FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, S P AY 29, 1897. LIKE A BAND OF RAVING MANIACS Impotent Rage of the Mutineers at San Quentin. Spend a Night Shrieking and Banging Against Iron Cell-Doors. Wiil Be Kept on Bread and Water Until They Consent to Re- sume Work. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CaL., May 28 Never before in the history of San Quen- tin prison has there been such a season of tumult and excitement as that of last night. The 720 prisoners who rebelled snd refused to work in the big jutemil combined to make night hideous and shriek upon shriek rent the air, while an incessant banging ageinst the massive iron doors added to the racket and confusion. There was little opportunity for sieep in the ison last night on account of the mnoise. To-day it was more quiet, although the hammering and howling was heard at in- tervals thronghout the morning and dur- ing the afternoon. ‘Within the confines of the great stone wall, securely locked in solitary confine- ment, 720 men are living upon bread and water and with this frugal fare they must be content until they come to terms. With- out a doubt the revolt was instigated by the opium fiends, who incited the men to refuse to submit to the rules of the prison. Every vrisoner has adifferentjcomplaint to ma The food supplied by the State is declared to be insufficient, but it is a indisputable fact tbat the prisoners are fed much better than many a family in the State at whose head is a man willing 1o work. Not long azo President Fitzgerald ot the Board of Prison Directors visited the big penitentiary and inspected the food whica was supplied to the prisoners every day. This morning Warden W. E. Hale received adispatch from him stating that the Prison Directors wouid stand by the warden in all he did, as they were convinced be was in the right. The demands of the imprisoned men will not be granted. The bread and water diet will be continuea until the last man of them gives in. The revolt has proved tke retiability of the guards. While their position is one traught with danger the guardsto a man have bravely faced the ordeal and not one has flinched. The biue-coated sentineis are within call at all times now. At a given signal every guard in the prison will take a position snd stand ready to carry out the orders of Warden Hale. *We are in the right,” said the Warden to-day, “and will bring the men to time. We have been endeavoring to locate the ring-leaders, but this is a difficuit task.” The men are where they can dono harm. To escape is an uiter impossibility, and = they to get loose the shining Gatling guns in ihe guardhouses overlooking the walls are trained upon the exits and at a turu of the crank will belch death to those rious times the request | of the convicts bave been in some degree | respected, but the present revolt is one without reason, and the prison authori- ties intend to allow no dictation from the prisoners under them. As fast as the leaders can be detected they are led to the dungeons, and there in the damp dark cells, upon a bread and water diet, they will have the opportunity torepent at leisure. he great jatemill was silent to-day. The wheels were not revolving, for the men who are confined in the gloomy cells | are its only workmen. The manufactur- ing of jute bags has, of course, been sus- pended, and at & time when they are greatly in demand. The last revolt 1n the jutemill lasted four days before the strikers were ready to leave the fare of bread and water and return to work. This mutiny is more serious. Over 700 are involved and they are howling in their frenzy. SAN JL‘;EUIIV VALLEY CROPS. Orchards, V.neyards and Grain Guve Promiss of a Heavy Fields VISALIA Fruit men of this vicinity are somewhat at a loss to un- derstand how the reports of short crops have come into circulation, because the reporisare so far from being irue. Ata meeting of orchardists in this city every man present reported the prospects excel- jent fora crop very much larger than that of last year. Major B rry, manager of one of the largest orchardsin the State, made the declaration that the crop of prunes alone this year would be in pro- portion to that of last year, and is 5000 Everywhere throughoat a district the heavy increase ob- As for wheat, it is also in fine cond:- tion, and it is estimated that it will re- re 10,000 cars to carry the crop of ulare County to the bay. The growers are looking forward to a prosperous sea- son. There are some 2500 acres along the foot- hills of the east side in oranges this yea: The crop ripens irom four to six weeks earlier than in the oran,e country further south. The yield will be from 75 to 100 NO, CAL., May 28.—Grain-buyers as well as gruin-growers of this county admit a large crop this year. The harvest is variously estimated at from 45000 to 80,000 tons. All the way from Summit Lake to White’s bridge there will be a more than usually heavy crop. This is true of the country about Ridley and down as far as Porterville. Thne estimate placed on the crop of Fresno County by buyers who have been over the district is 80000 tons at its lowesi, and up to 100,000 tons. On the poorer land of the east side the crop will not average above 1Wo sacks to the acre, but no more is ever expected. The very early grain has suf- fered from the drouth, but the latter and latest erain will make up for that. HANFORD, Can, May 28.—Vineyard- ists, orchardists and farmors of Kings County report excellent prospects for this season. The raisin crop is especially in fine form.. Lou Chittenden of the big Lucerne ranch, dec all reports to the contrary 1897 is to be a big year. \ - REDWOOD Ci1¥ MYSTERY. Authorities to Invesiizate the Death of & San Mateo Man. REDWOOD CITY, Car, May 23.—The body of the man supposed to have been killed at San Mateo on Wednesday by freight train 34 was identified yesterday as that of one Bradley, an old resident of San Mateo. Since the identification of the body facts bave been learned which will probably cause the Coroner to reopen the inquest. Among the witnesses were tiree men of Tather unsavory character, who testified that they had been drinking until a late bour that night. Soon after the freight train bad pasted San Mateo they walked up the track past the place where the body was afterward found, but they saw no signs of a dead person, although they walked up the middie of the track exactly where the body lay. They testified that they would certainly have seen the body bad it been there. It bas since been learned that Bradley was seen in the company of these very persons on the night in question. e TAKUSH HARBOR GOLD STRIKE. Fabulously Rich Ore Uncovered by a Fros- pector, Who Is Crazed by H.s Good Fortune. VANCOUVER, B. C., May 28.—Fabu- lously rich free milling ore has been dis- covered at Takush Harbor in the northern waters of the Gulf of Georgia, 140 miles from Vancouver. Every piece of rock taken out of a vein said to be ten feet wide is ribbed round and round with coarse gold. It assays thousands of dol- lars to the ton and the specimens are richer than any ever seen in the province heretofore. Like all other rich strikes there it was made by accident and not by & mining expert. Hundreds of prospect- ors searched the country, but the one who made the Takush Harbor strike and who was grub-staked for one month only, camped on the very spot after giving up his search. He was digeing & irench around his tent when he uncovered gold- seamed rock. A week went by and he did ‘not return. His employer went up the coast to look for him and found him raving mad. The excitement caused by his find had de- throned his reason and he had eaten nothing for a week. The only words he could say were: “I've found it; I've found i.” There is a stampede from Vancouver for Takush Harbor. The excitement is intense throughout the province and American money and men are coming in very tast. Laag - PACIFIC GROVE CONFERENCE. Convention of the Pacfic Coas!

