Charles R. Karatar, Caspar Stem, L. w.

: There was much discussion as to whether
rabbit-hunts at the Presidio athletic
grounds should be discontinued. Messrs.
Chenowith and Rockwell, two of the lead
ing spirits in the movement for the organ
ization of a Fox-terrler Coursing Club,
were called upon for statements as to the
manner in which the sport is carried on.
1t was at length decided that the society
should take no action in the matter for the

MJWRY ON HIS METTLE
Futile Attempt to Show That a
Witness for the Defense
Was Intimidated.
t. sstimony introduced Tending tc
Show Wong Sam as Person
of Fad Character.

The only feature of the Williams trial
Yesterday was the attempt of the defense
to show that one of their witnesses, Hong
Teung. had been intimidated by Wong
Hing Shing, president of the Wong So
ciety.
Teung said that while in the witness
chair the day before be was prevented
from telling the truth by the presence IN
the courtroom of Shing.
did he beekon or make motion to you
in any way?" asked Mr.. Schlessinger.
NO" was the reply.
why did you not tell the court if you
were afraid2"
81 do not know"
Then it developed that Teung was able
TO tell more than ne had the day before,
because Shing was not in the courtroom.
incidentally it was brought out that Will
liams and Attorney Mowry had long
talk with the witness after court ad-
journed Wednesday afternoon. Nothing
of the conversation, however, was offered
IN evidence.
At the conclusion of the days session
Wong Hing Shing was brought into court
on a charge of contempt. 1t took him
just fifteen minutes to satisfy his Honor
that Teung had not been corrupted. os
the contrary, Shing had urged the witness
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-28

to tell the whole truth under penalty OF
being sent to San Quentin for perjury.
Outside of the incident above related
the defense occupied the attention of the
court in a vain attempt to impeach the
character of Wong Sam. In ali ten wit
nesses were called as follows: Inspector
John Lynch, Quock Woh, Chin Toy, Oh
ficer Hutchens. A. G. Newberry, George
w. Duffield, Al. Manley, Samuel j. Rud-
dell and Thomas j. McGrath. The testi-
mony of Lynch was rather against VII
hams than otherwise.
it was brought out on cross-examination
that the defendant had always been ac-
corded certain privileges by Collector
Wise. Other inspectors were compelled
to make a report on every case lnvestl-
gated, but in many instances Williams
was not required to do this. His verbal
statement that case was all right was
generally accepted.
At 4 o'clock court adjourned until next
Monday, when the defense will proceed
with its case. The prosecution has evil
dence TO offer in rebuttal, so 1t is not prob
able that the jury will be given the case
under ten days. Collector Wise will be
called as witness for the defense next
Monday.

FIRE DEPARTMENT CASH
A Handsome Surplus Remained
in Hand After Paying All
Disbursements.
Saving of About 100 Per Cent Shown
in the Harness. Makers
Department.

The Fire Commissioners met yesterday
afternoon. The resignation of I. Nc
Auliffe OF truck 1 was accepted, and
Harry Floyd was appointed to fill the
vacancy. An application from the Super
intendent of Streets for 500 feet OF hose for
flushing purposes was not entertained.
showed that the Superintendent had al
ready received during his administration
1000 feet OF hose, and only 400 feet was
now fit for use.
The report for the past fiscal year was
submitted. 1t showed that the expendi-
ture for the year had been $717602 6s,
leaving surplus on hand of $797 so.
During the year seven new engine COM
panies and two monitor batteries had been
organized and two hose companies dis
banded. Seven new houses and one stable
had been built and extensive alterations
had been made to ten houses. There had
been purchased two lots of land. six new
steam fire-engines, seventeen hose-wagons
one thrd-class truck, 20, 800 feet of hose
and eighty-one horses.
Two monitor batteries have been built
by the mechanics of the department; 774
new hydrants have been set, making a
total of 3091. There is now 343 miles of
water-pipe available for fire purposes and
SO, 300 feet of hose in service.
The total insurance on buildings and
contents destroyed or partly destroyed by
fire amounted to $4.s22, ,756 53. The total
loss was 1898, 555 sc. and the total insur-
ance paid was $S83,893 OIL.
The Chief among other things recon-
mends that light-draft. high-po fire
boat with large pumping capacity be pro-
vided that there should be fully paid
Fire Department; that keyless doors be
provided for fire alarm boxes IN the mer-
camille districts; that all wires, telephone
and telegraph, be placed underground; !;
that at least 100 cisterns be built with di-
rect connection from the water mains, so
that several engines could pump out OF
them, thereby bringing the engines closer
to the fire and saving loss to hose through
long leads.
The report embodies an interesting re-
sumo of all the work done during the
year in the mechanical and other
branches OF the department. In the har-
ness-makers' report a saving of about 100
per cent was shown in hose covers,
blankets and all other articles caused by
purchasing the material wholesale and
making the articles instead of as form erly
having the articles supplied even by the
lowest bidder.

BACK FROM THEIR HUNT,
The Antelope and Deer Which
P. K. Gordon and Attorney

PIX. Gordon of the passenger depart-

They went from here to Reno, where
they were Joined by John Sparks, the Ne

via Wells, accompanied by several Reno
gentlemen, in buggies and wagons to the

the great Sparks cattle-ranch, which COM
prises between 1000. 600 and 8, ,000, 900 acres.

water and grass. Mr.. Gordon says they
succeeded in getting nine deer, three ante
lope and fish, grouse and sagehens without
number.
'The deer were very plentiful" said he,
"and we could easily have killed many
more, but we had no use for them. We
brought back, as it was, a mum Der of hams
and a good deal of jerked meat. We saw
hundreds of antelope, but they are very
hard to kill, because they go IN bands and
fairly sweep the hills like the wind.
81 never saw so many grouse and sage
hens. They were everywhere, that is
when We got to .he best hunting districts.
AS for trout, there was no estimating the
number caught, and that we could have
caught. 1t was a magnificent trip.
This great cattle ranch on which we
hunted extends from Wells into Southern
Idaho and over into Utah.

PROBABLY A CANARD.
Rumors of Plan to Annex Hawaii
or Overthrow Its Present
Government.

E. G. Macfarlane and F. W. Macfarlane
are at the California Hotel, having arrived
yesterday in the City from Honolulu. In
quiry was made of them last evening con-
cerning rumor that Minister Willis, who
recently visited the United States, was
empowered to enter into negotiations tor
either Hawaiian annexation or monarch
ical form of Government with Kaiulani
on the throne, or an American protector
ate, the choice of either form of govern
ment to be left to vote of the people.
This rumor is interesting, but neither OF
the Messrs. Macfarlane has any knowl-
edge concerning it. or if he has he
refuses to disclose it. Neither would be
interviewed last night, nor could any re-
sponse be secured to a question concern
ing the subiect-matter which was written
upon a slip of paper and sent in.
The general impression is that the rumor
is only q canard.
