HEALDSBURG, CAL, May 3.-This city
has presented more enlivened appear
ance to-day than is usually seen here on
Sunday. Decorators have worked from

though the sun was shining brightly.
The towers and arches are completed and
the finishing touches are being put to the
cupola OF the city hall. The city will be
ready for visitors on the opening day, but
visitors are even now making their appear

The entries for the bicycle races closed

for training.

coming in rapidly. One float will be
brought down from Hopland, Mendocino
County; two from Cloverdaie; two from

Cloverdale, Ukiah and Healdsburg. Three
military companies and five bands will be
in line.

4 FIGHT TO A FINISH.
The Question of the Eligibility of Women
Before the Methodist Episcopal


CLEVELAND, ONO, May 3.-The battle
for women will be fought to a finish in the
Methodist Episcopal General Conference
tomorrow at 10 o'clock, the matter being
the special order for that hour. The oppo-
sition to the eligibility of women will be
led by DR.. Buckley Of New York, editor of
the Christian Advocate. The other mat
ters of the morning session will be the
usual routine business of the conference
In the afternoon there will be no session,
but the various standing committees will
meet for organization.
The committees on Judiciary. Consti-
tuition and the other special committees
will choose their own time and places for
organization. The evening will be de-
voted to reception to the fraternaI dele
gates from the Methodist Episcopal
church south, and the Methodist Protest
ant church. The question of appointing
negro Bishops promises to be one of the
most interesting of the conference. There
appears to be desire on the part of the
white delegates to evade the question, but
the negro delegates state that they are de-
termined on obtaining a definite decision.

MAY SUE FOE DAMAGES.
Ee-Sendtor Campbell fingered by
Newspaper Comment.

Ex-senator Campbell fingered by q
Nescspaper Comment.
VALLEJO, CAL, May 3.-Ex-Senator
George J. Campbell Is about to sue City
Trustee John A. Browne because the lat
ter charged him with having obtained
money from the old Lake Chabot Water
Company for services rendered them in
the late city water fight. In an answer by
Campbell in this mornings News to the
charge as published by Browne in the
Chronicle few days ago, he says he will
try to have Browne make that statement
mot in a n ewspaper article, but where he
will be more careful of his words" leaving
the reader to infer he will prosecute
Browne on a charge of misrepresentation
Browne charges among other things that
Campbell came from Ireland, to which
this reply is made:
The man of unpronounceable words wishes
TO remind the readers OF his screeG that we
were born in Ireland. We confess Judgment
without trial and say that we are rather proud
of the fact. Better men than we have been
born, raised and nurtured on the soil OF that
to us dear-but unfortunate island.
We are glad that Mr. Browne, in his aIlusion
to the "howl of the Banshee of your native
land" tries to taunt us by calling us Irish,
We thank a kind providence that such YER
min as he were not spawned on the Green Isle
where the Banshee doth cry for the coming
loss of q gentle spirit.
Before the controversy is over, as each of
the contestants IS hot-headed, there NAV
be war and without words.

Captain John A. O'Brien of the Utopia
was seriously i'll for ten days with stom-
ach trouble, but DIR. Rogers of Oakland,
who is on the point, successfully Der.

He is rapidly recuperating. Captain Ches-

''The schooner Lincoln, which left Seat
tie with twenty-one passengers on March
for Cooks Inlet, had not been sighted up
to April 25. Grave fears are felt that she
has been lost. The Hope, small schooner
that plies between the villages on Cooks
Inlet, sailed from Kodiak on April Ia for
Coal Point with considerable mail for the
Boston-Alaska Company. This distance
is only 100 miles. For twelve DAYS moth
ing was heard of her, and much anxiety
exists in consequence.
when the Lakme left Coal Point, on
April 25, nothing had been seen of the
steamer Hattie Gage, the bark Theobald,
the barkentine Marion or the schooner
Sutherland, which vessels left San Fran
cisco on April to for the inlet. Neither
had the Lizzie B, Berry, Prescott or Can by
from Seattle been sighted. The Seattl g
vessels anchored off the point are the
Utopia and the schooners Bryant, LOYAL,

