SHE WOULD THRASH
ATTORNEY KEYES

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 1S.-Miss Margaret
Manning, who is being made the defend
ant in suit for the possession of prop
erty decided to her by her father, became
nettled to-day at question asked by
Attorney ]. w. Keyes while making a
deposition before Notary Public T. P
Boyd, and threatened to horsewhip him
If he did not show her the consideration
she claimed was her due. A sensational
scene was prevented by the GOODNESS of
Keyes and Hepburn Wilkins, Miss Man.
nng's attorney.
Andrew Manning died at Tomales
Shortly before his death he decided prop
erty valued at $4,000 to his daughter Mar
garet. A brother, named Joseph en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific Company.
has filed suit to have the deed annulled
on the ground of fraud. The woman was
required to make a deposition in the case
to-day. A question in regard to an alleged
transaction regarding the use to which
$500 was put caused her to spring to her
feet and tragically threaten to thrash the
lawyer He remained cool, and the others
present interceded in time to prevent fur
ther trouble. Attorney Keyes says he
will prove his charges, but ex-Sheriff Tun-

BUTCHER KLEIN is
IN WARLIKE MOOD

SAN SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 1S.-Chris
Klein, the butcher whose slaughter house
is alleged to offend the olfactory nerves
of members of the San Rafael Golf Club,
has determined not to yield without a
struggle, and bv Attorney E. B. Marti-
nelli to-day filed an answer to the COM
plaint of Henry G. Campbell, in which
every charge made in the petition for an
injunction is denied. The answer is made
both for Klein and John Brauning, the
owner of the land.
Both defendants to the suit deny that
the stream of water flowing from their
land across the golf links ever has offal
thrown into 1t; that it is used by the
plaintiff for domestic purposes, or that
1t is pure enough to be used. 1t is af-
firmed that the slaughter house is kept
as clean as possible and that no odors
containing microbes emanate from it,,
while the claim of Campbell that re-
peated requests have been made for the
slaughter house to be moved is vigorous
ly denied.
Klein's answer further states that many
thousands of dollars have been expended
in the Improvement of his property, and
that the suit tends to damage his busi-
ness. He asks that the action be dis
missed and that plaintiff pay. the costs
of suit, as well as attorneys fees. The
case comes up in court next Monday.

CENTRAL PACIFIC
DEBT SETTLEMENT
Company's New Notes
Delivered.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The settle
ment of the obligations of the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company to the Government
was completed to-day, when United States
Treasurer Roberts was given the notes of
the company for SOS S12, ,715. The notes are
twenty in number, payable semi-annually
and are each for 81, $40 635. bearing interest
at 8 per cent. Internal revenue stamps to
the value of $1l,762 81 were affixed to the
notes
Treasurer Roberts said ne understood
five of the notes would be taken up in a
very Short time.
The Government holds as security for
the payment Of the obligations it's own
per cent bonds, which were issued in
behalf of the construction of the Central
short time by a new series of bonds TO
bear per cent interest, which will also
be lien on the road.
The notes, which are dated San Fran
Isaac L. Requa, the president Of the Cen
trail Pacific Company, contain the provi-
sion that In case a default is made in the
payment of either principal or interest
the entire series becomes at once due and
payable. The bonds, which will be given
as security for the notes, cover not only
the Central Pacific road proper, on which
the Government has a lien, but include
all of it's branches and terminals, so that
the security is regarded as far in excess
of the liability.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-It was announced
this afternoon that of the twenty semi
annual notes drawn in settlement of the
previous debt of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company to the Government, Speyer
q Co bought the first four falling due,
and the proceeds-about SO, ,000, ,000-were
turned over to the Government, together
with the other sixteen notes.

HITCHES CAUSE
MUCH ANXIETY
Anglo American Com
mission Causes Worry.

Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-TelegramS from
Washington reporting that the Anglo
American Commission is encountering
serious head seas are followed here with
much anxiety, as the opinion prevails
here that the future of the Anglo
American entente largely depends on
the success of the present negotiations.
The Speaker voices the general feel
ing by saying that the news regarding
the commission is very disquieting
1T is impossible the Speaker adds, "to
say where the fault lies, but failure
to arrive at an understanding will be
a serious blow to the hopes of both
countries in regard to the future re-
lationships. Perhaps the less we say
about the matter while it is still in
suspense the better it will be for the
prospects of satisfactory settlement"
The Saturday Review, as usual, finds
the United States is entirely responsible
for the bitches in the negotiations. 1t
says: There are signs that we shall
receive another object lesson very soon
as to the real nature of the sudden great
affection which America is said to have
developed for England The Anglo
American Commission has been strug-
Cling to arrive at an agreement but the
process has not thus far been charac-
terized by an overwhelming desire on
the part of America to deal generously
with Canada. 1t will not be surprise
to those who know the character of the
washington politician If the report
that failure is practically assured
proves to be true
The Saturday Review has another
hasty comment with reference to the
resolution of United States Senator Me-
Emery in regard to the Philippines,
which the paper declares is mere time
serving for the Senate to pass. This
resolution" the Review continues '.is
simply the outcome of a maneuyer to
secure the necessary vote to adopt the
Paris treaty Of peace The reputation
of President McKinley's Government is
indeed likely to disappear altogether in
view OF the report of the War Office
maladministration. 1t is an astounding
scandal to find officials who are respon-
slbie for the gross Irregularities md
nismaEa cement of the war carefully
whitewashed, while plain-dealing SOL
dier like General Miles is discrelted.
The report, however, is a good 4bject
lesson to the people of England 1t will
show them how the bosses woek the
macnlne, and how unscrupulous, even
when his own country is concerned, the
Washington politician can become.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-General

"In the cable of the 11th, list of the

being an error. He was shot in right

nounced as wounded Is William Gar
denshire, formerly private in Company
G."
The reports of such skirmishes as
those noted above and the stories Of
frequent firing by concealed natives
upon the American outposts have con-
veyed the impression to the ofhclals
here that General Otis is being rapidly
brought to a pass where he must as
sumo most vigorous offensive cam
paign. Although no instructions have
vet been sent to him, it is assumed that
he will feel justified soon in doing this
to prevent the decentralization OF ms
troons and also to make his position
tenabIe in the approaching wet season.
