THE SA FRANCISCO CALL 1897 cess of the affair and then made a formal demand for the warden. Warden Hale met with even a worse re- ception than did Dr. Lawlor. Pretty nearly the whole vocabulary of conceiv- able and villainous abuse was showered on him from rters. He was literally driven from the spot by the nbscere ex- plosions that recochetted about the court- yard from 700 of lungs, and beat a hasty retreat through the prison gates.

But the strike has gone t00 far now to come 10an end when the convicts desire it to. The prison authorities have planned a sort of freeze-out game. They intend to keep the men on bread and water and confinement for some time—possibly a month or two—at any rate until the back- bone of the revoit is disjointed out of all hopes of repair. i The usual dinner was served to-day in | the regular prison cining-room. The bill | of fare consisted of roast meat and gravy, mashed potatoes, white beans, stewed ap- ples, gingerbread, white bread and coffee— not a bad meal for a prison. Still Warden Hale’s boarders with the fastidious appe- tites point to such plain food as one cause of complaint. The truth of the matter is that the food at San Quentin is all that could be de- sired. The convicts are well fed. Over- feeding and petting might be cited as im- portant factors in the present situation. Even Warden Hale’s most hostile critics bave never accused him of ill-treating the prison inmates. His weaknesses, if any, lie in a contrary direction. Too much consideration for the convicts at the ex- pence of rigid discipline has been charged against him. Still he is not too old to mend his ways, if they neea it, and the present affords an inviting opportunity. The situation now calls for discipline with abg D. The rebels were not quite as noisy this evening as usual. The Sabbsth had no figure in theirdevotions except, possibly, to heighten their profanity.

Late to-night they are playing a devil's tattoo on their cell gratings, and the air is’ hide- ous with all sorts of execrations. Prison Director Wilkins visited the prison this afternoon and gave Warden Hale assurauce of approval of his action. Telecrams to the same effect have been received from Directors Fitzgerald, Hayes, Depue and Devlin. The prison ctaff is also upholding the Warden's stand. The directors are to a unit in favor of adopting extreme measures. If it were possible to invoke the whipping- post rawhide would e ata premium just now. The convicts know, however, that they have nothing of this sort to fear. Their discomforts will e along the lines of solitary confinement and bread-and- water diet. The damage to the dungeons is slight, but the wrecking of this department may be the means of lengthening the terms of those who accomplished it. This is a problem that the prison directors will consider at their next meeting. The de- molition of prison furniture is & crime under the law, with no inconsiderable punishment attached. There is no immedate intention of re- suming work in the jutemill. In fact the prison is in @ state of siege whose length is impossible to forecast. e extra guards were ‘added to the reguiar patrol to-night. The prison has been closed indefinitely to visitors. All relatives and friends of convicts were de- | nied admittance to-day, with the excep- tion of W. T. Durrant, who arrived at noon to see his son. The two held a short interview in Captain Eigar's office, and the incident did not provoke the expected roar from the convicts. Instead they were unusually quiet, determined, appar- ently, to appreciate the solemnity of the occasion. BUDD WILL TAKE NO ACTION. The San Quentin Crisis One for Warden Hate to Meet. ACRAMENTO, Car., May 3).—When questioned by THE CALL representative as to what cteps he had concluded to takein the matter of the strike at San Quentin, Governor Budd said: *I shail not take any action whatever. 1shall go to the Yosemite Valley to-mor- | row to meet with the Valley Commission- | ers, and in consequence will be unable to do anything in the matter until my re- turn. In fact, the entire affair lies in the bands of the Board of Prison Directors and the Warden, and I cannot see why the Governor should be requested to mix up | in the affair at all.” e WAKDEN HALY SUSTAINED, | Prison Commissionrrs Havs Unbounded Confidence in His Judgment.

