SEATT Wasm, July 16.—The great- est excitement prevails bere over the latest Klondyke news. It is worse. in fact, than in the early spring; when such large num- bers from Seattle and neignboring towns went to the Yukon fields. Many men, the some of <ocial and business prominence, | are ma : preparations to go to the di gings at cnce. As many as can get in realiness by that time wili depart on the | steamship ALK, which sails Sunday. A greater number will take passage on the North Americau Tradingand Transporta- tion Company’s steamer Portland, due vesterday from St. Michaeis.

Among the more prominent men who have announced tueir intention of sailing | on either the Al-Ki or the Portland for the purpose of trying their luck in the famed piacers are ex-Governor John H.

July 16.—The sub-treasuries 5f the United States are already begzinning to be benefited by the Klondyke gold discovery, Director Pres- ton of the Miut Bnreau receivad a tele- gram from the San Francisco Mint to- She day saying that $500,000 in gold had arrived in San Francisco from Aiaska. The telegram added that an amount equally as large was expected by next | week's steamer. The Mint Bureau has also been informed that Alaska gold has been received at several Pacific Coast ports for shipment East. e SUPERVISOE NHrPHERD LOSES, Must Pay the Expenves of His Southern California Trip, STOCKTON, CaL., July 16.—The claim of Suvervisor- C. D. Shepherd, who sued to be reimbursed for moneys expended by himin a trip to Southern California on county business, was knockea out to-day by a decision which Judge Budd rendered. The action was expected from an intima- tion made by the Judge at the trial a few u;')ls ago. . be action was a mandamus case against the County Auditor requesting that be be compelled: to issue a warrant for the money, inasmuch as the Super- visors had allowed the bill. The Auditor demurred on the ground that the claim was not a legal one and that therefors the Supervisors had no legal right to allow it, hence their action was void. The court sustained the demurrer and allowed the Auditor the costs of suit. This decision _means that Supervisors Henderson and Hemphill will have to pay back into the county treasury the money v e chorus, filling the air | | League of | Geary, arrived here last evening, marched | ond now have cleared | provided for. they received as expenseson the same wip which Mr, Shepherd took. Mr. Hen- derson collected all of his and Mr. Hemp- hill part before Mr. Shepherd’s cluim was disputed by the Auditor. Mr. Henderson stated when the suit was brought that if it went against the Supervisor he (Hen- derson) would refund the money drawn by him. It is expected that Hemvhill will do the same. If he should refuse— which he is not atall likely to do—the District Attorney will bring action to re- cover the money. Sl CHRISTIAN CHURCH CONVENTION. Rev. Edwards Davs of Qakland Tells How 1o Reach the Masses in the Cives, BANTA CRUZ, CaL, July 16 —At Gar- fieid Park to-day the Ministerial Associa- tion of the Christian Church wa« in ses- sion the entire morning. A. M. Eiston of Berkeley presided and C. P. Pann acted as secretary. The service consisted of a genera! discussion of evangelistic work under the direction of Rey. James Small of Osakland. Leslie Drake of Saratoga the scripture lesson nd . C Shropshire of Healdsburg offered vrayer. K. L. McHatton, State evangelist, pre- | sented a paper entitled ““The Open Dvor,’” in which he heid thatthe qumb?r of ob- stacles in the way of entering new fields precluded the idea of an open door in ihe fuilest sense of the word, and he closed with many valuable suggesiions on evan- gelistic work. % W. H. Mrtin of Fresno delivered an adaress on ‘‘preparation for the meeting, dwelling almost entirely upon the spirit- ual preparation. An address, covering the personal work in a meeting, was delivered by Sherman Kirk of Petaluma. Rev. Edwards Davis of Ozkland pre- sented some of the methods used in reach- ing the massesin the cities and he spoke in part as follow: The subject all d to me, “Reaching the asses 1n the Cities,” may be ampiified from , “And the common people heard him giadly.”” The phrase, “the common people,” refers not to vulgar and uncouth ciasses, but 10 the commonality. The context shows some of many reasons why he was heard with ap- provel.” He answers the Pharisees, the Sad- ducoes and the Scribes with poiitic tact and divine disconcern of custom ; cursesand bless- ings eame from him. He was the champion of the people, for he challengea ail wroags. Jesus of Nazare.h was, furthermore, & man a message. Such & preacher will even- bicome a specialist. The name of the preacher that would reach the masses must be the synonym of something —S avage, Brooks, Beecher. In Carly vertheless there runs u shudd ibe nether world when a thinking man asserts himseif” A man with one purpose will be perseverant, and tuerefore indo; ble. The very rocks can be worn away b hands; the blood comes to the finge time heals the tissue and the fingers work again—yea, grain by grain, the granite heart of the world shall wear away. The human mazmetism of a conguering name uud 8 dynamic personaiity are weak in compa: ith the divine atiraction. *‘And 11 1 be iifted up I will draw all men unto my- self” A mun may be as eloguent, as authori- tative, as omnipotent as the Lord Jesus proportionately as he speaks from the fi of his heart, proportionately as he speaks the truth, proportionatel he is couscious of the presence of the source of omnipotence. Such s man shall find that the future his- orian shall record of him, in some parcn- thetical phrase, “And the common people heard him gladly.” Dr. 8. M. jefferson closed the morning service with another of his interesting lectures on the “Teachings of Jesus.” At the evening service a large andience listened to a most able address by Rev. A. | L. Crimm of Indiana. . SANTA BARBARA SQUABBLE. Constables and Justices of the County at War With the District Attorney Over Their Fees. SANTA BARBARA, Cav, July 16.— The Constables and Justices of this county are 1n a squabble with the District Attor- ney over their fees. Justices Gammill and Crane have already brought suit’be- fore Justice Smith of Carpinteria for fees withheld from them, both winning their suits. The county has appealed the cases te the Superior Court. The Constables have got the District Attorney to agree to submit to a test case. The Constables claim they are eatitled to compensation according to the county | government bill of 1893 for services ren- dered in crimical cases to the amount or limit provided in that act, and cite the case of Dwyer vs. Parker, recently de- cided by the Supreme Court of California, to sustain the:r position. D.strict Attorney Oglesby, on the other hand, maintains that the fees that the Constabies shall receive are regulated by the fee bill of 1895, but claims in addition that the clause in that bill that limits Constables 1o $100 in any one month is unconstitutional, and tnat the county covernment act of 1895 limiting Con- stables to $125 in any month, is in effect. He cites the same case !0 sustain his posi- tion as does the Constables. The squabble between the Constables and Justices has been going on for some time, and at iast the Constables have de- cided to find out ‘‘where they are at.,”” Bo much has the District Attorney antagon- | 1zed these officials that they intend to de- feat him at ihe polls next election if ke shouid be a candidate. The general opin- ion of the bar here is that the Distriet At- torney is wronz, and that his actions sim- ply put the county to unnecessary e pense. There is some talk of the Con- stables instituting sait to compel the D strict Attorney to refund to the county certain moneys paid him for assistance in certain criminal cases, claiming that the law does not permit the District Attorney to have legal aid in criminal prosecutiens. AbEr B, T0 cAMP 4 PETALUMA. League of the Cross Cadets Gathering for Their Outing.

