BANKER DONOHOE BURIED.
His Remains Temporarily
Placed in the Parrot
Family Vault.
1t Required a Car to Convey the
Floral Tributes of His
Friends.

st. Ignatius Church hardly sufficed to
hold the throng of friends of the late
Joseph A. Donohoe, who desired to pay
their final tribute and respect to the de-
ceased. The following were the pallbearers
Adam Grant, A. B. Forbes, Peter Donahue,
Howard Ravens, Joseph G. Eastland, A.
H. Loughborough, Louis B. Parrott and
Professor George Davidson.
Shortly after the remains arrived from
the home of the family Archbishop Riordan
began the celebration of high mass.
Father Yorke then spoke a few words OF
consolation for the living and praise for
the dead.
The funeral cortege left for the depot
shortly after IL A. NJ, and special train
conveyed the remains and the family to the
cemetery plat decided by the PARROT family
to the county of San Mateo. One car was
required to hold the floral offerings con-
triDuted by the host of friends of the de-
ceased.
The remains were deposited in the Par
rott family vault temporarily.
Inside St. Ignatius Church the paintings
were covered with purple cloths, and the
altar was draped in black and white dur
ing the solemnities.
At the cemetery Archbishop Riordan re-
ceived the remains and read the burial
service.
Immediately after the interment Mrs.
Donohoe and her youngest son, Edward,
proceeded to their residence at Menlo
Park, where they will remain for a short
period at least

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
Past Work of Newspaper Men
in Selecting Place of
Meeting.
San Francisco Is a Choice, NotWith-
standing the Difference
In Time.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April S.-The
Star says: There is not much discussion
yet about the place of holding the next
national convention, though there has
been some talk about it. There seems to
be holding back by different cities to see
If Chicago is to enter the race. 1t has been
stated that Minneapolis will again be in
the field for the Republican convention
and all the facilities that were afforded the
last convention are available at the Flour
City now, but the boom that was given
her at that time is lot being pushed quite
so vigorously as four years ago. A CORE
spondent of a Minneapolis paper started
the Minneapolis convention wheel
going and kept it going until the conven-
ton was finally landed there. Another
northwestern correspondent by personal
friendship with four members of the ma
tional committee from the far West Sc
cured the necessary votes which landed
the convention in Minneapolis, as those
four would have located it at Chicago if
they had not voted for Minneapolis when
the break came.
Neither of the newspaper men got any
credit for their efforts. 1t is expected that
next winter to decide upon the conven-
tons location, but before that it is ex-
pected that the cities that are candidates
will have made their canvass and prepared
their presentations for convention honors
long in advance.
San Francisco has already begun its
campaign for the Republican convention
and is doing considerable in the way of adj
vertising the accommodations which that
city affords. If it were not for lack of
telegraph facilities and cost of going so far
to the convention, it might be that San
Francisco would be selected. The news
paper men would vote heartily for San
Francisco and would enjoy trip out
there beyond all question, notwithstand-
ing the difference in time between the
East and the Pacific of three hours would
probably be a factor working against
Frisco, as the events of the morning and
afternoon could only be known in the
next mornings papers, while the happen
ings of late afternoon and evening would
not be told in the East until the appear
ance of the afternoon papers.

from the Fourth District has been called,
and A. G. M. Robertson. Deputy Attorn ey
General. has announced himself a candi-
date. 1t is very doubtful if he receives the
sanction Of the conservative element, and
in event of split in the American Union
party, it is barely possible Paul Neumann
may be elected on an independent ticket.
President Dole will probably issue a pro-
clamation calling the Legislature early in
May.
At a recent meeting of the line officers
of the military with the Cabinet, an almost
unanimous sentiment was expressed favor
able to obtaining United States military
officer, to be appointed to the office Of
colonel. Such move was proposed by the
executive year ago, but met with great
opposition from the military. The recent
revolt has, however, shown them that they
have great deal to learn, and the sup
preston of the uprising was due rather to
the grace of God and the idiocy of the en-
envy than to the superior military maneu-
vers on the part of the military. Advices
will doubtless be sent to Minister Thurston
tolook about for the proper man for the
place.

1t Is Caused by the announcement of an
Excursion Rate.
CHICAGO, ILL, April S.-Some days
ago the Atchison road announced that it
would run on April 8 an excursion from
Central Kansas points on its line only to
points in the irrigating-canal region in
Colorado.
The rate was put at one fare for the
round trip and as the rate was to be in eff
feet for one day and one train only and be-
tween points on its own lines, no idea was
entertained by the Atchison people of cut
ting rates. It's competitors, however, figured
that the one-fare rate might be used for
the cutting of rates between points in
Eastern Kansas and Colorado common
points, by adding the local rate at both
ends. The Union Pacific promptly an
nounced it's intention of making the same
rate from Omaha to Colorado common
points It's action made the round trip
rate from Omaha to Denver SIG 20, with a
ten-day stop-over in Denver.
Both the Burlington and Rock Island
have announced their intention of meeting
the Union Pacific rate, and the latter road
has given Chairman Caldwell notice that
it ignores the agreement of the West
ern lines whenever its interests SO demand
The whole thing promises to become a
first-class muddle.

