Ancient Financial History Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The senate heard
stirring debate yesterday, the bond ques-
ton being the main theme. Sherman's
speech initiated the financial discussion.
and his speech was closely followed
throughout. This, however, was merely a
prelude to an unexpected financial con-
troversy vigorous and personal in char
acter. Elkins of West Virginia sought to
secure an immediate vote on his resolu-
ton directing that all bond issues be adj
vertised and the bonds offered to the pub
lie. Hill attempted to have the resolu-
ton referred to committee, but on roll
call the vote was overwhelming ia favor
of proceeding with the question. Only
six negative votes were cast, viz: Chiffon,
Gallery, Hill, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Muir.
ply and Brice. Hill spoke vigorously
against the resolution.
Substance of Sherman's Speech.
The pith of Shcrman's speech was that
the president had mistaken the cause of
our troubles; that the cause was not the
demand for gold to redeem United States
notes, but an insufiicincy Of revenue, said
Sherman, taking what is the universal
Republican Wow of the matter, and he ar

tkfOrmed by Morrill, that the finance com.
mittee was not ready to report the house

fed promptly of the accident, and hav-
ing made repeated appointments dur

not having filled any of these appoint

we the jury do most emphatically CEN

THE CORONER'S STATEMENT.
Coroner Campbell on being shown the
foregoing dispatch yesterday evening
stated that he had not been personally
been communicated with concerning
Mrs wilkins death, nor made any APP
pointments for holding the inquest. His
stenographer, John Summerheld, had
been notified. however, and had acted in
the matter.
Il have been very sick for two or
three days" said DR.. Campbell, "and
was unable to travel to Pomona to hold
an inquest l understood that the body
would be shipped to Los Angeles. and
therefore did not think it necessary to
go to Pomona in person. Being too i'll
to travel, and the body not having ar
rived, sent my stenographer Mr.. sum
merfield to Pomona today. with au-
thority to act in conjunction with the
justice of peace there in the holding of
the inquest. | am sorry that any misl
understanding occurred but it seems
to me that the jury went out of their
way in censuring me. l fail to see where
the inhuman treatment comes in. |
simply was too sick to go to Pomona.
and that is all the explanation there
is to he made"
NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT.
Coroner Campbell has been unfortun-
eral former occasions there has been
complaint of undue delay on his part in
holding inquests, but this is the first
time that criticism of any sort has been
brought in an official way.

The prince was in the company of the

The news of the death of Prince Loha-

patch. caused great excitement through
out Russia, where the personality of the
minister of foreign affairs was consid-
cred second only to the czar himself
Prince Lobanoff- Rostovslly pursued a
strong foreign policy--a policy which
was regarded in some quarters as theat-
ening the peace of the void.
Besides his political work Prince Lo-
banoff Rostovsky devoted his leisure
hours to the study of and to writing
works on Russian history. The tour
which he had planned to take with the
czar throughout the countries of western
Europe was expected to be most far
reaching in results affecting the set
tlement of the eastern question. Fran

WILL DEFEND HIS RIGHTS
Bold Attempt to Gust an Old Soldier In
SoIedad Canyon

George IT. Rehberg, an old-time min
ing man and a pioneer settler In tho
Soledad canyon, near Humphreys sta
tion. where he has been located for the
past eleven years, is in the city, and
from what he says he Is now the victim
of systematic persecution in an effort
to force him to abandon his governments
claim. Rehbers has valuable piece or
land up in the canyon. and water right
that is worth even IA)re than the lana.
He has proved up on his claim and has
his government patent Some months
ago an employe of the electric raiG'oad
named Charles Elton was introduced
to Rehberg. Elton. it Is said, repre-
scented to Rehberg that he was looking
for place where he could send his fam
lily for the summer for the benefit of
their health. He represented that he
did not have much money and was on
the lookout for place where he could
do this at small cost. AS Rehberg had
no family, and was impressed with Ell
tons story. he agreed to give him ten
acres OF his land if Elton would put in
a pipe line for their Joint benefit. This
Elton did. and when the old man, who
was not as green as he appeared, inti-
mated that as he did not care to have
his water right impaired, 1t would be
well for Elton to pay him the nominal
rental of 81 per annum for the water,
merely to show that he acknowledged
his right. This Elton refused to do,
but instead, during the old mans abb
sence, got a force of men and tore out
the pipe line. He also secured the SER
vices of a surveyor and has since tried
10 show that Rehberg's house Is not on
his land. Rehberg said that he would
hold possession of his land at all hazards
and then Elton had him arrested on a
charge of threats, on which llimsy charge
he was arrested and brought to this
city
Rehberg has been in peaceable possess
sion of his land for fourteen years past
He bears n good reputation and the
people of the vicinity sympathize with
him. He has engaged an attorney and
says he will make vigorous fight for
his own.

A DADDY DRIVEN TO DRINK
The Trials and TribuIations Which Be.ell
Bandmaster

George Cam, director of the Seventh
regiment military band, had gleam in
his eye yesterday afternoon during the
concert at Westlake park, that BODIED ill
for George Cam, jr., who is 19 months
old and rules the Cam household with
a rod of iron. 1t all came about in this
wise:
Up to about five weeks ago, Cam, sr.,
used a baton in directing his band
that was made of an old billiard cue.
1t was not pretty instrument, but
Cam was attached to it, for he had won
distinction as a band master in beating
time with that homely stick One Sun
day afternoon as he was about to start
for the park with the band, he could not
find his baton. 1t developed that Mas
ter George had used it during the week
to drive pet rooster, and the stick got
lost in the rubbish in the hen yard.
When Mrs. Cam explained the sit
uation to her husband, papa WaXed
wroth, and in u spirit of revenge on
his SON and heir, as well as for the rea-
son that he could find no better substi-
tute, he cut off the tongue, not of little
George, but of his little red wagon, and
used that for a baton. The wagon tongue
answered the purpose very well and
remained in use until yesterday, when
it disappeared just about the time the
concert was to begin. Young George
had appropriated it and hid or lost it.
In the haste of the moment the best
substitute for a baton the bandmas ter
| could get was bamboo rod about the
| thickness of a lead pencil. Unaccus-
| toned to swing such light rod when
| playing such heavy music, Cam dropped
| the stick during one of the preliminary
| flourishes. He said damn under his
| breath and picked it up. During the
overature of William Tell, the baton
| struck the music stand on an upper
| cut and flew off on tangent across the
| heads of the neghboring musicians.
| The band boys looked a one another as
much as to say, rs it possible that Cam
| has been drinking?"
| 1t wasn't Q case Of booze, for George
