EXODUS FROM COOK'S INLET, Returning Miners Crowd Every Vessel From Alaska. HAVE FOUND NO GOLD. Men Who Inaugurated the Boom Are Threatened With Lynching. HUNDREDS ARE PENNILESS. They Declare the Boasted El Dorado Is Barren of Hidden Wealth. SEATTLE, Wasg., July 20.—Eighty-two prospectors who left Cook’s Inlet as late as June 25, are ready to vote that much vaunted country one of the greatest min- ing fakes ever boomed in the West. By the steamships Willapa and Al-Ki, which arrived from the north this morning, a majority of these miners reached this city. More will'come on the next steamer. A few found work in Juneau, and a half dozen got work at Kodiak. Prospectors are now flocking from the inlet by every kind of craft they can get away in. The schooner Port Admiral left there on June 22 with all it could carry for Seattle, but it has not reached this port. Among all the 2000 or more gold seekers who went up in the spring, not a single man, these returned miners declare, had up to June 25, found a claim that justified working. At least a dozen of the dissp- pointed men arriving here to-day were interviewed, and all told the same story. Not one could be found who had a single sample of gold dust with him. Of work at the inlet there was none. Men offered to work for those having what they calied good claims for $1 to $150 a day, supply their own tools and board themselves, but could get nothing to do. Indignation has been running high against the few men instrumental in get- ting the rush started last spring. Among these are Dusey & Ladd of San Francisco end Wakefield & Jefferson of Beattle. Ladd runs a fish-salting station; Dusey a store at Sunrise City. They carried upa lot of southerners on the Albion. Wake- field & Jefferson carried people on the Lakme from Seattie. Threats of lynching Dusey, Wakefield and Jefferson were freely made. Dusey became alarmed, sold his store and quietly left the inlet, and is said to have hidden in the hills somewhnere near Kodiak. Wakefield, who came out some time ago, was met ut Sitka by returning prospectors, and was advised 16 turn back. He persisted in going on, and was warned to be on the lookout. “I hope that nothing will bappen to bim,” said Charles Hicks, owner of a ma- chine shop and foundry in this city, and who is one of the returning parties to-day; “but I am very much afraid that Wake- field will never come back.” Almost the same thing was said by others. Among the men here to-night from Cook’s Inlet are J. C. Brockway, oneljof seven from San Diego who formed the San Diego Mining Company and spent about $3000 in outfiting; C. H. Anderson of Colorado, Ed. Teviin of Montana, J. A. Mathhorn, Olaf Woodhouse, T. W. Stone of Salem, Charles Morgan, Jack Perkins of this city, all of whom are old miners. These men say that from 500 to 700 men at the inlet have not money to get out of the country, and there is no way of earn- ing it. One stranded Oregon crowd offered to work for $1 59 a day to earn money to bring them out. They could not get it. At Bitka the men called on Governor Sbeakley and laid the case of the stranded mer before him. The Governor said he would have to send a relief vessel to bring them out. 'Lere l!dpllnt’ of provisions there yet. Flour sold as low as 50 cents a sack, Brockway of San Diego sold his provisions for less money than paid for them in San Francisco, and out of about $600 spent for his outfit did not get back a cent. He leaves for San Diego in the morming. Hicks said: “I place the gross outlay paid by men going in there at $150,000, and scarcely any of this sum was got back. There never was a better body of men together than those who went to the inlet. They set to work and worked hard, and 1f there was any gold there they would have dis- covered it. The country has been given good (Frospacting for 200 cor 300 miles around the inlet and there’s nothing there. I took up three clalms on Canyon Creek, prospecting about thirty-five days in all, andbrought back just 18 cents. I'll sell the three claims for two bits to-day. The men braved all kinds of dangers and prospected every water-course. The Shushitna, Shu- wima, Kaneal and Indian rivers, Chilkarn, Kanic and Seattle creeks and all the other creeks were prospected thoroughly with- out success. They worked for bedrock, and thousands of holes were sunk at enor- mous labor and privation. I spent an en- tire day washing sand, and secured but five colors. None of the men can possibly make the costs of the trip, for the gold is not in the country. Many of the men thawed out their prospect holes with fires built in them to get the frost out of the grg]x‘md, 80 anxious were they to get bed- rock.” LB EA G RETURNING TO TACOMA. Penniless Miners Denounce the Alaska Gold- Country Boomers. TACOMA, Wasn., July 20.