THE TRUE INWARDNEss
Expressions From Some of the Interior
Papers.

[Stockton Daily Mail, October 29th.l
The Merced Star has got onto the COM
blnatiOn. 1t says of San Francisco's new
Traffic Association:
The real design is to compel If possible. the
overland roads to have but one terminal sta
tion and to allow no overland goods to reach
California without going through San Fran
cisco. Every new terminal point in the State
is blow at San Francisco.
We thought the interior would awake
to the true lnwardneSs of the situation be-
fore it was too late. Whatever our opin-
ion may be Of the railroad monopoly, it is
no more than duty we owe ourselves to
protect our commercial interests as a
community against the designs of rival
and larger community. The building up
of the business of San Francisco is of no
advantage to the business of Stockton,
and when the growth there is at the ex-
pense of the development here it is time
tor every business man to be on his
guard. San Francisco was not even sat
isfied with being the only point in the
State, outside of Sacramento and Los An
geleS, to which through freight could be
shipped, but demanded and received a
rebate from the railroad company Pos
sibly the abolishing of the rebate system
is what has put the metropolitan trades
people In their present attitude of hostil-
ity.
One of the largest importers of Eastern
manufactures in Stockton said this morn
ing that ne had personal knowledge of
the existence of the rebate system for
San Francisco importers since Stockton
was made a terminal point. He knew it
because he had received some carload
consignments, designed for reshipment
down the coast, in the name of friendly
San Francisco house, for the express pur-
pose of availing himself of the rebate.
Il do not know said he, whether this
discrimination is practiced now, but | do
know that it was in vogue some time
ago."
What do these San Franciscans want?
They have said what they wanted.
through this new Traffic Association. 1t
is this: To make San Francisco the dis
tributing point for the commerce of the
State. Stockton has no right to figure as
a distributing point at all. Neither has
Fresno. Everything should go 10 the
metropolis first, and so much of it as NAV
be designed for the local trade OF Stockton
shipped back here at the local rates. This
would put the metropolis in command of
the commerce Of the State, and shut
Stockton and other interior terminal
points out of all trade except the strictly
local trade. 1t is a fine scheme, but we
doubt if it will work.

Flames,

A Furious Windstorm Fans the
Flames.
ABERDEEN IS. d., Nov. 2-The great
est windstorm which has ever visited this
section has just subsided. The presence
of large prairie fires west of the city
made the situation anything but pleasant.
At Roscoe the people watched the fire
and guarded their homes all night Still
several lost houses, barns, hay and even
stock by the fierce flames
At Huron the Riverside Cemetery was
ruined by fire.

eighty miles long has been swept by the
ire, and that the loss will be upward of
100000.

ports of the forest fires raging in the
northeastern part of the county have been
received. The reflection Of the fire could
be seen from here last night. The wind
IS blowing a gale and nothing can be
done to stop the flames at this writing.

Released,
KNOXVILLE (Tenn.), Nov. 2. At /
O'Clock this morning two hundred
mounted men came in from the noun
tains and liberated two hundred convicts
working in the mines at Oliver Springs.
So quietly was it done that the people of
the town knew nothing about what had
happened until 6 o'clock this morning.
when they discovered the stockade a mass
of smoking ruins. All short-term prison.
ers were furnished with citizens cloth
ing, and with the exception of few cap
tured, ali are now at large. This makes
more than five hundred penitentiary con-
yicts turned loose in that locality since
Friday evening. The Governor of the
State was here yesterday but left this
morning for Nashville. It does not ap-
pear that there was any resistance on the
part of the guards and nobody was hurt
The widest rumors prevail, one of which
is that the miners will Immediately pro-
ceed to Tracy City and release the con
VictS there.
Later advices from divers confirm the
statement that l56 convicts were released.
But ten guards were in the stockade
The miners numbered ECO. All were
mounted and many masked. tits now
stated that the miners are releasing con-
victs taken by officers as soon as cap

Special to the REconD-uN1oS.


ASHLAND (Or.), Nov. "A man who
answers very closely the description of
Charles B. Hogg, alias Burton, and
wanted at San Bernardino, Cal, for
forging bank checks, was arrested at
Ashland this afternoon for committing a
like forgery upon bank here. He has
every appearance Of being a shrewd,
skillful worker in the forgery line, and
on his person were found blank checks
on various banks from Texas to CaIifor-
MA.
The cashier of the Bank of Ashland
cashed check on an Eastern bank for
$500 presented by Hogg and Endorsed by
Rev. I. 6. Strange of this place to. day,
but became suspicious of the signature Of
Mr.. Strange, and upon investigation
found that it had been forged. The
forger had coolly remained in town
though, and was induced 10 return to the
bank and pay back the money until he
could have the check further indorsed.
Upon leaving the bank he seemed to fear
that he was suspected and immediately
started to walk out of town, but was over
hauled by the officers before he had got
ten far.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff
was notified this evening, and Hogg will
probably have several cases of forgery to
answer for before he is through.

CHASTITY Find Made by a San Francisco
Policeman.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. I'm a vacant
lot off Pacific street, near the novels in
the rear of the Chinese Hospital, Special
Officer Hugo Huebner made a ghastly
find this morning about o'clock He
saw large clothes basket filled with
what was apparently washed linen which
was about to be delivered to the patrons
Of some laundry. No one was near by
and he went close up to the basket, when
he observed tuft OF black hair protrud-
ing from one end. Then he pulled down
some Of the clothing and there found the
corpse of Chinaman. The body had
been jammed in the best way it could be
gotin, being as it was twice as long as the
basket.
An examination at the Morgue re-
vealed the fact that the dead man had
been shot in the back, the bullet passing
entirely through the body and coming
out to the right and below the navel
From the condition of the remains it
was evident that the shooting took place
about last Thursday or Friday, and that
| death resulted this morning.
1t IS evident that this was the first
blood spilled in the present Chinese
hlghbinder war, and was the cause OF
the subsequent shooting of two others on
Saturday night following.

Says the Truckee Republican: "Work

vehicle that promises to revolutionize

are subjected to a heavy snowfall II is
nothing less than sleigh that can be
propelled by steam. It is the invention
of Amos Lane, who has submitted the
plans to George Schaffer, who has pro-
nounced them practical and who will fur
nish the means to build the first sleigh.
The work will be done at Reid's black
smith shop.
Two years ago Mr.. Lane constructed
an experimental machine at Sierraville.
1t was propelled by hand, but the work
ing was satisfactory and it succeeded in
making good progress over very soft
snow five feet deep. All who have studied
the principle upon which the machine
works pronounce no apparent obstacle in
the way of its successful working"
