Spain claims credit for having remained
neutral during the political campaign that
has just closed in the United States. She
rather insinuates that Uncle Sam ought 10
reciprocate by keeping hands off from the
Cuban insurrection. The government at
Madrid Is evidently suffering from acute
attack of diplomatic strabismus and should
receive treatment at once to enable it to
see the difference between the election of
Mr.. Mckinley and the failure of General
Weyler between the cruel war just ended

WANTED FOR BIGAMY.
Samuel b. Black, an Actor Deserts a
Young Woman He Married IN
Los Angeles.

There is warrant out for the arrest OF
Samuel B. Black, an actor, on charges OF
failure to provide and bigamy, the COM
planning witness being Mrs. Mary Il.
Waldo of 214 Fourth street.
Mrs. Black, who lives with Mrs. Waldo,
said she met her husband in Los Angeles
last summer, and they were married last
November. They came to this City about
five weeks ago. and Black tried TO get an
engagement at Morosco's Theater, but
failed. Then he took to drink, remaining
away all night at times, which led to the
discovery that he had another wife living
in this City, who calls herself Mrs. Keene.
She was married to Black eight years ago,
and he deserted her few months later,
but he subsequently returned to her.
The last seen of Black was on Monday
of last week, when he accom- panied his
wifeup town. She went into the Grand
Hotel drugstore to send telephone mes
sage and when she returned he had gone.
1t was afterward learned that he was seen
crossing the bay on Wednesday and it Is
believed he has gone with Mrs. Keene, as
she ALSO cannot be found.
Mrs. Black is left with an infan a few
days old to care for. She feels keenly the
disgrace of her husbands desertion, as he
managed to fritter away all her property
and has left her penniless.

Daniel Reilly, laborer in the en-

He was engaged with other men in the
work of repairing Channel-street sewer,

morning he descended into the sewer
through a manhole.
He had lighted lamp in his hand, and
unfortunately for him he left the naked

had the presence of mind to throw him.

spot, and expected to find Kelly's body in

As soon as the smoke cleared they en-

the mud and carried him into the open
air. Then some one rang for the patrol
wagon from the Seventeeth- station
and Reilly was taken to the City and
County Hospital. 1t was found that his
head and arms were badly burned. All
the hair on his face was burnt off and the
hair of his head was singed.
The fame had also injured his ewes. but
the doctors did not think he would lose his

Everything was done to alleviate his

WILL TEST THE
FRANCHISE ACT.
It's Constitutionality Is to
Be Brought Into
Question.
SAID TO DISCRIMINATE.
The Flaw Alleged to Lie in the
Provision Pertaining to
the Advertising,
MAY TIE THE BOARDS HAND.
How the Present Injunction Proceed
ings Are Viewed by the Attor-
neys of the Raj road.

In connection with the Geary street
railway franchise q new and interesting
question has arisen, and one which has
received attention both from the railway
attorneys and from those who are oppos'
ing the granting of the franchise.
It involves the constitutionality OF the
act under which Boards of Supervisors
and other governing bodies OF municipal
tiles are authorized to sell franchises at
auction.
One of the provisions of this act is that
the notice calling for bids must be adver-
tised for ten consecutive days in daily
newspaper within the county, city, town
or district within which the franchise is to
be operative.
There are quite number of counties in
the State in which there is no daily news
paper published, and such counties are
therefore practically prohibited from
granting franchises. This is said to be
discrimination, and the only question
that remains to be definitely determined
is whether it is an unconstitutional dis
elimination.
Just at this time the question is causing
considerable worriment to the railroad
people. Should the statute in question be
declared unconstitutional it would be i'm
possible sor the Geary street Railway COM
pany to secure valid franchise from the
present Board OF Supervisors, as they are
debarred by law from granting any such
privilege after ninety days next preceding
an election. The period of prohibition be-
gins to-day.
The question of the constitutionality OF
this statute has already arisen in one of
the interior counties, but has not yet
been submitted to court. 1t is expected,
however, that it will be tested in the next
few weeks.
So far as the injunction, writ of review
and writ of prohibition proceedings now
pending against the Supervisors are con-
cerned they are looked upon by the rail-
road people as simply pro forma. 1t is
claimed by them that such proceedings
are of 10 effect against legislative body
to stay alegislative act which they allcge
the granting of franchise is. They are
confident that when the matter comes up
for hearing before Judge Daingerfield he
will dissolve the injunction and all other
proceedings under the, other two writs.
Should this be done it is probable that
the question of the eonstitutionality of the
statute will be brought forward by
Attorney Leon Samuels, providing, of
course, the board grants the franchise to
the Geary-street road, and the matter Will
be tested in the courts.

Mr.. Hanson'has been in the lum Der busi-
ness for thirty-fve years. During that time
he says he passed through seven different
periods OF financial depressions, but none
hung on SO long as the present He has
visited the lumber producing centers OF
the world, regarding which he says:
Norway and Finland produce the most
lumber. There is one mill In the former
country, which, however, can work only
during the open season, as the Ice closes
Its port, which turns out just about as
many feet OF lumber as all the mills on
Puget Sound. Its output is 100000 feet
per day. Sometimes there are forty. to
nifty vessels loading at once at that port.

5OO vessels going to sea loaded with lum-
feet aboard. or, say, 200, 900, 900 feet in all.
They. were bound for all parts OF the
world
These are some of the conditions that
make the Mckinley tariff law the lumber
mans boon. 1.-THE free trade regime OF
the democrats is responsible for dull
times" continued Mr.. Hanson. I'm this
country" he said, ''the factories are
largely closed as a result of tariff uncer-
tainties. There isn't factory in the
country that pays per cent onthe invest.

lumber to Pullman for cars; now we ship
none. The Southern Pacific used to use
many million feet each year; now it takes
scarcely any. The railroads of the country
when car is smashed on the Southern
Pacific 1t is not repaired nowadays. Peo-
pie who put money into factories do not
know what moment the tariff will embar-
rass them, so they Keep their money out
as far as possible.n
The practical man, studying the welfare
OF his country, will give heed to the words
OF progressive men of affairs rather than
to dreamers like Bryan and theorists like
the father OF the Wilson tariff bill, one of
the most destructive free-trade measures
ever perpetrated on the country.
