ILLEGAL FISHERS CONVICTED.
They Plead Guilty and VIII Pay $1O(
Each Into the Treasury.


S. Cardinalli and r. Mercurio pleaded
guilty in Justice Henry's court yester-
day to illegal fishing, and were fined
500 each, which they will pay.
Considerable feeling has been engen-
dered for some time by the fact that a
number of foreigners, who are fisher
men, persist in violating the State law
by using nets of a smaller mesh than is
prescribed, thus depicting the river of
small fish, and eventually running the
business.
Deputy Fish Commissioner j. II. Da-
Wis became aware of the fact and, de-
spite the fact that the violators of the
law keep up system of spies, who warn
each other for miles along the river Of
the presence of an officer of the law, he
succeeded, by undergoing considerable
hardship, in capturing four men in the
act, and also capturing their nets, which
were only a flve-inch mesh. and with
which they were fishing for salmon,
shad and striped bass. the law prohibit
ing less than seven -and-a- -half-inch
mesh.
The four men captured were fishing
at the head of Sherman Island, and in
this county. Their names were S. Car
dinalli, r. Mercurio, V. Cardinalli and
V. Ballestrado. Although all were
equally guilty, the two former offered
to plead guilty if the charge against the
other two was dismissed, and the Dis
trict Attorney, having in mind the un-
certainty of juries, consented, with the
result before stated.
The conviction of these men is regard
ed as a decided victory over the foreign
ers who come here and defy the laws of
the State. They belong to a. class who
go up to Alaska and fish during the
summer using nets of different-siZed
mesh, so that nothing may escape their
greed and who have so depleted the
once apparently inexhaustible waters
of that Territory, that the United States
Government has taken cognizance of
the fact, and next season will establish
stringent patrol of its waters to pre-
vent the entire determination of their
finny tribes. What will the poor devils
of fishermen" do then?

Charles Lansing Was Released Yester-
day, There Being No Charge.
On Tuesday night the Crystal Palace
Saloon, on street, between Ninth and
Tenth, which is owned by Richard
Freygang and Fred. Schneider, was
burglariZed. AS stated yesterday
morning, officers Taylor and Douglas
arrested a young man named Charles
Lansing on suspicion of committing the
burglary, it having been learned by
them that he had no money on the night
of the burglary and had been seen to
have some next day. He had 81 on him
when arrested, but stated that he had
borrowed 50 so from friend
Another young man who had been
seen with him at the saloon before it
closed was also arrested, but was re-
leased on giving a satisfactory account
of himself.
Freygang, one Of the proprietors, sig
nified his intention of swearing to a
complaint charging Lansing with burg
larry, but changed his mind about it and
did not do so, and as the only ground for
suspicion against the young man was
the possession of the 80, he was released
from custody yesterday.

rendered to Richard d. Davis by His
Sutter Club Bachelor Friends.
There are a number of choice spirits
in the Sutter Club, who have never yet
entered into the "holy bonds of we'd
lock- and although sad inroads have
been made upon their number by re-
caIcitrant- individuals who have fall
tered in their allegiance under the
witching smiles of beauty and have fol-
lowed in the footsteps of Benedick
they still view with anxiety and dis
trust the wanderings of their COM
rades into that, to them, terra incog-
nita.
1t has been their custom, therefore,
in such cases to so bid farewell to their
erstwhile comrade that he may bear
with him on his Journey over the
shoals and rapids that may beset him
on his future journey down the river
OF life an ever present remembrance of
their condolences and warnings, as well
as their wishes for his future prosperity
and happiness.
Such an occurrence took place at the
club last night, a dinner being rendered
By them to Richard T. Davis of the
we'll known firm of Wasserman & Da-
Wis, they having become aware that on
next Thursday he was to take to him
self as a wife one of Solanos fairest
daughters in the person of Miss Leila
Stevenson of Vacaville.
Major w r. Ormsby, who always
engineers these affairs for the club, and
always surprises his most intimate
friends by the fertility of his magma

had transformed the dining-room into
a bower of beauty. The prevailing col
ors were Nile green and pink, the room
itself being ornamented with smilax
Palms, pink roses and pink begonias,
and the table and chandeliers with
glasses of those colors also.
The guests marched in to the music
of an orchestra brought from Paris es-
pecially for the occasion, but bearing
the outward appearance of a music
box, which discoursed the Wedding

