SAN FRANCISCO, April IS.-The State

great utility for tanning purposes. VIM.

Dany has organized company that will
take the initiative in promoting the cult
vatiOn OF the plant Several hundred
acres in Merced County Will be planted
with the root, and thereafter the acreage
under cultivation will be considerably in
creased.
''One object of the board in encourage
ing the cultivation of the canaigre," said
Secretary B. NJ. Lelong to-day, ''is to pre-
vent as much as possible the wholesale
destruction of oak trees. Thousands of
trees are annually stripped of their bark
for tanning purposes. We expect that
the canaigre root will take the place of
tan bark 10 a great extent"
The experimental station in Merced
County is now being planted with the
root. 1t is said that if results are salts
factory the Southern Pacific Company
will plant the canaigre wherever its un-
profitable swamp land is located so as to
better the chances for selling il.

'deDased currency once of 'degenerated
currency and once OF Cheap money!
In one place you describe your opponents
as the forces of silver monometallisn.'
but you nowhere explain what you mean
by sound money or what you consider

mean by these euphOuiOuS and uuiyers-

IF by Sound money you mean a gold
standard, why did you avoid the use of

rency' you mean bimetallism, why did
you avoid the use of 'bimetallism' in
your letter? Your opponents favor the
free and unlimited coinage of gold

OF this? Your opponents are in favor of

to catch his car. In this journey
he ran out of his way block,
and there are many other discrepancies.
These are so glaring that Wolfe has been
subpenaed TO appear again before the
Coroner's jury, where he will be asked to
explain himself.
Wolfe is about the same size as Dur
rant, wore long overcoat Of the same
general style, a felt hat like Durrant's,
and at glance could easily be mistaken
for him.
Rev. DR.. Gibson, the pastor of Emman-
uel Church, tonight refused to see the
reporters. He is suffering from nervous
exhaustion" was the answer given by
the lady OF the house where he rooms.
Earlier in the day, however, he was seen
and was asked why he had not called on
Durraut, who was mem ber Of his flock,
and an active worker in the church. He
said:
There is such peculiar feeling in this
city IN regard to the murder of the two
girls that my actions are being sharply
criticised. l have acted as | thought best.
L would like to call on Theodore Dur
rant and wish him we'll as | hate to be-
Ileve he is the guilty man. Still, in the
face of public gossip, think it would be
injurious 10 both Mr.. Durrant and my
self for me TO call on him. If should go
to his cell and talk with him, just imag-
inc what would be said. Some would
clainl That l, being his accomplice, had
called TO strengthen his nerves."
DR.. Gibson declined to explain why he
happened to be at the church on Satur-
day morning. and simply looked dazed
when asked what he thought OF the fact
that he was the last person seen coming
from the church previous to the finding
of the body of Miss Williams, a point
which the prisoner, Durrant, has raised.
He would not discuss the matter.

LONDON, April IS.-Frederick Harri-
son, who says he has been resident Of
Hawaii for seventeen years, has written
to the press from San francisco complain
ing of the treatment to which British sub
Jects have been subjected at Hawaii. lie
says: when the plan of the revolt was
prematurely discovered in January the
Government seized upon the pretext to
make wholesale arrests. l, with others,
was confined in a crowded, filthy prison.
British subjects and others were sub
Jected In prison to tortures, in the hope of
obtaining evidence and to force them into
testitying as directed. 10 the credit of
England, only one man surrendered to
the dastardly methods. The dark cell,
hunger, being thrust naked into tank of
cold water until the victim tainted, threats
OF execution, arrests of other members of
the prisoners family and bribes are only
samples of the methods employed"
Harrison also complained that the Brit
lsh Government did not take any notice
of the at1idayits forwarded to England by
the British subjects subjected to the op-
pression.
The st. James Gazette, commenting on
Harrlson's leJter, says the Hawaiian Gov
ernment applied a mild form Of torture TO
the prisoners accused OF sedition against
the republic, and expresses the opinion
that the British Foreign Office should in
VesLIgate the charges made, adding: '.If

a Note Which is Thought to be

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.-The note
for $500, 900. alleged to have been given by
the late James q. Fair to Leland Stan
ford, which has been received by the
First National Bank for collection, is not
regarded seriously here. The note was
forwarded from New York through the
ordinary mail, and was in large envel-
ope containing the following brief letter:
NEW YORK, April 9, 1885.
First National Bank, San francisco:
I hsnd you ihclosed note for $500, 900 for

cred IN i've days, return 10 p. Q. box

The note purports to have been exc
cuted in San francisco, May Is, $780, and
reads: Five years after date promise
to pay TO the order OF Leland Stanford at
san Francisco, without defalcation,
$500, 900, for value received" The note is
signed James u. Fair, and is indorsed
Leland Stanford.

