ALL THE TRUTH
 WILL NOW BE TOLD
Examination of the Case Against the Railroad
 Commissioners
Collis P. Huntington Cited to Appear Before Judge Heacock to Testify
 to All the Facts.

| For several days the attempt to induce | c. P. Huntington to tell something of | Southern Pacific affairs has been in prog | ress before the Railroad Commission No | success has been attained there so far as anybody has been able to notice. Now
 MT. Huntington Is to be given another chance. There is some curiosity to know whether he will be so frank and open be- fore the second tribunal.
 MT. Huntington has been subpenaed to appear next Monday and tell all he knows concerning these delicate matters There is a hope that during the course of in- qufry he will he requested to reveal the whole truth concerning the charge that
 his company has devoted certain sums for corrupting certain papers, of which
 the Examiner of this city is suspected of
 being a sample. In fact it is expected the president of the Southern Pacific will be asked right out in meetin' if he ever paid that publication 5000 a month also why. It may also be determined if he paid it $7O00 for printing Creed Haymond's speech and $5000 for the purpose of in- ducing it to maintain dignified and non- commtttal attitude while the Pattison committee was at work.
 Judge Heacock yesterday morning be- gan taking testimony in the case of the Southern Pacific Company vs. the Rail- road Commissioners of the State of Cali fornia. A week ago United States Cir cult Judge Morrow decided that all evil railroad company for lobbying and for the subsidiZing of so-called antf-monopoly newspapers was admissible and Commits sioner Heacock is taking the testimony on those lines.
 There appeared for the. railroad com pany yesterday John Garber J. E. | Foulds and E. s. PilIsbury. On behalf of the Railroad Commissioners Attorney General Fitzgerald and Deputy Anderson were present.
 The only witness examined was George T. Klink, auditor of the disbursement de- | partment of the railroad company He | told about the amounts of the different l mortgages upon the roads, and stated his i willingness to furnish the complete de- | tails next Monday morning at haIf-past | 10 o'clock.

LIABILITY OF
 TOWBOATS
Mate Pederson Cannot Recover From the Vigilant'S
 Owners.
Tho Schooner Danielson Should Have Followed the Tug Better
 Than She Did.

An interesting case, involving the l1a- bility of towboat owners. was decided by the Circuit Court of Appeals, when they held that Louis A. Pederson was not entitled to damages from the John D. Spreckels & Bros. Company for a broken leg. He was injured on board the schoon- CT $. Danielson in Santa Barbara Cham nel on December 1, 1894, while the snip was in tow of the tug Vig1lant.
 The tug had been passed a line, one eno of which had been brought through the breast chock, and from there was led to the '-pawI bit," where it was made fast.
 The ship had been under tow for about twenty minutes when the chock broke, and Pederson, who was parceling the line near the chock, was thrown against the capstan so violently that his leg was broken and he was otherwise injured. He alleging that the tug had not been skill fully handled, and that 1t was towing too last. The decision was against him in the lower court. and the Court of Appeals has affirmed that ruling. Pederson was sec ond mate of the ship
 In deciding the case the court declares that the tug was properly handled and that the rate she was going was a safe one for towing. Testimony was quoted to snow that the line was fastened to the wrong bit, and had it been passed farther art, so as to tow in a straight line, the chock would not have carried away.
 It was also held that the vessel lowed must keep in the wake of the tug towing showed had not been done The com plainant must prove negligence on the i part of the tug, the court alleges, and this had not been done. In fact, the court announced as it's opinion that the acci- | dent was caused by the negligence of the mate.

The Passion Play.

