8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1895. BRIGHT PHCEBUS WO The Great Realization Stake at Sheeps- head Bay. EKEENAN WAS DEFEATED. But He Made a Gallant Struggle in the Big Race. CROMWELL SO00N DIED OUT. #The Favorite Wins In a Walk,” Shouted the Spectators Rather Too Soon. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 4.—Bright Phoebus won the Realization stakes at Sheepshead Bay to-day. He was second avorite, - Keensn, the odds on favorite, was the only horse that gave him any trouble. The pair fought out the issue for nearly the full length of the homestretch. The course was a veritable quagmire. There was, contrary to general expecta- tions, a delay at the post. They finally got v in fine order. Cromwell pursued his 1 tactics. He went out and died in There was mno change worthy of notice until the far turn was reached. Cromwell then began to show some effects of the terrible pace he had set. A furlon; from home the race looked like an ea thing for Keenan -and every one was shout- | ing “the favorite wins in a walk.”” The cry was premature. Bright Phoebus had been generally getting his wind for a final effort and challenged the favorite at the sixteenth pole. A hard struggle ensued. Keenan had made his effort too early and had but little left to finish with. Reiff rode a magnificent race on Phoebus and landed him. a winner by a neck. Taral, after driving King Arthur I with terrible force for fully half a mile, managed to home -in third place, just eight hs behind Keenan.

DVDENCE AGANST WO, | Persons Implicated in the Seljan Murder in the “ Sweatbox.”” Officers Scoop Up a Pint of Blood to Be Used During the | Trial. OMAHA, NEBR., July 4.—This afternoon the “sweatbox” was used on all people | who are believed to be implicated 1n the | Seljan murder. Theirstories are very con- flicting and self-contradictory. The two boarders, however, seem to be deepest in the mire. They are Anthon Bokobeand John Drobinc. Bokobe says that he was | away from the house all day, while the | | others say he was at the house all day. This afternoon the officers scooped up a | pint of blood to be used in the trial. There were marks of a head being crushed against | the wali and also on the outside of the door, which indicates_that the room was | entered by the assassins and the murder committed before the door was closed. No trace of the body has been found yet, but it is thought to be not in the river but in a | brush heap or privy vault in_that vicinity. id t it will be found in a few day | This evening two men were found who sa they saw the two boarders at the river bank at 6:30 o’clock yesterday morning | near the place where the clothing was | found. | SRR ARRESTED AT SAN JOSE. lTwn Men Who Committed Burglary in i Nan Francisco in Custo | SAN JOSE, CaL., July 4. — Chief Kid- | ward early this morning arrested J.

HEALDSBURG, Car., July 4.—Con- | stables Norton and Ingalls made an im- | portant capture when they caught B. F. Willis and P. A. Love in the act of furnish- | ing liquor to Indians early yesterday morn- ing. About forty of the Alexander Valley ! Indians camped near the river bridge and seemed to have a liberal supply of liquor, for they soon became drunk and trouble- | some. A watch was put upon the camp last night and this noon the officers cap- tured the guilty parties. It is believed the arrest of Love and Willis will put an end to the traffic, for they were long believed to be engaged in the traffi Fire at Arrowhead Springs. SAN BERNARDINO, Can., July 4.— A telephone message has just been re- ceived that Arrowhead Hot Springs is in flames and requesting teams to transport | the guests to this city. The flames can be seen from this city. The hotel is a noted resort five miles from this city, with accommodations for 300 guests. It has its own electric light plant. The building 1s of wood, and there 15 little hope of saving anything. There are about forty guests there. The Stewart hotel bus has'gone for the guests. The building cost "$30,000 and is owned by Chapman & Coulter of Los Angeles. — e Found Dead Near Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Oav., July 4.—To-day an unknown man was found by Justice of the Peace Gandy lying by the roadside and very sick in the outskirts of the city.

