THEIR PLEDGES IGNORED.

FRESNO, CAL, March 9.-Scnator
Goucher goes cunning for large game in
the field of California Democracy in to-
days Watchman. His leading editorial
arraigns three prominent Democrats in
true Goucher style. 1t is as follows:
John Daggett Of the United States
Mint; John II. Wise. Collector of the Port
az San Francisco, and J. H. Budd, Gov
ernor of California, have seemed to take
deep delight in denying fair proportion
of the patronage to the Democrats OF
Fresno County. They will not and they
cannot give any just reason for this, but OF
course they may promptly deny that ne
glect of Fresno was premeditated affrOnt.
From the ranks of the Democracy here
as capable men can be taken as fill any
stations under the officers mentioned. In
fact the Fresno Democracy has many
members equal in mental and other essen
tial equipments to Daggett, Wise and
Budd. The Democracy OF Fresno has
been faithful body of men. 1t has
never faltered in its endeavors even in the
party's darkest and stormiest hours. The
these officers and their friends the local
Democracy has plunged al unstinting
hand into funds that should have gone to
wives and children. 1t has worn off shoe
soles that cost final dollars parading
around the streets cheering for Dem mocratic
leaders, who tied gratitude and memory
together and threw them both away as
soon as the votes were counted. We know
of no man in Fresno County who has
aspired to any appointment who seeks ap-
pointment now. But the fact remains that
the Democracy has been isolated, deserted
and left to such fate as it could make. We
will make the fate a good one. When the
smooth lads call this way again, button
holing for votes, we are all likely to have
nervous prostration, too, brought on by
such ceas seless imp portunings for office.
1.-The machinery all runs with delicious
perfection when we are doing all the favors,
BUT when we ask one it throws the debtor
into spasms, banquet or a duck-hunt.
With all the Federal and most of the State
patronage in Democratic hands the Fresno
Democracy has one lonely, sad-eyed rep
resentatiye holding down a slippery ap-
pointment.
at may teach a timely lesson to COM
pare this with the fact that the Repub-
Ii cans of Fresno have two men holding
good places in the State Capitol building
alone, viz: w. T. Senson, Deputy Secre-
tary of State, and G. w. Fuller, watchman
of the State Treasury. 1t has almost come
to the point where Fresno man must be
a Republican or a kicker to get any ap-
pointment.

places to the barroom FOUNDERS and dude
tailor dummies of San Francisco. Fresno
will prosper and it asks no favors."

ARNO'S DOUBLE MURDER
Simon Raten Has Confessed That
He Took the Lives of Two
Japanese.
Strong Chain of Circumstantial Evi.
dence Forged Around the
Suspect.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 9-Link
by link chain of circumstantiaI evidence
is being forged about Simon Raten, who
was arrested by Sheriff Johnson on Satur-
day evening for the murderer of the two
japanese slain near Arno station last
Tuesday. While investigating as to the
date on which Raten went to work for
Farmer Rutter, Oh whose ranch he was
arrested, Under Sheriff Dan Reese to-day
learned that Raten had acknowledged
that he had killed two Japanese few
days before he secured employment.
When Raten applied for employment he
stated that he was an expert machinist,
and as Rutter had an engine in need of
repairs, he engaged him. Rutter sent a
Chinaman named Ah Kow to assist Raten
on the engine. This Chinaman has been
in Rutters employ for nearly thirty years,
and the latter states he is absolutely truth
full and trustworthy.
After the two men had been working for
time Raten questioned the Chinaman in
regard to the amount of wages he received.
and the conversation then turned to the
low rate of wages which the japanese
were willing to labor for.
Raten expressed himself as greatly an
tagonistic to Japanese and told the China
man that he had killed two Japs the day
before, but instead of saying that he had
shot them, he claimed that he had beat
them to death with club.
There are many other minor facts in the
possession of Sheriff Johnson that lead
him to believe that Raten is without
doubt the murderer.

CARSON MINT METHODS
Experts Discharged to Prevent
the Detection of Bogus
Melts.
George Mclaughlin Gives Telling Tes.
timony at the Trial of
John 7. Jones.

