THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY. 1897 EPTEMBER 8, overland route—though by no means the best—to the Klondike. Mr.Ivey informs me that there £re now between the water and the luke something liks 4000 people and about 2000 borses. The commander of one of the vessels now at fkaguay states that sixteen vess:lsare now chartered to land cargces at that place bo- tween now and the 15th of September. and tual the number of passengers will average 200 to each vessel, making 3200 more people who will attempt to go in this fall. I heve talked with some of the mostexpe- rienced traders and miners in the vicinity and they are unenimous in the prediction thatnot over 20 per cent of this vast number will get through to Dawson before winter sets in trail, ana those who survive and get back to tidewater will have to winter at Skaguay or return south. If the rush continues two weeks longer nundreds of people wiil perish. The postmastor and Indian trader at this place, Mr. Heron, states that more than 1000 men have gome up the Chilcoot Pass during the past thirty days, and that 700 of them are still this side of the irom here. Vessels are ar two, and at the present rate of influx andther thousand will enter the trail by September 10. Mr. Heron 1s of the opinion that noi more than twenty out’ of a hundred will get through, andsays this trail this far 1s more datgerous than Skaguay after the snows set in. Hesayr if the rush continues another week the resuit- ant loss of life will be appalling. Itis difficult to suggest a way to stop this inrush ot people, but Mr. Ivey intimates that if the inspection rules of the Treasury Depart- ment were properly enforced it would ma- terially decresse the number of passengers on the incoming vessels. Nearly every vessel that arrives here brings twice as many pas- sengers as the lsw aliows it to carry, and many of them are condemned craft which have been fitted up for this trade. I have 'alked with several men who have re- cently arrivea here from the Klondike, two of a left there less thaa thirty days ago. ¥ agree toat there is a rich do mot jusily t stempede, aud they say the much suffering and actuul ions are already scarce and i jces of many articles absolutely prohib:tory u the case of & man of ordinary mail facilities are very bad here, 8s flice Department has not made any aliow for the rapid grow:h of the postal business. -— ONE DESERTER CAPTURED. nce But the Prisoner Jumped From the Marshal’s Boat and Swam Bick to the Concord. JUNEAU, ALaska, Aug. 31.—One of the nineteen desert gunboat Concord, ancuored in the stream here, bas been capiured by United Siates Deputy Marshal Hale stationed at Juneau. The others have been heard from on the | Dyea trail, headed tor Dawson City, with 100 great a start 10 be captured. Itissaid tbat any man who arrests a deserter from the navy and who brings him abéard ship gets $10 and expenses for the service. Deputy Marshal Hale took off his prisoner 10 & small poat, making him do the rowing. When about midstream the following conversation began: “Can you swim?"’ biuntly inquired the captive one. ‘‘Never mind; you row,” replied Hale. “Well, but 'm not stuck on this. Can vouswim? | want to know,” e deserter, locking at the officer with nmistakable significance. “You shut up and keep at it,” said the deputy, sharply. The prisoner rowed a few more strokes and tnen asked again, “Can you swim?” Hale, suspecting trouble, drew from bis belt a large revolver, brought the muzz'e 10 bear on the broad bosom of the tar and commanded, “Row!" Jack rowed. about & minute Jack inquired again, “Can you swim?"’ and stobped rowing. Before giving Deputy Hule time to reply, and evidently thinking the Deputy Marshal was running a bluff on him with the gun, he went on: Dash you, you think you're going to make 8 monkey of me—row you to the ship and you get $10 for it? I'll be dead first. If it's aboard you're going, you row.” ‘With that the able seaman of the Con- cord pulied in the oars and laid them in- de the boat. Then he said with defianc? “Dash you, vou can’t swim, youcan't shoot and you can‘t row. What are you going to do about it?” Hale did not feel justified in shooting the man. The prisoner stood up, ad- vanced slowly toward the deputy and— sat down beside him. He made h'mseli comforwable, while the Marshal went for- ward and tried to row. Quick as s flash t(he deserfer turned a back somersaul: from the boat and disap- peared in the water. He came to the sur- tace about ten fathoms forward of the rowboat and started to swim abead to the Concord. Hale said be wouid have shot at the man had he not headed for the ship. He rowed in pursuit, but Jack reached the gunboat first, climbed the an- chor-chain and was on deck bvefore the Marshal came alongside. Hale claimed the reward, but there was diflically about coilecting it under the peculiar circum- stances. Jack returned aboard of his own free will and not 1n custody. The laugh is on the Marshal. If the commander of the Concord recovers the other eighteen deserters he must go after them himself. He has sailed south with the new Governor of Alaska, John Greeu Brady, on a tour of inspection. EAL HorrMax. S S e DEPARTURE OF THE AL-KIL Customs Officers Go Aboard and Seize Enough Liquor to S:art a Saloon. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., Sept, 7.— The steamer Al-Ki sailed to-dav for Dyea with sixty passengers, fifty head of cattle and several horses and sheep. While Iving st the wharf to-day the customs officers boardea the Al-Kiand seized several hundred gallons of whisky and other property necessary for a full- fledzed saloon. The spirits were in kegs and bottles, all of which were encased in jute secks. The outflt, which the cus- toms officers estimate 1o have cost $500, was put aboard and stowed away either 1wt Beattle or Tacoms, but was not billed >r marsed in any way and did appear on ihe ship’s manifest. It the owner of the saloon outfit was present when the stuff was seized he did 20t make himself known. —— Awalting the Clevaland.

