Brandt/, k. {contracted from O. Etxg.
Brandxtin* : <•< r. Brantxrine, i. c., burned
trine; Ir. Branderin.] An ardent spirit,
iUtilh d from tcine.— Webster* Dictionary.
According to this definition the sick sol- ;
dier, who serves the Government f or $13 a
month and his board and clothes, gets no
brandy. For even though the note appended
to the definition, which makes reference to
"cherry brandy" and "peach brandy,"
which are no more brandy than "barley
cuffee" is coffee, be taken into account, he is
still without that valuable remedial agent.
True, the Government buys thousands of
gallons of "brandy," and it is served out in
regular allowances to the different post?, to
be used "for medicinal purposes only."
Strange to say, the purchasing agents of
Uncle Sam refuse to buy California brandy.
In which grape juice is the prime ingredient.
They also refuse to purchase our wines.
Why is this?
Our Vlneyardists have been trying hard to
secure ac answer to tbe question. Up to
the present time they have received no
reply that is in anyway satisfactory. They
have ascertained that the Government pays
a higher price for so-called " brandy" than
is commanded by the common grades of
California brandy.
Loud has been the complaint of late
among the army officers on this coast—par
ticularly those in th« medical depattment —
again-!- this oversight on the part of the
Government. These officers want the Gov
ernment to buy California wines and bran
dies, ani they Intend to keep up the agita
tion until this is done. As for the San
Francisco dealers, they are pushing the
matter as haid as they can. If they can da
nothing by mere talk, they intend to inter
est Congress in the matter.
The Government states in its advertise
ments for Dids for supplies that, other tilings
being equal, preference will be given to
home products. Why does this not apply
to brandy and wines?
Unbiased expert: of this city were given
an opportunity by The Cam, yesterday to
make tests of three different samples of
Government "brandy" In Email bottles
mixed in with a half-dozen bottles contain
ing samples of California brandy, sold at a
less price, and which came within the scope
of Webster's definitions.
"Good."
"Fair— above the average."
• "Fit medicine for any sick man."
Those were some of the comments made
on the California brandy.
"Vile."
"Execrable."
"Horrible."
Those were some of the comments made
on the Government "brandy."
Medical testimony •■•. ■.- sought and nearly
ail of the doctors who were questioned
accepted the expert's estimates of the, Gov
ernment "brandy," and said that they
would uot prescribe it to any of their pa
tients.
And yet our soldiers— men who are perv
inp their country, and who stand ready at
any moment to be wot cut aud be shot in
ordrr to maintain trie rights of our Govern
ment, or to quell internecinn strife— are
given as meditinc, whrn they are taken
sick, a decoction ccuslsting cliicfly of raw
alcohol and chemicals, into which, if expert
testimony be worth anything, net one drop
•f grape juice euters.
Uncle .Sam ought to know that tbis is not
right. He ought to do better by his soldiers
and by California. He should give the
California viueyardists a chance.
BKCURTXG THE SAJUI'LES.
The Fair Jfanner in Which the Brandies
H'rrr l'n,vurtd.
T^< samples of Government brandy se
ared for the purpose? of test were in nailed
'up cases, each containing twelve sealed
"Quart" bottles. A Call reporter went to the
medical division of the commissary depart
ment and selected t!.e case and the bottles
from which the "brandy" wa^ taken. There
was no opportunity for any changing of the
samples had there been any desire to have
done 60. They were, without any doubt,
fair, average specimens of Government
"brandies."
The first case from which the liqnor was
taken, as well as another obtained in a differ
ent manner, was branded ".Medical I'ur
*eyin? Department, U. 8. Army, New
York." On each bottle in the first case was
the following label:
• ■
: mrtsnr. :
I\ Purchased in 1863-G4. !
. Jttbottled at the Medical Purveying \
; iJeparlmrnt, \rur York City, >
i la 85. •
• •
The sam« kind of label was on each bottle
in the ot^f-r case to which access was had
except i!. -toad of 4 1>>65" there appeared
the fibres "1886."
