UPWARD JUMP
IN SILVER VALUES
sMELTER TRUST IS AT THE BOT
TOM OF 1T.
Combination Pursuing It's Avowed
Policy of Advancing the Price
of the White Metal.

The sudden upward jump of silver in
London and New York has caused no end
Of comment in local financial and mining
circles From the condition of a drug on
the market for months the white metal
appears to be assuming some commercial
Importance, the amount of which no one
at present in the city appears to be will
ing to predict. Opinions concerning the
causes leading to the betterment of the
market are indefinite, but the one that
has gained most ground is that the
smelter trust recently formed, the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company is
at the bottom of the advance, carrying
out its announced policy of raising the
price of the metal 10 per cent from that
ruling at the time of the formation Of the
trust
"Our advices concerning the rise in
silver" said Thomas Brown, cashier of
the Bank of California, ARE to the effect
that it is due to the combination known
as the American Smelling and Refining
with a capital Of $65 600 900 1t controls
smelters in Colorado, Utah and Montana,
and appears to have the situation well in
hand and rules the market for silver. /
think silver will go higher but that de-
pends entirely upon the demand for it"
T. B. Underhill, secretary of the Seby
Smelling Company; is of similar
opinion and dispatches received here late
yesterday afternoon from New York are
to the effect that the advance is merely
speculative, no increase in commercial de-
mand appearing in any quarter. Mining
men do not appear to think that the adj
vance means anything over which they
are called upon to rejoice. The white
metal is at present too far in the dumps
for any short squirt like the present to
have a particular effect on its produc-
ton For months silver has ruled around
59A in New York. with nobody appearing
to care much one way or the other. The
advance came last Friday, when it went
up half a cent This was followed the
next day by another advance, bar silver
closing at 81.
Yesterday silver certificates represent
ing 10000 ounces were purchased on the
New York Stock Exchange from 634 to
6414, the price of commercial bar being
63A. The last time the metal reached GA
cents was last August.

y A Il.
Senator F. h. Taylor, as City Attorney
Of Alameda, to-day filed an answer to the
suit Of Martial Davoust wherein the lat

OF his wife, Edith NJ. Davoust by con-

The citys demurrer was oVerruled

Mrs Davoust trespassed on vacant lot

whose agents cut the wire down and

A Big Bail Bluff Was
Quickly Called.
DOUBLE EAGLES GALORE
FIVE HUNDRED YELLOW BOYS
APPEARED IN COURT.
Fred Fosters Effort to Get Even
Placed Justice Morris in Di-
lemma Over Too Much
Cash.

ALAMEDA, April 27.-Fred Foster, who
has been prosecuted by A Howard the
racetrack plunger, for the alleged theft
of a pair of horses valued at SIS 900,
turned the tables on Howard to-day by
having him arrested on a charge of per-
jury. The complaint was sworn to be-
fore Justice Morris, and the alleged per-
jury upon which 1t is based consists of
the statements made by Howard before
Justice Quinn of Oakland Township on
April 3, when he had warrant issued
for Foster on a felony charge
The warrant for Howard was placed in
the hands of Constable Gray, who served
it in San Francisco late this afternoon.
What is the bail?" inquired Howard.
Ten thousand dollars. cash." was the
reply. To the Constable's amazement
Howard produced the necessary amount
well-known jockey, to help him carry the
coin to Alameda. When the sack was
deposited in Justice Morris court this
evening the Judge nearly fell off the
bench. He thought the Constable was
playing a joke on him, but when he
opened the sack and found it was filed
with the genuine article he began to ap-
preciate that he was dealing with a de-
fendant of some Importance.
It suddenly dawned on the Judge that 1t
was long after banking hours, and he was
assuming considerable responsibility as
the custodian of so much wealth James
z. Sweeney, attorney for Howard, ap-
peared in court, and at Judge Morris sug-
bail reduced to $3.50. With this amount
in his pockets the Judge visited nearly
every store in town that boasted of
safe and deposited small portions of the
cash until he finally got rid OF 1t all.
Howard's preliminary hearing has not
vet been set.

DEMOCRATS MAKE MERRY.
Voters of the Thirtieth District Hold
HIGH links at Music Hall.

The Democratic Club of the Thirtieth
Assembly District held an enthusiastic
high jinks at Music Hall on Mission street,
near Fifth last evening. President II. H
Plant presided. The hall was filled to
overfiowing with the youths of the dis
trict. Many of the old war horses were
also there. Refreshments were served as
accessories to song and oratory.
The humorous ballads of Pat Flaherty
and Dan Kent served as a salad for the
more substantial food to be given by the
speakers. George Cabaniss talked of the
possibilities of Democratic victory at the
next election, and urged those present to
make an earnest canvass for the coming
primary election.
EX-Judge Ferral made a rousing speech,
in which he severely criticized the actions
of the Committee of One Hundred in the
recent campaign He attributed the de-
feat of the party at the last election to
the interference of the Committee of One
Hundred. Oscar Hooks, chairman of the
Democratic Central Club, and Major Will
liam Fahey. the veteran campaigner,
made short speeches.
The following officers were elected:
President, H. H. Plant; first vice presi-
dent ]. ODowd; second vice president,
William Pratt: recording secretary VIII
liam Farrell; financial secretary, Gus ia
cobs: treasurer, Frank Dumont; sergeant

straw hat, dotted veil. pair of shabby
black kid gloves, a tattered white silk

the articles We're of the cheapest possible
description, and their total value would
not exceed 10 cents. Mr.. Willis took the

Detectives Egan and Silva were ordered
to make an investigation.
The three letters are brief, and there
are several things in connection with
them that lead to the suspicion that they
are the work of some practical joker. Two
of them are ostensibly from the woman's S
husband.
The third letter is signed by the
woman herself, and reads:

letters was almost identical with those
