weeping proceeded from the galleries.

grades of service, and it was for the purpose
of discussing this measure, and other mat
tiers connected with the Government, that
this meeting was called.
A special notice, printed for couple of
days, made known this fact to the officers,
who were rather surprised this morning TO
learn that the meeting had been indefin-
ately postponed. 1t is whispered around
the department to-day that this action OF
postponing the meeting was due to the
wish of the Secretary, expressed in diplo-
matte manner to several of the leading
spirits of the movement.
He remembers the debate raised by SEN
ator Chandler in the Senate recently about
the employment of Hon. John R. Thomas
as attorney for certain naval officers to
lobby the Cowie bill through Congress, and
he felt it an act of prudence to call halt
quietly.
The Act proposed by Captain Phythian
increases the number of officers above the
grade of Lieutenanrs in every staff depart.
ment, but the pay of the corps, where the
percentage of high ranks is now greater
than in any other branch of the service.
The Act gives the Engineer Corps two
Chief Engineers with the rank of Commo
dore, besides Chief of Bureau. This i!
generally regared as sop" to the engineers
who have always been ready to antagonizt
almost every reform measure that has eve
been introduced, for the reason that they
have generally been ignored. There is alst
provision that ensigns, after four years
service, of which three shall be sea service
| may, on their own application, be examined
| for promotion.

tearing noise was heard and the hind
trucks of the second car-the smoker

presence of mind that the lady passengers
were controlled. No person was hurt,

ful. A train was dispatched from Tiburon

started forty minutes late. The road was
cleared about 1:30 TODAY.

the week of prayer in series of union
meetings.

gress of this service the Rev. Mr.. Hughes
pastor of the Presbyterian Church, was
called on to pray. In the course of his in
vocation he introduced the articles of faith
of their church, and on their knees the two
preachers fought over the doctrines of their
respective churches, while the congrega-

crowded about the two disputants, who
bombsrded each other with Bible quota
tons, UNCONVENTIONAL argument and sharp
retort.

proceedings as disgrace to the place, TIM

ANXIOUS CREDITORS.
They Search Private House for Con-
cealed Goods.

GRASS VALLEY, January 18th. = Two
weeks ago Richard Phillips, a variety desler
of this city, made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. A few days later
Mr.. Joseph, a member of the firm of Din
kelspiel & Co., of San Francisco, was elected
assignee. He was made aware that mem
bers of Philips family and other relatives
had recently become possessed of consider
able valuable jewelry and other suspicious
circumstances came to light, and Mr..
Sunderland, the agent Of the State Board Of
Trade, was sent for.
As an upshot an attachment was issued
for the jewelry and q warrant for Phillips
arrest on charge of concealing goods with
intent to defrand his creditors.
The officers and parties interested went
to Phillips house and obtained consent Of
the wife to search the premises, with the
result that an original package of rubber
combs and a number Of dolls were found,
This was regarded as evidence conclusive
and the search discontinued.
Neither the attachment nor the warrant
were served, however, as Phillips is conf
promising for better than one hundred cents
on the dollar. The stock in the store was
invoiced for 81 ,0C0 and was sold for 81 600.
The claims aggregate 81 500, but about $500
was scaled eff as not valid claims on the
stock. Phillips settled the remainder due
by giving mortgage for $4,000 ON his real
estate.

of draft of the extradition treaty agreed
upon by Lord Salisbury and the American
Minister in London, for submission to the
various legislative bodies for sanction, has
been forwarded to the Governor General
from the Foreign Office, and handed by
him to Hon. Joseph Chapleau, Secretary of
State. The treaty has been confidentially
communicated, and its precise text cannot
therefore be made public, but it may suf-
flee to give synopsis of its provisions.
1t is drafted as an extension of the Ash
burton treaty of 1912. The portion of that
treaty which deals with extradition is COM
prised in article 10. The crimes mentioned
in that section as extraditable are murder,
assault with intent to commit murder,
piracy, arson, robbery snd the utterance of
forged papers. The new treaty recites that
| whereas, it is desired by her Britannia
Majesty and the United States of America
that the provisions of said article 10 should
embrace certain other crimes not therein
specified, therefore the high contracting
parties, after conferences between Salisbury
and Minister Lincoln, had agreed that the
following crimes, in addition to those men
toned in article 10, should be henceforth
extraditable, namely:
Attempt or conspiracy to murder, man
slaughter, counterfeiting or altering money
and uttering counterfeit or altered money;
burglary, embezzelment or larceny of any
sum or article of the value of $50 and up
ward; rape or indecent assault on females;
malicious injury to property whereby the
life of any person is endangered; criminal
scuttling or destroying vessels on the high
seas or on the great lakes Of North America,
or attempting or conspiring TO do SO; as
sault on board a vessel on the high seas or
on the great lakes of North America with
intent to destroy life or TO do grievous
bodily harm
Any person who has been convicted of
any of these crimes, but who has not
served bis sentence, shall be extradited.
The treaty shall not have retroactive force
that is, it will not apply to crimes COM
mitted before legislative sanction has been
given to it. Crimes of political character
are not TO be included in its provisions, and
if prisoner can show to Court that the
real object of these making requisition for
his surrender is to try him for political
offense he shall be set at liberty.
A fugitive criminal who has been acquit-
ted of the charge for which extradition was
sought shall not be tried for any other
offense committed prior to the date of ex-
tradition until he has first had an oppor-
tunity of returning to the country from
which he was extradited. The treaty may
be terminated by notification from either
Of the contracting parties.

and intellectually; that owing to this
condition of affairs existing between them
the negroes demand and will continue
TO demand equal rights, as citizens, to par
ticipate in tie elections, and it has been
fixed in the minds and hearts of the
Anglo-Saxon race that the race is so far
inferior to them. SO ineapacitated in the
administration Of government, that it shall
never hoid the Iudder which controls the
destiny Of the great ship OF State.
General West says it will cut down the
representation in Congress and the Elect
oral College, but no matter; better afford
high tariff and Republican rule. with pro-
lection against the negro, than low tariff
and Democratic government.

The District Attorney claims to have
