B.— Commissary General Weston has received the reports of the officers in charge of the Thirty first Infantry while on board the trans port Rio Janeiro upon the alleged poison ing of the men through spoiled meats. The report of the regimental surgeon, C. W. Frye, has already been published to the effect that the poisoning resulted from fresh and not canned meat. The other report Is from Lieutenant Colonel Plummer. He states that 289 men were made sick on October 22 and 23 after leaving Honolulu bound for Manila, and one man died. This was the result of ptomaine poisoning from the condition of the fresh meat eaten. From the experi ence, of the voyage.. Colonel Plummer rec ommends that meat for the use of the troops be packed by persons expert in packing fresh . meats for long voyages; also that officers of the quartermaster's and commissary's "departments be occa sionally sent on the transports to acquire experience. General Weston haa forwarded the re ports to Major Baldwin, the commissary in charge at San Francisco, to develop other facts relative to the responsibility for the condition of the meat AWFUL CONDITIONS IN FAMINE-SWEPT INDIA Starving Parents Sell Children to Ob tain Food, or Abandon Them to Die of Hunger.

Jan. B.— The developments In to-day's proceedings in the trial of Roland B. Molineux for the murder of Mrs. Katharine J. Adams brought the hope that the prosecution would get through with Its case by the end of the present week. Three witnesses gave Im portant testimony. Morris Hermann, a member of the firm In Newark for which Molineux was superintendent, said that the firm of Morriß Hermann & Co. went into the dry color business In 1596 with Molineux as superintendent, and it was upon the latter's knowledge of dry colors and chemical recipes that they started to work. Evidence was Introduced last week to show the ease with which cyanide of mercury, the poison which is alleged to i»ave killed Mrs. Adams, could be produced by a combination of dry colors. Edward B. Hay of Washington testi fied as an expert In handwriting. He gave it as his opinion that the letters signed "Barnet" and "Cornish" and the ad mitted handwritings were written by the Bame person. .»ie also said that the ad mitted handwritings and disputed writ- Ings In the "Barnet" and "Cornish" let ters and that of the poison package ad dress were all written by one man and that man was the prisoner at the bar Alfred H.

OMAHA, Jan. 8. — "Jackson's day" was appropriately celebrated in Omaha to-day by the Jacksonian Club. Three separate functions were down on the programme and each was a distinct success. The first was an informal reception held at club headquarters this afternoon, at which AY. J. Bryan, Congressmen Car mack of Tennessee, Overmeyer of Kan sas and Weaver of lowa and several other Democratic lights were the guests. Mr. Bryan was the center of attraction, and during the two hours the reception lasted several hundred Democrats paid their re spects. At 6 o'clock a dinner was ten dered Mr. Bryan and a few other notables at the Omaha Club. At 9 o'clock to-night occurred the annual banquet of the club In the parlors of tha Paxton Hotel. Covers were laid for 300, and there were no vacant places. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, editor of the Omaha World-Herald and late candidate for United. States Senator, officiated as toajst master. The speech of the evening was Mr. Brian's in response to the toast. "Our Nation." As the well known Lincoln man arose to respond he was greeted with tumultuous applause, and when he re sumed his seat another ovation was given him. He spoke in part as follows: "If Southern white men." said he, "have falsified, election returns they have the stronger. If not the better, reason that they are acting upon the same law ot self defense that Insulted and outraged human nature resorts to for the protection of homes and families from a race that sets at defiance all moral restraints upon their brutal desires." This evil, he thought, would end only when the United States had provided a home, for the negro race suited to their traits. The House to-day ordered two investi gations as a result of resolutions intro duced by Representative Lentz of Ohio. The first is to be an Investigation by the Committee on Postofflces and Postroads Into the charge that two Federal ap pointees of the President — Postmaster John C. Graham of Provo City, Utah, and Postmaster Orson Smith of Logan. Utah — are under indictment as polygamists. and whether affidavits to that effect were on file at the time of their appointment. The other Is a general Investigation of the Military Committee into the conduct of General Merriam and the United States army officers during the Wardner (Idaho) riots and subsequent there to. The House adjourned until Wednesday. LAND ARRAYED AGAINST CLARK Battle for Mayor's Chair in Sacramento. RESTRAINING ORDER SECURED POLICE READILY OBEY ORDERS ISSUED BY CLARK. Opposition Alleges a Violation of the Purity of Elections Law and Hopes to Deprive the Mayor- Elect of His Chair. • Special Dispatch to The Call SACRAMENTO, Jan. B.