THE SAN Il gold fields reached the whalers in the | frozen north soon after tie rush began. | Dozens of the whalers deserted and | started across country in the hopes of | reaching the El Dorado. Many of them were frozen to death; some of them suc- ceeded in getting back to their ships, | while a few have never been heard of ce. For all the men on the Thrasher know they may have reached the goid | fields. Itis to be hoped that the next ar- | rival from the frozen mnorth will bring reassuring news, for what with the stories of shortness of supp'ies on the Yukon and a similar state of affairs on the frozen-in whalers the outloox is not very bright, GAGE'S CUKRENCY FLAN. Proposes to Place the Country Un- equivocally Upon a Gold | Basis. i NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary of the Treasury Gage read to the President | and Cabine: to-day the recommenaations | as to financial legislation wnich he will | make to Congress in his annual report. Seeretary Gage proposes to strike right | at the root of a!l the difficulties that em- barrassed the treasury by recommending | that the country be put unequiyocally upon a geld basis and the treasu:y be taken out of tne banking business. The keynote of the Secretary’s theme is | the refunding of the present bonded debt of the country in gold vonds bearing 23 | per cent interest. | He believes bonds which declare on | their face that they are payable, principal and interest, in gold can easily e soid at thatrate. As most of the present bonded debt bears interest at 4 and 5 per cent, the annual saving in interest by refunding wouid be about §17,000,000. This would more than pa the $260,000,000 additional ¢ per cent gold bouds which would have to be issued fo carry out the second feature | of the Secre:s s vplan, which retirement of all outstanding greenba and Sherman notes, so as to leave no notes whatever outstanding which could be used 1o drain the treasury of gold. With the retirement of Sherman notes Government would be left with si ver on in the Treasury vau.ts purchased under the Sherman law at a cost of | $104,000,000. { Tais could either be sold at the merket | price T c adually be coined into | erdoliar amount of $125,000,000. retirement of greenbacks and € Lreasury notes, Secretary Gage will propose a plan for increasing the national bank circula- ticn much above its p He will propose t. lowed to issue notes up to the par value the Government bonds deposited by | them, and he believes that practically ail | of the additional bonds to be 1ssued 10 re- | ure the Government notes would be ab- | sorbed by the banks as a basis for circu- | lation.

Attorney Scheller Closes His Appeal for a Verdict of Acquittal. Schofleld’s Daughter Weeps Whan Her Fath:r’'s Character Is Assalled, Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN JOSE, Oct. 26.—When Attorney V. A. Scheller resumed his argument for the defense in the Dutcher trial to-day | the same large crow. of spectators that has thronged Judge Lorigan’s courtroom since the cpening of the case was present, When he attacked the character of Scho- | field, Mrs., Ciark Johnson, a dangater of the deceased, wept bitterly and had to b» led from the room. Attorney Scheller went over the testi- mony of each witness. He dwelt on the long-continued brutality of Schofield and Lis tnreats to kill his wife. He told of the time when Schofield’s daughter, with a babe in her arm:, stepped between the muzzie of a shotgun her father had vointed at Mrs. 8chofield ana saved the life. He argued that Dutcher would wot hsve be=n here a defendant now but for the bravery of this young woman, for he held that Schofield at that time would have shot his wife but for his daughter’s act. Attorney Scheller ridiculed the ideas advanced by the prosecution in regard to Mre. Schofiela’s conduct in remaining with her husbznd. He claimed that she did what any goodi woman would do in thus staying with her husband, the father of her cuildren. He said Mrs. Schofield was to be commended for her conduct, for with all his abuse he wasyet the father of her babes, and she stayed with him and suffered his cruelty and tried to advance his interest in the sircegle of hife. In regard to Datcher, Scheiler had much to say. He held that the boy had been in tne family but a shert time and did not know the relations between hus- band ani wife. Naturally he would be surprised at the sialement of Schotfield on the return from Watsonville, when bhe said he would “kil the wh ontfit” when he got bomeif they didn’tdo as he desired avout tie ranch. Not being aware of the strained relations between ihe coupie and seeing ScLofield’s cruelty afrer he returned it was natural for the de- fendant to fear for Mrs. Schofie!d’s life and his own, It was this that prompted Duicber 1o kill Schofield to protec: bim- self and Mrs. Schofield. tchelier claimed | the ceiendant fired in self-defense, and asked the jury to acqnit him.

