WATSON on THE RACK.
HE APPEARS. BEFORE THE DEMO
CRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
He Gives Lame Excuse for Employ In g
Republicans, but Manages to Get Rid
of Them with Three or
Four Exceptions.

The Democratic city central committee
met last evening, with J. Marion Brooks
in the chair, but the secretary appar-
emily neglected to inform any of the
members that opposed Wstson's admin
istration, for members who had not been
present for months were in attendance.
The meeting was an animated one. The
sdvisorv committee reported progress in
their work; that the mayor and Police
Commissioner Bosbyshell stood willing
to appoint Democrats exclusively when
their turn came to appoint, but that
Commissioner Bradish would not give
any satisfaction to the committee. and
in consequence he was not recognized as
feeling disposed to assiet the Democrats.
One member of the committee stated
he could get the affidavit OF certain
person who would state Commissioner
Bosbyshell voted for Tufts for mayor.
Both commissioners claim to be Demo-
Gratis on national politics, but state and
municipal affairs they are independent.
A Democratic member stated Wat
sons election was not due to his popu-
larity but to the unpopularity of his
opponent which caused smile and ac-
counted for Watson's employing Repub-
licans, especially D. D.. Morton, who
holds one of the most lucrative positions
within his gift, man who was dismissed
from the city service in 1889, and the
mayors message on November IL, 1888,
City records 27-520 scores the afore-
said Morton in not very complimentary
language.
A vote was taken as to indorsing the
''go as you please" superintendent of
streets after he made statement, only
bare quorum being present. Several
members took Mr.. Watson to task. His
answers we're evasive and unsatisfactory,
but. as be promised to get rid of objec-
tionable characters, they let him down
easy.
Other business of importance was
transacted, the committee adjourning
until the first Wednesday in June.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
JUDGE ROSS DECLINES TO GRANT
AN INJUNcrION.
Another Branch of the Fight Between
the Government and the South
ern Pacific Over the In
demnity Lands.

Judge Ross yesterday, in the United
States circuit court, denied motion for
an injunction in the case OF the United
States vs. The Southern Pacific company
in accordance with long opinion. The
case was one In connections with the re-
cent decision of the United States su-
preme court, by which certain portions
OF the land grant of the company were
decided to revert to the government.
The government brought suit to secure
an injunction preventing the cutting of
timber on the lands in question, and
Judge Ross declines to grant an injunc-
tion at present. In concluding his dis
cussion OF the case, he gays:
The court cannot know what the evil
dence may chow in regard to the allega-
tion that the Atlantic and Pacific com
pany never did definitely locate it's line
west of the Colorado river. II estab-
lished as alleged by the defendants it
may be that 1t would result that the
lands in controversy were never vested
In the Atlantic and Pacific company,
but did pass to the Southern Pacific
company under the grant to it, for, in
the late opinion of the supreme court
respecting these grants (146 u S., page
605), it ia said: The question is asked !:
Supposing the Atlantic and Pacific com
pany had never located it's line west Of
the Colorado river, would not these
lands have passed to the Southern Pa
cifc company under its grant? Very
likely that may be 60. The language OF
the Southern Pacific eompany's grant lie
broad enough to include all land along
its line, and If the grant to the Atlantic
and Pacific company had never taken
effect 1t may be that there ia nothing
which would interfere with the passage
pany.'"
sin view OF the issue raised by the
pleadings and of the facts alleged by
complainant and admitted by the de-
fendants, that there are outstanding
patents of the government purporting to
convey to the defendant company, large
portions OF the disputed premises, and
that under and by virtue of these pat
ents and the grant from congress the
defendant company has, for value re-
ceived, executed deeds of conveyance
and contracts OF sale to the individual
defendants for large part of said lands,
under which such defendants possess
and claim them in good faith and for
value paid therefor, do not think an
Injunction should be awarded in adj
vance OF hearing Of the cause on the
merits"

THE CLOSING SOCIAL.


The Unity Club Gives an Enjoyable EN-
tertainment.
The closing social of the Unity club
season was held at Unity church last
evening. The attendance was unusu-
ally large.
A pleasing feature of the entertain
ment was the Lutte quartette, composed
of Miss Edna Foy, first violin; Mics
Chancey Ferris, second violin; Miss
Dora James, viola; Miss Blanche Rog-
ers, cello.
The young ladies performed admirably
and were Justly applauded'

Ride in very charming and daehing
manner.
Miss Bernice Holmes sang It Was Not
to be So. She has a well modulated
contralto voice and sang very sweetly.
Miss Nora Foy recited Fra Fonti with
considerable dramatic ability.
Mrs. Nellie Morfort sang the "Messen-
ger Bird" She has sweet soprano
voice and sings like bird.
The gem of the evening was an imper-
sonation by Miss Naomi Alfrey. The
recitation wae "The Set of Torquise," in
which she impersonated three charec-
terH in realistic manner. She has
fine, flexible voice, well under cantrol,
strong and resonant and at all times
pleasing. She has fine conception of
character acting, and displayed drsmotic
talent of a high order. Her impersona-
tion was enthusiastically received by the
audience.
The Lutte quartette gave another num-
Der, after which President DobinHon an
nouncedBthat the present social closed
the season, and that extensive arrange
ments were being made for another
conrse of lectures and entertainments
for the next season. An ice cream social

bury its dead, and begin life all over

In appearance Fielden is strong and
healthy, and looks younger than his 40
years. He talks fuently, although In a
subdued manner, and his doctrines have
been considerably modified.
II still hold the same ideas of right and
wrong" he said. but as to the carrying
out of the principles, my views have
changed some. The futility Of some of our
plans has appeared to me- and have be-
come more conservative"
General M. NJ. Trumbull expressed his
delight with the conduct OF the governor,
and especially with the reasons given for
1T, as they showed it was not an act Of
clemency, but one of strict right and JUS
tice. He had not expected pardon for
the condemned men at this time and
thought tho governors act would subject
him to great deal of severe criticism and
antagonism, for, while great change had
taken place in opinion, that change was
largely confined to the large towns. All
lovers of Justice should stand by the gov
ernor at this time and commend him for
his courageous act.
A meeting Of the Amnesty association,
which labored so long and SO earnestly for
the freeing of Fielden, Schwab and Neebe,
will be held as soon as the members can
be called together. The object of their

night. The building is supposed to be
guarded every night by the guards, but
they have failed to- find the leak and
the little side door through which the
articles have been stolen with persist
ence worthy of a better cause. A force of
colored janitors is supposed to be at work
sweeping the corridors and offices during

WASHINGTON, June 2s-It is ascertained

our friendly relations with the kingdom
of Italy are not likely to be ruptured
by the mistake of New York Judge in
attempting to levy upon funds in the
hands of the Italian consul general in New
York for the satisfaction o t 5000 coal bill
The failure of the judge to acquaint him
self with the fact that foreign consuls are
not civilly liable to his jurisdiction will
not become an international affair. The
department officials have no doubt that
Judge Fitzsimmons' order will be promptly
vacated, and that "A satisfactory explana-
