any con- cessions made by the Americans. What is regarded as more probable is that an effort will be made to obtain special for Aguinaldo and his immediate “They will not be granted,” s official with whom I talked. aldo and his chiefs will be tre: other Filipinos. They will meet same consideration that will be the ordinary Filipino: nd no more.

But while it has been found impossible to bottle up the insurgent army, their reduction from 9000 to men shows the mber of desertion which have occurred, due to the effect of the irresistible advanca of the Am- erican troops. It expected ‘hat Aguinaldo, concerning wh abouts the first definite ir was received from General Of to-day, will move with the men under his im- mediate command and effect a junction with the force at Tarlac, to be ready for the result of the conference to take place at Manila to-morrow. General Otis was notified to-day not to send home any of the tents with which the volunteer troops have been equipped. They will be retained for the regulars, who are to relieve the volunteers. The action of the depart- ment is in anticipation of the early home-coming of the volunteers, all of whom will be at San Francises, it is expected, within two months from the = first troops leave. e IS no absolute information at ar Department concerning the present strength of the American forces under MacArthur, Lawton and Kobbe which have been operating against the insurgents north of Manila. The num- ber of men if each organization were up to i maximum strength would be 500, but it is doubtful if their strength totals 11,000 men. MacArthur's troops except one regiment, are voluntee: All of Kobbe’'s men are regulars. re- cently arrived. Three of the six regi- ments under Lawton are also regulars. There is one radical difference between the volunteer and regular organization. Losses in the former are permanent, while the gaps in the ranks of the reg- ulars are being constantly filled by new recruits.” It is estimated that MacAr- thur now has about 4500 men for ac- tive service; Lawton about 5000 and Kobbe 1500. General Otis cabled the War Depart- ment to-day as follow MANILA, May 18.—Adjutadt Gen- eral, Washington: Representatives of the insurgent Cabinet and of Aguinaldo, who is in the mountains twelve miles north of San Isidro, which was abandoned on the 15th inst., will send a comniission to- morrow to seek terms of peace.

If a | proposition wh “h Manager Ehmann of | the Ehmann Ou.ve Company has submit- | ted to the citizens of this place meets | thetr approval Marysville will be the site | of the plant. | His company owns a twenty-acre tract | of olives in Colema Colony, four 'miles | south of this eity, now nine years old, the | product from which in part will form its pack the coming season. Manager Ehmann states that his com- erection of its plant, and if the facilities are afforded his people in the sghape of a lot he will locate the same at this place. The company proposes to give the proper assurance concerning the | amount of goods to be turned out each season. Last year the Ehmann Company han- dled the crop from the Fogg olive grove of forty acres, situated near Oroville. - This vear it expects to handle at least 30,000 gallons of the fruit. Mr. Ehmann says the company’s pack is | eagerly sought for. One Eastern com- pany handling such goods has offered to take the entire output this season, be it little 'or much, provided it be allowed to place_the goods on the market under its own brands. This Mr. Ehmann has de- clined to do, desiring to preserve the dig- nity of his brands. He says the pack made in future will carry as well the name of the locality where they are put up. ‘l)n view of the fact that there is now in course of construction a_large packing- house in Yuba City for Rosenberg Bros. of San Francisco and the splendid pros- pect of an Immense season for the can- neries, it 18 safe to predict that the pres- ent summer will see more people em- loyed here than at any time in the his- ory of Yuba County. ——— FIRE ON ECHO MOUNTAIN. PASADENA, ‘May 18.—The sight of a column of smoke rising from a canyon on the west of Echo mountain near Al- pine tavern late this afternoon spread consternation among the inhabitants of Pasadena. The authorities of the Mount Lowe Rallway Company are preparing to investigate the blaze and do all that can be done to put out the fire. Many are preparing to leave for the mountains to fight the fire if necessary.

