sneoial Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO. Jan. AT meet
ing of the State Board of Agriculture
this afternoon the office of secretary
was declared vacant by the vote OF d.
rectors Mackey, Mathews, Convey, Hen
shaw, Spreckels and Barrett Ihere-
upon Peter ]. Shields was nominated
for secretary. His election by uIanl-
nous vote followed, there being no
other nomination. The directors VINO
voted against declaring the once va
can were Fox, Cox and Boggs.
The election of Peter j. Shields re-
moves Edwin F. Smith, who has oeen
secretary of the State Agricultural so
ciety for number of years. The time
fixed for the formal transfer OF the OF
flee was April l, the interim allowing
Mr.. Smith ample time in which TO close
up the affairs over which he. has SO long
had administration.
The office of secretary Of the State
Board of Agriculture is regarded as one
of the choicest connected with the STATE
government, although it entails heaVy
responsibilities, particularly at the ap-
preach Of and during the exposition
and racing season. Mr.. Shields was
warmly congratulated by his hosts OF
friends this evening upon his good Tor
tune, Wnll6 the directors al z S1I40iA~A
that he will prove a most excellent Of
ficer.
Mr.. Shields was private secretary to
Governor Budd for many months, up to
the close of Budd's term of Office.
Formerly he was secretary Of the Code
Commission and he has been a deputy
State Librarian. Mr.. Shields was a
practicing lawyer in Sacramento be-
fore entering the public service and as
a lawyer he displayed the intelligence
and keenness of insight that distin-
guished him in the positions he subse-
quently filled. In the office of Cover
nor Budd Mr.. Shields services were
especially valuable. He is thoroughly
posted on stock and agricultural sub
jects and has himself experimental sue
cessfully with the breeding of imported
cattle. He has an extensive acquaint-
ance with public men, knows the needs
of the agricultural society and it is
generally thought that he will make a
splendid record in his new field. Mr..
Shields is a Democrat, like his prede-
cessor, Mr.. Smith.

General Mayia Rodriguez, commander
Of MatanZas province, and General
Menocal, commander of Havana prov
ince, were not present.
A document was drawn up for dis
patch to General Rodriguez asking
him to call a general meeting of Off
GERS to take action, first upon the need
of sum of money to enable the officers
and privates of the army to make a
new start in life, and secondly, with re-
gard to the lack of respect shown to
the Cuban officers by the people of
Cuba and the Americans. The latter
matter has special reference to the re-
fusal of the municipal police to salute
General Sanguilly and other officers.
The meeting to-day resulted in a
three hours talk, critical, but not I'M
friendly to the Americans, and no dis
position was shown to assume an at
titude Of protest or opposition. On the
contrary, a willingness to disband was
expressed provided money was forth
coming to give the men composing the
Cuban army a new start. AS one of
those present put the case: "As the
United States collects the islands reve-
nues. we must look to the United
States"

TWO BOYS ROBBED
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC
They Confess a Sensational Hold-Up
in Which Young James Is
Implicated

TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 1.-THE Jour
nal, in it's last edition to-day, prints
story to the effect that two To-
peka boys, Seth Rosebrook and Chad
Stowell, scarcely Is years of age who
were arrested during the fall festival
last September for holding up a farmer,
and who were sent to the Hutchinson
Reformatory, are responsible for the
Missouri Pacific hold-up and express
robbery at Leeds, Nc, September 20
last. This is the robbery for which
Jesse James Jr. is now under indict-
ment and arrest in Kansas City. I'm
der Sheriff Williams, who has been
working on the case for some time,
claims that young Stowell has made a
written confession and has divulged
where the booty, some $11, 900, is hidden
in the woods about seventy-fve miles
east of Kansas City.
Mr.. Williams, Sheriff Cook and Chief
of Police Strauss have gone to the
place to find the money. They have no
doubt whatever of the success of the
quest, for Stowell has been tested and
it has been found that he has told the
truth so far as the details connected
with the robbery are concerned.

