NEW RAILROAD FOR CHINA
The First American Line to Traverse
the Flowery Kingdom.

William Barclay Parsons, a civil en-
gineer Of national reputation, left here
yesterday for China for the purpose Of
making a reconnaissance for a railroad
from Hankow, on the Yangtse-Kiang
to Hongkong. a distance of about $50
miles. The concession that has been
granted by the Chinese Government to
an American syndicate covers the build
ing of the road between the points men,
toned, together with certain branches to
coal mines and neighboring districts.
The chief promoters OF the enterprise
are Senator Calvin s. Brice, ex-Vice
President Morton, several representatives
of the Standard OIL Company, the Cen
tral Trust Company of New York and q
number Of New York's largest private
banking houses. The Chinese Govern
ment is to repay the syndicate the cost
OF the work. and q certain percentage on
that cost for profit. Then the syndicate
is to have charge of the operation of the
road for a period of forty-flve years.
taking 20 per cent of the net profits, the
balance going to a Chinese company. At
the end of that period the Chinese COM
pany will have complete possession of the
road.
This IS absolutely the first American
railroad enterprise In China, and If sue
cessful will undoubtedly pave the way for
many more The total >aIlroad mileage
in China at the present time will not ex-
coed $50 miles, and those lines are located
in the north near Picking.

NOT READY TO REPORT
rs SAID TO BE WAITING FOR
MORTON.

Certain peculiar actions on the part OF
the Finance Committee of the Board OF
Supervisors are beginning to attract at
tention. The committee has persistently
declined to present to the board resolu-
ton segregating the funds OF the various
departments. although four meetings
have been held since the tax levy was
fixed. 1t is customary for the Supervis-
ors to formally aggregate the funds at
the meeting following the fixing OF the
levy Last year there was some delay,
owing to the turmoil occasioned by the
claims of two rival boards, but In bs6 the
apportioAment or segregation was or
dered on September Is, while IN 1880 IL was
adopted on September 3.
according to the understood programme
of the Finance Committee this year, th ne
segregation will not take place until
Monday, November 7, or possibly until
Monday, November IA. The lateness OF
this date is without precedent in the an
statement now IN circulation that the de-
lay is caused by the absence OF SuperVis-
or Morton from the city. His thirty day
leave of absence expires on november q,
and the next meeting OF the Supervisors
takes place on the 7th. 1t is alleged that
the vote Of Morton is wanted to erect
certain radical changes in the schedule
as heretofore prepared for apportioning
the Sc O55 555 03 of the tax levy, and to
which the board agreed prior TO the de-
parture of Mr.; Morton Tor the Eas ST..
her 26 II was expected that the Finance
Committee would report the customary
resolution, segregating the funds. But
the committee reported that 1t was not
ready Again, on October g., the Super
yisors met and the committee had no
resolution to offer. The same thing hap
pened on October TO- Again the commit
tee held back The fact attracted atten-
tfon in connection with the action of the
majority of the board In voting to lay
over until November consideration Of
no veto
II has been discovered that the Finance
Committee prepared over three weeks
ago a resolution segregating the funds,
and that the same has been held in wait
inr-for Smith. That there is deal on
is evident from the symptoms of the
case. but the Supervisors in the conf
dence of the committee keep their own
counsels, despite certain sensational
stories that are being circulated regard
ing their intentions. 1t is frequently stat
ed that the closing sessions of the present
Board Of Supervisors will probably be pro-
life in 1obbery, but the facts remain to
be developed It is safe to say however.
that there will be some changes in the
present schedule for segregating the
funds. and that money for unexpected ex-
nenditures will be found by slicing from
other prearranged appropriations. The
Board OF Health will not be the gamer by
the deal as the committee has already
Informally stated that 1t will not recon-
mend a larger appropriation for the

HEARST ACCORDED
A LEGAL WELCOME
MET BY LAWYERS AND WAR
RANTS WITHOUT NUMBER.
His Return VIII Materially Add to
the Court Calendars, Both
Civil and Criminal.

