Railroad Matters,

a sensational story was started yesterday
that the Southern Pacific Company in
tended TO extend its Oakland ferry track to
Goat island and use that point as the termi-
nus Of its trans-bay service. With this i'm
proyement, it was reported that that COM
pany would make radical changes in the
running OF all its trains TO every point in
the State. General Manager A n. Towne
was questioned about the matter last night
he said that there was not one word of
truth in the report. The Directors of the
company had not even given the subject
an informal discussion, nor was there any
likelihood of them considering it. In no
way had the C lmpany thought of changing
the Present Oakland terminus. From
present indications no change would be
made unless in years to come something
might be done But that time was so re-
mote as 10 be out of the domain Of prac;i-
cal consideration.
" Mr. Towne, can you confirm the reports
about the company going to bridge the
Straits of Csrquinez?
Z" ! can say that our people are giving
some attention 10 that problem. We have
ordered complete survey and soundipgs
of the straits TO be taken. Engineers are
now engaged on that work, but it will be
be some time before they get through.
Everything hinges on the results of the
survey. If the engineers report that it is
practicabl to build bridge there is little
doubt that one will be built. Probably
this may all happen within the next two
years"
From other sources it was learned that
the company had invited one of the en-
gineers of bridge construction company
at Pittsburg to assist in the survey and
make a bid for building bridge there, If
the company make favorable decision on
the surveys submitted to it. a representa-
tive was accordingly sent out from Pitts
burg and is now on the ground. The prob
able cost OF such piece of work is esti-
mated ct s. 0o0,000 by local railroad Off

THE FOOTHILL TRAGEDY.
A Belief that Kneebone Was Mistaken
for Another Party.

NEVADA CITY, July 1st.-Joe Williams, a
Portuguese, and a man named Moore, who
claim to have found the dead body of
Joseph Kueebone, who was murdered on
Friday near Spenceville, have been ar
rested on suspicion. Their actions after
reporting the murder led to their arrest.
Kneebone, the finding of whose body is
mentioned above, was shot and robbed
near his fathers residence, about thirteen
miles from Grass Valley and near Spence
vile. He was freighter, and was return
ing home from Sierra City. The body was
dragged from the wagon and the clothing
thoroughly examined for valuables The
murder may possibly be the result of land
troubles which his father has had the past
few years.
Another theory is advanced that Knee
bone received the shots that were intended
for man named Gassman. who is also a
driver for the dead mans father. Several
months ago at Grass Valley Gassman de-
serted young girl, who died broken
hearted. Gassman was afraid of punish
ment at the hands OF the girls relatives
and left the country. A short time since
he returned to this section and secured EN-
ployment from Kneeboue as driver of a
freight wagon between Marysville and
Sierra City. His whereabouts became
known, and the theory is that a friend or
relative sought vengeance and killed the
wrong man.

Protection In Tahiti.

The barkentine Tropic Bird, Captain
Burns, arrived in port to-day from Tahiti,
after a voyage of forty-three DAYS She
brings the important information that the
Tahitian Government has abandoned its
free trade policy, and placed heavy pro-
tective tariff on all products landed on the
island from American and English ports.
The tariff, it is stated, amounts to about
so per cent. on staples. For number OF
years Tahiti has maintained free trade, but
il is claimed that The welfare of the island
instead of, being benefited, has been in.
iured The islanders hail the action of the
Government with great delight and cele-
brated the event with numerous demon

bring this information that, as the free
trade policy of other islands in the neigh
borhood OF Tahiti have been no more pro-
ductive of happiness than in Tahiti's case,
a general adoption of protective laws will

selves as satisfied; they did not get quite as
mucn money as they had expected, but they
got Immediate returns, and there were no re-
Carnations or disputes about the condition of
the goods. 1t is evident thatthe auction system
has come to stay.
Very true; and let it be, in the interest
of common credit also put on record that
this auction plan was not made effective
and had "no show" whatever until the
Fruit Union sent Sacramento business
man to Chicago to put it on its feet and do
battle for it until it could stand alone But
for Sacramento business energy and pluck

tenn would have kept the fruit-growers of
California, so far as the Chicago market is
concerned, upon their knees at the mercy
of the middle men of that city.

WHEN Mr.. EuStis, of the Senate, told
the Republicans that the recent election
in Louisiana was none of their business
and that they have no right to investigate
alleged outrageous infraction of the cleo
ton laws, he made a serious blunder. The
Supreme Court has held that whenever an
election affects the membership of Congress
it may be inquired into by that body. 1t
goes 80 far as to say that the omission OF an
essential duty or the commission Of an act
that deprives voter Of his right in such
cases, becomes crime sgainst the United
States. That was the decision, in Just so
many words, in the tally-sheet cases of
Coy and Benhamer, in Indianapolis re-
Gently. The same law will be proved fit
for Louisiana Just as soon rs a defendant
can be fixed upon and brought to trial
The Louisiana election affects the integ-
rity Of the credentials of her Senator, and
therefore the resolution of Senator Chand-
Ter, calling for an investigation into al
legged frauds in the contest in which the
Louisiana Senator had direct interest, is
proper ard justified by the law

THE speech of ex-Confederate Chalmers
in the National Republican Convention
has greatly stirred up the Democratic press
1t is now shouting, Take him if you want
him; he wanted Office from the Democ-
racy, couldn't get it, and so bolted."
Whether this is true or not makes no sort
of difference we are not disposed to insult
the Southern Democrats by the suggestion
that an able ex-Confederate General could
not get Office from the Southern end of the
party if he wanted it. But however that
may be, the question is did General Chal-
mers speak the truth when he charged that
the black-skinned voter in Louisiana and
Mississippi has no chance to have his bal
lot fairly counted, so long as it is TO the
interest of the Democrats to prevent it?
If he lied, he ought to be held up to pub
lie execration; if what he charged is YER
ity, 1t is no reply to say thathe Chalmers,
is disappointed officeseeker. This thing
will not down; it is, or it is not true that
bulldozing, intimidation, tally-sheet forg-
ing and general deyilishness in the manip-
uiation of the ballot-box prevail at the
South in the interest of the Democratic
party and adverse to the rights of Repub-
Ecan voters. The recent election in Lou
isiana, the remarkable changes in the
party vote and the amazing abnormal in
crease Of the Democratic vote give the best
of reasons for believing that Just what
General Chalmers said is true. Being
true, it is also undeniable that these fraud
ulent practices are not only the result OF
Democratic continuance and consent but
that the leaders of the party at the North
are compelled to keep silence concerning
them.
II would be an excellent idea for the
National Republican Committee to secure
General Chalmers to take part in the cam
paign stamping at the North and in the
West. The people would thus be brought
face TO face with an intelligent and impor-
tant witness, and could themselves Judge of
the truth of his assertions and estimate
the virtue of Southern Democratic tactics
at their true worth