—Forty dis- heartened miners have arrived to-day from Cooks Inlet, and as many more who accompanied them to Juneau decided to try their fortunes in other parts of Alaska. Henry Brown, one of a large party which went North on the schooner Helen and May, says that after remaining at Cooks Inlet for two months prospecting in and around Sunrise City it suddenly dawned upon them that they were the victims of vessel-owners and their allies, who had held out such promising inducements re- garding wealth at Cooks Inlet. Brown is returning to his home in Penn- sylvania, which he left in February. He says that up to the time he left Suntise City (June 20? the snow was 8o deep that it was Hnpossible to prospect or work claims if found. Abont 2500 prospectors now at the inlet are compelled to do their pros- pecting on snowshoes. A large number of these men went into the country with supplies enough to last them only a month, expecting to find gold anonxz to pay their way through the season. They are now stranded and have to depend upon their more fortunate comrades for the necessities of life. They claim that such men as George Beade, George W. Carpen- ter and a man named Wakelfield of Seattle are responsible for their trouble and very strong talk is indulged in by those who bave been allured into going 30 far with no chance of making expenses. A large number of these men are in- debted to the Alaska Commercial Com- pany for supplies, and are obliged to work for the company in payment. Brown says the Commercial Company has the whole country “located,” and what little zold is taken out has to be divided with it. Little sickness is reported, but deaths have occurred from drowning in Turn- again Arm. Men are going out of the country as fast as they can, and much distress will be experiencea before winter sets in. Brown, who claims to be familiar with coal mining, says the coal fields of Cooks Inlet are ilar to the gold fields—no good. The next steamer from the inlet will bring down 100 stranded miners. ASTRONOMICAL EXPEDITION. Scientists Leave Chicago for Arizona and Mexico to Study the Wonders of the Heavens. CHICAGO, Irn., July 20.—The pril?cl- vals in an astronomical expedition which men of science say is the most important one plannea for more than half a century left Chicago last night for Flagstaff, Ariz., to go eventually to Mexico. These ganl,l'e- men carried with them the best lens in the world, those of the Lick telescope and of the unfinished Yerkes telescope ex- cepted. With the favorable stmospheric and climatic conditions to be found in Arizona and in Mexico, the best known to astronomers on this continent, they expect to add volumes to the bistory of the planet Mars and to make the most Sy:a'gn’p atic survey ever attempted of the si'ereal systems which whirl through space around the southern hemisphere. Percival Lowell of Boston heads the ex- pedition. He will make observations on Mars. Dr. T. J. See of the University of Chicago goes along to study the stars, par- ticularly the double ones, and to make a complete survey of the southern heavens— an almost virgin field for the astronomer. Lowell will be assisted by A. E. Douglass, formerly of Harvard, and W. A. Cogshali of Grand Rapids, Mich. D. A. Drew, formerly of the University of Chicago, will assist Dr. See. Last, but not least, is Alvan G. Clark, the only surviving member of the old op- tical instrument-making firm of Cam- bridge, Mass. He goes to set up the new 24-inch telescope and may remain some time with the expedition. Professors Barnard and Burnham hope for excellent results from this expedition. It is on a larger scale, they say, and bet- ter equipped than any before attempted.

