SON AGAINST, FATHER
Rash Threats Said to Have Been Made by
the Boy

the boy 1t
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1t.-In the
SANDER case of A. SpneckeIs against
his father, Claus S reckels, dispositions
were taken Wednesday and an effort was
made to show the plaintiff had attempted
to blackmail Il. J. Searles of the sugar
trust by threats to start an opposition re-
tinery in Philadelphia after his father
had sold out to the trust but plaintiff
denied he had ever made such an attempt
and detailed "A conversation he had with
+. J. Searles ia reference to the PROPOSE
ton made to the witness by Philadel-
phian, who had proposed the establish
ment of an opposition refinery. In refer
ence to the Insinuation that the witness
had not accounted for the 81 250, 900 re-
ceived for the sugar trust deal, there was
offered a copy OF the letter sent by j.
Glenn Uhler 10 Claus Spreckels as mana
ger of the Philadelphia refinery, that he
had accounted for $780, 900 more than
Spreckes sugar refinery was entitled to.
One item of the account presented by
Z. a. Spreckels was for $75. 900, the CON-
mission on $1,0000o0 borrowed by him
from the Seligmans when the Phildel-
phian needed money. Young Spreckles
declared that $S06 706. % bad been paid
into the corporation to bring the capital
of the concern up TO 50, 600, 600. He had
paid 500. 900 to the United States Trust
company of New York to redeem capital
for the elder Spreckels; he had sent SidO, l67
to California; s75, GOO had been paid AS
commission to the person who had nb-
tanned ior the sugar king a loan of $1,000,
600; $500 had been paid to the United
States Trust company to act as trustees;
$3.50, 600 appearing in the record had never
been received. but had been credited to
the account of Claus Spreckels and
charged to Havemeyer and Searles. This
made total of 81, l64, ,0l0, leaving still
$50 900, to be accounted for by the young
man. This was covered by S73, S92 for
interest and $4,000 for sundry small items,

capable of doing the right thilg at the
right time. 1t delights The Herald to
lend its endorsement to any public officer
who meets the expectations of the people
in the way that our Governor has thus
far done. regardless of his politics and the
fact that Mr.. Budd is Democrat in no
way diminishes our pleasure. If the press
OF the day would more frequently sustain
officials when they are right and con-
denim them when wrong there would be
all added incentive to official rectitude
and a proportionate deterrent to official
delinquency.

GOVERNOR BUDD's SUCCESS

For once at least the Democratic party
negatived their opponents favorite taunt,
that as political organization it can al
ways be trusted to do the wrong thing
at the right time" And that was when
it placed its hopes in the candidacy and
Budd. AS the sole Democratic sur
vivor of the November cyclone he proved
his political strength; by his intelligent
and conscientious performance of official
duties he is demonstrating his guberna-
torial ability. From the day that Cover
nor Budd assumed the functions of his
Office to the present he has exhibited a
clear conception of his work as the state
executive and handled with a strong, firm
grasp and broad compre hension the issues
confronting him. 1t is evident by his
public acts and utterances that the cove
nants made by his party and himself
with the people of California are to be
honored in so far as the power of redemp.
tion lies with him. and that those pledges
and his own keen sense of equity are to
be the guiding stars of his administra-
tion. While, OF course, honest differences
OF opinion regarding the merits of some
Of the bills enacted by the last legislature
and vetoed by the governor will exist, and
rejected applicants for appointve offices be
.sappointed, the calm and dspassionate
judgment of the people will agree that in
the main the Governor has done right.
That in his vetoes he had in view, and
subserved the interests of the whole STATE ;
that in his appointments he has kept in
mind the doctrine of Grover Cleveland
that public Office is public trust and
the gentlemen upon whom he has be-
slowed the responsibilities of official place
have with very rare exceptions been men
OF character and peculiar fitness for the
duties imposed upon them. With the

