BONDHOLDERS
 WIN A VICTORY
The Supreme Court Reaffirnns It's Decision in the Sacra-
 mento Case.
A Case Which Involves the Question of Bonds Bearing Interest
 After Maturity.

The Supreme Court handed down a decision yesterday in which bare ma 1or1ty of Justices reaffirmed a former decision by the same court on the 9th Of June, 1896. The decision affects cer- tain bondholders who hold the bonds Of the City of Sacramento issued by authority of the Legislature in 1858, maturing in 1888, and bearing a cer- tain rate of interest, as provided in the act of authorization. The question at issue is whether the bonds should cease to carry interest after date ,,f maturity or not.
 The case at bar was commenced in Sacramento by w. S. Kendall against the Treasurer of that city, and the treasurer entered a demurrer, which was sustained by the Judge of the Su- perlor Court. From this position E. s. Pillsbury, San Francisco attorney, LOOK an appeal to the Supreme Court. The court in June, 1896, sustained the position taken by MT. PillSbury. In this decision, which was written by Justice Henshaw and cOncurred in by Justices Garoutte, Temple and Harri- son, the Judge of the Sacramento court was instructed to vacate his order sustaining the Tresurer's demur- Ter and have him put his answer in, thus permitting the case to proceed to trial on it's merits.
 The City of Sacramento then applied for rehearing of the case in bank This petition was granted and the case was heard second time by the Judges of the Supreme Court, with a precisely similar result. The concurring opinion simply said for the same reasons as given in the decision of June g. 1896 the case is sent back with instructions to the trial court to vacate it's previous order and permit the Treasurer to an swer"
 Justice Mcfarland simply quotes his dissenting opinion as written by him on the former decision, while Chief Justice Beatty devotes several pages

nority report, recommending the en- ployment of an engineer, had prece- dence
 Before you proceed, gentlemen" !" said Attorney Kellogg, Engineer Schussler would like to make brief statement
 "I think the board thoroughly under stands everything" said Dodge, but l will not offer any objection to grant ing Engineer Schussler the privilege of a statement"
 SchusSler said that 1t was year ago instead of a few months ago when he announced that the company had an ample supply of water to furnish the city, in the event of there being two or three dry winters. We still have enough water" he added, for there is 1,4OO,00O,OOO gallons in the Crystal Springs reservoir. It is the upper res ervoirs that supply the Western Addi- tion that are nearly depleted. Then the request for $900,000 has not been clearly explained. Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars of the sum is wanted for a new pipe line from San Andreas, as the one in use is about worn out; $200, 900 for extending mains in the city in the outlying districts and $320.000 for new pumping stations to get water into the reservoirs on the upper levels"
 Don't you think that under the ex isting rates you can set aside enough for all that Work?" asked Supervisor Smith.
 T don't think so."
 II think that an engineer should be appointed to look into the pumping station question: said Dodge. "The Western Addition is building up rap- idly and more water is required there. In addition there has been great waste of water. I don't think it fair to say to the water company that we don't believe the statement that addl- tional pumping stations are required" ,"
 q shall vote to give every one fair chance" said Dr. RottanZi, and l hope the minority report will prevail.
 A vote was taken and the minority report lost, Dodge, Lackmann, Rottan- Zi and Clinton alone voting for 1t.
 The majority report, in so far as it related to denying the request for pumping stations, was carried without discussion.
 The matter of adopting the Haskins order was then taken up for considera- tion.
 Supervisor Dodge said he wished to introduce an amendatory resolution and schedule, whereby at least SIPS, 900 could be saved to the city after giving the water company all 1t asked for.
 Britt was opposed to any schedule be- ing introduced at that time. He said that the adoption of the report would not fix the rates. That would have to be considered afterward.

Statements Of a Letter Received From Well-known
 Mining Expert.
Poverty and Hunger the Lot of Many Residents of the Arctic
 City.

A recent letter from Dawson City cells or dire famine, and it seems that the relief expedition will be of very lit tie use unless it shall arrive in Dawson by the middle of the present month.
 Professor Price, the welI-known as- saver of this city, has received a letter from Augustus J. Bowie, an authority on hydraulic mining, now in Dawson for New York syndicate, which fully describes the situation there. The let ter is dated December 3. In it Bowie says:
 Note the hour and the temperature 2:50 p. m. and % degrees below zero I have just returned from 8 trip up the Yukon to the Klondike, only mile above sun for to-day. The mines arc all frozen and we are enjoying the pleasures of an Arctic winter with none of the comforts of civilization. Our means of transport are nominally by dog sleds, but should you for one moment think that you would enjoy a sled ride of this kind you would be sadly mistaken. 4 trip with dogs up here means going on shank $ mare" If you ride you are thrown out by an upset, or get out because you find yourself on the point of freezing stiff with possibility of leaving one of your extremities in the sled.
 One thing is fortunate-we are not 4Toubled with a wind of any kind, so that as a matter of fact I do not feel even 10 degrees below zero here as much as l did some of the cold days in San Francisco.

