TITLE is NOT GOOD.
Objection Made to the Realty Sales in the
Pearsons Estate.

OpJeciion Made to the Realty Sales in the
Pearsons Estate.
A cloud of attorneys appeared yesterday
before Judge Coffey to object to the con-
frmation Of sales of real estate to the
amount ofk1OO. 600, and belonging to the
estate Of Hiram A. Pearsons.
Various technical points were raised, but
the real cause of the objections was that as
the property now stands before the Probate
Court the title is not good. 1t was alleged
that .. 4. Won Rhein. who au ctioned off the
real estate a few days ago, on be b alf of the
executors of the will. had stated that unless
the title was perfect the deposits would be
returned and the sales never reported to tn e
court. All the purchasers, among whom
were John +. English, Gustave Harshall
and A. DelDaRco, testified to this.
1t appears that the Supreme Court re-
Gently decided In the case of Smith VS.. Ohm
sted that the Probate Court cannot order n
sale nor the executors give title that will
bar unknown children of the decedent.
Pearsons spent great deal of his time In
Europe and Eastern cities. he mi.ht have
a widow, or, at all events, child and
although neither has vet been found, the
attorneys are not willing to pass the titles to
the property unless some warranty is given
that they will not be harassed by an heir Of
whom nobody now knows anything.
Mr.. JarbOe contended that under the d.
cisions of the Supreme Court in line with
the case quoted. no record title could be
given-and that is the title every purchaser
is entitled to-by any will ever made in Cal
ifornia where the will confers the power to
sell upon the executors. The doctrine
that no such sale can bar the interests of q
minor heir and that the deed only conveys
the property less that interest, Is laid down
clearly and unmistaka ably. Mr.. Jarboe said
he disliked to announce his conclusions be.

DRAWS HIS SALARY.

New York Democratic papers are making
considerable ado over the refusal Of Sena-
tor Hill to draw salary from the 4th of
March, when his term began, to the 9Th of
January, when he was sworn in. These
journals have little to say about the weeks
after Mr.. Hill was sworn in which were
spent in Albany arranging for the election
OF Hill delegates to the State Convention,
which met on the 22d of February. The
fact that Senator does not draw salary for
time devoted to his own interests is a matter
Of minor Importance. The interest Sena-
tor represents requires representative to
be in his seat when the branch of Congress
to which he belongs is in session. It is no
compensation for Senator's absence that
he declines to receive few hundred dollars
that is legally due him. During the period
from March to December / the Senate was
not in session. From December / to Janu-
airy New York had but one Senator. Mr..
Hill seems to think that he has evened up
with his constituents by declining to draw
salary Tor the period of about nine months
while he was drawing salary as Governor of
New York. The people of this country are
somewhat in the habit of seeing the high
Office OF Senator subordinated to private in

DULL TINES IN EUROPE.

A London letter says: ''Stagnaton seems
to be settling down on everything, and with
dull. times permanent low rates" One
trouble with Europe is that everything is
so low that the average man has NO money
to buy anything with. Ii a laborer could
earn enough to provide we'll for himself and
family there would be less complaint oil over
production. But with the masses living on
low scale o. expenditure, goods they would
buy if they were able accumulate and mills
shut down. The American market has been
the main reliance Of European industries in
years past, but under the present tariff it is
slipping away from them. The outlook for
Europe to recover the American market is
not good The free-trade party has the
House, but the extent of its movement in
the direction of free trade is TO admit the
raw material of wool and certain manu-
features Of iron free. Even this small
measure of free trade is not expected to
become law. The beneficial effects OF the
tariff are SO apparent that the party which
is nominally opposed TO it is shy of making
an open attack. Free raw wool and free
cotton ties are the extent Of the relief the
present Congress proposes for the benefit OF
other countries.

ELECTION COMMISSION.

The Reform Dem ocracy Asks for a Place
on the Coming Ticket.
AT a meeting Of the Election Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon A. J. Donovan,
representing the Reform Democracy of San
Francisco, presented the claims of that
political faction for a position on the ticket
at the coming election and that the matter
might be definitely settled so that the club
could go ahead confidently with their or
ganiZatioD, he asked the commission to
pass aresolution to that effect, putting the
organization officially on record as entitled
to the place asked for.
In behalf of his request Mr.. Donovan
presented the following estimates to show
that the party is lawfully entitled to the
position claimed: Total vote cast at last
election 50, 565; per cent of that number
is 1866 There were tbirty-six regular Re-
form Democratic candidates who re-
ceived yariously from 400 TO $500 votes.
The total number received was 81 347 which
gives an average of 1876. or 200 In excess of
the per cent required by Law.
All the Commissioners expressed the
opinion that the faction represented by Mr..
Donovan is undoubtedly entitled to the
privilege asked, but for fear of acting in
advisedly they decided to wait till to-day's
meeting before passing resolution Oh the
matter.
After the meeting had taken place it was
reported outside that the true reason for
not passing the resolution was that there
would be a skirrnish between the faction
represented by Donovan, known as the
Deuprey-Faylor faction. and the other,
known as the Sutter-street faction, for the
mantle OF Reform Democracy" and that
the claims Of both should be heard before
deciding the matter.
q 1t is understood that the Sutter-street
faction will make a similar demand for
recognition upon the commission at to-day s

THE BANCROFT COMPANY.
How Its Manager Was Forced to Gil,
Up All His Stock.

