RATES.
DISTANCE IN MILES.

In reply to question by Com missioner
La Rue Mr.. Smurr was unable to explain
why on the Union Pacific and Great North
ern roads rates were in most cases lower
than on the Southern Pacific, but said it
might be due to local competitive condi-
tons.
Commissioner La Rue further called at
tention to the fact that the comparisons
were simply for equal distances, but failed
to take into consideration the topograph-
ical conditions of the roads whose rates
were being compared. IN the case OF the
higher rates credited to the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company he showed
that this road ran over mountainous coun-
try, while the Southern Pacific Railroad
points were in valley lands.
Mr.. Smurr said he could not help this,
as he was simply comparing the rates on
grain shipping points of the respective
roads. When closely pressed, however, he
could not state positively grain was shipped
from all the points OF the roads being COM
pared with the Southern Pacific.
La Rue intimated that selections favor
able to the Southern Pacific had been
made, but this idea Mr.. Smurr indig-
nantly repudiated, saying he would fur
nish any comparisons that the Commits
sioners desired.
Commissioner Stanton moved for adj
journment, but before Chairman La Rue
put the motion he stated that he had asked
for statement showing the shipments of
grain from each station in the State. It
then developed that it had been delivered
TO Commissioner Stanton, who said he had
it at home for the purpose of studying it.
La Rue expressed surprise that he had not
received a copy, and Stanton explained
that he took it home to use In making
comparisons.
Adjournment was then taken until 10

PERSONAL OPINIONS.
NJ. to-day.

Estimates Of the Attitude Of Rail-
road Commissioner Stanton.
Dr.Stanton's attitude on the rate question,
as defined during the last two days in his
strenuous opposition to the La Rue resolu-
ton, is taken by good many people to
mean that no reduction will be possible
under the present board. Stewart Men
zies was asked yesterday what he thought
of the situation and the likelihood of a re-
duction after the manner proposed by DR..
Stanton. Mr.. Menzies replied as follows:
There are no words strong enough to
condemn this commission-that is, those
who are working in opposition to reduc-
ton, as promised by the convention
pledges. / confess that am not a little
surprised at the attitude of Stanton"
Max Pepper said: II made an honest
square fight against Stanton because he
was put up by Buckley and the railroad.
NY predictions have been verified. The
people can now see him for what he
is worth"
jeremiah Lynch said: "ft was known
in the convention beyond reasonable
doubt that Stanton was the railroad man.
1t was rumored that some of his votes cost
the Southern Pacific $3.50. 1t is the old
story. Why talk about it?"
Henry N. Clement said: "The commits
sion should be abolished. 1t is of no pos
sible use and needless expense to the
people of California"

HEALING THE GOVERNOR
A Stockton Celebrity Lays His
Hands on the Chief
Executive.
His Power to Diagnose Diseases Is
Much More Wonderful Than
His Cures.

Governor Budd's recent sudden change
for the better is automatically reported to
be due to the laying on of hands. The
dispatches have lately referred to the visit
to the sickroom of magnetic healer. This
magnetic healer is not professional, nor
is he man educated in medicine, but a
plain countryman, whose home for many
years has been on ranch near Stockton,
and who has attained a considerable repu-
tation for his peculiar power among the
people of the San Joaquin Valley.
Eyes, it is true" said Harbor Commits
sioner Colnon yesterday, that the Cover
nor is improving under the peculiar treat
ment of local celebrity in Stockton, who
has the reputation of effecting some re-
markable cures. He is known as DR..
Hohenscbell, though he is not a doctor.
His power of healing was discovered by
DR.. Asa Clarke of Stockton, who was
treating Hohenschell's father. The doc
tors medicine failed to give the patient
father, subjected him to treatment Of
rubbing with the hands. DR.. Clarke found
that this was no ordinary action, and that
the son possessed a peculiar and strange
power, which has since been practically
demonstrated.
The most extraordinary feature or his
power is his ability to diagnose a case, and
that-he does quite often by consulting
friend or relative of the patient while the
patient is in another town. He not only
diagnoses the diseases of men but of horses
as we'll. Trainer Marion had lame horse
in the Stanford string whose lameness
Marion could not locate. Hohenschell was
sent for, and without seeing the horse To-
Gated the trouble and d cure was effected"
But how about the Governors" was
asked.
"Oh, yes. Well the Governor was rest
less and could not sleep and was in bad
way generally. Some of his friends sug-
gested the DOCTOR, as we call him in
Stockton, and the Governors mother was
consulted. She agreed to the experiment
and Hohenschell was sent for. He laid on
his hands and the Governor slept. l am
satisfied he will receive great benefit from
the treatment, and as to the power of the
man who is treating him, can say from
personal knowledge of him that he is no
fraud healer"

