BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 8.—The arrival of Patrick Murphy with his $200,000 load of gold dust from the Klondike has sent rays | of hope and joy into the hearts of one Mrs. { Boston family. No one took more interest in Murphy’s arrival at San Francisco than Mrs. Catherine Callanan of 256 Everett street, | East Boston. He is her long-lost brother, | whom she has not seen for fifteen years. Interviewed by THE CALL correspondent Mrs. Callanan sata: “My broth=r Patrick is the only living relative tuat I have. We were brought up in Cork and lived there up to thirty vears ago. We then moved to Liverpool. Patrick was a rather wild sort ot a chap. When quite young he entered the English armv, but soon tired of military life. “He accumulated enough money to buy his release and returned to Liverpool. He was of a roving disposition and suddenly took a liking 1o a sailor’s life.

The Governor Stoneman retired from the State service four or five years ago and later spent five or six months at the bot- tom of the Sacramento River. As the tug lies on deck it displays a propeller blade with a fourth of it broken off. The tug's draught is nearly five feet. Her boilers have been lifted out and stowed on deck to lighten her for hoisting. Those who like to shake their heads aay her draught is too much for the sandbars and low water in the river, but then the South Coast expedition is only one of quitea number that will struegle with luck on the Yukon soon, ana there may be a story of disaster to tell, Quite a crowd watched the gang of car- penters at work on her at Mission-street gers, who had on board a heavy outfit, weakened and came ashore.

They will | not be permitted to enter the shaits under | any circumstances. The marchers will | leave a detachment to guard the pit, while the remainaer will go to the Bogzgs Kun mine, six miles away, where 100 men are | employed. The defiani attitude of tie Boggs Run men has rankled deeply in the | bosoms of the strikers, and it is announced | that they will be forced to strike atany cost. The strikers will camp at Boggs Run, being fed by public contributions. | No sooner did the Moundvilie men agree | to march to the operating plants than | their brethren across the river at Wheel- | ing Creek decided on the same procedure. | At 3 o’clock Monday morning 500 of them | ere expected tq march to No. 2 Heather- | ing Bank at Beliaire, while another di- | vision will march to Wigee, two miles | below. | Discontent, for the first time during the | strike, is pervading Belmont district, The | strikers agree that the fight must be set- | tled soon, hence the determination to | supplant public meetings with early morning marches and the more powerful influence exeried by large bodies of strik- | ers.

PETERSBURG, Russia, Aue. 8.—A state banquet was given at the Peterhof Palace last night in honor of the German Emperor and Empress.
