ANOTHER STEP TOWARD HIGHER FREIGHTS
The Panama Line to Aban
don All Northern
Business.
PLAYING FOR A TRUCE.
Its Object Believed to Be to
Appease Two Powerful
Recalcitrants.
THE DISTURBING ELEMENTS.
For Three Years They Have Been the
Great Northern and Canadian
Pacific.
As a direct result of the recent contract
entered into by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and the Panama Railroad Com
pany, the latter has been compelled, by
reason of the newly created conditions re
sulting from this agreement, to withdraw
from the carrying trade to and from points
on this side of the continent north of San
Francisco, though their withdrawal will
not be felt by the points most interested
until the 30th inst.
Formal notice, however, it is learned
from a firm interested in shipments to the
north, has been given to all shippers and
consignees interested that on and after the
date mentioned all rates are canceled via
the Panama Railroad and its connections,
the Panama Steamship line and the Co
lumbian line, from New York to Portland
and Astoria, Or., Vancouver and Victoria,
B. C, Port Townsend, Seattle, Tacoraa,
Everett, Anacortes and New "Whatcom,
"Wash.
Previous to the new arrangements these
points were reached by the tranship-,
nient of freight at this port to the steamers
of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
or those of the Oregon Railway and Navi
gation Company.
The reason assigned for the abandon
ment of this territory by the Manama
people is that under the new arrangement
the freight is carried from Panama to this
port on the steamers of the Pacitic Mail
Steamship Company, which is not in a
position to accommodate business for
North Pacific points.
The natural result of this move will be
to leave the field for through business
from New York to Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia to the Canadian Pa
cific, the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific and other transcontinental lines
and those forming a link in a transconti
nental system.
A peculiar significance attaches to this
procedure id view of the strained relations
that have existed between the Canadian
Pacific and the Great Northern roads on
one side and the other transcontinental
roads on the other, ever since the disrup
tion of the Transcontinental Association
in 189:2. These two northern roads have
always claimed that owing to the disad
vantages they were under in reaching San
Francisco they were entitled to certain def
erentials, but these claims have hereto
fore not been allowed.
As a consequence, for the past three
years the principal transcontinental lines
of the United States have been subjected
to the keenest competition, not only from
the Panama people via the Panama route,
but from these two great railroads on the
north.
Every attempt heretofore to patch up a
truce with the railroads on the north
proved futile, due largely to the unsatis
factory conditions that were created by
the Panama competitor. "With the Pan
ama people no longer an element of dis
turbance, the problem has been simplified,
and it is believed that the withdrawal of
the Panama line frem the North Pacific
field is the next step toward bringing the
two recalcitrant lines into more amicable
relations with the other great transconti
nental transportation companies.
It is known that negotiations to this
end have been on foot for some time and
that they are now being pressed with
greater vigor than ever with indications of
ultimate success.
It has been stated that the Panama-Pa
cific Mail entente cordial would result in
an advance of rates by the new combina
tion and also by the Southern Pacific
Company and other lines interested in
through freight business. But it will be
found impracticable for this to come about
until the extreme northern competing and
belligerent lines are placated. Any reduc
tions made under the present conditions
would simply force business to the two
northern roads and tend to make the
schedules of their competitors largely orna
mental.
Until, therefore, news is received of the
formation of another transcontinental as
sociation, including the Great Northern
and the Canadian Pacific in its member
ship, it - is not probable that there will be
any advance in overland freights.
Now that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company has withdrawn its steamers
from the New York-Colon route, the three
vessels of the Columbian line are hardly
able to handle all the business being of
fered at New York for through and inter
mediate points, and it is reported that
within sixty days it will put on an addi
tional steamer. It is also on the cards j
that the Pacific Mail will augment its
Panama-San Francisco fleet with the City
of Para or the Columbia, or perhaps both, j
LABOR IN THE PARK.
The Kight-Honr Law Said to Be Vio
laKd in the People's Pleasnre-
Ground — Carpenters Debate.
The annual meeting of the Carpenters
and Joiners' Union No. 22 was held last
evening at Odd Fellows' Hall, but reports
for the past year were reserved until the
union convenes again. The union was or
ganized June 28, 1882, and with periods of
reverses and successes has continued in
existence until at last nitrht's meeting its
membership \v;is TOO out of a total of 1500
union carpenters in San Francisco.