— Superior Judge Johnson this evening granted a tempor ary injunction restraining Mayor-elect George H. Clark from Interfering with tho duties of Mayor William Land. The decision is a sensational climax to one of the most remarkable days in the political history of Sacramento. The Call this morning told of the entrance of Mayor Clark and a detachment of police into the City Hall shortly after the midnight hour and the ejectment from office of Mayor Land and his attorney, Chauncey 11. Dunn. The day hf»d scarcely dawned when Chief of Police Ash was directed by Mayor Land to suspend Orncers Fisher and Naghel from the police force for their participation in his ejectment. Last night Chief Ash informed the officers of the tenor of the Mayor's message, but they refused to surrender their stars. Every official in the city government was in turn notified by Mayor Land of his claim that he was still the administrative head, but Mayor Clark was not asleep by any means. Bright and early he was at the police station with his attorney, Hiram W. Johnson, and notified Chief of Police Ash that he should recognize him as the Mayor and pay no heed to the emana tions of Land. At noon to-day, after Chief Ash had taken time to ascertain where he was at, he announced that he would recognize Clark as Mayor. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the newly elected Board of Trustees, which forms a co-ordinate branch of the municipal gov ernment with the office of Mayor, met and officially declared its recognition of Clark as Mayor. While a message was being read before the Trustees, in which Mayor Clark spoke glowingly of the fu ture of Sacramento under the joint ad ministration of himself and the Trustees complications were making in the Supe rior Court four blocks away. Scarcely had the Trustees entered upon their session when Mayor Land filed a suit in the Superior Court, contesting Clark's right to hold office. The suit wa° based upon section 3 of the purity of elections law, which provides that no candidate can claim office unless he has filed within lifte«n days a full statement of his expense* of election. Land claims that Clark did not hie this statement in the time speched by law. , T . he ftUns of the suit was immediately followed by an application to Judge John son for a temporary injunction restrain '"c lark from occupying the rooms of tho Mayor In the City Hall and from In terfering with Mayor Land's full and free exercise of the duties of Mayor. Long and eloquently the lawyers pleaded on both sides. Authorities In great numbers were produced In support of the contend ing pleas. Judge Johnson listened patient ly until long after the Courthouse had cjoHed for the night, and shortly before 8 o clock granted the temporary injunction asked for. Although the injunction Issued by Judge Johnson is but temporary in character, its effect has been to completely demoral ize the city government. Mayor Clark this afternoon sent in tne nomination of John E. Sullivan as Chief of Police, but It is not probable that the Board of Trus tees will fly In the face of Judge John son s decree and follow Its determination formed this afternoon, of recognizing the title of Mayor Clark and the validity of his appointments. Said Judge Johnson to The Call cor respondent to-night: "The injunction' which I issued to-night is only temporary I Mayor Clark can come into my court i with his attorneys on a few hours' notice i and argue for its dissolution. To-day's i motion was ex-parte, and there was no! need for the presence of Clark's at torneys, but they were present through courtesy. Ten days Is the limit in which the matter of dissolving an injunction may be presented, but I assured coun- i sel that I desired to facilitate an early adjustment of the difficulties and would be ready to open court on three or four • hours notice to accommodate them " i Exciting as were the incidents of to-day the developments of to-morrow are be- I ing awaited with no less intense interest About three weeks ago William H Brad- ' ley. who was a captain of police here ! four years ago, brought suit as a citizen ' against the induction of Clark, alleging i that he was guilty of violations of the ! purity of elections law, In having Incurred campaign expenses not Included in his of- i flclal statement. This suit has been set for-hearing in the Superior Court to-mor row and it promises, in viow of the pres ent remarkable state of affairs, to have great, significance and interest. It has been said that Bradley would "fall down" whenxhe moment for action arrived but Bradley Insists that ho will not, and has publicly ' declared that If the witnesses! upon whom he relies fail to respond ' some one will be likely to go to the penl- ; tentlary. It is said to-night to be prob able that a judge from some outside! county will be chosen to preside In the ! case. It was upon the pendency of this ; action that Mayor Land based his claim for the continuance in office. He has been advised by his attorneys that It his duty to refuse to surrender possession of the office until his successor has filed all statements reaulred by law. Mayor 1 WAR QUESTION IN THE SENATE Pettigrew Arraigns the Government. ACCUSES IT OF TREACHERY HIS CHARGES REPLIED TO BY LODGE. Senator Morgan, Discussing the Race Problem, Deplores the Grant ing of the Suffrage to Negroes. WASHINGTON. Jan. B.