SAN FRANCISCO LOSING.
HER ORIENTAL IMPORT TRADE
GOING TO TACOMA.
The Bay City bns Dropped Into
Third This Year and Her Mer-
chants are Worried.

According to the latest reports
received from the New York
Chamber of Commerce, the Cham
Der of Commerce of San Francis
co and the business men of the
City must take cognizance of the
fact that in the oriental import
trade San Francisco is not gain
ing any ground, says the Call. AS
a matter of fact, she has been los.
ing ground year by year, until,
from the second place in the mat
ter of imports into the United
States, she has dropped in 1896 to
third place. Tacoma, Wash,
which last year was in third
place, has superseded San Fran
cisco in second place, and from
the rate of increase III the oriental
import trade with the United
States Tacoma bids fair to take
first place in the United States as
she has on tho Pacific Coast. All
this trade originally belonged to
and was held by San Francisco.
Tacoma ranks second only to
New York City in the number of
packages handled and the value
of merchandise imported during
the year now nearly closed. A
I year ago New York City ranked
first, San Francisco second and
Tacoma third. Today San Fran
cisco, the principal city and the
great commercial metropolis OF
the Pacific Coast, is in second
place, and Tacoma, the new metro.
polls of the Northwest, a city OF
10000 population, is the second
city in the United States in point
OF oriental imports. She not only
has second place, bat she ha:
nearly three times as many pack
ages to her import credit as her
rival, San Francisco.
The value OF imports OF the sew,
eral leading ports is as follows:

MISSION TO LEPERs.

success OF Mission.

At meeting of the convention
of the Canadian Mission to Lee
pers, held recently at Toronto,
many prominent clergymen were
present. From a telegraphic re-
port the following Is taken:s
The Bishop of Toronto said
there was undoubtedly a spread
of leprosy on this continent. He
thought that the Dominion Gov
erument should appointa commits
sion to inquire into the best
means Of dealing with it, before
if possible the international con-
ference on the subject shortly to
be held at London, England. He
considered the work of the mis-,
sion to lepers deserving of the
very highest praise. 1t was the
only organization undertaking
this specific work. 1t had become
a recognized fact that the opera
tons OF the society had proven of
the greatest possible benefit to
general missionary societies.
The Rev. DR.. Potts expressed
the opinion that the success of the
mission to lepers was greater as
respects Outstanding them than
that of any other society. In sup
port of this he quoted statistics
from Asiatic asylums showing
that majority of the lepers in
those institutions had become
Christians.
Addresses upon the claims of
this work upon Christian civiliza,
ton were made by Mr.. Hender
sop, treasurer; the Rev. DIR. Sims
and the Rev. DR.. Buchanan. The
convention was held at the Y. Nj,

Cross Examination of the Defendant
Still Going On.
The cross-examination of Benjamin F..
Hudelson, charged with criminal libel by
Attorney d. B. Woodworth, was continued
before Judge Campbell yesterday after
noon.
The entire afternoon was taken up with
questions regarding the proposition OF
Woodwork to get $500 from John d..
Spreckeis tor mine, the Judge remarking
several times that he failed to see what
object cculd be gained by them.
There was sharp interchange between
the witness and Wood worth regarding a
monetary transaction in which Wood
worth figured in Canada, while member
of Parliament for Kings County, Nova
Scotia.
The case will be continued this after
noon, but it is very doubtful if it will be
finished for some days yet.

STRING ON The REWARD
Examiners Asked to Give to
Another the $1,000 Claimed
by Lees.
Now Zabrewskei Asks the Board to
Audit His Claim for Kov-
alev's Arrest.