How Its Manager Was Forced to Give
Up All His Stock.
Through the medium of the courts the
public will at no distant day be treated to
another insight of the affairs of The Ban
croft Company. What may be expected at
this trial is limited at in the amended COM
plant filed yesterday-W. B. Bancroft
against bis uncle, III. III. Bancroft, asking
for judgment for $4,000 and for costs of
suit.
The plaintiff represents that since boy-
hood he has been under the control and
direction OF his uncle, associated with him,
under his employ. and during part of the
time also residing with him. This uncle.
so he makes it appear, was accustomed at
all times 10 exercise great authority over
him, but being of a tyrannical and over
bearing disposition and accustomed to give
way TO his temper and exceedingly impa-
tent at opposition, had acquired and re-
tanned great influence over the young man.
On September 20. 1887, the latter owned
1345 shares of the stock OF the company. of
which he was manager and the uncle Presi-
dent and controlling the majority of stock
and the affairs. requiring the Directors 20
take such action and make and enter such
resolutions as he directed, his associates and
all servants of the corporation being in
fact at all times under his full and complete
control.
ln November, 1891, the manager borrowed
$500 from the Peoples Home Savings
Bank, and pledged his stock; but on Feb
ruary II. 1891. while this debt was not vet
due, he was asked by his uncle to deliver
this stock to him for 5000. threatening that
unless he did SO he would inform the bank
that he was not the owner of the shares,
was without authority TO pledge them, and
could cause assessments to be levied and
close and end the business of the company.
An Immediate answer was required, and
being given no time for reflection, yet in strait.
ened pecnniary circumstances, the nephew
saws. that in his habltual fear of the uncle, and
terrified by the threats he made. the transfer
and the debt was charged against the agreed
5000. The nephew claims that the value
of the stock was $4,000 on February -
1891. and asks for judgment for that sum,

DUPONT-STREET BONDS.
No Liability for Interest Is Attachah

No Liability for Interest Is Attachable
to the City.
demurrer was sustained yesterday by
Judge Sanderson in the case of Eugene
Mehler VS.. the City and County to recover
interest on what are known as Dupont
street bonds" but on which complaint.
though it was filed some seven years ago.
nothing has ever been done until few
months since. when on a notice requiring
the municipality to answer this demurrer
was filed, stating that the facts averred did
not constitute cause of action.
$50 hold the city and county liable in
this action" declares the opinion, would
be to make the payment of this interest
charge upon the general funds thereof, or
upon the entire taxable property of the city
and county, which manifestly Is not, and
was not, the intention of the act, nor rea-
sOnable construction thereof.
1T is true the act provides a mode for the
collection OF this money with which TO meet
the payment OF principal and interest on
these bonds. and that the city and county
through its officials is made the collector
and disburser of the money required to be
raised and paid out to satisfy these bonds,
and If that duty be not performed proper
proceedings in that behalf might be taken
10 enforce such duty; but this is Quite a
different liability from that sought to be
imposed by the complaint in this case, which
asks for general money judgment against
the city and county.
THE most that could be claimed under
the act as against the city and county is
that 1t is made the agent of the property
holders within the district described, and
II the eoDdh0lders for the levying, assess
ment and collection of these moneys and the
payment OF the same to such bOndholders.
Aside from this. section - of the act, and
made part OF the bonds, expressly exempts
the city and county from all claim for any
part Of the debt created by the bonds
authorized to he issued by this act,' and
makes such provision a contract between
said property-Owners and the holders Of said
bonds and said city and county"

RHODE ISLAND.


In little more than two weeks the first
Presidential gun Of the year will be fired.
The scene will be Rhode Island. the small
est State in the Union territorialiy but
larger politically than several other States.
Rhode Island does no.. of course, elect Pres
idential electors In April, but it elects
Legislature which will elect United States
Senator. This gives political character
to an election which might otherwise turn
upon local issues. In the last three cleo
tions the Democrats have had plurality In
that State. In 1891 it was but 1860. The
removal of the property qualification has
rather helped the Democrats. The Demo-
cratic State Convention. which met last
week, adopted platform especially suited
TO the manufacturers. demanding free raw
material but saying less about free manu-
featured goods. The presumption is. how
ever. that the manufacturers of Rhode
Island are too well informed to imagine that
their finished product will be protected long
after the raw material is admitted free.

PHILOSOPHY OF MUSIC.
An Interesting Talk on the Subject b,

AN 1Aik the Subject by
Forest Cheney.
Forest Cheney gave an instructive talk on
the Philosophy Of Music" in Kohler 81
Chase's Hall last night. 1t was subject.
he said. that was little understood by peo-
pie or the general run Of musicians Music
is language Of the conscience and a musi-
cal composition means as much or as little
as person may possess of the conscious
ness Of music.
The fundamental principle of musical
sound is the vibration Of nature, and with
an ear as near perfect as science could con
struct IL one could hear the vibration of liv-
ing plants. The musical theory is the ont
come of much thought and study. Some
think the scale grew naturally, but it is the
result OF deep mathematical calculation
The three greatest musicians, the speaker
said. were Bach, Beethoven and Wagner.
Mozart was genius, but Beethoven was a
IN nSical philosopher.
In conclusion the speaker alluded to that
class OF people who go to concerts with an
uncultivatcd ear and come away disap-
pointed with the result. 1t is not fair to
self or the musician, and people who want
to thoroughly enjoy music should study the