On« two-ounce bottle wa3 received from
tN» first case and two two-ounce bottles
were taken from th? second. The first case
."• received here only a few days ago from
the^ast. Hie other consignment of "coals
to .Newcastle" was received just one year
Ego. It all came from tho Medical Purvey
inst Department, New York City
♦i. 11 . was stated at the medical depot here
that the brandy «- valued at £2 to* c !30 a
bottle. or-f 8 to «9 a gallon. The informa
tionwas received from another soon that
for this brandy" the Government paid at
the rate of about $5 a gallon, which- as there
ar« only five '^uartf bottle* in a gallon .
cost 51 a bottle. This is cheap for ISG3
brandy, but it is very dear for grain or
potato spirit aud oil of cognac.
The samples of California brandy, «ix in
number were received from different
brandy-dealing firms in this city on the pre
text of purchase, tho firms giving the sam
ples, not knowing that the men asking for
them were Call reporters
In each case cheap brandy was asked f°r, ■
and the prices " given and marked on the
sample bottles ranged from S3 to a gallon
It may be said truly that some of £
brandy was very ordinary. But h"ro it

A skeptic, not in the brfindy busdnesß,
said :
"Your tests wont amount to anything.
How do you know but that tho 6tuff l!>o
Government 6ends out here is California
brandy, bought in the hast? '
"We do not know," was the reply that
was given. "We can only take the Gov
ernment* word for the tact that the brandy
was purchased, as declared on the labels,
in 1863 (14. Tnat, as you ought to know,
was long before California be^au to export
brandy. But even suppose that the Gov
ernment is buying from California potato
spirits, doctored with oil of cognac, or fusel
oil and other chemicals, it will be well to
show. if possible, that there is no excuse
for this, and that it can buy real brandy
here for less money than it has paid for a
chemical mixture which is not brandy at
all."
"Yes but how do you know the Govern
ment's brnudy Is doctored?"
" That is to be ascertained by the pro
posed tests."
MAKIXG THE TESTS.
A Good Shotting for the California Vine
fjardists,
"Analysis of brandy," said a leading
dealer who was applied to for advice on the
subject of testing the spirit, "19 a very diffi
cult undertaking, it is so in the case of
many compounds containing vegetable in
gredient?, but not so if they be mineral. I
nave had many analyses made and 1 no
longer rely upon that means of testing. 1
use the same means that is now employed
by every largo purchaser or distiller of
brandy. A trustworthy brandy-taster must
be employed. Find such a man, or, better,
three such men, and you. will get results not
possible to arrive at by analysis. Take good
cognac, for instance, au analysis will
show that it contains certain constituents,
such as alcohol, aldehyde, furfurol and
iiinyl. Now it is easy enough for an in
genious manufacturer of artificial spirits to
add to his decoctions traces of these in
gredients, so that the chemist is at once
confused and can only guess at the quality
of the spirit. Go to A. Vignier for oue,
and you can go to whoever else you please
for the other testers."
The Cam. man wont to Mr Vignier. lie
found that that gentleman does uot deal in
California brandies at all but in imported
wines and liquors. Here was, therefore, a
man who hud nothing to gain by the teat
Moreover, even if he had the bottles were
so arranged that he could bee no mark upon
them to designate the sources from which
they came. Had he been blindfolded and
made the test in a dark room with his hands
tied behind his Dark there could have been
110 fairer arrangement.
Six small clear glass bottles stood on a
counter before him. They were of various
shapes. Some were tall and slender, others
short and squat and still others of medium
height. Each, however, contained two
ouuecs of brandy. So t.tr as Mr Vinnler's
chances of observation went the bottles
were devoid of any mark. 8 ■ far as color
went there was very little difference.
Mr. \ igniei put a »ieud>>r cut-glass
tumbler be.f ore each of the six bottles as
they stood in the row before him. lucluied
in those six bottles were two of the Govern
ment bra idles, one bottled in ISSS and the
other in 1666. The other four weie of ordi
nal y California stock.
The reporter uncorked the bottles and
Mr. Viguier poured a small quantity into
each glass, the bottom of the t asa being
covered to about halt an inch la depth with
the liquid.
The corks were ail replaced, and Mr
Vignier d d not touch the buttle^ aft r that,
or look at them or see any marts upon
them.
Then the test began, neither Mr. Vignier
nor the reporter speaking a word during the
whole operation. Mr. Vignier placed his
nose iv each glass in turn, and as he did so
he made a mark on a piece of paper, The
Government's brandy stood third and fifth
in the order of the bottle* and to these Mr.
