Agnaist Railroad Company.

Robert Burch. former employe If the
Southern Pacific Company, who had

years ago while in the discharge of his
duties. has recovered an $500 judgn ent
against the company. The award was
made yesterday by jury in the United
States Court at Carson and the COM

rehearing.
Burch fed his action against the COM
pany soon after the accident failing to
obtain satisfactory compromise. The
case has attracted much attention, es-
pecialy among railroad men, as it in
volved the liability of the company in
certain cases. The company set up the
plea of contributory negligence, but this
was apparently not entertained by the
jurymen.
Burch will be a permanent cripple as
result of his misfortune. He accord
ingly demanded s26.500 damages

Cincinnati, April 2S.-The Drake
Legislative committee has adjourned,
subject to the call of its chairman.
Lack of funds and the refusal of State
Auditor Guilbert to pay the commit

was no chance for anyone but Brack-

CHINESE BOYCOTT.
Bishop Bashford TestlEes Before I'M
migration Committee.

Washington, d. C.-Bishop j. w.
Bashford, resident bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Shang-
hal, China, Tuesday testified before
the senate committee on immigration
which is investigating the recent Chi
nese boycott of American goods. He
expressed the opinion that the boycott
means of retaliation, because of the
exclusion enforced by the United
States against Chinese coolies, must
be ineffective because of the thrift Of
the Chinese merchant. He said that
the fear of another boycott caused
many merchants to buy an excess of
American goods to tide over the
threatened suspension of commerce
with this country.
Minister Rockhill was quoted by
Bishop Bashford as saying that If the
American congress should make some
slight concession to China in the ex-
cluson laws there would be no fur
ther danger of the boycott again be-
ing invoked.
| Bishop Bashford said that greater
freedom for the admission of student
and merchant classes, he thought, was
the concession they desired. He ex-
pressed the fear, however, that II
congress adjourned without some ac.
tion there might be another out
break.

A Record Breaker.

Columbus, O., April 2S.-The annual
report of State Mine Inspector Harri-
son, filed with the governor Friday,
shows that 1905 was a record year for
coal production in Ohio. The tonnage
for 1905 amounted to 25,S34,657 tons,
representing a gain of over 100000
tons over the year 1904. This decided
gain in output was probably due to the
increased demand for fuel, absence of
strikes and lockouts of any conse-
quence, and the general prosperity OF
the country at large manifested on
every hand.

Act Applies Only Since Passage.

Columbus, O.-The supreme court
Monday handed down decision
reversing the Judgment of the
circuit court of Seneca county in the
case of the city of Tiffin against Kontz
and others. This is the case involving
the construction of the Longworth
municipal bonding act. The Long
worth act limited the bonded indebt-
edness that any municipalities might
assume without submitting it to a vote
of the people to s per cent. of the total
tax duplicate. The circuit court of
Seneca county held that this included
all outstanding bonds. The supreme
court reverses this and holds that the
limit applies only to bonds issued
since the passage Of the Longworth
act. This decision in effect holds
good all bonds issued under this
act. -

Outlined in the Briefest Manner
Possible.
THE FRISCO DISASTER.

Congress never intended that its
appropriation of $2,5Oo,0O0 should be
expended by the city of San Francis
co." said Acting Secretary of War Oil
yer. The money, according to the res
olution of congress, he said, was to be
expended by the war department to re-
imburse that department for the ra-
tions, tents, blankets, ETC., belonging
to the army which were rushed to San
Francisco and also to purchase other
relief stores.
The war department gave out Sc
ries of kilograms from Gov. Pardee, of
California, and Gen. Greeley, COM
manding the federal troops in San
Francisco, the intention being to quiet
any rumors of clashes between the
state and federal authorities. The
governor asks that federal troops be
not withdrawn.
A feeling akin to CONSERVATION was
created when Mayor Schmitz stated
that the city faced a shortage in the
food supply. 1t had been the popular
belief, and that of many officials also
that San Francisco, through the gen
erous aid of the nation, had beel
placed in a position above want for i
long time to come.
There is current in Wall street re
port that syndicate of New Yorl
bankers is preparing to underwrit'
the S200,OOO,O00 bond issue proposed
for San Francisco, provided the ma
tional government will guarantee tn,
interest.
The insurance problem in San Fran
cisco is expected to be solved by ;
compromise. Insurants' talk is les
radical and company agents realiZ
that caution is necessary, as the i'll
surance involved is $190,O00,000, o
S15,000,000 more than the capital ant
surplus of the companies concerned.
The first street car was run across
the city, Mayor Schmitz acting as mo
torman, amid cheers of thousands.
Herbert E. Law, representative o
San Francisco business men, is on hi
way to Washington to ask the govern
ment for loan of s1OO,O00,0O0 for re
building the city.
The property losses in San Frar
cisco are placed by conservative fir
underwriters at 200,000,000, tn
largest in theacountry's history.
