A MEXICAN GOVERNOR HERE.
General Canedo of Sinaloa Tells of
His States Prosperity.

General Rafael Canedo,' Governor of
Sinaloa, one Of the northern States of
Mexico, arrived in this city Tuesday night
and will be at the Occidental for a few
days. General Canedo has served nearly
sixteen years as the chief official OF Sina-
loa and Is just about completing his
fourth term. From other sources it is
learned that the general will most likely
be honored once more with the high Of
fee, as he is held In high esteem by his
people. He came directly from the City
of Mexico, where he went on state bust
ness, the nature Of which he did not care
TO divulge. He Will return in five or six
days 10 Mazatlan- This is not the gen.
erals first visit to this coast, as he came
here six months ago on matters concern
ing his Government.
Governor Canedo is the favorite general
of President Diaz Of the Mexican repub-
lie, who has likewise been in office for
ions in several wars and are warm per-
sOnal friends.
The mining prospects in our section
are excellent" said General Canedo last
evening, and my people are in a very
prosperous condition. There is much more
American capital invested in the northern
portion of Mexico than English, though
IN the central part English investments
predominant. A syndicate has been
formed for the purpose Of building a rail-
road from Durango to Mazatlan and the
two places will be connected by rail in
the very near future. The Importance OF
this line cannot be OVerestimated and the
citizens are enthusiastic regarding the
contemplated Improvement.

RESTAURANT MEN ON TRIAL.
Maison st. German Proprietors Ac-
cused of Selling Unstamped
Wilma

German Pouchan and Louis Schiatter
were on trial before a jury yesterday in
the United States District Court for vio-
lating the revenue laws. Deputy Internal
Revenue Collectors Fletcher and Worth
told how they had bought several bottles
of wine from the defendants at their
place of business, the Maison st. Ger
main, SO O'Farrell street. Some Of the
bottles were minus the war tax stamp.
and others had been refilled so often that
the stamps they originally bore had been
washed away.
Collector Lynch testified that Pouchan
had admitted to him that the bottles had
been rehlIed without being restamped but
that other restaurant men were doing
likewise and that he did not think the
Government officers would attempt to en-
force the law until after the Secretary
Of the Treasury had passed upon petit
ton which the restaurant men OF San
Francisco had sent to Washington. Pou-
chan offered to make a money settlement
with the Government but Lynch refused
to compromise without first consulting
with the United States Attorney.
contradicted Mr.. Lynch. He said he
never made the admission credited to him
He and his partner had warned the wait
ers against selling unstamped wine.
There were 100 bottles of wine in a large
box back of the counter, and these were
unstamped bottles in the box-not intend
ed for sale that day-and these had been
carelessly sold to the revenue officials by
the waiter.
The case went over until to-day
Assistant United States Attorney Wood
worth is representing the Government

Charles Silders, alias Loeer, the burg

to strange himself in his cell in the City
Prison yesterday morning. He was
again unsuccessful, but feels sure that he
will yet accomplish his purpose.
After his attempt Tuesday a careful

unloosened the necktie. Silders was pur-
pie in the face, and after partially re-
covering he beat his head against the ce-
ment floor of the cell. He was hand
cuffed and sent TO the Receiving Hos

At the hospital he was placed in a
padded cell and a few minutes later Chief
Steward Butcher observed him attempting
to batter his brains out against the floor.
He was taken from the cell and strapped

WONG TAN IN DANGER
OF LIFE AND LIBERTY
HE TESTIFIED AGAINST A MUIR
DERER, WHO RETALIATES.
Is Arrested for Alleged Perjury, and
Warned to Stay Away From
Chinatown.

Wong Tan is victim of the wrath and
enmity of one Ong Foon and the latter s
tongs, and now languishes in the City
Prison on a charge of perjury sworn TO
by one All Joe, who, according to the pris-
oner, is a fake"
Detective SiIvey arrested Tan on Kear-
ny street yesterday afternoon at the re-
quest Of the complaining witness, who
gives his address as 709 Dupont street.
The incarceration of Wong Tan recalls
a murder and an attempted extortion
case, and according to the prisoner he
has been worried by arrest through his
connection with both affairs.
1t appears that Ong Foon was arrested
four or five weeks ago on the complaint
of various Chinese slave owners, and
charged with attempting to extort money
from an inmate of a bEothel. He was dis
charged by Judge Mogan, but while FooIl
was leaving the court room he was taken
in custody by Deputy Sheriff of Santa
Rosa on a charge OF murder he is said
to have committed there.
Wong Tan was witness to the crime
and ever since has been in danger of
death and annoyance at the hands of Ong
Foon's friends. He has been repeatedly
warned of his danger in coming to San
In speaking of his arrest last evening.
Tan, who is an intelligent Chinaman, said
arrested for telling the truth about Ong
Foon's shooting of his friend, All 10y, IN
November, 1892.
He claims Foon shot 10y in a quarrel
over so cents and as he witnessed the
shooting he testified against the murder
err. This, he said has aroused the enmity
OF Ong Foon's friends, and they are many,
as he is a highlander in high standing.

Tan said that Lieutenant Esola warned
him to look out for himself and stay
away from Chinatown, as he could not
have a man constantly protecting him.

the inevitable. He maintained that the
longer man keeps away from the church
and the longer he defers the duty which
he owes himself and God by keeping the
commandments the more he feels less in

his church.
The lecture was concluded with q de-
soription of the deathbed repentance OF

from the church for the reason that he
hoped through Divine Providence to be

Yesterday morning. on motion Of Assist
ant United States Attorney Banning, the
court ordered him deported and then de-
clared that the hour for the noon recess
had arrived Mr.. Banning requested the
court to sign the order for deportation in
order that the Chinaman might depart
on the steamer which would leave. an
hour later, he having promised that If al
lowed to go on that steamer he would
pay his own fare. But the court checked
Mr.. Banning before he could make the
full explanation and announced that he
would sign the order at the opening Of
the court at the hour of p. m.
Clerk Morse of the District Court said
that there was no reason why the China
man and his counsel could not have made
their motion a day or two earlier. II had
become a common practice to bring in
these cases on the last day and expect
the court to suspend all other business
for the purpose Of attending to them.
Chan will go on the next steamer at the
expense of the Government.
