STANFORD VS.. BERKELEY.
Intercollegiate Field Meet to Occur in San
Francisco-ToUr of the Mandolin
and Giee Clubs

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL.
March 1s.-The managers and captains of
the track teams of Berkeley and Stanford
met here to-day and decided to hold the
next intercollegiate field meet in San
Francisco instead of here at the university
track and grounds, as previously an
nounced. The date for the meet was fixed
at April 25, which leaves little over
month for the completion of the athletic
training. The universities will share the
expenses equally, and to cover the travel
ing expenses of each of the men Stanford
will be allowed 81 for each entry and
Berkeley 80 cents.
The events will occur in the regular In
tercollegiate Athletic Association order,
with the exception of the bicycle races.
Instead of the regular l. A. A. bicycle
races one two-mile race will be run as a
part of the list of events and to count as
heretofore. The arrangement seems to be
generally satisfactory here, though it was
hoped the meet might be held here on the
campus.
The baseball men will play match
game with the Santa Clara College nine
tomorrow. The latter is strong aggre-
cation, and two weeks ago defeated the
Varsity by score of 6 to 5.
The Glee and Mandolin clubs leave the
campus tomorrow on a 2000-mie tour
through the State. The itinerary in
cludes most of the cities of California. and
the clubs will not return before April 1.

ON THE COAST.
The. Republicans Of Butte County
Will Insist Upon Open
Primaries.
pportionment for the Sixth District
Convention-The Los Gatos
Campaign.
CHICO, CAL, March 1s,-The fo.lowin
col uvac is c,,ad bora m dau.

CHICO, CAL, March 1s.-The following
call was issued here to day:
To the Republican Voters of Butte County ::
You are earnestly requested to be present at a
mass-meeting of Republicans next Saturday
night March 2I, at the City Hall in Chico, for
the purpose OF taking some action relative to
the manner of selecting delegates to the State
Convention.
The proposition of the Congressional COM
mittee, which meets in Sacramento next Mon
day, is to leave the appointment of delegates
sional committee or the County Central Com
mittee. Unless some expression OF feeling
against such course is sent from this county
one of the above propositions will prevail.
Do you want two or three men to say who
shall go as delegates from Butte County, or do
you believe in allowing the voters to name the
delegates in open primaries? If no ex xpression
one way or the other is made by Republicans
from this county the Congressional committee
will conclude that the people are satisfied with
placing the appointments in the hands OF the
County Committee.
Let representative Republicans from the sur
rounding towns be present, that the desire for
open primaries may go from this county as q
unanimous expression. Those Republicans
who cannot attend from far-off towns in the
county should call mass-meetings of their own
and protest against placing the power of ap-
pointment in the hands of few men. Let us
act, and act quickly, that the expression may
be made before 1T is too late. This is serious
matter; and the Republicans of Butte county
should rise en- masse and demand that the one
man power be put aside and that the people
delegates by vote. Adopt strong resolutions
demanding chat primaries be opened in this
county, and give every Republican voter a
chance to vote for the man OF his choice.

WILLIAMS SEATTLE BROTHER.
Relatives of the Alleged Transvoai Con-
spjrator win Not Petition for Govern
ment Interference

SEATTLE, WASH, March 18.-Gardner
T. Williams, the California mining en-
gineer, who is under arrest in South Africa
for having, as alleged, been engaged in a
conspiracy against the Transvaal Govern
ment, has younger brother, Robert N.
Williams, residing in this city. In busi-
ness way the latter is connected with the
Del Monte Mining Company of California.
"Do you know" Mr.. Williams said when
interviewed to-day regarding his brother
Gardner, that to-day my brother was to
leave for the United States and was to
meet him in California some time in May?
His arrest, however, will cause him to
postpone his trip for short time. We do
not fear that there will be any trouble in
securing his acquittal of the charges made
against him. He treats them lightly. I
had cablegram from him during the
past week and he said that the charges did
not amount to anything. 1t looks as
though he knows what he is talking about,
for to-day Mrs. Williams and the children
leave Capetown for Germany, where they
will remain for some time. If Gardner
feared trouble it is not likely that he
would send his wife and family to Ger
many.
81 want to say this, however. If he is
guilty, he will take his medicine like
man. There will be no quibbling about it.
His relatives in the United States will not
try to stir up sympathy for him, and ap-
peal to the Government for protection for
him. A man who violates the law in the
country in which he lives deserves no pity,
no consideration, and l say again that if
he is guilty, he will take his medicine like
a man.
''This trouble about Hammond, who
was arrested down there after the Jameson
raid, is all bosh. If Hammond is guilty
why should he not be punished? If he is
innocent he has nothing tofear. What
right has the United States to step in and
say that its subjects shall not be punished
when they have violated the laws of an
other country? If he is innocent, and is
then it is time enough to in
terfere. What would we say if a subject
of South Africa was to come to the United
States and violate the law of the country?
Why, we would say Punish him. and we
would tell President Kruger, if be inter-
fered, to mind his own business.
"The. last letter had from Gardner was
sent soon after the Jameson raid. He was
'all broke up about it. Jameson was his
intimate friend and family physician"

NEz PERCES WAN 7 MONEY
Chief Showaway Will Be Sent
to Washington to Demand
Justice.
Gold Due the Umatilla Tribes Has
Not Been Paid by the Great
White Father.