THAT ELECTRIC ROAD.
Freight Will Be Taken From New Yorl

Freight Will Be Taken From New York
to Chicago in Ono Day.
CHICAGO, April T. The Interocean
Electric Railway Company Incorporated
at Springfield yesterday proposes to
make some decided changes in the pres
ent method of freight transportation.
The company has capital stock OF
5000, ZOO. 900, the largest ever incorpor-
ated in the West, and number OF Chi
cago, New York and San Francisco capt.
talists are interested in the corporation.
The intention is to construct an elevated
electric railway between Chicago and
New York for the transportation OF coal
and grain. The plans and specifications
have been drawn by Chicago engineer,
and the company owns a mum Der OF
patents on electrical devices to be used
bv the road. John w. King, one OF the
incorporators and attorney for the new
company, said yesterday:
"The road is decided step in advance
of the electrical roads operated at pres
emit. Electricity is cheaper as motive
power than steam and renders much
higher rate of speed possible. BY ele-
waiting our road we expect to do away
with the necessity of buying right-of-
way, and all delays incident to surface
traffic will be avoided. At present it
takes six days for freight to travel from
Chicago to New York. On the new road
the trip will take one. The road will
have it's own telegraphs and telephone
lines, and it is proposed in time to ex-
tend the line to San Francisco. A mum,
Der of Americans, and, l think, several
foreign capitalists, are interested IN the
road, and building operations Will oegin
soon. A number of new Inventions In
electrical transportation will be used by
the road, but am not at liberty to dis
close their nature. The capital, while
large, is not out of proportion to the
business we expect to do, but l cannot
at present give the names OF any OF the
persons interested"

TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
A"" mexico and Guatemala Adjusted
Their Differences

WASHINGTON, April 4.-From unof-
nclal advices reaching Washington the
general terms of the agreement signed
yesterday, by which the war between
Mexico and Guatemala was avoided. are
substantially known. Mexico's demand
was IN the form of an ultimatum sent
by Secretary Mariscal November 81.
embracing the following points:
First, Mexico asks satisfaction for in
1uries received by the invasion of her
territory, and for vexations by foreign
ers, of Mexicans cutting wood in the
forests of Aqua Azula, Egypt, San Mich
olas and San Pedro; second, Mexico
also demands pecuniary indemnity for
damages sustained; third, Mexico also
demands indemnity for the expenses of
moDllzlng her troops and stationing
authorities and employees in suitable
places to preserve the public security on
the frontier; fourth, Mexico asks that
the labors OF the boundary commission,
In accordance with the treaty of 1882.
be speedily concluded, said treaty not
being open to discussion.
1t is understood $4,000, 900 was the
amount of the indemnity demanded by
Mexico; also, that she insisted on Qua
temala's dismissing her surveyor gen.
eral, who took part in locating the
boundary January IL.
Guatemala answered the ultimatum.
The answer was pacific in tone, but did
not concede to Mexico the right to the
territory desigated in the ultimatum.
nor the right to fix cash indemnity.
The final negotiations are compromise
between the ultimatum and the reply.
1t is believed Mexico has agreed to ar
bltrate the amount of the cash indem-
nifty, instead of exacting 100000 as
first claimed. Senior Romero, Mexican
minister, has been kept advised of the
negotiations, but is not yet in position
to make public the exact terms which
averted war. President Diaz has an
nounced that the terms will be COM
municated to congress later.
The peace agreement is regarded as of
far reaching Importance to the Central
American states, which expected during
the last six months to be plunged into
deadly struggle. The Mexican army and
navy had been preparing for a conflict,
and calculations had been made as to
where troops would be landed in Qua
temala. The Mexican army numbers
"a 1888 on peace footing, with 10000
available on war footing. The Guate-
malalan army numbers 5000 on peace
footing. The agreement now affected
puts an end to active war preparat ~ls.
Senior Arriaga, the Guatemalan min
lister, docs not know yet the details of
the arrangements signed yesterday be-
tween his country and Mexico, but he
has received from Gutemalan Minister
de Leon, in that city the following tel
egram:
"TEe definite settlement of our diff
culties with Mexico was signed to-day.
Conditions honorable and satisfactory
to both countries"

THE PREACHER SUED.
SANDER May Be Perpetrated in the Form
of Prayer.

SANDER May Be Perpetrated in the Form
of Prayer.
Los ANGELES, April 3.-Judge Clark
to-day overruled the demurrer inter-
posed by the Rev. J. G. Campbell in the
suit charging him with slandering Miss
Tesa L. Kalso, the librarian of the Los
Angeles public library. The basis of the
action was a prayer offered by the de-
PENDANT before his congregation in the
First Methodist church, in which he
said:
20, Lord vouchsafe Thy saving grace
to the librarian of the Los Angeles city
library, and cleanse her of all sin, and
make her a woman worthy OF her Of
fce."
The reverend gentleman in his de-
murrer took the position that his state,
ment was privileged. The court held
that a SANDER can be perpetrated in the
form of a prayer as readily as In any
other form of speech, and no commune
cation made by parson or priest to his
congregation is privileged because OF
such relation, unless perhaps, when
made in the discharge of his pastoral
duties with one subject to this discipline
of the church, and then only unless
made without malice.
