ECHO MOUNTAIN, CAL., Oct, 5.—Pro- fessor Lewis Swift, the astronomical wiz- ard of Mount Lowe, leaves for the East in a few days and it is quite probable that he will not return to the observatory which clings like a swallow’s nest to the heights of Echo Mountain.

T., Oct. 5.—Frank | Royce, convicted of embezzlement, sawed through the bars of the cage of the jail Jast night while the jailer was at supper and escaped. No trace of him has yet been found. Royce once practiced law at | Atchison, Kans., but at the opening of the | Cherokee strip he went to Pond Creek, and then came here and became cashier of | the County bank. The bank failed in | July, 1894, and Royce was indicted for embezzlement. While he was out on bail he became president of a small private bank in Jamaica, Iows, and from there is- sued bogus drafts upon various banks in Chicago and elsewhere. These were nego- tiated by George Elwood, Frank Olive and James Logan, all of Grant County, and many banks in Colorado, Texas, Kansas and Indian Territory were defrauded. About last December the conspiracy was discovered. Olive and Long are now serv- ing sentences, while Elwood is still at large. P S O Oy SWEEP OF FOREST FIRES.

Albuquerque Officials Await the News of an Expected Battle. AVENUES OF ESCAPE GUARDED The Posse Lies in Ambush on the Trail Chosen by the Fugi. tive Band. ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mgx., Oct. 5.—The posse under the command of the Sheriff of this county, which took the trail of the train robbers at Rio Puerco the morning after the attempted holdup, returned to- day without having come up with the bandits. Ia giving an account of the trip the Sheriff says: ““We followed the trail from the station about five miles down the Puerco River and then to a gap in the mountains on the west side of the river. It then led to a box canyon, nearly to the head of 1t,where we found the remains of a campfire and half a sheep. The men evidently camped there the night before. The trail then led back out of the canyon toward the southeast. After leaving the canyon we followed the trail for about forty miles, without water, until it was almost obliter- ated, when we started to the river for water, reaching the Rio Grande a few miles below Sabinal.”” Dispatches received this evening from United States Marshal Loomis report that his posse is hot on the trail. The day it left here it reached Magdalena about 10 o’clock, and the same day rode to a ranch sixty miles southwest on the San Augus- tin plain, where the pursuers camped for the night. The robbers passed there going south the same night, taking fresh horses from a corral not half a mile distant and leaving their worn-out animals. They evidently had confederates in that part of the country. The posserode back to Mag- dalena and was taken by special train the same night to Silver City and thence rode seventy miles to a ranch.at the base of the Magollon Mountains, at a point where the robbers will have to pass to get out of the country. ¢ The messenger who brought this in- formation lefi camp before daylight this morning. He brought a dispatch from Marshal Loomis, saying: “We are abead of the bandits and are camped ata point which they will have to pass in getting south. We have our own guards this time and there will be no more horse-trading.” It is the opinion of the railway officials that there will be a collisian between Loomis and the robbers to-night.

ROTTERDAM, Horraxp, Oct. 5.—Not- withstanding the secrecy observed by the police in regard to Kearny and Haynes, the conjecture made yesterday that they had been deported turns out to be correct. The two men embarked on the steamer Werkendam a few minutes before she sailed for New York, and they were escorted aboard the vessel by policemen who saw to it that they left the country. Both Kearny and Haynes are traveling under aliases. et A COMMISSIONER FROM OHINA, To Inguire Into Commerce and Modern Business Methods. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5.—Another millionaire visitor from the Flowery Kingdom, Yen Nien, an imperial com- missioner, arrived in Washington yester- day. His visit here does not bring him into contact with the State Department, but he comes to make a semi-official in- quiry into the commerce and modern business methods of the United States, to be used for the benefit of Chinese in- dustries. One ot the most important features of his mission is to get up a report for the Emperor of China upon tte condition of the better class of his countrymen in the United States. Most of them are engaged in business, many conducting branch houses of firms located in China, The commissioner will consult with these American-Chinese merchants, with a view to promoting commerce between the two countries. He wiil remain in the country several months, during which he will visit the principal cities, His longest stay will be at San Francisco, as the field for his special work is greatest there. He will visit England after leaving this country and return to his native land by way of India. SRS e Contract for Torpedo- Boats. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5.—Late this afternoon Secretary Herbert settled the controversy over the torpedo-boat con- tracts by awarding two torpedo-boats of the thirty-knot class to the Bath (Me.)

