Rearrested on the same Charge and
Can't Get Bail.
DR.. Arthur F. Marten. charged by Alma
Josslyn with threats to kill, is again in
the tolls and is not likely to get out for
some time according to his own statement.
"You see," he stated last night, sits all
a put up job. When 1 was first arrested
my attorney, Mr.. Gallagher, got me my
bail of $4,000 for $10-all the money l had.
Now that I'm arrested again he wants to
charge me 800 for $1,000 bail. I've got no
money and l can't find my friends, so
must stay here in jail
The DOCTOR case two days ago was dis
missed on tech hnicality and when he was
rearresIed this afternoon he went before
Judge Campbell on petition to have his
bail of $1,000 reduced.
He at first claimed that Alma Josslyn,
his ward, was also his wife, as he had lived
with her for over two years and had in
troduced her scores of times as his wife.
In court yesterday he denied that she is

PRESS CENSORSHIP.

One journal in Russia That Is Espe-
cialIy Favored.
There is only one exception, one news
paper in st. Petersburg, which has the
privilege of free speech and is permitted
to criticize the Government with free
dom that is almost inconceivable, when
one considers the severity of the treatment
to which other less favored journals are
subjected. The journal in question is the
Grajdanin, or Citizen, and the immunity
to the fact that its editor and pro-
prietor, Prince Metcherski, the Mus
covite counterpart of the English
Henry Labouohere, is the younger brother
of that lovely Princess Metcherski to
whom the late Emperor Alexander III
was affianced before he was compelled by
his father, much against his will and
solely on dynastic grounds, to marry the
hetrothej of his dead brother, the
Princess Dagmar of Denmark. Alexander
III, although he subsequently became
much devoted to his charming Czarina,
never altogether forgot his first love, who
had been forced by Alexander II to wed
Paul Demidoff during the absence of her
imperial lover in the Caucasus.
Throughout his life he manifested an
affection that can only be- described as
paternal for her two children, and invari-
ably permitted her brother to have free
rein, the Prince being probably the only
man in the whole of the great Russian
empire to enjoy that privilege. AS the

condemning the interference of the police

WHEREAS, There has been an attempt at in

Resolved, That we condemn the action of the

worthy efforts to maintain this, the greatest
prerogative OF a free people.

Two New Players Put Up Hard
Games Against Vet
eranS.
EXCITING FINALS EXPECTED
Drisco1l, Hardy and the Two Whit.
neys to Struggle for the
Trophy.

The ninth annual lawn tennis tourna-
ment for the cham pionship of the Pacific
States is on at San Rafael. The prelimi-
nary contests were played yesterday after
noon at the Hotel Rafael courts, the scene
of all cham pionship tournaments since
the organization of the Pacific States Lawn
Tennis Association in 1890.
There was not the concourse OF fashion
and tennis enthusiasm present yesterday
which is attendant upon the deciding
games. That will come to-day when the
spectators area will be crowded with
ardent admirers of the game, and perhaps
more ardent admirers of the players
Hotel Rafael is already well filed with
parties who have made the tournament an
excuse for spending the Fourth at San
Rafael, and the management is making
arrangements for an immense crowd to-
day.
The first pair of contestants drawn yes-
terday was Walter Magee and George Nc
Chesney. The latter, however, was defeated.
The next draw was George Whitney and
Paul Selby. This was conceded by the
knowing ones to be a gift for Whitney.
They, however, had reckoned without
their Selby, for that young man, although
comparatively new at the game, put mp
rafting contest against the veteran. and
though Whitney won by score of Cd,
6-1, he had no opportunities to nap.
The lots were unkind to Mr.. Eckart.
He was elected to go up against I. A.
Driscoll, one-time-champion of the coast.
Driscoll had no difficulty in defeating
Eckart, score 6-3, 6-2.
J. o. Tobin defaulted to Mr.. Thatcher
and II. Parker defaulted to A. E. Kaeser.
r. n. Whitney defeated Stone by score
of 6-1 Cd. Joseph S. Tobin defaulted to
Sam Hardy and DR.. George Rothsanger
failed to enter the court against H Weihe.
The winners OF the first two prelimin-
s-ies, Magee and George Whitney, were
then pitted against each other. Whitney,
who appeared to be in fine fettle, started
in at killing pace and soon had a good
lead on his opponent. Magee, however,

CHANGES IN GRAIN RATES
They Have Been Advanced From
Recent Reductions in the
San Joaquin.
The Southern Pacific Found That It
Was Not Charging All the
Traffic Would Bear.