Vignier assigned the word M had." To the
others lie assigned various hieroglyphics
that were not iutellig ble to the reporter.
Then ha took the firs', glass and putting it
to his lips took about onc-thlrd of its cou
tents upon n is tongue. lie held it there for
a quarter of a minute aim then spat it out.
Hi tinned tasting and spitting with the
rest of the samples. It was observed that
whenever he finished testing the California
brandy he spat to the left, and with
moderate force, but whenever be tasted the
Government's medicine for sick soldiers he
Epat to the right and very vigorously.
That to d the story without going further.
But of course that was not acceptable es
proof.
When lie had finished tasting the raw
brandy be poured a teaspoonful of water in
each glass and tasted the combination of
liquids, emitting them from his mouth in
each case as before.
Then he did some more marking on his
paper.
"Among some of these brandies," he then
said, brenkiojj the silence, "there is no par
ticular difference. They smell and taste to
me like ordinary California brandies. They
are all about the same grade, and you know
what a Frenchman thinks of California
brandy, so there is no need for m* to say
anything about them. Bat here is a bottle
of staff that is not brandy at ail. It is par
ticularly vile."
And Mr. Vignier pointed his fincer at one
of the samples of good old 1863 brandy,
sent out here from the East by the Govern
ment "for medicinal purposes only."
Mr. Viguier made a few other remark*
about brandies in general wlilch it Is use
less to record. Then the reporter gathered
up the bottles, not leltiu*; Mr. Vigaler kuow
what bis decision had shown, if it had
shown anything, and wrapped them in
paper.
"Thank*," «aid the rpoorter. going to tho
door. "Good-day, Mr. Vignier."
"Good-day, sir."
"Is (bis branly?" asked The Call re
porter, handing some of the Government*
liquid to F. A. llaber, of the Inglewood
vineyard.
"Let's see," said Mr. Haber.
He took what he called a testing glass or
"no^e" gla?s an.l poured a littlo of the sick
soldieis' medicine into it.
'i he "nose" glass was lon£, and curved
down in a bulb shape at the handle.
Mr. H fiber took the e!ass in his hand and
firmly pressed the bulb with his palm aud
Sneers.
"That it is to warm It a little," lie said,
"liy doing this it throws off stronger fumes."
After half a minute's warming in this
nay, he suielled of the liquid. Then he
shook his Le.sd.
Then be took a sample from the Govern
ment's cellar on his tongue and made a very
wry face. He kept It on his tongue for sev
eral seconds and thoroughly tasted it. Then
he spat it out furiously and rinsed his
mouth with water.
".\ >," said he emphatically, "it Is not
brandy. It is some kind of cheap spirit
doctored with the essence of cognac an I
other chemicals, and given a strong biting
flavor with African oepper. It is then col
ored with caramel or burned sugar. It is
neither brandy nor whisky. It is a very
cheap decoction, that 1 should say would
be very injurious to a man's stomach if he
should take It for a steady drink. Take a
taste of this California brandy and then a
taste of that stuff and you will notice the
difference."
The reporter did so. The California
brandy given him was labeled 1885. It liad
a soft, smooth, pleasant taste and a good
flavor. Dm Government brandy bad a
biting, nipping taste and seemed rank and
crude, although it was purchased years ago,
according to the veracious label it bore.
"My honest opinion is," said Mr. IJaber,
"that tills stuff you have brought me does
not contain one drop of giape juice. It Is
artificial throughout and is coin posed largely
of injurious chemicals."
TEST ISO THK LIQUORS.
California Brandy Comes Out Away Ahead
of the IZattern.
"That stuff is doctored; I would bet a
hat on it," said Charles A. Wetmpre, when
he bad taken a sip of the Government
brandy. " High grade flavored spirits, that.
It has the tu6te of bitter almond in it very
plain. No, sir, 1 would not sell that to my
customers. They call it cognac, do they?
Well, I'll bet that never saw the other side
of the Atlantic. Still it may have; I wont
be too sure about that. But then, the fact
of its having boen imported from France is
nothing in its favor. Most of the European
braudies are beet-root spirits flavored. If

that stuff should b- brought into my office I
would reject i! at nine, it would hurt my
business to sell brandy of that grade."
When told that the United Mutes Govern
ment paid a good round price fur that
liijiinr for medicinal uses in hospitals, Air.
