MILITIA AT CAMP BUDD.
Third Brigade Boys Having Good
Time at Santa Cruz.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 1S.-At Camp
Budd there are twenty physicians,
members OF the various companies, for
in The country towns the companies

and professional men. A feature of the

TAXING OF RAILWAYS.
Views of Member of Kentucky's
Board of Valuation.

FRANKFORT (Ky), Aug 1S-At
least one member of the State Board
of Valuation does not believe in the
right of the board and of Kentucky s
right to assist the franchise of the
Southern Pacific Company for the tax
alton in this State He says that in
the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Kentucky case
against the Western Union Telegraph
Company, Justice Brewer plainly said
that while a State had the right to
tax the property of a franchise exer-
cised within it's borders, that it would
be manifestly unfair for a State to at
tempt to assess all or any part of a
franchise, no part of which was exer-
cised in that State, citing as an illus
tration the case of the Southern Pacific
organized and chartered in Kentucky,
but exercising no part of its franchise
in Kentucky.
This same member of the board,
however. says that there is a way by
which the Southern Pacific Company
can be made to pay a big tax to Ken
lucky The laws of this State, he says,
provide for taxing the personal prop
erty of all residents of this State, no
matter where such personal property
may be located. He says that the
''home" of the Southern Pacific is in
Kentucky, though it does not operate
in Kentucky, because it's charter was
granted here, and it was organized
here, so that its personal property,
stocks, bonds, etc, are taxable by
Kentucky, just as is the personal prop
erty of any resident or corporation or
ganized in and having it's headquarters
in this State.

YOUNG MEMS INSTITUTE.
The Grand Council Opens It's Ses-
sion at Santa Rosa

SANTA ROSA, Aug. 1S.-The morn
ing trains on all roads brought in large
numbers of delegates to the Grand
Council. Young Mems Institute, now
in session here. The noon trains
brought in more, and most of the dele
gates had arrived when the Council
was called to order at Odd Fellows
hall this afternoon by Grand President
James Gallagher.
At 9 o'clock this morning the Santa
Rosa band took up position at Odd
Fellows hall. The delegates formed
in line there a few moments later, and,
headed by the band, marched to st.
Roses Catholic Church, where solemn
high mass was celebrated. The church
was handsomely decorated in honor of
the important event. The delegates
had reserved seats, and the church was
crowded with those who desired to
witness the imposing ceremony. The
music was furnished by a San Fran
cisco choir.
Principal interest centered in the ad-
dress delivered by Archbishop Rior-
dan to the delegates. The Archbishop
took for his text a passage from the
ninth verse of the eleventh chapter of
Ecclesiastics. Rejoice, Oh, Young Man
in Thy Youth, and Let Thy Heart
Cheer Thee in the Days of Thy Youth"
The Archbishop's address was an elo
Quent and patriotic effort. He appealed
to the young men to live up to the
teachings of the church of their order,
telling them that in a few years the
country would be in their keeping.
Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
J. NJ. Cassin, assisted by a number of
other priests.

UTICA MINE FIRE.
The Flames Are Believed to Have
Abated.

ANGELS CAMP (CaI), Aug. 1S.-The
fire in the Utica mine seems to have
abated. although it is impossible to as
certain to what extent the fire may have
spread, or TO estimate the amount OF
damage done Until noon yesterday
the Sickle shaft was being flooded by
every available inch of water obtain
able in Angels This water is trans
ported through an aqueduct or flume, a
distance of sixty miles from the Stan
islaus River, and should the mine be
closed down indefinitely, the miners Will
find temporary employment in repairing
the flume.
When the General superintendent,
Tom Lane arrived on the ground, ord
ers were Immediately given to discon-
tinue the flooding process, and to at
tempt to smother the fire. All the
shafts were bulkheaded as closely as
the character of the ground will per-
nit, and from present indications the
fire is believed to be dying out.
The cause of the fire is attributed to
the carelessness of a miner who was
filing his lamp with oil at station No.
4. A lighted wick was thrown among
the kerosene. and fgnited one of the
cans. An effort was made to put this
out but in the attempt another can
was upset and panic stricken, the men
ran to get out of the shaft. alarming
the shift then working, who promptly
deserted their posts.
STOCKTON,Au 1S.-The news from
Angels tonight is that the Utica mine
shaft will not be opened before to-
morrow, but it is believed that the fire
is out, as no smoke or gas is coming
up. The delay was ordered owing to
the desire of superintendent Tom Lane
TO talk with Alvinza Hayward. who
was to reach the mine this evening.
Charles Lane, one of the owners of the
mine, is absent, but they all have the
fullest confidence in the judgment of
his son, Tom, who is now in charge.

