POTTERY AND WooLExs.

Trouble In Framing Schedules Suitable
to HI Iutrrests.
WASHINGTON. d. c., March 1.-THE
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee are working over the
pottery and voolen schedules of the tariff
bill to-day, and endeavoring to arrange
the reciprocity clauses so as to open
French and German markets to American
products and livestock. A good deal of
trouble is being found in putting the
woolen and pottery schedules in a form
satisfactory to all interests. The com L
tee is endeavorlng to agree uron specific
duties instead of ad valolem rates, which
formed a part OF the Mckinley law as we'll
as the present law.
The wool-growers are very much dis
satisfied with the rates on carpet wool and
the committee is endeavoring to adopt a
general scale of specific duties. The
variety OF articles in the pottery schedule
makes a specific system difficult to
arrange, but efforts in that direction are
being made. The Mckinley schedules on
both these articles are likely to be en-
bodied in the bill to be introduced in the
House next week, leaving changes to be
made il they are found practicable, at q
later stage in the consideration of the
measure. The method adopted for COM
pelling France and Germany to abolish
their restrictions upon American lives Jock
and mat produ ucts is the offer of slight
concessions in the duties upon mineral
waters, champagnes, gloves, silks, chlcot
and argot.

said Mr.. Arnerich in reply to question by
a CALL reporter. ''is that appropriating
$25, 900 for the purpose of dredging Alviso
Slough. The people of my district had
been working for twenty years to secure
this improvement. 1t is one that is vital
to the prosperity OF the farmers there.
Alviso Slough, If dredged and made per-
manentiy navigable, would afford a cheap
outlet to the bay for ali the farmers and
fruit-growers in that very fertile district
"But the project had always been fought
by the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany because Its success would take away
large quantity of freight which is now
hauled to the railroad cars because there
is no outlet to boats on the bay.
1.-THE bill forming agricultural districts"
continued Mr.. Arnerich, "and making APP
propristions for the same was another in
which l had taken great interest. The
districts were practically abolished by the
last Legislature, and the farmers de-
manded that they should be re-esta blished
at least in part.
'.You see," added the giant from Frohm,
"the farmers have no opportunity or place
to show their fne fruit and vegetable
products except at the district fairs.
That's why I supported the bill, and I
think did my share in having 1t passed
through the Assembly.
"TEe bill removing the girls from the
Whittier school TO San Jose was another
in which interested myself. 1t was an

protect Itself from the slanderous and
libelous attacks OF newspapers. But his
strongest point, and the one upon which
the whole case hinges related to the mat
ter of the jurisdiction of the Senate and
the power of the Superior Court to re-
view the action of the Senate upon a
question of fact.
Anderson contended, and there was no
attempt to controvert him on this point,
that in matters wherein the Senate had
jurisdiction no Superior Court could 60
into the question of the materiality or i'm
mateFiality of any question asked by the
Senate or Senate committee during an
investigation of bribery charges. Such
question could only be considered by a
court of concurrent jurisdiction and never
by an inferior tribunal.
On this ground he held that the court
had no other course open to it, in view OF
the fact that the jurisdiction OF the Sen
ate was not attacked in the present issue,
but to remand the prisoners. In conclu-
sion he pointed out why, in his opinion,
the questions objected to by the counsel
OF the prisoners were competent, material
and relevant.
Deputy Attorney General Post con-
cluded the argument for the respondents.
He confined himself to the questions OF
the relevancy OF the questions asked by
the Senate investigating committee and
the rights of the Senate to be exempt from
review in any matter OF fact by an inferior
court.
McEnerney closed tie case without
any new points and Judge Hughes took
the matter under advsement until to-
morrow morning at $50 o'clock.

UNCLE SANS SPEEDY KARSHlPs.
The Son Francisco Covers Herself WIN
Glory and The New York Is
Good Second.

