THE OLD STORY.
Another Rumor Regarding the
Railroad Shops.

Every time an official of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company talks of
the probability of the company put
ting up a workshop, or a number of
shops, at any prominent point along its
thousands of miles of railroad, at once
the statement is telegraphed abroad by
some imaginative press correspondent
that the railroad shops at Sacramento
are to be removed.
This time it is Los Angeles that is
to have them. A year or two ago the
shops We're going to San Francisco,
then to Oakland, and again to Fresno.
But all the time the company goes on
enlarging its Sacramento plant by
erecting new buildings and increasing
its machinery.
Possibly the expansion Of the COM
pany's business requires more extern
sive workshops at Los Angeles, or it
may be that it really contemplates
building a cross-country line from Salt
Lake to the southern metropolis, and
has secured the land for depot build
ings and tracks.
However, the Los Angeles story tele-
graphed from there yesterday need not
cause any uneasiness in this vicinity.
This latest roorback is given publicity
by the Los Angeles Times" which is
given to taking railroad yarns.

SENT UP FOR LIFE.
Ed McComish Was Taken Up to
Folsom Yesterday

Deputy Sheriff Mcclure of Los Ange-
les passed through Sacramento yester-
day with Ed. McComish, convicted Of
murder and sentenced to Folsom State
Prison for life.
The prisoner was convicted of the
murder of Constable Pyle of Ventura
County, near the county line, between
Los Angeles and Ventura He was
supposed to be enamored of the wife
Of Pyle, a very attractive woman. He
claimed to have been robbed of a lot
Of articles by a burglar and told Pyle
that he had a clew to the robbery, and
the man committing the robbery would
pass a certain place along the railroad
track at night and could be arrested
there. Pyle went with him and was
murdered The screen which reclaimed
had been cut by the burglars proved,
on examination, to have been cut from
the inside, and a part of the property
claimed to be stolen was afterward
found The evidence was all circum-
stantial, but the jury found McComish
guilty He hopes, however, to secure a
new trial

MRS. CORDELIA BOTKIN
Arraigned Before Judge and Pleads
Not GUILTY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29-Mrs
Cordelia Botkin was formally arraigned
before Judge Cook to-day upon the in
dlctment filed by the Grand jury last
evening charging her with the murder
OF Mrs. John p Dunning of Dover
Del. No objection was made to the
Indictment. Mrs. Botkin pleaded not
guilty, and by consent her case went
over until Saturday next to be set for
trial
The Attorney General of Delaware
has instructed Detective McVey to
employ an attorney-at-law to get the
Botkin case into the United States Su-
preme Court. A writ of habeas cor
pus will be applied for by Mcvey in the
the District or Circuit Court. Should
the application be denied, an appeal
will be taken to the United States Su
preme Court.
There is only one possible obstacle to
such course. The District or Cir
cult Court which denies the application
may also refuse to allow an appeal
Such refusal is very rare, and was
held by Judge Sawyer to be beyond the
power of the lower court in habeas
corpus cases, but both the District and
Circuit Courts lately refused to permit
Durrant to appeal. They took the
ground that the request for leave to
appeal was frivolous, and made with
intent to hinder and delay the course of
justice.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Wheelman McNeary Collides With
a Vehicle.

R. A. McNeary last evening met with
an accident which may impress upon
his intellect the necessity of henceforth
respecting the ordinance regulating
the riding Of BICYCLES on the public
streets.
McNeary was pedaling rapidly down
K street, on the south (and wrong) side,
and when about midway between Ninth
and Tenth streets he collided with
vehicle going up and on the proper
side.
McNeary came out second best in the
mix-up. The front wheel of his bicycle
was wrecked almost beyond recogni
ton, and he was hurled to the street.
When picked up he had a long deep
cash over one eye, his nose was broken
and leaning over his left cheek and
he was otherwise bruised. He was
taken to the Receiving Hospital, where
his injuries were attended to by Assist
ant City Physician Ogden.

