A "Reminiscences.


This afternoon by chance shook
A faded blossom from book,
And crumbled with my clumsy feet
The thing that was so fair and sweet
Some twenty Junes ago.
One summer evening by the sea
MY little sweetheart walked with me.
And from bending briar-vine
Broke off this blossom as sign
Some twenty Junes ago
Sweet were the fields in fading light
with rsses closing for the night,
And sweet the promise made to me
That summer evening by the sea
some twenty Juues ago.
Ah--well-aloce go my way
Content and stout nd getting gray
The light o. love for me oi.o oo"h'
The rose o. love for me turned bls'

STATE SECRETS
IN A BLUE BOOK
Decisions of the Powers in
Regard to Coercing
Turkey.
Russia and France Agreed to
Consider, but Germany Made
Conditions.
salisbury Took the Lead and Austria
and Italy Fell Into Line With
England.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 21.-The Govern
ment has issued a blue book containing
the official correspondence IN regard to
projected reforms In, Turkey. The CORE
spondence shows that on September %
last LORD Salisbury proposed that the
powers take measures to enforce their pro-
posals, and that in the event of un willing
ness on the part of any power TO assume
its share in the coercive measures applied,
that power should not oppose the action
of any other.
Austria gave her assent to this PROPOSE
ton without qualification, and later Ger
many assented, with the provision that
any coercive action taken against Turkey
must be unanimous, and further, that the
integrity of the Ottoman empire mnst be
maintained. Italy gave her absolute es-
sent to the proposal, but Russia objected
TO any scheme which involved the appli-
cation of coercion to make it operative.
In interposing objection M. Shishkin,
then at the head OF the Russian Foreign
Office, stated that coereive action was re-
pugnant to the Gear.
In reply to this, Lord Salisbury expostu-
lated with the Russian Minister, saying
that it would be useless for the powers to
make further concerted representations to
the Porte in regard to reforms unless they
were prepared to enforce their proposals.
On Novemb bar "a Mr.. Shishkin wrote to
Lord Salisbury, saying that the Czar had
agreed to consider the subject of coercion,
if the Sultan should prove recalcitrant,.
and the other powers were unanim ously
IN favor of resorting to coercion.
About the end of Decem ber France gave
similar assent to measures of coercion.
and the Governments of Russia, Austria
and Italy reafirmed their adhesion to
that plan of action.

AFTER IRE BOOkMAKERS.
Senator Feeney Hos "a BifI Rather
Stneepinn In It's Nature.

Senator Feeney HES Biu Rather
StoeepinO ia Its Nature.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. Ex-senator
Feeney is after the booksellers and book
max ers. He introduced a measure to-day
that would sweep these worthless from the
face of the earth. He proposes TO punish
not only those who register bets, but also
the owners of property who allow such
premises to be used by the "bookies."
This Is his bill in full:
Every corporation, partnership, association,
society or person who keeps any room, shed,
tenement, tent, booth or building, or any part
thereof or who occupies any place upon any
public or private grounds within this State
with books, apparatus or paraphernalia for
the purpose OF recording or registering bets or
wagers or of selling pools, and any person who
records or regis ters bets or wagers, or sells
pools upon the result of any trial or contest of
skill, speed or power OF endurance of man or
beast, or upon the result of any political
nomination, appointment or election; or be-
ing the owner. agent, lessee or occupant of
any room, shed, tenement tent booth or
building, or any part thereof, or of private
grounds, knowingly permits the same to be
used or occupied for any OF the above-named
purposes, or therein keeps, exhibits or en-
ploys any device or apparatus for the purpose
of recording or registering such bets or wagers
or the selling of such pools, or becomes the
custodian or depositary for hire or reward OF
any money, property or thing of value stated,
wagered or pledged upon any such result,
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished accord
ingly.
1t has been looked for every day since
the beginning of the session. and those
interested are therefore fully prepared to
give it the reception they believe it de-
serves. The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Public Morals. It is signif-
cantly asserted that if the welfare of the
public morals was really tue incentive
that induced Senator Feeney to introduce
it he should have made it less radical.
Senator Mahoney introduced bill to-
Day which provides that any political
party which cast per cent of the vote at
ing election shall be entitled to
representation in the precinct boards OF
election.
Senator Hall introduced bill providing
for the establi shment of municipal hos
pital for diseases of the nervous system" "
in San Francisco. This is to be main
tanned for the treatment of dipsomaniacs
and morphine, opium and alcohol inebri-
ates, and is to be conducted in connection
with the House of Correction. Municipal
magistrates are given the right to commit
to the institution for not more than one
year, but the medical superintendent nay
discharge an inmate before the expiration
OF his term Of commitment, If he considers
him cured.

