meeting was held this afternoon at which
w. w, Van Arsdale, manager OF the Siski-
Won Lumber and Mercantile Company,
stated, upon request, his reasons for en-
nIovine Chinese on the McCloud River
Railroad. He said he had 25O white labor
ers. but needed seventy-ive Chinese to
work at grading. as there were not enough
whites. He had only twenty-five Chinese
when they were driven off. He would put
all whites to work, up to 400, II they
could be engaged, but even then he needed
Chinese. He had trouble in hiring white
men who could stand the work. The COM
pany, he said, must manage to complete
the road this season to point twenty-five
miles distant, where big mill is to be
built next spring. fit could not 1t would
stop construction altogether for this year,
as otherwise the money invested would be

The property-owners and business men

Auburn, CAL. Aug. 11.-Sweet Auburn,
loveliest village of all that lie in golden
sunshine on the rolling hills of pine and
oak where slopes the grand Sierra toward
the sea; Auburn of the bright blue sky, of
gentle airs that watt refreshing GOODNESS to
the brow, where blooms the oleander in a
wilderness of white and pink beside the
deep-green orange. the gray olive, the leafy
fig, the clustering vine; Auburn in whose
red bosom CLEANS the yellow gold was
glad to-day and decked as becomes bride
Her loyalty, her patriotism, futtered
among the shady bowers in stripes of red
and white, with field of blue with stars
thereon, the flag that floats above the
freest, fairest on all the whirling globe.
1t was Republican day. The sunny
afternoon was spent IN council by the
faithful men whose duty it was to repre-
sent the loyalty of Placer County before
the Nation.
The arrival OF the county convention
delegates and the big Republican gather
ing for the evening had caused the wooded
hills to deck themselves with gorgeous
colors, and when the rosy west was melt
ing into the blue beneath the slender silver
crescent OF the young moon, the gardens
giowed with paper lanterns diffusing a
mellow yellow light amid the deepening
of the shadows where the rose. the lilac
and the magnolia breathed their sweet
perfume on the evening air.
The session of the county convention,
which was held in the afternoon and
evening in the opera-h ouse, was dis
tinguished by two notable incidents.
One was the introduction of a reso-
luton indorsing for United States
Senator, Hon. George G. Perkins, and
instructrng the nominee for the As
semby if elected, to vote for Senator Per-
kins' reelection. This resolution was put
to the house and was defeated by an over
whelming majority.
The other notable incident was the en-
thusiastic reception accorded to the Hon.
Samuel M. Shortridge of San Francisco.
AS soon as he made his appearance at the
back of the parquet, insistent calls were
made for him to speak. In response to
this enthusiastic outburst, Chairman
Hawk appointed e committee of two to
escort Mr.. Shortridge to the platform and
called upon him for few remarks. Mr..
Shortridge said:
Gentlemen of the convention and fellow
citizens of Placer County: If the candi-
dates which you are to nominate are

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. IL. - The
Turner'S spent this, the fourth and last
day of the festival, as it pleased their
fancy. Many found it an agreeable change
from the almost ceaseless gvmnastic eIer-
cises of the second and third days. This
was the morning latter the ball, and
many were late in rising, so that the ex-
cursions TO the various points of interest
in the neighborhood were late in getting
under way. The largest number of visi-
tors drove to the Big Trees. They took
well-tilied baskets along and picnicked un-
der the trees. Others drove the five miles
down to Capitola or went L. train and
spent the day between the hotel, the beach
and dipping in the surf The Santa Cruz
winery and the C ifs were points of attrac-
tion to others. The day was full of pleas
ure for all.
At o'clock in the afternoon several
Thousand people gathered at the beach to
witness the grand prize lance tournament
in open boats on the bosom of the rolling
bay.
This had been advertised as the event Of
the day and people came for miles to see
it. After waiting till nearly s O'Clock it
dawned on the multitude that the contest,
with the $40 prize for the winner, was not
going to take place and they turned their
faces toward home. 1t appears that the
management acted in entirely good faith
with the public. The boats were afoat
and the lances we're ready. The trouble
was that no one would enter for the diff
cult contest.
In the evening there wers probably 5000
people on the beach to see the fireworks
and attend the other exercises. Red lights
and huge fires burned on the beach and
illuminated the faces of the multitude.
The faces were lost to view in the night
in every direction except one, and that
was toward the water. A band furnished
music for the occasion.

the mileage of the railroads of the country,
the amount involved reaches from $40,-
000, 900 to $4,000, 600 a year. Besides the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific systems
there are the Northern Pacific, the Texas
and Kansas roads, the Rock Island and
the numerous roads in Missouri, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Nebraska.
The decision, however, is not applica
BILE to the land-grant roads alone, but ap-
plies to all the railroads in the coun try,
and is not confined to Government busi-
ness, but involves the right of Congress to
fix the compensation for all charges by the
railroads for interstate commerce.