STATUS OF THE TARIFF BILL After the Wood and Meta/ Schedules Comes Sugar, Which the Democrats Propose to Discuss. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30.—It is expected thatthe Senate will reach the sugar schedule at the close of the present week’s tariff debate. The Democrats are extensively preparing for discussion of this schedule and several set speeches will be made. The indications are that various other questions of gereral in:erest will be considered in connection with sugar rates and differentials. Pettigraw intends pre- senting an amendment against trusts in this connection, and a certain Hawaiian | issue will be brought into the debate through an amendment providing for the continuance of the reciprocity treaty with “ the islands. It is expected that the pres- ent treaty will be continued in effect by a direct declaration that nothing in the bill shall be construed as abrogating the treaty. The Republican members of the com- mittee are contemplating this change, but they have not yet decided whether they will caucus on the sugar schedule. There | are two schedules to be consiiered atter the conclusion of that at present under discussion before the sugar schedule can be reached. These are the metal and wood schedules. The metal schedule is not especiaily objectionable to the Demo- crats, but it is complicated and will con- sume time. The wood scheduie will de- velop some antagonism on account of the daty on_iumber. There will be a deter- mined effort to restore white pine lumber to the free list. The House this week is likely to wit- ness the final disposition of the confer- ence reports on the sundry civiland Indian apyropriation bills. As many members bhuve gone home there 18 no quorum at present in the city. This may interfere with the desire of the leaders to order a recess until Tuesday wien the House meets to-morrow and compel an adjourn- ment until Thursday. —_— BUGAR TEUST SETBACK.