officials, was captured, and it is supposed
he was taken to Benin to be executed.
1t has been learned that Captain Bois-
ragou aad Mr.. Locke each had re volver,
and before they made their escape into
the bush thew shot several of the attack
ing party. When they got away from the
scene of the massacre they made their
way toward the river, subsisting as best
they could on cassava.
The only means they had of quenching
their thirst was to suck dew off the plants
at night. They finally reached the river,
procured canoe from some friendly Ia
lives and made their way to New Benin,
where they met a British launch. Had
they not procured the canoe il is doubtful
if they ever would have reached the coast.
The King has sent to the British the
rings that were worn by Mr.. Phillips.
This is regarded as an act OF defiance which
the King will soon have cause to regret.
Mr.. Powis was the agent of Millar Bros.
d Co. of Glasgow, and Mr.. Gordon repre-
sented the association OF Liverpool. Both
men have been on the coast as traders for
several years.

ELECTION CONTESTS.
Committees Nay let Be Compelled to
Count Ballots.

Committees May Iet Be Compelled to
Count Ballots.
SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 21.-There
was an extended session of the Senate
Committee on Elections :his afternoon in
the Senate cham Der, which drew large
and interested audience.
Martin Stevens appeared on behalf OF
Welch (R.), who is cortesting the seat of
Hall (D.). 1t was understood that all the
testimony and argument used in the case
of Tyrrell against Hall should apply to
the WEIGH Hall case. In addition to this,
Stevens claimed that Hall shall be un-
seated on the ground that he had violated
the purity of the election law by havir e
promised situation in the mint to a man
named Love.
Frank 81. Powers appeared to plead the
cause of Chandler against Feeney. He
stated that Feeney was life member Of
the San Fran cisco Fire Department, that
he lived in the engine-house where he was
employed, and which is located outside of
the district in which Feeney ran for Sena-
tor. and that consequently Feeney was
not eligible to election. Powers also
argued that the Senatorial nominations
HCTo afi hlcu Win thO lhOSASt.aA III a
bunch, and that consequently Feeney's,
being among the mum ber, was not law
fully registered. Finally he contended
that in the Twenty-ffth Senatorial Dis
trict about 180 illiterate voters had their
ballots marked by an outsider instead of a
member of the precinct election board.
This closed the hearing, and the COM
mittee adjourned to go into executive
session this evening to deliberate upon
these two cases and also that of Tyrrell
against Hall, heard last Tuesday night.
At this time it was question on the part
of the committee whether or not the
ballots in the Hall cases should be pro-
duced and canvassed. During the secret
session tonight it was decided that the
ballots should be made part of the testi-
mony.
While no definite conclusion was
reached N the Chandler Feeney contest
it was virtually decided that Feeney (D.)
would be allowed to retain his seat un-
less more direct testimony was produced
showing fraud or irregularity. Powers
will be given the opportunity to present
such testimony, if it is within his power
to do so.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-22

