BIRTHDAY PRESENT
 OF TEN MILLIONS
Fortune Frank Gould Receives on Reaching His Twenty-First
 Yaar

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Ten million dollars came into the possession of Frank Jay Gould to-day. He is the youngest child of the late Jay Gould, and this was l'- twenty-first birthday. Frank Gould Is modest. hard work ing, studious young man who thor oughly understands the railroad busi- ness and may be found any day plod- ding away at the offices of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. He is said to be very capable and to be we'll able to handle his big fortune. Neverthe- less, it is said that the fortune is left in trust and that he Is only allowed to spend the income that shall accumu- late in the future.
 In receiving only the income of his inheritance, Frank Gould is in the same position as his brothers and sisters Their father did not allow any of them to get absolute possession of his or her share of the estate. He divided his vast fortune of about s70.000 900 into six parts and left to each of his six children part. Each gets an income from his or her part, but the capital remains in control of all as trustees.
 Frank Gould's fortune is mainly in- vested in railroad and telegraph stocks and bonds.

CONGRESSMEN
 LIKE THE MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Presi- dents message was favorably com mented upon by all Californians in Congress, including Representative De Vries D). Senator Perkins said:
 From a cursory examination and reading I was most favorably im- pressed with the document. It was a plain, straightforward statement of the executive department affairs. The President did not seek to dictate to Congress like his predecessors, but gave them much information, at the same time delicately conveying his own opin- ions as to future legislation, which he seems willing to intrust to Congress. Each individual member of the Senate and House will therefore feel himself committee of one to treat the problems presented according to his own understanding as well as to subserve the wishes of the people at large and his own immediate dis trict. have already expressed my own personal views against the acquisition or territory remote from our own shores. Time and full and free discus sion Will solve these problems, and we Will nave been advised of public opin- ion not only of the people of the United states, but of our States and Congress slonal Districts, when Congress is ready to deal with these questions. I have repeatedly said 1 hold the opinion that While Senator or Representative in Congress may have positive convictions upon matters of governmental policy. ne must not forget that he Is the repre- sentative of community of people and must not hold his own opinions of para mount importance."s
 Congressman Loud said: "I have not had time to carefully study the Presi- dents message. This will take a whole day s time, but from nasty examina- ton l think 1t was such a message as one might have expected from Presi- dent Mckinley. He presented con- clsely much information that will be useful to Congress without assuming to dictate"
 Congressman Barham said: "I think the message a splendid state paper. The statement of facts preceding, dur Ing and since the war with Spain is certainly most concise and a satis- factory treatment of the subject. The Presldent's S views upon the necessity of Dattle-ships and better navy meet my most hearty approval. The posi- tton of the President upon the con struction of the Nicaraguan canal think expresses the opinion of nine tenths of the people of the United States, and in my opinion assures the canal appropriations.
 Congressman Hilborn said: "The message is very able document. It is necessarily long on account of the number and importance of the sub jects discussed. His recommendations regarding the navy are wise and time ly l am glad that the President has recommended that new ships of the navy shall be sheathed. Tn view of our lack of docking facilities this recom- mendation should be followed"
 Representative De Vries said: "To California people one of the most i'm portant matters treated in the messaee IS the urgent suggestion concerning the construction of the Nicaragua ca nal; This is particularly gratifying. and practically insures consideration of the matter during the present session of Congress- ~

MINOR POINTS TO HOLD OVER
TO END WAR CONDITIONS THE
 FIRST CONSIDERATION.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The impress sion prevails here that the results of the negotiations at Paris will be em- bodied in two or more treaties, instead of one. There will be one actual peace treaty, embodying nothing more than the protocol points relating to the re- linquishment of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba and the Spanish West h. dies, Guam and the Philippines, with the single exception of the proviso for the release of prisoners. All the other matters, those relating to the renewal of the commercial treaties, the acquisi- ton of cable and coaling stations, and, in fact, all those eXtraneouS matters that have been mentioned as likely to be incorporated in the peace treaty will form the subject of a special treaty.
 This course is likely to be adopted in order to hasten the conclusion of peace, of which there is a great necessity, if for no other reason than to secure the release of prisoners and the restora- tion of trade between Spain and the United States.
 There has been no evidence of fric- tion between the American Commits sioners. It is supposed-in fact it is knoWn-that in their own sessions they have differed about some points, and have discussed these at length, but whenever it came to the point of action In the joint commission the Americans were united. The last report received from them was unanimous, bearing the signature of every member of the con- mission.

