Transportation Companies Will Again Be “Swamped” With V [ Provisions. i RICHES OF THE BERRYS:| Quantities of Gold Taken From Their Claims. on Ei Dorado Creek. | | Special Dispatch: to: The Cafl: ' | SEATTLE, Feb. L—Among the la- test arrivals from ‘Dawson.is J. B: Dauchy of Torrington, Gonn. . He left the Klondike gold:fields on December 20 and came - into ~Seattle .on the steamer Al-Ki. ‘In an interview with The Call correspondent to-night Mr. Dauchy sald: “Mine-owners on’the Klondike are unwilitng to: tell how \fnes are yielding. They are afraid of the coming royalty which they wiil soon be obliged to- pay. I think there will be trouble when the royalty regulation is enforced: I be- lieve the gold output this. winter will Dbe at least $10,000,000. “I look for a greater scarcity of food next winter ‘than that expe- | rienced’ this winter. The supply at Fort Yukon is very ~scarce and the boats coming up the river will be clean- ed out belore they reach Dawson. 'So many people are going in this spring that the transportation companies will | be swamped next fall, and that is when | the greatest scarcity will exist. | “In going in no man:should attempt | to make the trip Withéut: from one to | one and a half tons of provisions and east $500 in cash-besides. . Men with a tendency to conswmption or who | have rheumatism - shoull stay out However, it is the place for-any young man to go to who has grit-and cour- age and i8 not afraid of @ few hard- ships. “The trail from Dawson to Pelly 18 good—not much rough jce—but from Pelly to Five Fingers the ice is jammed | making travel slow and labor- | iou Thirty-mile River is still open and is the worst part of the trail, From Labarge to Lindemsan the trail is first- class. The day I reached White Horse Rapids the police had finished a new trail around the left side of the rapids. J. Walsh has ordered the mounted po- lice to vacate the Little Salmon. “The three sleds of mail for which the Dawson peoplé have been looking vainly for so long had reached Pelly River. There will be great rejoicing when that mail gets to Dawson. “The men who are rushing into the Yukon country at this time of the year should remember that they cannot do any effective work at mining until next winter. This means that if they go in now they will have to lie around all summer and do nothing. There is no possibility of acquiring claims in the | Klondike district except by purchase. In June last the Gold Commissioner’s office was established at Dawson, and since that time 4000 placer mining claims have been recorded. The fee for recording each claim is $15. “The festive sport is conspicuous and promiscuous in Dawson. Faro is a popular game. “A rich strike has just been reported from No. 34 on El Dorado Creek, which is owned by J. J. Rutledge of Juneau, Thomas Rockwell of Seattle and George Alexander of Dungeness, Wash. They are taking out pay dirt which is ten feet deep and about one hundred feet wide, and averages 310 to the pan. Some pans have run as high as $125. Clarence J. Berry of San Francisco be- came rich and famous by reason of the big amount of gold that he took out of his El Dorado claims last season, but this year the returns from the same claims will be much greater and the Berry boys will clear up in the neigh- borhood of $500,000. Frank Berry and his brothers are working claims Nos. 4, 5 and 6 on El Dorado, and they have a streak of gravel from eight to ten feet ‘which runs from $8 to $100 to the pan. They are getting fabulously rich dirt from twenty holes. *“In a few of them they are working down to bedrock and the pay in them runs form $25 to $600 to the pan. Over $100,000 is now contained in one dump alone. The Berrys are also working | claim No. 21 below Discovery on Hun- ker. Six feet of gravel on this claim goes from $4 to $10 to the pan.” — RELIEF EXPEDITION DELAYED. Steamship George W. Elder Will Not Sail Before Friday. PORTLAND, Feb. 1—The Govern- ment. Yukon relief expedition, which was scheduled to sall from here to- | night on the steamer George W. Elder, | will probably not leave before Friday, owing to the failure of the steamer to return from Alaska in time.. The Elder lay all day at Astoria discharg- ing a cargo of coal and she will not ar- rive until to-morrow morning. Gen- | eral Merriam, commanding the De- | partment of the Columbia, will endeav- | or to hasten the departure of the relief expedition owing to the alarming con- dition of affairs in Alaska as set forth in :the report of Captain Ray. TURNS DEFEAT INTO VICTORY. Jack Bonner Wins a Prize-Fight ‘When Seemingly Beaten. - WHEELING, W. Va.' Feb. 1.—To- night, in the arena of the Mettropolitan Athletic Club, occurred one of the most exciting contests ‘yet ‘pulled off. by the local club. It was billed as a jwenty- round contest, but only. thirteen were required.

