It WAS CALIFORNIA FISH,
Amount of Salmon and Striped
Bass Handled in the
Market Here.
Chief Deputy Babcock Selects the
Site for a Hatchery on
Battle Creek.

Chief Deputy Fish Commissioner John
P. Babcock has returned from Battle
Creek, whittier he went to inspect site
for salmon hatchery which the commits
sion contemplates establishing there.
The site for the hatchery has been To-
Gated on Frank Loves property where
Battle Creek empires into the Sacramento
River, and near what is known as the
"Schoolhouse Rifle All the water
rights have been secured by Mr.. Babcock
and the leases are ready to be signed, the
only thing remaining to be settled being
the question of expense.
1t is proposed to put up building 80 by
40 feet and OF 100000 capacity, and
r. H. Bierce of Red Bluff, the engineer and
contractor, was there yesterday engaged in
running lines, driving stakes for the ditch
which is to convey the water to the build
ing and marking the ground to be exca-
waited. He is TO prepare an estimate OF
the cost, and Mr.. Babcock expects to re-
ceive this estimate in day or two. Then
if the figures come within the means at
the commissions disposal work will at
once begin with a view to having the
hatchery in operation by September 25.
Mr.. Babcock said yesterday:
The Sacramento River Gamers have agreed
to give $500 toward covering the cost of this
hatchery, and it would be good thing If the
marketmen would do something, too.
The salmon handled in the San Francisco
market during 1894, by eight of the principal
wholesale dealers, amounted to grand total
of 2,554650 pounds This is the result of a
computation from figures right from their own
books, gathered every month, and the amount
represents salmon from California waters ex-
clusively, and does not include salmon from
Oregon or Puget Sound, nor the fish put up by
the Gamers. 1t was all disposed of fresh in the
market here.
Besides these eight dealers there are num-
books in such shape that reliable figures can
be obtained from them, SO that the true total
OF fresh California salmon sold here during the
year would be much greater.
August was the biggest month of the year
and October came next. There will be, prob
ably, falling off of figures this year now that
October has been added to the close season
The salmon run generally begins after August
Is, and is very heavy during September and
October. We found a mans net in the Sacra-
mento River on September 20 which had been
and yet there were eighty fish in it. If boat
could catch forty fish day during the open
season 1t would greatly exceed the average.
l have some interesting figures, too, on
striped bass. In 1898 there were $4,000
pounds handled here, and last year 143, 600
pounds. Yet all this was the product of 45O
small fish brought here from the East, and is
unquestionably the most startling example OF
introduced fish in the world.
In 1879 the commission imported from the
East $50 fingerlings, and in 1882 1t brought
here 800 more. These $50 fish were placed in
the San Joaquin River, between Antioch and
Jersey Landing.

vagrancy.
''I can get any case in there squared by
giving Mogan a dollar or two," said B. N
Wasserwitz to two or three friends who
were standing in the corridor outside
Judge Conlan's courtroom yesterday
morning.
One of them, who is a friend of Prosecut-
ing Attorney Mogan, informed him of the
statement made by Wasserwitz.
The Prosecuting Attorney informed
Judge Conlan, who at once instructed
Bailiff Kelly to place Wasserwitz under
arrest. Wasserwitz was taken to the City
Prison and booked on the charge of va
attributed to him. Bailiff Kelly will
swear to complaint against him in the
morning.
Prosecuting Attorney Mogan was highly
indignant at the aspersion cast upon him.
He said he scarcely knew Wasserwitz and
did not think he had ever spoken to him
in his life.
"These grafters," said Judge Conlan,
"are worse than bunko-steerers, and am
determined to make an example of them.
They prey upon friends of people who are
arrested by pretending they have influence
with the Judge or Prosecuting Attorney,
and obtain money from them to help
them in working that influence. Wasser-
WITT has been hanging around the courts,
but he is not as bad as many of them who
make it a business to be in the corridor
every day. THE CALLS attacks upon them
drove them away for few days, but they
are as bad as ever"

THE CIRCUS SATURDAY.
All Preparations for It's Advent-Night
Street Parade.