PETALUMA, Cav., July 16.—Miss Vio- let Clowes, who brought her life to such a iragic close in San Francisco, was quite well known here to a number of friends, who speak of her in the highest terms, She was first known here as a professional nurse, and failing to finda occupation in that capacity accepted a position as a do- mestic.

Happy Finale to the Grand Convention Held in This City. Interesting Addresses of Eminent Divines Intersparsed With Anecdotes. PACIFIC GROVE, C:L, July 16.—To- day is in the eyes of the Chautauquans gathered in this. little town by the sea the day of days of the first week of the con- vention, because it forms a not incon- siderable part of the grand finale of the great convention just closed in San Fran- cisco. The hotels, Del Monte and El Car- mello, and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company bave lent themselves to the ef- fort to make the day one of unusual suc- cess, and to that end a special excursion was run down from San Francisco to-day, arriving here in time for the first public exercise, the forum hour, at 11 A. M. Both the hotels are prettily decorated in purple and gold, combined with the National red, white and blue, and the Endeavor monogram is conspicuously in evidence everywhere. Of the excursionists who arrived at Del Monte yesterday more than balf re- mained over for to-day, when 800 more | Endeavorers came down. The enthusiasm here evidenced is fairiy a reflection of that lately shown in San Francisco, and to-day has been one long to be remembered. The usual chapel exercises at 9 A. M. began the day snd the regular morning ciasses commenced their work.maThe classes are very successful this year, hav- ing good and interested membership and well qualified instructors. Loug before the appointed time for the beginning of the forum hour people began filing into the assembly hall and by the time the speakers of the morning came uvon the platiorm the big building was completely filled with an erthusiastic and attentive andience. Rev. Robert Bentley of Alameds, first vice-president of the C. L. 8. C., took the place of President McClish, who was absent, and opened the session with a few words tracing the close kinsnip between the Christian Endeavor society and the Chautauqua C:rcle because of the breadth and catholicity of the principles of both organizations. He then introduced the presiding officer of the day, Rev. E. R, Dille, D.D., ot San Francisco, a director of the United Christian Endeavor Societies. Dr. Di le began his short talk by speai- ing of the marvels of the great convention jnst ended—the size and enthusiasm of the crowd and the general freedom from complaint, even in the congested condi- tion of baggage and traffic. He told of a remark of the Cuief of Police to him that, with the additiou of the whole 40,000 peo- ple, there were fewer arrests than in the ordinary course of city life. The two chief talkers ol the morn- ing were then introduced in turn— Rev. Dr. Darby, trustee of the United Christian Endeavor Society, and Rev. Ira Landrith, editor of the Cumberlana Pres- byterian of Nasav:lle, Tenn. Dr.J, W. Darby was the tirst speaker, and while his talk had the same general trend as that of all the Endeavor leaders who spoke here to-duy—ihe Young People's Suciety of Christian Endeavor, its work and the convention just closed—the main idea he brought forward was embraced in two of the cardinal principles tanght by the Chautauquans—duty performed in all sitnations and fel.owsnip with each other and the world. The strongest feature of the Endeavor Society, interdenomination- alism and at the same time intense adber- ence to each one’s particular denomina- tion, was the principal illustration of this idea and was the one thing which gave it such power. Rev. Ira Landrith began by speaking of the coming Endeavor convention to be held in his ciiy ,Nashville, in 1898, and of the committee of arrangements, of which he is chairman. His leading idea was that it is man’s duty as a citizen 1o solve by natural steps the social problems of to-day, beginning first by solving the problem of nimself and reaching always after the higher things. The other speakers of the morning pro- longed the session so that iuncheon nad to be quickly swallowed by those who at- tendeua the £ o'ocleck platform meeting. The building was filled for the afternoon lectures, and purple and gold gieamed everywhere. Rey. Dr. Herbert