He also| made a new record of 126 feet in the stand- two firsts’ and one d undoubtedly have taken another first had he been 1n first- class condition. His victory over Edgrenin putt the teen-pound shot was a sur- prise to every one, as Edgren is a giant in physique alongside Koch. Koch won the half-mile run with the greatest of ease, breaking his own record and doing the distance in His high jump would have been better if his side had not stili pained him. Dozier carried off the homors in this event. The 120-yards hurdle was the prettiest event of the day, Dyerand Torrey stepping and jumping in perfect unicon and seem- ing more like two machines than human beings. At the finish ‘Torrey dropped behind a little, virtually conceding the honors to Dyer, In the rd dash Scoggins won over Barnes in the fast time of 23 1-5 seconds, but would have been unable to run an- other yard, as be was completely winded at the finish. C. H.Woolsey covered himself with glory in the running broad jump, doing 21 feet | inches with ease, Dozier bein cond feet 1014 inches to his credit. Denver had the twg-mile bicycle race all its own way, as Dozier, California’s only entry, was withdrawn, Denver also secured 5 and 2 in the pole vault after a d fight. This was about the first pole vaulting the Californians had ever tried, and their show- ing was remarkably good. “Casifornia Bill” Merwin came on the grounds as usual, i. e., thirty seconds ahead of the call, and wobbled outa winner in the one-mile walk. He could easily have dis- tanced Meredith, Denver’s crack, but slowed down ‘‘for company’s sake,” as he expressed it. H. B. Torry, the only California entry in the 440-yard dash, won against three of Denver’s best raen in 55 1-5. During the intermi ns between the events S. A. Swanbrough of Denver did some record-smashing that will open the eyes of Eastern cracks of the wheel. His first success was the quarter of a mile, standing start, paced by tandem, which he made in 31 1-5, breaking the world’s record. His second victory was the breaking of the world’s three-mile unpaced, standing start, record, Swanbrough going the distance in 7 min, sec. The best previous record was 7:41 3-5. W. W. Hamilton of the Denver Wheel- men’s Club made a new State record for one mile, paced with fiying start, making it in 25. Pippin and Hughes of Denver estab- Jished a mew world’s tandem one mile class A record. with flying start, going the distance in 2:03 1-5. The best previous record was 2:07. To-night the California athletes are jubi- lant over their victories. Allof themen are in the best of health and spirits, and will start for their far western slopes at 2:40 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. Not an accident occured to the men of either team:. At 8 r. . the Denver club gave a reception in honor of their vic- torions guests and a banquet, at which toasts were drunk to the future prosperity of the athletes in other and more glorious contests.

How the Calif ans Blotted Out the Chicago Defeat, DENVER, Coro., June 22.—Here in the | silver city the sturdy little party of Cali- fornia athletes to-day made their last stand for the blue and gold. They were anxious | to blot out their Chicago defeat with an overwhelming victory, and they were stimulated by the thought of gratifying xpectant loved ones soon to be seen in California. All the strength of Colorado was arrayed inst them. The Denver team both from its own membersand from the universities of Colorado, and many of | the D. A. C. men had upheld the blue (Yale) or the orange (Princton) upon | tern fields. The California team, though numerically | weaker, is physically stronger than it was | six weeks.ago. After the games the men formed a permanent club in the interest of the U. C. athletes. This evening they were entertained by the Denver Athletic Club. To-morrow afternoon the team leaves for California WEL OME FOR TRE VICTORS. Royal Reception to Be Given by Univer- | sity Men and Athletes. Preparations are being made to give the victorions university athletesa royal wel- ! come home. The matter is in charge of a committee composed of Captain Hancock of the Olympic Club’s crack team, A. F. Morrison, president, and J. B. Reinstein, ex-president of the University Alumni As- sociation, and W. N. Friend, president of the Associated Students of the university. It not to be a university affair alone, but an opportunity is to be given all those interested in athletics to express their in- terest in and good will toward the boys who have done so much honor to the youth of California. The team will return on Wednesday and in the evening will be escorted to this side from Oakland by the Reliance and Acme Athletic clubs. They will reach the foot of Market street at 7:30 o’clock and will be met by members of the Olympic Club, alumni of the university and all the un- dergraduates who are in tbe vicinity or | can get here. All others who are interested in athletics, including the wheelmen, are invited to join in the demonstration. The members of the team will be mounted on a coach and, with a band, will be escorted up to the Olympic Club rooms, where a recep- tion will be held and congratulations will be in order. Professor George C. Edwards, the father of track athletics at the university, and but for whose good work the team would not bave gone East, is very proud of his boys. ““They are entitled to the thanks of all athletes in California,” he said yesterday, “for what they have done will do more than anything that has happened to de- velop an enthusiasm for track athletics. But, much more than that, they are enti- tled to the thanks of the whole State for having shown to the rest of the country of what stuff the young men of California are made.”’ win, California, first: E.

