Purser Laird and Mr. Bubne are both confident that the vessel is a total loss. The Humboldt was launched in this bay October 2, 1875, and was built by the busi- ness men of thiscounty. She has had more than her share of bad accidents in her twenty years of life and bas always come out unscathed. Only one life was lost in twenty vears—that of Second Officer Caba- niss on the last trip. Several years ago the steamer Arago ran the Humboldt down near Point Reyes and came near sinking her. Some time after- ward she lost her rudderon the bar and was four days in reaching San Francisco. She was valued at $60,000 when new,jand carried a valuable cargo on her last trip. She was insured for $30,000. X AN UNLUCKY BOAT. The Humboldt Figured in Frequent Ac- cidents. The Humboldt sailed from San Fran- cisco for Eureka, Fields Landing and Ar- cata last Friday morning.

The fifth race being necessary, the course was decided by lot, the Englishman winning. He chose the triangular course, which, with the wind east-northeast, meant first leg to windward work and two of reaching, the latter being the strong points of the Spruce IV. The starting signal was given at 12:45, with the wind about eight knots, both yachts maneuver- ing to the windward of the line. They came up and crossed the line close hauled on the starboard tack, with Ethelwynn in the windward position. The actual cross- time (unofficial) Ethelwynn, 5:25; Spruce IV, 1 3 oth stood away on the starboard tack, heading northeast for the beat to the first mark. The first tack was made twenty minutes after crossing, and the American constantly beating to weather through vetter pointing and faster footing needed only nine tacks to the mark, while the Briton required eleven. The Ethelwynn’s official time as she began the starboard reach to the next mark, showed a gain on the first leg of two minutes, fifteen seconds. The second leg, a broad reach to starboard, was turned by the Ethelwynn with an ad- dition to her gain of forty seconds. The third leg, a broad reach to the starting line, showed the surprising gain for the thelwynn on her rival's best points of going of one miuute, ten seconds. Her net advantage at the end of the first round was four minutes, ten seconds. On the next leg, a second of windward work, the Ethelwynn needed eleven tacks to weather the mark, while the Spruce, { though making but ten, seemed to be pointing badly and footing slowly. The Ethelwynn’s net gain to the mark was 3 minntes 38 seconds, being a better show- ing than on the first round, though the wind was of but little greater strength.

PITISBURG, Pa., Septs 28. — William Brady and John Errisson, two members of the Scribner & Smith Circus Company, were instantly killed by a train on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Clicago and St. Railway this morning at Hudson's near Carnecie Station. The men traveling from Chartiers to McDon- ¢ age and were struck by a train ile crossing the track.