Father Yorke Addresses a Large Audience in Oakland. EULOGIZES DR. WENDTE The Catholic Champion Depre- cates Discrimination in the Schools. MAJOR SHERMAN UNDER FIRE, Statements Alleged to Have Been Maliciously Fabricated Denounced and Ridiculed. OAKLAND, CaL., July 20.—The Mac- donough Theater was crowded to-night. The announcement that Rev. P. C. Yorke, editor of the Monitor, was to lecture on “Tribulations of the Truth” brought to- gether a large audience from all parts of the county. But for the local law prohib- iting sitting in the aisles the audience would have been much larger. Rev. Dr. Friedlander of the First He- brew congregation was chairman of the eveuing, and in a brief speech he intro- duced the lecturer. After a musical number Rev. P. C. Yorke faced his hearers, who were as closely seated in the balcony and pallery as on the lower floor. The speaker referred BANKERS T0 THE RESCUE Will Subscribe $20,000,000 to Protect the Treasury Gold Reserve. No Immediate Cause for Alarm, but Another Bond Issme May Bz Necessary. NEW YORK, N. Y. July 20.—Steps were taken to-day to unite the principal National banks of this city in 8 movement to protect the Government gold reserve. Recent large withdrawals of gold from the sub-treasury tor shipment te Europe, the disposition manifested in certain financial quarters to hoard the yellow metal, and the panicky condition of the stock market bave caused some serious discussions among observant and public - spirited financiers within the past few days. Although no formal conferences were held, some of the leading bank presidents exchanged views and thc conclugion was reached that the aituation warranted ac- tion on the part of the banks, such as would allay public fears and revive con- fidence in the stability of values. Therefore, an earnest effort was made to get the New York banks to put $20,000,000 of gold into the sub-treasury in exchange for legal tenders. F. D. Tappan, president of the Gallatin National Rank, called at several of the banks downtown this morning, and pro- osed that as many of the banks as possi- Ele enter into an agreement to supply gold enough to the sub-treasury to carry the reserve above the $100,000,000 mark. Mr. Tappan’s mission was eminently suc- cessful. He found nearly all of his feliow bank presidents heartily in accord with the proposition submitted, and at noon he was able to say: “I am surprised and gratified at the readiness with which the requests for gold contributions have been complied with.” For the reason that all of the banks called on have not yet acted, Mr. Tappan and the bank presidents who were most active in their co-overation were disin- clined this evening to say how much gold had been pledged to the sub-treasury. “You may say,” said one the presidents, “that there wili be no trouble raising $12,- 000,000 or $15,000,000, and perhaps $20,000,- 000, to aid in maintaining the Treasury old reserve. Pledges were secured for at least $15,000,000." Henry W. Cannon, sresident of the Obase National Bank and formerly Comp- troller of the Currency, in an interview to-niFm regarding the large withdrawals of gold from the sub-treasury, said: time, but there is no need of people get- ting nervous or sacrificing their securities. ‘With $80,000,000 in the treasury gold re- serve I see no cause for worrying. Mr. Gleveland will be President until March 4 next, and I am satistied that so long as he is President he will not permit this coun- try to susvend gold payments. We have a low range of prices at this time, but we have an easy money market.”” WASHINGTON,” D. C., July 20.—The gold reserve to-day declined to $89,761,336, with withdrawals at $3,706,300, of which $3,080,000 was for export. The large amount of $676,000, taken presumably for ‘‘hoarding” purposes, was regarded un- favorably by treasury officials. A reassuring rumor which reached here to tue effect that the New York National banks have formed a pool aud will turn into the treasury a large amount in gold for legal tenders was well received at the treasury. It was pointed out that they were amply able to do so. In view of the fact that the treasury has lost, since July 1.$13,000,000 in gold, and present indications point to further with- drawals this week, officials who have had confidential relations with all former bond issues say that it will be much easier and more advantageous to the Government, if a bond issue has to be made, to do it be- fors the gold reserve reaches the limit of $60,000,000. If the National bankscome to the relief of the treasury a bond issue may be averted, at least for the next few months, FOUESTRITAY DER. JAMESON ON TRIAL. The Iransvaal Raider and His Follow- ers Arraigned. LONDON, Exag., July 20.—The trial of Dr. Jameson and his fellow-officers in the Transvaal raid, Hon. Henry F. Covertry, Major White, Major Sir John Willoughby and Colonel Grey, who were indicted by the Grand Jury for a violation of the for- eign enlistment act, began this morning in the Queen’s Bench District of the High Court of Justice before the three Judgn. Lord Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England Sir Henry Hawkins presiding) and Baron Pollock. The courtroom was crowded with friends of the accused. BSir Edward Clarke, the senior counsel for the defense, began by moving that the indictment be quashed, upon the ground that the case did not come under the operation of the foreign enlistment act, in which the defendants were charged. 