THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1897, QUELLING THE NATIVE REVOLT The Mohammedans Are Badly Punished and Beg for Mercy. Their Valley Swept Clear of1 Fighting Men by General Jeffreys. Tribesmen Must Surrender Thelr Arms In Order to Save the Villages. SIMLA, Ixpra, Sept. 20.—The operations | against the Mahmounds continue to be | the center ot interest. The latest dis-| pa iches from General Jeffreys report that he advanced again on Sunday morning from Camp Mayate to attack the enemy west of the valley. The chiefs came to parley, but were informed that they could not be heard until all arms haa been surrendered. A remarkable feature is the accuracy of | the enemy’s fire. Lieutenant Crawford was killed at a range of 1000 yards. The tribesmen show courage and astounding rapidity moving over the rocks.

Dra — - AND BIMETALLISM. | i} FRANCE Why 1hat Country Proposed the Free Coinage of dilver. LONDON, ExG., Sept. 20.—The Times, in a special artice dealing with the causes | which led France to propose the free coin- i age of silver, says that the French | Embassador proposed 15} to 1 as| the ratio at which France would | oven her mints and then proceeds to re- view the bimetallic movement in France. It points out that in| spite of protection the price of wheat continued to fall in France il M. M=line in 1895, in view of the im- mense agricultural vote, chacged front and decided that as protection had failed and a high price for wheat was necessary bimetallism must be tried. The Times continues: ‘At the confer- | ence in May, in the presence of M. Loubet and of M. Magnin, he (M. Meline) said to | Senator Wolcott: “Oar support will | not be wanting.” It must be said then that what the Times hinted is absolutely correct. Politics is at the | tottom of all this. 1t is stated in the city that France is not serious and that me: Governor of the bank is aware of this. Do | not let us be too sure in questioning the statements and avowals of the leading French statesmen; for we shall be neither | courteous nor prudent in doing so, and | may even be mistaken in the facts in the : case. S REGARDED a8 HOPELESS. | Tne 1hunderer Despairs of a General Arbitration Treatu. * LONDON, Exa., Bept. 20.—The Times this morning says: The statementof the American press that the State Depart- ment at Wash:ngton and the British Em- bassador have received instructions to re- open nczouauons for a general treaty of! arbitration is at least premature. It is probable that the negotiations, ; which have never been broken off, may be | resumed next month when Sir Julian Pauncefote returns to his post; but it is difficult to see how a trea'y of any practi- | cal value can be concluded so long as the Senate maintains the hostile and obstruc- tive attitude it displayed when it last dis- «sed the question. m{ .rcg(;lmangunceIole will return to his post in time for the conference of the spe- cial Bering Sea Commi-sion, 1o be held at | the end of October or the-beginning of | November.

It Says a Good Voyage Is Being Made and That All Are Well Evelyn C. Baldwin Declares That the Daring Doctor’s Balloon Voyage Is Successful. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, Sept. 20.— Adispatch from Hammerfest, the north- ernmost town of Evrope, in Norway, savs | that the whaling ship Falk has brought there the third pigeon dispatch from Pro- fes<or Andree, who left the isiana of Spitzbergen in a baloon on July 11in an atlempt ito cross the polar regions. The message read “July 13, 12:30 p. ., latitude 82 deg. 2 min. north, longitude 12 deg. 5 min. east. Good voyage eastward. All well.” NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 20.—Evelyn C. Baldwin, the meteorologist of the Peary expedition of 1893-94, was inter- viewed to-day by the Associated Press re- garding the latest pigeon dispatch from Andree. Baldwin said: “This message indicates that Andree has safely crossed the 150 miles or so of open water which extends from the north coast of Spitzbergen to the beginning of the pack ice. Itis evi- dent toat the loss of three guide ropes, which occurred on -the day Andree started, had not prevented him from guiding the balloon. If the extreme cold | caused any percentible change in the gas, such action would have taken place before Andree wrote his last message, and if the cold had done the work so much feared, Andree would not have said, ‘Ail well.” It issignificant to note that An- dree was going easterly, the direction he intended to take, This is a straw which helps to verify his reported safe reappear- ance in Arctic Russia. “‘Doubtful scientists declared before An- dree left that he would be unable to dete: ruine his exact location from the balloon. The tenths of degrees given 1n his mes- sage prove that Andree was not only able to ascertain his whereabouts, but did so with remarkable accuracy. “The first three days were looked upon as being the most perilous and importaut of the entire journey. Andree’s ability to successfully ‘withstand the initial diffi- culties augurs better than the ordinary lay mind would imagine for the culmina- tion of his daring project.”’ SAVED THE STEAMER ETHELGOND. After Overcoming Many Obstacles a Most Remarkable Wrecking Ven- ture Was Successful. BOSTON, Mass.,, Sept. 20.—A private cablegram received by the Boston Tow- toat Company to-day from St. Lucia an- nounced the floating last Saturday of the British steamer Ethelgonda from the bed | of rocks near Micoud, where she has re- posed since last June. Thus ends one of the most ex ensive as well as one of the most remarkable wrecking ventures ever undertaken. Last May there sailed from Bue! Ayres, Argentine, the steel steamer Ethe! gonda, a vessel of about 2100 tons, with a valuable cargo of wool consigned to brokers in this city. The Ethelgonda headed for Port Castries, on the island of 8t. Lucia, to replenish ber coal bunk- ers. It was while endeavoring to make this port that she met with disaster, which the investigation subsequently hala showed to be due to the wrong course given by Captain Winder, the commander majority of whom rushed out into the | tory which Samory nad offered to | of the vessel. streets. evacuate.

