The trial of Rev. James H. Kelley of the colored Baptist Church before a jury in Judge Dunne’s court on the charge of betrayal under promise of marriage was resumed yesterday. The cross-examina- tion of Hattie Bynum, the complaining witness, was concluded, and the other witnesses examined for the prosecution were Mrs. Margaret Harris, Mrs. B. Juyilly and Theophilus B. Morton. The trial will go on again this morning. | I have always so declared both before | aay keen competition and the | ve been reasonable. | ordinance is now a law of the munici- | pality and insures the opening of Ingle- side racetrack each season for the period prescribed The Mayor also sent to the Board of | Supervisors a message in which he states | his reasons for signing the ordinance. | The message follaws: Te_the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors, San Franclsco: { 1 have caretully considered the so-called In- | gleside ordinance and after welghing Piet)'{ uggestion both for and againer the proposi- | on have concluded to sign the bill { I am not in favor of making of San Fran- citco @ wide-open town, neither, on the other hend, do I believe In putting her in a straight | Jacket. This is & city of liberal thought and ideas. | There snould be some liberality in its admin- istration and in its policies. Belleving thls‘i an since my induction into office, and I sincerely believe that such an administration is condu- cive to its progress and material prosperity. am satisfied that the toleration of horse cing .in San Francisco for forty days in the | vear will not serlously jeopardize or endanger the morals of the community, while at the | same time it Is a concession to the sport- loving, amusement-loving people of the city, a large number of whom (and among the most | respectable elements of our population) enoy | racing and occasionally tend the sport with- | out joining or in any way participating in the betting which is seemingly, the world over, an indispensable incident of all race courses. | OTHER TRACKS OPENED. With racing now permitted ‘all the year round at Oakland, and just across our boun- in San Mateo, now patronized by and | essible_to the people of San Frau- I can see no distinot’ advantage in cisco, kceping the San Francisco track closed, either | morally or materially. X And on the other hand, by allowing’a forty- season here It has become possible to obtain the written guarantee of the owners of all existing tracks in the vicinity of San Francisco that one calendar year on all the tracks controlled by them, or hereafter fo 4 or controlled by them. shall not exceed days in any one calendar year, and that on the track in San Francisco it shall never exceed 40 days, At the same time the most objectionable feature of race track betting is eliminated— | no women or minors are to be allowed in the betting ring, either here or on the other tracks. I have been somewhat moved by a sugges- tion which, though unusual, seems to me sound. If city officials and employes of private houses intend to frequent the tracks at times and under conditions when they ought no to, they will do so with much more certainty of detection in San Francisco, where they are well known and certain to be seen, than at Oak- land or Tanforan, where only those simfiariy occupied will meet them. It must be remembered that this ordinance is in the nature of a simple license, which s revocable at the pleasure of the Board of Su- | pervisors and of the Mayor. and if it should be found at any time that the strict letter of the ordinance is not carried out by the New Cal- ifornia Jockey Club or its successors, I will | be the first one to advocate its revocation, and | I have been assured that I will be supported by the very Supervisors who spoke and voted for it Certain lezdl objections have been submitted to me by the Merchants' Association, the most important of which is that, under the terms of the ordinance, after racing forty days; the | present owners could lease it to others, who | might run forty days more, etc. Without de- | termining the force of this suggestion, .it is completely obviated by the written agreement spoken of, which 1 bave had worded so strong- ly that it certainly .must cover every possible contingency. The case cited by the attorney for the Mer- chants’ Association (ex-varte Tuttle 91 Cai. 589) dispels the fear that through this ordi- nance betting may become general. Thar case holds that such an ordinance restricting betting to the racing inclosure will not permit betting elsewhere. All the evils which those who oppose this dinance say will be inflicted upon San Fran- y permitting it to became a law, if follow the race track, are certainly re. The passage of this ordinance, | ns to me, will certainly bring to San Francisco no more touts, gamblers or tempta- tion than the unclosable race tracks, Emery- ville and Tanforan, now bring and afford. 1 warmly appreciate the sincerity of the | | representatives of both sides of this contio- versy in the expression of their convictions as prescnted to me and thank them for their suggesticns toward the determination of this most vexatious question.

