Unable to Handle Their Immense Grain and Coal Traffic in the Last. OMAHA, NeBr., July 27.—In ths forty- eight hours ending this morning the Bur- lington road hauled 813 cars of grain through this city bound East, and other roads hauled 1600 cars. This grain move- ment, together with the immense amount of coal called for from Western mines, | threatens a car famine, All the shops of the entire Burlington | system began this morning to work on full time, ten hours a day, which indi- catesthat the road expectsa permanent increase in its busine:s. Other roads in the West have also s'arted their shops on tull time for this reason. A week ago wheat was started to market from Nebraska. Since then it been pouring in from ten thousand wheat- fields, blocking other kinds ot trafficin a measure, The rush to market would be worse but thrashers are not to be had. ‘What makes the situation worse is that seme of Jast year’s corn is just beginning t0 move, hayving been hela until the present time so that farmers might be cer- tain of having plenty this year. Since this has been assured the farmers have becun to release that part of the old crop held over, estimated at 200,000 bushels. Tne demand for grain cars exceeds all hopes of the railroad men. All foreign cars in the State have been seized by the Nebraska line for the grain-carrying trade, in many cases indirect violation of contracts with other lines. They think the urgency of the occasion justifies the proceedings, Then the coal-carrying capacity of the ‘Western road is being taxed to iis utmost, Coal can be carried in many cars rejected for grain-carrying purposes, and this helps the situation. Every pound of coal mined in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Wyoming is being hurried to the East. Many long freights, with two engines to each, are hurrying across Nebraska within sight of each other on the same track. Orders are to force all Chicago and New | York grain cars to empty and return the cars forty-eight hours atter receipt. If they are not emptied in that time by the owners of the grain the railroad crews are ordered to dump the grain into any available space and send the cars back forthwith. The situation is unparalleled in the ‘West. What is true of Nebraska is true of Jowa, Kansas and Missouri, A e UNION PACIFIC FORECLOSURE. Deoree of Sale Agreed To by All Parties to the swit.

FOUND STARVING O A LONELY [SLE Four Men Picked Up by the San Diego Ves- sel Wahlberg. Two of Them Presidio Soldiers Who Had Been Missing for Months. Valuable Specimens Brought Back by the Sclentists Who Salled on the Schooner. SAN DIEGO, Can, July 27. — The schooner Wahlberg, which sailed from this port on March 3 on a scientific expe- dition for the Smithsonian Institution and Stanford University, arrived at noon to- day. The crew consisted of Cap- tain Fred Anthony, a well-known scientist; H. Keating; D. H. Mec- Gregor, a Stanford student, of Stock- ton; W. E. Goolman of Pacific Beach; and a Stanford University professor, who was left at San Jose del Cabo on the way down, as he could not endure the hard- ships of the voyage. The professor took the first steamer going north for San Francisco. The Wahiberg brings back a full cargo, consisting of five tons of rare and curious deep-sea shells and four barrels of deep- sea fish, especially packed by McGregor for President Jordan. They are beautiful specimens, and were preserved by McGregor of Btanford. They wereselected from Todos, Santos, St. Mar- tin, Geronimo, Guadaloupe, Bonitos, Natividad, Turtle Bay, San Rooks, Ascen- sion, Abricos Point, Cape 8t. Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, Benedict, Socorro and Clarion islands, the latter islands peing over 1000 miles from the coast. Many of the fish specimens are very rare, ana one or two new varieties, not classified at Stanford or Berkcley, were obtained. On her return up the coast the Wahl- berg stopped at Natividad, where she found four S8an Diegans who had been left at Cedros by the junk Hongkong, and had been taken to Natividad by a schooner, with the expectation of returning on an- other schooner to San Diego. The men were nearly famished for the want of food, but the arrival of the Wahlberg saved their lives, They were all brought away and arrived here to-day. They are ex-Sergeant San- ford, Private Connors of Company H, Tenth United States infantry, and John Dampier and William Andrews, sailors. These four men left San Diego on the Hongkong about eight months ago for Cedros Island, 400 miles down