WHO DIVULCED
 THE BIG SCHEME?
Publication of Plans of a Power Company Startles It's
 Promoters.
It's Possible Effect Upon the Manu- featuring Industries of This
 City.

The publication in The Call yesterday of the scheme for transmitting electrical power from the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, through the medium of an electrical line to San Fran cisco, came as a startling announcement of one of the greatest schemes affecting the manufacturing industry of this city.
 It is the consensus of opinion that the vast scope of it's possible effect upon the manufacturing industries of San Fran cisco, If carried out as proposed, will be against their Eastern competitors, and that it may be an incentive for the es- tablishment of new enterprises represent ing manufacturing industries not already established here.
 MT. Addison, manager of the General Electric Company, when seen In his once nothing further to say regarding the scheme, other than that he was surprised that it had been made public at this tune by it's exclusive publication in The Call.
 Prince PoniatowSk, the head and front of the new company, would not discuss the subject, except to say that he did not know who connected herewith had di- vulged the affairs of the company, as it was not intended they should be made public at this time.
 The proposed secretary of the new company, MT. Angus, was startled when he learned of the publication of the plans of the company, the facts of which he supposed were the secrets only of those | directly interested in the project and marveled at the energy displayed in se- curing the information published.

 Fort Slocunn, New York.
Desertion of a Private From C. Com pany, First Infantry, Causes
 Comment at the PPesidiO.

The word from Washington that Con- gress had voted without dissenting voice the sum of fifty million dollars for national defense was inspiring to the army. The unanimity with which the great measure was carried delight ed the army people and evoked pat riotic comment at headquarters, and all the garrisons of this department. The success of the bill creating two more regiments of artillery caused feeling of joy in the military camps. The noble appropriation of fifty million dollars immediately following the army in- crease awakened enthusiasm.
 The veteran soldier, Colonel D. B. Williston, will command the Sixth Ar tillery Yesterday an order came by wire from the War Department direct ing Colonel Williston to report with out delay to General Merritt, command ing the Department of the East, for duty at Fort Slocum. The Sixth Ar tilery will there be organized as speed fly as possible Colonel Williston will probably leave the Presidio for his new station the latter part of this week. His departure from the garrison will cause a feeling of regret among the of fcers and enlisted mep.
 General Shafter, commanding the De- partment of California, had busy day at army headquarters in this city yes terday. The general and Colonel Miles post commander at the Presidio, were together for an hour. Subsequently the general consulted with members of his staff and officers of the Third Artill- cry.
 It is believed that the President vii allot to the army some of the money placed in his hands by the recent act ol Congress. A sum may be allowed fol spring maneuvers near Atlanta. The dispatches in The Call that arrange ments had been perfected for mobiliz- ing the troops at Atlanta were read with great interest by the soldiers serv. ing in this department.

 should not be granted and this action
 had the effect of stopping all further
 proceedings until after that time.
 hilpatrick's attorney next filed with
 the County Clerk complaint against Director D. F. Ragan, charging him
 with having offered to receive various
 sums for his promise to appoint per sons to positions as teachers in the de- partment varying from $250 to $500 ana asking that the defendant be re- moved rem office. The charges are general in their nature, no specific ale gatlon being made.

