IF IT is war that we must have with
Spain, the interesting features will not
be altogether IN the armed battalliOns
or where the steel monsters of the sea
vomit forth fire and iron. The Ameri-
can Congress will be theatre for some
operations that will be read by future
generations with warm blood. The
matter Of raising the sinews Of war is
always lively and prolific question
The bond holding patriots, the gam
blers in gold, of whom Lincoln said he
wished they all had their Internal
heads shot off, ;" are always active, in
huential lobbyists and usually succeed
in impressing their patriotism on the
financial legislation. Last week q
little brush occurred in the Senate
which indicates place where clash
will come. A question was asked how
the revenue for the war will be raised
when Mark Hanna replied, II will tell
you how we will raise it, sell bonds,
interest and principle payable in gold"
At this Senator Ceckerell, fired up with
righteous ire and gave him to under
stand that no such legislation could pass
the Senate, and it can't, The presi-
dent and Tom Reed may favor it, but
it can't get by the Senate. Here then
Is the puzzling question as to what form
such legislation will take.

BILLY MORGAN evidently thought
he made a sharpedged hit the other
day in long editorial endeavOring to
show the inconsistency of popocratic
papers condemning the intrinsic value
theory of money and then saying that
Spain can't fight much because she has
no money. Well, all we say is that we
don't say that. We say she can't
fight long because she has no uncovered
resources or strength of government

An Oaklander Claims an
 English Estate.
TO MAKE A STRONG FIGHT.
ATTORNEY RANDOLPH WILL
 GO TO LONDON.
Nearly Fifty Millions Are Said to Be at Stake in the Contest That Will Shortly
 Begin.

Attorney J. B. Randolph of Oakland will start for London in a few days for the purpose of appearing before British chancery courts to lay claim to several estates aggregating many millions.
 The claimants to the sums that have long lain awaiting their owners do not all live at Oakland, though several of the heirs are residents of Alameda County.
 "One of the most important claims un- der way,,s said MT. Randolph yesterday, lis that of William F. Barker, who is a nephew of the late Sir John T. Barker of Belfast, who committed suicide some years ago. The old man married the Countess Of MelroSe, and part of the tie.
 "One of the claimants was George T. Barker, a cousin of my client. George recently died in the Missouri penitentiary where he was serving a life term for shooting man whom he found in com pany with his 1ancee. Now that he is dead my client is the chief American claimant, and I have letters from eminent legal sources in London that give me confidence that we will have little trouble in winning the case.''
 It appears that about all that Is neces- sary to settle the case in favor of the Oakland claimant. according to advices received from London, is proof of the his mothers marriage. Sir William Humphreys, we'll known London bar rister, has had charge of the affairs of the claimant in England. He awaits the arrival of Attorney Randolph, who ex- poets to reach London in a few weeks with proofs that will make the case smooth sailing. The genealogical proofs of the case run back as far as 1913, and the Oakland claimant says he has a com plete copy of the family records in a safe deposit bank in this city.
 MT. Barker thinks the value of the estate is not far from fifty millions. He says he has every assurance of winning the entire amount. As he is a great spiritualist, he says he will spend millions in erecting spiritualist temple in Los Angeles if he Is fortunate enough to suc- ceed in the litigation that is now taking Attorney Randolph to London.

 In the appointed time by Woodward S stop watch that had been held on so many races that lost, she was back with just $500 in nice new bills.
 In answer to his question as to where she got the money, she said: 1T went to the office of Jay Gould gave him a song and dance, my promissory note; and-you see the rest''
 They jumped out of New York in "jig time" as she expresses 1t, and came to California, where Woodward got the agency of a liquor house Though get ting good salary, his habits caused him to become an embezzler, and in less than twelve months he was behind in accounts over $40o0
 Just eight years ago he was arrested at the Galindo Hotel, Oakland, and lodged at the old City Prison in this city Dur ing the many months of his incarceration the youthful wife was his constant com panion.
 In fact, her attention was so constant that Captain Stone of the prison saw fit to fnterpose, but Chief Crowley oyerruled him, and, locating at neighboring hotel. she kept constant vigilance over her inn prfsoned husband, becoming known as '.the beautiful brunette of mystery" be- cause she was never known to speak to any one save the man who handled the keys at the prison door.

DECISIONS ON
 INTERNAL REVENUE. MAY MAKE WINE WITHOUT TAX.
A Woman's Husband May Sell Liquor Under the License Is-
 sued to His Wife.

