NEARLY THE END.
THE ITATA CASE IS ALMOST CON-
CLUDED.
The Testimony Taken at Yesterdays Ses-
sion-The Boatswain Says Two Can
non We're in the Hold-Other Wit
nesses and Their Evidence.

The governments case in the trial of
Hon. Ricardo Trumbull and George A.
Burt, charged criminally with arming
and fitting out the Itata as a warship,
was nearly finished yesterday morning,
Mr.. Campbell announcing at the time of
adjournment at noon that they have
only two or three more witnesses. The
testimony during the morning was de-
voted almost entirely to the attempt OF
the government to prove that the Itata
was formidably armed with cannon and
soldiers when she was in the harbor at
San Diego on the occasion of her first
trip north from Iquique.
Several laborers who had been en-
gagged in loading coal into the Itata at
San Diego were examined, and some OF
them saw one or two cannon between
decks, while others saw none. One of
the witnesses saw dismounted cannon
resting on blocks Of wood in the lower
hold when he went down to trim coal.
None of them saw any soldiers.
Albert Blair testified that he rowed
Capt. Dill to the, Itata from the pilot
boat when the Itata took French leave
at San Diego, and saw three cannon on
board, mounted. One of them was for
ward on the bow, and the other two
amids hips under the bridge.
Richard Trent, of San Pedro, inspector
of customs under Major Downing, testi-
fed to trip over to Catalina, where the
schooner Robert and Minnie was boarded,
Mr.. Burt was aboard, and made no
concealment of the arms and ammuni-
ton on board. He said that they were
to be sent to Chile by a transport which
he expected to meet him there.
James A. Heath, of San Diego, ship
chandler, testified to having sold $3lO0
worth of stores to the Itata, part of
which were marked Esmeralda.
Deputy Marshal A. W. Marsh testified
that he had several conversations with
Mr.. Burt, and that the latter talked
freely of his relation to the affair. He
was in Peru when he received tele-
gram from Mr.. Trumbull to meet him
in New York. He went and was going
on to London to purchase machinery
for a railroad he is building in Peru,
but undertook to assist Mr.. Trumbull in
getting the arms and ammunition to
Chile and did go. Mr.. Burt told the
witness that the Itata would not be
stopped, that the matter was too ur-
gent.
The last witness called was an old
colored man named Simons, who was
"bos'n on the Itata from January until
July. He seemed to be conscientious
witness, and said that the Itata did not
unload the four cannon at africa. but
brought them along, and after leaving
Cape San Lucas for San Diego slowed
them in the lower hold, two forward
and two aft, and that they were not
brought up again while in San Diego.
He said also that there were soldiers on
board, but only twelve; ten of them
and sergeant. They acted as guards up
to Cape San Lucas, and after that as
laborers. There could not have been
fifty soldiers on board.
Court adjourned until Monday morn
ing at 10 80 O'Clock, when the trial will
be resumed.

COURT HOUSE PLUMBING.
F. M. Parker & Co. Do Good Work on
the Building.

1t has only been within the past week
that the contract of f. M. Parker & Co.,
who undertook 10 supply the county's 8
new court house with the complicated
system of plumbing called for by that
structure, has been completed. This
portion of the construction of the build
ing has been under the personal super
vision of F. M. Parker himself, who has
devoted large portion of his time for
the past several months to the work,
and the completeness and thoroughness
with which his part of the contract has
been carried out is only another instance
OF the pains-taking manner in which
all work undertaken by this prosperous
and popular firm is done.
Besides the handsome closets and
lavatories which have been in use since
the building has been occupied, and
which have been declared the finest in
Southern California by long odds, the
firm has added several new features
which are worthy of comment. Adopt
ing Mr.. Z. M. Parker's idea, the board
OF supervisors has had put at the head
OF each flight of the main stairway, on
either side, handsome marble drinking
fountains, imbedded in the wall and
fitted up with handsome cups and other
fixtures. These are supplemental to the
system OF ice-water tanks placed in the
various rooms of the building. The
latter are OF a kind never before seen in
this city. as, although they are filled
daily with ice, the user does not drink
the impure ice-water, but instead draws
water directly from the city's service
pipes, which is cooled and filtered
through porcelain In passing through
the apparatus. This invention is not
only a complete success as a cooler and
litter but is a great ornament to the
rooms and costs mint Of money to put
in place.
These are only few features of the
complicated system of plumbing which
has been in charge of f. M. Parker &
90. The lavatories and closets, all Of
which are lined with marble slabs set in
solid cement backing, are fit for palace.
The traps are of the latest and most
approved design, and entirely auto
matte. Besides these visible features.
OF course, is the maze of service and
waste pipes hidden in the walls of the
building, and requiring great skill and
experience to put in place and get in
working order, considering the large
number OF apartments to be supplied.
On last Tuesday steam was turned
into the system OF steam radiators or
heaters, with which the building has
been supplied, and so perfectly had all
the pipe connections throughout the
building been made that not a leak was
found anywhere. Any one who is at
all familiar with steam fitting will at
once understand that this is very fat
tering result for the contractors.
F. M. Parker & Co., who captured
this contract from all competitors and
fulfilled it honestly and we'll, have a
complete stock of the goods in their line
at No. sos South Spring street, and are
to assume any undertaking in
the plumbing business, no matter how
large, and carry it through successfully.
1t is generally conceded that more
thorough piece of work than their por-
ton of the court house construction has
never been accomplished in this city.

LiliuOkalani'S Illness.
United States Officials Received by
Her Majesty.