 mons served upon him appeared at the City Hall with his attorneys, w. W. Foote and Andrew J. Clunie, with an
 answer all prepared. and going before Judge Cook gave notice that at 10 o'clock this morning they would move for an order setting the case for trial at the earliest possible date. on the ground that the case is of public inn portance and should be determined at once.
 The answer denies the charges con- tained in the complaint and waiving all technalitieS and time defendant may | be entitled to, demands the fullest in- vestigation.
 The trial of MT. Fitzpatrick was set for o'clock last evening. Half an hour before that time his attorneys, Deuprey and Aldrich, made their ap- pearance and waited to see what action the board would take. Several direct DTS assured the attorneys that no at
 attempt would be made to disregard the courts order, but that the matter
 would be deferred until Judge Belcher gave his decision. With this under
 standing Deuprey and Aldrich with
 drew, and shortly afterward President
 Harrington called the directors to or der, Messrs. Bantel, Burns. Derham, Drucker, Gallagher, Hammond and Waller answering to their names. Di- rector Waller moved that Kilpatrick's S l trial be continued until 10 a. m., March
 23 The motion was carried without
 dissent and the board adjourned. | Director Ragan was seen last evening
 and said that the suit instituted by MT.
 Fitzpatrick had occupied his time during | the day to the exclusion of other mat l ters, and until that was disposed of he
 would take no steps against Stanton. 1 He expressed his determination to have
 the suit brought to trial at the earliest
 possible date, and for that purpose he
 said he would waive all technicalities.

JUDGMENT FOR BIG DAMAGES. Pacific Steam Whaling Company Re- covers From the Alaska Packers
 Association.

A jury in Judge Hunts court deter mined yesterday afternoon that by reason of the Alaska Packers Associations in reference with the employees of the Pa cific Steam Whaling Company while they were fishing for salmon near Karluk Spit and Tanglefoot Inlet, Alaska, the latter corporation has been damaged in the sum of $50,0O0, and gave Judgment in it's favor for that amount. Although it was con ceded that the Pacific Steam Whaling Company had been dameged by the inter ference of the rival firm, the damages al- lowed by the jury were much greater than was expected notwithstanding the fact that in the complaint sl00.000 was asked as damages to cover the loss of the plaintiff.

LAW INVOKED TO GUST RACAN Kilpatrick Carries the War Into the Enemy'S
 Camp. Suit Begun in the Superior Court Calling for the Dl-
 rector's Removal. The Board of Education Also En- joined From Proceeding With
 the Teachers Trial.

Several new complications were in iected into the Kilpatrick-Board or Ed ucation squabble yesterday, and when hostilities closed for the day it looked as though the affair had developed into Q tane1e that will require several weeks to straighten out.
 MT. KiIpatrick early In the day as- stunned the aggressive, and through the agency of Judge Belcher Of the Supe- rior Court succeeded in staying off his trial bv the Board of Education for at least two weeks. He also made flank movement on Director Ragan ana brought suit, asking for the doctors re- moval from the beard, alleging that he had at divers times peddled out teach ers' positions for sums varying from so5o to $500. This attack kept the doc tor so busy all day in repelling that he did not have time to take his con templated action against stanton, ana until Kilpatricks suit Is disposed o1 Stanton will escape prosecution on charge of attempted extortion.
 The first move of the day was when Attorneys Eugene N. Deuprey and H. Aldrich. on behalf of Fitzpatrick, pre- sented a petition to Judge Belcner, a petition praying for writ or prohibl- tion to restrain the Board of Education from proceeding with the trial of the petitioner. Fitzpatrick alleges that he was suspended by the board without any charges being made against him which, he states, is without Jurisdiction of the law The board now seeks to place him on trial, and he asks the court to grant the writ of prohibition until Jurisdiction is properly obtained by the board.

Big Price for q Broken Heart.

Not long since Danville, ILL.,, Jury
ordered the male defendant in a
breach of promise case to pay the
competent sum of $54, ,333. .33 to the af-
hicted fair one. Though it is a pretty
high estimate OF blighted affection,
there is another estimate which, il
not in dollars and cents exactly as
high, yet in general consideration Of
excellence reaches as lofty an altitude.
This is the estimate of the people as to
the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as remedy for constipation.
The action of this gentle but effective
laxative is never accompanied by the
gripping SO marked in the operation Of
most cathartics. It is an incompar-
able remedy for and preventive Of
malarial, rheumatic and kidney COM
plants, and . promoter Of appetite
and sleep.

spring Valley TO Issue Bonds.

