The Hustler was owned by James E. Tarr Brothers and left her August 28 to engage in the bank cod-fishery under command of Captain Alexander J. Mec- Fadden. On the 9th of October the Hustler put into Harbor Maine, N. F., and procured a supply of bait. Captain McFadden wrote home that he had 140 tubs of fish on board and would return to the southern part of the banks to complete his trip. Since leaving Harbor Maine absolutely no tidings of the vessel have ever been received, and it is thought she foundered in the great gale which swept the Grand Banks on October 19 and which created such havoc among the fishing fleet. The Hustler was a stanch craft of 92.7 tons, built at Essex in 1889, valued at $7000 and insured for $4571 on the vessel and $1700 on outfits. She carried a crew of eighteen men, two of whom were married and the owners ate they were as fine a set of young men as they ever had in one vessel.

But It Is Already Indicated That Im- | prisoned Captain Dreyfus Will Not Be Aided. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Jan. 10.—The trial by court ial of Major Count Ferdinand Wal- Esterhazy, the retired officer of the French army who came Into nence in the iatter part of November through the publication by Figaro of a number of letters which the Count is alleged to have written reflecting in strong language on France and the French army, w opened this morning under the presidency of Genera! De Luxer. Among those who filled the hall were Mme. Dreyfus, wife of Albert Dreyfus, the former Captain of the French ar- ery now undergoing imprisonment for life for having been convicted of selling important French militury plans to agents of a foreign power, with which afrfair Esterhazy is said t) have been connected, also the broth of Mme. Dreyfus, Senator Traireux, the former Minister of Justice and Depu- Ceuvnt Esterhazy appeared in uni and w escorted by R:pub guards. The clerk of the court said the court was held in order to end the contradictory rumors which had been spread by the excited pubiic. There- upon M la Borie, counsel for Mme. Drej asked permission to take part The counsel for A% asked to appear > proceedings. The court r both applications, and the taking timony commenced. Counsel 1« the Government said trial might be inimisal to the interests of the national defense and demanded a secret hearing. The court decided by a majority of five to two that the trial should be pub- lic until the moment when publicity might appear to prejudice the national detense. The court having thus yielded to pub- nion, the report of the invesi!- gation ofhicer, Major Ravarry, w; read. It completely whitewashed Count Esterhazy and was generally r garded as being a serious indictment of Colonel Picquart, whose arrest when this trial is finished is anticipated. Colonel Picquart, according to the Isigeant, was in the latter part of November sentenced to thirty days’ de- tention in a fortress. He was an offi ummoned from the United States to mnection with the Drey- fus affair, and his statements were re- ported to be the basis of the accusa- tions brought i Count Esterhazy. . report « or Rivarry does not adduce much evidence except the dec- laration of the experts that the famous borderau (note) not written by Count Esterhazy. It contains the unt’s protest against the “calumni- ous imputations” made by Colonel Pic- quart, who, it appears, without author- it caused him to be shadowed. The colonel, observes the report, is the soul of the present agitation, and declares | , it is pointed out, when his superiors urged him not to persist, he exclaimed: “Oh, they won't pel them to act.”” The report continues with the state- | ment that Coloneél Picquart, in 1896, was surprised while examining secret documents belenging to the general staff, and concludes very step taken in this sad affair, which caused so much anguish to all really French hearts, is intended to ob tain a reversal of a judgment legally and justly pronounced. No tangible proof of Major Esterhazy's guilt forthcoming, nor is there adequate evi- dence to support the charge of high treason.” The court then adjourned o'clock. Major Esterhazy testified that he be- came aware of the plot against him through anonymous letters which led until to his meeting an unknown velled wom- | an. He had communicated the results of that meeting to General Billot, Minister of War, and President Faure. The judge put a series of easy ques- tions to Major Esterhazy. to which the latter evidently had already made an- swers. The major ended by following Major Ravary's cue and accused Colo- nel Picquart of burglarizing his resi- dence and stealing letters. Mathieu Dreyfus was then examined. He w asked to state the basis of his accusation against Major Esterhazy, and replied that, without being an ex- pert, it was only necessary to compare the writing in the bordeau and Major terhaz: handwriting, in order to be convinced that they were identical. Continuing, Mathieu Dreyfus made a | learned graphological statement. More- over, he pointed to the fact that Major terhazy had subsequently tried to modify his handwriting, as a con- firmation of his suspicions. In reviewing other of the major, M. Dreyfus quoted a let- ter in which Esterhazy said: I am in such a plight that I can only recover vself by crime.” This.” said M. Dreyfus, cally, “was written by an officer who has the honor to wear the uniform eof a French officer.” Here “Oh’s” were heard among the audience. Counsel for Major Esterhazy there- upon asked M..Dreyfus who was pay- ing the “enormous costs of circulating pamphlets respecting Major Ester- hazy,” to which M. Dreyfus replied: “That is my business, not yours.” This remark caused excitement among those present and brought forth shouts of “miserable.” Death of Samuel Irvine of Salinas. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 10.—Samuel Ir- vine, a resident of Salinas, died at Burke's Sanitarium at Mark West on Sunday. He was very well known in Monterey County.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 10.—The that has prevailed in this county Sor the past three days reached its height to-d: when copious showers fell in city and country. Snow covered the mountains around about, making a | beautiful and novel sight. The temper- ature is normal, in spite of the predic- |tions of a dangerous frost to-night Lyons Peak, the bold headland that stands out from the smaller mountains east of the city, is covered with snow. This is the second time that snow has fallen ther n the memory of the old- est inhabitant, Indian or white. The peak is high, but only twenty miles from the coast, and within ten miles of it are thousands of acres of land that have never fel e touch of frost. Lem- ons and oranges are flourishing and ripening there, with the w’s cold breath menacing them, but unless the weather turns completely upside down there is no danger. In tbe higher moun- tains, within view of the city, rangin back to sixty miles from the coast, th snowtfall has been quite large, reaching a 1oot at Cuyamaca, in the Laguna mountains. Even at Morena Dam, 3100 feet above sea level, eight inches of snow fell to- d. The rainfall previous to the snow- fall was over two inches, insuring an immense catchment in the new voir. Cuyamaca Lake, the feeder of the city, contained only a few hundred thousand gallons before this storm, but it is now rising and the danger of a wa- ter famine is believed to be past. Four-fifths of the barley and wheat of this section is in the ground and was starving for rain before this storm. | The rainfall means pr erity instead of hard times. The deficiency of pre- cipitation in this city is still two inches below normal, but the experience of former years indicates that it will be made up, and even surpassed during January and February. The present downpour is worth hundreds of thou- sands of dollars, but it will not be enough to place crops beyond the need of more moisture in due time. The view from the city of San Diego was marked by strangers as being the most superb they had ever seen. Palms, lemon groves, and all kinds of green growth, ros and violets bloom- ing everywhere, covered the lowlands as far as the eye could see, while the white mountains, brought much nearer, ipparently, by the s midst of summer. witnessed by thousands of people who had never before doxical stories told of California’s won- derful ¢ RIVERSIDE, Jan. 10.—There was a big surprise in store for Riversiders this morning when they peered out of door Lawns and roof tops were everywhere covered with snow, and or- ange trees had added to their burden The hills and mountains, of which glimpses could be obtained when the | clouds lifted, had their rugged outlines softened by a coat of snow several | inches deep. The snow fell between midnight and morning. A heavy rain followed and melted the snow in town 10 a. m., but the adjacent moun- tains are still covered. The snow did no damage to either fruit or trees in this valley. Reports from Moreno, Alessandro, Perris and San Jacinto are to the effect that over two inches of snow fell at these places last night It disappeared with the advent of the sun and did no damage.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: Another chapter in the | great Panama canal scandal was in- augurated to-day by efforts set on foot to have the United States compel France to indemnify Dr. Cornelius Hera to the extent of $5,000,000. | Solicitor of the State Department enfiecld heard arguments submitted in behalf of the claimant by his attor- | neys, Edward Lauterbach, A. J. Ditten- hoefer and Herbert R. Limburger ot New York. The department declined some months ago to press the claim ot | Dr. Herz on the ground that he was | not an American citizen, but the argu- | ments made by his attorneys to-day seem to show he is a citizen, and if his citizenship is proved the probabilities are that the matter will be laid before the French Government. Dr. Herz's claim for indemnity wa= based upon the arbitrary arrest he suf- fered as a result of the action of the French republic, his detention, pro- longed prosecution, and alleged extor- tion, blackmail and confiscation of property. In suppert of Dr. Herz's claim to the protection of the United States, his counsel id he was brought to this country by his parents when 4 years old, was educated here, and the French Government recognized him as an American citizen. Dr. Herz was in England in 1892, when the Panama canal scandal first began to attract the public attention of France. He was ur- gent appealed to by Baron de Rein- ach and various members of the exist- ing French Government to return to s for a few days, in order, through s influence and ability, to help put an end to the lals. He went to Paris, but matters did not improve, and he returned to England, where he became seriously ill. NEW TO-DAY. WASTE NOT, WANT NOT. He Who in Youth Outrages the Laws of Nature Must Repay.
