(5] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1898. stationing of ships at Port Arthur is but temporary and is due to the fact that they would be frozen in if they were to anchor in the harbor of Vladivostok during the winter. They will leave Port Arthur during the com- ing spring.” “Do you believe, Mr. Secretary,” 1 asked, “that there is danger of a gen- eral European war?” “No; I have no idea that war will grow out of the Chinese question at this time. In the first place at the points ‘at which Russian ships are lc- cated, Japanese are established, the Germans have landed and the British and French are stationed at several hundred miles apart. As I have said before, I do not believe there is any present probability of the division of China. Should such division occur, then this government would have to determine what steps would be neces- sary in order to adequately protect American interests.” One of the effects of the Herald’s elaborate presentation of the Chinese | situation is the consideration which the President is now giving to the appoint- ment of a new minister to China. It was decided some d; ago to allow the name of Mr. Page Bryan to be laid before the Senate for confirmation. Since the publication in the Herald this morning, however, the eyes of the au- thorities have been opened as to the importance of the Chinese mission and the nece for having it filled by the ablest man that can be induced to take it. This matter will be discussed at the Cat t meeting to-morrow also, and if they decide upon a good man, some other place than the Peking mis- sion will be provided for Mr. Bryan. Li Hung Chan appeal for inter- national ju: meets with hearty sympathy from most all of the public men here. While public men gener- ally sympathize with China, and while some Senators and Representatives go so far toadvocate firmremonstrances by the United State it is not prob- able that anything will be done. T was told at the British embassy to-day that no official information h: been re- ceived in regard to the Eastern situa- tion. The report that a British man- of-war had fired on a Russian vessel is believed to be unfounded, but the action of the DBritish authorities in urging the reinstatement of Mr. Mc- Leavey Brown, a British citizen, who occupied a high position in the Korean customs service, and who was dis- ed in order that his place might be taken by a Russian, is looked upon as an indication that Great Britain will see that her rights and the hts of her citizens are fully respected. GRANTED A DIVORCE FOR DESERTION Susan Sewall Secures Liberation From Her Husband. Mrs. Dissolute Habits of Arthur Sewall’s | Nephew Cause Him to Lose His Ship and His Wife, BOSTON, 3.—The January ses- sion of the divorce court, Judge Blod- gett, began this morning. There were forty-three cases on the uncontested docket. Several divorces were granted for desertion. Among these was that of M n Sewall against E. R. Se- wall. Mr. Sewall the nephew of Ar- thur Sewall, the Bath, Me., and late candidate for Vice- dent of the United States. was married In San Francisco Sewall was a shipmaster, and ompanied him for four years on his voyages in different parts of the world. Mrs. Sewall testified that her husband’s habits of drinking lost him command of his vessel in 1892, In that year Mr ewall visited her pa- rents in Harwich in this State, and afterward she went with her husband to his home in Bath. They returned to Harwich and soon after Mr. Sewall went away professedly on business, Since that time his wife has seen him but once, and that was at the Adams House in this city in October, 1892, She heard of him in New Jersey and in San Francisco, where he had asse- ciations with other women. During this time Mrs. Sewall has livea at 213 Go. lumbus avenue in this city and has supported herself by dressmaking, SMOKELESS POWDER TRIED WITH SATISFACTORY RESULTS, Contracts for a Large Supply Made With the Duponts and the California Powder Works. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3—Smokeless powder has been thoroughly tried in the smaller guns with satisfactory re- sults. The new powder is a special va- | riety of nitro cellulose, and it is guar- anteed not to deteriorate with age nor to lose its efficiency through climatic changes. Contracts for a large supply of this powder have been made with the Du- ponts of Wilmington and the Califor- nia Powder Works. Nearly 100,000 pounds of the new explosive have been delivered and issued to the various shéps ln‘ commission, aptain Charies O'Nefl, chief Bureau of Ordnance, descrlbegt :gg powder as “a colloid of extreme tough- ness that burns progressively in a very regular manner, and which may be converted directly into smokeless pow- der. It decomposes when burned wholly.” Captain O'Neil states that a new form of colloid velocities of about 2500 foot seconds have been obtained with five and six inch rapid fire guns. By this is meant that the projectiles of the foregoing caliber guns are given velocities of 2500 feet per second time of leaving their pieces. T re g B FELL FROM BALCONY TO THE PARQUET.

Mr. Devine practiced latv in this county for several years after that time, and was elected city Justice of the Peace ap- born ecity, The old board was called to order by President Leonard, and the bills of the month audited.