PENDLETON, Or, March 1s. Paul
Showaway, rightful chief of the Cayuse tribe
of Indians on the Umatilla Reservation,
has returned from visit to the Nez Perces
on the Lapwai Reservation. Showaway
says the Nez Perces are very much in
censed on account of the long delay in
paying them the money due them, and
they think of sending another delegation
to Washington to plead with the Govern
ment officials to arrange for prompt pay
ment. In the recent payment the Nez
Perces each received $2S interest money,
about 1000 being distributed among LOO
of them. There remains to their credit in
the treasury at Washington about $3.50, 900,
which they want and insist on having.
Showaway also says the Umatilla Reser-
vation tribes will send representative to
Washington to demand the money due
them on account of the sale of their lands
several years ago. In the treasury at
Washington there is no less than $3.50, 900
belonging to the three tribes of the Una
tilla Reservation-the Una tillas, the
Cayuses and the Walla Wallas. This
money has been repeatedly demanded.
Last summer Chief Peo of the Umatillas
and Chief No Shirt of the Walla Wallas,
accompanied by an Interpreter, John Nc
Bean, visited the National capital and re-
quested the payment of the money due
the tribes, but no heed has been paid to
their demands, and now Showaway will be
sent On to Washington with similar mis-
sion. He will be accompanied by white
man.
Showaway speaks English fuently and
needs no interpreter. Showaway can make
good showing and will have influence

CITY OFFICIALS ATTACKED.
Scored Because They Ride on Passes I,


Scored Because They Ride on Passes IN
Streetcdrs.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 18.-C.
Severance has filed several communica-
tions recently severely scoring the City
Council. He to-day filed another docu-
ment, in which he says:
"Men who pose as the guardians of pub
lie morals should have clean hands and
clean records. The pass on which you,
gentlemen, have been charged with rid
ing has printed upon it in conspicuous
letters these words: Not to be shown any
person. Why not to be shown? Because
it is badge of infamy and evidence of un-
faithfulness, and Councilman who
would accept and use such pass reveals
at once that 5 cents-that Insignificant
nickel-is more highly valued than his
honor and his regard for State laws"
Severance declares that it made his
blood boil to think that such men have
the temporary power to put in the chain
gang and imprison in q lousy and ILL
ventilated Jail their fellowmen, whose
only crime is poverty that compels them
to sleep in a haystack or freight car. In
the face of these things. Severance is not
surprised that anarchy Is raising its head
why street laborers do not ride on passes,
Severance says: Having seen so much
complaint in the daily papers regarding the
bad condition of our streets. along certain
lines of car track, 1 am led to ask, though
the charge of impertinency may attend
the query in your opinion, if there is any
esoteric connection between your scent
passes and the dilapdated condition of
some parts OF our streets?"

General Belief That the Twelve
Judges Will Fail to Reach
a Verdict.
CLARKEs CLOSING ADDRESS.
Caustic Arrangement of the Suspect
by the Governments
Counsel.

CARSON, New, March 19.-The fate of
John 7. Jones, the alleged accomplice of
James Heney in the theft of bullion to the
mint in this city, is now in the hands of a
jury. The twelve men have since noon
been attempting to arrive at verdict un-
successfully, and after midnight they re-
solved to rest from their labors until day
light. 1t Is the general opinion that dis
agreement will result.
The argument 20 the jury this morning
closed with mastery speech by General
Clarke, in which he forged the chain of
evidence link by link about the accused
with pitiless precision. Referring to the
claim by the defense that Hirsch Harris
made the bogus melt in March, he read
Harris letter to the superintendent of the
mint, written month earlier, in which he
reported the shortage and asked that the
Government experts investigate it.
He read certified copy of Jones' bank
account, showing deposits aggregating
$50 900, which he had accu umulated in two
years on $10O a month salary, and dilated
on the fact that Jones had been unable to
show where he made even dollar outside
of his salary. The claim made by Jones
that he had won fortune through John
Kelly in the Con. Virginia deal was dis
posed of as follows:
Captain John Kelly was a prominent
operator in Virginia City-a careful. cum
ming and secret operator-and George Ives
was his executor. his confidential man.
who did his business. John Kelly was
dead, and we could not raise him from his
grave to contradict the evidence. So Jones
goes to San Francisco and tries to persuade
Ives that he had some transactions with
Kelly, but Ives said there were no such
ira nsactions.
"He said his attorney, Coffin. would also
call, and Coffin called, but could get no
evidence to help his client. Yet Jones in
sisted that he had dealt through Kelly.
Now, these people overlooked the fact that
Kelly was taken sick in February, 1890,
and died in January 1891, before the Con.
Virginia deal, in which Jones claimed to
have made his money, so the little job was
nipped in the bud and went down like the
other jobs these people have fabricated to
explain the theft of that money"

