Mr. Marvin has stated to the War Depart- ment that the route is still clear; that through the dense northern forests there is a trail 150 feet broad, afford- ing y passage for draft animals, and that the feasibility of the route in winter shown by the fact that for many ars it has been traversed by numerous prospectors, while the absence of heavy grades insures the capacity of animals to carry large loads.

Murder of a Chinese ‘ Storekeeper. i | | | No Hitch to Mar the Ceremony—In One Week Three Murderers Are Disposed Of. Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, Dec. 15 arly Mon- day morning Noa, the native Molokai outlaw, paid the penalty for the mur- | der of a Chinese storekeeper. The execution took place within the walls of the Oahu prison. Seven minutes af- ter the trap had n sprung the heart of the condemned man ceased to beat, | and in nine minutes the surgeons pro- | & nounced life extinct. The execution was suc ssful in every particular. Noa died without a perceptible tre- mc Half supported by two guards on his journey to the gallows he stepped with unfaltering step upon the | a: h trap and straightening up he stood motionless while his legs were | being bound with a strap. He showed no fear when the noose was adjusted about his neck, but rather assisted the guards by holding his head high. ‘When the clergyman who had followed | the condemned man upon the scaffold commenced to. pray Noa T bowed his head. The minister, eyes closed and hand upraised, had not finished when one of the guards slipped the cap over the murder- er's head. Warden Low, standing in the courtyard below, took out his watch. It was the signal. With a rattle and bang the trap fell, and an instant after Noa’s body hung dang- ling in midair. At the end of fifteen minutes the Do was cut down and removed to an adjoining shed, where the autopsy was performed. As had been expected, it was found that the vertebrae of the neck had been dislocated, paralyzing the spinal cord and producing almost instant death. The arrangements for the execution were very thorough and were carried out to the letter. At daylight the Warden and his a stant commenced preparations. The gallows was erect- ed in the courtyard behind the main building. An electrician was early on the ground and arranged the trigger of the trap so that it could be set off by one of the electric buttons within the basement of the jail. The other two buttons were useless. Three guards were placed in front of the but- tons. Upon an agreed signal from Warden Low the guards pressed the buttons, one of which sprung the fatal trap. T]hr‘re was no sympathy offered for the murderer among those who wit- nessed the execution. Not a relative or friend was there to shed a tear. Noa had been cruel and vindictive during his lifetime and he found no one to commiserate his end. After the autopsy had been per- formed the body was placed in a plain pine coffin, removed to the Pot- ter’s field and interred at the govern- ment expen: Swift justice has been visited upon the heads of the Maui murderers. ‘Within the week Sagata and Yoshida have been convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. ‘The Lahaina court has broken all rec- ords on murder cases, having disposed of three in a week's time. Sagata was charged with the murder of his wife and child, and was caught red- handed. Yoshida stabbed a Japanese woman to death with a knife, and the evidence of his crime was just about as conclusive as that against his fel- low - countryman. Sagata will be hanged on the last Friday of March, 1898. STRANDED AND THREATENED BY PIRATICAL NATIVES. Wreck of the American Bark Marion S. Harris and the Final Rescue of the Crew. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—On board the steamer Hevelius, which arrived to- day from Brazilian ports, were Chief Officer Hooper, Second Mate Bentley and three seamen of the American bark Marion §S. Harris, which went ashore on November 16 on a coral reef near Cape St. Roque and became a to= tal loss. The vessel struck a coral reef about six miles off shore, where she remained hard and fast, with the seas breaking over her. Captain Dazey Jaunched the lifeboat and proceeded to Natal in search of assistance. Meanwhile the vessel was surround- ed by a swarm of piratical natives from the coast. The crew, with the greatest difficulty, managed to keep them from boarding and looting the vessel of her stores and cargo. On the 17th Captain Dazey returned to the vessel with a lighter, but her crew re- fused to proceed to salve the cargo, hoping she would quickly break up. Bhe was then abandoned and the crew took to the boats and landed at Natal on November 22, where they were taken care of by the American consul, who forwarded them. to Pernambuco, where they took passage home by the steam- er Hevelius. Captain Dazey remained at Natal in order to attend to the own- ers’ interests. —_——— .