TRAGEDY IN A BUNKHOUSE
FRANK NAGLE ASSASSINATED
AT PAULSELL.
Quarrels With Fellow Laborer, Who
Arises in the Morning and
Kills Him in His
Couch.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Jan. 7.-Paulsell, sta
ton on the Sierra railway, was this
morning the scene of an unusually cold
| blooded murder Frank Nagle, sec
ton employee, was shot as he slept by
a fellow workman named Brend The
assassin made his escape and up to a
| late hour had not been captured. A
large posse of citizens is assisting the
officer in the hunt, and should Brend
be captured there may be no recourse
to the law to punish him for his crime.
Paulsell is a point at which section
men on the Sierra Railway live. Maggie
and Brend stopped at the railway
BOARDING house, bunking in a large
room with the rest of the section hands.
After they had finished the days work
yesterday the two quarreled. Their
loud talk attracted the attention of the
foreman of the gang and he prevented
a clash. Had 1t not been for his inter
ference they would have come to blows
then and there. During the evening,
though the men did not renew their
quarrel, it was apparent that it was
not forgotten. Brend was especially
surly and bellicose, and gave it out that
he would do" his enemy before morn
ing.
Brend arose from his couch at about
o'clock this morning and dressed him
self stealthily, without arOusing his
comrades. Then, revolver in hand, he
walked over to the couch of Maggie and
deliberately began firing at the latter S
PROSTATE form. The reports of his
weapon aroused the other sleepers at
once, but before they could interfere
Brend had fired several bullets into the
body of the reclining and defenseless
man. He then dashed out of the board
ing-hOuse and escaped into the forest
growth that lines the railway.
Nagle lived two hours after he was
shot. 1t appears that after his quarrel
with Brend he had concluded to throw
up his position and leave the railway
camp, probably fearing treachery at the
hands Of the man who afterWard muir
dered him. He had packed his belong
ings and was to have left the camp
early this morning.
Every able bodied man living in the
vicinity of the place where the crime
was committed has Joined in the pur-
suit of the murderer. Feeling runs
high and there is every probability that
Brend will be given short shift should
he be captured. AS the mountains are
snow covered and Brend was without
provisions or adequate protection from
the inclement weather when he dashed
from the scene of his cold blooded
crime. it is likely that he will soon be
driven from cover. The fellow has his
revolver with him and it is not likely
that he will surrender without a fight

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
FOR THE PHILIPPINES

PITTSBURG, Jan. Major General
Henry w. Lawton, who commanded
division of the Fifth Army Corps during
the Santiago campaign, passed through
Pittsburg to-day from Washington on
his way to Columbus, Ohio, where he
will make an inspection of the soldiers
in the barracks at that place. He will
also visit and make a careful inspection
of the physical condition and the char
acter of the troops now stationed at the
several forts and barracks, prepara-
tory to sailing for Manila. AS to the
reason for taking these precautions
and making a personal inquiry into the
condition of the troops, General Law
ton said
The trip is too long and too great
for any others than those in the very
best physical condition.
General Lawton will sail from New
York January Is on the transport Mo-
hawk.
When asked about his trip to the
Philippines and preparations that
would be made before sailing the gen
eral said: THE first troop to sail for
these islands will be the Fourth Regi-
ment, now at Fort Sheridan, Chicago,
and part of the Seventeenth, now at
Columbus barracks. l mean to take
none but the very best soldiers in our
army. This will be the first time in the
history of this country that a body of
soldiers of the United States army has
crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The whole
number assigned to the islands will not
be taken at one time. The trip will be
made through the Suez canal, and as
We will stop at a number of coaling
stations and ports foreign countries to
the east will have a first opportunity
of seeing what United States soldiers
look like"
General Lawton administered a
scathing rebuke to the people of this
country who disapproved of the policy
of charging the army. He said:
There will be 10000 soldiers sent to
the Philippines and that many to Cuba:
and then. besides, there will have to be
a large number sent to Hawaii and
Porto Rico. There is only one thing
evident-we will just have to enlarge
the standing army.
At the present time, and for many
months to follow, United States trans
ports will encircle the globe. They will
be carrying volunteers back to their
homes and taking the regulars to re-
place them"

