2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1897. the steamer E iza Anderson’s passengers have been landed at St. Michael. She brings the story that Father Bar- num, who has conducted a mission for many years past at St. Michael, is author- ity for the statement that a channel not yet known to navigators exists at the mouth of the Yukon River. He states that itis close tothe south side and will permit ocean steamers to enter and pro- ceed up the river for a distance of 500 miles. The diflicaity has always been 10 cross the bar. the water bevond that being of sutlicient denth for a considerable dis- tance to aliow large vesse!s 10 steam throush. This winter Col ector of Cus- toms Anders and Captain Peterson, mas- ter of one of the Alaska Commercial Com- pany’s river boats, will explore and en- deavor to establish the new channel. In view of the great inconvenience and loss oi time in transferring from large vessels which anchor two or three miles out in the stream, the discovery of a new channel wou!d prove ot incalculable bene- fit. It is the opinicn of the prospectors and commercial company employes now at St. Michael that the Government should suivey the mouth of the Yukon. Tunere were on board 102 long-enduring prospectors, who were transferred jhere trom the Anderson, which left Seattle early in August. For a second time their lives were placed in jeopardy. The schooner started north on September 7, and when but twenty miies out had the unusu«l and dangerous experience of an encounter with a whale about eighty feet long. She came up tospout and was so close to the schooner that the end of her tail which struck the side, neariy overturnea the vessel. Captain Johnson states that this was :he narrowest from going to the bottom of the sea thatv either he or his schooner ever had. The Baranoff reached St. Michael on the 171h and sail d again four days later. Two duvs previous the schooners Bering Sea and Fisher Bros. had sailed for Puget The schooners Novelty and Garfield, both of San Francisco, were still in port. Captain Johnson says that the day after he reached St. Michael the forty or fifty passengers who went north on the Holyoke and who were of the Eliza An- derson party, launched a newly con- stracted lighter. It is 24x60 feel, upon which a house to contain sixty bunks is being erected, as is also a frame covered with sails. The stcamer Merwine is to take the balance of the Anderson party. It is being ied with outtits and provisions, But a difficulty has arisen in that the entire facilities of both steamerand lighter are not suificient to accommodate the freight requirement. Considerable dis- satisfaction exists among the passengers, each one of whom insists that he be given the best bunk and that all his supplies be taken on board. However, itis not pre- sumed that much progress can be made up the river, #s the steamer draws four feet of water. The pas-er.gers have taken charge of all arrangemeats, and their leaders are Will Moody of Evansvilie (Ind.) and Thomas G. Culver of St. Louis. The Holyoke wiil be used this iallas a lighter by the North American Commer- cial Company. Captain Peterson does not have any idea that the Humboldt party on the Seattle No. 1 will get very far up the river. The Mare Island, which has on board the North Fork passengers, made three attempts to get up the river, but in each instance had to put back. She coulun’t keep up stream, as somethbing is wrong with Ler condenser. The last time she started with thirty pounds, but ran down 1o sixteen. The engineer of the Corwin rendered as- sistance, and it was thought that she might proceed on Ler way. The passen- gers entered into negotiations witn Cap- tain Johnson to carry fifty of them to the Covper River. He consented to charier tue Baranoff for $3000, but would only courent 10 take them to the cannery, about twenty miles from the mouth of th~ river. At the canne:y there are flats and sballow water; butthe men couldn’t raise the reqnired sum, so determined to try to ascend the Yukon. W. A. STEEL. —_— Tons of Provisions. VICTOKIA, B.

Russell, civil engineers of San Francisco, will leave here on the City of Seattle Friday, to make a survey of the country between Fort Selkirk on the Yukon ana Chilcet on the coast, to ascertain whether the route is a practic- able one for a railway.