SCIENTIFIC HANDBALL.
The First Rub in the Kilgallon-Bonnet
Match Played at the Occi-
dental Court


Every seat in the Occidental handbeil
court was occupied last night, the upper
gallery being crowded with ladies and
their escorts. Nearly all the prominent
handball players in the City were present.
The attraction was the first rub in the
match, the best of nine games, between T.
f, Bonnet, amateur, and NJ. j. Kilgallon,
professional, late of Denver The match
has been looked forward to with the great
est interest, from the fact that it was the
first time since Kilgallon since his arrival
in this City had played single-hand
game, and also from the fact that each
player had distinctive style of play.
Four games were played and the first
was the best of the lot. Both played their
best, and, as result, there were some
brilliant rallies that aroused the greatest
enthusiasm. Kilgallon won the game and
In the second be strove hard to repeat the
performance, but failed, Bonnet winning
handily. After a recess of five minutes
play was resumed and Bonnet had it all
his own way. Kilgallon seemed to have
pumped himself out in the first TWO games
and Bonnet, by keeping his head cool and
displaying splendid judgment, did not
give him moments rest, and kept him
hustling. In the third game Kilgallon
only got 2 aces and in the fourth l.
Both players were loudly cheered as
they shook hands at the conclusion of the
fourth game. The remaining games Will
be played next Wednesday night. P. T.
Donnelly, the amateur champion of the
coast, was referee. Following was the
score:

unattached to the regular service or the
National Guard except by permission of
the Governor.
Exceptions are made in favor of cadets
at military schools when under command
of their instructors, and of uniformed COM
panies of benevolent societies when the
men carry side arms. Beyond these ex-
ceptions the power of granting or with
holding permission to drill and parade is
left with the Governor absolutely, and he
has placed certain conditions upon the
granting of permits. He demands that
the company wishing to parade carry none
but the American flag. and that they take
the oath of allegiance to the State, as DO
the National Guardsmen.
1t is believed that there is a flaw in the
act which will invalidate it, and it will
also be contested on constitutional
grounds. The contesting societies do not
intend to take the oath, and the mode of
procedure will probably be to turn out as
formerly, and then under injunction pro-
ceedlngs bring the matter to the courts
The knights of the Red Branch are so
far the only ones who have come forward
to comply with the Governors order
They are now, as body, an adjunct to the
guard and are liable to military duty, just

THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR.
Liturgica1 vespers to Be Chanted by
Fifty Male Voices.

Liturgical vespers to Be Chanted by
Fifty Male Voices.
Sunday evening at 1880 o'clock the
solemn chant of the Gregorian vespers
will be again heard at st. Mary's Ca
thedral.
The male choir, under the direction of
Father Hannigan, has since it's first ap-
pearance two weeks ago been greatly in
creased, so that it numbers now over fifty
voices. 1t has been under constant drill,
and is prepared to render in full the
vespers proper to the day.
In the Catholic calendar each day of the
year is set aside for the honoring of some
particular saint or saints, and accordingly
each day has its own vesper service. The
feast of next Sunday is that of the COM
memoration of all the Roman pontiffs, and
the vesper service proper to the day is
specially solemn. It is this vesper service
that the choir will render, and in doing so
will have the distinction of being the first
chanters of liturgical vespers in San Fran
cisco.
The soloists of the evening will be
Messrs. Sandie, D. Deasy and H. Oman.

