UNDER FoRsYTHs COMMAND
The First Day Spent in Preparing
the Grounds for Their
Stay.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, July 16.-The
streets of Monterey and vicinity were alive
to-day with brass s-buttoned pedestrians.
About 500 regular soldiers arrived this
morning from the various military stations
in CALIFORNIA; tired looking lot after
their tedious walk of $50 miles in weather
that was very warm. The report that
there were forty odd soldiers SICK on the
road was entirely unfounded, as from Gen.
eraI Skaters account the troops never
made a better trip. There were six or
seven bluecoats who got little footsore
and rode with the cooks and drivers, but
were not sick.
The day was devoted to strengthening
the camps. AS yet no programme has
been arranged, but by tomorrow affairs
will be in better shape. There are two
camps in adjoining fields, one occupied by
the cavalry, and the other by the light
battery and artillery.
Among to-day's distinguished arrivals
we're: General Forsyth, Colonel NJ. B.
Young, Colonel Shafter, Captain Gale,
Lieutenant Meal, Lieutenant Rutherford,
Captain Thorp, Captain SummeralI, Cap
tain Galley, Captain Winston, Lieutenant
Patterson, Captain O'Connell, Captain
Morse, Captain Starr, Lieutenant Folsom,

SEARCHING FOR HER CHILD
Mrs. Elizabeth Green Sets Detectives
on the Track of Her Daughter, Mrs.
A. i. Morrison.

on the Track OF Her Daughter, Mrs.
A. j. Morrison.
Detectives were looking for Mrs. A. j.
Morrison last evening. They were set
upon her track by her mother, Mrs. Eliza
beth Green, who under the belief that her
daughter had beer spirited away to an in
sane asylum, wished to have her found at
all hazards.
Mrs. Morrison is the sister of Mrs. Ar
thur Rodgers, Iwho wasl Mrs. Alexander
Montgomery.
Mrs. Green's story is that her daughter
was placed in an insane asylum near Liv-
ermore on May 13 last.
On Sunday, she says, she and Mrs. John
Martin, who was then assisting her in her
search, went to DIR. Robertson's sanitarium
at Livermore and there found Mrs. Morri-
son, who begged to be taken home.
Mrs. Morrison came home Monday even
ing, but, as Mrs. Green could not see her
yesterday. she concluded her daughter had
again been taken to Livermore, and hence
she put Detectives Silvey and Eagan to
look for her. They found her at her home,
1911 Larkin street.
A. ]. Morrison says DR.. Robertson s
place is not an insane asylum, but is san
itarium. He says his wife is i'll from the
effects of recent confinement, and he
placed her in the institution to regain her
health.

THE STRIKERS DEFENSE.
Attorney Monteith Says His Charges
Were Moderate.

Attorney Monteith Says His Charges
Were Moderate.
1t came to the knowledge of Attorney
George w. Monteith yesterday that Tom
Roberts his brother. M. A. Roberts, and
one Forrest all members of the Oakland
lodge of the American Railway Union,
have stated that he was endeavoring to un-
Justly collect $500 from the Oakland union
for services rendered in the trial of the
railroad strikers, Mayne and Cassidy, be-
fore Judge Morrow in the United States
District Court during the early months of
the year. Mr.. Monteith expressed himself
as being both surprised and greatly an
noyed over their conduct. Speaking of
the matter he said:
The statement that 1 charged the Oakland
union $500 for my services in the railroa ad
strikers case is false. My charges for the
whole trial, which lasted twenty-one weeks,
$500. My services were charged to the Ameri-
can Railway Union as whole. e., the local
unions in this district, including Dunsmuir,
Red Bluff. Sacramento, vallejo, Oakland, San
Francisco and San Jose.
Some time ago committee called on me to
effect a settlement of the $500 balance, and
informed me they could raise no funds, but
were willing to furnish me with labor to re-
model nv residence. teld the boys to do the
best they could and would not bother them,
and accepted their proposition.
asked for copy OF the statement that l had
given the committee, and sent it to him. 1t
showed a balance due of $500 made no re-
quest for pay ment at the time, simply because
I thought it unnecessary, as l had the fullest
confidence that the men whose liberty had
been saved would do the best they could.
Indeed, saving a few of the stripe of Tom
Roberts and his brother Mike, 1 believe they
feel that way.
Harry A. Knox, the well-known Ameri-
can Railway Union leader. fully confirmed
the statement made by Mr.. Monteith, and
added that the whole proceeding was
tween the American Railway Union and
Monteith.

