SPRECKELS' DAUGHTER.
She Will Sue to Recover Property
Decided to Her Father

HONOLULU, Jan. 9th (via Seattle.
Feb. O.-Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Watson
arrived here on the 22d inst, on their
way around the world. Mrs. Watson
is the only daughter of Claus Spreck-
els, the sugar king Her marriage with
Watson caused family estrangement,
which has not been healed to this day
Spreckels claimed that his daughter
was ungrateful, and in addition
charged Watson with being fortune
hunter. The daughter denied both
charges, and as proof of good inten-
tons decided back to her father prop
erty worth a million and a half dollars.
Mrs. Watson now claims that her
father has been more than unkind to
her since her marriage, and to even up
things she has decided to invite the
aid of the Hawaiian courts for the re-
covery of million and a half dollars
worth of property which she decided
back to him at the time of her mar
riage. 1t has long been known in
Honolulu that Mrs. Watson's deed to
Claus Sprecfels was not signed by her
husband, and the impression has pre-
vailed that it was invalid on that ac-
count. Her contention will hold good

FIRE IN NEW JERSEY.
Half a Block of Buildings at At

ATLANTIC CITY On. j., Feb. IA
fire which originated in the Academy of
Music this morning destroyed a half
block of buildings, entailing a loss of
about 5000 The origin is a mys-
terry. Officer Robinson discovered
smoke issuing from under the board
walk in front of the Academy of Music.
A general alarm was sent in, but be-
fore the engines arrived the Academy
of Music was enveloped in flames. The
fire spread to Lapre's confectionery
store, and there communicated to the
rear of Bryn Maur Hotel.
The flames quickly spread to Bachar-
ach's furniture store, Rutters School
Of Phrenology, Myers photograph gall
lery, the Gold Mine bathhouse, Smith
chair establishment, and a portion of
the vitaScope parlors on the board
walk
For a time it looked as though the
Berkeley Hotel the largest hosiery
on Kentucky avenue, would surely be
destroyed, but the wind shifted in time
TO save it.
The heaviest losers: Academy of Mu-
sic, $4,000, insurance small, owned by
Joseph Fralinger; Lapre's confection-
cry store, 5000; Gold Mine baths. 81
OOO, owned by S. S. Mervine; Stewart
& Co, household goods, $500; Bryn
Maur Hotel $4,000; Bacharach's fur
niture store, $4,000
Owing to the fact that the property
destroyed was all beach-front buildings,
there is very little insurance, the in
surance companies refusing to take the
risks except at very high rates.

EMBARGO on FRUIT.
REPORT OF ITS MODIFICATION
CONFIRMED.
The United States Has a Complaint
Against Germany Which Now
May be Pressed.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1--Embassa-
dor White at Berlin, by cable to the
State Department, has confirmed the
press report of the modification of the
decree of the German Government rela
tive TO the importation into Germany
of American fresh fruits.
1t is said there is now nothing to do
on our part hut to watch the workings of
the decree as a means of testing the
spirit in which IL was conceived, wheth
er it was framed with the single pur-
pose of keeping out diseased fruit, or
whether IL was not a mere pretext to
prevent the competition of our fruit
with that of the German production.
That the department has reason TO sus-
pect the latter is evidenced from the
report that comes to ii from Consul
Barnes at Cologne, in which the Consul
points out gross discrimination there
against American hams
In connection with the subject of ex-
clusion of American products from
Germany, il may be stated as fact Of
interest that the United States has
had for some time past a complaint
against Germany, which il has treated
in spirit of courtesy and patience, in
marked contrast with the action of the
last decree. and putting it in operation
without the slightest notice to our
ambassador. This complaint touches
the integrity of German wines, which
are imported into the United States in
quantities SO great as to make the vol
ume of our fresh fruit trade with Ger
many insignificant by comparison.
The State Department having had its
attention directed 10 the statements of
eminent experts in Germany relative
10 the great adulteration of these wines
laid the matter before the German Gov
eminent, and courteously afforded IL an
opportunity TO defend the character of
the wines. Only a brief and unsatisfac-
tory answer has been received SO far.
and although this occurred two years
ago. our Government has not VET in
sisted upon taking radical action
though, automatically speaking. the
question is still open.

RATES TO ALASKA.
Western Roads Again Take Up the
Question.

CHICAGO, Feb. Z. - The Western
roads again took up the question Of
rates to Alaska to-day, when Vice
President Stubs of the Southern Pa
cific arrived in the city. 1t was the
concensus of opinion that the roads
could not allow the Canadian Pacific
to have any advantage over the Amer
lean roads in the matter of rates to
Alaska. and it was also the general
opinion that it was eminently desirable
to have a conference with the Canadian
Pacific. and to see if some method can
not be devised by which the rates can
be kept from further decentralization.
A telegram signed by a general OIL
Ger OF each OF the following lines.