Sent to San for Thelr Eighteen Rir g =aders Diego to Be Tried Crimes. Special Dispatch to THE CALL YUMA, Oct 26, — That another battle eclipsing in bloodshed and loss of life that which oceurred at Mammoth Tank yester- day vetween Yuma County officers and 260 striking Mexican laborers did not oceur to-day was due solely to the bravery and coolness of the posseand its leaders which left last night for the scere of trouble. By skiliful meneuvering the Mexican were surprised at daybresk and, though 200 trong, they were compelied to yield to Sheriff Greenleal. “Surrender yourselves and congregate in yonder clear spot,” they were ordered through a Spanish interypreter. Only the apparent bravery and determ- inution of the posse kept the Mexicans from charging with knives,ciubs and what firearms they possessed. Had they done so the damage 10 the ranks of the strikers would have been dreadful and the posse must also have sustained some losses. It is thought that the mutinous foreign- ers have now been quelied, with the excep- ion of a band of from 50 to 100 who es- caped from the station directly aiter the battle of yesterday. 1:i is suppo-ed that they are encamped in the mountains northeast of Mammoth Tank. If so a rnumber of men who are badly wanted are with them and will be exceedingiy diffi- | cult to get, as the place in wuaich they | are located is admirably fitted for defense. Eighteen men identified as the ring- leaders in yesterday’s fight were taken to San Diego to-day, where they will have several crimes to answer for. The special train, aivancing last night with the posse, picked up Al Muir, a conductor, and a Yaqui Indian, both of whom had fled from | the camp on account of threats of thc cut- throats to assassinate them. Pickets | posted this side of Mammoth Tank about three miles captured une of the worst of the sirikers, and he was one of the eight- een taken to San Diego. WATER COMPANIES AT WAR. Suit for the Possession of the Sup- ply From a Fork of Kings River. FRESNO, Oct. 26.—Another fight is on between irrigation companies for posses- sion of the water flowing in Kings River. The trial of the suit of the Stinson Canal Company against the Crescent Company | was begun in Judge Risley’s d-partment of the Superior Court to-day, =nd it will probabiy continue three or four days. Both the compani perate s the southern part of the county, e are contending for the water that runsin what is known as the Lower North Fork of Kings River. Itis oneol the numerous streams into wh ch the river divides as it approaches Tulare Lake. The Stinson or- gamzation aileges that the defendant company has unlawfully built a dam s:x miles above the point where it (the Stin- son) has been diverting its water and pre- vented the water irom flowing down the channel. The Crescent company dammned the stream in order to divert Water for its canals. In its answer the defendant cor- poration sets forth that it bhad a prior right to the water in guestion. The plzintiff asks tor $10.000 damages and the abatement of the obstruction of the wat-r course.

Cars Hurled Into the Hudson by an Explosion Caused by Robbers. Evidently the Engineer Had Seen Danger, for He Had Closed the Throttle. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Only less starts ling than the dreadful news of the disaster on the New York Ceatral road at Garri« sons, where twenty lives were lost and many scores wounued, was the statement made by Chauncey M. Depew to-night that the sc-cailed accident wasno accident at all, but the direct result of malignant crime. “It was no landslide,” said Dr. Depew, after the experts had examired the loco- motive dragged by ponderous derricks from its bed of mud. “It wasno sloughing off of a bit of rotten roadved that cau-ed the ierrible calamity. It was the direct result of an explosion of dynamite, placed on the track solely to send the train to destruction and its inmates to sudden death.” Coming with the weight of President Depew’s name and reputation, this state- ment will be received with respect and most thoroughly investigated. Dr. Depew gives it as & positive assertion which can be backed by evidence. When the engine was brought up the throttle was found closed, indicating that the engineer had seen danger ahead and tried to siop. “Itis very singular,’ Dr. Depew said, “‘but I am informed by cne of our detec. tives, that Chief Humphreys has already received positive information tending to make zood my assertion, backed by phy- sical evidence. This break was made by dynamite. He is working hard on the in- formacion given and I am assured he is on the road to information which wili throw a great deal of light on the subject. That the road ha< been blown up is cer- tain, and our detectives have definite, pos- itive clews to work on.’’ In this connection it is worthy of res membrance that the express-car of the ill+ fated train had $400,000 werth of money and jeweis in its sale. There was a ru- morinat a iarge part ot this treasure was gold trom the Kiondike on its way to the treasury vaults in Lins city. It this be true it is possible that some Western desperado had hatched out a vlan of robbery after wrecking tne train. But toey chose a poor spot and did not reckon on the riv.r, in which the express- car floaied down 10 safety. Eight men have since guarded the car, four by day and jour by night, and the officials of the American Express Company declare that no rovbery was commiited. SR TWO BOSIES FROM THE WRECK. In All Twenty Lives Were Lost in the Nsw York Central Disaster on the Kudson. GARRISONS, N. Y., Oct. 26.—Twenty lives are now known to have been lost in Sunday’s accident on the New York Cen- tral road, and eighteen bodies have been found. The body of an unknown man was recovered to-day, as well asthat of the fireman. The day coach of the iil-fated train was raised to-iay and in it was tound a victim not hitherto included in the list of dead. The engine was al-o brought to the surface and with it the body of Fireman John Q Tompkins, tightly wedged between two masses of iron. Shbortly after 3 o’clock the large derrick brought up the day coach from the bottom of the river. When the waler had drained out of the car those watching the opera- tion saw at one of the windows a human hand and just beyond the feet sticking out from under one of the seat-tops. The wreckers tore aside the debris and soon had the body out. No more bodies were found. 4 Another interesting event of the day was the raising of the express-car, from whiclrit was allezed thata large sum of money had been lost by the dropping to the river bottom of a small sale. General Superintendent Van Valkenberg of the American Express Company, was present when the car came to the surface, and it was seen that it was the most badly dam- aged of any tnat had yet been taken up. As soon as possib'e the car was searched by inventory and then Mr. Van Valken- berg gave out this statement: *“None of the vaiuables in the car are lost. T'he big dynamite-proof safe was intact and fas- tened to the wall in its proper place. The small safe, which it was thought might have dropped out of the broken car, was found in a corner, and the only thing of value known to be missing is a small package of jewelry.” GILROY'S NEW ORPHANAGE. 0dd Fellows’ Home for Children Will Be Dedicated by the Order To-Day.
