THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY. AUGUST 5, 1899.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
SHOWS ITS GREED
Seeking- to Monopolize
San Pedro.
Special Dispatch to The- Call.
I. OS ANGELES, Aug. 4.— The citizens of
San Pedro are opposed to granting to the
Southern Pacific any further rights. Par
ticularly does this apply to ferry conces
{ slons. This opposition Is the outgrowth
j of proceedings on the part of the Southern j
I Pacific by which the road obtained posses- |
I sion of lands belonging to the Terminal j
! Island Yacht Club.
At a mass-meeting resolutions condemn
: ing the course of the railroad were adopt
i cd. The resolutions declare the Terminal
j line has been a champion of the people
] in their fight for a free harbor, and that j
j the Southern Pacific Company, their re
j lentless opponent, is Inspired by a selfish
I desire to monopolize the harbor which the i
! Government proposes to construct for the
I benefit of Los Angeles County and South- ;
i crn California.
The resolutions declare that it appears |
' that John A. Muir. superintendent of the s
i Southern Pacific Company, is applying for
: a ferry franchise on San Pedro bay,
■ which is intended not for the benefit of
j the public but entirely to enable the j
I Southern Pacific to injure the Terminal <
! Company. Continuing, the resolutions
\ read:
People nf San Pedro with the p*"'! l of Los
! Angeles realize that In this effort to secure
'. the proposed ferry the Southern Pacific is at
: tempting to use the Board of Supervisors ns an ■
j Instrument: therefore the people of San Pedro I
deprecate and denounce this selfish effort of |
' the Southern Pacific Company, which attempted ;
j to prevent the Government building San Pedro ;
! harboi. We lo most earnestly protest to the
| Board of Supervisors against permitting them
i selves to be UMd, as public officials of the
i county of Lcs Angeles, for the purpose of ac- |
| complishlng the Southern Paciflc'B selfish and
| sinister designs.

feat Mr. Bryan for the nomination but
that he would be the choice of the Demo

litical talk at present, but he found P.ryan
had quite as large a following now as he
had in ISW>. He thinks the issues will be
practically the same as during the lust
campaign, with the exception of the anti
expanslon agitation. Mr. Teller is of the
opinion that Bryan will be elected in 1900.

FORTY BIG SEA LIONS
LASSOED BY VAQUEROS
Captain Mullett and His Men Catch a
Herd for European Museums.
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 4.— Captain J. R. Mullett arrived yesterday
from Santa Cruz Island with forty live sea lions. This is the biggest sin
gle catch ever made at the Santa Barbara Islands. These lions will be
shipped to-morrow to New York, from which point they will be sent to
Antwerp, Belgium, where at the world-famed Zoo Gardens they will re
ceive the training to fit them for public appearance at parks and exposi
tions. Captain Mullett sends them abroad under contract whereby he re
ceives $150 each for them.
The lions are lassoed on the rocks with an ordinary rope, and with
much difficulty are landed and crated ready for shipment. The men hired
to catch the seals are expert vaqueros.
BREWERY LANDED
IN DAWSON CITY
Owner May Have Toiled
in Vain.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
TACOMA, Aug. 4.— J. H. Johnson, a
well-known shipping man and an erst
while brewer, is just out from Dawson,
where he is endeavoring to establish a
I steam lager brewery. He has landed ma
! chinery there after a lot of hard work
! and dilly-dallying with the Canadian offi
: cials. He was stopped by the police sev
eral times going in. and does not yet know
whether he will be allowed to brew any
beer, although he is ready to turn out
50,000 bottles.
Johnson went in with his machinery last
April and got it as far as Bennett before
i the Issuance of the late prohibition
i against the importation of malt or spirit
! uous liquors at Dawson. He was stopped
time and again and notified that the ma
chinery could not go in. Johnson as re
peatedly urged that the laws to prohibit
importation do not affect goods on the
ground; and as his machinery and mate
j rial? to manufacture 50,000 bottles were
i within the territory when thtt order was
Issued it did not affect his outfit, as he
: only wanted to move it from one place in
i the Northwest Territory to another place
i in the same jurisdiction.
He gained his point to the extent
that he not the machinery, materials
and a brewery into Dawson. He ex
pects to have the brewery ready for
operation in three weeks, but whether
the authorities will allow him to start
the plant is as yet undetermined.
Though b«>er is now down to 50 Cents a
j bottle Johnson will make a tidy fortune
if he is permitted to quench the thii.-t of
I Klondike miners with his home-made
■ product.
HAWAII NEEDS
A GOVERNMENT
Liliuokalani Deplores
Present Conditions.
I S;.or!al Disp&tefa to The Call.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.— The Post
to-morrow will print an interview with
Liliuokalani, ex-Queen of the Hawaiian
Islands, who is icsiding here. The
former (Jueen receives many letters
' from home and says what the people
i need there is some head to the Govern
ment. She adds:
"Reports to the contrary notwith
standing, the islands are in a state of
practical anarchy. We— l say we, be
cause I count myself one of my peo
ple — have no laws but those which ob
tained for many years and a few which
I have been foisted upon us by the Ha
waiian republic.
"There is no such thins as real jus
tice. The native has not the same
standing when he goes to law with the
white man and even some of the for
i eigners find that they cannot obtain
i their dues. Laws are administered in
! a careless fashion. The Government is
an oligarchy instead of a republic. Ca
price dictates the administration of
affairs. I speak with no bitterness
i whatever. I am merely endeavoring to
I give a correct picture of the conditions.
The inhabitants of the islands know
i nothing whatever of their fate, or what
1 sort of government will be placed over
them."
Liliuokalani expresses every confi
\ dence in the honorable intentions of
! America and hopes when a decision is
' made as to a form of government for
, the islands that the officials will be ap-
I pointed from this country.

