C., Sept. 22.—There is further trouble in the Malay peninsula, | and according to news received by the Northern Pacific steamer Tacoma another Malay Rajah has been kidnaped, while | it is alleged that the Rajah of Patani, who was reported kidnaped some time ago, has been poisoned by his captors. The Straits Times of Singapore says | dispatches from the Malay peninsula re- | port that the King of Siam has sent a | warship to the state of Tulobin to carry away the Rajah of that state to Sings pore or Bangkok, and the Bangkok pa- | pers declare that the unfortunate Rajah | of Reman, who was drowned on the Camroen, was not traveling on that ves- 1 through his own desire. | The Rajah of Tulobin will be forced to | sign that now notoricus document which | was submitted by the Siamese to the ruler of Patani and the Raj of some of the other independent Malay state By the terms of this document, shou he sign it, he will forego ail of his heredi- ! tary prerogatives as Rajah. Tulobin is only a small state, but it h considerable to do with Singapore. Most if not all of the east coast steamers call there. It is situated between the stat of Kelantan and Patani and, like those | states, has practically no trade inter- course with Siam | A grave report is circulated at Patani to the effect that the hereditary Sultan of that state, who was recently ed by order of the King of Siam, now dead, and it is belleved among some of the Malays there that he has died of poison.

The yeuth with several companions had been swimming in the harbor. His last dive was from the top of a tall pile. Two of Joseph's playmates, Richard Madson and Frank Kotz, warned the youth from plunging from the place he had selected, because they feared the very result which ended their sport. soon as White had leaped, the other s watched for him to come to the sur- | face, but the body did not arise. Joseph Camasch, living at 524 Third street, who was near by, responded to the frightened boys’ appeals, and quickly disrobing, went in after the body. He recovered it, but young White was dead before Camasch could get the body ashore. The Coroner took charge of the case, White’s remains being taken to the Morgue. The boy lived at the foot of Madison street with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Manuel White. He was a good swimmer, but the water was shallow where he jumped.

WILL DIG TONNEL BY DAY LABOR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 22. ‘That tunnel that the people of Alameda and Contra Costa counties want drilled through the hills is going to be built by day labor. So much bickering has been going on over the bids that the Board of Supervisors to-day adopted a resolution rejecting them all and declaring that the work would be carried on by day labor. The project is now in a fair way to go through, even if it does promise to cest more than under the contract system. Contra Costa has set the pace in this matter of day labor, having already be- gun to dig into the mountain from its side. Its Supervisors got tired of listen- ing to the quarrels of bidders and enter- taining bids that were far too high and decll(:ed to reject them all in favor of day work. According to law, the roadmaster must build the tunnel for a sum not to exceed the bid of the lowest bidder, which in this case is $32,000. There is some ques- tlon as to whether day labor will be as economical as by private contract. Su- pervisor owe is to supervise the work as roadmaster of the district. —— Complaint Against the Log Raft.

ALAMEDA, Sept. 22.—Despite the ob- Jections of their parents, Howard Simp- fon, son of Dr. Willlam Simpson and brother of City Attorney M. W. Simpson, and Miss Columbia Profumo are husband and wife and have been since June 14. On that date the young people hied them- selves to San Rafael, secured the neces- sary- license and were secretly married. Together they returned to Alameda and went to their respective homes. Neither the bride nor groom acquainted relatives or friends with the fact. Prior to the wedding day young Simp- son sought the permission of his father to marry the birl of his choice. Dr. Simpson had no objection to his spective daughter-in-law, who is a willowy bru- nette, but he refused to give his consent on the ground that his son was just of age and not well equipped to support a wife. Dr. Simpson consulted with Miss Profumo’s mother and both agreed that if after a few years the love of the young people for each other was as ardent as ever their elders would bave no scruples about giving them the parental permis- sion to wed. Shortly after the result of the conference was made known to the iovers they took the trip across the bay and were made one in San Rafael. Howard Simpson is the youngest son of Dr. Simpson and {s employed in his father’s drug store in San Francisco. His bride is_a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Profumo of Bay Station.

An order has been issued from head- quarters stating that injury has been done to the hig defense guns by the ex- perlmentfi: of unskillful men and the practice forbidden for the future, al- though officers and enlisted soldiers are encouraged to atiempt the making of plans for improvements.

Murphy, who is belleved to be only 19 years of age, dis- regarded the parental command and mar- ried the woman of his choice two weeks ago his father, John Murphy, of San Francisco, says he will prosecute the youthful groom for perjury and he has taken steps to have the marriage an- nulled. On September 8 Mur?hy and his bride- to-be, Florence Cummings, appeared at the County Clerk’s office and secured a license to wed. The ages of the contract- ing couple were given as 22 years and 21 years, respectively. D&uty County As- sessor W. H. Van de Mark, an ordained minister, consented to perform the cere- mony. - The groom at that time laid par- ticular emphasis upon keeping his maf- riage a secret. Since the marriage the young couple have not been heard from. Not untll yesterday did the senior Mur- hy hear of his son’s alllance. To-day e appeared at the County Clerk’s office and obtained a certified copy of the mar- riage certificate, which he says he will use to have his son prosecuted on a per- jury charge. The father gives the reason for his wrath as follows: “I bad warned my son against marry- ing this woman. She has been divorced once. He married on the sly and against the wishes of the family. He does not need to expect forgiveness from me. will attempt to have the marriage an- nulled and my son arrested for swearing falsely as to his age.” SILVERSTEIN MAY NOT BE TRIED FOR ROBBERY Judge Conlan Intimates the Evidence Is Not Strong Enough to Hold Him. The preliminary examination of George Silverstein on a charge of robbery was concluded before Judge Conlan yesterday and the Judge reserved his decision till to-morrow, but intimated that unless the prosecution could produce further evi- dence he would have to discharge the de- fendant. Silverstein was accused of be- ing one of two men who held up and robbed Burdette Palmer in the early mexning of August 29 on California street, near Fillmore, but neither Palmer nor his cousin, Roy Westlake, who was also rob- bed, could positively identify the defend- ant. A mystery in connection with the casa was the return of Palmer’'s stolen wateh by a messenger boy last Wednesday. Les- lie Quinn, a messenger boy for the Cali- fornia Messenger Company, was called to the stand yesterday and testified that a stout man had called him out of the office on O’'Farrell street and had given him a dollar to deliver a package and a note to Palmer’s house. He never saw the man before and had not seen him since. He delivered the package and note to a lady who signed the receipt. It was ascer- tained that the note purported to have been written by a saloonkeeper, name not given, who said that the watch had been put up with him in pawn by Palmer and he and his cousin were trying to cou- vict an innocent man. SUPREME COURT ENDS PROTRACTED LAWSUIT A. 0. Colton Loses Battle of Eighteen Years’ Duration With Oakland Bank of Savings. A. O. Colton, assignee of W. Bowman, lost a battle of more than eighteen years’ duration with the Oakland Bank of Sav- ings by a decision of the Supreme Court rendered yesterday. The amount involved was about $20,000, the value of 120 shares of stock in the Bamnk of California. Bowman, in 1881, took the stock as se- curity for money loaned to N. J. Brittain. He placed it in the savings bank to se- cure an overdraft. In 1884 the overdraft became greater than the value of the stock, which was sold without notice be- ing given to its owner. Suit for its re- covery was then instituted. Brittain paid t{i! debt[ll to FO‘::‘)‘.T:E 1":: ragsaction in nature of the L. 2. such, however, that he is frozen out of ase. ‘h’le‘hfa lower court held that the bank of- ficials acted illegally in negotiating the stock without notifying Béwman, but as no damage was done a suit would not lie.
