The Past Year a Good One for Their Trade. A Jealous Eye Kept on Anti-Beer Legislation. -Proceedings of the Presbyterian G-er.eral Assembly—The Baptist Publishing Society, Etc. Associated Press Dispatches. | Washington, May 21.—The United States Brewers' Association began its thirtieth annual convention here today. Delegates are present from all parts of the United States, representing $195, --000,000 capital. Chairman Lefens, in his address, said he was glad to be able to state that trade and the interests of the brewers were in a more hopeful state than a year ago. He referred to the result of the prohibi tion election in Pennsylvania, and added: "By no means, however, has the time come when we can relax our vigilance, for what our opponents have lost in influence with the people direct, as shown by all the recent elections where prohibitory laws were submitted to the people, they are trying to regain in Washington by the introduction of bills intended to accomplish, through national channels, what the people of the states refused to endorse." In closing, Mr. Lefens called attention to the subject of the representation of the brewing trade at the world's fair in 1802. The report of the board of trustees is very lengthy, and deals with the legisla tion pending before congress affecting the interests of the brewers. On this point, it says, there never was a time in the whole history of the association when so many attempts had been made to injure the brewing industry by means which do not require the sanction of the people, and would not obtain it if they could be submitted to a vote. The report speaks of the bill for the appointment of a commission for the investigation of the liquor traffic, and the efforts of the brewers' committee to have it amended in a manner promising a fair, impartial and competent investi gation. The report says the trustees en deavored to convince the committee on ways and means that any increase of the tariff on hops, barley, malt, etc., would be unjustifiable from an economic point of view, but failed to accomplish more than curtailing the rates of increase gen erally proposed. In respect to the adulterations of beer and the bill against them, now pending in congress, the report says: "This is the proper time and opportunity to repeat that individually and as representatives of this association we condemn adulter ation and fully approve and support any law designed to suppress and punish it." PIIESBYTEBIAN ASSEMBLY. A Commission to Investigate the Pub lishing Board. Saratoga, N. V., May 21.—1n the Presbyterian general assembly today, a resolution urging congress to pass the bill now before it for investigating the effects of intoxicating liquors, was adopted. A resolution asking congress to pass an amendment to the interstate commerce law to enable the states to prohibit or restrict the liquor traffic, was referred to a committee. Rev. Dr. Burrill delivered a lengthy report on foreign missions. The total re ceipts of the board during the year were $794,0(>t> from churches, .$201,701 from sabbath schools, $30,002 from women's boards, $280,285 from legacies, and $73,120 from miscellaneous sources. There was a decrease of $58,740 com pared with last year, and there is at present a deficit of $00,275. An urgent appeal was made to the assembly to study the report and say why the great falling off in receipts occurred. The strong synods have not done as well in proportion as the weaker ones. Rev. Dr. Ellingood, secretary, advised a system of weekly subscriptions, and several other spirited addresses were made. The recommendations of the board were adopted. When consideration of the publication board matter came up, Dr. Agnew, of the board, said there had been consider able misapprehension on the part of the special committee. At the first meeting called, only three members of the publi cation' board could be present, and the special committee sat as an inquisition and refused to give data on which they based their charges. Simmons sent a circular all over the land asking ques tions the answers to which were to be considered confidential, as to the prevailing dissatisfaction with the board. "We assured Simmons that we did not propose to vote as a joint committee, and not to overrule his committee by our great number. The special committee has misunderstood us, and this has prevented confidence. In its report are many misrepresenta tions, doubtless unintentional. We never saw it until the meeting of the assembly." Regarding the statement of the special committee that a responsible firm had offered to do the work for a less price than the board does, Dr. Agnew said: "The board tried all that twelve years ago when they gave the work to the three lowest bidders. Since then fifteen responsible Philadelphia houses have bid for the work,and m each case higher than we are now paying." Dr. Agnew went on to defend the pub lication board at great length, and in a spirited manner he censured the special committee for making serious charges, implying carelessness or crookedness, without a careful investigation. He asserted that a proper investigation would show that the publication board was right. After considerable further discussion, in which Dr. Derrick Johnson, of Chi cago, and Dr. Howard Crosby took part, Graham's motion of yesterday for the appointment of a commission to investi gate the matter, was adopted. BAPTIST PUBLICATIONS. A Vast Amount of Literature Published During the Year. Chicago, May 21.—The annual meet ing of the American Baptist Publication Association began here this morning.

