LONDON, April 21.—What is called the “Morganizing” of the greater section of the Atlantic ferry is causing much per- turbation in Great Britain. The West- minster Gazette suggests it may be en- titled to the grave attention of the gov- ernment, as in some quarters it is insisted that the *‘vital interests of the empire in time of war may be jeopardized by the new arrangement,” and almostin the same breath the paper reiterates the argument used when the combination was first mooted that it would be a powerful peace fector between America and Great Brit- ain, for the great American financiers must find it to their own intersst to use their influence against war between the two countries. The Pall Mall Gazette thinks the ar- rangement gives the United States an enormous pull on the Atlantic, and that it is not creditable to Great Britain that Fnglish steamship lines should be domi- nated by Americans. BERLIN, April 21.—The Berliner Tage- blatt expresses the belief that although the profits of the -German lines may temporarily increase, it will be at the cost of free government in the future ahd the exposure of German business to destruc- tion, which American foolhardiness and Ameérican conceit of their greatness are sure to bring about. The real American peril, continues the Tageblatt, does not lie in American com- petition, but in the posgibility of bold American_financiers entangling German business in unsound schemes. ‘The general terms under which the Ger- man steamship lines have joined the inter- rational shiv combination are understood tn be as follows: ¥irst—The German lines are to have such representation on the board of control as to prevent their being cutvoted by the Anglo- Amcrican Interests. The German companies will_thus preserve thefr independence and will be controlled by thelr assoclates than 11 control them. Seecnd—A nro rata distribution of profits ac- cording to_tonnage will be made. Third—The German conipanies are to share in the advantages derived from ~whatever agreement the combination makes with the American railroads. Besides these principles, which broadly outiine the basis of the con: lines is brought about, reports of other ideas, less easily understood, are in cixculation. These are based upon seemingly authuritative information. One_of these reports is that ft is the purpcs of the allied lines that the manarement of the combination shall ton- sist of three groups, of which the Hamburg- American Steam Packet, Comnany and the North German Lloyd line shall count for two and the Anglo-American lines for one. The future working of the combination appears to be provided for by a system which is largely automatic, thus avoiding the possibility of a confiict .in manage- ment, Oil Strike at San Quentin, SAN RAFAEL, April 21.—Oil has been struck on the San Quentin prison reserva- tion. While convicts were working in the rock quarry a seepage was discovered after a blast and high grade petroleum oozed out. The uecrage is #ald to be so abundant as to justify boring wells. ——————— Notice to Residents of Sunnyside District.

Proposed Amendment Buried. So far no_special legisiation has been suggested. The proposed amendment of- fered at the previous session of the Grand Parlor by W. H. Devlin of Sacramento Parlor, limiting the-membership in future to a certain class of individuals, will be brought up and burled way down deep, as the proposition’ was submitted to the subordinate parlors for an expression of opinfon and that opinion has, from tho returns, been in-the ratio of eleven to one against the proposed change. MORGAN'S MONEY T0 BACK SCHEME Néw Underground Tran- sit System Is Planned for Liondon. LONDON, April.22.—J. P. Morgan will finance to the extent of several muurmfls({y a4 new underground railway system, London, which .will rival Charles . Yerkes' scheme of obtaining possesston ef all the intecmural transportation. Clin- testify to-morrow before ‘the House of Lords committee which is now investigat- ing the whole question ot the under- ground transit of Londen in favor of the construction of ‘a: new system and guar- anteeing the Morgans’' unancial support. Combined with the Morgans are the Sle- mens Brothers and other large British interests. - The promoters expect they | will meet with httle difficulty in getting | the permission of the: House of Lords committee for the construction of their lines. A decision is expected to be reach- ed within a week, whereupon the Mor- gans will immediately begin the work of financing the concern and constructing tire roads. The:importance of the acheme consists chiefly in the amalgamaticn ef- zected at the end of last week under the Morgans' auspices of the various -pro- Jected tubes, which, when constructed, will extend forty miles in .a_continuous line north and to the west and southwest of the metropolis. These lines, In turn, will connect with ninety miles’ of sur- e roads, the London- United Eleciric ramways being also a member of the new syndicate. WOUNDED BY TRAMPS AND HURLED FROM A BRIDGE San Franciscan Now an Inmate of the Santa Clara County Hospital. SAN JOSE, April 2L.—Frank Wilson is in the County Hospital, suffering from the effects of a murderous assault by a gang of tramps on Saturday afternoon near Palo Alto. There is a deep gash ex- tending from the cormer of his mouth across the left side of the face to the middle of his neck, the entire cheek being laid oven to the bone. ‘Wilscn, who had been employed by con- tractor Downs of Palo Alto, was walkin: across a bridge between Palo Alto an Redwood City, when three men attacked him, their object evidently being robbery. After ‘a brief struggle, during which he was slashed with a knife, Wilson was knacked off the bridge to the creek be- low. He fell about twenty feet and was badly bruised. After lylng ‘there a. time he managed to drag himself to Palo Alto, ‘whence he was. brought to the County I-}ospnnl. ‘Wilson’s home is in San Fran- cisco. ¢ A tramp giving the rame of Long has been arrested by -Deputy Sheriff Bache on _suspicion of being one of Wilson's as- sailants. The prisoner refuses to make any ‘statement. The bridge where Wilson was attacked is sald to be a rendezvous for tramps..and several hold-ups have oc- curred there. Fitting ‘Up ' Alcohel Distillery..

All are prominent cattle- | men, who own pastures not far from Col- Insville. The fight was the result of an old feud between Skidmore and May- field, which had its origin in a court con- test over some grazing land. All four men were in L‘ulllr;svuke dur- ing the day, heavily armed and apparent- lygexpacnv)\,g trouble. Late in the after- | noon Skidmore and Johnson left for | Colagah, near Collinsville, and a few [ miles west met Mayfield and Phillips awaiting them by the roadside. any preliminary words Mayfleld lev shotgun and fired at Skidmore, 1eceived . the load in his right breast. As the wounded man reeled from the saddle he turned his gun on Phillips, who bad also raised his gun to fire at him. and shot Phillips through the heart. As Skidmore fell trom his horse Mayfleld | turned his gun on Johnson and both men fired simultaneously Mayfield = was wounded in_the shoulder and Johnson im the side. Though desperately wounded, both men fired again and again. each man’'s shot taking effect. Friends who had feered trouble and who had followed Skidmore and Joh from Collinsville, arrived at this point and prevented the vounded men from finishing their fight. Though fatally wounded, they were at- iempting to reload their guns. The wounded men and the body of Phil- lips were taken into Collinsville. Skidmore’'s wounds are pronounced fa- tal, and little hope is given for the re- y. of the others. The presence in ille of a large number of armed men, friends of both sides, has led o authorities to take precautions to pre- vent a ble clasih between them.
