'THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1896. 3 1 SPIRITED AWAY FROM ZAKT'BAR Said Khalid Escapes the Vigilance of Great Britain. e AIDED BY THE GERMANS Taken Away From the Consul- ate in a Boat at Extreme Fiood Tide. PROTEST OF THE ENGLISEMEN Regarded as an Unfriendly Act, but No One Cares About the Usurp- er’s Departure. IBAR, Oct. 2—Khalid, who on proclaimea himself Sultan of frer the death of Sultan Hamid Bin Thwain and took refuge in the Ger- men Consulate after the bombardment destruction of the palace by British ps on August 28, has been spirited ay by the Germans despite the British request for his surrender. At the extreme flood of the tide when the water almost level with the Ger- man Consulate, which is ai.tbe waterside, Khalid was conveyed on board the Ger- man warsloop Seeadler under the protec- tion of a guard of German sailors. The Germans did not notify the British uthorities of their intention to remve halid from the Consulate, nor did they form the British of the fact that his re- novai had been accomplished. When theBritish Consul learned of the r through other sources, he made a Tous piotest, which has not yet been answered by the German Consular authorities. LONDAN, Exa., Oct. 2.—The Standard to-morrow publish a dispatch from saying it is stated thai Germany otified Great Britain some days ago of ntention to transfer Said Khalid to German East Africa. Some of the Lon- don newspapers publish editorials de- ng the transfer of Said Khalid from the German Consulate as an unfriendly act, but they declare that Great Britain will be glad to get rid of him P SUSPECTS TALE William Moore Says He Falsely Confessed to a Murder in Lieu of Suicide. Sought Death by Lyuching Rather Than Become His Own Executioner. NAPA, Can.,, Oct. 2.—William Moore, the self-confessed murderer of Mrs. John Q. Greenwood, now says that he did not commit the crime with which he is charged. Moore made a long rambling statement to-day in court, claiming in effect that he had said he was the mur- derer because of a desire to die and be- cause he did not want to commit suicide. He thought that after an open confession of the crime e would be brought to Napa and speedily lynched. The court has ap- pointed John xork and C. J. Beerstecher s his attorneys, In his statement Moore said: Ihave been troubled with not sleeping and have been using drugs and I am broke up Jtherwise, and hard .imes and everything put 1, life became most unbearable. win reading the papers and reading of ial prior 10 this, when the “otner man’ ed—this man Schmidt—that I was ¥ the name of Moore.

Continuing, Moore said that he had met a man resembling him in San Fran- cisco, and afterward learned that it was because of this resemblance that he him- self was suspected of the Greenwood murder. Meeting the fellow later, he pietented to know all about the killing, ana his companion, becoming intoxicated, confessea that he had killed Mrs. Green- wood, and described the marder in detail. The stranger said three men were 1mpli- cated in the crime. Moore learned all of the details, and when he had resolved upon ending his life he wrote the confes- sion, believing that it would soon bring him to the gallows. DEATH SCOURGES JAPAN, Epidemic of Dysestery Follows the Rav- ages of ¥lood and Earthguake. TACOMA, Wass., Oct. 2—Japanese ad- vices to September 10 received by the steamer Braemar give graphic details of the widespread destruction wrought by the recent typhoon, floods and,earth- quakes. Many of the most important silk factories of the empire were so damaged that they were_compelled to close. The cotton crop of Yamashinc and Settsu was damaged one-haif and in Yamato and Ka- wachi provinces 30 per cent. Owing to the flood a partial vegetable famine exists in ata prefecture. In Rakuga, Akita province, over 1000 houses were destroyed by the earthquake. Dys- entery is spreading over the empire and many deaths resu't. There were 24,943 cases reported during the month of Au- gust, 360 cases in the city of Tokio alone. T..e proportion of deaths throughout the empir: 15 about one in ten of those af- fected. —_————— SANTA CRUZ SETTLERS WIN. Decision Rendered Against the Depeaux Heirs in the Soquel Augmen- tation Suit, SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Oct. 2.—The cele- brated Depeaux case, invoiving Soquel land of 40,000 acres to the vaiue of $2,000,- 000, in which Elizabeth Peck asked for letters of administration, was decided in the Superior Court by Judge Logan to-day adversely to the plainiiff. The decision was a very lengthy one, and terminates litigation in which 600 settlers were in- volved. They are now secured in their titles. In 1850 and 1855 Martina Castro Depeaux conveyed by deeds 40,000 acres of land known as the Soquel Augmentation and San Andreas ranchos, in the center of Santa Cruz County. - These deeds passed into the hands of three persons, and atter many vicissitudes the land is now held by over 600 owners in subdivisions, and the towns of Soquel and Capitola and the vil- lages of Aptos, Valencia and Olive Springs form part of the great improvements ef- fected upon these ranchos. For forty years the title remained clear and no con- test was offered, but in November, 1896, Miss Mary Etlizabetn Peck of Santa Cruz, representing the children of the deceased Martina Castro Depeaux, institutad suit for the granting of letters of administra- tion upon the estate. Tne case aroused intense interest in this section of the county, and eminent counsel were re- tained on each side. oo HER G g Solano’s Sugar-Beet Industry. SUISUN, CarL., Oct. 2.