Total number of publications, 33,098,700, a gain of 2,273,850 over the preceding year.

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1890. PACIFIC COAST. Breaks in the San Joa^l 11 * 11 Levees. The Lowlands at Visalia Badly Flooded. Much Damage Done by the Over flow at Stockton. A Body Fished from the Bay at San Francisco—Thought to Be that of Ex-State Senator Kent. Associated Press Dispatches. 1 VIBALtA, Cal., May 21.—The break in the levee along the St. Joint's river yes terday, northeast of town, could not be repaired, and this morning water ap peared in the north part of town, and by 9 o'clock quite a river was flowing west ward in the lowest part of North Visalia. Latest reports say the river still remains high. The wagon road between here and Goshen is impassable. Considerable damage in the way of I ruining pasture and grain iields and hay, and scalding orchards and vine yards, has already been done by the overflow of waters. The Visalia and Tulare motor railroad has two washouts, caused by heavy currents in the large irrigation ditches. Stockton, May 21.—Four or five breaks occurred early this morning in the Union Island levees, flooding the new reclamation work. About 12,000 acres are flooded; one-half is in wheat, belong ing principally to renters from Williams and Bixler. The cross levees will probably hold the water off from the Kidd ranch. The breaks are in the levee which lias been watched so care fully for several weeks, at the expense of $10,000 to $12,000. FISHED FROM THE BAY. An Old Man's Body Found Afloat—Evi dences of Foul Play. San Francisco, May 21.—The body of an old man was recovered from the bay this morning. The skull had been crushed, apparently by a blunt instru ment, and the head bore a number of cuts. On the body was found a copy of an afternoon paper, of date Monday last, and an envelope addressed to C. M. Murray, Modesto. Efforts were made this evening to dis cover the identity of tho body, which gives every appearance of a brutal mur der having been committed. The clerk at the Brooklyn hotel identified the re mains as those of a man who had been stopping at the hotel a few days and who gave the name of J.H.Murray, San Rafael. Inquiry in San Rafael developed the fact that J. H. Murray owned a ranch at Tamalpais, and was worth considerable property. Inquiry was also made at Modesto, as an envelope was found in the pocket of the deceased addressed toC. M. Murray, of that place. A special dispatch to the Chronicle from Modesto this evening says that C. M. Murray, who is clerk at the Ross house, believes the murdered man is Charles Kent, ex-state senator from Nevada county. Kent was in Modesto last week, and on Saturday lie secured a loan from Murray, who gave him an envelope addressed to him self, as Kent desired to return the money when he reached San Francisco. THE OIL CAR CASE. It is Decided Against the Standard Oil Company. San Francisco, May 21.—The suit of the Standard Oil Company against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,and Whittier, Fuller & Co., was decided to day by Judge Hoffman in the United States court. He dissolved the tempo rary restraining order and denied the application for a permanent order re straining defendants from using a cer tain car for hauling oil, upon which car plaintiff claimed patent rights. The question involved the very existence of the oil trade in California, except that portion of it carried on by the Standard Oil Company. When an ordinary freight car is used in sending out a carload of oil from the east, the empty car must be hauled all the way back at a cost of $90, which kills the profit on the goods. The Standard Oil Company uses a car which can be used for carrying oil one way and freight on the return trip, so that the railroad charfies nothing for hauling it back. Whittier, Fuller & Co. adopted a car somewdiat similar to that used by the Standard Oil Company, and the latter sued for an injunction. AN AVALANCHE. Laborers Escape Death by a Miracle. Snow- Sheds Crushed. Sacramento, May 21.—This morning a large force of men who were at the long snow shed a mile and a half east of Emigrant Gap, removing snow and re pairing the shed, were overcome by an avalanche of snow, which crushed 150 feet of the heavily-timbered shed and carried the men down the hillside some distance. All, however, escaped serious injury, though several were badly cut and bruised. The men escaped death almost by a miracle. The track was blocked for five hours. Contractor Collins Safe. Kansas City, May 21.—A dispatch from Beatrice, Neb., says C. W. Collins, the railroad contractor, reported to have been killed in Nevada, is alive and well in Tacoma. Portland, May 21.—C. W. Collins, of Kilpatrick Bros. & Collins, the well known railroad contractors, who was re ported in the dispatches yesterday as having been shot in Utah, is in this city. He says he supposes the man shot must be some one else of the same name as himself, connected with the force em ployed on the work in Utah. Turned Back. San Francisco, May 21.—About 250 Chinese sailed for China today on the steamer China. Twenty-four Chinese w ho arrived from Panama on the steamer Acapulco were transferred today to the China steamer, without being allowed to land, and de parted for the flowory kingdom. WASHINGTON NOTES. The Revenue Cutter Bear Ordered to Sail for Alaska. Washington, May 21.—Secretary Win dom today signed orders for the revenue cutter Bear, directing that she im mediately sail to Ounalaska, and then cruise in the Bering sea to guard against the violation of the statutes on the seal ing matter.

