THE SA not bé permitted to water thelr valuation, neither should the.valu- ation of the plant be cut below what it is really worth. The whole matter will have to be brought up before a committee and thoroughly investigated. We will try to do right by the people and the com- panies with no fight to make on anybody.” W. H. WATKINSON. “I don’t know anything about the water rate question. I have formed my opinion regarding the matter. I never cross a bridge until I come to it. I have nothing to say in the matter, as I have thought nothing about it.” G. T. EARL. “I haven’t a thing to say about this water rate matter. I don’t kn anything about the rates, and I think I would be foolish to go on record about something that I know nothing about. It will be time enough for me to express an opinion when the matter comes before me for action.” h i F. GIRARD. “I am for the people ail the time. I don’t belong to either company, and 1 am in favor of reducing rather than raising the rates. 1 think there is something up, and 1 am glad The Call has drawn atten- tion to it. I don’t want any more people from the water companies coming to me to tell me what I ought to do. There have been sev- eral already, and I am tired of it. 1 am for the people, and shall do the best for the people. I am sure there is no $6,000,000 worth of plant be- longing to either company, and if they will charge what -the law al- lows, they will get enough.” W. PRINGLE. Mr. Pringle is an energetic young man, who was put in the Council by the younger element of Oakland, and it is believed that he will desire an investigation before the rates are fixed. He will not wish to make a fight on the water companies. and will work for a rate that willi be fair. DOG SHOW AWARDS. Special Prizes ‘Awarded for Bench Exhibits at Sacramento.

She tied up at Skaguay at an unexpected time, during the short day- light hours. The white men ashore im- mediately objected to the Indians. A cry went from the dock of “50 cents an hour and no Indians.” Carcasses of hogs were pushed from the shoulders of the Indians as they carried them ashore. - One noble red man, enraged at the my opinion that the Alaskan detach- ment of the army could not be better employed than in watching the traiis and tallying the men and provisions passing to the interior.

First Officer McCarthy jumped ashore, jerked off his | coat and offered to whip the whole | crowd if they would come at him one | at a time. He was set upon by several | | men at the same time, and the Indian | who threw the hog was in the midst of | | 2 furious gang of loggshoremen. The | Indian, name unknown, was beaten | nearly to death. His blood stained the | | planks of the dock. McCarthy came off | | without a seratch. The second officer | and the boatswain jumped to his as- | sistance and they cleaned out the | crowd. Purser Bush, off watch, took | a hand in the melee in a manner which | showed he knows something in addi- | tion to figures and the business of the ship. The outcome of a very lively al- | tercation was a compromise, in which | the Indians were permitted to work at | one hatch. The crowd of ships and the bad weather have started the list of casu- | alties. Good Fortune smiled on the | start, but she will likely frown on the | finish. The Al-Ki ran aground on a | mud flat near Pyramid Harbor, in | i Lynn Canal, in furious weather during | which the snow fell so thick as to ob- | | scure the outlook. Not even the tops | of the mountains could be seen. The Al-K1 was formerly a whaler. She has | a heavy wood hulk. That saved her, | and her crowded passengers arrived in | Dyea without the loss of a man. In| her position any other ship would prob- ably have gone to pieces. | The steamship George W. Elder, from | Portland, lost her bearings and went | hard aground in Lynn Canal during | a snow and windstorm on her last trip up. She got off safely. She lay on a level, soft bottom, which is very ex-{ ceptional in Alaskan waters, and that fact prevented a repetition of the ca- | tastrophe which befell the Mexico. This week or next there is to be a general shaking up of captains on Pa- cific Coast Steamship Company boats | and many changes. Captain Carroll of the Queen and Corona has resigned, to g0 into the Klondike transportation business. He has been commodore of the Alaska fleet. The young Chicago boy with the frozen and amputated feet, who was deserted on the down-river trail by his | stepfather, is making a profitable thing of his misfortune. He is now lying in | a cabin one mile and a half on the west side of Five Finger Rapids, a16 re- | sponding to a sign, many outcoming | | miners leave him a contribution. *“Nig- | ger Jim” Daughtery, for instance, who | went below a few days ago on the | steamship City of Seattle, gave him | $50. The boy has lost his legs, but if he remains on the trail he will gain at | least a small Klondike of contribu- | tions. { A very touching tragedy which has | California connections has occurred on the White Pass. Father Winter has killed a San Luis Obispo boy. Daniel Lopez left Skaguay on the morning of January 11 with a dog and sled. He | was bound for Lake Bennett. He had | cotton underclothing, was not physi- | cally strong and was warned by Judge | Abrahams and others against attempt- | ing the trip. The next day, Thursday, | | after his departure, he was found lying | in the drifting snow on the summit of | the pass, his tent partially -~ulled over. | He was found by W. A.

