SEEE ot | Speclal Dispatch to The Call. | SACRAMENTO, Aug. 5.—The State Board of Equalization to-night con- | tinued its inquiry into the affairs of the | Southern Pacific Company to determine | the amount of taxes the corporation | should pay to the State. Yesterday the hearing was begun, and several hours were consumed in listening to the | statements of E. Black Ryan, the rail- | road's tax agent, the general tenor of | which was that his company was in a | most djstressingly impoverished con- dition. Equalizer Toland put some questions to Ryan which the latter could not, or would not, answer, and it | | was decided to postpone the hearing | until to-night, and to obtain the at- | tendance of C. T. Klink, the chief clerk in the office of the controller of the Southern Pacific Company. Equalizer Toland led out by asking | Klink to state the capital stock, the bonded debt and the value of the bonds and stocks, together with the dividends declared by each of the roads of the Southern Pacific system. Klink claimed to be in ignorance of the value of the stocks or bonds of any of the roads. He asserted that none of the roads of the Southern Pacific system declared any dividends during the vears 18! 1898 and 1899. Klink then proceeded to read a lot of figures, giving the amount of out- standing bonds against the various branches. This recital was made up of a perplexing mass of figures calculated | to drive anybody not a mathematician | to the point of despair, and the mem- bers were obliged to swallow it all | with abject resignation. The hearing was continued until| Monday morning next. i ! WHITMAN AND WARE { PLAY GREAT TENNIS Champion Forced to Work Hard in | His Game With the Canadian. | SOUTHAMPTON, L.

The pace was fast and furious and thei champion was soon panting with fatigue as his opponent kept the ball “‘cross-courting” most of the time.

Copyrighted, 18%, by James Gor- don Bennett. LONDON, Aug. 5.—The mimic war between England and Ireland, which began last Saturday, was brought to a close to-day. Sir Compton Domville, with the British fleet, won, to use the language of the turf, in a canter. With the detached squadon was the Europa, which had been fitted in a hasty man- ner with the Marconi system of wire- less telegraphy. In another portion of the fleet the Alexandria, Sir Compton Domville’s flagship, and the cruiser Juno on which was Signor Marconi himself, had been also fitted with the system. The Juno was ordered to get into touch as soon as possible with the Eu- ropa on Monday afternoon. It was a .little after 5 when the instrument in Signor Marconi’'s cabin gave some feeble ticks, and then a message was rapped out that the Europa had reached her convoy and was to com: municate news to the flagship. When the Juno received this mes- sage she was more than forty miles from the Europa and more than sev- enty from the convoy. Turning about, she proceeded back on her course, and at half past 7, when still more than thirty miles from the flagship, she re- | peated the intelligence she had received from the Europa. A second message, sent ip the same way, is mentioned by the correspond- ent, who estimated the distances the Alexandria at the time as thirty miles from the Juno, fifty-five miles from the Europa and eighty-eight miles from the convoy. He says—and every one must agree with him—that it is a veritable triumph for Signor Marconi. SUIT AGAINST SAN BENITO. The Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company Resents an Attack TUpon Its Privileges. The Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company has instituted an important suit in the United States Circuit Court against the Supervisors and the District Attorney of San Benito County. On'July 6, 13%), the Supervisors of the county adopted a reso- lution designed to force the telephonc company to secure a franchise for the use of the roads in_the county. These roads have been used by the company in_ the ordinary transaction of its business. Poles have been erected and wires have becn stretched, but absolutely no interference has been given to traffic of any sort. For_some reason not clearly explained the Supervisors suddenly reached a d termination to make the telephone com- pany pay for privileges which it had iong enjoved without cost. After the resolu- tion demanding a franchise had been adopted the Superyisors also began pro- ceedings to remove the“poles and wires of the telephotte company if the {ranchise was not obtained, When this had been’ done the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company took steps to prevent the Supervisors from carrying out their threats.

Dr. Aborn’s excellent work as a special- ist in the treatment of obstinate and chronic diseases of the stomach, lungs, | eve and ear, and all catarrhal and bron- | chial affections is evidenced by the ac- | companying testimonial by Hon. Willam | Mitchell, County Judge of Morrow Coun- ty, Oregon, and residing at Heppner, in | the county named. Dr. Aborn is the spe- | clalist in diseases of the eye, ear, throat and lungs: THIS IS TO CERTIFY That for twenty years I was afflicted | with catarrh of "the head, and also was suffering from granulated sore eyes; my throat and bronchial tubes and lungs were also affected, caus- ing affection of the stomach, which re- sulted in indigestion and sour stomach, | caused by the catarrhal secretions drop- | ping down from my head into the throat | and’ passing Into the stomach. In fact |1 was afflicted from the crown o my head | down. I had tried almost all catarrhal | remedies without being cured, and as the disease was so SERIOUSLY AFFECT- ING my_ THROAT, BSTOMACH and !LIL'GS, I BECAME ALARMED, for '1 | knew the disease would soon TERMIN- ATE IN CONFIRMED CONSUMPTION. | I had the measles thirty odddyenrs ago, and my eyes have been affected since that time. = My ears also became affected, caused by the catarrh, so that I was quite hard of hearing. It will be seen by the statement of my case that my allments | were quite complicated, and I have had | as many complications of ailments as any one man could well endure. In this pain- ful and distressing condition I placed my- | self under the treatment of Dr. Aborn, jand I am most happy to state that Dr. | Aborn has displayed a masterly hand over | my complication of diseases, and AVE ME INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF. | "My catarrhal affection, throat and | stomach, and my eyes have also improved | as by magic under his treatment in five days’ time. He has also improved my hearing. I now return to my home at Heppner, Morrow County, Oregon, whers I am County Judge. I am a pioneer set- | tler of Umatilla and Morrow counties, | having located in Umatilla County in 1859 | and I am well known throughout Eastern Oregon. From the speedy relief I have received from the skillful and sclentific treatment at the hands of: Dr. Aborn I can cheerfully and conscientiously recom- mend all similarly afflicted to apply to Dr. Aborn with the utmost confidence that he understands the SUCCESSFUL | TREATMENT OF THESE OBSTINATE | AND CHRONIC COMPLAINTS.