—Sugar beets were planted as an experiment through- out Solano County last spring. Samples of some have been tested this week, and the returns exceed the most sanguine an- ticipations of the growers. The sugar in- dustry is regarded as the cominc one, and efforts will be made to establish a factory in the most convenient location in the county. Beets from Dixon went as high as 16 per cent for sugar, and a sample from Suisun 20 per cent for sugar and 88 per cent purity of juice. All the farmers are interested in the movement and active steps will be taken to make the industry a permanent one. el T e San Diego Prisoncrs Held. SAN DIEGO.

Ex-Governor Brown of Maryland is ar- ranging his affairs preparatory to his de- parture for Europe. The ex-Governor says he caa speak no language except English, but in his travels abroad heretofore he has managed to get along quite well, says the Baltimore American. Said he: “I have found that there is but one safe rule in traveling abroad, and that is to imitate the elephant, and follow your trunk. “In my former travels I made it a point to get my trunk checked through, or regis- tered, as they call it. Then I kept my eye on that trunk. When 1 saw the baggage- man put my trunk on a car 1 at once got into that train and took a forward seal, where I could see the baggage-car door. Whenever I saw the baggaceman take my trunk out of the car I got off. In this way Inever made a mistake, though I could not speak the language of the country I was traveling in and had no interpreter. *‘On one occasion I was at the station in Berne, Switzerland. The station was & union affair, and so many trains were com- ing and going that I got uneasy, for fear that I would get on the wrong train. So I sat on my trunk and waited. ““While I was sitting there I was ap- proached by a young lady, who, like my- self, could speak "English only. She waldnzed to k;ow v;hich train to take. I told her to do as I was doing—sit on he; trank. Sbe did so. % ¥ I gave the same advice to a man, and both of them went right. It’s the only safe rule, for the baggage generally goes right.”” ——————— Itis frequently the custom for merchants in Scotland to buy potatoes when in the ground, and to underiake the lifting and carting. For this purpose they often com- municate with a man in Ireland called a “gaffer,” who takes a gang of young Europe women over to assist, as the Irisu are some of the best workmen in the field, L e ‘THE Star to-day opposes the new charter. * RAGING TORRENTS DESTROY BISBEE The Arizona Town Reported Swept Away by a Cloudburst. LOSS OF LIFE FEARED. Wires Are Leveled by the Deluge and the Inhabitants’ Fate Is Unknown. BENSON’S LONG LIST OF DEAD. Bodies of Two of the Victims of Thurs-. day’s Disaster Recovered—Rail- way Tracks Washed Away. TUCSON, Arrz., Oct, 2.—A report has jnst been received here that a cloudburst at Bisbee has washed out nearly the en- tire town, which is located in & narrow canyon. The wires are down, and the re- port cannot be verified, but a serious dis- aster is feared, as the canyon is very nar- row and there is little chance of escape from the flood. At Bisbee is located the Copper Queen’s works, It was learned late to-night that there was a serious washout on the Southern Pacific at Steins Pass. The wires between here and Benson were down all day and but meager news of the cloudburst disaster of yesterday has been received. The latest informa- tion is that Mrs. Ashburn and her chil- dren and Mrs. Zeek and two children were drowned. The bodies of the mothers were recovered, but those of the children have not yet been found. Four Mexicans are missing, and are supposed to have been carried down by the flood. The destruction to property was consid - erable. Some light frame buildings went to pieces like eggsh:ils when the torrent struck them. There was a heavy bail- storm in conne ction with the flood, which added to the damage. This is the most damuging flood that bas ever visited Southern Arizona and most serious in its consequences. The railroad sustains serious loss, and trains will not be running regularly for several days. CURERH EDIOR'S DETH A. J. Wiley Passes to the Beyond Alter an Iliness of Two Weeks. Was a Leader in Every Movement for the Advancement of His County. EUREKA, CaL, Oct. 2.