A document has been sent to Sacra-
mento which may have more than pass
ing interest for Captain Lees, chief of the
detective force. The purport of it is to
raise contest before the State Board of
Examiners concerning the payment of
$1,000, which has already been awarded to
Captain Lees by the Superior Court, but
which has not been received. In fact
hearing concerning this money is set
down in the Supreme Court for February
10, the case having been appealed, which
bears the title of Lees against Colgan.
After the discovery of the murder OF
Francis H. l.. Weber and his wife at Sac
ramento, about December g. 1894, Gov
ernor Markham offered a reward OF $1,000
for the apprehension and conviction of the
murderer. Ivan KovaIev was arrested.
tried, found guilty and hanged for the
commission OF the crime. Captain Lees
claimed the reward. This is the $1,000 in
question.
Attorneys Stanley Jackson and Joseph
c. Meyerstein, acting for Vladislaw Ia
brewskei, have just drawn up and for
waroed to the State Board of Examiners,
getting in their work prior to the date set
Tor the hearing in the Supreme Court OF
Lees against Colgan, petition in which
various statements are made in support
of the claims of Zabrewskei, and the board
is asked to audit his claim for $1,000 and
instruct the Controller to draw warrant
in favor of Zabrewskei for the amount.
The date OF the petition is December %,
1896
Messrs. Jackson and Meyerstein set
forth that on June 20. 1895, Zabrewskei.
with the intention of claiming the reward
offered by Governor Markham, appre-
hended Kovalev and delivered him to an
officer of the law in San Francisco; that
the delay in the presentation of this claim
is due entirely to Zabrewskei's reliance
upon those in authority at the police
headquarters in Sacramento and in San
Francisco. and that he was at disad-
vantage by being ignorant of the language
and customs of this country. he being
Russian.
If this petition is not favorably acted
upon by the State Board OF Examiners
there are other steps to be taken to secure
the $1,000 for Zabrewskei for which Captain
Lees has sued the Controller. Suit will be
entered at once and an effort will be made
to have the case tried in this City.

UNITED STATES GOLD COIN
Consul General Wilder of Hawaii Says
1t Is the Standard in the
Islands

In speaking of the shipment of S10O, 900
last Tuesday to Hawaii Consul General
Wilder stated yesterday that no particular
significance should be attached to the
affair.
1.-The shipment was not particularly large
for this season of the year, when payments
are being made for sugar.
There is no likelihood that President
Dole and his Cabinet have decided upon
adopting the coinage of the United States.

BRODERICK SIGNED.
The Board of Education Had Power to
Buy a Site for the Mission
High School.


Auditor Broderlck, acting on the advice
of his attorney, signed the demand for the
purchase price OF the Mission High School
lot yesterday and thereby made glad the
hearts OF many residents of the Mission
as well as the former owner of the lot.
The Auditors attorney, on looking over
the laws and authorities presented for his
perusal declared that the act OF the Legis-
lature of April l, 1872, supersedes ali other
laws defining the powers of the Board of
Education, including those limiting it to
the purchase of specified number of
school sites.
He cited decisions OF the Supreme Court
to the effect that general statutes shall
prevail over specific acts, and concludes
by saying that IN his opinion it is the
duty of the Auditor to sign at once.
The acting president of the Board of
Education, DR.. Clinton, concluded the
purchase yesterday afternoon and work
on the building will begin in the near
future.

Earnest Enos, the 14-year-old
step-son of Marion Spawr, met with
a painful accident Tuesday night
and dangerous wound is the result,
says the Nezperce News. Mr.. and
Mrs. Spawr drove into towns that
evening, having been on the road
several days from Pullman The
boy was following on horseback
several miles behind, driving a
small band of horses. 1t was near
ing 10 o'clock at night when he ar
rived at the west side ofMr. lamb
Inns place near town. A single
strand of barbed wire had been
stretched on posts a hundred or
more feet apart, to turn the travel
down the new road into town. Hav-
ing no knowledge Of the presence of
the wire the boy continued on down
the old road. The horses separated
and IL rounding them up, the horse
he bestrode ran into the wire and
as the sharp barbs pricked its flesh
it started down along the fence.
The boy realized his peril at once
and vainly attempted to clear the
horse from the wire. The animal
turned suddenly and retraced its
course along the fence, the wire
caught the boys leg just above the
knee aud cut a gaping wound
through the flesh to the bone, at
least half an inch in width. The
wire caught on the horn of the
saddle and would have sawed it off
had it not been of steel. The boy
cleared his feet and then threw him
self from the horse. As he did so
the animal gave kick and lunge
throwing him on his head and
shoulders stunning him for short
time. Coming too, he raised an
cutlery and parties were soon at his
side. He was conveyed to the
Spawr tent and the Denver doctor
was on hand a few hours later.
The wound was sewed up, and at
this writing the boy is getting along
splendidly,

FIGURING ONES SELF RICH.