R B TOM WAISUN ACCEPIS, Dictates @ Letter So Saying to Chairman Butler. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 6. — An At- lanta (Ga.) special says: Thomas E. Wat- son last night dictated a letter accepting the Populist nomination for Vice-Presi- dent of the United States. It is addressed to Chairman Butler, and is a vigorous, tncisive document. Mr. Watson will re- vise the letter and make it public probably on Wednesday. In his letter of acceptance the Populist leader calls attention to the almost for- gotien fact.that during the St. Louis con- vention a caucus of ‘“‘middle-of-the-roaa” delegates representing twenty-one States was held. At this caucus the delegates agreed to nominate Norton of Illinois for President, and Birkett of Mississippi for Vice-President. That ticket would have made Bryan’s defeat absolutely certain, but when Wat- son telegraphed a message saying that he was willing to acceptisecond place on the ticket with Bryan the ‘“‘middle-of-the- road” men, believing that the Democratic managers would support the arrangement in good faith, withdrew their opposition to Bryan. Mr. Watson’s letter is practically de- voted toa demonstration along the line that the Populist candidate for Vice- President deserves the support of all who favor Bryan’s election. ———— SUFFERERS OF THE STORM. Urgent Need to Prevemt Many From Starving in Florida. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Oct. 5.—Every report in regard to the storm increases the deatn list and the estimation of the prop- erty lost. The condition of the people in the storm district is appalling and there is urgent need of aid to prevent starva- tion. While the snffering in Baker County is great from the effects of the storm, the damage is also very great., It is estimated that the total loss aggregates $250,000. The people are in destitute circumstances, without shelter, without food, and a great many are without change of cl?thing. RS i CI1GAR-MAKERS CONSERVATIVE. In No Hurry to Enter Politics or Rush Into Strikes. - DETROIT, MicH., Oct. 5.—The session of the convention of the Cigar-makers’ Union was largely occupied to-day in the discussion of proposed amendments to the constitution, The committee on strikes reported in favor of more conservative action in inaugurating strikes. The delegates further placed themselves on record in the matter of politics by adopt- ing a resolution introduced by Samuel Gompers declaring that “‘the introduction of party politics of whatsoever kind into the Cigar-makers’ International Urion is contrary to the best interests of ovr craft, our organization and our cause, and should be discountenanced.” pE s Santa ¥nez Slopes Ablaze. SANTA BARBARA, Cirn, Oct. 5.—A furious fire is sweeping the Santa Ynez mountain range in the vicinity of El Capi- tan and beyond Dos Pueblos. The terri- tory being burned over is in the vicinity of the Refugio road, declared by the Super- visors at a recent meeting to be the regu- lar county road across the range. As many ranchers dwell in that vicinity, some anxiety is felt for the little farms perched far up in canyons and gulches. —_— San Rafael Runaway. SAN RAFAEL, CiL., Oct. 5.—A fright- ful runaway and miraculous escape was witnessed on Fourth street to-day. Mrs. M. E. Coit was driving a high stepver, Miss Bassett riding with her.

Mrs. Donald Chisholm, the old lady who, with John McCarthy and A. Ahern, was on car 21 of the Larkin-street system /Sunday morning when it ran into a bumper at Howard and Ninth streets, is being cared for by Dr. Fields at her home, 1159 Folsom street. She 18 a very sick woman, having sus- ained injuries, bruises and lacerations af- fecting nearly every part of her anatomy. She was too 1ll yesterday to be seen by any one but her husband, who is acting as her nurse, and her physician. Aside from her physical injuries, the shock to her system makes her case more serious. After the accident the three injured ople remained in W. W. Campbell’s Remgstom for an hour and a half, when a representative of the road arrived and offered to compromise the case by payin, there and then for a receipt in full of Afl claims. Mrs. Chisholm was» too ill to enter into any business arrangemeht, and vesterday her husband denied the railroad people admission to his house. 1 the case of Ahern and McCarthy they were marched up to Polk and Butter streets, where are the company’s offices, and they were paid $80 and §$125, respec- tively. - Ahern’s bruises were mainly on his arms and wrists, while McCarthy snf- fered severe lacerations about the face and head.

