things
The melancholy smile vanished when
the name of Dick Mcdonald was brought
into the conversation.
ut must be a bitter thought to Dick Nc
Donald as be sits in his dreary cell in the
County Jail" said Swain, ITO reflect upon
the fact that while he is thus fastened in
by strong bolts and bars, the man whom he
sent to prison few years ago, and whose
conviction cost him many thousands OF
dollars. is now not only free man. but is
enjoying the confidence and respect of the
same public that condemns him as rogue
and a swndler. Yet such is the incontrO-
veTtible fact.
81 don't think the bank wrecker will
find many admirers In San Quentin. He is
even more heartily desDised there than by
the people OF San Francisco"
This latter sentence was uttered la a
tone of grim satisfaction, and showed
more than anything else The feeling Of the
man Just liberated.
Dick Mcdonald had heard of the return
of Swain when a reporter for The CALL
saw him at the County Jail. 1t did not
seem TO interest him particularly. and he
evinced no interest as 10 the liberated
mans intentions or whereabouts.
Il really cannot see," he said, in answer
TO a question. that Swain can take any
interest in me one way or the other; aud l
don't believe be does. either.
II don't know what statements he or
anybody else may have made regarding
my wearing any diamonds of his. He
was arrested In 1888 at COlfax while about
10 leave the State. his trunk was searched
and a number of diamonds and some
money taken from it by the officer. These
were turned over by the officer to the
property clerk and held until Swain was
examined. The examination was in Judge
HOrnblower's court, aud he was held.
The diamonds were afterward attached
by several firms in this city for debts of
Clara Belle Mcdonald and sold to satisfy
the judgments. That is all l know about
them. From the time they were taken by
the officer at Colfax they were never in
my possession for a single instant"

THE STANFORD SUIT.
Southern Pacific Officials Say It
Does Not Amount to Much.

Does Not Amount to Much.
The Southern Pacific officials seem TO think
that the suit of the Government against the
Stanford estate. mention of which was made in
the columns Of THE CALL on Monday, will not
prove of very great Importance.
Tax Agent E. Black Ryan yesterday sprung
about the only new point in the case which has
come TO the surface since the first announce
ment OF the suit was made. He called atten-
tiOn TO the fact that the city and county of San
FranciscO,lthe city of Sacramento. and Placer
and several other counties were subscribers to
the stock OF the Central Pacific road when iC
was built. If this is true, Mr. RYAN argues and
the estate OF Leland Stanford should be held
liable, why would not action hold against the
counties and cities mentioned?
j. j. Haley. who was present at the time
Mr.. Ryan was speaking, said that the latter
was mistaken as TO the city and county OF San
Francisco being a stakeholder. It was true
that 100000 OF the siOck was subscribed for,
but this action was afterward repudiated, be
says. and compromise af1ected by the pay
ment OF 100000. Sacramento and Placer
counties did take some stock which they subse-
quently red emed IN its full value
at is claimed in Washington that the bonds
were not sold, but were retained in the possas-
sion of the builders of the road" said HALEY
line fact IS the bonds were sold and MANY of
them as low as 81 cents to So cents on the dol
lar. a number OF Instances occurred in which
these bonds were paid for IN greenbacks, which
l nave seen sell as low as 3512 cents on the
dollar in those days"
The grass was short in those days" put in
Ryan, "and the builders OF the road had to
have money. The great difficulty they encoun-
tered was that they paid for everything on a
gOld OASIS While everything they sold was paid
for on currency basis. To Illustrate how much
was deprecated in those days 1
might state single instance wherein l paid
about $1,000 In greenbacks in 1868 for freight
on wagon load of stuff from WadswOTth TO
Ogden. which would have been paid for with
about $1,000 In gold"

DEPEW AT SMITH COLLEGE.
Young Ladies Listen to an Interesting Story
OF His Travels.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Feb. 23.-An audi
enes that completely filled Smith college
chapel listened last evening to Chauncey
M. Depew, who told the young ladies and
their invited guests of the impression
made upon him by his recent trip to Italy.
The chapel was filled wherever IL was pos
sible TO put human body. The speaker
and the invited guests were the recipients
of o tremendous outburst Of applause.
DIR. Depew contrasted the railway SER
vice of the continent TO that of our own
country, to the latter's glorification, gave
glimpses of Florence and Genoa, told
funny stories Of his experiences with
Roman guides, visited the Colosseum and
Catacombs. traversed the Appian Way,
from which he drew true lessons Of his
tory, painted the marvellous city Of
Pompeii In glowing word-pictures, paid
eloquent tributes To Cicero Desmosthenes,
Michael Angelo and Raphael, and gave
his hearers private audience with the
pope.
This was by far the most interesting
portion OF the address He described the
pope as a man Of remarkable power. The
topic Of conversation was the pope's en-
cyclical on capital and labor, and DR..
Depew found that the pope had made a
thorough study of the topic. The pope
was described as being very thin, tall,
weighing in the vicinity of 100 pounds,
with a face of marked intellectually, q
high forehead and brilliant eve.

HANOVER, n. H., Feb. 2s.-President
Tucker of Dartmouth college comments
upon the athletic subjects touched upon
by President Eliot Of Harvard in his
annual report as follows:
No fairer statement has been made than
in the paragraph in which he contrasts
the advantages and disadvantages Of
athletics as now carried on. Some Of the
positions which he takes apply differently
in different colleges. / think that 1t is
true, as rule, that athletics take too
much time, and, what il Of equal ac-
count in some colleges, too much money
Freshmen must be allowed opportuni-
ties TO maintain and develop athletic en-
thusiasm, but men should not be allowed
TO play on any Of the college teams until
they have secured standing In college.
Football Is at best a dangerous game.
Safety must be chiefly In skill In enter
ing upon the general effect of athletics, /
should lay as much stress on the mental
recreation which they give to a whole col
lege as to the physical development which
they secure to the few.

Wiman promises to speak when his
turn comes, and he may then give an
other color to the story already told Of
his alleged forgeries He contends that
he has committed no crime, but only did
what he had right TO do by reason Of
his business relations with the mercantile
agency. Beyond this simple assertion
Wiman declines to discuss the all egstions
made by Mr.. Dun until he is perfectly
prepared to make public his statement Of
