4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1896. ABDUL HAMID'S HAND UNCHECKED No Truth in the Rumored Combination of the Powers. British Foreign Oifice Danies the Story of a Sensational Journal, “A Consummation D:voutly to Be Wished,” and the Scare May Have an Eff:ct. LONDON, Exc., Dec. 9.—A representa- tive of the United Associated Presses vis- ited the Foreign Office to-day for the pur- pose of a¥certaining the truth or falsity of a dispatch published by a New York news- paper this morning and cabled bere, al- leging that Russia, France and England, with the assent of Germany, Austria and Jtaly, would at. once compel the Sultan to adopt radical reforms under the joint su- pervision of the three powers first named, etc. After reading the dispatch the Foreign Office officials dec!ared the statements con- tamned therein to be absolutely unfounded. The status quo they said had not been chauged in the slightest degree. The powess, the authorities added, were still tryipg to agree upon a plan of exerting pressure upon the Sultan to induce him to enforce the reforms in Turkey that had been promised, but it wouid be a long uime before they wounld think of moving troops and ships. Still, they said, they they were giad that stories of the kind shown them were published, asthey might have the effect to frighten the Sultan into action in the direction of instituting reforms. . The Birmingham Post prints a London dispatch similar to the one described above, qualifying it by saying *it is stated” that fleets will shortly be mobil- ized in order that they may be ready, if it'should bezome necessary, to enforce re- forms in the Ottoman empire. The re- vorts do not attract muck attention here, 28 they are regarded as belonging to the series of the Turkish situation which are rs shown to be false when inquired STABBED Wild Congressman Carmona of Mexico Dying From a Peculiar Wound.

Gove, the widely known ore-buyer and owner of gold properties in Mariposa County, is at the Palace. As the repre- sentative of the Omaha and Grant Smelt- ing Company he has been on an extended wrip through Montana, Idaho, Washing- ton and British Coinmbia. He will now remain here, probably most of the winter.

Give me California as a min- ing country, especially for gold mining. There 18 no other State or Territory that can compare w ith her. *‘Here is a fine climate, plenty of wood and water, big veins of quartz, and all easily reached from S8an Francisco, in many cases by rail direct. A man doesn’t really realize all the advantages till he takes his chances on the frontier by stage in all kinds of weather. *'A good deal of my time was spent up in British Colu mbia. I was at Rossland and many other places. I visited Ains- worth, New Denver and the Trail Creek region pretty thoroughly. I also visited the Siocan country. Asa whole I was not impressed with the country as a place for money-making. “Rossland is a town of 7000 or 8000 peo- yle, pretty high in the mountains. 1 don’t think much of it. The ore about there is il in granite with pyrites of iron. *‘The Le Roi, the best mine there, ap- pears to bave got its best days behind it. hie owners shipped 12,000 tons of their ore to Great Falls, and it went $37. They built a smelter, and their first lot of ore there ran about $40, and their last lot dwindled down to about $16—too low to pay. The other gold properties around there have not come up as was expected. 1don’t see any great future for the place. “The Slocan silver mines pay $100,000 a month. If silver was worth $1 anounce it would be great ore. The ore is very rich, in narrow veins. “Ainsworth is a very lively place, and a good. business point. " It's the best place up there. New Denver doesn’t amount to much yet. “I was at Spokane a few days. There is a population of about 30,000 there, but a great deal of it is floating. Property is very cheap. 5 “The property. in British Columbia is nearly all owned by the Canadians. There are few Americans there. The people have come in from the vicinity of Mon- treal, Quebec, Toronto ana other places in the Eastern provinces.

He and his partner own nine leagues, or about 72,000 acres of land, capabie of sup- porting irom 17,000 to 18,000 cattle #nd 55,000 sheep. They pay as much attention to the sheep as to the cattie. “There has been a gooa deal of money made down there out of livestock,” said Mr. Smith. ‘‘More than anywhere in the States, Australia, oranywhere. The reason is, I think, that there is no other country s0 well adapted to cattle especially. “Though the ranch which I am inter- ested in may be supposed to be large, it is moderate compared to some in the hands of theold families there. Some have as many as thiity leagues in a ranch, and well stocked, too. “We have as our principal breeds of cattle the Durhams and Herefords; but just now some are going in for Pollea Angus, the cattle without horns. It is not because they are hornless that people are getting them, but because they nave a heavier hide and heavier meat, “‘Everything is toward getting meat and lide. Itvissoeven with sheep. We have the Leicesters, Southdownsand Lancaster- shires for shipping. We ship vast quanti- ties of beef, mutton and hides to England. That is our great market.