— During a dis cussion to-day of a resolution of inquiry offered by Pettlgrew of South Dakota, some sensational statements were made in the Senate regarding the attitude of the United States toward the Filipino in surgents. Pettigrew declared that the Government had attacked Its allies, and .thereby had been guilty of the grossest treachery. This statement was resented warmly by Lodge of Massachusetts, who , declared that .thla Government had done noth ing of the. kind, and - that, not even remotely, had. it recognized the so-called Government of the Filipinos* t ¦ ,_'.- S Morgan (D.) of Alabama discussed at length the race question in the South, baaing his remarks * upon a resolution offered by Prltchard (K.) of North Caro lina. He. maintained that to attempt to force the black race into social and po litical equality with the white race was only to clog the progress of all mankind. Morgan said that no great body of white people In the world could be expected to qwletly accept a situation so distressing and demoralizing as was created by negro suffrage fn the South. Morgan declared that in many places in the South thou sands of negro votes, In doubtful coun ties, with little concealment were bought for $1 each. > Those who studied the money Question in IM'B foresaw the danger threatened by the gold standard and i>ointeU out that its permanent establishment would involve us in every tlnan cial disturbance hovering in Europe. But thinkers were for the most part blind to the warning. What do we see now? Notwith standing the increased production of Kold a few victories won by the Boers in South. Africa have alarmed the same bankers and they are now fearing a panic unless England is Immediately successful. Their financial In terests In England's triumph Is so great that many of them have silenced their sympathy for a struggling republic and are hoping for the extension of the authority of a Queen. If such agitation results from war between England and a little republic what must we expect if war ever breuks between two (jold- Fiar.dunl countries of the Hist class? With out financial independence this nation cannot be independent either In its foreign or domestic jtolicy; yet the Republican party Is even now preparing to chain America like a captive to Europe's eplden chariot. . Tho«<e who studied the money question in 1896 also foresaw that the retirement of the greenbacks was a part of the gold standard plan. Many Republicans scouted at the Idea and ¦ the President avoided every mention of the matter in his letter of acceptance. But now the scheme is belns unfolded and the financiers are to be empowered to expand or contract the currency at their will and for their own pecuniary' advantage. . Those who studied the trust question In IS9« foresaw that an administration placed In power by the aid of great monopolies could not be relied upon to destroy the trusts, but many who.cotUd not be convinced by argument are now ' being convinced by the growth and In creased audacity of the private monopolies. Any one who has read hlitory or under stands-human nature knows that one race can not cross an ocean and dominate another race without -keeping an army ever present to hold the conquered race in subjection, and yet the Republican leaden) thought or pretended to think, .that, an Imperial policy would be ac cepted by the Filipinos with delight. The decision of the nation on the Philippine question will b* an epoch-making deolslon. We stand at the parting of the ways and must choose between the doctrine of republics and the doctrine ot empires. At this supreme orUls In' our nations history we may well recall the words of Lowell: "Once to every man and nation cornea the moment to decide In the strife of truth with falsehood for the good or evil side. Borne great cause, God'n new messlah, offer ing each the bloom or blight. Parts the goats upon the left hand and the sheep upon the right. And -the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light." THE INVESTMENT OF LADYSMITH. SANTO DOMINGO MUST APOLOGIZE The Frenc."i Government Adds to Its Demands. Special Dispatch to The Call CALL HEADQUARTERS. WELLING TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Jan. !>.