BISMARCK DOUBTS
He Has Heard of Alliances in Former
Times

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times says the Zun-
kunft publishes what is undoubtedly an
authentic interview with Prince Bis
marck. The prince expressed himself as
very skeptical regarding the alleged
Franco Russian alliance, and declared
that the czar's toast really committed
Russia to very little.
He said: Il remember in my diplo-
matte experience similar obscure eX-
pressions which were not unpleasant to
the ears of those whom they concerned.
l do not think the contents of the treaty
if it exists at all would please the
French. The policy of the Russian gov
ernment has always been cautious, and
1 cannot conceive that it could neddless-
ly commit itself to adventures from
which it would gain nothing. Count
Muravieff has always behaved as Ger
manys friend, and I do not see reason
why he should change his mind"
The eX-chanceller deprecated the
clamor for a big fleet and for colonial
expansion, saying: "Our flag should fol-
low our trade and not precede it."

AN ORDINANCE PASSED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ORDER OF
COURT
The Sacramento Trustees Object to
Holding an Election Under the
New Stratton Law

SACRAMENTO Sept. 3.-This after
noon a writ of mandamus was sued out
by j. j. McKinnon, miller residing in
this city, against the board Of trustees
of the city Of Sacramento to compel
them to pass an ordinance for the hold
ing of primary elections upder the new
Stratton election law The petitioners
attorney is ex-Assemblyman e. T. Hat
field. The petitioner recites that the
trustees have refused and continue to
refuse to pass an ordinance in compli-
ance with the law, thereby threatening
the petitioner with the loss of opportun.
ity to vote for municipal officers this
fall and likewise endangering property
and entailing expense of costly litiga-
tion upon the city. Judge Hughes
signed the order, making the writ re-
turnable a o'clock this afternoon.
Charles F. Leonard, president of the
board of trustees, said this afternoon
that those who voted against the propo-
sition last night-that is, himself, Kent,
Devine and Pennish-would employ
counsel to represent them and that the
officers of the board would take no part
in the defense although the writ of man
date is against all the members.
AT a session of the court held this
evening, Judges Hughes, Hart and
Johnson sitting in bank, the trustees
were ordered to hold a meeting before IL
o'clock tonight and pass the ordinance
for holding a primary election under
the Stratton law.
The city board of trustees met tonight
and pursuant to the writ Of andamus
issued by the superior court, passed an
ordinance providing that the primary
election shall be held under the Stratton
primary election law.
Subsequently a resolution was adopt
ed against the advice of the corporation
counsel, ordering that an appeal be tax.

THE CRAVEN CASE
A Million Was Not Much to Senator
Fair

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-Dr. Marc
Livingston was called upon by the plain
tiff in the Angus Craven case today to
refute statements made by Mrs. Craven
and witness Hennessy as to having seen
Senator Fair upon the streets of San
Francisco Saturday, December %, 1894.
Dr. Livingston stated that when he
called to see the Senator Monday, De-
cember "a, 1894, he found him suffering 6
from diabetes and Bright's disease and
that he died on the following Friday.
Several other witnesses were called in
rebuttal of various statements of de
fendants witnesses.
The jury was then excused until Tues
day morning and counsel discussed at
length the question whether the defend
ant had the right to prove the value of
the Fair estate. Mrs. Craven's attoT-
neys claimed that the evidence was ma
terial, to show that while the property
decided to her was valuable, it did not
amount to much to a man Of Fairs
wealth Judge Slack said that he would
rule on the admissibility of theevidence
at the next session of the court.

