THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUND JANUARY 17, 1897 LEADVILLE FACES A GRAVE CRISIS The Carbonate Hill Mines " Being Stripped of Their Pumps. Miles of Workings Will Then Be Flooded and Operations Must Cease. Settlement of the Striks Is Now a Secondary Question—Merchants in Despair. LEADVILLE, Coro, Jan. 16.— The erisis in the troubles which Leadville has undergone since last June have been reached and a clamity far worse than the pirike of the metallic miners here has Overtaken the camp. For the first time in fifteen !years the immense pumps that have drained the big mines on Carbonate Hill, the wealth centers of Leadville, are closed completely, having been entirely pulled out, while the pipe lines connect~ ing are to be removed at once. The Maid Henriette pumps had a ca- pacity of 1800 gallons of water a minute, and depending upon them were nearly all the great mines of Carbonate Hill. Two days ago,as stated in these dispatches, men were put to work pulling out the pumps, but so serious was the undertaking that people here were loth to believe that the intention would be really carried out. To-day there can bs no doubt, for the pumps have been o far taken dut that to put them back wounld be to go all over the ground again. How long the mines affected by this move can hold out is merely a matter for | conjecture. There are miles of workings | on Oarbonate Hill and these will prob- ably fill up slowly, so that the down town workings may not be reached by the rush of waters for a month or two« It is, how- | a question of time, and a month | doubtediy find many mines idle t of the flood. It is of littls consequence now whether the strike is settled or not, as no one has | anything to gain by & settlement. It will | be many months before there will be em- | tor Isham G. Harris of Tennessee has re- ceived a telegram stating that his wife is seriously ill at Paris, Tenn., and advising him to come at once. The Senator him- seli, who is 79 years of age, has been for some time ~in such condition of failing health as to arouse the affectionate sympathies of his friends. He has been confined to his room for over a week, but left for Tennessee this afternoon accompanied by hisson, Edward Harris. GUNBOAT ORDERED TO BANGKOK. Wounding of a United States Consul by Siamese So/diers Is Said to Be the Cause. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jan. 16.—The gunboat Machias left Canton for Bangkok, Siam, this morning in obedience to cable orders from Becretary Herbert “to protect American interests.” The distance is about 2000 miles, and the Machias should reach her destination in about a week. The State Department declined to ai- vulge the character of the information which it has received from Banckok which causes the sudden dispatch of a warship to the scene, but there' is no doubt that the attack on United States Vice-Consul Edward B. Kellert by Siam- ese soldiers is at the bottom of it. == Press dispatches three weeks azo an- nounced that Mr. Kellert, who is an un- paid official appointed by Minister and Consul-General Barrett two years ago, had been fired upon and wounded by Siamese soldiers. It was impossible to confirm this news at the State Department at the time, but it was explained there that Mr. Kellert had a right to engage in trade, and possibly some personal affair of his own had led to his arrest by local authorities. To-day it is learned that for some time litigation had been in progress over the estate of an American named Cheek, who held a valuable teak concession from the Siamese Government. This had been highly remunerative dur- ing Cheek's lifetime, but when after his death it became advisable to wind up bis estate the Siamese Government stepped in and took measures to prevent the sale of & number of elephants he had raised and emploped in getting out the timber. Iuvis also said that Kellert was the exec- utor of the estate or the agent of the heirs, and his activity in their behalf had probably led to iriction with the Siamese authorities, who overstepped the usual legal methods in trying to get rid of him. No American warship has been to Bang- kok for about seven years, and while Minister Barrett has been well received there, the Siamese have not as much re- spect for the ‘American flag as for that of either Great Britain or France. g s e o OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

C,, Jan. -16.—The | State Department only this morning re- | ceived official news of the death of Min- ister Willis and that in the briefest of telegrams. Usually when a man-of-war is available the remains of a Minister dying abroad are placed on board the warship and brought home in state. The only United States vessel now in the harbor of Honolulu is the old-fashioned corvette Alert, of 500 horsepower, with a single screw and of only 1020 tonnage. It would take her at least fifteen aays to make the voyage from Honolulu to San Francisco and she has no accommodations suitable for the comfort of the deceased Minister’s family, consisting of his widow and his only son. The family, it is under- stood, distinctly preferred that the body should be transported by the regular mail steamer, which was to leave Hono- lulu on the 13th of January and is due in San Francisco on January 20. ‘There is no doubt that this course has been taken, In view of the broad divergence of views between the President and Congress on the Hawaiian question, it is altogether probable that %reaident Cleveland will leave the appointment of Minister Willis’ successor to President-elect McKinley. - TO A4ID INDIA’S STARVING. Relief Measures Adopted at a Large Meeting in London, LONDON, Exa., Jan. 16.—A large meet- ing was held at the Mansion House to-day: for the purpose of furthering the work of aiding the sufferers by the famine in Inaia.

