FINED FOR PoACHING. Oakland Merchant Prosecuted by the
 Cordelia C1ub

SUISUN, Dec. 12-Several hours were taken up in the Superior Court at Fair field tc day in hearing the testimony In the pro.eedingss against Robert Boyer, the Oakland merchant, for contempt of court. A number of local sportsmen were pres ent. J. N. Young of San Francisco and o. R. Coghlan of this place appeared for the Cordelia Club and District Attorney F. R. Devin for Boyer.
 An injunction was issued and finally made perpetual two years ago, prohibit ing hunting on the Chamberlain tract of 5000 acres of tule land near Teal station. Boyer was one of the defendants in that action and was served with the injunction.
 From the evidence to-day 1t appears that Boyer was found hunting on the tract on November 22 of this year. He claimed he did not know he was on forbid den ground. The court found him guilty of having violated the injunction, but said as there was some question as to his hav- ing done so willfully, and as this was the first violation of its mandate, he would be lenfent, but for any future violation he would be more. severe. He thereupon fined Boyer $10, which fine was paid
 Captain Chittenden, keeper of the pre- serves, threatened to whip Boyer after court adjourned. For few minutes it looked as though the courthouse would be the scene of slugging match. Under SheriH Robinson interfered before blows were struck

UNCLE SAM'S RIGHTS IN
 THE SAMOAN GROUP
Will Not Be Overlooked, Particularly in the Event of the Opening of
 an Isthmian Canal.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-The Govern ment is not aware that any arrangement has been made for the transfer of the title of the Samoan Islands to Germany, and
 being one of the parties to the tripartite agreement under which Samoa is now governed, it is not conceivable that any change can be made in the status without the consent of the United States. The European publication intimating that Ger many had acquired sole rights in the Sa- moan group Is recognized as a diplomatic feeler, being another of the attempts which have been made at intervals of three months for the past two or three years to ascertain how a change in the established order as to Samoa would be re- ceived in the United States The workings of the trfpartite agreement, 1t is frankly acknowledged, have not been entirely sat lsfactory to any one of the three parties
 the United States. Great Britain and Ger many, but our Government sees no fea- sible method yet of bringing about more desirable arrangement. This being the case, and the importance of the islands as a port of call for American shipping promising to become greatly increased in the event of the opening of an isthmian canal, the Government of the United states will not consent to relinquish any of its rights. -'

PROPOSED GOVERNMENT
 OF THE PHILIPPINES

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: There is reason to believe the subject of the government of the Phil ippines will be carefully considered at to-morrows meeting of the Cabinet. The proclamation it is proposed to send to General Otis for issuance has prac- tically been completed and will be laid before the President, it is expected, by Secretary Hay. The proclamation is similar to that published by General Wood when this Government first as- sumed control at Santiago de Cuba. It will urge the inhabitants of the Philip pines to return to peaceful pursuits and will promise them local participation in Philippine affairs, with the promise of eventual self-government under the jurisdiction of the United States.
 The proclamation, 1t is expected, will have a beneficial effect upon the insur- gents and will induce them to yield to General Otis wishes and disband. General Otis cabled to the War Depart ment several days ago that he was able to cope with the situation, but sug gested that additional regulars be sent to him. Secretary Alger told me to- night that that message and all pre- vious dispatches from the military commander failed to show that the rebel forces were opposed to American rule He, as we'll as other members of the Cabinet, are confident that when the Filipinos understand the purpose of the United States respecting them and their islands they will be satisfied with the character of the Government to be given them.
 So far as the formation of mixed regiments of natives and Americans is concerned the President would be quite willing to form such regiments, but he has no authority of law for do- ing so.
 There is reason to believe the admin istration will earnestly advocate the passage of a law giving authority to the President to enlist the natives of the Philippines.