CARSON, NEv., March 9.-The main
feature of to-day's testimony IN the trial
of John T. Jones, the alleged bullion thief
was that given by George Mclaughlin,
who for many years was the pressman and
chief mechanical expert of the mint. He
is the inventor of several devices now in
use in the United States mints, and is a
man of recognized ability throughout the
mint service. He testified positively that
the bogus melt was cast in molds in use in
the deposit melting-room; that the person
who stamped the bars had but little expe-
rience, as the stamping was very Irregular
and the dies had not been held straight in
the hand. Under the glass he detected
ire gularities in the dies, which were re-
produced in the metal. He demonstrated
that some OF the figures on the bars had
been stamped when the bar was hot and
soft and others when the bar was cold.
The settlement numbers had a polished
appearance, showing cold stamping. He
demonstrated that the melt was made
some time ago by reason of its tarnished
surface, and the indentation of the figures
stamped in the deposit melting-room had
dirt deposited in the bottom.
Mclaughlin declared that the bogus
melt claimed by the Government to have
been made on June q, 1893, was consider
ably older than melt 211 made in 1895.
1t was shown that in anticipation of the
manufacture of the bogus melt, the plot
tiers against the Government had suspend
ed the experts in the melting-room and
supplanted them with raw hands in order
that the character OF the bogus melt would
pass unnoticed.
Frank Oliver, one of the inexperienced
helpers SWore that on June 81 1893 they
worked until 9 O'Clock at night on what
he supposed was slum melts and Potosi
bullion. Ellis. the assayer, testified that he
supposed from the returns from the melt
ing-room that gold bar was being re-
melted, but thought it strange, as there
was no occasion for a remelt of the bar.
The Government claims that the bar was
not remelted, but pretense made of do
ing so in order to cover up the real busi-
ness of the day, which was the doctoring
of the spurious melt in order to have it
pass in the approaching July settlement.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 9.-The
executive committee of the State Central
Committee of the American Bimetallic
party will hold meeting at the office OF
ex-United States Senator Cornelius Cole in
this city, beginning at noon tomorrow.
The meeting will be most important one
to the extreme silver men, for it is ex-
pected to adopt resolutions locking toward
placing the leadership OF the silver men in
the hands of Senator Morgan OF Alabama
and Senator Allen of Nebraska.
With these gentlemen as standard-bear
ers in the coming National campaign, the
one a candidate for the presidency and the
Other for the Vice Presidency 1t is the hope
of the bimetallic party to unite the South
and the West into an electoral college ma
jority of from % TO 80 and advance the
cause of silver independent of either the
Republican or Democratic parties.
The leaders of the movement in this
State propose to inaugurate National
movement at this time by the resolutions
that are being prepared to-day and which
will be submitted at the meeting for adop-
ton. In the resolutions they expect TO
call upon the Senators to allow themselves
TO head the movement and cut loose from
their present party affiliations, to the ex-
tent that is necessary for them to carry
out the purposes OF the bimetallic party.
Chairman Enoch Pepper to-day stated
that it would be hopeless to do anything
with the East, which was essentially COM
mitted to gold, but he believed with the
South and West solidified the silver men
could have a decided majority; 1t might
be small, but effective nevertheless. Sem
atcr Morgan, he said, with the devotion of
his people to him in the South, would be
more than match for Carlisle.
That he had been Confederate general
he did not believe would cut any figure
now, especially as Congress had recently
seen fit to remove all political disabilities,
and with Allen and his 5000, 600 Populists
and the silver men of the West under one
common banner, he was very sanguine of
a creditable showing for the bimetalIlc
party.

The Entire Fleet of Revenue
Cutters to Hasten to the
North.
Unusual Vigilance to Be Exercised in
Guarding Seals in the Pre-.
scribed Zone.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH. March o.
1t was learned here to-day that the Treas
ury Department has issued orders to fit
out and prepare with all dispatch the rev.
enue cutters now on this coast. The cap
tain of the Corwin has received instruc-
tions to at once take aboard stores for a
six months cruise to Alaska and the Be-
ring Sea. The revenue cutter Bear is to
arrive here on April IL. All the cutters
available for service on the coast are said
to have received similar orders.
The receipt of such orders at go early &
date is considered quite unusual by those
who are familiar with the revenue cutter
services. 1t is believed that it is the in
tention of the Treasury Department to
exercise much more vigilance this season
than last III preventing the wholesale
slaughter of seals within the forbidden
zone in Bering Sea. Last year the cutter
Grant was the last to leave here for Bering
Sea, sailing on May %; but according to
present plans the whole feet of cutters
will sail north from here not later than
April Is. The revenue cutter Wolcott is
daily expected here from Alaska. 1t left

TACOMA, WASH, March 9.-Miki Saito
japanese Consul at this port, received in
formation by the steamship Victoria from
Yokohama that new Japanese steamship
company, fathered by the imperial Gov
ernment. will have Japan-Great Britain
line in operation before the end of the
present month. The first steamer, the
Tosa Maru, will leave Yokohama about
the 18th on its initial voyage to London,
calling at Hongkong, Bombay, Singapore,
Port Said and Mediterranean ports. There
will be six vessels in the line, the inten-
ton being to have one in port at each
terminus and four on the way constantly.
The Tosa MaTu is vessel of about 1000
tons, and was used as a transport during
the Chinese-Japanese war. 1t has been
entirely remodeled. The Government
will now commence the construction of
several new steamships. When completed
they will go on the Great Britain line,
and the present ships will be put on the
Japanese-American line, which has been
so long a pet prospect of the Japanese
Government and about which so much
has been printed. The Pacific Coast ter
minus of the line has not yet been Sc

Etn6exxIe7aeaf.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 9.-The
case of Frank Lowry was called for trial
this morning before Judge Smith. Lowry
was the chief deputy clerk of the county
under Clerk Ward from January, 1898, to
January, 1895. and in his position he had
charge of the funds which came into the
hands of the Clerk. 1t is claimed that be-
tween the 18th OF October and the 22d of
Decem Der, 1894, he embezzled $1354 80. 1t
Is for this that he is now on trial.
The alleged embezzlement occurred
through his having paid out various sums
of money, aggregating the amount of the
default, for county minor expenses. He is
said TO have received warrants from the
Supervisors to replace this money, but not
to have turned the warrants inio the funds
of the Office
The loss to the county has been made
good by Mr.. Ward, who is now Clerk of
the Supreme Court, but this does not re-
lieve Lowry from responsibility to the law
for the alleged offense.
Mr.. Ward has been subpenaed from Sac
ramento and is attending the trial. A
jury was secured late this afternoon.

Two hot first choices crossed the plate in

"Doc" Robbins made neat little clean,
up in the opening four-furlong dash with
his two-year-old Mary K. The talent
overlooked the fact that the tilly liked a
fast track and let her go to the post 4 to l.,
making Gordon to 2favorite. The fillv