Curzon, Under-Sec- retary for Foreign Affairs. A resolution declaring it to be a public duty to promote the work of extending the measures for relief was offered by the Duke of Connaught, whereupon an attempt was made by the socialist leader Hyndman to move an amencment deprecating the measures of . relief for India in view of the distress in England. The Lord Mayor refused to listen to Hynd- man, but he persisted in his attempt to move his amendment and he was put out of the hall amid applause. The resolution of the Duke of Connaught was adopted.

Piercing Shrieks as the Flames Envelop the Slumbering Little Ones. Heroic Work of the Matron, Who Lost Her Own Offspring in + Saving Others. DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 16.—Fire com- pletely destroyed the Buckners Orphans’ Home, near here, errly this morning. Sixteen children were cremated and nine injured, three of them fatally. The deed are: Bertie Britton, 12 years old; Martin and Milton Britton, twins, 10 years; Car- los Jonmes, 6 years; Willie Richards, 9 years; Grover Cleveland Yarborough, 12 years; Oscar Jackson, 12 years; Preston Kribles, 12 years; William Miller, 7 years; Virgie Nelson, 9 years; Nelson Black, 9 years; Richard Marks, 9 years; Arthur W. Edwards, 12 years; Oscar Coward, 7 years, and Charles Bannon, 13 years. The injured are: Dick Richards, 10 years, fatally; Dannie Gray, 6 years, fatally; Charles Friend, 10 years, fatallv; Sadie Britton, 18 years; Bennie Ware, 8 years; Samuel Henderson, 11 years; Earl Doodle, 7 years; James Scott, 8 years, and Frank Cheffln, 7 years. The fire was discovered about midnight. Mrs. Britton, the boys’ matron, had been in bed some time when she was awakened by a smell of smoke. She jumped to the floor and found it so hot that she could not stand upon it, and immediately raised the cry of fire. The attaches were hastily aroused and sent in all directions to awalen the children. In her anxiety for the safety of the inmates Mrs. Britton forgot her own children, and after frantic efforts at rescue they were burned to death, Before Mrs. Britton retired for the night she had the boys clean out and prepare a stove in the room just under her for the morning fire. 8he then sent one of the large boys to see 1if the work had been carefully done. He replied that it was, but it is thought live coals were scattered on the carpet near the stove and this caused the holo- caust. The building was of wood and the fire spreadywith great rapidity. The chil- dren were hastily aroused and hurried from the building wrapped in their night- clothes and bed-quilts. All were ‘badly frightened and when the shrieks of those who were peing cremated in the roaring mass of flames reached their ears they became almost unmanugeable, and were with difficulty prevented from rushing into the fire in an attempt at rescue. The building was soon destroyed and at daylight the work ol searching the ruins was taken up. All the children were ac- counted for by noon. The home was ten miles from Dallas and it would have been impossible to get aid out in time had it been asked for. The matter will be inves- tigated. BUCKEYES" ANNUAL BANQUET. Many Distinguished Men Gather About Delmonico’s Festive Board and Toast Each Other. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan, 16.—The Ohio Bociety gave its eleventh annual dinner this evening at Delmonico’s. Generat Henry L. Burnett, presi- dent of the society, presided, while about him partaking of ‘Buckeye’ cheer and hospitality sat Gover- nor Asa Bushnell of Ohio, United States Senator Joseph R.

Governor Bushnell said that the Ohio man had great trouble to escape the Presidential lightning ana that every Buckeye, as a consequence, had to carry & lightning-rod with him. He was glad that Ohio had for her Governor a son of New York, and pointed that his proudest feather was that %1 Elis birthplace, Canterbury Hill, Rome, “You‘ve had a President for four years, now vou'll have one of ours for four years,” said the Governor.