It has been decided by the directors
Of the Spring Valley Water Company
at San Francisco to issue 1900. 900
worth OF per cent bonds. The bonds
will be issued under third mortgage,
to bear the date September l, 1898,
payable eight years from date. 1t is
said that the Company proposes to
use the money thus obtained for the
erection Of pumping works deemed
now to be necessary on account Of the
recent drouth. The Company has in
the treasury about 100000 Of un-
used stock which would have been
used. but water rates being based on
per cent dividends on the stock, it
was deemed advisable to issue bonds
instead OF stock. Interest will thus
be saved.

friends that he is considerably disap-
pointed with the outlook in Alaska.
He says man wants at least 500 q
day diggings to make mining pay. Ed
has worked on few claims but has
not found anything yet. He hopes,
however, that he will make a stake
before returning home.
John Crowley, who went to the
Northwest from the Comstock writes
to friends in Virginia that it is tough
country. He is located at CircleC City and
says he has taken up several
claims. but none OF them pay. He
is working for wages at $12 per day,
but no wages paid there will warrant
the hardships that a man must endure.
He says that man getting $40 per
month here is better off than he
would be there at $12 per day.

A Big Nevada Cattle Deal.

One OF the largest sales ever made
direct in the Denver yards was made
last Sunday, when 81 cars of Nevada
cattle, shipped to that market by
Keogh Bros, were bought in bunch
by Becker & Degen, the big stocker
and feeder buyers. The Denver Live
Stock Commission Company made the
deal, which involved the payment Of
about SAC, 900 in cash. The cattle were
fair to good Nevada stockers and were
reshipped to Nebraska points. There
were 900 cows, 622 calves and 432
heifers in the bunch. The price per
head was not made public, but it was
satisfactory to all concerned.

NEW LEACHINe PROCESS.

From Salida, Colorodo, comes the
report that there are now being made
In that city a series of experiments
and demonstrations Of a new process
Tor treating ores. II the tests made
can be carried out on large scale the
industry of mining low grade ores will
be speedily revolutionized. The pro-
cess was discovered and patented by
A. u. Stephens Of Colorado Springs,
and has already attracted no little at.
tention from mining and mill men.
There is yet no mill in the State using
the process, but it is expected that one
will soon be located in:the Whitehon-
Turret district.
The process is similar to the cya-
nide, but possesses many vastly su-
perior points. The process is known
az "The Nom Roasting Metal lExtrac-
ton Process" and is all that it's
name signifies. All the metals are
extracted by the ore solution. and the
ore is never roasted, simply crushed.
The pulp is put into watts and the most
refractory ore yet tested requires only
an hour and fifteen minutes to extract
all metal from the pulp. Some ore
requires only thirty minutes, while
the average is about forty-five min
utes. Not only gold is thus taken
from the ore, but silver, copper, anti
mony and sulphur.
The presence of iron or copper does
not hinder the extraction of gold as is
the case with the cyanide process,
which will not successfully treat ore
that contains more than 8 or per
cent of iron or copper. Another point
is that cyanide frequently requires
twelve or fifteen hours to treat ores
that by this process is reduced in one
hour. The chemical used is six times
stronger than cyanide and costs to
manufacture, even in small quantities,
only cents a gallon. From so to 80
cents worth treats ton OF ore. The
owners of the patent guarantee to save
81 per cent OF the values contained at
a cost of $3.50 to s3 per ton.

The official report of the fight at San
Juan shows that one battalion Of the
Seventy first Regiment Of New York
displayed cowardice in the face oi the
enemy. This is the story which the
New York World correspondent related,
and which was Indignantly denied by
other correspondents and by many Off
GERS OF the regiment. IL appears that
the 6rst companies could not be induced
to face the hail Of lead poured into their
ranks by the Spaniards and that they
actually lay down under cover while
companies behind them marched forward
and stormed the entrenchments which
they refused to carry. This is q pretty
severe indictment of the courage Of .
regiment which. by it's reputation in the
Civil War. ought not to have been want
ing in courage or skill.
