THE GUARANTEE OF STREETS. Number AVill Expire xt Yenr Specl- , llcatlonn for Repair. The city engineer has prepared two sets cf specifications for the repair of improved streets cn which the guaranty has expired. The only two streets in this condition now are Pennsylvania from Washington to Ohio and Court from Pennsylvania to Delaware street. One set of specifications provides for bids to be submitted for a price per square yard of pavement actually laid, the amount to be laid to be marked off and measured by . the city engineer. The other set provides for a price per lineal foot of the pavement, the contractor to agree to keep the pavement In repair for one year and do ruch work as the engineer may direct. Cincinnati has adopted the latter plan and Washington uses the former. Resolutions were also prepared and adopted asking bids per square yard for repairing Pearl street from Pennsylvania to Illinois street, and Coburn from Madison avenue to East street. These are brick streets. Coburn and Pearl streets were paved by Robert Kennington and the guarantee period will not expire until Dec. 4. 1S9-5, and April 13. IS97, respectively. Since building these streets Kennington ha3 Ignored the requests of tha Board of Works to pl3ce them In repair, according to his contract, and they are now both in bad conditio.i. The board has decided that something must be done to them and ha decided to have them repaired and charge the expense to Kennington. It is not known whether Kennington will object ta this proceeding or not. but it has been intimated that he will contest the right of the city to order repairs which are made necessary by the poor quality of the" material used, after the material has been accepted anJ approved bv the city engineer. It Is understood that Kennington claims that the guarantee is for workmanship only and that the pissing of the material by the city engineer places it beyond the power of the Board of Works to order any of it replaced under the guarantee contained in the contract. This, however, is. not considered of any mament by me ooaru. The guarantees pf the "other streets will none expire thia year, but next year several will run out. Those to expire next year are as follows: Massachusetts avenue, ' Pennsylvania to Delaware, Oct. 5; Pennsylvania street. Ohio to New York, Nov. i', Shelby street, Nov. 16; Delaware street, Massachusetts avenue to St. Clair, Sept. 23; V Irginia avenue.

D. C. BRYAN ARRESTED

MAKES A 3HDXIGHT FIGHT TO KEEP FltOM GOIXG TO CHICAGO. Charjted vritu Fa lac Pretense Claims He Is In Custody of an Indiana Court. - About 10 o'clock last night Dr. David C. Bryan was arrested by Detectives Kinney and Richards and Detective Amgstein. of. Chicago, on a grand jury warrant from Chicago, on which Governor Matthews issued a requisition yesterday. He was walking along Meridian street near Monument Place when arrested. He was released about midnight, or rather was allowed to go to his home In company with Deputy Sheriff O'Day, who remained with him during the night. The whole proceeding has something peculiar about it which cannot be explained. This Is the same case on which last December a requisition was issued by the Governor of Illinois. At that time an officer came here from Chicago and asked the Governor to honor the requisition, but the Governor refused, it is stated. Yesterday Detective Amgtein came to the city with a certified copy of an indictment which has recently been returned by the Cook county grand Jury and the Governor then honored the requisition which was attached. The charges as contained in the indictment are substantially these: Dec. 1, 1S31, Dr. Bryan, who was then living In Chicago, represented to Mandley C. Hampton, of that city, that ho owned fourteen lots in Bryan's addition to the city of Indianapolis, located near the corner of Morris and Fourteenth streets (such a location would be impossible, there being no Morris street which crosses Fourteenth street.) These lots were represented to be worth $1,000 each, when in fact, so the indictment says, they were not worth more than $100 each. They weae also represented as having sewer, gas and water connection, but had neither. On the strength of these representations Dr. Bryan secured the sfgnature of Mandley C. Hampton to a bill of sale conveying a saloon and all Its fixtures and stotk. valued at $1,131. The Indictment orders the arrest of Dr. Bryan on the charge of obtaining a signature and goods by false pretenses. - Ah fiooii as Dr. Bryan was taken to the lall he telephoned to his father and brother., and they appeaed on the scene In a few moments. Plans were then laid to, prevent the jllllnola officer from, taking his prisoner to Chicago. Ex-Judge Harper was i?nt for. and acted as the attorney for Dr. Bryan. He decided to beRin habeas corpus . procedehiKs, and sent a carr'agc for Judge Harvey. Then began the peculiar part of the proceedings. The prisoner produced a certified copy of proceedings In the Shelby (Indiana) Circuit Court, which r.howed he had been arrested in that county on information for carrying concealed weapons and is at this time in the custody of that court, but at liberty under a bond and recognizance. This certified copy was conveniently near when it was needed, and on producing it Judge Harvey granted him a hearing, which was set for this morning, at 9 o'clock.This did not release him from the custody of Sheriff Womack, as the sheriff was required to produce him In court this mornr,y. There was then some talk of calling up Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court, who would have authority to hear the case under another statute and release (he prisoner, if he found the facts such aB to Justify it. The object was to avoid remaining in jail over night. It was finally decided to allow the prisoner to go home in custody of Deputy Sheriff O'Day, and the other proceedings were dropped. David C. Bryan, in speaking of the case last night, said he was not guilty of making' any false representations in the trade for the Chicago property.' He said the trade was made as charged, but that he did not represent hia property to be worth more than it really was worth. He also charges that at the time the officers were here last December an offer was made by which if he would pay $200 or give his father's note for the amount all proceedings would be dropped. When the officers left here, after failing in. their purpose, he claims they made threats to get him later, and denounces the entire matter as persecution. PROF. COIN AND HIS BOOK. EH I'crkini Explodes Several of the . Little Man's Financial Theories. Minneapolis Tribune. . 1 : "On my way through Chicago," said Eli Perkins, who went through St. Paul to the Pacific coast on the Northern Pacific yesterday. "I stepped into Professor Coin's school. This little man has been teaching a financial school in Chicago for a year. His teachings have finally beerv published in book form, but I could never understand what he was driving at." "Did you find out?" asked the Tribune. "Yes," said Eli. "I asked Coin point blank if he was for free coinage." "' 'Yes.' he said, 'that la what I teach. " 'Now, Coin,' I said, 'what do you mean by free coinage?' , . "Coin was silent. " 'Do you mean by frea coinage that you vant men .or governments to go on coining jiilver dollars as they do In China, Mexico, Japan, and Asia, not guaranteed by gold, vhere these dollars are only worth 47 cents the same as bullion?' 'No,' said Coin, I don't want that. We may aa well have bullion. Such money when coined is worth no more than commercial Dar silver. That wouldn't change matters.' 'Then you want It fixed so that any man can take 47 cents worth of silver to our mints (a. piece as big as cur dollar) and nave it stamped lOv) cents in golJ?" " 'Yes, taat is what 1 want, mat is what I tducn in my bootc. I want commercial oar silver remonetlzed. It has gone down way below 16 to 1; that Is, sixUen ounces of silver are reauy v.ortn, commercially, about half as inucn as one ounce o gold, vv e want ail ihs silver dug and in the mines put back Lie same as ine United States tioilar, lti to. 1. No beating around the bush - '' "Very well, I said. 'Now we can reason together. How many people in the world ure using debased silver, or 47-cent dollars?' - Well, 1,2!X).000,000. This - includes Mexico, Japan, South America, Africa, and Apia.' said Coin. , ' Kow many people have put gold under their coined silver':' I asked. "Why, sa 'd Coin, 'only iJOO.OOO.OOO. This includes the United Sttte. England, France, Germany, Austria and Italy.' " 'How much have these half-civilized 47-ccnt-dollar nations lost?' I asked. " 'Well,' said Coin, slowly, 'they have lost half their wealth. If a man was worth 1.X.'0 in Mexico or China, twenty years ago he i worth $417 now. That Is plain.' " 'Has any American. Englishman or Frenchman or .ny citizen of civilized nationslost anything? " 'No,' 3aid Coin, hanging down his head, 'they haven't lost a cent. Our good government has put a gold dollar under every dollar coined in America. They've done the "n.-rtf in England. Germany. Italy and France, too. and SW. 000,000 civilized people hnve escaped Iosf. "And the 1. 200,000, Oft') half-clvilized people have lost half their wealth, you say?' "'It would seem so," said Coin, scratching something behind hi ear. "'Now. Coin.' I said, 'when I went around the world last year, I saw Chinamen, and Japanese, and Mexicans, and Africans taking our American silver dollars at nar. They called them worth 100 cents in gold. Thev . patd tea freights from China with them, paid their passage to San Francisco with them, and the bank of Hon? Kong and Shanghai took them the same as greenbacks or gold. Do you think any one on erth has lost a cent handling American dollars T " 'N n no,' stammered Coin. " 'Now. Coin,' I said, 'look me In the ?ye and answer this . question.-If the United States had the free coinage you want that is. if every one could take a piece of silver 33 big as a Mexican dollar to our mint and get a dollar with gold under It what would be the result? 'Coin waa silent again. " 'Wouldn't the Mexicans, Hindoos and Chinese and the rest of the half-clvilized nations bring their commercial dollars, worth 47 cents, to our mint and get one dollar good as geld? Wouldn't 1.200,000.000 people unload the debased silver of the world on us? Wouldn't we be bankrupt in a year?" " 'I wasn't thinking of that, said Coin, trembling at the thought of such a disaster. I was thinking how much more money our own silver mine kins would make. Their wealth would be doubled, wouldn't yt? 'Yes. Coin. I said, 'and the price of 5 cent cotton would be doubled if the government would buy it at 10 cents. This government has no more right to boost up Bilver than it has to boost up corn and coal and cotton and iron by selling billions of bonds and giving those people the proceeds so that they could riake big profits until the pubic credit burst. The government Is ao respecter of persons. The

miner and farmer and manufacturer must stand alike. If they cannot afford to mine 7 cent silver then they should mine coal or zinc. If they could not afford to raise limitless 5-cent cotton then raise less cotton and more hogs and corn. " 'I see it all now, said Coin. My threa hundred page book confused me.' " 'Again. Coin,' I ask. 'Hasen't the country "been prosperous for' thirty yearsr "'Yes, very prosperous. . , 'And our government has bought and coined $419,000,000 worth of silver during that time, hasn't it.' ' 'Yes prosperous all the time. " 'Then after this i-rof-perous government changed the Democrats came in. How much silver did we buy?' ' . ""Why, only $7,000,000,' said Com. - ; "'And do you think that pitiful, little $7,000,000 which the goverr.nent coined into $14,000,000 brought hard times when - the buyirg and coining of $413.oCO.(o) made the nation prosperous sll the time?' . " 'O. dear, no!' said Coin, 'that s preposterous. " 'Then what did make the hard times? what made the English rush to get our gold?' . "Coin was knocked out again. "'III tell 5'ou. Coin. I Eaid, 'what made the British pounce upon our gold. At the money convention at Brussels all the civilized nations declared against free coinage, but each nation agreed to stand by its own coined silver and keep it as good as gold. " 'Did thev do it? asked Com. " 'Why, yes everv one of them: but some of our Idiots crawfished. They said we will pay our debts, mortgages and bonds in debased silver dollars, worth 4 cents. We will repudiate. Of course our government couldn't do that, but the English got frightened. Thev rushed our bonds in and demanded gold while they could get it. Do you blame them?' , . , , . . " 'No.' said Coin, 'they simply got frightened. I don't blame them. . "'Now, Coin,' I continued, 'our coined silver is all right. But if the Nation. buys it for double Its value, as you free coinage ?tnen want it tn. there Will come quick

bankruptcy. If the government should buy all the wheat at $1 when it if worth 0 cents it would soon be bankrupt. . " '1 see it now, Mr. Pe -klns,' said Coin, a ho imki rniwi down lis cheeks. 'I hav as e talked and befuddled the peopie. i nave itn them blindly into the ditch. , I have tried to teach what I did not know, and now I will close my school and go away and tnink. "The fallacy of Coin." said Eli. "is to be the platform of the next Democratic campaign, and 1 want the brainy patriots of the Nation to be prepared for it. Free coinage of silver may yet finish the destruction of our government besun by the free traders. "Coin replied: 'Yes, that's so. " FAST RUN BY THE COLUMBIA. The w CrnUer on Her "Way to Join Admiral Meade's Fleet. KINGSTON, Jamaica. March 27. -The United States steamship Columbia arrived here this evening, after a run of a little over four days from New ; York. The weather was pleasant and the run was agreeable throughout. From' Sandy Hook to Kingston the Columbia steamed under natural draught with only four boilers and the two eide screws. With this power she made an average speed of sixteen knots between San Salvador and Crooked island, and an average of seventeen and one-half knots from Point May, at the eastern end of Cuba, to Point Morant. at the eastern end of Jamaica. For one hour during the latter run the patent log recorded eighteen and one-half knots. The average speed from Sandy Hook to Point Morant was 13.6 knots. The speed of the Minneapolis, a sister ship of the Columbia, under the same proportion of her larger power, was fourteen and one-half knots, according to the newspapers, during her. recent run from New York' to Join Admiral Meade's squadron in the West Indies. The Minneapolis was slightly faster In her trial trip than the .Columbia. Point Mays! was passed about fifteen minutes before 4 o'clock on the morning of the 27th. It was there that the steamship Allianca had her recent adventure with the Spanish man-of-war Conde do Venedlto. Just before reaching Point Maysi the Columbia nearly ran down a small schooner that- was stealing along in th darkness without a light of any kind. She showed a flare-up light on deck Just in time to save herself, for at the speed at which the Columbia was going she would have cut through the schooner like a bullet through cheese. The nearness of the schooner to the troubled eastern end of Cuba and her running without lights makes her errand there suspicious, but her skipper may have been practicing economy, ' . Assistant Secretary McAdoo.. who ..made the trip on the Columbia, expresses himself as having enjoyed the trip and as being very well pleased with the ship. The health of the ship's company is good. Siiftnr Refineries Closed. NEW YORK, April 2. The Havemeyer & Elder sugar refinery in Brooklyn iis closed down temporarily. Secretary Searles, of the American Sugar Refining Company, would not state the reasons, but it is given out from reliable sources that the shutdown was due to overproduction and stagnation in trade. It was also stated that other refineries in the company would follow suit for the same reasons. PHILADELPHIA, April 2. The Spreckels sugar refinery closed down to-day for an Indefinite period.

OPPOSED BY CORBETT. The Champion Objects to Chans inff the Boxing: Rules. PITTSBURG, April 2. Jame3 J. Corbett, talking here to-day of the proposed changes in the boxing rules as advocated by the Olympic Club of New Orleans, declared, himself opposed to making four-minute rounds and two minutes rest. "There is no necessity,' said he, "for any changes, and none Is likely to be made. The present rules were adopted by universal consent and nothing short of that can change them. If the Olympic Club is allowed to make changes every club in the country can do the same thing, and there would be no standard for boxing tournaments. I am, opposed to a two-minute rest, because it would give a winded man too much chance to recuperate." WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES. Temperature Records Yesterday Morning; and Last Mght. C. F. R.

Archbishop Kaln said, in regard to the cutting down by Congress of appropriations for Catholic Indian schools: "I think the government has broken faith. The Catholics established Indian schools, to aid the Protestant denominations, at the request of t.'ie government, which promised to maintain the schools If the churches built them. Catholics built more schools and had more pupils than the others because our people gave mere money for the Indians than did the Protestants. Ox' course the Catholics were entitled to large appropriations, ard if they got $400,000 and others only $100,000. the reason was to be found in their devotion to the work and their liberality." TIIOtSAXD-VOlXn BLACK BASS. The Wuy They Caleb Them In the Waters of Southern California. New Y'ork Sun. . "I'll tell you how they go to work to fish for black bass out in Southern California." said a man who lives in San DUgo. "First, they bait a mb-mow hook with a bit of worm and catch a minnow. Then they bait the minnow on a larger hook and fish with it to capture smelt. When they get the smelt they take their heavy fishing tackle, place the smelt on the hook and go to angling for a halibut or a sea bass. After they get their halibut or sea bass, and the bigger either is the better, they bait It on a hook as big as a small anchor with only one fluke. This hook is attached to a ilne a quarter of an inch in diameter. When all Is ready the fisherman whirls the big hook with the halibut on it several time around hi head, and then gives it a toss out Into the water. Away it sails thirty or forty feet. "Say, for Instance, that this black fe3

FfgureTeH. Since the introduction of Codlivcr Oil into the treatment of consumption, the average life of patients has increased from, two to eight years. The number of cases cured in the early stages of the disease has multiplied, and physicians now assert that consumption can almost always be averted if good care and treatment are begun in time. Cod-liver Oil ought always to he a part of the treatment, and it should be taken in the form of Scott's Emulsion, which i3 palatable and does not derange digestion. Scott's Emulsion is, in every way superior to plain oil. Don't accept a substitute! Scolt t Bowne , N; Y. Ail Druggists. 50c.and$! I fishing Is being done from the long dock at San Diego. San Dlcgo bay is about th best place for this fishing along the coast, although the fish are plentiful at otuer places. After the baited end of the line Is cast the other end is coiled on tho dock, and an empty keg or quarter barrel, or something like that is tied to It. Then the fisherman gets in his rowboat, taking a harpoon wUh him and waits for a bite. Seema queer, here in the East, doesn't it, to go out after black bass? The trouble s, you see, that the black bars of those Southern Californian waters weight from 200 to 1,000 pounds, and it wouldn't be much use to go out after them with fly tackle and an eight-ounce rod. That's what I said. Thousand pounds. And it's true, every word of It. It isn't often one as large as that 1s taken, but they 'have been, and will b again. I helped kill one once that weighed CC0 pounds. It took over five hours to do it. but that was nothing extraordinary, for a 200-pounder will give his captors-a good three hours fight any time. "While these immense fish are true members of the black bass family, as ha been scientifically proved by naturalists, they are not called by that name In southern California. They are, for some reason

jewfish, and the man who has succeeded In conquering one has an exploit to talk about all the rest of his life, and he is always thereafter looked up to by his neighbors. If at any time you should bo In San Diego, especially some day early In summer, and should notice that th town was strangely quiet and that there were very few people in the streets, don't Imagine that the town has been deserted. Just over to the wharf. It will not be a mass meeting or anything of that kind you will see. Some one is getting ready, or is ready, to try . his luck on a Jewfish, and the populace, according to its custom, has gathered there to see and help. "Sometimes one of these mobster bass will be ready at hand when the halibut or sea bass bait goes Balling through the air and lands with a splash in the water, and will seize it immediately, but more frequently there is more or less of a wait for the bUf fish to bite. When he takes the bait, true to bass nature, away he goes with a rush. Instantly as many persons on the dock a can get a hold on the line seize It and slacken the tremendous fellow's 1 pace If they can. If ho doesn't happen to be too big they can generally fetch him to, but that Is a rare occurrence. LTsually the line whizzes through their fingers at a rate that makes more than one of those having hold of the line drop it quickly to save their hands from blistering. The shore end of tne line Is soon reached, and It Is dropped, for those handling it would be pulled head first off the dock If they held to it. Then the empty keg or barrel plumps overboard and the water chase Is on. The fishermen in the boat follow the barrel as it is towed swiftlv over the surface, and if the fish la a particularly large one it frequently happens that there will be a long, stern chase of the barrel before the boat overtakes it, that being the object of the men in the boat. .- , "The jewfish Is a deep sea fish, and for a long time keeps in the depths. The opposition of the empty kegs sinks the great hook deeper and deeper into the fish'a enormous jaws, and, bass-like, it finally comes tearing to the top and leaps out of the water, its great, fierce eyes glaring, its spines erect like a big row of sharp steel spikes, and its jaws apart enough, almost, to take in the pursuing boat. When the fishermen overtake the flying keg they seize it and then a novel fight ensues. Here and there over the bay the boat flies along In the wake of the jewfish. the spray flying from its prow, and a deep trail of foam tossing behind it. There is a good deal In, the skill of the men in the boat In handling the line in the shortening of the chase, but the best of these fishermen never expeet to tire a Jewfish out in less than three hours "At last there will be a. noticeable slackening in the speed of the boat. Then the slack of the line is quickly pulled taut and the distance between the fishermen and the prize grows less and less. The great bass has ceased Its leaps. The fishermen now know what to expect. They will find the monster lying near the surface apparently in a complete state of exhaustion. To the uninitiated, in fact, the fish might PPJ?ai dead. But the fishermen know better. The boat glides silently alongside the inert fish. The harpoon is thrown and sinks into the jewflsh's body. Instantly the enormous nsh rises half out of the water, turns, and shoots toward the bottom with amazing Fpeed, the heavy harpoon piercing its vitals. The strength and ferocity f this flsh is now shown to a wonderful degree. , For half an hour it will rush about, towing the boat and the fishermen with it as rapidly ever. But again the speed will slacken, and the fish comes to the surface gives a lew gasps and some wicked thrashings with Ita tali; and gives up the fight. AH that is to then is to tow the monster ashore, where the fishermen are greeted Dy vam spectators, who have been watching thar chase all these hours.' Cunadn's Lepers.
