ROCK CAUSED A WRECK.
A Freight Train Ditched on "A California
Road.

Decoto, Cal, Feb. PA little rock
wedged between crossing plank and a
rail caused a trainwreck in a cut one
mile west of Midway between Tracy
and Livermore yesterday, in which an
engine and six cars were derailed and
three men narrowly escaped with their
lives.
An extra freight in charge of Con-
ductor E. Martin and Engineer j.
Meade left West Oakland at 6:20 A. M.
for Tracy, via Livermore, picking up
and setting out several cars on the way.
The train was running only about
eighteen or twenty miles an hour when
the obstruction was encountered. En-
gineer Meade, Fireman Seymour and
Brakeman Brown were on the engine.
As soon as Meade felt the shock he
shut off steam and set his air brakes,
but the momentum carried the engine
100 feet along the ties. 1t then top
pied over against the high bank, while
the cars in the rear were piled up in Il
heap. The bank carried the cab away
and with it the head brakeman, Brown.
The fireman was thrown from the cab
several feet back. Fireman Seymour
landed on his head in the bank and
rolled almost under the topping cars.
Brown fell ON his face, but was unin-
jured. The engineer kept his seat,
and was not injured in the least, but
1T is miraculous how all escaped to tell
the tale. Traffic was blocked several
hours. The fireman had his leg some
what bruised, but nothing serious.

LICENSE SYSTEM RECOMMENDED


Washington, March 1.-The president
has sent to congress the report OF the
commission appointed to examine into
the condition and recommend the best
method Of protection Of fish in cOntigu-
Gus waters of the United States and
Canada. The two commissioners, Rich
ard Rathbun, representing the United
States, and William Wakeman, repre-
senting Great Britain, submit a separate
series Of recommendations in regard to
the fisheries from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The recommendations cover
the fishery resources and the means for
their preservation, among others the
Great Lakes, the Columbia river and
the waters between British Columbia
and the state of Washington. The COM
mission found it impossible to consider
fully all questions the subject present.
ed, and have been unable in many cases
to reach more than general conclusions.
"Our observations" they say, "have
clearly demonstrated the ineXpediency
of attempting to regulate any of the
fisheries described by rigid code OF
enactments, owing to their constantly
changing character and condition, and
we therefore urge, in the event of joint
action by the governments, that per-
manont joint committee, TO be composed
of competent experts, be provided,
which shall be charged with direct
supervision of these fisheries, and shall
be empowered to conduct investigations
and modify regulations as circumstances
require"
The commissioners say no system of
regulations can be properly admins
tered except by the licensing or regis
tration of fishermen, as basis of re-
stricting the character and amount of
apparatus employed in each locality.

REPORTS OF PRIzEFIGHTS.
Bill for Their Suppression to Be Re-
ported to the House.

Washington, March 1.-The prelimi-
nary newspaper reports of the coming
Corbett-Fitzsimmons prizefght were
brought to the attention of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today by Rev. Wilbur +.
Crafts, with the request for speedy and
radical action by that committee. Mr..
Crafts is secretary of the National Re-
form League, and has been instru-
mental in securing congressional action
against prizelighting and against lot
teries. He presented to the committee
the draft of bill to stop sensational
reports of prizetights, representing that
most newspapers would be glad to
omit the details of pugilistic events
from their columns if they were not
driven to publish them by the enter
prise of less scrupulous rivals.
The committee made some immaterial
changes in the bill, and then, by prac-
tically unanimous vote, instructed Mr..
Aldrich, of Illinois, to report it to the
house. The text OF the bill follows;
Section l. That no picture or de-
scription OF prizetight or encounter of
pugilists under whatever name. or pro-
posal or record OF betting on the same
shall be transmitted in the mails of
the United States or by interstate COM
merce, whether in newspaper or other
periodical, or telegram, or in any other
form.
Sec. ?. That any person sending
such matter or knowingly receiving
such matter for transmission by mail or
interstate commerce shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and shall he
punishable by imprisonment for not
more than five years at the discretion
OF the court, or by fine not exceeding
$1,000.

