Reports of the Breaking of Big Restraining
Dams

Reports of the Breaking of Big Restraining
Dams
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2S.--At the meeting
of the executive committee of the State
Anti-Debris association held in the super
visors' room today, reports were read
showing that some of the big restraining
dams had broken during the recent storm.
thereby precipitating thousands of cubic
yards of debris into the streams of the val
ley.
One of the dams which broke was the
solid rock dam in New York Flat, in Yuba
county. Tons of debris had gathered be-
hind this wall, thereby tending to strength
ell the structure, but the rushing waters of
the Yuba proved too much for the wall of
ried out clear to the bottom of the stream.
The York Mining company's dam was
also carried out by the high water, but the
worst disaster was that to the Omega mine
dam. This was the largest restraining
dam yet built in the state, and was consid-
cred perfectly safe. But it had to succumb,
and the debris which few days ago was
deposited in tons behind the restraining
wall is now scattered over miles of river
bed.
A protest was filed against the petition
of Philip Spauldng to build what is to be
known as the Liberty Hill dam on the Bear
river, it not being thought advisable to
take any chances with dam at that point.
The association elected George Ohleyer,
John G. White, Robert T. Devlin and w. T.
Pipps as legislative committee.

THE lyman CASE
Imposing Array Of Legal Talent in a Tangled

Imposing Array of Legal Talent in a Tangled
Case
MODESTO, Jan. 2S.-The suit of Mrs. E.
A. Woodside and Mrs. L. Fuquay against
their stepfather, DR.. T. E. lyman, for ac-
counting is on trial in the superior court
and a jury was secured today. AT a for
mer trial, in October, 1894, DIR. lyman had
been missing for year, and the most dill
gent search failed to locate him. The
trial to declare him legally dead resulted
in no verdict, the majority of the jury de-
claring that they believed him dead, how
ever. Subsequently Judge Miner made an
order to the effect that DR.. lyman was le-
gally dead, and Judge A. Hewell was NOM
mated in accordance with a will made by
lyman. The trial resulted in verdict for
the plaintiffs and two stepdaughters of DR..
lyman by former marriage for three
fifths of the estate, which was appraised
at $157, 900. An appeal to the supreme
court was taken and a few months
ago lengthy decision in the case was
made involving many legal points, and the
case was remanded for a new trial. Shortly
after the verdict had been reached in the
former trial DR.. lyman, who had been in
Boston two years, returned, and later pro-
bate proceedings were dismissed. Now
the case comes up for second trial under
the title of E. A. Woodside ct al. vs.. T. E.
lyman.
The first action taken was that of va
eating and setting aside the order appoint
ing Judge A. Hewell as executor. Today
Governor Budd, one of the counsel for the
plaintiffs, arrived, and expects to remain
three or four days. The attorneys in the
case are Governor Buud, L. j. Maddux and
P. j. Hazen for plaintiffs, and D. M. Del
mas of San francisco, w. H. Hatton and
L. w. FulKerth for the defendant, DIR.

THURSTON WAS INDISCREET
In That He Maintained Press
Bureau
The Hawaiian Diolomat Knew Why He Was
Recalled Long Before His Gov.
ernment Did

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-"Lorin A. Thurston
begged Secretary Gresham not to forward
his letter of recall to Honolulu" said X.
M. Landis, who was the private secretary
of the dead secretary of state, land offered
if the letter was not sent to Immediately
return to Hawaii and tender his resigna-
ton as minister to this country.'
Mr.. Lands returned to Chicago today.
He had read the charges of Mr.. Thurston
against Gresham and President Cleveland.
AS the private secretary and confident of
Mr.. Gresham during the last years of his
life. he said:
"Long prior to the recall of Thurston it
was known that he was maintaining. in
the Hawaiian legation at Washington, a
press bureau. This was known to the
members of the diplomatic corps, and to
the best posted men on newspaper row.
The object of this bureau was to secure the
publication of matter abusive of the ad-
ministration and those Americans who op-
posed the annexation of Hawaii.
IAN original draft of All article coming
from Mr.. Thurston was secured and SUBJ
nlitted to Secretary Gresham. He delayed
several days in considering it, but finally
Mr.. Thurston was called to the state de-
partment and the original shown to him.
'Thurston said that he had been indis-
Greet, had not meant to say what he did,
| and regretted that the matter had taken
that turn. He left the office apologizing
for the matter and promising that it should
| not occur again.
LAS a matter of fact, it was learned
afterward by the state department that
this attack on the administration which
Thurston permitted newspaper correspond
ents to copy in his office came, on the
statement of Thurston, not from himself.
but from their minister of foreign affairs
of Hawaii, Hatch. AS I understand it,
Hatch himself prepared the matter, and it
was forwarded to Thurston for dissemina-
ton.
II regret the whole discussion from the
one point of view, that Secretary Gresham
is dead. 1 cannot speak for the White
House. But from all can understand and
learn Mr.. Thurston occupied the unpleas-
ant position of being in bad odor in his
own country.
mo ate official of the government was
bound by any code of diplomacy to endure
perpetually the press attacks which Mr..
Thurston authorized from the legation of
which he was the head. Mr.. Thurston did
not deny the origin of these attacks and he
knew why he was recalled, through Secre-
tary Gresham, long before his government
did''