It was WALCOTT WAS ALL BUT 0UT Given a Hard Encounter by Tommy West of Boston. Dick O'Brien Refused to Fight, but the Crowd Saw a Battle. Fast Pace Cut Out by the Clever Lad Who Entered the Ring as a Substitute. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 9.—After what promised to be a fizzle at the start the nineteen-round set-to between Joe Wal- cott, the colored welter-weight champion, and Tommy West of Boston. at the Marl- borough Club to-night, proved to be a fast and furious fight. Dick O’Brien, who was originally booked to meet Walcott, backed out, to the disgust of the crowd. When the bout started the crowd hissed at being taken in and many left the hall. Probably 20 to 1 could have been gotten against West up to the eighth round, but after that the jeering of the spectators changed into cheering as the plucky white boy at first held and finally punched the hitherto invincible “Black Wonder.” In the seventeenth and eighteenth rounds Walcott was all but out, but West did not have the strength nor science to give the coup. Owing to a mistake of the timekeeper time was called at the end of the nineteenth round. Charles White gave the decision a draw. The first six rounds were farcical. West was suffering from stage fright and Wal- cott was holding back. The opening of the seventh was the same, but West shot several leits on the face and Walcott went to his corner bleeding. Round 8—Walcott hooked a hard one on the ear. Westlanded a left on the neck. Joe led, but was stopped and West sent another left on the ear. Joe shot a right on the body.

Round 9—Tommy came up and got a right hook on the ear. Walcott janded right and left, but was countercd hard. Joe was fight- ing for all he was worth now, but Tommy was geme and had gotten over his iright.” The Boston boy was fighting back in great style. Round 10—West put a strong left on the wind. Joe sent in both hands to the head twice, but left a great opening which West missed. Walcott was trying hard, but West stopped most of the blows. Tommy was bleeding, but plucky, and was laying for a hard punch. Round 11—Walcott rushed, but was stopped with & right that sent his head back. West put right and left on the wind and leit on ear. Joe sent a hot one to the ribs. Some fierce ex- changes fellowed, of which West had all the best. Just as the bell rang West put in a right that made Joe wobble, and the colored boy was tired. This was West's round. Round 12—West landed left on the head. Walcott rushed to a clinch and used his free hand. West jabbed hard with the left on the face. Joe swung wildly. West landed a good right, staggering the black man, who came back wildly to a clinch. Walcott putin a good eft and took u left and right on the head in leturn. Both were fast tiring. West landed a rmasher on the jaw as the bell rang. Round 13—Walcott came up despérate. West jabbed him on the face and laughed. Both swung lefis on the wind. Walcott sent & €ood left to the face. West sent a hot left to the neck. Walcoit swung wildly for the head and was clearly guessing. West landed right and'left swings, driving Walcott to the ropes, where the colored boy fell and caught West's legs. Fierce exchanges followed and West sent the colored boy’s head back. The crowd went crazy for West. Round 14—Walcott was wild and could not find West. Tommy put a hard right on_the neck and shot a strong left to the wi Both countered heavily on the body. West landed right and leit on the head. West swung right on the ear. As Joe came in Westshotouta left that nearly took Waicott's head off.

Tommy sent two lefts on the face without a return. Joe'sleft eye was fast closing. West put a right on the jaw that sent Joe reeling. West hooked his left hand on the iace twice. A straight right on the face and. Walcott ran away. Both Joe's eyes were in bad shape. Round 16—Walcott rushed 1n to rongh it, and tbe referee had to sepurate them. Tommy put a right on the wind and Joe uppercut his man in the clinch. A hard right on the jaw made Walcott try wrestling tactics. West drove his left and rignt to the face. sending Joe to the ropes. They exchanged lefts on the neck. Joe swung three times, but missed. He was very wild. Round 17—Walcott came in with a left on the chin, but was Countered with right and left on the face.

An intercollegiate game of lacrosse w. probably be played by the two universi- ties next semester, and men are already in training for the event. It haslong been the desire of lacrosse enthusiasts at both Stanford and Berkeley to put this fascinating sport on record as an inter- collegiate contest. Everett Brown, cap- tain of the U. C. track team, has written to Charles Dole, captain of the Stanford track team, that the lacrosse players will gointo active training as soon as a siege of examinations at Berkeley has passed. The candidates for the team at Sianford practice several times a week. Most of the men are new st the game, but are learning the principles rapidly. William Dully, Charles Pope, John Brunton, A. C. Gamer, Milnor Roberts, Charles Dole, John Gregory, C. G. Decker, G. R. Green- leaf, William McLaine are among the number who have ordered “sticks” and plan to try for the team. e et TEDDY HALE'S FEAT. .