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 3.-Cubans at
the Junta headquarters in New street are
pleased at the information that has leaked
out that all the Cuban bonds lately put on
the market by the revolutionary party
have been asked for by one bidder, who
offers go per cent in cash. A favor
able confirmation of the news came from
Benjamin j. Guerra, the treasurer of the
Cuban delegation and also treasurer of the
bond committee. Mr.. Guerra yesterday
said:
1--WE have an offer from single bidder
for all the bonds we have on the market,
and his offer is under consideration. We
printed bonds worth 0,000, ,090, but de-
cided to offer only 100000. For the
bonds now on the market we have sutfi-
cient bids. Thase are for all sums, but we
have already one bid for the full amount
This bid came from Western man, who
represents syndicate of capitalists. He
wants all of the 81, 900, 900, and will pay go
per cent for them. He is now on his way
to New York to perfect the transaction"

made it three straight from st. Louis in
another one-sided game to-day. The
crowd was so large that play was almost
impossible at times. The turnstile count
was 1921, but at least 5000 more were
present, as the crowd broke down the
gate to the so cent seats after it had been
closed and great number rushed through
before the police came to the rescue. Hart

provincial and municipal organization of
colonies were made to conform with those
OF the peninsula June 81, 1873.
Reforms in the right of suffrage have
been difficult of accomplishment wherever
the negro race is in the majority, but the
law concerning voters in elections for Gu
ban Representatives in the Cortes, promul-
gated December 81, 1892, provides that
every citizen 25 years of age who pays the
sum of $5 to the State shall have the right
to vote, and this right Is enjoyed by no
groes as we'll as white persons in Cuba. In
this law are likewise provisions which Sc
cure the representation of the minority.
The laws relative to education are also
Important. AS long ago as 1880 autonomy
was granted to the University OF Havana,
and such ample provisions were granted
to it that but one university in the penin-
sula (that of Madrid) enjoys privileges
equally great. High schools throughout
the island were organized in 1883, and
finally in 1887 freedom of education was
proclaimed to the same extent and man
ner as in Spain.
The Cuban budget. it is shown, has been
reduced from $46, 500, 900 for the fiscal year
1S78-79-the closing of the last war-to a
little more than $23 600, 900 for 1893.
The system of taxation in Cuba and
Spain, it is claimed, could not be made ex-
actly alike because direct taxes are repug-
nant to Cubans, especially the tax on
land, which is the basis of the Spanish
budget.
The direct tax on rural property in Cuba
is per cent, while in Spain it is from IL
to 20 per cent. AS revenue had to be raised
in Cuba the income was sought from GUS
toms duties. Notwithstanding this in
years when the greatest financial distress
prevailed the Spanish Government did not
hesitate to sacrifice that income in order
to meet the special need of Cuba's princi-
pal agricultural product when the reci-
procity treaty was put into effect. Many
Spanish industries had to be sacrificed in
order that Cuban sugar could continue to
find its chief market in the United States.
On the principle of hearing the other
side" this statement of Spanish reform
legislation in regard to Cuba is submitted
for consideration.

ooLUMBIA RITER STRIKE ENDS.
Canneryunes Yield to the Demand of the

Fishermen.
ASTORIA, Or, May s." "Salmon-fshing
will begin on the Columbia River the
present week for certainty" said the
manager of the largest cannery in Astoria
to-day.
.The demands of the fishermen for
cents per pound viii be granted. Up to
the present time neither cannerymen nor
fishermen have been losers by the delay,
as the weather has been unfavoraDle and
few fish in the river"
M. J. Kinney has for some weeks been
been willing to pay the fishermen cents
per pound, but other cannery men refused
to release him from his compact. The
Fishermen's Union, knowing the feeling
of Kinney, offered TO furnish him with 500
boats for the season and stay by him
throughout the season if he would pay 5
cents.
He submitted the offer to the cannery
men, stating that he would accept unless
the combine made some progress in set
tiement of the differences. The cannery
men realized the effect of this and agreed
to be ready for all to go to work in few
days.
