A Paris, Maine, man has yoke of oxen
each of which has horn knocked down"
the effect of fghting-so that when they
are in the yoke the two horns on the inside
are down beside the oxen's faces while those
on the outside stand up in their natural
position As the oxen are well matched in
size and color, the symmetry of the pair is
increased by the dropping horns. A short
time since prominent member of the Ok
ford bar asked him what knocked down the
horns He replied soberly that tree fell
directly between the oxen. The lawyer
guilelessly accepted the explanation, but his
wife, who was present, gave the joke away
BY asking. ..What became of the yoke?'

Lieutenant III. II. McIntosh VIII Prob

Lieutenant III. z. Mcintosh, L. ). N,
with his wife and family returned from
Yokohama on the Belgic yesterday. He has
been pronounced color-blind and will pro-
coed to Washington for a confirmatory ex-
animation. II the opinion OF the surgeons
of Japan is approved. Lieutenant McIn-
tosh will be placed on the retired list
lie has been % years in the service and is
well and favorably known In this city. He
was formerly in the photographic Office

Intosh, paying-ieller OF the First National
Bank.
About year ago he Joined the United
States steamer Marion at the Japan station,
and d few weeks ago was transferred to the
Alliance, becoming navigating officer of the
latter ship. Upon her first trip thereafter,
she ran aground outside the Yokohama
breakwateT, and a result of inquiries in
stituted regarding the occurrence, the fact
OF Lieutenant McIntosh's color-blindness
was developed.
1t was incidentally discovered that the
grounding of the Alliance, which was at
tended with no serious consequences. was
not the result of any defect in the eyes Of
her navigator. Lieutenant MclntoSh and
all the other officers on board were unfa-

iightships were improperly placed on the
chart and two buoys we're not shown at all.
There WAS no reflection OF any character
upon the skill or vigilance OF the navigator.

PACIFIC MAILS MISTAKE.
A SaIaiary Lessen in VeSsel-BHiIding
Abroad.
THE STORY OF THE STEAMSHIP CHINA.
An Audatisus Venture, Considering What the Com
pany Owes to the American
!, People.

Maritime experts are talking about the
Pacific Mail steamer China and the various
reports regarding her. She was built oon
the Clyde, and she cannot therefore draw
subsidy from the American Government for
carrying the mails.
The history of the China is the history of
big mistake. o5o
She has been failure in every sense of
the word An American steamer of0her
tonnage would have been built on better
lines, would run faster with less coal and
would have paid the Pacific Mail Company
well
Why, then. was not the China built in
America?
Simply to save few thousand dollars on
the first cost The cost of the steamer was
S550.000. She would have cost 90 per cent
more if built In America. but she would
have proved cheaper in the end, as she
would not have burned such enormous
quantities OF coal in order to get up a fair
rate of speed. She only was fast when
under heavy draUght and the oyerplus OF
coal she consumes VIII in few wears more
than make up the difference in the cost
between an American aud an English
steamer. -
Why shonld the Pacific Mail Company
have gone to Great Britain 10 order its
steamer?
What other company owes more to Amer
lea than il does?
1t is heavily subsidized by our Go vern-
ment and has made all its money in Aner-e
can trade.
Ii has been encouraged in every way by
our people.
Its leading stockholders have made mil
lions out of American traffic. oa
And 1T takes cur money and spends 1t In
L ngiand to build inferior steamers.
This Is an outrageous proceeding, viewed
in the light OF ordinary reciprocal relations.
See what our workmen have lost.
The cost oil building steel screw steamer
taking the pig metal as basis. IS 81 per
cent in the labor. II one goes stills further
Ito the mines from (which the metal is
taken-othe labor percentage Is 90. So it is
seen the cost OF labor els more than nine
tenths the cost of the whole steamer.
Why did not the Pacific Mail Company
spend Its half million dollars in this coun-
try?
Because il Is Indifferent to American in
terests. 1t has shown that in a hundred
ways, and this is one of them,
There is rumOr in circulation that the
Mail Company will try to lobby.through
Congress some special legislation by which
it can sail the China under the 4 merican
flag. Ii would do so in a minute If il were
an easy matter. But special legislation of
that sort has been run through Congress
before, and the people have made a stir
about IL. Congress is awake on that point.
So 1t Is not likely that anything can be done
by the Mail Company in that way.
Yes. truly. the story of the China-all
things considered-is the story of mistake.