Charge of Perversity or Evil Purpose Disavowed by the Secretary. Admits That He May Possibly Be in Error, but Wants the Error Pointed. Out, Special Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Dec. 22. Secretary Gage has written the fol- lowing letter to President Gompers of the Federation of Labor: “I have read with care the resolu- tions adopted the 20th inst. at Nash- ville by the convention of the Federa- | tion of Labor, which recite as follow Resolved, That we declare ourselves most _positively opposed to the Gage financial bill recently introduced in Con- gress by the Secret. of the Treasury. It is a measure that, if adopted as a law, will only the more firmly rivet the gold standard -on the people of the country and perpetuate its disastrous effects in every form. Resolved, That we pronounce the Gage | bill an undisguised effort to retire our | greenback currern and all Govern- ment paper money, with a view to the substitution of naiional bank notes in their s d, and thus fasten the national bank system for years upon the Ameri- can people. “Now, if it be true that the standard—by which things have been gold measured as to price for the last sixty | years in this country—is inimical to the interests of the laboring classes of the ‘United States, then I think it is inimical to all classes. In other words, I do_ not believe that the ex- ploitation of one class by another, either through false weights, partial laws or a bad monetary system, can | be made to work for the permanent | benefit of the exploiting class itself, or for the general weal, even were it de- fensible on any ground of right or jus- tice, which it is not. “Granted, therefore, that the perma- nence of the gold standard (for which I argue) operates in this evil direction, then your resolution of condemnation are well founded, and I am justly arged either with an ignorance vhich constitutes me a foolish adviser, or with a perversity of motive which makes me an evil adviced. - “I have a right to disavow the | charge of perversity or evil purpose, since there is nothing in my whole life as related to my fellow-men, either in vord or deed, from which the posses- sion by me of such characteristics can be inferred, much less demonstrated. But ignorance often unconsciously works as deep injury as evil intent might do, and to this sin of ignorance, if it be a sin, I must confes myself to be a possible victim. This confession, however, ought not to clasify me as separate from my fellow-men gener- ally, whether they be considered as in- dividual units or as congregated in groups. Ignorance is a relative neot an absolute term, since few are to- tally ignorant and none is absolutely wise. Nor does the number constitut- ing the group change this fact, since the wisdom of the group, however large, cannot be greater than that of the wisest man in it. “This remains true whether the sub- ject matter involving knowledge and judgment be astronomy, physics or finance. The condemnation then in- volved in the resolutions referred to is measured by the just or imperfect apprehension of questions relating to monetary science held by-the wisest men who supported them. “Laying these general considera- tions aside, let me say to you and through you to the great body you so honorably represent, that if instead of denunciatory resolutions, which are not argument, you or any one on your behalf will show that the views I entertain and advocate are other than salutary to the great economic body of which we are all independent members, I will abandon them with- out hesitation. My present convic- tion, the honest fruits of sincere study and reflection, is that a breakdown in our present money standard would be a most disastrous blow to all our commercial and industrial interests, and that upon the wage-workers as a class would be entailed the most seri- ous effects of the disaster. Believing this, I must so bear witness.” e wave crest ware .& Albums, toilet ca and glass vases cheap at Sanborn Vail's. _——e—e————— HUNTINGTON SELLS THE STEAMER MORGAN CITY. Joseph Ladue Secures the Vessel and Will Add It to a Line of Steamers to Dyea and Skaguay. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—C. P. Hunt- ington has sold the 2500-ton iron steamer Morgan City, now here, and it will sail with freight and passengers in the course of two or three weeks for Seattle and South Alaskan ports. The purchaser is Joseph Ladue, and the price is about $250,000. Mr. Ladue has given an order for several other steam- ers for the transportation _business. The Morgan City will be added to the fleet and will run between Seattle and Dyea and Skaguay until June 1, when she will start with freight and passen- gers for St. Michael, connecting at that place with the river boats owned by Ladue & Co. 4 SRS ST ADDITIONAL FIGHTING OVER DORA CLAY. John Richardson and Will Brydnt Meet and Fight Fiercely, With Scantlings for Weapons. VALLEY VIEW, Ky, Dec. 22— There were two fights over Dora Clay last night immediately after Will Rich- ardson had emptied his revolver at his brother Clell and had been chased away by Clell with a knife. John Rich- ardson and Will Bryant, Clell's brother-in-law, met on a bridge and had a hand-to-hand encounter with scantlings for weapons. John knocked Bryant down, and the latter ran. up to town, got a pistol and returned to the fight, but John had left. He went home, got his shotgun and watched for Bryant to come out of Clell’s house, but Bryant remained indoors. e ek Schooner-Yacht Yampa Sails. CITY ISLAND, N.