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Carlisle expressed the opinion to-day
that the new bond issue will be sue
cess. He did not intimate whence the
gold would come, but he spoke with a
full knowledge of the number of inqui-
ries for blank forms for bids, and the
informal offers already made. The
mails to-day brought in quite a number
of inquiries for blank forms on which
to make bids, and in some cases persons
desirous of subscribing stated the
amounts they wished and the prices
they would offer.
These figures, of course, are withheld
from publication. The bids are regarded
as informal and where possible those
making them will be communicated
with and blank forms will be sent, so
that they may comply with all the re-
quirements and make their bids in reg
ular shape. A circular letter of instruc-
ton to prospective bidders was issued
to- day. 1t states:
The subscriber should state plainly
the amount of bonds desired, the price
which he proposes to pay, and the
place where the bonds should be deliv-
cred, which may be the subscriber S
home or any other place more conve-
nient
HE should, at the same time, state
whether he desires to deposit the
amount of his subscription at the Treas
ury Department in the city of Wash
ington or at one of the Sub Treasures
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Cincinnati Chicago, st. Louis,
New Orleans or San Francisco. Depos-
its at said places must be with ex-
change on New York. The bonds will

tions: Coupon bonds, $50, $780, $500,

BULLARD CONVICTED.
The Story He Narrated to City Attor-
ney Brown.

ney Brown.
]. II Bullard was tried in the Police
Court yesterday for battery on William
Rochon.
The complainant testified that as he
was in the closet back of Fossatis sa-
locn, at Twenty-first and 0 streets.
Rullard came in and struck him with
out provocation, knocking him sense
less. When he came to himself he found
Bullard standing over him, and when
he tried to get up Bullard struck him
again. He did not know why Bullard
attacked him. Bullard had been drink
ing.
! Fossati testified that Bullard was
annoying Rochon in the saloon and the
latter wanted him to let him alone.
Bullard was drunk.
Archie Patrick testified Rochon
called for help and he and the other
boys ran out and chased Bullard and
Walter Covell threw some rocks at him.
| Bullard swore that when he went to
| the closet Rochon called him vile
name and struck him, and he knocked
him down. When the others came wit
ness ran away and they chased him.
Coven, Patrick and DooIey each hit
4
him on the arm.
| City Attorney Brown asked him if
when he came to him for a warrant
| for Covell and the rest he did not say
that Covell, Patrick and Turner at
tackled him and Covell struck him with
a brick, and that the others also
struck him with rocks. He asked him
also If he did not say that those were
the only persons who We're present at
the time and also why he said nothing
of any trouble with Rochon. Bullard
denied making such statements and the
City Attorney told him that the next
time he (Bullard) applied for war
rant he would have a witness present
to hear what was said.
The City Attorney took the stand
and testified that when Bullard came to
his Office for a warrant for Covell and
the rest he told him he went into the
saloon alone, drank alone and went out
without speaking to Covell, Patrick
or Turner, who were the only ones
there. He also said that when he went
outside one of them called him a. vile
name, and when he retorted that the
party calling him so was a gentleman,
Covell struck him in the head with a
brick: that he knew no reason for the
! assault, except that the boys ''had it
in for him" on account of his having
trouble with them about a year ago.
He said nothing about any trouble
with Rochon, and said the three men
toned were the only ones concerned.
Bullard was convicted and will be
sentenced on Saturday.

MORGAN WANTS IT ALL.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-From a sub
scribing member Of J. Pierrepont Nor
gan's bond syndicate the following
facts have been obtained:
The syndicate expects to secure the
entire 100000, 600 4 per cent bonds
which are to be sold by the treasury
on February 9Th. Mr.. Morgan will bid
for the entire $100,000,000. 1t will take
all or none. The reason for Mr. Nor
gan's confidence of entire success is
that he viii make an offer so advan-
tageous that no other proposition can
stand in his way
This offer is to purchase the entire
S100, 000 paying principal and pre-
mium in gold. and in addition furnish
an amount in gold equal to one third
Of the issue, or $33, 1873, ,333 33 in ex-
change for greenbacls. The Govern
ment gold reserve will thus not only
be brought up to the recognized limit,
but will leave a large surplus for its
protection.
The price which the syndicate will
offer is not exactly known by anyone
beside Mr.. Morgan. It will be consid-
erably more than the 81 0415 paid last
February. This low premium was paid
because Of the provision in the contract
compelling the syndicate to protect the
treasury reserve.
No such contract will be made this
time. Therefore a higher price viii be
paid. The figure is believed to be 81 0S
The syndicate is now accommodating
gold from every available source. Mem
hers of the syndicate will be at liberty
to make individual bids besides the
syndicate bid.
This is the state of affairs to-day.
The position will probably hold until
February 9Th without any change OF
important details The President and
Secretary Of the Treasury have nc
agreement, private or public. with the
syndicate. They know, however, what
are Mr.. Morgan's intentions, and knew
# when the public call was issued.