NOW BETWEEN DALY AND DARE And the Chances of the Last Named Are Bright. Struggle for the San Fran- cisco Postmastership Nar- rowing Down. 1t Is Certain, However, That Uncle Ben McKinley Will Be Made Deputy. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30.—There are no new developments in the San Francisco Postmastership. Mr. Loud in- sists upon the appointment of John D. Daly, as wired exclusively to THE CALL last night. Itis understood that Jobn D. Spreckels is standing pat on John T. Dare and believes ne will be appointed. Mr. Spreckels and Mr. Loud had a meeting to-day, but both gentlemen asked to be excused from discussing the matter until something definite was decided upon. It is believed that the matter will be settled cn next Tuesday. Senator Perkins is not taking any part in the fight. He issaid 10 favor Charles F. Bassett, but as both Loud and Spreckels have other names to suggest he will not mix up in the contest. Messrs. Loud, Spreckels and Perkins are being bombarded with telegrams from California urging the various candidates. Aithough the news from Washinaton concerning the appointment of a Post- | master to succeed Mr. McCoppin is brief a CALL reporter last night learned that telegrams received in this city indicated that the appointment lay between John T. Dare and John D. Daly. “It is understood,” said a well-known Loud would have been a candidate for the office himself, and would have asked for the appointment at the expiration of Mr. McCoppin’s natural term of office. Mr. | Loud realized that he would have & hard fight for re-election to Congressand tnat | the tenure of cffice of a Congressman was uncertain at the best, no matter how faithfully he might have represented his constituents, Mr. Loud had about con- cluded to applv for the postmastership. | whicn would have paid him a salary of $6000 | per year for four years, instead of $5000 for one year, from the time of Mr. McCop- pin’s retirement. Butthe sudden death of Mr. McCoppin completely changed all his plans.”’ Mr. Loud, as announced in a special to Tue Cary on Saturday, decided to recommend his friend Joun . Daly for Postmaster, and private telegrams from Washington received here yesterday con- firmed tois news. On the other nand, John D. Spreckels has recommeénded John T. Dare, as exclusively announced in a dispatch to THE CALL on Saturday morn- M. Spreckels has been urging Mr. Dare for Appraiser, but when he learned of the vacancy in the postmastership he concluded to press Dare for that place. Mr. Loud and Mr. Spreckels are known to be on friendlv ferms, as the latter con- tributed very largely to the success of the Congressman in the last campaign. It would not be surprising, therefore, if Mr. Loud finally concluded to support Mr. Dare for the postmastership. Senator Perkins is said to be disinclined to take any part in the fight, although, f he had his way, Charles F. Bassett would be ap- pointed. As betwesn Daly and Dare, Sen- ator Perkins will naturally be in favor of Dare, who is considered to be better qual- ified for the place. It is the custom for the Congressman to name the postmaster for his own city, vrovided the selection is well made, but some of Mr. Daly’s friends are fearful that representations will be made that although he is a business man of strict integrity, having successfully conducted a milk ranch, heis hardly a suitable man for Postmaster. It is believed bere that Mr. Dare will be appointed. He has been an active party worker and is a poor man. On the other hand Mr. Daly has not been so active. It is certainthat Mr. Spreckels is doing all bhe he can for Dare, and as Senator Perkins cons'ders Dere better qualified than Daly the former’s chances for appointment would seem to be better. A private telegram was received here yesterday from Washington saving that no matter who was appointed Postmaster B. F. McKinley would be made the Deputy Postmaster. Itis understood that this information was wired to mutual friends of Aftorney-General McKenna and Senator Perkins. Both of the latter are said to be now interesting themselves in behalf of McKinley’s appointment as deputy, and as the iatter has forwardcd to Washington a vast petition of San Francisco's best citizens asking his ap- pointment as Postmaster his selection as deputy seems to be certain. IRRECONCILABLE TOM WATSON. Urges Populists of the Souh to Cut iway From Marion Butier and His National Comm ittee. ATLANTA, Ga., May 30.—The Popu- lists of the South, led by Tom Watson, late Vice - Presidential candidate, have joined in a movement to overthrow Ma- rion Butler and the National Committee in order to prevent anv further attempt at fusion with either of the two great Na- tional parties. Tie movement was started some weeks ago when the press called for a National convention on the Fourth of July in Nasnville for this purpose. That cail was considered ineffective, but lately Watson has added his influence, and now it bas assumed National proportions. In the last two issues of Watson’s organ, The People’s Paper, the editorial page has been filled with denunciations of Marion Batler and the accredited leaders of the party. Watson declares that they should be ousted, so that the movement of the People’s party, so seriously handicapped i by its leaders, should start afres, ignor- ing all past organization. In the last issue of Watson's paper was a signed arti- cle of Watson, in which he notices the re- fusal of Bryan to speak in a Missouri dis- trict where a Populist and a Democrat are running against each other, and in which be calls on Brysn to get off -the fence and announce which side he is on. “1f,” said Watson, “Mr. Bryan is a Democrat let him say so; if he is a real Populist let him be honest enough to quit parading in Democratic clothes and not hang on to the tail of the Populist coat.” —_—— But the Famous Lens Escaped. ‘WILLIAMS BAY, Wis., May 30.—The elevating floor of the Yerkes telescope had politician last night, “that Representative | a mysterions fail yesterdsy which will probably put it out of service for the sum- mer.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Tursey, May 30.— Germany continues to encourage the Porte 10 resist the powers and delay peace nego- tiations. In a lengthy conference the dip- lomats drafted a note to the Porte co! senting to advise Greece to 3igna mili- tary armistice as a condition precedent to the peacs negotiations aud suggesting that the negotiations be concluded speedily. But the German Embassador has again asked time 10 refer the textof the first note for the approval of his Government. The Turkish Ministers interpret Ger- many’s attitude to indicate the concert is becoming increasingly unstable. 1t is believed the Porte will insist upon carrying on direct negotiations with Greece and the powers will probably con- sent, reserving the right to supervise the negotiations, BERLIN, GeryMany, May 30.—The Na- tional Zeitung semi-officially says that Germany will not adhere to any attempt to induce the Tarks to immediately quit Tuessaly, where they are by right of war. Germany would rather be isolated by the concert. ATHENS, Greece, May 30.— General M les, commander of the United States Army, arrived at Lamia from Constanti- nople to-day. He visited the Greek lines and lunched with Crown Prince Constan- tine. The newspapers here comment upon the special invitation of the Prince of Wales to Constantine to visit Lonaon during the jubilee. The papers regard the invitation as an act of kindness to the Crown Prince in the bour of humiliation, but do not advise its acceptance. LONDON, Exa., May 30.—Gladstone has written a feryid letter to the Liberal can- didate in the Petersfield Division of Hampshire to fill the vacancy in the Com- mons caused by the death of William Wickham. Gladstone urges England to| no longer be a party to the present policy | ot Eastern Europe. ‘‘where,” he says, “the holy alliance, so detested in the days of my youth, has been renewed under the name of the concert of Europe. Russia, Germany and Austria are .at their otd | trade again as foes to liberty and justice. France is tongue-tied by her subserviency to the views of Russia. Italy is paralyzed by internal emuarras<ment, and England, which ought to be acting on her own con- victions,' is content to sit at the table with the three Emperors and register their de- crees.

