Leake, the proprietor and the man- ager of The Call, in Judge Fritz's court were called yesterday morning Governor Gage's attorneys, Nougues and Rallroad Attorney Moore’s understudy, sought for additional delay. Judge Fritz announced that counsel for the Governor had ln—: formed him that Attorney Campbell, rep- | resenting Spreckels and Leake, had con- | sented to allow the case to be put over for two weeks. Attorney Robert Duke appeared in court for Mr. Spreckels and Mr. Leake and when Judge Fritz finished his announce- | ment Duke arose and said: *“Your Honor, | we desire to have this case set at your | earliest possible convenience. My clients are anxious for an immediate ~hearing. Governor Gage's attorneys have come in here and blocked these proceedings with writ after writ. We are certainly entitled to some consideration in this matter and we ask your Honor to fix as early a date as nossible for the commencement of the hearing of these cases.” Nougues stated that Attorney Campbell had agreed to set the case over for two weeks, whereupon Attorneys Tom Keogh and Breese jumped to their feet and an- nounced that Campbell had instructed them to have the case continued not later than next Monday. The matter went over until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when Gage's lawyers made another attempt to have the case post- poned for two weeks. Attorney Duke bristled up and gave vent to considerable feeling over the attempt on the part of the Governor's attorneys to delay the hearing. He said: -+ endar nearly two months. If these gentlemen with to participate in the proceeding here there is a proper way for them to do it. The Dis- trict "Attorney has offered to permit them to ceme in and represent Governor Gage. They have refused his offer. We come in represent- ing the defendants in this case, who are enti- tled to be heard, and we ask that the case be set for next Monday. After considering the matter Judge Fritz set the case for trial next Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

Breuner of the John Breuner Furniture Company as president of the Chamber «f Commerce. Breuner is an energetic young business man, whose interests are large, and when he assumed the leadership in the Chamber of Commerce it was believed that an era of great activity was assured. But it appears that the president is con- vinced that business men du not give enough of their time_to public interests and that he he has not met with the necessary co-operation. In making public his reasons for resign- ing Breuner to-day said there is a great N—~ 7 deal of work that could be accomplished sfo——m—— — e ior the benefit of Sacramento, but men are neeelled who!can si}w{’e meldsu}’tjecll] théir PRESIDENT OF SACRAMENTO personal attention.

He said the fair could be made a great success if some one were especially em- ployed to develop ideas and get the 1ight kind of people interested in making exhibits. He asserted that if the proper measures were taken enough goods man- ufacturers in this State and enough farm products could be secured to fill three buildings the size of the pavilion. Breuner also expressed the belief that its general manager, H. A.

The interest drawn by the rentes is subject to an income tax of 5 per cent, save in the case of the holders who are neither Russians nor residents of Russia.

By these terms Russian owners of the rentes have their incomes reduced from 4 per cent to 3.80 announcement was madz that a_message { had been received from San Francisco asking if the hearing could not be post- ! poned until Friday. With the reading of the message Governor Gage burst into a rage. Pacing back and forth across the floor of the Judge's chambers, he black- guarded the attorneys opposed to him. No response was made to his utterances, and the Governor continued to pace the floor, seemingly too much enraged for further utterance. Presently Secretary Foley piped in with the question: “Can’t the hearing of this habeas corpus argument g0 over until this afternoon?” Judge Shaw agreed to this and the Gov- ernor left the courthouse, passing through a large crowd of spectators in the court- room who had assembled to see what was FRENGH TROOPS GLOSE SCHOOLS Protests of the Sisters and Peasantry Are Disregarded.

In an interview with a press representative Captain Newman sald: The launch has proved herself & noble boat, but we have experlenced awful times since we left New York. Several times in terrible gales we nearly lost our drag anchor, owing to the gear chafling away.

In a prospectus sent out to the newspapers it is stated that Eastern cap- ital is behind the movement, and the warning is given that no questions will be answered as to the identification of the investors. The directors of the new cor- poration are all well known men, whose prominence in the commercial community would scout the idea of there being any- thing but an honest deal, yet the state- ments of parties interested are strangely at _variance. The directors are C. A. Gray, J. Dalzell Brown, A. C. Kains, John Treadwell, F. M. West, Walter J. Bartnett and Tirey L. Ford. 'The amount of the capital stock is $6,000,000, divided into 60,000 shares at $100 a share. Mr. Bartnett, the attorney, is the man who is credited with having promoted the deal. He declines to say who the Eastern capitalists are, or whether it is intended to establish a new transcontinental road. “We have acquired a terminus at the foot of Third street on the Oakland chan- nel,” said Mr. Bartnett, “‘and have prop- erty extending a mile toward East Oak- land. We have acquired a right of way through Haywards Pass and have bought the Alameda and San Joaquin Ralilroad, which gives us an entrance into Stockton. ‘We propose to operate a ferry system be- tween Oakland and San Francisco and to run branch lines to Alameda, Berkeley and from Haywards to Dumbarton Point on the eastern side of the bay. We will also run a line to San Jose, but just how we are to operate that line I must decline to say. It is well known that the only deep water south of the Oakland channel on the east side of the bay is Dumbarton Point, which we have acquired.” Dumbarton Point is owned by the Dum- barton Land Company, of which Thomas E. Ryan, the attorney, is a director and general manager. Mr. Ryan last evening said that he had never heard of the new company and that there had as yet been no offer made for the.property at Dum- barton Point. The only right of way for a railroad into S8an Jose on the east side of the bay is owned by Piper-Adin-Good- all Company. General Manager A. E.

