Accompanied by Students Who Will Aid in Branding Female Seais. The Stanford Educator Says Sher- man’s Note to Salisbury Was Tersely Worded. SEATTLE, Wasna., July 6.—Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stan- ford Jr. University, arrived at Seattle last night en route to Alaska, wnither he goes asa member of a Government commis- sion created for tie purpose of studying the condition anc ods for the better seals around Pribilof hern waters.

Dr. Jordan to Tue CALL correspondent confirmed the truth of the Chicago and Washington ( President McKinley’s message to Lord Salisbury, tize British Premier, informing that statesman that Great Britain was not lLiving up to the letter of the law as 10 the American seal promulgated by the Paris tribunal. He :lso acihorized the state- ment that a text of the Message wWas sub- mitted to him s & member of the seal commission by Secretary Sherman for suggestion and approval before it wascom- municated to the Government of Great Britain. “It was a very emphatic and strongly worded document, but beyond that 1 must decline 10 tell what it countained,” Dr. Jordan replied 1n answer to a request for the substance of the message, clearly indicated that Le considered that Premier Salisbury had never been “‘cailed down” in more caustic and emphatic | being done with an ax.

SAN RAFAEL, Can, July 6.—Peter Jerrenbecker, the convict in S8an Quentin prison, who, throngh his attorney, peti tioned the Superior Court of Marin | County for a writ of habeas corpus, will have to serve his time. Judze Angeilotti | so decreed to-day and the prisoner was taken back to the big penitentiary, 1 The case is an 1nteresting one, hut it | took less than a haif-hour to dispose of it | to-day. Derrenbecker was cogvicted by a jury in Judge W, L. Pierce’s court at San | Diego ot “an assault with a deadly | weapon with intent to commit murder,” and received a sentence of fourteen years. Under the law a man convicted of assanlt with & deadly weapon can be imprisoned for two years only, and Derrenbecker’s | attorney contended that there was no | such crime under the statutes as ‘‘assault | with a deadly weapon with intent to com- m:t murder’ that the prisoner was guilty of assault only, and that he conld years, Derrenbecker has been confingd in San | Quentjn prison since August, 1890, and tue contention was that he had servea | the two years and more.

