Everything one could ask for has been provided, and I want to express my thanks to THE CALL for its unparalleied generosity.” Lieatenant Ccchrane declared that Tug CaLy bad exceeded every promise it ma e in regard to outfitting the officers of the Bear. ‘it bhas astonisbed all” ne said, “10 see what we have been provided with. Novone thing has béen overlooke!. We are all exceedingly grateful to THE CaLy for what it has done.” Surgeon Call, who has made many trips to the Arctic, and will act as the Associ- ated Press correspondent, expressed him- self in terms of highest praise for Tue CaLy's efforts to a1d the expedition. *“No | newspaper doing what Tu { CaLL | proper | even though it be but temporarily betier food nor clothing,” said he, “was ever sent aboard a ship, and there i~ suffi- cient of the former 1o last every man aboard the ship and all the ce-bound whalers a year. Tnat Tae CALn should supply all this alone is surprising, and is oneof the most praiseworthy acts ever per- formed.”’ Lieutenant Camden, the Examiner cor- respondent for the trip, is one of the most outspoken of the officers aboara the Bear in his praise of THE CaLL. ‘‘When the Arctic outfit THE CALL provided me with was delivered,” said he, *‘I found 1t com- plete 1n every detail, from the silk under- wear and hose to the furs, And THE CALL did not stop there. A fine library has been provided by Tue CaLrL, and even our mess has been abundantly stocked for the irip. Not a sug-estion has been made by any officer of the ship that has not been zcted upon by THE CALL, and I am pleased to say, although I am engaged by another paper for this expedition, that we will leave vort equipped to the smallest detail. “We nave several musicians on board, and several days ago I suggested that some It was new sic would be acceptable.

No other paper would ao wha: THE CALL has done.” Chief Engineer Speer said: *I arrived here yesterday under orders to report for duty on the cutter Grant only to find that I was togo outon the Bear. I was at a loss what to do for proper clothing, for the time was too Limited for me to make preparations. lmagine my sur- vrise, therefore, upon coming on board the Bear 1o find a most complete outfit, from furs to silk underwear and silk face- | covering. Iam indebted to THE CALL for {this splendid gift and can but leebly ex- | press my appreciation of its unexampled generosity to myself and brother officers. If we succeed in rescuing the unfortunate whaling crews THE CALL wiil reap its re- ward in the knowledge ihat it has had a leading hand in the periormance of one of the most humane acts ever recorded.” First Assistant Engineer Wood, THE Cavry's photographer, said: “To TuE CaLL alone are the ice-bound whaling crews and their wives, sisters and mothers at home |indebied for the expedition that is about to start to the:r relief. It not oniy aroused the Government 1o & sense of iis duty in endeavoring to save these poor fellows, but it has equippad the relief party more completely, I think, than any similar party has ever been equipped. THE CaLL is certainly deserviag of tuethanks of ail tne people for its unselfish work in behalf of the whaling men.”’ Lieutenant Berry, one of THE CaALL'S corps of correspondents, was positive in his belief that no other newspaper had | ever gone the iengths THE CALL has in the interest of humanity. ‘‘Money has | been used without stint to make this ex- pedition a success, and the people will not forget soon that it was solely due to THE| CaLL's powerful influencs that the expe- dition was started. Iam an officer in tke Revenue Marine, but I have a feellng of pride that I am identified with THE CaLL, Afier the rescue and care of the whalers, my first thought will be to give THE CALL the first news of ibe expedition and its re- sults. Assistant Engineer Spencer: “Too much credit cannot be given Tue CALL for its connection with thisexpedition. It not only induced the Government to act in the matier, but it has fitted out the ship and officers in a lavish manner. We will show our appreciaiion of THE CALL by performinz our mission to the letter if it is possible for man to reach the men we go to succor.” Assistant Surgeon Woodruffs, who was especially provided by THE CALL for the expedition, expresses his belief that no Arctic expedition has ever gone out as completely equipped as the present one. He said: “Ime CALL deserves special thanks for securing from army headquar- ters the medical and surgical chests for use on this expedition. They are ihe most complete and compact I ever saw. They can be easily transvorled on sleds, and when wereach the whalers we will have every facility at hand for rendering the very best aid to those who may be in need of a surgeon’s services.”’ “THE CALL“ OUTFIT FOR THE RESCUERS Thne foliowing is a complete list of the bills paid by the management of THE CALL for the outfit furnished to.the Bear Relief Expedition: IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Picking, commanding the re- ceiving-ship Wabash, has filed charges against Chaplain M. M. Goodwin, who is attached to the Wabash, and there is reason (o believe that he will be court- martialed. Captain Picking’s report, I understand, charged Chaplain Goodwin with having been guilty of alcoholism, overstaying Lis leave, etc. Secretary Long told me this afternoon that in ac- cordance with the navy regulation he had referred the charges to Chaplain Goodwin for explanation, and upon re- ceipt of that officer’s statement he would determine whether or not to institute fur ther proceedines. The fiiine of charges again<t a naval chaplain is an extremely rare occurrerce, ana cflicials regret that any member of that corps should have committed any offense requiring such action. Chapiain Goodwin, who hason v been in the service since March 19, 1504, has borne a good record. He was appointed from I'hnois by President Cicveland an: performed a tour of sea service on the eruiser Colum- bia, assum ag duiy on the Wabash last summer when that vessel was placed in reserve.