THOMPSON'S DENIAL.
He Defies His Accusers, but Will Prob
ably Resign His Position.

He Defies His Accusers, but Will Prob
ably Resign His Position.
Secretary Thomas ii. Thompson of the
California Worlds Fair Commission re-
turned from Sacramento last night. When
seen at the Lick he denied emphatically
that he had drawn any salary as secretary
during the period when he held that office
as well as a commissioBership. He also
stated that he had drawn money for ex-
penses in addition To that paid other Com
missioners on only Two occasions, when he
went to Chicago Oh December and when
he went TO organize the Northern Counties
Worlds Fair Association. The first ex-
pense bill amounted to S236 and the second
to 81 60.
He declined to say whether or not he
that there were several things he had to
do before he got THROUGH with this bust
ness" He did not explain his meaning,
but his words were construed as declara-
ton OF war against the combination which
is op, osing him, and an announcement that
he proposed TO tell the true reason for the
opposition which has been manifested.
The genera! impression in political and
Worlds FAIR circles is that captain Thomp-
son will resign before he is thrown cut !"
He seems TO realize that it Is useless to con-
tend against the combination against him,
cerned. bat he does not want to lay down
his position under a cloEd
Before he, resigned his commisSionership
lie was shrewd enough TO procure from his
colleagues written pledge that he would
be the appointed secretary. The resigna-
ton and pledge were sent to the Governor
under one cover. 1t is not probable that
there will be any attempt TO enforce the
continued fulfillment Of the pledge.
There has been much discussion regard
ing Secretary Thompson's successor in view
Of his probable resignation. Three names
are mentioned for the place, VIZ: Major
Ben Truman. the Southern Paeific'S agent
in Chicago, John Markley of Sonoma, and
John Craig. assistant secretary Of the CO m
mission. Each has supporters on the board.
but as the railroad influe nee is all-p0werful
with all the Commissioners, with possibly
two exceptions, it is thought that Truman
chances are brightest. Craig stands we'll,
because OF his thorough acquaintance with
the work and his business capacity. Mark
ley's friends urge his appointment because
he IS prominent Democrat ana Is well
acquainted with the State

The Injury to Mann.

: James A. Mann, who a few days since
was injured at a quarry at the foot Of Lom-
bard street, has been removed from the
Receiving Hospital to his home. 437 Minna
street. He is in precarious condition. The
manner in which Mann was wounded is
somewhat different from the accounts pub
lished on the morning after the accident.
Mann was foreman of a gang of iaborers,
and at the time of the accident was distant
800 feet from the point where a spriDging
blast had been set off, Aquabtity Of powder
had been poured into creyice with the
intention of springing some loose rock and
ii was tamped with earth. Instead of pro-
ducing the desired effect a quantity OF small
rocks was thrown into the air and one of
these struck Mann in the head, fracturing
the skull. The unfortunate man is native
Of St. Johns. New Brunswick, 81 years of
age and married, but has no children, as
previously stated. His mother arrived here
yesterday from Mendocino City.

THEY CAN WIN At HOME.
The Colonies Take Another Game
From Harris.
AZ Exciting Contest Which the Tailenders
Captured by One Tally = San Jose
Again Victorious.

Two Texas Leaguers, one bunt. base on
balls, two clean singles and couple of sac
TifieeS, all in one Inning, produced another
victory for Colonel T. Prophet Robinson,
so called because he is without honor in his
own land. No one goes to see him, be it
win or lose.
Playing on their own preserves seems to
inspire the eTratic Colonies with a degree
of confidence that enables them to win at
home. They played yesterday like men
trying 10 forget the past, and dowued the
locals by score Of 3 to 4.
There was nothing sensational on either
side, but the game was close and exciting
from first TO last. All the young men got
in and played as IL they had turned over
new leaf or the colonel had given them a
turning over Mr.. Hutchinson felt like q
new man, and got everything he went
after. Whitehead played brilliant game
at short and the entire team pulled to-
gether much better than 10 the late faseo
at Haight street a smaller crowd than
usual was in attendance,
Oakland won through the efforts of their
Mr. German and bunch of hits in the
third inning On this occasion they piled
up five runs, but, even with this kind of a
start, they had narrow escape at the wind
up. Hoffman was a little out of gear and

