Van Fleet is to be a candidate for Associate Justice of fhe State Supreme bench 'again and his friends here and elsewhere have been so advised by Van Fleet himself. He was in the city a few days ago, at which time he informed several that he will go be- fore the Republican State Convention next year seeking a nomination. It is certain that Superior Judge Lucien N. Shaw will seek an elevation next year to the Supreme bench, and the indica- tions are that Judge Shaw will have the strength of all of the country south of Tehachapi at his back. Los Angeles is certain to.be solu for him, no matter how the delegation from here may be di- vided upon the Governorship or other State officers. Chief Justice W. H. Beatty, who is to be a candidate for renomination, will be opposed in the Republican State Conven- tion by Associate Justice Garoutte. The two jurists are not friendly on or off the bench, and they are to iry conclusions in the Republican primaries throughout the State next year. Lawyers here generally are all ardent admirers of Chief Justice Beatty, but the latter may be handicapped by having no political following when it comes to a count of noses in the State convention. Justice Harrison, whose term also ex- pires in 1903, will likewise have to strug- gle for a renomination, as the Van Fleet candidacy is certain to be in his way.

VAN FLEET WILL ~ (RUSSIAN SUGAR BE A CANDIDATE| NOT BOUNTY FED Mistaken Belief Respon- sible for Disastrous Reprisals. American Government’s Act Based Upon Alleged Misunderstanding. " Rty Special Cable to The Call and New York Her- ald. Copyright, 1901, by the Herald Pub- lishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, .June 12—A small notice published in the papers here chron- icles the result of one of the greatest pieces of commercial folly on the part of the United States which it is possible to That notice tells of an order of the Minister of Finance raising the tax on several articles of American produc- tion, including bicycles, for example, from 20 to 30 per cent, which means virtually that they are excluded. Eighteer millions of dollars’ worth of American trade per annum is for the same reason brought to an end. And this is all done upon a pure tech- nicality—upon which most people here be- lieve to be a misunderstanding. It is all over the matter of Russian sugar and it | is what is known in trade as ‘bounty fed.” Mr. Holloway, United States Consul here, took upon himself the responsibility of reporting to the Treasury Department that Russian exported sugar was indirect- 1y “bounty fed.” His decision is generally controverted. In the mean time harm has been done. To put the matter simply so that all can understand it, the case is thi Russia guarantees to take fromWher sugar pro- ducers so much sugar at a certain sum, upon which she places an internal tax. At the same time she raxes all the sugar produced. When the manufacturers have a surplus for exportation that internal tax is_refunded to them. How such a condition can possibly be tortured into a bounty is what the people here cannot understand, bounty being a sum paid to stimulate production. = A bounty is prid by Germany to some manu- facturers. For so much exported so much cash is given per ton to the exporters. Here the internal revenue tax is merely remitted. out on Sutro Height: 1d g e ights could get a sight of Tugs can be called to tow in or assist vessels in distress; life-savers can be no- tified of the incoming of a vessel during a fog. as in the case of the ill-fated Rio, and be on the alert to guide or rescue as the need might be.

Foster was killed on the Foster plantation five miles west of this city on the Vicks- burg, Shreveport and Pacific Railway this morning by a man named Prince Ed- wards. There had been trouble between the overseers and negroes, and Foster left the plantation store to go to the scene of the trouble. Twelve or fifteen negroes had gathered in a cabin, and as Foster approached one of those in the cabin fired, mortally wounding him. The negroes scat- tered but several bands of officers have succeeded in capturing all but Edwards, who did the shooting. Foster was 22 years of age and belonged to one of the leading families of Louis- iana. Governor McMillin of Tennessee is a brother-in-law of the dead man. ‘Why Miss This ChanceP Your opportunity.

BAKER CITY, Or., June 12.—This morn- ing a party of miners who were changing shifts at the Baby McKee mine, near Sumpter, found the unconscious bodies of J. B. Conroy and Herbert Thomas, Every- thing possible was done to revive them, but they both died about two hours after being taken out. It is supposed that the men were asphyxiated by the foul air caused by the repeated explosions of powder used in blasting. Such a_system of reporting vessels from out in the ocean will be in use on the Atltatic Ceast probably before th€ month is over.

Hhd g Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June'12.—The World has this from London: The British Govern- ment has decided to levy $250,000,000 on the Transvaal gold mines, the World cor- respondent learns from a sure source, to half pay the cost of the war Sir David Barbour, formerly Finance Minister for India, who was commis- sioned to report upon the taxable ca- pacity of these mines, advised Colonial Secretary Chamberlain to levy $175,000,000, but Mr. Chamberlain, after consultation with Lord Milner, increased the maxi- mum to the amount stated. Barbour’s report is awaited here with the keenest interest in political and financial circles. This recommendation, when it becomes known there, is certain to cause con- sternation among Kaffir stockholders, who fancied that the idea of taxing the mines, which are mostly owned in land, had been abandoned. As these very gold mines were the real underlying cause of the war, many have maintained that their British owners should be made to bear a large share, at least, of its heavy burden. BERLIN, June 12—The Magdeburg Ga- zette publishes a letter from Johannes- burg which states that famine is raging among the British and Boer population there. One day recently twelve Boer women and children in the encampment died of hunger and want. Entire families are dying of starvation. PRETORIA, June 12.—General Pul- teney’'s division has captured a party of Boers, including a brother of Acting President Schalkburger, on the Swaziland border. BRUSSELS, June 12—Mrs. Botha, wife of Commandant General Louis Botha, ar- rived here to-day. She was received at the railway station by Dr. Leyds. il e e some twenty miles from Sandy Hook. What the Hevald is doing is here given in an excerpt from an article in a re- cent issue of that paper: ‘‘Wireless telegraphic communication will be established by the Herald be- tween the Nantucket Shoal lightship and the shore at Sankaty Head, Nantucket Island, forty-three miles distant. The sighting of steamers will be reported 193 miles east of Sandy Hook, giving friends of passengers ample opportunity to meet them, gaining about thirteen hours’ time on an average.

Immediately after the opening of the session Senors Tamayo, Villuendas and Quesada, constituting a ! majority of the committee on relations, submitted as a substitute for the commit- tee’s former report the Platt amendment as passed by Congress, recommending that it be made an appendix to the con- stitution. In the vote on the resolution the twenty-seven delegates present divided as | follows: In favor of acceptance—Senores Capote, Vil- lvendas, Jose M. Gomez, Tamayo, Monteague- do. Deizado, Betancourt, Giberga, Florente, uesada, Sanguilly, Nunez, Rodriguez, Ber- el, Quilez and Ferrer. Opposed to acceptance—Senores Zayas, Ale- man, Eudaldo Tamayo, Juan Gualberto Go- mez, Cisneros, Silvela, Fortun, Lacret, Por- tuondo, Castro and Manduley. Senores Rivera, Correoso, Gener and Re- bau were absent. The latter two voted against_acceptance in the previous divi- sion. Senor Ferrer voted with the con- servatives, explaining his change of atti- tude by asserting that he believed accept- ance would be the best solution of the problem. The convention will appoint a commis- sion to draw up the electoral law.
