J. M. Thomas, secretary, of the State
L/alry Bureau, has sent out a circular
to the many retailers of dairy produce
In the State warning them r against ac
cepting any "process" or "renovated"
l.iitler. which Is mnnufurttire'l In the
Kast and shipped here to be put upon
t hi market. There is a law which was
piihfced by the Legislature some time ago
requiring tho manufacturers to stamp
this quality of butter, but In many in
stances it Is palmed off as the flrst-class
•ri^cle. Thomas desires' all the retailers
to bo on their guard against this Inferior
grade of goods, and has Issued the fol
lowing circular: -
Owing 'to th« 'fact that there has recently
gang -waited a few days before San Fran
cisco was reached. They waited for of
llcers—any officers, but preferably Cap
tain King; As It happened Captain King
came along, so did Captain Worklzor,
lieutenant Parker, the police officer, and
Lieutenant Cullison. A ' bu.rly soldier
made ' a pniss at King;. King* cheerfully
accepted tho challenge, having nothing
else Ho do, Indeed. The soldier stepped
in, and for all King's size and wlrincss
promptly "had the officer In difficulties.
King was pressed over against a wall,
with the soldier's left hand squeezing the
breath out of his throat and the sol
dier's right hand raining blows. It was
just about this time that Lieutenant Cul
lison ."got busy."
. Cuillson is all arms and shoulders,
about six feet of man, an enlisted man
himself one time, a scientific tighter al
ways. To be sure, Parker/and WarkiZer
v/cro not Inactive, but It was Cullison
that showed the soldiers how terribly h
man can punish Wnen he gets started.
That ended the engagement for that par
ticular day, but the rows were not over
till the voynge ended.
Two men the belligerent soldiers never
molested. These were Sergeant Hart
man nf II company of the Second, who
fcalutes nix times to the minute when
talking to an officer and can split a string
with a .revolver ball »t any reasonable
distance, and "Tucson Pete," otherwise
Acting Sergeant Peter Jones of Arizona,
former cow-puncher and all-round handy
men In a mix-up. As for, the other mem
bers of II company,- who policed the boat,
tho returning soldiers attempted no open
violence, for a cartridge belt and a long*
tarrelcd revolver are great deterrents.
The toughs contented themselves with
playfully. spitting at the guards whenever
the latter passed. '
¦ Now that It is all- over, the Thomas is
coing Into drydock'and try to get clean
once again. '

as a retailer to the fact that a law enacted
by the (.eftlsUlure In 1809 requires all dealers
to brand each and every package of goods of
this description with the words "process" or
"renovated" butter In letters not less than
one-lialf Inch In height. Whether sold In
large quantities or In umall parcels each pack

It comes from the East. In branded and has
upon It an Internal revenue tax stamp unless
removed by some one. so that retail buyers
should know what they are receiving.
A wortl In reference to the nature of "pro

dealers. This kind of butter Is made In the
Ka*t by factories which buy up stale rancid
and almost worthless butter, and by a process
of melting and treating this oil remove or

INDEMNITY COMMISSIONERS
WHO RETURNED FROM
CHINA ON THE THOMAS.
One gentleman, who has made a close
study of Internal affairs in China, says
that there Is little likelihood of a recur
i once of the Boxer troubles, so far as the
northern part of the empire Is concerned,
during the lifetime of the Empress Dow
iiEor. He In of the opinion that. left t3
himself, the Emperor might again em
brr.ee policies antagonistic to the con
servative sentiment, which will brook no
plan of westernization. In this event
there may be a second uprising.'
The general sentiment, according x to
thin authority, is very favorable to Amer
icans, the Chinese regarding the United
States a.-* the country whhch helped them
out of a most embarrassing situation. As
to the matter of the exclusion of coolies
from the United States, this gentleman
said: » •
Th« Chinese, an a rocttrr of fact, rare very
llttl« about thin. Now and then. , come one
will get u;> and make a scml-earnest protest
agalntt exclusion, but this Is generally for ef
fect, and bi no way- to be taken ft* the serlou*
objection « the rulern nf the kingdom. What
the Chinese really do want, and want most
decidedly. \ls freedom of entry to 'the. Philip
pines. Here Is a country geographically close
and sending up continually not only an invi
tation but a supplication for Chinese labor to
develop Its resource*. The Chinese feel keenly
their exclusion from the Island possessions of
the United States.