JAPAN TAKES FORMOSA. Fierce Battles, in Which the Mongols Were Slaugh-~ tered, as Usual. KILLED BY THE HUNDREDS. Further Details of the Destruction of Mission Property in Chingtu. [Correspondence of the United Press.] TOKIO, Jarax, June 19.—Additional de- tails of the transfer of Formosa on June 2 and the subsequent battles of Japanese troops with Black Flags have been re- ceived. Upon reaching Zhui-fang the Jap- anese attacked from three sides. A battery, which had fired very busily and fruitlessly on the preceding day, was quickly stormed, and the Chinese. some 1500 in number, were driven pell mell from the village. Some 300 of them rallied, however, and taking up a position in a dense wood, har- rassed the Japanese considerably. On the whole, the pluck shown by the Chinese on this occasion was exceptional. They left 130 dead on the field and lost 30 prisoners. The casualties on the Japanese side were 9 killed and 16 wounded. Kelung was attacked the next day. | This is an important place on the north- east coast, noted for its coal mines, which are worked under foreign direction. Ad- miral Courbet bombarded and occupied Kelung in 1884, during the Franco-Chinese “state of reprisals.” The coal is consid- ered to be of excellent quality, and the scenery of this part of the island is grand and beautiful. But the topographical features of Kelung render it exceedingly difficult of assault from theland side. The first of the two forts forming the chief de- fences of the place was stormed without great difficulty, but it was found impos- sible to bring the second under the range of artillery, and its capture could not be effected until a small body of men man- aged to climb the precipitous slope at the rear and take the garrison by surprise. The operations of assault commenced at 6 A. M., but notuntil5 in the evening had the place fallen completely into Japanese possession. 8ix thousand Chinese had taken partin the defense; 1700 Japanese in the attack. The former lost 200 men; the latter 3 killed and 29 wounded; a dis- parity due in part to the superiority of the Japanese arms, and to the fact that smok- less powder was used by the assailants. All through the war the Chinese have shown complete demoralization after de- feat. The record was not altered in For- mosa. From Kelung the Japanese forces struck across to Tamsnui, on the northwest coast. They found only disorder on their route. At Taipeh the retreating troops, aided by a mob, piliaged and burned on a wholesale scale, finally firing a powder mill and magazine, killing a hundred of their countrymen and destroying property valued at a million dollars. Meanwhile, the Japanese were only ten miles away, but could not get up in time to quell the disturbance. At Hobe, a town on the coast, similar scenes were enacted. Tang, President of the new republic, had been reminded from Peking that his family were in China, and that if he persevered in his lawless course they would have to pay the penalty. Thereupon he decided to fly, and his re- treat gave the signal to a multitude of the republicans. On June 6 the fugitives set out in boats for the German steamer Arthur, lying off Hobe. But the men left behind did not relish this desertion. The opened fire on the boats and the steamer from the forts Killing seven persons and wounding seven- | teen. Then the German gunboat Iltis took a hand in the game. A few well- directed shots from her guns laid thirteen braves low in the forts and put an end to thetrouble. On the 9th of June the Japan- ese occupied Tamsui. They met with no resistance. Three thousand Chinese troops laid down their arms,and were immediately sent off in Japanese and foreign ships to Amoy, where they were liberated, and where they lost no time in starting a dis- turbance that called for renewed action on the part of the energetic Iltis. Thus the whole of Northérn Formosa is in Japanese possession, and the republic is at an end.- But Liu, the ex-chief of the Black Flags, remains to be dealt with in the South, and may yet give much trouble. In the early years ot foreign intercourse with Japan numerous outrages were com- mitted against the persons and properties of foreigners, and the Japanese acquired the reputation of beinga ferocious, bigoted nation. But it is now known that many of these deeds had a political motive; their object was to embroil the Shogun’s Gov- ernment with Western nations, and thus contribute to its downfall. It was by the Shogun that the treaties had been made, and upon his shoulders fell the responsi- bility resulting from all violations of them. A majority of the Samurai that slashed at unoffending foreigners, or set fire to le- gations, were actuated, not by any senti- ment of hatred against the alien, but by the hope of weakening the Shogunate by involving it in foreign complications. An idea is gaining ground in the East that some, at any rate, of the anti-foreign riots in China are fomented by the enemies of the Manchu dynasty. This theory derives force from the latest instance of the kind. It is certainly a remarkable coincidence that just as China had succeeded in obtain- ing respite from her war with Japan, the Government in Peking should find itself confronted by a new and serious trouble. Never since the beginning of foreign inter- course with China has there been such wholesale destruction of foreign property as that consummated on May 29, 30 and 31 by a mob in Chengtu, the chief town of Szechuan. It is estimated that the loss sustained by the Roman Catholic Mission alone is 3,000,000 francs. Among the buildings destroyed are three chapels, more than 150 years old, mission- houses, schools, hospitals and orphanages. Other mission bodies are said to have suffered proportionately. French fathers, representing the Missions Etrangeres, bave been in Chengtu since 1753, and their propagandism has succeeded so far that in Western Szechuan they have 40,000 con- verts. Mgr. Durand, the Bishop, is reported as “‘wounded.”” He has been twenty-six years in China and has spent most of that | marck’s death. long period at the scene of these wholesale outrages. He, together with the rest of the missionaries, French, American and Brit- ish, are now taking refuge in the yamen o! the local officials, where some reports al- lege that they are receiving frendly pro- tection, others that they are held prisoners, The latter version seems unreasonable, but some displays of unreason must be ex- pected under the circumstances. The situation of the unfortunate missionaries is certainly most precarious. Their place of refuge or detention is in the heart of a province 700 miles above Chungking, so that to send a foreign military or naval force to their rescue is out of the question. Several ladies are among the number and thus no element of uneasiness is wanting. MRS. CRAIGIE DIVOERCED. Her Husband’s Lawyer Withdrew From the Case. LONDON, Exg., July 4—The action for absolute divorce, brought by Mrs. Craigie, the novelist, against her husband, has ended in favor of the plaintiff. Mr. Craigie’s lawyer withdrew from the case this morning, whereupon Justice Jeune granted the wife a divorce with costs. bt toon A Embassador Eustis Presided.

