w. S. Stratton, the millionaire owner OF
the independence mine and largely inter-
ested in the Portland mine, both OF Grip
pie Creek, is at the Baldwin. He has come
" est in company with his sister, Mrs. j..
S. Cobb of San Jose, who has until lately
been visiting him at his home in Colorado
Springs. Mr.. Stratton has come here
very largely for pleasure and the length
of his stay is indefinite. He visited this
State several months ago for short time,
but did not, as he said yesterday, visit any
of the mining camps or make any invest
ments. Among his callers a: the hotel

the treatment of ores; know the people
and know now 10 60 about things. There

templated making any investments in any
other part of the country. Times are

Cripple Creek is mining regularly
about million dollars worth of ore per
month. That's good deal for a little

and four miles square, and new place.
too so that, altogether, think it is doing

Business in the town is rather over
done, and it is quiet there on that ac-
count. During the boom a great many
different kinds of business were started.
and now since things have settled down
to a steady basis business men are not
| doing as much as formerly. Colorado
! Springs has been very lively. 1t was es-
pecially so during the period when stocks
! were very active.
THAT feature, however, ran wild, and
now that it is off things have settled
down there some. Denver IS quiet yet,
too. A great many of the buildings there
were built by loan and trust companies
and when the time came that the men for
whom they were built could not pay the
| companies had to take the buildings.
| That's about the way things are going
there. The difficulty is not over YET.

companies. Entire liquid alton will have

of the consecration services which are to
be held on the ship and dock. The public
is cordially invited TO attend these services
which begin at 2 o'clock and 10 see the
ship start away on her unique and merci-
full mission.
Her sailing will be something new in
the history Of San Francisco and perhaps
no one in the City will soon have q chance
10 witness such another exhibition OF in
ternational charity; for it is 10 be hoped
that there will not soon again be occasion
so great and urgent for extending a help
ing hand 10 suffering people across the
sea. The relief committee and the Com
missioner, Rev. DR.. Hobbs, will be glad to
receive at the ship during the forenoon
any contributions of grain which chari-
tably disposed people may wish 10 make.
II any wish TO take such grain to the
ship themselves, they can take the sacks
TO the steamer and see them stored away
in the hold for the long voyage.

large claims against the estate of Mrs.
Miranda w. Lux, who was the rellct of
his former partner.
The first claim is for the sum of $146,-
sos 03 on account of money advanced to
Mrs. Lux during her lifetime and for cash
furnished to help carry on her part of the
business of the firm.
The second claim is based on promis-
sorry note signed by Mrs. Lux and her
associates in certain business transactions
for the sum of $50, 332 76, making a total
of $2l9 l40 10.
These claims were offered to the Probate
Court by Eugene r. CARRIER and were ap-
proved by Judge Coffey for the full
amount called for. The settlement of the
entire business of the old firm of Miller &
Lux is being carried on as rapidly as pos
sible, a corporation for that sole purpose
having been incorporated recently.

The Golden Gate News has the follow

tian Endeavorers:
In order that the hundred or more societies
in Alameda County and Golden Gate unions
shou Id all have an interest in the care and en-
tertainment of the various State delegations
at their headquarters in the Mechanics Pa
vllion they were arranged in groups, and
certain ate delegations were assigned TO
them, and where such assignments were
made the headquarters OF these States
adjoin ana enter into each other; and
since these assignments were made the va
rious groups OF societies have met together and
planned for the entertainment of their guests
and many have assumed that the same States
grouped in he Pavilion together under the
care of group OF societies would hold their
State rallies Saturday night In the church to
which the society belongs, first named on
each list; but Secretary Baer has arranged
State rallies in groups of States by geographic
cal iocation-in all fourteen groups-and
rather than disturb the plans already made for
entertainment at the Pavilion the hall aud re-
ception committees, In joint meeting, con-
clUded to allow the previous assignments atthe
Pavilion to remain undisturbed, and make
new assignments of ates for State rallies and
receptions on Saturday night, as sent by Sec
retary Baer. In this way group OF societies
will entertain certa in States during the time
of the convention in the Pavilion and on Sat-
urday night Will have other States as their
guests in the church first named upon their
list.
As before stated, we believe this arrange
ment will give added pleasure TO US and to our

j. H. Freese Arrested for Shooting at a
Barkeeper.


Barkeeper.
J. II. Freese, grocer, is of the opinion
that 10 cents is a trihe too high a price
for glass of liquor. So firmly is he con-
vinced that he IS correct in his belief he
fired two shots at Barkeeper Charles
HaIander, who dared TO differ with HIM
in the Holger Danske saloon. at the corner
of Kearny and Pacific streets early yes
terday morning.
Freese entered the saloon about O'CLOCK
in the morning, and invited female fre-
quenter of the resort to join him in a
drink. She accepted and ordered liquor
Freese took beer, and tossed the harkee per
a dime in payment for the "duet of
howIs." as he called the drinks. Haian-
der demanded another nickel, and when
it WAS not forthcoming started around the
bar after the offending grocer.
Freese then drew a revolver and fired
two shots at the barkeeper. Bot shots
missed and before the grocer could again
manipulate his revolver he was seized by
Officers Cavanaugh anc Mcmahon and
Special Bulge. He was booked at the
California-street station on charge of
assault TO murder. Yesterday aftern DON
he was released on bonds.

An Amendment to the Constitution as
Remedy.
There are some interesting legal prob
lens arising apropos of the Durrant and
Worden cases, which have attracted pub
lie attention to the defects in the habeas
corpus law.
On January II, 1891. Senator Vest of
Missouri introduced a bill in the United
States Senate to amend the law so as to
cut short the right of appeal in habeas
corpus cases. He said in a speech on the
subject that he introduced the bill at the
request of a New York friend, though in
clned TO believe it useless
Speaking Of the matter yesterday At
torney Charles A. Garter said: 1.-THE
only way by which this law can ever be
CHANGED is to amend the constitution of
the Uniteo States so as to give the States
absolute control in habeas corpus. or, at
least, to stop appeals with the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals. That Is
the opinion of many lawyers who have
studied the problem"
