AWAKENED RUSSIA.

fThe first Of a series Of articles Creating Russia as a militant power in the forefront Of modern political and territorial movementsl
 The complete ascendency of Russia over China forms one of the most sin gular and most pregnant chapters of recent history. It is so complete that when the great Belgian railway con- eession (which would give Russia a far more sOutherly terminus for her great railway than she now has) was offered to the Russians racently they refused it at a moderate price, and when the minister who did this was asked why he missed such a chance. he is said to have replied that he could get whatever concessions he needed for nothing. Before this oc- cured it was stated in very high cir cies that the published arrangements beteeWn Russia and China for the Chinese portion of the Siberian rail- way could only be fragment of a wider agreement procuring for Rus sid the ultimate possession of Port Arthur; and it is now the opinion of the best informed European agents tn China that Russia has gained the important provinces of Kirin and Leaotong; and not only those, but a. practical protectorate over the fright ened and humiliated old empire itself This unquestionably takes the form of an alliance, in which Russ a, in re- turn for the acquisition of the princi- pal naval port of China, promises to defend northern China against all corners, without asking anything of the same nature from that empire. This treaty, signed in 1896, and brought about by Count Cassini for Russia, is supposed to have been the result Of the fear of the Chinese em- peror for the safety of his throne and the continuance of the present dynasty. Of course there is not and has not been the slightest menace to either. and If the emperor and the real ruler of China, the dowager empress, have been made to believe in such dan grs, it is net hard to see who must have aroused the alarm, and for what purpose the bugaboo was conjured up.

IS PIGEON-HOLED AGAIN
PETITION TO ALLOW THEATER
SIDEWALK SIGNS
THE HIRIART INVESTIGATION
Character Witnesses Who Give the
Policeman Good Name-Street
Improvements Wanted.

Despite the protests of Councilmen
Mathuss and Ashman, Chairman Blanch-
ard of the board of public works yesterday
again quiesly shelved the petition giving
the theaters exemption from the sidewalk
sign ordinance, and the matter once more
went over without action for another week
The petition was taken up on the demand
of Mr.. Mathuss that something be done;
that recommendation be made one way
or another, but after discussion the noon
hour arriving, the chairman announced
that he was hungry and went to dinner,
with a bland smile once more pigeon-hol-
ing the theater mems petition. 1t is prob
able that a motion will be made in open
council next Monday to take the matter out
of the hands of the board and finally deter
mine, once and for all, whether or not
any exemptions are to be made in the en-
forcement of the ordinance.
Recommendations adopted were as fol-
lows:
That the city engineer prepare the neces-
sary map and ordinance for the opening
and widening of Voss and Rowland ave-
nues between Washington and Adams
streets, and that the names of said streets
be changed to Magnolia avenue.
1t was recommended that the city engi-
neer present an ordinance of intention for
sidewalking Twenty-second street between
Hoover and Thornton streets.
1t was recommended that the petition of
U. Forest ct al. for establishing the lines
of Dillon street between Bellevue avenue
and Reservoir street be granted and the
city engineer SO instructed.
j. A. Cannon was denied permission to
maintain a two-inch pipe across Court
street near the intersection of Ohio street.
1t was recommended that an ordinance
be passed for the opening of Wiltshire bou
levard from Benton Row across Sunset
park.
Frank Whittier's bid for improving
Thirty-frst street was the lowest and the
board recommended that he be awarded
the contract.

A NICKEL FACTORY
Folsom Convicts Provide Means to
Purchase Opium

FOLSOM Cal, March ia counter
feiting plant has been discovered within
the walls of the State prison here. The
work was done in the engine room by Con-
victs II. l.. Coyne and James Brown. and
SO far as known only nickels were coined
presumably no precious metals could be
obtained. The men were discovered in the
act of manufacturing bogus coins by
guards. who had been told what was going
on. When the officers rushed in Coyle and
Brown leaped through a window and
threw their dies and crucible into canal
leading to the American river. A large
number of well-executed fve-cent pieces
were found. They were made of Babbitt
metal, taken from the engines which run
through the prison grounds for the pur-
pose of hauling rock from the quarries. 1t
is thought that the dies or moulds were
not made by the men who coined the
money, but by some of the expert counter
feiters in the prison. The impression pre-
walls among the officers that it was the
purpose of the convicts to coin q great
quantity of nickels and ship them out on
the freight cars, where their friends on
the outside could receive them in exchange
for opium. Several Of the bogus coins
have been found in circulation in the town
of Folsom.

THE H1R1ART INVESTIGATION
Defense Putting in Its Case-Some
Character Witnesses

Notwithstanding the enforced absence of
Commissioner Gibbon, the police commits
sion yesterday took up the investigation
of the charges against Pascual Hiriart,
and the weary round of testimony was
again gone through with. The gst of ev-
idence given by each of Hiriarts witnesses
was that his character was of the best;
that although he drank a little, he never
had been drunk; that he had always cared
properly for his wife and babies during
their lifetime and that in general he was
of good moral character and a man thor
oughly qualified to perform the duties of
a policeman.
Attorney ]. Marion Brooks testified that
Hiriart had been employed off and on by
him for the past eight years and that he
was intimately acquainted with him. Il
will state that he is the peer of any man
in the community that l know" said Mr..
Brooks. He also stated that as attorney
for the Bauer saloon he had frequently
had Hriart make collections among Ala
media street cribs, the Basket saloon and
elsewhere. This accounted for the testi-
mony that he had been a frequent night
visitor on Alameda street or in other dis
reputable resorts.
Deputy District Attorney Williams, NJ.
A. Dudley, formerly proprietor of the st.
Elmo hotel; G. Pelisser, Councilman
Hutchson and j. P. Goytino, proprietor of
the French paper lie Progress, together
with thirteen others less known to fame
all told of their regard for Hiriart and his
many good qualities.
Councilman Hutchison stated that he
had seen Hiriart at every ball, picnic, etc,
of the French, Italian or Spanish colonies
for the past four years, and he had at
tended every one that he knew of, and that
Mr.. Hiriart was "a very nice young man"
Mr.. Goytino was especially emphatic in
defending Hiriart, and said that he had
known Pascual for ten years and that 1t
required "such persons as detectives or
rum-soaked toperS to come before the
board and testify to the lies that had been
told about Hiriart; no person of good stand
ing would do it." This was hard on the
detectives, but none of the commissioners
rushed to the rescue and Chief Glass was
in San Francisco.
The entire morning had been consumed,
and as there were no more witnesses pres
ent, an adjournment was taken until Fri
day morning next at 10 o'clock. Hiriart has
fifteen or twenty more character witnesses,
he claims, and will also take the stand in
his own defense.

diers to Be Recruited

Last evening the SpaMsh-Amcrican Re-
publican league held meeting at their
headquarters on North Buena Vista
street. The impulse that led to the call

Ed Carson were appointed committee of
arrangements.
The object of the meeting is to make
preparations to recruit regiment of
Spanish American volunteers to be ready
in case war should be declared with Spain.
Though the blood of the mother country
flows in their veins, the Spanish-A -Ameri-
cans are loyal to Old Glory, and will fight
as valiantly for their country as other
native born Americans. President Nc
Kinley will be notified by telegraph that
a regiment of Spanish-Americans in Los
Angeles is his to command should he need
