BOND EXTENSION.
Offers Of New York Bankers 10 Take I'll
the Loan.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Several Offers for
the extension of AZ per cent bonds were re-
eeived at the Treasury Department this
morning They were all from Western
banks. Secretary Foster called on the
President this morning and Informed him Of
the result Of his recent conference with the
bankers and brokers of New York and of
theirproffered willingness to take up the
entire AZ per cent loan If extended at per
cent.
NEW YORK, June s.-Dow-Jones & Co.'S
News Agency says: We are confident the
Treasury Department Will redeem none of
the Az bonds due September LIST. We are
satisfied an arrangement has been made to
extend all the rs at per cent, and prac-
tically the entire $50, 000.0 coo will become a
basis for circulation. Ii this is done, and
the Treasury issues S24. 900 silver GER
tifcates for small silver coinage, the gold
exports this spring will not be felt in the
fall.
No conclusion was reached at the confer
ence, and the question viii be considered at
the Cabinet meeting tomorrow There is
much conflict OF opinion as TO the action of
the Treasury Department with respect to
the loan, but it is generally understood that
Secretary Foster favOTs its extension at 2
per cent. He admitted as much this after
noon. He said that such course would
raise the credit of the Government and at
the same time enable the national banks to
increase their circulation, thing greatly
needed after the heavy shipments of gold.
He said also, however, that there were so
many strong arguments In favor of the eX-
tension at lower rate Of interest that he
really did not know but that it might finally
be concluded to fix the rate at per cent.
The Western banks, which are said to favor
the l per cent rate. hold more than half of
the entire amount owned by the national
banks, but the Eastern bankers will pur-
chase the entire outstanding loan of $751;
0000 900 at per cent, while the Western
bankers have spoken only with respect to
the bonds now held by them.

A CALIFORNIA LION.
He Visits Paper Mill Creek and
ROuts an Angler.

Residents Of Olema and sportsmen who
visit that section Of country in the seasons
for fishing and hunting will remember the
excitement that was created few years ago
in the vicinity of Point Reyes by the an
nouncement of the visit of a brace
Of California lions that were then
creating havoc among the cattle of
the neighborng ranchers. The depre-
dationS of the blOodthirsty animals
became so frequent that party composed
OF the best hunters Of Marin County was
organized and q spirited chase was given the
''Yarmints" through a section OF country
now leased by the Country Club as q pre-
serve for game and fish.
The series of hunts resulted in the killing
of two OF three black bears, but the wary
lions "smelt danger from afar" and avoided
their puTsueTs by keeping well out of range
Of Winchester rifles. For several weeks
after there were no complaints of stock
missing from any of the ranges, and it was
thought that the unwelcome guests had
taken their departure for parts unknown.
AN INTERRUPTED BANQUET.
After the excitement had fairly abated, q
wellknOwD hunter, who resides near Oiema.
was vending his way h0meWard through
Bear Valley, when be heard strange
noise emanating from an opening near tn e
road, and looking in the direction Of
the clearing, he saw a monster lion
feaSting on the carcass Of a colt. Re-
pairing post haste to the nearest dwell
ing, he procured a rifle and with
a friend he returned to the place where his
royal highness was enjoying a grand rep St.
| The monster was still buSily occupied in
the feast, and failed to detect the presence
| OF the hunter until tle latter got we'll with
| in rife-shot distance. A single shot did the
| business, and 1t is hardly necessary to add
that there was much rejoicing in the neigh
| borho0d when the news of the death Of
King Lion was spread at large.
This season Point Reyes has been again
visited by one of the genus Leo, and already
/ his presence has been felt by some Of the
farmers, whose calves roam along tue hill
sides.
ANOTHER LION APPEARS.
On Saturday night last ali angler named
Twitchell, who was fishing on Paper Mil
| Greek, short distance below TocalOma,
| for large fish, was suddenly apprised of the
| presence of some ferociOus animal by a roar
| that, in the words of the angler, caused his
| hair to stand ON end. He did not know
| what kind Of wild beast it was, but suffice it
| to say he packed up his traps as speedily as
| he could and beat haSty retreat TO the
| hotel, which place he reached at 10 o'clock.
| 1t was the anglers intention to fish during
| the hours of darkness. as large fish feed
only at night during this season of the year,
| but the unexpected happened on this occa-
| sion, and it is extremely doubtful If any of
| the fraternity Of WaItonans who have
heard the news will venture on the stream
at night while Mr.. Lion is prospecting for a
succuent mess.
As there are no hounds in Marin County
that will run lions, it is extremely doubtful

LONE MOUNTAIN.
No Truth in the Statement That
1t Is to Be Removed.

A statement was circulated yesterday that
the Southern Pacific Company was nego-
tiating for the purchase Of the sand upon
Lone Mountain, which will be used in filling
up the depression on the Bay District race
track.
The site occupied by Lone Mountain
forms part of the property owned by the
Roman Catholic Church. 1t contains twelve
blocks, not including Calvary Cemetery.
and is bounded by Masonic, Parker and st.
Rose avenues and Turk street. One block
fronting upon the laSt-named street belongs
to the Sisters of Mercy of st. Mary's Hos
pital. who intend to build school or old
ladies home upon it.
A CALL reporter visited Father Montgom-
cry, Chancellor Of the diocese, last evening
for information concerning the statement
that the Lone Mountain property was TO be
sold He said every piece of real estate
held by the church was for sale, unless it
was formally dedicated to some special use.
As for this particular piece Of property he
knew nothing Of any intention of the South
ern Paclhc Company or Of any other person
to acquire it. Some months ago he was
asked ii it could be bought for stated sum,
but it was so rldiculously Small that he
knew the person making it did not mean
business, and since that time nothing fur
Their had been SAID on the matter by any
one
Another statement made yesterday put
wrong construction upon some conversation
with Father Montgomery in regard to the
burials in Calvary Cemetery He was
made to say that no intermentS were made
there and that when the present generation
had passed away and the law permitted, the
bodies will be removed from Calvary Gene
terry and the site used for other purposes.
What he did say WAS that no interments
were made i'm the old Mission Cematerv &c
the law did not permit them. But Calvary
Cemetery is used to-day by parties owning
lots there, for which they hold deeds of
record However. the time will come when
the interments in Calvary must cease, and
as the church recognizes the power of the
city to enforce its laws the cemetery will

for cooking and lighting nothing surpasses
it. 1t has given great impetus to manu-
featuring, and the result is that Stockton
has a great boom. The source of this sup
ply is as yet mystery, but those who have
examined the question closely are of the
opinion that it comes with the water sup
ply from great subterranean reservoirs in
the Sierras, and is practically inexhausti-

Captain Kennedy, who has been a Cap

Der of years, sat in the Palace yesterday
and discussed the interesting features Of
the great seat of the Federal Government.
The last time l saw Senator Hears"
said he, II was explaining the freze TO a
party of sight-seers, and just as | reached
that portion representing the discovery of
gold The old Senator passed with Congress
man Clunie.
"a funny idea occurred 20 me at that
moment, and l said in a loud tone: Ladies
and gentlemen, that picture represents
Senator George Hearst in the act Of diSc0v-
ering gold in California in 1649. The
younger and more handsome gentleman
who stands next him is Thomas Jackson
Clunie, now in Congress from his native
State. BY the way, there is the Senator
passing, and Congressman Clunie is now
with HIM, as he was a. the time of the gold
discovery.
"a few minutes later the old Senator re-
turned and slipped a twenty-dOllar gold
piece into my hand.
It's all right this time. nv boy he
said good-naturedly, but don't give any one
else that story IN future.