ball. one after another. until five of them
crossed the plate. Not another run did
they get after the third, and but four scat
teTiDg hits.
CARROLL CAUGHT MAPPING.
German had splendid control, and pitched
like winner or man with hope of
future reward. The locals got three solid
cracks at hin In the first, scoring one run
In the fourth they touched Lester up for a
couple of hits. but nice fielding headed off
taliies. Ii the fifth Whitehead's miss of a
hard chance and couple Of hits scored two
of the Frisco men. From this on till the
last the contest was full of ginger, Frisco
scoring one run In the ninth, when Hanley
retired the side with gronnder to German.
There were two men on bases at this
critical time and hit would have won the
game, but Bl0ckers was not equal to the oe-
ca5ion.
In Oakland's half of the ninth they filed
the circnit and then failed to score. VIII
son was on third and Carroll at second
when Bushman sent fly to right. Wilson
could have scored on the throw but was lay
ing too far off the bag. Carroll took his
catcher TO task for bis carelessness, and
while he was speaking of the matter little
Sweeney sneaked in from center and caught
the captain mapping off the bag.
Hutchinson more than redeemed himself
in left field and Osbourne handled himself
much better than on the Haight-street dia-
mond, where the wind bothers new men.
His timely hit scored the first two runs for
Oakland. Germani is keeping up his reputa-
tion batter and drove in two of the
runs himself.
Frisco and Oakland play this afternoon

presence of the disease in California, he
cited the recent case in Marysville, where a
man bitten by skunk had died of fully

case on record. He advocated the mnz-

HETHERINGTON's HONOR.

The Lieutenant Ia Acquitted and Con-
dones His Wife's Ofeuse.
Lieutenant and Mrs. j. H. Hetherington,
who. have acquired such sudden notoriety in
Yokohama, were expected to arrive from
Japan yesterday. but they did not appear.
1t was learned that the naval officer at the
conclusion OF the trial procured two months
leave OF absence and departed at o nee for
Toxic. accompanied by his wife. against
whom he apparently entertalns no feeling
but that Of devoted attachment
AT the trial letters passed between Robin
son and Mrs. Hetherington were shown,
plainly indicating that the affection between
the pair bad been anything but platonic.
Hetherington seems 10 be in peculiar po-
Siti0n. Ii his wife was inn ocent the shoot
ing of Robinson was murder. while if the
Engiishman's death was retribution for
tile betrayal of married woman, her hus-
bands eondOnation of her offense is hardly
in keeping with the ideas Of honor which
prompted the killing uf Robinson.
Lieutenant II. T.. Mcintosh, formerly of
the Marion and larterly of the Alliance.
held an opposite view yesterday. He stated
that much evidence, which would have vim
dicated Mrs. HetberiDgton in great meas
ure. although showing the sinister purpose
because it would reveal number of grim
ming skeletons locked up In the closets of
many residents in Yokohama. He added
that some important witnesses in the case
were globe-trotters, who had left Yoko-
hama aud who could not be found TO be-
subpenaed
"The officers of the United States ships
made mp a purse to defray the expenses of
the trial." continued Lieutenant Mcintosh,
'but Attorney TIson would accept no fee
for defending Hetherington. As q demon
stration Of the general sympathy with him.
25O Of the most prominent people Of the
place waited at the door OF the courtroom
with carriage, in which they desired to
draw Hesherington about town, with trans
parencies having such words as The de-
fender OF the home,' and similar mottos.

licity of this ovation. He IL broken down

who Knows Joseph Ford

Mrs. Isabella Green of Denver, Colo, has
written letter to the Society of California
Pioneers asking for information about J0-
seph Ford. her father. He started across
the plains In 1913 ia charge of wagon
train with Captain Daniels. He was a
veteran of the Seminole and Mexican wars.
While crossing the plains the party was
attacked by Indians, and Ford was one of
the very few who escaped. After a great
deal of hardship ne reached California and
struck out for the mines. where he remained
for some time, and went to San Francisco,
where ne was taken sick and went to a
hospital kept by Spanish priests. From
there he wrote home. saying he was i'm
proving. and that was the last his family
heard fr0m him
