VS TO0NG | LAY DISAPPEARS | Miss Meta Baker Sought in Vain by Relatives and Friends. | Special Dispatch to The Call i VISALIA, Feb. 2%.—The fire bells in this | city were rung for a short time at mid- night last night. The alarm was given to summon help for the purpose of searching for Miss Meta Baker, an estimable young lady, 22 years old, who had suddenly dis- appeared from her home. Miss Baker had left home in the after- noon to go for the mail. As she did not return her mother thought she had called to see a neighbor. But when darkn came all the family became alarmed, pecially when it was found that she had not been to any of the neighbors’ houses. The young lady's brother drove out to the home of a friend in the country and a force of over fifty men went out in all directions with lanterns and remained out most of the night, but without success. This morning it was learned that a girl | answering the description of Miss Baker had purchased a ticket for San Ffincisco d had gone north on the Valley road | senger train that leaves here about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. She had no bag- | gage, no grip and not even a wrap. Of- ficers in Stockton and San Francisco were | notified of her disappearance and this | afternoon her brother boarded a train for Stoc¢kton In search of his sister. | Miss Baker never exhibited any desira | to leave home before. Her parents can tve no reason for this action. She- has een in il health for about a year, and it is thought she left while suffering from | a fit of mental aberration. She Is” small | of stature and looks younger than she | really is. She taught school in Iowa be- | fore coming here with her mother two | years ago. Her sudden disappearance has caused a profound sensation and great | sympathy is expressed for the afflicted | family. | Whén the disappearance of Miss Baker | was reported at police headquarters in | this city it was intimated that the young lady had been mentally deranged for | many months past. Captain Bohen has | iven instructions that a strict watch be | ept for the missing woman, but as yet | no special detectives have been detafled | on the case. It is the general supposition | that Miss Baker has gone to Stockton. FITZSIMMONS SAYS HE WILL MEET MCOY. CLEVELAND, Feb. 26.—Champion Bob | Fitzsimmons expresses a willingness to fight Kid McCoy.

Speaks of That Body as Combination of Blatherskites. a Organ of the “ Gang” Vitupera- tive in Discussing the Campaign. TRIES TO FOMENT STRIFE, Efforts to Create Discord in the| Organization Fail of Their Purpose. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 26.—That the ticket selected by the New Charter Club is an exceedingly strong one and virtually invincible is shown by the attitude as- sumed toward it by the Mercury, the | acknowledged organ of the ‘‘gang.” While perfectly willing to wound, it dare not strike any one of the gentle- men who have been made part of the city ticket by the friends of the new charter and of good government. By | reason of the known probity and abil- | ity of each and every one of | the candidates named the Mer- cury has been forced into a position where it must put up men of straw as a target for its peculiar style of men- dacious warfare. For the past two days it has devoted columns to vilifying certain individ- uals who have long been lending ef- ficient aid to the cause of good govern- ment, but who have not been nor have sought to be leaders, as the organ of | the gang has endeavored to make the | people believe. It has also brought into | the fight the name of at least one | person who is not a member of the New Charter Club at all, and has thereby hoped to bring discredit on that organization. It has also, by in- nuendo and indirection attacked the New Charter Club as a whole by mak- ing deliberate misstatements concern- ing it. But throughout its many col- umns of unfair criticism and malicious abuse it has not had the temerity to assail a single one of the candidates named by the New Charter Club. No one who understands the relations | existing between the *“gang” and the | Mercury under its present management | is in any degree surprised at the stand | the newspaper has taken. Had it taken any other course than opposition to | the good government movement there | would have been cause for wonderment | Y e people of San Jose. D e ia one_thing to be said in fa- | vor of the Mercury—people always | know where it will stand when there is an issue up in which the “gang” is | interested. In the course of an article to-day the ‘‘gang’’ organ says: “Many of the members of the New | Charter Club either live in the suburbs or outside of the city.” | This is denied by the president of the | club. It is true that three members are not actual residents within the| present limits of the city