It was evident from his manner that the now mayor is getting all the onjoymont out of the work that ad ministration building offers to an un hampered mind. As he puts it, ho "is just playing at being mayor." It has been suggested that the list as originally contemplated contained many of the members of the former Phelan board and some changes may result, but It is tho intention of the mayor to look In tho main to three sources for his available timber to tho Phelan board, to tho men who won their spurs in tho recent relief work, and, thirdly, to representatives of tho labor unions. "I have been busy tddoy going over some claims that have been pre sented to mo for my signature, and after referring to tho charter I find I may have to reject somo of them," Mayor Taylor said. As ho spoke he held In his hand the vellum bound autograph copy of the charter, on one of tho blank pages of which are tho signatures of tho fifteen members of tho board of freeholders which framed the organic law of the city. Dr. Taylor himself having written nearly every section. To another attempt at a question about the personnel of tho new board tho mayor raised his hand with the vellum-bound copy of the charter in a deprecating gesture, and Repeat ed his request not to be asked any questions until his now board was complete.

"Wo shall bring no proceedings to prohibit Dr. Taylor from acting as mayor," Frank Drew, of Schmitz' counsel, said yesterday, "but we think it will be necessary for him to mandamus tho treasurer before ho will pay any claims without the slgnaturo of Schmitz." The conten tlon of tho lawyers of Schmitz Is that tho section of the charter which pro vides forf tho removal of an official convicted of a felony Is not self- operative, and they are planning to make what fight they have left when this proceeding is Instituted. .The unusual spectacle of a chief executive of a city, who dwells In the rarifled atmosphere of principles tinged with an amiable Idealism, con tinues to excite the wondorment of the practical politicians and district leader.

When the two weeks v.ere up, it is said, some of the Jap anese had found work, but most of them had disappeared. It is sup posed that they got into the United States. The captain of tho Amiral Juare gulberry is reported to. have said that his company owned a lino running from France to Honolulu and Amer ica, and that contracts had been made by Japanese for the shipment of coolies mont'ily from Honolulu to America. The contract covers ten ships of that line MAIL BOATS TO FRISCO FROM AUSTRALIA TO BAY CITY IN FIFTEEN DAYS. Heavy Government Subsidy Steamship Company Is Pro vided Begin Service Soon. to San Francisco, July 24. The Union Steamship Company of New Zealand will run a fast line of boats, heavily subsidized by ttie Austra lian commonwealth and state gov ernments, from Australia to San Francisco. These boats will be fitted with Parsons English turbines and will have a speed of twenty knots. Among them will be the Maheno and Waklre, at presont run ning between Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand. The passage between this coast and Australia will occupy about fifteen days. The boats will bo most luxuriously furnished and equipped. , Arrangements are almost - com pleted for tho now, direct, swift and up-to-date mail and-cargo service be tween San Francisco and Australia. Ever since the discontinuance of tho Oceanic ' Steamship C6mpany's ser vice great dissatisfaction has been folt in Australia at the lack of proper communication with this city. Tho Australian state governments and leading commercial men are far from content with the Vancouver service alone to this coast, and great efforts have been made to bring tho various Australian states into line in support of tho projected new pro ject. DIsagreomnts between the states as to tho terminal port had been one leading factor In preventing arrange ments being made. Tho stringent requirements as to wages of seamen, accommodation and speed in order to secure tho government's subsidies also stood in the way of establishing the new service. By the British steamer Foreric, which arrived from Australia early yesterday morning, information 'la brought that most of the dlfllfflcultios have been settled, and the steamers will bo running In a few months.

