FAMILY SKELETON
 AT TIE WEDDING An Intruder at the Pos- teley-Cook NuptiaIs. MRS. HENT NOT WELCOME BUT FORGED HERSELF INTO THE FASHIONABLE AFFAIR. Trouble Caused by a Relative of the Fair Bride-Began at Belvedere
 and Wound Up on the
 Wharf Here.
BUT FORGED HERSELF INTO THE FASHIONABLE AFFAIR.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

T1BURON, Dec. 1.-Behind the glare and glitter of the fashionable Postley- Cook wedding at 2Belvedere yesterday danced the grim family skeleton, it's rattling bones keeping an unwelcome accompaniment to the music of the orchestra. And the specter grinned in triumph when the apple of discord was hurled into the festive gathering in the person of Mrs. Ada Hent of Sausalito, an aunt of Miss Ethel Cook, the fair belle whose hand was given to MT. Postley of New York.
 In fact, Mrs. Hent's advent necessi- tated the presence of a sturdy limb of the law. whom Dr. Byron Haines of Belvedere has to thank for the fact that his face is not furrowed by the finger nials of that irate lady. Mrs. Hent who was the sister of the brides deceased father, is also Mrs. Haines' mother. Her former husband was named Barry. For a long time Mrs. Hent has been at outs with the other members of the family, and none of them would speak to her, nor was she invited to the wedding.
 It is stated that the original dispute arose over an heirloom in the shape of hh ldIl, WHICH SIiS CldlIn6Q De- longed to her, but which her brother refused to relinquish. About thirty min- utes after the nuptials Mrs. Hent made her debut on the scene, having come from SauSalito with a friend in a launch. She had blood in her eye, and messenger was hastily dispatched for an officer. Deputy Constable Frank Crosby responded, and when he arrived at the Cook residence found his hands full in keeping Mrs. Hent from creating a scene. When the wedding party went aboard the steamship Tiburon Attor- ney Henry E. Highton, whose wife is sister of Mrs. Cook, asked Constable McLane to accompany them across the bay, as the unwelccme visitor insisted on going along in spite of earnest re- monstrances. On the way to San Fran cisco she kept quiet under the officers watchful eye, but created scene at the wharf.
 AS the party was disembarking Mrs. Hent uttered scream of rage and flew at pr. Haines. Constable McLane in- terposed and had to restrain her for cibly from carrying out her intent. While she was detained by the officer the party entered hacks and drove rar- idly away, leaving her screaming with rage and making direfui threats Every thing possible has been done to keep the story from becoming public prop erty. Constable McLane, probably act ing under instructions, refused to dis cuss the affair.

MANILA. Dec 1.-The Independent party of the Filipinos is not disposed to accept the result Of the deliberations of the Peace Commissioners at Paris, judging from the tone of the native press.

"That odious Scheme"

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: In an editorial which appeared
in The Herald on Saturday you desig-
nate the movement for the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands as 1.-The odious
scheme for Hawaiian annexation. IN
asmuch as The Herald has many read
ers who favor annexation. Will you
please state In The Herald the facts
from which you draw the conclusion
that the policy favoring annexation Is
an 'odious scheme?"
A CONSTANT READER.
The scheme for the annexation OF HAWAII
is odous for these reasons:
1t endangers the Monroe doctrine
Colonial acquisitions are expensive and
embarrassing
We do not need the Islands.
Independence, not acquisition, IS our
true policy with regard to the islands.
In taking me islands we should practi-
caliy annex slave labor.
Annexation opposes home industry, anu
labor is strongly against it.
Annexation would be serious menace
to the sugar beet and beet sugar industries
in this country, particularly in California
where they are just taking on large pro-
portions.
Annexation would necessitate large ad-
dition TO our naval strength, for which we
or indirect.
The people of Hawaii have not been
called upon to formally decide whether
they wish to be annexed.
The people of California should be the
very last to favor the annexation of Ha-
wall. 1t would bring ruin to our growing
sugar industry and these are the reasons
why:
During the past twenty years sugar has
been admitted free into this country from
Hawaii. under a contract which is about
to expire. All this sugar has been taken by
the sugar trust, which has kept up the
price so that it should not compete with
American sugar. When this contract ex-
pires, Hawaiian sugar made by cheap con-
tract labor will come into direct compeii-
ton with our beet sugar, which costs twice
as much to produce as the Hawaiian pro-
duct. The Hawaiian product in 1897 was
over 500 900 pounds, or sufficient to sup
ply the western states in which our beet
sugar factories are located. In the last
three years the importation of Hawaiian
sugar has increased over 60 per cent.

CANAL SURVEY
Good Progress Made by the Men at
Work

SAN CARLOS, Nicaragua, Feb. e.
Correspondence of the Associated Press }
The photographic party under the Mica
raguan canal commission have now al
most completed their work on Lake Mica
ragua. and have already begun work on the
San Juan river.
The NicaraSuan government steamer
which has been promised for use in the
general survey of the lake, has not yet ar
rived, and Lieutenant Hams is afraid he
will not be able at this time to finish this
important part of his work. The reasons
for the delay is the impending uprising
against the present government On the
part of the latter there is evidently great
uneasiness, If not alarm. Troops are be-
ing moved here and there, and people are
being pressed into the military service
in large numbers. Many of those known
to Sympathize with the threatened revolu-
ton have been placed in confienment.
The government has seized both the lake
steamer Victoria and the river steamer
Managua, the property of the transporta-
ton company. The effect of this is prac-
tically to stop mail communication and
commerce between the Atlantic and the
whole country.
f. l.. Stuart, who has charge of the tran
sit, party, working in conjunction with
Lieutenant Hams party, has finished
measuring the base line for the lake work
and has made considerable progress in
his work down the river. He will shift
his camp this week to a point about six
miles below San Carlos.

ALL VALUES DO NOT GLITTER

The future of Alaska need not neces-
sarily depend wholly upon the extent or
richness of her gold deposits. By
products of the precious metals are Of
ten significant facts.
Thus did Leadvlle, while earning
fame as the greatest silver producing
camp in the world, develop into the
greatest lead producer as well, her sill
yer mines yielding onethird of the total
lead consumption of the United States

camp is now producing four millions
annually in aurferous values, besides
furnishing the largest steel works in
the country with all of its requirements
in the way of manganese, a commodity
which formerly had to be supplied from
foreign countries.
Thus to accident also is credited the
discovery of the only deposit of gilsonite

country, discovery promising better
returns than usually come from gold
or silver mines.

Magnates' Quarrels

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 1.-The suit
of James Corrigan against John D. Rookie
feller, involving Standard Oil stock valued
at $1,000 900, came up today before Judge
Neff of the common pleas court. Corrigan
sued Rockefeller to recover 1000 shares of
Standard Oil stock, alleged to be worth
$500 share, claiming that Rockefeller had
defrauded him out of the shares. Rookie
feller answered, denying the charges and
making counter-claim. The question
Judge Neff was called upon to decide was
whether demurrer to the answer was
well taken. In his petition Corrigan said
that Rockefeller, as his agent, held the
Oil stock in trust. He owed Rockefeller
money and wanted to borrow $50, 900 more.
Then, he AYERS, Rockefeller induced him
to sign an agreement wherein he delivered
his stock to Rockefeller. The millionaire
Corrigan alleges, pretended to be his friend
but all the time was fooling him. Corrigan
asks the court for an accounting and an
order compelling Rockefeller to return the
stock or it's equivalent.
