That action was brought enforce against the defendant, itself a corporation, ¢ as a stockholder in the Lakeport Association for its proportionate share In supposed cor- respondence with the law declared in Hunt vs. Ward was insisted that the personal liability was complete when the contract for services was made, and that as | the action was commenced more than three years | after that date the defendant was protected by the statute of limitati The Supreme Court refuses to | recognize this practical annulment of the State con- | stitution and of a provision of the Civil Code, and holds that there was no indebtedness due from the Lakeport Agricultural Association to its attorney un- ti! his services had been performed, and that until then the stockholders were not personally liable and the statute of limitations had not begun to run in their The opinion is written by Mr. Justice Hen- shaw and concurred in by Mr. Justice Temple and also by Mr. Justice McFarland, wrote the opinion in Hunt vs. Ward. In the course of a full byt compact discussion of the record this language is “In each case the time of the creation of the liability is to be determined by the terms and con- ions of the contract itseli.” This proposition -ap- plies to street railway bonds, when originally issued, for by “the terms and conditions of the contract,” if the interest is paid, there is no principal indebtedness due until maturity. The judgment of the Superior Court, which har- monized with the interpretation that has been fre- zuently given to Hunt vs. Ward, was reversed. This ruling of the appellate tribunal is consistent with other cases referred to by The Call, to the effect that the liability of a corporation and the personal liabil- ity of its stockholders accrue simultaneously, and is reassuring to the holdérs of the street railway bonds that elicited our comments, who, if they had to de- pend upon the mortgage securities, the value of which is certainly decreasing, and upon insufficient sinking. funds, would be in a very precarious situa- tion.

It was cruel barbarity. The Senator then described the substitution of Blanco for Weyler as Captain General, and of auton- omy for “unconditional surrender,” and said: Vhat has caused this result but the arms of Cuba? What but Gomez and his soldiers? Not the United States Government.

Now ment of that island, and the American people are 1a\sked to send there an army large enough to com- pel the Cubans to disarm and surrender the rifles which cost them $200 apiece. We desire to say these things now, before Ameri- can volunteers are fighting in the fever-smitten swamps of Cuba to complete the work of subjugation which Spain abandoned when she offered autonomy. The imperiali® party in this country wants war in Cuba. It wants the people goaded into armed pro- test. It wants them provoked into “firing on the flag,” in order that it may make a hollow-hearted ap- peal to American patriotism. But over against this stand the unbroken line of official pledges, legisla- tive and executive, to the seli- government of the island. Close behind these events Her pen recorded the name of Lafayette in living light. It wrote that of Washington in letters that will be read until the last day of time. It put in words that never die Ameri- can sympathy for the Irish rebels of ‘98, for the pa- triots of Europe who in 1848 broke thrones and crowns from Skager Rack to the Adriatic, and for the Suliote, the Sepoy, the Bedouin, when they struck blindly for freedom.

HE recent developments of the methods of the T andard Oil Company before the Industrial Commission at Washington, D. C.; are of pub- lic importance and interest. The testimony of W. H. Clark, published in The Call of the oth inst., is a striking exhibition of the power and of the facili- | ties of that particular monopo Its success in stifling competition and in adapting its product to the idiosyncrasies of its customers is unexampled and almost incredible. This star witness turned out to be a rich lead of valuable specimens. He furnished several unique il- lustrations of the suppression of competition as a preliminary to raising the price of oil. In one place threat to reduce the price to one cent per gallon, and, as a natural consequence, ultimately took refuge in the poorhouse. In another town, where the oil busi- the legal aspects of the bonded indebtedness guaran- teed and created by the Market Street Railway Com- pany. ness was conducted on leased premises, the Standard Oil Company bought the property, and, seizing a fa- vorable opportunity, carted away the building. In a timorous dealer was driven out of business by a| safe it boldly furnished oil to different persons in the | ssame neighborhood at the most flexible rates. One man could purchase at 7 cents per gallon, while his next-door neighbor had to pay 04 cents. Where it was considered inexpedient to parade favoritism to friends and hostility toward enemies or neutrals a uniform price was charged and differential rebates allowed. In the town of Newark twenty-five differ- ent figures applied to twenty-five - classifications of customers were used. - But the greatest success of the company was in its imitation of the tricks of the prestidigitateurs. ~One eccentric character at Newark would buy no oil that did not come from Cleveland. The word “Cleve- land” was painted on a red cask and he was accom- modated. This reminds us of the story of a well- known gentleman in Oregon who received a large sum for a Durham cow, and, when twitted with the fact that the cow was of very common blood, inno- cently replied that he had supposed her to be a Dur- ham cow because he had bought her from a man named Durham In many of the Standard Oil stores in Ohio Mr. Clark said that the process of supplying different qualities of oil was simplicity itseli. Eight grades | were sold out of two tanks, and to change the grade i* was only necessary tp turn the faucet in contrary directions. The miracle of the conjurers who pour out wines of different colors and qualities from the same bottle was reproduced as one of the features of the extensive trade that has made the philanthropy of Mr. Rackefeller apparently as inexhaustible as his income and his capital. The narrative of Mr. Clark, which includes various facetious adulterations of a standard article, strikes | the average Californian familiar principle though new in some of its facts.