WHOSE PLAY Is IT?
Rose Coghlan and AL Hayman & Co.
Both Claim the Rights to ga Woman
of No ImDOrtance,

Al Bouvier, agent for AL Hayman & Co..
here, yesterday served notice on Friedlan-
der, Gottlob e. Co., managers of the Co.
lumbia Theater, that they claim all the
rights to the production of Oscar Wilde s
play, "a Woman of No Importance, and
gave warning that unless royalty of $1OO
a performance be paid they will enjoin the
managers of the Columbia from producing
it next week. The play has been adver-
tised for some time tor next week at the
Columbia.
Mr.. Friedlander, last evening, speaking
of the matter, said: 'Rose Coghlan
bought the rights to the exclusive produc-
ton of the play in the United States and
Canada and has been playing it several
years. She paid originally $4,000 in cash
and since has paid some $4,000 in royalties.
Upon what grounds AL Hayman & Co.
claim the rights to it's production in Cali
fornia l do not know. / can say, however.
that we shall produce the play, as adver--
tised, on Monday and run it the whole
week, even if we have to pay the royalties
to AL Hayman g. Co."

La Rue-Don't the same conditions exist IN
the East, and in stock-Taising sections, where
cars have to be returned empty?
Curtis-That is so largely, but coal Is some
times brought back in stockcars.
This concluded Mr.. Curtis examination,
and he was followed by General Freight
Agent Smurr, to whom Mr.. Curtis had SO
frequently referred the Commissioners.
After being sworn, Mr.. Smurr stated that
he had been twenty-eight years railroad
man, and twenty-three years in the employ
of the Southern Pacific Company-in the
freight department chiefly. His part in
the performance was simply to submit ana
explain various statements OF comparative
rates. Some of the more important COM
PARSONS made are shown in the following

as the guardsmen are. The possibility OF
their being called out, however, is very
remote one for two reasons.
Being merely an adjunct to the guard,
they cannot be called out until the entire
guard is in the field, and then, as most of
the members are already in the militia or
CARNATIONS, most of the company will be in
the field anyway.
'sThe men took the oath as a matter OF
course" said DR.. O'Neill, the company
surgeon, yesterday. "Those of US not born
here took the same oath anyway when we
became citizens, and it is an oath any citi-
zen might to be glad to take. As for the
flag, the American flag is good enough for
US. We don't want to carry any other"

Escaping Gas in the Occidental Hotel
Nearly Ends the Lives of Guests.
Two ladies came very near losing their
lives by gas asphyxiation yesterday morn
ing at the Occidental. They were Miss
Belle Warren of Riverside and Mrs. HI. C,
Stoenfeltz of Lancaster, Pa. They had ar.
rived at the hotel on Tuesday and were
given room 1876. Yesterday morning at S
o'clock the odor of esca ping gas was no
ticed by the Waterman as coming from
their room.
The ladies were found unconscious, and
DIR. Norris, who was called in. said that in
an hour longer they would have been
dead. AS it was, they were not restored to
consciousness for long time. They were
getting on very we'll last evening.
The cause of the escape of the gas was a
defective gas-burner and the turning on of
the gas after it was put out.

tendent W. G.. Van Week and General
Passenger Agent S. f. B. Morse, of the At

regard to train schedules. 1t is q custom
to hold such meeting annually, but this
is the first time it has been held here.
A time schedule for the Sunset Limited

He had five sons and one daughter. AZ
grandchildren and 22 great grandchild-

he lived and died would hardly contain
his family.
The more than a century of life,
which he divided between this country
and ireland, where he was born, Is
marked by no remarkable events. He
was born and passed As years in Coun-
ty Cavan, Ireland, 1890. His life and
politics and relations were as regular
as clockwork. ell was a regular demo
crat. Had he lived he would have gone
to the polls to-day and put a cross in
a little circle over the regular demo-
cratic ticket, passed in his ballot and
gone home without a word TO anyone
about 1t.
He was a regular attendant at St,
Josephs church. He never held public
office, but followed the BUSINESS of a
grocer until he had acquired, through
thrift and through the raise in property
values around him, enough to retire
and live comfortably the rest of his life.
He owned a little square of land that
now forms a public park at Washing
ton and Underhin avenues. This he sold
to the city. He was ali one time a well
known contractor. His sons are in busl-