NEW PLAYS SEEN AT THE THEATERS With “The Prisoner of Zenda.” Anthony Hope’s Novel Proves a Success in Its Dra- matic Form. “TRILBY” AND ANEW SVENGALI “The Great Bonanza” Opens Auspi- ciously at the Grand Opera- House. The winter season at the Baldwin Theater opened last night with “The Prisoner of Zenda,” and a crowded house assembled to hear the much-talked-of olay. Most peovle bave read Anthony Hope’s novel, and so much praise has been given in the East to Edward Rose’s dramatiza- tion that ‘‘The Prisoner of Zenda” had a high reputation to live up to, and many of the auditors’ were almost expecting the disappointments that too often come when a popular novel is put on the stage. However, Hope's novel has had the good fortune to escape injury at the hands of the dramatist. As a play it is interesting, romantic and full of action. At times the action hovers dangerously near the confines of melodrama, but it only crosses the border line once or twice and then but for a brief period. Asa rule the action is too romantic to smack of melodrama. The action of the novel is crystallized into a prologue and four acts. The pro- logue occurs early in the last century, and has the quaint picturesqueness of “The School for Scandal” in its settings. ‘With rapid action the audience is shown how the Countess of Rassendyll, a young English woman married to a man who is much older than herself, has forgotten her marriage vows for love of the heir apparent to the throne of Ruritania. The husband returns home unexpectedly, and, his eyes opened by the Prince’s cousin and rival in the succession to the throne, he lays a trap for his wife, catcbes the words of love on the Prince’s lips and figuts a due) in which Prince Ru- dolph falls. This prologue accounts for the startling likeness which Rudolph Rassendyll, a young English tourist traveling in Ruri- tanial50 years later, bears to Prince Ru- aolph who is on the eve of his coronation as Rudolph the Fifth. The English tourist is the great-grandson of the Countess of Rassendyll. The leading incidents of the novel have been cleverly woven by the dramatist into the play which follows; the Prince is too drunk to be crowned and his two faithful officers persuade the Enelish .tourist to impersonate royalty for a day. Then fol- lows the cqronation, the love of the Princess Flavia for the impostor, the plots and the love complications, ending in the rescue of the real Prince and the parting of the lovers for the sake of honor and duty. in tne triple role of Prince Rudolph, Rudolph Fi{th and the English tourist, James K. Hackett bore himself very well. His part demanded quick transitions and he gave them with great aptness. The change from the languid tourist to the drunken prince was a long step, but his touch was lightest and surest when he was supposed to be impersonating the King at the coronation. The im- postor was as dignified and majesticasa real Prince, but ever and anon he forgot his role, spoke with brusqueness and familiarity or winked with schoolboy fun at his fellow conspirators, and then pull- ing himself together again became every inch a King. At the end of the tnird act the audi- ence demanded a speeeb, to which Hackett responded with a few jocose remarks on the silver question and the financial state secret of Ruritania. Isabel Irving looked very vretty in her red wig as the Princess Flavia. Her role consisted chiefly of, love- making, which she executed gracefully and naturally. Maude Odell had to labor too hard to express the melodramatic emotions of the unhappy Antoinette de Mauban, but she seemed to have a good conception of her role, though she was physically not robust enough to render it comfortably. Most of the other characters were well acted. Charles Walcot and Howard Gould were both practical and nataral as the two conspirators who incited the impostor to impersonate the Prince. Arthur Elliott was intense and wicked as the treacherous Black Elphburg, and all the minor char- acters, particularly in the coronation scene, were clever studies. “Tne Prisonor of Zenda” gives oppor- tunities for picturesque staging which have not been neglected. At the Grand Opera-House. “Fhe Big Bonanza” at Morosco’s kept a large audience laughing for nearly three hours. It is one of Daly’s best comedies and the intro- duction of the poor old college professor into the mysteries of the stock exchange was done in a way that appealed most forcibly to an a; diencewf San Franciscans. L. R. Stockwell the professor was even funuier than usus Miss Bateman was very hl%‘pfly cast as Eu- genia, the daughter of the rich banker, brother of the professor, and Loitie Williams as the professor’s daughter also received much ap- plause. Howard Kyie was given an oppor- tunity to do some very effective acting and took advantage of it. Frank Hatch was the rich banker who has retired from business. His part was well played as was the role of the dudish Alphonsus de Hass by Edward Heron. Julia Blanc and Fanny Warner carried the re- maining two chief parts satisfactorily. The rest of the cast was thoroughly satisfactory, Mortimer Snow and Harry Bearimo doing some very clever work. Columbia Theater. “Trilby,” on its return from Austral opened for a season at the Columbia Theater last night. There was a large house present, and each familiar character was greeted with applause on first appearing; but “Trilby,” as it progressed, did not arousé the enthusiasm that it was wont to arouse in the days when Du Maurier’s heroine was the fad of the hour. The company was partly the same as that which first initiated San Francisco to Trilby- ism, and was partly a new and refined version of Palmers company. Charles Keat, who layed Svengali, had imitated Beerbohm e more than Wi make-up, * he has personality, the cl His