ASTORIA, Or.,, Feb. 7.—The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamship eorge W.

The first | trouble occurred just as the Elder was | about to leave the dock in Portland on | Saturday night.

This provoked the employes in the engineer’s department and they struck.

The army officers were given the best staterooms on the ship, but the men were left un- til the last, and when it came time to allot them quarters it was found there were none for them._The only thing that could be done was to swifig bunks for them in the small space below decks in the prow of the ship, 25x20 feet, and separated from fifty horses and twenty dogs only by a few bales of hay, and where the air was foul and unbearable. The men complained to their sergeant, who explained the situation to the cap- tain, who in turn laid the matter be- fore the captain of the ship. That offi- cer said he could do nothing. Upon receiving this reply the soldiers held a meeting. Much excitement pre- vailed, as by this time other passen- gers learned the facts and a committee examined the quarters, pronouncing them unfit for any human habitation, much less for Uncle Sam’s troops. On the last trip of the Elder two dogs were smothered to death in the same place and many horses were in such condition that they were unfit for work. The army surgeon condemned the quarters as unhealthy. The men then passed a resolution to abandon the ship on ar- rival at Astoria and so notified Captain Eldridge, stating that their action must not be taken as a desertion from the army. The army officers held a con- sultation, but saw no way out of the difficulty. One of the passengers offered his services, backed by all the cabin passenger: kle, propo tea to saloon. Captain Hinkle was equal to the emergency, and while exceeding his authority in associating second-class passengers with first class consented to ing that the soldiers be per- leep on the floor of the main ] the arrangement and thus a disastrous | delay to the Government's relief expe- dition was averted. Just before the Elder left Portland a number of passengers presented tickets | for passage which were dishonored by | the steamer. They had been purchased in Chicago of the Chicago Ice and Transportation Company at a cost of $200 each and bore coupons reading “From Portland to Dyea.” The steam- ship people said they had not been con- sulted by the Chicago company and had made no arrangements to carr; sengers. The people are very ig- nant and believe they have been de- frauded by Chicago sharpers. Many of them have no means to buy other tickets. To Register the Zealandia. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—A bill was In- troduced in the House to-day admitting to American register the steamship Zea- landia, owned by the Oceanic Steai ip Company of San Francisco, on showing that she is capable of being converted into an armed cruiser, suitable as a part of the naval reserve. The bill was intro- duced by Mr. Loud.

Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—A Washington special to the Herald says: There is a decided sentiment in Congress i favor of retaliation against Germany if offi- cial information should confirm the re- ports that have been cabled as to the recent action of the German Govern- ment in excluding American fruits and horses - from German markets. ‘With a view to obtaininz official in- formation, Willlam Alden Smith of Michigan, one of the members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to-day | introduced in the House a resolutior | asking the President to send to the | House the correspondence between the State Department and the American | Embassador at Berlin regarding the alleged adulteration of German wines and regarding the discrimination by the German Government against Amer- ican exports of beef, fruits and horses. Should any retaliatory legislation be | brought forward it would come through | the Committee on Ways and Means, | and the subject has been occupying the attention of the members of that com- | mittee. Members of the committee have been talking the situation over infor- mally and exchanging views as to the action which ought to be taken. Some of them favor leaving the whole subject to the executive branch of the Govern- ment and trust to the President to take suitable action under the provision | of the law of 1890, which authorizes him | to retaliate against any country which | discriminates against American pro- | ducts by excluding any products of that country from the United States. | Other members of the committee favor | legislation to meet this particular case in the way of imposition of higher du- ties on articles coming from countries which discriminate against the United States or refuse to admit American products, either directly or indirectly, by the establishment® of decrees and regulations intended to exclude such products. American lumber is now subject to discrimination at the hands of the Prussian Government, according to the report of the United States Consul at Bremen, Mr. Keenan. The Consul transmits the complaints of a number of lumber dealers against what they regard as discriminating charges against the carriage of American pitch | pine by Prussian railways. This pitch | pine is listed as class 1 at higher rate | than class 2, on which is listed similar | wood from Sweden, Norway and other countries. It is also said that Ameri- can pitch pine is allowed to go at a lewer rate if the officials do not know where it originates. The tradz is con- siderable, and this Prussian railway is the only means by which wood can be taken into the interior, so the discrim- ination is keenly felt, says the Consul.