L, Sept. 28.—Mr. Lay- cock’s big yacht Valhalla, which came es- pecially to witness the America cup races, left this morning, having on board Lord Dunraven and his two daughters, Lady Eileen and Lady Rachel. Previous to his departure he was seen by THE CALL corre- spondent and consented to give his views on the cup races of this year and the pros- pects for racing in the future. Referring to the statements which had been credited to him that he did not have a high regard for the American press, he said that he wished that error corrected. He did think that the American newspa- pers had dealt very fairly, and while, of course, there were a few whose tone on the difficulty had not been what common courtesy should have dictated, the general tone was of the highest character. “There seems to have been an idea abroad that I never intended to challenge for the cup again, and that even if I did so | the challenge woula not be accepted. This is entirely misleading, as I had in mind a prompt challenge for rext year as soon as ! the present difficulty had been settled in some way. I see that I am rather late now, but if the present challenger does not succeed in capturing the cup next season 1 shall surely be back in 1897 for another try.” Asked whether he could say anything in regard to the manner in which he had been treated by the New York Yacht Club he smiled and replied: *“I hgve no cause for complaint. I was treated the same as one gentleman treats another. Of course, I had to experience a little of the ill luck which must follow every sportsman, but I do not blame the club for that by any means. I must acknowledge that we were beaten fairly in the first race, but I think that in the second the Defender’s chances of winning were not very much impeded, as during the whole time that she was en- gaged in repairing her topmast shroud we were luffed up, thinking that the race had been called off, so that we did not gain the enormous distance that is generally sup- posed. The event was unfortunate, but it is past and I am disposed to let bvgones be bygones and hope for better luck next year. “I shall keep the Valkyrie here until next season, when she will be used asa trial horse for our cup-challenger, and she will also take part in all of the important races and I expect that we shall give 3 better account of ourselves, for you know I have not as yet been tried in heavy weather. It is with sincere regret that I leave America, but I shall be back early in the spring, when I hope to be actively engaged during the whole racing season.”” After a hearty handshake of THE CALL correspondent Lord Dunraven stepped aboard fhe tender of the Valhalla, and she steamed out of the harbor homeward bound. Gio el CANADA WANTS THE CUP. Prominent Men Will Build a Boatto Com-~ pete for the Trophy. MONTREAL, CaNapa, Sept. 28.—The outcome of the cup races this year has given a tremendous boom to yachting in Canada and as a result of this boom a syn- dicate of wealthy men, members of the Royal Canadian and Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Clubs, have signified their intention of challenging for the cup next year. The gentleman said to be the head of the syndicate is Sir George Rivers, the wealthy railroad magnate, and he is supported by some of the best-known business men of the Dominion. In the event of the boat built this year not being able to compete for the cup another will be built in 1897 for the same purpose. Canada has already had two tries for the cup, in both being unsuccessful, but this time she hopes to have better luck, as she thinks it will be easier to build a boat to suit the American waters, as they are practically similar to those of Canada. Plans are already being drawn for the new boat, and it is said they are by Watson. The new boat will be designed of similar material to that used in Val- kyrie IIL and will also be largely con- structed above the water line of alumi. num. The total cost will be about $100,000. Al gt BASEBALL FRANCHISES. Spirited Contest to Secure Franchises From the Western League. CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. 28.