8ir E. Webster, the Attorney-General, re- plied on behalf of the prosecution. The court then adjourned. gistrd S Slaughter of Christians. CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey, July 20.— Serious disturbances occurred at Niskar, in the vilayet of Sivas, between Mussul- mans snd Armenian Christians. Sixty of the formerand 340 of the lattér were killed. ‘I regret to see gold shipments at this to the subject of the recent controversy and said that there were controversialists who were fair and some who were unfair and some who were ignorant and some who were intelligent. From the category of the ignorant and the unfair he said he wanted to exclude very clearly Rev. Dr. ‘Wendte of the First Unitarian Church. “Dr. Wendte has brains and courage,’” said the lecturer, “and although in the heat of debate I may have made some pointed statements about him, I must say that I respect him. “It woula take me more than one night to recapitulate even the captions of the tribuletions that the truth has sustained since Protestants commenced to reform her. However, I can refer to a few that are uppermost.” Father Yorke referred to the many phases of ihe opposition to the Catholic church that had characterized the exist- ence of the A. P. A. “Perhaps the worst and most despicable was the so-called en- cyclical that was made public some months ago, and which declared, over the forged signature of the Pope, that on a cer- tain day all Catholics were to rise up and slaughter Protestants. “This thing was sent out from Oakland offices and coalyards and was believed by thousands of people in this city. Even after ex-priest Slattery had pronounced it a forgery it was not denied in the Prot- estant press, and those in Oakland who had been most active in circulating 1t had not the decency to deny it. “When St. Mary’s College burned down in Ozkland there were some old muskets found in the basement. The college cadets in their drill used them, and they woula be far more dangcrous to the man at the lock than the one before the muzzie. A | few days later Rev. Barton W. Perry of | Ban Leandro sent a letter to the Occident | 0f San Francisco, in which he stated that | he and two others were eye-witnesses to | the fact that 700 stands of arms were found in St. Mary’s, and that if the fire had not providentially occuired all the Protestants in OQakland might have been murdered in their beds by the brothers and lads who were training at the college for battle, it is true, but thejgreat battle of life. “Now I want to refer to an Oakland historian. 1envy you your clean streets and free air and the lovely hills surround- ing your city, but I do not begrudge a man who poses as a Mexican veteran, Major E. A. Sherman. Sherman has (mud as a truthful exhorter of Mexican War history. I have sent to the War De- gnnment for some of the statistics that herman claims to have, and I have here tbe answers that show ciearly that no such records were kept.” Father Yorke then read some state- ments published by Major Sherman and also the answers from the War Depart- ment. Continuing he said: :‘When asked to act as an arbiter in the affair that was before the public some months ago,and in which a Protestant min- ister figured, Sherman plainly stated that he was not a member of the A. P. A. At that very time his name appeared as a delegate from Oakland to the State Coun- cil, beld in San Francisco, and so did that of his son. Ithen found that there were two E. A. Shermans and I congratulated myself siill more that I lived in San Francisco. *‘Now, let us come right home to some- thing that occurred among your Board of Education in Oakland. he fiat went forth from the A.P. A. councils that no Catholic woman should be elected a schoolteacher in the Oakland School De- partment. The fact that the Catholics pay their taxes cuts no figure atall. Asa result of the decree there are very few of the teachers of your schools to-day who are Catholics. _“I have here a private report of the judi- ciary committee of the State Council of the A. P. A. Inittwo of your School Di- rectors, Charles G. Reed aud J.

Pearce, was also tried, but as there was not enough evidence against him he was not punished. These are men known to you. I know them not, but give you my word of honor that this document from w{:.isch I am reading is authentic. ome time ago a statement appeared in the Examiner and the Argonaut p:urpon« ing to come out of a book called ‘The Ger- man Soldier,” which is in the kree Library of San Francisco. It there stated that the sgrgamaga of Irish deserters during the ivil War was 72 per cent. I looked at every word of that book from cover to cover and such a statement is not to be found. It was a lie made out of whole cloth, and the men who published it in the Examiner and Argonaut knew it to be such. It was disproved by communica- tions with the War Department, as was Major Sherman’s falsehood that hundreds of Irish Catbolic soldiers were found in a convent in Mexico that had deserted from the United States army, “Friends, these are only a few of the tribulations to which the truth has been exposed.

