THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1891. MRS R, TVISTER O T (OAST Tornado of the Kansas Variety Visits Shasta County. WRECKS BUILDINGS IN ITS PATH. Rancher Millard’s Dwellin Damaged and His Fruit | Orchard Razed. | | NARROW ESCAPE OF A BABE | FROM DEATH. Porch on Which It Was Sleeping but a Minute Bafore Carrled Away. REDDING, CaL., Aug. 14.—For the first time in the history of Shasta County a cy- clone has made its presence felt. Fred Millard, & well-to-do farmer living on Churn Creek, on the east side of the Sac- ramento River, came io town to-day with | the particulars of a tornado of the Kansas | variety, which visited his section yester- day. Millard lives with his wife and three | children on a homestead near the banks | of Churn Creek. The country is extremely | level and spa settled, the only neigh- | bors of the Miilards being a family named Tracey, living about a mile from the Mil- lard home. Millara and his wife and two children were seated at the table partaking of their noon meal yesterday. Their baby was in 8 carria the front porch, just off the ng-room. Suddenly a roaring noise | heard outside, and Mi ana his | sprang in alarm from the table. Mil- gazed in the direction whence the | noise came, and there, not a half mile away, was an immenss whirling and twist- ing volume of dust tearing from the north toward his house at a frightful speed. | Mlllard has lived in Kansas nearly all his life, and knows what the so-called cy- clone looks like. The moment he set his | eyes on that cioud be knew what to pre- | pare for. He told his wife to take inthe baby from the front porch. No sooner | had she done so, than the tornado struck acorner of the house with terrific force. Before striking the house, however, it struck the woodshed, a good-sized struc- | ture, and lifted it completely off the| CANADA’'S WARLIKE PREPARATIONS. QUEBEC, QUEBEC, Aug. 14.—Whether due to the revival of jingoism in Great Britain or a fear of what may result from Canada’s remarkable stand in matters connected with seals and the Kiondike, certain it is the Dominion is importing enormous muniticns of war that are creating any amount of quiet comment here. | rifle a modern weapon has been substituted in the new Lee-Enfield For the old Snider rifle. Forty thousand of these have arrived and are ready to arm the | whole militia force. Several million cartridges have been turned out | by the Government factory and are now stored in the citadel. Six batteries of 12-pounder breech-loading field guns, a number of Maxim-Nordenfeldt guns, quick-firing Hotchkiss six-pounders in large numbers and quantities of the modern explosive known as cordite have been and are being received from England. Almost each succeeding steamship brings out new stores, and | Colonel Forrest, superintendent of the arsenal, keeps the foreman and {more than a dozen storemen constantly occupied in receiving and | issuing the newly arrived and modern war material. These are quite independent of the employes of the Government cartridge factory, who ammunition. g|are working on full time and turning out an immense quantity of already asssiled the appraiser and sare veyor, and are ready to advance on Col- lector Bidwell on Monday. President Franke thus explained the difficulty: “The new law provides that fruit shall be appraised by weight instead of by the box. This rule made it necessary for fruit to be dumped as it is unloaded and in- spected. The replacing is done by long- shoremen, whosomehow lack the deft and delicate touch characteristic of profes- sional fruit-packers. Moreover, they are slow. What fruit is not ruined by their clumsiness is injured by delay. It used to take two days to clean up incoming fruit ships. Now it takes the greater part of a week.” PN LA DEATH OF SENATOR GEORGE. The Mississippian Succumbs to Heart Disease and Grief Over the Death of His Wife. JACKSON, Miss, Aug. i4.—United States Senator James G. George died this afternoon at Mississippi City, to which place he had been accompanied by his son ten days ago in the hope that the sea breezes of the guif wonld restore his health. Fatty ®egeneration of the heart was the immediate cause of death, but grief over the death of his wife a month ago hastened his end. They celebrated their golden wedding in May last. Senator George was born in Georgia in 1526. He was a farmer boy until he grew to manhood, when he studied 1aw and got into politics. Thereaiter his rise was rapid. He served through the war, after which he was elevated to the Supreme Court bench. He was succeeded by B. K. Bruce (colored) in the United States Sen- etein 1881. His present term would have expired in 1899, Those mentioned as his successor are Senator-elect Money, Con- gressmen Allen and Sullivan, ex-Governor Lowry and others. Whoever is appointed he will be a silver man, e WOEKSE THAN OFFICIAL WORK. The President Getting Little Rest on His Vacation. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Aug. 14.