Northern Northern Pacific and the

Shaughnessy of the Canadian Pacific.
saying that all efforts to induce Gen.
eral Passenger Agent McNicoll of the
Canadian Pacific to consent to a con-
ference had been fruitless, and asking
if it could not be arranged for an ex-
ecutiye official of the Canadian Pa
cific to meet and confer with the gen.
eral officers of the other roads in Chi

SUTR0 MENTALLY INCOMPETENT.
SO DECLARED BY A JUDGE OF
THE SUPERIOR COURT.
A Daughter Of the Ex-Mayor APP
pointed Guardian Of His Per-
son and Vast Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7-Adolph
Sutro, ex- Mayor of San Francisco and
builder of the famous Sutro tunnel has
been adjudged mentally incompetent by
Superior Judge Belcher His daughter,
Dr. Emma Sutro- Merritt, who has been
in constant professional attendance on
her father for many months past, has
been appointed guardian of his person
and estate, her bonds being fixed at
$4,000 Her two brothers and her
sister, who reside in this city, became
sureties on the bond.
Mr.. Sutro is over so years of age, and
the loss of his mental faculties is at
tributed to the weight of years, COM
bined with the effects of two strokes of
apoplexy which he has suffered within
the past few months.
The petition to have his daughter APP
pointed his guardian was made by Col
onel Little, manager of the Sutro prop
critics. after the members of the fam
lily and their attorneys had decided that
such a step was necessary.
The effect the withdrawal of NJ.
Sutro from business may have upon the
various enterprises with which he was
connected is a matter to be determined
by the family council and the lawyers
His interests are SO vast and diversified
that the manner of their disposition is
a matter of great moent. The greater
part of his fortune is in real estate. In
San Francisco alone he owns over 500
acres of land-about one-eighth of the
taxable area of the entire county
Among other valuable holdings are the
Sutro electric road, the Sutro library
and CariollS stacks of gilt-eG0e bonds
IN the present condition of the real es-
tate market it is rather difficult to ap-
praise the value of his local realty. but
conservative estimate places it at
little under $4.00O,000. The Sutro
baths alone cost nearly 81 100000
Mr. Sutro is a native of Germany,

WOODFORD'S INSTRUCTIONS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Inquiry at

that no instructions additional to those
under which he was acting in relation
to the termination of the war in Cuba
have been sent to Minister Woodford,

to the Spanish office last Saturday, as
has been reported. He was simply car
rying cut the instructions of the Presi-

stract in his annual message to Con-
gress when it assembled in December
last. 1t is not believed that there have
been any steps of great Importance IN

the latter would have cabled the fact

Excitement ona Benwood Car, On the
South Side, by the Violent Actions
Of a Passe0ger---An Attempt to
Rob.

Considerable excitement was created in
the vicinity of Thirty-third street yester-
day afternoon by the violent actions Of a
man that was taken from south bound
Benwood car. On the road down town the
conductor noticed the man acting strange
ly, and soon the passenger could not be
controlled. The man was strongly con-
vulsed and seemed to be in great pain
He became so violent that the car was
stopped at Thirty-third street and he was
taken to Haskins' S hospital.
1t required nearly half a dozen men to
hold him, and he frequently succeeded IN
breaking away from them. At the hos
pftal Drs. Haskins and Cracraft both
worked with the patient and after some
time succeeded in quieting him by the use
of sedatives 1t was considerable time be-
fore the man regained his senses. He
gave his name at Burt Redlan, and said
he had been working for the Pfttsburg
bridge company on a contract at the
Laughlin mill, Martins Ferry.
1t was the opinion of DIR. Haskins that
the man had been drinking and had been
drugged, presumably for the purpose of
robbery as he had considerable sum of
money in his clothing. Redlan said he
had been drinking in several saloons, but
thinks he knows where he was dragged.
He stopped at several places until his
mind became clouded, and he got on car
to go to Benwood.

THE rnIRrEEN noopoo.

Superstitious folks referring to the
recent accident to the Massachusetts
point out that there are thirteen let
tiers in the ships name Moreover,
they say, the letter IN" is the thir-
tenth letter of the alphabet, and that
no ship could be expected to get along
smoothly with such a hoodoo.
This latter fact, also, was cited by
the superstitious in the case of the
Inflated Maine. Indeed, it is said that
naval officers are apprehensive lest
this superstition be not something to
be feared.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun, however, knocks the thirteen hoo
doc theory to eternal smithereens by
citing the fact known to every school,
boy of nine or ten that this country
was organized by thirteen original
States, and, therefore, from the point
of view taken ~ the superstitious,
should be the most Inflated nation on
the face of the earth, while the facts
prove it to be the most blest with
good fortune.