Characterizes the Deed as “A Most Cruel Act of Vil- lainy.” The Victim Not an Aid of General Blanco, but a Civil Engineer of Havana. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 22—Senor Depuy de Lome, the Spanish Minister, who is in town, gave out to-day the contents of a cablegram from Senor Jose Con- gosta, Secretary of the Government in Cuba, which includes the following telegram from Senor Marios Garcia, autonomist Governor of. the province of Santa Clara, to General Blanco: “The Governor of Santa Clara to the Governor-Genera}: Not in my official capacity, but as a Cuban autonomist, I condemn with all the force of my soul the cruel act of villainy perpe- trated on the defenseless and chival- rous Lieutenant-Colonel Ruiz by the body of men who proclaim themselves Cubans and who say they aim at the independence, not the liberty of Cuba. The moment has arrived when the majority of Cuban people under the new legal rule of liberty and law pro- tests as one man against the acts of devastation and cruelty which are an opprobrium to civilization, a scan- dal to the laws of society and a denial of all respect to human feelings. “Thepassiveness of yesterday should be changed to-day to unceasing ac- i until within a brief space the pacification of the country recom- mended to the efforts of the people generally is obtained, after the tri- umph of the autonomist ideal as meet reparation to justice. The generous blood of Lieutenant-Colonel Ruiz, im- molated in the cause of conciliation and peace, will hasten the movement of peace in Cuba.” Senor Congosta's cable to Senor de Lome says: “The press of the island and public opinion generally, even those that sympathize with the in surgerf®s, express the same sentimen Senor Marius Garcia was colone! under General Maximo Gomez in the ten years’ war. Lieutenant Ruiz was not an aid to General Blanco. He be- longed to the Royal Engineers and held a civil position as the head of the Havana water works. He organized the Havana volunteer firemen on American principles, and at the time was at the head of the corps. He had frequently been in the United States and had many friends here. AR AMBUSHED AND SLAIN. | A Cuban Prisoner Tells of the Fate of Colonel Ruiz. HAVANA, Dec. —Agripono Ortiz, the orderly of Colonel Nestor Arangu- ren, has surrendered and has been brought to Havana. In the prese: of local newspaper men and a number of correspondents of American and other foreign newspapers, he said to- day that the late Colonel Joaquin Ruiz was expected by Colonel Aranguren, as letters had been exchanged between them. Ruiz, says, was very affec- tionately received, and after break- fasting together and conversing pri- vately for an hour they went- with guides to Sierra Jaruco. ©Ortiz does not know what occurred afterward, but says he does not be- lieve that Colonel aranguren betrayed the trust reposed in him by Ruiz. He thinks that owing to a difference ex- isting between Aranguren and the in- surgent leader, Rafael de Cardenas, the latter maliciously ambushed them and killed Ruiz. He suspects, how- ever, that Aranguren was killed also, though unable to confirm his suspicion. LITILE CILNCE FOR A TREATY Neither Germany Nor Uncle Sam Seems Eager for Reciprocity, Negotiations Practically at a Stand- still-How the Dingley Law Works. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Dec. 22. The reciprocity negotiations between the United States and Germany are practicaily suspended. They never got beyond the initial stage. There ap- pears to have been a willingness on the part of both Governments to look into the subject, but the inquiry did not develop any prospect of material concessions on either side. The ar- ticles on which a reciprocity “agree- ment” can be made are produced in France and not in Germany. The utmost extent of a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Germany under the present law would be a 20 per cent reduction of duty on certain agreed-upon German products. Germany is chiefly concerned about sugar, but the 20 per cent reduction in duty permitted under the Dingley law, it is said, would be of insignificant consequence. Moreover, some doubt has arisen as to whether any conces- sions on this article would be granted by the United States, in view of the tendency toward building up the American sugar trade as against that of bounty-paying nations. It was thought that the arrival of the new German Embassador, Dr. von Hollenben, would give an impetus to the negotiations, and perhaps result in the conclusion of a treaty, but, on the contrary, the subject has lapsed and neither Government is showing any anxiety to urge the matter to a conclusion. The negotiations with France are similarly at a standstill, owing to the course of the French Government in raising the duties on lard and other American products. The reciprocity negotiations with Great Britain as to the British West Indies are proceeding slowly, but an agreement is not ex- pected in the near future. —_— Pensions for Galifornians.

DALY STILL ON THE TURF Purchaser of Hamburg Will Again Send a String East. Intends Adding Other First- Class Thoroughbreds to His Stable. Is Weary of Selling-Platers, and Wants to Be Represented by Stake-Winners. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—W. L. Pow- ers, who purchased Hamburg for Mar- cus Daly, the copper king, said to-day that it was Daly’s intention last fall to withdraw from the turf for the time being, as he had had such 1l luck with his thoroughbreds during the last year or two. Since he won the Fu- turity in 1896 with Ogden Daly has not had a horse which showed better than selling-plate form. “Mr. Daly has moderated his ideas,” said Powers, “and he now intends to race in the East next season with a string of the very best horses that can be procured. He starts in with Ham- burg and will add to the stable when- ever he thinks he can procure one good enough to represent the copper and silver sleeves.” ‘When asked how much was paid for Hamburg he said: “Well, it was nearer $40,000 than $60,000 and very much nearer. The $60,000 story was the result of Mr. Madden's imagina- tion. The price paid was $41,000. Besides the prospestive Eastern stable, headed by Hamburg, Daly will race his old stock in the West, and should any horse develop stake form at the end of the line he will bé ship- ped to the Eastern string. S gns NOW IN POSSESSION OF THEIR SWEATERS. Joy Dwells in the Hearts of Sian- ford’s Knights of the Gridiron. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 22.—Both football teams are now in possession of their sweaters. Twelve men obtained Varsity sweaters and will be able to sport to good advantage these much coveted trophies during the holiday vacation. The men are: Stuart Cotton (captain) '98, Charles Fickert '98, Forrest Fisher 98, Na- thaniel Carle '98, Alexander Jeffs '8, John Rice, P. G.; Chester Thomas '98, Ray Smith '99, Chester Murphy 99, John S. Daly '00, W. W. Burnett '00, and Garth Parker '99. The members of the second eleven received sweaters yesterday. They are different from former second team sweaters, in having a white Roman numeral “II"” on the front. The fol- lowing fifteen men make up the Hst of those who worked long and efficiently to help give the Varsity its excellent form on Thanksgiving day: D. C. O.

