RAISING THE LIMIT.
SAN FRANCISCO'S VALLEY RAIL-
ROADERS WANT S6,U00,000.
Outside Counties Expected TO Chip In TO
the Extent of Two
Million.

aAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7.-Without sew.
ersl subscription lists in the hands OF
committeeman who failed TO report, the
sum OF $4,000 was added to the San
Joaquin Valley road today. This leeyea
the small balance of s64. 500 yet to be
raised to complete the 100000 which,
it wss announced, would be secured be.
fore the project Was incorporated. But
the members of the committee are not
likely to remain content with tho ST.
600, 200, in fact, it is pretty we'll under
stood that a strong effort will be made
to raise $4,000, 900, and the iorcible ut
tsrances OF Chairman Spreckels on this
subject will give the matter strong im-
petus in the right direction.
II Ia the idea of Mr.. Sprsckels. and
also of many OF his associates. that
81, 100000 of the required $4,000, 900.
ehould be raised in the city, while it is
also thought probable that the remain
ing 81, 600, 900 can be raised in the other
sections OF the country which the road
will penetrate. Mr.. Spreckels has upon
several occasions given strong evidence
OF the great interest be takes in the
project and today he gave uttersnce to
another startling statement which will
carry Joy to the many friends of the
road, and give the work of raising the
| second s2,0u0,0 900 in this city substan-
tisl starter in the right direction.
~ am in favor of raising the entire
! 5000 600 now" said he, "snd l believe
the best way to secure it would DO to
call public meeting and take action.
am willing to double my subscription Ia
the road il this course ia decided upon.
II we dispose OF s6000,000 in stock we
can then Issue like amount in bonds
and thus secure all the money that We
will require to build the entire line"
Then as to the 100000 which the
country would be depended upon to
raise, little trouble lie apprehended in
that score. The people of Santa Glare
county alone have stated that that i,
is believed one-half that amount cout
be raised in that county alone, and tn,
indications from all other sections chow
that money will not be lacking when
direct request for II is made.
VIsALIA, Feb. THE board OF super
visorH today adopted resolutions declar
ing that a competing railroad would b
to the best interestB of Tulare count
and the San Joaquin valley, and grant
ing the right of way for railroad owe
the county road where the same may b
necessary for the use of the PROPOSED
railroad aa q roadbed.

DEAF TO THE STARVING
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE OF A RE-
LIEF COMMITTEE.
A Hundred Carloads OF Supplies for
Nebraska Sufferers but No One to
Distribute Them.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. IA Lincoln
special to the Bee says: The senate in
dulged in an angry debate today over
the alleged inactivity of the state relief
committee. Senator Stewart offered q
resolution providing for the appoints
ment of committee OF FIVE senators, to
ut once take charge of the shipment OF
100 carloads OF supplies now on hand.
The resolution provoked a heated dis
custom. Stewart denounced the mem.
bers of the state commission as grossly
incompetent. and asserted that through
their criminal negligence people were
psrishing from cold and starvation. He
insisted that if single person
perished in the blizzard of ysster-
day, that the members OF the
state commission should be arrested and
tried for manslaughtsr. He also de-
nounced the senate for what he termed
its asinine stupidity in passing law
tying up the relief work with 90
much red tape. The discussion soon
took partisan turn, which was brought
to a climax BY Caldwell, who asserted
that the commission was handicapped
by the fact shat at east one of its mem
bera was Popnist. The debate was
closed by the adoption OF an amendment
providing for committee of three to
wait upon the governor aud urge imme-
diRte action.

THE JEW IN TRILBY.

svengali Must Take His Place Beside
shylook, Fsgin and Others.
The Jewish people have always made
complaint OF the fact that 40 many
English playwriters and novelists have
picked out Jews for their most detest-
able characters. and have represented
them as the basest of mankind. Plenty
OF authors have followed the example of
Shakespeare, who created Shylock, the
Jew, and that OF Dickens, who create d
Fagin, the Jew; and though come good
jews appear in English works of imag-
ination, Jewish readers think it unfair
that bad ones are made to predominant
90 largely there. The newest complaint
ie about Svengali. the Jew in Du Maui
rier's novel of Trilby.
A jewish critic who has made study
OF the complex traits of this fictitious
Jew maintaiDs that he has an unnatural
character. He has two sides to his
mind, neither OF which ia good. At his
best he is knave, at HE worst brutee
Though q wondrous artist, who rivals
the best musicians of his time, he is
utterly depravsd. He ia not oil th
jewish type. He stops at nothing that
will help him to gain his ends. 1t seems
unreasonable that any man should
possess such musical attributes as are
given to Svengali by means OF which
he could draw tears from the eyes of an
enchanted audience. and yet be such
contemplate whep. Even his
love for Trilby, which looks as
though 1t were sincere. is
associated with the qualities Of
avsrice and duplicity. Though he made
her the greatest vocalist on earth, he
caused her death. Only under his hyp-
motto influence could she sing at all, but
he exercised this influence upon her
merely ss a means OF bringing wealth
to his coffers; and he was loatb to re-.
linquish IL until his death, after which
came the wasting away and the end Of
Trilby. He is hypnotist. but hypnot-
| ism has never yet done what Svengali
did through it in the novel, while he
gazed at his victim. The unneturalness
OF the action, as alec of the character,
cannot be disputed. Certainly the fact
| that he possessed genius as pianist ia
| not to be regarded as q redeeming trait
in the base character OF Svengali. An
unspeskable thing, not q Jew, it is that
Du Maurier has created.
In many details the author Is untrue
to Jewish nature and habits. No Js "
! Of 1860 would have fallen into Mysteries
| at tho suggestion Of a bath, or have
washed his hands but once in three
days or his face bnt once week. The
jewish laws are exacting "a to bodily
cleanliness; and though. by reason Of
persecution and consequent degradation,
those laws may have been disrsgsrded
in bygone ages. they are obeyed when
obedience to them 10 possible, and when
the Jew 10 permitted to live 90 he de-
sires.
But in creating such Jew &C Svsngali,
Du Maurier merely followed the exam
Pile of the British writer's Of fiction and
plays who preceded him.

THE PnKALrA-KEAvIs CLAIM.


Bogus Title to Arizona Land to Do
Upset.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA story of claim 70
land that has been hanging over the best part
of the territory of Arizona for over a century
is told in a communication sent to the house
of representatives by the attorne y-general,
who asks for an additional appropriation OF
S25 900 for fees and expenses arising there
under. The case is that OF James Addison Per-
alta-Reavis and wife versus the United States
pending in the court of private land claims for
the confirmation OF l2,75O,0oO acres OF land
in Arizona.
An accompanying letter from n @. Reyr
uolds, United States attorney for the court of
private land claims, says a large amount OF
testimony has already been taken in behalf
of the government to the forgery of the
records from which certified copies of the title
were taken. showing conclusively that the
grossest frauds are being perpetrated against
the government to secure continuation OF the
claim.
The ramifcations extend through the ar
chives of the City Of Mexico and Guadalajara

and Arizona.
