so, and plenty of 1t. There was almost in
cessant rain during my stay there, which
made it very uncomfortable"
Speaking of what was accomplished at
Chicago, he said:
1.-THE work done at Chicago in the forma-
ton of the Transcontinental Passenger
Association is of the most important char
acter. There had never before been any
thing of a binding nature among the West
ern roads. There was no signed agree
ment, and the various roads were hanging
on by their gills, so to say. The agree
ment now effected completes a task begun
abouta year ago. No change in rates will
be effected by it, but it will do away with
the payment of excessive commissions on
business, by means of which rates were
cut in some instances, by division of the
commission with the passenger"

Nevada deserts.
LAS a matter of fact, it would be much
safer for Mr.. Williams to travel that high
way in the daytime. So far as any danger
of hold-up is concerned, it is not recorded
that any ever occurred.
when 1 first began the suit against the
bullion ring paid a visit to Virginia City
for the purpose of collecting some evidence
that [ desired to secure. As soon as 1 get
off the train friend came to me and in
formed me that my life was not worth a
cent on the Comstock, as two men were
hired to kill me and put stop to the suit
[ threatened to institute, and which [ in
tend to carry to conclusion if it takes
ten years longer. The men he named as
my assassins lowered around me all the
time I was in Virginia City, but they never
dared to face the music that would have
been introduced in the game. l accused
one of the men of being hired to take my
life and he never denied it. When l do
business with that kind of gang expect
something besides fair play.
They knew L had the evidence neces-
sary to get conviction, and it was evil
dent they believed in the old mountaineer
legend that dead men tell no tales 1t
happened that the ruffians selected to dis
pose of me were the rankest kind of cow

stock and fight it out like a man.

and [ mean to do so until l get my just

Service Agent Harris came to me. accom-
panied by United States District Attorney
Charles Jones of Nevada, and both gen.

in Nevada. / told them to go right ahead

believe they will take any very positive
steps until they begin to realize the enor-
mity of the offense. When Uncle Sam
finds out that coming has been going on

Government he will perhaps get it through
his head that it smells like counterfeiting.

After reading the letter, Mr.. Fox said /:
"Well, we got the itemiZed statement re-
ferred to in the letter, and it was through
that document that we were able TO trace
the crookedness of the boodlers. Evan
Williams admitted on the stand that he

he was afraid of being robbed in the day

Paul, Sioux City, the Missouri River to
Kansas City, ST. Louis, Memphis and New
Orleans, are parties to the new agre ement
which went into effect on the 1st OF
December. Among the salient features
are the following:
The purposes of this association are to pro-
vide for Joint instead of individual action IN
all matters of common interest, and to aHoro
protection against unfair competition, TO the
end that agreed rates OF fare may be main
tanned on transcontfnental passenger trafflc
All rates of fare and commissions OF COM
petitive Character shall be subject to unani-
nous agreement of the lines directly interested,
except that all propositions affecting rates or
regulations to, from or through the eastern
boundary line as drawn shall be subject to
the unanimous vote of all members. Further
provided, that all propositions aHecting rates
or regulations to and from intermediate ter
ritory shall be subject to the unanimous vote
OF the lines directly interested.
In the event of disagreement any interested
line may appeal to the chairman for authority
to take the desired action. Should the chair-
man fail to satisfy the appealing line or lines
within five days from the receipt of the appeal
they may make effective the action proposed
upon giving ten days written notice to the
chairman.
The issuing of pass, or free or reduced-rate
ticket or So-called advertising ticket, the fur
nishing of free sleeping car accommodations
or meals, or reduced rates made on the same,
or the granting of any consideration OF value
to one or more OF party OF passengers Tor the
purpose of influencing securing passenger
business is prohibited.
If the chairman becomes satisfied that any
line outside of the association is guilty OF acts
in conflict with the letter spirit OF the agree
ment he may issue an order suspending passen-
ger business relations with such offending line
to such an extent as he may deem necessary.
In reference to the immigration traffic
situation Mr. Goodman said that the
adjustment of all difficulties was nearly
com pleted and that the 1st of January
would probably see the whole matter
settled. "The object of the pending
negotiations" he said, sis to make a
physical division of the immigrant traffic
from Europe destined for California
points; that is, to route the proper pro-
portion via New Orleans and via Ogden.

NO USE FOR JAPANESE
Contract Cody Miners Driven Out OIL
Humboldt County on Short
Notice.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald has re-
ceived the information that week ago
dozen Japanese contract laborers went to
Gold Bluff, in the northern part of Hum
boldt County, to take the place of the
white men working in the mines there.
The Americans had been told that the
japanese were TO arrive, so they organized,
and when the Japanese put in an appear
ance the spokesman told the coolies they
could stay over night, but that in the
morning they must go back to where they
came from or there would be trouble.
The Japanese beat hasty retreat, the
Americans warning them not to return.
The owners of the mines have thrown the
white men out of employment, and trouble
is feared before a settlement is reached. 1t
is reported on good authority that the Jap
anese had come up to labor for So a month
and board.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is of the opinion that the
coolies who went to the mines and made
such a short stay were sent there by local
Japanese hotel-keeper, who carries" his
countrymen when work is scarce, and
makes contracts for them to go to work as
soon as he sees an opportunity to get them
off his hands.

