SauSalitO Justice Conducts a Marriage Service
 at Sea.
Between His Sea- Sick Spells He Makes a Couple Man
 and Wife.
Mary Campbell and M. s. Seibert Evade tho Divorce Laws of
 the State.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO, Jan. 16.-There was romantic marriage on the high seas to- day, and Justice Bellrude of Sausalito, who has grown gray in service on the bench, officiated and stranger scene was never witnessed. The Justice long since passed the half-century mark. and though he once could withstand the rolling of old ocean, the peculiar sensations of the sea now affect him. To-day the Justice suddenly gave way to his feelings as he was performing the ceremony that made loVe-sick couple man and wife.
 Mary Campbell had been the wife of a man named Burns and had procured a divorce from him last December. Then Mary Campbell. who preferred her maiden name for reasons best known to herself, fell in love with M. s. Seibert, whose residence is on Sec ond street in the metropolis, and the love grew apace as the days went by. Both resolved that the law which the Legislature had framed to the effect that people who had been divorcsd could not marry within year was a bit of foolishness. To circumvent it they decided to brave the oceans wrath and the laws also, and so they came to Sausalito and hired the swift tug Gazelle from Charles Forrest and put to sea.
 It was 12:30 o'clock to-day when the tug, with the party on board, set out. In the party were Mary Campbell, the bride to-b be; M. s. Seibert, the happy groom; Justice J. s. Bellrude of Sausa- Tito, and H. Nelson, the engineer and captain of the little tug. Over the bounding waves, through the Golden Gate and to a point far beyond the three-mile limit, the little tug swept. To the surprise of all the Justice grew sick at heart and the lunch he partoOk of before he left the peaceful port took occasion to distress him nightly.
 When the captain believed he had reached the limit of the United States jurisdiction he informed the little party and the ceremony of joining Campbell and Seibert in holy wedlock was per formed. Justice Bellrude opened his mouth and commenced to utter the ste reotyped words and the couple stood up in the rocking boat to hear when sud denly in the middle of the service the Justice experienced an attack that left him speechless. He tried hard to resist the oceans tempest but failed, and in fits and starts performed the ceremony. When it was at last over, and Sausa Tito was again reached. the Justice thanked heaven and pocketed his fat fee, while the happy couple lost them selves in the crowd.

A consolation purse of $50 was offered for dogs which had never made a winning There were eight entries for the sapling stakes, and the puppies did good work The ground was in fine condition after the rain and the jacks were very speedy.
 A special feature of the afternoon was the race between the running horse Prince Hooker and a tandem bicycle rid den by w. Fl. Palmer and Fritz Lacy of Los Angeles. It was a close run the tandem keeping the lead for the first four miles, but the horse won by a good length in the last quarter of the last mile.

Defeats Forget-Me-Not in the Coursing
 Final at Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-At the cours- ing meet to-day things got pretty we'll mixed before the final tie was run It looked at first as though it was a day for the long-enders, but before long the knowing ones sustained their judgment In giving big odds and taking in the small contributions of those who simply bought because it was cheap.
 The winners in the run down were: Electricity, Skylight, Reception, Cover nor Markham Promise Me. Forget-Me- Not, Gilt Edge and Flying Dutchman. Af- ter the first ties Electricity Gilt Edge, For get-Me-Not and Flying Dutchman were still headed toward first money, but when the second ties were finished Electricity had retired Gilt Edge, and Forget-Me- Not destroyed the hopes of the Flying Dutchman.
 When 1t came to the final Forget-Me- Not led Into the pool box by two lengths. but when it came to the test of speed in the field trial Electricity reversed the or der of things and won handily.
 No finer lot of hareS was ever turned loose. and, while the weather was a bit crisp and the sod a little sticky, some grand courses were run, and the large crowd went home satisfied.

BOYS APPLY 4 MATCH
 TO 4 COAL OIL SPRAY
Cause the Burning Of Two Thousand Barrels Of Petroleum and Other
 ProDerfY.

