WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Senator Jones of Arkansas to-day introduced the follow- ing resolution in the Senate: “That the Secretary of War is hereby directed to inform the Senate whether the Executive Council of Porto Rico has undertaken to guarantee dlvidends to cor- 1| porations doing business in that island, | and 1f so, to state all the facts to the | Senate, and also whether sald executive council has donated public property of any character to any individual, firms or corporations, and if so, to state the quan- tity and character of such public prop- erty so proposed to be donated and its value; and also by what authority of law ary of sald acts have been done by sald executive council.” The resolution was agreed to. Senator Jones said in reply to an in- quiry that he had presented thé resolu- ticn upon the strength of information con- tained in a San Juan, Porto Rico, news- paper of the 10th inst., saying that the council originally had agreed to guarantee dividends to the French Railway Com- pany, but in default of that actlon had donated property to that company valued at $100,000 and agreed to exempt the com- pany from taxation. g ORDER ISSUED TO | cCourt Limits Amount to Be Paid An- nually to Countess de Cas- tellane.

BOARD OF TRADE OPPOSES STATE QUARANTINE BILL Resolutions Protesting Against Pass- age of Propossd Measure Are Unanimously Adopted. The San Franclsco Board of Trade at its meeting last Thursday took a @ecided gtand in opposition to the appointment of a State Quarantine Officer at this port, as proposed in Assembly bill No. 284, now pending at Sacramento. The following resolutions relative to the matter were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Experience has demonstrated at this port, as well as at other seaports in the United States, that where both the Federal and State governmen(s maintain quarantine officers disputes and conflicts upon the ques- tion of superior authority constantly arise, thus ‘etarding the docking of vessels and causing much annoyance and embarrassment to the masters and owners thereof, unnecessary delay to consignees and great discomfort to pas. sengers; and Whereas, The Federal Government maintains & quarantine service at the port of San Fran- cisco and claims that its authority in the prem- ises is paramount to that of the State—in which contention it been upheld by the Federal and State courfs; therefore, be it Resolved, That the passage of Assembly bill No. 28 wiil not be productive of any benefit to the State of California or the port of San Francisco, but will prove a great detriment to the commercial and shipping interests of said port and add to the burdens thereof—already claimed to be exceseive; and be it further Resolved, That the Senators and Assembl men from’ the city and county of San cisco be and they are hereby juested te their best endeavors to prevent said bill becoming a law. y- n- o use from | | GOULD TRUSTEES Young Shadburne had announced his in- tentlons of putting a lump on Lowenthal's head, and Mrs. Shadburne aiso wanted revenge.

KRUGER FAVORS SPOONER BILL Message of German Consul at Manila to Home Government. P SN Buencamino and Other Filipinos Are Considering the Organization of an Evangelical Church. o MANTLA, Jan. 30.—Dr. Kruger, the Ger- man Consul General here, has cabled to the Berlin Government asking that the Berlin Embassador at Washington be in- structed to divlomatically urge the pas- sage of the Spooner bill. Two mining corporations organized in Germany are anxlous to begin operations in the Philippines, but cannot do so un- til the status of mining clalms is estab- lished by a permanent government. Similar action will probably be taken by the British Consul. Buencamino and some of the other Filipino leaders in Manila have about de- cided to become Protestants and are ¢an- sidering the organization of an Evangeli- cal church. In an interview to-day Buen- camino sald that he had learned that the Pope had decided to restore the friars to their former position in the Philip- pines. Buencamino added that the Fili- pinos could not submit to that and the effect would be that they will shortly leave the Catholic church in great num- bers. No public meeting has been held, but the leaders of the movement will meet privately to-night to discuss the question with Rev. James B. Rodgers, a missionary of the Presbyterian board, who advises the establishment of an Evangelical church. The principals of the project are Buen- camino, Dr. Rosario, Tavare and Flores. All of these men are members of the executive committee of the Federal party. But Chlef Justice Arello and General Torres, the remaining members of that committee, adhere strictly to the Catholic church and have declared the movement toward Presbyterianism does not emanate from the party organization. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Neither the State Department nor the German Em- bassy so far has received any communica« tion from the German Government urg- ing the enactment of the Spooner Philip- pine resolution, as indicated in the last Manila advices. But the Government here is fully acquainted with the earnest desire of foreign capitalists, not only Ger- man, but British, to begin immediately the investment of large sums of money in the development of the Philippines as soon as that can be done safely. The Philippine Commission, through = Judge Taft, has reported that its inability to confer any sort of a permanent franchise has paralyzed the development of the archipelago. The reported pressure from German financial interests was fully ex- pected. B MacARTHUR'S DEATH LIST. Victims of Bullets and Disease in the Philippines.

Now this is about the order in which symptoms of chronic catarrh make their appearance and if the sufferer is fortu- nate enough to find a cure the symptoms will begin to disappear in exactly the re- | verse order. There may be at first no perceptible improvement in the earliest symptoms, while the latter symptoms show prompt Improvement. This Is Exactly What Peruna Will Do in the Cure of Chronic Catarrh.

An effort will be made to secure the passage by the Legislature of a law validating the titles to these lands and to repeal the provisions which give this un- developed wealth to the State. An in- vestigation of the title of the tract of land on which_ the great Lucas gusher is situated shows that it never belonged to the school fund and that it Is a part of an old Spanish grant which was patented in 1835, Another oil company. with a capital of the Secre- tary of State’s office here to-day.
