TO COMPEL A MEETING.
C. A. Spreckels Sues Directors Of
the Oceanic Go.

Judge Seawell has granted to @. A.
Spreckels writ of mandate to COM
pei the board of directors of the
Oceanic Steamship Company to meet
and hold an election, or appear in
court and show why they should not
do so, says the S. E. Call of March
26.
The suit is brought for the pur
pose of securing to @. A. Spreckels a
position upon the board of directors
of the steamship company. For
some time he has been represented
in the board by Charles S. Wheeler,
to whom he transferred all Of his
stock for the purpose of making him
eligible to the Office. Wheeler,
however, becoming tired Of the pos
ition, and fiuding his business else
where as much as he could look after,
resigned from the board.
At the next meeting of the board
@. A. Spreckels was present, but he
states that he was not allow. d to
speak, having apparently no stock In
his own name, nor would the secret
airy transfer his stock from Wheeler's
name to his own, as the books had
been closed up. There was no meet
ing then, nor has any meeting since
been called, and as it takes a major
ity of the shares of stock to call
meeting, O. A. Spreckels cannot call
the meeting himself. He has there
fore drained the writ OF mandate to
see whether the court cannot help
him In the matter.

lieve that other governments
will be willing to accepta dog
in the manger" policy and
allow the Pacific to be without
a cable? Do the Senators for
one moment imagine that the
Nicaragua Canal will continue
to exist merely in the magma
ton Of the world and as a
channel only for paper ships?
We know not. Hawaii is in
terested in both schemes to a
very great extent becauseth there
is no doubt that her commerce
will be increased by the COM
pletion of one or both of the
measures. Nor is Hawaii the
only locality to be benefited.
The United States, particularly
the States along the eastern
and western seaboard will pro-
fit blythe completion Of the canal
to wonderful extent; the mer-
chantmarine thathas been lying
idle will receive an impetus
the like of which has not been
felt in years. Freight could be
SO much reduced that thou

NEW YORK, July 22.-The Defender has
met the Vigilant and vanquished her over
q course of fifteen miles to windward and
return, in the same waters that the cup
race will take place in September. Tho
course was one of the kind wherein tho
Valkyrie Ill will meet the cup defender.
The new boat not only outsailed the old
Champion but sac ou,footcd her as well,
when sailing to windward. Moreover, on
the run home before the wind with tho
Vigilant's centerboard hauled up the De-
fender gained on the Vigilant, an ad.
vantage that her most enthusiastic ad.
mirers did not anticipate. The weather
was about what is to be expected during
the season in which the cup race will take
place.
The two boats got off together with tho
Defense in the lead by twenty-five sec
onds. The new boat from start to finish
showed superiority in pointing, getting
into the wind from q point to point and
half closer than the Vigilant 1t Is
claimed that the Defender lost three and
one.half minutes by installing the posi-.
ton Of tho turning buoy. On the run
home she gained eleven seconds on the
Vigilant, crossing the limo two minutes

KICKS THINKS $4,000 ENOUGH

Both Of His Legs.
CLEVELAND, July ga few weeks ago
n jury in the United States district court
gave verdict of $1,000 against the Bal.
timore and Ohio Railway company in
favor of Charles Henthorne, who lost
both his legs in an accident. A motion
for new trial was filed. Judge A. j.
Kicks has announced that in his opinion
the verdict was too great, and was largely
based, he believed, ON testimony to tho
effect that the company knew the engin-
Ger who caused the accident to be o hard
drinker and still employed him.
Judge Kicks stated that an examination
of the company's pay rolls revealed the
fact that the engineer was not in the
company's service at the time of the acct.
dent. Henthorne's counsel was informed
by the court that If a Judgment of ST., 900,
half the amount awarded by the jury,
was accepted the motion for new trial
would be overruled.