The Passion Play' continues success fully at the Baldwin every afternoon, be- ing displayed before the gaze of spec tators that have grown steadily in size since the initial presentation. The per lection of the animated pictures thrown upon the screen is such that not the least important feature of the great produc- tion, as it is given at Oberammergau every ten years, is missed and a person sees the various characters full of life, scenes of action and passing incidents in a most impressive manner. One of the scenes of the play that is particularly fine represents the placing of the crown of thorns upon Christs head. Then the brutal guards press the cruel thing down upon the victims head until as is most plainly seen, he falls forward in agony, only to be dragged along by the crowd. The Passion Play is to be continued Sunday, Saturday excepted, at o'clock

respond when Woods called on her in the run home and was led past the tape more than a length by Hildreth's good colt. La Goleta ran so well that she will bear watching in her future races.
 In her last two races Aprona has done nothing to warrant her having an out side chance in a bronco busting contest, and was allowed to go to the post at odds of 15 to 1 in the opening five furlong dash for maidens With Rufus Narvaez up she led all the way, and in hard drive got the decision from the fayorite, Rosa, by a short head. Flandes came fast the last part and was placed third, although 1t looked as if Rose Maid finished in that position.
 Joe Mussle downed a bad lot in the seven furlong run next decided. He ruled a slight favorite over Millbrae in the bet ting and won by half a dozen lengths.
 The finale to the four furlong scramble for two-year-olds was a smashing good one. resulting in victory for the Burns X Warehouse entry, Banewor, piloted by Johnny Woods. Canace was to , choice throughout the betting. Banewor broke first, but was almost immediately When the scratch was reached McNich- ols had the first choice in front, but fool ishly drew his whip. Woods then passed him on the outside with Banewor, win ming cleverly at the wire by less than a length, and he also was nosed out for the. place by oWyhee, astride which Pig SOIt put up d great rue.
 The mile and furlong was pickup for the to 10 favorite, San Marco. Piggott had the chestnut horse in front when the stretch was reached, and won galloping from the hard ridden Claudius. Metaire, at 40 to 1. dropped into the show.
 In the final six furlong sprint the to choice Zamar, was beaten through the stupid riding of Llawson. With the race well in hand in the stretch, he came down the center of the track, which gave Me Donald, on the 30 to shot, Miss Ross, an opportunity to slip up on the inside and win cleverly by over a length. Perry got the 40 to 1 chance, imp. Mistral, home in ha show

PURE FOOD CAMPAIGN.
It Is to Be Waged With Moro Vigor
 Than Ever Before.

James F. Dockery, chief food inspector, inaugurated new campaign against the dealers in impure foods and milk yester- day. A Hull in the fight for pure food was caused by misapprehension of the re- cent decision in the Superior Court. Now that it is known that the pure food law is valid, and that 1t was only insufficiency of evidence that prevented a conviction in the case tried, Inspector Cookery pro poses to wage a vigorous war on all who handle adulterated articles.
 About twelve inspectors will be put in the field Some will look after foods and others after milk. Arrests will be made of all who sell adulterated or impure food. Samples of all kinds of articles will be be given the milkmen It is probable that a raid will be made tonight on some of the milk wagons

 This is Greggains' opportunity to make or break. If he will be directed by the advice of political sports then his career as referee and that of an honorable man will end a2d further more a bad decision will certainly sound the death-knell of pugilism in this city.
 Dan Lynch, although seemingly talk ing not the least interest in this con- test, has been closeted with political men who are in a position to kill or elevate pugilism In this city.
 Sufficient to say, however that if an- other Fitsimmons-Sh -Sharkey episode will result then the sport of pugilism will receive its well merited downfall for all time.

Agitator Kidney Dead.

William Kidney, an old-time local poli- tician and self-constituted agitator, died at the City and County Hospital yester- day afternoon. Kidney was arrested on Tuesday for drunkenness. and when taken to the Central Station showed symptoms of illness which brought about his re- moval to the Receiving Hospital. From County Hospital, where he died. His ill., ness was caused, it is said, by exposure. Kidneys first appearance in the political days of Denis Kearney. In some things he was we'll informed, but his peculiar method of imparting his information made him an unwelcome orator on the political rOStrum.

The Actors Fund.