Bresse, Jr., and j. S. Angus OF the ex-
ecutors of the air estate, but they both
disclaimed any knowledge of such a note

Neither does any one connected with the

President S. G. Murphy said he had
written TO w. ). Howell at his given ad-
dress in New York, asking for a history
of the note. AS il does not TALL due until
May 18th there Is plenty of time for full
explanation.
Banking people generally view the
note IN the light Of a hoax. The sigma
lures have a quasi-genuine look, and
may have been caused by tracing or
clover forging. A suspicious circum-
stance is that such a valuable note should
have been trusted TO the ordinary mail.
and that :he sender should not identify
himself ana explain the nature OF the
proceeding. Ex-senator Fair had close
relations with Senator Stanford when he
sold the narrOw-gauge railroad to the
Southern Pacific, but that sale occurred
in 1887, three years before the alleged
note was drawn. Besides that q careful
business man like Fair would have some
record OF such note on his books.

SAN FRANCISCO, April I5.-Labor Com

State Chinese registration law of 1891. He
intends to consult Attorney
Fitzgerald as soon as possible, and if tho
interview be favorable proceed at once to

Under the law every Chinese resident
of the State should apply at the Bureau of
Labor Statistics for "a certificate of resi-
dence," containing his photograph. solne-
what similar to the requirements of tha
Geary Act, and for this certificate fac Of
81 would be imposed upon him. The
law provides for an indefinite number of
deputies to issue such certificates, the
compensation TO be 81 for each certificate
issued. The law would also give To tho
State nice sum Of money in the shape OF
"Chinese fund.-" for which it max es
elaborate provision. "It would mean

CAPTAIN BAKTELs.
The PiraticaI Seaman still Under Ar
rest IN NLeXicO.

1n9 I1ratlcaI seaman St1lI Under Ar
rest n Mexico.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 1S.-Captain
Won Helms of the steamer Willamette
Valley, which arrived to-day from La
Paz, Mexico, states that Oscar Bartels,
the piratical sea Captain, who has a weak
ness for stealing vessels, is in prison at
the Mexican port, with two members of
his crew. The particular otfense on
which he is held is for the theft Of the
schooner Star of Freedom from San
Francisco Bay.
Captain Johnson, owner of the Star of
Freedom, has been looking up the record
OF Bartels. and has learned that he Is a
trader in other peoples vessels to con-
siderable extent. Bartels stole the
schooner ArchIlleS from Seattle and went
sealing in her. As sealer he was sue
cessful. He turned over his catch to the
Alaskan agents of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, receiving Il draft on
Louis Sloss tor 5000. Sloss refused to
honor it without an Identification, and
while Bartels was W2iClng the owner of
the vessel dropped into the city from
Ashland, Or.
Meantime Bartels had secured 81, 400
from y. =. LauCentzen, giving him q
mortgage on the vessel. The owner got
here just in time, and he gathered III the
money the alleged thief had raised, IN
Guiding the bulk OF the 81 900 draft. He
said that he was satisfied, so the charge
Of barratry was dropped, and BarteIs es-
capped prosecution.
Bartels next turned up in San Diego,
and shortly afterward the schooner Dawn
disappeared and BaILels WAS counted as
missing. IL is now believed that Bartels
took the Dawn to Mexico and sold her.
About year and half ago the steam
launch Periwinkle, owned by the Light
house Department, disappeared from her
moorings at Goat Island. Bartels is now
credited with the theft of the launch, all
though there is no evidence against him.
His last venture was the theft of the
schooner Star of Freedom from this
port, which he accomplished by bribing
the watchman during the owners abb
sence.