The master and crew of the steamboat Modoc have been exonerated by Captains Bolles and Bulger, local inspectors, from all blame in connection with the burning of that vessel on September 2. The inspectors say that after a care- ful examination of the hull, it was evi- dent that most of the fire had been in the deckhands’ forecastle and steering engine room, which adjoin each other and are situated in the hold on the starboard side, the longitudinal bulkhead between those places and the main hold being hadly burned on the forecastle side and only scorched on the side next the main hold. The inspectors are of the opinion also that the fires in the boilers were in charge of experienced men.

MAYOR APPROVES |GENERAL FREDERICK DENT GRANT - RETURNS FROM THE PHILIPPINES Man Who Has Succeeded in Pacifying the Bloodthirsty Natives of . the Turbulent Island Comes Home on the OPPOSITION GEMERAL FREDERICK. DENT GR AT Transport Logan and Tells Story of Great Interest — “Cholera is a serious menace to the people of the islands. The kind that exists there is the Asiatic cholera of the very worst kind and whenever it asserts itself in a neighborhood the mortality list becomes appalling. The natives know not how to deal with the dread disease. They cannot even protect themselves from it and they don’t seem to understand its infectious nature. They know nothing of the germs that generate and spread the = I DISTINGUISHED ARMY OFFICER, SON OF THE FAMOUS GENERAL U. S. GRANT, WHO RETURNS HOME AFTER SERVING THREE YEARS IN THE PHILIPPINES, AND DECLARES THERE IS NO MORE SERIOUS TO AMERICAN ARMS IN THE ISLANDS. — RIGADIER GENERAL FRED- ERICK DENT GRANT, who pac- ified the dark and bloody island of Samar, returned yesterday from the Philippines after three years' service in the islands. He came on the transport Logan and brought with him a bushel of facts about the situation in the island, together with a rather con- cise idea of the situation down there: Since General Smith of the “kill and burn” order fame relinquished nis au- thority over this blood-stained island Gen- eral Grant has been in caarge. He be- gan the work of bringing the fiery native spirit of the islanders under ecivil and military control where General Smith keft off and he pursued the task with a mixed combination of aggressiveness and diplo- macy, qualities that predominated in his father, the late President of the United States, U. S. Grant. i ‘When Gentral Grant, left his post of duty Samar was as quiet as a milipond. At his rooms in the Palace Hotel. yes- terday afternoon General Grant told his He detalled his the easy grace of a man who knew what he was talking about. He neither con- doned nor condemned the action of Gen- eral Smith in dealing with the natives of Samar. Once during . the Interview General Grant was asked, '“What are your. ideas about ‘the truth of the charges made against General Smith?"” General Grant’s eyes arched pleasantly, his face broadened into a self-satisfying smile and he answered: “Well, I have no ideas on that subject.” WILL GO TO TEXAS. General Grant Has been in the Philip- pines since the first outbreak and during that time he has- only been home- once and that was on a two months’ sick leave. His wife is in Chicago and this evening General Grant will start East to join her. He then goes to San Antonio, Tex., hav- ing been appointed to take charge of ‘the Department of Texas. “Samar is enjoying the first period. of peace that it has ever known,” said Gen- eral Grant, “and I am entirely satistied that the inhabitants of the f{sland will not attempt to make any: further trouble for our Government. o “Now that they have been forced by the stress of military operations to cease their hostility the natives for “the’most part seem actually and absolutely con- tented with the new order of things. :An incident which ocgurred just before I left has convinced me that even the natives who live in the thinly populated portions, of the islands are no longer opposed: to the invasion of our civil system into their livés, and that they bear no fll-will to American citizens or American soldiers. ““When I first went to Samar it was a case of fight your way everywhere ‘and protect yourself while so doing. A sol- dier could not venture much out of hail- ing distance of even the confuered towns without being set upon and killed by sav-. age natives. Now an American can go anywhere and go unarmed. One of our soldiers deserted for some reason or other and he braved all sort of dangers and