He added: “China is not telling the outside world what she thinks about Japan or what she intends to do, but you may be sure the matter is not settled.” He said that he intends to return to China as soon as his woundsheal.

Y., Oct 30.—Captain Hopkins of the four-masted schooner Star of the Sea of Boston, which arrived yester- day from Chisholm Island, 8. C., reports that on the 25th inst., in latitude 35 deg. 36 min., longitude 76 deg. 42 min., he sighted a piece of wreckage which ap- peared to be the top of a vessel’s house. Upon closer inspection he saw a man clad only in a shirt standing on the house waving a coat. The man was rescued. He gave his name as Benjamin F. Weeks, aged 30 years, of Wilmington, N. C., and stated that he belonged to the schooner Harry S. Lord Jr. of Bath, Me., Captain Kimball, from Cape Hayti for New York with a cargo of logwood. The Lord sailed from the cape on Octo- ber 12.

ASKFOR A NEW TR Cases of California Strikers Argued in the Supreme Court. Attorney Clune Contends That the Government’s Evidence Was Insufficient. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 30.—The California victims of the growing out of the railroad strike of 1894 were before the Supreme Court of the United States to-day, endeavoring to se- cure a new trial. They were convicted Court of the ern district of California for conspiracy to obstruct and retard the p ce of the mails over the Southern Pacific Railroad and sentenced by Judge Ross to imprison- ment for eighteen months each. The appeal was argued for the convicted men—W. H. Clune, Isaac Ross and Philip Stanwood. ali members of the American Railway Union—by Robert Christy, and by Attorney - General Harmon for the United States. Mr. Christy contended that the evidence adduced by the Government was not suf- ficient nor of such a nature as to justify the verdict, while the Attorney-General in- sisted that everything charged in the indictment and essential to conviction was abundantly proved. in the District DISCUSSED IN THE CABINET. England’s Attitude in Alaska Regarded Seriously at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 30.—The Alaskan-Cansdian controversy threatens to rival the Venezuelan boundary affair in importance. The CaLLcorrespondent learns that the matter was broached at the Cabi- | net meeting yesterday, but was held in abeyance until Superintendent Duflield of the Coast and Geodetic Survey finishes his computations and Uncle Sam ascertain: ‘“‘where he is at.” When this line is aistinctly marked. the Secretary of State will take the matter up with Sir Ju- lian Pauncefote. The publication in last Monday’s CarL seems to have awakened California mining men who have interests in Alaska to the importance of securing protection against British-Canadian encroachers, as a dozen telegrams were received yesterday at the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and several at S BURGLAKS U DYNAMITE.

L The lake is in itself an insignificant little body of shallow water, occupying a space in the heart of the residence portion of the city that might be designated on the city map as four or five biocks. It is located just west of El Dorado street, the Van Ness avenue of Stockton, and is an off- shoot of Stockton cnannel from a point just northeast of the Sperry mills. The lake was of course there long before Stockton was founded, and in the near vicinity of its unsightly banks are many of the most handsome residences of the city.

The homes of the dwellers on McLeods Lake are unique and character'stic of the odd as- sortment of healthful, happy, simple and indolent humanity that is in fact a part of the people and yet segregated from the whole by voluntary and common dissent. These argonauts of the tules recently serted their right to live theirlives in their own peculiar way, unhampered by legisla- tive or judicial restraint, in hurling defi- ance in the very teeth of Harbormaster Garwood, who, in’an unguarded moment, had the temerity to demand dockage of the viliage.

He has her name painted on " the outside of his ark home, and inside more than a dozen pictures of the departed one adorn the walls. A reverence for r memory is to him a passion, and he has apparently little else in his mind. For thirty years old MacSayley, a litcle dried-up man, has lived upon the lake, and during that time he has accumulated a portly wife and two or three urchins, who could give water rats_at other points lessons in that mode of life.

This incident has atiracted the | aglv.tentxon of the people of Stockton to | reir queer neighbors, who had previously commanded but small attention.

He rents boats to visitors for the sake of having a business, but is said to be quite wealthy, having made his money in the mines in the days when California was young.

