6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1897. BANEY SCHREIBER N LUCK AGHIN Thornton Stake Captured | by Schiller in a Canter. | Thornhill, the Dangerous Con- tender, Broke Down Badly. | The Cheat First in the Elmwoed Steke for Two-Year-Olds—Three Forks Scorel a Win. A cold, raw, biling day confronted the | turee starters in the Thoraton stake at four miles, decided at the Emeryville track yesterday, and the race was entirely devoid of feature or excitement. 'Twas no wonder that the old-timers who gather at the track every time one of these long- distance races is decided, who in the long ago saw Thad Stevens, True Blue and | other heroes of the California turf do | battle, cast a withering glance at the present generation of turf followers, and then in disgust sought to drown their grief by imbibing liberal potations at the bar. The old veterans were all there, mingling with a big crowd of latter-day race-goers. The Thornton etake, of course, was uppermost in the minds of all preseat. There were but three starters—Schiller, Thornhill and Lobengula. The first named was a 1to 2 favorite, with 13 to 5 laid against Thoornhill. Lobengula was the outsider. Schiller led Thornhill for two miles, when the latter passed him and was in front for nearly half a mile. He then fell back and Schiiler again assuming the lead | won as he pleased irom Lobeneula in 8:041¢ for the distance. Thornhill strag- gled 1n forty lengths or more behind Lo- benguls, and it was then discovered that he had broken down badly in_the off fore leg. There was just aspark of enthusiasm manifested as Sims returned to the stand with the winner. 1 The track was sticky; still four of the | six favorites earned brackets. Twenty- four bookmakers laid odds in the betting ring. The 6 to favorite, Shield Bearer, through a streak, managed to capture the opening six-farlong run, with a field ol eight lining up. Peril, an outsider, jumped away in front at the start, with Mainstay a* her heels. The mare carried | the big chestnut wide into the siretch, and Jones, on the favorite, saving fully four lengths, was enabled to win by a head. Peril was third behind Mainstay. 2z¢ll’s mare, Babe Murphy, opened an even money choice for the miie and a fur- loug selling affair and receded to 2 to 1, There was a very heavy play on both St. A'goon and Frank Jaubert, the former being played down from 8 to 4. Long Lady made the running for about seven furlongs, when she had enough. Frank Jaubert then took the lead and won as far | as he liked from St. Aignon, which, in a drive, 100k tbe pacs from the favorite by | a head. Toe mile and a quarter handicap was declared off and a cheap five and a half furlong ““dog’” run substituted. Siegfried was a9 to 5 favorite at post time, but was beaten out cleverly by the 3101 second choice, Mercutio. which led from the rise of the barrier. Ezekiel was third. The Elmwood stake for two-year-olds, worth $700 to the winner, attracted a field of six to the post. The distance was four furlongs, and the 7 to 10 favorite, The | Cheat, won cleverly by half a length from Roxey Murphy, a 10 to 1chance. Estro was third. In the final race on the card, a hurdle | handicap over one mile and thres fur- | longs, Three Forks, tbe favorite, out- classed his field and won without any ng in reserve from Arundel. Hello was second choice, but failed to get within the money. Colusa Irrigation in Litigation. Suit hes been instituted by Attorneys George H. Mexwell and R. M. F. Soto on behalf of J. 8.

Perilous Trip Made by the Son of Lyman J. Gage Through the W.Ids of Alaska. SEATTLE, Wasn., Feo. 20.—Eli Gage, son of President-elect McKinley's Secre- tary of the Treasury, arrived in Seattle this morning from Alaska after having made the perilous overland sledge jour- ney from the great Yukon country. The Secretary’s son can now go back to Chicago and share honors with another Chicago man, Charles J. Hamilton, who made the first overland journey from Alaska to the coast four yearsago. Gage occupied sixty days in making the trip, having left the Yukon on December 18, He did not learn of the appointment of until he arrived at Juneau. When Gage reached this city he received a number of telegrams from Chicago and among them was one which said: “*Come home at once and do not talk.” It was signed by his father, ana what significance is behind it is a question which probably only the new secretary is in & position to answer. Gage is a young man not long from his hooks, but is married, nevertneless;, and nnorth. Hemar- ried a Miss Wears of Chicago. The Weares are behind the North American Transportation and Trading Yukon, having steamers and stations from St. Michaels on up the river. Mr. Gage came out ostensibly to see the country and get acquainted with some of the realities of lile in a commercial way, but he has been attending to business more or less for the Weares. He decided to bring out the company’s mail when it was found difficult to engase any one who could be trusted with the important dispatches upon which the supplies the com- Ing season and to lose which would mean di-tress and a sbortage of supplies on the Yukon next winter. Gage said his sledge journey from the Yukon was filled with the exciting ad- ventures which usually accompany such a | journey. He was glad that he made the trip, and if another opportunity ever presented itself to repeat his experience he would taze advantage of it. Gage's sleds w; drawn by nine dogs. While they were sturdy animals, they gave out several to have trouble in reaching civilization. - GUESTS OF THE THEOSOPHISTS. Maval Officers Will Attend ‘the Dedication of the Point Loma College.