—No decision was reached by representatives of the Western Baseball League in regard to which clubs shall make up the league, which is as yet incomplete by two clubs. A six-club league in which the franchises are to be for five years each was formed last night, but all efforts to complete the number of clubs proved futile at to-day’s session, and the league adjourned to meet in Chicago November 20, when it will hear the report of a committee appointed to consider the claims of four cities to a fran- chise. The cities are Columbus, Omaha, Grand Rapids and Toledo, and the committee consists of President B. B. Johnson, W. F. C. Golt of Indianapolis and Matt Killilea of Milwaukee. Manager Ellis of the Grand Rapids team, who is the most favored bidder for the Columbus franchise, told the delegates he wished it understood that if he could not get the Columbus franchisé he was a bidder for any he could get. Manager Denny Long, who holds the Terre Haute franchise, is a bidder for any club he can get also. Tt was given out that if Ellis was granted the Toledo franchise John Carney, the Terre Haute first baseman, would be associated with him in the management of the club. It was asserted, however, by Manager Vanderbeck of the Detroit Club that he had secured €arney for Detroit next sea- son by trading for him two players, an in and out fielder. Mr. Vanderbeck also claims to have traded for Al Weddige, also a Terre Haute player., The $18,000 surpius, after the $8000 pro- vided for by the constitution to be set aside as a sinking fund had been sub- tracted, was divided up among the mem- bers of last year’s league pro rata. A vote of thanks was extended to retir- ing manager Murphy of the Minneapolis Ciub, whose franchise was turned over to Goodenow. The circuit committee ap- pointed Thursday will make out the cir- cuit table later on. e HARMON ON PRIZE-FIGHTING. Corbett and Fitzsimmons Not to Be Al- lowed to Meet in Indian Territory. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 28.—Attor- ney-General Harmon observed to-day have just looked up the law about prize- fighting in Territories, and also about prize-fighting in the Indian Territory, which legally speaking is not a ‘Territory,’ but simply a ‘country,” and I have con- cluded that while there may be no law to prevent prize-fighting in the Indian coun- try yet the Government can proceed to stop it by main force. I have therefore concluded that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will not come off in the Indian coun- try, even though they make arrangements with the Indians to accommodate the en- terprise. “The Government can send troops into that country to prevent a disturbance of the peace without being applied to by the local Indian Government, and I shall take all the necessary steps to prevent the fight being pulled off in that country. Then it won’t do to try and pull it off in Oklaho- ma, for while they might fix territorial authorities there, troops could be sent in without a request being received from the Government.” The Attorney-General received & number of messages to-day, asking him to prevent the mill in the Indian country. Thisisin response to the statement by Dan Stuart that they would have to fight in the Indian country if forced out of Texas by the Legis- lature, On receiving the messages the Attorney-General investigated the matter hyt'way of taking a position for official action.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 28 — Captain James F. Smith and Representa- tive James G. Maguire arrived to-day. The former is particularly interested in secur- ing executive clemency for Hans Hanson, under sentence to be executed October 18. He will try to see the President, and place the case before him orally, and in this he wiil be aided by Maguire. They filed with the pardon clerk papers asking for the pardon, among the petitioners being eleven of the jury, the captamn of the Hesper, on which thc crime was com- mitted, but the pardon is opposed by | Foote, while Garter has not taken sides. ) PLANS OF SOCIALISTS: Many Motions to Come Before the Breslau Congress. WOMAN’S RIGHT UPHELD Members of the Gentler Sex to Be Placed on Equal Terms With Men. FEMALE DELEGATES T0 ATTEND Renewal of the Fight In Germany Against the Standard OIll Monopoly. BERLIN, GErMANY, Sept. 28.—The list of motions which have been forwarded from the different districts that will be represented in the coming socialist con- gress at Breslau, beginning on October 6, for discussion by that body, covers six columns of the socialist organ, the Vor- waerts. The resolutions dealing with the Agrarian programme of the party, which has already been outlined in these dis- patches, will meet with such decided op- position from many of the districts that it may be predicted that they are doomed. The committee which is responsible for the drafting of the Agrarian programme will probably accept a proposal to suspend final voting thereon until the convening of some future congress, the committee.in the meantime collating material for a re- vision of the programme and as the basis States embassy here, has gone to Paris for a few weeks’ sojourn.