Y., Jan. 16.—After the performance at Hyde & Rehman’s Thea- ter this evening, Bob Fitzsimmons, with some friends, went to a near-by saloon, where they drank quite freely. At midnight an 18-year-old newsboy with a bundle of papers under his arm entered the place. Fitzsimmons grabbed the papers from the boy and called him a vile name. The lad turned and smashed Fitz on the nose. Fitz started in to beat the boy. The crowd interfered and whipped Fitz. The lights were turned off and the police were called. Fitz 13 now locked in the saloon awaiting the arrival of the police. S B ARG MERE BUNCOMBE., What the Biamese Consul-General at New York Says. NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. 16.—Isaac Townsend Smith," Siamese Consul-Gen- eral at New York, when shown a copy of the Washineton dispatch regarding the sending of the gunboat Mas to Bang- kok, Siam, “to ptotect American inter- ests,”” said he did not‘attach any im- portance to the action. “Dispatches from about the attack on Vice-Consul Kellert,”” said he, “are newspaper sensations. The whole affair, in my opinion, is mere buncombe. If the ernment would have communicated with me officially before tnis. I have not re- ceived a word from them on the subject.” T Lively Kiot in Georgia. MACON, Ga., Jan. 16.—A special from Fort Valley, Ga., says: Fort Valley was thrown into a fever of excitement this aft- ernoon when a message was received from Byron, Ga., asking for assistance, as there Wwas a riot on, and unless assistance was obtained & good many people would be killed. Since then nothing has been heard, as the telegraph office at Byron is closed. Among the wounded are €. C. Richard- son, Caleb Bateman and Charles Bate- man. The row started with the above men and was joined in by others. Sheriff Cooper has gone tothe scene. R Snge, Gt 2he Wheeling and Lake Eyie Trouble. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 16.—President Blair of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway Company made a statement to- day in reference to tle appointment of re- ceivers, saying that the difficulties of the company were the result chiefly of low rates in the bituminous coal traffic, which comprises more than half the company's tonnage. Strikes and bank failures did the rest. The property, howeyer, is in ex- cellent condition and the interest on the bonded debt is puntually pawd. S ngaiey EVERHART DEFEATS ERNST. The Brooklyn Boy Goes Out in the Twelfth Round—Guyed by the Spectators at the Outset. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 16.—Jack Everhart of New Orleans knocked out Billy Ernst of Brooklyn in the twelfth round of their battle at the Broadway Athletic Club to-night. The bout was to have gone fiiteen rounds, but Everhart settled the matter with a right on the jaw in the twelfth. The Southerner had the best of it from the time they started fighting in earnest, which was in the fourth round. He punched Ernst badly and the Brooklyn boy’s features were un- pleasantly decorated. The bartle was near being a fizzle, as Ernst refused to go on for a deceision. When the crowd heard this announce- ment they guyed the fighters unmerci- fully during the tame work of the first three rounds. Then .the management made the announcement at the end of the third round that Referee Dick Roche would give a decision whether Ernst liked it or not. The battle took a different tone then and the crowd was satisfied. The bout attracted 2000 sporting men to the club. Everhart was handled by Dan Creedon and Tommy White, while Ernst was looked after by Dan Gallagher and Joe Burke. The first round was devoted to rather tame sparring, and the audience expressed its disgust by whisting “Home, Bweet Home” in cborus, The second and third rounds were fairly fast, but did not suit the crowd. Then Manager O'Rourke got into the ring and announced that there would be a deci- sion. Ernst objected, but Everhart was willing to go for a decision. The men got to work on level time. Both swung on the neck and mixed it up at close quarters, Ernst landing a great left swing on the neck as the bell rang. In the fifth round Everhart put both hands hard on the body several times and swung a couple of hard lefts on the neck. Ernst was very wide with wild swings for the jaw. The sixth round was uneventful. Ever- hart was not putting up his usual fight. Everhart opened the seventh with a corking left on the mouth and forced the fighting in a lively style. He shoved his left into Ernst’s face and got away. With a series of left-hand swings on Ernst's face Everhart made Ernst’s nose swell and raised a “mouse’’ over his left eye. Everhart swung right and left in the next, driving his man to the ropes a cou- ple of times and drawing the blood from the Brooklyn boy’s nose. Ernst retaliated with a couple of bard swings on the jaw and face. Ernst's left eye was nearly closed. They exchanged some hard body blows in the tenth and Ernst’s nose bled. Ernst showed well in the next and had the best of the round. The Brooklyn boy’s face was badly swollen. Everhart rushed at his man like s tiger in the twelfth and pounded him hard with both hands, splitting the Brooklynite's lips. Then Jack got in & fearful right swing, which caught Ernst on the jaw and sent him to the floor. It was a clean knockdown. Ernst was unable torise and was counted out. The round lasted 1 minute and 56 seconds. R George Dizon and Frank Erne Matohed. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 16.—George Dixon of Boston and Frank Erne of Bui- falo were to-day signed to meet in a six- round contest before the Quaker City Ath- letic Club of Philadelphia on Monday evening, February 1. They will weigh in at 124 pounds on the afternoon of the con- test, at 3 o’clock. el s No Decision Rendered. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 16.—Joe Walcott, the colored welter-weight, and Bobby Dobbs of this city, also colored, met in a six-round bout at the Southwark Athletic Olub to-night. No decision was rendered, but Walcott had slightly the better of the contest. e = DEMANDS AN EXPLANATION, Congrossman Money Does Not Relish the Statement of General Leo. WABHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.—*I de- sire to know whether or not the denial of my statement to Secretary Olney on your behalf was authorized by you. I have always regarded you as a gentleman, and as I am not accustomed to having the lie given to my statements, I desire an ex- planation.” This, if not the exact language, is at least close to the words employed in a let~ ter which Congressman Money of Missis- sippi has sent to Consul-General Lee. The difference between the two grows out of the statement made by Congressman Money to Secretary Olney as coming from General Lee, which was to the effect that since his return to Cuba General Lee was more than ever convinced that the Span- ish would never be able to putdown the rebellion. The publication of this important piece of information was followed afterward by a denial purporting to have come from General Lee that he had ever given Con- gressman Money any such message for Sec- retary Olney as Mr. Money delivered. The publication of the denial hasangered Mr. Money, and he is_determined to have an explanation. He has stated to his friends that his personal characler and official position will not permit him to stand branded as having uttered a false- hood in such an important matter as that of a messaga from -the Consul-General to Cuba to the Becretary of State of the TUnited States. —— Notadle Deaths.