N. Bevier of San Fran- cisco delivered the invocation prayer, and Dr. Dille, as president of the day, cccupied the chair and introduced the lecturers in his acenstomed happy fashion. Rev. Ezra Tinker of Wumington, Del., took for nis subject **“What the Christian Endeavor Society Stands For,” and vnder this head he spoke vigorously and earnest- ly of some of the great princivles taught by the society, such as perseverence, ac- tivity of heart and brain, great determin- ation and divine conviction, for whica one is willing to suffer and perhaps to die. He also gave a splendid eulogy upon “Father’ Clarx and his efforts and won- derful success. Tre talk of Dr. G. W. Cowan, of Pitts- burg, Pa., who foliowed Dr. Tinker, was widely different from any of those which had preceded nim, for while it took up tue pervading idea of the day it dealt with this idea 1n a lighter but none the iess revereni manner. His first sentence —that he felt himsel! unequal to the eme:gency of following his colecturers in their expressions of admiratiou for all things Californian, and must therefore say as did Platt to the atterances of Ros- coe Conkling, **Me, too”—put him into a diff rent line, and as his lecture proceed- ed and he illustrated it occasionally by an anecdote, this idea wascontinued. He spoke of the need for ev.ry one to do bhis best in pbysical, intellectual and moral effort, and so to follow the pace set by Christ, our pacemaker. At b o'clock the formal Chautauguan vesper service took place, conducied by Rey. Dr. McClish. The short address of the service was delivered by Rev. Dr. Tinker. The evening exercises to-day consisted of a lecture by Rev. Robert Bentley of Osakland upon- “Oid World Universities.” This lecture consisted of a brief general description of the more celebrated coi- lezes of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as Heidelberg and Edinborough, and a short supplementary discourse upon Rome. The lecture was illustraied by 100 fine stereopticon views which Dr. Bentley brought upon his last return from Europe. S CEOWDS AT DEL MONTE, Excellent Arrangementa to Entertain the 3wt tude, DEL MONTE, CaL., July 16.—The last special « xcursion for Christian Endeavor- ers, except the one which bronght the participants in the Chautauqua Christian Endeavor day to Pacific Grove, arrived uere yesterday at nooh, and was one of the largest to come during the entire series. The same careful management that has made the previous excursions such conspicuous successes characterized this one, and the perfection of the ar- rangements was brought forcibly forwara when it was found that 600 persons were to be taken round the seventeen-mile | came of him. drive and to other points of interest at the same time, Vehicles from all the neigh- boring and some distant stables were brought into requisition, and a few pri- vate ones were also secured to accom- modate the big coaching flput_v.‘ Three hundred and fiity ‘more people came iu on the evening train, and they with more than half of those already here and the 800 who came in to-day to attend the Chautauquaexercises at Pacific Grove, will constitute a crowd of no mean provortions as a zlosing to the past week's aclivity at this popular hostelry. o —_— FOYAL TIME AT LOS ANGELES. Hosts Continwue to Pour Into th: Southern Metropolis. LOS ANGELES, Cau., July 16.—The thousands of Christian Endeavorers who are flocking into the city are havinga royal time. The local. committee met the visitors at the trains and escorted manv of them to the headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. building. On three trains that arrived from the north to-day were fully 1500 of the Endeavorers, who lost no time in scatiering ail over the citv. Many went on side excursions to-day, though there is no reguiar programme for any such diversions, The first formality of the week will be the reception to-morrow evening at the Chamber of Uommerce. Only a small pro- portion of the total number of visitors Texister at headquarters, as s0 many are taken in band vy friends and relatives resident in tne city. The Ohio delegation, headed by Charles L. France, is exvected to-morrow, 700 strong. A larze number of that party will go direct to Mount Lowe before stopping in Los Angeles. Rev. Francis E. Clark will deliver an address at Simpson Tabernacle in this city Sunday afternoon, and will speak in the evening at Pasadena. o g e ROLLING IN10 MEATTLE.