Reflections on the President WjthOlt
Unsuitable Cause.


J,sstiIfa6Ie Cause.
BOSTON, MASS, April S.-Rev. DIR. Isaac
]. Lansing, pastor of the Pearl-street
Church in this city, who in an address
before the New England Methodist Con-
ference at Salem last week accused Presi-
dent Cleveland of intemperance, tonight
declared himself as follows on the subject:
"My illusions made in a temperance ad-
dress at Salem on Thursday, April 4, as to
the drinking habits of the President of the
United States were based partly on COM
mon reports and partly on testimony of
eye-witnesses from various and indepen-
dent sources which / believe to be wholly
reliable.
81 had been informed that the President
had been seen on different occasions and in
the presence of many persons in an in
| toxlcated condition. From the circum-
stantial and detailed character of these
statements, supposed there was no doubt
as to the facts stated. / therefore made
this allusion as a matter of common re-
port, basing my statements on personal,
and, as l supposed, creditable witnesses.
The names of these witnesses [ can
not with propriety reveal, since, sharing
Lnelr KnoWledSe IN common Win many
others, they might justly shrink from be-
ing singled out and called to verify that
which not only they but others equally
with themselves had clear proof of. /
must, therefore, say that if my state
ment producing such testimony is not
in harmony with the facts regret having
made it. l could have neither desire nor
motive for saying anything uncharitable
of the President or of any party whatever.
''The case being one of conflict of testi-
mony between witnesses of equal CREDIBLE
ity, l cannot decide which is correct, and
since have no personal knowledge apart
from the testimony 1 withdraw the state
ment and tender apologize and sincere re-
grets to the President of the United States
and to the public"

UNDER SNOW AND SAND.
Railroad Service DemoraliZed
in Three States for Sew
eral Days.
less by the New Enemy to
Traffic.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 8.-The rail
roads in Western Kansas and Eastern Colo
RADIO have been battling since last Friday
night with combination of sand and snow
storms which swept over these regions
completely demoralizing train schedules
and causing serious inconvenience and dis
comfort to travellers.
The particles of snow and sand were
driven across the prairies at terrific speed
by the gale, and many are reported to
have been suffocated by the whirling
clouds of sand. Railroad cuts were filled
up and tracks buried completely. The
snow melted and the sand settled down in
hard, unyielding mass. Rotary snow
plows were practically useless against this
new enemy and the railroad companies
were compelled to engage men with pick:
aud shovels to remove the sand from the
tracks.
While the gale was in progress the sui
fering of the workmen was intense. On
board the belated trains the condition o.
the traveller was not much better. The
sand sifted in persistently until the floors
of the cars were covered, and the air in the
cars became hot and sitting. The pas
sengers in several instances were com
PEELED to go without food.
The first train since Friday to reach
this city from Denver, except the Burling'
ton trains, was the Missouri Pacific train
which arrived yesterday. The Burling
tons tracks were outside the storm belt.
The Union Pacific did not bring in 6
single train from Denver until O'Clock
this evening.
No Rock Island trains from the west had
reached here, up to o'clock this evening
since Saturday.
No direct wires were secured to Denver
until this morning, the telegraph com
panies being compelled to send their bust
ness for Denver and points beyond via the
Northern route.
Cattle on the ranges have suffered great
hardships, and robably considerable loss
was sustained by the stockmen.

trust companies from making returns.
The practice had been that an action for
injunction before the payment of a tax
would not lie. 1t was an effort to accom-
plish by indirection what the statutes of
the United States forbid man to do by
direct process. While the main opinion
asserted that there were numerous prece-
dents, he called attention to the fact that
only two were cited. He thought, there
fore, relief granted was in violation of the
practice of the court. He regretted that
this line of decisions was to be overthrown
by annuliing an act of Congress which he
considered in the line of the former opin-
ions of the court.
He affirmed that Congress has as I'M
limited power of taxation as is exer-
ciSed by any Government in the world.
He said the great question at issue was
whether the income tax was direct tax,
and that question, he said, he thought had
been decided hundred years ago in the
Hylton case, and in that case the judg-
ment practically decided that direct taxes
were confined to taxes on land as SUCH
He said he considered if there had previ-
ously been any doubts they had been set
aside in the Springer case and the question
of validity of an income tax established.
He could not see that there was hairs
breadth of difference between these cases
and those now under consideration. He
agreed with his colleagues that the tax
was unconstitutional as to State, county
and municipal bonds.
The opinions were concluded at 2 AS P NJ.
by brief one from Justice Harlan, in
which he held that a tax upon incomes
from lands is not direct tax and that in
come derived from municipal bonds is not
the subject OF specific taxation in any form
by the United States.