of San Jose, | but they hope that under the admin- istration of the officers who will be elected through the efforts of the New Charter Club and kindred organizations | there will soon be a Greater San Jose, | and that they will be residents within | its boundaries. At one point in this same article the feeling of bitter animosity toward the | New Charter Club is manifested by a | reference to that organization as a| “combination of political blather- skites.” The Mercury is doing all in its power to foment trouble and discord among the members of the New Charter Club and between that organization and oth- er bodies which are working in co-op- eration with it, but up to the present time its efforts are without success and without hope of success. All that it has accomplished has been to impress upon the people at large the strength of the New Charter Club ticket, and to announce to the public that the “gang” is “agin it.” In all its vaporings not one word has been said agaiust the honesty or integrity of any individual connetted with the New Charter Club. Petitions in the interest of the candi- dates of the New Charter Club were placed in circulation to-day. Every candidate, no matter how nominated, must file a petition with the City Clerk at least twenty days before the day of election. It is believed the New Charter Club petitions will be ready, with the necessary number of signa- tures, for filing early next week. All' citizens who have moved since the last election are being urged by the members of the New Charter Club It is now the general report that the ang” will be back of the following candidates: C. J. Martin, for Mayor; J. W. Cook, for City Clerk; J. N. Ew- ing, for City Treasurer; J. D. Miner, for Councilman-at-large. Cook and Ewing are incumbents of the respec- tive offices for which they are named. NICARAGUA BELIEVED TO | HAVE DECLARED ‘WAR. Cable Company of Panama Refuses to Accept Messages for Costa Rica. Copyrighted, 159, by James Gordon Bennett. PANAMA, Feb. 26.—The action of the cable company here, with reference to messages for Costa Rica, leads to the conclusion that war has been, or soon will be, declared between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. A notice to the public was posted yesterday, to the effect that messages for Costa Rica would be re- ceived only at the senders’ risk, in plain language and subject to censor- ship at San Juan del Sur. The cable company posted this afternoon another notice stating that no messages would be accepted for Costa Rica until fur- ther notice. The posting of this notice has caused great interest here as it is generally understood to mean that Costa Rica’s reply to the diet of the Greater Re- | public of Central America is unsatis- factory and that the relations between Nicaragua and Costa Rica have been definitely severed. This leads to the conclusion that war has been declared between the two countries, or that a formal declaration of war will be made within the next few days.

First Blows Up a Section of the Track, Then Places More Explosives. FOUND JUST IN TIME. Track-Walker Prevents a Catas- trophe and the Culprit Is Captured. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. WILLIAMS, Ariz, Feb. 26.—That section of the Santa Fe Pacific be- tween this point and Ash Fork known as the “Hill,” on which the late tunnel disasters occurred, came mnear being the scene of a frightful wreck. The de- tals, meager and unsatisfactory, have been unknown untid to-day, when the fiend who attempted to wreak his ven- geance on the railroad because he was ejected from a freight train was brought to Williams from Congress, where he was captured after a hard| chase by the Sheriff. ‘When the freight train in charge of | Conductor Low was ready to proceed westward from Crowley a boxcar pas- senger was discovered crouching be- tween the cars and was ejected from the train. As he alighted on the ground he cursed the crew and the| railroad company, avowing that he would have revenge, and had it not been for the timely arrival of thetrack walker his revenge would have been the demolition of the westbound ex- press, No. 1, which was due in fifteen minute: The track walker made the terrifying discovery that several yards of track had been blown up and that ten feet of the rail was missing and a piece over a foot in length was found fully 200 feet from the scene of the ex- plosion. There were evidences that enough dynamite had been used to| cause wholesale destruction. The sec- | tion man found two sticks of dynamite under the head of the switch stand. He flagged the train and immedi- ately reported his discovery and Sher- The Sheriff followed the culprit to Ash Fork and | thence to Jerome Junction, where he | lost him in the darkness. He was lo- cated later at Congress, where he was | arrested. The railroad is determined that he shall be punished to the full extent of the law, and besides District Attorney Clark, E. L. Doe of Flagstaff was retained as prosecuting attorney. Oscar Gibson and J. E. Jones of that place represent the defendant. Public feeling runs very high and had the fellow been captured at the time of his crime he would have fared badly at the hands of the train men their feeling at the trial. The express train was unning down . hill at the rate of fifty miles an hour and had it crashed into the break in the track, with two sticks of dynamite ready to explode when it passed over, the loss of life would have been appalling. Such a crime but a few years ago in Arizona would have been the signal for a lynching, but in these later days Jjustice is allowed to take its course. At the hearing it was shown that the vnamite used by the man was ob- tained by him from the rock blasting near Ash Fork, where he had been em- ployed a short time before. He seemed to thoroughly understand its use and evidently was prepared in case he should be thrown from a train. At the hearing he showed no feeling what- ever and did not seem to realize the extent of the crime that he had com- mitted, having the idea that he was Jjustified in his revenge. His only re- gret was that his diabolical scheme had not been successful. After the evidence was all in he was placed un- der $5000 bonds to await trial. He was escorted to the train and taken to Flagstaff. ADAMS WILL S00¥ LEARN HIS FATE Findings of the Court Martial Forwarded to the Navy Department. The Officer Detained Under Arrest on Board the Monterey at San Diego. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26.—The trial by court-martial of Lieutenant-Com- mander Charles A. Adams, executive officer of the Monterey, on the charge of intoxication was finished yesterday. The finding and decision of the court have been forwarded to Washington for approval, and it will be at least two weeks before the final result of the court-martial is known even to the of- ficers directly interested. Lieutenant-Commander Adams, who is considered a very able officer, and was popular with the crew, was acting captain of the Monterey for a day, two or three weeks ago, and while in that capacity, it is reported, he became in- toxicated. He was under the influence of liquor when Captain Clark returned to the ship, and met Captain Clark at the gangway. Captain Clark was so indignant over the flagrant conduct of Lieutenant Commander Adams that he ordered him to his room, where he has since re- mained under arrest. He will be kept under that restraint until the finding of the court is heard from at Wash- ington. Lieutenant Commander Adams was once before placed under arrest and confined to his room for intemperance. That was about four months ago, when he arrived from the East under assign- ment to the Monterey, while the moni- tor lay at Portland. He is said to have become intoxicated almost as soon as he went aboard, as a result of which indiscretion he was confined to his room. Llow. LEFT THE - VESSEL T0 SEEK AD Officer and Nine Men of La Champagne Picked Up. Report the Liner Disabled Off Newfoundland Banks. Dispatched by Their Captain to Hail Some Passing Vessel. SIX DAYS IN A LIFEBOAT. Almost Dead From Exposure When Sighted by the Steamship Rotterdam. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The Holland- American line steamer Rotterdam, from Rotterdam, arrived at quarantine to- night with third officer George Uns«; worth and nine seamen of the overdue French liner La Champagne, who were picked up from a lifeboat on Thursday, | February 24, in latitude 43.1 north, lon- | gitude 57 west. | The men when taken aboard the Rot- terdam were in a helpless cnndili()n,i having been in the ship’s lifeboat for six days and nights. . They were all more or less frostbitten. Unsworth said | that La Champagne broke her tail-end shaft on Thursday, February 17, at 5 p. m., in latitude 45: longitude 51:52. | The steamship being in a helpless con- dition Captain Perrot anchored. The | steamship was on the edge of the New- foundland banks, and, there being a possibility of her not being picked up | in her position, Captain Perrot decided to send a lifeboat in search of assist-| ance. On the morning of the 18th, the life- boat being fully provisioned, Unsworth and his crew of nine men left the ship | in the hope of intercepting some pass- ing steamship. The weather proved | tempestuous, with intense cold. A sharp lookout was kept for passing vessels, but none were seen. The crew kept to | the oars and for six days worked with | might and main, but, owing to the cold | and exposure, became wellnigh ex- hausted. On the 24th, at 1 p. m., the Rotter- dam bore down and stood by and with no little difficulty rescued all hands.

