WATERS SUE PACIFIC
MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY
Refuse to Scrub Paint When Ordered
by the Master and Are Thrown
Into Jail.

Joseph Gonzalez and Manual Hevia
filed a libel in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday against the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company to re-
cover $66 66 each for wages alleged to
be due them as walters and for such
damages as to the court may seem
proper for false Imprisonment.
The complaint recites that when
the steamship City of Para, on which
the libelants were employed, arrived
at Panama they were dismissed with
out cause, and, on the complaint of
the master, were imprisoned in Pan
anna for two days. 1t is recited fur
ther that Gonzalez was obliged to pay
$50 for his passage from Panama to
this port and that Hevia worked his
way.
H. w. Hutton, their attorney, said
that his clients were placed in Jail
at Panama for refusing to scrub paint
when ordered to do so and that they
refused because it was no part of a
walters duty.

Friends Daughter

The announcement published yes

in-law of the late Jose Guardiola,
whose local property was sold at auc-
ton last week and the statement that
the visitor had questioned the fee
asked by George de Urioste, local Con-
sui for the Argentine Republic for rep
resenting Mrs. Cristobal. daughter of
the late Guardiola, in the distribution
OF the latter's estate, has brought forth
a response from Urioste. In connec-
ton with the matter George de Urioste
yesterday made the following state
ment:
With reference TO the fees for the services
that l have rendered in this matter there
seems to be a difference OF opinion between
Mr.. Cr.stobal and myself but has been
already published; this will probably be
amicably settled between us. Regarding my
services. II was Indispensable that l should
consult a lawyer and Charles Page has
been my legal representative for years |
naturally consulted with him. His labors have
been very arduous and have most certainly
benefited Mrs. Cristobal. l desire 1t to be
understood that l have done my very best TO
conserve the interests OF Mrs CrstobaI in
her fathers estate and say this so that the
general public Will not receive any wrong
impression from the statements published.
In reference to the previous will of
Jose Guardiolas in which George de
Urioste was named as executor the
latter stated that he withdrew his Pc
tition for letters after he had learned
that 4 second will had been executed
by Guardiola, and, upon the solicita-
ton of Mrs. Cristobal, agreed to give
his attention to Mrs. CristobaIs inter-
ests.

Lecture at the Prcss CIub.

room Of the Press Club. Views of In

by Monson during his latest trip TO
Mexico and Arizona were reproduced
on the screen. The collection Of pic

the kind in existence. The entertain

rather small person went forth one day
And walked with his head In the air.
Unheeding the flowers that bloomed in his
way
He walked with his head in the air.
Perhaps he was one of the sensible lot
Who say the spring poets are all tommy
rot,
And who didn't like fiowers-some people
do not
So he walked with his head in the air.
Avoiding the lowlier friends he might find,
He walked with his head In the air.
With some possible prince for a patron in
mind
And seemed to look down on the neighbor-
ing crowd
And proclaim that no off-hand address
was allowed:
Just the chum for prince who was prop
erly proud.
He walked with his head in the air.
A prince came along. and our friend felt a
thrill,
AS he walked with his head In the air.
And said, ''Will he see me? I'm sure that
he will
If walk with my head in the air.
But the prince met some jockeys, a dancer
or two.
And all sorts ef people got In to his crew,
And the one of the few that the prince
never knew
Was the man with his head in the air.

New York for Parker.

The New York democrats yesterday took
the logical, and really the only sensible,
course open to them. Instructions for
Judge Parker were demanded by every
consideration Of courage and good politics.
With his friends in control of the conven-
ton by vote of two to one, and the wires
from other states hot with appeals for
definite action in his behalf. 1t would have
been imbecile for his supporters to forego
their advantage and plain duty. They rose
to the occasion. and completed their work
by putting his case at st. Louis into COM
petent hands and coopering the delegation
with the bands of the unit rule. Tammany
was allowed a place among the big four,
but Mr.. Hill picked the man and saw that
he was harmless. George Ehret is rich
brewer, and however much he may foam
at the glass at having to play Mr.. Hills
game under Mr.. Hills very eyes, he can
but do it. Parker is the cry, and Mr. Hill
sets the pitch and leads the chorus.
Tammany fought to the last, and gave q
characteristic exhibition of cheek and shall
low insincerity. When a man like Senator
Grady. acting as the :nouthpiece of man
Ike Charles F. Murphy and in behalf of
the Tiger, solemnly asked the convention to
take course which ne thought would not
ccmport with the dignity Of the chief judge
OF the court of appeals" risk was taken
as to the security of the roof. The wonder
was that the laughter of the gods-not the
chaps in the gallery, but those old Greek
chaps dwelling in the biue-did not jar the
house down. Tammany, of course, was
playing for situation at st. Louis where
by Mr.. Cleveland, or Mayor Mcclellan or
Mr.. German might hope to profit. Let New
York fail to instruct for Parker, and New
York would be at sea.
The platform is about such deliverance
as the situation suggested. 1t is vague to
the last degree. 1t fits the man who has
no record politically, and who if nominated
cannot hope to win at the polls without
the aid of a united party and many re-
cruits from the independents You may
read 1t backwards or forwards, right side
up or upside down, with or without spec
tacles, by sunlight or moonlight or STAR
light, and there is anything and everything
or nothing in it, as you may desire If
Judge Parker could not stand on that plat
form he would not be able to stand alone.
The author deserves medal as an oracle
of the indefinite.

speak low. The dead lie here.