What are alleged to be clerical errors in
the reduced grain tariff issued by the
Southern Pacific Company last Saturday
has induced that company to put out re-
vised tariff.
Shippers claim that this revision is not
due to errors on the part of clerks, but to
an error of judgment on the part of the
traffic manager as to what the traffic will
bear.
In the revised schedule not only have
the recently reduced rates been advanced
from a number of points, but reduced
rates are now quoted from thirty-nine
points, as against the nineteen points that
were originally considered in the field of
competition entered by the valley road.
In the table that follows are given the
latest rates ana the figures showing the
changes made in the schedule of week
ago. The rate is given in cents per ton OF
1000 pounds in carloads of not less than
24,000 pounds:

Four Thugs Capture a Saloon
and Beat the Bar
keeper.
Two Of Them Caught While in the
Act of Breaking 0p5n the
Cash Register.

Fred Smith, bartender at 637 Clay
street, was terribly beaten yesterday after
noon by crowd OF thugs, who entered the
place with the ayowed intention of rob-
bing it.
Among them were Thomas Scott and
Thomas Carroll, who have been arrested
on charge of robbery, and Charles Carey
nd Edward Hines, who are held on
simple charges of vagrancy, pending fur
ther investigation as to their connection
with the affair.
Smith was performing his duties as usual,
there being already number of such
hard cases in the place as sometimes make
Clay street, from Montgomery TO kearny,
impossible to timid people.
The men who are now in jail, says Smith,
picked a quarrel with them, and in the
melee that followed bottles and beerglasses
were broken, principally on Smiths head.
While he lay on the floor back of the
bar. half unconscious from his injuries
Scott and Carroll took the cash register
and carried it TO the rear room OF the
saloon.
About that time W. P. Hermann, who is
supposed to be proprietor of the place,
happened IN. He learned of what had
taken place and interfered with the two
robbers be found in the act of opening the
register. They ran away and Herm ann
followed, reaching the California-street
station with his tale of woe.
Policemen Norman and Peters succeeded
in capturing couple of the men in the sa-
loon, another on the water front and the
fourth one begging on Market street.
The in iured man was taken for repairs
TO the Receiving Hospital.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-04

gathered himself together and started to
regain lost ground. He was playing
remarkably fine game and had succeeded
in bringing the score 10 tve all, or tie,
when some trivial accident caused him to
stop for q moment. The interruption
proved fatal. His stroke seemed to have
lost its effectiveness and Whitney won the
bout. Score, 6-3. TO.
Driscoll and Thatcher were next up.
Driscol when in form is one of the top
notch men of the coast. In 1893 he held
the coast championship and i'll tourna-
ments since he has made the champions
play tennis very industriously. At pres
ent he is not at his best. He has recently
returned from college and the examina-
tions attendant upon the class of the term
have given him little opportunity for
practice. Thatcher put up a good game,
but Driscoll's skill and experience were
too much for him and he succumbed by a
score of 6-2, 6-2.
Kaeser and r. w. Whitney had an in
teresting contest. The match was scarcely
equal. yet it was nearer so than the spec
tators had anticipated. Kaeser's game
was much stronger than had been ex-
pected. but he was beaten, 6-1, 6-2.
Sam Hardy, one of the best-known
players on the coast. and W. Weihe of the
California Club, new man In the tourna-
ment, were the last pair on the programme.
Weihe should. according to precedent,
have been nerv US and ratified in this his
first game fol the championships, butW Weihe
snubbed precedent atrociously in this re-
gard. He played all the tennis he knew
how, and though he suffered defeat he
was the recipient of much congratulation.
The score was 6-2, 6-Z.
This morning George Whitney and
Driscoll and r. n. Whitney and Sam
Hardy will play and the two winners
will play in the final in the after
noon. Sumner Hardy, the coast cham
pion, is at present in Alaska, and as he
will not be on hand to defend the cham
pionship the winner of this afternoon s
contest becomes the champion for the en-
suing year.
From yesterdays play it is prophesied
that the Whitney brothers will be called
upon to play tue finals against each other
for the championship.

DR.. Wood took flying trip to the McCloud
River during the past week and bagged
twenty-five large trout in few hours fishing.
He states that he had to stop, as his creel was
so full that he could not carry any more. He
also states that the fis h are taking the iy we'll
and that large catches are being made. James
White captured a seven-pound striped bass
while fishing in the river this week. The fish
was hooked with a common hook baited with
beet and White played and landed it with a
twelve-foot line on bamboo pole. Striped
bass seem to be quite plentiful in the river
and sloughs this season and it is thought tn at
they feed on the young of the carp, which
breed in the tules.

