THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1896. SALT LAKE CAMPAIGN, Senatorial Aspirants Are Diligently Seeking Votes. TRUMBO'S RISING STAR. His "hance to Secure the Plum Appears Now to Be the Best. SOME SUPPORT FOR CANNON. Many Infiuential Friends Are Stren- uously at Work in His Behalf, SALT LAKE, Urag, re is Now in s 13.—The State ssion, ma: ocen- ce to the v a bill was enacted Courts, ete. The t ballot for United States Sena- tors will be taken on Tuesday, January 21, and in meantime the candidates are each and all waging a vigorous campaign. Most of them have opened headquarters at one or another of the leading hotels and are freely hospitality to all comers, memb: the Legislature in particular. George Q. although he has never vet formally declared himself a can- didate, has a half dozen or more influen- tial men w g strenuously in his be- half, and there is no doubt but that he would accept the office if it were tendered bim. There is just a little doubt that it will be tendered. Mr. Cannon has until to-day refrained from announcing what his politics were, but to-night it is authoritatively put forth that he is a stanch Republican, believing in protection and bounties and also in the free coinage of silver. Of the active candidates Arthur Brown has a strong following and will in all vrobability lead Judge Bennett. Colonel Trumbo’s chances, however, ap- pear o be the best. He is daily making friends, and is considered by many the most capable man to represent the State in the Senate. Moreover, he has the sup- port of many of the leaders of the Mormon Church, including that of Presidents Woodruff and George Q. Cannon. dispensin - Appointments for Utah. SHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.—The ent to-day sent to the Senate the g nominations: J. to be United States District Judge he District of Utah; J. W.Judd of to be United States Attorney for the District of Utah; M. M. Brigham of Utah to be Ma L oi the United States for the District of Utah. BN ALOKG THE C0ST Farmers and Orchardists of the State Are Benefited by a Downpour, Moisture and Warm Weather Give an Impetus to Growing Fruit and Grain. s , Jan. 13.—A steady, light, warm rain of .60 of an inch fell to- day, making a total of about four inches for the season, which should have been four times that quantity to meet the average. The weather for several weeks past has been warm and bright, and farmers have complained for nearly a month., They welcome to-day’s rainfall as the salvation of crops, though it was not so badly needed as in the Salinas Valley, where only slight rain had fallen up to 7 o’clock this evening. Reports from Watsonville say rain began at 2 o’clock this afterncon and is general throughout the Pajaro SONOMA FARM RS PLEASED. Growing Fruit Greatly Benefited by the Moisture. BANTA ROSA, CaL., Jan. 13.—A warm rain fell steadily here to-day, and growers of all kinds of produce and stockmen are jubilant. The clear, snappy weather of the past few weeks has brought out a profusion of fruit buds, but prevented their abnormal growth before gaining strength and vigor to offset frosty mornings that may come later. The present rain and warm weather will rapidly force growing crops and the feed on the ranges will soon be in fine condition. BENEFITS THE GRAIN. Merced Farmers Sre Rejoicing Over the Gentle Downpour. MERCED, Car.,, Jan. 13. — The cold frosty weather prevailing here the past month broke up this morning in a gentle rain. A better feeling is aiready noticea- ble amone farmers. as the young grain was sadly in need of ramn. It has come at the right time, and will do a vast amount of good. The grain sown in the sand north of this city is in splendid condition, and this rain will force its growth. Stockmen share in the general good feeling over the arrival of the long- looked-for downpour. = Santa Clara County Drenched: SAN JOSE, CAL.,Jan. 1 1t began rain- ing about noon, and continued with slight interruptions all the afternoon.

