San Francisco, Sept. 20. By the Asso ciated Press. Acting on information given by Consul Bee to United States Attorney Carey, Judge Hoffman today remanded to the custody of the marshal, thirteen Chinese women who had been laLded from the China steamship Belgic on writs of habeas corpus, and had been released on bonds. Consul Bee said that he had dis covered that the bonds were worthless, and he asserted that a syndicate exists in Chinatown, formed with the avowed intention of facilitating the importation of human chattels by supplying bondsmen whenever required.

He said this company has re ceived some attention from the Consulate, and measures will be taken to break it up forthwith. dresbach's disgruntled creditors. A meeting of Call Board creditors of William Dresbach and John Rosenfeld was held at the rooms of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. Its chief object was to get the creditors of Dresbach and Rosenfeld to combine and bring suit against the Nevada Bank for the amount of their losses on wheat. G.

W. McNear.oneof the largest creditors, refused to join issue with the others in this proposed litigation. He said that if he had suits to bring he would bring them himself. There was no unanimity among tne others, and no action was faiken in the matter. A motion was made that a committee be appointed to confer with Charles B.

Stone. assignee of William Dref bach, and see that the assets of that operator aud those of John Rosenfeld were properly realized on. Alfred Bannister, Lewis McGlauflin and Thomas Watson were appointed on this committee. The meeting then adjourned. A SAN DIEGO CONVICT ESCAPES.

William Lone was sentenced to San Quentin for twelve years in San Diego last week. He was turned over to the engineer of the steamship San la Rosa, who was appointed as a deputy sheriff temporarily to escort Long to San Quentin. When the Santa Rosa docked this morning at Broadway wharf, Long was turned over to the steward, who was commissioned to take him across the bay. When the two had emerged from the dock, Long, handicapped as he was, broke away from his custodian and dodged around a corner out of sight. The steward irave chase, but the nrisnnpr succeeded in eluding him.

The matter was reported to the police, who are now engaged in looking for the runaway. MOKE CROOKEDNESS. In the investigation of affairs of the cu3- tum-house the management of tbe Chinese business under the old regime before Judge Hoffman today, ex-Customs Inspector Boyd made a serious charge against ex-Deputy Collector W. Ford Thomas, stating that he had in many instances scratched the word "canceled" from the backs of red return certificates in pursuance to orders from Thomas. Boyd could not say what became of the certificates after the word was removed, and did not know of any instance of their being sold in Chinatown, but the testimony of ex-Inspector Ciprica showed that such certificates had been afterward preseuted.

SUING FOR A MINE. Suit was begun in the United States Cir cuit Court today by the Amador Medean Gold Mining Company, of New York, to obtain possession of valuable mining pron-erty in Amador county.

When fully rested, the famous jumper would leisurely walk around the hill to his home, where he recuperated his ener gies for another jump some other day. The Increase of Incorporated Towns. The wonderful growth and develop ment of Southern California is fully evidenced and positively demonstrated by the increase of incorporated towns. The fact that a community desires to assume the dignity of municipal being is proof positive that that community has confidence in itself and faith in its future.

Santa Ana Valley is a stretch of country beautiful and fertile, and if the rage for incorporation Keeps on, but a few years will elapse before it will be dotted from end to end with incorporated towns. Santa Ana is already crowned with the municipal bays and Anaheim and Orange are making preparations for like honors. What has been said of the Santa Ana Valley may be repeated in reference to the San JosiS Valley. Fully confident of its future, Pomona is about to take on municipal honors, and The Times ventures to predict that within a decade of years the San Jose" Valley will bristle with the spires aud towers of incorporated towns clustered around the pretty little city of Pomona. Long Beach is also preparing to don the municipal robe which, when Port San Pedro comes to the front, will give-us three cities-bv-the-sea; Santa Monica being already enrolled.

Within about year three towns were incor porated in this county Santa Ana, Santa Monica and Pasadena. Therefore, in the matter of incorporated cities, Los Angeles outstrips any other cojnty in the State, we now nave four cities. Pomona, which is on the eve of incorporation, will be the fifth. The San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys are rapidly coming to the front. Each contains towns whose prosperity andjgrowth must shortly lead them to municipal importance.

