is nothing to me; it has not influenced

election that is now before this body,
the republican members should occu-

will endeavor to swerve them from
that ground are unworthy of the re-
spect or confidence of the people of
this great commonwealth.

According to the law Of all honor
able and political warfare we, as re-
publicans are supposed to keep our
hands off of this election: and if it is
true that 80 per cent of the republ-

indorse the election of a democratic
candidate, it is because they have be-

democrats and the methods of the DEM

DES|RELLO JURY
FAILS To AGREE
Murder Trial Comes to
Naught.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDWOOD CITY, May 6.-After be-
ing out for three hours the jury in the
Desirello murder trial failed to agree
and was discharged by the court. This
means that the whole affair will have
to be rehearsed again in another trial.
At a few moments before 8 o'clock
this afternoon the court had completed
it's instructions to the jury, which re-
tired to the jury-room in charge of the
Sheriff. The first ballot, it is under
stood, resulted in seven votes for con-
viction and five for acquittal After
two hours deliberation the jury was
brought into court to receive further
instructions on the question of man
slaughter. After another hours delib-
Grafton it could come to no agreement,
the vote standing six for manslaughter
and six for acquittal.
The defendant probably will be tried
anew very soon. All of next week will
be taken up in the trial of other crimi-
nal cases. and after that the court
probably will set a day.
This morning the defense placed a
witness on the stand to show that it
was customary for young Vacari, who
was driving the wagon on the night in
question, to drive at a rapid pace, and
that he was an incompetent driver
The prosecution introduced testimony
to rebut this. District Attorney Bull
lock made a forcible argument against
Desirello, and Mr.. Walker spoke for an
hour in reply. In the afternoon Judgs
Fitzpatrick, one of the defendants at
torneys, addressed the jury. Both at
torneys made splendid pleas for their
client.
The result of the second trial is
awaited with considerable interest
here, for the sister of Johnston, the
dead boy, has taken an oath to put a
bullet through Desirelio in the event
that he should escape punishment at
the hands of a jury. The wife and
father of Desirello were in court all
day, as were the father, mother and
sister of young James Johnston.

Great Loss Of Life Is
Reported.

WICHITA, Kan, May 7.-Meager re-
ports reach here of terrific windstorm
that caused great destruction at sew
eral points in Southern Oklahoma. The
most serious damage is reported at
Chickasha, Tongana and Anadarko.
The storm struck Chickasha at $3.50

Rumors of greater loss of life are
heard but cannot be confirmed. There
is only one telegraph wire out of Chick
asha, and there is little chance Of get
ting list of the injured tonight.
The storm came from the southwest
preceded by heavy hail and followed
by a flood of rain. The path of the

COOLIES BROUGHT

Hawaii Will Be OVerrun
by AsiatiCs.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, May 6.-JOshua K. Brown,
United States Chinese Inspector at Ha-
waii, has made a report to the COM
manding general of immigration relat-
ing to the introduction of Asiatic labor
into the islands. In the course of the
report he says the Executive Council
is now earnestly considering the ques-
ton, both with ref nee to the pres
ent needs of the islands in their rapidly
increasing agricultural developments
and as to the effect any attempt to
meet the increasing demands for labor
may have upon the future relations to
the home government" This has re-
suited in notice to the Planters Asso-
citation that some policy must be adopt
ed looking to the restriction to the pres
ent influx of assisted Asiatic laborers.
The public Mr.. Brown asserts, is
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
the large number of Japanese laborers
brought to the islands since annexation
has already aroused antagonism In the
United States, and that continuance
of the policy will result in a colonial,
rather than in territorial, form or
government for the islands. ON the
other hand it is admitted tn the ma
teriai prosperity of the country will be
seriously hindered. if foreign labor can
not be obtained for the large areas of
land now being RAPIDLY brought under
cultivation
The whole number of Japanese Ia
borers admitted to the island since an
nexation. Mr.. Brown says, is 180 OF
this number 1897 were free, the only re-
quirement being that each individual
shall be the possessor of $50 in gold or
it's equivalent. The remaining 1O,995
were contract laborers. These contracts
are simply that the laborer shall work
for the contractor three years on stip-
ulated terms. At the end of that period
he is at liberty to remain in the country
or leave it at his o. pleasure.
About half of the population Mr..
Brown says, is Asiatic, and the number
of japanese exceeds the Chinese by
about 10000. He predicts that before
the end of the present year the. Asiatic
population Of the islands VII largely
exceed all other nationalities combined,
and the excess of Japanese over Chi
nese will be fully double what it is now.

ESCAPED SPANIARDS
PICKED UP AT SEA

HONOLULU, April 90. - Sergeant
Robert NJ. Barr, Twenty-second United
States Infantry, who sailed on the
transport Roanoke the last of Febru-
ary in charge Of ten convalescents,
writes to friend here of the arrival
of the vessel a. Manila on the 29th Of
March.
Nothing of moment occurred on the
voyage until within two days of the
destination, when a flag of distress was
seen flying from a battered looking lit
tie craft The Roanoke responded and
picked up a small fishing boat, contain
ing eight Spaniards who had escaped
from Imprisonment by the FilipinOs.
The poor fellows were in a desperate
way Their sails were in tatters. They
themselves were famishing for food and
water, of which they had not partaken
in four days. When found they were
ballng up water in their hats to slake
their maddening thirst.
The Spaniards said they had landed
on one of the islands for water, when
they were attacked by a band of Fill
pinOs. Happily they were able to beat
off their assailants with bamboo
spears. Their gratitude to the Ameri-
cans for rescuing them and treating
them kindly was almost beyond eX-

sisting on one at st. Pierre. The re-
port concludes by stating that a series
Of confidential proposals had been dis
cussed between the commissioners and
the colonial Ministry, dealing with GER
tain courses of action in the future,
which proposals are now before the
British Government, with a view to
negotiations with France for a set
tlement of the question in all it's as
poets.
The testimony of the coast folk is that
the presence of the French is a great
detriment to their industry. Under the
restriction which prevents them from
interfering with the French by their
competition residents are prevented
from occupying the best fishing grounds
and are forced by warships to leave if
found there and are called upon by
the French to go. Their nets are cut
adrift, their fishing gear destroyed and
their seasons operations are ruined,
they and their families being doomed to
destitution in order that England may
escape friction with France.

