If this rate keeps up the official €ount will show a clear plurality for Mayor Taggart of 5000. On the Repub- lican ticket six Councilmen-at-large are elected by from 3500 to 4000. Of the ward Councilmen the Republicans will elect probably not more than four out of fi- teen. Mayor Taggart was deluged with tele- grams to-night from all over the country. He is freely spoken of as the next Demo- cratic candidate for Governor. He was elected on a silver platform. CHAT TANOOGA Texx., Oct. 12.—The municipal election to-day resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Republican ticket. Co'onel Ed Watkins (D.), was elected by 995 majority. Colonel Watkins isa leading lawyer and promoter, and the canvass, being versonal, atteste his popularity among the people. The Dem- ocrats elected six out of eight Aldermen. This city is normally Republican by from 400 to 500, and the overwhelming reversal of the conditions is due to the apathy of the Republican voters and the disaffection of the nezroes. There was a very light vote, only 3500 being cast. - CONCLAVE OF THE MASOAS. Mesting of the Grand Chapter, Relief and Veteran Associations and a Grand Council Election. BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 12 —The open- ing exercises of tte third triennial and also the centennial conclave of the Gen- eral Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of the United States, was held tbis morn- ing at the temple on North Charles street.

In view of these circumstances the United States had confidently expected that Great Britain would take part in the conference and thet Russia and Japan would be repre- | sented with the approval of Great Britain. Besides the foregoing reply, and in view f the differences which have arisen, the State Department suggests a conference | dance with the terms of Lord Sal- agreement, as he construes it, 29, namely, between experts of Great Britain, the United State: d Canada. This last feature is no nsideratioa by the British Government, its substance having b-en transmitted by cable, but it is not expected that a Mr. Sherman’, London.

Portland Prospector Sends Specimens From a Rich Gold Ledge. PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 12.—J. C. King of this city has received some remarkably rich specimens of quartz from his brother, W. C. King, who is now on Stewart River, Alaska. Mr. King said to-day: “My brother shipped down 400 pounds of ore taken from his claim on Stewart River, and had it sent to the Selby smelter at San Francisco. It shows 731 25 in gold, 247 ounces in silver, 20 per cent lead and 114 per cent copper to the ton. The ledge is about nine feet in width. “My brother also writes that there is any amount of guartz in that region, but most of it is low-grade free milling ore. | The base ores are the rich onmes. The richer ledge is nine feet across.