His Letters to Widow Feldt Are Very Amusing to the Crowd. A " Greedy Attorney” to Whcm They Refer Enjoys the Hum- orous Situation. CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 7.—Two strong points were scored by the prosecution in the Luetgert trial to-day, and unles the defense is able to impeack the testimony of the witnesses their evidence is likely to have considerable weight with the jury. The two witnesses were N.cholas Faber, who testifiel that on the night of May 1 he saw Luetzert and bis wiie enter the sausage faciory, and Charles Hengst, who swore thaton the night of Mayv 1 he passed toe factory and beard a cry from within, as though som=one was in pain. At the hearing before the Police Justice by whom Luetgert was hell to await the action of tell whether the cry was of a buman being or of an animal. To-day he said, how- | ever, that he was contid ‘nt the cry came | from a numan being. The defense rely | greatly on tue statement e made before the trial (0 imp: ach his testimony. Faber grew confused somewhat on cross- examination, and could not tell whether the moon shone, or whether it was a cloudv night when he saw Luetgert and his wife enter the factory on the night of May 1; but he stuck stoutly to his story that he bad seen the people enter tie factory suortly after 10 o'clock on the night of May 1. The reading of the love letters which had been written by Luetgert to Mrs. Feldt was great fun for the crowd in the courtroom, and wzs very embarrassing for the defendant, as in several of them he had spoken in a slighting manner ot | the lawyers who are now conducting his i defense, saying that they were “greedy”” and not able to handie a tria! of such im- portance. He laid particular stress on the incom- patency of Judge Vincent, who is now the leading counsel for the defense. When these portions of the letters were read, the lawyers laughed and nobody enjoyed them more than Judge Vincent; outit was not pleasant for Luetgert, who twisted around in his chai-, mopp2d his face witn Ins handkerchief aud was very uncomfort- able generally. Tne defense made a strong fight against the introduction of the letters, and when the court decidec that they were proper evidence the defense asked thatthey be read in German, as they might lose some of their original meaning by being read in English. This the court overruled, and the letters went before the jury as the I translator mada them out, he, however, swearing that the iranslaticn was entirely correct. Assistant State Attorney McEwan pro- ceeced with the direct examination, which dea't largely with the financial relations between Luetgert and Mrs. Ferdt, She ad- mitged having received fundsirom Luet- gery prior to his arrest, and said shs had withdrawn the money, at bis demand, fron a safety deposit vault for his use. The sumsshe had withdrawn footed up to $4000, thesentire amount she had received. She asserted her ignorance of how this money was used by the prisoner, but admitted that portions of it had been re:ained by her, on his order, for the care of his ¢h dren. She a-serted that she bad refusea to iend Luetgert ber own money upon the requests she bad received from him in the letrers, ‘#he State regards Mrs. Feldt as one of its most important witnesses, as througn her testimony it expects toestablish Luet- gert’s motive in the alleged murder of his wife. Nicholas Faber, an ex-amploye of Luet- ger., was next put on the stand. He tes- tified to haviug seen Luetgert and his wife enter the factory on the ¢vening of May 1. Undercross-examination Faber was forced to admit that he did not know anything that happened on any other particolar date near May 1. He was aiso unable to tell whether 1t was a moonlight night or cloudy. He simp'y stuck to the fact that he had seen the woman and heard the two talk. The defense expects to controvert many mmor noints of Faver's testimon An incident occurred during Faber testimony that showed that Lueigert was possessed of a high temper wuen aroused. Bailiff Reid, the colored officer in whose | custody the pr soner isplaced, attempted to restrain his charge from crissing to the witness-stand with his attorneys for the purpose of watching Faber designate on the map the locition where he asserted aesaw Mrs. Lueizeit enter the factory. Luetgert would not brook the restraint snd turned on the bailiff, his face flushed with anger, and denounced the attempt to deprive him of what he considered his righte in the trial. ‘Attorney