ANNEXATION IN HONOLULU
The American League Holds

HONOLULU, HAWAII, March 3O.-A
mass-meeting of annexationists under the
auspices of the American League, has been
the most important event of the past week.
At this meeting c. B. Wilson, the ex.
Queens agent, and G. L. Hopkins, the So
called converts to the new annexation
movement, were among the speakers. The
principal trend of their remarks was that
the natives should favor annexation as the
only remaining weapon to overthrow the
present Government BY some secret
means the natives were warned to keep
away from the meeting. Whether this
was on account of the natural aversion to
anything championed by the American
League, or some other potent reason, re.

FREE SILVER THE ROCK.
Should the Coinage Conven-
ton Call for 1t a Split in the
Party Is Predicted.
CONSIDERED BY THE CABINET.
APPREHENSION That the Example of
Illinois May Be Followed by
Other States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 8.-The
action of the Democratic State Committee
of Illinois in calling coinage convention
for June has caused a great flutter among
administration Democrats.
1t is even limited that the most interest
ing subject at the recent gathering of the
Cabinet officers was this extraordinary call.
There is no doubt of the general belief
among the friends of the President that if
the result of the coming convention should
be a declaration for unlimited silver coin
age at the ratio of 16 to 1, it would mean a
serious split in the party.
There are a large number of Illinois
Democrats who could not stand upon a
free-coinage platform, and many of them
are now connected with the Democratic
administration in Washington, and not a
few in Illinois. 1t is not only what
Illinois may do, but there is a fear that
the example of Illinois may spread to
other States-Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska and the silver States in the West
and probably nearly all the Southern
States, where the sentiment for free coin
age is very strong, and possibly to Ohio
and Indiana.
In fact the action of the Illinois commit
tee is thought to be of the widest signii-
canoe of any political move since the Presi-
dental election. There is apparently little
hope among the men opposed to free coin
age that, within the two months between
now and the time of holding the conven-
ton, it will be possible to overcome the free
silver sentiment that pervades the Democ-
racy in Illinois. 1t is believed by many
leading Democrats that in case the move
ment spreads to other States and has
strength enough to carry the next conven-
ton, there will be considerable bolt from
the Democratic party.

A SMALL CANNERY BURNED.
Destruction of an Old Southern Pacific
Freightshed.

Smiths fruit-cannery, at the corner of
Second and Townsend streets, was burned
last evening. AT II :55 P. NJ. an alarm was
sounded from box 81 and few minutes
later second alarm followed. The one
story barn-like building, which covered q
fifty-vara lot, was ablaze and it was feared
the wind would carry the flames 10 the
Los Gatos Ice Companys house and
Morton warehouse, which adjoin the
burned cannery on the east.
The flames were confined to the cannery,
which was destroyed. The loss is vir-
tually nominal, with the exception of
what machinery was in the building.
In 1871 and 1872 the building was used
as a freightshed by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. For the last few years
it has been used as a small cannery.
Tramps have been the only occupants
lately, and it is believed the fire was acct
dentally set by them. The railroad COM
pany owned the building, and it was un-
insured.

Decision.

Statistics Made Interesting or the Tar
Decision.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.-The
compilation of farms, homes and mort
gage statistics made by the last census is
interesting in view of the decision of the
Supreme Court. These statistics do not,
however, give details concerning rents
paid. A summary of the statistics shows
that there are 1850, 1877 families in the
United States, and of these families 81 per
cent hire their farms or homes and 48 per
cent own them, while % per cent of the
owning families own subject to incum-
brance and Y per cent own free of incum-
brance. Among 100 families, on the aver
age, 50 hire their farms or homes, Ii per
cent own with incumbrance and IS with
out incumbrance. On the owned farms
there are liens amounting to So, 1872, 949, 563,
which is 81 per cent of the value of the in
numbered farms and homes, and this debt
pears interest at the average rate OF 800
per cent. Each owned incumbered farm or
nome on the average is worth 1882 and is
subject to debt of $1257.
In regard to the families occupying
farms, the conclusion is that "a per cent of
the families hire and 66 per cent own the
farms cultivated by them that 90 per cent
OF the owning families own subject to in
cumprance, and Y per cent own free of
incumbrance. Among 100 farm families
on the average "a per cent hire the farms,
10 per cent own their farms with incum-
brance and AZ per cent without incum-
brance. On the owned farms there are
liens amounting to 81, OBS ,995, $3.50, which is
IS per cent OF the value of the incumbered
farms, and this debt bears interest at the
average rate OF 7o7 per cent Each owned
and incumbered farm on the average is
worth $S444, and is subject to debt of

upon good authority that the management
