FOUR HOURS TOWING.
For Which the Montserrat Claims
Twenty Thousand Dollars.

twenty thousand Dollars.
suit for libel has been fled in the
United States District Court by John L.
Howard and D. 0. Black burn, owners of
the Hawaiian ship Montserrat, against the
steamer City of Puebla, for $4,000 salvage.
The M0Utserrat left Nanaimo on March
10 last with cargo of coal. bound for this
city. Early on the morning of the next
day they discovered the City of Puebla
inshore of hem flying signals of distress.
The Puebla's shaft was broken, prevent
ing her from using her steam power. The
steamer Costa Rira had come up previous
10 the MontSerrat and was lying by. The
captain OF the Montserrat offered assist
aDcr, and was answered by a gesture
toward the Costa Rica. indicating that he
service would be rendered by the latter
vessel. About thirty minutes later The
master of the Montserrat, seeing that no
progress was made by the Costa Rica,
again offered assistance, which was ac-
copied by the Puebia's captain.
Two hawsers were passed to the disabled
steamer, and the MOntserrat started TO
low the vessel to Cape Flattery. The first
strain parted one of the hawsers. The
second hawser held for ten minutes, when
it slipped from the Puebla. The Mont
serrat offered the line again, but the CAP
tain of the Puebla refused to take it but
threw bis hawser on board the Mont
serrat. This line parted after a short
time. ana the tug Wanderer took hold of
the Puebla and brought her into port.
The Montserrat was actually employed
in towing about four hours, and IL was for
this service and the time lost by her in
performing it that her owners claim
500 900 salvage.

FAST FRUIT TRAINS.
The Southern Pacific VIII Run
Them This Season.

The Southern Pacific officials in the
freight department are sanguine that the
fruit shipments this year. from present in
dications, will exceed those of any previous
season, and they estimate the probable
crop at 20. Oo0 carloads.
Rates for the coming season will be as
follows:
For deciduous fruits in carloads of a
minimum weight of ten tons to car, from
San Jose, Sacramento, San Francisco and
Sixteenth street, Oakland, in ventilated
cars, freight train service. 81 % per 100
pounds. For efrigerator-cars, passenger
service. with minimum OF twelve tons to
a car. it is expected that the rates for the
cars will be about 1925 to S175 each, ac-
cordug to the place OF shipment.
The Southern Pacific is also perfectinp
arrangements to secure rapid transit from
California to Chicago, and it is expected
that it will be able to make the run with
the passenger service in 100 hours and
with the freight service in 1872 hours and
possibly in 1853. This estimate is from

He knows me, and know him." he aid.
sI'ye been here since January. 1891"
said Montgomery. "Pve been here two
years ahead of that gentleman over there,
and I've a name which I'm not ashamed
of. VIZ: Montgomery. I've played at all
the halls back East and everywhere. and
I've always called myself 'Sandowe;'
with an e. mind you. and an accent on
the e."
Montgomery went ON to say that his
rivals name was no more SaDdow than
his. Eugen's proper name was Frederick
Wilhelm Sande. Another strong man,
Attilla by name. knew all ABOUT that.
As to the Injunction papers, Sandowe
claimed that he did not know W hat they
were. He was not apprised of their con-
tents until the Monday following their
service. and since that discovery be had
faithfully obeyed the injunction. He
would rather run 1000 miles han think of
disobeying an order OF the court. although
his enforced idleness cost him more than
$500 a week.
In cross-examination the defendant said
that he was nervous on the night he was
served with the injunction papers, as he
was anticipating a contest on the stage
with Samson" another Hercules, so
that he did not paw much attention to what
the Deputy Sheriff old him. Hence mis-
unconscious Violation Oh Tue OTueT. lie
couldn't even tell how many persons were
present at the time. 1t was false TO sup
pose that he curled his hair and mustache
so rs to resemble Eugen Sandow. He
knew what he was about better than that.
Throughout this whole scene Eugen
Sandow sat calmly smiling. Once or twice
he flushed, as with Indignation, but on the
whole his serenity was almost unruffled by
the contemptuous remarks Of his adver-
sarv.
Finally Judge Slack said he desired to
hear no further testimony nor arguments
upon the case. He was ready 10 decide
the matter at once. The defendant had
evidently been guilty of violation of an
order of the court. and if it had been
shown that he was willfully guilty then a
very heavy fine would have been Imposed.
As it was, the court was inclined to be-
ieve MoDtgomery's statement to the ef-
feet that he did not become aware of
the contents of the injunction papers until
the Monday after their service. On the
whole, therefore, the justice of the case
would be met by the infliction OF fine of
S25 or, in default, twenty-five days i'm
prisonment in the County Jail.
The fine was promptly paid, and the
rival strong men went their way. The
question of damages upon the merits of
the case is for further cons liberation.

TRAPPED INTO CUSTODY.
The Supreme Court Decides That
FoSs Must STAY.