ATHENS, Greecr, May 30.—The King visited the Prime Minister yesterday, and after a two hours’ interview sent a long telegram to the Czar urging him to inter- vene in behalf of Greece. BERLIN, GerMANY, May 30.—A deeply rooted conspiracy against the King of Greece is learned from a Russian source. There is convincing evidence that Premier Ralli and colleagues in the Cabinet are gravely implicated in a plot to overthrow the dynasty.

The police of the Galata section of the city has been ordered to arrest all persons dealing in Greek securities. ———— CLEMENCY FOR CORWINE. The Imprisonment of the Embezzling Nayal Paymaster Will Probably Be Remitted by the Pres:dent. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C, May 30.—The strong efforts ot the family to secure clemency for Naval Paymaster John Cor- wine, recently sentenced to imorisonment ana dismissal for embezzling Government money, are likely to be successful. The accounting officers of the treasury are en- gaged in determining the exact amount of Corwine's shortage, which was placed at $10,000 in the formal charges. This did not include $5000 in eash with which Cor- | wine fled and which he refunded. Rela- tives promise in behalf of Corwine that the amount of the embezzlement will be made good, and a number of letters from | influential persons and officers with whom the paymaster served, asking that clem- ency be extenaed, have had a favorable effect. The imprisonment will probably be remitted and Corwine allowed to go with a dishonorable dismissel.

Ellis Clark and Del Wolfe, young planters, nad been suitors for the hand of Miss Carrie Nimmons. The char- acter of the young woman became a sub- jeet of public gossip and she was pros- trated. Her brother undertook to un- cover her slanderer, and being told that Olark was the author of the gossip he de- munded an explanstiov. Clark stated that Wolfe was the author of the remarks, declining, however, to face Wolfe and ac- cuse him.

Purchasers Will Convert the Place Into a Chicken . Ranch. Land Once Worth a Half-Million Dollars Disposed of for a Pittance. SOUTH BEND, Wasn., May 30.—Cap- tain John Riddell has sold to C. C. Rosen- berg the townsite of Stanley, and it will be converted into a cattie and chicken ranch. The purchase price was $2300. Captain Riddell acquired the land under amortga:e given to him by Charles Holm, the original owner, who sold it to the Stanley Land and Improvement Com- pany, taking in pagment lots on his own farm and a one-third interest in the com- pany, which assumed the mortgage. Thus closes the history of one of the most tamous boom towns in the Pacitic Northwest. - J. B. Genty and T. D. Yer- ington, the latter a prominent railroad man of Nevada, were the prime movers in the booming scheme, and Senator Stewart of Nevada was a stockholder, but touk no active part in the operations of the com- pany. A wharf was built, four or five buildings erected, including a hotel, and considerable clearing dome. It was pro- posed to make Stanley the terminusof a railroad whicn should run up the Cowlitz River Valley to 1ts head waters, where an- thracite coal beds are known to exist, but not a spadeful of dirt was ever turned. Lots were sold for as high as $500, and the townsite at one time was considered worth at least $500,000. Over $7000 was taken in by the company on sales of lots under contract, but by the time the final payments were made the company was unable to give a clear tille to the lots, as taken up. BSuits were instituted by the purchasers of lots for their money, but the company escaped judgment, as it had never been legally incorporated. J. J. Caffee, a neizhboring rancher, who had invested his all in Stanley lots, went insaneover the failure of his casties in the air to materialize, and the bitter disap- pointment affected the mind of one Holm, who to-day with his family keeps ionely vigil over what was once his homesiead, and reiuses to believe that he has lost his title to it.