 The local councils of the order will on the evening of the 22d inst. celebrate the day by an entertainment and ball in Odd Fellows Hall, and in this they will De assisted by the councils of the Daughters of Liberty The committee on entertain ment. consisting of Messrs.

town who earns a scanty living by mak- ing fur caps was sitting in her cabin sew ing with her feet resting under a Yukon stove Ca mere sheetiron box. Not oeins a capitalist. she had only green wood to burn. and not much of that. This kind of wood gives out very little heat, and when the poor creature tried to arise from her seat, she found that both feet had been frozen as far as the ankles. Needless to say, she had to have them both ampu- tated.
 Some large sales have been made here to Eastern parties, $324 900 having been paid for three claims on Bonanza Creek and SPA, 900 for two others. Twenty have been bought on Fl Dorado Creek for $lOO,- GOO. Sulphur and Dominion creeks now offer the best advantage for money. The yield of all the claims wtll think, be less than last year, as there are no supplies here for labor or materials to work with And the famine Is sure to kill off many laborers If I do not starye to death shall be very lucky.

70 per cent on householder rates. These calculations are made from the com pany's figures and I challenge anyone to prove that they are incorrect. If we adopt the Haskins order as it now stands we will violate our pledges to the people by giving the company over per cent interest on the investment. They can pay interest at 6 per cent on $9OO,OOO they claim they require and still have an excess of $SS, ,50O."
 From these figures said Dr. Rot tanzf, Tit can be easily seen that the company can pay 6 per cent and still have balance of nearly $1O,0OO at the end of the year. Then we have not taken into consideration the rental that will come from the company's old building on California street"
 Have the company officials any questions to ask me?" asked Dr. Dodge
 Schussler and Kellogg remained s- lent.
 ''The company admits the correct ness of my figures by its silence" add ed pr. Dodge. "I now move that the new schedule be based on the Haskins order, with 10 per cent cut in meters and 20per centon householder rates. In order that the members may have time to consider the matter I move a recess until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon
 Sheehan objected to a recess and Dodge withdrew his motion. T don't see how any member can vote for the Haskins order in the face of these fig ures," added Dodge, "and keep his pledge to the people. If the board re- fuses to accept my order a serious mis- take will be made and the members placed in bad light. I now move that my order take the place of the Haskins order in the report of the Water Com- mittee."
 Lackmann seconded the motion
 Dr. RottanZi offered as a substitute measure an order providing for a 10 per cent cut in meter rates and that hydrant rates be reduced from $5 to $2 50. "A schedule of this character. '' said he, will mean a reduction of S150,000.'
 Dr. Clinton then took the floor after calling pr. Dodge to the chair. 'I de- sire to introduce,' said he, "the sched- ule I presented last year making a clean cut all around of 20 per cent. l know that it is useless to waste time in argument, for I regret to see that most of the members have made LID their minds. The figures presented by Dr. Dodge show that if the Haskins order is again adopted it means nothing more and nothing less than a present of s150,O00 to the Spring Valley Water Company. Any one of the last three measures introduced will give the pledges. My schedule will give the com pany per cent interest, and as 1t had per cent last year it will amount to
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-15

an average of per cent and peI cent is what we promised the people we would give"
 The Clinton order was then taken up and defeated by the following vote:
 AyeS-Clinton, Dodge Rottanzi Lack mann; noes-Devany, Haskins, Della ny, Sheehan, Morton, Britt Smith and Rivers.
 "The memebers are putting them selves in an unenviable light" said Dodge, warningly, ''by giving the com pany more than it asks
 '"The Haskins schedule has been in operation for going on eight months" any serious opposition to it. It is bet ter to stick to it than try new experi- ments'
 vote was taken on the Rottanzi or der, and it was defeated by the same vote as the Clinton schedule.
 Tt is wrong, gentlemen" said Clin- ton, ito present the Spring Valley Wa ter Company with $150, 000."
 The solid eight paid no heed to his remarks, for they promptly voted down the Dodge order.
 T move that the report of the com- mittee recommending the Haskins or der be adopted, ( said Sheehan.
 We had better take an adjournment until 2:30 o'clock" suggested Clinton, III the nope that some OI the I1eHlDeTS may experience a change of heart"
 We don't want any recess" said Britt. We can soon finish up the busi- ness"
 The report was adopted by the same vote as before, and Britt moved that the Haskins schedule be adopted for the fiscal year 1S9S-99.
 Let us postpone action until the reg ular netting of the board next week. The Supreme Court may in the mean time decide that we are not legally in office" said Clinton.
 T have stood all the abuse I am go- ing to stand from the press" said Britt, and l am prepared to vote. I move that we rise as committee of the whole and report back to the board"
 Clinton Dodge, Lackmann and Rot tanzi, seeing that the eight had their minds fixed, gave up the battle.
 The committee reported to the board and Britt moved that the Haskins schedule be adopted.
 Can we do so?" asked Dodge. Should the matter not be taken up at the regular meeting?"
 Clerk Russell was appealed to on the legal point.