Vincent appealed to the court and Judge Tatbill permitted the big de- fondant toexamine the maps in company with the attorneys. After Faber left the stand the court took a recess. Charles Hengst, who was the first wit- nees at the afternoon session, is an honest- appearing German, and one of the few witnesses who rendered his testimony in English. He told about having heard the cry of a persen, but was considerably confused when cros:-examined by Attor- | ney Phelan as to his testimony at the pre- ! liminery hearing. It wassbhown from the record of the hearing before the Justice that Hengst had shown his ignoyance as to whether the cry was that of a human being or an animal. To-day he saia he was quite positive it was ths cry of a human being. Fritz Figel, who worked for Luetgert on May 4, toid how be bad empiied a barrel of ashes in the alley and Officer James Sm.th testitied to having found particles ot bone and two corse: steels in the pile of debris where the ashes were emptied. Frederick Augustus Scbuelz testified to former quarrels between Lusigert an his wife, in which Luetgert had threat- ened to take her life. The witnessis 7l vears old and feevle. He is so deaf that nterpreter Liebig was compelled to stand close to his side in order to repeat the questions of the attorneys. The defense felt that they bad under- mined his testimony to a large extent when they gainea an admission from the witness that he was 100 eet away from Luetgert at the time of the quarrel. How 50 ceaf a man could hear low tones 100 feet away considerably mvstified the de- fense and they felt exultant over securing the eyidence. Many Fuitdinix Burned.

Count Okuma’s Letter to the Japanese Minister in Honolulu. Again Clearly Designates Hawail’s Action as ‘' Capriclous and Arbitrary.” "t i WASHINGTON, D. C.,, S»pt. 7.—The full text of tbe form of acceptance by the Japanese Government of the proposal to arbitrate its aifferences with Hawaii has been received in this city, and a copy was to-day d-livered to Secretary Sherman by Secretary of the Japanese Legation Matsu. It is from Count Okuma, Minister of For- eign Affair-, to H. Shimamura, Japanese Minister 10 Hawaii. Afteracknowledging the receipt of Hawaii’s offer of arbitration, it says: The Imperial Government are firmly con- vineed that iheir comp'aints in this matter are well founded aud toat their demands are just and ressonuble. Nevertheless, in a spirit of concilia.ion, and in the hope that ineir action may coutribute to tie good relations of the two countries, they have resolved to | Kecept, subject 10 certain necessary limita- tious und qual fications, the proposal of the Government of Hawaii, Accordingly, ou the 29th ult,, I telegraphea 10 you to the cifeet that the Japaness Govern: m:nt accepted in pricipls the suggestion of the Governmeit of Hawaii for arbitration. and that the terms and conditions of such seceptance would follow by mail. ! I now confirm that telegram, and the object of this instruciion is fo_explain the natuie of the terms and conditions, an adhesion 10 which is, in the estimatiou of the Imperial; Government, essential to 8 satisiactory issue of the contemplated arrangement. . The reasons sssigned by the Minister o! Foreign Aff+irs of Hawaiiin favor of arbitra- tion wake it also desirable tuat the award. wheu pronounced, shali b of the highest and most commanding cuaracter. Consequently the Imperial Government propose that;tne two goveruments shail, wae'i the proper time ar- rives, unite in requesting that his Majesty, the King of the Belgians, may be pleascd L0 ac- the porition of sole arbitrator. ne Imperial Government is, moreover, per- surded of the desirabi.ity of expr:;:llg:lcyfl?‘; ing the scops of the reference, otfe: to lighven the labors of the arbitrator but with the view as well that the decision may nddress itself solely to the actual points of divergence. We, lhire[orc. propose that the two govern- ments shall agree to the essential facts of the Ccase, and that the arbitration shall be limited to specificd questions at law, in case the award is in favor of Japan. the measure of demages suff:red by the subjects of his Ime erial Majesty. 3 5 It is dlmjm frankness that I should in this connection stute that for reasons Which are fully set forth in another instruction the Imperial Government cannot consent that the question of the bona fide possession of 50 by each of the rejecied free laborers, or of the applicability of the treaty of 1871 to the Japanese subjects other than those be- longing fo the merchant class, shall be re- garded as points of issue upon which the de- cision of the arbitrator is t be inviied. 