HANNA LOOKS FOR
GOLD LEGISLATION
The Silver Majority in the Senate, He
Says, Has Delayed the
Work.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4.— 11. H. Hanna,
chairman of the executive committee of
the monetary convention, has returned
from a sojourn in the East, a part of
which was spent in consultation with
members of the Senate Finance Commit
tee at Narragansett Pier. Mr. Hanna ix
pressed himself as entirely satisfied with
the prospects for financial legislation at
the next session.
"The bill agreed upon, said he, hy the
caucus committee of the House at Atlan
tic City is wisely conservative and I am
sufficiently familiar with the general prin
ciples upon which the Senate committee
Is working to express great satisfaction
over the outlook for very important gold
standard legislation during the next ses
sion of Congress. I have excellent ground
to believe that the majority in both
houses will agree in shaping and enacting
a law consistent in a broad and cour
ageous way with the pledge offered to ihe
people in the money plank in the St. Louis
platform. Those who advocated and
worked for sound money then have neen
compelled by the existing conditions in
Congress with the silver majority in the
Senate to wait long for the fruition of
their labors, but I am sure they will be
greatly pleased with what we all believe
to be the first and most important step
In the revision of our money laws.
"Those who believe in the good faith of
the St. Louis declaration will not be dis
appointed. I am confident that we shall
have a law establishing the gold stand
ard with such Hiipplementary legislation
as is necessary to maintain the parity of
all our forms of money."

Statement of Americans
in Cuba.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
HAVANA, Aug. 4. — Considerable com
ment was caused here this afternoon by
the publication of a dispatch from the
United States embodying the charge made
by a New York newspaper that Governor
General Brooke, Brigadier General Lud
low, military governor of Havana; Col
lector Tasker Bliss and Major Davis, san
itary officer at Havana, have been receiv
ing extra allowances out of the Cuban
revenues to maintain themselves in lux
ury. The fee-ling among Americans in
Havana is that this charge is based upon
a serious misapprehension of the facts of
the case.
The suggestion of luxurious living per
plexed the Cubans, who are in a position
to contrast tht- democratic way in which
the men nolding the high ranks of Gen
erals Brooke and Ludlow conduct their
establishments with the prodigal habits
of the old Spanish regime.
As to the charge that General Brooke
has expended money in repairing the
palace, the Americans reply that this oid
and historic structure had either to be
repaired and remodeled or to be palled
down and consequently about JIiiO.OOO has j
been expended on it. But, it is pointed j
out, Instead of being us heretofore the pri
vate residence of the Governor General,
the palace is now a veritable network of i
public offices, including one large wing |
devoted to the Mayor and municipal of
ficials. General Brooke's private offices
are unequal to what would be allowed |
him at any station in tin- United States, j
Aside from the general reception room, j
his apartments art- only nmrlestly fur- j
nished. As to the Governor General's car- !
riitK' 1 and horses, the fact is that the •
necessary expenditure in this directtion j
does not come out of the insular funds, ;
but Is met by the United States. General j
Brooke's coachman is paid in the same
way. As to the members of his staff, it
is hardly to be expected that an official
of General Brookes military and admin- j
lstrative status would pay his own trans
portation expenses.
The same answer to the charge can be
made in the case of General Ludlow, who
has only a few rooms and is liberally sur
rounded with officers. lie has very tew
servants. Not many men of equal rank
and means in . the United States would
be content with what satisfies General
Ludlow.
Brigadier Genera! Lee lives in a house
which he rents, and Generals Wilson and j
Wood, the military governors of the de- ;
partments of Matanzas-Santa Clara and
Santiago, live most democratically.
As for Colonel Bliss and Major Davis, I
army officers of their rank who hold high j
administrative offices, the opinion is gen
t-rally expressed that it is only fair to
make them a reasonable allowance to
cover what is necessary.
MANIAC THREATENS TO
MURDER AN OFFICER
Outwitted and Relieved of the Pistol
With Which He Sought to
Take Life.
STOCKTON, Aug. 4.— Deputy Sheriff
Smith faced death at the hands of a
maniac this morning. A telephone mes
sage took him and Constable Grant to
the Mullen place on Sharps lane, four
miles south of Stockton. Mrs. Mullen
and her child had been driven from their
i home by a demented man armed with a
! pistol, and were crouching in the weeds
by the road, afraid to come from under
cover. When the officers arrived the
crazy man was seated on :i pile "f sacks,
and as Smith went around the house he
ran into a pistol muzzle The fellow
aimed straight at his body and dartd tne
officer to arr< st him.
Smith was unarmed and started in to
parley with the man. telling him he had
come t" levy an attachment. He knocked
at the dour and pretended to get an
answer from inside, not molesting the
maYiiac. who had him covered all the
time. The maniac was finally outwitted
and lowered his weapon. Grant seized
the revolver and the fellow was put into
the carriage and brought to Stockton.
At the courthouse he made a desper
ate fight, and it required three men to
hold him. He gave th* name of Jim
Budd. The man is about 3u years old.
He lived at Miller's San Joaquin House
here.