Internal Revenue Collector Lynch has been notified of the following decisions of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue:
 Where grapes are pressed at one place and the juice is then carried to another place and there fermented, the latter IS the place of manufacture of the wine. and the manufacturer is there permitted by the provisions of section 3246 Revised Stat utes to sell 1t without paying special tax.
 A special stamp tax taken by woman as retail liquor dealer in her own name Is sufficient for the same business con- ducted by her husband who takes charge of 1t upon her retirement therefrom He Is not required to pay special tax ana take out stamp in his own name because of the fact that a town license was re- fused to her but issued to him.
 The fact that a person is an authorized liouor dealer under the internal revenue laws does not prevent him from engaging also in the compounding of medicines; and if he does so using spirits in combination with roots herbs or drugs, and sells the compound only under label speclfylng the diseases for which it Is held out as remedy, he is an apothecary within ddil the exempting provision of section 3246, Re- yised Statutes.

CANTON CERTIFICATES.
Their Validity Will Be Determined by Test Case Begun Yesterday
 in the District Court.

Sixty-one Chinese arrived on the Doric recently with what are designated as No. or Canton certificates, which state that the person whose name and description it bears is a merchant and entitled to land. The exclusion act of 1884 prescribes that the certificate shall state, among other things, the nature, character and estt- mated value of the bearers business.
 The treaty with China which was rati- fled in 1894 prescribes that the immigran mt must have certificate, but does not re- quire the nature, character and estimated value of the business to be stated. It is contended by the Chinese that, the treaty being of later birth than the statute, su- perSedes 1t wherever the statute comes in conflict with it and that therefore that portion of the statute requiring the state ment of the nature, character and esti- mated value of the business of the appli- cant need not be regarded as in effect; in other words, that 1t has been repealed by the provisions of the treaty.
 In order to settle the matter, the Col lector of the Port determined to make a test case, and. in accordance with this arrangement, one of the siXty-one immi- grants was allowed to land, and was inn mediately arrested on the ground that he is illegally in the country. He will pre- sent his Canton certificate to United States District Judge de Haven, and the matter will be argued and submitted on law points.

Mrs. HenVis' WhirlS on
 Fortunes Wheel.
FROM RICHES TO POVERTY
IN SEARCH OF AN HEIR TO A
 LARGE ESTATE.
She Was the Beautiful Brunette of Mystery" of the Old City Prison-Borrowedo of Jay
 Gould.

The life of Mrs. L. L. Henvis, formerly Mrs. Rene Woodward, seems to have been laden with romance from the time she was 16 years of age up to date. At the age mentioned she was half or phan and possessed of property valued at $80, 900 in her own right, all located in her native city of Minneapolis. It was left by her mother to be held by her father in trust until she became of age, or was married no matter when The mother had not been dead more than six months, when Rene Woodward, a member of one of Kentucky's best fam flies, passed through Minneapolis fresh from the University of Michigan He stopped over with friend, and there met Miss Bartlett, for that was her maiden name.
 It was love at first sight, and they were married two days later, the young man bringing home a bride instead of sheepskin, greatly to the annoyance of his parents. The young wife grew angry at her reception, and informed her hus- band of her independent fortune. Rene was horse fancier. and sporty boy' who knew just what to do with inde- pendent fortunes. Good luck followed for a couple of years, and he more than doubled the riches of his wife by follow ing the races. She became a gambler with him, and they plunged together un- til they plunged through every cent, fin- ally waking up at the Hoffman House, New York, penniless.
 They were in strange house and in a strange city. Woodward wanted to sui eide by the gas route.

Fisk, to a note for over s3O0O. and sen fenced to five years in San Quentin. Through the intervention of his wife, he did not go across the bay, but was par doned by Governor Markham after two and a half years in Branch County Jail 2. When he got out he found his faithful spouse without funds. That did not suit him, so he left her to her fate and took to racetrack touting. Mrs. Woodward was utterly cast down for a while, but newly made friends came to her aid, and she started a lodging-house, which proved a success. A divorce on the ground of desertion followed, and somewhat over a year ago she married L. l.. Henvis, a Mare Island. He is the. son of wealthy parents, and, being disinherited, went on spree and joined the navy. Last week his time of enlistment expired, and con- temporaneously with it's expiration Mrs. Henvis received a letter from Denver. Colo, written by lawyer, informing her of the death of Hannah c. Bartlett, her grandmother.
 By her will" he writes, you are be- queathed property valued at about $58 900, as nearly as we can estimate it. Your uncle has been left similar amount, but he cannot be found, which interferes with the distribution of the estate"

Campers who, in the past have found pleasant quarters in Niles Canyon, will this year be required to pitch their tents below the dam owned by the Spring Val ley Water Company. The water com pany has purchased all of the water rights in the canyon, and has in addition secured control of the most of the ranches in the Alameda Creek Canyon above Niles.
 Not few campers who expected to To- cate themselves above the dam have been turned off by the agents of the water company.
