L I R S S O R R RATE CASE Big Profit in Alleged Ex- periment of the South- ern Pacific. ieade chren Damaging Evidence Against the Rail- road Brought Out in Last Day’s Proceedings—Decision Prom-~ ised on Monday. g The hearinz of the Fresno rate case was completed before the Railroad Com- missioners yesterday and was submitted after brief arguments. The Commission- | ers held a short consultation and then an- nounced that they would be ready to give | a written decision on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The principal point brought in the evi- dence yesterday \ as that while the rail- road company claimed that the $375 rate d been made as an experiment an had been withdrawn, presumably because it not successful, the records of the itor's office show that the road more than doubled its busirn 375 rate was in force. Attorney Short figured out that during last three months of 1396 the com- pany sold, under the § % rate, 1105 tickets for the total sum of $6519 60, while for the last three months of 1369, when the $37 rate was in force, the total sale of tickets amounted to 4086, bringing in $15322. Attorney Short also offered in evidence ued to Southern Pa- cific agents in the Joaquin on May 4, 1897, by General Passenger Agent Good- man calling attention to the new form of tickets, with the admonition that *by placing these tickets in vour hands vou are put on an even keel with the agents of the Valley road,” and briefly summing up all of the Instructions in these words: “In short, we expect you to send almost your entire business via tne all-rail line, mply ticketing via the steamer route when you are unable to otherwise con- trol it.”” During_the morning session Assistant General Passenger Agent Horsburgh was on the witness stand for a time. e de- clared that, so far as he knew, there was no traffic agreement between ‘the South- ern Pacific and the Santa Fe Company. Testimony in regard to the sale of tick- ets was given by Edward E. Holton, ticket auditor of the Southern Pacific Company. Judge A. P. Van Duzer made the open- ing argument for the plaintiff and was | followed by road compan: Attorney Foulds of the rail- , who tried to convince the Commissioners that the words “excur- sion” and “commutation” mean some- thing entirely different from the generally accepted meaning when applied to rail- road tickets. He insisted the whole case hung on that one point. The closing argument, made by Attor- ney Short, seemed to earry conviction with it. He declared that it was a matter of such common knowledge that the Southern Pa- cific Company had put down its rates to compete with the Valley road that it seemed like child’s play to try to prove | it to Intelligent men. Horsburgh had let the cat out of the bag when he said t Mr. Moss of the Valley road, “If we make our rate any higher you'll get the travel and we will be out in the cold.” The closing sentence of the circular letter of May 5, issued by Mr. Goodman, when he spoke of ‘‘controlling” the valley busi- ness, was another convincing bit of evi- dence that the competition was keen. Attorney Short declared that the people | were prepared to fight the matter in the courts if necessary. They feel that they have right on their side and that the rail- road company has openly violated the lain law to their injury and they are ound to get justice. There was no ani- mosity in the matter, he sald, but only a desire to see the law upheld.

R, Men on Other Vessels of the Service ‘Will Probably Follow Suit and the Fleet May Be Tied Up. AL The sallors on the United States revenue cutter Manning quit the ship in a body yesterday and the vessel will have to re- main tied up at Green-street whart until a new crew can be obtained. There is trouble brewing throughout the entire revenue cutter service, and unless Uncle Sam agrees to pay the regulation Wwage now in force on the coast he will have a very small fleet of vessels in Ber- Ing Sea and the Arctic Ocean this season. Sallors on the revenue cutters are getting $5 a month less than the men on the coasters. The crew of the Bear refused to g0 to sea at the old wage, and waen their demand for an advance was refused they walked out in a body. Then the mat- ter was referred to the Secretary of the | Treasury at Washington, and after a | fortnight’s delay Captain Tuttle received permission to pay the ruling rate of | wages. After a great deal of trouble he | secured a new crew and the Bear started | for the Arctic after a delay of nearly | three weeks. 