It was reported that the eight-hour law
had betn violate! in Golden Gate Park.
The union sought to secure employment
for one of its members in the park on
buildings in course of construction near
the new music concourse and accidentally
learned that mechanics and laborers in
the people's pleasure-ground were work
jug nine honrs a day in violation of the
State law. The Labor Commissioner was
notified yesterday and lie promised to in
vestixfet* the complaint.
A debate was commenced last night be
fore the large number of union carpenters
who attended the meeting. C. F. Stradd,
I. resident of the District Council and a
member o/ union 483, took the negative,
while C. L. Malsbnry of union 22 argued in
the affirmative, the subject of disdission
being "Whether Labor Unions as Now
Conducted Are a Success." This was the
first of a series of debates intended to
make the meetings attractive to members,
and instructive as well, and the outcome,
it is expected, may be a cleaner knowledge
of how to treat the labor problem.
NO REVOLUTION.
Consul Calderon Receives a Cable From
President (iutierrez Denying Such
a Statement.
The Examiner on Thursday printed a
dispatch with the date line, "Salvador,
December 25," in which an account was
given of an alleged bloody uprising of
Salvadoran troops against the Govern
ment. According to the story the garri
son at "Sonsonate" revolted because of
the treatment of Colonel Rivera, and
while drilling broke into a mutiny, and
with cries of "Viva la revolution" and
"Viva la libertad," overpowered their offi
cers, stood them up in a line and shot
twenty-five of them, including Colonel
Rivera.
Dr. Eustorjio Calderon of 526 Sutter
street, the resident Consul of Salvador,
was rendered quite anxious by the story
and at once sent the following cablegram
to President Gutierrez:
Ha habido pronunciamiento en Sonsonate?
Prensa de aqui publica eso. E. Calderos.
Translated freely this reads: "Has
there been a revolution in Sonsonate? The
press of this City print that there has. E.
Calderon."
Late yesterday afternoon the following
reply was received :
San Salvador, Dec. 27, 1895.
Prieto Alvarez, San Francisco: Todo tranquilo.
(All quiet). R. A. Gutierrez.
MILLIONAIRE HITCHCOCK.
I One of the Noted California Pio
neers Near Death in
This City.
. He Invested His Profits in Many Great
Ranches, and in Bank and
Railroad Stocks.
Hollis Hitchcock one of the best-known
and wealthiest pioneers of California, is
I lying near death at Dr. L. C. Lane's hos
! pital, corner of Clay and Webster streets,
j in this City.
It was thought last night that he would
i not live till morning.
Mr. Hitchcock's disease is kidney trouble
| combined with muscular rheumatism.
He is now 75 years old. His nephew, Ben.
i F. Hitchcock of Salinas, who is at the
I Russ House, has been carefully tending
! the old gentleman during the past few
1 days.
Hitchcock the elder came to California
' from Eastern Canada in 1852. He soon
j became a successful man of affairs. He
| began buying and driving beef cattle to
various gold camps. There was a big de
; mand for beef at high prices in those days,
and Mr. Hitchcock made a great deal of
I money.
As fast as the money was made he in
: vested in other things, but principally in
1 land. He had a. penchant for buying fine
i farms, and some of the best in the State
are now his proj>erty.
He owns some of the most valuable prop
erty in Monterey County. He also became
possessor of the old Sam Potter ranch, and
also of the Watson ranch, in Sonoma
County.
Besides these he purchased large areas
:of land in Solano and other counties. He
! owns also at the present time 3000 acres on
! Grizzly Island, in the Sacramento River.
I He aiso is the possessor of land elsewhere.
But these are only a few of the frugal old
i pioneer's possessions. He owns stock in
j no less than five banks, and is said to have
• $100,000 worth of stock in the San Francisco
I and North Pacific Railroad.
He kept up his cattle-buying for many
years, while investing in various enter
i prises. He also entered extensively into
j the business of raising cattle. He owned
I three or four cattle ranches in Sonoma,
i others in Sacramento, and yet others else
! where in California.
Years ago he bought lands in Fresno.