Street Parade.
In order to make room enough to accommo-
date the enormous big tents OF the Great Syndi-
cate Circus, which opens for a nine days sea-
son next Saturday afternoon, Mr.. McNeill has
agreed to remove the bicycle track now in Gen.
trail Park, and it is already in process of demo-
lition.
Every inch of the spacious grounds viii be
required to accommodate the exhibition tents
of the Syndicate Circus, which uses the largest
tents ever erected on the Pacific Coast. On
the occasion of the present trip to the coast
the Syndicate Circus is much larger than any
that has heretofore visited California. 1t re-
quires four magnificent advance cars in
which to transport its large
sary to herald the advent of the big
show. The circus itself uses three special
trains of seventy-foot cars. One train consists
of the sleeping cars, containing the performers,
the second of the horse and elephant and camel
cars, while the third train is used to transport
the cages containing the animal and baggage
wagons, carrying the paraphernalia and tents.
Each train travels at q rate of speed necessary
to insure the prompt arrival atthe point of ex-
hibiton and follow each other at intervals OF
about twenty minutes. The amount paid out
daily to the railroads for transportation is said
to be something enormous.
The circus opens next Saturday afternoon,
August II, but the great free street parade oc-
ours on Friday evening next, and will be bril-.
liantly and magnificently illuminated. The
parade will start out from Central Park
promptly at dark. All of the animal-cages,
massive, gilded tableau cars, gorgeously
carved ehariots and richly decorated musical
wagons will be emblazoned with electric and
calcium lights and colored fires in profusion
Over 300 horse and 200 people will be utilized
in the procession. The route OF march will be
from the park down Mission to New Montgom.

C. P HUNT|NGTON'S HAND,
Great Battle for Atlantic and
Pacific Separate Re-
ceivership.
a a THE ATcH1soN OPPOSITION.
Vast Array OF Legal Talent AS
sembied at albuquerque,
New Mexico.

An application of the bondholders of
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad for the
appointment of receiver separate from
the receiver of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe may mean more to California,
and especially to Los Angeles and San
Diego, than is now estimated.
The application is on hearing before the
the court in Albuquerque, N. Mex. Sim
liar applications will be made in Arizona
and California If the motion is granted in
New Mexico.
The dispatches from Topeka last week
announce that George R. Peck, general
solicitor of the Atchison, c. N. Sterry,
general attorney of the Atlantic and Pa
cific, E. D. Kenna, general attorney OF the
St. Louis and San Francisco. w. W. Green,
attorney of the Mercantile Trust Company
of New York, w. HI. Rossington and
Charles Blood Smith, attorneys for the
United Union Trust Company and the
Santa Fe reorganization committee, were
on their way to Albuquerque.
Capital to the amount of $120, 0OO, 900 Is
represented by the interests assembled in
New Mexico. The Territory, according to
private advices received in San Francisco,
is in state Of great agitation.
ton for a separate receivership which no
one seems able to fathom. The Atlantic d
Pacific extends from Albuquerque, n. NJ,
to Mojave, Cal. Operated by the Atchlson
it is link in the transcontinental chain
having western connections with Los An
geles and San Diego and San francisco in
California, and eastern connections in New
Mexico with st. Louis, Kansas City and
Chicago.
1t is argued that if the road leases the
Atchison it must be operated in connec-
ton with some other system. The fact is
pointed out that there is no other road
which could operate the line except the
Southern Pacific.
Men who are well informed and get their
railway data from high sources in New
York, suspect that G. P. Huntington has
lantic and Pacific bondholders to break
away from the Atchison.
1t is believed that if Huntington could
get control of the road he could shut out
the Atchison from California and advance
rates from this State to Ell Paso and Ogden.
In this manner he could maintain the At
lantic and Pacific as an abandoned line for
through business and compel California
shippers to pay the interest on It's bonds
by excessive tolls on the Southern Pacific.
1t is further argued that the opportunity
of the Valley road making Eastern con-
nections at Mojave would be removed.
Huntington would hold the road from
Moiave to Albuquerque and dictate his own
terms.
Whatever may be the real motive behind
the application for separate receivershlp
the fact stands out clearly that one of the
greatest railway battles of the decade is
being fought in New Mexico at the time
that some powerful interest is opposing
the reorganiZed Atchison.

