No Quarters and No Landing-' Place for Them at Cop- per River, [ | | The Outlook for the Men Who Have ‘ Gone and Are Going Is Not Encouraging. There is more trouble among the miners bound for Copper River. When the La | Ninfa was fitting out there was almost a riot among the prospectors, and some of the promoters of the scheme would have fared badiy had not some of the cooler hands taken control of things. Now there is an outbreak on the steamser Alice Blanchard, and it will culminate to-day unless something is done to appease the exasperated gold-seekers, The Blanchard was chartered by some Los Angeles people and arrived bere from San Diego with about sixty miner aboard. About twenty more had engaged passage here, and about the same num- ber are to be picked up at Seattle. Ac- cording to the story told by the men, the promoters of the scheme agreed to land them at the mouth of the Copper River, give them the use of a large cannery bui z for the winter and a year’s sup- plies. When the steamer reacbed San Francisco the miners found out that the nearest they could get to the mouth of the river in the Blanchard was Orca sta- | tion, thirty miles away; that tbe wharf, landing, cannery and sawmill at the sta- tion were owned by the Pacific Steam Whaling Company and no use could be made of any of them without a quid pro quo. The men held 2 meeting on the steamer yesterdsy and sent a commitiee to make inquiries at the office of the whaling com- paiy, and on their return reported the above facts. It was also learned that the promoters had asked the rate of wharfage ior the Bienchard at Orca station. rom this the miners have got it into their nead | that the captain oI tne steamer wiil land them in Alaska and leave them there to shift for thems The Bianchard isat jo-sireet wuzrf and there wiil be some times on her before matiers are ened out. lturns out as expected there will zin the vicinity A company of int.eyear from of Copp r R ver this yen prospectors weut up earl Los Angeles,"about fifty went on the m sieamer from Sitka, ihe L; infa ana W, S.

Walcoit is owned by the Pacific Whaling Company, and Captain imphrey is going up on her to look out for the company’s interesis at Orca sta- tion. All the miners will have to build small flat-botiomed boats at the station, as the only way in which the river can be navigated is by poling a small punt up the stream. Captain Humphrey gives the following advice to those who are going to tempt their fortune on Copper River: “On no account take a rifie; take a suote gun, you will want it .0 hunt game. Leave the £q s alone and the Indians will share their last meal with you. The squaws make it their boast that they can always captivate a white man. If they do you will never escape. They will drag vou down to their level, and once a squaw man always a squaw man.”’ | _Ben Powe C. E. Bowen and R. A.

A decision in regard to the liability of | railroads for freight they agree to trans- | port was banded down by the Supreme Court yesterday. The Colfax Mountain Fruit Company shipped a carload of fresh fruit, consigned to New York by way of | the Soutuern Pacific. The railroad com- | pany, according to the bill of lading, was | to ship the fruit by fast passenger-train service. Their line only took the fruit to Ogden, where it was transferred to the Union Pacific, and on some of the lines | between that point and New York there | wasadelay. The fruit reached its desti- | nation three days late and was found to be camaged by decay on its arrival. The | fruit company brought suit against the | Southern Pacific in the Superior Court of | Piacer County and was awarded dam- | ages. | ‘An appeal was taken to the Supreme | Court by the Southern Pacific. The rail- | road claimed that it had fulfilled its con- | tract by transporting the fruit to the end | of its line according to acreement, and | set forth that it was not liable for dam- | ages sustained on the other roads. | The Supreme Court yesterday sffirmed | the judgment of the lower court on the | grounds that the Southern Pacific had | contracted to forward the fruit “o its place of destination’” and not mereiy to Ozden. In carrying the freight from Og- aen to New York the Union Pacific and | connecting roads acted merely us ageats for the Southern Pucific, which was the original party to the contract and there- tore liable, In the consideration of the case the dis- tinction between the woras ‘“‘carry’ and “forward’’ came up for decision. The contract for transporting the fruit con- tained the word *forward” three times. | The court held that as in the first part of | the contract *‘forward” meant the carry- ing of tue fruit from Colfax to Ogden, the word should be construed 1o mean “carry” throughout the instrument. | - | NCERTS ASSURED. | A Larger Committee Will Now Arouse Public Intercst.