In general he has bought land and has had
advantage of a heavy increase in values.
Even at the present low prices of real
estate Mr. Hitchcock is believed to be
j easily worth $1,000,000. He has property
| scattered everywhere and those who know
| him best do not know all he has.
Mr. Hitchcock never married. For some
years he has resided at Healdsburg, but he
lived periodically for a short time at or
near his ranches in the several counties.
In this City he has for many years lived at .
the Russ House.
He is widely known, especially among
the old Californians.
JOE JOHNSON IS CAUGHT.
Sent Lottery Tickets Through
the Mails to a Postal
Inspector.
If He Says the Tickets Were Coun
terfeits Another Charge Will
Confront Him.
Joe Johnson is again in the toils. Some
time ago he tbb arrested by the police for
counterfeiting lottery tickets and selling
his "goods." He then gave the name of
Thomas Upson, and was arrested and sen
tenced to six months' imprisonment and
to pay a fine of several hundred dollars.
He took an appeal, and while enjoying his
liberty on $2000 bail was up to his old
hau.nts and tricks.
Last night Johnson was arrested by
Postal Inspector Erwin and Deputy
United States Marshal Moncton for un
lawfully using the mails in his questiona
ble lottery business. They had learned
that he was to be at the Orpheum to keep
an appointment he had made with a
woman with whom he was living at 127
Fourth street. Ju.«t as the programme was
about to begin Johnson put in an appear
ance. He was lodged in the Broadway
jail in default of the $150*3 bail which had
already been fixed by United States Com
missioner Heacock.
It was in October last that Mr. Erwin
first began to decoy Johnson into such acts
as would show that he did not scruple at
using the mails in violation of the postal
laws. On October 20 Mr. Erwin wrote a
letter to Johnson asking him what figures
he would sell Honduras lottery tickets for.
Mr. Erwin pretended to be one "I.
Schwartz," a cigar-dealer of "Reno, Ne
vada," and used for his letterhead a rubber
stamp purporting to be the business
imprint of Mr. Schwartz.
Evidently Johnson, whose place of busi
ness was then ai4l2Kearny street, thought
he bad a good customer and that
"Schwartz" would prove a profitable
retailer oi his lottery tickets. He replied
he could let his correspondent have Hon
duras tickets at 70 cents on the dollar,
which is said to be '.wice the discount the
regular dealers themselves enjoy. Mr.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1895.
Erwin sent $7 and secured by the return
mail ten bright green tickets, which he
still has in his possession.
The detective of the mails let matters
rest for a while, but in December he struck
up another correspondence with Johnson,
still as "I. Schwartz of Reno," and sent $7
more, by money order, with an inquiry as
to what Little Louisiana lottery-tickets
could be obtained for. Johnson answered
that he could sell Little Louisiana for 65
cents on the dollar, and suggested that if
"Schwartz" would send $10 more he would
mail to him either forty-four Little Louisi
ana tickets and ten Honduras, or eighty
eight Little Louisiana, whichever
"Schwartz" might prefer, but he did not
send any tickets for the second $7 he had
received from Mr. Erwin. His reason for
not inclosing any tickets was that Mr.
Erwin 's second ietter was not received
until December 12 and the drawing would
occur just about the time tire tickets would
be taken from the Nevada postoffice by
•'Schwartz.'
Again Mr. Erwin communicated as the
impersonation of the fictitious "Schwartz,"
and this time under date of December 18.
He inquired why Johnson had not sent
the Honduras tickets already paid for.
Johnson wrote a third letter, in which he
naively hinted that if Schwartz would
.send $05 additional he could get 100 Hon
duras tickets for the money.
This was enough for Mr. Erwin. The
officer saw that all he had to do was to
arrest the man, as he had him foul in two
ways.
If Johnson sets up the pleathatthe tick
ets he sent were counterfeits Mr. Erwin
will prosecute him under the same law for
using the mails for fraudulent purposes.
On the other hand if the tickets are
genuine Johnson's offense was in sending
them through the mails. He has John
son's signatures on the receipt cards for
two registered letters ana also his signa
ture on a money order which Mr. Erwin
had procured from the Reno postoffice to
make his decoy all the more successful.
CONVENTION OF TRADES.