—A. J. Wiley, editor of the Humbholdt Times, passed away in this city this morning after an illness of two weeks. He had been ailing for the greater part of last month and two weeks ago he was forced to take to his bed with what was then diagnosed as inflam- matory rheumatism. From that time his condition gradually grew worse, his ail- ment developing into, pneumonia. This was complicated by heart troubles, and several days ago his physicians announced that there were no hopes for his recovery. Last night he began to sink and at 8:40 o’clock this morning, in a delirium of sick- ness, he breathed his last. Augustus Jacoby Wiley was the eldest child of pioneers Austin Wiley and wife of Arcata and was born in that town, then known as Union, on January 18, 1857. Part of his youth was spent in San Fran- cisco, where he received his education, but most of his life was passed in Hum- boldt, where he has lived since attaining majority. Through his father, one of the pioneer journalists of the coast and wh in the early sixties was proprietor of th San Francisco CaLn, he early became identified with the newspaper business and had been connected with the Hum- boldt Times, in various capacities under different managements, since 1882. He was always prominently identined with Republican politics and under the Harrison administration he held the office of Receiver of the United States Land Office here. At the close of his term he accepted the editorial chair of the Hum- boldt Times, which he held for three and a half years. He was one of Hum boldt’s most progressive and enterprising young men and as such was a valuable member of the Chamber of Commerce, of which body he was secretary for one term. To his remarkable executive ability are due in great measure the success of recent events that tended to the advancement and advertisement of Eureka, notably the Sequoia carnival. n ardent sportsman, Editor Wiley la- bored faithfully for the preservation of the county to those who, like himself, loved the pleasures of field and stream, and through Lisuntiring efforts, despite the antagonism of some of his fellow- sportsmen, he succeeded in securing the passage of many laws for the protection of game. The wisdom of these laws and the honesty of his motives are now ad- mitted by former antagonists. Besides his parents he leaves some near relatives—Mrs. O. D. Stern of this city, wife of the County Clerk, and Mrs. C. B. Stone of San Francisco, sisters; Walter Wiley, Government transportion con- tractor, a brother, also of San Francisco; two brothers and a sister residing in Arcata, and a widow and two children residing in San Jose. The funeral will take place on Sunday in Arcata, under the auspices of the Native Sons oftthe Golden West. — SAN JOSE MONGOL'S CRIME. Wong Oy Took a Chinawoman's Life to Square a Debt Against Her Husband. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 2.—The police are in possession of information which fixes the murder of Hoy Doy, the Chinese woman who was killed Tuesday night in- Sixth-street C inatown, upon - Wong Oy. Two Chinese who were in the woman’s house smoking opium at the time of the murder have been found and they swear they saw Wong Oy enter the door of the room occupied by the woman and fire four shots. Wong Oy has disappeared from China- town and no trace of him can be found. The evidence found by the police has been turned over to the District Attorney and a warrant will be issued for Wong Oy’s arrest. The murder of the woman was evidently committed to square a debt of $600 which Wong Wing, the murdered woman’s hus- band, owed Wong Oy. Some time ago Wong Wing borrowed $600 from Wong Oy and the latter was given a Chinese woman known as Sing Yew as security for the loan. Sing Yew lived with Wong Oy but a few a ays, when she left him. She then stole the $600 from Wong Wing and went to Marysville, where she now is. ‘Wong Oy had made several demands upon Wong Wing for the money, and about a week ago the latter went to Marysville to try to collect 1t from Sing Yew. While there Wong Wing wrote a letter to Wong Oy saying he was unable to get it. 1t is believed that this so angered the latter that he decided to kill Hoy Doy 1o square the debt. —_— FREE DELIVERI OF MAIL, The Govermment’s New BSystems to Bo ZTested in Santa Clara Cowunty, SAN JOSE, CAL.. Oct: 2.—Congressman Eugene F. Loud received a letter yester- day irom Postmaster-General Wilson ask- ing him to designate some county in Cali- fornia in which to test the new free deliv- ery of postal matter. In reply Mr. Loud will say that he t hinks Santa Clara County is the proper place for making the experi- ment. Tne Postoffice Department will de- liver free of charge once, twice or three times a day all letters, papers and pack- ages addressed to 1esidents within the limits specified. It is believed that the service will prove successful in Santa Clara County, and that if once established it will never be abandoned. ——— CHILDRENS DAY AT THE FAIR. Pupils of the Public Schools Are Given a Half Holiday, SAN JOSE, COAL., Oct. 2.—The County Fair is still proving a drawing attraction. The pavilion was crowded both this after- noon and evening.