Come Back and Lead the Party. | rco LONDON, ight, 1895, v the New York Times.] ExG., June 22.—These are | truly revolutionary times. It has long | | been an article of faith in British politics | complacently held by everybody that THEY WILL HOLD ON. of Campbell-Bannerman’s defeat night. The burden of the conviction in Liberal circles to-night is that the Ministry will | hold on and try to get a vote of confidence Monday, when there will be a decisive trial of strength. Nobody knows clearly what | happened in the two Cabinet councils to- day, but this is the notion that leaked out. My own feelings are that there will bea ! break-up next week. All the Liberal | papers are making a great hullaballoo about Jast night’s adverse vote having been achieved by a trick, and some even impute personal dishonesty to Mr. Bal- four, but these tales are valueless. It was not the opposition which won the victory, but the Liberals that lost it. Mr. last ! | Balfour’s face was the color of a sheet when it was announced. It was the last thing | that he desired. The truth is that the Tnglish people are nervous at this moment about their army, especially about their stores and ammunition, since cordite has been adopted, and the House of Commons reaily reflected this feeling in its vote. The most curious thing in to-night’s cloud of rumors is the story that Mr. Glad- | stone is to come back and lead the party in the coming fight. It is not true, but itisa | touching proof of the despair in which Lord Rosebery's mismanagement has plunred the party. Whatever happens, ana if there be a dissolution now, the Liberals will meet a cruel beating. Every- body Js protesting that Lord Rosebery must not come back again. The Duke of Cambridge’s offer to retire | next October seemed on its announcement | | | WILLIAM E. GLANDSTONE, ENGLAND'S GRAND OLD W. nothing important could possibly happen in Ascot week. We have changed all that. The week now closed has beeh one | sustained succession of wild political ex- turbulence, which opened promptly Mon- day morning by the spectacle of the lrish publicly forcing the Government to back | out of their Cromwell statue project. which created enough bad blood between them and the rank and file of the Liberals to have Jasted for the rest of the session had not larger things intervened. Then came like a thunderbolt the Lon- don Times announcement that Mr. Glad- stone had withdrawn his pair, which was represented as meaning that he had cut | loose from the support of Lord Rosebery’s government. Hardly the Grand Old Man’s retirement from the leadership it- self gave his party such-a shock. The thing has been minimized now by denials and explanations to less formidable pro- portions where people. can view it as merely one of Mr. Gladstone’s character- istic involved mystifications, which may mean any one of a dozen things all the same. No one finds any meaning in it of warm Joyalty to Lord Rosebery and his ill- starred fortunes. But this, too, is brushed to one side by the practical and somewhat brutal episode citement, sensational political events and VRN tc be a most gracious and important. piece of news. It ceased to be so important when the existence of the Government itself was thrown into the baiancea couple of hours later. If the Tories are to come into power the Duke’s retirement will mean nothing more than the Duke of Con- naught’s succession to the post and an in- definite | postponement of the army re- forms which all progressive Britons have sodeeply at heart, There is more than a chance that the Parnellites will win the vacaney in Cork. The Nationalist Committee's selection of J. F. Xavier O’Brien as'its candidate is the worst possible. He is a blundering old fe/low, whose folly. about the Glad- | stone and Tweedmouth checks cost the | varty so heavily in prestige, and if the | Parnellites nominate Joseph Noian, backed by the money of the Cork brewers, it is believed that he will win the seat. ! From every external point of view the Kaiser's opening of the Baltig' canal has been a shining and complete success. For such a huge and complicated programme there was a remarkable absence of shps and mischances. His speeches were, as a whole, the best that he has made in his life, and in par- Continued on Third Page. TROUBLE WITH JAPS, American Missionaries Are Driven Out of Kumamoto. A DELEGATION IS SENT To Make an Investigation of the Opposition to Chris- tianity. FOREIGNERS COMPELLFD TO GO. Homes and Lands of the Civilizers Are Claimed by the Natives. NEW YORK, N.Y., June 22.—In a few weeks a deputation, consisting of officers of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and others appointed by the board for the purpose, will sail for Japan, with full authority to examine into the condition of the missions which that organization has maintained there for many years. 5 Disquieting reports of the state of affairs existing in Japan among the native Chris- tians with relation to the missionaries, missions and schools of the American board have been prevalent for the last two or three years, and have recently been the cause of much anxiety to the friends of missionary work in that country. in con- sequence, the work there has suffered to some extent, and, itis asserted, will con- tinue to suffer until the elements of dis- cord which have arisen—either real or fancied—have been allayed. Tt is with the view of obtaining the exact facts in the case and in order that the officers of the American board may be correctly advised as to the nature of the situation in Japan that it has been de- cided to send a deputation to institute a thorough inguiry. The deputation con- sists of William P. Ellison of the pruden- tial committee, the Rev. Dr. James L. Bar- ton, one of the foreign secretaries of the board; Rev. Dr. James G. Johnson, pastor of the New England Congregational Church, Chicago, and the