the United States to carry the same

NO REPLY SENT TO LEE.

teen days before he was killed. To
prevent Scott being secretly murdered.
General Lee demanded of General
Ahumada on Friday that Scott be
brought out OF close confinement and
allowed to see his friends. This was
not done by Saturday, and General Lee
cabled to Secretary Olney the facts,
asking him how many warships were
on the Florida coast, and if one would
be sent here in case it became necessary
to enforce demand
Not one word in reply to the uues-

AMERICANS IRE IN DANGER
Their Position in Cuba Is
Most Critical.
PROTECTION BADLY NEEDED
Many Americans Have Left Their
Country Homes-Secretary Olney
Again Denies Lees Resignation.

New York, March IA special to
the Herald from Havana, via Key West,
says:
Americans are flocking in from the
country. The position OF our citizens is
most critical. The rumOr, whether
true or false, has gone abroad that the
American government would not in
tervene so long as the trade interests Of
the country are not interfered with.
Unless something firm and decided
and strongly American is done by our
government in Washington, Americans
are in danger of their lives.
The murder of Ruiz and the demand
for the release of Scott are the sole
topics of conversation. The govern
mcnt and palace people here have tried
to change the subject of conversation by
giving out news of an alleged skirmish
with Gomez, but the attempt was a
failure.
The amusement and the great hilarity
which were observed in the palace have
changed. Minister de LONE, always
accurate as news gatherer, has cabled
the captain-general that Lee will not
be recalled and his resignation is not
accepted, and that he may be sustained.
Hundreds of kilograms have poured
in on Consul General Lee from all quar-
ters of the globe, congratulating him
on the stand he has taken, those from
the United States promising patriotic
action in congress. Even at this crit
ical moment, and with many heavy
cares and responsibilities which the
administration should share weighing
upon him, General Lee views the stu
alton from calm, dispassionate stand
point, and he expresses the hope that
the situation created by the murder of
Ruiz and his own determination not to
submit to another similar atrocity
should not be exploited by partisan ad-
vocates OF any particular policy toward
the Island of Cuba.

Washington, Marth 1.-2:4OP. M
Senator Hale has just received at the
capitol telegram from Secretary Oh
ney, which says in effect that Consul
General Lee never asked for his pass
ports, never asked for warships, and
that the whole story as to his rendering
his resignation is fake.
The rumor has gained wide currency
that Consul-General Lee has been given
his passports, and that a serious rupture
had occurred between the United
States and Spain. The report is abso-
lutely discredited here.

ONLY THREE VOTED NO.


Washington, March 1.-The last six
DAYS of the session are suspension days.
All the ordinary rules are suspended,
and bills can be passed and resolutions
adopted by a twO-thirds vote of the
house. Today was the first of these six
days, and the house celebrated it by
passing the senate international none
tary conference bill. Despite the SEEM
ing divergence of views on the money
question, the bill was passed, after Il
lively debate of two hours, by vote OF
279 to 3. Those voting no were Henry,
Republican, of Connecticut; johnson,
Republican, of Indiana, and Quigg, Re-
publican, of New York. 1t was sup
ported alike by Republicans, gold DEM
Ocrats and silver Democrats. The silver
Democrats and silver Republicans dis
claimed any faith in the commission to
secure bimetalism, but they expressed
themselves as willing to have the test
made.
Quigg and johnson both made vigor-
GUS speeches in opposition. Those who
spoke for the bill were G. w. Stone,
Grow, Watson, McCreary, Sparkman,
Hartman, McRae, Cooper, Cox and Nc
MILAN.
The bill also passed to provide for
the arbitration of differences between
the carriers of Interstate commerce
and their employees (known as the Erd-
man bilD; also the senate bill to pre-
vent the importation of impure tea.
After the dramatic Cuban debate in
the senate yesterday, the discussion to-
day was comparatively spiritless. The
galleries were packed, however, in ex-
pectation of interesting developments,
but there was no incidents during the
day that awakened more than passing
interest. The Indian bill was consid-
cred up to P. NJ, when for four hours
general discussion of the Sanguilly
case and of the pardon occurred.
Frye said at the outset that the San
gully resolution should be retired.
Morgan asked for the adoption of
another resolution calling for informal
tion as to the imprisonment of George
Aguirre. He also reviewed the San
gully case, declaring that the action
of the senate yesterday had warned
Spain against collision with the Unit
ed States, and had moved the queen to
the unusual expedient of a pardon by
cable. The senator severely criticised
the president and secretary of state for
alleged inaction in this case.
Lodge and Call spoke on various
phases of Cuban atrocities, and Hale
and White deprecated the Cuban agita-
tion. A resolution by Call calling on
the president for information on behalf
of the death of Ruiz in Cuba went over
to tomorrow. The Sanguilly resolution
went to the calendar by general con-
sent, which disposed of it as matter
of present interest.
The rest OF the day was given to the
Indian appropriation bill.