Owing to the Yellow Fever Scare Shotgun Quarantine Is Maintained. BUT THE PLAGUE IS OF A MILD TYPE. Two Deaths From the Dread Dls- ease and Thirty-Five New Cases at New Orleans. special Dispatch to THE CALL AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 12.—The most serious situation now confronting the peo- ple of Texas is the almost compvlete blockading of travel, owing to the yellow fever scare. Many trains on all the prin- cipal lines have been abandoned and local lines have stoppsd running entirely. Both divisions of the Houston anu Texas Central and the Southern Pacific are tied up most effectuaily to-night, not a single wheel moving, save in the extreme north- ern portion of the State. Every small town in the State 1s rapidly organizing shotgun quarantines, so trains cannot stop except at the big cities. The situation in the entire State is highly panicky, and the feeling is one of grow- ing alarm and apprehension. By to- morrow night, unless the situation is soon relieved, the great southern and cen- tral portion of the State will be practi- cally without any railroad facilities, as all trains will be stopped. GALVESTON, Tex., Oct, 12.—The situa- tion in Galveston at this hour is hopeful. Itisagreed that the fever isofa mild type. Yesterday there were sixty cabin passen- gers booked to leave on the New York sieamer this morning, that being the only way to get out of thecity. Thirty of these canceled their engagements and did not go. The Board of Health issued an ad- dress to-day declaring the disease to be of a light type and stating that eleven cases have been reported, all told, and that these eleven are either recovered or con- valescent. The ftirst mail since Saturday night arrived to-day—three tons of it. The principal lines are bringing freight into Galveston and being allowed to re- turn tneir boxcarsnorth. Free communi- cation was established between Houston and Galveston to-day. Dr. Guiteras has not been heresince his return from Hous- ton last night. He went out to the State quarantine station at the entrence of the harbor and spent the night. It was decided by the Board of Health to-day to be unnecessary to close the schools. Dr. H. Health M A. West of the Board of this afternoon reported lsador a fisherman, aged 46, living at second sireet and avenue P, as lute case nf yellow fever. TON, Tex, Oct. 12.—The city woke up this morning to find itself in quarantine by the declaration of the State Heaith Officer, Sweariugen, basea on the statement of Guiteras that four cases of yellow fever existed here. The public schools were not opened, and this fact created some alarm. Few trains left town and all were well filled. The cases have been promptly isolated. The city beaith officer to-day carefully investigated several cases called to his attention by physicians, but pronounced all of them denguve. All four cases are isolated, but no new ones were found. No trains are running now except one beiween here and Galveston. NEW ORLEANS, LA., Oct. 12.—The fever situation grew no worse here to-day, but at the same time there is no rift yet showing throuch the clouds, and the promise is not bright for an 1mmediate re- opening of the avenues of industry. Daylight had hardly come this morning before two deatbs had been announced, but no other iatalities had gone down on the books when nignt fell. The cases to- day are, as usual, widely scattered and have increased somewhat the total num- ber of cases under treatment, but at the same time there have been a large num- ber of cases discharged to-day and the death percentage has suffered a fail. - official bulletin to-night shows thirty-five new cases and the following deatns: Josepn Colette, Allen Giles. Tnere_has been for some time a general impression that the fever was confined solely 10 the houses of the poor, bu! nas iikewise found its way into the houses of the rich, and there were handsome man- sions to-day on Jackson avenue and other fine residence thoroughfares, from which the ugly red and yellow flags hung, Of the new cases included in the bulletin to- night those of Mrs. Hunter C. Leake, wife of the general agent of the Illinois Cen- tral Railway: James R. Anderson, a prominent agent representing ; and of Mrs. Eakmn, wife of the superintendent of the Standard Oil Company, are said to be of a somewhat mild type. These are the most prominent cases reported to-day. MOBILE, Ara., Oct. 12—There were many new ca-es ot yellow fever broucht to light in the past twenty-four hours. No dea:hs have occurred in the past forty-eight hours. There are three more cases reported on the steamer Kate, lying at Magaz ne Point, three miles above the city. A hospital will be established there and the ship disinfected. The fever is making greatest progress along the center of the residence portion of the city in the Broaa street and the Spring Hill avenue districts, but still it is not at the ratio noted at the beginning of the outbreak, while the virulence of the disease has not notably increased. Death of a Homan Pioneer. SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Oct. 12— Mrs. H. H. Wentling, who had been a resident here the past thirty vears, died suddenly to-day from dropsy of the heart. With ber parents she crossed the plains in 1853 to Nevada. Subsequentiy her family removed to Santa Rosa. In 1867 she came to Santa Barbara.