the coast. Dampierand Andrews were after abalone shells and meat, and Sergeant S8anford and Connors accompanied ihem for pleasure solely, both men having been granted three months’ furlough. Upon their ar- rival at Cedros the Hongkong anchored on the south side of the island, where the four men were left, and the Hongkong continued south after guano, intending to return to San Diego and then pick the men up on her next trip. When the Hongkong returned to Ban Diego she was sold to J, W. Kishler of Riverside, wno fitted her out as a gusno poacher and sent her out in a different direction. The crew forgot all about the four men awaiting them on the lonely desert isiand, and went on the cruise with the Hongkong. In the meantime another small schooner had taken the quartet over to Natividad, where they were left with provisions and water, expecting to be able to get aboard of a schooner bound for this port before long. Butno schooner hove in sight un- til the Wahlberg arrived in time to rescue the half-famished men. By this ume the furloughs of both sol- diers had expired, and the men will now have to go to the Presidio to re-enlist in the army. Sanford is the senior sergeant of ine Tenth Infantry, having served in the army for twenty-six years and baving but one more term to serve to entitle him to_be retired. For eight months nothing had been heard from the party, and during that time the men had no tidings of the out- side world. Their arrival here to-day was a great surprise to nearly everybody, as it was generally supposed they were long since dead, either from shipwreck or starvation. e WEDDED 10 TWO WOMEN, Dr. Topeta of San Disgo Pleads Guilty to @ Bigamy Charge. SAN DIEGO, CAr., July 27.—Dr. Fran- cisco Topeta, alias Francisco Compames, pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy in the Superior Court to-day. Topeta married Juanita Sefrano in So- nora, Mexico, in 1894 and came to this city with his wife about six months ago, Here he met and married Rosalie Osuna, daughter of a well-to-do Spanish farmer, The next day his former wife swore to a complaint, and he was arrested on May 20 and lodged in jail, where he has since remained, being unable to procure bail. The case has been continued from time to time while the District Attorney was gath- ering evidence, The chain being complete Topata confessed. He will be sentenced to-morrow. BARSTOW FLAME-SWEPT. Business Section of the Santa Fs Rail- way Town Destroyed by an Incendiary Blaze. LOS ANGELES, CAn, July 27.—The town of Barstow, on the line of the Santa Fe and Pacific Railway, was visited by fire at an early bour this morning. The fire broke out in the saloon of J. C. Gallagher, and in less than an hour the business portion of the town was wiped out. I'he pricipal losers are J. N, Beatty, general merchandise, $5000, no 1nsurance; B.

The husband discovered his aged wife in his workshop suspended from a rafter with a rope around her neck. The borrified man made an outery, broke into the window of bis shop, cut down the body and tried in vain to resuscitate her. The physiciuns who were later summon ed declared sne had been dead for some time. The only cause given for the aged woman’s act is that she was suffering from religious mania. —————— Zandsburg Kailway Bonds Sold. LOS ANGELES, CaL, July 27.—A. A. Dougherty returned to-day from New York, where he delivered $250,000 worth of bonds of the Randsburg Railway to the Rochester Trust Company and obtained therefor the necessary funds to build the line. The work of construction will begin at once at Kramer, a station on the Santa Fe and Pacific, and it will be com- pleted to Randsburg in ninety days. Traffic arrangements have been completed with the Santa Fe. g § DUNHAM LOCATED AGAIN. This Time the Tfarmanf Has Seen the Campbell Fugitive in a Foreign City. SAN JOSE, Cav.,, July 27.—James C. Dunham, the murderer of the McGlincy family, has been located again. This time he is engaged in business across the ses, but the bearer of the information refuses to divulge the fu- gitive’s whereabouts unless he is as- sured that the $11,000 reward will be forth- coming. This news was brought to the City last night by a man giving the name of A. M. Stoddard and his residence at 418 Eleventh street, Oakland. On his arrival here he sought out Chief of Police Kidward and for a time was closeted with that official. He said a friend who was an engineer on an ocean steamer now in port in 8an Francisco had seen Dunham in a foreign port. The en- gineer knew Dunham before