C., May 18—Some ot the most influential Orfental merchants are now working on a* scheme which is simply gigantic in its scope and one which undoubtedly will attract attention in all parts of the American continent. It is to form companies in every-city of in the United States, Canada nd control Oriental industries. When Kang, the Chinese reformer, was in Vancouver, he outlined the scheme to {a number of prominent Chinese and his | 1dea quickly acted upon. Interpre- ter Cum Yow, who is in the scheme, said in regard to it to-day: “We have no doubts about its success. Our plan is to give the Chinese a chance to invest their money in this country and to further all Chinese industries. There are at present 5, ,000 Chinese in Canada, Australla and the United States, and they he scheme. As is formed here we nts and form com- v of any size in Can- . the United States and Australia. We Xpect to issue altogether about 360,000,000 worth of Stock. With the formation of the companies accomplished and the stock issued they will be brought under one management with headquarters pos- | sibly in Vancouler. Then a banking in- stitution will be formed and investments in Chinese industries will be made on an will all, we think, go into t soon v 1 will as our compan: nd out our ag ifmmense scale.

Chinatown is much excited over the project and every Celestial In the city is said to be eager to purchase stock. The wholc concern is simply an im- mense trust, although the promoters are loth to acknqwledge it. Operations of the trust will not be con- fined_to Chinese industries, as it is pro- posed to build steamers to run to China and possibly construct a railway line in Mexico. ATTORNEY GRADY IN CONTEMPT OF COURT Abuses a Magistrate in Court, Fights a Policeman and Lands in Jail. FRESNO, May 18.—In the Police Court . during the trial of Mrs. Rena Brown, a lodging-house keeper, W. D. Grady, an attorney, was committed to jail for contempt of court by Recorder | Cosgrave. The court also imposed a fine of which, however, the attorney has | not yet paid. | At the beginning of the trial the wit- nesses in the courtroom were put under the rule excluding them when not on the stand. Grady, who was attorney for the defendant, insisted on having the names of the witnesses so excluded called out in | open court. His request was denied, and he became obstreperous, whereupon the Recorder postponed the case and ordered Grady committed. Policeman L. B. Timmins arose to exe- cute the order of the court, but he had no sooner laid his hand on Grady's shoulder than the attorney struck him in | the face. A lively scuffle ensued, in which Grady cal out second best. He was thrown to Yhe floor and searched, with the assistance of other officers, and a re- volver was taken from his hip ket. He was then taken to the lockup. Grady spent the night behind the bars, in spite of the efforts of friends to secure his release. It 18 understood that he will be liberated at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, the hour set for the trial to proceed. St JOHNSON CONCLUDES ARGUMENT ON THE NOTE And Now the Celebrated Murdock Case Is Before the o WILLOWS, May 18.—Grove L. Johnson closed his argument in the Murdock case at 3:40 this afternoon. Hundreds of people were unable to get inside the courtroom, as the argument of Johnson of yesterday had spread through- out the county, and people from all over the county came in to-day to hear his closing speech, which was the greatest {low of eloquence ever listened to in Wil- ows, Judfe Pirkey was twenty minutes read- ing his instructions to the jurors, and at 5 0'clock the Sheriff took them to the jury room.

PRETORIA, Transvaal Repub- lic, May 18.—President Kruger’s reform proposals have been pre- sented to the Raad. They sug- gest that the franchise be con- ferred on aliens five years after eligibility to - the second Raad, instead of ten years after such eligibility, as is now the case, thus making a nine years’ resi- dence in the Transvaal necessary to qualify for a full franchise. PR 3E D S R NEW YORK, May 18.