VVelmore wa- considerably surprised.
" Why." said he, "the very idea of the
Federhl Government b*ina tooled on the
Quality of the liquors it buy.s 1* ridiculous.
The Government baa ov.tv possible power
to protect itself. It only needs to go to its
own bonded warehouses and talce its pick.
It c.v buy double stampod goods out of
bond, or a;iv grade it pleases, and be abso
lutely sure, of its qual t>.
"N"ow in buying Kuropean liquors the
Government, the suuie as any on>- else, lias
on y the finishing stamp and label to go by.
There i* no absolute guaranty to foreign
liquors, beyond the expert's ta«-tr> ai:d smell
or a chemical analysis. K.ir madidnal pnr
: ac would ti<ink that the Government
w< uld get pure brandy. Now, what l have
Just taated is uot pure brandy; f mil wry
certain of that. It i.ick-^ the grap*' juice, if
int wholly at least to a very great extent.
There may h* a little grape j>iice in it, but I
sern usiy doubt it. Now, for medicinal
purposes our California brandy can't be beat
short of the pure cognac California brandy
has not yet the fine flavor of the French
liquors, though it tastes much better than
the sample you have fust given me.
M But California brandy is pure, that'- Ui<>
main point. It is unalloyed and undoctored
sMfiinfif pure grapo wine, and as a medi
cine is all tb^t it need t>e.
"The best California brandy, merely as a
pleasing drink, is to-iJay far superior to
much of the cognac that is sold fa this
country. You know that cognac its*»lf is a
flavored bran ly. that is, as cognac is known
to the trade. Even the best of brandy
manulacturors give their goods the peculiar
flavor it possesses by artificial means.
Pure brandy known as cognac is not i:i tha
market. All commercial cognac is flavored.
There are, however, certain high-grade
French brandies which are absolutely pure,
hiich, for instance, as Fin Champagne, but'
the, taste of cognac is artificial.
"Why the Government should po abroad
for bad brandy when the pure stuff is to be
found in its own bonded warehouses 19 of
course a question for the < fucials to answer.
It's way past my learning."
Another brandy-dealer said: "That stuff
was made in some 'brick vineyard' in the
Eastern State*, II the Government pays
as much a* 50 cents a gallon for it, it in
b idly fooled. You can net a fair article of
California brandy for S3 to S4 a gallon. If
tbe Government pays $8 to £-1 ! a gallon for
that stuff, it is very badly swindled, that's
all." ___
3IEDJCAL TESTIJIOXY,
Doctors Who Declare the Government
Brandy Unfit to Prescribe.
"I would not prescribe that brandy for
a sick person," laid Dr. James Simpson,
after he had rubbed some of the Govern-
-lit liquid on his hands and smelled It aud
then taken a small taste of it from a glass.
"It is too high-proof— too Irritating to the
stomach. 1 very much doubt that it is man
ufactured from wine. There is too much
alcohol in it. It is too strong, rank and bit
ing. This Calitornla brandy that you have
liTe is far better. It is much safer to pre
scribe good California brandy to lick per
sons than it I tog imported liquor of
which you ire not sure."
Dr. U. F. MeXutt rubbed the Govern
ment's decoction on the palms of his uands,
Bmelled at.d taste.! it.
"Tliis is do! brandy," said be. "I detect
oil of cognac in it. [1 is impure, and too
excitinc and irritating for Internal use."
Then he tested the otht'r sample, that of
California brandy.
"That is brandy," he declared. "I would
rather give whisky to a sick man than poor
brandy, either French or American. Hut
when a stimulant is needed 1 generally give
a little good California brandy. It it cer
tainly preferable to tbe impure imported
article. Sometimes I put a little California
brandy Into some chanioajinH for ■ sick
person. It i* very good that way, and per
forms its office admirably. A* a rule, I
think you will find physicians very loath to
give French brandies to patients nowaday*.
The? are frightfully adulterated. Would I
prescribe such liquid is thai to a sick man?
No, Indeed. I always try to be on the safe
side, -„!, 1 asa as little strong «■• ■ .1 11 as
possible, bat there are many cases where it
is positively necessary.
"In such rases a physician should use the
very beet he can procure. He m i - 1 not If!
prejudice stand la his way. If California
brandy is better than the generality of
foreign brandies, then he should prescribe
California brandy."
