New York, Nov 1.-The trust stocks
continued TO absorb a large share of at
tention In Wall street today. The nuctua-
tons were violent and at times eonilict-
ng, but owing to the predominant IN
duence Of Tobacco in this class OF securl-
Ties, most of the group closed the Gay at
net losses. The trading in all OF them
was Iull OF mystery, ana there was 20
conclusive reason known to the pupnc
either for the early advance or Subse-
quent decline. Probably the inherent
weakness Of sugar in view OF the formid-
able trade war in prospect was the root
of the difficulty which WAS preclpltated
by the announcement that one OF the new
rival companies had commenced meltlng
sugar today. There has been support OF
Sugar for several days with the obvious
intent of aiding the rise in Tobacco ana
when Ii proved too heavy today Tobacco
took a sudden drop of over points and
nuctuated feverishly for the rest OF the
day. II is quite possible that IoDacco
was allowed to fail with view OF SHsth-
ing off an indescribable speculative fol-
lowing. but whatever the purpose or the
movement further notice was purely man
tpulative and under control. The Federai
Steel stocks fell off from the best in
sympathy but the 1luctuation in these
was much narrower and the support APP
parenty more substantial. The always
vulnerable coalers came in for severe
raps on the ground of the unfovorable
September statements of Reading and
New Jersey Central and general depres-
sion in the anthracite trade.
Extreme declines ranged from 2 to "a
in the group. which uncovered stop loss
orders. but which was followed by rally
on covering of shorts. A rise of Us in
Manhattan on talk of new and powerful
interests in the company aided the hard
enins tendency of the market in the late
dealings. Changes in the railroad list
are very small as a rule.
There WAS more activity shown in rail-
road bonds than in Stocks and though
prices as a rule were easier, there were
exceptions on the side OF gains. Total
sales 81. 10 600
L. S. IS registered and the old As reg
istered advanced u in the bid price. The
SIS coupon sold as high as 1855. eX-interest.

THROUGH WITH
 SAN QUENTIN The Legislative Commit tee Completes It's
 Inspection.
Senator Simpson Finds a Con- vict Enjoying a Daily
 Newspaper.
Penalty for Planting Opium in the Penitentiary Grounds Should
 Be Made Severe.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Feb. g. The State Senators who constitute the Legislatures committee appointed to inspect the public institutions of the State held their second days session here to-day and adjourned to meet at Folsom Prison next Friday. The ground that was not covered yesterday in the questioning was gone over to- day and completed. The following Senators were present: Chairman John H. Dickinson, J. J. Boyce, W. F. Prisk, C. w Simpson and E. w. Chapman.
 During the morning session Senator Boyce of Santa Barbara took the lead in questioning, and Warden Hale was asked a score of questions in regard to the variety of things that could be manufactured at the penitentiary and whether it would be a good plan to do so The Warden explained that at the present time all the shoes, clothing and such articles were made in the prison, but only in sufficient quantities to supply their own demands. The parole system was explained in detail, and the Senators agreed that 1t was an excellent institution and should be con- tinued.
 There are at present 134O convicts confined in the San Quentin Peniten- tiary and TOO of this number are en- ployed in the jute mill.
 Senator Boyce wanted to know what the capacity of the pris- on was, and the Warden stated that by doubling the number in the cells 2O00 prisoners could be housed, but Warden Hale said that in all the institutions he had visited in the East the WardenS were unanimous in the opinion that no more than 1000 men could be handled in one prison as they should be and he fully agreed
 The question of opium was fully dis cussed, and the Warden explained how 1t was that the drug got into the pris on. He said that it was planted in the yards and dug up by the convict gar deners and other prisoners, who carried it inside the walls, where it was ped dled out The Warden recommended that a bill be passed at the next session of the Legislature making it felony to smuggIe the drug into the prison. The only law, said the prison author ity, that they had now to prevent the traffic was shotgun law, and this they applied now and then.
 The proposition of establishing an electric light plant at the penitentiary was thoroughly discussed, but no con- clusion arrived at.
 A special meeting of the committee will be held in San Francisco before the Folsom meeting Friday.