FSCAPES BY A CLEVER RUSE San Bernardino Prison Officials Lose a Prisoner. Blackmaliler Williams Gains Freedom Through a Window. Given to Take a Bath and Uses His Time to Advantage. Is Permission Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 1.—A. M. ‘Willlams, a notorious blackmailer, who was confined in the County Jail await- ing trial in the United States Court on a charge of using the mails for fraudu- lent purposes, made a remarkable es- cape from the jail at 8 o’clock this af- ternoon and has so far eluded the offi- cers. Jaller Case and Deputy Marshal Pourade, who made the arrest, were in the jail at the time. Pourade was just about to start to Los Angeles with Wil- liams and another prisoner. Willlams was loose in. the corridor and asked permission to take a bath. He hung up a blanket as a screen and pulled the bars from a window, having previously filed through the wrought fron rivets. He then kicked off a wire | netting from the window and lowered himself to the ground with a rope im- provised from a blanket. Not more than ten minutes is supposed to have elapsed | from the time of his escape until it was discovered. All the officers and several hundred citizens began a search, and within. an hour Sheriff Johnson of Riverside was in the city with a pack of bloodhounds to join in the search. So many persons had in the meanwhile walked around the jail that the trail was obliterated and the dogs proved to be useless. ‘Williams is the :man who wrote dozens of letters to people all over the country enclosing small sums of money tempting them to dishonesty, and then under the guise of a detective extorted | money from his victims, BATTLE BETWEEN BRITISH AND MOORS. an Attempt to Prevent the Landing of Arms. LONDON, Feb. 1—Additional advices from Tangier confirm the first reports of the fighting between the British stéamer Toumaline and the Moroccan steamer Hassani on the Sus coast. It appears that 5000 Moorish troops were gent, in conjunction with the Hassani, to prevent the Tourmaline landing her cargo. Several Moors were killed by the Tourmaline’s force. It is reported that the Tourmaline carried 4000 Martini-Henri rifles and 400,000 cartridges, with a view of arm- ing the friendly natives. b il Orasco Arraigned for Murder. - LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.—Juan Oras- co, whose 15-year-old wife, a bride of seventeen days, was tound dead at her home on the Allen ranch, near La- manda last Tuesday, and who was ar- rested. ‘charged with her murder, was araigned to-day before Justice Rossiter t Pasadena.

Accused of Robbing a Center- ville Man With Whom He Gambled. | Captured as He Was About to Take His Departure From the City. Spectal Dispatcn to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 1.—A. L. Loewen- stein, who has been conducting a jew- elry store and pawnbroking shop on Santa Clara street, near Market, was arrested on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses this morn- ing at the broad-gauge depot as he was about to leave for the Klondike. The complainant is Sigmund Salz, a real estate and insurance agent at Center- ville, Alameda County, who alleges that Loewenstein obtained $1147 from him fraudulently. Salz came to the city on January 27 and started on a spree. He met Loe- wenstein and others and got into a dice game. He lost several hundred dollars that day. Salz returned to San Jose the following day, and in the three days lost heavily—In all $1147. He then concluded he had been robbed, and late last night he went before Justice Kirk- patrick and swore to a complaint charging Loewenstein with obtaining money uader false pretenses. Loewenstein closed his store yester- day and shipped his goods to San Francisco. When he was arrested this morning he was at the depot and was in the act of expressing.seven large dogs and two sleds to San Fran- cisco. He was taken béfore Justice Kirkpatrick and arraigned on the charge and released on a $2000 bond. His case will be heard to-morrow. This afternoon the seven dogs were attached by Salz. When taken to the jail it was found that one of the dogs was a large Newfoundland stolen from Jailer Black a couple of weeks ago. Ex-Senator Routier Injured. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.—Ex-Senator Joseph Routier, aged about 70 years, was to-day thrown from a buggy near his home, ten miles from this city, and seriously injured: One shoulder was broken and he received a severe scalp wound. If the skull was not injured, and he escaped internal injuries, both of which are possible, he will recover.

