Who The Bounty Will
Benefit.

In the press dispatches from
Washington which were publish
ed in the States last evening ap-
peared the following: cit is sta
ted that the number of claimants
to sugar bounty aggregate only
about fourteen, while the amount
of claims is S5,0OO,0OO." That is
hut one of the persistent efforts
which have been made to defeat
the payment of the sugar bounty
due the producers of Louisiana by
trying to make the country believe
that only dozen or more persons
would be benefited by the Sc, 0O0,-
600 of bounty money.
The truth is the number of clai-
mants in this State alone foots up
into the hundreds, but the plan
ters are not the only persons who
will be benefited, because there
are thousands of laborers on the
plantations, hundreds of country
merchants and quite an army of
people in this city who depend on
the sugar industry for a living,
and who would be brought to star
walton we're the industry to be
destroyed. 1t lis mistake, how
ever, to suppose that all of the
SIS, 100000 will be distributed in
Louisiana. because supplies for
our plantations, such as mules,
machinery, coal, agricultural i'm
plements and corn and other pro-
visions are purchased in the East
and West, and today the indebted
ness of our planters for such sup
plies amounts to many hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
Thus it Will be seen that any
injury done the sugar industry OF
Louisiana will be felt in other
lines of business throughout the
country, and it was the realization
of this fact that caused such tre-
mendous pressure to be brought
to bear OH the last Congress when
the effort was made to defeat the
amendment to the Wilson bill
granting bounty TO the sugar
producers on the crop of 1894 and
which was the means of saving
nearly all of them from financial
ruin.-States.

contest for years. Some claim that Peters was
imported for the express purpose OF defeating
the Italian, while others say he is nothing but
a giant island rancher.
Another contest in which great interest CEN
tiers is the coming wrestling match between
Charles Moth, instructor of the Stockton Ath-
letic Association, and George w. Seeley, mus
cular farmer OF this county. The match has
been arranged and All the money put up on it,
Seeley has quite a reputation in this county
and has never yet been thrown, while Moths
record is well known, and he is in constant
practice with his pupils at the gymnasium of
the Athletic Association.
1t Is the desire OF the Athletic Association to
send team to Sacramento to compete in the
field day games there on Admission day. II is
certain Mat a barge crew will be sent from
here, but only for the Junior race, as the bow
oar of the senior crew is seriously i'll. The
last-named crew was com posed of different ma
ter1al than the one which represented Stockton
in the Fourth OF July regatta. 1t would have
been the best amateur boat crew that ever rep
resented the Mill City.

Bay Fishing.

Rockcod-fshing continues good on the
north shores of the bay and large catches
are reported daily from all the principal
fishing banks.
On Tuesday last Fred Manson. the we'll
known angler, and companion caught
eighty-seyen pounds Of red and blue rock
fish at Point Cavallo, the largest weighing
four and half pounds and several of
them from two to three pounds each.
On Wednesday George Coleman and
friend caught about 100 pounds of red
rockcod in the vicinity of Lime Point, the
largest weighing four pounds and seven Of
them over three pounds each.
Some very large smelts have recently
been caught near Lime Point. The keep
ers of the fog whistle report having caught
several weighing from two to three pounds
each. Some anglers claim that they are a
species of barracuda, as smelt as large have
never before been caught in the bay, but
the professional fishermen say that they
are the genuine smelt, the same as caught
in Eastern waters.
The tides will be favorable during the
week and continued good fishing may be
expected.

event with her.

cracks would be down to contest with the boys

SPORT AT STOCKTON.
Those Who Will Compete at the
State Fair.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 23.-More interest
seems to be taken here in trap-shooting than
in any other kind of sport just now. Since the
organization of the Gun Club Annex Of the
Stockton Athletic Association a strong rivalry
has sprung up between its members and those
OF the stockton Gun Club The last-named
organization has been in existence for a num-
Der OF years and has among its members some
very good shots. The club holds medal
shoot every summer, and this year some very
good shooting has been done. Several of its
members intend TO compete at the shoot to be
held at Sacramento during the State Fair,
among them being Charles Haas. Dave
Winders, Charles Merrill and f. Richards.
These are among the best shots in the club,
both at bluerocks and live birds. The mem
bers of the Stockton Gun Club are practicing
daily al the traps at Jsckson's baths and are
doing excellent work. Many come away at
night with clean scores 10 their credit. The
members are confident that six OF its best shots
can defeat like number from any gun club in
the State, and are ready TO make match at
any time.
Sunday the Gun Club Annex of the Athletic
Association will hold its first shoot at Good
inside the hslf-mile track. The place is shell
tered and affords an excellent opportunity for
good work at the traps. Some OF the members
are also attached TO the Stockton Gun Club.
Valuable prizes will be given TO those gaining
highest scores in the shoot, which will be
handicap affair.
Tomorrow night there will be a tug-of-war
contest between James Peters, a stalwart ranch
er from Roberts Island, and Frank Podesta
enchoTman OF the Italian team that recently
defeated all corners. Peters is giant and an
old hand at such contests, W lille Podesta is con-
sidered invincible among his countrymen

MAY DISSOLVE.
The Firm of Neville s. Co. Threat
ened by Litigation of the
Partners.

The firm of Neville & Co., for many
years doing business in tents, bags, twines,
ETC., in this City, is threatened with DISCO
luton on account of litigation between the
partners.
A complaint was filed yesterday by Mrs.
Sarah A. Neville and C. NJ. Osborn against
George A. Bryant, in which it IS alleged
that last May, when the partnership agree
ment expired, the value of the stock was
found to be $113, FOG. The liabilities were
$127, $40 and the assets $179, 706. There was
due to Osborn $4,000 on his agreement as
salary and profits. It was found that
Bryant owed Mrs. Neville $50, 216, which
he had overdrawn.
Since that time, the charge continued,
Bryant has conducted the business as II he
were sole proprietor. He discharged the
bookkeeper and cashier without consult
ing his partners and he threatened to change
the locks on the doors so that his partners
could not get into the place.
The plaintiffs declare that Bryant is in
solvent and irresponsible. They ask for
an accounting and further that Bryant be
enjoined from taking an active interest IN
the business pending the suit and that
receiver be appointed.
The firm of Neville & Co. was founded
years ago by ]. NJ. Neville. At the death
of the latter the business was continued by
firm composed of Mrs. Neville, Osborn
and Bryant. The interest of Bryant was
equal to that of the widow, and Osborn re-
ceived ~ per cent of the net profits of the
business and salary of $500 month.
Z. NJ. Osborn, a brother of the present
partner, was originally in the partnership
on a percentage agreement, but be with
drew several years ago.

taken from mining property near Ensen-

''The property is about forty miles from

Mr.. Godbe is also the American Consul.
The mine is inexhaustible ana will prove
of great value to this State" said DIR.
Grindley. ''The iron can be placed here
much cheaper than Eastern ores. AS the
output of nails alone is fifty tons a day,
some idea of the magnitude of what the
iron and steel industries may become on
this coast with cheap supply of ore can
be formed"
