CROCKER'S ARZONA THP, Investigating the Feasibility of Changing the Southern Pacific's Route. Goldfield and Phenix to Gila Bend. PH (ENIX, Ariz., Jan. 7.—Colonel C. F. ker, vice-president of the Southern Railroad, accompanied by J. T. tt, ex-Deputy Collector of the Port of New York, will arrive here in his pri- vate car to-morrow. To those who know no better, it is given out that Colone! Crocker has come here fer a social time, and that Mr. Fassett will be the guest of Whitelaw Reid during his stay of one week. With others, howéver, this statement carries little weight, for they are certain that Colonel Crocker is here for the pur- vose of inquiring into the feasibility of changing the route of the Southern Pacific and to look over the ground. This change, as stated in an article in Tuz Carr, contemplates the abandonment of the present line from Bowie station to Gila Bend, a distance of 240 miles, and a change of route so that Southern Pacific trains will run throngh Globe goldfield, Florence and Pheenix to Gila Bend. fome time ago Francis Cutting and N. asten did just what Colonel Crocker will now do; t is, they looked over this | proposed route.

It is to Yu!s final de- n upon this matter that Colonel rocker now visits Pheenix and the other points most affected by the proposed While he is here, Colonel Crocker will also receive the report of Colonel G. H. Honshell, general superintendent of the Maricopa, Phenix and Salt River Valley Railroad, a part of the Southern Pacitic system, under whose direction a good deal of canvassing, with a view to obtaining the opinions of the heaviest shippers of the towns most effected, has been done. Tucson, the second laregest city in the Territory, has entered an energetic protest against its abandonment, and it is to see whether the other towns most interested will appreciate to a sufficient extent the favor the Sonthern Pacific will confer upon them, that calls Colonel Crocker hither. e CIRIC PLANTS.

Starvation the Captain’s Weapon to Quell the Uprising of His Men. WERE DECEIVED AND ROBBED. A Tacoma Boarding-House Runner Responsible for the Trouble. PORT ANGELES, Wasn., Jan. 7.—A Carr correspondent received information this morning that there was mutiny among the sailors on board the British four- masted ship Gifford, and that an effort was being made by the officers to keep the news from reaching the shore. The cor- respondent was refused permission to go aboard, but the gruff English captain, who was pacing his quarterdeck, acknowl- edged that he had twelve men imprisoned in the forecastle. They had refused to work yesterday morning. When asked what he intended to do in the matter the | captain replied that at present the men were not getting anything to eat, and he was of the opinion that under such circum- stances they would soon be ready to work agein. No one has been allowed to go ashore since the mutiny occurred, and the captain is praying for good weather, so he can put to sea, where further measures will probably be used to subdue the men. The trouble arose in Tacoma, where the | crew was shipped for England by a board- | ing-house runner. The runner, accom- | panied by the sailors and the British Con- | sul, boarded the ship and the seamen | signed the articles, supposing that they would later on be permitted to go ashore and bring off theirclothing. This liberty, however, was refused, bui the runner agreed to send the sailcrs’ effects aboard. | Just before the ship sailed the men’s| canvas bags and chests were sent out, but | instead of being filled with clothing they were found to contain old grain sacks and rubbish. One man had twelve ragged | vests in his bag, and another’s wardrobe | counsisted of ladies’ undergarments. Nat- | | | county Board of Supervisors appointed delegates as follows: Justus Greely, D. P. Donahoe and T. J. Sherwood, Marysville; D. P. Durst, Wheatland, and _James O'Brien, Smartsyille. it Mo DENIED AT PORT TOWNSEND. Judge Scott Scouts the Rumored Engage- ment of His Niece to General Harrison. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Jan. 7.— There is more than ordinary interest felt here in the gossip concerning the probable marriage of General Benjamin Harrison and Mrs. Dimmock, because the lady's uncle, Judge Scott, a brother of the late | Mrs. Harrison, has resided here for the pest six years, and isone of Port Town- send’s most popular citizens. Judee Scott has always corresponded with General Harrison since coming here and appears toenjoy a certain degree of confidence of the latter, probably owing to the tact that he has quiteas good a reputation for being discreet with his thoughts and speech as has the ex-Presi- dent himself. When questioned about the gossip Judge Scott blushed and protested he knew nothing of it. “There’s just about as much probability of General Harrison and Mrs. Dimmock marrying as that you and I will marry each other,” he said to the gentleman who questioned him when his attention was called to a United Press dispatch telling | of the general housecleaning going on at the Harrison home in Indianapolis. Judge Scott declared that was nothing unusual, but his manner left a strong im- pression that even if the marriage should take place and surprise him it would be a rather pleasant surpris e FOR EUREKA'S PROGRESS the Enterprises Fostered by Humboldt Self-Help As- sociation. Leading Business Men Banded Together to Work for the Town's Ad- vancement. EUREKA, Civ., Jan. 7.—An organiza- tion which is doing much for Eureka and Humboldt is the Humboldt Seli-Help As- sociation, an organization formed in 1895, and now having a membership of about 150 of the leading business men of the county, and rapidly enlaring its member- ship. As the name suggests, the motto of the organization is *‘Self Help,” the turn- ing to advantage the native wealth in the county now lying dormant, the fostering of the industries now in existence, and aiding the creation of the industries yet to be. Already the organization has done much good by nspiring citizens of this commu- nity with the desire to support local indus- tries. Plans are in contemplation for the J. F. COONAN, President. S. I. ALLARD, Secretary. urally the men were enraged, but this was ; not their only complaint. The captain paid the runner $40 advance money for each man, and this sum the boarding- house man appropriated to his own use, altnough in some instances the men had been with him only two days. The captain contends that the trouble is no fault of his, and consequently he will force the men to perform their duty. — - PORT ANGELE Damage Caused by Excessive Rains and Melting Snows. | | PORT ANGELES, Wasn., Jan. 7.—With- ! | | FLOODED. | in a few hours last night 1.37 inches of rain fell here, which, with the melting snows 1n the mountains, turned the nu- merous streams in this vicinity into rag- ing torrents. Bridges are down in all| parts of the county and many landslides | nave done great damage. The ‘creek which runs down Valley street in this city tore down bridges and sidewalks along its | course, and an unoccu{.ied cottage was | landed on its side in the middle of the | stream. Residents along this stream were | up all night, expecting to see their houses washed out into the bay. SAN BERNARDINO TANGLE. | Horticultural Commission Members Refuse to Give Way to a New Appointee. SAN BERNARDINO, Can., Jan. 7.— Horticultural Commission affairs in this county are badly mixed, and a lively war is looked for when it comesto determining | who is Commissioner. The Board of Supervisors, acting under the authority of the amendment passed by thelast Legislature, providing for a one- man commission, reduced the county board from three to one, and for that one put in a new man. The old Commis- sioners are to make a fight, as they claim that the Board of Supervisors has no right to reduce the number of Commis- sioners. They have retained an attorpey, and will fight the case to a finish. Their attor- ney said to a CALL correspondent: “Ti.e board is wrong in this move, as the one-man commission applies only to those counties where no commission ex- 1sted when the amendment became a law; but there is no provision authorizing the Supervisors to reduce the number of Com- missioners now existing. *When a man is elected to any position he is expected to serve not only his term of office but until his successor is ready to take up the duties of the ofice. I wiil fight the case in any form it comes up.” The ola members will recognize Mr. Pease as the successor of Collins, resigned, but whether Pease will recognize them as Commissioners or not is a question. et DMarysville’s Delegates Named.

