SUED BY FRESNO MEN.
Sequel to Marcus Pollasky's
Perfdy in Aid of Hunt.
ington's Road.
Action Brought Against the Southern
Pacific by a Street Railway
Company.

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. 23.-The trial of
the suit of the Fresno Street Railroad
Company against the Southern Pacific
Company was begun before jury in
Judge Carter's court to-day.
This suit is an aftermath of the doings
of the illustrious Marcus Pollasky in this
city few years ago. Pollasky built an
ostensibly independent road from Fresno
to the town OF Pollasky on the San Joa-
quin River, twenty-five miles north of
this city. People became enthusiastic
over the idea of building an nti-Southern
Pacific re ad to the mountains, as Pollasky
quite liberal with bonuses and granting
rights of way. After Pollasky had Sc
cured all these he turned the road over to
the Southern Pacific.
Among those most interested in Fresno s
welfare and the advantages of railroad
to the timber and mining regions of the
Sierras were J. r. White and Fulton g.
Berry. They were also owners of the
streetcar line which runs to the eastern
suburbs OF this city. In building his rail-
road Pollasky took up the roadway of the
streetcar line for distance of half mile
in the suburbs, and no serious objection
was raised by Messrs. Berry and White in
their hberality toward Pollasky. But
the Southern Pacific they brought suit for
damages. They want to gain possession
of their roadway again, besides $4,000 dam
ages and $3.50 a month since Septembe l,
1891, profits which they have been de-
prived of on account of the railroad cross
ing their line and prohibiting travel be-
yond point where the railroad crosses.

ENGLAND AN ENEMY.
Chicago Braves Who Would Not
Brook a RackdoWn.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 23.-At meeting
tonight of the Iroquois Club, the princi-
pal Democratic organization of its kind OF
Chicago, called for the purpose of discuss
ing the Venezuela question, the following
resolution was unanimously passed:
Resolved. That this club most heartily sup
ports the President and Congress of the United
States in the determination to enforce recogni-
tion of the Monroe doctrine in the controversy
between Great Britain and Venezuela.
The second part of the original resolu-
ton was re-enacted. 1t read as follows:
And we believe with our Secretary of State
that on this continent the United States OF
America is supreme and its fat is law.
This declaration was considered much
too radical for some of the members and
was voted down by nearly thirds
vote. There were several speakers, and
all, with one exception, counseled war in
the event of Great Britain refusing to back
down from its position.
G.. F. Shackelford took a radical view of
the case. He said Great Britain had al
ways been the worst enemy of the United
States and always would be, and that its
fortification of Vancouver Island meant
that it intended some day to invade us
and conquer US, whether it had any pre-
text TO do so or not. He did not believe
Great Britain would recede from its posi-
ton, and in the event of war he predicted
the United States would be sure to win,
despite England's formidable front. The
Welland canal was built, he claimed, so
English warships could she'll Detroit and
Chicago.

MARE ISLAND INSPECTION,
Seamen of the Cruiser Boston
Drilled in the Arts
of War.
Commander Wilder Praised by the
Board for the Efficiency of
His Crew.

VALLEJO, CAL, Dec. 23-Each mem
Der of the board of inspection is enthusi-
astic over the splendid condition in which
the machinery OF the cruiser Boston worked
upon her trial trip. There is no fault to be
found in any part of the vessel and it is
safe to say the report the board will send
to Washington concerning her steaming
and steering qualities will be one of the
cleanest records ever sent from ship that
has received such thorough overhauling
as the Boston underwent during her stay
at Mare Island. She is far better ship
than when built eleven years ago.
Upon leaving the yard for her trial the
Boston steamed outside the heads, where
her stearing-gear was tested and sails set,
furled and unbent The big guns were
fired, the mountings showing no i'll effects,
and scarcely a trem mble being felt, broken
pane or two of glass in one of the cabin
SlSylights being the only damage DONE
The guns were fired singly and by broad
sides.
The engines were run slowly and fast.
without noise or friction. The board
ordered the sh ip to return, as the members
were perfectly satisfied. Anchor was
dropped in San Pablo Bav, when the
anchor-gear and compasseS were tested and
various evolutions gone through with.
General muster was ordered, and every
one forward to aft was pleased to find the
Boston in such an excellent condition.
The board of inspection to-day examined
the crew regarding their knowledge of
great and small guns, fire quarters, boat
drill, abandoning ship, loosing and furling
sails, yard drill, ETC., in all of which the
seamen were perfect, and their COM
mander Captain Frank Wilder, and Execu-
tive Lieutenant Commander Wadhams
were highly praised.
Lieutenant G. G Calkins, reported for
duty on the Boston to-day as navigator.
The cruiser has now full complement of
officers and men, and they are picked
lot.
No orders have been received for her to
leave for China, but they are looked for
any moment after the report of the board
of inspection reaches Washington, which
it will before the end of the week. She is
coaled and provisioned, and could Com
mandant Howison says, be away from the
yard tomorrow night. So complete is the
cruiser in all her parts that there is no ne
cessity for any of the yard men to go
aboard and tinker at her machinery.
A first-class piece of work has been done
in overhauling the Boston. and the Mare
Island officials are gratified at the result.

