A WASHINGTON t.1spateh says: Con
gresham Baily, of Texas, intends to
get after Secretary Carlisle. He assured
his constituency that it was his
intention at the opening of the coming
Congress to offer articles of impeach-
ment against Secretary Carlisle. Bailey
proposes to mainly base his impeach'
ment proceedings ON Carlisle diversion
of the gold received from bond issues to
the payment of the current expenses of
the Government. This, Bailey claims,
was illegal and plain violation of his
duties on the part of Secretary of the
Treasury and that nothing short of
impeachment was an adequate remedy.

that ever struck this city. The wind

keeping the main lines open. Dispatches

UNDER THE STATE LAWS,
Big Affidavit to Demonstrate
CALIFORNIA; Right to Regu-
late Rates.
Mr.. Fitzgerald Filed 1t for the Rail.
road Commission to Offset the
Federal Claims.

The Railroad Commission has profited
by the intervention proceedings of United
States District Attorney Foote.
Attorney-General Fitz erald sent docu-
ment yesterday to Clerk Costigan of the
United States Circuit Court for filing that,
self-evidently, showed that the commits
sion was determined to offset the Federal
Governments claims in the Southern
Pacific's injunction suit.
The document is in itself demonstra-
tion to the court that the railroad system
here has been the creature of the State of
California and is, therefore, subject to its
power to regulate.
1t was voluminous affidavit by DIR.
James /. Stanton, and consisted mostly of
pile of exhibits of the articles of incor-
poration and consolidation of all the var-
Gus railroad corporations which now con-
stitute the Southern Pacific system in this
State.
The purpose of the doctors affidavit
was pain, because it showed that all these
different roads-and their name is legion
have been incorporated under the laws OF
the State of California and finally consoli-
dated under its laws and are, of course,
subject to State regulation. This, it is ex-
pected, will meet the Intervention of the
Federal Government.
The document simply states when and
how the roads were incorporated and con-
solidated, from the initiation of the orig
inal San Francisco and San Jose road in
1853 until the present time, and appends
copies of all the articles and agreements
ever filed with the Secretary of State.
Copies were served upon Mr.. Foote as

Appendicitis.
he IS YET PALE AND THIN.
The Success of the Republicans He
Says Is Sure-Wants Walker
for Vice.President

Colonel John s. Mosby, the noted ex-
guerrilla leader, and ex-Minister to China,
who has been absent from this City at his
old home in Virginia since October last, re-
turned here yesterday.
The colonel during his absence had
hard struggle for his life. As told in a
special dispatch in THE CALL at the time,
he was stricken with appendicitis and for
much of the time during four weeks that
he was in bed his friends despaired of his
recovery.

Warrenton, Va. where 1 used to practice

called Marshall, in honor of Chief Justice
Marshall. who used to have large estate
there. That was the scene of many of my
raids, and where l finally disbanded my
men. That occurred thirty years ago, ana
had never seen the place since and l had
been seventeen years absent from Vir-
glnia, seven of which were spent in China.
1--WE took buggy and drove there. l
knew the exact spot by an old barn which
yet remained. While stood musing on
the strange things that had occurred in
those times and since began to feel some
what ill. At supper time the illness was
very decided. I took to my bed and was
down four weeks. Ny friends nearly all
believed that | was to die and have
dramatic ending et the place which had
been the scene of my raids thirty years
before. Luckily the physicians were able
to cure me incidentally, and thus l es-
capped surgical operation.
II am convinced the Republican party
will win easily in the next National cam
paign. If l had my say would have
Southern man on the ticket for Vice
President and a Northern man for Presi-
dent. Since the organization of the party
both have been from the North, and it
would be graceful thing to concede the
Vice-Presidency to the South. 1t would
tend to nationalize things.
II would like to see General James A.
Walker of Virginia nominated for Vice
President. He is the only Republican in
Congress from that State, and he comes
from district where there exist 500 colored
voters. This shows his popularity. He
succeeded General Stonewall Jackson in
his command.

The colonel is looking little thin and
pale after his serious illness, but he hopes
to be all right in short time.

TESTIMONY FINISHED.
Arguments in the Suit OF Fox Against
the Hale g. Norcross Set for
January.