—This ground, carrying it above the house and setting it down, somewhat demolished, about 100 yards south of the residence. Fences were taken up and carried for 500 yards, and » huge piece of wagon timber, 1o which was nailed a piece of iron weigh- ing twelve pounds, was lifted and carried as though it were a feather. The twister took away halfof the porch, and where the baby had been a few sec- onds before there was left a mass of ruins. The baby-carriage was wrecked, and of the porch only debris remained. Fence- | panels, shingles, scantlings and various | other pieces of woodwork were scattered along the path of the tornado for overa mile. The path was about fifty feet wide, and looked as though it had been cleared with a mammoth broom. After the tornado had passed Millard proceeded to take stock of his remaining possessions. The children were found all safe, but the house was just tottering. The woodshed, fences and all outhouses were missing, and the spoton which a few seconds before had stood a small-sized, thrifty orchard was now reduced to atract that resembled a good-sized croquet ground ready for play. Further down the creek the tornado swept away trees, fences and a small bridge, but fortunately 1o other house lay in its path. The day was a perfect one and not the least wind had been noticeable. The twister started about a mile above Mil- lard’s house and had not spent its force until when about two miles below, when | it came in contact with Churn Creek and | tnen collapsed. Nothing of the like has ever before been witnessed anywhere in this country. No heavy windstorms are usual, and the pros- pect for the planting of Kansas cyclones in Shasta County is not thoroughly appre- ciated by the residents. BITTER KEATUCKY FEUD. John Dugan’s Sentence for Killing John C. Colson Does Not End the Trouble. BARBOURVILLE, Ky., Aug 14 — Jobn Dugan, who killed Congressman Colson’s brother, was found guiity of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to twenty-one vears in the penitentiary. | Daring a portion of the trial no one was admitted to the courtroom except the at- torneys, by order of Judge Clark, on ac- count of an alleged attempt 1o assassinate Dugan. The jail was guarded by friends of the prisoner and the court was asked to place a sufficient guard to protect the life of Dugan. Colson ana bis friends deny that an at- tempt was made on Dugan’s life, while Dugan’s friends say there was, and that the deputy jailer prevented it, D. G. Colson, a brother of John C. Col- sbn, who was killed in Middlesboro, has announced that he will sue the Louisville Dispatch for publishing reports concern- ing friends of the prosecution which he claims to be false. Tne dispatch stated that Congressman Coison and friends were there with a load of Winchesters and ready to wage war on their enemies (he defense, at any time and that the streets of Barbourville were expected to flow with blood at any moment, which report, he charges, was false and was done to injure him. This will be one of the charges that will be stated in the petition. The people of Bell County are very indignant over such reports, as they cast a cloud on the character and reputation of the best citi- zens of Bell County. SPOILED IN APPRAISING. Protests Against the Way Customs Of- ficers Handle Fruit in New York. N?Z\\' YORK, N. Y., Aug. 14.—The Fruiv-buyers’ Union is carrying on a run- ring fight with the Custom-house in re- gard to the way in which requirements of the Dmgley law that affect the fruit trade are carried out at this port, They have bas been a day of rest with President Mc- Kinley. He needed rest from his trip through the Vermont hills almost as much as Mrs. McKinley. The only de- parture from a routine day at the summer resort was a reception eiven by Mrs. Me- Kinley to the ladies of the Plattsburg gar- rison this evening. The President did not feel able to attend Congressman Foote’s dinner to-day, at which Governor Biack and several New York State Con- gressmen attended. The President will accept no more invitations during his stay, except he may possibly attend a public reception at Plattsburg. He will attend Trinity Episcopal Church to-mor- row. Secretary Bliss and Postmaster- General Gary arrived this evening. S s AST OF THE 4SSUMPTION, F To-Day There Will Be a Catholio Pil- grimage to Holy HuLl HARTFORD, Wis., Aug. 14.—To-mor- row being the Feast of the Assumption, a large number of Catholics from this and adjoining States will take a pilgrimage to the Church of St. Mary’s, on Holy Hill, there to offer prayers for relief from phy- sical and mental ills before the shrine of the blessed Virgin, which occupies a grotto which is an exact representation of the original grotto at Lourdes. So many miraculous cures areattributed to Holy Hill that it has become one of the best known places of pilgrimage in the world. Services are held in the chapel only on special feast days, and to-morrow there will be two celebrations of high pontifical mass in the morning, with vespe1s in the afternoon. et IT0’S WAKLIKE LANGUAGE, ‘The Marquis Has Not Changed His Mind bdince the Paris Interview. NEW YORK;-N. Y., Aug. 14.