Offer of Stockton CitIZens TO Have the
Line Enter Their City.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-A delega-
ton from the Stockton Commercial Asso-
citation conferred with the Board of Di-
rectors of the San Francisco aud San
Joaquin Valley Railroad to-day in this
city, in regard to the agreement through
which the railroad gets 100000 and rights
of way from Stockton harbor through
that city, and thence to the line of Stanis-
laus County, free, and the enterprising
people OF San Joaquin's capital receive q
guarantee of O competing railroad from
County.
The agreement was considered by the
committee and board during the after
noon. Some changes were made 10 suit
both parties 10 the contract. and finally
The agreement was unanimously accepted.
Ali that now remains TO be done is to Sc
cure the signature of the directors and
the Stockton committee.
President Claus Spreckels and Direct
ors Watt and Payson, who returned from
the San Joaquin Valley to attend the
meeting, said they were very deeply i'm
pressed with the condition OF affairs all
along the route. The other directors will
go down the valley in few days and
make an inspection of the country lying
south of the Stanislaus River, and when
they return some action will be taken on
the route To bakersfield.

ment she will be enabled to establish a
sovereignty over the territory, and thus
control the future development of the
canal and of the traffic that may pass
through it.
81 believe Congress, at its next session,
will, If nothing shall be done meanwhile
by authorized powers now in authority,
effectually and finally stop the aggres-
sions of Great Britain, and absolutely
prevent her gaining foothold in this
most important point on the American
continent. l think there is enough spirit
in the American people to put stop TO
this proceeding. Great Britain is not go-
ing to stop it OF her own volition. Some
body must step in and be disagreeable,
and this seems to be very good oDpor-
tunity for the United States to assume
that role"
CANNOT FORCIBLY COLLECT MONEYS DUE
To INDIVIDUALS.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Alth0ugh the
State Department has sanctioned the
principle of the right Of q European ma
ton to collect an indemnity for national
insult offered to it by an American ma
ton, or to secure redress for the abuse or
lll-treatment OF it's citizens and infringe
ments on their property rights, it can
safely be predicted that it will not, under
any circumstances, permit any European
Governmental to attempt, by the display of
force, to collecl moneys owing by the
South or Central American States to in
dlviduals on account Of moneys loaned.
In 1881 Secretary Blaine wrote to
United States Minister Noyes at Paris, at
q time when the French Government was
about to undertake demonstration
against Venezuela to force that country
10 meet payments to French bondholders
on account Of the national debt, that the
United States would regard with grave
anxiety any attempt on the part OF France
10 force. by hostile pressure, The payment
10y Venezuela of her debt to French citi-
zens. And even before this the doctrine
had been we'll established, notwithstand-
ing the pressure that was brought TO bear
by the great financial centers of Europe
10 have their Governments undertake the
collection Of debts owing them.
Therefore, there is no ground for appre-
hension of torcible attempt by the Brit
ish to collect debts by Honduras 10 Brit
lsh bondhOlders on account OF the Gov
ernment loan, and this sans doctrine may
be at this time great comfort to many OF
the small republics of this hemisphere
that have been obliged by the stress Of
hard times and revolutions to default in
the payment of interest and principal of
their national debts.
The position taken by the State Depart
ment is that there is no rule of interna-
tional law authorizing the use of force to
collect individual debts, and that persons
who take bonds issued on account OF the
national debts OF an American Repub blic
must take the chance of their collection
In the ordinary way, putting themselves

LONDON, April 30.-The Times to-mor-
row will publish dispatch from Kobe
saying that the foreign warships are as
sembling at the various ports of japan
and that the French vessels have been
ordered to prepare for emergencies. The
situation in the Orient is becoming de-
cidedly serious. The European powers
appear determined to prevent the ratifi-
cation of the treaty between Japan and
China.
Japan on the other hand is threatened
with widespread rebellion if she ac-
cedes to the concessions demanded. The
Japanese recently replying to COM
municatiOn from the Russian Govern
ment announced that backdown at this
time would be suicidal in the face of the
war spirit now prevailing within the
borders Of the Mikado's realm.
1t is feared that the persistence of Japan
in regard to the treaty may lead to hos
tilities between European powers and the
Japanese.
The Times will also publish dispatch
from IL obe, dated April 26th, saying there
is no mistaking the fact that there is evil
dence OF serious crisis in the relations
between Japan ana Russia. But the
Japanese press mas Doeu IOrDluQeD TO re-
fer to it. and four newspapers OF Toxic,
including the selni-otficial Nichi Nich9,
have been suspended for reporting the
fact that a secret council of Ministers
was held. The other newspapers in
which reference TO the crisis appeared are
dcfaced.
Continuing, the correspondent says:
Now information reaches me from re-
liable source at Hiroshima that the Min
istry has adopted resolute attitude
against Russian dictation. They deny
Russia's right to interfere, and even con-
template a defiance OF Russia believing
the Russian military forces in the East
are not powerful enough to enforce her
demands"
A dispatch to the Times from Hongkong
says: A British warship has gone TO the
Pescadore Islands to bring the Times COR
respondent and another who were de-
tanned there by the Japanese to prevent
them sending dispatches regarding the
ina ssacre which is said to have occurred
at the Chinese garrison at that place.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The Secretary
of the Treasury received from Special
Agents Johnstown and Beane at Boise
City, Idaho, report of the results of their
investigation in the alleged frauds in con-
uection with the entry Of Chinese into
this country. The report states that the
Investigation shows conclusively that
there has been for several years past an
organized money-making conspiracy
with a view to manufacturing certificates
upon which Chinese laborers may be en-
abled to visit China and return to the
United States as bona fide merchants. In
the majority of the cases the so-called
merchants were found 10 be cooks and
gardeners employed in or near Boise
City. Nevertheless, large mber of
prominent citizens have vouched for the
Chinese as merchants. The special agents
are convinced that the business has been
carried on as a money making scheme.
The Grand Jury failed, however, to bring
in indictments against any of the parties.