CAREON, NEv., Jan. 13,—United States District Attorney Jones to-day found fifty | taels of opium buried in one of the stalis | at the racetrack. Lee Brooks, who hid the drug there, recently left town and now is | serving sentence in the Washoe County | Jail for defrauding a Reno man out of $60. | A man named Jordan, who occupied a cell with Brooks in jail some time ago, was his confidante, and learned that Brooks had a quantity of opium buried in one of the stalls at the Carson racetrack. Brooks wanted him, as soon as he was released from custody, to take the opium away so | officers would not find it. Jordan, instead | of doing as requested, Immediately in- | formed the Sheriif of Washoe County and | he came over yesterday and told the United States Disirict Attorney, Together they went to the track and found one case of opium, containing fifty boxes. Some of it was a mixture of molasses, etc., with which Brooks and his partner, Harry Butts, are supposed to have duped unsuspecting Chinamen, presumably show- ing them good opium and then selling the mixture, which wassimilar to it in appear- | ance, Three hundred pounds of the same | wixture was recently found at Washoe | BATTLE WITH A TYPHOON, Lieutenant Hortralto of the Balti- more Writes of His | Experience. Prophetic Foresight of Captain Day Probably Prevented a Great Marine Disaster. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 13.—A letter given to Captain Harrman of the Asiatic liner Rhosina at Honolulu gives a vivid account of the recent perils undergone by the cruiser Baltimore during her recent voyage from Yokohama, an account of which has already been published in THE Carr. The letter was written by Lieuten- | ant Hortralto, and gives some facts not published heretofore. It follows: United States Steamer Baltimore, Hono- lulu, Dec. 26.—The United States steamer Baltimore arrived in this port on Decem- ber 23, after a long and eventful passage from Yokohama. The news of the Olym- pia’s arrival on tha Asiatic station reached us in Shnn%hfli, just when the admira], despairing of ever hearing from the relief ship, had decided to sail for Hongkong | and South China. Had the telegram been | one day later we would have headed gouth, and perhaps might have escaped our subsequent misfortunes. On Decem- ber 3 we left Yokohama and the Asiatic station. With a foresight that seems almost pro- | phetic, and that no doubt most materially assisted the ship in her hour of trial, Captain Day had all movable weights in the ship disposed so as to increase the sta- bility, laying great stress on having hulky things put as low as possible. The yards were sent down and topmast struck, so that all was made snug for whatever | weather we might encounter. { On the 5th the gale was upon us, the | barometer falling fast and a heavy sea run- ning, with the wind from east northeast. | The engines had to be slowed down to keep | the seas fromh boarding the cruiser. Nex;l | | day the weather grew even worse, Heavy vept the decks, doing much damage chests and gear. By midnight the gale had reached a most unusnal violence, the ship barely crawling through the water. ‘ About 2 A.M. on the 7ti the forestay parted. Two men, P. Jessen, boatswain’s | mate, second class, and J. Shehan, ordi- nary seaman, ventured out on the | forecastle to secure this gear, when ! an enormous sea boarded the ship, sweep- ing overthe forecastle. Jessen was washed | overboard in spite of frantic efforts to hold on to_ the breakwater, gun-carriage and | rail. He could be clearly seen riding on a high comber past the stern. Life-buoys | were thrown to him, but it would have | been suicidal to lower a boat, so this prave | man was lost. | Shehan, who saw the sea coming, had secured a hold on the foreyard, lowered on | deck, but was wrenched from this position | by the sea and washed forward, then aft | again, striking in various places, and finally landed on the lower deck, where | he was picked up unconscious. His leg | was badly contused, but he is doing nicely | now. | This sea was but one of many. In the | morning of the 8th the gale reached its | height; the sea was tremendous. Obser- | vations taken show that the water reached | the wholly unprecedented height of 75 feet, the barometer still falling, reaching its lowest point on the morning of the 9th, | 5. During the height of the gale a chest s washed against the quarterdeck wheel, caromed against the quartermaster doing duty named Goodman, and carry- ing away the wheel. Goodman was in- jured, but not fatally. We then changed to steer by the forward wheel, and in the interval the ship was skillfully steered by use of the twin screws. R e STANFORD DEBATES. Students Will Discuss the Nicaragua Canal Question. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Jan. 13.—The second lecture of the series of preliminary debates is scheduled to take place to-morrow evening in place of the usual weekly lecture. The question on which arguments are to be given is: *“Re- solved, That the United States should build, own and operate the Nicaragua Canal.” H. D. Sheldon '% and F. C. Doty ’96 are on the affirmative side of the auestion, while the negative will be repre- sented by J. L. R. Haffey ’98 and Out- calt *96. ~ Considerable interest is being taken in these debates by the students gen- erally and the second debate promises to be fully as interesting as any that will take place. The heavy rains which fell here to-day prevented the first day’s baseball practice which was to have taken place. The dia- wond is in excellent condition, however, and practice will take place daily as soon as the weather permits. Trackmen and field athletes will get down to work within a week, and from the material in sight Stanford should make a good showing on the next intercollegiate field-day. TR el San Jose Medal- Winners. SAN JOSE, CAn. Jan. 13.—At the| monthly shoot of Company B, N.G. C., vesterday afternoon, Lieutenant Searle won the handsome medal recently won from the Schuetzen Verein team.” Ser- geant: Hubback won the championship class medal. The class medals were won as follows: Private Wright, first class: Sergeant Munn, second class; Private Hannay, third class; Private Wood, fourth class, e e Choynaki to Retire Soon. NEW YORK, N, Y., Jan. 13.—Joe Choynski, the California heavy-weight pugilist, arrived in this city late Sunday evening, and early this morning began the fimshmghwuches of his training for the bout with Jim Hall before the New York Athletic Club. Choynski says he is in first-class condition and never felt better in his life, and if he does not win next Monday night ke will quit fighting for- ever. ' Phenomenal Run SANTA CRUZ SALHAON, in the Bay of Monterey Continues. HUNDREDS ARE CAUGHT. Scores of Sportsmen Engaged in Bagging the Gamy Rovers of the Sea. ATTRACTION FOR VISITORS. San Franciscans Disport Themselves With Success in Realms Piscatory. SANTA CRUZ, CAL,, Jan. 13.—The phe- nomenal run of salmon in the bay of Mon- terey continues. The fishermen and sportsmen who went out to-day bagged an aggregate catch of more than 500. There were twenty boats out, in spite of the steady rainfall that began early this morn- ing, and the greater part of these carried two or three persons. The fish have been running since last Thursday, but to-day’s catch 1s the big- gest, and would no doubt have been doubled had the weather not driven many | of the fishezmen in early in the atternoon. Boarders immediately hurried to his res- cue, but in the meantime the ruffians made good their escape, leaving a bloody cudgel and a hat behind. The men were evidently familiar with the entrance to the building, and it is thought their intention was to rob the barkeeper, who was the first to open up the house. The Chinaman wiil lose his left eye, and his face is severely cut. s o e CAPE BEALE WRECK. A Schooner Believed to Be the Kilm eny Oriven Upon the Rocks—Fate of the Crew Unknown. VICTORI1A, B, C., Jan. 13.—The second wreck occurring within the last fortnight on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island has just been reported, and from meager particulars received it is believed that tne lost vessel was the litrle sealing schooner Kilmeny of this port, she having left here for the west coast to secure an In- dian crew on Friday last. Her identity, though not positively known, is pretty well guessed at from the information that the last letter of her name is “Y.” The news was first brought to Alberni by Indians, who stated that a schooner was on the rocks five miles west of Cape Beale. Thinking that this news had refer- ence to the bark Janet Cowan &t Carmanah Point, William Christie, the manager of the Canadian Pacific Railroad office, who got the telegram, paid little attention to it, and having to leave town at the time made no 1nquiry until yesterday morning, when he received the following messace from Alberni: Mrs. Patterson, who has just arrived from Cave Beale, corroborates the report that a schooner is wrecked at Bamfield Creek. She is a total wreck. Thelast letter of her name is “‘y,”” and she thinks the letter r”” is also in the name. The Kilmeny was a twenty-ton vessel, built here in 1894, and was under charter | to Captain M. Hallgram. Her crew con- | inner steel bottom. The boilers and en- | sisted of Mate A. Anderson, C.