—A dispatch to the Commercial Advertiser from Lon- don says: A considerable part of the current agitation in both London and in the Transvaal is concocted to force the imperial Government to more ex- treme measures than it thinks wise. The Government hopes that the recent dispatch of Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary, which was a strong remonstrance, not an ultimatum, and the approaching conferences of Presi- dent Kruger and Sir Alfred Milner, Governor of Cape Colony and High Commissioner of South Africa, will bring about reforms in the extension of the franchise to Outlanders and of the independence of the courts from Boer influence. These are virtually the demands of a fair-minded majority of the Outland- ers. France and Germany tacitly ap- prove them. The extreme and London is urg to threaten force, perhaps by the dis- patch of reinforcements to Africa, to secure these and other reforms. Other- wise the extremists believe that the negotiations will be without result. The extremists have influential representa- party in Johannesburg | tives here and in Africa vigorously and privately pressing the Government and | public opinien through the newspapers. Cecil Rhodes has some share in these efforts. If the Government fails to get the extremists’ desires some prefer to see the conferences mi ernment is-informed that in reality the reported plot is confined, however, to turbulent and irresponsible men. There | is no present evidence that implicates the extremist. leaders. AN ARABIAN WHO PASSES BAD MONEY Mansour Zerour Arrested for Ped- dling Without a License and Held as a Counterfeiter. SALINAS, May 18.—Mansour Zerour, an Arabian, who was at the Midwinter Fair | Jjailed for | peddling without a license, which, how- | at San Francisco, has been ever, is simply to hold him preparato to filing a more serious charge. He trav- els from town to town ostensibly to sell ness of distributing counterfeit money. Last Saturday he was in Bxadley an commenced his work, when he wa ed and convicted for the offense During the trial the following facts to light: Zerour passed through this part of the country a year ago and while in Bradley he passed -a_counterfzit silver dollar and two half-dollars upon Station Agent Law- son. The victim said nothing, but when Zerour appeared this time he went for the peddfer and threatened to have him arrested if he did not give him good money for the spurious coin passed a year ago. Zerour readily complied and handed out genuine silver for the bogus coin. Lawson then had the fellow watched, and when he was tried told of the circum- stances. When Zerour was searched the old bogus coin which he received from Lawson and several new bright counter- feit dollars and half-dollars were found in his possession. Letters and other arti- cles were also found on his person which were sent to the United States Marshal at San Francisco by Sheriff Farley and may furnish a clew to the counterfeiter’s mint. Zerour claims to_be a member of the firm of Hedssidder & Zerour, 106 Na- toma street, San Francisco. ELECTED MODERATOR OF PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY Dr. R. F. Sample of New York De- feats Dr. R. E. Coyle of Oak- land for the Honor. MINNEAPOLIS, May 18—Rev. Dr. R. F. Sample of Westminster Church, New York, was elected moderator of the one hundred and eleventh annual assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States, which convened in Westminster Church to-day. Immediately after rollcall in the after- noon the election of a moderator was taken up, and Dr. Sample was elected on the first ballot, receiving 338 votes, 300 being necessary to a choice, to 127 for the Rev. Mattheas Haines of the First Church, Indianapolis, and 133 for the Rev. Dr. R. E. Coyle of Oakland, Cal. The contest was a spirited one, and Dr. Sam- ple’s election is regarded as a triumph for the conservative element. Rev. John Dinsmore, in the most elo- quent of all nominating speeches, put for- ward Rev. Dr. R. E. Coyle of Oakland, Cal., who was regarded as the liberal can- didate. Rev. Mr. Dinsmore described Dr. Coyle’s merits and begged the assembly once more to name a moderator from the Pacific Coast, which felt itself isolated and in need of the inspiration that would flow from such a choice. It took almost an hour_to take the ballot. John Balcom Shaw, a director of the Union Theological Seminary, in which Dr. Arthur C. McGiffert is a professor, com- firms the statement that Dr. McGiffert has sent a letter anent the so-called heresy case. It is believed that this letter contains a satisfactory explanation of Dr. McGiffert's statements about the Lord's Supper in his book, “The Christian Church in the Apostolic Age,” and that therefore no heresy proceedings will b taken against him. .

