WHY THEY WERE RETURNING.
Captain Brnnson and His Wife Snubbed
by Their Noble Relatives.

Captain Brunson and His Wife Snubbed
by Their Noble Relatives.
1t has only recently been learned why
Captain John NJ. Brunson, the young Oak
lander, and his wife started so Unexpectedly
and in such hurried manner on their re-
turn trip from Germany, and why they
took passage in the steerage of the Inflated
steamer Elbe instead of the cabin.
Charles de Kay, the American Consul
General at Berlin, explains the matter in
a letter to a prominent Oakland official
dated April 6, 1895. In this letter he says
that the Brunsons received nothing from
the Barnekow estate. This was their first
disappointment.
They then found that the noble rela-
tives of the young lady were inclined to be
distant. In fact, they evidently snubbed
the two Californians, who thereupon de-
cided to leave Berlin.
Then, to cap the climax, Captain Brun-
son was robbed on the train. Having only
small sum left, they evidently decided
not to wait for remittances, but to buy as
good accommodations as they could with
their money and go home. Mr.. de Kay
added that he knew nothing of Mr.. Brun-
sons being short of money and would
have advanced him the amount necessary
to secure irst-class passage had it been
requested of him.

COMMERCE is INJURED.
Stories of Injustice in Guate-
mala Said to Be Greatly
Exaggerated.
Comm entS on the Case
of DR.. Cross.

The story about the imprisonment of an
American citizen in Guatemala, published
in yesterdays Chronicle, has not found
much credence among those who are resi-
dents of or who have travelled in that
republic.
Louis Hirsch, manager of the foreign de-
partment of Castle Bros, was seen in refer
ence to the report last evening. He was
inclined to pooh-pooh the whole story as
absurd.
Mr.. Hirseh said that he was well &C
quainted with Guatemala, as his firm does
a large business in coffee with that coun-
try. In the course of conversation, Mr..
Hirsch remarked: ''In the first place, no
body goes to Guatemala for the benefit of
his health. Not but that the climate is
good, but nine-tenths of the Americans
who go there have some money-making
scheme on hand.
ports, ETC., is simply ridiculous l travel
five months in the year in that section, and
l only carry my American citizenship
papers. In regard to the sketching done
by DR.. Cross, for which he claims he was
arrested, L can tell you that at the time
this gentleman was in Guatemala the feel
ing between that country and Mexico was
rather strong, and in time of war no one
has the right to go sketching in the neigh
borhood of forts. Why, you would not
be allowed to do that in Paris, would you?
CDR. Cross talks of having been put in
Jail and being deprived of food. That's all
talk. That is not the custom in Guate-
mala. Mr.. Young, the American Minis
ter, is very energetic man and he GER
tainly would not have allowed DR.. Cross to
remain IN prison three hours if he had not
been assured that there was something
wrong. l know DR.. Cross and am ac-
quainted with this fad of his for sketch
ing.
"Articles of that kind appearing in pub
lie print do much to injure our trade with
foreign countries" concluded Mr.. Hirsch,
1.-THE commercial community of San Fran
cisco is trying very hard to esta blish friend
ly relations with foreigners, and such alb
surd stories as these do not help US at all.
And besides, those Americans who reside
in Guatemala are bound to suffer the con-
sequences.
"The CALL will do San Francisco a great
service by contradicting these misstate-
ments. Americans can rest assured that
those of them who wish to visit foreign
countries are we'll protected by our dipIo-
matte representatives and consuls."

L. W. McGlaufin, who is charged with
having bought the wheat for the Fair
estate and having the same under his i'm
mediate control at present, said: "Be-
cause it is known that 1 bought the wheat
now stored at Port Costa it is assumed that
am cognizant of the release of the same
from its storage
''Is it fact that you hold the warehouse
receipts and intend unloading on the mar
ket shortly ?" Mr.. McGlaufin was asked.
Haven't the least idea" was the reply
of Mr.. McGlaufin, whose eyes twinkled as
though he took pleasure in his ignorance.
DO you know when this 100000 tons is
to be releaSed2"
81 don't know anything" and that was
all that could be gained from Mr.. Nc
Glaufin.
Judge Slack said he knew nothing of any
release through process of law, and Ad-
ministrator William M. Pierson declined
to be seen or to discuss the matters of the
Fair estate from any standpoint.
Yesterday the wheat market was firm
and showed no signs of weakening.

