Dricoll and Russell Have Employed
 Counsel.

 J. J. Parker appeared for the defend ants and so stated. The Chief of Pc ice asked the court for a continuance in these cases until next Thursday and by consent of Attorney Parker the court so ordered.
 Driscoll and Russell wore each a nom ehalant air when they appeared before the bar and neither had a word to say. The men walked back to their respective cells and later had a barber to come and shave them. They are cool and nou-com- municative, but asserted that they had not been in Jacksonville or any other Florida city, nor in Georgia. They sa nothing, however. as to their visit to Montgomery. Their attorney declined to say anything. but there is a surmise he Is preparing some kind of a coup.
 Chief Case was asked this morning if Montgomery would get the two men or if they would be turned over to the Jack sonvilIe authorities. His rep'y was in ef- feet that he had the men and proposed to hold them until they were tried in the Recorders Court. He intimated that. aside from the dangerous and suspicious charge now against them on the docket there would be two others but he fiatly refused to name them. It Is the opinion that these charges will be Having in their possession burglars tools" and bringing. stolen property into the State.' both of which are misdemeanors.
 The two Jacksonville officials stated that the warrants from their city arrived here yesterday. They abs stated that they felt they had the prior claim on the prisoners and were awaiting patiently the action of the local authorities. as we'll as for information from their chief.
 Detective Murphy of Savannah, Ga, arrived here this afternoon and pro- nouneed Driscoll and Russell as the men who broke into Foye and Eckstein's gafe in his city. He says they got $1 200 there.

 in Favor of Foreigners.
Advertiser Bureau, Colorado Building,

Washington. Dec. Il. When the Panama enterprise of the ad- ministration was sprung into debate in the House to-day by the vigorous speech of Representative Dinsmore, of Arkansas, 1t brought on clash of party combat for which members of both sides were not unprepared. It had been fully expect ed.
 Chairman Hit of the Foreign. Affairs Committee, undertook the defense or the administration and adroitly made the best of them. The Republicans made great racket of jubiiation when Hit thanked the Lord for a man who would put the canal through.
 Minority Leader Williams, spoke for the Democrats brilliantly and aroused continuous enthusiasm. His utterances. usually deliberate and sometimes drawi- ed, were on this occasion uttered with rapidity Of eloquence afiame. His declara- ton that now that we were to, have the canal, that the start on 1t appeared to be an accomplished fact. the Democrats were no such idiots as not to make the best of the fact, was loudly applauded by his side. and especially his ascertion-"But we are not pfoud of the part our gov- ment has played"
 Possibly the most enjoyed sally by Mir. Williams was that in which. following MT. Hit. he said: q note that the friends of the gentleman from Illinois,. congrat- uiate him, and they do well to congratu- late him, because he has almost made actual facts appear impossible and fc- tions appear to be actual facts. but there still remains some plain. palpable, ob- vious facts which the gentleman has not disclosed. One of these facts is that the so-called Republic of Panama is an abor- ton upon the surface of the earth. mis- begotteu. hag-born. and to use the words of William shakespeare. "ditch deliver ed" '.Not all history nor aii the talk in the. world can do away with that simple fact."

HIS CENTURY RUN.

. SAN FRANCISCO, February SO.
n. Clark, chief steward of the steam
ship Alameda yesterday completed his
hundredth round trip on that vessel.
OF these 100 voyages "a have been be-
tween San Francisco and Australia and
the others were between here and
Honolulu. Clark has been in the SER
vice of the Oceanic Steamship Company
for eighteen years and is the oldest and
best known steward on the Pacific. He
was in the employ of the Pacific Mail
Company for twentysiX years, for
three years of which he was port ste
ward of that corporation. For five
years prior to entering the Mail Com
pany'S service he was engaged on
boats running between here and Port
land. During the thirty-four years he
has been traversing the Pacific he has
come in contact with thousands of ira
velers and has a speaking acquaintance
with more globe trotters than any other
steamship official on the Pacific. AS a
steward he is famous and his skill as a
caterer has done much to make the
Alameda a favorite ship with the ira
yelling public. He has passed in and
out through the Golden Gate so often
that he has lost all track of the count.
He leaves on the Alameda on Satur-
day with the hope of rolling up another
century of runs to his credit before the
time comes for retirement.

PACIFIC SQUADRON
SAILING SOUTH
FOUR VESSELS NOW ON THEIR
WAY TO HONDURAS TO PROTECT
AMERICAN INTERESTS.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 1.-The
four warships in commission in the
harbOr will be on the way to Amapala,
a port on the Pacific coast side of Hon
duras early next week. The New
York the Boston and the Ranger are
now in the bay ready to start at an
hours notice, and they will be joined
by the Marblehead by Saturday. The
latter vessel is at the Navy Yard hav-
ing repairs made to her capstan en-
CINE, and aside from that she is ready
for a long cruise at sea.
In view of the orders Admiral Glass
relieved Admiral Casey in the command
of the Pacific fleet this afternoon. 1t
had been arranged that the flags of the
admirals should be changed on Feb
ruary 10, but the hurry orders to the
fleet to get into Southern waters
prompted the change being made in the
commanding officer in advance of the
arranged time. There will be no eX-
traordinary display when Admiral
Casey takes his leave of the flagship
New York and Admiral Glass takes
command. Admiral Casey will read his
orders to the crew assembled on the
quarterback, and as his flag is being
lowered there will be a salute of thir-
teen guns. Then Admiral Glass will
read his orders assigning him to the
command of the squadron, and as his
flag is hosted over the warship it will
be given the customary salute of thir-
! teen guns.
The fleet on its way down the coast
! will stop at Magdalena bay, where they
will repenish their bunkers with coal
| and possibly indulge in a little target
| practice.
The order to the fleet to hurry to the
| Honduras port was because of trouble
| that has arisen in the Central American
republic in which American interests
| are in jeopardy. One vessel would be
! sufficient top rotect American interests
there, but the administration desired t
keep all the vessels of the fleet to-
gether, and at the same time have then
! closer to Venezuela should their ser
| vices be needed there. -.

JUDGE DECIDES
Against. SPRECKELS
SUIT OVER MONEY PAID FOR IN
TEREST IN CAR EQUIPMENT co.
INVENTION WORTHLESS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-Judge
Sloss declued against kuuOIph SpreCh-
els yesterday III the SUIT OF SpreCkrls
against H. w. GOrrill to recover $oUJO
which the former had paid as the pur-
chase prlce Tor certain shares Of sock
OF the Pacific Car Equipment Company.
Gorrill was the inventor OF patent
sleeve for the axle of car trucks, ana
lac induced Spreckels to BUY the stock
in his company by representing that
his invention was a certain metal sleeve
whose manufacture would prove remu-
neratiye. Thereafter the stock of the
company was merged into a new cor
poratiOl, with Spreckels and Gorrill as
partners, and then the former found
that the invention was not quite what
he expected nor what it had been rep
resented. He returned to Gorrill the
stock and demanded a return N his
money. GOrrill refused ana Spreckeid
sued to recover on the grounds Of ms
rescission of the stock.
The court decided against the plain
tiff on the ground that since he had
purchased stock of the Pacific Car
Equipment Company and then that
company had been dissolved he could
not return the stock of another corpOr-
aUlon To the defendant and call ii le-
gal RECESSION. The stock was not the
same to Gorrill nor equal in value 10
the stock he had sold. The court also,
while finding that Gorrill had misrep-
resented his patent, took occasion to
find that the said misrepresentation
were not through any reprehensible or
dishonest motive, but through over
enthusiasm.