THE GRAND JURY.
Fire Marshal Towe Presents Informa-

Fire Marshal Towe Presents Informa-
ting Regarding an Incendiary Fire.
The Grand Jury held another session
Yesterday afternoon and received assur-
ances from the authorities that the orders
to remove all distractions from the side
walks would be enforced
Fire Marshall Towe went before the jury
and submitted information to the effect
that recent fire on Greenwich street was
incendiary 1t is expected that indictments
will soon follow.
The Hale & Norcross mining matters
were not considered at the session yester-
day.
A report that Calderon, the Salvadoran
Consul under the new Government of that
country, had been called before the jury is
premature. Mr.. Casin, who was chal-
ienged on the street, is friend OF Ezeta.
He is a rich man, but much of his property
has been confscated by the present Gov
eminent of Salvador. When he was chal-
lenged he told Calderon to get out from
behind policeman and fight as he stood,
because there was law in this country
against fighting duels. Calderon reflected
on Casin in Spanish. Casin returned the
fire of his antagonist in both English and
Spanish.

GOLDTREE TO CONTEST.
Opposed to Compromise of the Liti-
CATION Between the Pacific and
Peoples Home Banks.

Peoples Home Banks.
Nathan Goldtree has filed notice that he
will apply to Judge Hebbard for an order
restraining the Peoples Home Savings
Bank from selling or transferring any
property.
He viii base the application on the affi-
davit of Attorney T. C. Spelling that the
Peoples Bank has entered into fraudu-
lent agreement with the Pacific Bank
whereby there will be transferred to the
latter institution certificates of deposit
amounting to $500 900, coupons of the Los
Angeles Consolidated Electric Railway
Company. amounting to $3.50; guaran-
tees of the Pacific Bank. amounting to
1895, 600; Pacific Bank stock to the amount
OF $50 shares, and a release of all claims,
actions and demands.
This transfer is according TO the COM
promise in the Supreme Court, as pub
llshed in THE CALL last week, and it is in
consideration of fifty-two coupons of the
Phoenix Water Company, valued at 1880,
railroad bonds valuad at $4,000, $4,000
mortgage and deed to the Pacific Bank
property on the corner of Sansome and
Pine streets
Mr.. Spelling recites that the Peoples
Bank already had a judgment of fore
closure against this real estate in excess OF
Its value, and he says that the People s
Bank will, unless restrained, enter salts
faction of the judgment and sell the real
estate at a sacrifice, and the Pacific Bank
will, unless restrained, dispose of all the
personal property and distribute the pro-
ceeds among its creditors.

THE REVOLT IN BOHEMIA.
President P1att Says That the Owl Is
Unruff1ed.

President Platt Says That the Owl Is
Unruffied.
The eruption in the Bohemian Club,
according to President Horace Plat, is
merely a temblor and is not of any great
magnitude either as distributor of verbal
lava or as shaker of cities.
I'VE are not the least bit disturbed" he
said last night, "nor have we anything to
say in response to the newspaper articles
that have appeared from time to time.
''As to the various members who saw fit
to start or propose to start another club,
we have no fear. l do not believe they will
be so foolish as to cut off their noses, and
that's what it means to leave the Bohemian
Club. I think there must be some mis-
take as to the number. l have already re-
ceiyed letters from two parties who were
said to have left US, and they most en-
phatically deny having done SO. Aside
from that cannot see the necessity OF a
lengthy discussion, and we prefer to let
the entire matter drop. There is but one
Bohemian Club and the owl is still perched
at the head of the stairway with unruffied
feathers

Fourth and Fifth. Hines testified that
on August 5 Hallett and Warren cap
tured setter pup belonging to him. He
seized hold of the net and demonstrated
with them. Hallett drew his club and
raped him over the knuckles with it, and
then broke it over his head.
The Judge held Hallett to answer before
the Superior Court in $500 bonds and dis
missed the case against Warren. 1.-THE
fact that these poundkeepers are special
officers said the Judge, docs not warrant
them in using clubs. The man who resists
a poundkeeper in the execution OF his duty
should be arrested, but club should be
welded with discrimination and only as a
last resort"