Les ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALL

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. II. J

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. IL.
Judge Welborn of the United States Cir
cult Court to-day handed down decision
of great moment, involving entirely new
and original questions touching the right
of Congress to regulate the rates charg-
able by the railroads of the country in the
conduct of interstate commerce business.
1t is probab bly, the most important deci-
sion ever rendered, as affecting the rights
and privileges of railroad corporations.
The amount involved is as large as that OF
the income tax, and the principles laid
down by the court are as important in
New York and Massachusetts, as in Cali
fornia.
The issues settled by this decision are
those arising between the Government OF
the United States and land-grant rail-
roads as to the rate of compensation that
the roads should receive for the transpor-
tation OF troops, mail and other effects.
The roa DIS claimed they had right TO
charge the Government the same rates as
individual shippers or travellers, while
Congress has frequently provided that the
compensation should be not to exceed
half of the regular rate, the exact figures
to be fixed by the Secretary of War.
Under these acts of Congress only half
rates have been paid by the Government
and the roads desiring to have the matter
settled for all time brought test case
under the Court of Claims act, the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad being the
plaintiff, to recover full fare for the trans
portation of trooper-Phlllip Barrett
from Albuquerque. n. Mex, to Prescott
Junction, Ariz., distance of 428 miles.
The regular fare for the trip is $25 20.
The Government offered $13 23 The rail-
road refused to accept that amount and
brought suit for the full amount. The
railroad-the Atlantic and Pacifc-was
represented by Judge Terry. its chief at
torney. assisted by Herrin of the Southern
Pacific. The decision of Judge Welborn
is very lengthy and enters fully into the
discussion of the subject. 1t is a COM
plete victory for the Government.
The importance of this decision may be
und erstood when it is stated that the At
lantic and Pacific alone would receive
$3.50, 600 year more for the transportation
of troops, and that when the charges for
carving the mails are added the differ
ence on this one road in favor of the Gov
ernment reaches 81. SOC, 900 annually.

PURSUING EESENADA RAIDERS.
Mexican Cutters in Chase of Schooner
Carrying Party of Goid-Bar
Thieves

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 1.-THE sequel
to the Ensenada gold-bar robbery is rap
idly developing at Ensenada and along
the shore. Garratt, the principal in the
robbery, is safe behind the bars, with his
tool, Sam Hayward; but Allan Pratt and
another man, a stranger, are aboard the
Junk Pekin, and the Ensenada authorities
are Bending every nerve to overhaul them.
Mounted rurales have been sent for miles
up and down the coast, keeping a sharp
watch of every little cove and landing
place, and every available vessel at En-
senada has been ordered into service to
pursue the Pekin, which is junk usually
engaged in the stealing of guano from the
Lower California islands.
M. Riveroll, the shipping agent at En-
senada from whom the bar of gold was
stolen, has kept detectives on the trail. of
Pratt and Garratt since their release from
Jail TWO weeks ago after serving sixteen
months as suspects. Riveroll learned that
they came here, met and parted; Garratt
emaining and Pratt announcing that he
was going to San Francisco. The next
day both turned up at San Pedro Pratt
disguised as middle-aged German and
Garratt clad in old working clothes. They
hired the schooner Dawn and came to this
city, and tried to get the skipper of the
Dawn to land them on the coast near En-
senada, whence they could make their
way to the buried gold bar, but the skip
per became alarmed. The men then hired
the Pekin.
Riveroll knew of these negotiations, and
managed to get trusted employe, An
tonic Feliz, on the vessel as a sailor.
Feliz knows the lower coast well, and is
instructed to do his best TO deliver the
whole outfit over to the Lower California
authorities. The steamer Pacheco of this
port is now in Ensedena, and may be
called upon to chase the fugitive guano
schooner.
But the captain of the schooner is wide
awake, knowing if he is caught a long i'm
prisonment awaits him, as we'll as confis-
cation of his vessel for poaching.
He will probably keep well out to sea,
where he will have free fight if anybody
attempts to overhaul him.
The developments in the case are awaited
with much interest here, as it is hinted
that the stranger on the Pekin is a we'll
known resident of this city, who is to act
as fence" in case CARAT and Pratt got
away with the big $4,000 bar. The name
OF the stranger cannot be learned, but it is
known that he has been shadowed for
months by Riveroll's detectives.

ARMENIAN QUESTION.

Great Mass Meeting Held ut Cieye-
land, Ohio. Yesterday.
CLEVELAND, Nov. ia mass
meeting of 1000 citizens was held here
today for the discussion of the Ar
menian question. The main speaker
was Rev. Fay Mills. who is collecting
funds for relief work in the Turkish
empire. He delivered a very vigorous
address, commenting strongly on the
duty of the United States government
to protect the lives and property of
American citizens in Turkey. and
stated that evesy American travelling
in that country is compelled TO pass
himself as an Englishman if he wishes
to be safe.
He claimed it to be the duty of the
United States to take up the Armenian
matter at once. and promise material
as well as moral support to any Euro
pean nation that wound undertake to
curb the sultan. He denounced the
hostility which he said was shown by
the United States government to Ar
menian immigrants. The following res
olution was passed unanimously, and
a copy forwarded by telegraph to
President Cleveland:
THE representative citizens of Cleve-
land, in mass meeting assembled, in
the city of Cleveland. O., urge you TO
take immediate and decisive measures
for the protection of American citi-
zens interests, and for the securing of
indemnity for past outrages; and we
believe that the sentiment of the Amer
lean people will justify assurances of
support to any European nation that
will unselfshly undertake the pacifica-
ton of Armenia"

almost necessarily heard for several
hours. No details of the engagement are
given out, but the statement IS made
that one of the most decisive engage
ments fought since Cuba struck ter
first blow for freedom is being waged.
The dispatch adds:

Spaniards are making a most desperate

lighted up by the constant fire of the
artillery.
