be binding on both parties.
Mr., Milligan moved the adoption oil
the resolution,
Mr.. Cruise said lie had a resolution
already prepared, somewhat similar to
Mr.. Robertson's.
Mr.. MilIigan said he would withdraw
for the present his motion for the
adoption Of the other.
Mr.. Cruise then read his resolution,
which was similar to Mr., Robertson's,
excepting that the two arbitrator were
TO select the third from four persons
named, Bishop Kahn, Rev. d, A. Gun.
ningham, Judge Joseph r. PAUL and
Judge Thayer Melvin.
Mr.. Milligan thought RpDertsOn's res
olution tho proper one aud again moved
its adoption.
The Chair-"Alr, Robertson's resolu.
ton is before you, Are there any re-
marks?"
Mr.. Gruse-"Before preparing my
resolution consulted our laws on the
subject, and find the city has no direct
control in the matter OF a settlement,
| believe, however, that all differences
between capital and labor should be
settled by disinterested arbitration, and
II could, would have such laws made.
Parties that refuse arbitration generally
have a pretty bad case. Business in
the city is suffering on account OF this
strike, as persons from distant parts OF
the city can't come to the city, at least
not regularly. l think the latter part
OF my resolution should be favorably
considered"
Mr., Milligan objected, saying only one
Of the four persons named was accepta-
BILE to him.
Mr., Robertson's resolution was then
passed unanimously.
The resolutions OF respect to the
memory Of ex-Mayor A. J. Sweeney,

COOK CAPTURED.
The Defaulting Police Court Clerk In
the Tolls

Chief Crowley received a dispatch from
Astoria. Or, yesterday afternoon notifying
him that Joseph b. Cook, the defaulting
clerk of Police Court l, had been arrested
there.
Three days ago the Chief got dispatch
from Chief Longberry of Astoria asking if
he wanted Cook and-to send description.
This was done, with the result that Cock
was arrested.
1t will be remembered that Cook about
three months ago disappeared, but as he
had been in the habit of drinking heavily ii
was thought that lie might be INDUCING in
a prolonged drunk.
Suspicion was aroused when he did not
make his appearance in two or three days,
and it was found that he had run down the
combination Of bis safe. the door Of which
had to be forced open. Nothing was found
inside except a tw0-cent piece.
An investigation showed that Cook had
defaulted with over $1,000 in bail money
and fines.
1t was subsequently ascertained that he
had left on sailing vessel for Honolulu, and
by the following steamers the necessary
papers were forwarded for his arrest and
extradition. He was arrested there. but
the courts decided that he could not be ex.
tradited and he was set at liberty.
He came back to this city in the Mariposa
about six weeks ago, but managed 10 elude
the vigilance of the police and make his
escape again.
Captain Lees. in speaking to CALL re-
porter yesterday, said: I'VE have learned
how Cook succeeded in escaping when he
returned from Honolulu.
when he got off the steamer he hid
amcng the freight on the wharf till some
friend drove down in a hack and took him
away. The hack was driven around Steuart
street and Market street till the Sacramento
boat WIS on the point Of leaving. when Cook
jumped on board.
'He left the boat at Rio Vista, as he had
sense enough not TO go on to Sacramen TO,
where he would be known, aud made his
way to Davisyille, where he caught the
Oregon train"

TO REMAIN AWAY.
Professor Barnard of the Lick Obser-
yatory Will Probably Resign.

There is report among local scientists to
the effect that Professor Barnard, the noted
astronomer. will retire from the Lick OBJ
seTvatory
A few weeks ago Professor and Mrs.
Barnard left for Chicago with the expecta-
ton of being away for six months. the Re-
gents Of the State University having
granted him vacation for that period with
full salary.
Professor Barnard expects to go to
Europe very soon in order TO visit the many
observatories on that continent, and on his
return he will probably resume his former
duties at Mount Hamilton.
An intimate friend of the astronomer said
yesterday that If Professor Barnard did re-
turn to this coast 1t would not be to stay and
that he would resign. as Professor Holden,
director of the Lick Observatory, and
Professor Barnard are not in accord, there
by making it very unpleasant for the latter.
Although this is one reason for Mr. Bar
nard'S probable resignation, it is under
stood that he is wanted i'll Chicago to take
charge Of the telescope which is being con-
strucied for the University of Illinois.
Professor Barnard has a worldwide
reputation as tar-fnder. He came from
the Vanderbilt College Observatory at
Nashville. Tenn, and since his arrival in
California has perfected himself in stellar
photography. He succeeded in picking up
the tiny moon that for centuries has been
revolving around Jupiter without other
astronomers guessing its presence.
