4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1896. BAINGS OFFERS OF SETTLEMENT The Return of Sir Julian Pauncefote to the Capital. Probable Provisos by Which England Expects to Estab- lish Boundaries. VENEZUELA'S CLAIMS RIGHTED Territory Now Occupied by British Subjects May Be Tranferred to Venezae!an Sovereignty. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—The British Embassador, Sir Julian Paunce- forte, has lost no time after his long ab- sence in London on resuming his diplo- matic functions in Washington. Within twenty-four hours ot his return he had a short interview with the Secretary of State, after which Sir Julian called at the executive mansion and left his card for the President. It was stated authoritatively that Sir Julian’s call to-day was merely one of courtesy and that to some time in the near future was left the formal confer- ences, which it is hoped on both sides will result in the settlement of the Venezuelan controversy. Subsequent to O.h.e visit, however, Bir Julian sent a bundle of papers from the embassy to the Secretary, including the long-sought list ot bona- fide colonists who had settled in the dis- puted territory previous to January 1, 1887, together with & description of their holdings and the character of improve- ments they had made. These settlements constituted substan- tially the only point of difference between Lord Salisbury and Secretary Olney when the summer vacation interrupted the ne- gotiations, and tne forthcoming confer- ences are to be practically confined to these points. Lord Salisburyjs proviso was that the boundary line to be drawn by the pro- vosea arbitration tribunal of three was not'to include as the territory of Vene- zvela any territory which was bona fide occupied by the subjecis of Great Britain on the 1st of January, 1887, or as territory of Great Britain any territory bona fide occupied by Venezuelans at the same date. Becretary Olney’s counter proposition of June 12, which Sir Vernon Harcourt sub- sequently referred toin Parliament and commended as the solution of the diffi- culty, was that either Lord- Salisbury’s proviso should be stricken out altogether, or there might be substituted for it the following, *‘provided, however, thatin fix- ing such line, if territory of one party be found in the occupation of the subjects or citizens of the other party such weight and effect shall be given to such occupation as reason, justice, the rules of international law and the equities of the particular case may appear 1o require.” It is stated that the revised suggestion upon which Great Britain looks to a speedy conclusion of the negotiations deals with a plan to affirm the titles of in- dividuals to the property they have ac- quired in case the contemplated boundary tribunal decides to change the present dominion of the *'settied districts” by ng the territory now occupied by subjects to Veneznelan sov- ereignty. The extreme aversion which Lord Salisbury has exhibited to a possi- bility of these settlers being surrender to the law and demination of Venezuela led to the suggestion that England would co-operate in establishing an independent republic of Guiana, comprising all of the disputed territory. The limits within which England might, consent to make an agreemen: for full arbitration would inciude a stipula- tion that the settlers shall not be dis- turbed and that their possessions shall be guaranteed to them. Secretary Oiney’s counter proposition under this head is declared to be too in- definite, and a specific provision of pei- manency is insisted upon. The earlier suggestion of England that in case of an adverse decision of ker claim she shouid have the right to purchase these settled districts, is stated to have been firmly de- clined by Venezuela, with the concurrence of the United States. DEATH AT PASADENA, Consumption Ends the Life of a BSan Francisco Business Man. PASADENA, Can, Oct. 23.—J. A.

Oct. 23.—Reports from New York of arise in the tea market are borne out in the Chicago field. When asked about the matter yesterday, A. P. Upkam, the buyer for Sprague, Warner & Co.,, said: ‘‘I{is true that there has been a gereral advance inthe tea rket owing 1o the short crop in China and Japan. As to the statement that there is tea enough in the United States to carry the market for a year, that is pure speculation, ana I am inclined to say 1t is not true.” i Petaluma’s Comprtitive Shoot.

Several hundred from Golden Gate Union came over by special boat.

The theme was the prevarations for the great convention of '97, and it was eloguently but practically foreshawed. The speakers were Mr. Todd of San Ra- fael, Donald McKenzie, State Secretary Reed, Miss Berry and Dr. Noble. It wasa happy, inspiriting assembly—one of the forerunners of the great international conclave of next July. SANTA BARBARA ROMANCE Bigamy Unwittingly Committed by a Pretty Young Woman. Learns After Wedding a Second Time That Her First Husband Lives. BANTA BARBARA, Carn, Oct 23.—A pretty, brown-eyed woman in Santa Bar- bara, with a tiny baby boy resting in her arms and a seven-year-old daughter by her side, is startled by the news that the husband she had long supposed dead is alive and well and will shortly appearin Santa Barbera to claim his child and to challenge the legality of his wife’s second marriage. Eight years ago Antonio Botillier was married to Matilda Zurmuhlen, the danghter of respectable parents who re- side here. The marriage was far from be- ing a happy one. Botillier was intemper- ate and improvident and in his drunken fits is said to have frequently beat his wife over the head with empty bottles and with his abuse and evil temper made her life a torment to her. She patiently bore with him and two years ago, when the miracles of the Keeley cure were under discussion, permitted him to mortgage their little home for §150 and with the funds thus raised to go to the institute at Ontario in Southern California. Several weeks later came the news that Botillier had mysteriously di: from that place. Some time ai bleachingz skefeton was found in ¥ adjoining the institute grounds, and with itall that was supposed to be mortal of Antonio Botillier was supposed to be de- cently put under ground., It is small marvel that the young widow’s grief was mild and sbort lived. A litile later she married a young farmer mamed Coates, and ina hagpy bome, with a little son as the product of this union, she had weil nigh forgotten the sorrows of the past. Now come the tidings that Antunio Bo- tillier is in San Diego; that be ran away from the gold cure institute, deserting wife and child, and has since been herding cattle in Texus.