Tae fina.s of the singles in the tennis tournament were played to-day between Gifford o: Stanford, and Belcher of Berke- ley. Gifford won by a score of 6—3, 6—2. Belcher played a good game, but Gifford's steady serving and backhand drives were toomuch for him. The doubles matches also got well unaer way to-day, the semi- finais being reached. D. Eaward Collins, president of the California Bank of Oaklana and promi- neatly identified with work for young men 1n bis own city, lectured to the mem- bers of the life-work conference this even- ing on *The Christian Man in the Basi- ness World.” From experience in the practical side of businees life Mr. Collins was enabled to give some valuable point- ers to these of the students who coztem- plate a2 business career.

Jeram, in Eden Valley, by Public Admin- istrator J. H. Barker of this county, re- turned from the colony this morning. He reported that he was ordered off the ranch by the agent of the Public Administrator of the City and County of San Francisco, and was forced to leave. Petitions for letters of administration on Father Jeram's estate tad been filed in the Superior Court of botu this and San Francisco counties, and in hoth cases let- ters were issued—in the former court to the Public Administrator of this county and in Ban Francisco to A. C. Freese. Appeals have been taken by the respective parties, and while the matter is pending in the Supreme Court each is struggling for supremacy. This latest move on the part of the Freese people will, itis thought, cause them to be cited to appear for con- tempt. Adminisirator Barker is at present at San Francisco, and matters will rest until his return to-morrow. The property for which the two coun- ties are siriving is valued at upward of $50,000. It includes thousands of acres of land and large herds.