1 When last pay day came around the crews of the Manmng, McCulloch, Mc- Arthur and Rush. mage a demand for an | increase of pay, which was of course re- fused. The men then decided to bide their time and quit in a body. Saturday the Man- ning came alongside Green-street wharf to coal, and as soon as she was tied uap | [ the men gathered their belongings and | | walked ashore.' Sailors are very scarce on | | the beach, as almost every vessel on the coast has been put into the Nome trade and good men to man them are at a pre- | mium The captains of the revenue cut- ters and coast survey steamers will have considerable trouble In getting new crews even if the Secretary of the Treasury does permit the advance in wages. ¢ of poach- and should delayed two or three weeks quite a catch of seals can be | made without fear of interruption. Trouble on the Precursore. The Italian bark Precursore that arrived here on March 4 from Genoa is in a peck of trouble, and Captain Schiafino does not know when he and his vessel will get away. There seems to be no money with which to pay the ship's bills, and in the meantime the Precursore lies in_the | stream with a hu 'y crew and an empty | larder. After discharging her cargo the | Precursore was chartered to load redweod | lumber for England. She was loaded and ready to sail on April 26, and ever since | Captain Schiaffino has ' been trying to straighten out the monetary tangle into | which his ship has got. Yesterday it he-i | gan to look as though the libeling of the vessel would end the trouble, but the ald of the courts has not yet been invoked. | | In the meantime the crew is making a lot | of trouble and insists upon getting some- | | thing to eat or else its discharge and pay. | i The Adams in Port. The United States training ship Adams arrived In port ¥ erday with the first | | division of apprentices on board. She left | | here on January 13 and went to San | Diego, thence to Magdalena Bay, where | | the boys had target practice; back to San | | Diego, thence to Santa Monica, Santa | | Barbara, Monterey and Santa Cruz ;md,‘ | | back to'San Francisco. The Adams did Dot anchor in the bay, but went direct to Mare Island. After a stay of about ten days at the navy yard she will start out | again, going north to Port Los Angeles | and other Puget Sound ports. On June 11 | she will leave Victorla, B. C., for Port- | land and Astoria. and after a v of a | fortnight in the Columbia River she will | get back to San Francisco in time for the | | Fourth of July. Oranasia Repairs Here. | | The British ship Oranasla will be thor- | I before she leaves # here from Ham- | | burg, and while getting out of the Rlver | Elbe was twice aground. The vessel was | considerably damaged and strained, but | the captain elected to continue the'v age to San Francisco, and arrived here April 2. She was then found to be leak- ing, but her cargo was not damaged to any great extent. After discharging an | examination of the vessel was made by Lloyds' surveyors, and the bottom was ! found to be set up amidship, The facts of the case were wired to the owners, |ana yesterday Captain Grelg received in- | structions to have all the necessary re- | pairs made here. Captain Metcalf, Lloyds’ surveyor, will superintend the work. Trial Trip of the Meteor. The Alaska Exploration Company’s new tug Meteor had her trial trip on the bay yesterday and proved herself to be an | able vessel. She is & feet long, 16 feet beam and 4 feet 6 inches draft. She will leave here for Nome about May 10, and | Captain Worth, who commands her. ex- | pects to make ‘the run in about twenty | days. She will be used in towing barges between the Alaskan Exploration Com- pany's fleet and the beach at Anvil City. | The chances are that the Meteor will make a quicker run north and better weather than the big steamers, that will carry passengers only.

He arrived from Yoko- hama yesterday on the steamship Cop- tic In company with T. Masaki and T. Kawada, his private secretaries. This is the first visit of Mr. Kondo to San Francisco and it is stated that he has come to look over the situation here with a view to extending the business of his line to this port. The Nippon Yusen Kaisha s one of the richest, 1f not the richest, steampship company in the world.- It sends seventy large steamships to every quarter of the globe and is planning to build more steamers and to extend Its business. The only trade in which the company does not engage at the present time is between Liverpool and New Yofk. Four steamers are operated on its line to this coast, maintaining a monthly service between Hongkong, Japanese ports and Puget Sound. The company really started in 1§71, but was not or- ganized on its present basis until 1885, The gross carrying capacity of the company’s steamships is 200,000 tons. It employs 1200 officers anu 3500 sailors. Mr. Kondo has been presiuent since “I have come to this country,” said Mr. Kondo in an interyiew, ““to make a ltgc‘l{ of the methods of u-amrom!ion by 1 and water lines.