The Turkish delegates are reported to have demanded his expulsion not only from the city but from the Neth- erlands, under a threat of retiring from the confer- ence if the demand be not granted In that way the old Turkish problem arises once more to confront European diplomacy and disturb its dreams of peace. From the very day when it was made known that the conference would ,assemble there came from Southeastern Europe and from Asia | Minor the sound of revolutionists, patriots and agi- | tators of all kinds making preparations to appear be- fore the conference with clamors for redress. The | speaker for Armenia is but the advance guard of a| swarm at The Hague unless prompt steps are taken to head them off. | Some time ago there was organized in the Balkan states a body calling itself the “Central Macedonian i i | \ | host of similar agitators who will force to bear upon the conference to induce it to| ion of the Berlin treaty and a re- recommend a re the establishment of peace. About the same time conference to demand the annexation of that state | before permanent peace should be made. Prompted, bonds matured | we have taken Spain’s place in the military govern- (oubtless, by the general movement around them, the Albanians broke out and for a while threatened | to cause a war without waiting for the conference. The Central Macedonian Committee is said to represent the aspiration of the Christians of Mace- donia, Thrace and Turkish Roumelia to escape from Moslem domination by bringing about the annexa- tion of those territories with Bulgaria, thus raising | that state to one of considerable power. The Bul- garians of course would gladly co-operate with them in any efforts they should make for accomplishing the union. The forces behind the movement are therefore sufficiently strong to constitute a serious menace to the existing situation. The promoters of all these movements in the Balkans made the mistake of beginning too early, or at least of announcing their intentions too early. In- formation of what was under way was conveyed to the Czar, and he promptly took steps to prevent the pur- posed disturbance of his conference. By bringing | pressure to bear he stopped all proceedings so far as Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania are concerned, but it seems he overlooked Armenia, and now a cause of disturbance comes from that quarter. As this is a world in which it is the unexpected that happens, it would be quite in accord with the natural order of things if the proceedings of the Peace Con- | ference should produce so much disappointme® in | the Balkans as to arouse a spirit of universal revolt in that part of the world and thus precipitate the long threatened war that is to involve all Europe. Certain it is that with these ominous warnings, sounding a | muffled accompaniment to the peace music at The Hague, the wary war lords of the nations are not “Iikcly to agree to disarmament or even to the set- tlement of all international questions by arbitration. | Harry .Fisher, a Brooklyn welter-weight, was hit in the breadbasket Monday night by “Mistah” Joe | Walcott.

He is a bright, maniy little fellow and t. his experiences with the army at the front with hearty outbursts of laughter. His beirg wounded and the fact that he was introduced to Ad- miral Dewey are to him as ordinary accurrences. His story Is best told i his own words: “I left San Francisco for New York last September with the First New York Volunteers. I had a desire to see the world and thought that was the best way to do it. I came back here on January 26th last and left on the same day with the Twentieth Infantry on the transport Scandia, now the War- ren. The boys immediately made me their ‘mascot.’ and treated me splen- didly.

Malolos, Bagbag River, Calumpit and at Appal- lette, which was the last engagement of the Filipino war. It was at Callente that I was wounded.