— Besides the payment of installments of money remaining due In the Boismare- Caccavelli claims the French Government has demanded an apology from Santo Do mingo. An official dispatch to this effect, was received by Secretary Hay to-day from the American representative at Santo Domingo. The department has been advised of the prospective arrival of a French squadron in Dominican waters for the pur pose of compelling Immediate compliance with the French demands. Under orders Issued several days ago, without refer ence to the Frencn incident, the gunboat Machias will return to Santo Domingo from San Juan, whither she went for coal. Upon his arrival about the middle of the week at Santo Domingo Commander Lo gan will consult with the American Min ister for the protection of American in terests. The authorities have been advised that the money r?quired to pay the French claims has been collected by popular sub scription, and the only remaining ques tion to be settled is that. connected with the demand for an apology. The Domini can Government has not applied to the United States to interfere, and there is no disposition on tW part< of this Govern ment to do so, though it Is learned that the department went so far as to prepare an instruction to Embassador Porter at Paris, which; however, was not sent. It is expected that the Jimlnes Government will have to comply with the French de mand and that the Incident will be settled in a few days. The course of the new Government is likely to have an important effect upon its future, as it Is not be lieved that the people will consent to supine compliance. The authorities, how ever, see no other way out of the diffi culty for President Jimlnes. The prospective prompt settlement of the French claims has called the attention of the authorities to the desirability of securing action in American matters. Minister Powell will receive in a few days an Instruction to vigorously press the Dominican Government for payment of the remaining installment due in the Mc- Kinley claim, and with the Machias In the harbor the representation may be ef fective. ; In view of the necessity of rais ing money by popular subscription for the payment of the French claims it is not expected that immediate satisfaction will be given, but dates will be specified upon which the payments shall be made. JIMINES RAISES THE NECESSARY MONEY Special Cable to The Call and New York Her atd. Copyrighted. 1300. by James Gordon Bennett. SANTO DOMINGO. Jan. B.— President Jimlnes, who haa been at Macoris since Saturday superintending the raising of the popular subscription to pay the Boismare-Caccavelli claim to the French Government, returned this afternoon with 200,<>00 francs. The claim amounts to isu.iXH) francs. As the popular subscrip tion Is larger than the claim, the Do minicans are rejoicing. The return of tho President under such auspicious circum stances was marked by patriotic enthu siasm and a general flag display. The French cruiser Cecille saluted the gun boat on which President Jlminea re turned. The gunboat answered the sa lute. No steps have been taken by the French Consul further than Intrusting the case to Admiral Richard. No disorders have occurred but popu lar sentiment Is against apologizing to France. People are urging the Govern ment to prepare a Bystem of defense, as the overthrow of the Government would be menaced at the first evidence of weak ness. In raising the popular subscription many ladies offered their Jewelry. One Spanish and one Italian merchant have Incurred the dislike of the people by their failure to subscribe. Placards have been printed urging a boycott of the two firms. The arrival of the French cruiser Ce cllle created considerable excitement. She reached Santo Domingo yesterday afternoon, but did not salute as she en tered the harbor. The situation here Is tranquil and the Government has urged the people to show no hostility to France. It is re ported that France will send two addi tional warships to this island. POUND WRECKED Manuel Gazerio's Cows Found Their Way Back to Pasture. MILL VALLEY. Jan.

This morning the barriers had disappeared as com pletely as though the earth had swallowed them. Brokpn railings plainly showed the manner of their exit, and a little expert tracking on the part of Magner led him to Gazerjo's pasture, where the released animals were peacefully grazing. When taxed with the destruction of the pound and the seizure of the cattle, Gazerio protested against Impoundment in general and this latest in particular. A warrant was issued for his arrest this af ternoon. OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Californians Oppose a Secret Hear ing on the French and Jamai can Treaties.

B.— The Senate to day took up the Samoan treaty in execu tive pension, and after having it read from the de=k Senator Davis, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, made a brU'f statement explanatory of the pro visions of the treaty. While the state ment was In progress Senator Pettlgrew asked. "How many people the United Etates had bought with the islands this country comes into possession of by the transfer?" Davis refused to admit the applicability of the language to the trans action. Senator Bacon stated his opposition to the treaty, and gave notice that he would risk to be heard upon it when the treaty was agn'n taken up. The injunction of secrecy was removed from the treaty.