She Is Credited With Having Won $200,000 on the Race. St. Cloud I, Ridden by Tod Sloan, Not Among the First Three Horses, Special Dispatch to THE CALL. LONDON, Exg., Oct. 13 —Mr. Jersey's (Mrs. Langtry’s) Merman won the Czaro- witch siakes at Newmarket to-day. The Czarowitch is a handicap of 25 sovereigns each, with 500 added, for three-year-clis and upward. The course is two miles, two furlongs and thirty-five ydrds. Mr. Dobell’s Tne Rush was second and J. T. Dugdale's Carlton Grange third. Merman is a five-year-oid which was sired by Grand Fianeur, out of Seaweed, and was bred in Australia. He came to England last year. It is believed that Mrs, Langtry won something like $200,00. The fine weather and the open charac- ter of the race brought out an unusu- ally large crowd. The race stands and inclosures were crowded with members of the aristocracy and prominent people. The Earl and Couniess Cadogan, Lord and Lagy Turgan, Lord and Lady Rothschild, Sir Arthur Sullivan and all the regular racing peers were present. By a curious coincidence it was Mrs. Langtry’s birthday and it was the first occasion of her readmission to the jockey club 1inclosure, through the influence of the Prince of Wales. During the race a bevy of her admirers hoisted Mrs. Langtry on a bigk bench in the club stand, from which she waiched the course with anx- ious eyes, When her victory was annourced she descended with the greatest aciity and almost ran to the birdcage, where she waited to lead the winner back. She was overwhelmed and aimost smothered with congratulations, while the stable-boys, with whom she is exceedingly popular, made the welkin ring. The final stages of the race created in- tense excitement. The createst praise is awarded 1o Jockey Sharpes for bis judg- ment and clever handling of Merman againsg the experienced Charles Wood on The Rush. The Sporting Life will say to- morrow : erman was larzely backed by Ans- tralian sportsmen. It 1s feared that a good deal of money has been lost over Keenan, wko ran badly. St. Cloud II stowed a gocd pace, but he appears more fitied for a mile than two miles.” victory is most popular an{ her winnings are estimated at from £20,000 to £40,000. Wilson, the previous owner of Merman, describes him as ‘'a regular butido: to battle out a finish.”’ The victory is ascribed to the animal's splendid training by Webb. Two American horses, August Bel- mont’s_Keenan and J. R. Krene's St Cioud I1; one French horse, Count de Berieux's Friolera, and horse, Prince Soitykoff’s South Australian, were among the starters. Tod Sloan, itne American jockey, who rode St. Cloud II, made his debut on the Enclish turf in a minor race yesterday. His riding has been severely critic szed, the Pall Mall Gazette, forinstance, saying “‘Sloan did not shine in the contest, for his mouat took him ali over the course.” PRALEN PLEsDS FOR LUETGERT. for the Defense in Celebrated Case. CHICAGO, IiL, Oct. 13 —The entire day in the Luetgert trial was taken up by Attorney Phalen, who spoke for the de- fense. He made an impassioned plea for his client, accused the police of intimidat- ing the witne:ses for the defense and de- nounced many of those who had appeared for the State as perjurers. He declared that the chain of circumstantial evidence, on which Assistant Siate’s Attorney Mc- Ewan bad dwelt at so great leng:h dur- ing his address to the jury, was not a chain of circumstantial evidence at all, but a fragmentary collection of distorted facte. He found flaws without number in the story furnished by the State, ana declared that no jury composed of sensi- ble men would for a moment think of re- turning a verdict of guiliy on such evi- dence. the SLAIN BY COLOMBIAN BRIGANDS.

Y., Oct. 13 —A special to the Herald irom Washingion says Torpedo boats of the United States navy hereafter will wear coats of bottle green hue. Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn, under instructions from Secretary Long, to-day ordered the :unerintending con- siructor at the Norfolk Navy-yard to paint the vessels of the torpedo-boat flotilla now on their way to New York. “Bottle green 1s a color that will aid tor- pedo-boats materialiy in deceiving an enemy.’’ said Mr. Hichborn to-day. *“The torpedo-boat is designed to keep as 1o the enemy as po sible and then mal sudden dash and discharge her torpedo. The less visible <he 1s, therefore, the beiter her chances for success. Afier ex- haustive experiments made with the tors pedo-boat Cushing it has been determined that boitie green is the best color.