PORTLAND, Or., May 28.—Julian Ep- ping. chief of the registry department of the Portland postoflice, was arrested this afternoon on a charge of conspiracy to rob the office. Later Detective C. W. Holsepple, City Jailer Charles Watson, Deputy Sheriff George Watson, Eugene Gautier (alias Frank Hall), a notorious Chinese certificate forger, and ‘J. H. Stensen, a worthless character, were ar rested as Epping’s accom plices. Suspicion had rested upon Epping for some time, and several postoflice inspec- tors had been shadowing him incognito. This morning Epping was explaining the plans of the robbery to one of his con- federates, ignorant that an inspector was listening to him. The plan was that the others should, after they had robved the office, gag him with a handkerchief bear- ing a certain initial, so as to throw the authorities off the track. Holsapple was to make arrests of suspects, and for his share of the work he was to get one-fifth of the gross proceeds. - That is the story coming from an authentic source, but it may develop that the detective was in the play to upset the plot, which, had tt succeeded, might have cost Uncle Sam irom $10,000 to $20,000. The aileged conspiracy was worked up by Inspector Thrall of the postoffice secret service. He has been in Portland for some time. When seen this evening he said that so astonishing were the revela- tions that he felt that the public would be shocked and even incredulous until a convicion followed, which he felt confi- dent would be the result of the trials. — McCAULEY'S CASE AT TACONMA.

McCauley is under arrest again by authority of an order of the Supreme Court, which directs the Supe- rior Court to inquire into the sufficiency of his $8000 appeal bond. The Supreme Court a few days ago affirmed McCauley’s sentence of four years in the penitentiary after his conviction of having received interest on deposits of city money while he was Treasurer two years ago. Last evening Prosecuting Al- torney Titlow made an affinavit alleging that he had been informed that the bond of McCauley had become impaired and insuficient and asking that a bench wa rant be 1ssned and McCauley brought in by the Sheriff. To-day McCauley’s attorneys made a hard fight against any inquiry by the Superior Court, claiming that under the statute such sction could be taken only before the Supreme Court. They alleged, also, that his three bondsmen, one of whom is Mrs. McCauley, have disposed of no property and that they are worth as much now as when the tond was given. This afternoon Judge Kean decided there was no occasion for McCauley’s de- tention and he was permitted to go. the meantime Prosecutor Titlow rushed over to Olympiu, presented the matter to the Supreme Cotirt and secured an or ‘er | requiring the Superior Court to inquire into the sufficiency of the bond. McCauley gave himselfup. He intends appealing to the Federal Supreme Court. e ciaims that to-day's action is spite~ work, and that the result will be to ruin hifs mining busine: Al T ORTIING’S WILD MAN.