WASHINGTON, D. G.. March IL, =
Gratifying reports have been received at
the Navy Department of the speed OF the
finest new ships of the new navy under
ordinary service conditions the New
York of the home station and the San
Francisco OF the European squadron. The
San Francisco, after her recent docking at
Genoa, according to report transmitted
by Admiral Seliridge, had a run in the
Mediterranean, maintaining q speed
slightly in excess of Is knots for the un-
usually long period of ten hours, the
record speed of the vessel for four hours
burst having been 1911 knots-this with
picked coal and crew and extreme forced
draught.
The performance OF the San francisco
in covering over $50 knots in ten hours
under the service conditions, with only q
slight air pressure. is most gratifying to
Engineer-in-C Chief Melville, as is the report
OF Captain Schley Of the New York, which
recited that the New York on her recent
voyage from Hampton Roads to New
York kept up an 18-knot gait Tor four
hours between known points off the Jer-
sey coast. Th is was accomplished under
natural draught with foul bottom. Cap
tain Schley is very proud of the run and
expresses the conviction that the New
York can make 81 knots over long dis
tances whenever haste is required.

TOBACCO TRUST VICTORY.
Boycotted Cigarette Jobbers Dealing
WIN Rival Concern variy Appeal
for judicial Relief

TRENTON, N. J., March 12-In the suit
brought to annul the charter of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company and break up what
is known as the tobacco trust Vice-Chan-
cellor Reed this morning filed an opinion
dismissing the bill and ending the pres
ent litigation against the company. In
the language of the Vice-Chancellor the
action was brought ";o restrain the de-
tendant from transacting its business ana
from conducting it i'll manner prejudl-
cial to the company interests and injuri-
Gus to the people oe the State of New
Jersey"
The bill was filed by Attorney General
Stockton on the petition OF John K. and
Frank w. Wilbur, jobbers in paper cigar
cites, with whom the American Tobacco
Company refused to deal, according to
the allegation OF the Millers. because they
persisted in handling the "Admira" ci--
arettes, manufactured oy rival corpora
ton.
Vice-C Chancellor Reed holds that the
equity court has no jurisdiction that the
proceedings should have been brought in
the nature of quo warranto, and that the
corporation has right when legally
formed to deal the same as individuals.
The points raised by the complainants
may be inferred from the following sylla-
bus which he has attached to the de-
cision:
l. court of equity does not possess the
power to restrain corporations organized
under the forms of law from performing acts
within its corporate powers merely because
some of the steps taken in organizing the COM
pany may have been Irregular or because the
purpose OF the incorporators may have been
10 establish a monopo Y.
2. Under these conditions quo warranto is
the proper proceeding TO challenge The right
OF the corporation to exercise its franchises.
3. trading or manufacturing corporation,
until its charter is annulled by such proceed
ing at law, has the same authority as an indi-
viduaI trader or manufacturer TO sell or con-
sign its goods to select its selling agents and
10 impose conditions as to whom they shall
sell and the terms upon which they shall sell.
4. decree restraining the officers and
agents of a corporation from executing corpo-
rate acts is the same as decree enjeining the
corporation itself.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 12.-The
Assembly committee on the Examiner
libel investigation resumed its session at
o'clock this morning, and spent the whole
forenoon and a part of the afternoon in
examining witnesses without eliciting
anything that would throw light on the
subject.
Railroad Com missioner H. NJ. La Rue,
stated under oath that he knew nothing
of the matter under Investigation, and did
dot know that the bill existed until he
read the libelous article in the Examiner.
Thomas B. Bishop, OF the law firm of
CARRIER, Boalt & Bishop, said that Alvinza
Hayward was a client of his; that Mr..
HAYWARD had not mentioned the matter
of bill 273 TO him. The witness knew
nothing whatever about the case.
w. S. Dargie of the Oakland Tribune
said that at the request OF George w.
Baker he had either sent a dispatch or a
telephone message to Assem- bly, man Leay-
lit asking him to support the bill. George
W. Baker had told the witness that the
measure emanated from the Liquor
dealers Association.
W. Beede, manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Company, at this point was re-
ouested to produce all telegram ms or copies
OF kilograms which had passed through
his office between Senator VOORHEES, and
George w. Baker on the subject of the bill.
Mr.. Beede was recalled in The afternoon
and informed the committee that he had
examined all the kilograms in his Office,
but failed to find any from George w.
Baker or Senator VOORHEES, with reference
a-Hssembly bill 273.
Several Assem- blymen were examined,
1T declared that they knew nothing on
the subject.
The committee will hold its final ses-
sion, beginning at 9 o'clock, tomorrow
morning.