1f the Government of the republic is pre- pared to mee: the Imperial Government upon the foregoing essential points itis not appre- hended tnat any difficults wili be experieneed | in arriving at an agreement in relerence 1o | stions of minor importance. You are consequently directed to communi- | ¢ate a copy Of this instruction to the Minister | of Foreign Affairs as the reply of the Imperial | Government to the snggestion contatued in his note of the 28tn of June. You will at the ssme time yrgantly impress upon him the im- portance of an immediate response. 1 s, sir, etc., etc., COUNT OKUMA SHIGENOBU, Minister for Foreign Affairs. The following abstracts from the in- struction referred to by Count Okumain | the forezoing letter explain why ths Japa- nese Government wishes to restrict tue scope of the arbitration. Alluding to | Mr. Cooper’s objection to the use of the words “arbitrary’” and ‘“capricious” in characterizing the refusal of the Ha- watian Government to allow the Japanese immigrants to land, Count Okuma says: Mr. Cooper, I observe, taces excéption to the words emploved by me in criticizing tbe ac- tion of the Hawaiian authorities. He will, [ am sure, undersiand that I have no iztention of making use of a single expression that could not be tully sustained. Ishould be sin- cerely gratified, in the interest of tne neigh- borly séntiments which have so long united the two conntries, if I could tind any réacon ta moderate the views wh ch I have felt bound to formulate. But unjortunately there 1s nothing either in the notes under ac- knowledgment or in the more recently ce- veloped Iucts of the case tending to place the acis complained of more favorabie light. In my jusiruction of the 12th of Junel ex. pressed the firm convictiou that the acts of expulsion were in violation of treaty stipula- tions—were wiihout warrant or dus process ot law and in disregar | of the remedial rights of the cxpelled immigrauts, and also that those jmmigrants had been restrained in their 1ib- erty. That instruction has not yet been answered, and unless 1t can be shown that the conviction thus advenced was erroneous I shall not be able to admit that any word hay- ing a less precise meaning than “arbitrary” would accurately describe the nature of the proceedings complained of. The unaccountable delay in the assignment of the reasons for denying residential rights, more especially in respect to the passengers per tne steamshtp Shin-Shin Maru and Sakura Muru, and the present attempt to substitute other reasons for those originally advanced; the uncertainty when or by whom the several inquirtes or invesiigations leading up to the act o1 expulsion were actually conducted; the doabt when or by whom the qualifications of the immigrants were finaly determined; the fact that distinctions were made between ir. dividual immigrants who, in contemplation of the treaty and the laws oi Hawail, &tood abso- lutely upon an equal footing, and finally the circumstances that the new rflllcy of whole- sale exclusion was suddenly inaugurated without an¥ notice whatever to Jupan and in direct and absolute contradiction of the pre- existing poiicy, all unite to give the procced- ings & charecter to which the application of the term “capricious” does not, I am well persusdad, exceed the bounds of fair and just comment and condemnation. Tne Hawaiian Government, Count Okuma goes on 1o say, has persisted in shifting the issue concerning the reasons assigned for refusing to allow the immi- grants to land. Ou this account it should not now occasion any surprise, he be- lieves, if the Japanese Governmicnt de- clines to discuss the question whether the possession by each free immigrant of $50 was bona fide or nof. “The Imperial Government,” he ob- serves, “‘maintains that in the present case possession was prima facie evidence of ownership. The Hawaiian Govern- ment has frankly and unequivocaily ad- mitted that each of the rejected free im- igrants was actually in possession of §30, nd_has, moreover, declared that under the Haweiian law ‘possession’ is svnony- mous with ‘ownership.’ Consequently the Imperial Government denies that it Scrofula Swellings Liver Complalntand Other Troubles Relleved by Hood's. “I have been troubled with liver com. plaint and scrofu'a swellings on my neck.