LINCOLN, Ngpr., July 4.—Chairman C. E. Bentley called the Prohibition State convention to order in the capitol building yesterday. The attendance was not large. Chairman Bently made an extended speech outlining the position of the party on leading questions, more especially the liquor traffic and currency. After effect- ing a permanent organization the conven- tion adjourned until to-morrow, when nominations will be made. Little effort is being made by any candidate for a place on the State ticket. At night a mass-meeting was held, at which addresses were made by leading workers in the temperance cause. Over 100 delegates were present to-day and the day was devoted almost wholly to afightin the resolutions committee and on the floor of the House on the silver uestion, the 16to 1 advocates securing a tie vote in the convention, the chairman vohn&a ainst it. A. G. Wolfenborger, one of the most vio- lent 16 to 1_advocales, was nominated for Supreme Court Judge and Mrs. A. D. Woodbey (colored) of Omaha and J. J. Stromsburg were nominated for Regents of the University. CO. B. Bently was in- dorsed for Presldy nt.

ENTHUSIASM GROWS DAILY. Surrounding Towns Sending Ald to Make the Occasion a Great Success. EUREKA, Carn., July 4.—As carnival time draws nearer, the enthusiasm of the people becomes more pronounced as evi- denced by the energetic efforts of the business men and the increased number of votes' for queen cast daily. Before the contest closes it is believed that the re- ceipts from the balloting will reach $1000. This will go into the general carnival fund. The vote at present stands as fol- lows: Miss Ella Mathews, 5685. Annie Hall, 3867. Mabel Scott, 3280, Elma Haight, 2620. Annie Evang, 1340. The co-operation of the entire county is needed to crown this effort with success. Inview of this fact, the valley towns, Ferndale, Fortuna and Hydesville, and the northern towns, Arcatajand Blue Lake, will each contribute a maid of honor to Queen Sequoia. Besides these the four de- feated candidates for the honor of queen will also be asked to serve in the same capacity. From the number of communications received daily it is certain that a large number of tourists will take advantage of the reduced fares of $12 50 and $10 for the round trip between San Francisco and this port and gratify their long-felt desire to visit the home of the giant redwood, at the time of the celebration given in its honor. Forest Park, a grove of twenty acres of virgin redwood, as yet undisturbed by the woodman’s ax, affords an excellent op- portunity to see the noble Sequoia to good advantage. This natural park is situated within the city limits and about one mile from the water front. It was purchased recently by the city from August Glatt, who, realizing what its value would be when the redwood in the vicinity should become scarce, has diligently guarded it for thirty vears. Itis here probably that the queen will be crowned. Ex-Congressman Geary and Congress- man Barham have signified their inten- tion to be here during carnival time. The Chamber of Commerce, City Council and Board of Supervisors have each sent an in- vitation to Governor Budd aud staff, and an invitation has also been extended to Charles M. Shortridge, editor and pro- prietor of the San Francisco CALL. A magnificent double arch will be con- structed at the corner of Second and F streets and a single arch at the corner of Fifth and F streets. All outside visitors coming into the city must passthrough either one of these arches. The pavilion will be buiit near the center of the city, on the block between Fifth and Sixth and F and G streets. Ex-Mayor Kinsey has been chosen as director-general, and a committee, consist- ing of Dr. W. E. Cook, Lawrence Puter and N. Kalischer, appointed to wait upon the gentleman. The committee on field sports, consisting of A. J. Wiley, Fred Hansen and N. Kalischer, announces the following pro- gramme: Hose tournament. Bicycle races (class A)—One-mile novice, half & mile scratch, mile handieap, quarter of a mile scratch for boys under 15 years of age, tw sle hnndlcn‘h Class B—One-milescratch, halfa mile scratch, two-mile handicap. Foot races—100-yard dash, 75-yard dash, 220- yerd dash 50-yard potato race for boys over 15 years of age. An allowance of $650 has been granted as prizes for these events.
