All the creameries of Yakima county
are now consolidated in one firm except
the Mckee. The firm is Miller Brothers,
of Tacoma, Cheal & McMaster. The lat
ter is an intelligent, shrewd and apable
young Scotchman, lately fro-l the Sound.
He stated to a HERALD reporter that the
deal was in the interest OF the producers,
and that the farmers would get their pay
for their milk regularly on the 18th of
every month. The firm Is under con-
tract with J. b. Agen of Seattle for two
years and half to supply him with
cream, and he pays the firm on the 10th
of every month. Mr.. McMaster stated
that there was no truth in the rumor that
the local trade would be supplied with
"process" butter, as the firm reserved
the right to furnish the local de-
msnd with the best creamery butter.
Mr.. Agen, VINO is backing the enterprise,
has gone to Honolulu for a couple of
months to extend the ira 10 in the Sand
wich islands. The,hrm ships 80 cans of
cream and cases of batter to Agen at
Seattle every other day.

II. j. Sniyely, on behalf of the people
made an exhaustive argument in favor of
freight reduction before the joint railway
committees at Olympia on Monday.
Mr.. Snively argued that with twenty
tons of wheat to the car, train load of
wheat to the Sound at the present rates
yielded the company 5000. The bill as
prepared now does not satisfy Mr.. Engle-

"C0LONEL" FINlGAN
The Assignee of His Creditors Makes
Complaint of Berkeley
Transfer.

SAN RAFAEL, March 15-Attorney NJ.
F. Cochrane has filed a suit in the Su-
perior Court of Marin County that will
again bring the "Hotel Rafael pauper,'
Peter A. Finigan, prominently before
the public. This time the son and daugh-
ters and the divorced wife all figure in
the same case.
Cochrane. as assignee of the estate of
Peter A. Ffnigan, desires to have a trans
fer of property, valued at S1O0, ,O00 made to
the daughters a few weeks before in
solvency proceedings were begun, set
aside. On March 1, 1898, the Superior
Court gave judgment to Mrs. Finigan for
alimony and counsel fees, amounting to
several thousand dollars. She got an exc
cution and sold his interest in property
at Berkeley. The complaint alleges that
fraud entered into the proceeding and that
1t was done to take advantage of the
creditors. Attorney Cochrane says that in
a few days separate complaint will be
fled against Mrs. FinIgan herself.

OF the amount due banks all but
about $4,000 is owing to San Francisco
institutions The book assets of the
institution were cut or written off" by
Commissioner Barrett TO the amount Of
$31 800 r. w. Martinoff, an attache Of
the bank, was placed in charge as the
representative of the commission.
President H. Eppinger and Cashier F.
D. Frost of the Bank of Paso Robles
are now in San Francisco, where they
hope to secure sufficient financial as
sistance to tide over their present diff
culties. A Jackson, the assistant cash
Ter, said to-day he was confident the
bank would reopen it's doors on Mon
day and be prepared to pay every de-
positor in full and to meet every other
demand against it. Commissioner Bar
rett is inclined to look upon the bank
suspensions in this county as species
of financial tempest in teapot"
caused primarily by unusual, unex-
pected and uncomfortable natural
causes, and secondly to the existence Of
too many small banks. He added:
THE practice of commercial banks
paying five and six per cent interest on
certificates of deposit is unsafe and
cannot under the condition of affairs
exist without jeopardizing the inter
ests of the banks. This is one of the
evils that the commission is constantly
coming in contact with, and it has met
with the most decided disapprovaI as
being unsafe. The advice is given in
all cases that this practice be discon-
tinued as soon as possible"

MANILA, March 15.-Insurgents es-
Gaping from Pasig to-day attempted to
cross our lines between San Juan del
Monte and Sanitation. A few volleys
from the American troops drove them
back.
General Lloyd Wheaton, command
ing the United States flying column,
attacked and defeated a force of 1000
Filipinos at Pasig this afternoon, in
fiicting a heavy loss upon them. The
American loss was slight. The Ameri-
cans captured $50 Filipinos. Many
bodies of rebels killed in the engage
ment are floating down the river.
Private Fornoff, Company L, Twen-