M. and the Jerseyitesat noon. After several hours of sightseeing about the city the delezations continued their journey, returning Ea-t via the Northern Pacific. Tue weather was not very propitious, being cool and cloudy, with occasional showers. Seattle’s home delegation got in to-night, but no others are expected before to-morrow morning. PGRTLAND'S PRINCE OF HOBUES. Arrest as a Vagrant of a Millionaire’s Son, Who Married an Actress and Was Discarded, PORTLAND, Or., July 16.—Henry Wolf, aged 28 years, was to-day convicted of vagrancy in company with and the first of a gang of hoboes, but promising to leave town forthwith, judgment in his case was suspended. This fellow turns out to be Marcus Ikensheimer, the son of a millionaire, a member of a New York banking firm, and well known to a Chamber of Commerce man here. A little more than a year ago Marcus, married Marie Jannette, a soubratte in Tony Pastor's company, against the old banker's wishes, and on the day of the marriage he gave the young man $5000, telling him to make his own way in the world. The couple went West as far as St,Louis, where the soubrette bride accepted an en- gagement in Pope’'s Theater—ior $3000 would not go far with the daughter-in- law of a millionaire banker. According to young Ikensheimer’s own story, as re- lated to his friend in the Chamber of Com- merce, his honeymoon lastéd about sixiy days, and as by that time young Mrs. Ikensheimer saw no prospects of a speedy reconciliation 1n the ikensheimer family shelliterally gave Marcas the “cold shake.” But when that epoch in their matri- monial career arrived, the Bulk of the $5000 had been exhausted in the purchase i:l costly stage dresses and extravagant iving. ‘When the two parted in Bt.

He will uwow try to square matters with the “old man.” T AT WA4ITING 10 CKO>S TRE BAR, Dangerous Trip Before the Steamer Grady to 1his Port. PORTLAND, Oz, July 16.—The stern- wheel steamer Henry C. Gradv has at last got under way and should now be lying at the mouth of tue Columbia River waiting an opportunity to pass out over the surges of the bar. This will prove the most dan- gerous portion of her voyage to San Francisco, for on the bar, even when the wind is light and the tide favoring, the swell is short and just such as will rack the Grady’s hull. "Once over the bar, the long, rolling pitch of the Pacific, provid- ing the pressnt weather continues, will have little or no effect on the steamer and she will go aioug nicely. A bit of rough weather, however, and Captain “Jim" Denny will be scudding for shelter. S Tt TACOMA LEDGEER >OLD, Will Remain Republican and Bs Im- nroved in Many Ways.