LEON, Nicaraeus, Sept. 21.—By the falling of the walls of a schoolhouse, just out of the city yesterday noon, while the children were at their classes, nineteen children were wounded, some of them badly, and seven were killed outright. The authorities are blamed because the building had been declared unsafe. sl ey Fighting on the Mosquito.

Seventeen British warships have arrived off Lemnos, near the entrance to the Dar- danelles.

It is pretty well understood that several leading dele- gates are resolved to again make an at- tempt to bring the religious question to the front and ask the congress to affirm that religion is inimical to the socialist spirit and that the party is ready to fight every form of religious faith. In the eight hour a day resolution a paragraph has been introduced applying the eight hour rule to all public offices, and demanding that the Socialist members of the Reich- stag be instrueted at every session to move a labor bill, fixing eight hours as the max- imnm working day and the first day of May as a national holiday. The resolution also demands that the Socialist Deputies be called upon to introduce a measure placing woman in every way upon the same legal footing as man with no politi- Bitter Attack on O’Donovan Rossa and the Delegates to the Convention. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 28.—Captain Thomas J. Phelan, who was assaulted by five men with knives and almost killed in 0’Donovan Rossa’s office. in New York City in 1885 on account of reputed treachery to the Clan-na-Gael, of which he was then a leader, talked to-day to a reporter of the World relaiive to the recent. Irish conven- tion in Chicago. He said that of the 1500 men that at- tended the convention not more than cal or other disabilities. Another proposed measure is one abol- ishing the laws placing unmarried women and their offspring in an invidious position before th€ law in regard to the old age in- surance and providing that the period of eligibility to pension be reduced from 70 to 60 years. Avpart from these proposals, aiming at socialistic legislation, some of the Berlin districts demand that the offi- cials of the Socialist party, including the Socialist members of the Reichstag, shall not receive more than 3000 marks per annum for their services, which sum shall not be exceeaed in the payment of editors for the party organs. A meeting of the woman'’s branch of the Socialist party, held in Berlin, has decided to send two female delegates to the Breslau congress, in view of the proposed resolu- tion admitting women to equality with men, and demanding that they be placed in every respect upon the same legal foot- ing. In the face of these demands on the part of the congress upon the Government it is difficult to see how the female dele- gates can be excluded from the Breslau convention. The chemical industries of Germany have held a conference to consider the advisability of taking steps to counteract the monopoly of the German petroleum market by the Standard Oil Company. One of the remedies which have been dis- cussed is the reduction of the duty on raw oil to such an extent that home refineries would be able to compete with the im- ported refined product. This proposal was opposed on the ground that its adop- tion would seriously interfere with the German paraffine industry. A resolution was finally adopted favoring the plan of petitioning the Government to call a con- vention 1 Berlin composed of all interior industries for the purpose of seeking in twenty-five would shoulder a musket in a war with England; that most of them were ‘‘mouth fizhters at long range’’ and “‘physical and moral cowards, whose methods of warfare, if they engaged in any at all, would be assassination.” Phelan said that J. F. Finerty was an accomplished and able man and he was surprised to see him in such company, but he supposed he was seeking prestige in politics at home more than the leadership of a bona-fide fight abroad. He was par- ticuiarly bitter regarding the ovation given Rossa upon his entrance to the con- vention. “This talk about an army to ‘strike for Ireland’ is buncombe,” said the captain. “TIt is probably an advance play for Michael Davitt, who has been working Australia and who will soon be in 8an Francisco to make a tour for subscriptions. Money and politics are at the bottom of any maneuver which O’Donovan Rossa’s crowd gets en- thusiastic over. Rossa said I could not stay in this country and livee. Why haven’t the cutthroats of this man come and got me? I defy them. A few thou- sand miles is their distance, and they are keeping it. “I might as well go down and expecto- rate in the Missouri River with the expec- tation of flooding St. Louis as for the men of the Rossa type to expect to overthrow England by the means they would use. “Perhaps another Mr. Egan is to be ap- pointed Minister to another country and Mr. Finerty is preparing himselt to apply for the place. Assassinations by hirelings will not free Ireland. As for actual fight- ing by this gang that isall bosh. Men of Rossa's type will not risk their own lives while the people of this country or else- where can be duped out of their money or political positions can be gained by word fighting, with an occasionally assassination thrown in.” P UL DOLLIE ITUITLE, A THIEF. The Dashing Kansas Beauty Convicted of Stealing Horses. WICHITA, Kans.,, Sept. 28, — Dollie Tuttle, the dashing beauty of Caldwell, Kans., who recently created such a sensa- tion by stealing a horse and bugey from that place and leaving for parts unknown, came to grief in the Sumner County Dis- trict Court to-day. She was followed by the Sheriff into Missouri, and after leading him a chase of over 200 miles sold the out- fitata handsome figure and purchased a ticket to New York, but was apprehended before she had started on her trip. The charge of horse-stealing was sustained, much to the surprise of her friends, who had predicted that her beauty would save her from the penitentiary. She is the first woman ever convicted of horse-stealing in Sumner County. WAR ON GRASSHOPPERS. Object of the Million COlubs That Are Organized in Kansas. WICHITA, Kaxs., Sept. 28.—The “Mil- lion Clubs’’ that are being organized in the farming districts of Kansas have for their object the extermination of the grass- hoppers and other insects whose presence in great numbers in various parts of the State has occasioned widespread alarm. Various new methods of ridding the coun- try of hoppers have been tried with but inaifferent success. A uniform plan of ac- tion will be decided upon, and then a con- certed effort will be made to destroy the pests. No damage has yet been done by them. —_— COLLIDED IN A CHANNEL. Two Steamers Met and Both Were Badly Damaged. SAULT STE. MARIE, Mrc., Sept. 28.— The wooden steamer Robert L.

Her bow was almost en- tirely cut away. She lies with her decks under water. The Fryer is valued at $95,000, and carries insurance of e390,000.

In con- nection with the Standard Oil monopoly considerable relief has been given to the German trade by the immense increase in the production of petroleum. At Schnednika, in Galicia, a petroleum well was found early in September which rose with such power that it flooded the land in the vicinity, and had to be closed until the necessary pipes and tanks could be got ready to receive the yield. This week the shaft was reopened and the well is now yielding 22,000 hundredweight ol crude petroleum daily. The syndicate which is working the well calculates it is capable of providing suffi- cient 0il to supply the needs of Austria and leaving a batance for export large enough to render American and Russian competition impossible. The Emperor has ordered that the un- veiling of the monument to the late Em- press Augusta, in the Opernhaus-rlatz, shall take place with great state cere- monies on October 21. P The Hamburg Correspondenz, a semi- official publication in an article recurring to the recent reports of a Ministerial crisis, says: “There exist two groups who are angry at Prince von Hohenlohe’s success as a Chancellor. The first group is composed of friends and adherents of ex-Chancellor Count von Caprivi, who wanted him to re- main in office for personal and material reasons, and the next is formed of parties —bimetallists, agrarians and others—each party believing that their particular. policy was defeated by the success of Prince von Hohenlohe.

