AMERICANS
FIGHT BULLS
IN MEXICO
First Performance Of the
Kind Ever Given in
That Country.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Texas, May "A private
letter was received here to-day from
Durango, Mexico, giving an interesting
account of the first bullfght at which
all the performers were Americans ever
given in Mexico The fight took place
at Durango last Saturday. and was
witnessed by the largest audience ever
seen at an exhibition of that kind in
that city The performers were d. NJ.
Shaw, William Fisher, E. Z. Shaw,
Percy Sharpe, T. w. Tisdale, Roy Kes-
sell, J. W. Dobbins, H. L. Benson, car
los Chapman, W. w. McVea and D. w.
Barnes. all wen-known business men OF
that section Of Mexico.
The bulls for the occasion were OBJ
tanned from mountain ranch in that
State and the animals were noted for
their ferociousness. Four bulls were
dispatched one after the other, by
Barnes and Shaw.
Murphy had a narrow escape from
horrible death He was caught on the
large, sharp horns of one of the bulls
and carried several times around the
arena before the red banderillos could
attract the attention Of the maddened
animal elsewh Murphy was badly
bruised, but not seriously injured.
The several thousand Mexican spec
tators cheered the brave Americans
and showered pieces of silver into the
arena whenever an act Of special dar-
ing challenged their admiration. The
fight had been advertised throughout
Mexico for several weeks before it came
off. and the American clergy in that
country preached numerous sermons
against the Americans of Durango en-
gaging in such a brutal pastime. An
appeal was even made to the Governor
of the State of Durango TO prohibit the
nroposed fight from taking place but
the latter replied that he could see no
harm in that form Of amusement, and
the "Buena Americanos' were privi-
legged TO place themselves on equal foot
ing with the Mexican bullfighters if
they so desired.

FIGHTING THE PooLRooMs.
Plan Favored by the "Hill Tribes" o
Sausalito.

SAUSALITO, May 9.-The hill tribes"
are again to the fore as antagonists of
the water front on the poolroom question,
and have enlisted among their cohorts
the District Attorney and the Supervisors
of Marin County. An effort will be made
TO prevent the poolrooms opening on the
10th inst. the battle to be made along the
lines laid down by the District Attorney.
Not only do three of the Town Trustees
intend to see that poolrooms are licensed
this year but they will grant a license
TO Kingsley & Co., making three estab
lishments that will sell pools on Eastern
races The other two Will be Harvey &
Co and Humphrey & Co
Last evening District Attorney McIsaac
was summoned to Sausalito by a COM
mittee of citizens and a conference was
held In view of the opinion of the Su-
pervisors that as the electors voted in
favor of the poolrooms last year, some
thing should be done to show change of
heart 1t was decided to draw up a petit
ton to be signed by the property owners
and present 1t to the board. All the men,
bers of that body have said they would
try to do away with the poolrooms in case
they were petitioned to do so by a large
number of citizens.
1t is expected that the method employed
will be to license the poolrooms at
figure which will virtually amount to pro-
hibition. The county fathers are SAN
guine that such a license will have the
desired effect

Gold Democrats.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Former Cover

ans close friend, who is at the Hoff-

Bryan has in all His speeches on the at
titude of the silver leader and his West
ern and Southern friends toward the
gold Democrats Of the East.
Would l vote to admit into the next
convention gold Democrats who bolted
the ticket in 1882" he said, repeating
a question. Most certainly 1 would
not. Nobody else would who is a genu-
inc Democrat. That is the feeling in
the West and South.
why should anybody who stood by
the party regard as Democrats those
who turned against it? They are not
Democrats. They have made open con-
fession of the fact. They will not be
let into the next convention. | think I
can say for. the West and South that
they would vote to seat contesting del
egations of men known to be loyal If
New York should send any delegates
who bolted in 1896"
Stones statement makes a problem
for Croker, who expects to take out
with him to the next convention a few
gold Democrats who have gone back
into the Tammany fold. He has said
time and again that he is for gold and
against silver. It may be that under
those circumstances the whole Tam
many delegation will find the doors
barred but Stone will not go so far as
to say that. Bryans New York friends.