JUSTICE FOR TACOMA,
Ex-City Treasurer Boggs
Sentenced to the Pen
itentiary.
SIX YEARS IN PRISON.
Fate of One of the Men Who
Looted the Northern City's
Exchequer.
NOTICE OF APPEAL GIVEN.
The Prisoner Disappointed at the
Length of the Term
Imposed.
NOTICE OF APPEAL GIVEN,

TACOMA, WASH, Dec. 23.--George W.
Boggs, ex-city treasurer of Tacoma, was
brought into Judge Parker's courtroom
this afternoon to receive his sentence.
The room was crowded and late corners
were crowded out and found it convenient
to sit out on the stairway.
Judge Campbell, who acted as Boggs'
counsel throughout the case. was present,
and in passionate appeal for mercy to
his client petitioned the court to consider
the evidence carefully and to measure his
judgment by it. Boggs was then asked if
he had anything to say, but he shook his
head as he stood up to receive his sem
tence. Judge Parker said:
1.-THE court has taken great pains through
out the trial of your case to keep any er-
ror out of the record. Whether or not
any error has crept in l do not know, but
l am satisfied there has been no material
error preiudicial to or affecting your
rights.
You have been we'll and ably defended
by eminent counsel, and every artifce has
been resorted to TO secure your acquittal.
The jury has found you guilty and it now
becomes my duty to pass Judgment, al
ways one of the most unpleasant things
the court has to perform, and one that the
great law of necessity-that law which
makes it needful in order that society may
be allowed 20 live-requires of the court.
Il sentence you to six years in the peni-
tentiary."
George w. Boggs sat down, but his iron
will kept him from showing his disap-
pointment at the length of the term which
he had been sentenced to serve. He i'm
mediately left the courtroom in company
with Deputy Sheriff Macarthur.
Judge Campbell then gave notice of ap-
peal TO the Supreme Court, and requested
that the court fix the amount of bond
without delay.

CAP TIVE At UK|AH,
Desperate Dan Burton Now
in Mendocino C0unty's
Prison.
FOUND TO BE INSANE.
Physicians Discover the Cause
of the Mans Murderous
Disposition.
HE LONG RESISTED ARREST.
Surprised and Captured at His Cabin
Near the Lake County
Line.
HE LONG RESISTED ARREST.

UKIAH, CAL, Dec. 23.-Dan Burton,
county from the standpoint of peace Off
GERS, was captured by Under Sheriff Philo
Handy late yesterday afternoon at his
cabin few miles from the Lake County
line. A warrant for Burtons arrest had
been sworn out on April II, on complaint
of l.. G.. G. Harris. who charged that Bur-
ton had made threats against his life and
threatened to destroy his property. The
warrant was placed into the hands of Con-
stable Hughes for service, but when be
attempted to arrest Burton the latter re-
fused to come, and emphasized his refusal
by demand that Hughes leave his prem
ises. Persuaded by Burton's Winchester
Hughes departed. Sheriff Johnson then
left for Burton's home, but he met with no
better success than did the constable.
The warrant was given to Deputy Sheriff
Hatch, one of the coolest officers con-
nected with the Office and who it was be-
heved would surely arrest his man. When
Deputy Hatch reached the outlaws cabin
he passed Burton re-enforced by one of his
men. The officer realized that the odds
were too great and nothing could be done
and returned to Ukah for further assist
ance, but not until he had been threatened
with death if he did not Immediately
leave the ranch.
After this attempt to arrest Burton it
was not thought that he could be taken,
some time having elapsed and it being be-
lieved that Burton was thrown off his
guard Under Sheriff Handy went to the
ranch yesterday, and, after display OF
considerable strategy, surprised Burton
and succeeded in landing him in jail.
Few thought Burton would ever be taken
alive, and he declares he would not have
been had he not rested under the impress
sion that his capture had been abandoned.
Harris, who swore out the complaint,
is d neighbor of BCrton's and i'll feeling
has existed between them for some time.
A commission was appointed this after
noon to examine into Burton's sanity, and
the physicians promptly pronounced him
insane and he will tomorrow be taken to
the Mendocino asylum. This morning he
appeared before Justice Sullivan, who
placed him under $500 bonds to appear for
a hearing tomorrow at 2 O'Clock, but the
decision of the physicians this afternoon
mykes that unnecessary.
Burton has always been afflicted with
fear that he was being threatened by his
neighbors. Five years ago he got into an
alteration with one Gooch, and badly
wounded him in the arm with Winches-
ter bullet. He was arrested on charge of
assault with intent to murder, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment in San Quentin. AT the ex-
piration of his term last spring ne at once
returned to his old home, and there got
into his present difficulty.

