The San Francisco call., 1897-09-18
CITIZENS PROVE FAITH
IN CALIFORNIA.
After This Gratifying Event Progress Of the
Peoples Line Will Be Steady and
Labor Still More Largely
Employed.

Last night it transpired that syndi-
cate com posed of leading citizens OF this
city had taken the entire issue OF $6, 000 600
of bonds of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin valley Railroad
This amour cement will be hailed with
delight throughout the State. The bonds
were taken by:
/. w. HELLMAN,
A. BOREL e. CO.,
NEVADA BANK,
JOHN D. SPRECKELS.
BANK OF CALIFORNIA,
BALFOUR. GUTHRIE & CO.,
ABBY NJ. PARROTT.
This event secures the ready cash for
the extension OF the road to Bakersfield
and the building of the line from Stock
ton to San Francisco.
The intelligence comes from an authen-
tic source that the work of railroad con-
ssruction will be commenced with vigor
at once and carried forward with all pos
siple dispatch, consistent with the con-
struction OF a durable road, until the en-
tire line between Bakersfield and San
Francisco is finished.
The most gratifying fact of the bond
subscription is the faith in the future of
California which is so amply manife sted
in the investment in Valley Railroad Sc
curities by citizens Of San Francisco.
When the directors of the corporation
decided to issue bonds to the amount OF
$6,000,O00 the idea was entertained by
many that the securities would have to be
disposed of in the money centers of the
East or Europe. The public spirit dis
played by tho capitalists of San Fran
cisco IN taking all the bonds is
sure sign that San Francisco intends

 The only remaining question Is the dates for the payment of the indemnity. The powers desire to insert these dates in the treaty of peace, but the British ambassador Sir Philip Currie, suggests that they leave the dates to be deter mined upon by the international conn mission.
 The ambassadors expect that all the details of the. treaty of peace will be settled on Thursday next.

It is from Court O1uma, minister of foreign affairs, to H. Shimamura, Japanese minister to Hawaii. After acknowledging the re- csipt of Hawaifs offer of arbitration 1t says:
 The imperial government are firmly convinced that their complaints in this matter are we'll founded and their de- mands are just, but nevertheless, in a spirit of concilation and in the hope that their action may contribute to the good relations of the two countries, they resolved to accept with certain n'ecessa- ny limitahjcns ari1 qualifications the

TWO STRONG POINTS
Against Luetgert Brought Out by the Prosecu-
 ton-nteresting Letters.

Chicago Sept. 1.-Two strong points were scored by the prosecution in the Luetgert trial today and unless the de- fense is able to impeach the truthful ness of the witnesses their testimony is bound to have considerable influence. The witnesses were Nicholas Faber, who testified that on the night of May i he saw Lustgert and his wife enter the sausage factory, and Charles Hengst, who swore that he passed the factory on the night of May 1 and heard cry from within as though some one was in pain. At the hearing before the police justice by whom Luetgert was held to await the action of the grand jury Hengst said that he could not tel whether the cry was that of human being or that of an animal. Today he said he was confident that the cry came from a human being.
 The defense dwelt on the statement he used before to i1npeach his testimony.
 Faba becamA confused on cross ex- animation and could not tell whether the moon shonte or whether it was clear night when he saw Lue.gert and his wife enter the factory on the night Of May 1, but he stuck to his story that hs had seen the two people enter the factory shortly after 10 o'clock on the night of May 1.
 The reading of the love letters which had been written by Luetgert to Mrs. FeIdt was great fun for the crowd in the court room, and 1t was very em- barrassing for th- defendant as in sev- eral of them he had spoken slight ing manner of the lawyers who were now conducting his defense, saying that they were greedy and not able to ham, de trial of such importance" He laid stress upon the incompetence of Judge Vincer1t, who is now the leading counsel for the defense. When these portions of ths letters were read the lawyers laughed and nobody enjoyed them more than Judge Vincent, but it was no pleasant joke for Luetgert, who twisted around in his chair and mop ped his face with his handkerchief and seem+d to be uncomfortable generally. The defense made a strong fight against the introduction of the letters, and when the court decided that they were proper evidence the defense asked that they be read in German as they might lose some of their original meaning by be- ing read in English. This the court overruled, and the letters were laid be- fore the jury as translated.

proposal of the Hawaiian government. [ telegraphed to you that the Japanese government accepted in principle the Suggestion of Hawaii for arbitration, and, that the terms and conditions would follow by mail. In confirmation of my telegram and in order to explain the Edature of the terms and conditions which in the estimation of the imperial government are essential to a satisfac- tory issue of the contemplated arbitra- tion. The reason assigned by the minis ter. of foreign affairs of Hawaii in favcr of. arbitration makes it also desirable that the award when pronounced shaM be of the highest and most commanding character.
 ment proposes that the two governments shall when the proper time arrives, unite in requesting that his majesty, tine king of the Belgians, may be pleased to accept the position of sole arbitrator.
 '4The imperial government. are, more over, persuaded of the deeirability of expressly limiting ttne scope of the ref erence, not only to Tighten the labors of rhe arbatrators, but with the views also tihat the decision may apply solely Ito the actual points of divergence. We there fore propose that the two governments shall collect the essential fao-s in the case and that the arbitration shall be limited to specification quesitions at law and fn case the award is in favor of Japan el1e measure of damages suffered by the subjects of his imperial majesty.
 'It is due to frankness that should in this connection set forth reasons that are fully set forth in another instructicm The imperial government cannot cons- sent that tfhe question of the bona fides of the possession of $50 by each of the rejected free laborers or of the applica- hGlity of the treaty of 1871 to the Japan ese subjects, o.her than those belonging to the merchant class, shall be regarded as points of issue upon which the de- cision of the arbitrator is to be invited.

You are consequently direct ed to communicate copy of these in- struciions to the minister of foreign af- fairs as a reply of the imperial govern nent to the suggestion in his note of the Eth of June.

Was Fraud Committed'?

Raleigh, N O., Sept. 7.-A second hearing was had today at Salisbury be- fore Special Commissioner Craige to de- eide the question as to whether or not there was fraud on the part of the direc- ors in leasing the North Carolina rail- road to the Southern railway. There were eminent counsel on both sides and many attempts made to establish legal fraud. The most striking feature, prob ably, of the evidence was the produc- tion by ex-Judge Avery of the minutes of the board of directors, as alleged vouchers are established, showing the use of $2,000 for lobby purpose. Another minute, it was said, authorized Presi- dent Alexander to bring the board to Raleigh during the session of the legis- lature at the expense of the North Car olina railroad.

The JohnnIes Are Kicking.

London, Sept. 1.-The Marquis of Salisbury's latest proposal for the set- clement of terms of peace between Tur- key and Greece is generally regarded as a victory for German diplomacy and much bitterness is displayed in England over the British premier's backdown. The fresh proposal is what Germany had been holding out for, namely, the control of the Greek revenue in the i'm terest of all the creditors of Greece as well as for the security for the loan to Greece for the purpose of paying her indemnity to Turkey.