KILLED A LITTLE SISTER. Fatal Shot Fired by a Boy While Piaying With a Revolver. SAN JOSE, Jan. 3.—Rebecca Smith, the five-year-old daughter of George F. | Smith, was fatally shot to-night by her i0-year-old brother. The children | were playing in the garret of their Simmons to be a member of the | tery, Street Commissioner, City Physi-‘ on the Republican ticket in the fall of | 1886. He was re-elected on the same | The indebtedness of the city in 1898 was shown to be $561,292. The assets amount to $414,167 18, leaving a debt balance of $147,125.18. “ When in pay- ment of this amount the sum of $127- 800, which it is estimated will be re- ceived from the remainder of the taxes of 1897, not yet collected and appor- tioned, and from other sources, is ap- plied, the debt will be reduced to a littie over $19,000—an inconsiderable debt for a city of Sacramento’s size and wealth. The Mayor recommended that the city provide a place suitable for the keeping of public funds, and thus at once comply with the mandate of the law and free the treasury from politi- cal influences. There was great need, he said, of the extension of the street improvements and of the keeping in condition of the streets already im- proved, but the street fund, as now apportioned, was inadequate to meet the demands upon it. The fund should be increased to at least 16 cents, and he was also of the belief that there should be at least 3 cents added to the amount now apportioned to the sewer fund. The efficiency of the Police Department would be greatly promoted by the addition of two more officers to the present force and also by the appointment of two competent detectives. Continuing he said: The prevailing tax rate has apparently been excessive, but past administrations in their desire to lessen it have allowed but too little to the various special funds, compelling transfers to them when they become low from the general fund, there- by causing a deficit at the end of the year, as is evidenced by the fact that during the past two months the general fund has been exhausted. This has ne- cessitated the non-payment of salaries during this period, and they must remain unsettled until the revenues for the next year are received. Enough revenue should be raised each year to liquidate the indebtedness of the’ mun!c!pnflty for such year and not compel the old year to intrench upon the new. The fact that the gencral fund for the -past year is some $14,000 to $16,000 short, and, as al- ready stated. that more money will be needed for the street and sewer funds, may propably force the new administra- tion to increase the tax levy slightly. In this connection, however, I will say that if the city is not visited by the Supreme Court with the misfortune of an adverse home, near this city, and the boy found |an old revolver. Thinking it was | empty he pointed it at his little sister and pulled the trigger. A bullet pene- | trated the child’s eye and she died in five minutes. . 1 DAWSON CITY PROBABLY SAVED FROM FAMINE Continued from First Page. dike-bound,” Watson says, “I was told a strange story. A son of Chilkoot Jack, one of the chiefs, had been pack- ing between the coast and Dawson during the summer and fall, during which time he claimed to have met an Indian from one of the Yukon tributar- ies who had struck a peerless district. This latter Indian said he was hunting some distance from Dawson, when he | happened to examine the boitom of a ’ore‘-k and found in it what he took to be gold nuggets. “Not certain of his own judgment, he got a few and traveled down the 1nernm until near Dawson he found a | white man living with a squaw. This man pronounced the nuggets pure and | importuned the Indian to teil where | they were found, without avail. The | | Indian said he returned secretly 1o the creek and labored there all gathering along its bed as many nug- gets as he could with his limited facili- ties. He erected a cabin and gtored his | findings there.until he had seven-fold more than he could carry. He then ieft in search of his friends w lived along the coast, who were to aid him in car- rying his gold otit of the mountains. “Chilkoot Jack's son told me this in confidence, and I believe he really met some Indian who furnished the infor- | mation. The neatest he could locate | the place was Klondike, which meant | anywhere along the Yukon or tributar- | ies south of Dawson, probably on Stew- | art or Pelly River.” Watson is organizing an expedition | in Alaska to search for this treasure. ‘ WINNECKE'S COMET SEEN FROM LICK OBSERVATORY.