FOR A BETTER RATE.
The Railroads Are Still After the Com
missiOners for a Reconsideration
of Petroleum.

At meeting of the Railroad Commits
sioners yesterday call for national con-
vention of railroad commissioners in
Washington, D. c., was read. The State
board decided to SEMI a representative,
and on motion of Commissioner Stanton,
II. NJ. La Rue was selected to represent
California in the convention.
4 letter from Robert ?. Clarke, special
agent of the Western Pennsylvania agency
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States, Pittsburg, Pa, was
read. 1t asked to be informed if railroad
is to be built called the Amador, Plymouth
and Jackson Railway, and if it is proposed
to issue bonds on the project bearing per
cent interest, payable half yearly in New
York. The commission had heard moth
ing of this proposed line, and instructed
the secretary to make inquiries and notify
Clarke of the result OF his Investigation.
A communication from X. H. Wade,
general manager of the Southern Califor-
MIA Railway Company, was presented to
the board. Wade's letter was reply to
a complaint made by M. M. Moulton in
regard to repairing and putting into opera
ton an abandoned line between Temecula
and Oceanside.
Moulton wanted to know if the South
ern California Railway Company has not
forfeited its franchise for this road A
copy Of the letter was taken and sent to
Moulton, who may make another reply.
The subject of Reconsideration of rates. on
petroleum and its products was taken I'M
der consideration. J. G.. Stubbs, vice.
president of the Southern Pacific Company,
and r. x. Ryan, general freight and pas
senger agent of the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railway, were present, but
bad little further TO state than on the pre-
vious meeting. Speaking OF competition,
Mr.. Stubs said with regard to coal:
San Francisco wants the trade of the
upper San Joaquin Valley and Los An
geles wants it, = said he. "They are COM
peting for it. This whole matter is a case
of the coal men against the railroads"
1t is hard on the poor farmer, though"
remarked Commissioner La Rue.

The secretary was instructed to ask the

The question which is engaging the atten-
ton of the Harbor Commissioners just now
is as to the remedy they may have for the
money paid to Brown. Fit be proved that
the architect has violated his contract IN
not supervising the work then the board
thinks he is not entitled to the money he
has drawn. Just how that money can be
collected is the question which is agitatlng
the Commissioners.

The Steamer Farallon Gives UP the
Fight and Retires From the Puget
Sound Route.

The steamer Farallon has given up the
opposition fight between here and Puget
Sound. Goodall, Perkins & Co., who have
for years been operating line Of steamers
Sound ports, have proved too heavy Tor

Rates for freight and passengers had been
run down to ridiculously low figures, and

WAsluN0ToS, D, O., Oct l0-Judge
Bradley, OF the District supreme court,
to-day ordered the discharge from GUS
tudy OF Capt George A, Armes who was
arrested on the order Of Lieut. Gen.
sohoield lust prior to the IA'teT'a ro-
trsmsnt from command Of the army
for having witlou him an insulting lot
ter. Judge Bradley scored the action
Of tue late general Of the army, charac'
tOrizing it as unlawful, tyrannical aud
cApriclous.
In dischargiug Captain At ines, whose
arrest and coptinem snt Gen. Sch0held
had ordered by virtue othis position as
acting secretary OF war, Judge Bradley
says;
"rhe arrest and taking away o! ArmeS
into custody, carrying him away from
his homo 70 the barracks and holding
him in close arrest without any anti
cedsnl charge OF crime pretsrrod in any

cIous on tho part OF Con, Schotield in

The Judge then went into the matter
at considerable length and said: mo
charge was preferred against Arnes at
the time Of his arrest, no crime has been
charged since, and for the offence
alleged no arrest was NECESSARY. THO
arrest and confinement we're unlawful
aud oppressive, Us tho offence charged
would upon standardization result only

Speaking OF the Presidents power in