BENNETT HELD FOR MURDER.
Tho Wheelwdn Mast Anstcer for the
KILLING of CxGrski.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 18.-Elisha
(alias "Jim'') Bennett, who fatally stabbed
Fred Czarski, saloon-keeper, ten days
ago was held to answer to a charge of
murder at his preliminary examination
to-day. Bennett, accompanied by w. A.
Burke and Casey Castleman, two WE'LL
known bicycle-riders. was in Czarski's
saloon. The barkeeper, Czarski's brother
in-law, jested Bennett about cycling. The
latter became angry and used vile lam
guage in the presence of Mrs. Czarski, who
was also in the saloon.
Czarski took up the quarrel and knocked
Bennett down. On regaining hts feet
Bennett drew a knife and stabbed Czarski
in the abdomen, inf1cting a wound from
which he died few days later Burke
and Castleman left the saloon before the
stabbing occurred. and were not impli-
Gated in the row.
E. j. Mcdowell, Czarski's brother-in-
law; Mrs. Loretta Czarski, widow of the
deceased, and Paul Flammer, one of the
officers who. arrested Cyclist Bennett, tes-
titled for the prosecution this morning at
the examination. Mrs. Czarski and Nc
Dowell gave a version of the stabbing that
differed from taat given by Casey Castle
man. Their narrative, however, tended to
show that Czarski first assaulted Bennett,
after being provoked by an epithet from
the latter, and that after brief struggle
Bennett deliberately walked over and
stabbed the saloon man as he stood against
the bar

Declaration of the Minister Was
Not Intended as a
Threat.
ENGLAND CAN MAKE THE RAID
Use of the Reserve Fund the One
Bone of Contention-Germany
Will Not Interfere.

PARIS, FRANCE, March l1s-It is semi
officially declared that the utterances of NJ
Berthelot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, re-
garding the gravity of the consequences of
the British expedition to Dongola, do. not
possess the meaning attached to them.
They merely referred TO the question of
using the reserve Egyptian fund for the
expedition. NJ. Berthelot will, it is said,
make statement to that effect in the
Chamber OF Deputies tomorrow.
Altogether France seems to be anxious
to remove the effect produced by the bull
letin embodying the substance of the
interview between NJ. Berthelot and the
British ambassador, Lord Dufferin. While
the Government wishes it understood that
France is closely interested in the matter,
1t in no way desires to assume an attitude
OF hostility toward England.
1t was necessary that France should
clearly define her attitude at the outset,
and, in view of the friendly relations re-
Gently established with England, the Gov
ernment was of the opinion that the frank
language would be the most likely to pre-
vent any possible misunderstanding that
might arise.
The Temps, in commenting upon the
matter, expresses similar views to the fore
going.
Concerning the British expedition to
Dongola, the Eclaire says that the inter
view between NJ. Berthelot, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and the Marquis OF
Dufferin. British Embassador, which took
place yesterday, proves that France is dis
posed to discourage policy which does
not show sufficient respect for the interests
of France in Egypt.
Besides, France has many other grounds
of objection to Eng1and's engaging in a
venture of advantage to herself, which is
not calculated to have a soothing effect
upon the various ministries.