VALLEJO, CaL., Jan. 13.—The Ranger and Unadtilla were both placed in the drydeck the latter part of the week, it | being the first time since its completion that two vessels of this class have been placed in the dock at the same time. The hulls of each have been scraped and will be given two or three coats of paint.

They were caught differently from last summer, when they bit at a spinning bait at the end of a fifty-foot troll. | On this occasion the boat was anchored and the fish were two feet from the bottom, and the men fished with a hand-line—no rod. About twenty boats were out on Friday and they averaged twenty-five each. the fishing went on until dark.] CATCH OF SANTA CRUZ No fish are caught before 10 A. . SALMON.

Fish Commissioners Murdoch and Emeric, who returned to San Francisco to-dey, said they believed tbe fish would remsin here until the water in the Sacra- mento River became muddy from the rains. - John R. Chace, proprietor of the Ocean House, went out this morning with that famous fisherman, “Big Jim” Jackson, and was rewarded with fifty-five handsome | specimens, which he immediately shipped by rapid express to E. T. Allen & Co., 416 Market street, where they will be exhibited to-morrow. Mr. Chace named twenty-one of his fish-eating friends there, each of whom is to have a fish, the remainder to be retained by Mr. Allen. THE CaLL is remembered. Of this catch the heaviest fish weighed is twelve pounds and the lightest four pounds, The whole country is enthusiastic over the fishing, as it is the first heavy run of salmon for five years, and is attracting visitors from San Francisco and other points. —_— SANTA CRUZ WHITECAPS. A Man and Woman Ordered by Citizens to Leave Town. SANTA CRUZ,CAL., Jan. 13.—The Grand Jury will sit here on Wednesday, and will have considerable business to transact, if indications can be depended upon. It is reported to-night that the action of a num- ber of citizens on Saturday night, who ordered a man named Sanborn and his wife out of town, will be investigated. Sanborn and his wife,who are very poor, were charged by their neighbors with ill- treating a little girl whom they had taken into work for her board. The charges were of a verv bad character, incriminating the woman as an accessory to her husband. The party of sixty who called upon them Saturday night was headed by Judge Crag- hill, a Justice of the Peace, who informed Mrs. Sanborn that unless they leit town within ten days they would be prosecuted, Sanborn himself had left just before tha | party arrived. He came back Sunday, but left again this morning. The woman, who claimed that the child lied abont her treatment, insisted on tell- ing her side of the story, which was denied her. She complained yesterday that she was withont a ‘place to | stay; that the promise to buy their shanty by the party of visitors developed into a $5 riece only, when the place was worth at least $200. The woman is very bitter against the people who ordered her out of town, and as she has several days to remain is likely to tell her story to :ga Grand Jury. BOLD SUISUN BURGLARS. Murderous Assault Made Upon a Chinese Cook in a Hotel. SUISUN, CAL., Jan. 13.—Burglars made 2 murderous assault upon a Chinese cook in L Buzzini's hotel at an early hour this morning. Two men had broken into the building and were in the dining-room, through which the Chinaman passed on the way to the kitchen. He received a stunning blow and raised an alarm. Grand, George McLean and H. J. Clark. Whether all have been lost could not be ascertained to-day, but it seems strange that if any survived they would not have made their way to a telegraph office near by and repor: the matter. The weather on the coast has been very stormy of late. SANTA BARBARA ROMANCE, Pedro Ruiz Wants Pay for Hav- ing Boarded and Nursed Augustus Den. Sensational Claim Filed Against a Recently Wedded Scion of Aristocracy. SANTA BARBARA, Can, Jan. 13— Santa Barbara is prolific in sensational lawsuits. hour to-day by Pedro Ruiz acainst Au gustus H. Den, a member of an aristo. cratic family of native Californians and one of the heirs of the late Dr. Den of Los Angeles. ¥ Aungustus Den was recently married to Miss Devine, a daughter of Judge Devine of Sacramento, and close upon the heels of this wedding ceremony comes the astonishing claim of Ruiz, who declares that for twenty-four years he has ““housed, boarded, cared for and nursed the said Augustus H. Den,” and he demands there- for the modest sum of $24,000. SR THEIE CAPTIVE AN HEIR, Identity of the Man Who Will Sue Los Angeles Policemen. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Jan. 13— People who were interested in James L. Fitzgerald, the Santa Barbara claimant to an Irish estate cm\sistinivnf $6,000,000, have been marveling over Fitzgerald’s un- accountable disappearance, which oc- curred last October. The solution of the mystery is apparently found in a recent dispatch from Los Angeles to Trr CavLr, which stated that international complica- tions were threatened in the proposed damage suit of one J. L. Fitzgerald, who alleged that while quietly and peaceably walking along the streets of that city in October he was forcibly seized by four minions of the law and hurried off to the City Jail, from which he had only re- cently been released. He acknowledged that he made violent resistance to this outrage, both before ana after his incar- ceration. Aegl As Fitzgerald suffered a similar extraor- dinary experience in Santa Barbara, which he resisted in the same violent manner, and afterward related the episode in pre- cisely the same phraseology as appears in the Los Angeles dispatch, there is little doubt but that the m\asingI heir has been rediscovered and that the Los Angeles po- lice have been entertaining a second Roger Tichborne unaware e Fate of @ Merced Bandit.' MERCED, CAL., Jan. 13.—Frank Kellett, charged with robbing the Coulterville- Merced stage last summer, pleaded guilty in the Superior Court to-day, and was sen- tenced by Judge Law to ten years at San Quentin, The latest was filed at a late | quire but very little work outside of the labor employed in unfastening and fasten- | ing them in the ship. After this work | nas been completed the ship will be re- | commissioned. The engines of the monitor Comanche have been run and turrets revolved, each being found in excellent order. In nearly all respects the monitor is good for a long time to come. During the coming week | she will be again hauled out to her former | berth at one of the upper buoys. If there had been sufficient men to have manned her she would undoubtedly have been given a bay trial, which it is considered should be done, even if for the time being | acrew has to be taken from the Adams, to familiarize the men with her workings. The next time she leaves the buoy it will be to take her in dock to be painted. The monitor Monterey will leaye the yvard Tuesday for Sausalito or San Fran- cisco. If she goes first to the City it will be for the purpose of securing a number of men to complete her crew, which is short, owing to the transfer of a portion to the Boston before the latter left the yard. The Albatross is expected to leave the | yard within a couple of weeks for San | Francisco, there to remain some time. Several new skylights are being made for | her at the yard. She is newly painted and | makes a fine appearance lying alongside the wharf. Word was received from the department at Washington last week asking how long it would take to put the Monadnock into | condition for sea. It was also ordered that | a force of men be put upon her to hasten the work. It will be the 1st of March be- fore she can be pronounced actually in readiness. The after guns have been hoisted in the turrets and their long muzzles now point outboard in threaten- ing insolence. The other two guns will be set as soon as possible. There is much yet to be done, though it is mostly the fin- ishing of the work in hand. This, how- | ever, could be done after she was in com- mission, if it was required to fit her for actual service before the 1st of March. The Monadnock is already assuming a monitor- like appearance, and with the Monterey and Comanche lying in San Francisco Bay the residents of the metropolis can rest assured that no battle-ship could come in through the Golden Gete without the es- pecial aid of a divine providence. There are scarcely any old man-of-war’s men at the yard, or on either of the ships or ‘“‘guards,” but say they would take their chances in the Comanche and fight her against two ships of the class of the Balti- more and Boston, or against any battle- ship afloat. There is but little on her for a target, while