ton in tie Matter OF Federal
Appointments.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23-Repre-
sentative Loud will leave for San Fran
cisco next Wednesday. He will stop one
day in Chicago, one in st. Paul and an.
other in Portland, Oregon. Mr.. Loud is
now entirely recoy sred from his recent
serious illness. He will not leave here
with the best of feeling toward his COL
leagues of the California delegation. In
conversation with THE CALL correspond
ent he complained bitterly of their con-
duct, which he said had been unfair to-
ward him. He said that it was the un-
derstanding that each m EN- Der of the del
egaton was to be consulted when Califor.
fornia appointments We're to be made and
that the delegation was to agree on the
men to be indorsed. With this under
standing he indorsed John P. Jackson,
Sanator Perkins man, for Collector of the
Port; Frank Leach for Superintendent of
the Mint; Captain Merry for Nicaragua,
as well as Morrow and de Havens for the
judgeships, and it was his confident belief
that he, as Congressman from the Cali
fornia metropolis who is now serving his
eighth year, would have some recognition
at least, but up to date he had not secured
an appointment and hardly expected to
receive anv. Mr.. Loud said tonight:
II thought l was dealing with gentle
men ali the time, but have discovered my
mistake. | realize now that / missed
point when l failed to suggest to the
President that he appoint Joe Spear Col
lector instead OF Jackson. The President
was very anxious TO appoint his friend
Spear, and it took great deal of pleading
on Senator Perkins part to have Jackson
appointed. If l had refused TO join the
delegation and had recommended Spear
for Collector he would have been ap-
pointed, for the President only wanted
good excuse to appoint him. / have stood
in with Perkins, Hilborn and Barham and
indorsed their men for places, yet they
have treated me with scant courtesy.
Perkins promised me that he would not
recommend Spear for Surveyor, yet l
afterward learned that he suggested to the
President that Jackson might be made
Collector and opeac Surveyor. They in
dorsed Lynch for Internal Revenue Col
lector and A. c. Tufts for drug inspector
while l was sick.
"Congressma Joy of Missouri told me
yesterday that he had gone to Senator
Perkins in the interest of his brother, q
San Francisco druggist, for drug inspec-
tor, 10 succeed Kern, and Perkins in
formed me that LouG had the making of
this appointment, and he would do well
to see me about it. Notwithstandin g
this, Barham and Hilborn recommended
Tufts for the place without even consult
ing me. | understand that Congressman

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, July 23-G. R.
Borden, a wealthy pioneer resident of this
county, died at his bone al Purissima, on
the coast side, yesterday. Borden landed
in this section in 1858, locating near Half
moon Bay, and had the distinction OF
being the first white man to cross the
Santa Cruz range of mountains and make
his home in that place. TIE late James
Peace, who deserted his vessel in San
Francisco Bay some years previous, was
undoubtedly the first white resident.
Borden was born near Little Falls,
n. Y, in 1872, and during his boy mood
was schoolmate and intimate friend OF
the late Senator Stanford. Borden was
one OF the builders of the Erie canal, hav-
ing had charge OF the construction of fifty
miles near Utica City.
The deceased was extensively engaged
in the manufacture of shingles and was
associated with G. P. Hartley of this city,
forming one CO. partnership, and with
r. II. Hatch. of the coast side in a similar
enterprise. His real property consis IS
of a valuable tract OF timber land in
Purlssima Canyon which is worth 500. 000
He leaves one son. The burial took place
to-day at Hallmoon Bay, under the aus
pices of the Masonic fraternity.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 23-The
Chinese residents Of this city have de-
cided to fight the alien labor law passed
by the last Legislature. This law imposes
tax of cents day on the labor of aliens.
The ground that the Chinese will take is
that as they are barred from free citizen
ship they cannot be made the subject of a
discriminating tax.
The constitutionality of the law has
never been attacked on other grounds. An
injunction suit has already been brought
by a citizen of Great Britain, who objects
to paying the tax on the ground that it is
violation OF the treaty which insures
equal privileges and rights to the citizen.