FRESND QT DEFRAUDED, Grand Jury Charges Found Upon Investigation to Have Been Groundless. The Claims for Bookbinding Work in County Offices Were Not Excessive. FRESNO, Car., Jan. 7.—The committee from the Board of Superyisors, consisting of Supervisors Garrett, Rose and Sayre, which was appointed to investigate the bookbinding job done by Armstrong & Deguerre of San Francisco, in the Re- corder's and Auditor's offices of this county, rendered a report to-day. It was to the effect that the bill of $1899 presented by the firm for the work should be allowed, aiter deducting §54 50. This was the dif- ference between the committee’s experted valuation of the work and the claim, The Teport was approved. his was the bookbinding work over which the Grand Jury made such a sensa- tional report a few weeks ago. The Grand Jury valued the work at only $600, which, it seems, was the valuation put upon it by a rival bookbinder who hsE failed to get the contract. 4 B Indians Fight to the Death. FRESNO, CaL., Jan. 7.—Word reached this city this evening that in a fight be- tween two Indians on Sycamore Creek, in yesterday, one was THE WRATH OF BUDD, Editor Raymond Is in High Disfavor at the Capitol. MAY LOSE HIS POSITION. The Governor Deplores the Thou- sands Spent in Revising a Grammar. FURTHER EXPENSE STOPPED. Mr. Raymond’s Assistants Are Put in Full Charge of the Work. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 7.—Tbat W. H. V. Raymond is not in good favor with the State Board of Public Instruction and the chief executive was made a very evi- dent fact at the board’s session to-day. That he has buta slight tenure on his office is also very evident, and that the school- book editor's easy chair may become | vacant in the near future seemsnot im- probable. To quote the exact words of Governor Budd, the proposition is simply this: “Iv will be but a short time until there will be nothing to do, and I do not intend. if I can help it, that the State shall pay Raymond $250 a month for doing nothing. I bave something to say in this matter, and I intend to say it. If Mr. Raymond | does not do anything he won’t getany pay. As president of the State Board of Education I am called upon to sign the warrant for the salary of the editor-in- chief of the schoolbooks. As a member of the State Board of Examiners I pass upon his claim. “The fund is about exhausted, and we will have to look out for every cent ex- pended on schoolbooks. At the present time we have a staff of editors drawing | large salaries and doing absolutely noth- | ing. As far asIam concerned, I believe that as the two women have done the work on this grammar they should be retained until the work is finished. I would like to see those ladies.”” When they appeared the Governor ques- tiored Miss Murphy, and she replied that she and Mrs. George had frrnished the manuscript for the work, but that Mr. Raymond had assisted them. They wrote it, a lesson at a time, frequently rewriting | a lesson two or three times. They all conferred together and passed upon the work untif it was satisfactory to all. The Governor asked her when she thought the work could be completed, along the line of Professor Lange’s corrections, and she said in about two months. “I would be willing to work all summer on that book for nothing,” Miss Murphy | said, “‘because I take a pride in it,” “Ican understand that,’”’ the Governer replied; “and I would suggest that you be allowed two months in which to com- plete the work.” This was put in the form of a motion | and carried. The Governor then asked what work there was for Mr. Raymoud to do, and | Professor Pieice said that he believed he | could be kept busy in looking after the | grammar when it went to the printer the second time. Mr. Raymond said that this | was so—that he would bave to follow the grammar through the hands of the State Printer. The Governor suggested that as the two womeu had done all the work on the book, in his opinion they were the proper persons to look after it and read the proof, if it were right that the editors shonld read proof. ““For my part,” he said, “I don’t see why the proofreader in the State Printing Office would not be the proper person to do the work, as he is under a salary of $4 50 per day for doing that kind of work. And I see no reason why Raymond should be retained,” he added. “There is nothing to do.” Professor Keilogg moved to stop e torial work on the histories and arith- metic, which motion was carried. The Governor then suggested that Superin- tendent Black be authorized to stop all salaries of editors as soon as there was nothing to do. Some one asked him what his motion meant. “It means,”’ said the Governor, “that I do not propose, if I can help it, that the State shall pay an editor- in-chief $250 a month for doing nothing. Furthermore, I believe that all, or nearly all, the work done on that grammar was done by his two assistants. Miss Anna C. | Murphy and Mrs. Mary C. George.” The Governor sald that he was sorry that the history could not be got out, but that it was evidently impossible. He referred to the advanced history. He be- lieved that the appropriation was sufficient to compiete the primary history. Secretary of State Brown presented a plan to the board, which he deems to be nighly advantageous to the school chiidren of the State, as far as the purchase of text- | books 1s concerned. He stated that in preparing data he found that California pupils had paid at least $128,000 more for their books than had been received by the State for their issuance. This was the profits of the middle men, and be proposed to remedy this evil by expressing the books directly to the counties for distribution. His sug- gestion was received with favor, and was referred to a committee consisting of the Secretary of State, State Printer and Superintendent of Public Instruction.