One who recently paid visit to Guys
Hospital tells that when in the colonnade
OF the institution, and about to leave, he
became the object of demons trative atten-
ton on the part of a small dog, Prince by
name, as he afterward ascertained. It
seems that last winter Prince sustained a
fracture of hind leg, and, entirely on his
own initiative, dragged himself into the
hospital precincts and applied for surgical
relief. 1t was granted ungrudgingly; the
leg was put in plaster and the dog was
given nursing and aliment suitable to his
kind. In the fullness of time he was made

THEY GET NO PURSE.
For Foul Fighting the New Occidental
Club Will Only Pay Smith and
GaIlagher's Expenses.

The board of directors of the New Occi-
dental Club met last night to consider the
question of allowing Smith and Gal
lagher, the contestants of Thursday
nights fight at the Pavilion, the purse
for which they fought.
After a short consultation it was unani-
mously decided that the only sum allowed
them would be the amount of their ex-
penses. The reasons given for this de-
cision were that the fighters had violated
their articles of agreement by fouling each
other from the start, and by failing to
give satisfactory exhibition to the au-
dience, while the referee himself had re-
versed his own decision in writing and
declared the bout no contest.
The directors would seem to be sup
ported in this course by the whole sport
ing fraternity, many of whom openly de-
clare that neither Smith nor Gallagher
should be given cent.
"If we had decided that the men were
entitled to purse" said Mitchell, ''it
would give black eve to the goddess of
athletics in this City and would have
drawn down severe censure upon the club.
Others would DE encouraged to use foul
tactics in the ring, and the organization
would acquire bad reputation"

4 large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Lincoln Republican Club of North Beach
was held at their clubrooms, corner of
Powell and Union streets, Friday evening,
July 3. Over 200 of the mem bers were
prese MT. President Henry S. Martin called
the meeting to order, and in a stirring ad-
dress advised the mem bers of the club to
urge their Republican friends of the Forty
fourth district TO get registered as early as
possible.
John Gleason, chairman of the picnic
committee, reported that the picnic held
at Schuetzen Park Sunday, June %, was a
success both socially and financially. The
Lincoln Club has 100 members for a drill
corps TO participate in the campaign.
Speeches were then made by Alexander
Campbell Jr., Fred l.. Jones, John Glea-
son, Thomas Mullen and others. The fol-
lowing resolution was then introduced by
Z. Kendall and adopted by the club:
WHEREAS. The administration of National af-
fairs by the Democrat ic party and the bills OF
the Wilson-Gorman tariff for revenue only plan
have resulted in the utter ruin and the de-
moralization OF the industries of America
and whereas the principle OF protection 10

Foreign newspapers that enter Russia
are invariably subjected to examination
by the postal authorities before being de-
Hvered to the person to whom they are ad-
dressed and if the censor finds anything
therein that is Objectionable either to the
imperial family or to the Government he
passes a roller of printers ink over the
portion of the paper 10 which exception is
taken, the journal frequently at the end of
the process presenting an aspect similar
tothat of chessboard. Sometimes the
pos al authorities take the trouble to send
a paper thus treated on to its destination,
but in the majority of cases it is merely
pitched aside and is never heard OF again.
1t is the same in Roumania, a country
from which almost every New York news
paper was vigorously barred at the time of
the Helen Vacaresco scandal, in conse-
ouence of unfavorable comments upon
the conduct of Crown Prince Ferdinand
and of Queen Carmen Sylvia in the affair.
In number of instances the Govern
ment, in addition to barring out the OBJ
jectionable foreign newspaper, likewise
denies it the privilege of maintaining a
correspondent within its domInions, the
most notable instance that occurs at the
present moment being that of the London
Telegraph, which is forbidden to have any
correspondent in Russia, the letters which
1T receives from that country being sent at
the peril of the writer, who incurs the
danger not alone of expulsion. but of i'm

peculiar phase Of this latest action of
the Southern Pacific Company is the right
it arrogates to itself of violating the PLAIN
reading of the constitution of the State,
which says:
And whenever railroad corporation shall,
for the purpose of competing with any other
common carrier, lower its rates for transpOrta-
ton of passengers or freight from one point to
another, such reduced rates shall not be again
raised or increased from such standard with
out the consent of the governmental author
ity in which shall be vested the power to regu-
late fares and freights,
1t is surmised from this that the COM
pany has not only determined to ignore the
existence of the Railroad Commission, but
to defy the power of the State to control it
in any way or by any method.