But They Are Members of the Cltizens’ Central Sanitary Committee. HONOLULU, Hawair, Sept. 11, 10 A. M.— Cholera cases to date, 69; deaths, 52; re- ported soon after taken'sick, 36; reported when dying, 18; reported after death, 15; completely recovered, 8; in hospital, 9. Nationality—Hawaiian, 63; American, 3; part Hawaiian and part negro, 1; Chinese, 1; Japanese, 1. For the past thirty hours only one case has been reported, which was at 1:40 o’clock this morning. A much more hope- ful feeling prevails in the community and every one thinks the strenuous measures adopted by the Board of Health and the citizens’ sanitary committee are having the desired effect. There is no sickness among the 300 immigrants brought by the Rio Janeiro, ana the remaining patients will likely recover. This is official from the Board of Health up to the present writing. Although the Australia’s mail closed at noon on the 5th inst., it was 9:30 p. M. when she left, the delay being caused by the large amount of freight still left in her hold. The Pacific Mail steamer Rio Janeiro was reported off the harbor at 1:30 ». M. The pilot-boat went out to meet her, but Captain Smith didn’t need any pilot and came right in to the harbor, cholera or no cholera. He was permitted to land his saloon passengers and mails and his Chinese immigrants, the latter being put ashore at the quarantine island. He was refused permission to land any freight until the result of a meeting of the Board of Health in relation thereto was made public. On Sunday morning the board held a special meeting, to which the leading mer- chants of the city were invite The ad- visability of landing the Rio Janeiro freight was left to the latter and they voted to the number of forty unanimously against allowing any freight whatever to be landed here or on her return trip. This action was then indorsed by the board and ihe steamer’s agents notified. Atterward the vessel was given the option of seven days’ quarantine, at the end of which she would be allowed to unload her freight into a hulk. This did not suit Captain Smith and he left for San Francisco at once, only giving one hour’s notice that he would take a mail. Many people were badly disappointed in not getting mail off by her, as the next steamer does not leave till the 19ih. At present the city is governed by a com- mittee of citizens styled the central sani- tary committee, composed of ten leading citizens irrespective of politics. They are ‘W. A. Kinney, A. W. Carter, G. W. Smith, J. F. Colburn, 8. K. Kane, T. B, Mc- Stocker, John E. Bush, L. A, Thurston, E. C. Macfarlane and C. L. Hopkins. Under this committee several hundred volunteers are working. The committee was organ- ized on Saturday evening and started at once by ordering a complete census made. ‘While this was going onon Saturday night the committee divided up the city into twenty-one districts, each under an inspec- tor and deputies. On Sunday morning these inspectors detailed their deputies to certain streets, and before noon a complete report of a house-to-house visitation was in the hands of the central committee. This is done twice a day since, and will be continued until the epidemic is over. Every case of sickness of whatever nature, together with the name of the physician in attendance, is now reported twice daily. If, as in many cases, the parties are too poor to employ a doctor one is sent to ex- amine the case immediately the report is received. Of course the central committee and all under it are working in connection with and under the direct authority of the Board of Health, but its formation relieves the latter of a vast amount of work and re- sponsibility and allows it to devote its whole time to other matters. The house-to-house visitation develops a state of affairs that should have been at- tended to long ago. Hundreds of defect- ive, neglected and filthy closets have been AT THE INSTITUTE. ‘What the Specialists Are Doing to Re- store Health and Strength to Sufferers. Itis an established rule of the Institute thut no incurable diseases are taken. If an appli- cant is found to be suffering from true cancer or tubercular consumption he ig frankly told that he cannot be cured, though much may be done to allay his sufferings, but as medical science has yet failed to discover any cure for these two dreadful maladies all the physicians of the Institute say freely and frankly that it is beyond human power to remove these evils. Nevertheless it should not be forgotten that there are many instances where mistakes have been made in diagnosing these diseases, so it 1is well for all suiferers to apply for help at the Institute. All the Following Cases Aro Curable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladder; all bronchial diseases; all functional nervous dis- eases; St. Vitus' dance; hysteria; shaking palsy; ulcers; wastes of vital forces; rhemae tism; gout: eczema; all skin diseases, from what~ ever cause arising; psoriasis; all blood-polsoning; varicocele; poison oak: lost or impaired manhood ; spinal trouble; nervous exhaustion and prostra tion; incipient paresis; all kidney diseases; lum- bago; sclatica; all bladder troubles: dyspepsia; indigestion; constipation; all visceral disorders, which are treated by the depurating department, Special instruments for bladder troubles. These are a few of the special diseases in which exceptionally remarkable cures have been made by the specialists, and it may frankly be stated that & helping hand Is extended to every patient.
