WAITING FOR NEW RATES.
Shippers Watching the Pacific Mails
Dictum-CIipper Ships Again.


The Pacific Mail officials stated yester-
day they were not in a position to say
when the advanced freight rates via
Panama would become effective. In fact
they were not prepared to quote the ad-
vanced rates, and it will likely be some
days before the new schedule is issued for
the delectation of merchants and producers
of Californian articles of commerce.
The transcontinental rates as advanced
and adopted on low-class commod tiles by
the Southern Pacific Company have been
published in The CALL, and now the inter
est of shippers is directed toward the new
tariff of the Pacific Mail Company.
There is a differential rate of So ton in
favor of the water route, and it is generally
believed by railway men that this stand
ard will be maintained under the new
order of things.
1t is an open question If the low-class
commodities, such as wine, iron, etc., that
have come under the corporations 8 ban
can afford the additional tax. In not a
few instances the advanced rate may com
pei shippers to cease exporting to the
East, since the small margin of profit on
those articles prohibits the payment of
high freights. The only possible way out
of the dilemma is the clipper ship line, to
which the Traffic Association will at once
turn its attention in the interest Of Cali
fornia merchants and producers.

Paine's celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength and

MRS. HEINECKE ANSWERS.
The Wife Tells a Tale of Brutal Cruelty
From the Husband.

Mrs Frances B. Heinecke has filed an
answer to the complaint of her husband,
Paul Heinecke, for divorce, and has also
flied a complaint of her own in which she
asks for divorce on the ground OF
cruelty.
In her answer Mrs. Heinecke denies
that she used vulgar language to her hus-
band, or that she ever struck him, and
she further denies each and every one of
his allegations against her, and asks that
his complaint be dismissed.
In her complaint she alleges acts of the
most brutal cruelty, which continued, she
says, from just after her marriage in
March, 1894, until recently, when they
separated.
She says her husband is gripman, and
is earning 81 40 day, and she asks the
court to compel HIM to provide for her, to
dismiss his complaint and to grant her a
divorce, allowing her to resume her
maiden name of Frances Christman.

LABOR COUNCIL.
Organization of an Association Having
for Its Object the Cole ction of
Laborers' Wages.

The Labor Council met at 1859 Mission
street last evening. 1t was reported to the
council that hundreds OF complaints were
coming from workingmen who had diff
Guilty in getting wages due them. In
many cases the sums were so small and
the employers, generally small contract
ors, being so irresponsible financially, that
the employees could not afford to attempt
the collection OF their debts by an action at
law. After consideration of the subject
a workmens defense association was or
ganized, similar to those now in existence
in other cities. By this method the mem
bers com bine with the object of making
bad debt collections without needless ex-
pense.
The council adjourned to meet Friday

Mr.. Keeney will do considerable political
work on his way, and has been invited to

From FRIDAYS Daily.


The city council has called an election
for mayor and SIX aldermen. There
has been raised doubt as to whether,
under the general law, an entire new
coupcll-mayor and all aldermen
should not be elected. The opinion
of the city attorney has been given that
those aldermen whose terms Of office
have not expired hold over. There is a
divided opinion On this question and 1t
is claimed by good lawyers also that the
aldermen elected under the old city
charter do not continue IN office until
their terms expire but are superseded by
aldermen according to the provisions OF
the new code, Sec. 2254.
The city council having called city
election for only six aldermen, If eight
are required by law, there is certain to
arise a conflict as to the legality of the
election. Everyone desires to prevent
any unnecessary litigation or any in
correct action in this matter and, it IS
the duty of the council, and no doubt
they desire, to take every proper pre-
caution to prevent any question OF llle-
gallty that may arse IN the future. 1t
is understood that the same question
last year arose at Bismarck and that 1t
was decided necessary to elect the full
number Of aldermen.
The following opinion from Hon.
Alexander Hughes of Bismarck has been
secured bearing on the point. Mr..
Hughes was formerly the attorney gen.
eral of Dakota aud is recognized as an
able lawyer. His opinion is also con-
Cured in by good legal authority at
Fargo and also by home attorneys Mr..
Hughes says that he has given the sub
ject consideration and states:
II am strongly inclined to think that
it was clearly the intention OF the legls-
lature, as evidenced by said section, (22o4)
and by section 2l10 of said code, that at
the first election under the new law there
should be elected each and every officer
provided for under said law. There is
no question as TO the power OF the legls-
lature to abolish an Office, or to shorten
the term thereof I am of the opinion
that the term Of office OF the present
aldermen Of the city of jamestown will
expire upon the election and qualltica-
ton OF their successors IN office, under
the general law, section 2254.
ut is expressly provided by section e