made straight for the interior of the island. He met natives armed to the teeth, but none of them showed any dis- position to molest him. ISLAND IS CONQUERED.: *“This particular soldier, whose name I have forgotten, was being court-martialed when I left, but his experiences with the heretofore untamed and savage natives brushed away a doubt and left the au- thorities in the rather confident attitude of knowing that the island was con- quered. “The Moros, of course, will commit acts of depredation now anda nzau,f but it needs only a- strong police force to hold thém in check. “When I first went to Samar I had fifty-six garrisons and 5600 men under my command. Peace dawned so rapidly that the forces were gradually withdrawn and when I left there were but half as many men and only fourteen garrisons. This force is more than is necessary to keep insurrection down. The natives are show- ing a lively interest in the march of civilization that our Government has started in their midst. Of course they are a low type of manhood—not a low . type in their physical devélopment, they are brave and strong and have good intel- lects, but they lack education. They do not know how to read or write. In fact their education consists of their knowl- edge of how to engage in.all sorts of piracy and revel in bloodshed. The day will come, however, that these natives will reach a creditable state of advance- ment. — disease and consequently whenever a case breaks out the natives do not know enough to keep away from the victim. BRAVE ARMY DOCTORS. “This lack of precaution on their part is responsible for the spread of the dis- ease. While I am on this subject I want to speak of several of our army physi- cians, who deserve just.credit for the way In which they took their lives in their hands on more than one occasion to stay the progress of dread cholera and devise ways and means to prevent it. Drs. Reno,.Sargent, Pinto, De Kraft and Stockdale have rendered the country a brave service for which they should not be forgotten. They spread out in the different towns where cholera broke out and spent their time fighting the disease —a rather brave and arduous task, par- ticularly when one takes into considera- tion the class of men they had to deal with. ) “The natives are not quite as primitive Lots of Sorosis shoes are worn A in the Czar’s dominions, the Sorosis golf boot being the ideal winter shoe.

Stevens of Oshkosh, Three Captured Men Are Pcsi- tively Identified by the Victim. —_—— A daring robbery was committed about 1 o’clock yesterday morning at Third and Mission streets by four men, the victin being John B. Stevens, an engineer, from Oshkosh, Wis., who claims to have lost 13350 and his gold watch. Three men were | arrested by Policemen Tillman and Calla- han, who charged them with having helped commit the robbery. Their names are Harry Reeves, Albert Long and | Thomas Readon. Stevens arrived from Oshkosh Saturday | evening, and being a stranger in the city had no one to guide nim. He visited some ! saloons, and about 1 o’clock in the morn- | ing was standing on the corner of Third and Mission streets, wondering where he would go for the night, when four men | approached him. One shoved a revolver in front of his face and ordered him to throw up his hands. Stevens did not im- agine that he was in the hands of foot- pads, and simply raised his hands a little. One of the footpads grasped him by the arm and with an oath said, “Throw u Your hands or I'll blow your head off. The footpad thrust Stevens' arms upward and one of the others went through his pockets, taking his money and gold watch. Stevens stood on the corner think- ing over his unfortunate predicament till Policemen Tillman and Callahan came | along. He told them what had happened to him and said he thought he had seen | three of the footpads crossing the street and going into the Eagles’ Roost saloon. Tillman and Callahan went to the sa- | loon and found Reeves, Long and Readon there. Stevens identified them three of the men .who had robbed him, and said | Readon was the one who had the revolv- er. The three were placed under arrest and locked up in the tanks, Stevens was under the influence of liquor and it was deemed advisable to wait till he was sober before charging the prisoners. During the day he called at the prison and again positively iden- tified the arrested men and swore to the complaint in Judge Conlan’s court. @ riviimiriinisiiviie e O a class as our Indians, but they are still wholly uncivilized.