ALL THE VICTIMS WERE
 SHOT IN THE BACK,

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb 9.-When court opened this morning for the trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies Judge Woodward spoke to the jurors about re- ceiving letters bearing upon any point In the trial. He said:
 'If you receive any letters with refer ence to the trial, whether anonymous or signed, it is your duty to hand them over to the District Attorney, and you must not allow them to make any inn preSSion on your mind"
 Witness Lewis Kitsuki told how on ar irving at West Hazeton with the strik- ers two deputies seized him and tore his shirt. He said a number of men were so frightened by the deputies threatening them with their guns that they ran home and did not march to Latimer. On cross- examination he admitted that the Sheriff had told the strikers to go home and that they disobeyed and marched to Latimer
 Ellery Bonin, an undertaken of Hazle- ton, who buried thirteen of the victims, described their wounds, saying all were shot in the back, except one, who had a bullet in his forehead. John Andreasky told the same story, as had many others. about the meeting on the night before the shooting, the march to West Hazleton and the march to Latimer.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Feb. 1o.-A dispatch to the Daily Mail says the British fleet now at Chemulpo will go to Nagaski
 The Peking correspondent of the Times says: The Japanese Minister, Myano Furino, respectfully intimates to the Tsung Ii Yamen the inability of his Government, having regard to the obligations contracted in Japan, to grant an extension of the time for pay ment of the indemnity. Though no of ficial statement has been issued, the negotiations for a loan from British sources are regarded as having failed.
 M. Duball, the French Charge d'Af- faires, has formulated some unTeasOn- able demands upon the Tsung Ii Va men. Among other things he insists upon the payment of indemnity to the family of a Frenchman kidnapped in Tonquin, as alleged by the Chinese, by brigands, and subsequently, liberated. Eight days have been given for fa- vorable reply, in default whereof necessary. The reply must necessarily be unfavorable, and the Chinese are helplessly waiting French action.
 PEKING, Feb. 9-The idea of a loan on either British or Russian guarantee has been definitely abandoned. The failure of the British negotiations with such favorable terms seems due to diplomatic bungling, and 1t is the opin- ion here that stronger diplomacy is urgently needed.
 Russia refuses to declare her inten- tions regarding Port Arthur. If the Russian occupation is to be permanent Great Britain ought to occupy Talien Wan or some other northern port Chusan being too far south-or to
 
 with Russia
 The offer of German firm to negoti- ate a 6 per cent loan at 94 has been de- clined.
 VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 9-Orien- tai advices brought by the Empress of China tonight state that with the ar rival of re-enforcements to the Ger man squadron at Kiaochau the Ger man force will number about 42O0 men. There is some disturbance at Chefu. Some disbanded soldiers from Kiao- chau Bay have begun plundering in the surrounding country.
 At Port Arthur things are beginning to assume their normal state. The port was for some time almost deserted, as the inhabitants feared the repetition of the massacre that occurred during the war with Japan.
 The Yokumin states that when the Japanese steamer Nanyetsu Maru was recently entering the harbor of Cheru- mepo a British man-of-war stopped her and made inquiries about the movements of a squadron of a certain country.

PROTEST AGAINST
 SCHR0EDER'S REMOVAL.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 9.-There was remarkable gathering at the Josephi- mum, the papal institution in this city, to- day. Forty-five German Catholic priests from all parts of the United States met to bid farewell to Mgr. Joseph Schroeder who leaves tomorrow to accept a pro- fessorship in the university at Munster, Westphalia, rendered by Emperor Will liam, and to protest against the removal of Mgr. Schroeder from the chair of dog matic theology of the Catholic University st Washington, D. c. The forty-five priests came as the delegates from 2OO0 German Catholic priests, with a constit- uency. of 100000 Commitments of the church.
 An address was. presented to Mgr. Schroeder expressing regret on behalf of the German Catholics of the country on his departure and severely censuring the trustees of the Catholic University. Rev. Father Thiel, on behalf of the LOO priests represented, presented Mgr Schroeder with a purse of S4000
 Mgr. Schroeder replied with much feel ing, accepting the gift. In discussing his removal from the chair of dogmatic the olOgy in the Catholic University he stated the trustees had charged him with teaching doctrines that were un-Catho- lie and his dismissal had shown that they were teaching many things which the people of the church no longer accepted

