The point for the people to bear in mind
is this: Twenty-Five years ago the City
Councils did the bidding of the Southern
Pacific Company. Now the City Council
stands by the people. If Oakland had
elected the right kind of men along in the
sixties they would not have ATTEMPTED to
confer upon an individual or corporation

principles laid down by the United States

has interests in the preservation of water

ANXIOUS TO TEST 1T.
Trying to Get Judicial Action on the
Geary Act.

Geary Act.
Denis Kearney has found number of
difficulties in the way in his anti Chinese
efforts, and not the least was that which he
encountered yesterday morning, when, ac-
companied by Attorney Fox. he applied
to Judge McKenna Of the United States
Circuit Court for the issue of warrants for
the arrest of FIVE Chinese in order to ascer-
tain if the Geary act is TO De enforced.
This difficulty was in the nature of a
very much crowded calendar with which
the Judge has to contend, and he so in.
formed Kearney.
Some time ago ext United States District
Attorney John L. Carey made application
for papers for the arrest of a Sacrame nto
Chinese, but this application is still pend
ing. owing to the crowded condition of the
calendar.
AS this application takes precedence,
Kearney and his lawyer concluded 10 con-
suit Mr.. Carey before taking further legal
stems.
The four Chinese whom Kearney pro-
poses to have arrested are employed in the
shot works corner of First and Howard
streets. and the grounds for the onplaint
against them are to be that they have failed
to comply with the requirement of the law
with respect to registration. II was deter
mined, however, to first ascertain for a
certainty whether the names of the
Chinese were on the list of Internal Reve-
nue. Collector Quinn, so it was concluded
TO carefully consult the register.

pears 1t has real significance in permitting
of coaling and refttiug in neutrais ports
This would have been serviceable tn
France inasmuch as she Is almost uesti-
tute of coallng stations IN the East. But
if oil could safely take the place OF coal
stations would cease to be of much value.
Instead of calling al port to take in fuel
oiI-tank steamers could rendezvous at any
agreed spot at sea, and oil could be pumped
and piped .from the cargo to the war YES
SETS reservoirs. The process is easy
enough. but the danger of oil bars the
way. The difficulties must be overcome.
1t will never do to store oil for fuel as
it is. The explosions which proceed from
the volatile mixtures given off in oil-tanks
are a dreadful warning. But if oil is rem
dered non-explosive by an absorbent or
some adullerant ingredient which prevents
evaporation and does not very seriously
interfere with combustion the difficulty
vanishes. A solid absorbent, such as
kiesselguhr in soaking up nitro glycerine
to constitute dynamite. is Objectionable.
There would be danger Of emulation. and
there is also the physical Obstacle of pass
ing solid fuel from one vessel to another.
Can the chemist provide a liquid mixture
which will abate the tendency to volatility
and raise the explosive point, while not in
any acknowledges reducing the heating
properties? The adulterant would re-
qulre to be cheap as well as effective.
Some clever man will solve this problem,
and then fuel supply will undergo reVo-

EASTERN ALLIES.

II is astonishing how Eastern Journals
OF high character can be induced to see
important propositions through the spec
tacles Of large corporations. The Boston
Herald is now trying to show that the
best thing the Government can do is to
give the Union and Central Pacific railroad
companies a hundred years in which to
pay their debt to the Government The
Herald says:
IL goes without the saying that neither of
these companies can pay their obligations, aud
foreclosure by the United States would sim
ply throw the properties into the hands OF the
bondholders. On the other side, it is possible
for the Government TO get back what it has
advanced by granting an extension of the debt,
wllh accrued deficiency, at a low rate OF in.
terest.
The companies which nominally own
these roads have diverted more than
enough of the earnings of the roads into
their private ownership to pay their debt.
They might have paid the interest as it be-
came due if they had not preferred to alb
sorb the money for their own benefit. 1t
was through this appropriation of the
profits of construction and operation that
the four owners of the Central Pacific
gained place among the twenty richest
men In the country. 1t is a new theory
that man or corporation mayo and
enjoy millions of money and refuse to pay
honest debts. Ii the companies had m ade
no large profit in constructing and operating
the road there would be less objection to
an arrangement by which their debt to the
Government would be made payable three
generations hence.

THOSE JUNE SALARIES.
How Contractor Goldberg Obtained
His Money on Warrants.

Ills Money on warrants.
The case OF Assistant Registrar Lewis
against Treasurer Widber to compel that
official to audit his June salary will come
up before the Supreme Court to-day.
Il is said that the attorneys for Lewis
will argue that the Supreme Court has de-
cided that election demands must be paid
in preference to all others. and that Lewis
beng an election officer must be paid.
Should a favorable decision be secured on
this point. the case will be used as test
case for all the other salary demands for
June, and last years debts will be paid
out Of this years funds.
Treasurer Widber had an experience
with Contractor Goldberg the other day.
Goldberg had $500 worth of claims for
supplying rations to prisoners. These de-
mands were audited and properly regis
tered by the Treasurer. and were 60 be
paid when any money came in from DE-
linquent taxes for last year. Gold berg
did not think his demands would be

ment. the city confessing judgment.
w hen he went 20 the Ireasurer's Office
with his judgment warrants, he found that
the registered numbers of two of his origi-
nal demands had been reached. He pre-
senteu his judgment warrants for the
money. but tne Treasurer refused to pay
them, as there were two demands for the
same amount. So Goldberg went back to
court and had the two demands. repre-
SentinC several thousand dollars, stricken
off his judgment. He then presented his
original demand and secured his money.

WHO OWNS THE COAT?

made it valuable to the Fire Marshal. On

The fire was evidently that of an incen.
diary. 1t was discovered that an old coat
had been placed against the wooden parti-
ton of the saloon and ignited. The fire
would easily have spread if It had not been
extinguished. A Skylight reaching from
the market to the saloon had been forced
and the ineendiary had entered the saloon
through that opening The question now
is. Who owns the coat? In the pocket of
the coat which is of dark blue material
were fund two papers. These contain
two names OF people in Oakland with
whom certain business transactions were
had. and the Fire Marshal thinks he has a