Says the Welfare of the Country Is Imperiled by the Orator. ANARCHY MUST NOT PREVAIL No Man Who Desires Law and Order Can Indorse the Chicago Plaiform. 7 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—In re- ply to the invitation of Attorney-General Walker of Missouri to deliver speeches in that State, Secretary of the Interior Fran- cis has written a letter, in which, after expressing regret that official duties pre- vented an acceptance, he says: This is a time, however, when no man can afford to remain silent. The welfare of the country is imperiled; the perpetuity of the Repubifc is at stake. 1 believe the sober sec- ond thouzht of the people will ¢ondemn and repudiate those who are trying to array classes against each other and incite the dis- contented to violations of obligations, if not to lawlessness. And I deny that those of us who raise a_voice against such teachings and protest against the revercd name of Democracy being used for ends so base have departed {rom the faith or have weakened in devotion to the great prineiples of govern- ment by the people. If the organization calling itself the regular Democracy be successiul at the coming election, commercial disaster, finaneial misery, social discontent, National dishonor would ensue, end the party responsible for such conditions would be cursed by an out- raged people for a generation to come. list of the prominent Democrats through- out the country who.decline to support Mr. Bryan and his platform would embrace nearly a1l the Democratic leaders of this generation. Those who have led us in past contests and who are now eniisted under the banner are giving him but lukewarm or perfunctory sup- port. You should not be surprised thereat, as he, intoxicated with the beliefof divinity of his own mission, or blinded by his own con- ceit, pays no credit to their councils, puts no value on their wisdom or experience. His convictions are Populistie. ‘Hehns been preaching the tenets of lh.glfly for months or years past. He voted the Popu- list ticket at the last Presidential election. He is the nominee of that party for President, and its leaders aver that he would have been their standard-bearer whether the Chicago convention would have nominated him or not He announced before that convention wi held that he would not support its nominee if 8 free coinage plank, at the ratioof 16 to 1, were not adopted, and has stated since the convention that he would have bolted the nomination if the platform had nol so de- clared. Mr. Bryan’s friends had agreed upon a ruie and ruin policy before the convention was held. The bolt of the silver Republicans from the St. Louis convention was an epoch in their plans, whieh, in my judgment, contemplated the nomination of Senator H. M. Teller of Colorado, & life-long uncompromising Repub- lican, by the Chieago convention. It is not a Democratic electaral ticket we are asked to vote for in Mirsouri; it is a fusion ticket composed of Populists and Bryan Demo- crats. Mr. Francis repudiates the Chicago plat- form in bitter words and praises Presis dent Cleveiand. He concludes: : I shall surely be at home to cast my vote for Palmer and Buckner, and regret that I cannet ;f‘\xsv;heim in time to make several spzeches in ssouri. LIFE AT CIRCLE CITY. There Bread Sells for Twenty-Five Cents a Loaf and Potatoes for Forty Cents a Pound TACOMA, Wass., Oct. 23,—The follow- ing letter was received to-day from Mrs, Wensel, a Tacoma woman living in Circle City, Alaska: The stories told of the great amount of gold to be washed out here are unfounded. Alaska coniains much gold, but as yet the country is undeveloved. Much prospecting has been done and many rich digrings discovered, but not enough to give employment to the many m’:_n m‘n‘;;:‘f here. 'Wo-! s or more go away disappointed. The trip to Circle City is a long and v’g:(; hard one, as well asexpensive and dangerous. Rain falls nearly summer like the winter rains on Puget Sound.

Last winter the thermometer registered over 70 below, when outside work was impossible, No one would think of com- ing here if be understood the situation. Many miners and business men are doing well, but men who know say everything is overdone, even the labor supply. Wooa sells at $10 and $11 a cord, lumber ai $45 a thousand, and the market is short. One might think it wouid pay to raftlogs and wood down the river, but on account of ihe menydangers and the character of the work none but ex; erlenced log-driversean do it. Wages are from 85 to $8 a day, but work ie scarce. Meals are 75 cents each and board $50 a month. Fresh meat is servedoniy when 8 moose is brought in. Salmon is not very plentiful this season. Nearly everytning in the grocery line for sale here is canned. Ordi- nary canned goods are 50 to 75 cents a can, evaporated potatoes 40 cents per pound and Irish potatoes, when thev can be had, $15 a bushel. Eggs are $1 50 a dozen when in the market. Sugar is 25 cents & pound, flour $4 a sack, butter £1 a roll, washtubs $4 each, tin water-buckets $2, clothespins 25 cents a dozen. Circle City has three restaurants and four stores, besides the Alaska Commercial Com- Snny'n store and several bakeries. Bread is 5 cents a loai, or five for $1. Doughnuts are 50 cents a dozen, oil §1 a gallon. There are no ministers and tbree doctors. The city boasts of several laundries. The Yukop flats are 300 miles long. Circle City is twelve miles from the north end of the flats. The river is very wide here and con- tains many islands.

Overpowered While Struggling in th Aurf on the Ucean Beach. PORTLAND, O, Oct. 28.—T. O. Glad- ding, who has just returned from Yaquina, says that a few days ago, while he was driving on the beach from Waldport to Newport, he saw a deer near the water. It had evidently been chased down from the mountains by dogs and was neariy ex- hausted. the team approached within a few of it. Then Gladding got out and tried to cateh it. It was a fine spike buck. The animal ran into®the surf, when a huge breaker caught it, and, turning it many somersaults, landed it shivering at the feet of Gladding, who had waded in after it. He cavght the deer, ana after a vigor- ous struggle in the waves, tied it with a rope. ‘The deer was loaded into the hack and was taken to Newport. Gladding pre- sented the graceful animal to his friend, James Hume, who resides at the old light- house near Newport. f.rd! —_——— CAST UP AT ST46 BAY.