Rev. Dr. A. H. Bradford of Montclair, N. J. The difficulty existing among the Jap- anese Christians with relation to the mis- sionaries has arisen from various causes, as it was explained by a prominent minister vesterday, the chief one being the inde- pendent feeling among the former which has prompted a desire to get rid of the lat- terand to ‘“run the machine alone.” In one instance quoted in a regent report to ‘tiie board all the missionaries in the Ku- hamoto - station had their passports re- turned to them and were told to vacate the houses the board had built for them. “For more than a year,” the report con- tinues, “there has beem trouble. between the missionaries and the principal of the boys' school in Kumamoto. Our mission- aries were located there at the -earnest re- quest of the Christians and houses were erected for them there just as in other sta- tions. *‘Since Kumamoto is not an open port foreigners cannot live there without being in the employ of the Japanese, nor can they hold any real estate save in the name of a Japanese. Our missionaries were em- ployed in a. Christian school and our homes and Jands were held by the officers of the school. The present principal of the school has become very pronounced in his liberal views, widely differing from the missionaries. Co-operation in such work gradually became more and more difficult. “‘At the same time a cry against the for- eigners living in the interior in houses held in private names was loudly raised throughout the country, so that the Jap- anese who held such property everywhere naturally desired to be relieved from the odium of helping foreigners in evading the treaty obligations. - *To make a long story short the princi- P.

He requested our mission at last to recall its teachers, and when this was refused he returned them their passports, declining to be any longer re- sponsible for their presence in Kumamoto. Having no Japanese employer the mis- sionaries are compelled to withdraw to the open ports of Nagasaki and Osaka.’’ EAST AND WEST BENEFITED. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 22.—The Eastern press all sing the praise of the CALL to-day in its great stroke of se- curing its own leased wire from Chicago with the United Press, saying that it shows great enterprise in Western jour- nalism and at the same time giving to the East a more extended and better knowl- edge of what goes on in the Western country. So your power for dissemina- ting good things for the Western States and Territories will be herplded with delight, and California will now be known in the East through its dis- patches. ISAAC TRUMBO. CAPTURE OF Arrested in the Act of Making a Deal With a Supposed Farmer. CHICAGO, InL., June 22.—This after- noon Postoffice Inspector Stuart and sev- eral assistants arrested Patrick Gerin, Robert Evans, Charles Burch and Law- rence Guinan at the Hotel Sterling on Michigan avenue on the charge of having sent large numbers of ‘“‘green goods’ cir- culars through the mails during the past two weeks. The party was caught while making a deal with Inspector Mercer, who was supposed to be an Iowa farmer with $3000, to exchange his money for green goods. Me was aided by a friend, Walter J. Wilson of Corning, Iowa, who had re- ceived one of the circulars. While the prisoners were being taken to the station, Gerin tried to pass a package to confeder- ates, but Inspector Christian drove them away at the point of his revolver. All were committed to jail. INJURY TO THE ST, LOUS, Partially Disabled by an Acci- dent to the Steering Ap- paratus. SWINDLERS. Gulded on by Its Twin Screws Until the Sandy Hook Lighthouse Was Reached. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 22.—The new American liner 8t. Louis, which arrived ta-day, met with an accident last Tuesday, June 18, when in about lat. 46.58, long. 55.58. Some part of the steering apparatus cracked and it was necessary to use it with the utmost caution and discretion. Con- sequently the vessel was steered with her twin screws as far as practicable until the lightship was reached, when the rudder was again called into play. As the steamer passed Sandy Hook she signaled for tugs to meet her. The tugs Evarts and Pulver, the former with the representatives of the. American line on board, ran alongside the ship at quaran- tine and prepared to help her to the pier. The news of the death of Director Hous- ton was received as the health officer cleared her and her flags were at once | halfmasted. The ship’s runs were as follows: July 16, 431; 17th, 464; 18th, 4 19th, 429; 20th, 421: 21st, 436; 22d, 303, and 67 to Sandy Hook. The total distance traveled was 3123 miles and the time of passage 7 days and 11 hours. Captain Randle was seen by a United Press reporter at Quarantine. He stated that the steering gear broke down last Tuesday, but firmly declined any further particulars. —— PECK . ¥OR PRESIDENT. His Friends Have Started a Boom for Him in the West. TOPEKA, Kaxs., June 22.—The friends of General Solicitor George R. Peck of the Santa Fe have started a movement to make him a candidate for the Republican nomination for President. James R. Hollowell, a prominent Kansas leader, met by appointment here to-day a number of his friends, who believe Peck would be a strong candidate in the West. Hollowell left for Chicago to meet and confer with Illinois . Republicans about the possible candidacy. Hollowell has just returned from Arkansas, where he conferred with the Republican leaders of that State. It is understood that Richard Kerensof Mis- souri, T. E. Rosewater of Nebraska and 8. B. Elkins of West Virginia are fayorable to Peck.” The men who are advocating Peck say he is the only man who can carry the Kansas delegation for the Republicans, and that as Illinois is in the doubtful column, Peck’s nomination would insure both for the Republicans. ——— SEARCH FOR BANK-ROBBERS.

