ment employ, that it would be profitable
to engage in the manufacture of certificates
to be sold to unregistered Chinese.
Stidger was the only witness examined
yesterday, and among other things he told
of Katzauer's connection with the matter.
In fact, according to him, Katzauer had
more to do with the whole transaction
than any other man IN the gang. "Kats-
zauer," said the witness, chad some
friends in the north who were doing a
thriving business with the Chinese, and he
was satisfied that great number of forged
certificates could be sold to them. Ac-
cording to him (Katzauerl there were at
least 10000 unregistered Chinese in the
United States, and it would be the easiest
thing in the world to supply them with
bogus certificates.
dShortly afterward a Chinese named
Louie was introduced to Ciprico by Kat
zauer," continued the witness. 1.-THE lat
ter had by this time received the forged
certificates and was ready for business.
| They were shown to Louie and he pro-
| nounced them as good as the genuine
article and promised to secure ali the
| photographs of unregistered Chinese he
| possibly could.
"At this time Mr.. Foss became an active
| partner in the scheme. Being an old
| friend of Ciprico he was at once taken into
| the fold. He brought Chinese named
Sing Fat along with him, as he said he
| (Sing Fat) could obtain 400 photographs
of Chinese who had not registered. In the
meantime the printing of the certificates
had been arranged for in British Colum bia
and all that remained to be done was the
forging of the names of Collector of Inter
nal Revenue o. N. Welburn and Deputy
Thomas P. Cusick.
ga man named Grant came from Vic
toria B. c., with 400 of the fraudulent GER
tificates last December and after they had
been signed and sealed they were handed
over to Foss. They were shown TO the
gang and pronounced good job. Kat
Zauer was the man who was to handle them
in Chinatown, but he was afraid, so l was
deputed to act for him."
Later on Ciprico took the matter into his
own hands and Stidger took up his role as
Government detective. The price set upon
the certificates was $3.50 for unregistered
males and $500 for unregistered females.
The conspirators had full supply of blank
certificates and over 5000 photographs of
unregistered Chinese which they had Sc
cured before the Federal authorities
swooped down on them.
Stidger was on the stand all day and
Carroll Cook, the attorney for the prisoner,
contented himself with taking notes. Once
or twice he noted an exception, but as a
whole he was very unconcerned. After
the court adjourned the Government sud-
denly discovered that it wanted Mr.. Foss
as witness. A subpoena was accordingly
made out and a United States Deputy
Marshal will start this morning for San
Quentin to have him in attendance when
the court opens.

PACIFIC CABLE SCHEME,
An Important Meeting of Pro-
motors to Be Held
To-Day.
z. s. SpaIding, Who Recently Sc
cured the Hawaiian Franchise,
Will Speak.

An important meeting, at which the Pa
cific cable scheme will be discussed, will be
held at the Chamber of Commerce this
afternoon.
Yesterday Colonel q. S. Spalding, who
recently obtained subsidy and an exclu-
sive franchise from the Hawaiian Govern
ment for an ocean cable connecting the
United States and the islands, had long
conference with General W. II. Dimond,
and the result was an agreement for a
meeting of the directors of the Pacific
Cable Company this afternoon at o'clock.
The directors of the home corporation
are: Hugh Craig, w. H. Dimond, George
P. McNear, E. T. Allen, Louis Sloss Jr., L..
Parrot, E. B. Pond, NJ. Bishop, w. T..
Schenck, w. J. Adams, A. G. Halves and
Colonel Taylor.
The bill granting this company fran
chise wa. passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives at the last session of Congress,
but failed to pass the Senate.
At the meeting this afternoon Colonel
Spalding will probably make a full and
comprehensive statement TO the trustees
of the company relative to the exclusive
franchise which he obtained and the SUBJ
sidy which he expects from the Hawaiian
Government. The question is one of so
much Importance to the people of San
Francisco in particular that the Pacific
Cable Company's trustees will, it is said,
earnestly request frank statement of all
the facts in detail.
The Hawaiian Consul in San Francisco,
G. T. Wilder, sailed for Honolulu yester-
day on the steamship Mariposa. Prior to
his departure he had an extended inter
view with Colonel Spalding. 1t is under
stood that his sojourn at the islands will be
brief.

Will Be the Subject Of Professor
Halls Lecture at Metro.

Pm.
Our Disobedienee Of Natures LaWS-To
Gentlemen OnIy-This Evening.
Seats Free.

Never before in the history of California
have such remarkable cures been effected
in so short time as were accomplished by
the HUMAN MAGNETS at Metropolitan
Temple last night.
1t was their introduction to the public of
San Francisco, and while the admission
was free still they were greeted by an
audience comprising the better ele OF
our population, which filled the vast
Temple to overfowing long before the
hourIof opening.
Apparently it seems almost incredible
to state that the paralytic, rheumatic,
deaf, blind and lame, whose infrmities for
years had defied the most learned medical
experts and whose Affections had been
considered hopeless, were really cured
upon the public stage, and that, too, In
few moments of time, but that such aston
ishing cures were positively accomplished
is an incontrovertible fact, as thousands OF
our best citizens who were present Will
attest.
The successful treatment of chronic dis
eases by animal magnetism is no longer an
experiment. In this nineteenth century
of progress and enlightenment it is con-
SlQered one or the UlOSI lIupoilduI ulSCOf-
cries known to the medical world, and the
rapidity with which 1t is being adopted in
all the colleges throughout Europe has no
equal in modern medical research.
This afternoon at 2:30 another demon
stration will be given to which only ladies
will be admitted. Professor Hall will de-
liver the ladies a private lecture, the sub
ject of which is, Suffering woman and her
heroic fortitude to endure"
Tonight at 8 o'clock private lecture
will be delivered to gentlemen only. Sub
ject: "Our Disobedience of Natures Laws"
Tomorrow, Saturday, from 10 to IL A. NJ.
and continuing all next week, the crippled,
those on crutches, paralytic and rheumatic
will be treated free on the stage at Metro
politan Temple.