STANFORD CASE ARGUMENT
To Be Concluded in the Supreme Court
Today
Mr.. Choate Speaks for the Estate, Claiming
No Liability for Debts OF the
Railroad Corporation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Argument was
begun in the supreme court today in the
case of the United States VS.. Mrs. Jane l..
Stanford, widow and executrix of the will
of the late Senator Stanford, to recover
from the Stanford estate Stanford's pro-
portion of alleged individual liability for
bonds of the Central Pacific Railroad COM
pany. Over 81 8, 100000 is involved. The
suit comes to the supreme court on appeal
from the decision of the circuit court of ap-
peals for the ninth circuit. Argument for
the government was begun by Assistant
Acknowledgement Dickinson, who spoke
about two hours. Mr.. Choate followed in
Mrs. Stanford's behalf.
Mr.. Choate's argument was largely tech
nical, possessing very little of the charac-
ter of a personal appeal. He consented
that the successive acts of congress relat-
ing to the Central Pacific and Union Pa
cific roads should be read together, and
said that being so read they demonstrate
that congress intended them to cover the
entire relations of the government to all of
the companies with respect to subsidy
bonds, without reference to the laws of the
states through which the road passed, to
which they were superior; that the roads
were national institutions, military high
ways and mail routes; that the functions
and liabilities of all the Pacific reads were
the same. and that it was not intended
to impose a burden upon the stock
holders in, one company which was
not imposed upon the stockholders in the
other company; and that as to both COM
panies the government looked to the COM
panies alone for the performance of all
that the acts imposed. These acts did not
contemplate the personal liability of the
stockholders of either road, but on the
contrary did intend that there should be
no personal liability of the stockholders
for the bonds. He demonstrated that no
such liability was imposed upon the
Union Pacific bondholders and contended
that it was the purpose of the United
States to place all the subsidized roads on
an equal footing. Hence the Central Pa
cif1c stockholders should be relieved of all
personal liability, notwithstanding any
laws of the state of California to the
contrary.
The argument will be concluded tomor-
row.

MILES ON COAST DEPENSES
The Union Has No Coast Defenses Worthy t
Name

The Union Has No Coast Defenses Worthy the
Name
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Major General
Miles, commanding the army, before the
committee on defenses today made
statement of the condition of the coast de-
fenses on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and the gulf of Mexico. He stated
that the guns now mounted at Savannah,
Charleston and other ports are smooth
bores of obsolete pattern and useless and
are mounted upon rotten carriages.
The only places where the provision has
been made for any considerable defense
are New York, San Francisco and Boston,
and defenses at these places are entirely
inadequate and insufficient. He said that
our cities are open to attack by any coun-
try having large navy, and that it would
take years to create the necessary arma-
ment. He estimated the entire cost of
coast defenses for adequate protection of
the country at about $50, 900, 900 for forti-
fcatons and guns This would not in
clude the cost of ammunition and pro-
iectiles.

AN INSANITY DEFENSE
To Be 1ade-The Case of q Sacramento
Murderer

To Be rade-The Case of q Sacramento
Murderer
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2S.-A jury has been
secured in the superior court to try Will
lam Christ for the murder of his wife. 1t
is understood that an insanity defense will
be made. District Attorney Ryan in his
opening statement said that all of the con-
tents of the room where the tragedy oc-
Cured would be introduced in evidence.
Photographs of the face and hand of Mrs.
Christ, badly powder marked, will
be presented. He said that it
would be shown that defendant
has made different and contradictory
statements as to the manner in which the
homicide occurred. 1t will show that ex-
periments have been made by DR.. White
regarding the effect of powder marks and
at what distance they will show. 1t will
be shown that Mrs. Christ must have been
sitting on the lounge, which will be intro
duced in evidence.
When Christ was arrested he said that
his revolver dropped from q shelf, struck
the floor and exploded and that the bullet
struck her in the head. AS the bullet
ranged downward in the skull, it is con-
tended by the prosecution that the killing
could not have occurred as defendant
alleged.