SIERRA MADRE SLOPES ABLAZE Forest Fires Gaining in Fury as They Speed Northward. SEEN FROM PASADENA. Vast Area of Timber Land Will Be Devastated by, the Confl (gration. RUSHING TOWARD MT. LOWE. Parties of Men Sent Forth to Fight the Flames—Nirrow Escapes From Death. 328 South Broadway, Los AngeLgs, Cal., Oct. 2. ‘With irresistible fury the forest fires on the slopes of the Sierra Madre, east and north of Pasadena, are sweeping toward Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE Cu,x,,} Mount Lowe. A cloud of smoke hovered over this city this afternoon,. through which the sun’s rays but dimly pene- trated, producing a weird, red glare. Ashes fell in profusion, and considerable apprebension was expressed on the streets as to the safety of Echo Mountain House and other property of the Mount Lowe Railroad Company. Word received by telephone late this evening from that famous mountain resort was that the dan- ger was past, the fire going to the north and east, but with increased fury. _A strong ocean wind is forcing the fire to the eastward very rapidiy through some of the finest pine forests in the State. Beveral sawmills and thousands of dollars’ worth of lumber have been con- sumed. The fire is now approaching the head of the San Gabriel River, in the di- rection of Oid Baldy, and seems destined to do irreparable damage to the forests of that region. BSwitzers Camp, a well- known resort, has been destroyed. Rob- ert Waterman, its owner, and a moun- taineer named Guy Bisbee had a narrow escape for their lives this afternoon. The center of the great conflagration, which 1s five miles wide, is near the heaa of the Grand Canyon. At 5 o’clock this afternoon the fire had reached the east fork of ti.e Arroyo Seco. The flames can be seen from elevated points in Pasadena and vicinity. Leading citizens of Pasa- dena have appealed to Mayor Rader of this city to assist in driving the es from the great watershed for both cities. Thirty men were sent out from Pasadena this afternoon to do what they could to stay the flames and care for property in the line of the devastating element. There is an unbroken line of forest tim- ber in front of the fire line extending to Little Creek in San Bernardino County, a distance of about forty miles, and in the present stage of the wind this region is likely to be traversea before the fire abates. —_——— RACED FOR 1HEIR LIVES, Narrow Escape of Two Men From Burn- ing Switzers Camp. PASADENA, Can, Oct. 2—R. W. Waterman and Guy Bisbee arrived from the sc ne of the mountain fire and report that they barely escaped with their lives, leaving Switzers Camp doomed to flames. They raced for four miles through suf- focating smoke and flames before getting out of danger. The fire is now burwsing over a swath several miles wide, licking up all vegeta- tion. Itison the south side of East Fork Arroyo and in Little Bear Canyon, work- ing toward Mount Lowe. On account of the variableness of the winds and the fact that each canyon has a strong draught of its own, it is impossible to foretell which way it will go. Pasadena’s three water companies sent up about thirty men and three teams to fizht the fire, and more will follow. At times during the day flames could be seen from Pasadena and volumes oi heavy smoke obscured the sky to the north. S G RECEPTION TO GENERAL MILES. Citizens of Los Angeles Greet the Com- mander-in-Chief of the United States Army. LOS ANGELFS, Cawn.,, Oct. 2.—The re- ception given to General Nelson A. Miles this afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce was a delightful affair in every respect. The spacious pariors of the Chamber were beautifully decorated for the occasion with flowers, smilax and potted plants, under the supervision of Secretary Willard and Mr. Wiggins. It was arranged that Major E. F. C, Klokke, D. Freeman and Captain Gilbert E. Overton should escort the distinguished guest from the station to the Chamber. The large reception committee, composed of 1eading citizens and business men from both the Chamber of Commerce and Mer- chants’ Association, was promptly on hand, and the reception began at3o’clock, when General Miles arrived. A larze number of ladies and gentlemen availed themselves of the opportunity to do honor to the commander of the United States Army, and he saw among them many old friends and acquaintances. The reception was of a distinctly informal character, and_ light refreshments were served during the afternoon. —_— S0C14LISTS OUT ON BAIL. Held for Trial for Specchmaking on the Sabbath.