At the last general meeting of the Mer-
chants Association an encouraging report
of the progress made by that body since
its organization was read. 1t showed the
advance in the methods of cleaning streets,
and in q dozen other reforms with which
the public is familiar.
Particular attention was called to the
plan upon which the work of advance
ment would be carried on during the COM
ing year. In conclusion, an invitation
was extended to all San Francisco mer-
chants to become members of the associa-
ton and aid in carrying on the good work.
Within a week twelve new members
were added to the list, and among them
were banks and large business houses.
Since then many men have applied to be
enrolled in the cause of progress, and
forty-four have been regularly elected.

airy and allowed to go and come as he
pleases. If Professor Joe were relieved of
the burden of lecturing in his old age and
given full time and opportunity for other
work, who could doubt that the Univer-
sity of California would be the gamer in
the end?'
One of the best known and most popular
of the alumna says that while Californians
are given enough to praising their climate
and scenery, they do not show due appre-
citation of the worth of Western men in art
and science, and suggests that more public
spirit in that Direction should be devel-
oped. '"Many times in the history of the
University of California" she writes, "men
who were fully competent to teach these,
who, though having lived in California
many years, were still in touch with the
best thought of Europe and of the East on
any given subject, have been overlooked
and passed by, while the Eastern importa-
ton has been In many cases anything but
a success"
The regents in the past in attem pting to
regulate matters in the internal affairs of
the university between the members of the
faculty or between students and faculty,
have several timas found themselves in
hornets nest, and now such matters are
generally lett to the academic senate:
Sidney T.. Mezes, who is professor of
philosophy in the University of Texas,
the internal management of the Univer-
sity of California is simply disastrous.
The popular Librarian of the university,
| who went to college with Governor Budd,
| makes an appeal to all graduates Of the
university to bear the library in mind.
He suggests that much can be done for it
with gifts of even single volumes. Alumni
who are attorneys, he says, may suggest
to their clients when making wills to in
corporate bequest to the university
library.
An aIumnus connected with one of the
big insurance companies combines busl-
ness with patriotism and makes an excep-
tionally good suggestion for the increase
of the university endowment finds. He
proposes that rich men who desire to do
something for the institution may, in
stead of leaving fixed sums in their wills
to come out of their estates, insure their
| lives for the benefit of the university and
in this way with no very great outlay do
great deal of good.
There has been for some time an effort
on the part OF both graduates and stu
dents to educate the public up to the fact
that the name of their university is Cali
! fornia, and an effort has been made even
to eliminate the word Berkeley" from
the college veil. w. A. Brewer writes to
Mr. Reinstein: "Dr. Jordan calls our
university California, as ne ought to do.

MADE HIS ESCAPE.
An Insane Patient Walked Out of the
Receiving Hospital and Disappeared.

Charles Johnson, who was booked at the
Receiving Hospital for the Insane Asylum
at Ukiah, made his escape from the hospi-
tai yesterday morning, and Deputy Sher-
ifs are searching through tie City to re-
capture him.
When the janitor opened Johnson's cell
yesterday morning to clean it, Johnson
asked permission to take promenade in
the corridor. His request was granted,
and while the janitor was inside the cell,
Johnson coolly walked out of the hospital
without being observed by the attaches.
At the door ne met a visitor who asked
him if DR.. We'll was in. Johnson politely
asked him to step inside and take a seat
and wishing him good-morning as he
walked away.
Johnson is tanner and lived on the
San Bruno road, near Thirtieth street. 1t
is thought he will make his appearance in
that neighborhood and his house is being
watched.

Justice of the Peace Barry Has Billy
Tannian Arrested for Using Vul-
gar Language.

Justice of the Peace Barry caused the
arrest of man in the Larkin-street cor
ridor of the CITY Hall.
Policeman Wagner was patrolling the
corridor when the Justice rushed up to
him and said, Protect me, officer; protect
me-" Wagner assured the Justice of his
protection and asked him what the trouble
was about. The Justice pointed to tall
man standing in the corridor, who proved
to be Billy Tannian, a well-known poll
tician. Barry asked Wagner to arrest him,
Wagner marched up to Tannian and
placed him under arrest. "What charge
will prefer against him ?'' asked Wagner
."Oh! make it using vulgar language" re-
piled the Justice.
1t was done as ordered, and Tannlan' s
friends were hunting all day for Police
Judge to get him out on bail, but were not
successful.
Neither party cared to discuss the
trouble. Tannian, who by the way gave
the name of Tannsey, said: ''Why,