WHEELING, W. Va, Jan. 1.-Two thoughtless boys caused great mischief by applying a match to a spray of coal oil issuing from a small aperture in the Standard Oil Company's pipe line from Sisteryille and Mannington to Morgan town. The pressure at that point was strong. Soon the burning spray melted the lead in the joints of the pipe, which was six inches in diameter.
 Fifty acres of forest and field were soon ablaze. Two small bridges and two barns were burned. All the oil in ten miles of 6-inch pipe-nearly 2000 barrels-was con- sumed. The engineers at Elk Bank dis covered something was wrong and stopped pumping, else the damage would have been greater.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 16.-There was some improvement during the day in the con dition Of Charles NJ. Shortridge, who is at the Gilroy Hot Springs, but 1t was of brief duration.

AWAY WITH FALSE PRIDE.

From the Elmira Advertiser.
1t seems clear now that hundreds Of
thousands of lives might have been
saved in Cuba IL our government had
recognized the insurgents as belliger-
ents even so lately as one year ago
The most horrible state of things known
to modern history exists in Cuba and
its ghastly details are undisputed. 1t
need never have come to pass If our gov
ernment had done a simple act of justice
toward the insurgents by recognizing
them officially. That has been the one
thing against which the Spanish have
fought harder than against Cuba itself,
and with far more success. Whether JUS
tice shall be done at last remains with
the Republican majority in the house to
determine. The Democrats are right In
urging recognition and it is to be hoped
that no sentiment of false pride will
stand in the way of action by the major
ity party which shall in some measure
rescue the American name from the re-
proach which is gathering over it for
permitting 100000 persons, chiefly old
men, women and children, to be des-
troyed under the very eyes OF the Amer
ican people without more than a mere
protest from the government OF that peo-
Pile 1t is a most extraordinary spec
tacle and it is lamentable that Demo-
cratic congressman should, for any rea-
son, be more anxious to end ii tnan their
political opponents seem to be.

An Unfoun ded Scare.

The sugar trust, in its fight against
Hawaiian annexation, has sought to
enlist the fears Of American growers
Of tie sugar beet, by representing to
them that Hawaii as a part of the
Cnited States would spofl their market.
The effort is ingenious but TIE facts
DO not bear it out. The figures cited
below are from the records of the Uni
ted States department of agriculture:
THE average amount of sugar i'm
ported into the United States annually
from 1890 to 1897, inclusive, was 1880. 4S2
tons of 2,2i0 pounds each. valued at
SlOl ,0'5,293. The importation during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1897, was
4i3,3@3 tons more than the avera Sc Of
the four preceding years, which was
l,7"2,6l7 tons. owing to the desire of
importers to anticipate the effect of the
tariff act pending in congress during
the last months of that year. The av-
erage Importation of sugar from the
Hawaiian Islands from 1898 to 1897, in
elusive. was 1886 tons, valued at
S9,S73,92i. The importation for the fis-
cal year of 1897 was 1872, sos tons. being
1902 tons above the average Of the
preceding -four years. During 1897 the
Hawaiian sugar was 81 per cent. of the
amount consumed in the United States.
From 1893 to 1897 it was II per cent
Of Our consumption.
The beet sugar consumed i'm the
United States in 1896 was IS per cent:
in 1897, il was 81 per cent. of the total
consumption. The disturbed condition
of Cuba doubtless caused much of this
marked increase, but the beet sugars
from countries in continental Europe
arc these from which we may expect
the most active competition. The pro-
duction of beet sugar i'm the United
states in 1887 was II ,347 tons of 2,24O
pounds each; of cane sugar, 2S7OO7
tons; of maple sugar, 1000 tons, and of
sorghum sugar, 300 tons. The total do
mestic product was 3S5,656 tons. The
total refined product of imported sugar
was l,760,60I tons, making the total an
nual consumption 2,O9G.263 tons. From
the foregoing it appears that "a per
cent. of the sugar consumed in the
That an importation from Hawaii of
between and per cent. of the sugar
needed in the United States, upon
which freight for 1000 miles of water
haulage and an average of not less
than 1000 miles Of land haulage would
have TO be added to the cost of initial
production, could seriously menace the
domestic beet sugar industry, from
which the cost of transportation is
practically eliminated, is a supposition
very far-fetched. If the beet sugar in
dustry could not survive such a com
petition 1t would not deserve to live
Besides, with Hawaii part of the
United States 1t would not be compe.
