time to think for themselves, all class

the laboring classes were fast losing
their hereditary right of freedom and
that they were gradually SubSiding

the chattel slavery of early days. In
concluding, Macarthur urged his hear
ers to advance labor by organizing and
by patroniZing only union concerns.

PRESIDE, september 3.

PRESlDlO, September 8.
To the Editor Of The. Call: The efforts of
this city are fully appreciated by the majority
of the rank and file of the Washington regi-
ment
We are not disposed to be childish in our
endeavors to get back home, yet think that
the Government should recognize that are
men of affairs and that need to be at our
homes and business is second only to that of
the country for our services, and we think that
we have a right to expect to be dealt with
now, as the war is over, in the spirit in
which we came forth in response to the Ma
tons call.
While we have some of the irresponsible ele-
ment, as all regiments seem to have, our men
In the main full-grown American citizens

as convicts sent up for two years for being
unable to take care of themselves, and are
even denied that sacred right of petition, as
can be attested by four of our men who served
eight days in the guard house for signing and
Congress to use his influence to have us re-
leased consistent with the services.
If we are needed longer by our Government
in the cause of humanity there is hardly man
of US who would ask to be released, and would
not only continue to cheerfuly sacrifice per-
sonal interests and family companionshp, but
lay down his life for the cause.
Our officers, who draw better pay than they
ever did before or ever will again, and who
can have their families with Them are per-
garrison duty. and brand about 500 men who
signed the aforesaid petition a few discon-
tented and irresponsible persons. We are glad
that the free press did not join the army, and
VIII appreciate as long as we live anything
that you may be able to do to voice the senti-
ment Of the men whose mouths sealed by
special orders. Respectfully,
A PRIVATE.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid
 Troubles Can Be Quickly Cured
You May Have q SuDple Bottle of tbe Great
 Discovery Sent Free by Mail.

AS we are by nature subject to many diseases, the only way to guard against all stampedes on our health is to
 If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to locate it's origin and discover which or gan of the body is sick and in need of attention.
 If the kidneys are at fault-and in almost every case in the failing of our health they are-look well to their res toration to health and strength.
 They are the great filters of our body, and consequently, the purity of the blood is entirely dependent on their cleansing powers.
 If the kidneys are not in a perfectly clean and healthy condition, the blood becomes impregnated with impurities and decay of the kidneys soon takes place. If your desire to relieve your self of water increases, and you find 1t necessary to arise many times dur ing sleeping hours, your kidneys are sick. As they reach more un- healthy stage, scalding and irritation takes place as the water flows, and pain or dull ache in the back makes you miserable. If the water, when all lowed to remain undisturbed for twenty-four hours, forms a settling or sediment, you are in the grasp of most serious kidney or bladder disorders.
 If neglected now the disease advances until the face looks pale or sallow, puffy or dark circles under the eyes. the feet swell, and sometimes the heart acts badly.

WITH A CLUB HE
 RESENTS PERSECUTION
| One San Quentin Convict Tunnels Another for Throwing Rocks
 af Him

SAN QUENTIN, April 5.-The iute mill in the State penitentiary was the scene of another fight between desperate con- victs at an early hour this morning. As a result James Roupe, a prisoner serving a life sentence for burglary committed in Napa, was taken to the prison hospital, and A. Pelanda, an Italian doing three years for grand larceny in Kings County, is in the dungeon on bread and water diet.
 Roupe, better known as "Brockey the Plumber" IS now serving his fourth term is one of the most desperate men in the penitentary, and was implicated with George Williams and George Schlegal in the attempt to wreck the New Orleans express at Morrano station on Septem- Der 4, 1897. Williams and Schlegal are serving life sentences also.
 The trouble leading to the fight was caused by Roupe throwing bits of copper and iron at Pelandas back while the two were at work in the lower part of the jute mill among the breakers, where the raw jute is received and separated. koupe kept up the persecution for some time until al last Pelanda, with curse, turned upon him and beat him over the head with a club.
 Roupe fell and guards rushed in and separated the convicts. The Italian was thrown into the dungeon, while Roupe was led to the hospital and the wound on his head dressed by the druggist.
 The Chinaman who ties up the washing in the laundry revolted this morning and refused to work He was ordered to the dungeon, where he will receive bread and water diet for few days.

BLAMED FOR
 THE RATE WAR Canadian Pacific Scored for It's Antagonistic
 Policy. President of the Grand Trunk of Canada Talks to
 Shareholders. Says tho Transcontinental Line Is Seeking to Crush Connect
 ing Roads.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 5.-Sir Charles Riv- CTS Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, in a speech said the principle which the present board had always followed was to, seek the maximum amount of business at the minimum cost. He reviewed the business of the company in detail.
 Referring to the rate war, the presi- dent declared that the Canadian Pa cific Railroad desired an exclusive con- tract with the Grand Trunk Railroad in order to weaken the Chicago con- nection and damage the Grand Trunk Railroads connecting roads to Chicago The Grand Trunk Railroad, the speaker explained, would never give up it's close alliance with it's allies.
 On the larger question of differen- tials and the Klondike business the president said that the Canadian Pa cific Railroad had yet to prove it's title to a differential The negotiations would be continued next month and it was believed an agreement would be reached.
 The president declared the future was filled with the brightest promise
 An attack upon the board was made by MT. Baker of Bristol, who declared there was no truth in a statement of the president regarding the Grand Trunk Railway not beginning the rate war, which, according to MT. Baker, was brought about in the interest of the American allies of the road The president denied MT. Bakers assertion.
 The retiring directors were reelected.
 CHICAGO, April 5.-Western passen- ger agents held a meeting here to-day to agree on a common line of action to be pursued by them at the confer ence to be held with the Canadian Pa cific next Tuesday, in New York, of the settlement of the present transconti- mental passenger rate war.
 A resolution was offered providing that the Canadian Pacific be notified that owing to the position taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission in it's recent decision, the American roads are no longer in position to al- low it differential rates on any class of business whatever. While there were no negative votes on this resolution some of the roads withheld their votes and the proposition is still open for dis cussion. The whole tone of the dis cussion was decidedly opposed to mak- ing any concessions to the Canadian Pacific road. The meeting will con- tinue its deliberations tomorrow.

Reports have been recently made public to the effect that General Carlos Ezeta the eXiled President of Salvador, has already received a settlement of his es- tates in that place. and that he now has a sum closely bordering on g ,0O0 900 at his disposal. When spoken to regarding these reports, General EZeta said:
 'I am surprised to see in the press so many things in relation to myself deny the story of the millions 1 am at this moment demanding the restitution of some of my property which has been confiscated, which will not be anywhere near the amount stated of $2,O0O, 900.
 II have had communications to the eff feet that the Government will return, or has already returned my property. In relation to the law suit I must assure you that there is nothing else but the ineXperience of a stranger who has not the insight of people who wish to bleed him. Naturally I have to resign myself to the consequences, so that in the future I will not be the victim of those people again. 1 owe in Oakland, as any house. holder may owe, money, and any one with whom I have lived will inform you as to whether my bills have been paid on presentation or not.