Sixty Quarts Intended for Shooting a Gas Well Flay Havoc in the hight. CHESTERFIELD, Ind., Nov. 26 —An explosion of nitro-glycerine occurred bals a mile west of this city at 9:10 o’clock last night. Sixiy quarts of nitro-glycerine were hauled there for the purpose of shoot- ing a gas weil to-day. The explosive was placed in a large zinc tub located at the end of asteam exhaust-pipe, for the pur- pose of thawing out the mixture. It is the theory that the tub became over- heuted, causing an explosion, with disas- trous results. A hole ten feet long and several feet deep was torn in the earih. The engine was blown o pieces. Drillers Haney and McGuire had a nar- row escape. They were stand ng within thirty feet of the scenie of the accident and were hurled twenty feet by the fo:ca of the explosion, but with the exception of a few bruises tney escaped unhurt, Persons one miie away were lifted irom their fe t by the concussion, and the jar was percepioly feit for ten miles. Fire followed the explosion, but the flames wer quickly extinsuished. IJENTIFIED BY THEIR AOQSES. So the California Heirs Will Get Their Share of the Andrew Kipp Estate. NEW YORK No —At Kingston to- day former Senator Linson, as referee, decided the celebrated Kipp case in favor oi the California heirs. Anarew Kipp died ‘niestate in Suugerties a few vears ago, leaving an estate of $30,000. William E Kipp of that place, a b other, declared he was the only heir ana was appointed ad- ministrator.

It was said that James ran away from home when a boy. was not heard of again by his reiatives until his children appearcd. James was murdered in Los Angeies i 6 by a drunken man whose wi'e he was protecting. Had it not been for the characieristic peculiar to all male members of the Kipp family, each being sed ot a nose which attracts atten- ! it is doubtful if the identity of James could have been established. The nose, however, convinced the referee. 15 SAVED BY A METAL CROGIFX Miss Mary Campbell Slashed by a Mysterious Woman. But the Knife cf the Assallant Strikes the Crucif x and Bends It Double. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. BOSTON, Nov. —A metal crucifix aved the life of Miss;Mary Campbell from the attack of » mysterious veiled woman assassin to-night. There was a ring at the doorbell at the residence of Theo Duplisse, 37 Eleaner street, Chelsea, to- nignt. Miss Campbell answered the sum- mons. A tall woman dressed from head 10 foct and Leavily veiled stocd on the step. *‘Is your name Campbell?” she asked. Receiving an aflirmative reply, sne turned away without a word. A half hour laer there was another ring. Again Miss Camnobell answered. Againthe mys- erious visitor stood at the door. Again she repeated her guestion, but this time insiead of departing peaceably as s e hzd before the woman raied both arms, threw chloride of lime into Miss Campbell’s eyes, and with the other hand slashed fiercely at her throat with a lone, keeh kaife. Then without a word she ran away. Her veil had not been lifted. Her identity is a profound mystery. Miss Campbell is ignorant of an enemy in the world. An examination discovered that a strong metal crucifix which hung about ber neck had been bent double by the blow, but had turned aside the knife and saved her hife. e aSe R GENERAL CLAY FURIOUS. 7 hreatens to Kill His Wife’s Brother If He Does Not /ccept Money and Leave the Country. NEW YORK, Nov. 26 —A svecial to the Herald from Valley View, Kv., says: The separation of Dora Richarason Clay from her aged hu-band, General Uassius Clay, took u sensational turn to-day, when the general sent William Richardson, his wife’s brother, word that he would give him $500 to leave the country, and if he would not accept the offer he would kill him. He believes Richardson is trving to prevent Dora from returning to White- hall, and he insinuates that Richardson hes assisted in robbing him of his wife. He is furiously mad at his neighbor, Charles Haden, for building Richardson a cottage on his place. General Clay says R chardson has been installed 1n this house -0 that ke can keep watch over the movements of Dora, and if possible pre- vent her from returning home.

