NO MORE SPECIAL RATES
For State Excursions Destined to
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-The
Southern Pacific Company has decided
to grant no more special gates to San
Francisco excursions. State organiza-
tions desiring to hold conventions in
San Francisco, as has been their past
custom, will not be afforded an oppor-
tunity of enjoying what is commonly
termed the certificate plan of trans
portation. Their delegates will have
to pay the regular round trip fare.
The abandoning of the special excur-
sion rate as applied to State conven-
ton parties is the outcome of the re-
fusal of the Board Of Supervisors to
pass an ordinance against the further
maintenance of scalpers' offices.
THE company" said one of General
Passenger Agent Goodman's represen-
tatives, has been badly treated in the
past through the manipulation of eX-
cursion tickets by scalpers, and it has
been found necessary to call a halt.
The new rule applies only to business
directed to San Francisco, and in order
to get the benefit of special rates, or
ganiZationS desiring to hold conven-
tions will have to select some place
other than San Francisco, where trans
portation privileges are not abused as
they have been in this city,

w. A. ALDRICH'S ESTATE
A Son of the Decedent Seeking to Set
Aside Trust Clause i'm the Will

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-The
estate of William A. Aldrich, the capi-
tallst who died in Oakland in 1892, has
been dragged into the courts by q son
of the decedent, William Holt Aldrich
who seeks to set aside as invalid a trust
created in his fathers will.
Aldrich was once a member of the
firm of Merrill & Co., commission mer-
chants, dealing extensively in the Hon
olulu trade. He left considerable prop
erty in stocks, bonds and real estate
valued upwards of 100000 He di-
vided his estate into four parts leav-
ing the contestant's share in trust. The
testator seeks to set aside this trust
clause. He says that it is in violation
of the constitutional law prohibiting
the establishment of perpetuities. and
he seeks a decree of court setting aside
the trust as invalid, and declaring him.
the plaintiff. to be entitled to receive a.
full one-fourth share of his fathers
estate.

through the roof, was yielding. 1t was
not extinguished, however, until the
building had been thoroughly drenched
and the water was pouring in cataracts
down the stairs and through the holes
in the floors. 1t was then seen that the
upper floors and the rear of the build
ing had been completely wrecked.
Search for the bodies of the tenants
if any had failed to escape, was be-
gun. Mrs. French's body was found
on a couch in the parlor near the win
dow. She held her child clasped in her
left arm, and had drawn her skirts
around it to protect it. Her other arm
was thrown across her breast, as if to
guard the child still further The
baby's face was pressed against the
mothers bosom. A short distance
away was found the body of Miss Nor
rissey. The woman had evidently been
suffocated by smoke, as the fire had
hardly reached her.
Another dangerous fire occurred last
night, and for time many lives were
in danger It occurred in the Manhat-
tan State Asylum for the Insane, on
of the east wing of the building set
apart for male patients was destroyed.
The 100 patients in the wing that was
burned behaved admirably The flames
leaped around them and glowing sparks
fell from the walls and ceiling on their
heads and clothing, but they did not
manifest any fear. AS a result no one

FORESTRY RESERVATIONS.
PROTEST AGAINST CLEVELAND'S
RECENT ORDER.
Secretary of the Interior Bliss Gives a
Hearing to a Large Congress
sional Delegation.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Secre-
tary Bliss gave a hearing to-day to a
large Congressional delegation, who de-
sired to protest against the forestry
reservation order, issued by President
Cleveland, February 22d last, setting
aside large tracts in various States.
Those present included Senators Will
son and Turner of Washington; Clarke
and Warren of Wyoming; Carter and
Mantle of Montana; Cannon of Utah;
PettigreW of South Dakota; Represen-
tative Mondel of Wyoming; ex-senator
Moody of South Dakota; Land Commits
sioner Hermann and Director Wolcott
of the Geological Survey, also We're
present.
The general proposition urged was
that the proclamation be either revoked
in toto or the operations suspended un-
til an investigation could be made as to
the character of the lands embraced in
the reserved tracts.
It was claimed that the act of Presi-
dent Cleveland was in direct violation
of Section "a of the Act of March ),
1891, ITO repeal timber culture laws,
and of the General Land Office regula-
tionS, both requiring before any land is
set aside as forest reserves by procla-
nation that due and satisfactory notice
be given by posted notices in the vicin-
ity and publica ton in the newspapers.
Senator Pettigrew denounced the Or
der as contrary to the law, and called
for the entire revocation of it, but
stated that he had no objection to an
other proclamation being issued later
to meet necessary requirements and
respecting the rights and interests Of
the people.
Senator Wilson characterized the or
der as "a CHASTITY mistake" and called
particular attention to the Washington
reserve. which comprises 100000
acres. He said at least 100000 acres
had been reserved in his State in viola
ton of all rights, and without notice to
anyone. In one county alone embraced
within the order there We're 4.5OO min
eral locations, on which work aggre-
eating $2,000,O0O in value had been
done. The proclamation, he declared,
took away all rights, thus virtually
confiscating all such property. SO FAR
as washington State is concerned, the
reservation is not needed, as there IS
a perpetual water supply in the river
through the great glaciers, and an an
nual rainfall averaging 100 inches. He
said he was not opposed to proper ana
legal reserves, but they should not be
created in disregard of all other inter-
ests.
Senator Carter advocated the suspen-
sion of the order pending an invest1ga-
ton Of the class of lands thus brought
in.