They Will Return and Figit Beneath Their Country’s Standard. Hard Boxing and Gymnastic Practice at Panteges’ D:v:lops Olymp- ian Musc es A. Pantages, one of the youngest mem- bers of the Greek committes, is the pro- prietor of a restaurant on Fifth street where all his warlike countrymen are wont to congregate nightly and discuss the probability of a war with Turkey. Their patriotic ambition soars above an isolated skirmish, or an exchange of pro- jectiles between two warships separated by a mile of water; they are eager for wholesale slaughter at close quarters. Like Harry Hoispur, they bave for- sworn the tilting of lips and are seeking for “bloody noses and cracked crowns.” They are saying with Pistol, though they have amended the phra: “Let us to Crete. Like horseleeches, my boys. To suck, to suck, the very blood to suck.” Pantages himsel! has rigged up a very respectable gymnasium bebind his res- taurant and Lere these youthful members of the company are developing thews and sinews with which to make things inter- esting for the turbaned tyrants when they bave the latter at the bayonet’s point. 1. Alfaros is full of a deadly purpose. I want to kil fifty Turks,”” he said last night, “and then die.”” But this is a di- gression. Pantages is a member of the San Francisco Atuletic Clubana recently jo nea the Manhattans. He boxes at 125 pounds, knows something aboul Greco- Roman wrestling and enjoys a local repu- tation and a name, He ranks in fact as an ali-around light- weight atblete, and is just now busily en- gaged in imparting some of his knowledge to his fellow-countrymen. Many of the vounger Greeks in this community left Greece before they were 21—ihe age of conscription—and have not therefore en- joyed the advantages of a military train- ing Frank Campoorakes, Gus Carvoones and George Malaverzos all taree sadly con- fessed last night that they were in tuis position. “But,” they added, “if we goto Crete with the company we intend to pat. in our two years in the army before we return.” Pantages also left his native land before the age of service, though he belongs to a military family. Two of his elder brothers were in the army during the blockading of the Piraewus in 1887, and he received a letter from his father a few days ago informing him that they had both been promoted and expected to be ordered to Crete at any moment. They are attached to & regiment which bears the name of the King. Apostalo, Pantages’ partner, served for many years in the Greek navy, and though not so voung as be was he is still ready 1o say “"Hear!” to the muster-roll if called upon. *“Weare r ceiving recruits every day,” said Pantages, “and are confident that our company will number 300 when we start out a fortnight hence. The mass-meeting in Druids’ Hall, Sut- ter street, will take place this evening, commencing at 8 o'clock. After the speeches by the members of the coremit- tee and others refreshments provided by A. Koste will be discussed until it is time to disperse. ThLe grand Nationa) ball in aid of the Cretan sufferers follows on the 27th inst. at Turn Verein Hall, 323 Turk sreet. IN SEAAIE AND AsSEMBLY. General Appropriation Bil by Commiitee. SACRAMENTO, Car., Feb. 20.—Thse As- sembly this morning scught to reconsider the motion adopted last night permitting the Military Committee to go to San Francisco on Washington’s birthday, but a motion to that effect was lost. The Ways and Means Committee re- ported the general appropriation bill. One tnousand extra copies ot the Senate Reported county government act were ordered printed. The Rules Committee reported certain bills for consideration rext Wednesday and Tnnrsday nig hts. The Assembly joint resolution relating to the punishment of seamen for leaving their vessels before the term of service ex- pires was adopted. An amendment was adopted to the act for the organization of county insurance companies. The Assembly passed the bill appro- priating $20,000 for the coniingent ex- penses of the Legislature. The Assemibi lections Committee re- notted to-dayAndayor o Kelsey (R.), un- seating McLauren (D.) in the contest from the San Jose (Fifty-fifth) district. A minority report favoring McLauren w.ll be filed on Tuesday next. The a ternoon session of the Assembly was devoted to the introduction of bills, this being the last day according to tue rules for the introduction of bills. A score of bills were introduced, the most import- ant of which are: By Cutter, appropriat- ing $8000 for the compilation of the history of pub ic schools, to be written by John C. Pelton; by Caminetti, establish- ing the boundary between Amaaor and El Dorado ~counties; by Em- mons, permiting unincorporated mu- nicipalities to maintain fire depart- ments; by Sims, permitting the with- drawal of articles of incorporation upon petition of the stockholders; by Power, prohibiting the sending of minors to saloons and disorderly places; by Shana- han, to compromise bill appropriating $10,000 for legislative