Patriots Warning.
From Leslie's Weekly.

This country has had few more
unselhsh patriots of faithful servants than
General Francis E. Spinner, who, as
Treasurer of the United States during
the most trying financial crisis through
which we have ever passed-the period
of the Civil War-justly won a world
wide reputation as one of the ablest,
most conservative, and experienced f.
nanciers. During the closing years OF
his life General Spinner was a great suf-
ferer from cancer of the face, but during
the whole period of his suffering, down
to his latest breath, he manifested the
keenest interest in public affairs, and
especially in the financial question, as to
which he wrote freely for the newspa-
pers. His very last article was pub
shed in Leslie's Weekly. In this he
discussed the subject of the increased
coinage of silver, and warned the coun-
try that free coinage would precipitate
financial panic. His words have pc
culiar and a pathetic interest at this
time. We quote the closing paragraph
of his article:
81 am nearly So years old, and for
more than half century have watched
and taken an interest in the monetary
and commercial affairs of our country.

subserve. am standing confronting

and love its people more. The pros

generations that are to follow, are the
subjects of solicitude nearest my heart.

have the gold in the Treasury, but all
that sixty-hve million people possess, as
a guarantee for its redemption. Such
an arrangement of the currency would
constitute the Treasury of the United
States into safe insurance office against
commercial revulsons and monetary
panics. On the other hand, IAN lily consti-

Firecrackers in China.


From the New York Evening Post
Firecrackers are also used to bring rain
when it is needed. They are not eXplod-
ed on scientific principles, but simply to
attract the attention of Lung Wong, the
rain god. If, after repeated salvos. the
drought continues, the deity is supposed
to be asleep, and active measures are
taken. The chief officials of the district
dressed in mourning and followed bv
numbers of sorrowing farmers, visit his
temple. In front of the procession are
carried four silken banners decorated with
the characters representing wind. rain.

RAILROAD MEN MULCTEO
Employees of the San Mateo Line
Lose Their Guarantee
Deposits.
Judge Seawell Decides They Must
Take the Same Chance as the
BondholdarS.

When the San Francisco and San Mateo
Railroad was recently sold. Judge Seawell
ordered that $40, 600 be left in the hands OF
the receiver to meet incidental expenses.
lvor Jones brought suit asking that he be
allowed $1075 out of this money on claims
assigned him by forty-three employees OF
the railroad who when they were engaged
were each required to place in the hands
OF the company $25 as a guarantee for the
faithful performance of their duties.
Jones asked that the money be paid be-
fore the bondholders of the company were
paid anything. Judge Seawell, however,
refused to allow this, saying:
do not think 1 have any power to grant
any relief 10 the petitioner, Ivor Jones. The
record and. all proceedings in the case are be-
lore me on the hearing of this application. 1t
appears therefrom that the sum of 500, 900
mentioned In the petition is not retained for
the purpose OF paying generally such claims
as have prior equity to those of the bond
holders, but only to protect the receiver
against any contingent claims for which he
may be hereafter adjudged to be liable and in
Cured Dy him While he was acting as receiver.
In all other respects the proceeds of the sale
OF the road and its appurtenances have been
fully disposed of by the final decree. The
erect OF granting the application would be to
alter the decree already entered, in an i'm
portant particular, and do not think / have
any power to grant the relief prayed, either in
the manner proposed or by petition, unless
the decree De f1rst set aside or modified Until
that is done the proceeds of sale must be dis
tributed as required by the decree It is
scarcely necessary to say that none OF the
claims assigned to Mr.. Jones were incurred by
the receiver as an expense of the receivership.
AS 10 Wnether the claim OF Mr.. Jones is of q
character TO entltle him to a preference over
the pondholders, express no opinion. The
application Oh Mr. Jones is therefore denied.

THE KUHLMAN CASE.

Judge Wallace Sends 1t to the Supreme
Court for Decision.
The DR.. c. G. Kuhlman- Coroner Hawk
ins imbrogllo will now go before the Su-
preme Court. The case was up before
Judge Wallace yesterday, and he techni-
cally decided in favor of the Coroner, but
it was with the understanding that the
matter was to go before the higher tribu-
nal that his jurisdiction in the case might
be defined.
Coroner Hawkins committed Dr. Kuhl-
man to the County Jail for ten days for
contempt for refusing to be- sworn in the
Sonderap inquest. The physician pro-
cured writ of habeas corpus, made re-
turnable before Judge " allace. The lat
ter was not sure of his position IN the
matter, the law being rather mixed.
1t seems that under the old law of 1872
matters of this sort pertaining to the Coro-
ner of San Francisco must be referred to
the old County Court, which court was
abolished by the law of 1880, its power be-
ing superseded by the present Superior
Court. However, as the law of 1872 pro-
vided only for,the Coroner of San Fran
cisco, Judge Wallace looks upon it as
special legislation, and as such is not sure
OF his jurisdiction. The matter will, there

now, and when the mill and concentrator
recently built are in full operation l have
no doubt the product will be three car
loads day.
But the Rico mine is the richest silver
producing property in the Northwest, and,
perhaps. in all America. Two carloads
turned out of that mine netted $17,o70 and
the average is about $500 ton, taking first
and second class ores. The mine is now
paying about $100, 900 year. 1t win take
five years to mine out the ore in sight IN
the Rico without developing any new