BEET SUGAR BOUNTIES
SUBJECT THE PRODUCT TO AN
ADDED DUTY
Treasury Officials Not Able to Decide
Whether the Dutch Bounty Is
a Bounty

WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-The queS-
from Holland to the United States shall
be practically excluded from this country
by the imposition of an additional duty
equivalent to the bounty paid by the
Dutch government is one which the
Treasury Department will have to de-
eide in the near future. At present such
sugars are allowed to come in on the
payment Of the duty fixed by the sugar
schedule in the tariff bill, with the under
standing that If it is found that the ad-
ditlonal duty applies it shall be paid.
Section Of the Dingley act provides
that when ally country shall pay, either
directly or indirectly, any bounty or
grant upon the expectation of any arti-
Gle or merchandise, ii shall be subject,
when imported into the United States
to an additional duty equal to the ex-
port bounty. This is aimed especially
at sugars. and the Tres sury Department
has called upon the State Department
to secure, through the Consuls and Min
listers abroaG, detailed information as to
all export bountie.s paid by foreign gov
ernments. 1t has been generally as
sumed that the new Dutch sugar law,
which went into effect yesterday, pro-
vided for an export bounty, but this
seems to be open to considerable doubt.
A draft of this law has been forwarded
by he Minister at The Hague. The
Treasury officials have not yet exam
ned it carefully enough to decide wheth-
er it provides in any direct way for a
bounty on eXportation. The draft of the
new law shows that premiums are al
lowed on beet sugars produced and with
drawn from the sugar factories, but this
does not seem to be an export bounty
as it is the same on sugars withdrawn
for home consumption as on those
shipped abroad.
1t is doubtful whether this can be CON-
strued to be a bounty or grant upon the
expectation Of sugar, aud this may lead
to a decision that no additional duties
can believed on Dutch sugars on account
of the bounty. The effect of such decis-
ion would be to give Dutch beet sugars
an advantage in the American market
ever German, Austrian and French sug-
ars, as these countries pay bounties on
the expectation of their sugars, and when
they are imported into the United States
they must pay additional duties eQuiva-
lent to the bounties.

A Miner Mangled

JAMESTOWN, Cal, Sept. S.-Martin
Borland, a miner at one of the Gillis
mines at Tuttletown, Tuolumne county
was shockingly mutilated yesterday by
falling down the shaft in which he was
working and being mixed up in the ex~
plosion of five blasts which he had set a
few seconds earlier. Borland was maim-
ed and cut all over. His scalp was nearly
torn off, his leg badly mashed and great
chunks of flesh torn out in places. Bor-
land was using a rope ladder and 1t
broke while he was trying to get to the
surface after setting off the blasts He
fell to the bottom of the shaft, but cried
to his partner to lower the bucket. Just
as the bucket reached the bottom and
before Borland could be hauled out Of
danger the first blast went off, injurins
him, and the other four blasts followed.
The attending surgeon thinks he has a
chance of recovery.

IDAHO LAW
Most of the Laws of the State and
Invalid

DENVER, Sept. "A special from
BOISE, Idaho, says: Judge Stewart to-
day decided the antigambling law un-
constitutional. The decision is under
the ruling of the Supreme Court in the
fee law case. which in effect nullifies all
the important laws of the State. En-
couraged by this decision the District
Courts of the State will be flooded by at
tacks on various laws which are claimed
to come under the ban of the Supreme
Court. If the appropriation bill is at
tackled, as seems likely, Governor Stein
enberg may be forced to reconvene the
Legislature. If the Governor decides to
call an extra session of the Legislature
he will be in quandary to know which
to convene, as it is presumed all but the
first session under statehood was illegal,
the legislative apportionments being
open to attack under the Supreme Court
decision.

ONLY A HOAX

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 3.-Presiden.
Mckinley and party arrived here at 1C
o'clock this morning, as guests of the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture. After
luncheon at the Southern Hotel, the
President addressed an immense crowd
of school children in the main building
Later the party was escorted to various
buildings of interest, where informal re-
ceptions were held.
An unpleasant feature of the presi-
dents visit to the city was the report
which gained currency through the pub
lication today of an anonymous letter to
the effect that the president was in bod
lily danger because of the appointment of
immigration Commissioner Powderly
and that extraordinary precautions
would be taken to guard Major McKin-
ley. The mayor and the directors of
public safety regard the communica-
ton as a hoax, and both state that il
was never considered seriously.

some there is no sanitary work Of i'm

1T necessarily follows that through

lack of uniformity in regulations and
methods and deficiency of their execu-

the sanitary methods are of the crudest