The Supreme Court has denied a writ of
habeas corpus in the case of 3. r. E.oss
aud ordered him to De remanded.
Foss was a schoolteacher of Plumas
County and was charged with embezzle-
ment of funds coming into his possession.
He fled the consequences of his crime and
went to Honolulu, whence he was brought
back on extradltion papers. Foss set up
plea that the extradtion treaty between
the United States anG Hawaiian Govern
ment did not provide for eases of embezzle-
ment. and, his contention being sustained,
he was ordered TO be discharged from Gus
tody.
Two hours after his release Foss was re-
arrested on the emDeZzlement charge. This
time he sued out a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that his second impfison-
ment was illegal. He had been honorably
discharged from custody, and should have
been given reasonable time to leave the
country.
The Supreme Court in remanding the
prisoner decided that the actual specificd-
ton of crime made no difference in cOuu-
tries between which an eXtradltion treaty
existed. 1t was simply a question of the
comfy of nations"-a comfy which per-
United any nation to give up fugitive
from justice at VIII, making il matter
purely Of that nations discretion. Hence
the plea on which Foss obtained his first
release was held 10 be invalid.
Secondly. as TO the reasonable time.
This plea the court held had nothing in
point. The opinion was written by JUS
tice de Haven and concurTed in bv JUS
tees Harrison, Garoutte and Chief Justice
Beatty.
dissenting opinion was written by
Justice Mcfarland. In this it was sug-
gested that the Hawaiian extradition
treaty did not provide for enlightenment
cases; that this plea had once been sue
cessfully set up, and that in any case Foss
should be given reasonable time to return
whence he was forcibly taken.

II Gives Him Not Only Local Celebrity

The conviction that Lincoln was
much more than the Great Emancipa.
tor is pronounced with a full sense OF
the possible shock it may bring to those
who love to think of Lincoln's chief
rcnown as connected with the race he
freed from bondage. 1t is hard for
many of MS not to feel that emancipa-
ton was the great achievement of that
struggle, and that the war was waged
to decide whether this should be free
nation or land of bonds and stripes.
But the wiser years will decide against
us. All our thankfulness and honor to
the man who made the act of emanci.
patton weapon with which to strike
rebellion must not blind us to the fact
that this splendid stroke of policy, this
noble deed of statecraft, was only an
incident and not the aim of the strug
gle. Viewed in its relations to the
long world history, the development OF
mankind, the work of civilization, the
American people under their great
leader were engaged in determining
whether the great principle of fedora.
tion, the peaceful coexistence of great
states. should succeed or fail. They
were in a struggle to decide whether
the rule of peace ard good will should
extend, or stop and gono further. And
Abraham Lincoln's clear, unerring eye
perceived the meaning of the struggle,
his strong mind grasped its vital inn
port, and his steadfast soul clung to
that thought with a tenacity t iat could
be expressed only in some such words
as Paufs: "This one thing do"
We have thus far been accustomed to
rank our great president among the
heroes of our own land, and seldom
have dared to talk of him in connec-
tion with his place among the world s
famous ones. Sometimes it has seemed
to come to us that he was worthy q
fame outside the limits of this land.
Some rare voices have found courage
to say, as Lowell said:
Here was type of the true elder race,
And ono of Plutarchs men talked with us
face 10 face.
There is enough in his personality,
so fresh, SO strong, so inspiring, to JUS
tify our highest pride in him, and to
make us hold up this new product of
our new land, whose honesty and
strong good sense, whose earnest faith
and indomitable purpose fit him to
stand like a modern Aristides or New
World Cato. But when the slow judg-
ment of the years is made up it will
take this man of the west, who led us
through the fires of terrible civil
strife, and, seeing how his achievement
reached out to all mankind and secured
the work which cost the toll and strug-
gle of ages, will range him side by side
with the men who saved Greece from
Persian barbarism, and those who
saved Rome from Gallo anarchy and
those who gave this continent to the
free institutions of the English race

RELIGION in ROME.
The Opposition of Paganism TO Judaism
and Christianity.

AS Rome became residence for all
strange gods, it also became both the
religious capital of the world and it's
called the "Holy City, and the ''Eter-
nal City" and so when Christianity
ultimately triumphed, it still retained
those titles, and became naturally, as
well as for other reasons, regarded as
the religious capital of the Christian
world.
Only two religions were excluded
from the almost universal federation
of paganism-namely, Judaism and
Christianity. Fathers of the Church
have complained of this, yet somewhat
unreasonably; for the concord which
existed between the various pagan
forms resulted from their willingness
to make reciprocal concessions. This
neither Jews nor Christians would,
nor could, consent to; and they had
naturally to take the consequences.
Yet peace was offered to them on the
same conditions as to others. The
pagans were ready to recognize in Je-
hovah their own Jupitsr and Bacchus,
and not few We're willing to keep the
Sabbath and observe Jewish fasts and
feasts. There were also some Jews,
like Herod, who would not have re-
GREETED such mutual understandings;
but the mass of the nation repelled
them with horror, and thereby in
CURED bloody prosecutions, wherein
thousands lost their lives, and furious
hatred against them arose, which only
ceased when they associated them
selves with the pagans to persecute
Christianity.
The Christians, as everyone knows,
were also offered what were deemed
favorable terms, and little difficulty
would have been felt in the acceptance
of Christ as one god more, and las
READERS will remember) His image had
it's place in the private Chapel of thu
Emperor Alexander Severus, beside
those of Orpheus and Apollonius, But
no consistent Christian could tolerate
idolatry, even to the extent of scatter
ing few grains of incense on the al
tars either of the Goddess of Rome or
OF the Genius of the Emperor. Such q
spirit of exclusiveness was new thing
to the pagans, and naturally appeared
disloyal to the Romans and OPPOSED to
the very essence of civicism. Nine
