He Shot His Superior and Was in Turn
Shot by a Police Justice.
San Diego, August 1.-Antonio Bau-
net, collector of customs at San Quen-

Baunet had charge of the custom
house at San Quentin, Barroso being
his inspector. Yesterday morning they
were at Rosario looking after contra
band goods. While in the office of
Justice Espinoza, Baunet asked Barroso
to take telegram to San Quentin.
Barroso refused, and a quarrel follow
ed, and Barroso snatched rifle which
stood in the corner and shot Baunet in
the back, killing him instantly. JUS
tiee Espinoza attempted to arrest Bar
roso. but the latter drew pistol and
fred several shots at the Justice, none
taking effect. Espinoza then grappled
pom from him, every chamber of which
had been emptied. Barroso swore he
would have Espinoza's life. The latter
then ran out to the Office. secured a
rifle, and coming back shot Barroso
dead in his tracks. The bodies of both
Baunet and Barroso were placed in a
wagon and taken to San Quentin. JUS
tice Espinoza accompanied them and
surrendered himself.

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Subject Discussed at the International
Geographical Congress.

Subject Discussed at the International
Geographical Congress.
London, July 31.-The session today
of the international geographical con-
gress was opened with the description
of polar expeditions. Mr.. Neumeyer
and Joseph Hooker, survivor OF the
Arctic expedition headed by Sir John
Ross in 1898, urged that fresh ex-
petitions be equipped, and DR.. Muir
ray, leader of the Challenger expedi-
ton, argued in support of the theory
that the Arctic continent was sue
cession of volcanic islands, and that
investigation of the Antarctic ocean
ought to be undertaken by the nations
of the world, and as a result of private
enterprise. A small committee was
appointed to draft resolution in favor
of further examinations.
There was small attendance at to-
days session. According to general
opinion, the paper read by General
Greeley was too technical to be popu-
lar. Most of the interest of the day
was conferred in paper read by M. S.
Tandre, proposing balloon route to
the North Pole. The idea seemed feas-
ible as proposed by the explorer. The
only difficulty appeared to be how to
make sufficient gas for the expedition.
Then, again, prominent geographers
seemed to think that the proposition
would fail without the use of boats,
and a large amount of provisions to
rely upon in case of accident. The
general impression of the congress,
however, was that the proposition
lacked practical application.

BACK FROM LIBERIA.
How the Negroes Who Emigrated From
the South Jared.

How the Negroes Who Emigrated From
the South Jared.
Philadelphia, August AT the
Wayfarers' lodge, Lombard street,
homesick and destitute, are three ne
groes from Arkansas, who have return
ed from Liberia, whittier they went as
colonists some time ago. OF nearly a
hundred companions in the expedition,
some are said to have died of starvation
and others are eking out a wretched
existence in Africa. The three men are
farmers of Jefferson county, Arkansas.
They say the International Emigration
Society, of Birmingham, Ala, offered
$50 acres of land to every colonist and
used as an Endorsement the name of
Bishop II. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga.
The subscribers were required to pay
$400 in advance by installments and
their passage to Savannah. In return
they were given their passage, food and
the land on arrival. The ship sailed in
March for Monrovia with ninety-seven
colonists, who were in the care of the
society's secretary. The men declare
they were simply dumped ashore and
told to shift for themselves. A score
of their companions died of climate
fever, and some, it was reported, per-
ished from starvation. Work could not
be secured and the flesh of dead ami
mails and snakes were seized on with
avidity for food. Shelton and his two
neighbors saw no hope for them in the
colony and succeeded in obtaining pas
sage to Liverpool and thence to Phila-
delphia. They expect help from Ar
kansas which will enable them to re-
turn to their homes.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Bound to be Beaten in the Present
Litigation.

The Railroad Commission cannot in
court Of law by legal evidence make
good its contention that the schedule of
reduced fares and freights which it has
established Will earn fair and reason
able amount of money with which to
pay fixed charges and just dividend.
Unless it can do that it will at once be
out of court, and it's doom sealed. The
courts have perfectly established the
law of all such cases. The Legislature,
either by itself or through a commits
sion, if one is constitutionally provided
for, may enforce a schedule of fares
and freights; always provided it per-
1nits of the earnings equaling the out
goings, together with a reasonable in
terest on the capital invested. There
can be no doubt of the existence of the
power, thus limited. 1t was so decided
in the Texas case and is very clearly
Justice Brewer The judgment rem
Spring Valley Water Company is on
all tours with the railroad case in
Texas, and the law of the matter may
be said to be we'll established. That an
equitable decision has prevailed is GER
tain. That a public investment should
be permitted to earn a reasonable in
terest is a truth beyond argument.
Well, then, our Railroad Commission
has got to prove that which the facts
deny. 1t has got to demonstrate by
positive testimony % that the railroad
is at present earning unjust and un
reasonable interest unon the capital
necessary to run it, keep up the neces

The Ex-Sacramento Clergyman is Sc
verely Injured.
The many Sacramento friends of Rev.
Father Seaman. formerly pastor OF St.
Roses Church in this city, but for some
years past in charge OF ST. Joseph's parish
in San Francisco, is confined to his home
with broken leg and dislocated shout
der.
On Friday last he was hurrying to catch
a car, when he stepped on a banana peel
and fell with great force to the pavement.
His leg bent under him, ana the weight
oil his body, Father Seaman being large
man, broke the leg at the knoe. His
shoulder also was dislOcated, and it re-
quired the combined strength OF several
men to &c; IL back in place.
The accident occurred on Tenth street,
directly in front of the schoollouse.
Father Seaman was carried TO his home
and physician summoned. 1t was found
that his leg was broken al the knee.
The priest suffered intense pain. It has
not been determined whether he has been
internally injured. That can only be
known in time.
The news of the accident spread
throughout the parish ana hundreds
called at the parochial residence to in
quire as TO the condition of the sufferer.
All sorts of rumors were soon dying
about, but the statement was made by
one OF his assistants that while Father
Scanlan's condition was serious, there
was no immediate danger of fatal results
ensuing.

Nothing can be more certain than
that they will fail in each particular
The facts are against them, and so is
the testimony of the experts. No one
has ever heard of the railroad being an
attractive investment. Our local rich
men, mindful as they are of putting
their money where it will earn the larg-
est income, steer clear of the railroad s
stock, and say it may be good enough
for the cheap money men of England
but is out of the question with Ameri-
can investors. The railroad has right
tC earn dividends at the rate of interest
prevailing in this market. Equity so
says, and the law has so decided The
fact being palpable that it does not now
and never has earned what it is 'legiti-
mately entitled to, how, in the name Of
common sense, can the Railroad Com
mission cut down an already INSULT
cient income, and at the same time com
ply with the we'll determined law of the
case? The thing is too plain to need
further argument. The commission is
bound to be beaten in the courts, aud
after that, what further use will it he?
It's members should save the State the
fat salaries they cannot earn, and until
some substantial grievance appears,
the Legislature should leave competi-
ton to regulate railroad charges 1t is