The committee of merchants who have lisbiug a steamer line between this city and Portland in hand | met yesterday morning in the San Fran- cisco Board of Trade rooms. Tae meet- ing wos private and nothing beyond a ion took place except that Cnairman Watkins handed in his list of the eighteen men he bad concinded to name as canvassers for subscriptions to the undertak ng. fied immediately of the appointments made and asked to meet with the commit tee at another meeting to be held Mon- day afternoon. In case they all agree to serve the list wiil at that time be given forth for publication. : The talk of a compromise is now being mooted among the merchants. As was told yesterday in an exclusive article in | Tue Cann the steamship companies are now growing more pacific in the matter. In fact it was admitted by Captain Good- all that the rates had been raised at the solicitation and that San Francisce merchants should have been given a hearing in the matter. But a compromise is not plain sailing by any means. W. E. Wheeler of Hol- brook, Merrill & Stetson is of theovinion that such a thing is not to be considered for a moment, while A. Watkins of W. W. Montague & Co. takes the opposite horn of the dilemina. “Four years ago a similar movement was on foot,”” sai! Mr. Wheeler, “and a compromise was effected in that instance. By acompromise I mean that the com- pany came forward and satisfactorily ad- justed their rates. but the conditions are constantly changing, sna the rates adjusted under a high transcontinental tariff cannot serve suitably under a low one. As hss been said before, this is a case of salvation with us. restricted :o the Sacramento and San Joaauin valleys for trade, or can we reach out and take tbat which by geographical conditions rightfully belong to us? We do not want the trade of New Orleans, but we do want the right.” Mr. Watkins believes that if a compro- mise can be effected it will be for the best, as he thinks there is nothing for anybody in fighting. But at the same time he keeps right on in his work of making committees, and seems inclined to think tuat in case of a compromise the only wiy to gzet favorable terms is to be well armed. Freight Acent Connors of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company now makes wnat on its face looks like a bluff. He is willing ior the merchants to take bis ownline and run it under certain con- dition “Instead of getting other steamers,”” he szid vesierday, “I'll tell you what the merchants can do. They can take our steamers, give us a -ubsidy or guarantee us agiinst lo s and run things to suit themselves. How’s that for a proposi- tion?” Neither does br. Connors believe that the merchants of this city are discrim- inated against in any particular. This is what he has to say about it: 1 cannot see how San Francisco is discrimi- nated against, anyhow. II our markets have been filled with stocks ai such low rates as has been said aud as is undoubtedly the fact the San Francisco merchant has a big advan- tage over the men of Portland, ior to ail points north of Pendieton on our lincs the rate from an Francisco is the same as from Portland, pins only 5 cents a hundred pounds in carioad lots and 715 cents in less than carload lots. To points on tne line south of Pendleton tne rates are the same from san Francisco as from Port- land, plus 8 cents in carload lots and 10 cents otherwise. This extracharge inciudes marine insurance for the iull value of the goods to Poriland, and thefe is no cuarge for drayage such as Portiand must pay. 1do notsee how tue San Francisco merchants expect 1o go into Portland and teke away the local Portland KXEW TO-DAY!

Joseph A. Harrington, historical and re- ligious painter, has on his easel a painting almost finished representing Vasco Nunez de Balboa taking possession of the Pacific Ocean in the names of the august majes- ties of Castile and Aragon. The composition is excellent, the figures animated and fall of movement and the coloring brilliant and harmonious. Bal- boa stands knec deep in the green water, with the standard of Sp held aloft in his left hand, while in bis ht his sword 1s upliited as he formally challenges any knight in Christendom to dispute his| claim. | On a sandy beach is a group of monks and warriors, the latter with bared blades sustaining the defiance of their gal- lant leader. One of the two Dominican padres kneels on the wet sand, while the other, stanaing, invokes a benediction on the Spanish flag. The picture abounds in strong contrasts between the gayly hued costumes of the soldiers, the more soberly clad and dusky skinned Indians, the blue sky and the green water, The armor, costumes, etc., are historic- | ally correct and the picture is a strong | one. | A s el MRS.

Judge Belcher Sustains the Demurrer of Sunnyside Land Managers. Judye Belcher yesterday sustained the de- murrer that was inteposed by Attorney Peix- ottoin the case of James Geragthy against James P. Avery and E. Avery McCarthy, formerly connected with the Sunnyside Land Company. In his compiaint, which was drawn by his attorney, Byron Waters, Geragthy al- legez that when he came to San Francisco some years sgo he was “of a confiding nature, simple-minded and unsccustomed to the wiles of designing men, and that he became an easy victim to the designs of the defend- ants.” He asserts that by complying with their schemes he was deprived of beiween | $2000 and §3000, partly on account of invest- men s made for him by the defendants, while they were aciing as Teal esiale agents, and partly by untrue and mislcading stalements. He, thereiore, asks to recover $2500. The | court is of opinion that two causes of action nave thus been improperiy joined and has al. lowed ten days in which the plaintiff may amend his complaint. e e .