China speak highly of the manner in
which the commission performed Its work
in Peking, Tientsin. Paoting-fu. New
chwang, Chefu and Shanghai.
CHINA WILL BE GOOD.
Tho Chinese Government, appreciative
of the efforts of Mr. Baihbrldge, desired
to present, him the imperial Order of the
Poublo Dragon, which, however, he could
net accept.
The commissioners will proceed direct
ly to Washington to report to th© State
Department, after which they will enjoy
their leaves of absence, Mr. Balnbrldge

It was aft^r Nagasaki that the brig held
Its ninety-seven prisoners. Bread and

had worn off and the transport, thumped

It has been five years since either Mr.
Bainl>rldge or Consul Ragsdale has been
in the United States. Their term of ser
vice covers a peculiarly Interesting pe
riod of Chinese affairs, beginning with the
tled by Messrs. W. E. Balnbrldge
and James W. Ragsdale, who reached San
Francisco yesterday on. the army trans
pert Thomas. These diplomats, the com
mission appointed to Investigate and ad
just all private losses reported by Amer
icans who suffered during the so-called
Boxer outbreak of 1900, have submitted
their report to the State Department,
through Minister Conger, and the docu
ment is now on its way to Washington.
Out of W.000.000 asked for. the commis
sion allows approximately $1,600,000.
Messrs. Balnbridge and Ragsdale were
appointed because of their peculiar fitness
and thorough familiarity with affairs
loading up to the siege of Peking, the
first named having served as secretary of
the United States legation since the
spring of 1S9S, and the last named beinif
the American Consul at Tientsin. .
When the* agreement was reached be
tween China and the powers whereby the
eastern empire was to pay a tHtal indem
nity of 450.000.000 taels, or about $360,000.
000, and tho share of the United State*
placed at 25,000.000 taels, a great number
of private claims were filed. In addition
to the overshadowlngly large claim of the
Government. . The 230 claims Investigated
by the commission between April 1 and
November 17 of this year were made up
of applications for Indemnity from mis
sionary societies, private individuals who
had suffered loss of property, commercial
bodies and claims from relatives ¦ of
Americans killed during the outbreak.

The men growled, swore shore venge
ance on the officers, pot properly seasick,
forgot their grievances— and landed In
Nagasaki. That was a time. Captain
Worklzer of the Second, In charge of II
company of sixty-six men, won't forget
it. He happened to be officer of the day
on that occasion, and he put in forty
hours without touching the pillow. Naga
saki, from shopman to naMve policeman,
won't forget It. The returning soldier
won't forget It. Five of this class will
have more than ample reason for remem
bering the landing. These were left on

were arrested were released and allowed
to continue on tli» Thomas, after thoy

The engagement opened at Mariveles,
the quarantine station for Manila. For
five days a dozen clerks in the pay de
partment were busy squaring accounts
with the men whose connection with the
army ends when they land toMay from
the Thomas. Four professional gamblers
of Manila, formerly enlisted men, were on
board, and they lost no time in separat
ing the crowd from their cash. One man
with a small roulette wheel cleared up
$2000 in American money before his carper
¦was clos»?d. The other three were fortu
nate in lesser degrees.
POKES. CHIPS GO OVERBOARD.
Then Captain Whitworth. commanding
o^lcer of troops on board, gave instruc
tions to his helpers to stop the perform
ance. The officer of the day and other
assistants to Captain Whitworth made a
round-up of the men and the men's quar
ters, with the result that about a bushel
ol poker chips, cards innumerable, loaded
dice and other gambling devices were
gathered in and thrown over the side.

