FIELD WILL NOT RETIRE.
the Justice will Leave the
Supreme Bench.

San Francisco, Cal, April 13.-Local
Democrats do not look upon the retire
ment of Justice Stephen G. Field as like
ly to take place soon. The pressure that
is being brought to bear to induce him to
retire, they say, may be great, but when
it would be as a punishment for doing
what he considered his duty they think he
would hardly yield. Some time ago Field
made known his intention of retiring.
He changed his mind, but that circum-
stance gave credit to the rumOr that he
was about to yield to the demands of his
enemies and carry out his first decision.
Judge Field will not retire, is what
Gov. Budd had to say about the mat
ter.
''Who would probably succeed him if
he should withdraw from his position!
''Well, | tell you / don't think he'll
withdraw, but if he should there IS only
one logical successor. That is William
L. Wallace. | consider Judge Wallace
the foremost jurist of this country to-
day" continued the governor with
warmth. ''There is not another man
who could 50 nobly fill the place as he"
Congressman James G. Mcguire was
lutte certain that Mr.. Field had absolute>
" no intention of retiring. He, too, how
ever, favors Judge Wallace as Fields
successor in case of the latter's retire
ment and other Democratic politicians
and lawyers take the same view.

CUTS TELEPHONE RATES.
Chicago Company will Rent Parry
Circuit Phones for SIS a
Month.

Chicago, H., April 13.-The Chicago
Telephone company inside of ten days
will have in operation a schedule of
rates as low as So month, available, it
is estimated, to at least % per cent. of
the total number of its present patrons.
Tie cut is to be accomplished by the ere
alton of what are called party circuits"
a new device. General Manager Hib-
bard says the rates will be on a sliding
scale. Where there are two instru-
rnents on the circuit the rent will be SIS
yearly. For three the cost to each will
be $40 and where there are four or
more the rate will be $50. By this
means he expects to increase the resi-
dence patrons from 1000 to 5000. In
the business section hundreds of new sub
scribers are also expected to come in oR
the party circuits"

DAM GIVES WAY.
Volume of Water SWe cps Down
in-side-One Man
Killed.

Angels Camp, Cal, April 12.-The
dam of the Utica Mining company, three
miles from town, broke yesterday. Fifty
feet of the north wing gave way and the
volume of water it had confined rushed
toward the Mokelumne, roaring tor
rent, bearing with it the body of one
man and the fragments of buildings that
were in the path of danger.
The man who is known to have per-
ished is Otto Lundt, who lived with his
sister in Antonio Creek, below the reser-
voir. He was nearly 80 years old, unable
to move with agility, yet when he real
lied the impending danger, instead of
fleeing he returned to the house in quest
of 500 and some jewelry. Lundt had
scarcely entered the house when the frail
structure was picked up by the on-rush-
ing flood, carried along and scattered for
miles upon the shore of the stream. Of
the unfortunate Lundt nothing more was
seen. To the observers, the mass of
water as it struck the Lundt house ap-
peared twenty feet high. The loss can
not now be estimated. It was under
stood that the construction Of the dam
cost about $40, 900, but it is claimed now
that the loss of the company will amount
10 $40 600

Cheyenne, Wyo., April 12-In May,

AFRAID OF YELLOW JACK.
Mail from Central and South American
Ports will be DiSinfected.


Washington, d. c., April 13.-The be-
ginning of the yellowfeyer season in the
tropical portions of Central and South
America and the West Indies has re-
vived the annual question as to the dam
ger of infection being conveyed TO the
United States in letters or newspapers
mailed from those countries. The New
York health authorities have requested
that all mails from tropical countries shah
be fumigated before distribution.
The immediate cause of the request was
the recent arrival in New York of a mail
steamship from Brazil, one of whose
crew had died OF yellow fever on the voy'
age north. Postmaster Dayton, in for
warding the health authorities request,
said that he did not know the exact ex-
tent of his powers and asked instructions.
Personally he regarded the chance Of in
lection as exceedingly small.
Second Assistant POstmaster-G eneral
Nelson replied today that in view of tho
small expense and labor involved and the
amount of loss and grief that might be
occasioned by only one death, it seemed
to him advisable to begin a system OF
fumigation of mails from tropical coun-
tries during the yellow fever period. This
extends from January to September. Mr..
Nelson invited suggestions from Mr.,
Dayton Oh the subject before issuing
any orders in that matter.