WARS ARE PRECIPITATED BY IGNORANCE ‘What Conflict With Spain Actually . Means. Information That Should Cause Jingoes to Reflect. Strength of the American and Spanish Navies Duly Compared. IS UNCLE SAM’S SUPERIOR? Hostilities Would Not Be Brief, and in Any Event Cities Would Be Laid in Ashes. Copyrighted 1898 by. James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, Feb. 1.—The Herald’s Euro- pean edition publishes the following: Lieutenant Mario Rublo Munez spoke golden words in an article written for the Spanish Illustrated E1 Mundo Naval, which the Herald reproduced. | He says: “It seems, it is, in our opinion, well to form comparative data | with other navies as the best means | of appreciating the relative value of national forces.” Wars are precipi- tated by ignorance. Had the people of France realized the preparedness of their enemies in 1870 they would probably not have shouted “A Ber- |lin” so viciferously. The Northern | States cried “On to Richmond,” and it took four years to get there. Now it is just as well for the United States to face a Spanish crisis with its eyes open. A war with Spain will not be a walk-over, nor will it be ended in a month. The data given in the Herald yesterday are very instructive. They show that Spain is also getting ready for a fight with the jingoes of both countries are doing their best to hurry on. The tables which Lieutenant Mu-' nez gives satisfies him as an naval ex- pert that Spain is not as defenseless as some people imagine. A well-armed man will put up a good fight even un- der disadvantageous circumstances and though Spain may be weaker at many points than the United States she also sees that on the other hand America too has a vulnerable side. If, therefore, war does take place, both sides will suffer. American jin- goes have decided that the United States should meddle in Spain’s do- mestic affairs, and Spanish jingoes have been egging on their Government by the very same method that. their brothers in the United States have been using. Now, if the people decide to back up this sentiment, rightly or wrongly, it is as well that their eyes should be open to what they have to fight. Spain has a navy, of which some vessels, according to one of her experts, “are absclutely superior to other for- eign antagonists. “Eloquence of figures,” he says, “should be sufficient to calm even the incredulous and pessimistic and close the mouths of those who are constantly stating that the Spanish forces are de- ficient, and of those who so freely criti- cize the resources of our country.” On the other hand American experts think that the United States navy is superior, and that it would have an easy time of it with Spain. This re- mains to be proved. What is certain is that if war does break out a few cities will be 1aid in ashes, and whether they be Cadiz or New York, Barcelona or Boston, the officer who does jt will carry off the panache of glory. WOULD NOT WED HIER BETROTHED Young Lady Opposes an At- tempt to Force Her to Marry. Saved by Priends From an Alllance Urged by Her Foster Parents. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Feb. 1.—S8everal months ago A. J. Robinson, - his wife and adopted daughter, Ida, the latter just budding into attractive womanhood, returned to Belmore, five miles from Olympla, where they had formerly re- sided, after an absence of three years in Southern California. Several weeks later. William J, Marshall, who calls himself a “California guy,” appeared upon the scene as the afflanced lpver of Miss Robinson. The whole party was headed toward the Klondike, ex- pecting to sail on the steamship Queen this week. 3 For some time the Bellmore neigh- borhood has been/more or less agitated over what has seemed to be an attempt of her foster parents to coerce Ida into a matrimonial alliance with young Marshall. The girl has been wearing an engagement ring, but refused longer to wear it. Her foster mother having attempted to compel her to wear the ring, the girl deliberately burned her finger so as to make the wearing of the ring impossible, and the neigh- bors, judging from Marshall's per- sonal appearance, are said to justify the girl in her rebellion. At this stage of the proceedings Miss Robinson appealed to Jesse Ferguson, an old and respected citizen of Olym- pia, for assistance. To him she detailed her parents’ attempt to make her marry Marshall, and said that she feared she was to be taken to Klon- dike for evil purposes, in which event she would rather dfe than go. Fer- guson sent Miss Elsie Israel to take Miss Robinson for a drive. When out of sight of the Robinson domicile they drove rapidly to Olympia, where Miss Robinson was taken charge of by Mr. Ferguson’s daughter. Yesterday, on her father's urgent re- quest, she consented to return home for one night in order to get her clothing. There she remains, while Belmore and Olympia are wondering what the out- come will be. Marshall swore dire vengeance against several persons, in- cluding Ferguson, who to-day had him bound over to keep the peace.. Being unable to furnish $300 bonds, Marshall ‘was locked up. - The best fly destroyer in the world i8 a common or garden wasp. ex- pert says that he has known one wasp 1to kill a thousand fiies in & day. a%3‘&93232888989328283328982!%%%%%E%%%n%%%%&%%%%%%%é&“ MOST DRAMATIC SCENES ATTEND PEAN'S DEATH “In an Hour I Shall Be Dead,” Said - the Famous French Sur- geon, and He Passed Away at the Moment Fixed. .