Sensational Testimony Given by the Leader of the Gang of Brigands. LONDON, E Oct. 13.—The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Mail, describ- inz the proceedings at the trial of 200 brigands and receivers of stolen property, now in progress at Tschaischak in Servia, which have already revealed systematic plundering of members of the Liberal party at tue instigation of the Radicals, vrominent among whom is Deputy Taj- siten, a well-known member of the Assem- bly, says: he leader of the brizands, named Brkitsch, testitied that he kiiled a scbool- master name . Backovitch, who was alsoa | political writer, at the instigation of the | deputy. He d - posed that the latter prom- ised to assist nim to e:cape into Monte- negro, where, accordinz to the deputy, Prince Nicholas, who also desired the death of Buackoviteh, was to reward him. “Deputy Tajsitch then sounded Brkitsch | as to thie pos«ability of assassinating King | Alexander of Servia. When this staze of the proceedings was reached, the brigand | leader suddeniy stopped his disclosures and declared that his previous tesiimony was false; tut this retraction is said to be due to a bribe from D :puty Tajsitch.” SELECTING A JURY 0 TRY DAN DUTCHER Case Against the Slayer Schofield Called at fan Jose. of First Day’s Proceedings Result In the Accapting of but Four Talesmen. Specia! Dispatch to THE CALL | SAN JOSE, CaL, Oct. 13.—The selecting of a jury to try Dan Dutcher for the murder of George W. Schotield on August 7 began in Judge Lorigan’s court this morning. The courtrovm was crowded all day. ‘When the case was called this morning Mrs. Schofield, who is also implicated, was present in court. District Attorney Herrington announced that Dutcher's trial would ve taken up first. Bailiff Gardner was about to take Mrs. Schotield back to jail when Attorney Scheller, who represents the defendants, otjcted, and she was allowed to remain until noon. Mrs, Dutcher's father sst bes'de him. Clark Johnson and Lena Schofield, da ters of the murdered man, were be District Attorney Herring:on, and took a deep interest in the proceedings. Attorrey Scheller askod the Judge to have Mr. Schofield brought into court this afternoon, claiming she had a right @8 a witness to bs present, but the court retused to do so. An objaction was made to the Sheriff summoninyg a special venire of talesmen for the case on the ground that he was prejudiced, and the order was is«ueda to Coroner Secord.

Reason for Her Refusal to Feopen Her Mints for the Coinage of Silver. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 13.—A special to the Herald from London says: It is learned from a trustworthy source that the answer which the Indian Government has forwarded to the British Cabine: de- ciining to reopen its mints under an agreement with France and the United States is causing considerable difficulty in English Government circles. A majority of the Cabinet is disinclined to vverride the opinion of its Indian ad- | visers on a question which principaily affects India, but several members of the Cabinet feel that the Government is too far committed to the policy of an inter- national settlement of the currency ques- tion to withdraw, At the present moment it is impossible to foretell the outcome of the difference of opinion, but the res:gnation of at least two influential Cabinet Ministers is not improbabie. Meanwhile, it is interesting to know that the refusal of India is based on her objection to the ratio of 15! to 1. Indian statesmen foresce the greatest difficulties arising ont of a sudden jump in price of silver to 604, which, it is f ared, woula revelutionize comme:cial relations and lead to the ruin of many merchants eneaged in trace with Asia. On a basis more nearly corresponding with the present price of silver—for in- stance, on a basis of 151{d per rupee—that is to =ay, 421 per ounce for eiiver, as the standard—India would immediately open her mints. Perhaps the Enclish Cabinet will try to negotiate on such lines before finally rejecting Senator Wolcotv's pro- posals. s W.LL STAND BY GENERAL TRACY. Administration Support for ths Re- publican Candidate for Mayor of New York. CHJCAGO, IrL. Oct. 13.—A Washing- ton special to the Inter Ocean says: The Administration will stand by the Repub- lican mayoralty ticket in New York. Becretary Bliss has decided that he cannot remain silent in such a contest and the President has np desire that h: shouid. The President cannot openly take a bhana in the municipal contest, but he recog- nizes that this i a fight for continued con- trol of the greatest city ia America and bis sympathies are entirely with General Tracy. Secretary Bliss, as a New Yorkor, is the spokesman of the admini-tration in this matter, and the Secretary has written aletter to General Tracy indorsing his nomination and his position in the con- test. He will aiso do all in hi« power 10 help the regular Republican organization in New York, and his attitnde will com- mit the adminisiration. This_ is done with the entire #pp oval of the President. —_— Death of @ San Mateo dupervicor. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Oct. 13.—J. J. Brown, a Supervisor o!