GENERAL RUIZ RIVERA.
CAREER OF THE CAPTURED
CUBAN LEADER.
Not the First Time He Has Fought
the Spaniards, Always Being
With the CubanS.

HAVANA, March 31.-General Ruiz
Rivera, General Maceos successor in
Pinar del Rio, who was captured by
General Hernandez de Velasco on Sun
day near Cabezadas de Riohondo, came
to Cuba in 1868. For four years he had
followed the calling of a civil engineer
at Barcelona, Spain. He remained in
Cuba during the long war of the rebel
lion, which was suspended, though not
subdued. by the articles of peace signed
at Zanjon. He refused to sign the peace
and for a time continued the war with
Maceo and Leite Vidal, but finally left
the island in the steamer fernando
Catalicoa, furnished by General Mar
tinez de Campos.
For fourteen months he was the Sec
retary of the Spanish-American Gas
Works at Havana Later he held posi-
tions of trust in London, Madrid, Ma
Mia and Honduras During his resi-
dence here the last time a revolution
broke out. Not SympathiZing alto
gether with the plans of the leaders of
it, he left the island for the British col
onies and in due time brought up in
New York. He has a wife in New
York, but no children. He returned
finally to Cuba on September Sth last
at the invitation of General Maceo. Be
sides Spanish. he speaks, French and
English correctly.
In a conversation to-day with the
representative of the Associated Press
General Rivera expressed his gratitude
at the treatment he had received from
his captor, but he declined to talk with
reference to the rebellion
General Rivera looks to be about so
years of age. His features, though
somewhat drawn, are finely cut and his
expression is animated. His hair and
long mustache are quite gray More

JUSTICE STEPHEN ]. FIELD.
SOON TO RETIRE FROM THEu G
SUPREnE BENCH.
Regarded as Almost Certain That At.
torney- General r1cKenna Will
Succeed Him.

NEW YORK. March 3I.-The
World" has received a special from
Washington saying that Stephen ].
Field, Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, has decided to
retire from the bench in July. This
opens the way for the recastine. of the
Cabinet, by which President Mckinley
may make Colonel John McCook of
New York Attorney General.
When Joseph McKenna gave up
Judgeship carrying life tenure to serve
as AttcrneyGeneral, it was reported
that he. expected to succeed Field as a
Justice of the Supreme Court, both
men being accredited to the State of
California. His appointment would Gre
ate an interesting vacancy in the Cab
met.
The retirement of Justice Field has
been expected for considerable time. as
for months his health has been so
greatly impaired that he has been un-
able to give the necessary attention to
his duties. Justice Field has reached
the age of nearly 81 years, an age at
which a man should retire from active
life That he has been able to do his
work so long shows the remarkable
v;gor of the man. He was appointed
to the Supreme Bench by President
Lincoln in 1863 and has consequently
held that high office for thirty-four
years. Justice Harlan of Kentucky has
been longest on the bench, but Field
had been a Justice for fourteen years
when Harlan was appointed
That Judge McKenna will succeed
Field is regarded as certain. When
Mckenna surrendered the office of
Circuit Judge of California to accept a
Cabinet position it was given out that
he did so only on the promise that he
should have a place in the Supreme
Court and as President Mckinley is
known to entertain the most friendly
feelings toward Judge McKenna and
the highest admiration for his ability,
there is little doubt that he will be the
appodntee.
