OAKLAND, CAL, May 5.-The joint
meeting of the Supervisors. the represent
atives of the Oakland and Alameda gov

the Board of Trade TO consider the tunnel
proposition was held tonight.

opinion that was somewhat disappoint-
ing to those present He stated that
under the law the Supervisors were en-
powered only to build bridges, and that
they could not assist in any undertaking
to tunnel beneath the estuary.

meeting, and it was decided to make an
effort TO have the tunnel built by the two
cities, if possible, independent of the
county.

the beautiful scenery and costumes are
veritable triumphs of scenic art; the
sparkling libretto gives splendid comic
opportunities to De Wolf Hopper, of

BLAME RHuDES FOB THE RAID.
cuse for Hs Organizing an Armed
I1sUrrectjon

LONDON, ENG. July 13--The Parlia-
mentarian South African Com m ission that
has been inquiring into the Transvaal
raid has agreed upon its last report. The
Pail Mall Gazette will publish tomorrow
summary OF the conclusion of the COM
mittee. The report will express an en-
phatic oplpion that whatever justification
there might have been for action on the
part OF the people OF Johannes burg, there
was none whatever for Cecil Rhodes con-
duct in subsidizing, organizing and stim-
ulating an armed insurrection against the
Government of the TransvaaL
A heavy responsibility, according to the
report. remains with Rhodes, despite the
fact that at the last moment DR.. Jameson
invaded the TransvaaI without Rhodes
direct sanction.
The gravity of Rhodes transaction is
weightily expressed by the committee,
who find that he seriously EN- EMBARRASSED
both the imperial and colonial Govern
ments; that the proceedings resulted in
an astonishing breach OF internationa al
comfy; that he utilized his position and
the great interests he controlled to assist
and support revolution, and deceived the
high commissioner, as we'll as concealed
his views from the members of the colo
NAL Ministry and directors of the chart
cred company"
Ihe com mittee is of the opinion that of
the Chartered company directors who
were examined only Mr. Belt and Mr..
Mcguire were cogniZant OF the plans of
Rhodes, and as Belt was intrusted with
the money to promote the revolutionary
movement he must share the full respon-
siDility for the consequences.

Democrats Would Talk
the Bill to Awful
Death.
Bad Feeling Arises Through
the Failure of ConfereeS
to Agree.
Speaker Reed Accused OF Wanting
to See the Bill Defeated.
Lumbar Compromise.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 13.-To-
committee was devoted largely to the
efforts to bring about an aereemen on the
rates for free carpet WOODS. The effort
failed, however, and a member of the con-
ference said tonight that another OBJ
stacle threatened to postpone indefinitely
a conference agreement. The Senator
said: "If the situation does not improve
at the meeting tomorrow am hopeless
of getting any sort of agreement during
the present week"
The sugar, wool, tobacco and lumber
schedules appear to be the chief causes OF
failure to agree, although the leading item
in the lum ber schedule, the duty on white
pine, seems to have been fixed on the
basis of the compromise between the
House rate of 81 per thousand and the
Senate rate of half that amount.
The Senate and House conferees are
still wide apart in regard to nearly all the
important amendments.
The sugar schedule is particularly
oublesome, and if an agreement could
be reached upon this the way would be
clear for prompt settlement of all points
in dispute. The Senate conferees are act
ing as one man in support of their amend
ments, and are able to use the lack OF a
working Republican majority in the SEN
ate as an argument that they should not
be asked to recede.
The House conferees, on the other
hand. contend that their attitude has the
Endorsement of an overwhelming senti-
ment among Republicans generally, and
they are not inclined to yield anything.
There has been some Ugly talk at both
ends of the Capitol to-day about the
struggle, and when the conference broke
up tonight its mem bers showed i'll feel
ing.
One of the stories floating about is to
the effect that Speaker Reed really de-
sired to see the tariff bill fail. and this ex-
planned his presence in the Repub blican
cloakroom and on the floor of the Senate
during the last two days. There is no
foundation for such ements, but that
they are being made indicates the degree
of feeling that has been aroused between
Senators and Representatives.
Democrats come in for their share of
criticism. They are charged with having
several times prevented an agreement on
certain items and sched ules in the confer
ence by notifying the conferees that if
they carried out their intentions the bill
would be talked to death on the floor OF
the Senate.
The Democratic conferees have not been
asked into the conference, although they
were notified informally yesterday that
they would be.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 13-Mrs
Eugenia Reineman, who, with Ricardo de

ant for the Presidency of Costa Rica; Mrs.
Betsy Chevin, mother-in of De Re-
quesens; Herman Dohm, lithographer,
and Louis Houseman, foreman of the
Spanish-American Printing Company, OF
which Reauesens is president
Mrs Reineman's testimony contained
all the elements of the story of Mora's al
legged conspiracy to secure the Presidency
of Coste Rica and of the efforts of De
airy purposes by counterfeiting in this
CITY notes for over 81, ,000,0 000
To accomplish this according to her
story, the service Of William H. Dohm a
son of Herman Dohm, were secured, and
he made eight plates, from which the
notes were printed. Half million dol
lars worth of them were packed in a
sofa, which was sent to San Jose, Costa
Rica. The packing, 1t is alleged, was
done in the home of Mrs. Chevin. House
man, the foreman, is accused of having
been connected with the scheme. Mrs
Reineman testified to-day that the move
ments of all concerned in the conspiracy
were directed by Mora.
Il went to New Orleans March 3 last
and met De Requesens there on the 7th, -
she said. "He had satchel filled with
packages of bank bills. He admitted they
were bad, but said that Mora could re-
deem them when he became President"
! The examination will be continued to-
morrow.