tace did not look as if it had been rubbed in a flour-barrel, as Lackaye's did, and he had not Lackaye's red, bee’y hands. There was a more Hebraic cast to his countenance and his make-up stood the test of the opera-glass bet- rtrayal of the hypnotist it was lighfer and less intense than Lackaye’s and he affected his accent; indeed, at times he jorgot his accent aliogether and spoke the unadulterated English of the United States. The Zou Zou of George H. Trader was not up to the standard set by Martinelli. Miss Crane 'was as handsome as ever as Trilby, and Jennie Reiffarth was che same genial Mme. Hinard. Comedy at the Alcazar. Last evening the entertaining Alcazar com- pany gave Burkstone’s old but not worn comedy “Married Life”” to an appreciative au- _Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. dience. It is & farce of the most screaming varfety, and as handled by this band of players lost none of its sparkling humor. The cast comprised: Samuel Coddle, Frank Doane; Lionel Lynx, John T. Sullivan; krederick Younghusband, F. B. Clayton; Henry Dismal, Carl Smith; Henry Dove, J. B. Polk; Mrs. Samuel Coddle, Mrs. F. M. Bates; Mrs. Lionel Lynx, Amy Lee; Mrs, Frederick Younghus- band, May Buckley; Mrs. Dismal, Hattie Ih:‘glfl_ey; Mrs. Heury Dove, Mrs. Henry Vanden- As a curtain-raiser the little comedy *In Honor Bound” was given by John T. Sullivan as John Carlyon, Gordon Foster as Philip Graham, Rossella la Faille as Lady Carlyon and May Buckley as Rose Dalrympie. It was Miss 1a Faille’s first appearance and the young lady’s work was quite satisfactory, The same bill will continue al e week. At the Orpheum. The additions to the Orpheum’s bill this Wweek consist of two. freaks—one & six-year-old little girl with a phenomenal memory and the other an armless gentleman, whose feet per- form all the functions of hands. Little Gertie Cochran, the memory wonder, shows & positively startling knowledge of his- tory, geography and general statisties. There is probably not a schoolmaster in the State who could have responded without stumbling to all the questions asked her, but the little creature never hesitated and was very wide awake to catch questions which some would-be smart members of the audience put to her. Unthan, the armless wouder, played the vie- lin and cornet with his feet. He also played cards and generally used his pedal extremities as dextrously as hands. He went one better than William Tell by shooting the end off & finffls?n'. cigar with & gun handled with s feet. FPitrot, the character delineator, is back again, with a strong flavor of chestnuts clinging to his performance. The only new character added to his repertory is Dr. O’Donnell, but his impersonations of the Congressional can- didates still has power to arouse a_great deal of noise. The Hawaiian band continues to be gopnllr, but the Budience would probably be etter pleased if the selections were curtailed in length. The National airs given Ly the glee club arouse great enthusiasm. Master Walter Leon is deservedly as great a fayorite as ever. Riley and Hughes continue to show their agility as plantasion dancers. “‘Satanella’’ at the Tivoll. ‘“Satanella” was produced before a large audience last night ana met with a cordial reception. The principal event of interest was the first appearance of Ella Crox Seabrooke, who more than fulfilled what had been prom- ised for her. She is the possessor of a sweet and youtnful soprano voice of considerable volume and register and presented a very at- tractive appearance, especially in her doublet and hose. She was several times called before the curtain, and received & double encore for ber rendition of “The Power of Love.”” The management has a valuable acquisition in this young lady. Rhys Thomas was excellent as Count Rupert and was loudly applauded for his singing of “The Sparkling Vintage of Champagne.” Signor Abramhoff sang splen- did as Arimanes and was exceedingly effective in appearance. Maurice Darcy created a fa- vorable impression as Karl. He has a pleasant baryione voice. The rest of the cast was sat- 1stactory. “Satanella” will go all the week. At the Chutes. Mons. F. A. Maginel, saxophone soloist, who has been playing with Gilmore and Liberati, is a new feature of the open-air concerts, while the cornet solos of the Mullin Sisters are as popularas ever. To make matters more ex- citing than usual Antonio Pirri now rides over the cleats down the chutes while the water is running. Fairmount Improvement Club. At a meeting of the Fairmount Improvement Club, held Saturday night, J. L. McLaughlin in the chair,a committee was appointed to wait on the Holly Park Club and discuss the question of proper sewerage in the district. 5 The subject of the Randall-strect sewer was brought up, and themaaner of its construction severely criticized. It wes announced ihat & greal many improvements hav. been coms menced in the Fairmavnt distriet, —_———— Judge Ferrul on Radicalism. The following communicatiou has been received : Editor Call : In your notice of my speech last Saturday night I am made to say that I vanted to see the Uhlcsfio convention ‘a wild buist of radicalism.” This 1s a mistake. Isaid in sou e particulars it was not radical enough; that it should have abolished the two-thirds rule which isundemocratic and wrecked the party when Dounglass ana Breckinridge were nomi- nated, and also have recommended the aboli- tion of the Electoral College, giving a direct vote for President and ayoiding complications such as followed the election of Tilden and are now met with in the nomination for Vice- President. THE CALL has been so uniformly fair and manly in its treatment of political opponents that I feel warranted in asking this correction. Roagecl!ully, ROBERT FEREAL. October 3, 1896. NEW TO-DAY.