Los Angeles county is not only destined to become heavily populated, but it is to be a county thickly studded with growing and prosperous cities. California's March to the Rendezvous. Yesterday California's contingent of the hero host that once saved not only the Nation, but the pith and body of true liberty, started upon its march across the continent to meet the com rades of other days at St. Louis, the national rendezvous. To the reflective mind those yearly gatherings of the Nation's heroes possess an interest tender, pathetic and grand.

Not the grandeur of Roman pageantry, nor the glare and glitter of triumph for sake of triumph; but the calm, passionless and enduring grandeur that flows from a conscious knowledge of duty due and duty done. The reunions of the Grand Army of the Republic possess no parallel in the annals of history. Without a shadow of ill-feeling for the men they faced upon the field of death, but rather with the hand of brotherhood, nerved by a chivalrous friendship, extended toward them, the Grand Army reassembles year after year to fraternize with those who were once foes and to greet each other. Each succeeding year the member ship of the Grand Army grows less. It is now a fading host of sturdy gray- beards, and as each succeeding year sheds its crop of ripened humanity, the harvest gathered from the ranks of the Grand Army is necessarily large and must necessarily increase from year to year, until the whole host have crossed the line.

Crossed to reassemble in that sublime and awful reunion that knows no ending the reunion in which the heroes of the North and the heroes of tbe South shall forever dwell in peace and love. Where soldiers all and brotherly, 1 the sunshine of eternity They'll rear the tents of life anew. While all is apparently quiet at present in Chinatown, and the mer chants say there is no intention of raising any trouble, it is certain that the better class of Chinamen have made up their minds to pay no more tribute to the high-binders for their so-called protection. The highbinders have made another proposition to the merchants, to the effect that in addition to the protection they will give to the persons of their patrons, if the ad vance in the terms is acceded to they will also watch over the interests of their customers by protesting their property from thieves or firebugs. It is just possible that this new proposi tion will have the effect of persuading those who were tiring of the heavy as sessments they were compelled to pay the high-binders, to continue to make their payments regularly as before, but until further word is heard from some of the principal men in San Francisco nothing definite will be done.

Both sides are willing to make concessions, but the matter has been referred to the San Francisco heads of the companies, and their decision will be final. Tha information was given a Times reporter by one of the dealers in firearms and ammunition in this city, that dur ing the past few days there has been quite a marked increase in the demand among the Chinamen for pistols, knives and ammunition. One resident of Chinatown purchasing at one time seven Colt's pocket-size pistols of forty-one calibre, with the same num bcr of boxes of cartridges to fit the re volvers. So that it is evident that in time of peace they are preparing for war. Train robbed on the Texas and Pacific road and 130,000 taken.

The Situation in New York. The leaders of the Henry George Labor Party of New York are evidently playing the game of politics for keeps.

Mass meetings are held nightly all over the city of New York. Through the columns of his paper the Standard George calls for subscriptions to "the campaign fund," and, according to the Standard, the sinews of war are coming in right smart. The boss Democrats are amav.ed at the spirit and enthusiasm displayed, and sadly disheartened by the wholesale desertions from their fold. The Georgites are full of energy and confidence. They claim to be able to poll above 100,000 votes in the city, Even Democratic politicians concede them 50,000 to 70,000 votes.

Democrats, however, bolster their falling hopes by pretending to rely upon the rift which, they say, the Prohibi tion movement will cause in the ranks of the Republican party. On the other hand, the New 1 ork Republicans feel fully satisfied with the situation. They say that tbe Pro hibitionists have already developed all the Republican strength that their organization and the sentiment upon which it rests is capable of drawing, and that whatever accession of strength it now receives must come from Demo cratic sources. A Historian Among Us. The Times had a pleasant call last evening from Edwin W.