Becoming More Nervous as the Hour of Arraignment Approaches. SORROW OF A BROTHER. Thomas Belew Visits the Prison to See the Fiend for the Last Time. Special Dispatch to The Call. SUISUN, Feb. 7.—Frank Belew went to pieces this morning, in spite of the fact that he had apparently been grow- ing stronger ever since his confession. He said to-day that he had been im- posed upon by those who induced him to tell the story of his crime, as they had led him to believe all his friends had deserted him and that his attor- neys had given up the case as hopeless. When seen at the jail, the prisoner was pale and nervous, trembling as if he had a chill. At 1 o’clock he was led, accompanied by several deputy sheriffs, to the jus- tice’s office, where the complaint dgainst him was read. He was advised that he was not obliged to make any statements and that he had a legal right to be aided by an attorney. He accepted the information meekly, stat- ing that he was aware of his rights and that he had no objection if the pre- liminary examination were set for to- morrow. He was of the opinion that he ought to plead guilty and ask the mer- cy of the court. It would simplify the work of the District Attorney if this course were pursued. He will, how- ever, plead not guilty and rely upon a technical defense. Belew was seen several times this af- ternoon and to-night. He was far more cheerful than he had been before since his arrest, and he refused to discuss his crime. By far the most pathetic scene of the day was when Thomas Belew vis- ited the jail this afternoon. - “Did you kill dear Susie and Louis?"” he asked amid sobs soon after he visited the cell. “I did it and I cannot tell why I did | it,” was the reply. “Then good by, brother,” was the dramatic answer, as he grasped the trembling prisoner by the hand. Sud- denly throwing out the palms of both | hands, as if to wave Frank away, Thomas finally exclaimed in the very storm of grief and despair: “Good by, for I'll never see you again.” Sheriff Rush met him at the door of the jail and said: “I hope you will recall this and come again, for the poor devil needs some one to brace him up.” Thomas hurried away, making no response. Belew is afraid to be alone. Though he seems firm to-night in the deter- mination to plead not guilty and abide by the result, there is no certainty that he will stand by the determination. CHRIS VON DER AE KIDNAPED Stolen Bodily in St. Louis by an Officer Sent From Pittsburg. Special Dispatch to The Call. PITTSBURG, Feb. 7.—The Pittsburg Dispatch this morning contains the fol- lowing telegram from a staff correspond- ent, dated St. Louis, Mo.: Chris von der Ahe, the baseball magnate, was taken into custody here last evening by a Pitts- burg detective. The most unique char- acter in the sporting world was really kidnapéd and is now on his way to the Smoky City, where his body may be held fo¥ an Ingnite period on & judgment given by the courts in the suit brought by Mark E. Baldwin, the baseball pitcher. The kidnaping of Mr. von der Ahe, for it is such in the true meaning of the word, will no doubt create a big sensa- tion. He was decoyed to the St. Nicholas Hotel by means of strategy, where he was hustled into a carriage, after being shown the bail piece carried by Detective Nichols Bendel. The carriage was driven around aimlessly until it was fime to board a train for the East. Then he was shoved into it and is now on his way to Pittsburg, where he will either have to make good the judgment of $2500 rendered against him in the Bgldwln case or re- main in jail until such time as William A. Nimick, who was on his bond when the first arrest on the charge preferred by Pitcher Baldwin was made, is satis- fied. The kidnaping party has been heard from, and is well on its way to Pittsburg. SEp GENERAL COCHRANE DEAD. Was a Well-Known Soldier and Later On a Politician. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—General John H. Cochrane died to-night at his home in this city. A General Cochrane was an old-time sol- dier, a member of the Loyal Legion and several other military orders. On July 17, 1864, while with the army of the Potomac, he was made brigadier-general. In 1844 he was nominated for Vice-. dent of the United States on the Independent Re- publican ticket, Geneial J. C. Fremont being the candidate for President. Gene- ral Cochrane also served as Attorney- General of the State of New York, as resident of the New York Aldermanic oard, and in 1889 was appointed to a olice justiceship. One of the most nota- Ele things in his career was his selection to fill the unexpired term for Mayor of New York City at the time of the retire- ment of Oakey Hall Death Strikes in Napa.