TWENTY MILLIONS
FOR THE SPANIARDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE pay
ment of $2OO0O,OOO to Spain under the
terms of the peace treaty is beginning
to receive attention from members of
the House Committee on Appropria-
tons, and it is likely that the amount
will be carried in one of the regular
appropriation hills. probably the sun
dry civil bill Chairman Cannon SAYS,
however, that the question has not been
formally considered yet, as there has
been no estimate presented and no Off
cial information on the requirements Of
the case. Moreover, there is no desire
to anticipate action on the treaty, and
unless it is ratified the House is hardly

the commission so as to include the
care of all the navigable rivers of the
State. As it is under the existing law,
the commission is restricted in it's ope-
rations to the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers. 1t has expended less
than one-third of the 100000 appro-
priation voted to it by the Legislature
two years ago, and, had it been clothed
with the proper authority, the commits
sion could have done much to improve
the condition of streams tributary to
the Sacramento and the San Joaquin,
both of which Watercourses have shown
substantial benefit from the commits
sion's work upon them.

Puts PlaGards Against
Otis on Dead Walls at
Manila.
TO9allO Leader Says He Never
Made Any Agreement to Sub
nit to American Rule.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

MANILA, Jan. 7.-Within a
few hours of the proclamation is
sued by Major General Otis in
behalf of President Mckinley the
agents of Aguinaldo billed Man
liza with a manifesto which at
tracted considerable attention.
The revolutionary President pro-
tested against General Otis sign
ing himself Military Governor Of
the Philippine Islands.
Aguinaldo, in his manifesto,
declared he had never agreed at
Singapore, Hongkong or else
where to recognize the sover-
eighty of Americans here, and in
siStS that he returned to the Phil
ippineS on an American ship
solely to conquer the Spaniards
and win independence. He as
serts that both his proclamations
of May "a and June y stated this
fact officially, and he claims Ma
jor General Merritt confirmed
this by proclamation several
days before the Spaniards capitu-
lated, stating clearly and defn-
itely that the American forces
came to overthrow the Spanish
Government and iberate the Fill
ipinos.
In conclusion Aguinaldo de
clared that he had natives and
foreigners as witnesses that the
American forces recognized, not
only by acts, that the Filipinos
were belligerents, but by publicly
saluting the Filipino flag as it
~triumphantly sailed to the skies
before the eyes of all nations"
Aguinaldo then solemnly pro-
tested in the name of the Deity,
who is empowered to direct his
brethren in the difficult task of
regeneration, against the intru-
sion of the American Govern
ment, and reiterated that he
could produce proofs that he was
brought here on the understand
ing that the Americans promised
him their cooperation to attain
independence.
The revolutionary leader then
called upon all his followers to
work together with force, and
assured them that he is con-
WINGED that they will obtain
absolute independence, urging
them never to turn from the
glorious road on which they have
already 50 far advanced"
Major General Otis attaches
no Importance to the manifesto.
He says he feels confident that
the opinion of the better classes
Of the Filipinos is not expressed
in it, but as to whether the Fill
ipino masses can be controlled
and the Filipino army kept in
check he does not know, al
though he hopes for a pacific out
come Of the trouble.

Drive Out the Trusts.

Nothing has ever equaled the growth of trusts in America-noth= ing that has sprung from the glori- ous soil and climate of California, and the year 1898 was the banner year for trusts.
 Returning prosperity, of the Me- Kinley type, brought with it an un- paralleled outburst of corpora tions and consultations, and the year closed with more trusts brew ing than ever before. A trust craze seems to be on. Much of the busi- ness of many law firms now consists of the work connected with the launching of new trusts. In dozens of important industries men are tel. egraphing and telephoning to bring about consultations of competing concerns. As seen in the list of 1898 trusts-startling even though it is only partial, their efforts are meeting with great success.
 It is within the power of the press of the country to stamp out these trusts, but 1t can never be done by fighting these unlawful combina- tions collectively. Each trust should be taken up separately and indiyid- ually, and stamped out. The paper trust IS the first that should receive attention. It is Q menace to every newspaper in the land and is about tina for the newspapers to take a fall out of this and other trusts that are sapping their vitality. There is no adequate estimate of the damage done to newspaper advertising by sts.-Shreyeport Journal.