The Case Is Postponed Until the Allegations Can Be Thoroughly Sifted. LOS ANGELES, Car.,, July 16.—While the second trial of “Kid” Thompsoa, charged with wrecking and robbing a Southern Pacific train at Roscoe, was in progress, a sensation was sprung by the announcement of the discovery of a scheme to release the prisoner from the County Jail, even at the expense of a turn- key’s life. It was related then that a man known as “Colonel” Tupper. who had come here from Arizona as & iriend to testify for Thompson, had been caught in the act of passing a loaded revolver into the jail for the use of the prisoner, who, according to the plan as given out, was to kill a jailer and make a rush for liberty after captur- ing the keys. A trusty named Kramer and some other men and a woman were implicated in the scrape. Yesterday another sensation was caused by Colonel Tupper's attorney, who made charges against Jailer P. J. Kennedy, and atleged that he used several other men for the purpose of entrapping Tupper, be- cause he was the principal witness for Thompson, and to prejudice the jury against Thompsen, who was then on trial for his life. Accoraing to the claims made by theat- torneys for the defense two missing men, together with Kramer, the trusty, al- lowed themselves to be used by Jailer Kennedy to pui up a job on Tupper and Thompson. It was ciaimed that Tupper gave a pistol to Jenkins or Harris in the presence of Maggie Brown, with instruc- tions to hand it to Kid Thompson. After killing the necessary men toenable him to get loose Thompson was to run to the cor- ner of Broadway and Franklin streets, where Tupper would be waiting with a rig and weapons and ‘the pair would drive away. Itisalleged as proof against Kennedy that instead of suitably punishing Trusty Kramer for the part he was charged with taking in the murderous scheme, he put him in a dungeou for one day and then restored him to his place as waiter on the officers’ table. One of the attorneys defending Tupper claims that the two missing men for whom subpenas have been issued told him that Kramer had guaranteed both the men, on pehalf of Kennedy, that if they would lend themseives to the job they weculd not be prosecuted; that Harris left the revolver in the county jail, where it was found by Kramer, and that when the *'escape’’ was discovered Harris and Jenkins were taken to the county jail, but were detained there only a short time, being assured they were guests of Kennedy, The attorney concluded making his statement regard- ing Kennedy’s connection with the affair by asking that the Coroner be directed to serve subpenas and search for Harris and Jenkins instead of aliowing the Sheriff’s officers to do so, as is usually the casc. Judge Smith made this eorder and also granted a conitinuance, first until the afternoon and then another until to- day. The expected denouement to-day did not materialize, for the reason that the two missing witnesses had not bzen found. The whole story binges upon a matter of veracity between jail prisoners and the turnkey, and peopie are slow to form an opinion. As Harris and.Jenkins, the wit- nesses tor Colonel Tupper, have not yet been found, the defendant insisted on a continuance of the case, which Judge Smith granted until the missing men are found. ‘Attorney Miils asked the court to have Jack Marshall, a prisoner, at San Quentin brought down to testify to the facts be expected to prove by Jenkins and Harris. Judge Smith did not make th=orcer. Jailer Kennedy persists in his assertions that the prisoners are trying to job him, but as the ramor of conspiracy has been floating about ever since the announce- ment of the allegcd attempt to break jail the matter will be sifted thoroughly in the court. —_———— FIGHTING FOR HEE CHILD. Bashford BSeeks the Custody of Dorothy Edith Creede. LOS ANGELES, Cir, July 16.—The inevitable litigation over the fortune left by the deceased miner, N. C. Creede, is to be further complicated by other interesis appearing in the matter. Mrs. H. R. Bashford of San Francisco, mother of Dorothy Edith Creede, has come to Los Angeles to demand the custody of the chi!d she relinquished in her days of trouble, when her own path in life looked dark for her. Since then the mother’s fortune has changed for the better, she having married a hardware dealer in San Francisco, who is not only abie, but is said to be willing to provide a home for the child. Mrs. Bashford, despite the fact that she voluntarily permitted her child to be legally adopted by Creede, now declares her intenticn of demandinz her return, not because the chiid has sudderly be- come heiress to a large fortune, but purely because or maternai affection, which has Sprung up anew. Mr. Bashford says that while she does not care for the moiney that is coming to her, she wishés to be the legal guardian to protect Dorothy’s interest.

Dreadful Fate of an Old Spanish Woman at Santa Bavbara. SANTA BARBARA, Can. July 16.— An old Spanish woman named Ramona de Valenzuela, living on Canyon Perdido street, met with an accident this morn- ing that may result in her death.

On one occasion while passing the fire her apron caught in the blaze and 1n no time all her apparel was on tire. Her arms, chest and hips were severely burned, the flesh on her arms falling off in large pieces. Prompt assis- tance on the part of neighbors saved the woman from being burned to death.