set for considering all matters pertaining
to irrigation and water rights, and there
was no dearth of material presented to the
committee.
Attorney Easton had a bill of about 1900
words prepared and submitted it. He ex-
planned that it was a measure providing
particularly for less onerous system of
redemption of lands forfeited by reason of
failure to pay irrigation district taxes. Its
salient features are that it extends the
time for redemption from one year to two
years, permits redemption as long as the
property remains in the hands OF the iTri-
cation district, and gives six months after
the passage of the proposed act for the re-
demptlon OF all property that has not been
sold to private persons. It also materially
reduces the penalties, interest, etc., to be
paid by the property-owner on redemp-
tion OF his land.
J. x. Ward of Modesto presented
measure designed to protect collectors OF
irrigation districts in the cases of taxes
paid under protest.
X. Perry Wright of San Francisco SUBJ
mitted long list OF suggestions for the
amendment of the Wright act. covering
every important feature of the bill that
had been found seriously defective by past
experience.
George H. Maxwell of San Francisco
spoke OF the unsatisfactory conditions
which he said prevailed in every irrigation
district, and suggested the appointment
OF commission to investigate the entire
matter.
E. j. Hazen of Turlock and I. M. Wood
also addressed the committee briefly.
1t was getting late and Senator Pedlar,
in order to simplify matters and at the
same time to check the food of suggestion,
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
RESOLVED, That joint committee Of nine
five from the Assembly and four from the
senate, including the chairman of the lrriga-
ton Committee OF each House-be appointed
by the chairman of the joint committee to con-
slder all amendments offered at this meeting
as well as all bills now pending in both houses
relating to the act known as the Wright law.
Said joint committee shall embody amend
ments and pending bills in one general bill as
lar as practicable and introduce said bill as
soon as prepared.
Chairman Androus announced the fol-
lowing as the joint sub com mittee: Sena-
tors Aram, Linder, Pedlar and Androus,
and Assemblymen Waymire, Melick,
Boone, Bridgford and Lindenberger.
When this subcommittee formulates
bill It will be submitted for approval to
the whole committee. which in turn will
report it in one of the houses.
Meanwhile, as the matter of redemption
is an urgent question which must be acted
upon before the first of February, the
Senate Committee on Irrigation to-day de-
cided to report favorably Bridgford's As
sembly bill providing for six months
extension of the time for redemption. TIE
Senate will be asked TO suspend the rules
and put the bill upon its final passage te-
morrow. There is no doubt that this
procedure will be followed. This measure
will therefore bear the distinction of being
the first TO be placed in the hands of the
Governor this session.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 21.-Assem-
blyman Leon E. Jones is one of the
quietest and most unobtrusive men on
the floor Of the Assembly, but he is an
industrious worker, who prefers quality to
quantity, and he does not propose to in
troduce many bills, but few good ones.
One of these is the teachers annuity
bill an amendment TO the existing law,
and providing that all teachers who wish
to partake of the benefits OF the pension
system would be required to join within
ninety days after the passage OF the act or
after they began teaching in the public
schools. The bill extends the opera tions
of the pension act to every county in the
State, so that after continuous service of
thirty years they may retire on pension
of $50 per month. Teachers when dis
apled in the discharge of their duty will
receive a epsion in proportion to the
length of time which they may have
served. Treasurers of the different coun-
ties are made custodians OF the fund.

viGes for the protection OF the business

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. Blake County,
Indiana, has been greatly stirred by the
shooting OF four farmers by the game
keepers of the Tolleston Gun Club Tues
day morning. In Hammond, Whiting,
Tolleston and Crown Point the farmers
gathered yesterday and threats were not
only freely made against the mon who
were concerned in the shooting but
a gainst the proprietors of the Gun Club
grounds as well. Threats of organizing to
"clean OUT the gamekee pers, sack the
property and blow up the clubhouse were
not infrequent.
Up 10 6 O'Clock last night none of the
men injured in the shooting OF Monday
had died, but the doctors said that Cos
tick, the farmland who was shot through
the lung with rife ball. had no chance
OF recovery, and they also gave it as their
opinion that Pratt, who received two
charges of shot in his legs, would not re-
cover. The four game wardens are in Jail
at present and an additional guard has
been stationed there to prevent possible

tional financial burden upon the State, as

these ignorant men were the cause Of
the trouble.
Their importation by operators has

These foreigners are not primarily TO

The remedy lies in shutting out cheap
labor. II cheap goods are shut out to