Considering the manrtcr in which the
consignment was made up. it would have
been more than strange if there had been
no trouble. The 1097 men were 1097 picked
men, the hardest characters in the Phil

the worst men in his following, and they
footed up a formidable total for dishon

has accommodations for twenty-four

Thomas' trip was ninety-two bread-and

This demand on the part of the Order
of Railroad Conductors and the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen was decided
upon at Kansas City In an executive
meeting held last June. At this meeting 1
ail the organizations agreed upon a gen
era! committee, and W. V. Stafford, a
conductor in the employ of the Southern
PaciSc. was named as chairman. For sev
eral months the officials of the Southern
Pacific have been waiting for these de
mands fcr an increase in wages to be
li'.ed. That it does not Intend to fight the
conductors and brakemen is evident.
The demands of the employes of the
Santa Fe and other big railroads will be
cettled in Chicago.
WILL NOT FIGHT MEN.
"It will grant an increase of pay to the
conductors and the brakemen," he re
plied. "Of course, the company will not
do It at once, but It will certainly in
crease the men's pay. The Southern Pa
cific will lay low for awhile and watch
what the other roads do "
'•'Will nor all the railroads unite and
settle the matter with the Order of Rail
road Conductors and the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen together?*'
"No. Each road will settle its own af
fairs. You sec, the Southern Pacific pays
its conductors and brakemen more than
the other roads do now. We- are supposed
to give an answer on January 1. but the
Southern Pacific Company will not be
able to decide the matter on that date.
We will want a little more time in which
to settle the matter." ,
"The railroad m<>n are organized so
strongly that their demands must be
cranted," said a. general officer of the
Southern Pacific yesterday. "Do you know
that thpy are 15'.'.0&> iitrong." he continued,
"and that they can if they want to tie up
every road west of Chicago?"'
"Well, what will the Southern Pacific
do about it?" he was asked.
STHONGLY ORGANIZED.
On September 11 of this year The Call
announced that the Order of Railroad
Conductors and the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen would demand an Increase
cf 20 ptr cent at an early date. Yester
day the climax came.
The railroad war, affecting all roads
v.est cf Chu-apo, is on. Yesterday the
Older of Railroad Conductors and the
lirotherhood of Railroad Trainmen filed
r.lth the representative head of each rail
road a long document demanding an In
creace of 20 per cent In wages. This in
ert ase is to take, effect the 1st of Janu
ary. The Southern Pacific Company was
nut overlooked in the matter and received
notice tho same as the rest of the roads.
From a most reliable source It was
learned that tho Southern Pacific will
i-raiu the men in both organizations an
increase of pay. Whether the company
will give them 20 per cent more has not
been settled. It is willing to give them
an increase, but has not yet decided upon
the- figure.
Southern Pacific Will Grant
an Increase but Others
May Not.

John B. Hoover, who conducts Hoover's
University of Physical Culture, and who
has achieved considerable '* notoriety of
latev because r of his connection with an
alleged conspiracy to defraud Mrs. Gage
H. Philllps-Moxey; wife of Oliver N.
Moxey, one of "Hoover's instructors, and
a one-time pupil at* the university, spent
an uncomfortable afternoon yesterday. In
the Probate Court, where proceedings to
have Mrs. Moxey declared Incompetent
are" being heard. Hoover, who was cro&s
examined by Attorney Louis, Hoeffier,
made several remarkable answers to
questions propounded to him by Hoeffler,
and became flustered during the course
of the examination.
1 Hoover's attack of "rattles" commenced
when the attorney asked him why he con
sidered himself competent fo make out a
deed to property.
"Are you an attorney?" he was asked.
. "No," replied Hoover.
"Wercxiju ever admitted to practice?"
interrupted the court. ,-"
"Yes," said Hoover; "in Chicago, in
1S98."
"Then you are an attorney," responded
the court.
"Well, I never practiced," said the
physical culture professor, nervously.
"Before what court were you admit
ted?" he was next asked. '
"The United States Circuit Court' of
Chicago," said Hoover.
The answer elicited broad smiles from
the attorneys sitting about the courtroom.
The smiles became broad grins at Hoo
ver's next answer to a question asked him
by the court;
"You mean the State Circuit Court, do
you not, Mr. Hoover?" asked the court.
*'\"es. that'? the court," said the wit
-ness with a smile, evidently greatly
pleased With the court's suggestion, but
falling to realize that there is no such in
stitution.
Hoover also became badly "rattled"
when questioned as to whether he had
not secured a license to sell liquors at
Hoover Hall. He denied having done so,
but it was shown that In February of this
year Oliver N. Moxey had secured a li
cense to sell liquor at the "university."