Newspaper Correspondent Wells Will Hasten to Washington. SEATTLE, Jan. 30.—Five Klondikers arived in Seattle to-night. Four came on the steamship Al-Ki and one on the Rosalie. The latter is E. H. Wells, a representative of several Eastern pi pers, who was the latest to leave Daw- son, having started out December 20. Mr. Wells is the bearer of important and strictly confidential from Captain Ray at Fort Yukon to the War Department at Washington. The burden of secrecy imposed upon him may be judged from the fact that he is not at liberty to give even an intima- tion of the nature of these dispatches to the very papers which he represents. It 1s inferred here that the dispatches bear on the food situation in the North- west Territory and the importance of an adequate national guard on the Yu- kon. The most important news item brought out by Mr. Wells is that Major Walsh, the Canadian Gold Commis- sioner at Big Salmon, issued positive and peremptory orders that no Kion- dikers be admitted from the coast to points on the Yukon in British terri- tory unless they were supplied with at least 1000 pounds of food each, exclu- sive of tea and coffee. This order was made effective January 15. Major Walsh since that date turned back a few people and many others now cross- ing the divide will be stopped by him. Mr. Wells declares that the number that have come out over the trails is less than has been supposed; further- | more that only 401 persons had passed Major Walsh up to January 15 on their way out to the coast, whereas it was currently believed in Dawson that at least 1000 people had left their camp to come out. In commen with many of the best-in- formed men who have recently come out of the Klondike, Mr. Wells is very positive in his conviction that the sup- ply of food will run extremely low along the Yukon before the ice breaks in the spring s as to admit passage of steamers up from St. Michael. While he is very conservative in his state- ments, he asserts that if no food supply is carried in there will be positive suf- fering, not only at Dawson but along the Yukon and on the trail. The four Klondikers who arrived on the Al-Ki were: Homer Morris of Chi- cago; George Barrick, Cripple Creek, Colo.; S. A. James, Kansas City, and J. E. Dousey, Stamford, Conn. They left Dawson on December 14. They report that between 150 and 200 men will ar- rive here from Dawson within the next six weeks. When they left they sold their provisions at an average of eighty cents a pound. . Dousey carried a sack of nuggets weighing thirty-five pounds. g £ T PICKS FOR GOLD SEEKERS. New Invention Bei‘nig‘ Manufactured by Blacksmiths at Monterey. MONTEREY, Jan. 30.—The fact that sleds and snowshoes intended for use in Alaska are being built in a town like Monterey is causing much surprise and now being made the Whitcombs have Brothers is a center of interest. This shop has become, temporarily, a sort of prospector’s outfitting establishment, for besldes the snowshoes and sleds now being made the Whitcombs have invented an improved miner’'s pick that is rapidly coming into favor. This pick differs from the usual pick in that an iron band the width of the handle passes over the end of the handle and about five inches up each side to form a loop at the end, into which the pick is slipped. The band is securely bolted to the wood, which is lighter than an | ordinary pick handle and an iron key | that is inserted into the loop with the pick holds the latter firmly in place. The points of the pick are made so that | they can be sharpened at an open fire. The sleds are of the genuine Eskimo style, strong and light, seven feet long | and sixteen inches wide to track with snowshoes, and capable of carrying a load of 800 or 1000 pounds. made of hickory instead of spruce (spruce is usually used in the Alaskan sleds) and have runners and braces of the finest chilled steel. Each sled when completed does not exceed thirty- nine pounds in weight. TRAMWAY OVER CHILCOOT. Time Between 'Hd:nter and the Lakes Considerably Shortened. TACOMA, Jan. 30.—Hugh C. Wallace, president of the Chilcoot Railroad and Transportation Company, has advices of the completion of the company’s aerfal tramway over Chilcoot Pass in Alaska. The company’'s system is a railroad from Dyea to Canon City; thence a system of aerial tramways over Chilcoot Pass to Lake Linder- man. This marks a new era for Klon- | dike travel. water and the headwaters of the Yu- kon River is shortened from a month to one day, besides removing peril and hardship. The company made a contract last night with the Canadian Government at 15 cents a pound for transporting all its freight for the mounted police from | Dyea to Lake Linderman. Off to the Gold Fields. VISALIA, Jan. 30.—Five young and vig- orous men, several of them skilled car- penters, left here for the Kiondike to-day. They will purchase their outfits In San Francisco and leave there February 10. Two days ago two other men and twelve dogs left here for the Klondike. This is the first time citizens of Visalia have started for the gold fields since the rush {ngu. A number of others will soon fol- ow. Rare Books and Relics Burned. MAYSVILLE, Ky., Jan. 30.—Maysville | was visited to-day by the most destruct- ive fire in the history of the city. The ‘Washington Opera House and the Mason library bullding, full of rare and pre-historic’ relics, were burned and a number of business houses more or less damaged. The total loss will approach $50,000. — Injured by a Fall.