Although the conversion of a Christian
place of worship into one for Jews is some
what novel, the exercises on Sunday will
differ in no way from those used in the
inaugural service of a new synagogue.
The basement of the church was for

NINE JURORS IN THE BOX.
One More Citizen Secured to Try
Theodore Durrant.


The traces of his recent illness were
plainly visible on Judge Murphy's face
when he took his seat on the bench in De
partment yesterday morning to direct
the search for jurors in the Durrant case.
The courtroom was filled with veniremen,
who had responded in large numbers to
the Sheriff summons, while that portion
of the room beyond the rail was crowded
with fair spectators. The outside corri-
doris were iammed with people clamoring
for admission, among them being many
absolute youngsters. Deputy Hughes
could not see how the little ones could be
benefited by attendance at the trial, and he
gave them fatherly right-about which
will probably keep them away in future.
"Dick" Mcdonald was on hand with his
cases and his attorney Judge Darwin, and
as soon as court was raped TO order, Dis
trict Attorney Barnes arose and addressed
the court concerning them.

Honor" he said. ~ would suggest that it

self on the stand. Seen later, counsel for the
defendant were not prepared to state just what
they intended doing in this regard.
The knife brought by Constable Palmer from
Walnut Creek, supposed by him TO have been
lost by Durrant while camping in the barn on
the Moses ranch, turns out not to be Durrants
at all. 1t is the property of Captain q. Z.
Boardman of the signal corps, who was the
lieutenant when the trip to Mount Diablo was
taken, and has been identified and claimed by
him. The stains upon the blade are rust and
not blood Captain Boardman purchased the
knife from John Todt of 116 Leidesdorff street.
The newest thing in the hunt for wit
nesses and evidence in the Durrant case
cropped up in a general way Yesterday
afternoon. A fairly we'll authenticated
rumor was current in the neighborhood of
Emmanuel Baptist Church that an ex-
pressman had driven up to the church on
Saturday morning last and driven away
shortly afterward with suspicious-look-
ing bundle, at once supposed to be bloody
clothes cast off by the fend who had so
murderously desecrated the church.
The first person prominently connected
with the Durrant case to hear oil. it was Mr..
Vogel, father of the dentist in whose house
the Christian Endeavorers of.Emmanuel
Church held their meeting on the night
Minnie Williams was murdered. He at
once notified Detective Seymour.
He was first told of the circumstance by
Mr.. Spalding of 405 Castro street. The
latter gave him the name OF the express
man as Watson, residing on Turk street.
AS the story goes, the expressman drove
up to the church at SIS and took from the
edifice two bundles, supposed to have con-
tanned clothing. Where he deposited the
bundles has not been stated.
The police attach little Importance to
the story. The expressman, it is under
stood does not know Durrant.
Policeman Michael Murphy was seen at
the church last night. where he was on
duty. He said that no bundle of clothing
or any other article was taken from the
church or Saturday during the hours he
was on duty there.
II went on at $3.50 A. M. on Saturday."
he said, "and I was relieved at about 2
o'clock in the afternoon by Policeman
Norton. No one came into the church on
Saturday, and there was no expressman
nor express wagon about the church. / am
sure there was no bundle taken out on
that or any other day that have been on
duty here"
Policeman Norton said he went on duty
at the church shortly after o'clock.
Saturday was drill day" said Norton,
"and I was late relieving Murphy.

there till after O'Clock. | am positive no
bundle of clothing was taken from the
church that nor any other day that was

expressman about there.

watch two or three weeks and was recently

Bills Killed:


Washington, March r. As a re-
suit Of the negotiations between Min
lister Dun in Japan and Minister Den
by in China, the terms of peace about
to be concluded between China ANA
Japan are now known with little short
of cNactncSS. As understood in high
official circles they are:
lAirSt The treaty between Japan
and china has ceased to exist by rca-
son Gf war. but no renewal of peace
under a new treaty will grant Japan
cNtra-tcrritortHI Jurisdiction over
China. but the latter country will sur
render amy cXtra-tcrritorial iurisdic-
tion she formerly held in Japan.
Second There will he no extension
of Japanese territory ON the mainland
of Asia, but the island of FormoSa,
the Chinese possession lying off the
coast, will be permanently coded to
Japan
Third The Japanese will by the
treaty he granted the right to con
tnur the occupation of Port Arthur
and WeilHai-Wei, the two great
naval stations leading tn the Gulf of
pechili. for a term Of Years.
Fourth The claims OF the Chinese
that Corca is Il dependency of hers
shall be forever rclnuuished and Corca
shall hrnccfolrh be independents
Fifth The cash indemnity To be
paid by China will NOT exceed $3.50.

The purpose to not extend Japanese
territory on the mainland. but to con
tnue il to the outlying island For
moSa. assures the conclusion of peace
without European intervention. In
conformity with the new treaty Japan
now terminates China'S consular
courts in Japan although .Iapan'S con
<uIar courts in china are to be con
tnued This presents the singular
spectacle Of China conceding the adj
vance Of Japan into modern methods.
while at the same time she Is still in
hcnightrd condition requiring extra
territorial Jurisdiction to protect for
rigncrS in China. Probably the most
Important concession Is .lapan'S ocru-
patton of Port Arthur and Wei-llni-
Wei for A term of years. This Will
assure the continuance of peace for
many years,