Y., Dec. 9.—*Teddy” Hale, the plucky and graceful Irishman, who has fairly ridden his way into popular favor in the six-day international bicycle race at Madison-square Garden, at 11 min- utes after 6 o’clock this evening, com- pleted 1000 miles, and was 67 miles ahead of the best previons record. Hale's time was 66 hours and 11 minutes for the 1000, as against the 74 hours and 41 minutes in which that distance was accomplished by Martin in the '93 race. ‘The Irishmar finished 900 miles at 10 A. M., and was then ninety-seven miles in advance of the record and fifty-one miles ahead of his nearest competitor, Rice of Wilkesbarre, Pa. Hale was feeling a bit tired, so having so much leeway he took a rest of two hours, and having partaken of three pounds of beefsteak, two chickens. and unlimited beef tea Le returped to the track feeling like a new man. He quickly | regained some of the time lost duriug his | sleep, and at 7 p. M. was thirtg-one miles | ahead of Rice. The latter was riding vluckily and keeping his position well. He completed his 1000 miles a little after 9P, M. Foster, Moore and Reading passed the 1000 mark by midnight. Of the next divi- sion Pierce, Schock, Smith and Taylor were closely bunched and all in pretty fair shape, except Schock, whose legs and stomach were. weak. Ashinger, Cassidy | and Maddox'were the next lot, with Gan- non and McLedd whipping in. Elkes quit this morning, having gone.622 miles.

Training for the Intercollegiate Contests Commenced — Lacrosse to Be Introduced, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Dec. 9. —Bince football has ceased to occupy the minds of the students, the track men have come into greater prominence. There has been a gradual improvement in the quality of each succeeding track team sent out from Stanford. Last year the Stan- ford and Berkeley teams tied in the inter- collegiate meet. Just what kind of a team will be produced for the next meet is a matter of conjecture. Charles Dole '98, captain of the track team, gave notice that the men would be expected to train on the track-three times a week.” His object is to bring out the distance runners especially, and to put the other men into as good form as pos- siple. Active training will be deferred until aiter the holidays. Several men have responded to the cail. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the favorite days for practice. 1 last year’s team Joe Bernhard, George Tcombs, Ralston Wilbur, C. R. Frazier, B. Rfiynold:, J. Colliver, David Brown and A. H. Jack have either graduated or have already competed four timesin an intercollegiate event. Most of these men are the best yet developed at Stanford and their absence will create vacancies difficult to fill. The class of 1900 brought in some prom- | de: McLaughlin’s highest run was 140 and average 14 14-36. Spinks’ total for the three games is 1500 and McLaughlin’s 1380. s Van Buskirk-Johnson Fight.

Wants to Wear a Star Because the Regular Detectives Are Lax. Declares the Reform Society Has a “Cinch” Against Three Hun. dred Offenders. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Dec. 9.—Specula- tion has been rife here to-day respecting the object of Parson McLean in applying to the Board of Police Commissioners to be appointed a special police officer with- out pay on behalf of the Parkhurst So- ciety. Rev. Mr. McLean to-night ended all speculation on this score by stating his position. “The reason I want to be an officer,” said he, ‘‘is this: When I see a man or woman has violated the law I want to have the authority to make the arrest im- mediately. 1 am not afraid. If I were an officer I would march my prisoner right up to the jail. “The Chief of Police has gone back on us, and I am determined to prosecute this work and bring the violators of the law to justice. I wanted tbe Commis- sioners to make me a special officer and be allowed to carry a weapon because I con- sidered it necessary to facilitate tie work. I felt that I needed the protection that the law throws about an officer. The matter was referred to the Chief for his opinion. It was then that Glass showed bis hand.” _On the point of employing outside of- bc%ru to assist in the crusade Mr. McLean said: ““We engaged a number of out-of-town detectives and many private citizens vol- unteered to procure evidence. No, we didn’t accept any of the Chief of Police’s detectives, for I could not trust one of them. We have a ‘cinch’ on 300 cases. We have the evidence to convict. There are several cases now before the court and we will enter a number of complaints in Justice Owen’s court. As fast as these cases are disposed of we will file new ones. We do not want to crowd the courts too much,” £ NSRS Ty FIGHT FOK WATER ENDED, Judge MoKinley Decides the Lytle Creek Contes LOS ANGELES, CAL., Dec. 9.—The long drawn out litigation respecting the waters of the Lytle Creek, in San Bernardino County, has finally reached an end in a decision by Judge McKianley of the Su- perior Court of this county, which was handed down to-day.
