BRADSTREETvS REPORT.

tomorrow will say:
The favorable features of the week in
d.stributive trade have been the report
coming, with few exceptions, from all
parts of THE West and Northwest and
marred only by the check to business
and shipments caused by heavy rains
and high water IN the Ohio valley. The
unsettled condition of our relations with
Spain is credited with exercising some
effect Ilpon immediate demands and
upon future undertakings in the east
ern portion of the country, but the two
industries, cotton and W0OlenS, most
complaining are those in which condi-
tons other than foreign complications
have for some time past been working
toward depression. The coarse cotton

The Japanese can entertain no kindly feeling for Germany, seeing that the lat ter power combined with Russia and Shimonoseki treaty and to deprive the Mikado of that foothold on the Chinese mainland which both Russia and Ger many have since acquired, It is clearly. also, for the advantage of the Japanese that, if they cannot themselves possess the Philippines, those islands should fall to the United States, which has no desire to despoil the Chinese empire, rather than to power like Germany, whose designs have been disclosed by the occupation of Kiaochau. To England 1t is of manifest importance that a group of islands which lies between Hongkong. and Singapore should not be controlled by the German Emperor, whose colonial aspirations can not be easily reconciled with the main- tenance and extension of England'S com mercial prosperity.

 The chances are that the outcome of a war between the United States and Ger many would be, for the latter country, the loss of her colonial possessions and of the laboriously constructed navy upon which such high hopes have been based. Such a war would be, moreover, extremely dis tasteful to the German people, owing to the increase in taxation. the rise in price of food staples, and the debarment of Ger man commodities from all markets be- yond the sea For these reasons we do not believe there is any probability of an attempt on the part of Germany to inter- fere with our occupation of the Philip pines.-New York Sun.

GERMANY's GAINS AND LOSSES.

There Is no reason to doubt the ability of Admiral Dewey to cope with the Ger man warships now In his neighborhood. and although eventually the number of these may be somewhat increased. our own fleet will be shortly re-enforced by the Charleston, the Monterey and the Monadnock After the destruction or cap- ture of the Spanish vessels now cooped up in the harbor of Santiago, the ships under Admiral Sampson would be abundantly able to deal with any naval force that Germany could place in the Atlantic We may take for granted, therefore, that Kaiser William II would not begin hos tilities against us unless he were assured of allies among the maritime powers Pre- sumably, he might count upon Austria whose naval strength, however is but slight, and it is possible that he might be supported by Italy, the other member of the triple. alliance. It is, on the other hand, highly improbable that France would combine With her worst enemy to injure the United States, or that Russia would renounce the advantages of friend- ship with this repubnc for the sake of helping Germany to gain coign of van tage in the Philippines.
 It Is certain, finally, that there are two powers, the aid or countenance of which could not be secured by the German Elm peror, >nd which, in the event of a gen. eral WET, would be impelled by their own interests to side with the United States.

 OFFICES.
The Southern California Delegation Leaves fo- Sacramento With Body Guard of
 Democrats.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

| LOS ANGELES, July 9.-The Populist | delegation from Southern California to l the State convention left this city this | evening for Sacramento, to be on hand l early and take part in the contest over | organizing either for or against fusion. The delegates were accompanied by the | following prominent Silver Republicans and Democrats: Nathan Cole Jr., Na- tionai Committeeman from California for
 the Silver Republican party; F. J. Cooper, secretary of the State Committee of the
 same party, and Sutherland Hutton, chairman of the County Committee. Dr. R. w. Hill, chairman of the Democratic County Committee, will be on hand.
 Most of the delegations from southern counties are for fusion. Their plan is to
 nominate James G. Mcguire for Governor,
 by exclamation if possible. The Populists
 will make nominations for Lieutenant Governor, State Controller and State Su-
 oerintendent of Public Instruction. The
 Silver Republicans will ask the opulists to nominate two Silver Republicans. They
 want Judge Walter Van Dyke of this
 county for Associate Justice of the Su- preme Court and H. A. McCrancy of Sac
 tary of the Silver Republican National Committee, named for Secretary of State. This would leave the Democrats nine places on the State ticket, counting Ma guire as a Democrat.
 The Populist delegation from this county will present the name of Edward L. Hut crimson, a member of the City Council here, for Lieutenant Governor. The idea Is to give the State Committee power to fill all vacancies and after the nomina- Popuists are simply to leave blank eight nominations accorded to the Democrats.

IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN FOR
 THEM.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Collis P. Hunting ton, president of the Southern Pacific Company, when interviewed regarding the bearing of the proposed plan of a Gen. tral Pacific settlement on the affairs of the company, said:
 We have not made up our minds what we had better do. The bill gives some little time to fix the matter up with the Government, and many things are likely to happen in twelve months. My inn pression is there will be some arrange ment arrived at satisfactory to both the Government and to the shareholders
 II have myself been pretty busy with the road. In fact, I built it. My in terests are still largely identified with It. I have some shares for which I was at one time offered 7613, but I did not want money and did not sell them. I have always faith that people can obtain just about the right thing if they go about 1t in the right way. There seems to be some complaint in London about me, but l myself know that I am doing the best I can for the shareholders. All the trans ruptcy twice except Mir. Hi1ls Great Northern. 1 have the Central Pacific al- ways in position where 1t has paid its bills. except to the Government, and l may add right here that when the Gen. tral Pacific bond bills were passed b, Congress in 1862 and amended in 1864, no one supposed that anything would be paid the Government more than the services rendered the Government. If these ser vices taken into consideration 1t would be found that the Government had been paid far and above its investment.
 "I am looking out more particularly for shareholders. We want to take care of them. The Government has received B in benefits for every s1 it advanced in the construction of the road. There are some people in Congress who make 1t their bus mess to tear down things, but the share holders of the Central Pacific should cer- tainly be paid and I have every hope that they will be paid.
 As l have already said, believe the bill will lead to something else. Our Gov ernment destroyed the Central Pacific It gave the Northern Pacific and the Allan tic Pacific land grants twice the value of those given the Central Pacific. In build ing those other two roads it did not in- crease the business to be carried, and, transportation rates. There is not bust ton meant death to the earnings of the Central Pacific, but when we get Central Pacific affairs adjusted we can run in eventually. I believe, Central Pacific shares will get back to their best price"

SAN RAFAEL, July 9.-Tt anDears that seeing the law in pooIroon casas as others want them to see it is not the only weakness to be laid at the door oI Justices of the Peace in Sausalito Late tnls evening the Board of Super visors adjourned its session until the 1Sth lnst., weary and indignant. The cause or It's extra labor was due wholly to certain practices of the Justices. the worst worst oelng that of running up bills without any material gain accruing 10 the people. District Attorney Mar t1nelli was kept busy all yesterday and to-day examining these bills and con ferring about them with the board. Tn explaining the matter he said:
 Arrests appear to be made in Sausa nto without any good reason whatever. The docket for the past three months shoWS some seventy arrests, most of them being for vagrancy. The shallow ground for the arrests is shown from the fact that the docket shows nurner ous entries on which persons were re- leased on agreeing to leave town. This is not a final disposition of a case bv any means. But if we made a protest. then they would send everybody ar rested here and swamp the County Jail, so Supervisors are powerless to remedy the evil, fragrant though 1t is"
 The Supervisors are considerably worried over this leak in the county finances, for each of the seventy cases costs the taxpayers about $7 30, making a total of over $500 for the three months. There was only one case that could be partially remedied Justice Bellrude overstepped the legal limit and had $36 clipped off his bill of $237.

It re- suited in a walkover for Golf It was the Westerners first appearance in the East, and he won the admiration of every one.
 In the first two rounds neither went at it very hard. In the third Golf landed frequently on his opponent He planted three left jabs on Hennessy's face. and when the gong sounded the latter was not anxious to continue. When time was called for the next round he refused to go on. This action on the part of Hennessy increased the admiration for his opponent, who never lost his temper during the bout and showed himself a born fighter.