C., Oct. 12— The Post will to-morrow announce in positive terms that Associate Justice Field will retire from the Supreme Court bench be- fore the expiration of the year. This pre- diction has been often printed, and itis like the story of the boy and the wolf— nobody believes it. But the managing editor of the Post said to THE CALL correspondent to-night that his information was reliable. Justice Field was on the banch yester- day when court convened for the October term. His advanced age was very notice- able in both his speech and his walk. His seat was vacant to-day. Several important cases involving grave constitu- tional questions were continued until next January, and it is believed that this was done by the court which had knowledge of Mr. IMield’s intention to retire before that time. ASSISTANT PAYMASTER EDWIN B. WEBSTER, Who Sceks Promotion Notwithstanding His Unsavory Record in the Navy. ing the records on file there prior to for- warding the necessary data to the Presi- dent in the matter of the promotion of Assistant Paymaster Edwin B. Webster to the rank of full paymaster in the United States navy. It will be remembered that a little over a year ago Webster was tried by court- martial at the Mare Island Navy-yard for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman on account of his obtaining the sum of $2500 from Mrs. Tobin of Vallejo at the time Webster appointed her son, William J. Tobin, a payclerk in the navy on board the United States steamer Yorktown. The court-martial recommended the dis- missal of Webster from the service, but Secretary of the Navy Herbert allowed him to remain in the service provided he repaid Mrs. Tobin the money which she loaned to him. Mrs. Tobin and her son, it seems, are both dead, but the executors of the estate and the surviving relatives lately have teft nothing undone to ac- quaint the Secretary of the Navy with the present status of the case. Nearly a year has elapsed since the de- cision of Herbert was annoanced, and Webster has failed to pay any of the debt he owes. He has been acting as paymas- ter ot the United States steamer Castine. To add to his troubles his wife, who has been traveling in Europe for the past two years, a few months ago commenced an action for divorce, alleging as the cause, *“non-support.” The dismissal from the navy of John Corwinne at Newvort for embezzlement last July made a vacancy in the paymas- ter list, which was filled by the promotion of Willis B. Wilcox of the Monadnock, and the retirement last month of Caspar Schenck left another vacancy, which will be filled by the promotion of Webster or his immediate successor. A few days ago President McKinley dis- missed a lieutenant from the army on account of his failure to pay hack bor- rowed money. What will be done in Webster’s case is problematical, but if he gets a promotion with all the disgraceful past hanging over his record it will sur- prise some of the President’s friends. DROWNED IN THE SAN JUAQUIN, William A. Douglass of San Francisco Loses His Life. STOCKTON, Can, Oct. 12.—William A. Douglass, secretary of the Old River Land Reclamation Company, was drowned in the San Jeaquin River, near Bethany, in the western part of this county, last evening. He fell into the river while try- ing to make a barge fast to the bank. He was swept away by the current before as- sistance could reach him. The body was recovered and taken to Byron, Contra Costa County, where an inquest was held this morning by the Contra Costa Coroner. The remains will be sent to Bnd-ancileo, where the deceased re- side In fact, it is common gossip among Mr. Field's associates that he will retire before the vear is out. They look for his resig- nation any day. 1t is still the general impression that McKenna will succeed him. NO TROUBLE IN THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE False Report of a Dispute Over the Division of Gate Receipts. Sacramento Managers Hint That the Report Had a Yellow Origin. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Oct. 12.—The an- nouncement in to-day's Stockton Inde- pendent that trouble was brewing in the California Baseball League over a misun- derstanding in regard to the adjustment of finances between the managers after Sunday’s game, has certainly been made through the mistake or misinformation of some one. The Sacramento managers disclaim any knowledge of such an erup- tion, declare that no ground for a dispute of any kind exists, and are inclined to credit the report to some one interestea in the old Examiner tournament and bent upon injuring the bright prospects of the new league. It would certainly be very unfortunate at this time to have any such a quarrel take place. The baseball public is just drawing a breath of relief over the tinal set tlement of the Examiner tournament affair, and if it is now to witness another disgusting scramble for gate receipts, the baseball managers might as well hang up their teams for the balance of the ye; The people are crying ‘“play baseball”’; they want baseball; they will pay for it, but if they see that the sport is to be sub- served to the speculation of grasping managers, they will again refuse to offer encouragement or contribute to its pros- perity.