the crime was committed and bhad positively identi- fied the sextuple murderer. He said Dun- hufi was engaged in business and doing well. Stoddard refused to give the name of the engincer or the name of the ship he was on, or 10 tell where the murderer had been seen. He saia that he would require $1000 of the reward before giving tha in- formation, and the balance of $10,000 must be placed in reliable hands, to be paid in case the man proved tn be Dunham. Chief Kidward gives little credence to the story, and believes tbe man to bea crank. He refused to investigate unless given more information. This Stoddard declined to give, but said he would con- sult his friend, and if the latter consented he would impart all his information. —_—— BLAZE AT SACRAMENTO. Firemen Carry a Woman From a Burn- ing 1 wilding. SACRAMENTO, CAL., July 27.—For the first time 1n years the members of the Sac- ramento Fire Department had an opper- tunity to-day to rescue a woman from a burning building. Not that there was any particular ne- cessity of rescuing the woman, for she stood on a porch on the second story and the fire was in the batement and was rap- idly got under control, but there was any amount of smoke and the woman wanted rescuing. Ladders were vlaced into position and the brave fire laddies carried her and her pug dogin their stalwart arms to terra firma. The fire started in ttie wall-paper store- house of Whittier & Co. The firm is loser some $1300. ———— APPEAL FOR 4 REDUCTION. North Pacific Ratiway Officials Befors the Fqualisers. BACRAMENTO, CAL., July 27.—A. W. Foster, president and general manager, and Thomas Mellersh, secretary and con- troller of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway, appeared before the State Board of Equalization to-day and asked for a reduction of 25 per cent of its assessment. Tne road is at present assessed at $1,035000. President Foster sald a depression had been caused by the shrinkage of raiiroad securities in the United States, which he placed at about eight times the assessment of San ¥ran- cisco, which he said, was $350,000,000. The application for reduction was taken under advisement. P Sausalito’s New Muster, SAUSALITO, Car., July 27.—Another change in the personnel of the Board of Town Trustees took vlace last evening A.

Her Seizure of the Island of Palmyra Is Officially feported to the State Department. WASHINGION, 0. C., July 27.—“The Island of Palmyra has been occupied by Great Britain.”” Such is the substance of a telegram received at the State Depart- ment to-day from Minister to Hawaii Sewell. Palmyra lies about 1000 miles southwest ol the Hawaiian group. It was at one time the seat of operations of an American guano company, and was annexed by it by virtue of a general law ol Congress authorizing any Americans to annex 1slands were guano denosits were dis- covered and worked by them. Under this law mary islands were an- nexed by Americans, who removed the guano deposits and then abandoned them, Among them was Palmyra, Afier it was abandoned by the Americans it was an- nexed by the Hawalian Government. It was considered a part of the Hawaiian kingdom and is now ciaimed by the Hawaiian republic. The British now claim that it was dis- covered by Captain Cook and belongs to Great Britain. It is not known what the purpose of the English is, but ‘it is sur- mised that they want it fora coaling sta- tion, and perhaps for a strategic point,in view of any, trouble over the annexation of Hawaii by the United States. The dispatch sent by Minister Sewell was discussed at the Cabinet meeting to- night, and Tre CALL correspondent was told that this was the real reason for call- ing the Cabinet 1n special sessiou to-night. - prrba O DE YOUNG'S DR AM I8 OFER, Moves P. Handy for Commissioner to the Paris Exposition. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—Sena- tor Mark Hanna seems to have more in- fluence at the White House than has M. H. de You Ine Cavn related some time aco the story of how Michael failed in bis attempt to secure Hanna’s influence, but the Ohio Senator would have none of the late di- rector-general, and said very plainly that from what he observed of Michael at the St. Louis convention the ‘Californian was not suited for the position of commis- sloner (o the Paris exposition, which re- 3u‘red the services of one accustomed to iplomatic usages. Nevertheless Mr. de Young persisted in bis candidacy, ail to 10 purpose, however, for Moses P, Handy was to-day appointed to the position. He was the promoter