Testimony of the Witnesses at the Trial of Sheriff Martin and His Deputies. DEFENDANTS ‘GI VE BONDS. Nearly a Half Million Dollars Bail Furnished by a Surety Company. Special Dispatch to The Call. ‘WILKESBARRE, PA., Feb. 7.—Hun- dreds of persons anxious to hear what action Judge Woodward would take in reference to the sensational outbreak on Saturday between Attorneys Gar- man and Lenahan, opposing counsel in the Lattimer shooting case, thronged the courtroom to-day. Judge Woodward spoke of the inci- dent of Saturday, saying that after he had left the bench,and before the court adjourned, an altercation had arisen between two lawyers engaged in the trial which the court did not fully hear nor realize until he had read of it in the newspapers. “Had we heard,” said the Judge, “what was sald we should have dealt with the lawyers in 4 summary man- ner, as the affair so deserved, and if there is a repetition of it we shall pun- ish the guilty parties for contempt of court.” Then came a severe denunciation of the sensational action of certain news- papers in endeavoring, as the Judge said, to prevent justice hy an exag- geration of the facts and incidents of the trial. He would, he said, not men- tion any names at present, “‘but if the astounding falsehoods and misrepre- sentations continue the representatives of the paper will find the door of this court closed to them.” The first witness to-day was Silas Jones, Justice of the Peace of West Hazleton. He stated that he had seen the meeting of the deputies and strik- ers at West Hazleton,and had followed them into’ Lattimer. He saw Sheriff Martin advance toward them with a paper in his hand. Some of them sur- rounded him and gn altercation oc- curred, but the witness could not see exactly how the altercation took place, or how it terminated. He heard a cou- several men fall. Two who fell near him were dead. He was asked what the spectators said after the shooting, but the defense objected. After listening to all the arguments the court sustained the objection, thus shutting out the evidence. This is re- garded as an important point gained for the defense. Counsel for the defense asked the witness if he was not frightened when he saw the Sheriff surrounded by the strikers, and he replied that he was, and that owing to this fact he could not tell clearly just what happened at the moment. John Yeager, a Slav, who required an interpreter, said he had seen the depu- ties on their way to Lattimer on the day of the shocting. All were armed with rifles, but he could not see whether the Sheriff had any weapons. Just before the noon adjournment the court accepted bail for all he ac- cused deputies and the Sheriff in the amount of $6000 each, making $420,000 in all. Bail was furnished by the Phil- adelphia Surety Company. ~ ‘When court met again in the after- noon George Yeager resumed his testi- mony. He joined the strikers and marched with them to Lattimer. He described the meeting with the Sheriff, and said the Sheriff drew his revolver and pointed it at the strikers. He grabbed one of them and pulled him out from among the others, ail the time holding the pistol at his breast. Then some one shouted to shoot and the deputies fired. “‘After the first few shots,” said the witness, “there was a volley and then a number of single shots, and eleven men were killed in five minutes and lots wounded.” Upon cross-examination the witness stated that he could point out any deputy who was present at the shoot- ing, and the defendant immediately called before the witness John Hamp- ton, chief of the coal and oil police. Yeager was asked if he had seen Hampton with the deputies. “Yes,” he exclaimed, “he was in the line, and was holding his rifle this way,” and he illustrated the position. The defense will prove that Hamp- ton was not on the scene at all, but was in Hazleton at the time. Thomas Hall, clerk of the Valley Ho- tel in Hazleton at the time, testified to a conversation he had heard on the Sunday following the shooting