United States Senator Thomas-C. Power, Of
Montana, said when--in Chicago recently
that be stands by everything he bad ever
uttered against Justice Field, Of the United
States Supreme Court. He said he knew w.
rather a delicate matter to attack .
States Supreme Court Justice, but i rel
what / have said regarding Justice Field, for ~
believe he is altogether too favorable 20 cOrpO-
ration interests, aud 1 have decisions % his,
while he was Judge in California, in which he
goes out Of his way TO favor railroad corpora
tions. and these decisions applied 10 Montana
would affect our States interests injuriOusly.
Justice Field has been brought up in an atmos-
phere OF corporation influences ever since he
went West, when he was 20 years Of age. All
the influences surrounding him have been to-
ward corporations and I have information
which leads me 20 believe that he has inter-
ested himself in the selection Of several Judges
in the West
''The Irrigation Congresses and Conventions
held lately have been dominated aud run by
railroad attorneys and If they can get the con-
troll of the lands into the possession Of the
States, these States can be controlled By the
party in power. and the railroad will own the
party. Regarding the appointment Of a certain
Judge out West / know Justice Field was
Working for a certain candidate and wrote to
o. K Salisbury, Of Utah. saying that Field was
for the candidate and that therefore j was
against that candidate. Ina not alone in the
belief that Justice Field is q friend of the rail-
road corporations, but the people Of Montana,
aud among them the leading lawyers Of cur
State. believe as I do. There is no doubt big
effort will be made by the railroad interests to
segregate the arid lands. but i think we can
defeat the scheme and keep the lands in the
possession Of the Government and have the
Government do the irrigating. The railroads
control altogether too much Of the lands now,
but theig rapacity has no bounds
When these charges of Senator Power were
called to Justice Fields attention, be said Il
do not want to enter into a controversy. Ny
associates on the bench tell me not to notice
the statement, but you may say that it is .
falsehoOd that have asked for no mans ap-
poinment on the bench; that / don't know the
views Of any man who ls to be appointed, and
that don't care to know them, and that IL
matters not 10 me what they are.
THE only instance when j have spoken OF
a particular man for Judge was recently when
Senator Hoar Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee. came to me and asked what I knew
about Judge Beattie. OF idaho. told him that
he had been conducting court in San Francisco,
and so successfully that some lawyers had
spoken in favor OF his nomination to the bench
that is all. Occasionally j am asked what /
think Of such and such q man for Judge. re-
ply, as / would reply to you were you to ask
me, think him good man or an unit
man. / recall that / was asked what thought

ance toward weaker powers, will extend its
strong and adequate protection TO it5 citizens

made the victims Of wautOnness and cruelty in
resentment, not of their personal misconduct,
but Of the official acts Of their Government.
Upon information received that Patrick
Shields an lrishman and probably a British
subject but at the time a fireman of the Ameri-
can steamer keweenaw, in the harbOr Of Vail
paraisO for repairs, had been subjected TO per-
sonal injuries in that city, largely by the
police directed the Attorney General to cause
the evidence Of the officers and crew of that
vessel to DO taken upon its arrival in San Fran
cisco, and that testimony is also herewith
transmitted. The brutality and even savagery
of the treatment Of this poor man by the Chill
can police would be incredible If the evidence
Of Shields was not supported by other direct
testimony and by the distressing condition of
the man himself when he was finally able to
reach his vessel. The Captain of the vessel
says:
He came back wreck black from his neck to
his hips from beating; weak and stupid, and is
still in kind OF para yzed condition. and has never
been able To do duty since.
CLAIM FOR PREPARATION
has been made in behalf of this man, for while
he was not a citizen of the United States the
doctrine long held by u.s. as expressed in the
consular regulations, is: The principles which
are maintained by this Government in regard

/ relief, Of seamen are we'll settled. IL is held

last manifestation of God. If men turn
away from God with scorn and hardness of

great danger of being in eternal sin.