MISCELLANEOUS.
WONDERFUL
CURE OF HON.
WM. MITCHELL
Suffered for Twenty Years
With Catarrh, Stomach,
Sore Eyes and Lung
Troubles.
Was Instantly Relieved by Dr.
Aborn, the Spxiaiist, at
554 Suiter Street.
WELL KNOWN JUDGE OF OREGON
He Testifies in Strong Language to
ths Lffichncy o His Treatment
by Dr. Aborn.
Dr. Aborn'f< excellent work as a special-
ist in tin- treatment of obstinate and
chronic diseases of the stomach, lungs,
eye and ear, and all catarrhal and bron-
chial affections is evidenced by the ac-
companying testimonial by Hon. William
Mil. hell, County Judge of Morrow Coun-
ty Oregon, and residing at Heppner. in
the county named. Dr. Aborn is the spe-
cialist in diseases of the eye, ear, throat
and lungs:
THIS IS TO CERTIFY
That for twenty years I was afflicted
with catarrh of the head,, and also
was suffering from granulated sore
eyes; my throat and bronchial tubes
and lungs were also affected, caus-
ing affection of the stomach, which re-
sulted in indigestion and sour stomach,
caused by the catarrhal secretions drop-
ping down from my head into the throat
and passing into the stomach. In fact.
I was afflicted from the crown of my head
down. 1 had tried almost all catarrhm
remedies without being cured, and as the
disease was so SERIOUSLY AFFECT-
ING my THROAT, STOMACH and
LUNGS, I BECAME ALARMED, for I
knew the disease would soon TERM IN -
| ATE IN CONFIRMED CONSUMPTION.
i I had the measles thirty odd years ago,
I and my eyes have been affected since that
time. My ears also became affected,
caused by the catarrh, so that I was quite
: hard of hearing. It will be seen by the
statement of my case that my ailments
were quite complicated, and I have had
as many complications of ailments as any
j one man could well endure. In this pain-
ful and distressing condition I placed my-
self under the treatment of Dr. Aborn,
■ and I am most happy to state that Dr.
I Aborn has displayed a masterly hand over
mv complication of diseases, and GAVK
j ME INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF.
My catarrhal affection, throat and
I stomach, and my eyes have also improved
! as by magic under his treatment in five
• days' time. He has also improved my
hearing. I now return to my home at
Heppner, Morrow County, Oregon, where
; I am County Judge. I am a pioneer set-
i tier of Umatilla and Morrow counties.
1 having located in Umatilla County in 1 V 59
: and I am well known throughout Eastern
Oregon. From the speedy relief I have
received from the skillful and scientific
treatment at the hands of Dr. Aborn I
can cheerfully and conscientiously recom-
; mend all similarly afflicted to apply to
Dr Aborn with the utmost confidence
that he understands the SUCCESSFUL
TREATMENT OF THESE OBSTINATE
ANH CHRONIC COMPLAINTS. Very
truly, WM. MITCHELL,
County Judge. Morrow County, Oregon.
Residence, Heppner, Oregon.
Thirty years of Dr. Aborn's successful
practice have been devoted to the treat-
ment of diseases of the eye, ear, catarrh
of the head, asthma and all affections of
tli.- lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and diges-
tive organs. Sufferers from these com-
plaints would do well to call upon him
for free consultation. Dr. Aborn's office
hours are from 9:30 a. m. to-,12 m. and 2
t,. 4 p. m. His treatment revitalizes the
1 system and builds up the impaired con-
! stltutlon.