Remarkable Time Made Despite Stoppage Delays Aggregat- H ing an Hour. i Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 30.—The Ore- | g8on Railway and Navigation Com- | pany’s steamship Columbia blew her big whistle and slowed down to land at | her dock in this city at 10:27 this morn- | ing, completing the fastest trip on rec- ord between San Francisco and Port- land. This remarkable performance was not | | the shaving of a few minutes and sec- | onds from the record, but the best pre- | vious time made was beaten by over | an hour, and the ocean trip from San | Francisco to Portland lacked but a few | | seconds of being reduced to an even | | two days. Her time was forty-eight | hours and thirty seconds, an hour of | which was consumed in stops. | The Columbia got away from her dock in the Bay City at 10:09 a. m. Fri- day, and for the first 300 miles by the | coast steamed along easily over a calm sea, Captain Conway preferring to put in the time in this way rather than to | crowd the steamer, get up off the Co- | lumbia at midnight in thick weather, and then be obliged to walt until morn- | | ing to_enter the river. The glass in- dicated better weather, as the steamer | neared the Oregon line, so it was decid- | ed to let her out a little, after she had | reeled off about 300 miles at an easy | gait. A southerly breeze sprang up | about this time and aided the efforts of Chief Engineer Jackson in hurrying her along at a lively rate. | The steamship was off the Columbia | River lightship at 1:25 this morning, | enveloped in a thick fog, which prom- | ised to spoil all the prospects for a fast | | run, but after a wait of twelve minutes the fog cleared up sufficiently to enable Captain Conway to get his bearings, | and he brought her in without further delay, reaching Astoria_at 3:20, and proceeding to Portland after a delay of forty-one minutes. ICARAGUA MAY BE CALLED DOWN | | S8eptember, Has Not the Right to Grant | Concessions for Canals ‘i and Railways. Violates the Agreement Formally Entered Into With the Maritime " Compa Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. %.—A Washington speclal to the Herald says: If the Nicar- aguan Government should contract with a forelgn syndicate for the construction | | of railr nd steamship lines across its ‘ territory, as has been indicated, such ac tion would, authorities say, be in viola- | tion of the terms of the concession grant- d to the Maritime Canal Company and | | would probably be resented by the United | States. | Article 5 of the concesslon to the Mari- | time Company provides that ‘“the State | binds itself not to make any subsequent | concessions for the opening of a canal | between the two occans during the term of the present concession (ninety-nine | years), and also to abstain from granting | concessions for a railroad such as might | compete with the ation of merc = riod; but nothing in this article shall pre- vent the Government of Nicaragua from constructing or permitting the construc- tion of such raflways as it may deem ad- visable for commerce and internal traf- | c. This same article provides that “said | Government shall also nave the right to construct or permit the construction of | an interoceanic raiiway, if in course of | time it be demonstrated that the canal is not_sufficlent to satisfy the demands of traffic of all nations. Advocates of the canal, however, say | that this provision cannot become applic- able until after the canal has been bullt | and has proved incapable of handling the | | traffic. Friends of the canal say the first | portion of this article shows clearly that | Nicaragua has not the right to make any such concession. - ATTEND A BANQUET AND A BULL-FIGHT. | | Consul-General iea and Officers of the Maine Are Well Enter- tained at Havana. HAVANA, Jan. 30.—This morning Unit- ed States Consul-General Lee gave a ban- quet at the Havana Yacht Club House at Mariano Beach to the officers of the United States warship Maine. The guests of the occasion were Captain Sigsbee, Lieutenants Catlin, Jolman, Hood and | Jungen; Chaplain Chadwick, Paymaster Littlefleld, Dr. Heneberger, Chief Engin- eer Howell and Cadets Holden and Boyd, of Washington. The company included also several well- known residents and reprfesentatives of the English and American press, Pepper and Scovel. Consul-General Lee presided, assisted by Vice-Consul General Springer. The former proposed ‘“Captain Sigsbee and the Splendid Officers of the Maine. | ~Captain_Sigsbee responded, and then | proposed “The United States and General | Eitshugh Lee, Its Representative in !