The record-union., 1895-05-01

Why should England be more unwill-
ing to regulate our custom dues than to
regulate our foreign relations and govern
our financial policy? You have made
great progress in re-establishlng the
statu quo which existed prior to the rash
and unreasonable conduct of our ances-
tors in l776. and in abrogatiDg the un-
natural restrictions found in that instru-
ment of insubordination, known as the
Constitution of the United States.
The folly of the provisions in that in
strument, inaugurating an independent
financial policy, is no more apparent
than the wicked and absurd provision
authorizing the duties on imports. Your
success in eliminating from the Constltu-
tion the insolent assumption OF an lnde-
pendent financial policy for the United
States inspires reasonable hope that
you may be able in the near future not
only TO render absolute that other pre-
posterous assumption found in the pre-
tended authority in the aforesaid insub-
ordinate Instrument to raise revenues
by duties on imports, but also to remove
every other unnatural obstruction to the
legal authority OF Great Britain TO
manage and control our domestic affairs
from the same magnanimouS and disin-
terested motives that it manages and con-
trols its own foreign affairs.
The people of these misguided colonies
look to you and you alone for deliver
ance from all the calanities resulting
from the misconduct OF our rebellious
ancestors, requiring of us only such acts
of penitence and submission as will heal
the wounds, remove the animosities and
restore the cordial relations which once
existed, and still ought to exist, between
people OF the same blood and lineage.
Do not be discouraged by the crazy
clamor" of unthinking "cranks' for an
independent financial policy, or of an in
dependent foreign policy for the United
States. but continue TO regard such unrea-
sonable contentious as resulting from
narrow prejudice, engendered by
such rebels, fanatics and anarch-
lists as Washington. Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and
their deluded followers. Cease to be as
tonished at the unreasonable opposition
of the Senate to your beneticent policy,
and continue to treat with contempt the
vile insinuations OF improper motives in
discounting bonds to the Rothschilds to
secure protection and prosperity for our
beloved country. Keep an eye single to
the glory and renown and imperishable
name you will leave to posterity by
achieving union of 125. .000 600 of Eng
lish-speaking people, under the benign
and unselfish rule OF the British crown.
Yours respectfully,

A BIG DEFICIT.
Receipts of the Treasury Not Sufficient

Receipts of the Treasury Not Sufficient
to Meet the Liabilities.
WAsHINGToN, April 30.-The treasury
receipts during the month ended to-day
have not met the expectations of the Off
cials, and the indications now are that
the deficit at the end OF the fiscal year
will be little, if any less. than $40, 100000.
The receipts for the month OF April
amount to s24 247 1856, and the expendi-
lures to S32,952. 500, leaving a deficit for
the month Of ssS,704, ,S54. aud for the fiscal
year TO date, s45, ,247 900.
The receipts from internal revenue
show falling off for April, as compared
with the same month in 1894, of more
than 100000, and falling off for the ten
months of the fiscal year of about S2, ,000,-
coo. During the remaining two months
of the fiscal year there will be no extra
ordinary expenditures. The pension
payments will amount to about 81, ,000,-
600, and 81 ,2o0000 will be repaid on inter
est account. The net result of the year
is not expected to differ materially from
to-day's figures. and yet in making this
estimate considerable revenue from the
income tax is anticipated.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-The evil
dence in the preliminary examination OF
Theodore Durrant for the murder OF
Minnie Williams is all in, and Police
Judge Conlan will deliver his opinion
next Thursday morning. He denied, for
the time being, motion of defendants
counsel to dismiss the case. and also re-
fused to admit Durrant to bail.
When Durrant was taken to the COURT
room to-day he looked pale and worn,
his confinement apparently beginning 10
tell upon his health. DR.. j. >. Barrett,
who performed the autopsy on the body
of Minnie Williams, was on the stand,
and was cross-eXamined for hours by the
defense. He stated that Miss Williams
died from asphyxiation and hemorrhage
by the severing of arteries in her wrists.
Other wounds in various parts OF her
body were inflicted after death.
c. L. Hill testified that man re-
8ambling Durrant met woman answer
ing Miss Williams descripao near En-
manuel Church on Good Friday night,
walked rapidly down the street, and dis
appeared inside the dark church. He
watched them intently, because at first
he thought the woman was his wife,
keeping an appointment with another
man. When he went home, however, ne
tound his wife there. He examined the
entrances and exits of the churcn next
day. and found that the pair could not
have LETT the church while he watched
and have escaped his observation.