Chinese Societies Preparing for & War of Emtermination. LOS ANGELES, Cav., Oct, 2.—If all the signs o not fail, the murder of the great man among the Chinese, Wong Ches, a few weeks ago in this ity by members of a rival tong is soon to be avenged. Al- R ready the police have beer notified. The information comes from two of the best informed merchants of the Chinese gnar- ter. bince the successor of Wong Chee came down from San Francisco, active Ersmnuons have been made by the Wong hee Tong for a battie, during which all the members of the Bing Ong Tong were to be exterminated. Each member of the former tong was as- sessed, and this fund has been expended, s0 1t is said, for arms and ammunition. Provisions have been stored in various places around the quarter, and a mobih- zation has ‘been going on. The result is that several of the huts are arsenals. ‘When spoken to about it this afternoon Chief of Police Glass said that a prolonged riot would be impossible, as he could within an hour place a squad of twenty- four men armed with Winchesters in the town. ENGLAND'S ALASKA GRAB. Yukon Miners Resent the Levying of Tribute by Mounted Police of Canada. SEATTLE, Wasn., Oct. 2—C. A. Car- penter, newspaper man and mine operator, who has been in Alaska’ off and on for two years, returned to Seattle on the steamship Al-Ki this afternoon. He re- ports that British mounted police under command of Captain Constantine are levying flagrant tribute upon American citizens and aggressively encroaching on United States territory at Forty-Mile, on the Yukon. According to his claim, which is also that of the entire Yukon mining population, the British line has been ex- tended fifteen miles southward upon Uncle Sam’s soil. Whnether rightfully or wrong- fully, bluecoats in the name of her Majesty are collecting a §15 per annum head tax or license from all miners within the dis- puted district. In addition to this, Carpenter says high duties must be paid upon all American oods going into the town of Forty-Mile. he miners are very much dissatisfied, Carpenter avers, over the action of the British authorities in thus levying tribute, as well as chagrined at the alleged apatby of the Federal Government in the premises, and he believes serious troubie sooner orlater between the British soldiery and citizen miners is inevitable. BUCKLEY'S DREAM WAS SHORT-LIVED Rainey Captures the Popu- list Legislative Con- vention. The “Push” on Hand to See the Bones From the Whited Sepulcher. A CLOUDBURST FOR SURPRISES The Last of Its “Purity” Dispelled by Its Assembly and Senatorial Nominations. At the continuation of the Populist con- vention last night at 1159 Mission street it 'was seen that Sam Rainey had combined with Chris Buck ey to absorb the party. To the real simon-pure Populists it was gall and bitterness to see the priuciples to which they were loyal dragged in the dust by political tricksters. Buckley’s skillful hand manipulated the municipal convention. Cator just rolled up the bottoms of his Populist trousers and waded out to where the *‘Blind Devil" sat in his little throne in the polirical slough and said: “Chris, send me to Con- gress and my party is yours.” Chris promised and the party was his, But a change came over the spirit of Cator’s dreams. Either he feared that he had fallen in the eyes of his own party or Buckley “turned him down”—an old trick, by the way, as Lieutenant Rainey can well attest. So Jast night the so-called Populists, who were no longer bipeds, but Buckley lambs, experienced a spasmodic revalsion { feeling. The pnblic had declared that they had been swallowed by Buckley. They would show the public that they had not. They were unselfish, these politicians, They would pour balm on Boss Rainey's wounded heart and make him a happy man. They did it by nominating nearly a'l Junta men for the Assembly and State Senate, For this purpose they went into ex- ecutive session, and the result of this spasmodic