MANUFACTURED IMPURE FOOD.
Sentence Passed Upon the President
of Syrup Company.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-This
morning Frederick Welker, President OF
the Pacific Coast Sryup Company, ap-
peared at the bar of Judge Campbells 5
court, and the Judge promptly SEN
fenced him to pay a fine of SlUO or IN
default thereof to be confined IN the
County Jail for 100 days. Mr.. Welker
was convicted of manufacturing ana
selling a brand of raspberry syrup IN
which the berry was conspicuous by its
absence. 1t was for selling the PACING
Coast Sryup Company's brand OF rasp-
berry syrup that a Market-street gro
Ger was recently convicted and fined
S5O AT that time he and his fellow re-
tail dealers complained that the manu-
facturers of the adulterated goods were
not being prosecuted, and the case OF
Welker is the first in which manu-
facturer has been called to account.
In pronouncing Judgment upon Mr..
Welker Judge Campbell said: 4 have
heretofore expressed my views upon
the adulterated food proposition and de-
clared my intention to punish offend
ers severely. In my opinion the man
who manufactures adulterated goods
and places them upon the market as
genuine commits much more aggfa-
waited offense than the retailer who may
POSSIBLY have been imposed upon. In
this case 1 shall impose severe SEN
tence and order the defendant to pay
a fine of 500 or be confined in the
County Jail for 100 days. But at this
time | wish to give notice that hereaf-
ter the punishment of manufacturer
who is convicted in this court will be
limited to a considerable term of i'm
urisonment in the County Jail"

New Suitings.
NO RATE-CUTTING.
Western Roads Carrying on Business
as Under the Association.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The agreement
regarding freight matters, which was
practically adopted yesterday by the
Western roads, was formally ratified by
the executive officers, and is now in ef-
feet.
The freight matters took up very little
time to-day, and the meeting then
turned it's attention to passenger affairs.
The general passenger agents some days
since recommended that the Western
Passenger Association be turned into a
bureau of statistics and information,
and this recommendation was adopted
by the executive officers. The clergy
bureau and the mileage bureau of the
Western Passenger Association will be
retained, and the clerical force OF the
organization will be retained.
The only change in the working of the
association is that it will have hereafter
nothing ito do with the rates or their
maintenance. There has not been a
time in the last thirty years when rates
in the West, both in freight and pas
senger, were as well matained as at
present. There is no rate cutting among
any of the standard lines and every
precaution is being taken to prevent any
decentralization.
The unanimity with which the roads
are keeping the rates is at first rather
suggestive of an agreement, but it is
utterly impossible to prove that any
agreement exists among the roads. Each
of the roads are in a position to declare
that it has taken nothing but individual
action, and more than that, it is in a
position to prove it's declaration. Each
road has for itself issued orders to
contracting agents that under no cir
cumstances are rates to be cut The or
ders have told them to refrain from any
action which might under the most
strict Interpretation appear to justify
a complaint of cutting rates. They have
been told that even If competitor
should cut rates, they are not to meet
the reduction. If all the roads live up
to their instruction to agents, there will
be no chance whatever of any demoral-
ization in either the freight or passen-
ger business of the Western roads

ARMOR PLATE AND ORDNANCE.
A Big Factory to be Established at
Newport News.

NEW YORK, April IA press"
special from Norfolk, Va, says:
A well-authenticated rumor to the eff
feet that Coils P. Huntington and a
company of English and American cap
italists shortly will establish at Newport
News a large ordnance and armor- plate
factory is being given wide circulation
here, and it is accepted as true here.
Huntington, accompanied 7by a num-
Der of capitalists, recently went over
the ground, and, it is said selected a site
for the mammoth enterprise near the
ship building plant in which he is
largely interested. This company is
now building several battleships. and
will bid for more when the opportunity
offers.
The construction of the armor factory.
therefore, would give it a tremendous
advantage over any other ship-building
concern in America. 1t is stated that
the capital of the concern will be be-
tween three and five million dollars
half of which will come from abroad.
Newport News is peculiarly well situ-
ated for the manufacture of arnlor

PUBLIC DEBT.
Statement for the Month Ending
March 3lSt.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The month
ly statement of the public debt shows
that at the close of business yesterday
the debt less cash in the treasury
amounted to 81 ,003, ,962, 200, a decrease
for the month of $S,63S, ,254 This de-
crease is accounted for by correspond
ing increase in the amount of cash on
hand.
The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest-bearing debt, SS41 1864 $50;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, 81 800, 760; debt bearing no
interest, $377 ,2S7, ,O96. Total, 81, ,226,-
007 ,S06. This, however, does not in
clude $607, ,702, ,473 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, and offset
by an equal amount of cash in the treas
ury.
The cash in the treasury is classified
as follows: Gold, S1S9, 242, ,S03; silver,
S517, ,04S, 211; paper, $151, ,057 ,504; bonds,

COPPER OMITTED
No Provision in the Tariff Bill for the
Metal

WASHINGTON, April There was
an oversight during the consideration
of the Dingley tariff bill. The House
neglected to adopt the amendment to
put copper on the free list prepared
by the Ways and Means Committee.
Consequently there is no provision for
copper in the bill Not having anv
special mention, copper falls into
basket clause of % per cent. ad va
loren.
In the original draft of the bill the
Mckinley rate of 1 cent a pound on
copper was retained. The subject was
brought to the attention of the COM
mlttee second time, and as If an
peared that no copper is imported into
the United States, and some is export-
ed' the committee saw no reason WHY
1t should not be included in the free
list. The clause providing for it in
the metal schedule was stricken out bv
the House, but the amendment putting
1t on the free list was not offered.

STOCKTON, April 1-At o'clock
this morning James Douglass, laborer

accused of intimacy with other men.
The shooting occurred at Mrs. Doug

tered the house shortly before the hour

divorce was granted, about a year ago.
she had been too familiar with other
men. He declared that if he could not
live with her they would die togther,
and, so saying, he drew a revolver and
fired two bullets into her left breast,
in the region of the heart.
With d scream she threw up her arms
and fell to the floor, and the would-be
murderer instantly turned the smok-
ing weapon upon himself and emptied
the pistol, but not one of the leaden
missiles struck him, although the re-
volver was held SO close that his cloth
ing was powder burned. Thinking that
the PROSTATE form before him was
dead. Douglass, after failing in his at
tempt to take his life, fled into the
country for safety, making his way to-
ward the foothills of the Sferras.
George Bolts, a Deputy Sheriff ap-
pointed some time ago by Cunning
ham for work in the region of Linden,
and a man named Frank Beaver start
ed in pursuit, and before the fugitive
had gone two miles they overlook him
and he surrendered. He was brought
to the County Jail here.
About three weeks ago he called upon
his ex-wife under the pretext of visit
ing their two children, and on that oc-
cason he choked her nearly to death.
Mrs. Douglass, who was a Miss
Wright of Calaveras County, obtained
the divorce on the ground of failure to
provide. The bullets were extracted,
and the attending physician says her
wounds are not fatal.

new trial by the Supreme Court.
Page was appointed guardian OF Llch-

counting was demanded by the court,
and Page fled to Salt Lake City, where
he lived under an assumed name. He
then went to New York City, where he
was captured and brought back here
for trial. He was convicted of embez-
Element, but the Supreme Court gives
him new trial. because no demand was
made upon him for the money itself. The
fact that he ran away, according to the
Supreme Court, should not have inf1u-
enced the verdict against him, because
a man is presumed to be innocent until
proved guilty.