AN INVENTORY
 IS DEMANDED Los Angeles City Council Warns the Water
 Company.
Seeks Information That Will Be of Great Value to the
 People.
Breach Widening Among the Cor pOratiOn Directors-PreSs Com bine Duplicity.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9.-The City Clerk to-day sent to the officers of the Los Angeles City Water Company, un- der instructions from the City Coun- cil, the resolution demanding a com plete inventory of the corporations improvements to the city's distributing plant. Unless the report is made with in two weeks the city under the reso- lution, notifies the company that it will enter default on it's alleged con- tract with the municipality.
 The further demand is to be made on the company that 1t specify In its in- ventory of improvements the time when each improvement was made This information will be of great value to the people when it comes to pur- chasing these so-called improvements The time has come when the people feel that they should be kept fully posted as to the water plants negotia- tions. Something like $2,000, 900 of their money is to be spent, and they have every reason and right to be posted as to it's disposition. The policy of the water company and its syndicated press has been to keep them entirely in the dark and 1t is still being pursued. The result is that the taxpayers of Los Angeles are looking largely to The Call both for information and protection.
 The Water Company press is now endeavoring to deceive the people by the publication of cheap cartoons ridi- culing the proposition of municipal control and at the same time claiming to favor it. The people are cognizant of this act of treachery on the part of the Times, Herald and Express, and they are resenting it in a very decided way.
 Among the Water Company direc- tors the breach Is widening and the spirit of dissension is spreading. The turn which affairs have taken within the past thirty days in the matter of municipal control leads some of the directors, notably Messrs. Minor and Drake, to believe that the company and the stockholders are not going to re- ceive the fancy price they had antici- pated, and they are said to be thor oughly convinced now that they can get no extension of their lease and franchise. The result is that they are dissatisfied with the managerial tact and sagacity of the corporation
 Whether any changes will be made in the. officers of the Water Company or not Is as yet unknown, but develop ments are looked for, as there is a very pretty scrap on among the direc- fn,

EXPECTS TO VACATE
 ITS CHICAGO OFFICE.
Out Its Affairs in the East.

CHICAGO, Feb 9.-The Alaska Trade Committee, which has had it's quarters in the Great Northern building since last fall, Is closing out its affairs and expects to vacate its Chicago office tomorrow. The exhibits of Alaska products and min CTS supplies have been placed in down. town offices of the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific Railway companies.
 Ex-Governor Sheakley of Alaska, in charge of headquarters, says that he has succeeded in straightening the affairs of the committee and paying it's indebt- edness, and will retire from his connec- tion with the concern on the closing of the Chicago office. He is not going to return to San Francisco direct, but will visit for few weeks in Pennsylvania the State that he represented in Congress be- fore going to Alaska.

JUDGES OF THE BEST

And those who insist upon having the finest that can be obtained, have not been slow in discovering that the approval of the Govern ment of any article means a great deal. It is not surprising, there- fore, that so many people with edu- cated palates and discriminating minds are using the popular 70. F.C." Whiskey in preference to any other. A WelI-knoWn gentleman, speaking on this subject recently, said: 'I do not agree with the man who stated that all whistles are good My experience has been that most of them are bad, but when 1 find the Government guaranteeing by it's official stamp that every bot tie of '0.F c. Whiskeyls 100 per cent proof, and when l find, upon tasting and noting the after effects how pleasant it is to take and how fine in it's effects, it does not take me moment to make up my mind what to do, and that is to use it regu- larly. find it all that l can desire" i"
 There are thousands of people in the COm- munity who have made the same discovery, and the number is increasing every day.