revulsion of feeling is attested by the following nominees: For the Senate—Seventeenth District, Sam Braunhart (Junta); Nineteenth District, Lau- rence J. Dwyer (Junta); Twenty-first District, Hugo K. Ascher (Junts); Twenty-third Dis trict, Sidney Hall (Junta); Twenty-fifth Dis- trict, John Fay (Buckley). For the Assembly—Twenty-eighth District, Eugene F. Lacey (Junta); Twenty-ninth Dis- trict, John Allen (Junta); Thirtieth District, Eugene J. Harmon (Junta); Thirty-first Dis- trict, T. E. Treacy (Buck y}: Thirty-second Distriet, J. D. Powers (Junta); Thirty- third District, E. J. Crane (Buckley); Thirth-fourth_District,. Robert Fa; (Bop.)} Thirty-fitth District, Lawrence ‘ Dolan i;JT"m‘); Thirty-sixth District, H. McGrath unta); Thirty - seventh Distriet, H. L ulcreavey (Junta); Thirty-eighth District, P. Goldstone (Buckley); Thirty-ninth District, J. 8. Wardell (Junta); Fortieth District, C. S. Kosener (Buckiey); Foriy-first Distnet, Frénk A. Schmitz (Juunia); Forty-second District, E. J. Reynolds (Buckiey); Forty - third District, George M. Rubenstein (Junta); Forty- fourth District, Gabriel Nathan uckley); Forty-fifth District, Felix Mulgrew (Buckley). During the whole of the convention the halls and corridors were crowded with the Buckley and the Rainey *‘push.’”” T. Carl Spelling hit into a ciever scheme to learn what was going on by guiding several of ‘his companions into a room where part of the proceedings could be heard through the keyhole. “*Hang it, boys,” he whispered, ‘‘they lnra o.'nrning us down for Rainey at every ap.” At this there was a concerted groan. The news came to Sam Braunhart where he was stationed buttonholing delegates who emerged for liquid refreshments to learn how his candidacy was making 1t. The taciturn Samuel smiled from ear to ear. This was indeed heavenly news. But the Populists, so called for distinc- tion from the restof the ‘‘push,” aere hnfpy. 'hey freely stated that the public now would not know where they ‘‘were at.”” Thus perishes the Populist party in San Francisco. Its banner of ‘purity” is draggled in the mud. Greater London’s 6,000,000 People. The result of the census of inner Lon- don, taken on the n&gh: of Sunday, March 20 last, shows that the population at that date was 4,411,271, or some 14,000 ie-s than had been estimated. An examination of the retnrns shows tnat the population north and south of the Thames was thus divided: North of the river, 2,668,475, and south of the river 1,642,796, being under the provisions of the equali- zation of rates act, 1894, was confined to the “*Administrative County of London.’* “Greater London,” however, includes all the districts under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan police. This outer ringin- cludes the county of Middlesex and parts’ of the counties of Kent, Surrey, Essex and Herts, practically all the suburbs of Lone don. The population of the metrcpolis in this larger sense 1s estimated thus: In- ner London, 4,411,271, and Outer London, 1,756,421, a grand total of 6,167,692, Prob- ably the next few years will see a great change in the relative populations of In- ner and Outer London. The development of the suburban railway systems and the growing use of the cycle help the move- ment which makes the heart of London more and more a business center during the day and a solitude at night.—London Tablet. e - The Point of View. A certain eminent physician went to a concert at his wife’s earnest request, though he has no knowledge of or interest in music. He was rather listless until one of the singers, a lady, rose and vegan to sing for the first time. Then he brightened up. **Who is that alto?” he asked. “‘Alto!” exclaimed bis wife. “‘Thitisn’t alto. She’s a high soprano, and her name is Jones.” **Hum !” seid the doctor. “Why? Do you like her voice ?"’ “Can’t say muck for her voice, but she has one of the finest bronchitises that I ever encountered.”—Youth's Companion. NEW TO-DAY.