OROVILLE, CAL, Dec. 23.-Colonel
Frank Mclaughlin, who has for the past
sixteen years managed several mines
owned by himself and an English syndi-
cate, has disposed of his entire interests to
the syndicate and resigned. Edmund
Harvey of London has succeeded Colonel

said Colonel Mclaughlin to-day. "This
sale enables me to take a rest which nature
long ago warned me was necessary. Here
after intend to mix the golden fruit lands
with the golden gravels of quartz in my
business. My control of the Miocene
ditch and its great possibilities for irriga-
ton and power for electric light and rail-
ways, is in itself sufficient inducement to
attract me outside of my interest in citrus
lands and firm faith in their growing
values-a faith which started in skepti-
cism, but is now founded upon the rock of
close and unprejudiced investigations"

GETTING READY FOR WAR,
Venezuela Is Making Some Active
PreDaratiouS.

NEW YORK. N. Y, Dec. 23.-The Her.
AIDS special cable from Caracas says:
Venezuela is making active preparations
for war, as the possible outcome of the
boundary dispute with Great Britain.
Four places between Caracas and La
Guayra have been fortified.
Mr.. Russell. Secretary of the American
legation, arrived in La Guayra yesterday.
He was given rousing reception, and a
cannon salute was fired in his honor
After the great mass-meetlng of citizens
in the Simon Bolivar plaza, called to
thank the President of the United States
for his message on the Monroe doctrine
and its application to the boundary dis
pute with Great Britain. the students of
the university visited Santa Inez to ask
President Crespo to arm the militia.
The President reblied to the delegation
that he was glad to see their display of
patriotism.
President Crespo says he has received
messages from the Governor of Lasa and
Miranda, saying that popular meetings
had been held to send thanks to President
Cleveland.
Venezuela has 5000 flas on hand for
the use of her soldiers
Mr.. Boulton, the consular agent for
Great Britain here, has needed the popu-
lar protests against Venezuelan acting in
such capacity for England and has re-
signed his Office.
Business firms are distributing circulars
in favor of commercial warfare, which
has already begun, upon all English
houses and English goods.
The Herald's dispatch from Panama
says: A magnificent demonstration in
honor of United States Consul General
Vimquain, as means of expressing their
appreciation of President Ceveland's mes
sage, was given last night by the citizens
of this city. Elaborate preparations had
been made and the affair was a success
equal to the highest expectations. En-

FRIENDS OF AMERICANS.
English Papers That Deplore the
War Sentiment

LONDON. ENG, Dec. 23.-The Pail Mall
Gazette to-day prints an article in refer
ence to the relations between Great Britain
and the United States in which it says:
1--WE are still friends of the Americans,
and as the excitement ebbs the tide of
sense returns. 1t is for every English in
fuence to spread calmer Thoughts and
build a golden bridge by which the former
kindness may return"
The Westminster Gazette, under the
caption, Thank Goodness for the HoIi-
days." protests against the infammatory
opinions published by the press, (which, -
it says, ''are breeding bad blood between
England and America and making
thoughts of war familiar to the most
peaceabIy inclined.
"There is plenty of room," declares the
Gazette, "for common-sense to be exerted
in England as well as in the United States
1t ought to be recognized that Americans
have warm attachment for the Monroe
doctrine and that there is good deal of
reason on their side"
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-24

Britain is allowed to gain possession of
800 square miles of land $500 miles away
she will use it as basis for operations to
push her acquisitions, such a statement
was ridiculous, and Mr.. Olney should not
be taken seriously. DIR. Abbott then ex-
planned that since the Napoleonic wars the
holy alliance was formed, to which Eng.
land would not be party, and she,
through her Minister, Canning, proposed
to the United States the true Monroe doc
trine when the holy alliance attempted to
fasten its fetters upon the New World. DR..
Abbott said that there was an irrational
prejudice against the mother country.
Henry George was the next speaker and
he ridiculed the idea of this country going
to war over something the country knew
nothing about.
"They are simply trying to divert pollti-
cal issues" he said. "They are trying to
hide the real condition of the country, the
condition of monopolies and trusts, from
the people"
He said that if we must go to war why
not go to war over something we knew
something about; that British Guiana was
hardly ever mentioned until few days
ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Bliss of Boston was intro
duced as Socialist Evangelist" and was
followed by Charles f. Adams and Frank
lin Pierce.
The latter read a letter from DR.. Heber
Newton in which he said he was glad that
American common-sense and conscience
was awakening in the past twenty-four
hours He deprecated civil war between
people of brother blood. He added: "If
England is big bully there is no reason
why America should be bigger bully"
The secretary then read the following
resolution, which was adopted:
ReSoIued, That the officers and speakers OF
this meeting be empowered to get the widest
expression of opinion IN opposition to that OF
war over the question of the Venezuelan boun-
dairy.
The meeting then came to close.