Gliasen was accidentally killed this morn- ing at Douglas City, seven miles from here, while driving two spirited horses. One of the lines dropped from his hands and fell between the horses. With the other line he attempted to run the ani- mals into a bank, but insiead they went over a grade, throwing Gliasen into some willow bushes. A twig entered his eye and another pierced tfio body near the abdomen, cutting a blood vessel and caus- ing hisdeath. He was a native of Nor- way, aged 58. He leaves a widow. TRACING LINKS N THE CHAIN Lawyer McEwan Dilates on Evidence Against Luetgert. Circumstances That Plainly indicate the Guilt of the Sausage-Maker. Dramatic Language of the Prose- cutor, Who Demands the Life of the Accused. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGO, Irn, Oct. 12 —Assistant State’s Attorney McEwan finished his argument in the Luetgert trial to-day, and Attorney Poalen will make the opening address for the defense to-morrow. Mr. McEwan consumed the entire day with bis argument and went over the case care- fully, connecting the details of evidence for tne jury and showing how one circum- stance fitted into another, and how the whole mass of evidence submitted by the State furnished, in his opinion, a full and complete circumstantial chain, proving that Luetgert had murdered his wife in order that his relations with his servant girl, Mary Siemmering, might remain un- disturbed. Throughout the entire argument Luet- gert listened to the attorney who was asking for his life with the greatest at- tention, He never took hiseyesoff Mr. McEwan for more than an instant, and the heavy scowl that is habitual with him deepened as the Assistant State’s Attor- aey pointed out circumstance after cir- cumstance that weighed against his inno- cence. Itis now practically certain that all of the arguments will be finished so that the case will be given to the jury by Saturday night at the latest. McEwan took up the subject of sesa- moids, and this soon brought him to a consideration of the evidence of Dr. H. Aliport, chief osteological expert for the defense. Rarely is a witness handled with the biting sarcasm and scornful de- nunciation that were heaped upon this celebrated expert. ‘‘He came upon the witness-stand with all the arrogance and self-assurance of a bully,” shouted the attorney, “and left it as meek and lowly as any being who ever entered the building. He exposed to the medical profession in open court his ignorance and made himseif the laughing | stock of experts the world over.” Tue mistakes Dr. Allport is alleged to bave made in identifying different bones were enumerated, discussed and ridiculed in the most cutting manner at the speaker's command. “And this is the man whom the defense asks you to be- lieve with reference to the identification of the bones placed before you in evidence in this case,’’ observed McEwan. During the afternoon session of court McEwan devoted a counsiderable portion of his time to the gold rings found in the middie vat in Lentgert’s factory. he styled “the indestructible and shining evidence of guilt.”” The purest metal known to man, he said, had come forih from that vat untar- nished to fasten upon the guilty person the responsibility for one of the most heinous and cruel crimes modern times has produced. Then the attorney shifted to the evidence of the bone experts and dissected it care- fully, pointing out what he considered the weaknesses aud inconsistencies in the sto- ries and identifications made by each. Then he reviewed the circumsiances in the case from the date of Mrs. Luetgert’s disappearance up to the present date. Each development was recalled and fitted together in a logical nanner. The speaker suddenly reached the de- scriptive climax by exclaiming: “There, gentlemen of the jury, you have the com- plete ioundation and structure of this case. The chain of facts is connected. The links naturally coil around this de- fendant and fix his guilt as plainly and as 1indisputably as it is possible to fix guilt.”’ W. | This | ONDER THE BAN OF EDUCATORS “Les Miserables” Not | Proper Reading for | People. Guardians of PhiladelphiaHigh School Object to Hugo’s Masterpiece, The Book Deals With Subjects That Should Not Be Read by Youths, | They Say. | Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 12.—A special to the Herald from Philadelphia says: *Les Miserables,” Victor Hugo's master- piece, has come under the ban of educa- tional conservatism. The committee of the Board of Education of the girls’ high school declared against it vesterday after- noon when Principal William D. Roorer vresented to the committee & list of text- books required for the school, containing the book in French. Chairman Thomas G. Morton deciared he must object to *‘Les Miserables.”” He had read it, he said, and regarded it as decidedly improper to put into the hands of the girls in the high school. He proposed that it be stricken from the list. Mrs. Mary E. Mumford, the only woman member of the committee, was the only defender ot Hugo’'s immortal work, but ber solitary protest was speedily over- ruled. She said it had doubtless been recommended as beinz typical of the highest classical French literature. Chairman Morton thus expressed his views: *“My objection is to the tone of the book. It deals, as any one who has read it knows, with the grisettes of France. That in itself is condemnatory. I think that we who have charge of the public schools have a sacred trust, and we cannot be too cautious in setting before the young girls and boys that which detracts from their ideals of virtue and purity. Their parents hold us responsible, and we owe a duty to them and to the girls. If the book is in a library, that is a different thing, for the child’s parents are supposed to keep an eye over what she reads, but to require pupils to read a tainted book is wrong. I would object to any classic, even some of Shakespeare’s works, if they are immoral.” HOT THE REAL DUNHAM. | Sheriff Lyndon Doubts That the Minos-del-Tajo Suspsct Is the Fugitive. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 12.—Sheriff Lyn- don to-day received photographs and a full description of the man recently ar- rested at Minos-del-Tajo, a mine near Ro- | sario, Mex:co, on suspicion of being James | C.

While drunk he spoke of Dunham and mentioned the | fact that he was from California. This | aroused suspicion, and W. A.

Sheriff Lyndon was then informed, and the request was made of Governor Budd to have the Mex- ican Government arrest the man.