It is understood that ac cording to the present instructions vessels caught violating the law, will be dismantled and deprived of a)! means of furtlier violation. Their logs and all their . u kins also will be seized. The secretary of the navy today ac cepted the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius.

The Miners Strike for the "Banking" Sys tem—Proprietor Dunsmuir Refuses to Treat with Non-Employees. Victoria, B. C, May 21.—1t has been understood for some time past that a demand would be made upon the own ers of the Wellington collieries for the installation 'of the "banking" system, and the recognition of the grievance committee. The first stipulation re quires that the time of going in and out of the mines shall be considered as part of the working hours. The day is di vided into three shifts of eight hours each, and if the time occupied in going to and from the levels was considered in the working time, it would mean seven hours actual work per shift. A com mittee waited on James Dunsmuir and Manager Bryden for the purpose of making the demands, but as none of the committee were employees, the owners refused to treat with them, but declared their willingness to treat with their own employees, and promised fair dealing at all times. Monday morning it had been de termined by the miners, association that the "banking" system should be enforced. Those miners who presented themselves at the pit mouths at the usual time,were sent down,but at 7 o'clock the bars were drawn and those who came afterwards understood that this meant no work for that day. With the exception of No. 6, all the miners returned to the surface, and no work has been carried on in the Wellington collieries since. James Dunsmuir stated that it was his intention to adhere to the stand that had been taken. He would refuse the demands, and if the miners persisted they were prepared to shut down the collieries for an indefinite period. He regretted exceedingly to do this, but they would manage their own property or refrain from developing it. It is understood that a number of agi tators who came from the great Roslyn trouble of last year have been working among the miners for some time past in an endeavor to bring on a strike if all their demands are not accepted. This tltey have accomplished, for at the pres ent time there is virtually a general strike at the Wellington collieries. A meeting between the miners and Messrs. Dunsmuir and Manager Brydon has been arranged for Monday next. Not Afraid or the Filibusters. San Francisco, May 21.—A. H. Coney, Mexican consul-general in this city, says on the subject of the Lower California filibusters: "There in no fear of the filibusters attaining their object, either by peaceful or warlike means. Ido not believe that the cordial feelings existing between the United States and Mexico, promoted largely through the efforts and by the wisdom of President Diaz, can in any way be interfered with through the efforts of half a dozen adventurers whose sole object is to make money while their dupes suffer. More Chinese Arrests. San Francisco, May 21. — Eighteen Chinese were arrested yesterday for violating the removal of Chinatown. When their cases were called in court this morning, defendants surrendered themselves into custody and had their trials postponed until next Friday. In the meantime the attorney who repre sents them will swear out writs of habeas corpus in the United States court to effect their release. Walters Victorious. Chicago, May 21.—The hotel waiters gained another victory tonight, the Tremont and other prominent hotels acceding to their demands. A dispatch from St. Louis says the waiters there will strike tomorrow, with the exception of the Lindell hotel, which has signed the scale. Guarding Against Smallpox. Sacramento, May 21. —The state board of health has appointed three inspectors to go to Deming and El Paso and guard against smallpox patients being brought across the border. The board has been authorized to spend not exceeding one thousand dollars. Liquor and Jealousy.