A HIDDEN SLUNGSHOT.
1t Is Taken Up and Leads to the Arres

1t IL Taken Up and Leads to the Arrest
of Antoine Tromp.
A man giving the name of Ansone Tromp
was arrested early last evening by Police
man G. II. Graham and locked up at the
new City Hall station on a charge of car
ryng concealed weapon. The circum-
stances attending the arrest are OF such a
suspicious Iatnre that the prisoner will be
held pending an investigation of his former
record by the police.
One of the gardeners employed at the
Jefferson square was at work on the Golden
Gate avenue side, near Laguna street. yes
terday afternoon when his attention WAS
attracted by a number of chalk marks on
one of the wooden pianks of the sidewalk
running along the side of the park. He also
found that the board had been loosened from
its fastenngs and yielded readily when he
tried 10 lift il.
In small cavity dug between two stills
and carefully covered with piece of pa per
he found an improvsed slungshot 1t was
murderous-looking weapon and fully
capable OF killing any unfortunate struck
with it. it was made out of a long, narrow
buckskin bag, such as used BY country men
as purse for carrying coin. 1t was about
10 inches in length aud was filed with fine
birdshot up to four inches from the bottom,
the whole weighing about five pounds and
kept in place by cord tightly wound around
the end.
The gardener replaced the murderous-
looking implement and reported his fiud to
the police at the new City Hall station.
Policeman Graham was detailed on the
case and secreted himself behind a clump
of bushes on the edge Of the park near the
spot to catch the owner. The officer had
not long to wait. and about o'clock noticed
a man looking suspiciously about him and
approach the place where the suDgshot lay
concealed. He quickly lifted the loose
board and picked up the weapon, which he
thrust into his pocket and walked rapidly
down the street, when Graham stepped
from his hiding-place and placed him under
arrest.
at the station Tromp pretended to speak
English imperfectly. He stated that he
was waiter by occupation and worked
for a man named Stewart who keeps a
restaurant but didn't know where, and that
he had arrived in this city only three DAYS
ago from Del Monte. He failed to salts
factoriiy explain his suspicious actions or
the possession OF the slungshot to the off,
GERS and was locked up to await investi-
cation.
The prisoner is about % years of age and
a Hollander by birth, and claims to be a
stranger In this city.

II. Gaffeney had just taken possession Of
their new home. During the day their fur
niture and belongings had arrived.
Mr.. Gaffeney is the official interpreter for
the Federal Japanese Immigration Bureau.
When he entered the house Wednesday
evening strong Jdor of gas greeted him.
He went through the house looking for
the leak. The kitchen had not yet been
opened. He turned the knob, struck
match and pushed the door.
Then the explosion came. with the result
already recorded.
Subsequent investigation showed that
cap had been left off one OF the connections
with the gas pipe where the fixture was
missing and the gas fairly whistled out of
the opening.
Mr.. Gaffeney was very seriously burned
about the head and face and is now con-
fined to his bed
Immediately after the accident he was
taken TO Stanton's drugstore al Fifteenth
and Mission streets. where he was tended
by DR.. Ii. f. Stroud. From there ne was
conveyed TO the residence of his mother at
1911 Mission street.
The noise of the explosion and the jar it
occasiOned caused considerable excitement
in the neghborbood.
The flames In the kitchen were quickly
extinguished without the aid of the Fire De-
partment and the damage sustained to the
building will not reach above $780,
Most of the windOw-gaSs in the house
was broken, the skylight Of a connecting
room blown off and the door and window
frames badly wTenched and twisted
The gas company's employees who left the
cap off the connection are blamed for the
accident.

It was a novel experience. the midweek
Sabbath yesterday, and the first in all the
history of San Francisco,
Till Evangelist Mills came here San
Francisco was content that Sunday should
come but once week.
But the great revivalist changed that. as
he has changed many things. and for this
week, at least, there must perforce be two
Sabbaths.
True, the midweek Sabbath wasn't OBJ
served AS generally nor as vigorously as
Sunday usually is. Some of the big busi-
ness houses remained open and many of the
smaller stores did not close.
But for all that, even a stranger In the
city could have seen that something un-
usual was going on, and had he passed the
California Theater or the Mechanics Pa
vilion he would have been surprised to see
the great thr0ngs of worshipers passing in
and out.
Then, should the stranger have boarded

chief business th0roughfsre. he would have

Second the Master not only remembers
his unfaithful disciples, but takes especial

There were between 1000 and 5000 people
at both the afternoon and evening meetings
in the Mechanics Pavilion and large num-
bers expressed their desire to commence
leadiDga Christian life. The dscourses were
specially appropriate to the day. and were
delivered with great earnestness and power.
AT the afternoon meeting Mr.. Mills
preached from Isaiah, lix 10: ave stumble
at the MONDAY as in the night" The
words applied to all residents of Christian
land who are not openly confessed Chris
tlans; 10 those having the opportunity of
special Christian advantages without ac-
cepting Jesus; to those to whom God has
manifested his Loving kindness and gracious
ness without response; 10 those who are
cheTiShing secret hone in Christ without
openly acknowledging him; to nominal
secrated 10 the service of God. and to those
not yet Christians who are passing through
this time OF spiritual awakening.
Speaking or the latter MIR. Mills said the
surroundings were especially helpful. The
very atmosphere itself was pregnant with
spiritual power, prayers were filling even
the streets of the city. Ii was dangerous
