TROTTING BREEDERS.
important 1eeting of the Pacific
Coast Association.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-An i'm
portant meeting of the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders was held to-
day. The entry list for the fall meet
ing was canvassed, and showed to be
much heavier than generally expected,
all the events advertised filling, with
the exception of the free-for-all pace
and the free-for-all trot.
The futurity of So, 600 for trotters and
PAGERS at two and three years old Sc
cured 147 nominations from all over the
State. The heaviest nomination are
the Palo Alto Stock Farm, C. A. Dur
fee, George Gray, d. E. Knight, Oak
wood Stock Farm. Santa Rosa Stock
Farm and w. H. Stimson. The above
is the largest list of living foals ever
received for a light harness race in
California.
The speed committee of the breeders
is at work preparing programmes for
the meetings at Chico and Willows;
the association determining to manage
them, as each of the towns named fur
nishes a bonus of ST 900 and the use
of its track. The committee is also ar
ranging a meeting at oakland, which
will open the circuit.
Should Stockton drop out of the cir
cult the association will fill the date
with a meet at Santa Rosa. The Santa
ROsans offer 81 600 bonus.

CAME TO BLOWS.
Exciting Scene at the City Hall at San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-There
was an exciting scene just after the
adjournment of themeeting of the Board
of Supervisors to-day. Samuel G. Irving,
President of the Asphaltum ROofers'
Association, accused Supervisor Britt
of having made a false statement dur
ing the session regarding the roof of
the cracker factory which was burned
on Sunday The words were scarcely
out of Irving's mouth before Britt
struck at him, landing a glancing blow
on Irving's chest. Irving responded
with blow that caught the Supervis-
or's right ear. The Sergeant-at Arms
grasped Irving by the collar and was
trying to force him out of the room,
when Supervisor Clinton attempted to
restrain the officer.
At this point Mayor Phelan called for
a policeman, and Irving was conducted
into the corridor. When quiet was re-
stored Clinton apologized to Britt for
interfering. There were no arrests.

great deal of attention to the financial
conditions. He understood perfectly
that the hope of the insurgents was to
win independence by bankrupting
Spain While he did not believe in &C
tual bankruptcy he found that the
credit of the peninsula was growing
weaker; that faith in its ability to pull
through safely was lessening even
among Spanish partisans III Havana,
and that in watching The future pro-
gress of the insurrection SPANS ability
to get money must also be carefully
watched. Mr.. Calhoun also heard much
about the corruption among the favor
ties Of Canovas and Weyler in the pay
ment of the troops and the financial ar
rearages to pay which were piling up,
but he did not follow this branch of the
inquiry exhaustiyely.
While not charged with the response
bility of formulating a policy of inter-
vention or Of belligerency Mr.. Calhoun
returned from Cuba with his mind
made up that no encouragement should
be given the Cubans for annexation
to the United States. If Spain will not
permit them TO purchase their indie
pendence and the United States steps
in on the grounds of humanity or of
commercial interests or of political con-
dition, to stop the warfare, in his view
it should be with distinct specific un-
derstanding that it is not step toward
annexation. The assimilation of the
mixed population of the island, as he
looked at it, would be too much for the
United States, at least in the present
generation His opinion was stated
with much frankness both to Cubans
and Spaniards, and 1 do not violate any
confidence in restating it here.
Calhoun concludes by warmly prais-
ing General Lee, not only for his course
in the Ruiz case, but for the vigor and
promptness with which the Consul
General acquitted himself in the cases
of all American citizens.

PACIFIC COAST JOCKEY CLUB:
The Directors Trying to Arrange an
International Handicap.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The Pa
cific Coast Jockey Club Directors are
trying to arrange an international han
dicap to be decided at Ingleside next
spring. In all likelihood a $780, 900 or
$4,000 purse will be offered if the di-
rectors can bring together the best of
American, Australian, Irish and Eng
fish thOroughbreds. It is a mooted ques-
ton as to which of the three countries
produces the best races horses
For an international event San Fran
cisco is well situated. Australian horses
can be shipped here easily and so can
English and Eastern steeds.
President Henry j. Croker, in speak
ing of the matter, said that efforts
were being made to arrange such a race.
I'VE have sent communications to Aus
tralian racing men, and our plans are
now known to them," he said. Prob
ably we shall send an agent to Mel
bourne to personally interview the own
ers of the great handicap horses. We
shall proceed the same way in regard in
England. In this country 1 do not think
We will have any trouble in securing
the entries of the cream of the handi-
cap division. 1t will be great race, if
we can bring it about"

Los Angeles Chinese Lotteries.