the cruisers and battle-ships are so high out of water that they would be “easy game’’ for gunners. The Adams is nearly ready and will prob- ably be sent down to Honolulu withina short time. The Petrel and Baltimore and perhaps the Bennington are the next vessels to come to the yard and it is very necessary they should be here before long if it is pro- posed to retsin the present working force in the steam engineering department. | good {friend and a bad enemy. Something unusuat was to be expected of the Monterey in view of the order sent down to stow 200 tons extra of coal and to put on all the provisions that could be stowed aboard. This has been done, but it is learned that the monitor will simply hover between here and San Diego and Santa Barbara. The orders are to keep in touch with the flagship Philaaelphia for the present with headquarters at San Diego. From there the Philadelphia will go to Santa Barbara unless present plans are changed. No one can tell what the cipher dispatches to Admiral Beardslee are when they are received from the de- partment except Flag-Lieutenant Stoney and the admiral aiter they have worked them out. The system is so carefully guarded that in passing over the lines no one can gain the faintest idea of their im- port. HELD TO THEIR CONTRACT. West Virginia Brewers Made to Pay for Purchased Hops. SANTA ROSA, Car., Jan. 13.—A tele- gram has been received in Santa Rosa an- nouncing the victory of Horse Bros., the Sacramento hop-buying firm, over the Raymond Brewing Company of Wheeling, W. Va. The brewing company bought a large invoice of hops from Horse Bros., and upon delivery refused to receive them, claiming they were not first-quality hops. These hops were raised in Mendocino and Sonoma counties, and depositions of a large number of growers here were re- cently taken by hop experts and forwarded to Wheeling. The court decided that the hops were up to first-grade standard, and the sale contract was sustained. The bottom fell out of the hop market soon after the sale was consummated, and this is supposed to have been the cause of the trouble. duotogees Arvested at Petaluma. SANTA ROSA, Car., Jan. 13.—Frank Ruske, charged with grand larceny, was arrested last night at Petaluma by Deputy Sheriff Dougherty. Ruske broke into a little store in Santa Rosa Friday night and stole valuable plunder. He is also charged with forgetting to pay a board bill here. THE HEALDSBURG FEUD, Further Bloodshed Feared When Rose Recovers From His ‘Wounds. He Refuses to Prosecute Truitt and Says He Will Settle the Matter in His Own Way, S8ANTA ROSA, Car., Jan. 13.—Now that J. W. Rose, the Healdsburg man recently shot by R. K. Truitt, a fellow-townsman, is rapidly improving, the public are giv- ing opinions on what may follow when the men meet again. It is reported on good authority that Rose has refused to appear against Truitt in the courts, saying that he would settle the matter in his own way when he was fully recovered. Friends of both men are fearful that one of them will be killed in the near future. Rose, the wounded man, is known asa He has strong likes and dislikes and does not hesitate to express decided opinions about men and things. He isa man of magn cent physique, being considerably over six feet in height and well proportioned. He is a veteran of the late war and occupies a prominent place in G. A. R. circles. Brigadier-General Warfleld of the Califorma Hotel, in San Francisco, for- merly a Healdsburg banker, can testify to the strong enmity Rose brings to béar on persons he dislikes. R. K. Truitt, the man who did the shoot- ing, is considered capable of taking care of himself. He, too, is a war veteran. He served the first two years with the Confed- erates, then made his escape by swimming the Red River and joined the Union forces then operating in Texas. Since settling in Healdsburg he has been interested in stock, in addition to other pursuits. He was a peace officer for a number of years. His later life has been one in which a gun is considered a handy adjunct, and he bas the reputation of be- ing lively on the draw and able to place his bullets about where he pleases. Owing to the prominence of both men, ively interest is taken in the affair and there is being evinced all over the county much speculation, not unmixed with ap- prehension as to the future.