A Schooner Laden With Shot and & hell for the Cubans Thought to Be Lost. PHILADELPHI1A, Pa., Sept. 7.—From information brought to this port to-night by the British steamship Straits of Dover from Santiago de Cuba thera is reason to fear that the schooner Donna T. Briggs, which sailed from New York three weeks ago with arms and ammaunition for the insargents, has foundered. The steamer brought word that the Briggs had not ar- rived, and that nothing had been heard o! her. Her cargo was intended for General | Gareia, who is encamped in the moun- tains near Laracca on the north coast of the province, awaiting the arrival of the vessel. She was deeply laden with a dead-weight cargo of shot and shell when she left New York. Soon alter a tropical cyclone swept the Bahama Istands, and it is not unlikely that the Briggs went down in this. The tug Dauntless, which was to have met her and taken on board this cargo, still re- mains at Savannah, having been unable 1o locate the Briggs. St SAVED BX ¢uNSUL LEE. Loranzo Vires, Who Was Released From @ Spanish Prison, in New York NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 7.—The Ward line steamer Yumurui, which arrived here to-day from Tampico and Havana, brought Lorenzo Vives, who was arrested iast Desember at Hotel Angleterre, in Havana, and imprisoned at Cabanas for five months. Vives is an American citi- zen. He denounces in bitter terms the botel proprietor of the Villamille, who is a capiain in the Spanish voiunteers. Viilamille reported to the Spanish author- ities that Vives was a Cuban sympaibizer and caused his arrest. Without friends at haud or means of commuunicating with them. Vives was held a* the Cavanas fort- ress five months, until he was taken out with a larze number of prisoners to be transyorted to Afriza, but Consul-General L-e interfered and demanded his release asan American citizen. Vives was sent to jail, and later, turough the efforts of General Lee, obtained his release, Vives admitied that he had been sent out on a secret mission by the Cuban Junta, but tbe Spamish authorities were unable to prove thi.. He says the ony thing that saved him was the fact that he was an American cit'zen. —_————— PRINCE BISMARCK’'S VIEWS. Says Germany May Regret Haring H. ravsed Great Britain Ioo dwci. PARIS, Frixce, Sept. 7.—The Gaulois to-day prints an interview with Prince Bismarck in which he is quoted as having expressed fear that the efforis made at Peterhof were so much wasted time. What was required, the ex-Chancellor is said to have added, was a serious, active agreement with a well-defined programme and much clear-sightedness and tenacity to achieve a result whereby the preten- sions of Great Britain could be stayed. i The Prince is furtber quoted as_saving “It is absolutely certain that Germany will not succeed 1n attaining this end, and she may regret having herassed England too much.,” Strong Opposition to Bishop Keene.

Sentenced by a Kansas Judge for Robbing a Store in That State. Bsfore Baing Convicted, However, He Made a Desperate Attempt to Escape. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Bept. 7.—Judge Burris, at Olathe, Kans., this afternoon sentenced James Gordon, alias James Croombs, alias “Black Bart,” ta five vears imprisonment in the Kansas Penitentiary for robbing the store of M. S. Detar of Edgerton, Kans., of §400 worth of good: on the night of August 24. Gordon acquired the name of “Black Bart” in California, where he became noted as a stage robber. Lately he has been working in Kansas City and the small towns in eastern Kansas. Hewas arrested in Kansas City last Friday on suspicion of being one of the murderers of Otficer Jacobson, who was slain by burg- lars the evening before, but was able to clear himself of the charge. He was recognized by Chief Hayes, however, as the same man who was arrested here ten years ago for the Calie fornia robbery, and a litt.e inquiry de- veloped the fact that he was wanted in Kansas for burgiary. As soon as he was taken to Olathe, near which place he was raised, he was recognized as “'Black Bart”” and admitted his 1dentity. He was tried yesterday and convicted, and to-day was sentenced. As Sheriff Glover was returning him to jail to-day, after sentence had been pro- nounced, Gordon managed to slip one of his haods out of the handcuffs and took leg bail. The Sheriff and a big crowd chased him for several blocks, with Gor- don gaining every moment, and finally the Sheriff begzan firing. At the fourtn shot Gordon surrendered. He was not hit by any of the bullets; but two of them went through his clothes. #YAN TO-NIGHT. All Arrangements Completed for a Kat- tling Contest. SYRACUSE, N.