Other London papers express the same opinion. CHINA REGARDS RUSSIA AS HER ONLY FRIEND. PEKING, Dec. 22.—The Chinese Gov- ernment has granted Russia permis- sion to winter a squadron at Port Ar- thur. Great Britain demands a quid pro quo if concessions have been made to other powers. It has been suggested that the Japanese and British occupy ‘Wei Hai Wel jointly. The situation at Kaio Chau Bay re- mains unchanged. The Germans re- main unyielding, and Chinese coun- cils are divided as to whether it should be peace or war with Germany. China regards Russia as her only friend, and asks her advice alone. In spite of offi- cial denials, it is regarded as proved that Port Arthur and Kaio Chau Bay were promised to Russia by secret treaty. British influence is nil, having suffered greatly through the failure of the loan negotiations. China is now negotiating a loan with Russia. The latter demands the dismissal- of the Dritish railroad engineers in North China, and it is probable that it will be granted. The German drill instructors will also be dismissed. At the expira- tion of their contracts they will be re- placed by Russians. Russian officers have already been appointed to drill the troops of North China. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.—The ‘The of o DRI Sl e gt greatest reticence is maintained here in Goverment circles. The Censorship has forbidden the press to attack Ger- many on account of the occupation of Kiao Chau. Emperor Nicholas presided to-day at a special meeting of the council at Al- exander palace, including the Grand Duke, and the chief military and na- val authorities. The Chinese situation was discussed, and it is rumored that Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch had advised the immediate strength- ening of the Russian squadron in China. BERLIN, Dec. 22.—Prince Henry of Prussia, it is said, took an autograph letter from Emperor William to Queen Victoria at Osborne House, and, while in London, ascertained that the British government does not regard the occu- pation of Kiao Chau as incompatible with English interests. LONDON, Dec. 22.—The Vienna cor- respondent of the Standard says he has ascertained that the first news of the occupation of Port Arthur emanated from Tokio, a fact significant of Japan- ese vigilance. Discussing Japan's posi- tion, the correspondent says: ‘“She can- not declare war against either China or Russia, because, if she did, the ten large ironclads that are being built for her in Europe and America and are nearly finished, would be shut up until the war was over. She will, therefore, risk nothing by herself.” Some of the Russian papers are iron- ical at Germany's expense. The Bourse Gazette of Odessa hints that by the time Prince Henry and the German squadron reach China they may find the Tsung Li Yamen has prepared an | unexpected reception for intrusive guests. The Mirovige Otgolski reminds Emperor William of Napoleon III's at- tempt to plant his power in Mexico. VIENNA, Dec. 22—The Deutsche Zeitung says: “The United States, which, from its geographical position, has a greater interest in the opening up of China than all European powers to- gether, cannot possibly consent to its partition or to a division into spheres of influence without having a voice in the matter. It would be a great mis- take to underestimate the strength of | the United States, and a partition of China would be impossible without America’s approval and participation. The European powers will do well to give timely attention to the just as- | pirations and interests of the United States.” LYNCHERS FLEE FROM NEVADL Governor Sadler Offers a Re- ward for the Arrest of Uber’s Slayers. Consternation in Douglas County on the Receipt of the News of His Action. Special Dispatch to The Call. CARSON, Deec. 22.—In accordance with his promise of yesterday, the Governor to-day issued the follow- ing: By virtue of the authority in me vested by the Constitution and laws of the State of Nevada, I, Reinhold Sadler, Lieuten- ant and Acting Governor of the State of Nevada, do hereby issue this official proclamation and offer a reward of $500 to be paid for the arrest and conviction of the person, or any of the persons, who, in violation of the laws of Nevada, lynched one Adam Uber at Genoa, Doug- las county, Nev., on the morning of De- cember 8, 1897. The above reward will be paid at Carson City, Nev., to the person or persons entitled thereto. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed. Done at Carson City, Nev., this 22d day of December, A. D. . (Seal.) REINHOLD SADLER. When the word reached Douglas County yesterday that the reward was to be offered it spread something akin to a panic among the lynchers, and several were so thoroughly frightened that they offered themselves to the authorities as witnesses for the State in the hope of thus saving themselves. Others have already be- gun to disappear, and it is predicted that when the Grand Jury meets most of them will have scattered to other scenes. The Grand Jury will meet on the 28th.