At Ploudaniel the barri- cades of carts, which barred the way to the Sisters' school, had been replaced by a network of barbedwire and pointed stakes have been driven into the ground to injure the horses of the gendarmes. In addition a moat had been dug in front of the school door and filled with filth. PARIS, Aug. 14.—The Cabinet met at the Elysee Palace to-day. The Premier, M. Combes, communicated reports on the situation in Finisterre, one of them bein; from the Superior of the Congregation o! the Holy Ghost, to which the resisting sisters belong. In this report the superior said the sisters had been ordered twice to leave their schools, but those orders had not been obeyed, owing to opposition by the peasantry and by the owners of the properties in which the schools are situ- ated. Continuing, Mr. Combes declared that official reports showed the agitation over the closing of schools in Finisterre was purely a royalist movement. There had been grave occurrences, said the Premier, which came within the penal laws and which would result in prosecu- tion, instructions for which had been sent to the Procurer General. PROMOTION OF COLONEL CARTER CAUSES CHANGES Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Is to Be Transferred to This City in October. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Several im- portant changes have been ordered in the Adjutant General's Department as a re- sult of the recent promotion of Colonel ‘William H. Carter to the grade of briga- dier general. Lieutenant Colonel Andrew, who i now ranking officer on duty at the ‘War Department, has been assigned to duty as adjutant general of the Depart- ment of California. He takes the place of General J. A. Babcock, who has been ordered to this city for duty as adjutant general on the staff of Lieutenant Gen- eral Miles. Colonel Andrews' transfer to San Francisco, which was made at his own request, will take effect October 15. To provide for the vacancy thus cre- ated in the force at the War Department, Major Charles J. Crane, who is now at Manila, has been ordered to this city at once, and Lieutenant Colonel W. L Innes of the artflle? corps stationed at Fort McHenry has been ordered to duty in the aujutant general's office in this city.

The audacious acts of Governor Gage and his assoclates on the State Board of Examiners in willfully attempting to de- | prive the orphans and half-orphans of | several counties of their support by vot- ing to disallow claims for their mainte- | nance was reviewed before the Supreme Court yesterday. San Luis Obispo Coun- ty is determined to secure its rights in the matter and has accordingly instituted an action in mandamus to compel this board, which seems to have ill-advised economical tendencies, to do its duty by the unfortunate minors of the State. The claims in question covered the pe- riod from 1883 to 1897, and amounted to | about $10,000. They were allowed and au- | thenticated by the Board of Supervisors and then referred to the State Board of | Examiners. Great was fhe dismay and | anger in_San Luis Obispo County when | it was found that Gage and his crea- tures, in an attempt to establish a repu- tation for economy, had decided that the | dependent children should get along with- | out that assistance which a wise law had provided for them. The lower court declared itself on the side of honesty and justice by directing the board to allow the claims. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court by the fendants. deR, T. Devlin represented the Gage clique yesterday and spent his allotted | time in saying in_various ways that the State Board of Examiners was clothed | with sufficient power to enable it to ar- bitrarily disallow any claims. Justice Ga- routte objected to any such statements, and Devlin finally narrowed his conten- | tions to cases like the one at bar. He declared that the board, either rightly or wrongly, might reject the orphan eclaims and that there could be no redress at law. His remarks created considerable amuse- ment among those present. Milton Shepardson followed Devlin _in behalf of San Luis Obispo County. He | began his argument by comparing Gage and his counsel to the cuttlefish, which fears to meet the issue. but in wild alarm obscures its hurried flight. The ridicu- i lous plea that the Board of Examiners may act as unreasonably and capricious- ly as it may choose without legal inter- ference was answered in a telling man- ner by references to the statutes of the State. The hour for adjournment had ar- rived before Shepardson had completed his remarks and the case went over until this morning. Grace Mann Quietly Leaves Town. Miss Grace Lee Mann, otherwise known as Grace Gibson, who was recently sued for divorce by Willam Mann on the ground of desertion, has left town for the East. At the time of the suit Mrs. Mann caused some excitement by stat- ing that she would make serious counter charges against her husband, and she engaged an attorney for that pur- pose. It appears that Mrs. Mann re- ceived a sum _of money from a rich rela- tive in the East a few da ago and quietly deported. It is understood that she is going to Pittsburg, and from there she will proceed to Baltimore, her former home, where, it is said, there is a fortune awalting her. —_———— YOUTHFUL BURGLARS ARE GIVEN RAWHIDING Wisconsin Judge Orders Them Lash- ed Instead of Sending Them to Reform School.