But- ler, cashier of the.robbed Rainy Lake City Bank, is here and offers $500 reward for the detection of the robbers. The deed was done at night. A man named Billings, claiming to ®ome from Denver, was getting him to open the vault to make change on a draft. Butler was jumped upon by -the visitor and held, while his pal robbed the safe of $3000.

Hundreds of Armed Men Sur- round the Hunted Out- law. AWAIT THE COMING OF DAWN. With Daylight the Lines Will Move Upon the Murderer's Last Hiding Place. REDDING, Carn.fJune 22.—This city is in a high state of excitement to-night, and armed men are seen on every corner. At 10 o’clock this evening four carriage loads of officers, detectives and Sheriff’s posse left here for Bandit Brady’s hiding place, Ever since the fatal day in May when brave Sheriff Bogard fell before the deadly aim of the murderer, Brady has made his hiding place within a radius of four or five miles from the scene of the hold-up and killing at Wheatland. Only once has the desperate robber left his safe retreat near the scene of his exploits, and this de- parture will be the means of placing him in the hands of justice before many hours. To-day at 12 o'clock Brady appeared at the house of a colored family named Johns living on Spring Guleh, four miles from the scene of Wednesday’s fight between him and Bowers and Martin, and eight miles from Redding. The Johns family were away and their daughter was the only occupant of the house when he ap- peared and asked fordinner. The girl had heard ofhim and at once recognized him. He was lame and nearly exhausted. A dark slouch hat was pulled well down over his eyes and while devouring the meal which the frightened girl provided the rob- ber kept his hat on and hiseyes hidden. He said he had traveled many miles that day and told the Johns girl he was hunting for the robber. He talked very little, but asked if many men were hunting Brady and inquired of her if any had been there lately. She told him that three had left about a half hour before he came. On being told in which direction they went Brady arose and, without letting his face be seen, started from the house in an opposite direction, going west. Word was at once sent to the officers nearest the place, and in a few minutes the Johns homestead was alive with man-hunters. To-night 200 men surrounded a_piece of land some four miles square, and at the breaking of dawn will close in on the murderer and capture him. Brady has all along been in close hiding within a radius of three or four miles from the scene of his latest exploit, Clear Creek. He has eked out an existence by eating fruit from the orchards of the farmers in the vicinity. One farmer in the neighbor- hood has been missing blackberries and other small fruit the last two days, and at night the watchdogs were uneasy and showed by their actions that some one was lurking near. The tbeory of some, that the wounded man who is now being run to earth is not Brady, has been quashed, for it has been proved without a doubt that it is he. This morning the three Apache Indians who trailed Sontag and Evans arrived on the overland and were taken to the scene. It is said they trailed Brady to the spot where now the hundreds of armed men are preparing to close in upon him. Spe- cial Officer Britton and posse of two men arrived at the Johns house to-day, just half an hour before Brady got there. A letter from the posse at Johns, re- ceived to-night, states that Brady is in a bad condition, and that he will, without doubt, be captured by to-morrow. Mar- shall Gard and posse left this morning for ‘Whiskytown, from which place they are following down Clear Creek. A report that Brady was headed up that creek caused them to go there. Killed at Colfazx. SACRAMENTO., CAL., June 22.—A man named John Morton of Nevada City was killed this evening at Colfax while trying to board a westbound freight train. Mor- ton came up on the narrow-gauge, intend- ing to take the passenger train for the city, but got to drinking with friends an missed it. He then tried to jump on a freight train while it was moving at a high rate of speed, missed his hold and was hurled down the embankment. e Acquitted by a Spokane Jury.