—Marquis Ito, the Japanese Embassador to the dia- mond juvilee, left to-night for Van- couver, whence he will sail for home. In Paris the Marquis submitted to an inter- view, in which he said if the United States wanted war with Japan she could have it. Ina short interview to-day the Marquis made the significant remark that he had not changed his mind since the Paris in- terview. He refused to discuss Hawaii. oty S S Fire Chiefs Bound for New Haven. CHICAGO, Iin, Aug. 14—OChiefs and subordinate officers of the Fire Depart- ments of the principal towns of the State rendezvoused this morning at the Audi- torium Hotel, en route to New Haven, Conn., where the twenty-fifth annual convention of the International Associa- tion of Fire Engineers opens next week. The delegation from this State is the largest yet sent to the ional gathering. S She Smoked Cigarettes in Bed. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 14.—Soubrette Bessie Jackson’s bed caught on fire from a cigarette she smoked early this morning and the woman was burned to death. Bessie Jackson was very well known among the theatrical people. Sha haa often been warned about the danger of smoking in bed, but she had never paid Ialuy attention to the good advice given er. . Married Thirteen Times. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Aug. 14.—Albert F. Kneeland will probably hereafter believe that13 is an unlucky number. He isin jail here on a charge of bigamy. When ar- rested the extent of his matrimonial frauds was not known, but since he has been in jail evidence agains: him has been rowing until now the authorities have proof that he has been married to thirteen different women. —_———— Suicigde of Captain Shafor, GALLATIN, TENN., Aug. 14.—Captain W. H. Bhaler, one of the best racing men in the South, committed suicide by shoot- ing himself through the left temple in a room 1n Trousdale House early this morn- ing. No cause is known. He was wealthy and seemingly happily situated in all his ! relations. He was worth in the neighbor- hood of $150,000. He was 55 years old and & widower. TAKE IT A3 A HUGE JOKE Englishmen Inclined to Smile at the Paris Duel. Spectacle Presented by Prince Henri of Orleans, Who Craves Notoriety. Meanwhile Arrangements Are Be- Ing Completed for His Meet- Ing the Count of Turln. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 14.—Public opin- ion on the Prince Henri of Orleans and Count of Turin embroglio depends upon the poiat of view. Frenchmen, Italians and, indeed, all the Continental peoples, regard the matter as solemnly tragic, Englishmen take 1t as a huge joke. Cer- tainly the Paris dispatches now received in London from hour detailing each word and movement of the principals and sec- onds read like bulletins of some great in- ternational crisis and appeal more to one's sense of humor than to any other emotion. It is well known that Prince Henri craves notoriety above all else, and the spectacle of this Prince, by courtesy, with sword in hand, accepting the challenge of the whole Italian army, is sublime enough to satisfy even his ambition. The latest bulletin, hot from the wires, says the encounter will probably take place in the woods near Paris on Monday morning. Not a soul will be present, so the dispatch says, except the vrincipals, seconds and doctors. These latter may be assumed in advance quite superfluous. A bit of courtplaster in the pocket of one of the seconds will be quite sufficient, even/ if the deadly affray reaches a point where a scratch is necessary for the honor of Italy and France. Another dispatch explains that the seconds gravely debated for twoand a half hours the question of the rights of the traveling commentator to criticizs or de. scrie what he sees and hears. It is also solemnly declared that Albertone with- draws his challenge simply to give the Count of Turin the first go. In the meantime Paris isin a fever of excitement. One would almost imagine from the talk of the boulevards that if the young Prince should by any chances slay his Italian antagonist, the people would insist upon overthrowing the republic in order to make the hero Emperor of France. Nobody on this side of the chan- nel believes there will be more blood shed than would suffice to write the signature of the victor with a fine quill pen. PARIS, FRANCE, Aug. 14.—The seconds appointed by Lieutenant Piri of the Ital- ian army, whose challenge was ignored by Prince Henri of Orlears, have drawn up a proces verbal declaring that Prince Henri refused to fight Lieutenant Piri, contrary to ail laws of chivalry. The latest advices concerning the pro- posed duel between Prince Henri and the Count of Turin say their respective sec- onds have now definitely concluded their pourparlers, and agreed to conditions as to time and place of the combat. The seconds are also sworn to observe secrecy in regard to the encounter, which, it is declared, will be kept in spite of the fact that 100 newspaper reporters, representing ail countries, are on thé alert to obtain an account of the duel. WINS 1HE FIEST RACE, an American Boat, Beats the Canadian Yacht Glencairn. MONTREAL, QuEsec, Aug. 14.