At meeting of the board of trustees of the Actors Fund of America, held ir New York a few days since. the Aldrich percentage plan was adopted as the best plan that could be devised for the pur- pose of keeping the treasury of the fund in such condition as to meet the con- stant drain. After the plan was adopted circular, stating the many worthy fea- lures of the fund, and a pledge to be signed by the various managers and actors throughout the country was sent out, reading as follows:
 Actors Fund of America-To the Board of Trustees: We pledge ourselves neither to give our theaters without charge, our services as managers actors for any benefits lex cept in case of national calamity local pub lie dtsaster) unless the recipients of said bene- fits shall agree to turn over 121a per cent of the gross receipts thereof to the Actors Fund of America to assist in it's philanthropic work of caring for the sick and dead of the theatrical profession.
 The above pledge has been duly re- ceived and signed by the firm of Freid- lander, Gottlob & Co.

and Sharkey are equally confident of victory the strangest feature in con- nection with the much looked for con- test between two marvelously able fel- lows is that the sports who are sup posed to know a thing or two" about pugilistic contests are about equally di- vided in their opinions.
 The only line that can be taken as an evidence of the sincerity of the con- testants to fight for the honor and emoluments at stake is the betting. Jeffries, who certainly should command the lead in the betting, with all things considered, sold a strong favorite from the time any wagering had been in- dulged in up to last evening, when a marked change took place. For the past week Sharkey was the under dog that is so far as the gambling end of the game is concerned.
 He figured for a time as low as $7 when Jeffries sold freely at $10, but even at these figures the Sharkey men did not flood the market. In fact, very few bets were registered.
 Yesterday the Sharkev end took sudden jump in the ascendency, and several large commissions were re- ceived at Crowley & Raggett's and at Corbett's pooirooms to be placed in of betting changed immediately, and Sharkey, boosted by his supporters, ran from to 10 to even money, and at these figures the booksellers had large wads of Sharkey money when they closed shop.
 Doubtless the Oakland sports will re- ply to-day with a large bag of coin, which may alter the order of betting somewhat and place Jeffries on the long end
 Notwithstanding the fact that even money was offered last evening in the auction pools, Jeffries sold a strong fa- vorite in the paris mutuels as the fol- lowing table will attest, viz:

CAME BIRDS
 FOR CALIFORNIA
MonGolian Pheasants to Be I'm ported and Liberated in
 the State.
Streams Well Stocked With Trou and the Fish Hate cries Boun-
 tifully Supplied.

At the meeting of the State Fish and Game Commissioners, held yesterday the subject of more extensively stocking the State with Mongolian pheasants was dis cussed at length. Some time ago the Commissioners sent to Oregon for a lot of these beautiful game birds, and many of those from the northern State were liberated in the most favorable valleys of California However, the supply was not equal to the requirements, and the Com missioners decided that greater efforts should be made in this direction. Inquiry was made through w. F. Russell of the North Pacific Coast Railroad Company as to what the cost would be of getting the birds direct from China, and a corre- spondent in Shanghai showed that they could be landed in this city at a cost of only S2 50 per pair, whereas it costs all of s4 50 per pair to get the pheasants from Oregon.
 Upon this showing the Commissioners decided to import about 100 pairs of birds as an experiment from China. If they reach this port without much loss in num- bers and in good condition it is likely that a goodly number will be brought here so that the entire State can be stocked. At the present time pheasants are fully pro- tected by law. Chief Deputy Babcock was instructed to make an investigation as to the freight rates on the proposed shipments of this kind of game.
 
 trout hatcherieS, all of which were of the most encouraging nature. At the Shovel Creek station the take of trout eggs has been 750, GOO so far and the run of fish is still fair Superintendent E. w. Hunt of the Tahoe hatchery states that three and half million eggs have been taken. Ow- ing to the scarcity of water it has been decided that as soon as the number of the take reaches four million eggs this work will be stopped. The increase in the take this year over that of all other years Is attributed to the fact that Placer and Fl Dorado counties have passed local laws which prohibited the taking of trout un- til June l, or two months longer season than in the other counties of the State. The State fish patrol is still on duty on the lake and streams leading to it, and Placer County has helped greatly by fur nishing county patrol.
 This policing of the trout waters has prevented the Indians from destroying large quantities of fish, as they usually do with spears and nets In fact, the Indians have been driven away from these waters altogether. Another important movement the Com misSiOnerS decided upon was the resump- ton of the work of stocking the streams of the State with black bass. Deputies i Wilson and Cross will start out on this l work at once and place these fish in all of the available streams where they will | have any chance of living.