CHICAGO, Irn, Sept. 20.—Clarence | Russell Chetwynd, son of a retired banker | of London, England, has mysteriously | disappeared in Chicago, together with | $2500, and the London ana New York | police have asked a Chicago detective burean to aid in solving the mystery. According to information in the hands | of the police young Chetwynd left London a year ago and located in New York. He was a spendthrift, and as he had a large income was a favorite among the music hall actresses. 1T'wo years ago he left New | | York city for Chicago, after receiving a draft for $2500, and that was the last heard | of him. Before leaving New York he ca- bled his parents that his Chicaco address would be the Auditorium Annex. When Chetwynd left New York he wasaccompa- nied by a woman whose name is supposed | to have been Maud Bancroft, a former | chorus girl. The father of the young man has cabled the police to spare no expense in their efforts to clear upthe mystery | | and find the whereabouts of his son. He | is supposed to have fallen a victim of | thugs. — MEET AT A FLAG aTATION. Two Irains Collide, Completely Wreck- ing Their Locomotives.

Both locomotives were completely wrecked; the bageage car of the Rock I-land train was badly shattered ana sev- | eral of the stock cars were wrecked, but no one was killed. two miles west of | jump Engineer J. W. Scarff of Kansae City, Kans., who was on the stock train, is seriously hurt, and Engineer Charles Goodall of Chicago, who was on the Rock Island traia, is slightly injured. The Rock Island postal clerks were consider- ably shaken up and one woman passen- ger was cut by falling glass. The uninjured coaches of the passenger train were pulled back to Kansas City and the stockcars back to Topeka, and both will be dispatched over the Santa Fe tracks. The wreck was caused by the Rock Island trainmen ignoring orders to pass the stock train at Muncie. P BELLAMY A VrKY SICK MAN, The Famous Awthor Is on a Health- Seeking Towr. CHICAGO, IrL, Sept. 20. — Edward Bellamy, author of *‘Looking Backward’ and “‘Equality,” is a very sick man. The famous writer, with bis wife, children and brother, were in Chicago to-day, en route to Colorado, where it is hoped relief will be found for his disease, which appears to be fast developing irto con- sumption. Owing to his excessive Jabor on his latest success, ‘‘Equality,’”” and the | close confinementi necessitatea thereby, Bellamy has become almosi a physical | wreck. Friends of the family call it bronchial trouble,; but tie emaciated appearance of the man, who was scarcely able to stand unassisted as he continued his journey last night, indicates that the dread disease has taken deeper root. S Teller supports Hayt. ENVER, Coro., Sept. 20.—Senator Teller to-day wrote a letter to Chairman James H. Blood of the Arapahoe County Committee of the Silver Republican party in which he announced his intention of supporting Judge Cnarles D.

The Senator says that Judge Hayt accepted the nomination by the administration party, but in view of Judge Hayt's plain statement of his posi- tion, as well as his record on the silver questionh he will support him. attios g Fought Six Tume Hounds.
