said to him: I'VE cannot accept you"
''Why?' asked the astonished house
governor. "Oh, we would rather not

was sturdy fellow. "Well," said the

Those little patent affairs which

to create great deal of excitement
along crowded city thoroughfares.
One day last week, for instance,
there was . group of male pedestrians
gathered in close ranks with craned
necks about a fakir on Chicago
street.
a :rash-faced. pretty girl in a big
hat and a stylish wrap sailed jaunt:ly
down the street, the embodiment of
brave AMI Independent womanhood.
This dauntless young woman ell
bowed lier way ahead through the
crowd and glanced casually at the
fakir with little superc.lious smile,
which included the group of curious
loiterers.
Suddenly the group was ag:tat ID
and swayed in from the curb, and a
small dark object scurried across the
pavement.

AGAIN UNDER FIRE.
Attorney Riordan Declines to SUBJ
sfantiate His Charges.

Collector Wise landed one Foon Glue last
week because Inspector Williams told him the
pagan was a doctor. Subs quently Attorney
L. ID. Riordan intimated that Williams was
crooked and had recommended the landing OF
Foon Glue for financial reasons. Foon Chue,
he said, was a gambler.
The Collector decided to investigate the
matter, and called all who were interested in Ii
before him yesterday. Attorney Riordan was
asked to give his reason for saying that VIII
liamS had made a false report about FOon
Glue, but refused on the ground that what he
knew about the matter was obtained by him In
bis professional capacity.
VERY WELL" said the Collector, 81 will take
the case into court and you Will have 10 an
swer."
IF you take IL into court" Riordan answered.
81 shall fall back upon my right as lawyer
and refuse 10 reply"
There the matter ended so far as Rlordan was
concerned. but Williams produced several
reputable witnesses who positively declared
that Foon Chue WAS doctor before be went TO
China. The Monaghan himself testified that he
was a doctor, but admitted that like most OF
his cOuntlymen he is given TO gaming.

Trial of the Strikers Has
Commenced.
MANY MERCHANTS AS JURORS
One Shipowner Is Accepted by
the Defense.
HE ONCE FOUGHT THE RAILROAD.
Technical Objections Raised and De-
moIished-W What the Govern
ment Says Ii Will Prove.

The trial of the strikers in the United
States District Court is fairly under way
and Judging from the tactics of the attor-
news for the defense il will be one OF the
largest on record. Every question asked
by the Government attorneys is met with
an objection, and a this. early stage court
lawyers and jurors display symptoms OF
WEAKNESS.
The strikers were indicted by Grand
Jury that did not contain one solitary
workingman, and they will be tried by a
petit jury, composed Of merchants. CAPT.
taIists and professional men. The twelve
good men chosen TO try the case were:
Cuthbert Gordon, insurance; B. F. Well
ington, seed merchant; j. c. Diggins, con-
tractor; Seth p. BabsoD, architect; George
II. Stins, retired merchants; Richard a.
Bourne, merchant; E. II. Lyon, insur-
ance; a. E. Pryor, shipper; Jacob Bertz,
capitalist; James Gillian, stock broker;
john D. Spencer, retired contractor, and
James b. Wyman, waTehouseman.
Pryor was Obje cted to because he was a
ship owner, but when he admitted that be
had been interested in a line that entered
into competition with the Southern Pacific
he was accepted by the defense. A
stranger listening 10 the questions asked
the jurors would have thought that the
railroad and not the Government was the
prosecutor.
When the jurors had been sworn Assist
ant District Attorney knight stated that
the Government would prove the existence
of a widespread conspiracy on the part of
the strikers. He would prove it by the
murder of Engineer Clark, by the killing
of engines, by the arrival Of armed men
from Dunsmuir, by the stealing of train
at Lathrop.
Monteitb, for the defense, objected. The
Indictment, in his opinion, did not con-
template such conspiracy. He was sur
prised by the statement made by The Gov
ernmeuts attorney, and if his objection
was oVeTruled he wanted two weeks time
in which to prepare for such fight as Mr.
knight had outlined The court, however,
oVerruled that and many other technical
AFFECTIONS raised by Monteith and ordered
the trial TO proceed.
Superintendent Flint of the Railway
Mail Service was called by the Govern
ment and told how trains stood sill on the
overland routes from June IS TO July 13
and how he was com PEELED to carry the
mail by stage and steamer Mr.. Flint
gave the number and time of trains going
to and from Red Bluff before the strike
was ordered and in a general way de-
scribed The decentralization that followed
the outbreak of bOstlities between the
railroad and its men.
MonteIth repeatedly interrupted Flint
with objections, but every material state
mept given by the witness was allowed to
stand.
AS Special Attorney H. s. Foote was
Obliged to attend meeting OF the Board
of Regents. the Trial was adjourned at
noon and will be resumed this morning.

STRIKERS APPEAL.
They Have Not the Funds to Make
Proper Defense,


The defense committee of the Ameri-
can Railway Union. composed of George
W. Sells, George Elliott and F. NJ. Oats,
has Issued the following appeal:
To the veople of the State of Californla-On
the part u the members of the American Rail-
road Union who were concerned in what Is
known as tile Pullman strike last summer, the
undersigned take the liberty of presenting this
appeal TO the patriotic and liberty.loviDg citi-
Zens OF California, who stand ready. as we be-
leTe many do. 10 assist US IN the battle that Is
now being fought in the United States courts
We do not appeal to you for charity, but
simply ask your assistance 10 enable us TO Sc
cure proper dSfense III the cases that are now
nelng tried, believing as we 90 that the principle
involved IN this peTsecutlon-for we do not be-
IeYe II Is proSecutI0n-ls one that interests
every American citizen, as much and as deeply
as IT concerns those imme dately involved.
The announcement that has been made on
the part OF The prosecution in the present cases
shows ceHcluslyeiy that the intention of The
prosecution is to cover the entire grounds that
are occupied by the strike.
1t Involves all the antecedert causes, every
thing that occurred during its existence and
much that has transpired since 1t was over.
In ibis WV OF the case ii must be plain TO
any person that the legitimate and necessary
assistance TO which we are duly entitled in
having the defense properly presented, is far
beyond the reach OF those who are compelled TO
work as we are. Even re we being actively
employed, with how much stronger force is il
true, when the fact is taken INTO consideration
mat for four months we nave almost all OF us
been out OF employment; not only that, but
We have been the subjects OF the rigid boycott
on the part OF the railroads who employ skilled
labor Of our particular kind
We simply have not the funds to make a
proper defense. We are opposed by all the cor
pOrate wealth of the American ma ion, and we
only ask for an opportunity 10 have our SIDE of
the case fully presented, that there may be a
just determination Of The issue involved.
We believe that a full investigation of this
matter viii lead TO but one conclusion, and
that is that it Will show thai In all we did we
acted within The bounds OF the law and are
fully justified in his appeal. We are simply
seeking The assistance of those who are willing
TO helm US In this fight, for The purpose OF show.
ing hat we were right on the one end and OF
yindicating the exercise OF personal liberty
within legitimate bounds upon The other.
The following gentlemen have agreed to
serve as a committee TO receive subscriptions:
