THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, I895. ALL WATCHING JAPAN. Russian Newspapers Are Now Warning the Czar. THE DIPLOMATICDEFEAT. France Also Interested in Events in the Far East. MORE GOLD FOR THE MIKADO. An Additional Cash Indemnity for Relinquishing the Liao Tung Penlnsula. ST. PETERSBURG, Russra, May 7.— The following extracts from Russian news- papers will give an idea of the feeling in Russia regarding the latest developments in the far east. Commenting on Japan's acquiescence to the representations of the powers the Journal comments on “Japan’s wise decision.”” The Grashdanin warns Russia to consol- idate her position in the far east, claiming that Japan will never forgive her for her diplomatic defeat. PARIS, Frax May 7.—It is stated that France is n ing with Japan re- garding the recession of Formosa ard the Pescadore Islands to China. France in- sists that in the evént of Japan ho the islands, the strength of the Japanes garrisons and the number of warships will be limited. The press, generally speaking, is satis- fied with the course Japan adopted regard- ing the remonstrances of the powers as to the treaty of peace with China. Natur- ally, however, there area few dissenting voices. The Lanterne says: We shall be the dupes of Russia unless the agreement of the three powers also applies to the settlement of the Egyptian question, and Russia returns on the banks of the Nile the service she has just received from us. HONGKONG, Curxa, May 7.—Five thou- sand soldiers have started from Canton for Formosa to suppress the expected opposi- tion of the Black Flags to the occupation of that island by the Japanese, according to the terms of the treaty of peace between China and Japan. Many of the troops are unreliable and liable to join the Black Flags. LONDON, Exe., May 7.—The Times to- day says it is reported in consideration of | Japan's abandonment of Liao Tung Penin- | sula she will receive additional indemnity of £1,000,000. MADRID, Sears, May 7.—In the Cortes to-day the Duke of Tetuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that Spain was on the best terms with Japan, but neverthe- less the Government deemed it advisable to take certain steps to safeguard the Span- ish interests in the Philippine Islands. | JAPAN'S PROMPT MEASURES. | — | They Are Highly Commended by the Press of Europe. LONDON, Ex~a., M. —A dispatch to the Times from Par: ys surpassed the hope of the friends of peace and even the conditions arranged by Rus- sia, France and Germany. Like every power who knows its own mind, Japan is prompt in her resolutions and does not seem to desire to prolong the | controversy by the adoption of half | measures. A 8t. Petersburg dispatch to the Times says that Japan’s reply to the powers, re- | nouncing definite possession of the Liao Tung. peninsula, was received with sur- prise. Much attention is given to the | words ‘‘definite possession.” If they mean the temporary occupation | of the peninsula until the indemnity shall | have been paid, Japan's answer is not | likely to end the matter. While averting war, it will be only the beginning of a dip- lomatic campaign. | In a leader this morning the Times says: ‘We welcome Japan's decision with satis- faction as removing a danger to the peace of the far East. Had Japan allowed her- seli to become implicated in a struggle with Russia the peace of the world would have been jeopardized. TORTURE OF ARMENIANS. Forced by the Turks to Sign an Address of Thanlks to the Sultan. LONDON, Exc., May 7.—The Evening News to-day publishes advices from its correspondent at Kars, saying that 800 of the survivors of the recent massacre in Armenia, who returned to their homes under promise of protection from the | Turks, have been daily persecuted and | tortured at the hands of Turkish officials, | supported by gendarmes. For two months, it is added, the of- ficials have tried to force the refugees to sign an address of thanks to the Sultan, stating that they met with only kindness at -the hands of the troops, that all the troubles were caused by the Turkish raid- ersand the Sultan’s troops took no part | in the slaughter. Those refusing to sign are beaten, placed in chains and sus- pended for hours by the feet. The women were outraged, the children were shame- fully treated and the soldiers forced the women and girls to sign the address. e ROXALTY IN A WRECK.

CIUDAD DE MEXICO, Mex., May 7.— The Senate to-day voted approval of the settlement of the Guatemala-Mexico fron- tier row. Guatemalan Minister de Leon yesterday, while troops were forming on the Riforma drive for parade, attempted to drive along the line, but was stopped by the officer on guard.

Coroner Baldwin is much mystified over the body of Sydney Smith, a Scotch car- penter, which arrived in Qakland last even- ing from Rawlins, Wyo., where Smith died on April 26. The death certificate which accompanied the body stated that the de- ceased committed suicide by hanging in the Carbon County Jail, Wyo., but private telegrams which were received in this city and the appearance of the body throw grave doubts on the story. ‘When examined at the Morgue it was found that the skull was fractured and that a cut five inches long on the right side of the neck had been sewed up. Theface was much contused. On April 26 telegrams were received in Oakland that Smith, who was en route to that city, had been killed in a railroad collision. N. W.

Golden Gate Hall was decorated with flags and flowers last night, the occasion being the memorial services held by George H. Thomas Post, Grand Army of the Republic. The hall was filled with members of the post and of other posts and a larze number of ladies were also present. The service was commenced witha chant by Frank Coffin, George Rice, Daniel | Wade and Charles Parent Jr., comprising the Phymouth Quartet. During the evening the quartet sang “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “America.” Commander T. K. Stateler briefly an- nounced the purpose of the assembly, and, after prayer by the Rev. W. R. Goodwin, Miss Daisy Gilmore recited *“The Final Re: view of the. Union Army.” Past Post Commander Charles A. Sum- ner delivered the memorial on Rev. B. F. Crary, Rev. A. L. Rankin, J. B. Cox, A. L. Rockwell, J. E. Hughes, A. M. K. Storrie, Ewald Prinz, Uriah Wallace and John Werner, and reviewed the military career and civil life of each, The address of the evening was by Colonel James G. C. Lee, U. 8. A.

M. t0 6:10 P. .” What I did after that I don’t know, but I'll give it to you next day if you like. No record of the payment of $100. On December 12 I was all' right, attending to business—writing letters from 9:25 A..,” and the witness glanced at the court amiabiy. Captain Hill could not tell anything ositively about his doings except where it was recorded in the ginry. e had a regular method with Pierre Carrere. Up to June 18,1891, he had borrowed cash frem him occasionally, but on that date had paid him $600 for littie dinners and suppers and had then changed his “‘modus operandi,” as he called it. He had not borrowed He always gaid his bill in round figures. “If I owed him $250 and my bill on the next night was $40 for dinner I would give him a draft for §290,” he said. “If the whole amount came to $155 75 I would give him a draft for $160 and take the difference in small change.” He said he gave the drafts in some room of the Tortoni building, but could not identify it. He had no recollection of any- thing, but had implicit faith in his diary. “IfI was ‘off’ at any time,” he repeated, “my diary will show whether I was at 'l'ottvgni’s ornot. I must refresh my mem. ory. The court asked: ‘“May you not when on a spree have got money from the pro- prietor of the Tortoni and forgotten it?" The witness slapped his diary confi- dently. ““No, sir, not after June 18, 1891, when I changed my methods."” “Did {ou not send for meals to 117 O Farrell street?” asked the counsel, con- sulting the bill. There was another consultation with the diary, from which the witness emerged triumphant. “No, sir,”” he replied. “I have not set foot inside that house since April 1 of that year until now. Before that, yes.” T “Were you sober or not on February 20, 18927 The witness had not brought his diary for that year, and while it was being brought Pierre Carrere, the proprietor of the Tortoni, and Joseph La Costa, a waiter there in 1891, were examined. Pierre could not vouch for every item in his cashbook and the waiter got badly tnniled up in its dates and amounts. All the while Captain Hill sat and snorted easy defiance. “I would not care for the amount,” said he, “but they shall not impose on me just pecause I was ‘off.” T was too smart for them and had their depositions taken right away, before the books could be doc- tored. For myseif, my diary will see me through, but wild horses shall not extort from me the namesof my lady and gen- | tlemen friends during the evenings in question. I have a little pigeon-hole at my office which I call my ‘flym§l artillery,’ and into that I fire all my tender and implicating correspondence.” The ladies shall not suffer. That is the kind of a man I am.” Company last Saturday morning. Detective Cody, who was detailed on the case, has succeeded in finding witnesses who have positively identified them. Abra- ham Cohen, butcher, 919 Larkin street, identified Durkin as the man who came running round the corner of Sutter and Larkin streets at the time of the robbery. Cohen caught hold of him, but when he gulled out a revolver and threatened to low Cohen’s head off he let him go. A. J. Mead, 121 Post street, identified Lawler as the man he saw on Sutter street, near the telegraph office, a few minutes before the robbery. Themessenger-boy identified Lawler from his general appearance and Durkin from his face. Policeman Lynch saw them both on Jones and McAllister streets at 3:40 A. M. Saturday. Both de- fendants stated they were at home in bed all that night. Lawler has served several terms for vari- ous offenses. Durkin has been under ar- rest before, but has had the good luck never to be convicted. Just then, as the plaintiff concluded his case, & messenger bmugdht in_the missin, diary of 1892, but Judge Hunt said i would not be wanted now. “Let’s see though, just for luck, how T was on February 20,” exclaimed the de- fendant as he buried his nose in the book. “I wasn’t ‘off,’’’ he soon announced briefly. “I was dead ‘on’; paid a check and attended to_business all day. Itisno use their throwing away their cashbooks Into the shes " he added glesfally, *T and my diary have got them sure.” The court said it was merely a question of figures and amounts, and continued the case to allow a transcript of the testimony to be taken. The transcript would take money, but Defendant Hill said, *‘Hang the expense,” and the court thought the transcript had better be made to assist all parties in understanding the tortuous ac- counts. The Hawaiian Nation21l Band. The national band of the Hawaiian Islands St. Andrew’s Society," of which Smith was a member, was wired to know what disposition should be made of the body, as there was no St. Andrew’s Society in Raw- lins and the deceased had no funds, The telegram also stated that the Cale- donian Society of Rawlins refused to take charge of the body unless the expenses of burial were guaranteed. The authorities at Rawlins were notified to send the body to Oakland at the expense of the local society. When it arrived #t was found that the death certificate men- tioned was written on a Union Pacific letter-head. The Caledonian Society of Rawlins, which was written to regardin; the matter, answered saying that it ha not refused to take charge of the bedy. Mr. Leitch has not as yet been able to get authentic information regarding the mat- ter, but said last evening that he thought some foul work had been-going on. *‘Smith left his home and family in Scot- land about six weeks ago,”’ Leitch said, ‘“‘and started for this city, where he ex- Eected to find Alexander Thompson, whom e had known in the old country. He was then going north to go into business. He bad his ticket through to Oakland, and why or how he should get off at. Rawlins, & small town in Wyomini, and get into jail and then commit suicide, is more than can understand. If this is so, how did he get the wounds which alone would cause death and incapacitate him from the | exertion necessary to hang himself. - “His skull is badly fractured and the cut in the side of his neck is an awful wound. Of course we have no definite information regarding the manner of his death, but it is my impression that he was either hurt in a railroad accident which the company is anxious to keep quiet or that he has met with foul Yhy in the ears and been thrown off. The former theory is given colorn my mind by the fact that the death certifi- cate was written on paper on which was stamped the official railroad heading. “Smith was, I understand, a sober in- dustrious man, and not likely to get into trouble. It seems strange to me that we should get private telegrams that he had been killed in an accident, and also word that he had committed suicide. It isall very mysterious to me, but a Coroner’s autop:ty and inquest will be held to-mor- row, and we shall by that time get some response to the messages we have sent on for further information. Smith was 35 years old, and left a wife and two children in Scotland.” MANDOLIN AND GUITAR. The Neapolitan Club Concert Last Night Listened to by a Large Audience. Every seat in the large hall in the Young Men’s Christian Association building was occupied last evening when a vocal and in- strumental concert was given by the Nea- politan Mandolin and Guitar Club.

W. Hitchcock. MUST JOIN THEIR COMPACT. Southern Pacific Employes’ Benefit Assoclation Holds Its Annual Meeting. The Railway Ticket Agents' Passenger Association held a meeting yesterday at t}le Palace Hotel, and mutual congratula- tions were passed when the secretary an- nounced that Agent Stern of the Canadian Pacific had signed the agreement to keep up rates to the tariff set by the Western Passenger Association. _The only agent now standing alone on his dignity is D. W. Hitchcock, general agent of the Union Pacific Company’s passenger department in San Francisco. The date on which the agreement would be withdrawn, and agents could no longer sign, is Friday, May 10. After a second consideration the association decided to extend the time until May 15. This it was said was done to give Vice-President J. C. Stubbs, who is now in the East, an oppor- tunity to interview E. L. Lomax, general ansenger agent of the Union Pacific at maha. The object of the interview will be to lm}n‘ess on Lomax the importance of having his San Francisco agency united with other companies on rates, and to urge him to influence Hitchcock to join the association. The Southern Pacific Employes’ Mutual Benefit Association held its annual meet- ing Monday evening in the Central Pa- cific directors’ rooms. The secretary read a report showing that the society is in good financial condition. W. G. Curtis, E. B. Ryan, H. R. Judah, S. B. Doazne, B. J. Worthington, A. D. Sheppard, 1. N. Sherburne and G.'T. Klink were elected directors for the ensuing year. After the meeting adjourned the newly elected board of directors met and organ- ized, as follows: E.B. R resident; W. G. Curtis, vice-president; Mrs. Annie Cummings, secretary. In accordance with the by-laws the Southern Pacific Company was elected treasurer. The association was organized in 1880, and is made up of employes of the South- ern Pacific and all other lines affiliated with that company excepting those in the operating department whose occupation makes them®t0o undesirable a risk for a mutual insurance society. The total mem- bership is about 900." Only thirty-five members were lost by sympathizing with the strikers and refusing to work at their respective oceupations. There are five classes of death benefits in the association providing for $1000, $1500, $2000, $2500 and $3000. On a basis of $1000 a member joining at 30 years of age pays $12 a vear, under 35 years $15, between 36 and 43 $18, and between 44 and 49 years $24. No employes are permitted to join the "society after they pass their fiftieth ear, 2 Raymond & Whitcomb have changed the route of their excursions from Boston to California, having severed their connec- tion with the Fitchbuirg Railroad and gone into a business partnership with the Bos- ton and Albany Railroad on a contract to send all excursions over the latter line. The local significance of this move lies in the fact that excursionists coming to enjoy the climate of California will have a more direct and convenient route than formerly, ‘The trouble that led to the change occurred in a peculiar way. Rev. A. E. Wingate, ed- itor of the Educational Journal, made ar- rangements with the Fitchburg line for an excursion from Boston to the National Educational Association convention in Denver. ‘The understanding was that the Raymonds were to get part of the profits, but these the editor reserved for himself and the Fitchburg Company. The excur- sion men instantly rose on their dignity and looked out for new connections. JUMPED TO HIS DEATH. Arthur Higging Drowned at Bakers Beach While Searching for the Body of Stella Hughes. Arthur Higgins, 2551 Mission street, met with a very sudden death at Bakers Beach yesterday. He attempted to jump from one rock to another, missed his footing and fell into the water. The undertow carried him under and he was drowned before his companions could lend him any assistance. The deceased, accompanied by C. Kess- ler of 1912 Lexington avenue and O. E. Fairfield of 1924 Lexington avenue, went out to the Cliff House early yesterday to search for the remains of Miss Stella Hughes, They worked their way around to Bakers Beach, and there Higgins, who was a powerful swimmer, took off his clothes and swam out to some rocks where he thought the body might have caught in the eddy. He could not find any trace of the missing iu-} and climbed upon the rock to rest. Thinking he saw something a little further out he called to his companions and said he was going to jump. Kessler warned him not to make the attempt, but he persisted and failed. Fairfleld warned the life-saving station and a boat’s crew was sent out. Kessler procured a rope and managed to get Hig- gins ashore. Before the men from the sta- tion arrived, however, the young man was dead. For over three hours the men worked over his body in a vain attempt to restore animation and when they found all their efforts fruitless they sent for the Morgue wagon. Higgins was about 24 years old and un- married. When he left home in the morn- ing he was delermined to unravel the mystery of Miss Hughes’ disappearance, He was eager to search every nook and cranny and was far more venturesome than his companions. It was probably this latter fact that led to his death, The The Danee of Death Is constantly going on in nerve tissues and red bloed corpuscles, but & pow- erful nerve tonic and appetizer, such as Peruvian Bitters, constantly repairs the waste taking place and operates as an effective barrier against the Inroads n:" dheu:‘.“ Pen;vi-ln Bitters ur'. nota ic, an invigorating, pleasant 5 ink—better than V&I;ke'y“gr b'nndy—- which restore the vital functions to their normal, healthy condition, and are a nat- ural antidote for loss of appetite, tired feeling, depressed spirits and kindred aliments.