WERE NOT MUSHROOMS.


San Francisco, March 1.-Richard
PaStine, an Italian, went to Golden
Gate Park Wednesday afternoon and
picked mess of what he thought were
mushrooms. He and his wife and four
children partook of them for supper.
Two OF the children are dead and the
rest of the family are in dangerous
condition. The mushrooms turned out
to be toadstools, and Thursday morning
the entire PaStine family was very i'll.
Doctors were called in, but too late to
save the lives of the two young bows.
Pastine and his wife and two children
are in dangerous condition, but will
probably recover. The Pastine family
had more mushrooms than they could
consume, So they sent some to neigh
hor, Fortunately the neighbor did not
use them that evening, and in the
morning he was warned by the sickness
of the Pastine family.

NEW THEATER WINS.
Judge Carter Refuses to- Grant
Permanent Injunction.

After two days of fighting in the
courts, the Old Chinese Theater Com
pany was refused permanent injunc-
ton by Judge Carter yesterday to re-
strain the New Theater Company from
interfering with the performances OF
the old company. Attorney w. r. Cas-
tie. for the old company, cited an APP
peal when the decision was made, Sc
the matter may be given an airing in
the Supreme Court.
From the facts brought out in the
hearing, upon which Judge Carter
based his decision, it appears that one
of the 120 members OF the old COM
pany, Loo Chit Sam. had quietly or
ganized the new company and had ne
gotiated a lease OF the theater with the
manager This was, of course. without
the knowledge of the old company,
whose contract was merely a verbal
one When the new company took pos
session they were allowed to play for
six days before they were ousted by the
old company Then came the serious
objection, and the temporary injunc-
ton was granted to restrain the new
cOmpany from interfering with the
performance.
The production of the lease of the
new company in court completely stag
gered the old company, and in the
face of it nothing remained but to sub

The selection of Minister
Damon to represent Hawaii at
the Diamond Jubilee of Queen
Victoria is in keeping with good
Judgment from every point OF
view. Most certainly Hawaii
should be in line with the other
nations of the world in paying its
tribute of respect and we know
of no official better able to fulfill
the requirements of such IL mis-
sion than the Minister OF
Fiance. Although Hawaii seeks
to merge it's national independ-
ence with that of the United
States. our people are i'll duty
bound to uphold the national dig
nitv until the United States sees
fit to, take us into the fold. Ha-
wall has always received most
friendly treatment ut the hands
of Great Britain's Queen and
numbers many able British sub
iects among its citizens. On the
2Oth of June politics and national
differences will be cast aside. for
the time being. while the world
does homage To the woman whose
remarkable career is regarded
with we'll merited pride by all
her subjects. There are multfar-
ious reasons why Hawaii should
be represented ut this interna
tional love-feast: there is no good
reason why ii should not.