of publicity at the 'Chi- cufo World’s Fair. The reésolution” of Senator Thurston of Nebraska appropriating §500,000 for the representation of this country at the Paris exposition failed of passage throusnh the House at the extra session. By the terms of this resolution there are to be five “Commissioners of awards,”” one of them to be director-general ata salary of §10,000 per aneum, This was what De Young had his eye on, and asa stepping-stone to it he was anxiousto be appointed to the place filled to-day as special commissioner to make vreliminary arrangements for the United States exhibit. The deficiency appropria- tion bill appropriated $25,000 for this pur- pose. 1t is now conceded that Moses P. Handy will be pramoted from his position as preliminary commissioner and made director-general in 1897, at $10,000 ar, it the House passes the Thurston resolu- ton at this session, CHAVEL WILL DIE ON THE GALLOWS The Slayer of Pretty Gregoria Rodriguez Convicted. Wrecked the Life of the Girl and Then Stabbed Her to Death. Justice to Be Done for a Brutal Crime at Congress Mining Camp. SAN DIEGO, Cawn, July 27.—The trial of the case of the People vs, Manuel Chavez, charged with murder, was brought to a close to-day, the jury bringing in a verdict of guilty. The wording of the verdict is as follows: *‘We, the jury in the above-entitled case, find the defendant, Manuel Chavez, guilty of murder in the first degree, as charged in the information, and in our jpdgment the death penalty should be in- flicted.” Chavez will be sentenced on Friday by Judge Torrance. The crime for which he has just been convicted was a most brural one. His victim, Gregoria Rodriguez, was a beautiful Mexican girl born and reared in the mining camp of Senator, on the Colorado River, seventy-five miles above Yuma. About a year ago she met Chavez, who betrayed her on promise of marriage and afterward induced her to live with him. Last April she broke away from his in- fluence and went tolive at the home of Senor Refugio Ynez, a weil-known and respectable Spanish family of the camp. Chavez followed h r with threats and entreaties, and finally, 'n May 14, when Senor Ynez was away at work in the mines, he came to the huuse and attacked the poor girl with a large knife. Mrs. Ynez sprang to Gregoria’s defense, bnt Chavez threw her off and stabbed his vic- tim three times in the body. She died al- nost instantly. Chavez escaped, but was soon captured. BAD FOR SONGMA ORCHARDISTS. Failing to Get Fawr Prices for Therr Fruit, They Will Dry the Entire Crop. HEALDSBURG, Cavr, July 27.—The orchardists of this district say they will get $15 a ton for their freestone peaches from the local canneries or else they will dry their entire crop of all kinds of fruit. The cauners say, “We do not want free- stone peaches at any price, but we are willing to pay & reasonable figure for clings.” At a meeting of the Farmers’ Club on Saturday the fruit business was thoroughly discussed, and & majority of the orchardists in the Russian River, Dry Creek and Geyserville districts signed an agreement not to accept less $15 a ton. The canneries here are now running heavily, and, strange as it may seem, but a small portion of the fruit being put into tin comes from this section. Blackberries from Andly township, pears from the Sacramento Valley and peaches from near-by places are being canned by nearly 1000 busy workers, while the fruit that weighs down the orchards here is ripening and growers are preparing to start up their driers, “‘Orchardists are in a bad way,’” said George Slocum, a prominent fruit-grow- er. “The best offer I could get atlocal canneries this season for my Crawford peaches was $10 a ton, while $12 a ton is all that is being paid for Muirs. These prices mean bankruptcy, and I prefer to dry rather than accept them.” “The trouble is simply this,” said J. R. Miller, manager of the Russian River cannery. ‘“We do not want freestone peaches at any price, for the simple reason that the cannea-goods trade does not call for them. Now and then ws dotake a few tons of Crawfords or Muirs, simply 10 secure the clings owned by an orchard- ist. Canneries throughout the State are offering all that the market will stand for clings, while the other varieties are a drug on the market. We cannot afford to pay the price set on peaches here, much as we would like to, and we will have no diffi- culty in procuring all we require at better prices.” Owing to the heavy crop it will be neces- sary to operate all the driers up this way.