Associated Press Dispatches.
SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 24.-The steam
ship Australia arrived today from Hon
olulu, three days ahead OF time, owing
to change in the schedule OF the steam
ship company.
Hawaiian papers make no mention of
any illness OF Queen Liliuokalani. The
queen informally received United States
Minister Stevens, Captain Kautz, of the
U. S. S. Pensacola and Commander
Bartlett, of the U. S. S. Marion, on the
first of this month.
The Pensacola arrived at Honolulu
on September 25th fifteen DAYS from
San Francisco. She was expected to re-
main at Honolulu several months. The
Marion arrived there on the following
day, nineteen days from Bering sea, and
after taking on coal and provisions, left
for Yokohama to report to Ad-
miral Belknap. The u. S. S. Alert
also arrived from Bering sea on the way
to China, about October Sd, and stopped
to coal before proceeding on the voyage.
Hon. John E. Bush was acquitted bv
the supreme court of Hawaii, October
5th, of the charge of criminal libel. The
allegation was that Bush published
statement that after the discharge of f.
W. Wundenberg from the postoffice
department the latter engaged in trea-
sonable conspiracies against the queen.
One other case of libel is pending
against Bush, wherein he charged Wun-
denburg and Thurston with taking part
in a meeting which had for its object
the assassination of the queen.
The volcano of Kilauea is very active
and the cracks which formed in the
mountain side during one of the late
flows are beginning to steam again.
The equinoctial storm was the severest.
ever known in that district.

A CIamor in British Columbia for an
Exclusion Law.
OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 24.-Advices from
British Columbia are to the effect that
great excitement exists there among the
white laborers over the refusal of the
Dominion government at the last session
TO adopt legislation restricting the imi-
grafton OF Chinese laborers. Chinese
arrive in hundreds by every steamer
from Hongkong, and although hundreds
make their escape across the boundary
line into the United States, considera-
BILE number remain in the Pacific
provinces. The presence of battery
at Victoria and militia on the main
land are said to have prevented riots
which otherwise would have occurred
within the last few months. A bill is
now before the British Columbia legis-
lature, making it illegal to employ
Cinnamon in coal mines.

China Afraid of Rebellion,

SHANGHAI, Oct. PA message from
Pekin says: The Chinese government
has decided to send part Of the Pechi-
hill garrison to restore and maintain
order in the disturbed locality. This
resolution was reached with great re-
luctance, as the Pechihili troops are
especially depended upon for the protec-
tion of Pekin and the adjoining country.
The Chinese government has become
satisfied, however, that there is some
danger OF the renewal of the old Tai
Ping rebellion, and that vigorous action
is necessary to prevent the movement
becoming formidable.

KINGSTON, n. Y, Oct. 24.-The super
intendent of banking institutions has is
sued statement of the Ulster Savings
bank. The plan proposed is to induce
depositors to leave their money for two
years without interest, and get it at the
end of that time in full, while those who
draw out their deposits will have them
scaled down per cent. The superin-
tendent thinks that the bank can pay at
least 85 per cent. on deposits if given
time, and ultimately the present de-
positors may be paid in full.

RENEWED DISTRESS.
Frost in Russia Adds TO the Rigor of the
Famine.


Famine.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Standard says The
approach of frost has caused renewal
of distress. Novosti estimates that mill
lions of people are without food. Statis-
tics prove conclusively in many places
that spectators get extortionate prices.
Corn merchants and village koolaks, or
usurers, are charged with the RESPONSE
bility for the extortion. A Samara
paper declares that the Jews are
angels compared with the koolaks, who
are in the habit of reducing those in
their power to the lowest stage of pov.
erty. Incidents showing the terrible
distress of the people continue to be re-
corded. A woman of Ratchino, on re-
turning home from neighboring viii
lage, whittier she had gone to try to
purchase food, found all her children
dead. A post mortem examination be-
ing made, their stomachs were found
filled with rags and earth. Many viii
lagos are completely deserted. One-half
the population of Reasan died OF hun
ger. An odious traffic is carried on in
women's hair, the best heads realizing
a crown apiece.
The Novoe Vremya announces that
the Russian government is about to is
sue an order prohibiting Jews from
entering into contracts to supply the
government with spirituous liquors, or
sell the same, except for export.
The official alnouncement is made
that, owing to the government meas
ures, winter sowing of grain in the
famine districts has been effected to
such an extent that there has been
little diminution in the former area. In
many provinces summer seeds have
been bought with state loans, and store
houses are to be established in the
distressed districts.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 24.-Speaking of
the indictments found in Sioux Falls,
against the Louisiana Lottery company,
for violation of the anti-lottery laws,
President Conrad, of the lottery com

court Of this state in the case against
the secretary of state, compelling that
official to promulgate the purposed
revenue amendments to the consttu-
ton.

THE POPE's COMPLAINT.
He Deplores the License Given the r o.
man Rabble to Insult Him.


ROME, Oct. M.-The pope has written
a letter to the archbishop of AK, the
prelate who is to be prosecuted by the
French government for disregarding
circular OF minister of public worship,
enjoining archbishops OF France not to
leave their dioceses without, the con-
sent of the government. The order
was issued as the result of the popular
manifestation at Rome against French
pilgrims who were said to have behaved
in a reprehensible manner at the Pan
theon, In his letter the pope says he
deplores the fact that Roman rioters are
allowed to indulge with impunity in
every kind of license, profaning the
church, insulting the pontiff and NAL
treating pilgrims. The pope adds that
he hopes these indictments will not lead
to something more calamitous and
lamentable."