First DISCOVERIES of the Mimic
Paradise Unable to Find
1t Again.
NEsTLEs AMONG pREc1p1cEs.
A Fertile Garden.Spet Which Has
Been Described in Delightful
Legends.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, March 49,
For many years delightful legend has
been current among the Spanish-Ameri-
can population of Santa Barbara, to the
effect that in the midst of the great wilder
ness of mountains lying back of this valley
there existed fertile valley several miles
in extent, but which was cut off by lofty
and inaccessible peaks which completely
encrcled it. Now an attempt is to be
made to locate this hidden valley-an at.
tempt that will not be given up until a
most thorough search has been made.
The story goes that on one occasion .
party of men looked down upon it from
the mountain summit, and although they
could find no trail leading down into 1t,
contrived to fight their way through thick
cts of chaparral and lower themselves past
precipitous rocks until they stood in this
mimic paradise, wholly isolated from set
tlement or travel and before untrodden by
man. A crystal stream coursed through
the valley, escaping in waterfall which
they were unable to pass; so they were
forced to retrace their steps over the peril
Gus way by which they had come. When
they attempted to return to the valley
they could not find it, and although they
made many attempts to reach it again,
every peak that they climbed frowned
down upon the same rugged and barren
waste of mountains. The Lost Potrero,"
as it has commonly been called, has passed
into the history of the county as a roman
tic tradition.
A party of Americans hunting through
the ranges back of the Santa Ynez last
year claim to have again come upon this
wonderful valley, but when they returned
to their homes and again set out prepared
to thoroughly explore it and perhaps take
Government entries they were unable to
find it.
Such faith have they in the valleys
actual existence that this week party of
young men will set out for this place, pre-
pared for a two months trip and deter
mined to locate the garden spot. They as
sert they will climb hundred of the high
est peaks they can find before resigning
their quest, and as all are good mountain
eers and hardy travellers the result of their
enterprise will be awaited with interest by
the skeptics they leave behind.

SALT LAKE-oGDEN LINE.

Southern Pacific Believed to Be Back of
Nesc Venture.
OGDEN, UTAH. March 1S.-The organ
ization of the Salt Lake and Ogden Rail-
road Company, which will build road
from Ogden to Salt Lake City, was an
nounced to-day. Reports conflict as to
who is at the back of the enterprise.
Simon Ban,berger of Salt Lake, one of the
incorporators, said that the Pioneer Eiec-
trio Power Company of Ogden, which re-
Gently fioated 81 500 600 bonds, was push
ing the matter and that it would be an
electric road. The incorporators include
9. X. Bannister, secretary of the power
company. He stated to, CALL CORE
spondent that he knew nothing further
of the enterprise than that he had SUBJ
scribed for one share of stock, but that it
would probably be an electric road. He
denied that the power company had any
interest in the matter.
Bamberger recently returned from trip
to San Francisco, and the general opinion
here is that the Southern Pacific is the
"nigger in the woodpile," and that it
wants direct connection with Salt Lake.

MILL VALLEYS PROTEST
Fighting to Keep the Scenic
Railway Off the Main
Streets.
Work on the Road Continued
Despite the Objections of
Landowners.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, March 18.-The
Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic
Railroad is completing the construction OF
the electric road to Eastland station de-
spite the objections and hlndrances of
the property-owners and residents of Mill
Valley. To-day large force of men was
put to work grading Corte MADEIRA avenue.
No resistance was made by the property
owners on the avenue and the men con-
tinued their work unmolested.
J. II. McInnes has sold a right f-way
through his property to the company and
taken in payment for the privileges
granted the railroad stock in the corpor-
alton and money.
Yesterday the secretary of the road was
served with notice by P. S. Furgeson to
the effect that he would hold the Mill Val
ley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railroad
Company responsible for any damages sus-
tanned by him by reason of the scenic road
running on the avenue in front of his
property. Mr.. Furgeson is also prepared
to take the necessary legal steps to protect
his interests.
The whole trouble about the mountain
road coming into Mill Valley arises over
the uucStlOH Vi whether OF HOG Gue people
of Mill Valley or the Tamalpais Water
Company owns the highways at this
place. The people claim to possess them,
as the roads have been open to public
travel for over five years, although the
Tamalpais Land and Water Company has
gone to the expense of keeping them in
good condition for this period. The deeds
under which the property is sold give the
purchaser all the privileges for which
roads are usually built.
In its turn the Tamalpais Land and
Water Company, which is the backbone OF
the mountain road project, claims to re-
tain the title in the streets by virtue OF
the deeds and because the roads have never
been dedicated to public use or maintained
and kept in proper repair by the people.
Acting on the advice of its attorney the
Scenic Railroad Company ran its line upon
Corte MADEIRA avenue without securing the
assent of the people and relying solely
upon the contention of the land company
that it owned the streets.
According to the first survey the track
on Corte MADEIRA avenue was brought
within two feet of the sidewalk in front OF
George Anker's and J. H. McInnes' places.
The latter gentleman promptly served an
order upon the railroad company that. he
would not allow it to run so near his side
walk as it would depreciate the value of his
property. A new survey was ordered
with the result that it was found necessary
to buy right OF way through the lands OF
J. 81. McInnes, and this has been done
but the remaining property-owners on
Corte MADEIRA avenue have come to the
conclusion that the road running upon
that avenue will greatly injure them and
in consequence notices have been served by
them upon the officers of the road stating
that they intend to get damages.