LOS ANGELES, June S.-Chief Glass
to-day presented to the Police Com
mission a report embodying the diff
culties encountered in his efforts to
suppress Chinese lotteries, an evil
which has been rapidly growing in this
city.
The report says. in effect, that if the
keepers of lottery dens are imprisoned
instead of being let off with a small
fine, the business might be broken up.
The Chief recites that year ago he
appealed personally to the Police Courts
to impose heavier fines, and was re-
ferred to the District Attorney, who
promised to increase the fine from $40
to SD He had also served written
notices to the owners of property rent
ed for Chinese lottery purposes, but had

Despite the Assertions That BE Was
Murdered by Theodore a. FiSel,
No Steps Have Been Taken to Arrest
the Bookkeeper.
The Jury in the Case of Calvin S.
Hastings, ON Trial at Los Angeles
Charged With the 1urder of Lillian
Hattery by Criminal Practice,
Renders a Verdict of Not Guilty.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-Despite
the fact that Attorney Ach has openly
stated his conviction that Isaac Hoff-
man was murdered, and that book
keeper Theodore A. Figel is short in
his accounts with the firm of Hoffman
Rothschild & Co, no steps have as yet
been taken to arrest Figel, the police
insisting that there is no proof OF the
commission of a crime by him, and that
in any event the onus of filing a COM
plant rests upon those who accuse
him. Chief of Police Lees fails to see
the force of Ach's objections to the
manner in which the case is being
handled by the police, and asks peril
nently why the attorney does not take
the preliminary steps to secure his ar
rest, if he is SO sure of the RESPONSE
bility Of Figel as he states. Ach, on
the other hand, insists that it is the
duty of the police to arrest Figel upon
suspicion, claiming that there is suffi-
cient evidence of embeZzlement to war
rant his detention.
The arrival of Mr.. Rothschild of New
York, tomorrow, is anXiously awaited
by all concerned, as he has promised to
late partner, without. however, init
mating what form it will take.
One of Figers main supports to the
story he told to the police on the night
of the murder has broken asunder and
Edward Thomas, the printer who
claimed to have heard the firing of a
shot as he was passing the Bush street
side of the warehouse about 6:35 on the
evening of the crime, has been proved
to have a very imaginative brain.
At 6:35 this evening Attorneys Ach
and Rothschild made an experiment
which proves conclusively that Thorn
as was mistaken. At that hour the
attorneys, accompanied by several wit
neSseS and newspaper men, visited the
offices and prepared to make the exper-
iment. The party was divided into two
squads, one of which staid in the offices
and the other, composed of the newspa-
per men and one or two others, were
stationed at point indicated by Thorn
as. Three shots were fired from a re-
Volver exactly like the one supposed
to have been used in the murder, and
cartridges of the same make We're also
used. Not one of the shots was heard
by the listeners stationed where Thorn
as had said he was standing when he
heard the shots, and only one of the
shots were heard by listeners stationed
near the door, and the shot referred tc
would not have been heard by a casua
| paSSer by. 1t may be that Thomas
was nearer the sound than he indicat-
ed, and in that case Figel's story will
have good support, but in case Thomas
does not alter his statements, one OF
Figers strongest supports will have
been shattered

DAVIS WILL CASE.
The Copper Box Containing the Wife's
Ashes Opened.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-When the
trial of the contest over the will of the
late Jacob u. Davis was resumed to-
day, George Guthrie, a plumber, was
called upon by counsel for the contest
ants to open the much-talked of box in
which the ashes of the late Mrs. Davis
reposed. When the lid was re-
moved, the ashes were taken out, while
the box was examined. A tack was dis
covered within the receptacle, and the
attorneys seized upon it as though it
was a very important piece of evidence
The real purpose of having the box ex-
amined and measured was, however, in
order that it might be demonstrated that
a document similar to the will in con-
troversy might be dropped from the
sleeve of an interested person, while
ostensibly exploring the interior of the
box.
In order that the ashes of Mrs. Davis
should not be disturbed, it was stipu-
lated by counsel that another box, smil-
lar to the original, should be substi-
tuted for the purpose, and the copper
urn was thereupon resealed in the pres
ence of the court.

it was Identical with the blank used on
