AGoNCILLo's LATEST PROTEST

PARIS, Dec. 16.-It is learned that Agoncillo, the representative of AgCi- naldo, the Philippine leader, has lodged strongly worded protest with the American Peace Commission, which thus becomes part of the records. It begins with saying th>t "The very noble and gallant General Aguinaldo, President of the Philippine republic" has honored him with the post of off cial representative to the very honcr- able President of the United States" Agoncillo then reviews the case at length, saying that at the time of i'm ploring the armed cooperation of Aguinaldo and the other Philippine chiefs both the commander of the Pe trel, Captain Wood, in Hongkong, be- fore the declaration of war, and the American Consuls-G General Pratt in Singapore, Wildman at Hongkong and Williams at Cavite, acting as the in ternational agents of the great nation, in the moment of anxiety, offered to recognize the independence of the Fili- pinO nation"
 The protests then recite how Admiral Dewey by numerous acts" is alleged to have recognized the autonomist sovereignty of he Filipinos." and in picturesque language calls forth the promises and a fulillment ''of the sol emn declarations made by the illustri- ous William Mckinley that on going to war he was not guided by the inten- ton of an extension of territory, but only by the principles of humanity, by the duty of liberating tyrannized peo- ples. and by the desire to proclaim the unalienable rights with their sover- eighty of countries released from the woke Of SnaiO

 In common with the Hampton Institute In Virginia, the TuSkegee Institute has been and is to-day of inestimable value in sowing the seeds of good citizenship. Institutions of their standing and worthy patronage form steadier and more. pow erful agency for the good of all good con cerned than any yet proposed or suggested. The practical Is here associated with the academic, which encourages both learn race has a monopoly upon knowledge. Some have easier and necessarily better opportunities for self-development. What we can obtain here free most have to pay for perhaps by hardships, labor, mental struggles and difficulties. In this coun- try all can have the opportunity for bet tering themselves, provided they exercise intelligence and perseverance and their motives and conduct are worthy. No where are such facilities for universal education found as in the United States. They are accessible to every boy and girl, white or black.
 To the pupils here assembled I extend my especial congratulations that the fa- cilities for advancement afforded to them are so numerous and so inviting. Those who are here for the time being have the reputation of the institution in charge, and should, therefore, be all the more careful to guard it worthiy. Others who have gone before you have made great sacri- fees to reach the present results. What you do will affect not only those who come after you here, but many men and women whom you may never meet. The result of your training and work here will eventually be felt either directly or indirectly in nearly every part of the country.
 In comparing the past with the present you should be especially grateful that it has been your good fortune to come with in the good influences of such an in- stitution as this at Tuskegee,. and that you are under the guidance of such a strong leadeT.

TO IMPROVE THE
 MARE ISLAND, CHANNEL

WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-Commodore Endicott, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, when visited to-day by The Call correspondent, said: Tn my an- nual report, the full text of which will be published shortly, 1 recommend the improvement of the Mare Island chan nel This improvement should be com- menced at the earliest possible day. l cannot learn that the coast survey or the War Department has this work in contemplation, or has even recommend ed its being done. If the improvement of the channel should be undertaken by the War Department it would be at least two years and half before operations would begin, legislative au- thority, preliminary surveys and neces- sary appropriations first having to be secured. 1 have therefore recommended that the improvement be made by the Navy Department. If Congress shall agree at the present session to make the requisite appropriation the work could begin next summer. l have recommended an appropriation of $350,- 900 for a channel 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep at low tide. Without this en- larged channel it would be useless to construct a dry dock at Mare Island, where the law provides it shall be built, TOT our largest WdTSnlpS COulu not dp- proach the dock, except at the hour of the highest tide. The dock should be accessible to the largest battleships at any stage of tide. But if it is to be very expensive to maintain this depth of channel I think some other point on San Francisco Bay would be better If the channel can be maintained without great expense it certainly should be located at the point named by Con- gress, viz: Mare Island, where many millions have already been invested in the navy yard.
 "I have also recommended the con struction of still another dry dock on the Pacific Coast and that a board of competent officers be appointed to select site. have not suggested a location, but I think an additional dock should be chosen on the Southern California coast. Our new possessions will neces- sitate keeping a larger naval force in Pacific wat ITS. This, in itself, is an additional reason, not only for increased docking facilities on the lower Cali fornia coast. but also a good reason why the dock in San Francisco Bay should be at all times accessible to our largest ships of war"

passes will derive so much benefit The contract between the railroad company and the California Construction Com pany of San Francisco, associated with c. M. Wooster and A. K. Whitten or San Jose, under which work was com menced yesterday requires the comple- tion, equipment and delivery ready TOT operation to the railroad company Of the first two divisions of the road-that portion between Monterey and Hollis ter-as we'll as an 1SO0-foot wharf at Monterey, by the 18th of June, 1899. The people now feel that the long and un- tiring efforts of the promoters of the project have at last reached success ful continuation.
 Colonel A. w. Jones, president of the railroad company, in speaking Of the enterprise to The Call correspondent to-day, said that Senator John T. Nor gan of Alabama was really the first protector of the Monterey and Fresno Railroad During his visit to this coast in 1891 he was so imbued with the advantages of opening the, country between deep water at the bay of Monterey and the San Joaquin Valley that he journeyed across country from Monterey to Fresno and made a pub lie speech in the latter city, setting forth the advantages which, in his opinion, were to be derived from a railroad connection between the two cities.
 In 1892 correspondence was opened between prominent business men of Fresno, Hollister and Monterey and a moneyed institution of the East, as a result of which Colonel Jones was sent to California to look into and report upon the proposition. He, like Senator Morgan, was thoroughly imbued with the importance and necessity of the project, and so reported. As a conse- quence company was organized in January, 1893, with the following di- rectory: A. w. Jones, Alexander Cor don and William L. Walter of Fresno, Dr. Thomas Flint and William Palmtag of HolJister, w. J. Hill of Salinas and H. A. Greene of Monterey.
 Owing to the monetary stringency rom that period up to the present year nothing has been accomplished, except to survey and locate the road from Monterey to Fresno, obtain rights of way and terminal facilities and very valuable waterfront concession from the Trustees of the city of Mon terey. About eleven miles of the road out of Monterey has been graded.
 At the last meeting of the stock holders 1t was determined to extend the line of the road from Fresno east, in order to tap the timber and mineral belt of the Sierra Nevada, making the entire length of the road about 260 miles. The line as located runs from Monterey to Salinas, San Juan, Hol- lister. through Little Panoche Pass in the Coast Range, crossing the San Joaquin River at Firebaugh, thence direct to Fresno and Minaret Pass in the Sierra Nevada.
 The bonds of the company" said Colonel Jones, have been underwritten by syndicate of New England capi- talists and the road will be built and equipped by American capital. The en- tire remaining line will be put under contract by the time the present con- tractors complete it to Hopister, and We expect it to be finished to Fresno within the ensuing year.

MCCOY GETS THE DECISION.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16-Joe Goddard and Kid" Mccoy were the features to- night at the Arena in six-round bout. which came to an end in the fifth round by the referee disqualifying the Barrier, champion and giving the fight to Mccoy. Up to that point the fighting was un- eventful, Mccoy doing the better work. In the fifth round. after number of ex- changes. the Kid" landed a heavy right on Goddard's jaw and sent him to the floor. Goddard was on his feet in a sec ond, and the Kid" again landed on Joe s jaw and sent him to grass once more. He got to his feet again and clinched with Mccoy. They wrestled about the ring for some time. when the referee inter. posed and disqualified Goddard. He said Goddard had attempted to throw Mccoy to the floor while wrestling.