J., Jan. 30.—A few days ago President Francis L. Patton an- nounced that he would address the under- graduate body to-day upon the subject of temperance. As a consequence, Mar- quand Chapel was crowded at 5 o'clock to-day. In the audience were several signers of the Princeton Inn liquor Ii- cense, among them Grover Cleveland, Professor Charles Woodruff Shields. Wwhose resignation from the Presbyterian church was caused by criticism growing out of his signing the petition, and Pro- fessor Charles Greene Rockwood. Dr. Patton said in part: “I bear testimony to the high moral tone of the students of this university. know that they have been misrepresent- ed and misunderstood. Their hilarity, their boisterous outbreaks of exuberance, | their songs, which often have a more Bacchanalian sound than I would wish, and, in some Instances, their inexcusable acts of wrongdoing have produced im- pressions which the facts will not justif: and they have on many occasions been charged ” with reason than that under the influence of the gregarious instinct which sometimes assumes an almost irrational mode of ex- pression animal spirits have been allowed too much freedom, and speech and action have not been kept within those bounds Wwhich mature men in the busy walks of Ife are apt to assoclate with sobriety. But there s never less reason for adverse criticism of Princeton than dur- Ing the period in which it has been so un- sparingly bestowed upon us. I have tak- en pains to find out the truth and I am still unshaken in my conviction thai the tendency in Princeton Is steadily in the direction of a diminished use of alcoholic drinks. Still, T must not be blind to the fact. and after making all allowance for willful misrepresentation or mistake, T am constrained to believe that there is far more of what is cailed moderate drinking among us than the wisest and best frineds of Princeton could wish, and | there are those among you who are put ting their future in peril by the excessive use of intoxicating drink REAR-ADMIRAL BRAINE SUMMONED BY DEATH.

Republican Chairman Hay Depre- cates Their Vote for the Teller Resolution. CHEYENNE, Jan. 30.—State Treasurer Henry G. Hay to-day tendered his resig- nation as chairman of the Republican | Central Committes for Laramie County | because of the vote of the Wyoming Sen- | ators, Warren and Clark, for the Teller- Mathews silver resolution. In resigning he says: “The position taken by our Senators in- dicates that it is thelr intention to force the Republicans of this State into a po- sition antagonistic to McKinley, the na- tional Republican party and the St. Louls | platform, and a large majority of them cannot b so forced.” The resignation is believed to be the commencement of a fight for supremacy in the Republican party of the State be- tween the gold standard advocates, un- and the bimetallists under Senators War- ren and Clarke, who now control the | State organization. —— | ONTARIO'S FR IT SHIPMENTS.