Princeton and Pennsylvania Score Victories Against kival Foot- ball £levens. PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 13.—For ten minutes of the first half of the game be- tween the Tigers and the Pennsylvania State College on tne varsity gridiron this afternoon every indication pointed to a repetition of last year's game with La- fayette, when Princeton could not score. The men from Central Pennsylvania were giants when compared with the varsity in height and weight and played splendidly for ten minutes, twice nearly making touchdowns on fumbles by the Tigers | and downing the varsity backs time and | again with no gains. But the Tigers’ su- perior training told, and after the first ten minutes Princeton was able to acore. The varsity team work was poor, and lumbling was frequent, Princeton’s touchdowns were secnred br Wheeler, Bannard, Sut- ter and Mvers and the game ended with a score of 34 :00. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 13.—The University of Peunsylvania aefeated the | University of Virginia football team to- day in two balves of 25 and 20 minutes each, by the score ot 42 to0.

NOT THE MURDERER OF THE McGLINCYS Sheriff Lyndon Certain That the Wrong Man Has Been Arrested. | ] | | His Opinion Concerning the Rosario Suspact Coincided Ia by Chlef Lses. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN JOSE, CAr., Oct. 13.—Shenff Lyn- don and Lis deputies do not think the Dunbam suspect under arrest at Rosario, Mexico, is the right maun. This opinion is al:o expressed by almost every one who sees the pictures. There is a slight re- semblance to Dunham, and the descrip- tion fits him pretty well, still those who knew the fugilive intimately say itis not be. [Ibe suspect, who. goes by the name of Jack Granvilie, is now serving a thirty- day sentence for drunkenness at Rosario. Distriet Attorney Herrington thinks the 1is Dunbaw, but Sheniif Lyndon will uot send a man 1o Mexico to identify the suspect unless so ordered by the Board of Bupervisors. Shenff Lvndon sent the pinhead photo- eraphs received from Rosario, Mex.co, of the man held there ou -uspiciun of being the San Jose murderer, Dunham, 1o Chief Lees yesterday, with the request that the Chiel express his opinion as to whether they resembled Dunham. The Chief had ihe photos enlarged, and after closely comparing them with those of Dunham he came tc¢ the conclusion that the officials in Rosario had the wrong man. There 1s scarcely a point of resemblance in the features of the two men. Dun- ham’s head is almost oblong in shape, whereas the suspect’s is round. The strongest dissimilarity is in the chin and suape of the nose. The Chief sent a copy of the eniar-ed photograpn of the suspect to Sueriff Lyndon yesterday afterneon and giving bis conclusions, et EFVIDENCE OF MUKDER.

NcKENNA DENIES A FALSE RUMOR No Conspiracy to Sac- rifice the Union Pacific. Says the Road Will Be Soid to the Highest Responsi- ble Bidder. Orders Guaranteed Blds to Prevent Disastrous Loss to the Government, Special Dispatch t0 THE CALL. CHICAGO, ILn, Oct. 13.—A special to the Journal from Washington says: The prospective sale of tbe Union Pacific road to the reorzanization committee and the practical certainty that the property will be knocked down to a New York syndi- cate of bankers composing the commitiee has started a report that a conspiracy has teen formed to rob the Government and tbat the road is to be sacrificed to a ¢'ique of multi-millionaires in accordance with a secret and wicked understanding reached between Mark Hanna, as chairman of the Republican National mittee, and bankers who subscribed a large portion of the McKinley campaign fund. “The best answer to the story is the fact | that the sale has not yet taken place and that the whole world is at liberty to bid against the reorganization committee,” is the reply given by Attorney-General McKenna. Attorney-General McKenna admits that as yet he has received no other bid for the property, aithough he snys he has received | inquiries from London, which lead him to believe that other syndicaies are form- ing. . “The reorganization committee has in no way been shown the slig test favor or given the least advantage,” said the Attorney-General. “The road will be sold to the highest responsible bidder, without any relerence to his personality. A ,uaranteed bid was ordered obtained to prevent the possibility of a disastrous loss.” MIRES NOT AN OUTLAW. Ukiah Officials Release the Man Ar- rested as a Stage-fobber Suspect.

Mires was employed on a farm near Gey- serville at the time of the robbery. C. B. Mires, who was arrested for com- plicity in the stage robbery between Ukiah and Boonvil.e, arrived in San Fran- cisco last evening. He said that ve hed been given no opportunity by the officers here to prove his innocence, as they re- fused to allow him to see his friends or to communicate with those who couid prove an ahbi for him. Mires says that he has never been in prisor, and the statement of one of the San Quentin officials that he had teen an inmate of that institution he denounced as faise. Mires feels that his treatment while un- der arrest was not ounly unjust, but it addea to his huniiliation by giving the impression that he wasa hardened crim- inal. ———— Killed in ihs Ring.