Town Marshal Creed Sinks a Boat Whnile Effecting the Capture of a Rioter. SAUSALITO, CAr., July 6. —There was plenty of - excitement on the streets of Sausalito at 12 o’clock last night. A bat- tle between officers and sailors took place, arrests were mude, shois fired, a boatsuuk and many beads cracked in the general melee. A party of about thirty sailors from the English ships lying off Sausalito visited the town, and after parading the straets went to the Geneva Hotel, where they were entertained until late in the evening. As they were coming down the long steps leading from the hotel to the water front they were scaked to the skin by a hose in the hands of a party at the foot of the stairs, 1t appears that the Sausalito fire de- partment officials, fearing that there may have been some smol!dering hrecrackers abount, had played the hose in varions dry places, and one of these was the Geneva Hotel steps. As luck wouid have it, the English Jads were coming down at the time the hose was played on thestépsand they were doused. The young son of | Antone Lawrence, the Treasurer of the town of Sausalito, was at the nozzle, and the English lads immediately attacked him. Matthew Garrity, a sailor, rushed at the little fetllow and struck him a blow on the face. Deputy Marshal Marun Hoff- man stepped in to interfere and Garrity turned on him, tripped him up and kicked him on the hip. Then the row began in earnest. Deputy Marshal Eugene Creamer rushed in, and, drawing nis club, attacked the crowd, which was hard pressing the little hand- fu of officers, Creamer was kuocked down a couple of times, but the plucky little officer stuck man!ully to his job and laid his club across the heads of the sail- ors, who fell under the blows. Prosecuting Attorney Alolph Sylva, William Harriscn the pooiroom proprie- tor, Deputy Marshal John Siiva, Manuel Lawrence and Marshel John E Creed took a hand in the battie. As one bi, sailor was about to strike Harrison, Prose cuting Attorney Sylva rushed forwar and, thrusting a pistol barrel against his face, made him beat a hurried retreat. Matthew Garrity seemed to lead the fighting sailors on in their battle, and when the party was at last put to rout the officers made an attempt to place him under arrest. Then followed an exciting chase. Marshal Creed approache: Gar- rity, but the sailor made a charge at him and tripped him. Creed picked himself up and <tarted after the fleeing sailor, with fire in his eye. Garnity kept straight on and headed for the North -Pacific Coast Railrond wharf. When he came to the edge of the pter he gave a leap for the bay ju<t as the Marshal seized him. Creed was almost pulled off the wharf into the water. Garrity fell into the water, and when he came to the snrface he struck out | for a boat near at hand. Creed arew his reyolver and fired into the bow of the boat, mekinga hole in the craft, through which | the water poured. Garrity, finding him- self in a boat that was fast sinking under I him, shouted to the Marshalthat he would | give himself upif the firing was stopped. |7 Creamer and Silva took the prisoner and he was placed in the Town Jail. The rest of the sailors were allowed to depart for their ships, and for a while the trou- ble was over. At 4o'ciock this morning a couple of (the sailors stole a boat, while others roiled wagon-wheels around the roads. The sailors were somewhat under the in- ttuence of liquor, having during the day before been to a picnic to Lime Point. Re- turning thev had visited places in town, and at midnght they were ready forfight. | This morning three of the captains from | the Engli<h ships came into town and | made inquiries as to the trouble, | Marshal Creed said to-day that the wet- | ting of the sailors, which started the trou- ble, was purely aceidental. ASTORIA’S SENSATION. | TEE, | to B: $20,000 Short i Hs Accounts, ASTORIA, Or., July 6.—B. L. Ward, Treasurer of Clatsop County and member of the firm of Howell & Ward, grocers and hardware merchants. is short in his ac- accounts nearly $20,000. The fact leaked out last night, but it was thought the shortage would be adjusted to-day, and the matter was kept quiet because of the | high standing of Ward. To-Gay Ward | & Howell conveyed all ot their real estate to the former’s bondsmen, Messrs. C. W. Fuiton, J. W. Welch, George Noland, G. | Reea, G. Wingate and C. Ward. Poriland creditors will attempt to prove the con- veyanee a fraud. The real estate is said to be heavily mortgaged aiso. Thecounty will lose nothing, as the bondsmen are ample security. Ward has had an excellent reputation, and his friends say that he was simply foolish in allowing his partner, Howell, to draw on couniy funds for use in the store, by giving bim general power of at- torney, which the bondsmen to-day had canceled. Others blame Ward, stating that he must have known all that was going on and should not have permitted such uss of county funds. The opportuniiy to use these funds is shown by the faei that $12,826 70 ot war- called and interest stopped in September, 1895, and were not turned over to the County Clerk by the esiate to which they elonced until May 28, 1897. The money to pay these warrants was supposed to be kept on hand by the Treasurer. i gy *cored by a Los dAngcles Judge. LOS ANGELES, CaLn., July 6.—Judge Allen of the Buperior Court is going to lose popularity among applicants for di- vorces. To-day lie scored Mrs. Louisa Majors, who has a divorce suit now under advisement. Mrs. Majors filed a stipula- tion that she had discharged her attorney, Neath, and employed Calvert Wilson, but Neath was on hand to protest against be- ing beaten out of hisfee. The court sym- pathized with Neaih, and gave Mrs. Ma- jors ten days in which to settle with him, as he could not encourage the prac- tice of emp.oying counsel, getting advice ‘and then discharging the lawyer without paying fees. Ei g o Yolo’s Man-Hunt Abandoned. ‘WOODLAND, Car., July 6.—The chase after George Coburn, the Lake County desperado, who was traced to Cacheville last week, has been abandoned by the officers, and Sheriff Pardee and Deputy Paulson returned to Lake County on Sun- day morning. The Sheriff is convinced that Coburn was met at Cacheville on the day he was seen ther2 by his brother, who resides at Penryn, Sacramento County; that tiie two men made their way over to Sacramento and that the fugitive is now many miles away. | | Treasurer W.r1 ot Clatsop County Fourd | rants drawn in 1892, 1833 an. 1894 were | ONLY ONE FIRST CHOICE BEATEN |Great Day for Bettors at | Oakley and St. Louis.

It has been pretiy well established, accord- ing 1o telegraphic reports, that the horse Littie I Am, which won & race one day last week at St Louis, is a “ringer.” The judges summoned the owner to sppear before them and establish the identity of the horse, but up 3 | to yesterday that worthy had feiled to put in an appearance. “Ringing” s a penitentiary offense in Missouri and more than likely horse | and owner are now ensconced in some other 1ocality. Littie Holmes, the clever light-weight rider, under engagement to Zeke Abrahams, is doing some excellent saddie-work in Montana. Scarcely a day passes that he does not pilot a winner or (wo,and the lad should make a name for himself here this winter. Jack Riley, the well-known tipster, is back from Montans. Jscksays the game is goodup there, but he does not grow euthusiasiic over it. Hes:ys the labor unions will boycott the Butte track because Mansger Ed Tipton en- gaged non-union inen (o erect stables and out- bulldings on the course. Neariy all the races sayor very much of *Dalyism.” It was rare weather for iavoritesat the Oak- ley and St. Louis tracks yesterday, eleven out of twelve choices beating their fields out.

Leigh has also eared the same recommenda- tion for pyrotechuicaldisplays in the saddle. The Racing Publishing Compaty of 313 Bush street has is:ued a very handsome souvenir of California that can be secured for a nominal sum. It is profusely illustrated with haif-tones of tur{ notables and many close and exciting finisbes which oceurred during last winter's iong period of racing. It is now claimed the norses of tte deceased turfman Byron McClelland will not be dis- posed of on July 15. Ed Corrigac recently purchased Captain Pierso:1 and Presidio from the McLean stable.