BELIEVES LAWYERS ARE
LEAGUED AGAINST HER
Lady Broome of Santa Barbara Ap-
pears in Court on Her Own
Behalf

SANTA BARBARA May 9.-Several
weeks ago Lady Francis Broome, an Eng
lish woman living on Mcheltorino street,
was arrested for having resisted an off,
Ger sent to remove hedge that surround
ed her property. Her case was called in
the Superior Court to-day and the de-
PENDANT appearing in her own behalf,
was granted an extension of ten days in
which to engage other counsel.
When the case came up this morning
Judge Day inquired of Lady Broome if
she had counsel She replied she had
not She then asked the court to appoint
one. This Judge Day declined to do, say
ing that the law did not intend that the
courts should appoint counsel to defend
persons able to employ defense. Lady
Broome expressed her willingness to pay
the fees of an attorney, but said she had
not engaged one because she thought all
of the lawyers of this city were prejudiced
against her and she was afraid to trust
her case in the hands of any of them.
She was willing, though, TO pay any
costs If Judge Day would appoint some
member of the local bar. The Judge firm
ly declined to perform this office. Lady
Broome asked for a months time in
which to make the selection. but the
court granted but ten days.
On leaving the courtroom she was heard
to remark that she would send TO San
Francisco for an attorney. She fears that
all the officers and lawyers of this city
are in league against her.

Chinese Are Not Yet Shut
Out From Islands Re-
Gently Acquired.
NEIKLEJOHN SORULES
Extension of the immigration Laws
Interpreted Not to Include
the Exclusion Act.
Special Dtspetch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Acting Sec
rotary of War Meiklejohn said to-day
that the Chinese exclusion act did not
apply to our insular possessions.
Some three weeks ago an order was
issued extending the laws and regula-
lations governing immigration to the
United States to the territory under
military control, and Collectors of Gus
toms were directed to enforce them
pending the establishment of regular
immigration stations. BY some this Or
der was interpreted to mean the ex-
clusiOn of Chinese from Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines. This is a
mistake Mr.. Meiklejohn says that the
order only extended the regular i'm
migration laws, not the Chinese exclu-
sion act, and that there was no inten-
ton for the present of making the lat
ter act applicable to our insular posses

Beef Packers Yet After the
Scalp of the Army's
Commander.
THEIR WISHES FUTILE
Thus Far There Is No Indication
That Mckinley Will Yield to
the Pressure.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

4 NEW YORK, May 9.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends the
following: President Mckinley is be
ing strongly urged, since the publica-
tion Of the report Of the beef court Of
inquiry. TO disregard its concluding re-
commentator that further proceedings
be not taken. He has beer. urged to so
far disregard this recommendation as
to relieve Major General Miles from
command of the army.
1t is said the beef packers are exert
ing their powerful influence to bring
about this result. Further than this
the opponents Of General Miles are
making the most Of the action of the
committee OF the German Reichstag in
reporting @ bill discriminating against
American meats. They place the re-
spousibuity for this upon General
Miles. whose course they say has been
such as 10 discredit American meat
products the world over
Thus far there have been no indica-
tions that the President contemplates
yielding TO the pressure TO get rid of
General Miles. Il is realized that the
report of the court OF inquiry is dis
credited by a large proportion Of the
American people. and the President,
while following the advice that further
proceedings be not taken as TO General
EaCan. whose course was "unwarrant-
ID and reckless and who committed a
colossal error for which there is no
ralliation," viii not risk. arousing
further. popular indignation by taking
further proceedings" against Major
General Miles
AS a result Of the evident determina-
tion Of the President not to comply
with the wishes Of the beef men by re-
lieving Major General Miles, the situa-
ton in the War Department must con-
tinue TO be such as Will, to say the
least, not be conducive to harmony of
action between the Secretary of War
and the major general commanding the.
army. Secretary Alger was credited
during the progress of the beef inquiry
with being determined that the findings
of the court should determine whether
he or General Miles should leave the
War Department. The findings of the
court reflect severely on Major General
Miles, yet he is to remain. There Is no
reflection on Secretary Alger, who,
though cognizant Of the acts of his
subordinate, was a civilian. over whose
acts the court had no jurisdiction, and
ne has given no indication of an inten-
ton 10 resign rather than serve with
Major General Miles. In fact all that
he has said on the subject indicates his
intention 10 serve out his term.
