tors, and but for two costly errors in the
fifth inning the home team would have

Bowman threw out the best San Francisco
base runners at second. Godar. Reitz and

well, as the score shows.

coupons of 1900 and 1903 wolld be ps,d

would be redeemed each year,
In other words, after the payment of

S135 600 year. The last bond wo1ld be
paid in twelve and half years from 1899,
or would average due about 1905 A dollar

dollar is that is not to be paid for fifteen
years. This, at per cent. compound in
terest, would be As cents. If we increased
the amount going into the sinking and in

about 90 cents. ANY bond is, therefore,
worth this As cents, plus the present value
of all the coupons attached. A bond of
1883 would be worth only the As cents,
while bond of 1903 would bear fourteen
coupons and would be worth about par

The BOND PROBLEM.
D. a, LINDLEY DOES SOME FIGURING
ON THE SUBJECT.
He Aims to Present simple Plan That
VIII Help the City aud Pay
the Debt

Ems SUNDAY UNION: Toe meeting of the
would have-beenn freehoiders on Friday
night disclosed the TACT that many of the
gentlemen should read the Act that created
the bonds and the Acts relating to the
Funded Debt Commission, and also do a
little figuring on the per cent value (as an
interest bearing inyestmenD of bonds and
coupons. This would not take long, and
would enable the adjourned meeting 10 ac,
complish something. The easiest way to
get an idea of the workings of the proposed
plan is to consider it, first, as If It could be
worked out TO the end without any COM
plicatons. Start with considering that every
dollar the Commission draws hereafter out
of the sinking and interest fund should be
used for Improvements, or, more correctly.
in buying new city bonds The Commits
sl'n is, IN all matters of form, bond
holder, and gets money out of the sinking
ana interest fund thesam as anyother bond
holder and If it does not draw down, then
the outside bondholders simply get their
money so much the faster, and the whole
OF the money goes to San Francisco. in.
stead of large part of il going into i'm
provements in Sacramento In other
words, the outside bondholders simply get
paid of that much faster
The simpltied plan would result in the
Funded Debt Commission loaning the city
SS3o,o24 during the next thirteen years
The Commission would then be holding
naked bonds of total par vslue of S6Ol 800,
and these would average due five in wears
from 1900 They could sell these TO the CITY
al 80 cents on the dollar, and realize $4S. 600,
or It's equivalent in instailments. This
could also be invested in new bonds, or
With the interest drawn from the other new
bends would make fnnd large enough to
Duy in the 1884 coo naked bonds held bv
outsiders.
In making this loan the Commission
would take new bonds and hold them, and
would go out of the market as a buyer Of
old bonds and coupons. BY the time the
outside bonds and coupons are all paid the
city would be in debt TO the tune of this
SS35,62 but this debt it would owe to
itself, or rather, its Bond Commission
This Commission could then call mass
meeting and crown their work by pointing
out to the people how the old debt had
been wiped out, and at the same time the
city improved. They could then proceed
to wipe out the new bonds by applying the
torch.
Below is given the figures showing how
and when the Commission could draw this
SS35 ga. but will first show how to figure
on the date when any coupon or bond is
likely to be paid, the table that shows this
will be the one that is used IN figuring the
present value of coupons or bonds of differ
ent dates. The figures in this table are d.
pendent on the yearly income of the sink
ing and interest fund. No one can tell iust
what this will be; but, to illustrate let u,
consider that it will be the same as this
year, or about S135,0OO.

Supposed Scheme by Japanese to LIE
White Women Astray

Supposed Scheme by Japanese to Lead
White Women Astray.
The San Francisco papers have all, with
in few days past, mentioned the fact that
considerable anxiety is felt there for Mrs.
Crozier and her daughter Maud, who lately
left for Toxic, Japan, in company with
Miss Lille Barney, to accept positions in a
hotel there. They were engaged at $50 a
month each by two Japanese, who brought
letters OF recommendation. Miss Barneys
mother has since become fearful that her
daughter, as we'll as Mrs. ard Miss Crozer,
have been made the dupes of the willy Japs,
as the latter are said to be agents for large
public resort in Toxic, which is patron
lied by Europeans. The prettiest white
girls that can be secured are employed
there, and large number have already
gone there from San Francisco. The
American Consul has been asked by letter
to look after the women.
1t is believed that the Mrs. Crozier and
daughter referred to are the Mrs. NJ. c.
Crozier and her daughter Maud who re-
moved from this city to San Francisco
The names are the same, and the age of the
Miss Crozier who has gone to Japan (six-
teen years. corresponds to that OF the Sac
ramento girl.

Thumped.
II. G. Fisher, who gained considerable
notoriety not long ago when he wore
special policeman's star. got into row sew
eral days ago with John Harris, who
also boasts of considerable local celebrity.
Blows were exchanged, and Fisher at
tempted to strike Harris with an iron bar.
Harris disarmed him, and Fisher, in his
indignation, proceeded to Justice of the
Peace Henry's Court and swore out q war
rant for Harris arrest
The examination came up yesterday
forenoon.
Fisher was not present when Judge
Henry called up the case, but the witnesses,
through whose testimony he expected to
prove that Harris was the agsressor, were
all there.
Judge Henry did not want to keep the
witnesses waiting. and instructed Assistant
District Attorney Bruner to proceed with
the prosecution of Harris Four of Fishers
witnesses were sworn, but to the astonish-

NATIONALISM.

