ness in Oakland.

For some days past rumor has
been current in Oakland of the pros
pective formation of stock company
capitalized at $25, 900 for the purpose
of carrying on a wholesale and retail
business in farming implements, bug
gies, carriages, etc, and also for the
purpose of conducting a general
blacksmithing, timing and plumbing
business.
For some years Mr.. A. ID. MAYOR
has been conducting such a business
but upon small scale as compared
with the business expected to be car
ried on by the prospect re stock com

MAYORS business and greatly enlarge
it,
The stock will consist of five hun
dred shares of $50 each, large num-
Der of which have already been sub
scribed for. Under the plan of the
promoters no one will be allowed to
own more than twenty shares of the
capital stock. Under this arrange
ment the capital will be largely di-
vided and many persons will become
interested, thus ensuring the success
of the enterprise. Many of the prom
inent business men and farmers of
Oakland and vicinity have become
interested in the proposed new cor
poration, considering it not only ssfe
but an investment that will result in
paying a large dividend The fact
that the business is already estab-
lished and has proven a money maker
speaks well for the future success of
the business.

Finally, We should in all of our ex-
tradition treaties hereafter incorpor-
ate this clause now in our convention
of 1882 with Belgium: AN attempt
against the life of the head of a for
elgn government, or against that of
any member of his family, when such
attempt comprises the act either of
murder or assassination or of poison
ing, shall not be considered an Of

treaties should all be so modified. and
the reciprocal stipulation that like
attempts upon the life of our presi-
dent and vice-president and other
officers in line of succession to the
presidency should not be considered
a political offense, should be inserted
to facilitate the extradition of crimi-
nal anarchists upon our demand.

anarchists and should be excluded as
immigrants when they come to our
ports. The immutable law of the
human conscience classes them with
criminals who have no right to share
our country with us.
"In each country from which we
admit immigrants one port of depart
ure should be designated. The consul
there should have discretion to grant
or refuse passport to an immigrant
upon conditions approved by the
amended law excluding anarchists
among others. All immigrants with
out such passports to be returned on
the vessel wherein such immigrant S
come to our ports of entry.
"Athorize the commissioner-gene
of immigration, with the approval of
the secretary of the treasury, to make
regulations to carry into effect this
statute and to employ twelve special
agents to investigate in the country
of origin the fitness of an applican t
for a consurs passport.
This will decrease immigration
and reduce, of course, our supply of
anarchists who mingle with them. If
the time should come when congress
will make it improbable to ocean
steamship lines to carry a single i'm
migrant, such act will do more good
to the American people than all our
devices to exclude undesirable immi-
grants.

Well Delivered Speech.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Senator L.
E. McComas, of Maryland, delivered
speech in the senate to-day on the
subject of anarc hism and the most
practicable means of its suppression.
He was listened to attentively by
his colleagues during nearly two
hours. When he had concluded his
remarks a dozen or more senators,
democrats and republicans, walked
over to the Maryland senator's seat
and congratulated him. Senator Nc
Comas said that within seven years
President Garnet, Prime Minister Can
ovas del Castillo, the Empress of
Austria, King Humbert and Presi-
dent Mckinley have been foully as
sassinated by anarchists. Our
homes" he said, are still under the
shadow of national grief for our best
beloved president, and the heart of
the world is with us III our sorrow.
"A ruler at once SO gentle, so Sc
rene, so wise, so strong, the world
hitherto had never known. This bru-
tai anarchist of Polish descent slew
that president whom all the people
most loved and who most loved all the
people.
This tragedy came just when our
Republic had advanced to the front
rank of international powers and
when we began to realize our illimit-
able greatness. The unspeakable as
sassin received capital punishment
under the law of a state, though the
crime assailed the sovereignty of the
nation, changed the head of the Gov
eminent, endangered the nation
policies and rudely disturbed the
business and pursuits of the whole
people.