The Antitrust Law.

The New York Sun, which desires the
nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland at st. Louis.
complains of the following plank Of the
platform adopted by the republicans of
Massachusetts,:
'srhe Sherman Antitrust law. enacted
by a republican administration, was the
first recognition OF the duty of the fed
eral government to protect the people
against the trusts. monopolies or con-
tracts in restraint Of trade. A democratic
administration failed to enforce It,"
The statement made Is substantially
true. Not only did the second Cleveland
administration fail to enforce the anti
trust law. but leading democratic

dicted such a result at the very Begin
ming of the administration. It saw in the

General a concession to trust interests,

Finish the Frieze.

The death of F'ilippo Costaggini who
painted for some years In the execution of
the Brumidi designs, suggests that the cele-
brated fresco In the rotunda of the Cap
itol dome has never been finished, two
panels remaining for the artists brush to
depict some further phases of the nations
growth and history. A belief obtains that
the principal cause Of the failure to finish
the work is the inability of the authori-
ties to decide upon the exact topics of
the missing illustrations. Another ex-
PLANTATION is that the possibility of
revival Of sectional feeling through the
utilization of the civil war episode has de-
TERED them from selecting that vitality
significant phase of American history for
one of the panels, and that it has been
deemed unwise to ignore it altogether.
Thus a deadlock, 1t is said, has existed for
many years. and unless strong pressure
of public sentiment is brought to bear upon
the officials or legislators whose jurisdic-
ton embraces this matter. it will continue
indefinitely, with the result of forever
leaving the interior of the national state
house in a state of incompletion.
The civil war episode is no longer the
cause of rancOrous sentiment that once it
was. and it could surely be depicted in
patriotism of the people of both sections
The scene of the surrender at AppomattOx
suggestive not merely of conquest but of
reunion, should today arouse no bitterness
in the breasts of southerners observing it
on the walls of the Capitol. 1t is great
historic fact, one of the very greatest in
all history, one of the most significant, far
reaching and wholesome, and it is today 50
regarded by the majority of southerners.
Such a fact might fittfngly take its place
in the series of the elements which have
contributed to the American greatness.
But, however this may be decided, what
ever subjects may be chosen, the duty of
the completion of this long neglected fresco
is plain. If Indifference to the appearance
of the great building is now at fault. surely
this day of high ideals for the national
capital should yield a determination In
some authoritative quarter to score results.
The gap in the frieze should be constant
reminder to all members of Congress who
pass through the rotunda Of a neglected
item of good governmental housekeep -ng,
the care of which must at once be under
taken. 1t is unfortunate that the delay
lasted until the painters who worked on
the original project and executed the first
designs have died, but there need be no
question as to the governments ability to
secure equally efficient artistic talent just
as soon as the decision is reached to COM
piete this historic work.

Chinese Exclusion.

China. having denounced our treaty with
her bearing upon the point, 1t was natural
ana proper that Congress should be asked

clusion of Chinese labor from our shores.

Hearst Disapproves spineless Platform.

From the New York American.
The platform offered by the state con-
vention at Albany is about what might
have been expected from body ruled by
the Hills, Belmonts and McCarrens. That
is to say. 1t Is safe" and Conservative"
enough for the democratic party TO stand
on IL its sole purpose Is to avoid giving
cause for alarm to the intrenched special
interests which have possession Of the fed
eral government. But as a message from
the democratic party OF the empire state
to the democracy of the Union 1t Is an alb
surdfty, and much worse than an absurd
ity.
1t is drawn without art, for it's spirit
Is perfectly apparent. The effort was to
present declaration of PRINCIPLES" which
should avoid the calamity OF offending the
trusts. and at the same time Deceive the
democratic voter into thinking tina. he was
receiving the pure milk of democr, tic doc
trfne. The avoidance of offense to the
trusts has been successfully achieved but
the other half of the intention has failed
iamentably. No democrat who knows what
democracy means can for an instant mis-
take the true significance OF this poor skei-
eton Of platform. Leaving aside the per-
functory arraignment OF the republican
party, Attorney General Knox and Mr..
Baer OF the coal trust could have sat down
With Mr.. Hill and Mr. Belmont and Mr.
McCarren and shared with a good will In
the concoction of the fieshless platitudes
which make up the resolutions 1t is not
what the platform says, but what 1t fails
to say, that condemns 1t as an expression
Of democratic faith and purpose.