The Gov- | STRIKE OF POSTAEN ~OF PARIS e Failure of the Senate to Raise Wages the Cause of the Trouble. e SOLDIERS SENT 0UT e Men Unfamiliar With the Streets Guided by the Police While Delivering Letters. R Special Cable. to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, May 18.—The French author- | ities are certainly forbearing. All Paris has been upset by the postmen’s strike, but it is announced that all will be forgiven and forgotten if the men will return to work to-morrow. ' It remains to be seen whether. they will be equally obliging, but the Government assures us that all will be well in any case. The whole troible arises from the | system of centralization prevailing here. All letters are received at the central postoffice, where they are sort- ed according to streets.- Then carriers. each with his allotted share, are sent off to their respective districts in spe- clal omnibuses. The consequence is that a few men are able to paralyze the | service from the start. The forty sorters who arrived at the main office in Rue de Louvre. this morning, knew the Senate had rejected the proposal to increase their magnifi- cent starting salary of $200 a year by $40, and they were up in arms. Four hundred odd carriers readily to the voice of the tempter. and by the time the postal service ought to have been in full swing there were 2000 muti- neers. It must be mentioned that the postmen begin at’ $200 a year, with a possibility of reaching $300, and they also receive $30 for rent and $10 for shoe leather. It was rather amusing to see red- trousered soldiers laden with mail bags. distributing letters which the postmen refused to carry, each under the es- cort of a pompous policeman with a bayonet at his side. Unkind people said that the escort. which was for protection, was really to show the way to the garrison of Paris, consisting chiefly of raw country lads, who don't know one street from monopoly of the work, however, for municipal guards, half soldiers and half police, were called out to protect the postotnce. There is balm in Gilead, however. for a review which was to be held to- morrow s postponed, for which re lief the “Pioupiou” is truly grateful. One leading bank, the Societe Gen- erale, wired 300 branches to communi- cate by telegraph until further orders. The loss to business interests is esti- mated at something like $3,000.000. and bankers are praying earnestly for the end of the strike, though they have suffered less than the great dealers at the general markets, who had perish- able commodities left on their hands. PROMISE OF SOME RECOUNTS AT STOCKTON Several Republicans Beaten at the Recent Election Make Charges of Fraud at the Polls. STOCKTON, May 18—The political situ- ation was warmer to-day than before the election. There is much talk of frauds and perversions of the intent of the elec- tion law by Boards of Election. It is claimed that the Republican ticket, as a result of factional differences, had few active friends on the Eiection Boards, and these allowed the Democrats to dic- tate all the decisions on the points raised. It was definitely decided to-night to be- gin a_contest on behalf of Fred M. Rowe, the Republican nominee for Assesso who on the face of the unofficial returr lost by thirty-four votes. It is claimed that in one precinct alone fifteen Repub- lican ballots were thrown out on trifles. It is also said sensational affidavits will be filed. Of course many make State- ments at random which they will not swear to when it comes to the scratch; but there seems to be evidence at han justifying a recount. After Rowe's con- test it is expected that Washington Tucker, who lost the office of Street Su- perintendent on the face of the unofficial returns by 112, will follow with a contest, and_probably’ John Yardley, Republican candidate for the Council in the First Ward, will demand a recount. GIRL STUDENTS ARE INJURED BY EXPLOSION While -Blending Chemicals at the Sutter City High School a Mis- hap Occurs. MARYSVILLE, May 18.—While making experiments in the laboratory of the Sut- ter City High School yesterday afternoon Miss Jennie Howlett and Miss Annie Lisle, members of the class in chemistry, had narrow escapes from serious injury. As it is Miss Howlett's hands are badly cut and Miss Lisle’s eyes are affected. Both are under the doctor’s treatment. It appears that the young ladies were making -a myxture of potassium chlorate and sulphur 'in order to produce oxidation of the sulphur. Through carelessness too much of one of the compounds was used with the result that there was an explo- sion, which wrecked the appliances in the Toom and sent fragments of glass, etc., in all directions. got into Miss Lisle's eyes. The physician found it necessary to bind several arteries In Miss Howlett's left hand. The thumb of her right hand had the nail torn completely off. ——-——— DESIRELLO WILL NOW GET OUT ON BONDS There Is Trouble in Convicting the Officer Who Killed James Johnston. REDWOOD CITY, May 18.—In the Su- perior Court to-day an order was made releasing Fred Desirello, accused of the murder of James Johnston, on bonds in the summ of $5000. Desirello has been tried once for the murder of the boy, the jury failing to agree. There was no objection made by the District Attorney to the granting of the release upon bail, he admitting that there was no evidence of malice in the killing. Bondsmen have not been procured, but probably the prisoner will be released to- morrow. The matter will be called up on next Thursday for the purpose of hav- ing the time for another trial set. The case will not be retried before July. Death of a Veteran Fireman. SONOMA, May 18.—T. M. Dunn, one of Sonoma Valley's oldest residents, died this morning from heart failure.