visits to European courts filled with
sinister ideas against British tutelage.
But every act of petulancy has been
met with an iron hand.
The news received this week from the
Far East has been of a somewhat dis
,quieting nature. 1t appears that the
European residents of Pekin are in a
state of alarm at the drafting into that
city of large bodies of Chinese troops
as counterpoise to the recent arrival
there of the guards Of the foreign le-
gion. The native soldiers are very tur-
bulent, and, coupled with the anti-for-
eign riots at Canton, the situation has
caused great uneaSineSs among the
foreigners, who number about $50. In
response to the demand Of the dipio-
mats, the Tsung Ii Yamen has prom
ised to remove the soldiers, who are
mostly Mohammedans, and who openly
declare their intention Of driving out
the foreign devils" But the fulfill
ment of the promise of the Tsung Ii
Yamen offers considerable difficulty, as
the only force capable of overawing
the Chinese troops at Pekin is the for
eign drilled force in the neighborhood
OF Tien Tsin, commanded by General
Yuan Shek Hal, who, however, is
dreaded by the palace, and may be re-
garded as practically holding the desti-
nies Of China in his hand.
The convention providing for the
lease of Wei Hal Wei to Great Britain
is published to-day. 1t provides that
Chinese troops and warships may use

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Administration Will Urge It's Con-
struction by Government Aid.

NEW YORK, Oct. pa special to
the Herald from Washington says:
It is the intention of the Administra-
ton to urge the construction of the
Nicaraguan Canal by Government aid
in connection with the concession of
the Maritime Canal Company.
The statement was made by an Off
cial of the Administration, and that
Edward Frye and Frank S. Washburn
Of New York had entered into an
agreement with President Zelaya to
construct an inter- oceanic canal.
I'm order that the management will
he effective" said the official with
whom conversation was held, 'it will
be necessary to have it ratified by the
Nicaraguan Government and the Costa
Rican Government. Costa Rica and
Nicaragua are not good enough friends
for the former to ratify any act Of the
Executive and the Congress OF Near
aqua. It was a hard task for the mari
time company to secure the concession.
81 am sure the President would pre-
fer the maintenance OF the statu quo.
There are now two bills pending IN
Congress providing for the aid for the
construction of the canal, and one OF
these will probably be passed during
the coming session. 1t would be inju-
dicious to throw any obstacles in the
way Of the construction of the canal at
this time by indorsing the concession
Of the new company, when work will
be commenced in accordance with the
terms Of the old concession, and will
be prosecuted vigorously once Govern
ment aid is given"
Rear Admiral Walker, Chairman of
the Nicaraguan Canal Commission, ex-
poets to submit the report of the COM
mission regarding the feasibility and
cost Of the proposed canal during De-
cember. The commission will not go
out Of existence. The cost OF the canal,
according to the latest information,
will be higher than was believed before
the last engineering party came from
Nicaragua, and it is now placed at
between $11O,OOO,OOO and S125, OOOO 600.
The canal is perfectly feasible, accord
ing to members Of the commission. No
great difficulty will be experienced in
constructing the Ochea dam, concern
ing which the Ludlow board apparent
ly had grave doubts.

The Game Far From Exciting, Being One
Sided From Start to Finish.
The Berkeley Men the Stronger
Throughout, While the Stan
fords Went to Pieces in the
First Scrimmage, and Offered
Poor Resistance to the On
slaught of Their Opponents
Score, Twenty-One to Nothing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-About
5000 people saw the University of CAL
ifornia freshmen defeat the Stanford
freshmen in game of football in Rec
reation Park to-day by a score Of u to
o. The game was far from exciting
being one-sided from start to finish
Four times the Berkeley boys touched,
rushed and trampled on their cardinal
rivals until the game was all over but
the shouting.
Both teams appeared in good form.
The Berkeley men were the stronger
throughout, and played a better game
than was expected even by their
friends; while the Stanford team went
to pieces in the first scrimmage, and
offered such poor resistance to the on
slaught of their opponents that the lat
ter part of the contest became almost a
farce. They realized that their only
safety lay in punting, and even in that
their kicks were returned with big
gains.
Womble, the right end Of the Univer-
sity Of California team, played like
fined, and displayed great headwork
The three -backs-Moore, Smith and
L1ppman-put up as pretty a game as
was ever seen among freshmen. Moore
especially, showed up in great form
For Stanford, Rice did little to re-
l1eve the monotony of defeat. as he
managed to make few good runs. The
game at any time was easily Berkeley's.
The line up was as follows:
Stanford-Sell, left end; Beedy. left
tackle; Eaton, left guard; Gage, center;
cairns, right guard; Webber, right
tackle; Rice, right end; Cooper, quar-
ter; Friselle, left half; Downing, right