—The Momo, an American boat, won the first race to-day for thé~Seawanhaka Corinth. ian one-rater trophy on Lake St. Louis, defeating the Canadian yacht Glencairn 11 decisively. The American led from start to finish and won by 4 minutes and 15 seconds, corrected time. An immense crowd watched the little racers with great interest, and the Treception given the American boat at the finish was most hearty acd friendly, steamers whistling and crowds of Canadians cheering as though their boat had won. To-day’s race was & good test of the merits of both boats. The boat that wins three races takes the cup. Xomo, French and Siamese. BANGKOK, 8iaM, Aug. 14.—Reports have been received of hard fighting be- tween the French and the Siamese over attetupts made by the latter to invade French ierritory in Indo-China. Several of the Siamese officers were captured by the French. e Delaware’s Short Peach Crop. WILMINGTON, DL, Aug. 14.—The peach crop in this Btate is so smail that raiiroads are paying no attention to shipments. The largest shipment made in one day was a carload from Milford. There will be few if any peach trains re- quired, asin former years. ——— Canadian- Australian Steamers. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, Aug. 14.—James E. White, Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, reports that future sailings of the Canadian-Australian Company’s steamers from Vancouver, B. C., with mails for Australia, Hawaii, etc., will oc- cur as follows: September 8 and 20, Octo- ber 18, November 15 and December 13, 1897, .nd&.hmury 10, February 7 and March 7, 1898 EUROPE SCARED BY ANARCHISTS Official Panics in Large Cities Encourage the Miscreants. lnternational. Action Against Them Is Prevented by England. Trafalgar Square, London, at Thelr Disposal for the Preaching of Death and Ruin. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 14.—The atten- tion of continental Europe is largely given to the anarchistic scare. It is a difficuit job to regard thke subject altogether se- riously. The manifestations of official panic in the face of anarchist plotters in Paris'and one or two other places are the worst possible confessions of fear of the miscreants, whose highest ambitions are thus gratified. Agitation in favor of the severest international measures against anarchists has been revived in all the capitals, but it is already admitted that there is little prospect of their adoption, owing to the unwillingnes: of England to consent to any restrictions upon speech and liberty unless some overt criminal act is commitied. The English idea is that this couniry owes its freedom from an- archist outrages to the fact that it offers the only asylum in Europe for this stamp of rascals. The fact 1s that England is too selfish to sacrifice her immunity by mak- ing common cause with all the world against these human vermin. The London authorities, therefore, have granted permission, without hesitation, for an anarchist meeting in Trafalgar Square. This has aroused a public pro- test, which has brought a reply from the Commissioner of Police, who says he does not know officially that the applicants are ! KLONDYKE NUGCET X PRESS NEW TO-DAY—CLOTHING. A Laundered Shirt Sale For Monday. anarchists and therefore he is unable to refuse the application, which is fora meet- g to protest against the cruelties in- flicted in Spanish prisons. It is not yet decided whether the meeting will be held to-morrow or on August 22, Meantime it is not unlikely that the per- mit will be revoked by the Home Secre- tary, in response to the Spanish Embas- sador’s remonstrance and the public pro- tests. Thera 1s a distinct wenkening in the English objection to joining the uni- versal campaign of extermination against anarchists. Even ministerial journals have this week admitted that the protests of the continental Governments against England harboring professional murder- ers who plot against the lives of ior- eign rulers are well founded. Several journals advocate the prompt adoption of strict regulations of exclu- sion, assuring the authorities that Parlia- ment will unquestionably indemnify them if their action is illegal. It is pointed out that if the United States is able to ex- clude known anarchists, as dispatches announce it will do, it is certainly within the power of the English authorities to do likewise. DISTINGUISHED GEOLOGISTS, Gathering at 8t. Petersburg for an In- ternational Congress. ST! PETERSBURG, Russia, Aug. 14.— Distinguished geologists from all parts of the world are gathering here to take part in the International Geological Congress, which opens to-morrow and continues for two weeks. The hotels are also filling up with distinguished members of the medi- cal profession, who are to take part in the international conference of physicians and surgeons. Both events are under the immediate patronage of the Czar, and the committees of reception and entertain- ment include many members of nobility and distinguished savants, scientists and publicists.