printing. At 3:3) o'clock Leavitt moved to ad- journ. Power of San Francisco asked for tme to complete the preparation of the bill which he wanted to introduce in the interest of seamen and soldiers. A bill, whaich will be the last of the session un- less the rules are suspended, requires ali canneries to label cans with tke month and year in which the food was canned. Adjourned until Tuesday next. At this morning's session the Senate considered two bills, one wmppropriating $12,500 for the contingent expenses of the Senate and the other making an appropri- ation of $20,000 for the contingent ex- venses of the Assembly. Withington op- po-ed the Senate appropriation and of- fered an ameudmen: making the appro- priation $8500. The amendment was de- feated and both bills passed. Braunhart introduced a bill directing the Railway Commission to require a statement of earnings made by ail street railways, with a cost of operating expenses, including construction. The board is authorized to require the issuance of commutation tickets by street railways. Referred to the Committee on Corporations. Wolfe's resolution that the Senate do Dot recede from the amendment made to the resolution 10 investigate the printing office was adopted, and Voorheis, More- bouse and La Rue were appointed a com- mitiee to confer with the Assembly com- mittee, Mahoney introduced a proposed amend- ment to the constitution making the salary of members of the Legislature $500 W T e e e e T e T e NEW TO-DAY DRY GOO: CUNnCiirpoes?

SACRAMENIO, CaL, Feb. 20.—What Senator Braunhart failed toaccomplish by direct means, he 1s now endeavoring to bring about indirectly. To-day, the last on which bills can be introduced under the rules, he submitted the following: The Board of Railrosd Commissioners are herepy authorized to require a statement to be made by any andall sireet railway companies operating in_any oy, city and county, or | town in this State; aud for the purpose of fix- { ing rates of faré to be charged by such railway companies, are authorized to re- re such statement t be made to them as to the -earniggs, Operating ex- penses, cost of construgtion and other matters relating to the operation of street railroads as they may deem necessary for the purpose of fixing such rates of fare. Such board 1s further authorized (o require the issuance of commutation tickets and to fix the number of such tickets that snail be soid at one Lime and the rate to be paid therefor, and the hours during which such commuta- tion tickets snall be accented by such railway corporation for transportation thereon; and when notified 0 to do by such Board of Rail- road Commissioners, such street railroad company or corporation shall issue commuta- tion tickets upon the tender of the price thereof, and shall receive the same in pas- ment for transportation during the hours specified in such notice. Each violation of this law is to be pun- ished by a forfeiture of §250 to the person who is unlawfully charced more than the rate fixed by the commission. The question of the jurisdiction of the Reilroad Commission over sfreet railroads is now a matter of consideration on the part of the Attorney-General, the matter having been referred to him by the com- mission aot long ago, owing to the re- fusal of the secretary of the Market-street Railwav Company to submit the books of that corporation 1o the inspection of the commission. It is understood that the powers of the commission in the matter are to be tested in the State courts as soon as the pending case in the Federal court is disposed of. Shouid this bill become a law it will obviate the necessity of the contemplated legal proceedings. After e RANDSBURG'S INNOVATION. Gold-Seekers Utilize Plows in Their Quest for the Eiusive Nug- get. LOS ANGELES, Car, Feb. 20.—The sturdy prospectors and hardy miners of Calitornia have, since the days of 49, in- vented and perfected many and subtle schemes for locating the alluring nugget and the speckled quartz. Many a novelty in mining has been introduced into the mountain fastnesses in search of the elusive ore that glitters and enriches; but it remained for certain claim-owners at Randsburs, the wizard EARNS MILLIONS A5 HE TRAVELS Rich Prize for Which a German Lad Is Glebe- Trotting. Must Circle the Earth to Gain Possession of a Larg: Estate. Nearing the End of a Trip Made Necassary by the Provisions of a Will. PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 20.