SWEET HOME, Tex., May 30.—While the residents of this neighborhood were assembled at the church several miles from here yesterday observing Decoration Day two young men, Will Lewis and Wit Bosworth, between whom bad blood had existed, walked away from the crowd and stopped as if to talk the matter over calmly. Oue turned as if to leave when the otner drew a revolver. Both fired about the same instant and both were dead when friends got to them. Everyv bullet fired by each man took effect in his opponent. Lewis was shot three times through the body and once through the arm. Bosworth was hit twice in the head, twice in the body and once in the leg. i s WEIRD FIND Or SPONGE-DIVERS. Startled by @ Yucht in Trim Shape Thirty Feet Under Water. TAMPA, Fra., May 30.—A passenger from Key West snys a sponge vessel brings news of a strange wreck twentv miles southeast of that port, near Fish Light Banks. The sponge-divers found the wreck lying in thirty feet of water. She was a yachtin trim shape and schooner rigged. All her boats were missing and her masts had gone by the board. The cabins were luxuriously furnished, and in a stateroom wa: found the corpse of a young girl in night raiment. The vessel seemed _intact, save a slight injury near her bows, where the lower tinibers had been crushed in, but not enough, the divers think, to cause her to sink quickly. Holes were found bored in her hubl. Divers are a supetstitious class and did not remain long enough even to get the boat's name. S W PICNIC PAKIY¥ EUN INTO.

STOCKTON, Car, May 30.—To-day's baseball game between the Biockton and Reliance teams was an exhibition of ciever work that fully compensated the big crowd gathered to watch it. From start to finish the game was full of snap and ginger, but the visitors were no match for the Stockton ball-tossers, and never g£ot a man past third base. Iberg pitched a great game for Stockton. During the last three games—in all thirt; innings—but one run has been made u& him. Charles Selna, the old-time base- ball player, held down the initial cushion for Stockton and played a perfect game. Walters of the home team did the best hitting and base-stealing. His batting was timely and brouglt in two runs for S.ockton. There was a pretty double play from Lochhead to Smith and to Selna by the Stocktons. The batteries were: Re- liance—Krug and Walton; Stockt n— Iberg and Peters. The runs by innings were as follow: Stockton. .. 01001100 0-38 Base hits, 0210111319 Reliance. 00000000 00 ‘Base hits, 0111012017 | Cyelirte Arrested at San Jose.

A doctor will tell you that no one can live with a white liver, When the liver is at all disor- dered you are sure to have melan- choly fits and to wish to be alone. You will have all kinds of curi- ous fancies and peculiar feelings. If the disorder is only a functional one the liver is easily restored to its normal condition. If the dis- order has its origin in the abuse or dissipation of the man it is not so easily controlled. Very few family doctors pay much atten- tion to mervous troubles. As a result the man who is so afflicted will get no comfort if he consults his family doctor. This being true, hundreds of men are com- pelled to try other cures, As a result the Hudyan remedy treat- ment has been tried by many thousands, and these thousands have been cured. Just 10,000 men say Hudyan cures. Do you believe them? You can see their statements in black and white. It is a fact. Hudyan cures fail- ing manhood, nervous debility, neurasthenia and disorders of man called private.