WRECK NARROWLY AVERTED. REDDING. Jan. B.— A. passenger train wreck In tunnel No. 1, about a mile and a half above Copley, was luckily averted Sunday night. A tramp named IJaskln son found the southern end of the tun nel closed with earth from a landslide He knew that the Portland and San Francisco express, squth bound, was nearly due. Once in the tunnel a terrible loss of life was certain. He hurriedly re treated from the tunnel, built a fife of wood torn from the fences and awited the arrival of the south-bound train. The tramp did not know, however, that the passenger was late, and that a special train was to first pass over the track on its way northward to Dunsmulr to get W Yi. Mills of the land department of the Southern Pacific to convey him to San Francisco. The southern approach to the tunnel Is on a curve and Engineer Hollls was within three car lengths of the obstruc tion before he saw the mass of dirt and rocks covering the track. Trowing on the brakes and reversing the engine, he and the fireman jumpr-d Just as the ob struction was struck. They were unin jured, but the engine was rendered use less. Conductor Pierson sent the fireman back to stop any north-bound train and proceeded to walk northward to Kennet to stop the passenger. Then the tramp and the fire were discovered, l^asklnson has been promised a reward. • . . . Brakeman Injured.

TOO MANY ASSESSMENTS GRAND JURY ASKED TO IrTAKK AN INVESTIGATION. Experts Say That Paying Ore Is in Sight in one of the Mines, bat the Stockholders Have Lost Heart. Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO. Jan. B.— Considerable excite ment prevails here on account of the an nouncement that the Tuolumne Mother Lode and Development Company 13 about to collapse for want of funds to carry on its operations. The company Is composed almost entirtly of Fresno people and has Its principal j4ace of business in this city. The number of stockholders Is over 200. Their interest in the corporation varies from $^0 to $100 i). The company first start ed to develop the Sell mine in Tuolumne County, but was compelled to shut down on account of the dry season. In the meantime they began to drill in what i* known a« Uig Oak mine No. 1. They have now reached a point where experts claim they will have to go only a hundred feat deeper in order to «trike paying ore. When it commenced operations the cor poration had thousands of dollars con tributed by the various stockholders. Later the directors held a meeting and bonded the mine to Captain Neville of the Rawhide for $20,000 additional. A few days ago they met again and levied an assessment of 25 ctnta a share on tha stockholders with the prospect of an other levy of 50 cents in the near futura in order to pay off the bonded indebted ness. The stockholders have refused to pay the last assessment, declaring that it amounts practically to confiscation. Of the 42.000 shares 3_\u"0 are now delin quent. The delinquent stockholders de clare that they will not contribute an other cent until the books of the company have been experted and a thorough In vestigation hail. They want to know what the directors did with the money. It is understood that the matter has been placed In the hands of the Grand Jury now In session. The directors of tha company up to a few days ago were N. W. Moodey, Jay Scott, H. E. Barnum. J. L. Marble and Tom Brown. Clark's attorneys, however, openly charge Land with being at the back of Bradley'a suit. His bond is J25.0U0 and last night Mayor Clark offered him an indemnity which he himself might select and approve in the sum of $150,000 if he would retire in favor of Clark. If public opinion could utj sounded to night It would unquestionnoly be found In favor of Clark. Land was not a can didate at the November election. Clark, as the Republican nominee, ran against R. D. Stephens, the Democratic nominee, and by an immense majority defeated him. Even those who opposed Clark's candidacy were disposed to bow to the will of the people and give Clark a fair show to make for himsalf the record which he had promised the taxpayers. That he has been thwarted on the very threshold of his career there can be no doubt and disinterested citizens are de ploring the present unfortunate circum stances. It is argued that, even granted that Mayor Clark has exceeded the limi tations pet down by the purity of elections law. he Is in no different position from nine out of every ten candidates for office, nor probably from those very officials who are now urine: the law as an instru ment to defeat the desires of the majority of the voters of Sacramento. T T p to a late hour to-nl^'ht the injunc tion papers had not been served upon Clark At to-r!srht's meeting of the Trus tees the anointment of Sullivan by Mayor Clark was rrcrived and the entire night force of nnlire obeyed a summons or Mayor Land to npnear at the session or Trustees to keen order, but there was no disturbance. The board declined to rec ognize Lnnd as Mayor. The Injunction of Judge Johnson will, of course, not take effect until *ervod upon Clark. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1900.