Shall the University Abolish the Degree of Master of Arts? Four Professors Say Aye, Oue Is Opposed and the Others Have Not Spoken. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PALO ALTO, Feb. 1.—The Stanford Counct], consisting of the heads of de- | partments and assoclate professors, is at present divided over a measure which even for this university in its thoroughgoing academic simplicity is considered decidedly raaical. The pro- posal comes from the committee or graduation, in the shape of a recom- mendation urging strongly that the de- gree of Master of Arts shall be abol- ished. The majority report was signed by Professors Elliott, Jenkins and Has- kins. A minority report presenting the reasons why such a degree should Dbe retained at Stanford was handed in by the remaining member of the commit- tee, Professor Pease. The question vzas voted on to-day and the vote was a tie. The opinions of the nine absent professors will be obtained before Thursday, when the question will be finally decided. The majority of the graduation com- mittee contends that the Master's de- gree has the least significance of any of the academic degrees and is least uniform in its requirements through- out the universities. It is held to be a purely honorary degree, historically, and for all practical purposes obsolete. Another argument against it is that it does not stand for the well-defined academic ideas represented by the de- grees of bachefor of arts and doctor of hilosophy. 5 Thosep w?ho favored retaining the de- gree felt that its abolition would drive many graduate students from Stanford and work a great injustice. The popu- larity of the degree and its intrinsic or commercial value were considerations in its favor. To them it represeénted the award for original research and for this reason should not be done away with. Of the colleges in this country Johns Hopkins is the only one that has, up to this time, put an end to the master’s degree. Z The council decided that summer work done at another college or on the outside will. not receive more than six hours’.university credit and will have to be approved of by the faculty before undertaken. Examinations will have to be taken in the work so done within one month after the student re-enters the uni- versity. This action was taken more to anticipate the rush of petitions for outside wofk now that the summer school at Stanford has been abolished than to correct any existing abuse. The entrance requirement known as Eng- lish A, which covers the regular prepa- tory work in English poetry, drama and prose, was made optional instead of compulsory for full university standing. Only those students who have worked during their whole course—and they are many—to remove such a de- ficlency in standing can appreciate the full import of this move. .

Engineer Prevents the Coaches From Following the Locomotive. Fireman Iler Is Slightly Bruised, but the Passengers Escape Injury. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.—The engine of Southern Pacific train No. 17, which | left San Francisco at 4:30 p. m. yester- day, was ditched about two miles south of Ravenna this morning at 11:20 o'clock, but, aside from a few | superficial bruises sustained by Fire- man Iler, no one was injured. The train was running at the rate of about twenty miles an hour, and, while rounding a sharp curve on an embank- ment in the Soledad Canyon between Ravenna and Lang, the forward trucks of the locomotive left the track. ‘With remarkable quickness and pres- ence of mind Engineer Ferguson ap- plied the air brakes and brought the cars to a sudden stop, but the engine and tender broke from the coupling and rolled down the embankment a distance of forty feet. Just before reaching the foot of the embankment the engine turned bot- tom side up, and Engineer Ferguson, who had stuck to his post, was thrown through the cab window a distagce of thirty feet, and landed on his head in a heap of sand. Aside from a severe shaking up he was uninjured. Fireman Iler was engaged in clean- ing the bell of the locomotive when the accident occurred, and immediately jumped. He rolled down the em- bankment and was somewhat bruised and scratched in his rapid descent. The passengers expressed their grati- tude to Engineer Ferguson, whose time- ly action in applying the brakes pre- vented a serfous disaster, and in recog- nition of his bravery a sum of money was subscribed, which will be used in the purchase of a token of their ap- preciation. A purse was also made up for Fireman Iler. A wrecking train was dispatched from this city to the scene of the acci- dent, and the train is expected to arrive {nere about 2 o'clock to-morrow morn- ng.

Possessors of Certificates Not Likely to Realize Re- turns. Threaten to Sue Capitalists Who Per= mitted Use of Their Names by the Organization. Spezial Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.—The Bank- ers’ Alliance of California, a life insur- ance corporation doing business throughout California, has gone to the wall, and many dupes who were certi- ficate holders will suffer financial loss. The Bankers’ Alliance was organized in 1888 under the California law gov- erning assessment and fraternal organ- izations. It had no capital, but was run on an assesment plan. The Bankers’ Alliance secured the indorsement of a number of local bank- ers throughout Southern California by various and sundry means, interest- ing them as directors, officers and agents. Among others General E. P. Johnson, Dr. W. G. Cochran, F. C. Howes, Dr. H. H. Maynard, W. F. Bosbyshell and G. B. Shaffer, all promi- nent business men and bankers, were interested in the Alliance. The cor- poration branched out and did a large business all through California, par- ticularly in Los Angeles and San Fran- cisco. Finally, about a year ago, the struc- ture commenced to crumble and those who had been so prominently inter- ested began to drop out. The decay had set in and it could not be stopped, and now the officials have asked that a receiver be appointed to wind up the affairs of the company. The outstanding liabilities in the way of accrued death claims are $120,000. The holders of certificates in the Bank- ers’ Alltance are offered certificates in a Chicago concern of similar repute. A great many, however, will suffer, for there were numerous clerks and mid- dle-class people who had certificates in the alliance that they had kept up for a long period of years. They are out every dollar they put in. Some of the certificate-holders who claim they have been duped are com- plaining bitterly of what they term the misrepresentation upon which they were persuaded to put their money into the Bankers‘ Alliance. A great many of those bankers and capitalists who permitted their names to be used as officers of the corporation to get busi- ness for the Alliance, but who with- drew before the crash came, may be made parties defendant by some of the duped certificate-holders, who are advised that they can recover the | money they have put in as against the '| officers of the defunct corporation.