NEW TRIAL DENIED.
Judge Dougherty Renders an Opin-
ion in a Mendocino County Case.

SANTA ROSA, Aug 1S.-Judge
Dougherty this morning delivered an
opinion in the case of Mendocino
County against J. r. Johnson and his
bondsnien, the motion for a new trial
being denied. Some time ago MendO-
cino County brought suit against john
son, who is Tax Collector. for 5000,
which Johnson's Deputy, Handy, claim
ed he had paid to County Treasurer
Ford on December IL, 1895, but for
which he took no receipt. Seven days
later Handy took 1900 to the Treas
urer and demanded receipt for $780,
600, so as to include the So 900 paid
December 11th.
Ford, hoever disclaimed all knowl-
edge of the $1,000 payment, but being
told by the Ukiah banker, who was
with Handy when he went to the Of
flee, he gave the desired receipt. Sub
sequantly the Treasurer found he was
So, 600 short, and further inquiry sat
isfied the banker that it was on a pre-
vious occasion that Handy had paid
the So, 90 to the Treasurer in his pres
enca. The case was tried before Judge
DOugherty and a jury, which found
that Johnson's deputy had not paid
over the $1,000 as claimed. The case
will probably go to the Supreme Court.

PLYER CASE.
District Attorney Lindsay Makes
His Opening Statement.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 1S.-The court
room was crowded this morning when
District Attorney Lindsay began his
opening statement in the George F.
Plyler case. He spoke for an hour.
saying that the prosecution would
prove that P1yler had entered into a
conspiracy to MAIN Charles Harris.
1t would be shown that Plyler had ap-
preached reputable men versed in sur
gerry to obtain their services; that he
had engaged a negro to assist him;
that it was first proposed to take Har-
ris out to Wagner's Park to perform
the operation, and leave him there;
that Plyler's act was not that of a
husband while in a fit of passion, but
that it was done coolly and deliberate
l,y every precaution having been taken
TO prevent Harris losing his life. Mrs.
Plyler," continued the District Attor-
ney, was the bait in the trap set for
Harris
A sensation was caused when NJ.
Schoedde, co-defendant. was called to
the stand by the prosecution. The first
question, DO you know Plyler?" ellie
tied an objection by the defense which
the court overruled. Schoedde was in
structed by the defense to refuse to
answer. and he replied. arising from his
chair, that he declined to answer, be-
cause it would incriminate him.
Attorney Burchard argued at length
on this point, as the court had stated
that the witness must answer the ques-
tions put to him. The court finally took
the matter under advisement.

DUKE OF YORK.
He and His Wife Accorded an En-
thuSiastic Welcome in TreJaud

DUBLIN, Aug. 1S-The Duke and
Duchess of York arrived at Kingston
from Holyhead at 9 o'clock this morn
ing. The weather was glorious and all
the ships in the harbor were brilliantly
decorated for the occasion. The guard
ship Melamphus fired royal salute as
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert en-
tered the harbor AT noon the Commits
sioners of Kingston Township boarded
the Victoria and Albert and presented
their royal highnesses with an address
expressing the hope that their visit
would lead to the establishment of a
royal residence in Ireland.
The Duke of York replied that he and
the Duchess looked forward to becoming
better acquainted with the people and
the beautiful scenery of Ireland
On disembarkig the Duke and Duchess
of York were accorded an enthusiastic
reception, being loudly and continuously
cheered by the vast crowd assembled
on and about the Carlisle pier and it's
approaches. The cheering, which was
mingled with the booming of cannon,
was followed by the bands playing the
national anthem. during which the
whole thronG uncovered
Dublin amid a renewal of enthusiasm.
Handkerchiefs and hats We're waived
and flung in the air, and the cheering
was redoubled as the train drew out
of the depot The ovation was repeated
upon the arrival of the Duke and
Duchess in this city. All the windows
and house-toDs along the route fol-
lowed by the Duke and Duchess were
black with people, and the buildings
were profusely decorated. There was
an imposing military procession, and on
all sides were to be seen Union Jacks
with the green flag of Ireland
The visit of the Duke and Duchess of
York is to certain degree an Off
cial function, as representing Queen
Victoria's concession to the repeated
Irish representation of the Sights put
upon Ireland by failure of members of
the royal family to visit the Emerald
Isle, and the Conservatives are trying
to attach as much political Importance