LAB0UcHERES IRE AROUSED.
Accuses an Equvocahng Witness of Tes.
Hying Falsely in the Jameson
Rad InquirE

LONDON, ENG, March 1.-THE exami-
nation of Sir Graham Bower. form erly In
perial Secretary at the Cape Colony, was
resumed to-day. Witness testified that
he had never told Cecil Rhodes to commu-
nicate his intention of assisting in the
rising in the Transvaal to the High Com
missioner. He understood that Rhodes
intended to do so. Rhodes, Sir Graham
continued, had communicated his inten-
tions to him as personal friend, not
as imperial secretary. He did not know
if he had ever asked Rhodes whether he
had informed the High Commissioner of
his plans.
Mr.. Labouchere, who is conducting the
examination. insisted upon positive re-
ply by the witness to the questions.
The High Commissioner, he said, had
wired last evening denying that he had
ever been told anything before the raid
that showed any connection between the
force that had gathered on the frontier
and the citizens movement at Johannes
burg.
The witness persisted in the statement
that he could not recall whether Rhodes
had said TO him that he had told the High
Commissioner OF his intention.
At this point the chairman interposed
and ruled against Mr.. Labouchere's con-
tinuing TO press the point, whereupon Mr.
Labouchere said he believed the witness
was not telling the truth.
Mr.. Cham Derlain, speaking warmly,
said: "The com mission must project the
witness from insult
Mr.. Labouehere-I repeat that it is my
opinion that the witness is not telling the
truth.
The chairman-You are out of order.
Mr.. Labouchere-I shall move that the
room be cleared on every opposed ques-
tion, if necessary. / am gong to see
whether this exami ination is sham or
reality.
The charman-This is not the way to
facilitate business.
Mr.. Labouchre-The way to facilita
business is to let me ask questione.
Then, turning TO the witness, he said:
Did Mr.. Rhodes keep faith by informing
the High commissioner of his intention
Of assisting in the rising?"
The witness vouchsaied no reply to the
question. whereupon Mr.. Labouchre
asked: DO you decline 10 speak in order
TO shield yourself?"
Other memb bers of the com mission IN
terposed at this point, but Mr.. Labouchere
persisted in demanding an answer to his
question, and the witness finally said: at
is a matter OF opinion whether Mr..
Rhodes kept his word or not. l decline
to say further"
In reply 10 a question by Sir William
Harcourt the witness said he did not
think that Mr.. Rhodes had co-operated
with ( he High Commissioner in such q
way as could have averted the raid.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March Il. Con
gressmen.elect have been singularly negli-
gent in forwarding to the clerk of the
House their certificates of election so as
to get their names placed on the roll
which the hold clerk of the House Of
representatives. will read at the meeting
of Congress in extraordinary session on
Monday next. No one whose certificate
has not been received can be placed on
that list except by unanimous consent.
At noon to-day there were twenty-nine
certificates missing. This negligence is
the more remarkable inasmuch as the
Representatives begin to draw pay from
the 4th of march just as soon as their
certificates are enro led. Those who are
not on the list cannot, Of course, particl-
pate in the organization of the House,
but it is quite likely that nearly all the
pr esent absentees will turn up on Mon
day to bring their certificates with them.
They were all notified at the beginning OF
the week to have their certificates ready.

MICHIGAN CITY, IND, March 12-
Warden Haley of the Indiana State prison
yesterday ordered the instant suspension
of all work by every convict not hired by
binding contract. This sudden action
was due to the discovery that an emer-
gency clause was attached to q bill passed
by the General Assembly abolishing con-
tract labor, and the bill thus became law
as soon as Governor Mount signed it. The
result is that 200 men are locked in their
cells with no means of employment.
The new law provides that contract work
shall be abolished as fast as existing con-
tracts expire, and by the end of the year
more than 30O men will be idle. 1t was
intended that convicts should be engaged
in making goods for other State institu-
tions, but no appropriation was made to
put the plan into operation.