SEATTLE, Waer., Jan, 7.—A. S. Feek of Seattle who traveled extensively in re- cent years in South Africa, residing some | by the Venezuelan Government. | deals particularly with the Western bound- ernment, incited and backed financially | the Dr. Jameson invasion. He says: “The Transvaal republic is undoubtedly the greatest goid-producing country in the world, and the English did not know its wealth when theyv drove the Dutch Boers in there from Cape Colony. Learning their mistake they want to gain possession of the territory. I think they were in league with Dr. Jameson, and have been using him to the end of securing control. Dr. Jameson I know personally, and he has the reputation in Johannesburg of being a schemer and adventurer.’ The Kaffirs, Mr. Feek says, are more friendly to the English than to the Boers, | because the latter have had wars with them ani have occupiad their lands.

Lugrin of this city bas in his possession | the original manuscript of a report made to the British Government in 1781 by a Commissioner appointed to define the boundaries of Dutch Guiana. The report makes a book of nearly 400 pages and con- | tains a description of every settlement and vlantation in Dutch Guiana, which is now claimed by the British, and names all the original grantees from the Dutch Govern- ment. It defines the boundaries of the territory claimed by the Dutch, French, Spanish and Portuguese at that time, in addition to a large amount of other ex- tremely valuable information. At the request of Lord Salisbury, Mr. Lugrin is about to forward the book to the English Premier for inspection by the British Government. The report has been in his possession for a number of years, and as far as he is able to learn, was taken | to Canada from New York by one of the United Empire Lovalists at the close of the Revolutionary War. The report does not bear out the full claim made by the British Government, but entirely disposes of the full claim made The book was compiled for the British Government with a view of showing the limits of the Dutch possessions, and was compiled adversely to Dutch interests.