Liquor and jealousy were the causes. EYRADD CAPTURED. The French Murderer Once More Taken. The Havana Police Are Sure They Have Him. His identity Well Established—He Attempts Suicide in Jail.

DIED OF GKIEF. •fudge Masterson'H Queer Conduct Causes His Wife-'s Death. New York, May 21.—Mrs. Florence R. Masterson, wife of ex-Judge Murat Masterson, of Prescott, Arizona, the man whose shooting affair in Mrs. Hop kinson's flat recently brought him into notoriety, died suddenly today, at the Grand Union hotel, this city. When Mrs. Masterson heard of the shooting alfair, she started east from Deming, New Mexico, her home, to have an un derstanding with her husband. On her arrival she wrote Masterson requesting an interview . Dr. Adams, of 131 East Thirtieth street, is a nephew of Mrs. Masterson. Upon her arrival she paid a visit to Dr. Adams, anil had been in consultation with him in reference to her husband. Monday morning Mrs. Masterson sent again to her husband's office in Wall street, begging him to come and see her. He did not put in an appearance. About 6 o'clock this evening Mrs. Mas terson went to her nephew's house and told Dr. Adams that her husband had not come, and that she was very much grieved at his non-action in the matter, and gave way to her feelings. Dr. Adams did all he could to console her. About 7 :30 o'clock Mrs. Masterson ex pressed a desire to go back to the hotel. Dr. Adams accompanied her. They rode up on the elevator to the second story, where Mrs. Masterson's room was lo cated. Dr. Adams stepped out first and assisted his aunt out. Just as she stepped into the hallway she gave a shriek and fell into the arms of her nephew. One glance was sufficient to tell Dr. Adams that she was dead. Dr. Adams started out to find ex- Judge Masterson, and informed him of his wife's death. Masterson was much affected by tire news, and went at once to the Grand Union hotel. At the hotel, it is said, Dr. Adams left word that the cause of Mrs. Masterson's death was heart disease. Dr. Adams could not be found. Masterson is worth, he says, $2,000,000, and owns mines in New Mexico and Chihuahua. He is 47 years old and gray-haired. Mrs. Mas terson was 38 years old. Mrs. Alice L. Hopkinson, with whom Masterson had trouble, is a well-known frequenter at the race-tracks. Tonight when a reporter went to Mrs. Hopkin son's flat he was refused admission. Mrs. Hopkinson was seen inside in full evening costume, and her was room brilliantly lighted. Just Wanted to See the Mayor. George W. Beck, the funny mayor of Milwaukee, is at the Grand Pacific get ting a little rest, lie says there is not much fun in politics after all. "Why, you can't believe how popular I am," he told a friend last evening. '"The day after I was elected everybody in Milwaukee was on my staff. People that would not speak to me before came around and invited me home to din ner. I've had some queer experiences, too. Applicants for all sorts of city posi tions won't take a negative answer. "When I say 'No,' they reply, 'O that's one of your jokes. I read your comical stories in the paper, Mr. Peck, and I know you're only fooling now.'

Crooked Way in Which the Defunct Bank of America Wag Conducted. Philadelphia, May 21.—A meeting of the committee of creditors of the defunct Bank of America today examined a number of officers of that institution, and secured some startling information. They learned that about $350,000 was credited to three different men on the books of the bank, who had no money there. The money had been paid out to them and for the American Financial Association and American Life Insurance Company, by order of President l'hieffer, of the bank. The subordinates examined knew nothing about the reasons there for, except that they had their orders from the president as to paying checks and fixing accounts. .Secretary Work, of the American Financial Institution, was unable to explain where all the money had gone to, but managed to tell the committee that nearly all the se curities held by the institution now had been mortgaged, and the amount on which money can be realized is not very large.