The Labor Unions of the City to Meet
in February.
The Trades Council met last night at
1159 Mission street.
The various trades unions represented
reported that they found business quite
satisfactory, and the union members were
pretty nearly all employed. It was a sat
isfactory resume of the situation in several
labor circles that those delegates made.
An invitation presented by a committee,
asking that representatives of labor attend
a convention of trades and labor organiza
tions at 1159 Mission street February 14, at
7:30 p. m., was discussed and accepted by
the council.
The object is to have a full and free dis
cussion of all matters pertaining to the
labor movement on that occasion. Repre
sentation will be based upon one delegate
for each charter and one for the first 100
members or majority fraption thereof.
This convention had come to be regarded
as a matter of necessity, because, as the
committee represented in its report, there
had been a "regrettable lack of public in
terest by the organized workers of Han
Francisco in matters pertaining to the
labor and reform movement." The con
vention will be held, however, and an
effort made to arouse enthusiasm in the
cause of labor in San Francisco.
FDR DEMPSEY'S WIDOW
I Proceeds of Her Benefit Will
Amount to Nearly
$2600.
The "Nonpareil's Friends Turned Out
Last Night to Swell the Fund
for His Family.
The widow of Jack Dempsey, the Nonpa
riel prize-fighter of the world, will receive
something in the neighborhood of $2600
from the benefit tendered her by the
friends of her late husband. The People's
Palace, where the entertainment was held
last night, was packed to the doors, and all
the seats were sold on a cash basis.
Promptly at 8:,3 0, after some selections
by the Letter-carriers' band, the entertain
ment began and was followed by the glove
contests. Such well-known fighters as
Charles Turner of Stockton, J. Choynski,
Henry Peppers, Spider Kelly, Billy Smith,
Tom Sharkey, Young Mitchell, Gus Her
got, J. Maroney, Frank La Fell, Billy
Cook, Dal Hawkins, George Green, James
O'Neill. Joe" King, Alexander Greggins
and Deacon Jones came before the aud
ience and exhibited their prowess with
the cloves.
An especially interesting feature was the
six-round contest for points between J.
Lawler of Oakland and J. Reilly of San.
Francisco, both in the feather-weight
class. Young Mitchell presided as referee,
and after the first five rounds, which, he
?aid, were equal, finally bestowed the
prize upon Lawler.
Billy Armstrong and Jimraie Whelan,
in another six-round go, finished the
evening and made it very lively for those
who take an interest in such things. It
was a hard rattle, for boxing men love
fighting, and some violent jolts were re
ceived by both men.
Altogether the whole affair was one of
the best conducted entertainments ever
arranged lor a $an Francisco audience. It
was particularly orderly, and Cliff
Phillips, who donated bis theater for the
occasion, saw to it that his employes kept
perfect order and everybody who was
entitled to a seat got one.
The gentlemen who had charge of the
preliminary and concluding arrangements
were all personal friends of the deceased,
and, like all Westerners, are true to him
still. The committees were made up of
the following gentlemen:
Colonel L. G. Flanagan, chairman; John L.
Mitchell, vice-chairman; J. J. Jamison, secre
tary; G. K. Liddle, assistant secretary; James
Gllieran, treasurer.

J. L. Mitchell. George Green, D. Xeedham, J. J.
Gottlob; John Morrisey, stage manager; Pro
fessor Billy Jordan, master of ceremonies.
Mrs. Dempsey will receive the receipts
of the benefit to-day, on which occasion
she will be made aware that Jack's widow
and two children are not forgotten by the
devotees of the art her late husband was
such a thorough master of.
ABUSED HIS FAMILY.
Charles Templlne Drives Hfs Wife and
Children From Home.
Mrs. Charles Templine, 2306 Post street,
has procured a warrant for the arrest of
her husband on a charge of making threats
against her life.
"For over two years," she said yes
terday, "I have slaved for that man and to
pet food and clothing for my three little
children. He is a drinking man and
during our married life has continually
abused me. Christmas day he came home
intoxicated and made an attempt to beat
me. He then demolished the furniture
and ended up with driving me and two of
the children from home. The baby be still
has and lam not allowed to see it. I have
borne his ill treatment us long as I could."

