No Trade for Richardson.

A New York dispatch says: 1T was announced
in Brooklyn this afternoon that Danny Richard
son had been signed by Manager Byrnes of the
Brooklyn club to play second base in place Of
Ward. who goes TO New York. Richardson was
released by Washington"
This is all wrong. 4 letter from Vice Presi-
dent Elliott of the Washington ball club says
that nothing has been settled regarding players
and that nothing will be done until after the
league meeting on March Z.
Another dispatch says that Brooklyn is to
trade Joyce for Richardson. 1t is pretty well
settled that McPhee is to go to Brooklyn, con-
sequently Richardson will remain here until
some other deal is arranged. On the other
hand the New York Times, generally reliable
in base ball matters, says that Joyce has been
released by Brooklyn and will play in WASH
inCton.

Mr. George Douglass, the Speaker of the
Republican House in Kansas.

Mr.. George Douglass, the Speaker of the
Republican House in Kansas.
Mr.. George Douglass, who has become so
prominent Of late as the republican speaker Of
the Kansas legislature, is the son of Commits
sioner John W. Douglass of this city. He was
born in Erie. n. Y, about thirty-six years ago
and is lawyer by profession, having pursued q
law course in one of the Washington institu-
tons He WAS admitted to the bar in this city
and practiced before the local courts and the
Court of Claims.
When Commissioner Douglass came to Wash
ington to live his son came with him and soon
afterward began reading for the bar. Later he
made a trip to Europe captains clerk on
board the L. S. S. Guerrero with Admiral
Stevens. On his return to this city he COM
pleted his law course and entered upon the
practice of his profession. While here Mr..
Douglass was active in re-establishing and sup
porting the Humane Society, which had dwin-
died after Mr.. Gatchell left the city. About six
years ago he removed to Kansas, where he has
resided ever since. This is his second term in
the legislature. During his first he was made
chairman of the Judiciary committee, and on

lass wife and child are now in this city with the
Commissioners family. and they are in con-
slant communication with him.
Throughout the whole contest Mr.. Douglass
has expressed the greatest confidence as to the
ultimate success of the republican side in the
fight. In one of his letters he has stated that
he had been offered the services Of a whole
army of armed men If he wished them, but that
he preferred TO settle the difficulty by lawful
means. as he was satisfied that an appeal to a
judicial decision in the matter would show be-
yond all doubt the justice of their claims and
the entire propriety of their position.

PAYMENT STOPPED
Laguna Survey Demand
Is Attacked.
An Investigation to Be Made of the
Bills of the California Con-
struction Company.

The Board Of Supervisors at It's session
yesterday passed resolution directing the
City and County Treasurer not to pay
the S1O,S56 warrant which was recently
drawn by the Finance Committee for
winding up the affairs of the Laguna sur
yey. An account of the manner in which
the Finance Committee discovered it had
been imposed upon was published 10 THE
CALL several days ago. Chairman James
of the committee stated that he had little
hope of getting the warrant back, and
thought the best thing that could be done
was to stop payment. A full invesLiga-
ton of the matter will be made by the
Finance Committee on next Saturday.
Supervisor Dundon introduced a resolu-
ton providing that thirty days additional
leave of absence from the State be given
School Director c. G. Clinton from the
expiration of his former leave Of absence.
The resolution was passed at the eQuest
of friends of DR.. Clinton. but it will n OF
do any good, as he will have to be re-
appointed to take his seat.
The law reads: Section APO OF Of the
Political Code-A county officer shall in
no case absent himself from tie State for
period of more than sixty days, and for
no period whatever without the consent of
the Board of Supervisors"
The Health and Police Committee recon-
mended that the proposal to establish a
branch Receiving Hospital on the water
front be abandoned, as there are at present
no funds available for the establishment
of the same. The recommendation was
adopted.
The resolution providing that the Board
of Supervisors resolve itself into commit
tee of the whole in order TO consider the
subject of gas rates was indefinitely post
poned. The object of the resolution was
to take the matter of adjustment out of
the hands of the Street Lights Committee.
The order providing that hereafter all
minor females charged with offenses
against the law be confined in the Mag
dalen Asylum instead Of the branch
County Jail was finally passed.
The board laid over the authorization
for the payment of the monthly bill of the

THE BUSH-STREET TRACKS.
Mayor ElIert Is Served With an
Amended Complaint.

Mayor Ebert was served with an amended
complaint yesterday 10 the matter of tear
ing up tine Bush street Railroad tracks on
Saturday last. In the original complaint
the Mayor and Superintendent of Streets
were sued for damages personally. The
amended complaint filed yesterday does
not differ from the original except in one
particular, and that is that the officials
mentioned are sued in their official capac-
ity.
The injunction suit has been assigned to
Judge SeaweIl's court. and 1t will come up
some time during the week on the Mayors
motion TO dissolve the injunction.
The following message from the Mayor
was read at the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday, and took the usual
course:

MANUFACTURED EVIDENCE.
Three Officers Attempt to Railroad a
Man to Prison.