A Large Assemblage Listens With Interest to Obituary Eloguence. De Armond of Missouri Strays From the Beaten Path and Discourses on the Future Life. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jan. 16.—The House to-day, in accordance with an order entered some weeks ago, turned aside from the consideration of public business and listened to eulogies upon the life and services of the late ex-Speaxer, Charles F. Orisp of Georgia. The occasion was marked by an unusually large attendance of members, while the galleries were filled by auditors, who iistened with interest to the obituary eloguence. Tributes were paid to the deceased by Representatives Henderson (R.) of Iowa, Catchings (D.) of Mississippi, Dalzell (R.) of Pennsylvania, Richardson (D.) of Ten- nessee, Bartlett (D.) of Georgia, McMillin (D.) of Tennessee, Cammings (D.) of New York, Hermann (R.) of Oregon, De Ar- mond (D.) of Missouri, Dinsmore (D.) of Arkansas, Buck (D.) of Louisiana, Cooper (D.) of Florida, Swanson (D.) of Virginia, Lacey (R.) of Iowa, Bell (Pop.) of Colo- rado, Wheeler (D.) of Alabama, Wood- ward (D.) of North Carolina, Layton (D.) of Ohio, McLaurin (D.) of South Carolina, McCreary (D.) of Kentucky, Wellington (R.) of Maryland, Tate (D.) of Georgis, Livingston (D.) of Georgia, Lawson (D.) of Georgia and Morse (R.) of Massa- chusetts. While the eulogies were being delivered Speaker Reed called to the chair tem- porarily Richardson of Tennessee, who was Speaker pro tem. under the adminis- tration ot Speaker Crisp, the first instance in the present Congress where a Democrat has been asked to preside over the deliber- ations of the House. In concluding his remarks Judge De Ar- mond of Missouri departed somewhat from the beaten path of such discourses and considered the future of the departea, saying: His spirit, where? Has its existence ter- minated with the existence of the body? Whatever philosophy may say, man rebels at the thought. The hope, sometimes clung to 1n desperation, sometimes clung to in bright- est anticipations, that there is a hereafter, ana that men live in that hereafter, none of us will give up. The philosophy of ages of calm reas- oning cannot banish it. It springs as an in- heritance of humanity, asan instinct in the soul of every being that breathes. We belleve—our hopes, our affections, ail that we hold near and dear in life admonish us to believe, and constrain us to believe—that our friend has not perished, but in a higher and nobler sphere this great intellect, this great, loving spirit will flourish snd expand, and achieve new aud perform new acts of glory and of grace. Before entering upon the execution of e e e TULL ENJOYMENT Did you ever accept half a dollar from a man when he squarely and fairly should have given you adollar? If he owes you money you find a way to com- L pel him to pay it. Yet you owe a duty to your- self that you don’t even recognize.” Not being able to get half the L pleasure out of life that you were intended to have, and which most surely is YOURS BY RIGHT. Every time you have those bad dreams, those fainting spells, those cold sweats, those hard headaches, those nerv- ous and ‘‘all-gone’’ feelings—eachone says for itself, ‘“Here is a man that only gets half the pleasure in life that is due him.” Whose fault is it now? Itis your own! Ever since the great discovery of Hudyan—a perfectly harmless and yet an all-powerful remedy for all classes of weakness and nervous debility— you have had no excuse for not being a whole an, and a man who is able to enjoy all the gifts of nature. If you don’t already know: all about Hudyan and you suffer, write to or call on the doctors of the great Hudson Medical Institute at the corner of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets, and they will give yeou, free of charge, scores and hun- dreds of testimonials about the greatest of all remedies. Never mind how ill you are, they will cure you sure, e T —— e~ < — = the order of the day the House passed two or three private bills, also one authorizing the Columbia and Red Valley Railroad Company to build a bridge across the Columbie River in Washington.