At the time that General Miles captured Geronimo in 1886, Elias and two or three bucks got away from the round-up ana have been rendezvousing in the Perico and Pinito mountains, east of Bacoache, and running from there over into the Teras mountains, another very inaccessible region. None of the surveyors knew who the old man was, but his accent betrayed his Apache origin, and they questioned him very closely. Elias told them that he haa been to Nozales on business. He had a heavy pack on his back and was well armed. None of the surveying party were armed or they would have arrested the Apache on suspicion and general prin. ciples for being so far away from the San Carlos reservation. The next day the surveyors learned that they haa conversed with Elias and that several days before he was at La Mexicana trying to buy cartridges. These were re- fused him. It1ssupposed now that Elias went up to Nogales and secured his am- munition and was on his way back to his mountain fastness when the surveyors met him. ' N = Mrs, Angell's Mother in Ignorance. =.

The Pretender Could Arm Many Men and March Into Madrid Without a Struggle. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 14.—The Tribune says: R. D. Cortina, probably the best-known representative of the Carl- ist party now in this city, had some in- teresting things to say to a reporter in re- lation to the assassination of Premier Canovas and the effect it will probably have upon Spanish politics. Mr. Cortina believes that the uitimats result of the murder of the Prime Minister will be the accession of Don Carlos to the throne of Spain. i “I deplore tnhe death of Canovas, of course,” he said, “and especially in view of tne horrible manner of his taking off. Canovas was undoubtedly one of the greatest statesmen of the day. But for all that I cannot help thinking that the result will ultimately be good. Canovas was a firm believer in dynasty. He placed the Queen Regent and her son where they are, and he kept them there almost alone and single-handed. The persistent prosecution of the Cuban war is “It seems to me that the final result of the assassination of Canovas will be the seating of Don Carlos upon the throne of Spain. I fully expect to see him there by January 1, This will happen, I believe, for several reasons. In the first place, the Queen Regent has not the people be- hind her. Nobody wants her where she is. As Isaid, it was Canovas who kept her there, and his success in doing so con- stitutes, I think, one of the greatest polit- ical achievements of modern times. But Canovas is dead, and he has no successor. The Conservative party, so called, is strongly on paper. As a matter of fact, the great body of people are either Re- publicans or Carlists. The Republicans belong to the class of producers, and they confound Republicanism with socialism. But they are not united. There are four or five factions among them. The middle and upper classes are Carlists almost to a man, and they are the influential people. “Don Carlos could arm many men now, and could march into Madrid without a struggle. How could he be stopped, when Spain has 200,000 soldiers in Cuba and 50,- 000 men in the Philippines? But he re- fuses to do it. Here I have a letter writ- ten by his secretary from Lucerne, where Don Carlos is now staying. He is too patri- otic to take wnat he might have. It would be too much like taking advantage of the Cuban war and the trouble in the Pnilip- pines, he thinks, and he loves his own party. The Populists are angry over the defeat of their candidate for Licutenant= Governor. Echols is a railroad man and & goldbug. —— CAFFREY ON DEMOCERACX. The Louisiana Senator Gives His Ficws and Points Out the Way. NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 14.—Senator Caffrey is out with a long interview in which he laysdown his views of the Democratic doctrines and policy which the Democracy ought to pursue. The in- terview 1s in answer to Senator Mc- Enery’s recent speech delivered in New Orleans and is intended to try and rally the Democratic voters to the Indian- apolis platform in favor of free trade and nst fre2 silver. It isa bitter denun- ciation of the Dingley bill and of the de- serters, among whom Senator McEnery is inferentially classed. Caffery concludes his denunciation of the sugar scheauls as follows: “The high duty which the Senate has placed on beet sugar presupposes the very rapid development of the beet industry in this country. Cane industry, with its ex- tremely high rate, will likewise expwnd. If this high duty is only kept on long enough sugar will cease to be a measure of revenue to the Government and cither the Democratic or the Republican party will be forced to put it on the free lisi.” It is not thought the interview wiil ex- ercise any influence in Democratic circles as Caffery’s break away from the Domoc- racy at Indianapolis has desiroyed the little influence he ever exerted in politis country more than his own profit. Butit must come in the end POPULISTS ARE ANGRY, Their Candidate for Lieutenant- Governor Rejected by the Firainia Democrats.