FAILS TO SETTLE
BUFFALO STRIKE
Carriers Association Is
Denounced.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BUFFALO, May 6.-The Lake Car
riers' Association tonight abandoned its
efforts to settle the dispute between Con-
tractor William J. Connors and the grain
shovelers. The State Board of Mediation
and Arbitration will remain here for
some time to investigate the grain SHOW
cling business and ascertain what truth
there is in the charges made by the men
concerning the abuses of the contract sys-
TEN. The board, however. has lost hope
of ever being able to bring the contract
ors and the men together.
This hopeless situation was brought
about by the action of the striking Grain
Shovelers Union. in rejecting the propo-
sition submitted by a joint committee OF
the State Board of Mediation and Arbi-
tration and the Lake Carriers AS
sociation, the Elevator Association, the
Merchants Exchange and the United
Trades and Labor Council, and agreed to
by Mr.. Connors. The proposition was the
result of a conference among the repre-
sentatives of these organizations, which
lasted from IL O clock in the morning un-
til late in the afternoon.
Contractor Connors was called oe1ore
the conference committee and requested
to state what concessions he Wouid MAKE
to the men. Mr.. Connors said he Would
do anything that was fair. but thaL ne ne
would refuse to abandon his contract IN
compliance with the request OF the
strikers.
At o'clock tonight Mr.. Connors
proposition in typewriter form was lald
before the grain-ShoVelerS. AT that tlne
1000 of them had assembled at their halI
The proposition was to the ERECT that
Mr.. Connors would agree to abolish the
saloon boss system; that dummies would
not be placed on the payroll; that a rep
resentative citizen of Buffalo would be
appointed with power to investigate all
complaints made by the men in future,
and that the men would receive 81 80 per
thousand bushels, which was the scale
fixed last year.
President Mcmahon declared, immedi-
ately after reading the proposition, that
he rejected it and would refuse to sub
nit 1t to the men.
The committee of labor men who had
conferred with Connors and the board Of
arbitration urged him to permit the men
to vote on the proposition, but McMahon
refused. Instead, he walked to the front
of the stage and said:
"a fake proposition has been submitted
to us by the Lake Carriers Association
AS it provides for a continuance of the
contract system l have rejected it in
your behalf"
The grain-shoveIers cheered the an
nouncement enthusiastically. President
McMahon. then announced that the men
would have no more to do with the Lake
Carriers Association, but would fight the
matter out on the docks.
1t was announced tonight that the
monthly men at the elevators and the
coalheaVers on the docks would go out on
Monday. This will add nearly 1000 men
to the ranks of the strikers. There is un-
doubted evidence that men are to be
brought here by Mr.. Connors from out
side towns, and if this is done serious
trouble is sure to follow.

TRUSTS HAVE
LITTLE FEAR
OF THE LAW
Apathy Throughout the
Country Regarding the
Combines.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The Herald
will print the following tomorrow:
Scarcely anything is being done by any
of the States from the Atlantic to the
Pacific to cure the formation of trusts.
These great aggregations of money are
sweeping over the country, absorbing
every known interest. At the rate the
concentration is progressing individual
effort or ownership will, in a few years,
be thing of the past. Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, a few months ago, de-
clared that the Federal Government
could only take cogniZance Of such
trusts as were interstate in their oper-
ations and effect, and that the chief
remedy lay in the States themselves.
Sentiment in the State Legislatures,
at their most recent sessions, is appar-
emily more in favor of the trusts than
in opposition. The proposition to have
Southern Legislatures put the trust is
sue to the front, in order to disconcert
Bryan, has not worked we'll. One after
another they are adjourning without
doing anything. The bars seem to be
down almost everywhere.
The Herald has received replies from
its correspondents in thirty-two States
regarding the attitude of their COM
mOnwealths toward trusts and com
binations of capital.
The replies show this result States
that have newly amended their anti
trust laws in an effort to make them
operative, New York, North Carolina
and Minnesota, three. States that are
far mi LOT I'M
trust legislation, Arkansas. one. States
in which old laws are being enforced,
Georgia, Indiana, Kansas. Texas and
Ohio, five. States in which there are
no laws, or in which laws are not en-
forced, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida,
Illinois, Maine Mississippi, Massachu-
setts, Missouri, New Hampshire. Ne
vada, Nebraska, Oregon. South Caro-
lima. Utah, Vermont, Wyoming, Wash
ington, West Virginia, nine. States
that are supposed to favor trusts. New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, four.
In North Carolina and Minnesota the
laws that have been passed are new
attempts TO reach trusts, but in both
States there is a belief that the statutes
are harmless. In New York the law
has been changed to enable the At
torney General to get evidence on
which to proceed. The legislation con-
templated in Arkansas is for the pur-
pose of turning William J. Bryans
flank and making trusts the issue in
stead Of free coinage Enforcement of
the law in Texas, Kansas and Ohio bids
fair to be effective.
In Indiana the law is about to be
tested for political effect, but it is not
regarded as an effective statute. In
Georgia tests of the laws are being
made by private individuals.