—Heinrich von Damreich, 16 years old, arrived here yesterday afternoon, aiter having almost compieted a tour around the world. He departed for San Krancisco to-night. Von Damreich 1s, perhaps, the youngest gen- tlemau ever having made the trip alone. He is the sole heir of a deceased mil- lionaire pipe manufacturer.of Chemniiz, Germany. A peculiar provision in the elder von Damreich’s will prompted the young man to undertake this journey so early in life. In that document was ex- press d a desire that the decedent’s heir should visit all the countries of the globe to be reached by steamer or rail ere he re- solved to create a home for Should the heir comply with this wish of the testator at any time before he reached the tweniy-fiith year of his age ne might, at the termination of his tour, claim an accounting from the trustees of the estate and demand that they place him in abso- lute control of it. There was another proyision which stipulated that at the end of the young man’s travels he write an interesting ana original volume recounting what he saw and experienced, and copies of that book must be submitted for criticism to a pro- fessor of German literature in both the Bonn and Heidelberz universities. It must by them be pronounced grammati cally pure, 90 per cent perfect in construc- tion and in no manner hackneyed. Then the youth might revel in his father’s mii- lions as early as he pleased. camp of the Mojave, to go plowiag for gold. This innovation in prospecting is proving eminently satisfactory to the originators of the scheme, and is destined to become tbe fad on the Rand. *Prospect plowing’ was first introduced in what is known as the stringer district, where Messrs. Wheipley and Mamby bought some property from the Stephens boys. They procured a big plow, hitched eight bLorses to it and plowed furrows across it. The soil 1s s decomposed granite, and the beavy rains have put it in fine condition to work. They put their plow in deep snd ran two or three times ina place, and were able to tear the soil up to a depth of two feet or more. 1In this way they ran on to five or six stringers, a!l prospecting well, but further development willjbe necessary to show what is in them. “I have very successfully carried out one of the conditions of my late father’s will,” said Master Damreich last night, “‘and as for the other I am certain of being equally successful. In the first place I pride myself upon my thoroughly grounded knowledge of the purest German ian- guage, therefore I fear no faulitiness in ke diction of my forthcoming literary work. When I leit home I was not only supplied witn letters of creait to leading bankers all over the world, but also with personal letters of introduction to the heads of those houses. By these means I was enabled to learn more than the ordi- nary traveler who writes books. T.is assist me in producing an original volume.” e San Lajasi Water Kates.

UKTAH, CaL, Feb. 20.—Many promi- nent citizens of this county have pro- tested indignantly against the remarks contained in the speech of J. B. Sanford, while addressing the Assembly on Mon- day last on behalf of his monthly wages bill. Sanford termed the workirgmen in the redwood camps on the coast of this county as slaves toiling in an American Siberia, and pictured theirs as a pitiable condition as regards their food and shel- ter. In contradiction to the statements made by Sanford, it issaid that the men employeq by the’ various mill companies on the coast of this county are generally exceedingly well fed and housed. | Judge McGarvey, a pioneer of this | county and late Buperior Judge, terms | Sanford’s address “A dastardly outrage | on tne citizens of Mendocino County.’’ Hale McCowen, County Clerk, says: *1 have visited every logging camp on the | coast of this county and nev.r witnessed ?"{1 of the conditions portrayed by San- | ord.” 5 | Assessor W. P. McFaul, for many vears | a resident of the coast, says: “Sanford s | statement is altogether untrue, and that exactly the reverse of Mr. Sanford’s state- | went is the case.” | _Supervisor John Flanagan of the coast | district is highly indignant over Sanford's | remarks and pronounces them false, To the Editor of the San Francisco Cali—Sig In & recent report of proceedings in the Stat Legislature the Assembiyman from Mendocino | County Is reported as saying that the proprie. tors of milis keep their men in a state of serf- | dom by compelling them to buy all their sup- | plies ut stores owned by their employers, pa; ing them four prices for the goods, i Also thet if & man declines to be paid in tnis | way “his name is put upon & blacklist and he can get no employment in the same business anvwhere along the const.” Further, he is reported as ga; food furnished the employes of the 1 dis:racefully unfit for human beings,” and | that the provision made for the comfort of the men as regards shelter and warmth 1s wholly ignored by employers.

The unanimous approval of the bill by the Assembly, while it does eredit to their human- ity us developed under the representations made on the floor of the House, seems to the writer to reflect very strongly upon the good seusc of the members in accepting without verificatlon €uch wild siatements as sober facts, especiutly when made by the author of & bill.Who, it Was nutorious, was extremely anx- ious o push his javorite measure through, That the men engaged in lumbering on the coast are having hard times is only too true, but it is not the employes alone who have se for complaint.