There were many cries of *‘McKeever” atthe conclusion of the contest, indicating that in the opinion of many present he had the best of the fight. vigne, however, was still full of go, and, as he improves rather than weakens in a long fi Et. the outcome of a finish fight between the two men is doubtful. —_—— SAN JUSE TOURNAMENT.

AFTER THE MAYOR'S SCALP Five Thousand Circulars Directed Against His Road Printed. Western Additien Improvement Club Claims That the People’s Rights Are Being Abused. An important and largely attended meeting of the Western Addition Im- provement Club was beld last night. All the members were there for much business and little talk, as may be judged by what follows. Herewith is a copy of a communication forwarded to the Supervisors: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 20, 1896 To the Members of the Street’ Committee of thé Board_of Supervisors, City and County of San Francisco, State of California—GENTLEMEN: At a regular meeting of the Western Addition Improvement Club, held at Coakley’s Hall on the date last above written, the following or- der was adopted and ordered to be forwarded 10 your honorable body for action, to wit: To inform your honorable body that the fence supposed to inclose the property of the estate of the late Judge Mee, situate and located on the northwest corner of Geary street and Central avenue, is an ob- struction, it being located on the public thor- oughfare of Point Lobos and Central avenues. We therefore ask that you have the same re- moved to the exact line of the property proper. J. AMES BOWLAN, President. RICHARD O. BLiss, Secretary. There was but little discussion over the following resolution, directed against Mayor Sutro and his road, and 5000 pam- phlets were ordered printed for general circulation in the district: NOTICE. As members of the Western Addition Im- provement Clubwe do herepy earnéstly ask your active support and co-operation in secur- ing the recognition of our rights, which we claim, and justly, have been ignored by Mayor Sutro’s unfair and inconsistent arrangement of his electric road. The grievances we sub- mit to your consideration are as follows: First—We pray that you demand that the Sutro Railroad Company be compelled by law to live up to the terms of its franchise by re- quiring said company to make its terminal point as set forth in the terms of its franchise —the intersection of Geary street and Central avenue. By allowing this portion of the road to remain idle Mayor Sutro not only subjects himself to the accusation of gross inconsis- tency, but further than this he invalidates his franchise. He has placed rails on said portion of his road and so_1interfered with its grade that all other traffic is greatly impeded. You are doubtless aware that this” portion of Cen- tral avenue is the natural outlet of all the heavy teaming to and from the Richmond dis- triet. He has caused the grade of this road to be changed without any suthority for so doing. It will be remembered that Mayor Ellert un- dertook the personal supervision of having the rails torn up on Bush streetin a similar case when the railway on that street was allowed to remain in disuse. We claim that Mayor Sutro, because of his high municipal office, is taking an unjust ad- vantage of the taxpayers in thisdistrict. We therefore suggest that prompt appeal be made to the proper authority requiring Mayor Sutro either to run his cars down to the terminal point stipulated in his franchise or that he be compelled to tear up his rails in this part of Central avenue and restore the grade as it was before he tampered with it. ‘We further desire to call %onr attention to another matter which we believe strongly evidences the inconsistent practical expres- sion of his self-lauded public-spiritedness. This is his unjust treatment of the people of Richmond in cherging them a fare double that required of the patrons of his line who may reside in the central part of the City or in towns across the bay. You will bear in mind the promises he made publicly in Far- rell's Hall before the electric- road enterprise had been ins:ituted and before he was raised 1o the office ot Mayor. He then spoke in glow- ing terms of the infinite good he desired to do for the people and claimed that had he a road he would charge two and a half cents instead of five cents as & fare, He talked bitterly of octopuses and declared his eternal enmity to such combinations. Now we clalm that after getting the con- fidence of our community he has directly violated it and hasignored our former support. He has formed a combination with the Sutter- street Company and virtual'y demands a double fare from the people " living in the W:ztenl Addition and along the line of his ro! We would suggest to Mayor Sutro that inas- much as the Railroad Commissioners. about to take actior toward reducing the passenger rates of the Market-street Railway Company that now a splendid opportunity presents itself for him to put into effect