Dr. R- Heverly Cole glanced at the label
on the Government's bottle.
"Purchased 150^-04," he read. "That's a
lie. The Government Isn't giving 23-year
old brandy to its soldiers. You needn't let
anybody try to deceive you about that. I
have had mean?, as an expert on wines and
brandies, of discovering hew much coufi
d-nco Ito be placed 10 Mich label*. This
st! in this bottle," ho said, after sampliog
the Government's stock, "is very high proof
and very strong. li tastes as if it had been
treated \n some way. I don't think the

RIVAL TONGS.
Faction* of the. Sney Sings Looking for
Blood.
Blood Is what tha rival factions of the
Suey Sing Tong highbinders are looking
for, and b'ood they will have.
During the past week the p dice have had
a hard time, keeping them from mortal com
bat, and although they had arrested several
of them for battery, the Chinesedetermined
to settle matter* in their own peculiar way.
Shortly after 8 o'clock last evening. Offi
cer Gouid, who was walking alona Jackson
street toward Soss alley, saw o^eChiuamau
shoot at another.
He immediately started to chase the
Shooter, and was joined by Officers Herring
and Dugan. The trio pursued the fleeing
Mongol up a rl ght of rickety stairs, but
when they reached the top Herring and
Dugan were forced to pick up theircomrade,
who was knocked down by a revolver
which had apparently been thrown from
the end of the hallway. Iv a few seconds
Gould retrained consciousness, and with the
other officers flew through the building.
They caught a Chinese, named Low Ah
Gow, who was very much excited, and who
was trying to unlock a door to a room in
order to escape.
When the police officers again reached
the street they wer« met by a Chinatown
guide named Hugo Ilubner.
liubuer was holding fast to a desperate
looking heathen, and told the officers that
when be heard the pistol shot ho saw the
Chinese running, and thinking that he had
done the shooting pursued and captured
him. This native of sunny Asia gave his
name as Kg Gin Sing, and said that ho was
a lattndryman at Berkeley, and tnat Low
Ah Gow had fired a shot at him. When
asked why he kept on running, be said he
was afraid of being killed as Sow had many
friends in his faction of the Suey Sing
Tongs, and that he was afraid of being
killed by them. He was locked up iv the
Chinatown police station a* a witness.
A few minutes after Low Ah Gow had
been charged with assault to murder and
with a deadly weapou for shooting at Kg
Gin Sing and throwing the pistol at Officer
Gould, .lei. tig Soon, a ranehhand, entered
the police station and, exhibiting a badly
powder-burned face, said that he was the
man who had been shot at. Xc Gin Sing
was brought out of the cell, und when Soon
saw him lie said that he was not the man
who had done the shooting, but when Low
An Gow was produced, he. positively Identi
fied him as the man who had fired a shot at
him. Ng Gin Sing also said Low did the
•booting.
The polios do not believe Soon's story,
and think that it is a scheme, to saddle the
affair on Low. The shooting shows that the
Suey Sings, who parted on account of a
blackmailing scheme, mean business, aud
several murders are likely to follow.

Happy Chief ani .lii.lße.
An unusual calm penetrated the old City
Hall yesterday. The Police courts held
short morning sessions and adjourned for
the day. Two of the happiest men in the
building were Chief of Police Crowley and
Judge Love. St. Patrick's day Is the anni
versary of their births and the celebration
has therefore a double interest for them.
The biK-hetrted Chief is til year* of age and
looks little older than lie did when first
elected nearly twenty years ago. Judge
Love is his junior by ten years, but is just
as cray.
The attaches of Department 2 of the Po
lice Court iucrensed the Judge's happiness
by presenting him with a large floral piece.
"»wkim on Trial.
The trial of Michael Hawkins, accused of
•eliding threatening letters to Mrs. Annie
Donahue, for the purpose of extorting
money, occupied the attention of Judge
Troott all day yesterday. The denial by
Hawkins that tie ever wrote tho letter com
plained of has compelled the prosecution to
introduce testimony to establish tho allega
tion that tho letters were written by tho
accused. Several of the accused man's
sisnaturo-t. beside* the testimony of m. my
witnesses familiar with his writing, were
introduced, also the testimoify of experts on
handwriting, to prove the signature. The
trial will continue to-day.
