then skipped out. The draft came back
dishonored and Wilson had to pay It,
He has learned that the fellow went

to other Spanish cities and that a gen.
eral rising of the Republican party had
been arranged for, but that the plot had
miscarried owing to some misunder-
standing of the plans of the leaders.
The report Of the affair, as tele-
graphed from Barcelona, placed no
credence in its alleged Republican as
pect, but stated that it was the work OF
stock spectators, and to-day that re-
port was substantiated by the arrest In
Barcelona of well-known and heavy
operator in Government securities on
the charge OF being party TO the con-
spiracy. The police, upon searching
the prisoner, found in his possession
number of letters which prove beyond
doubt that he was concerned in the at
tack upon the barracks, and that the
affair was simply novel and most des-
perate scheme to originate startling ru-
mors and thus allow the operators con-
cerned to ''bear the market"

AFTER HIS WIFE.
j. w. Kings Troubles on Account
of n Runaway Spouse.

James W. King. proprietor OF grocery at the
corner Of Powell and Vallejo streets. Is locked
up al the City Prison on a charge OF an assault
with deadly weapon and threats against life
The cause OF all his troubles Is the woman to
whom he was married five years ago. They
lived over The grocery, and apparently, happily.
Mrs. King disappeared on Saturday and neg
lected to tell her husband where she had gone
King learned that his spouse had left In
coupe, at least his clerk told him so. He started
out on tour OF investigation and finally dis
covered hackman who told him that he would
for the modest sum OF S25 tell where Mrs King
had gone. Just what arrangement King made
with the Jehu Is not known but sufficient ii Is to
say that they sailed forth together. They went
TO a certain house on Suffer street, but found It
unoccupied, and then King went to the abode
next door which CHANGED 10 be No. 1924.
Mrs. Pelton, the lady OF lie house, answered
Kings ring at the door-bell and assured him
that his recreant spouse not domlced
there. Mrs. PelIOn tried 10 smut the door In the
irate husbands lace, but he put his foot In the
opening. There was a lively scrimmage, aud
soon after. when &. C. Treat, a LOGGER In the
house, carle 10 the door, Il pistol was discharged.
Onicer Gordon arrested him a charge Of as
Sault with intent TO commit murder.
ms charge was reduced 10 an assault with
deadly weapon yesterday morning, while the
charge Of threats against life preferred by
one Allied b. Eekstein, with whom King had
some trouble on Sunday. King says that he did
not Intend to shoot any one when lie went to tue
but that lie carried pistol in hts overcoat pocket
and during the sermmage at the door it was
discharged. A torn and burned OveIcOat tends
TO Substantiate this statement.

charged with cruel punishments In his school,
am one OF the patrons of the school. l have
had children attending there for years and | feel
that 1t would be an outrage for the board to
refuse to investigate 0Connor's character. The
general sentiment In the Mission IS that he Is an
unit man for the position and IL would be out
rageOus o put him back. He has b en- in trouble
before and managed 10 get clear by reason of his
political pull. Last Wednesday night the bosses
were out In force trying TO Influence tie men,
Ders Of the board TO reinstate him at once with
out any investigation. They did not succeed
because there appeared TO be some decent
Directors who have the interests of the public
schools ut heart and are not run by political in
fiuences II Is the general IMPRESSION however
That The bosses Will get there somehow and that
OConnor Will not be Investigated. II the Repub-
lican party is going TO be run by the bosses to
such an extent that teacher against whom
grave charges are pending cannot be Investigated
then the party will suffer at tue next cleo lou.

spiI<ed and Barbed Fences.

To the Editor of the Morning Gail: 1 desire,
through your columns, to call attention TO the
danger existing at numerous places in this city
from the practice of barking fences with spikes.
1t is but short time since young business
man OF this city, accidentally falling against QUE
OF them, had his hand so badly lacerated that It
required six weeks of time 10 effect its healing.
There Is no necessity for such guards In city
as we'll p0liced as Is San Francisco, and there
should be Il law passed which would prevent
any suce fence being placed on n mans premises.
Supervisor iBurlln9 has prepared an ordinance
TO be presented 10 the Board OF Supervisors for
their action. making it a misdemeanor to con-
struct or maintain any fence or rail with sharp
ened spikes that may cause injury 10 any such
person. any violation of the same 10 be pun
fsbed by a fine not to exceed $780, 1t ould be
passed without hesitation, as these fences are a
standing menace TO the safety OF citizens.

PILoTAGE BILL.
The Chamber of Commerce Not Satisfied

The Chamber of Commerce Not Satisfied
With the New Law.
The Trustees OF the Chamber OF Commerce
met yesterday afternoon to formulate measures
to be proposed at The quarterly meeting OF the
Chamber on Tuesday. Among the measures to
he introduced is one of great importance refer
ring to the Pilotage BIZ which recently became
law. Certain members are not satisfied with
this bill, and II was pretty well discussed by the
Chamber Of Commerce before receiving the Gov
ernor's signature. the main objection being that
commerce Is hampered by the Increase In pilot
age provided for by the law in question. The
remedy Is thought to be not in the State Legisla-
;ure, but In constitutional provision under
which the Federal Government may take cOgni-
Zance of pi0tage matters. This prerogaIive,
however, has never been exercised by the Gen.
era Government, but it Is now proposed to begin
an agitation looking to the appointment Of pilots
by the authorities at Washington.

GROCERY at the corner of Post street and
Central avenue, was examined in Police
Court 2 yesterday on charge of murder.
The testimony introduced was similar to
that given at the COroner's inquest, but for
the defense evidence was introduced to show
that during the two years that Maggie lived
with Du Rose he had been very brutal to
her and she had frequently sought refuge
with neighbors Judge Morley held her for
trial on the charge of murder without ball.

Editor Morning Call: In all the articles writ
ten In regard to ravements 1t seems TO me there
is not enough stress laid upon the subject OF re-
pairs. While 1t was generally understood and be-
leved that putting so-called concrete under stone
blocks Is unnecessary and the order was passed
by The solid nine so that theie would be more
money in the poultice pavement ring for them.
1t seems to me that the subject Of repairs (and it
will be all repairs in few years. Is not fully
understood, for hear complaints from all quar-.
tiers OF exoIb ltant charges to individuals who
are obliged 20 put In water-p pipe or repair a
sewer, as high as75 cents per foot being charged.