NAPA, Car, Oct. 30.—The safe in the office of Hatt's large grain warehouse here was worked on by burglars some time be- tween 6 o’clock last evening and 6 o’clock this morning, but the operators were prob- ably frightened away as they failed to get the safe open. ‘When Albert Hatt arrived at the ware- house this morning he found one of the | front doors open, and on looking further saw that safebreakers had been at work during the night. Two holes had been drilled about half way through the inside | door. The drill must have been broken in the last hole, as it had almost pene- trated the steel door, for with alittle more work the polt would have been reached, when it would have been an easy job to force the bolt from its place. Captain Hatt thinks the burglars must have gained access to the building some time during the afternoon and secreted themselves among the grain bags. The Sneriff is now working on the case. About two years the large safe in the Hatt ware- house was blown open with dynamite and a small amount of money secured by the robbers. Searl SANTA MONICA MXYSTERY.

DESERTED THEIR ENGINE Fearing a Collision the Engineer and the Fireman Jumped to the Ground. ONLY A MEXICAN'S WAGON. It Was Stuck on the Track and Looked Like a Giant Locomotive in the Fog. SAN BERNARDINO, Car,, Oct. 30.—The accident to the Santa Fe limited, which happended last night, was attended by a peculiar incident. The engine ran until exhausted with no one in the cab, and the crew and passengers behind were not aware of the fact until the engine stopped dead. Engineer James Lumsden took the lim- ited out from this city for the run over the hill, leaving at 10:25 p. M. After he had passed Irvington, seven miles north of the city and some distance this side of Keenbrook, the train was bowling along at from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour, and on rounding a curve the engineer and fireman discovered some- thing just ahead that, at a hurried glance, they took to be another train bearing down upon them, and but a few feet away. A collision in which there would be an awful loss of life seemed inevitable. As the coming train seemed so near the engi- neer and fireman did not wait to reverse the lever or release the air, but dashed across the cab from their respective seats and leaped to the ground, expecting the crash of the two trains before they could land on the ground. But the obstruction wasonly a Mexican’s wagon loaded with wooa. His team had pulled the load until the wagon stood squarely across the track and the horses had been unable to getit over. In the darkness and with some fog hanging low the wagon was mistaken for the down- coming train, and the men had jumped, as they supposed, for their lives. When the fireman recovered he found the engineer almost unconscious, with a leg broken so badly that the bones protruded. Disentangling one of the uninjured horses the fireman, realizing that the engine could go no great distance, followed up the train on horseback and overtook it at a distance of about two miles. He then returned to San Bernardino, where he secured & conveyance and returned with medical aid to the injured engineer. Another engineer was sent up in a hack and the train resumed its journey. For about an hour the Santa Fe officials were kept in suspense as to the whereabouts of the train. NEW TO-DAY. It’s all a question of rent.

MERCED, Car., Oct. 30.—A suspected stage-robber, known as **Tex’’ Kellett, was cleverly trapped by Constable T. A. Mack of Merced County, near La Grange last night. Yesterday afternoon Constable Mack received private advices from his deputies that the man under suspicion of robbing the Merced and Coulterville stage about six weeks ago had left his haunts on the Fresno Flats and was working toward the Coulterville road. Mr. Mack concluded that he was pre- paring to gev in his work again on the monthly remittances from Coulterville and started to head him off. He leit Mercad and crossed the river at the Merced Falls rather ahead of the suspect. Waiting at the falls a short time, after giving the man time to pass him. he again took up the trail and came up with_him at the Rouse of Jim Long, near La Grange. Mack opened the door and drew a bead on him. commanding him to throw up his hands. The fellow obeyed the command, but dropped his left immediately in the at- tempt to draw a gun. A warning from Mack caused him to surrender. He was brought to Merced at 2 A. M. and safely lodged in the County Jail. The prisoner says his name is Smith. He is reported to have spent two terms in San Quentin, one for horse-stealing and one for assault. Constable Ed la Tour, who was over the ground about a week ago, furnished Mack with valuable assist- ance in the capture. Ten-Ounce Gold Nugget. KAMLOOPS, B.