The taking of testimony in the big min
ing suit of Fox VS.. the Hale & Norcross
was finished in Superior Department yes
teraay afternoon, and Judge Hebbard set
January q for hearing the argument.
The morning session opened with the
continuation of the cross-examinaticn OF
Louis Janin, an expert for the defense.
He stated that the samples paid 80 to 50
per cent of the value of the ore.
F. L. Wildes, for the defense, explained
the shipment of one let of ore which he
had testified to On the previous day. He
thought it was credited to the Comstock
Milling and Mining Company. He stated
that the Bullion Exchange Bank handled
all the bullion deposited in the name of
Peters, Brown & Bryson, and described
how the Comstock Milling & Mining Com
pany paid its men in checks on the bank.
The defendants then rested and H. w.
Tangerman was called by the plaintiff in
rebuttal for the purpose of showing the
feeling in Virginia City against the witness
because of his testimony. He stated that
he knew that an attempt had been made
to boycott him. But the objection OF At

Proposed Celebration at Monterey of

by Commodore Sloat.

S. J. Loop, president of the Veterans of
the Mexican War Association, will leave
for Monterey in few days to ascertain
how the people there feel on the matter of
holding fiesta on July 4 to inclusive.
The veterans propose to celebrate on
July the tiftieth anniversary of the rails
ing of the American flag by Commodore
Sloat at Monterey and taking possession
of California in the name of the United
States. They intend to do everything pos
sible to make the occasion memorable

demonstration they may expect to take

The railroad company has already con-

rates from all points to Monterey. The
Secretary of War and General Miles have
been communicated with on the subject
and are showing an interest in the propo-
sition, and General Forsyth, com mander
of the local forces: will give all the assist

LUMBER IN THE STREET.

The Supreme Court Decides That the
Stacks Of Boards Are Nuisances.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the courts of San Jose awarding
$4,000 damages to Elizabeth Jones and
her husband for injuries received because
of the neglect of the Santa Clara Mill
and Lumber Company.
The plaintiffs were passing up a street
where the defendant company had piled
a lot of lumber and in order to pass they
had to drive out by car track in the mid
die of the street. When they got opposite
the end of the pile they saw several more
behind il, and while they were trying to
extricate themselves a train came along
and wrecked the buggy. Both Mrs. Jones
and her husband were badly hurt. They
sued for damages, and the jury awarded
them $15, 900. This verdict the Supreme
Court upholds on the ground of negligence
on the part of the defendant in maintain
ing the piles of lumber in the street.

Phil Seldner testified as to Tangerman's s
good character and reputation for veracity
and F. A. Pedlar testified to the same
effect. R. B. Mitchell attorney, and J. f.

ALONG The WATER FRONT,
Trouble Between the Sailor
Boarding and Shipping
Masters.
Arrival of an Indian Policeman From
Juneau-Probable Loss of the
Lord BreSsey.

The trouble between the independent
sailor boarding house keepers and the old
firms OF shipping masters is still burning
along the water front, and poor Jack, as
he is commonly known, looks on with his
natural appro baton OF any kind of row.
The three old shipping firms in this port
are those of Hunt, Douglass and Chandler
& Wilson, and their opponents are the
Independent Boarding masters Associa-
ton, at 10 Steuart street. Of course there
is bitter war between them. The ship
ping-masters extort blood money from the
sailors, a prerogative OF shipping m asters
in all American ports, and the boarding
masters do not, or at least they allege
they do not. Douglass was arrested re-
Gently on warrant sworn out before Com
missioner Gwin, charging him with ex-
torting blood-money from sailors whom he
shipped. His case came up before Com
missioner Heacock Monday and was post
poned for one week.
Complaints have also been sworn out
against the captains of the British ships
Province and Galena, charging them with
having received SO per man from the
seamen they took aboard of their vessel
1t was reported that Captain Wallace of
the ship Aberfoyle was also to be arrested
upon the same charge, but Martin Brun-
son of the Boarding masters Association
states that the report is incorrect, as his
crew were shipped through the association
and did not take cent from the men.
John Williams, full blooded Alaska
Indian and an officer in the Indian police
force of Juneau, came down on the steamer
City of Puebla yesterday. He is 26 years
old and well educated, having attended
the Alaska mission schools during his
childhood, and has been connected with
the United States Marshals Office in u
neau for several years. His official badge
is a handsome ornament and quite unique
1t is silver American shield, with the
words "Indian Police" in raised letters
across the striped portion, with the letters
"U. s., and bow with cross arrows
Williams states that Alaska will soon
send ten convicts to the California State
prisons, three Of whom were found guilty
of murder and seven of selling liquor to
Indians.
The British ship Lord Bressey, on. 1S5
days from Hongkong to Puget Sound, is
almost given up for lost. She belongs to
the same firm as the Lord Spencer, which
has been posted as missing.