' 01 HE CMS! SETTLERS LOSE HOLDINGS ADVERSE FINAL DECISION IS GIVEN BY V. S. Northern Pacific Railroad Given Lands Which People Have Settled Upon. Moscow, Idaho, July 24. A verv important final decision, adverse to Idaho settlers, has just been ren dered by Assistant Secretary Wood ruff of tho Interior department, Washington, D. C. This is in the long-drawn-out case of the state of Idaho vs. Steve Thorp te al, and affects over 150 settlers in township 44, ranges 2 and 3 east, and who settled on these lands after July 5, 1901. A man in touch with this case saya that tho loss to each one of these settlers will reach on an aver age $1000, or a grand total of $150, 000, besides tho lands. Thb is th ecase in which the state of Idaho dellnqulshed valuable school sections in the Coeur d'Aleno Indian reservation in order to use them as a base with which to attack the set tlers. That there Is intense feeling throughout this section of Idaho against the state officials implicated in this deal Is drawing it mildly. This case was part of the strenu ous contest in which the Northern Pacific railroad was a third party, and which, as a result of this decis ion and others of the same nature, has trained a crnnd nnrt: nf tlioco ! lands. T. W. Bartley, Moscow, attorney for the settlers, said: "I am sorry that the government of these United States and that of the state of Idaho are In the business of taking homes from actual settlers and giving them td the railroads. It Is certainly a sad commentary." The decision will work a great hardship on many of these settlers, most of whom have held their claims for six years, experiencing the hard ships incident to tho life of a home steader, spending their time and money, and In several cases going into debt. In the case of those well advanced in years and In very mod erate circumstances It is a heavy blow. PISTOL FOR ANDY CARNEGIE WOULD SECURE FROM PHILAN THROPIST LIBRARY. Simple Country Merchant Inno cently Makes Compact With Notorious Crook. London, July 24. An audacious attempt to coerce Andrew Carnegie out of the price of a free library has been frustrated by the Scotland Yard police. A corn merchant of Wurtzbhrg, Bavaria, arrived in Lon don some week? ago for-tho purpose of asking Carnegie personally for $2,500 for a library for that town. He divulged his intention to a com patriot whom' ho mot casually, and the man said he knew a way to make Carnegie "give up." The merchant did 'not 'know that tho man was a- notorious continental crook, and agreed that they go to Sklbo Castlo together. Meanwhile another acquaintance of the merchant, discovering tho character of the man, informed tho Scotland Yard authorities by letter, and thoy Immediately dispatched two detectives to Sklbo, and also telegraphed Carnegie to receive no strangers. In due time two visitors presented themsolves and Carnegie refused them audience. When tho detectives arrived tho crook decamped. It Is known that ho carried a revolver, and it is sup posed that he intended to terrify Carnegio into handing over the money. It is suspected that ho in tended, after tho merchant got tho money, to rob him on tho return that the merchant acted innocently throughout. PRIZES AAVARDED ELK LODGES.

HE EULOGIZES THE UNIONS "erms Culture and Wealth Enemies to Labor. WORKING MEN IMPOSED ON Dai-rows Heaps Abuse on the "Sslf- isli Rich" and the State Itself. Boise, July 21. Tro career of Frank Steunenberg, the murdered governor of Idaho, was discussed at length by Clarence Darrow this evening In the course of his plea In behalf of William D. Haywood. Jus tifying articles published in the Min ers' Magazine, tho official organ of, the Western Federation of Miners, the Chicago lawyer said the action of Steunenberg in asking for United States troops to quell a riot In tho Coeur d'Alenes and tho establish ment of martial law in 1899 was un justifiable and had properly stirred up an immense feeling In labor cir cles against tho governor. Darrow's argument, unfinished to night, devoloped into an appeal for labor as against capital and In a de nunciation of all opposedto unions. He held the audience startled and open-mouthed as one after another these sentiments poured from his mouth. His attack upon Orchard was expected, and In this respect ho fulfilled and surpassed tho limit of sensation. Three hours were given to Orchard, and it was only when vituperation, physical force and words were spent that Darrow turned upon J. H. Hawley, leading counsel, for the state, and tho Pin kerton detectives, for something on which to pour tho lesser volume of abuse. The stato of Idaho camo In for a largo part of Darrow's denunciation for the part it has played in tho prosecution. Culture, education and wealth each In turn wero de scribed as constituting a combina tion against which workingmen, un educated and poor, must ever bo op posed. Darrow sneered at universi ties as purveyors of culture "And what Is a cultured man?" ho cried, "but a cruel tyrant al ways." Reaching tho climax In his de nunciation, of his sympathy for the working class and hatred for tho rich, ho assailed the constitution of this country and cried: "Tho consti tution, It is hero only to destroy laws made for the benefit of the poor." Darrows defenso of labor unions and of union men was passionate and his eulogy of tho Western Fed eration eloquent. Lovingly ho touched on tho beauty of self sacri fice found In tho "strugglo for hu manity where only tho workingmen is found," and then, with bitterest sarcasm, his voice pitched to its highest noto and arms upralsod, ho heaped abuse upon tho selfish rich and upon the administration of tho stato of Idaho.