THE COLORED PIONEERS.
A Lecture to Be Delivered on That
Subject at Bethel Church This
Evening.

William H. Carter, at one time editor of
the Pacific Appeal, will give lecture at
the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal
Church on Powell street this evening on
the subject of 1.-THE Colored Pioneers"
He was born in Portsmouth, Va, and
graduated from the New Bedford (Mass.)
High School in 1864. He came to Califor-
mia the same year and has lived in San
Francisco since that time. He was for a
time steward of the Langham Hotel, and
has been q waiter at the Baldwin cafe for
six years. He is an intelligent colored
man, and is deeply interested in the stand
ing and welfare of his race, especially such
part of it as dwells in this City.
Mr.. Carter says there has been consider
able co controversy as to who were the first
representatives of the African race who
came to the Pacific Coast. He has ascer-
tanned that Charles Eppes and Sally Cox,
who came with the Panama on its first
trip, were the earliest of the colored pio-
neers.
In his lecture he will give the history of
the "Archie case" Archie was a slave.who
was tried before General 0. G. Platt in the
Twelfth District Court. His defender was
the celebrated Colonel E. D. Baker. He
was acquitted and afterward went TO Vic
toria, B. G. Mr.. Carter says the first paper
edited by colored man and published for
the colored population of the coast was the
Mirror of the Times, started in 1857, and
edited by l.. B. Townsend. The Pacific
Appeal followed in 1862 with Peter Ander-
son as editor, and then came Philip A.
Bells venture, The Elevator, in 1866. Bell
was for number of years dramatic critic
OF the American Flag, at that time the
only Republican paper on the coast. Mr..
Carter intends to contrast the present con-
dition of the negro in this City with his
condition in the past, and will give fore
cast of the future.
The lecture will be given for the benefit
of Bethel Church.

RAILROAD TAXES REDUCED,
The Central PaCifiC'S Assess
ment at Sacramento
Cut in Half.
The Supervisors In That City De-
eide to Encourage the Rail-
way Shops.

Tax Agent E. Black Ryan of the South
ern Pacific Company returned yesterday
from Sacramento, where he had appeared
before the Board of Supervisors, sitting as
a board of equalization, in reference to the
application of the Central Pacific Com
pany for reduction of the Sacramento
railroad assessmen from 1922 900 to
$466, 500. And Mr.. Ryan was filled with
pardonable satisfaction, as he had carried
the day. The assessment was reduced to
$466. $50.
The Central Pacific Companys estimate
of the value of its property in Sacramento
differed by almost one-half from that of
the County Assessor. Mr.. Ryan stated
that on information and belief the prop
erty was worth $466, $780, divided as follows:
In car repair-shop, brickmill, spring shop,
brass foundry, locomotive paint-shop, $4550; /;
roundhouse, locomotive machine-shop, copper
and tin shop, pipe and blacksmith shop, SAT, !,
$50; spike and bolt new blacksmith, car and
pattern shop, saw and planning. mill, cabinet,
car and machine shop, rolling-mifl. paint and
ment, sI4,760; wheel foundry, power-house,
plants, $38 800; transfer tables, oil and oil
fixture. horses, 1920; 3o97 tons of coal, $50
new iron, $43 900; boiler iron, steel, castings,
carwheels. rails. $19,1O0; springs and
bars rubber springs, ear-axles, tires, $10,-
27O; nuts, bolts, spikes, ishplates and air.
brake materials, 1920; brass, copper, zinc,
switch rail, targets, $1100; hoistfng-engine,
$40O; wharves at city front, $4,000; buildings,
shops, roundhouse and all other improvements
between H. A, Sixth and River streets, $780,
900. Total, 1856, $50.
The majority of the Supervisors were of
the opinion that it would not be wise
policy to assess industries out of existence
and In this instance they thought that
every encouragement should be given the
railroad company to maintain the shops in
Sacramento. They certainly would not
sustain the Assessor. The entire board
voted in favor of the reduction.