New Doctrine Is.

Burnett G. Haskell Explains What the
New Doctrine Is.
Burnett q. Haskell, the San Francisco
single tag theorist, addressed medium sized
audience at Y. NJ. 1. hall last evening on the
subject of Nationalism. This new doc
trine, he said, was fast becoming as power
full with Americans as well as other people
of the world. The doctrine is founded on
the principles and doctrines set forth by
Edward Bellamy in his famous novel,
Looking Backward" The Nalonalists
intend to carry out the theories of this
author and claim that they are thoroughly
practical.
The United States, said the speaker, has
seen several moral revolutions-the battle
for independence and the anti-slavery war
being the most important. Nationalism Is
the coming moral revolution, so the speaker
declared. He went into many of the fine
details of Bellamy's theory and pointed
out what he considered undisputable proofs
that the doctrine is sound and practical.
During the evening there were musical
selections by an orchestra and a song by
Mrs. Addie Carter.

THE DEFENDANT WAS DRUNK.
That Was Why Justice Henry Adjourned
Court.

G. G. Davidson, feeble and simple
minded old man, about 65 years old, was
the complaining witness in Justice of the
Peace Henry's Court yesterday in the case
of Thomas Cree, charged with embezzle-
ment.
II am laborer," testified the old man,
''and through my little earnings purchased
two horses and wagon a couple of years
ago. In October last rented my team to
Cree, the understanding being that l was
to receive $4 week for it. l left town
then but returned in about month. Cree
had been in hard luck, so l let him off as
regards the pay. We then agreed that he
could hire the team until l wanted it for So
week. He paid me So down, and | went
away again. When / returned he was hard
up, so l let him off again. Recently l
thought / would take the team, but Cree
would not give it up, saying that it be-
ionged to him."
The old man told this in a straightfor-
ward manner which could not be doubted.
Cree, whose personal appearances are de-
cidedly not in his favor, made himself a
nuisance in the Courtroom from the begin
ming of the examination owing to his in
toxicated condition He would leer first
at the Court and then at the complaining
witness, and would frequently interrupt the
latter. The Court called for order repeat
edly, and admonished Cree to conduct him
self more decorously. Cree's attorney, Lin
coin White, also tried to suppress The de-
fendsnt, bat with little success.
Under cross examination Davidson de-
MED that he had ever received cent from
Cree for the team, except the So mentioned
before. He never sold the team to Cree.
and the latter's object was to rob him, he
said.
Davidson was nearly paralyzed when
attorney White asked him if he didn't
remember of Cree having paid him Sl00 in
greenbacks for the team in the presence of
man named Hendricks.
''Greenbacksl A hundred dollarsl' he
exclaimed, staring in q dazed sort of way at
the attorney. why, l never saw any
greenbacks and l don't know any man of
that name"
At this juncture Cree broke loose again
with an idiotic laugh. He declared that
"the old man was of, +" and kept up such a
chatter that Judge Henry adjourned Court
in disgust. The constable was instructed
to lock Cree up in the County Jail to sober
up until Monday, when the case will be
resumed

against Fisher. Mr.. Bruuer therefore
moved dismissal of the case, and the
motion was promptly granted by the
Court.
About ten months after this Fisher hove
into view. A friend informed him of tire
disposition of the case, and Fisher strobe
up with fire in his eve to Judge Henry,
who was conversing with several acquaint-
ances on the sidewalk in front of his Court
Fisher insultingly remarked to the Judge
that it was very funny piece of business"
to dismiss the case in his absence.
Judge Henry explained how it had oc-
Cured, but Fisher grew more insulting.
The Judge then warned him not to go
too far with his insults and walked away
In the meantime bystander, who had
overheard the trouble between Fisher and
the Judge, ran down to the corner of Sixth
and l, where Harris and several friends
were congregated, and informed them that
FISHER was going TO bounce the Judge
Harris and his party ran to the rescue,
reaching Fisher just as the Judge was
walking away, and moment later Fisher.
Harris and the Others were hidden from
view in the dust of street.
Constable Martin attempted to mil
Fisher out of the crowd, but was unable 10
do so before the latter had been given a
sound beating.

COUPONS HELD BY COMMISSION.

This plan carries with it the idea that
we could work under the amendment of
1889 Should we be prohibited from so
working we could only buy county bonds
under the old law, and we would have to
sell the improvement bonds outsiGe of the
Commission. If we are forced TO the wall
We might possibly persuade the county to
issue bonds to improve the country roads
and let our Commission buy them gradu-
ally. This would prevent our Commission
from becoming useless and enable it TO
earn interest on its present holding and
build up an offset to the debt.

Admits His Guilt


Admits His Guilt.
Lee Now, the Chinaman whom officer
Frazee detected in running a lottery on
Friday night. pleaded guilty in the Police
Court yesterday to the charge of gaming.
and was ordered to appear for sentence on
Monday. The capture by officer Frazee
was very cleverly done and the Chinaman
could do nothing but plead guilty.
The officer was changed from an uptown
beat to street on Friday, and the China
man did not know him. Frazee went to
the door of one of the lotteries about IL
o'clock at night and addressing the look
out asked:
What time you draw tonight, John ?''
"One hap-hour," replied the heather.
Officer Frazee walked away, but returned
in half an hour and edged into the room
with lot OF interested Mongolians, and in
an instant he had the head man and the
whole outfit captured.