It is evident the stay in this city of
William f. Hearst, the proprietor of the
San Francisco Examiner, will not be a
pleasant one II his experience of yester-
day can be taken as any criterion. He re-
ceived numerous calls from process serv-
ers, who thrust complaints for damages
upon him, the aggregate of which, If col
lected, would soon bankrupt him.
The coming of Mr. Hearst was the OPP
portunity for numerous aggrieved per-
sons to gain satisfaction, and yesterday
lawyers and stenographers were busily
him into court.
Chief Lees was the first to pay the re-
turned newspaper proprietor visit. He
held warrant for the arrest of Mr..
Hearst on a charge of criminal libel,
sworn to by Claus Spreckels. Mr.. Hearst
allowed himself to be served and hand
1t to the City Prison. where the charge
was entered on the register.
Martin Kelly filed an affidavit with the
Grand Jury asking for the indictment
Hearst in a deposition used in the trial
for criminal libel Mr. Hearst charged
Mr.. Kelly with stealing a fire engine and
disposins OF it In San Jose. In deliver
ing Its opinion the court decided that the
Kelly seeks to have Mr.. Hearst indicted.

tor of the Examiner for $4,000 fol. in

Ex-senator w. J. Dunno will this morn
ing see that Mr. Hearst is served with
the complaint and summons in the s25. 0o0

Consequence They Cannot
Hold Office.
The "Hefting" Mayors Little Scheme to Beat One
Half Of the City Ont Of Representation
Fails Because It Is Fraud.

his satellites with the old cry of the
schoolboy You are another. 1t
gravely announces that five Republi-
can candidates have also changed their
residences and gone into wards and
registered Illegally. On this statement
it justifies the action Of the "hefting"
Mayor, claiming that these five men
are doing exactly what The Call showed
had been done by the Democrats.
The Call has no sympathy with the
men who will attempt to gain political
preferment through fraud Of any kind,
and it announced yesterday, before any
charge was made against a single Re
publican, that II any man had regis
tered Illegally or had changed his resi-
dence Illegally, whether he be Demo-
crat, Populist, Republican or of any
other party" his name should be taken
from the ticket. 1t is the duty Of Mr..
Biggy to cite these men TO appear and
show cause why their names should
not be stricken from the great register.
The Call has shown conclusively that
five men on the Democratic ticket are
attempting to get office through fraud.
They f1aunt their effrontery in the
faces of honest voters. and in this are
aided and abetted by James D. Phelan,
the "holier than thou candidate for
Mayor who says that the Democrats Of
the Third. Fifth, Seventh, Ninth and
Tenth wards are not honest or fit
men.
These men have violated the law,
they have lost their right of suffrage
and are ineligible for Office. Yet, in
the face of this, PheIan. the man who
counted Widber's cash by netting" the
bags of dummies, the man who said
SternbeTg should be imprisoned for life
for similar act, says that these men
are doing right and are better than
any man in almost half of the city.

DIRECTOR BURNS IN COURT.
School Building Fraud Cases Again
Continued for a Week-Will
Fla Dam 11rrrar.

The cases of School Director Burns, In
spector O'Brien, Contractor Swift and
Registration Clerk Graham, charged with
conspiracy in defrauding the city by pre-
senting false and fraudulent accounts for
lumber for school buildings, were called
in Judge Lows court yesterday morning.
Attorney Riordan, on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS, asked for continuance for a
week as it was intended to file a demur-
rer to the complaint. Prosecuting Attor-
new Reynolds said he was ready to pro-
coed. but he had no desire to act dis
courteously to the defendants and would
consent to the continuance on the dis
tinct understanding that no other con-
trnuance would be granted. This was
satisfactory to the defense, and the cases
we're continued until next Friday.

PROF. VAN DER NAILLLN HOME.
He Made a Thorough Study of the
Wireless Telegraphic System.

Professor A. Van der Naillen, Mrs. Van
der Naillen and their daughter Rena
have inst returned from a seven months
tour through Europe. The professor has
visited the principal schools of mines and
universities tof France and Belgium,
and he states that our California institu-
tons are equal and in many respects SUI
perior to them, especially by their prac-
teal methods, If not in their extended
theories. The Electro-Technical Institute
Montefiore OF LIege, Belgium, he finds a
school of superior merit. In 1t he stud
led the new system of telegraphy without
wires. aiming at preventing collisions at
sea between vessels during dense fogs.
The professor states that accidents like
the one which sent the French liner La
Bourgoyne to the bottom can now be
avoided, as wireless telegraphy can trans
NIT signals at sea during the densest fog
and real telegraphic messages can be ex,
changed at seven miles.

was expressive of the prevailing senti-

nothing left of yesterdays sanguine an

awakening resentment Wall Street
