WANTS THE PAY
The Lawyer Thinks He Influenced
Legislation

OAKLAND, June 12.-The deposition
of P. f. Bowles, the banker, who, with
George McNear, the wheat king, is a de-
fendant in the suit of eX-Judge A. H. L.
F'rick for $4,000 for promotion services"
in connection with the wharf, pier and
chute bill passed by the last Legislature,
has been taken. Bowles fatty denies
that he engaged the attorney as claimed.
He does not remember telling members
of the Legislature that ne and McNear
had property worth millions of dollars
that was jeopardized by the old act gov
erning franchises. He does not remem-
ber telling Assemblymen Leavitt and
North that Legislative relief was neces-
sary to save the company thousands of
dollars. He positively declares that his
only interest in speaking to Frick was
to find out where the Meade bill stood
on the file. When asked If he had en-
ployed Frick TO do any other work there
was an objection from his counsel, and
he declined under advice to answer the
question.

ANXIOUS CHURCHMEN
Fear the Outcome of the Vestment
Decision

NEW YORK, June 12.-There was an
atmosphere of anxiety pervading the
general council of the Reformed Episco-
pal church this morning. What the out
come of the councils action will be-
whether 1t will injure that church or not
was discussed.
Treasurer Helm, in reading the report
of the finance committee, called attention
to the church's need of money, and an
nounced that it ought to maintains the
regular reserve in the church treasury;
the amounts annually given to small
churches would have to be reduced to
s10o. The salaries of some of the old
bishops were temporarily reduced.
The early part of the morning session
was devoted to reports on missionary
work.
The constitution matter came UP in the
afternoon session. when 1t was reported
by the committee on canons and con-
sttution it would be unable to report on
the amendments, and 1t was decided to
make them special order of business for
Monday.
The next general council will be held
on the third Wednesday Of May, 1900, at
Baltimore.
A resolution wals adopted declaring
that the sentiment that had gained
ground among people that the Chris
imperial religion for all the races of men,
but is Only one among religions, be de-
clared contrary to the teachings of God.

President Diaz, having forfeited all the
railway concessions held by the Mexi-
can National Construction Company, at
the Office of the company in this city
John Pratt, the Secretary, said in an in
terview "The concessions which have
been forfeited were for lines Of road
which have not been built within the
time allotted under the terms of the

owns and operates road between the
port Of Manzanillo, on the Pacific coast
of Mexico, and Colima. the capital of the
State of Colima. 1t also owns piece Of
road near Zacatecas, in the State Of that
name. Concessions were given for a
road connecting these two bits of track
and for another branch line. AS they
were never built, the grants expire by

A Useless Scheme

NEW YORK. June 12.-The Parochial
Mission Society of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church will formally withdraw Its
support from the Church Army Septem-
Der 2S next. This decision, which was
arrived at at the regular meeting Of the
Executive Committee, amounts practi-
cally to a complete repudiation of Cen
eral Henry H. Hadly and his scheme Of
evangelization. 1t was not entirely
unlocked for, however, because the
Church Army, since its organization a
year ago, has existed only on sufferance
and no rector in this diocese has been
found willing to indorse the work. In
fact it has been on trial and has not
found favor with the great majority OF
the clergy. 1t was placed on trial only
through the efforts Of DR.. Hadley, Vicar
Of st. Agnes, who Is said to have now
changed his mind about its usefulness.

CAREFUL TESTS
Prove the Porter to Be Thoroughly
Equipped

NEW YORK,June 12-The final trial
trip of the torpedo boat Porter has been
made and the little flyer proved itself a
success in every way. The trial trip
was made in the horseshoe in Sandy
Hook and consisted Of working the tor
pedo tubes and firing torpedoes. When
off Sandy Hook the tactical diameter"
of the vessel was tried, that Is, the ves-
sci was started at II knot speed and
it was turned. The vessel made a COM
plete circle in HOO feet. The test was
thoroughly satisfactory to the board
The vessel was next taken into deep
water and driven ahead under full
steam. The order was then given to re-
verse the engines to ascertain how
quickly the boat would answer them
1t was found that under full steam the
vessel began to back within half it's own
length. and when the engines were
started back again at full speed the ves-
sci started ahead at one-Quarter Of it's
own length. This ended the trial of speed
and the working of its engines. The
steam and hand steering apparatus were
then put through the various tests and,
like the other part Of the machinery
proved successful.

GROWING ANXIOUS
The Hawaiians Wish to Be Annexed
Right OF

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Hatch,
Hawaiian Minister, and Lorin Thurston,
ex-Minister to the United States, called
at the State Department this afternoon
and spent half hour in close consulta-
tion with Assistant Secretary Day.
They said upon coming away that the
business was unimportant. but declined
to state it's nature. All that could be
gathered from the State Department
was that the visit had no reference to the
trouble that Hawaii is experiencing In
the effort to control the entry and color
ization Of Japanese laborere. AS 1t is
we'll known, however. that Hawaiian
representatives are losing no oppoi tu-
nifty to impress upon Congressman and
other public men the necessity OF speS Siy
action in the direction of annexation Of
the islands leSt the chance be lost to the
United States, it is probable that the
Minister profted by the visit to Judge
Day to make some representations in
the case and perhaps make suggestions
for the treaty.