His Quarters Sharad by a Crazy Prisoner Awalting Trial for Robbery. Spectal Dispatch to THe CALL. SANTA CRUZ Nov. 26 —A pecaliar death occurred in the County Jail early this morning. The Coroner’s jury this afternoon was obliged to tring in a ver- dict of suicide borne out by the evidence, but a thsory of foul play was developed in the minds of some of the jurors and led to much discussion before tne final agree- ment. Dr. H. H. Clark, the Coroner, de- clared that from a medical point of view suicide was hardly probable, bu: possible, since the circumstances so strongly pointed that way. | On Wednesday F. Lauk, an Austrian 49 years old, was brought down from | Boulder Creek 1o serve a five days’ sen- tence for drunkenness and disorlerly con- duct. He was suffering from a mild case of tremens and had to be tightly bound in order to prevent his escape. When placed in jail, however, he not only was quiet, but even apathetic and avoided the rest of the prisoners. Yesterday evening Daniel Hartman of Boulder Creek caliel in to see him. Lauk was more cheerful than he had been be- fore and expressed his inten ion of going to his mine in Trinity County as soon as released. He left him apparently hope- ful and even cheeriul. Shortly after the departure of his vis- itor Lauk complained of feeling ill, and soon began to groan and complain of drunkard’s cramps in his ctomach. At 2 o'clock this morning he ceased complain- ing and for the rest of the night remained perfectly quiet, At 5 o’clock this morn- ing Deputy Sherifft Enoch Alzina went | into the prison. T. e first person he saw was Lauk, ly ug on his cot face downward | and arms outstretched, apparently sleep- | ing. Near hira Taylor, the crazy man who stole some mai! pouches in Watson- ville a short time ngo. wus siceping un- easily. Alzina gove orders not to awaken Lauk unii breakfist 1ime bLecause of his bad nigh. 6:30 Lauk was called to | breakfast. When he did not respond | Jailer Giece went to him and found him cold in death. The Coroner was notified and the body removed to nndertaking pariors. Whnen the jury was sworn an examination of the body was made. A part oia bathing-towel, which had been used asa disbragin the | prison, was jound tightly crammed down | Lauk’s throat, while around his neck a | blua bandana had been bound twice and tightly tied, with the knot resting exactiy on his larynx. Death ha resulted from | strangulat and when found he must | have been dead for many hours. The theory ¢t suicide was at once ad- vanced, and in supportof this it was found | that the deceased had once before at- tempted suicide by forcing a steel wire up | his nostril. Furthermore, the jailer, who hat slept with only a thin partition sep- aratine him from Lauk, bad heard nonoise during the nizht, and there were no signs of disturbance in the corridor where the prisoner siept. But the peculiar mode of death, together with the attitude of the dead man when found and his apparent cheerfulness a few hours before, led some of the jurors to incline toward the theory of murder. A thorouzh investigation will be made. PLACER COUNTY RANCHER HISSING Disappearance of A. K. Mal- lett From His Home Near Loomis. Left With Ax in Hand to Chop Wood and Has Not Since Been Saen.

Carter, a prominent young lawyer of this city, thinks he has struck some hing better than the law business right under his own house. It is astrong ouicropping of o1, which has come to the surface in a half- dozen places with such evident abundance that oil men are greatly excited and pre- dict that a new oil district will be opened in that vicinity. But the resicents of the vicinity are not at all pleased. The oil indications are in the center of the aristocratic Florence Heights, the choice residence portion of the city. All who have seen the havoc wrouzht in the pleasant suburbs of Los Angeles by the greasy, foul-smelling wells and the ugly derricks are hoping Carter will stick to his Blackstone ana not go | peering under ground. But Carter is un- derstood to have made arrangements with experts for immediately sinking wells on his lot, the experts to have a share in the flow, if any is found. The first indications of oil in that neigh- borhood were noticed about four yearsago | in laying tue foundation for a house. Thouzh on a hillside, no foundation coula be ‘ound, the timbers sinking into a soft muck and threatening to topple the house over. Itis only in the last few days that the oil has come to thesurface in sufficient quantity to invite investigation, Tne resson for this sudden outburst of underground forces 1s unknown, except for the theory that recent slight earih- quake shocks have openet up subterra- nean seams and permitted the pil to rise.