The wounded are: Private Newman,

A body of insurgents last night
opened fire on General Macarthur S

WRECKED D|R|GO
A SALVAGE PRIZE
Picked Up by the Steam
ship Tees.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, March 15-The steamer
Dirigo, which ran upon the rocks on
Midway Island last Thursday, has af-
ter all escaped becoming wreck. The
steamer Tees, of this port, which ar
rived at $50 this evening, picked her
up on Saturday afternoon last, an hour
after she was fioated, and, putting
haWsers aboard, claimed her as a SAL
wage prize. The officers on board en-
deavored to make an arrangement to
get the Tees to tow her to Juneau. but
the Victoria steamer was, of course.
unable to make such an Arrangement.
according to law. She is not permitted
to tow in American waters. being q
British bottom.
The position of the Dirigo, when
picked up by the Teees, was an ex-
tremely dangerous one, and had the
slightest squall or disturbance of the
then placid sea arose she would with
out doubt again have been wrecked
on the reef from which she had Just
escaped.
A binding snowstorm prevailed from
long before the wreck occurred until
within an hour before she was foated.
and in the storm two American steam
ers passed the wreck without seeing
her or the signals of distress she was
displaying.
The Tees came along during a break
in the storm, and had hardly got her
lines aboard and begun to tow, when
the snow began to fall thickly again,
rendering the navigation of the reef
studded waters of that vicinity most
dangerous, especially for an iron yes
sci like the Tees, hampered as She
was by her consort.
The Dirigo, when taken by the Tees,
was lying about q ships length from
the reef, where she was wrecked, and
was anchored with her hawsers run
ming across it. She was helpless, as
her engines were lifted out of place dur
ing the accident and were utterly use
less. Had she lifted her anchor, ac-
cording to the officers of the Tees, she
would have become wreck again in
an instant by drifting on other reefs
near by Her hull was torn badly by
her contact with the reef, but by dint
of hard work her officers and crew
managed to patch the hull with canvass
and boarding so that she could make
the voyage to Juneau, thirty-six miles
away, in safety. She is now Lying at
the Alaskan port and when patched
sufficiently will be towed down. orders
were received by the Tees and tele-
graphed this evening to Seattle, asking
that a tug be sent up for her. This lit
tie service by the Tees will no doubt
result in a handsome reward in the
way of salvage, as the Dirige and her
cargo are valuable.
Officials of the Canadian Pacific Nav
igation Company will go to Seattle to-
morrow to institute salvage proceed
ings against the Dirigo.
Pilot Nichols, who was on the bridge
at the time OF the wreck, is, like Cap
tain Roberts, a sick man. When the
Tees reached the wreck he was con-
fined to his bed with severe attack of
pneumonia.
1t is believed here among insurance
men that the Dirigo wreck will have
the effect of sending up insurance rates
on vessels plying to Alaska

PASO ROBLES, March 15.-Bank
Commissioner Barrett concluded his
labors in this county to-day and will
leave here in the morning for San Fran
cisco. The affairs of the Bank of Tenn
pleton and of the Citizens Bank of
Paso Robles were Investigated. Both
were found in excellent condition, so
far as the interests of their depositors
are concerned. No attempt was made
to examine the Bank of Paso Robes,
as this institution is a private concern,
over which the Bank Commission has
no jurisdiction.
AS the result Of its suspension the
Bank Of Templeton will retire from
business after it has paid all of its de-
positors in full, which its stockholders
are in a position and ready to do. Its
condition at this time as found by
Commissioner Barrett is as follows:

SAN JOSE, March 15.-A petition was
filed in Judge Lorigan's ,-rt this

5000 on two notes and Simpson has two
notes aggregating $2250 against him.
The law provides directors shall not

TRADE COMBINE
OF CYCLE MAKERS
Fifty Millions Capital
Involved.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The Herald
tomorrow will say: Makers of bicycles
have arranged the details of the for
nation of a trade combine that will
involve capital to the amount of $780,
100000 1t is understood that ten of the
leading makers Of wheels have entered
the combine and that several others
will probably be persuaded to add their
signatures to the agreement
A. G. Spalding is credited with being
the moving spirit in the proposed COM
bine. With him are associated A. A.
Pope and r. Philip Gormully of the
Gormully & Jeffrey Manufacturing
Company of Chicago. Attempts to form
a bicycle combine have been made in
the past, but all have been futile. pri-
marily because the small manufacture
ers could not be eliminated.
With the coming of the chainless BIZ
cycle, however, the situation was al
tered. While the transmission of power
by means of shaft and gearing is not a
novelty, the adoption of it to the use
of the bicycle, involving the construc-
ton of complicated machinery neces-
Sary to turn out the gears, is said to
nave cost one company five years of
labor and an expenditure of more than
$3OO,0O0. A company was formed In
New Jersey and Lyons to manufacture
bevel gear bicycles, but under it's pat
ents privileges were granted to some Of
the largest concerns in the trade 1t is
upon the foundation afforded by these
licensed concerns that the new organi-
zation is to be founded. An the com
panies licensed have agreed not to cut
prices under penalty of forfeiture of
license and the payment of a cash pen
atty said to be $5, 900 900.
When this had been arranged A. G.
Spalding set sail for Europe At the
time it was said he went for his health.
In the course of Mr.. Spalding's search
for health abroad it is said he obtained
in France the control of the Acetacyne
patents, which are considered to be the
foundation of the beveled gear wheel
the French having used this form of
power transmission several years be-
fore it was tried elsewhere In England
the cross roll or geared patents were
obtained. No change in the bicycle
business for the present year is con-
templated, but next year each manu-
facturer's products will be marketed.
the middlemen's profits being eliminat-
ed. That all this had been carefully
planned is shown by the recent organi-
cation of $5000.00O bicycle saddle com
pany by A. L. Garford, former presi-
dent of the National Cycle Board of
Trade.