DEMOCRATS REORCANl|NG
A Meeting for That Purpose
Held at Old Manhattan
Club Hall.
Ex-Boss Buckley's Hand Believed to
Have Instigated the
Movement.

There was meeting of Democrats at the
old Manhattan Club quarters on Bush
street last evening. Their purpose was to
reorganize the party in this City.
The understanding was that the meet
ing had been called under the auspices of
ex-Boss Christopher Buckley, who was in
this manner endeavoring to recover his
lost power over the Democratic contingent.
Mr.. Buckley's hand did not overtly ap-
pear in the proceedings, but there was an
undercurrent of conviction among those
present that the ex-chief was among them
in spirit, in the possible form of guardian
angel
The meeting last night was to be strictly
"on the quiet" P. F. Dundon presided
and Sam Newman acted as secretary. Mr..
Dundon arose and told those assembled
whose house they were in. "But," said
he, Buckley is a thing of the past. We
have rented the house from him and we
are here to do as we like. We owe no
allegiance to Mr.. Buckley, but it behooves
the good Democrats to get together for the
purpose of reorganization. We met to-
gether, l believe, at the Ides of last No
vember, then separated, but here we are
again. Now then, gentlemen, what will

Then there was consultation after the
applause subsidized and the meeting went
into executive session. All hands were
ordered elevated into the air which could
be raised in the faith of Buckley, and it
was astonishing to see the unanimity
with which the digits were thrust into the
air. The lieutenants of the exiled boss
were instructed to go through the districts
and reorganize the party. The orders were
issued as of old, and everybody who was
instructed promised to "deliver the goods"
at the time prescribed.
The plan of campaign as outlined was
that the Buckleyites in the district meet
at the Occidental Club, as the Manhattan

Il Woman Found Guilty of a Murder In
NeaU York.

Woman F0unG Guilty of q Murder II,
NetU York.
NEW YORK, N. Y, July 16.-The trial
of Maria Baerberi in the Court of General
Sessions, before Recorder Goff, for the
murder of her lover, Deminico Cataido,
was concluded tonight, the jury bringing
in verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree. The prisoner was remanded until
Thursday for sentence.
She is the first woman in the State con-
demned to death since the passage of the
law making electrocution the penalty. AS
the case now stands, Maria is adjudged by
the judge subject for the electric chair.
The sentence of the court, of course, has
not yet been pronounced, but there is but
one sentence for murder in the first de-
gree. Few believe, however, that Maria
will sit in the death chair. The case,
it was reported tonight, would be taken
to the Court of Appeals, and if that court
did not order a new trial the Governor
would be appealed to to commute the
death sentence to imprisonment for life.

THE CITY HALL ANGEL.
Her Formula Finally Accepted by tn,
Commissioners

Commissioners.
The question of how and in what manner
the City Hall statue shall be constructed
was finally decided by the City Hall Com
missioners yesterday, when Messrs. Brod.
erick and Creswell decided that the white
metal, which has been discussed by the
Commissioners 1or some weeks past, was
the proper thing for the statue.
Mayor Sutro left the meeting after
short discussion of the merits of the vari-
Gus compositions, and the remaining Com
missioners took the matter in their own
hands and decided the matter once for all.
The composition as accepted consists of
10 per cent of copper, 20 per cent of tin and
20 per cent of zinc.
The tensile strength of the composition
accepted is figured at 14,040 pounds per
square inch, which is supposed to be suffi-
cient to withstand any strain put on the
statue by the wind or other climatic con-
ditions.

STEEL RAILS AND OURRANTs.
Appeals From Decisions by the APP
praisers That Have Been Filed.

United States District Attorney Foote
has begun two suits in the United States
Circuit Court looking to reversal of de-
cisons made by the Board of General Ap-
praisers. One is question of steel rails,
and the Bank of California is directly in
terested in the outcome. The rails were
bonded under the Mckinley act and taken
out of the warehouse under the Wilson
tariff. Collector Wise taxed the goods
under the first law and the owners ap-
pealed. The Appraisers sustained the ap-
peal and now Uncle Sam is going to try
the courts.
The second suit is that in the Zante cur
rant controversy. S. L. Jones asserts that
because the imported article came from
Zante it is not dutiable. The appraisers
upheld Jones & Co. and the matter will
now be settled in the United States Circuit
Court.