change, find that the lot of the racetrack
devotee is indeed a hard one on any
course. The track was still very heavy,
the sun's rays having had but slight effect
on the clayey mud. Next the rail there
was a beaten path, and the horse that
gained this pathway in most instances
won the purse. Earl Cochran on the 25
to 1 shot Hy Dy tried it and won handily,
and Roma, the rank 30 to 1 outsider in the
handicap, traveled over it and beat the
3 to 5 favorite Semper Lex in a gallop.
Of the six first choices intrusted with
the bulk of the coin, Theresia and imp.
Star Ruby were the only ones that were
returned winner*.
The opening five-furlong dash for two
year-olds resulted disastrously for backers
of tne favorite. Walter J was sent out a
2to 1 choice, and failed to even show.
The 8 to 1 chance. Una Que Arno, led all
the way and won easily from Leon L, with
Pearson in the show.
Barney Schreiber's filly, Tneresia, was
made a '2 to 1 choice for the next event, a
seven-furlong run, with light welter
weights up. and favored by a fortunate
circumstance managed to "win. George
Mille look the leaa soon after the flae fell
and into the stretch looked a winner, but
E. Slaughter turned wide, and his younger
brother, on the favorite, slipping through
close to the rail, gradually wore down his
lead and won by a lengtn. Lucky Dog
finished a poor third.
The third race, over a mile, with ten
starters, resulted in a big surprise. Monita
and Mary S carried nearly all of the coin,
the former ruling a slight choice over the
mare. When the flap sent them away
Mary S and old Hy'Dy opened up a big
gap over the field and had the race to
themselves. Cochran, on the outsider,
had the inside, and, outfooting the second
choice all the way, won easily r*y three
parts of a length." The favorite, Monita,
was a poor third.
For the short six-furlong dash imp. Star
Ruby was an octds on choice, going to the
post 7 to 10. Alvarado was a slight fa
! vonte over Vinctor for second choice hon
ors. Long odds were laid against the
other five starters. Alvarado went out
with a fine burst of speed, showing the
j way to the stretch, where he began to tire.
McLight now had the lead, but the favor
ite managed to get through next the rail
and passed the wire eased up, a length in
front of Vinctor, who beat McLight a
length for the place.
The biggest "dump of the day occurred
in the mile handicap. Opening at even
money Semper Lex was backed down to
3 too, the wise ones looking upon the chest
nut horse as a "moral." Strathmeath was
a sort of sluggish second choice. There
was nothing to the race from the jump but
Roma. Bob Isoni took the 30 to 1 chance
out in front and running under restraint
the entire distance won as he liked from
the first choice. Strathmeath was an in
different third.
There was more trouble in store for the
last event of the day, a five-furlong spin
for two-year-olds. Salisbury II was well
played at 4 to 5, but Fireman, a 4 to 1
chance, secured the path and beat the
favorite out six lengths.
Track and Paddock Items.
By Holly was one of the shrewd players
that thought Semper Lex had struck easy
game.
Tod Sloan, who rode Una Que Amo in
the opening race, spoiled one pretty start.
Starter Ferguson taxed him $.50 for it.
It looks very much as though the J
affixed to the name of the unfortunate colt
Walter J, stood for Jonah. His owners
thought him a "lead pipe" yesterday, and
he finished in the ruck.
Wildidle, the noted race horse and sire,
died at Naylee Burkes place at San Jose
on Thursday night of rheumatism. He
was a handsome bay horse, standing six
teen hands high, with white star in fore-
Head and one white nind foot.
His sire was imp. Australian" and his
dam tae great race mare Idlewild, by Lex
ington, once queen of the American turf.
Foaled in 1870 at the breeding establish
ment of R. A. Alexander, near Lexington,
Ky., the great horse was consequently 25
years old at the time of his death. During
his career on the turf he won at all dis
tances from one mile up to four miles, de
feating the best horses of the East and
West, and in 1H75 at the Bay District
track added the Wise plate to his credit,
running four miles in 7 :25V0. In the stud
he was a great success.. Among the most
noted of his get were FJariibeau, Jim
Douglas, Sinfax, Flirtation, Nomad, Wild
wood, May D, Ella Doane, Neilsen and
Alfaretta. He was purchased some months
ago by Mr. Burke, who is well known as

MANHOOD?
Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt
"MAKES PEOPLE STRONG"
A strong man who is vigorous in muscular power is the envy
of his fellow-man. He is looked upon as one of nature's noble-
men. And yet how many men there are who would gladly sacri-
fice that muscular strength for the recovery of ■••a still more
precious element that has been lost. Men are not always what
they seem. Almost daily we come in conversation with men .
who seem strong, vigorous, butwho have begun to fail in the
force of manhood, and who would, in a few years, on account of
this treacherous, secret waste, fall victims to that most hateful
disease — Debility. This is the enemy which in time
destroys even the muscular power and all power of mankind.
Would you protect yourself against any possibility of this ;
calamity. Ignorance of the symptoms is. one excuse for permit- ■
ting the weakness to grow on you. If you would study this sub-,
ject for your own good send for the little book, "Three Classes of
Men," which will be mailed free,- closely sealed. It is plain and
honest, and its contents are instructive.
"Your Belt has proven a wonderful remedy for toning up the vital organs in my case," "
writes W. D. Allen, Vallecito, Cal. . •-■-.-■
"I was prostrated with paralysis when I got your Belt. lam already able to walk without ,
crutches." J. M. Ilamer, Vinson, Or. x
"I ieel like a new man since wearing the belt and can give it a strong recommendation."
Herbert F. Bishop, Hanford, Cal. "..-■■■
. "I owe my present existence to your wonderful invention," writes J. W. Nunes, Nlles, Ala-
meaa County, Cal. , • .
.. "I have trica many remedies, but your belt is the greatest gift to humanity ever invented." .
Charles Smith, Tualatin, Or. • • .: •
"Your Belt was worth its weight in gold to me."— Robert Kittles, East Sound, San Juan
County, Wash. '„ r.... A.. .
"Your belt has cured me of sciatica."— Asa A. Moore. Milton, Or. ■■ '■
"I have energy and vigor again and can enjoy life as well as anybody."— Charles. B. Kuch-
ler, 33 North Sutter street, Stockton, Cal. •
"Your belt has proven to be above all other remedies for lost manhood. I would not sell it
for twice what 1 gave for it. I have .gained ten pounds in flesh."— J. F. Luman, Quincy, Cal.
Think of the happiness, the .
sj^ti/i^^p-^Mldr* deep, heart-whole content that
//^^^^S^f^^Sfjfk y° u say to yourself, "I am
j^^^K^i^^'^^^w^^^^^B strong and manly ; I have pre-
-I^^^.^ &\u/J- *^f^g served the gift of manhood that
Kff^^^si^^^^r^^ nature gave me." Yes, you
~&TQ *^ f^jjjP^ who can say that, and say it
"Ss^6s^^ i^ honestly, think of how much
. you owe to nature, the giver of
manhood. Yet not many can say it. There are too many pit-
falls, too many temptations in the. path of young men, and too
many of them fall.
It is to Gorreet the error of youthful folly, and to point out »
the happy recovery of manly vigor by his ' wonderful Electric
Belt, that Dr. Sanden has given to the world his famous book,
"Three Classes of Men." He will send a pocket edition, ■ free,

As a tinale to the day's sport, the one
act melodrama of "The Rivals" was en
acted in the betting- ring, with Plunger
Charley Quinn and footracer Jim Ryan as
suming the two leading character parts,
ably assistad by Jim Quinn, who was seen
to advantage as the heavy man. The usual
corps of auxiliaries were seen in the cast,
comprising bookmakers, touts, citizens,
hot sausage vendors and guardians of the
peace. After a somewhat heated argu
ment between the two first-named actors,
everything was to all appearances amicably
arranged, when, with a blood-curdling yell,
the heavy man leaped from the third story
of a bookmaker's stand and with upraised
pistol attempted the time-worn chestnut of
breaking a walnut on the head of actor
Ryan. At this Mr. Ryan became enraged
and was about to turn and disfigure the
countenance of the gentlemen from the
blue-grass region, when bystanders closed
in, and some one yelling "cop," the cur
tain was rung down on the act. Both gen
tlemen were seen at their hotels last even
ing, and the play has likely seen its last
production.
