May Put On New Line 'of Steamships to the Orient. —————— Secretary of War Root Will Ask Con- gress for Authorization to Make the Trans- fer. ) WA e Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—The Times has this from Washington: President Harri- man of the Southern Pacific to-day had a conference with Secretary Root about taking over, either under charter or by purchase, of the Government fleet of ,army transports now plying between San Fran- cisco and Manila and operating the ships in conjunction with the Pacific Mail Com- pany to form a new line of steamships between San Francisco and the Orient. After the conference Root said the Government was trying to formulate a plan for getting rid of the operation of the transport service and making way for a great commercial line to be oper- ated from San Francisco, with the Gov- ernment’s business as a basi§ upon which 15 start, but he added that the progress that had been made had not been very great and that he was uncertain just what course would have to be pursued to make the change. It is understood that Harriman and Schwerin have been asked by the War Department to formulate a plan for tak- ing over the army transports in the name of the Pacific Mail Company, and that within a few days these gentlemen will make a formal proposition to the Government, and their proposition, if it prove to be acceptable to the Secretary of War, will be transmitted to Congress, and the necessary legislation to make the transfer will be asked for. Mr. Root himself does not believe that Le has the authority to charter or sell the army transports for a term of years, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1902.

Objection was made to portions of the deposition and for an hour the audience, which filled every nook and corner of the courtroom, were treated to the sharpest legal debate that has been heard in a San Diego courtroom for many years, participated in by Samuel Shortridge, W. J. Hunsaker, W. J. McKinley and W. R. Andrews. When Shortridge declared that it was the purpose of the defense in-the case to prove that there was no libel, the plaintiff in the case being incapable of being libeled because of her lack of a character | to be injured, there was some wonderment shown and the question was asked: “Will they be able to do it?” Altogether the case is proving the best planned and most stoutly contested legal battle that has ever been seen in San Diego. The deposition of Fitch fills fifty- four typewritten pages and the attorney finished but fourteen of them to-day. attention of the court all day Monday. Judge Torrence seems inclined to keep the door of Mrs. Tingley’s past life well closed. WHAT STRENUOUS LIFE IN BEGGARDOM MEANS Experience of San Francisco Man With “Touching” Methods in New York City. “Competition in New York is down to a pretty fine point,” remarked a man from the far West who had registered at one of the big New York hotels, “but where it impressed me most was not in legitimate business, but in the ‘touches’ made by beggars or ‘grafters,’ especially along Park row, where I suppose their trade s keenest. “The first experience I had in this line was the other evening, when I was stand- ing at the entrance to the bridge, a little undecided what line to take uptown. First came a tired looking man, who had 4 cents, but wanted to go to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. That seemed a long distance to walk for the lack of a cent, so 1 gave it to him. Perhaps he passed the word to his fellows in alleged misfortune, perhaps they recognized in me an out-of-town type, but in the next four or five minutes over a dozen of the (ro(esslon had put forward their pleas. None wanted over 2 cents, and all wanted these not very startling sums for some most laudable purpose. The first two or threé got what they asked for. Then all of a sudden I a sort of endless chain, or, more exactly, that it had struck me. So I promptiy made up my mind what line 1 wanted to take and hurried from that vicinity. “But it was all quite different from my home town. On the coast if a man gave a beggar a cent the mendicant would look at it in pained amazement. There it is generally 10 cents on nothing. Some of the San Francisco beggars ought to spend a couple of weeks in New York. Then they could appreciate what strenuous life in beggardom really means.”—New York Tribune. — e —— All Boston Will Read Message.

Strike Now Very Remote. Special Dispatch to The Call. | REDDING, Dec. 20.—General Manager g Leéwis T. Wright of the Mountain Copper | Company has at last issued the long look- | ed for ultimatum in the strike matter and itis in a way a defiance to the strikers. The ultimatum is addressed to Judge | Sweeny, who interviewed Wright regard- | Wright no man because of his union sympathies or affiliations, and shows its records and reports that prove the men whose cases have been agitated by the branches of the Western Federation of Miners to have been discharged fer good cause. He cites the cases of Depew, Phelps, Gibb and Donnelly, and shows that they were dis- charged for non-performance of duty. De Haven was not discharged. He was laid off temporarily and notified that he could retain his position, and Cain and Read | were discharged for violation of estabe lished rules. Concluding, Wright says: “Regarding the first demand, the com- | pany replies that it employs a large num- ber of men belonging to unions other than those branches of the Western Federa- tion of Miners whose official recognition is now demanded. In fact, when this| strike was ordered these branches did not number more than 25 per cent of all the company’s mechanics and employes, and that it also gives employment to a large number of men who do not belong to any union, “To recognize those branches of the Western Federation of Miners, as de- manded, would be to put the whole body of its employes at the dictation of a small faction. This demand bejng inadmissi- ble, the company will never consent to it. I have therefore to inform you that the company cannot accede to the commit- tee and that its decision as stated in this letter must be considered as final.” This puts an end to all hopes of a set- tlement of the strike, and the strikers are preparing to hold out indefinitely. USE OF THUMB MARK AS A PERSONAL SEAL Has Long Been in Vogue in China in Attestation of Legal Documents. An army officer in Arizona used to make his orders for payment on a camp sutler. and use his own thumb mark to serve the same purpose as the elaborate markings on bank checks. The thumb mark has been used in China and else- where in. attestation of deeds. Sir Wil- liam Herschel introduced finger marks for practical purposes in several ways in India. He had heard that Chinese crimi- nals in early times were made to give the impressions of their fingers just as the criminals of this country are now photo- graphed. ‘In Egypt the criminals were made to seal their confessions with their thumbnails, as the country servant girls used to seal their letters. Accordingly Sir William adopted the registration of finger markings for pensiopers. He sus- pected that others pcrsonated these offi- cials after the pensioners were dead. He therefore employed this means of identifi- cation. This led to the scientific identifi- cation of criminals—each prisoner signed a book with his finger. Comparing the signatures of persons made after an in- terval of twenty years, he proved that time makes no such material difference as to affect the utility of the plan. There is a marked difference between the marks of males and females.—Houston Post. ————————— Prices of Almonds in Tunis. At Tunis the average commercial value of green almonds in g‘ood sized lots is 15 francs ($2 90) per 100 kilograms (220.46 pounds).