The Crime Alleged to Have Been Committed in the Wrong Township. Both Men Immediately Rearrested on | an Amended Complaint and Will Be Prosecuted. Several weeks ago the Tavern of Castle Crag, Shasta County, narrowly escaped destruction by a forest fire, which did con- siderable damage elsewhere. Jasper Gal- pin and Lee Butcher, settlers who made their living by hunting game and chop- ping wood, were suspected and indcted by the United States Grand Jury. Butcher aud Galpin were tried jointly yesterdav beforea jury in the United States District Court 1n this city, but owing toa blunder of the surveyor employsd to lo- cate the scene of the firs by sections, town- ships and ranges, it was alleged in the complaint that the fire started in a certain township in range 4 west, whereas the evi- dence showed that it was in range 3 west. The jury accordingly acquitted tne pris- oners, but the latter were rearrested be- fore they leit the courtroom on a new complaint in which the locality is prop- erly de-cribed. g & The case is of more than ordinary inter- est because it is the first one on record prcsecuted under a statnte approved by the President February 24, 1897. It reads as follows: That any person who shali willfully or maiiciousiy seton fire or cause o be seton fire any timber, underbrush or grass upon the public_domain, or shall carelessly or neeii- gently leave or suffer fire to burn unattended near any timber orotier inflammable material suall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, und n conviction thereof in any District Court of the United States having jurisdiction of the same shall be fined in & sum not more than $5000 than two years, or both. Sec. 2. Taatany person who shall build a campfire or other fire in or near any forest, timber or other inflammable muaterial upon the public domain shall before breaking camp or lesving said fire totally extinguish the same. Ary person failing to do so shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in any District Court of the United States having jurisdiction of the same shall be fined in & sum notmore than $1000, or shail be imprisoncd jor a term of not mere than one year, or both. The fines go to the public school fund of the county in which the offense is com- mitted. Batcher was defended by Lennon & Hawkins and Galpin was defended by Humphreys & Morrow. The testimcny was to the effect that the prisoners had been hunting deer and that in order to cet a better view of their game they had been in the habit of burning the brush. It was alleged tuat on one of those oc- | casions the fire got away and swept through the pine timber, causing many thousands of dollars’ damage. Tne dis- covery that the complaint had iocated the fire in the wrong range of townships brouglt the proceedings to an end, a dis- missal being asked for by the defense and not opposed by tha prosecution. A TRUSTED ~ OFFICIAL HONESTY AND TRUSTFULNESS REWARDED. S. E. Brees of Orange Had an Experl- ence Rec 'ntly Which Is Intensely Yuteresting—An Example for Others. From the Lake Review, Osakis, Minn. The following sccount of a tarmer's remark- | able experience was recently told & reporter by S. E. Brees, one of the oldest settlers and most prominent farmersof the town of Orange, Douglas County, Minn. Mr. Brees is Town Clerk of his township, baving held this posi- tion of honor and trust for several years, and is & gentieman of mgh standing in h munity, and of unimpeachable integrity and honesiy. This experience of Mr. Brees is cer- tainly interesiing, and following is the story 8s told to the renorter by Mr. Brees: “In August, 1891, as I was on my Iast day’s drive with the harvest team with which I had cut nearly 200 acres of grain, I suddenly be- came faint and wesk. It scemed as if all my muscles had relaxed. Every move or exer- tion was made with an effort. Irode home ana rested a number of days, but did not obtain | much relief. The top of my head had a pe- caliar feeling. I could not rest orsleep, It went on this way until I was completely ex- hausted. In fact I was nearly crazy. Those faint sinking speils would come at any time, | whether Iwas sitting, walking or in bed, and when so affected I had to be placed on the bed or any place to give me rest. My feet woula also become cold. This feeling would last usually about haif an hour. Both of my arms would frequeatly be numb. “I had the grip previous to this and it left me with a severe cough, and aiso & dull pain about the region of the heart. I consnlted a rominent physician and took his medicines or about 1wo months. Some relief was ob- tained, but when 1stopped- taking the medi- cine the old symptoms returned. The phy- sician pronounced my trouble a difficnlty of the heart arisiag from the after effect of the grip. My fami y were alarmed about me, aud for two years they would not let me 2o away alone for fear I would never get home alive, 1 finally consulted another physicien. He told me the same a8 the first, but thought he could help me. I took his medicine six months, and ior a while obtained cousiderable benefit, but the old symptoms returned and I as bad as ever. nd son finally begeed of me to 1didn’t believe that there was any help for me. But oneday my son came home with a box of the pills and said: ‘There, father, a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People; you had better try them.’ I began taking them, and before one box was gome I felt 1ike another man. I feit cheerful and easy, as my herd was clear and seemed to be rested. The pein had all left my heart, I could walk as spry es ever. 1 feltso chearful that while out in the ysrd I whistled and sang to myselt. My children began to laugh and I heard them say, ‘Mamma, father is whistling.’ 1didn’t wonder they laughed, as they hadn’t heard me whistle or sing for two years. I continued taking tbe pills and I kept on improving. “I have taken nearly five boxes, and for the past two years my health has beensteadiiy improving, and now I am able to do consider- able work, both in winter and summer.