THE MONTEREY SAILS.
Much Secrecy About Her Departure,
but Her Destination is Sure
ly Nicaragua.

San Diego, Cal, April 12.-The coast
defense vessel Monterey departed from
here with more secrecy than is usually
the case when a vessel leaves on a leisure
ly cruise.
The fact that Lieut.. Baker Of Gen.
McCoOk's staff arrived in haste from Den
yer and is believed to have embarked on
the Monterey adds to the mystery of her
destination. A hint was dropped by one
OF the officers before sailing that the vgs-
sci was going to Corinto, Nicaragua, and
the authorities at Washington INDUCED
in little fiction regarding the cruise to
Callao to keel inquisitive people off the
scent.
The sudden illness of Surgeon Whiting
assumed so grave an aspect that a strong
attempt was made to secure another Off
Ger in his stead for the cruise but owing
to the short stay Of the Monterey it was
impossible and he sailed with his ship.
San Francisco, Cal, April 12.-''The
Monterey is undoubtedly going to Corinto,
Nicaragua, and not to CallaO," said DR..
Hibbett, surgeon of the Bennington now
at Mare island. ''No matter what the dis
patches may say, we, in the navy, feel
sure that she is going down the coast to
meet the Royal Arthur, the large English
cruiser, which is headed that way. The
Royal Arthur is the best of her class.
At long range she would be no match
for the Monterey, but she might make it
interesting for her at close quarters.
The Monterey could not be handled
as quickly the Englishman and at
short range she might suffer from tor
pedOes. Out at sea, however, the Royal
Arthur wodld be no match for the Mon
terey. The big guns would make no i'm
preston on the Monterey and those of
the latter would probably lift the Eng
lishman out of the water. In the navy
cut hsrc there is no such feeling that the
Monterey could not cope with the Royal

w. H. allen Says He Owns the Site of San
Francisco Skyscrapers.
San Francisco, CAL, April 13.-The sud
den appearance in this city of William
Henry Allen, who was supposed for
twenty years to be dead, surprised great
many property owners because Allen at
one time owned lands in the heart of the
city now valued at $14,000,000. The
records do not show that the property
ever passed out of his hands and the
present owners, who hold under the
statute of limitations, have had adverse
possession for nearly a generation, His
appearance was simultaneous with the
fling of quit-claim deed to half Of
his interest in the lands, the grantee
being a lawyer named John G.. Watson.
The property claimed is that on which
the handsome Croker building, the Pal
ace hotel, the Chronicle end many other
buildings stand. Attorney Watson says
that his client after gaining his property,
then not particularly valuable, went East
where he became insane. Treatment
slowly brought his mind back, but the
interval seems a dream to him. When
reason was fully restored he set about
looking for his property.

Saves His Life.

San Francisco, Cal, April 13.-Dr. W.
o. Wilcox, the demonstrator of anatomy
in the California Medical college, had
narrow escape from death Friday at the
hands of a maddened morphine eater
DIR. Wilcox returned from the college Of
the faculty about u o'clock. In the
patients sitting room stood young man
of about 20 years of age with that sal
lowness of complexion which betokens the
excessive use of some deadly drug.
He demanded ''shot" of morphine
and upon being refused he seized a sur
geon's knife and attacked the doctor.
The latter managed to get hold of
small bottle of chloroform and dashed
some of the stuff in the madman's face
This partly stupefed the man and by the
time the attack was renewed the doctor
had his handkerchief saturated with
chloroform. He clapped the cloth over
the mans face and had an unconscious
prisoner when the police arrived.