In| OWES Hi LIF T0 WAKEFULNESS Tale of a Survivor of the American Falls _ Disaster. Left His Coach Before the Crash to Breathe the Morning Air. Frightful Havoc Wrought by the Collision of the Two Loco- motives. PORTLAND, Or., May 28.—George Rat- cliffe of ihis city, one of the survivors of the railway accident at American Falls, Idaho, arrived here to-day. He givesa graphic account of the awful collision, which resulted in the death of nine men and injury to double that number. Rat- cliffe was a passenger on the train which, while standing at the station, wascrashed into by the freight, Pe owes Lis life to the fact that he was awake when the train pulled into American Fails, and left the car for a whiff of the crisp morning air. *“When the west-bound passenger train came to a stop at American Falls station,” said he, “dawn was breaking. I got up and went out on the platform. After standing on the platform for a moment I walked forward toward the engine. I heard the wild freight give two whistles and then a scare-shriek of the whistle. I realized in an instant that there was something wrong. Then around the curve, about 200 yards away, shot the ireight. “By this tine the passenger engine had tooted the whistle and started to back, but it was too late. It struck me that my brother was in the way of danger, but 1 could not see him for the steam. He was inside the smoker, as I afterward learned. Feeling thay there was a crash at hand 1 ran past John Cooper, who was standing right in front of the station. He was killed instantly. “When the engines struck the earth seemed to quake and the crashing, tear- ing sounds would make one’s blood creep. The wreck was at first obscured by escap- ing steam, but when I looked the freight engine's boiler was lying up on top of the passenger engine’s head, with the end across the sand dome of the freight. The passenger engine was half telescoped. “The first four cars -on_the freight were loaded with Bridal Veil lumber, and this lumber made veritable mincement of the poor tramps who were supposed to be stealing rides on the freight. Half of the station-house was torn down and the office furniture and telegraph instruments were destrecyed by the collision of the locomotives. “Ihe cause of the wreck, as I learned it, was the failure of the airbrakes to work on the freieht engine. When it came down the grade west of American Falis it ran wild. “At every station on the line coming to Portland great crowds congregated about the train to see if any passengers were hurt. Little was known of the killed or injured except the trainmen. After plae- ing the injured on the relief train, which started for Salt Lake, another engine and a mailcar arrived irom Pocatelio, and we pulled out for home at once. The mail- | car on the passenger was badly smashed. Some time will be necessary to ‘clear the track.”’ PLUCKY KIVEKSIDE WOMAN, Defends Herself With an Ax From the Inerdits of @ Tramp.

But thers scems to be views as to the effect of the continuance of the reciprocity treaty upon this fudusiry and it s these that have glvun rise to the demands for its continuance and abrogation. Both are strongly held and both have a strong backing of facis, 50 that it 18 not easy to dejermine whether one party is right ana another wrong, or whether ‘the truth lies somewhere between the two opin- ions. Therefore, as you will see, my position in reeard to the question at, issue is embar- assing. We are now paying to China, the East Indies and other countries. with which we have re- ciprocity treaties, $10,000,000 each year for nd as long as we are compelled 0 pur- ugar from forelgn countries it seems but right that we should give those granting us reciprocal benefits an advantsge in remov- ing the tariff from their staple articles of ex- port. If'we were not paying outr such vast sums to our sugar-producing couutries there could be no question that the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii should be abrogated. But 50 long as we are unable to produce sufficient sugar for our own consumption it is 1ot to my mind good policy to radically change our re- lations with a country with which reciprocity has been mutuaily advantageous. 1can only say that my best thought shall be given to the matter, and that I shall be gov- erned in my action by the wishes of the ma- jority of the people of the State as fur as I can ascertain what they are. That they will mnke their wishes known in Do uncertain way I Dhave no reason to doubt. GEo. The Foresters will have a grand ouiting at the Cnutes to-day.

NEW ORLEANS, La., May 28.—The Louisville and Nashville Railroad sentont ten extra sleepers last night bound for New York, containing the Central Ameri- can delegation of Queen Victoria’s subjects en route to the jubilee celebration. The steamer Breakwater brought a number of jubilee passengers from Belize, British Honduras. There were other parties from gevunl entral and South American tate The Mys@us Echo Don’t ever get weak, for if you do you may be the victim of the Myste- rious Echo. There is a’ certain class of men who begin by having ringing sounds in the ears. This is followed by peculiar noises in the head, and then comes the Mysterious *Echo. This echo is unlike the mountain echo, for the noise is encirely changed. Men who have lived lives of recklessness, of dissipation or of abuse soon find themselves in a con- dition of weakness that is indeed horrible. Besides the noises in the head, the spots before the eyes, the steam-like vapor that goes through the body, the sweats of night, the lost unmanly visions, and the first break of day brings this poor fellow to his senses. He realizes at last that having misused himself, he has wrecked his manhood. To such men a reliable treatment is offered by the' greatest known doc- tors. This treatment cures all those conditions which ultimately lead to complete failure -of -.manhood,.: to premature conditions, to impotency.