WEYLER'S ASSISTANCE
 GAINED BY SAGASTA

MADRID, Dec. D. 5.-Immediately after the signing of the treaty of peace Pre- mier Sagasta will submit 10 the Queen Regent question of confidence. It is thought probable that her Majesty will ask Senor Sagasta to remain in power, in which case the Cortes will be con- Voked for January :.
 From the declaration of General Wey- Ter it is believed that a combination of the followers of Senor Sagasta, Romero Robledo and General Weyler will be af- fected as soon as peace is signed.
 General Weyler in an interview, has pronounced against the Conservatives, declaring that Cuba was the only que5- ton which separated him from the Lib- erals. He considers the internal crisis grave, ''in view of the attitude of Great Britain, which, by encouraging civil war, desires to do with Spain what the United States has done with her col onies.'
 Under these circumstances, Weyler added, he considers that a Sagasta- Robledo Cabinet would be the most able to cope with the situation.

PEACE COMMISSIONERS
 DEBATE ALPHABETICALLY

PARIS, Dec 5.-The American Peace ginning at 10 o'clock, with only brief recess for lunch, before going to the Foreign Office to meet the Spanish Commissioners at o'clock D. m. Tie Americans, apparently, had changed the form if not the substance of some of their demands, as a result of the de- during the past three days
 The joint commission was in session for over four hours. Much of the dis cussion concerned details as to he guar anteeing of the rights of Spanish citi- zens in the ceded colonies. The deba.e was occasionally energetic, and the Spaniards, on adjourning, appeared to be dejected. Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish Commission, when questioned after the meeting as to the progress made. answered excitedly:
 T am almost mad. I cannot talk. We are making progress
 The American Commissioners de- clined to say anything further than that the progress made was satis- factory.
 The Spanish Commissioners have re- ceived authority to bind their Govern ment on certain matters, but there are yet important questions on which their instructions are unsatisfactory and 1t is likely that many of the details in- volved in the change of sovereignty in the Spanish colonies will be left for set clement in the regular diplomatic pro- cess when relations between the two governments are resumed.

MASS MEETING AT FRESNO
GROWERS PLEASED WITH THE
 OUTLOOK.
General Plan of the Association for the Past Year Approved and Its Continuance
 Voted.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Dec. 5.-A great mass meeting was held to-day to consider the future prospects and method of procedure of the California Raisin Growers Association There were rep resentatives present from every DOT tion of the State interested in the raisin industry, from San Diego to Woodland. The enthusiasm was great, and much cheering followed the read ing of the reports showing the associa- tion's operations during the past sea- son-the first of the combire.
 These reports were all of a hatterlng character, showing the combine to have been a success. Secretary Boots re- port showed that there is on hand un- sold about one-Quarter of this year s crop, half of the quantity sold having netted, at September prices, 2.59 cents, and one-seventh, at October prices, 3.oi cents-a high average on account of the large proportion of layer and clus- ter goods shipped. The balance or goods sold realized 3.63 cents at ruling rates The general average for the sea- son was 3.0S cents to the grower per pound, and may before the close Of the season run up to 3A cents. Sales 10
  on hand unsold 800 cars.
 These goods were all controlled by the association. Outsiders put on the market 250 cars, decreasing the price for all by about half cent pound. Payments for handling the cars all ready shipped were s273,692 50; com missions $125, ,286 31, one-third of which is profit. The expenses of the associa- tion amounted to $10,005 IS.
 Treasurer T. c. Whites report shows: Total receipts to date, $1,40S.O77 O9; dis bursements, s1,331, ,496 01; balance on hand, $76,5S1 0S.
 General Manager Sayre reported the purchase of 290 ten-ton cars for $152,- 439 24: association shipments 3094 cars, with SPA on hand
 According to Director Nathan, the total shipments from all points in the State was 2244 cars.
 The meeting indorsed the general plan of the association for the past year, and resolved upon its continu- ance for the coming season, with such notifications as experience had shown to be desirable. These will be that the growers do their own packing of rais- ins or a percentage of the crop, and that all sales be made as during the past season-through the central agen- cy of the combine, to control both the market output and, necessarily, the ruling price.

DOES COLOMBIA ACT ON
 A SECRET AGREEMENT?
Belief That the Republic Is Aiding the United States in a Canal
 Scheme


 Special Cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald. Copyrighted. 1898. by James Cor
 don Bennett.
 PANAMA, Colombia, Dec. 5.-The Washington dispatch to the Herald. which announces the receipt of a dis patch from United States Minister Hart at Bogota, which states that the Col ombian Congress has refused to extend the time of the Panama Canal Com pany, has been printed here and has created a stir in canal circles. The general opinion is that an agreement exists between Colombia and the Unit ed States whereby the latter Govern ment is to take over the works when the contract lapses for want of funds to carry on the project. The capital of the company, I am informed. is all most exhausted and the action of the Colombian Congress is expected to pre- vent the raising of another sou.
 Nobody here entertains any idea that the United States seriously regards the Nicaragua route as more feasible or practical from an engineering or finan- cial standpoint than the Panama route. The latter scheme is considered to be far better because the canal Is two fifths completed, an enormously valu- able plant is already on the ground and the route is much shorter.