MANILA, Dec. 12.-I have made an investigation of the Philippine problem now before the United States, and the consideration of which demands prompt solution. According to my in structions I have endeavored to ascer- tain not only the feelings of the Filt- pinos toward Americans, but also the opinions of military and naval officers here as to what regimen in their opln- ion ought to be established. In com pany with several agents I have visited provinces, and have had exceptional facilities for forming judgment as to the wants of the people.
 We found the rebel forces, which are well armed, and largely composed of the lowest type of Filipinos, opposed to American rule, and, indeed, to any form of legitimate government. The better class of the people in the insur- gent ranks, who have been forced to en- list. are discontented at the small pay and short rations.
 After a comprehensive glance over the whole situation, l am convinced It is impossible to recognize the native re- public.
 Thousands of the peacefully disposed among the Filipinos are disgusted ana request that Aguinaldo be compelled to withdraw his forces from the towns, where they live by pillage.
 In addition the natives of the prov inces are made to sell their produce to rebel officers at exceedingly low prices and are heavily taxed into the bargain.
 1 am not at liberty to mention names, but both in the military and naval circles in the American force here 1t is said that a decisive blow ought to be struck, and American rule ought to be established gradually and firmly and mixed regiments of natives and Americans ought to be formed in those provinces whence the principal food supply is derived. Twenty-Five thou sand men with modern artillery would be sufficient to disband the rebel army after which opposition here and in dis tant provinces would be of small inn portance and easily dealt with. The people want peace and honest rulers.
 This is admitted privately, though there is but little use in talking to the natives It is the. opinion here that the United States should act with de- cision and determination.
 Iloilo is still closely besieged, and the Spanish artillery makes havoc in the rebel ranks. I managed to pass through the Spanish lines and spoke with insurgent officers. Some favor the United States, while others support

 LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.-Congressman Brigham H. Roberts of Utah Is reported 10 have three wives, and the Methodist ministers of Los Angeles are therefore indignant at the prospect that he may be allowed to take his seat among the Con- gressmen of the United States. The mat fer was brought up and thoroughly dis cussed at a meeting of the ministers held this morning.
 Rev. William Knighten made stirring speech, in which he declared that Mor- mons had teachers even in this city who were seeking to spread their religion and who were winning many to the doctrine they preached. Rev. c. F. Dandy said that as polygamy had been declared il- legal in the United States this man had no right to be in Congress.
 It was decided to appoint committee, composed of officers of the association, to draft proper resolutions. II approved by

EXTRA SALARIES
COUNCIL GRANTS INCREASES IN
TWO INSTANCES
Other Deputies Who Got Left Feel
They Were Victims of Rather
Cold Deal

| Several weeks ago Assistant City Engineer
| George King submitted tN the city council
demand for $50 extra salary in consequence
of his being called upon to perform an un
usual amount OF labor. The demand was de-
MED on the ground, as stated by one of the
councilmen at the time, that it would be a
dangerous precedent to establish. Subse.
quently, however, the demand was increased
to $50, and under the recommendation OF
the finance committee went through without
further discussion.
That this action did undoubted
lish precedent is shown in the fact that
yesterday Second Assistant City Attorney
r. j. Thomas filed similar demand, bear
ing the endorsement OF his chief, W. E.
Dunn. The voucher calls for SlOO, the same
being extra salary for the months of July,
August, September and October. The argu-
ment advanced in justice of the claim would
probably be that during the months in ques-
tion a large amount of extra work devolved
upon Mr.. Thomas in consequence of Mr..
Dunn's entire time being employed with the
water litigation and politics. At the time
the annua! estimate was up for considera-
ton several members of the council favored
increasing the salaries of the second assist
ant in the attorneys office and the CHIEF
deputy in the engineers office because the
positions required persons with professional
and technical knowledge.
In order to be consistent, however, their
increases were cut off with others which
were considered less Just The allowance of

and Mr.. Thomas $40. The extra allowance
to each will continue to be S25 per month

Federal Court Notes

The Tulare county water case was still on
trial yesterday in the United States circuit
court before Judge Wellborn, with no imme-
date prospect of conclusion.
Chow Gum Ying, the little Chinese woman,
was before Commissioner Van Dyke again
yesterday, and her case was once more taken
under advisement. Chow is a very small
specimen of Chinese humanity, probably II
years old, who regarded the proceedings
with stolid indifference. The only anima'
ton Chow manifested was when she was
taken on the street car back to the county
Jail. Chow claims to be the wife of a mer
chant, and the point at issue is whether the
man she claims to be married to is mer
chant. If so, she takes the status of hel
husband and can remain in the United
States.