from the lips of Deputy John Turner. Tur- ner was in the hotel, and he said, speaking of the shooting: ‘“Weall marched out to Lattimer, and as the strikers came up I heard a shot. It seemed to come' from the ranks of the strikers, and then we opened up. I shot nine of them and killed five.” The next witness was Christopher Bechen, a miner of Cranberry. Bechen said he was at West Hazleton when the strikers arrived, and that he talked with Bernheiser, one of the deputies, who wanted him to join the deputies. Bernheiser said: “Every one of those d—d strikers ought to be shot.” A few days before the shooting the witness had a talk with a deputy named Dodson, who said: “We ought to get so much a head for shooting down such strikers. I would do it for a cent a head to make money at it.” FAY WAS NOT LYNCHED. Skaguay Murderer Saved by the Action of His Friends. VICTORIA, B. C. Feb. 7.—Ed Fay, the murderer of Rowan and McGrath at Skaguay, was not hanged. His friends, headed by “Soapy” Smith, a gambler, organized and threatened to use their revolvers if Fay was hanged. Fay was, therefore, sent to Sitka. The steamer Tees, which breught this news, arrived last night, as did also the Willapa. ‘The report that Mrs. Rowan, wife of one of the murdered men, had died proves untrue. The news of the shoot- ing has thus far been kept from her. NICARAGUA ARE ACTIVE Surprise the Barracks at San Juan Del Sur. The Rivas Authorities Not Aware of the Plan Until Attacked. Five Hundred Revolutionists Are Entrenched in a Good Position CANAL TO BE PROTECTED, War Vessels of the United States ‘Will Act Promptly if Their Atd 1Is Needed. Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett. = SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, Feb. T.—Conservative refugees, who have been threatening an attack on the Government since their faflure last September, rushed through the village yesterday afternoon without the slight- est warning and surprised the bar< racks. There was one fatality on each side. The Rivas autHorities were una- ware of the refugees’ entry into Nica- raguan territory until 6 o'clock. A de- tachment of about 200 men was started at 7 o’clock with the hope of intercept- ing an attack in San Juan or retaking the place. They advanced to the top of the divide, about a league from here, whege they encamped with the inten- tion of attacking at daylight, scouts having reported that the revolutionists® outposts were at the foot of the hill. There were slight skirmishes yester- day, but no serious attack was made. The revolutionists, about 500 strong, are entrenched in a good position out- side of town. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—It appears from & more careful scrutiny of the news cabled to the State Department from San Jose, Costa Rica, last Satur- day that a revolution is in progress in Nicaragua and not in Costa Rica, as was at first understood. The advice came from United States Minister Mer- ry, who is now at his post in Costa Rica, where he has been received with- out difficulty, notwithstanding his re- jection py Nicaragua. The navy is un- usually well prepared to protect Ameri- can interests in Nicaragua, as well as the canal commission, having a war- ship on each coast of the country or near by. The gunboat Newport ar- rived at Port Limon yesterday, where she can be readily communicated with by cable, and the gunboat Marietta touched at Libertad, Salvador, to-day, on her way north, which will bring her on the Nicaraguan coast in the course of a day or two. | ADVERTISEMENTS. ’8388835‘3898989893?838989838283838?39989398282828382893898989589 RBOOCOOOVOTIO0PC00000000000000000000009¢ as 2o ! ss@ 5@ o 2o Lo Lo 8o 8o 8o 2o 8o XY | g0 20 3@ oty P 3 il #® =N 17 & 2 / / 2 F TR 2 \ 23 5, E S - ] e @ 3 bz 7\ ! 54 role i, af X\ RIS 8o | B S ll = A STANY ./4 7 @ q Sl RN 2 Yy = @ 2 e jf//// \S 8o 8o 86 86 36 @ o3 AND MEN PRAISE 1 b 2 M w P W o Was there ever a remedy which gave such wonderful proof of cures as Dr. ,g :‘5 Sanden’s Electric Belt?