HEALDSBURG, OAr, July 27.—Ed Jagoe, who lives on a ranch in Mendocino Township, near Skaggs Springs, had an experience with a wild boar yesterday, which he will not soon forget. Wild hogs are numerous in the mountains in this locality and are very vicious when pressed in close quarters. Jagoe was out trying to get back a tew tame porkers which had strayed away, and found them with halfa dozen wild hogs in a thick patch of brush. With the aid of a bulldog he had se- cured and tied one, ard wes in the act of getiing the other when his dog was at- tacked by a monster boar. He rushed to the assistance of the dog, and in trying tp save the valuable animal was severely bitten. After a battle at close quarters with the infuriated hoz he finally suc- ceeded in killing it with a well-directed thrust of his bowie-knife. The dog was so seriously wounded by the boar that it had | to be shot. | AR EXETBR-VISALIA RAILWAY, Southern Pacific Officials Examine the Proposed itoute. VISALIA, CaArn., July 27.—A special train arrived this morning from San Fran- cisco with H. E. Huntingion, Julius Kruttschnitt and other Bouthern Pacific officials aboard. The object of their visit was to invesfigate the character of the country between this city and Exeter, the point on the SBouthern Pacific east line that would be connected with Visalia if the Visalia branch were ex- tended. Several bankers and merchants took the visitors for a drive through the country. The railroad men were greatly impressed with what they saw, and it is thought the twelve-mile extension will soon be projected. The near approach of the Valley road here has stirred nup the Southern Pacific Company to make an effort to hold as much of the valuable freight business of this section as possible. e o Hanford Residence Burned.

Mazama Mountain - Climbers Reach the Summit and Signal to Tacoma. TACOMA, Wasn., July 27.—The Maza- mas hava kept their word, for to-night they illuminated the top of Rainier gith red fire, which was plainly visible in Tacoma, sixty-five miles dis- tant. Nearly twenty of the party of seventy- five Mazamas which left for the mountain | last week intended to make the ascent, and they succeeded. News came to-day that rain fell in Paradise Valley on Fri- day and Saturday, but a rising barometer was believed to indicate good climbing weather to-day. In that event, the message stated, the red fire, of which fifty pounds was taken along, would be Jighted at 9 ». M. on the | summit. Hundreds of people were expectantly watching the mountain to-night at that hour. Powerful glasses failed to detect any lights. At 9:30 o’clock the watchers on the Tacoma Hotel veranda shouted, ‘“There it is!” and 300 people rushed out from the lobbies. The blaze appeared as a ball of 1ed fire as large as the sun at sunset. On the mountain it was undoubtealy as high as a house. Three lizhts, supposedly those of camp bonfires, were seen on the mountain side toward Paradise Valley. Hundreds of people watching from resi- dences also saw the red lignts. The party which climbed yesterday and to-day to a height of over 15,000 feet, included President Pittock of the Mazamas, Colonel C. P. Ferry and Miss Fay Fuller of Tacoma, Henry Gan- nett, eeozrapher ol the geological survey, and Professor Newell, secretary of the American Forestry Association. bt RED MEN AT A BANQUET.

TACOMA, Wasn, July 27.—*Jack” Hanson, aged 20, had wanted to join a circus for a long time previous to last week, when the Walter L. Main circos came to town and gave him the much- desired opportunity. He ran away on Monday night, joined the show and got as far as Astoria all right. On Friday night he was drowned in the Columbia River and his body was not recovered. While the boats were nearing Brookfield that night, enroute to Portland, Hanson was taken with nightmare and jumped up shouting: “They’re after me; they're af- ter me.”” He was sleeping near the end of the barge, and close by was a pony which had become restless and kept up a stamp- iug. 5 This probably had its effect on Hanson, who in his sleep sprang out of bed, ran to the end of the barge and jumped into the Tiver. The contact with the water awoke him and he cried for help. A fisnerman near by said he shouted three times. Three of the circus employes jumped into the water and swam about, looking for the missing youth, while several boats were lowered, but Hanson could not be found. His parents and friends were opposed to his going away with the circus, and did not know ot his departure until the next day. His sister is the wife of Morton, a tea merchant. He was a steady younz man and had held several good positions in stores. To-day his parents and friends were horrified at receiviog news of his death. SRR Zacema Policeman Kills Himself.