: About week ago officers Freel Purvls
and Mulender arrested Mike Martinelli. a
young italian. on Montgomery avenue.
and charged him with vagraney and car
ryfng concealed weapons. They afterward
attempted to connect him with highway
men WHO have been holding up Chinese
servants, but we're unsuccessful. Yester-
day Martinellrs case was called in Judge
Campbelps court, and the three officers
appeared as witnesses against him. The
vagrancy charge was dismissed, but when
the charge of carrying concealed weapons
was brought up the policemen produced a
lead sinker with a strong cord attached,
which, they claimed to have taken from
Maytinelli- The prisoner said the string
rad been attached since the sinker was
taken from him. and when asked by the
Judge tie officers admitted having put ON
the string, which made deadly slungshot

Collector Byington Is an old servant of

There is little bit OF unwritten history
about Collector Quinn's removal from
office. 1t seems that letter he wrote to
Commissioner Miller last August asking
that the restrictions placed upon the office
by the administration might be removed so
that be could proceed to enforce the law
against the unregistered Chinese must
have furnished sufficient provocation, for
only eight days after he mailed it he re-
ceived the telegram from acting Secretary
Hamlin, requesting his resignation. He
reported plainly the position of the Chinese
and the attitude of the people Of this
State toward them, but the administration
turned deaf ear, notwithstanding that it
was about that time the aBti-Chinese DEM
onstrations were made in Fresno, Bakers
field. Visalia. Los Angeles and other cen :
tiers of the State.
The Presidents order of removal to Mr.
Quinn is very peremptory and, quite in

STOPOVER TICKETS.
DIR. RObinson's Fight Against the
Southern Pacific.


A jury in Judge Slack's court is engaged
in hearing the case of DR.. w. II. Robinson
vs. the Southern Pacific Company, in which
the plaintiff sues for $4,000 damages
$4,000 for false Imprisonment and $4,000 for
an assault.
The doctor has long been fighting the
railroad company on the question of I'M
limited tickets on the local lines across the
bay. insisting that he had right to de-
mand them, enabling him to a stopover
anywhere on the line. On August s, 1891,
DR.. Robinson journeyed from San Fran
cisco 10 the Oakland mole, and on arrival
there he proceeded to the ticket-office and
demanded a stopover ticket. 1t was re-
fused him, and he thereupon attempted to
force his way through the gate. The at
tempt was unsuccessful. aud DR.. Robin
son was finally compelled to walk along
the track from the mole to the city of Oak
land. On that account he brought suit
against the company for damages.
In testimony 1t was shown that Dr.
Robinson, his son and three or four gentle
men, all residents of Alameda, had been in
the habit of carrying on this fight day after
day, but without success. DR.. Robinson,
however, admitted that on the day IN cues
ton no more than ordinary and necessary
violence was res0rted to by the gate
keeper, who alphabetically said that he
was ''only a servant and must do his
duty" and the Imprisonment complained
of was the almost voluntary detention of
DR.. Robinson in the corral" as tie
fenced Enclosure at the mole is called on
that ground.
Foshay Walker, representing the COM
pany. moved for a nonsnit, on the ground
that the allegations made in the complaint
had not been borne out by testimony.
Judge Hunt will pass upon the motion this
morning.

ANOTHER TRIAL.
More Pumps, Pontoons
and Possibilities.
The Busy Workers Have nade the
New York Alright Above
the Water Line.

To-day the City Of New York will be
pumped out again.
While the Southern Pacific has been
plugging up holes in the Mare Island ron
toons at West Oakland the Pacific Nail
Steamship Company has been filling in the
seams of the New York's decks at Poins
Bonita. The object OF the latter work is
to make the steamer alright above the
water line for the grand coup with the
ocean to-day.
Probabilities and possibilities Of saving
the City of New York and the chances of
success of the Mail Company's latest
efforts are still shrOuded in that hazy un-
certainty that has all along hung over the
vessel like midsummer fog.
1T is thought" that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company has promise Of sue

steamships, convey any great amount of

The steamship Umatilla brought down a
pump capable of sucking up twenty-five
tons of water minute. This has been
set into position ard is expected TO pump
the New York out, cargo and all. when the
proper time comes.
When asked what was being done on the

Mail Company stopped up both ears with
his fingers and ran into his sanctum. He
was waiting for the proper time to speak
Nevertheless. the ealkers have been at

ana verytbng is alright above decks.
The tug MiIlen Griffiths took gang of
men out to the wreck yesterday afternoon,
and if the pontoons are ready, if the pumps
are placed. and if Lieutenant Schwern can
arrange for the tugs to be present al the
promised time" the New Y ork will no
longer remain on the rocks.
The scheme is to pump again. Air will
be forced between decks and the steamer
will glide smoothly from the place where
providence has permitted her to remain
for several weeks into the drydock at
Hunters Point
1t is not expected that the pontoons will
be ready to be t0wed to the point by this
afternoon, but the pumps will be set to
work anyway.