zh reputed solicitude for the public welfare and set an example for all otner railroad companies by reducing the fare on his road to cents. M-{or Sutro has laid the foundation for po- Iitical Pagul-rny in our community. We have stood by him inthe past. So far, we regret to nf, he has done us no particular benefit. n conclusion, we pray you will exercise your influence in whatever channel it will prove most effective in requirigg Mayor Sutro 1o make good his promises and) give us what we deserve and demand in the matter of re- duced fare, and to compel him to conform le- gally to the terms of his franchise relating to the terminal point at the intersection of Geary street and Central avenue,or thereby forfeit all rights on the part of Central avenue be- tween Sutter and Geary streets, All the foregoing was unanimously adopted at & meeting of the Western Addition Improve- ment Club, held at Coakley's Hall, Geary street, near Central avenue, on Monday, Jul: 20, 1896, and it was further ordered that glmh_{ehleh be printed and distributed in the is t, and thats copy of the same be fur- hed to neisco. st nis each and every newspaper in San Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. 5 10 HAVE BROTHER JUSEPH EVICTED, A Spirited Contest Over Hyde-Street Prop- erty. THE BROTHERS BULLARD A Sale Was Made, but the Elder Sharer in the Property Refused to Vacate. ORDER OF COURT IGNORED The Story Begins With the Filing ofa Will Leaving All the Estate to Joseph and $5 to the Other. A piece of property on Hyde street, worth $8000 or $10,000, is causing tha brothers Bullard much bitter feeling, to say nothing ot the legal expense. Joseph A. Bullard, the elder brother, is in possession of the property in dispute, and the incidents leading up to the suitin ejectment to begin to-day make an inters esting story. In 1886 Joseph H. Bullard died, leaving the Hyde-street property already men- tioned. Joseph A., the elder son, filed a will for probate by the terms of which he was left all the estate, his brothers, Wil- liam P. and Edward, being cut off with $5 eash. William P., who is manager of the dray- ing and express firm of Collins, Lyon & Kissane, and the younger brother, Ed- ward, contested it on the ground of un- due influence and fraud on the part of Joseph A. The eourt decided in favor of the con- testants, and the judgment reversing the probating of the will was finally affirmed by the Supreme Court, deciding that the property must be equally divided among i the three brothers. While the litigation was going on Joseph mortgaged his third interest and con- tinued to live in the old family residence, baving been appointed special adminis- trator to take care of the estate. In 1894 the special letters issued to Joseph A. were revoked by Judge Coffey and general letters were issued to Wil- liam P. As the successful contestants lived in houses of their own they allowed Joseph to remain in the house outof pure charity, as they say. There being claims against the estate it was necessary to sell the prop- erty and the Probate Court made the re- quired order. The sale was made, but the property could not be delivered. Joseph held the fort and continues therein with such persistence that evictment is the only course left the younger heirs. . H. McPike is the attorney for W. P. Buliard. OVER A GAME OF CARDS. Two Prominent Men, Close Friends, Quarrel About the Deal and One Kills the Other. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., July 20.— A triviul dispute Saturday night over a game of cards between W. W. Haralson, auditor of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railroad, and Francis M. Ector, assistant auditor of the same road, resulted in the death of the latier. The men were close friends. They had rooms in the Arling- ton Hotel, and passed nearly every even- ing in the reading-room playing cards. They were engaged in their usual game when a dispute arose about the deal. Ector became greatly angered, and, re- marking to Haralson, ‘I don’t want to hear anything from you,” threw the cards on the floor. Haralson retorted that a man who would not hear an explanation was a fool. Ector clutched Haralson by the throat and re- ceived a blow in the face. He again ad- vanced,and as he did so Haralson brought a heavy oaken chair down on his head, felling him. : Physicians were called in, but Ector died at 5 o’clock yesterday morning without regaining consciousness. The tragedy has caused great excitement owing to the prominence of the parties, and Haralson’s grief is pitiable. Haralson is a son or nephew of Chief Justice John Haralson of Alabama, who for years has presided as moderator at Southern Baptist conven- tions. Ector was one of the best known railway men in the South, having been fora long: time auditor of the Richmond and Dan- ville and Georgia Pacific roads. He wasa native of Atlanta, Ga., and owned prop- erty there valued at $100,000. —— Governor Altgeld’s Legacy. CHICAGO, IrL., July 20.—By the will of John W.
