San Francisco. Dec 27.-The defense in
the Botkin case has been closed. and the
arguments will begin tomorrow.
To-day was occupied with the introduce
4ion of testimony in rebuttal and gather
ing up of odds and ends of the testimony.
Several witnesses were recalled. DR.. Ty-
rel. who swore on a previous occasion that
he had visited Mrs: Botkin on the after
noon of Sunday, July 81, was recalled and
repeated his testimony
Maggie Smith, domestic employed in
the Victoria Hotel said DR.. Tyrel had
asked her TO direct him to Mrs. Botkins
ROOM She was positive that it was not
on a Sunday, and substantiated her state
ment by saying that she is never left in
charge of the house on Sunday. She stat
ed that she had served dinner to Mrs.
Botkin on the day in question in Mrs.
Botkins room. Miss Smith said that she
saw Mrs. Botkin return 10 the house late
that afternoon and speak to one of the
guests in the hall This testimony cor
roborated that of a previous witness.
William J. Corcorau, purser of the
steamer Farralloh, plying between this
city and Eureka, Cal, said that his YES

morning of June Is. This is the day the

Of other letters for posting, the Farral-
loh not being regular mail boat. The
anonymous letter was postmarked June IS,
at 1870 p. m. and the purser Corcoran
stated that all mail entrusted 10 him is
posted within an hour after his arrival
here. This seems to be the weakest point
in the prosecution.
Several other witnesses were examined,
and an adjournment taken until to-mor-
row morning.
Four counsel will argue and each will

DEcrDED TO PAY UNDER PROTEST.
Bull Street Property Owners Agree
Upon Their Course.

Upon Their Course.
There was meeting of several Bull
street property owners at Belfords store
last night for the purpose of further dis
cussing the paving disputes. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the claims be
paid at once, and this will probably nave
the effect of definitely settling the differ
ences.
About fifteen of the compainants organ
lied by electng D. j. Morrison chairman,
and Mr.. Norrisey secretary. There was a
brief discussion of the situation but as
there is apparently no relief further than
that already obtained it was decided to
pay the claims under protest The prop
erty owners do not entertain a very kindly
feeling toward some of the aidermanic
board, and frequent remarks by them
around showed that those actively con-
nected with the paving work are not in
the good graces of those stfll complain
ing.
I'VE are intending to pay the assess
ments right off, said Mr.. Morrsey, but
we want it distinctly understood it is un-
der protest. We are not satisfied with
the way we have been treated in this mat
ter. We do not think we have received

SWIFT ENTERS A PROTEST..
Miles Testimony on "EmbaIme d
Beef" Not Enjoyed.


Washington, Dec. N.-There were but
three members OF the war investigating
commission at its office to-day, and after
a short informal discussion the regular
session was deferred until tomorrow. No
witnesses have been summoned.
The Swift Beef Company of Chicago
has forwarded to the commission a com
muncation taking exceptions to the refiec-
tons made by Gen. Miles on the character
of the beef furnished the expeditionaIy
forces in the war. This question of the
character of the beef supply may possibly
open up rather prolonged inquiry.
Unless something unexpected should de-
Velop, however, the commission expects
to close its regular session before the
middle of January, and possibly finish up
its work entirely by Feb. /, 80 as to sub
nit its report to Congress about that time.
This is barring a possible broad investl-
cation as to the beef issue.