Attorneys Engaged to Aid in the Prosecution of Sheriff and Deputies. In Defense It Will Be Claimed That They Merely Carried Out Their Sworn Duty. Special Dispatch to The Call. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Jan. 30.—The | case of Sheriff James Martin and his eighty deputies, charged with murder and felonious wounding of a score of striking miners at Latimer, this county, September 10 last, will be called for trial in the Criminal Court next Tues- day, February 1. It is expected that the trial will last a week and it may be longer before a verdict is reached. Dis- trict Attorney Martin will be assisted in the prosecution by Joseph M. Gar- man, Chairman of the Democratic State | Committee, and John McGuthrin. They are employed by the relatives of men who were killed. John T. Lenahan, one of the leading criminal lawyers of this section ur the State, will be senior counse: Zur th® de- fense. The first battle will be over the selection of a jury. More than a hun- dred witnesses have been subpenaed, but not all of them will be heard. The commonwealth will claim that the strikers were only exercising their rights as American freemen when they marched on the public highway un- armed. It will be contended that they | were not lawless, that they had offered no personal violence to anyone, and that they were not bent on destroying property. The lawyers for the prosecu- tion will quote decisions from the | higher courts to show that such a body | of men had a right toc move on the | public highway while engaged in a peaceful mission. On the other hand, counsel far the defense will charge that the strikers were riotous; that they were armed, and that their intention was to destroy property. They will call | witnesses to show that the people liv- ng in the strike district were fearful for their lives and that some of them moved away for safety. It will also be shown that the Sheriff had come in conflict with the strikers at Hazelton | on the morning of September 10, and | that he then and there warned them by reading the riot act that they were violating the law and that they should disperse and go to their homes. In- stead of accepting this advice they jeered the officer of the law and pro- ceeded on their march to Latimer. The Latimer mine was in operation, the employes had no grievance so far as known, and it will be averred the only object the strikers could have had in going there was to intimidate the men. The owners of the mine had ap- property, and in attempting to do his sworn duty in the matter his deputies cameé in conflict with the strikers and bloodshed was the result. The defense will contend that this was the most natural thing in the world, and that, under the circumstances, it would be a travesty of justice to hold the officers of the law guilty of murder. —— - Rumor of Dervish Advance.

The mighty James Tod Sloan will ar- rive this week and the racing game will receive fresh impetus. Tod will bring with him all of his old-time skill and a few new “‘twists” picked up over in Eng- | land. He will be welcomed with out- | stretched arms, for most of the talent | now riding at the tracks is decidedly | rusty and uncertain. George Wheelock, the well-known Eastern bookmaker, ac- companied by Fred Cowan, a wealthy ad- mirer of the turf, dropped in from the East last evening and will probably take a hand in the game to-day.

Have No Respect for Uncle Sam Owing to the Absence of a Warship. | Suggestions Made by Ex-Consul- General Churchill Are Promptly Acted Upon. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: The American flag will soon be dis- played in Samoan waters by a man-of- war. The vessel will be the Mohican, which has been converted into a train- ing-ship. Since the arrival here of for- mer Consul-General Churchill, the President and Assistant Secretary of State Day have become convinced that | American interests demand that a man-of-war shall visit Samoa. Mr. Churchill has told them that the na- | tives hav® no respect for the American Government because it has never sent a man-of-war to support any steps for the protection of American interests which its representatives in Apiamight take. | Mr. Churchill reported an insult paid to a man from Arizona, who had estab- lished a mission near Apia. He de- manded satisfaction, but the natives laughed at him, and upon subsequent occasions when he attempted to get satisfaction for some wrong committed " they taunted him with the outrage committed upon the mission, and the further fact that he had received no support from his Government in the | stand he had taken. The natives have quite a different feeling for the British and German Governments. Each of these Govern- ments kceps one and sometimes two cruisers in Samoan waters. The last American warship to visit Apia was the Alliance, which dropped anchor in the harbor in 1898. Upon the arrival of the Mohican in Samoan waters it is expected that her commanding officer, Commander G. M. Book, will confer with Consul-General Osborne in regard to steps to be taken to create a deeper respect among the natives for the American flag. I understand that as a result of rep- resentations which have been made by | former Consul Churchill the adminis- tration may enter into negotiations with the London and Berlin Govern- | ments looking to an amendment of the | tripartite treaty under which Samoa is | governed. In the first place,- Mr. | Churchill thinks the salaries of Chief Justice and other offivers appointed by the three Governments in' Samoa are | too high, and these may be scaled | down. There is no iIntention on the part of the administration to abandon the interest of this Government in Samoa, and Mr. Churchill does ' not récommend it, although he says the only reason why this Government should continue its hold on the islands is because it is morally bound to do so by the course pursued in the past. Mr. | Churchill states that if the United | States were to withdraw from the | Samoa Islands they would be divided up by Germany and Great Britain. Ex-Governor Plaisted Dead.