Fowler, general manager of Bancroft's histories. Mr. Fowler proposes to take up his headquarters in Los Angeles (if he can obtain accommodations), and use this as a basis of operations in compiling data for a history of Southern California, embracing the counties of San Diego, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara. He ex- pects to devote six months to this work of compilation, but when the volume shall be forthcoming he cannot now state. The Bancroft histories have not thus far treated specifically of Southern California, and the work in preparation will be very valuable for this section.

Every facility should be extended Mr. Fowler for the collection of historical data, and facts bearing on the resources, indus tries and general status of the country. Mr. Fowler has already visited the peninsula of Lower California, and expresses a favorable opinion of the settlement and development of that country, and especially of Ensenada. It may be noted, in passing, that this gentleman, who is expected, from his profession, to take a candid and con servative view of things, and who has enjoyed unusual facilities for gaining information, says he would not be surprised to see 100,000 visitors in Los Angeles within the next three months.

There never before was such a Cali fornia fever abroad in the land not even in the days of '40. Mr. Fowler will bo welcomed in Los Angeles and speeded in his good work. The Prohibition Reformer. Ex-Gov.

John P. St. John, beincr in terviewed by a Times reporter, de clares tnat the prohibition party is stronger than ever before, and that it will nut its Abraham Lincoln in the White House in 1892. Mr. St.

John announces his intention to be the nominee of the party next year, but he modestly refrains from intimatinir that he is the Abraham Lincoln of the next campaign. It is just possible that Mr. St. John is too sanguine. The Republican party as the great party of reform and good government, is moving as rapidly as the best sentiment of the times requires.

Whatever is practical and advisable in the restriction and control of the liquor traffic whatever is con sistent with the methods of a repub lican form of government it will adopt and carry forward to success, The fanatics who propose impossible things will have their day, and then fade out of sight and memory. The truth is, with all due respect to Mr. St. John, the average Prohibition leader is the Don Quixote of political reform. Reformers in other fields are found from time to time bringing forward some practical methods of softening or obliterating the ills of which they com bot the Prohibition reformer never.

He simply paints and pictures tbe deformity of which be treats and demands its total Annihilation. Ignoring the important fact that the Progress of the Grand Army Excursionists.

Death of a Young Naval Officer After Escaping Drowning. Astokia Sept.

20. The United States Government surveying steamer McArthur, which has been surveying Shoal Water bay arrived this morning with her flag at half mast, and bearing the body of Ensign N. S. Moseley. He and a draughtsman started ashore in a sail boat on Sunday to get mail at Oystervllle.

When halfway across a heavy squall struck the boat, which capsized, throwing the occupants into the water. They clung to the boat and were exposed in the ice-cold water nearly four hours. Finally the two men righted the boat and managed to reach shore in an exhausted condition, and were conveyed to the steamer McArthur. Ensign Moseley soon after was attacked with a violent conges tive chill and died in a short time. The deceased was aged 24.

He leaves a wife and child at Stockton, Cal. The remains will be embalmed and -sent to San Francisco by the next steamer. STANFORD AND V1LLAHD. Two Men Whom Oregonians Propose to Honor.

Chicago, Sept. 20. By the Associated Press. Justice Samuel Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, the Judge to whom It is rumored the condemned Anarchists proposed to present their case, was interviewed regarding the matter today. "Such a case," said he, "is usually taken before one of the Justices, and as a rule before the Justice of the District.

In this case Justice Harlan should be seen. Ho is not in Chicago now, but in Washington, where he will be for some time. It is very rare, Indeed, that the Supreme Court ever touches a case decided by a State court. The Anarchists, to get their cases before the Supreme Court must prove that the constitutional rights of the prisoners, or the Federal laws, were broken In the trial." "Do you think they were?" "I don't know. 1 can't say." "Would the fact that it is a case of national importance make any difference in getting it before the Supreme Court?" "No, only its consequences are of more than national importance.

I consider tbe case the most important tried in this country for years. These fellows seem to have made Chicago their headquarters. They have made more friends here than anywhere else in the country." The Justice goes from Keokuk to St Louis, where he holds court POLITICAL. Ticket and Platform of the Bay State Democracy.