They Met by Chance at the Metropolis Only a Week Ago. European Trip Each Had Planned in San Francisco Turned Into a Bridal Tour. Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Jan. 3.— Although Alderman Ackerman of Brooklyn car- ried off the honors for the first mar- riage in Greater New York, Alderman Thomas McGuire was boasting that he had officiated at the most romantic of twelve marriages performed in the City Hall to-day. The high contracting parties in the romantic marriage were Crittenden Robinson, 47 years old, and Mrs. Min- nie H. Holtau, a widow, seventeen years younger. Both of them are from San Francisco. Both had arrived in this city on their way to Europe. They met in this city by chance last week. Mr. Robinson suggested to Mrs. Hol- tau that she remain here for the cele- bration of the birth of Greater New York, as he intended to do, and she accepted his suggestion. Together they saw the carnival. on Friday night from the City Hall. They were there again the next day to see Mayor Van Wyck inaugurated, and together they attended the first ses- sion of the Municipal Council. As they were viewing the sights of the City Hall on Saturday they saw the marriage bureau. They drifted to it again to-day; then decided that they might as well take advantage of its facilities, and Alderman MeGuire was asked to make them one. The Euro- pean trip each planned in San Fran- cisco was thus transformed in this city into a bridal tour. e —— SEEKING A FREE RURAL POSTAL DELIVERY. Congressman Loud Asks for His District a Service Highly Praised by the Department. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Congress- man Loud was at the Postoffice De- partment to-day to see about the es- tablishment of free rural delivery in his distriet. It will be remembered that the annual report of First Assist- ant Postmaster General Heath said that of all places in the United States for free rural delivery Santa Clara County was ideal, and especially the town of Campbell, in Santa Clara County, as a distributing center. Loud is making earnest endeavors to secure free rural delivery for that section. It appears, however, that the Postoffice Committee of the House of Representatives, of which Mr. Loud is chairman, has decided not toc make as large an appropriation for free deliv- ery in the various cities and towns as was recommended by the Postoffice Department. It is the desire of Speaker Reed, Mr. Dingley, Mr. Loud and other leaders of the House to be as economical as possible in govern- ment expenditures until the Dingley tariff revenue met the expenditures. For this reason, according to Post- office officials, there must be a reduc- tion in the number of letter-carriers in the large cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. In New York, for instance, there haye been six or seven deliveries of mail in the resident districts, and it is now pro- posed to have only four deliveries a day. This programme, if carried out, will necessitate a reduction of letter- carriers in all the big cities of the United States, including San Fran- cisco. It is expected that the Letter Carriers’ Association and the Postal Union will make a vigorous protest against such a reducticn of the letter carriers’ force. Mr. Loud hopes that it will not be necessary to reduce the force of let- ter carriers at San Francisco, but at the same time insists that the towns that are by law entitled to free deliv- ery should be provided for. He does not believe that the big cities shoula menopolize the appropriation made by Congress for free delivery. He will insist that free delivery be established in the towns of his district and wilt especially urge that the town Campbell be made a central distrib- uting point for free delivery in Santa Clara County. of | DIPLOMAS FOR MANY TEACHERS State Board of Education in Session at the Capital. Nearly $87,000 Realized From the Sale of Textbooks in Six Months. Superintendent Black Reports on the Grade Divisions in the Sev- eral Counties. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3.—The State Board of Education met here this morning. Governor Budd was absent. Secretary S. T. Black read his report. The returns from textbooks sold from July 1 to December 31, 1897, amounted to 5\'.6.903 34, which was paid into the schoolbook fund. The report gave the number of each kind sold and the number left on hand. Two extra edi- tions of the histories, amounting to 15,000, had been ordered printed. Superintendent Black also submitted a report regarding the division of the elementary schools into primary and grammar grades in the various coun- ties. One county considers the first three years as primary grades; five ‘counties the first four years; twenty- five counties the first fve years; twenty-one counties the first six years; one county the first seven years; one county the first eight years; three counties no returns. One county has seven grades in the elementary schools; thirteen counties efght grades; twenty- five counties nine grades; four counties ten grades; one county twelve grades; three counties no returns. Twenty-one counties devote three years to high school work and fifteen counties devote four years. The board granted a large number of diplomas to teachers. A letter was read from the Super- intendent of Public Instruction of Kansas, stating that the State had adopted a text book system and re- quested the use of the plates of the California State readers. The matter ‘was referred to the Attorney-General. Professor C. H. Keyes said that the copy for the new history would scon be completed. A committee ~was selected to pre- pare a memorial on the death of Pro- fessor Ira A. Moore. The matter of selecting an official organ as the educational journal was discussed and continued until the next month. TULARE'S DEPOT SITE (LEARED Everything in Readiness for the Coming of the Valley Road. Heavy Traffic Assured the New Line When Its Extension Is Built. Special Dispatch to The Call. TULARE, Jan. 3.—The last house on the depot site of the Valley road right of way in Tulare has been removed and everything is now in readiness for the extension so far as Tulare is con- cerned. The right of way committee has done successful work in clearing away obstructions, and, while some cash subscriptions are still outstand- ing and will be needed before rails are laid to Tulare, these will be forthcom- ing at the proper time. It is understood that the work of ex- tension from Visalia through Tulare to a junction with the Hanford-Bakers- field line will be resumed at an early date, and that trains will be running over the new road early in the spring. The late frosts, which have been unusually severe, have had the effect of keeping back the buds on the vines and fruit trees, consequently a large fruit yield is anticipated. Every avail- able foot of land has been or is being put into wheat, so that with the spring rains, which are now promising, the yield of grain will again be very large. The shipments of stock from Tulare in the past two years have increased many fold, and those of next year will be larger than ever before in the his- tory of Tulare County. The Valley road people are fully alive to this and will leave no stone unturned in order that they may get their share of the traffic already in view. —_————— —_—_—ee 0000000 000000000000 000000000000 000 000000000000 000000 THE SPRING.