1t is nearly as easy to figure out
a profit in dairying as it is to figure
out loss in running a country
newspaper. And we do not have to
invent figures to do it with, either.
Take, for instance, the case of Mr..
A. M. Stevens, reported In the
Dairyman of November 10, 1898.
His COWS brought him in during
the year $64.95 each. Ten such
COWS would earn $645 and twenty
of them 1920, a very comfortable
income. Now, suppose a dairy
farmer has twenty such COWS, and
that he keeps all the pigs that can
be comfortably brought up on the
farm, and that the farmer and his
family live largely on milk, cream,
butter, cheese, ham, sausage, eggs,
chickens, garden vegetables, and
few other things farmers can have
when they try, such as apples, pears,
black berries, cherries, and water
melons; ought not such a farmer to
put away $500 a year, or $4,000 in
ten years? He can at least add
materially to the equipment of his
farm, and thus add to his income,
or perhaps save expenses for things
he formerly had to buy. But I will
desist for fear some poor deluded
rancher should be persuaded to go
into dairy farming and soon become
rich and hard hearted.-Garfeld

the punishment of their violators
saws the Colfax Gazette. Although
the case was one from Pullman
the decision in its effect, particu
larly interests Colfax and all othe
municipalities. The case upor
which decision was granted wa'
that of Hull VS.. City Of Pullman
Hull had prayed for the issue of al
injunction against the city of Pull
man and it's marshal, J. f. Bay
miller, to restrain the latter from
selling barrel of whisky levied up
on by Baymiller to satisfy a fine
against Hull upon which execution
had been issued. In his pray Ell
petitioner set out that he had beer
convicted and fined for selling liz.
uor in Pullman in violation of 8
city ordinance. He also complained
that the fin9 had been imposed by
Police Justice Routhe, who although
appointed to that position by the
city council, had never been elected
justice of the peace and was con-
sequently ineligible to hold the Of
flee of police justice. He also
claimed that even if all the pro.
ceedings prior to the levying of ex-
ecution had been legal and regular
the proper remedy had not been
applied, inasmuch as the violation
Of the city ordinance was a misde-
meanor, and the remedy prescribed
was clearly not the collection of a
fine by process of execution, levy
and sale.
Judge Sullivan by his restraining
orner made the temporary injunc.
ton permanent. He further decided
that under the laws of our state a
city council has the powor to select
police justice who is not a justice
of the peace. In a previous case
the city of Pullman against Ebert
Judge Sullivan had held that where
the ordinance provides for a fine Oh
Imprisonment the person violating
the ordinance could not be impris-
oned in lieu of the fine imposed, but
that an execution should be issued
against any property of the defend
ant. In the present case the court
stated that he had erred in the Ell
bert case, that a person found guilty
of violating such an ordinance coulc
be imprisoned in lieu of the fine
and that an execution could not is
sue for the collection of a fine ex,
cept upon judgment obtained in g
civil action for its recovery.
The Ebert case was one in which
the city justice having found mar
guilty of gambling in violation of 6
city ordinances had fined the con
victed man heavily and committed
him to the county jail until his fine
was paid. Gilbert appealed and IN
der the judges former decision was
released About the same time
several gambling cases tried in Col
fax resulted in convictions, and the
same general plan of a heavy fine
with commitment to county jail il
lieu of its payment was followed
Appeals were taken in these cases
and pending their hearing the Ell
bert decision was given. The city
then proceeded by civil actions anc
Judgments against the convicted
gamblers were obtained. Whether