He was born in St. Louis, May 30, 1850. He at- tended the public schools until the out- break of the Civil War, when his father, Ulysses S. Grant, moved his family from place to place when possible to have them near him during the war. He witnessed the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson and went with his father’'s command through the Virginia { campaign. After the war Grant entered | West Point and graduuted from that in- stitution in 1871 After graduating from the military academy he took a position as civil en- gineer for the Union Pacific Railroad, | spending several years in their service. Grant then went back into the army and was on General Sheridan's staff during the frontier campaign against the Indians. He was a prominent figure in several other expeditions against the Indlans and upon his second retirement from the army he held the rank of colonel. He went into business in New York and in 1887 | was nominated for the office of Secretary of State, but owing to strange political complications that year he failed of suc- cess. He was appointed Minister to Austria under President Harrison, a position which he retained under Cleveland. He resigned this position, much to the regret of President Cleveland, who had unlim- ited confidence in Grant's ability as a diplomat. Upon his return to this country General Grant was appointed Police Commussioner of New York under Mayor Strong. | At the outbreak of the Spanish war | General Grant came to the front and was | appointed colonel of the 144th New York Volunteers. At the close of the war with | Spain he went down to the Philippines, where he added to his fame as a soldier and diplomat. Boy Accidentally Shot.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rallroad Company is contemplating build- | ing its road through to the Pacific Coast. | That the company Is figuring on a pro- | ject of this kind is evidenced by the fact | that 1t recently issued 325,000,000 of new stock, though the directors of the com- pany refuse to admit the new issuance c? stock was for the pugpose of extending | its lines to the Pacific Coast. Very little information is obtainable in New York as to the purpose of the issue of new stock of the St. Paul. The chairman of the St. Paul says that there will be nothing whatever to say until the direc: ters meet and take action upon the mat- ter, and that no meeting of the directors | has been called or is likely to be called urtil the regular meeting on October 30. He also declines to discuss the possibili- |ties In regard to the using of the new | capital further than the statement that | about $10,000,000 will be used to capitalize work already done on the line in the way | of tmprovements. | The one authoritative utterance on the | matter of an extension to the Pacific is that “if conditions compel” the St. Paul is both ready and willing to build through to the coast. This statement was made | several months ago officially. At that time it was stated that conditions were not ccmpelling. The issue of the new | stock has reopened this question. A study of -actual conditions may serve to throw some light upon the matter. The conditions that would compel the St. Paul to become a Pacific route are not hard to guess. There would be a loss of a fair share of existing Pacific trade | either through increased competition or through discrimination. In addition to this, apy remarkable opening of the Pa- {cific trade, expansion of possibilities to- ward the Orient or in coastwise traffic or | the development of increased local re- | sources between the Western terminus of | the St. Paul and the coast would be condi- tions that would force the St. Paul to build to the coast. As a matter of fact, a close study of present conditions in the West will demonstrate that every one of these conditions exists at present. | The matter of competition is patent. The formation of the Northern Securities Company has placed the Burlington, a rival road,” in the position of spe- cial beneficiary, and the St. Paul bhas thereby lost its share in the rich traffic of the Northern lines. Without a doubt, the heavy earnings of the Burling- ton have been gained partly at the ex- pense of the St. Paul. The gross in- crease of the St. Paul during 192 was T% per cent, while that of the Burling. ton was over 12 per cent, and this year it will run over 15 per cent, if Mr. Hill is | a prophet. The Union Pacific has also diserimi- | rated In favor of the Northwest by a passenger traffic agreement, and there is every probability that the diserimination will be carried into freight in favor of 5 the Harriman lines, the Alton and the Illinois Central, at the an- nual meeting of the Alton on Tuesday of this week it was decided to make closer connection between that | road and the other Harriman roads. It becomes more and more apparent that the pesition of the St. Paul is threatened by both competition and discrimination. | Therefore the first two conditions that will compel the St. Paul to build to this coast are manifestly present in the situ- Pears’ Why is Pears’ Soap—the best in the world, the soap with no free alkali in it— sold for 15 cents a cake?