Held to His Agreement, Though the Price of the Staple Has Gone Skyward. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. FOLSOM, Feb. 26.—The meeting of the State Board of Prison Directors to- day was attended by Chairman Fitz- gerald and Members Wilkins and Ray, Director Devlin being absent from the State. D. Dierson of Sacramento ap-| peared before the board, and asked for | a modification of his contract for Ba)_'u" beans. The unexpected demand for this | commodity by reason of the Klondlke‘ excitement had rendered it almost im- | possible to procure the quantity con- tracted for, and the price at the pres- ent time had gone up to $3 25, the con- tract price being $157. The board ex- pressed sympathy for Dierson, but be- yond that he received little consolation. The board could see no way to release Dierson or to modify his contract, con- sequently he will be compelled to sup- ply the State with beans on the con- tract price. When the question of considering the | proposed hids on the contract for a new boiler to be used in comnection Wwith | the rock crusher came up, Chairman | Fitzgerald said that, as some misap- | prehension seemed to have arisen as to whether the board should make any distinction between an Eastern and| California-made boiler, he suggested that new specifications be drawn, pub- lication for bids be again made and the present bids rejected, returned to the respective bidders and not given pub- licity. The motion was carried, after which the board went into executive gession and adjourned after auditing the February claims, GATES OPENS PRISON FOR PETTY OFFENDERS. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.—The decision given by Judge Van Dyke yesterday that the Police Courts of this city are ille- gally constituted has precipitated a seri- | ous state of affairs, and will probably re- sult in a demand for a new law by the next State Legislature. The Police Judges were elected as City Justices also, and thus occupied a dual position. Yesterday they took up the criminal business of the city as City Justices when they learned that their positions as Police Judges were invalld. To-day the question of their standing as City Justices is raised. They were elected under an amendment to section 103 of the Code of Civil Pro- cedure, which provides that cities of over 15,000 inhabitants and less than 34,000 shall elect one justice, and of over 34000 and under 100,000 shall elect two justices. ‘When they were elected there had been no census taken showing the population of Los Angeles to be over 100,000, but sub- sequently a census has shown it to be over 100,000. The question now raised is whether they have been legally in office since the taking of the veasus. It is con- ceded that after their present term the city cannot have City Justices. Under the decision declaring the Police Judges illegally in office the chaingang must be done away with, a number of remns now serving sentence can be re- eased habeas corpus pi ings, and many other results of a like nature fol- | the opposition been from the point o [0LA YET HOPEFUL OF REVISION Believes Others Will Carry on the Campaign. However, He Will Take an Appeal From the Judgment. Policy of the French Govern- ment Is to Stop All Fur- ther Agitation. M. MELINE SO DECLARES. And Now His Cabinet Is Stronger Than Ever and Will Safely Meet Coming Elections. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, Feb. 26.—Zola has accepted his sentence without evincing surprise. “After all,” Zola told us journalists, “it is more logical perhaps and better as | it is. Persecution has always been the handmaid of truth.” He is not dis- couraged, and believes firmly that the campaign for revision—so hateful has | f view of this special object of ‘“revolu- tionary measures” (that is the expres- sion he uses)—will be continued by others. He has decided, however, to profit by the right of appeal against | the judgment, and if the Court of Ces- sation admits the ground, which seems doubtful in spite of the numerous points of appeal taken by the defense, all will commence over again before another court and another jury, but this cannot be done immediately, and | there is general lassitude. The need of | quiet is preached almost without dis- tinction of opinion by the greater part of the press, with the exception of | journals which can only thrive upon | agitation. ‘This sentiment has reached such a degree that the mot of the situ- ation was said on Thursday, from his chair, by the President of the Council, M. Meline, replying to the numerous | interpellations the Zola trial called forth in the Chamber. “The conclusion to deduce is that it is necessary that this should stop to- day,” cried M. Meline amid the ap- plause of the Chamber. ‘“The role of the Government will be to bring about a cessation of the agitation on the part of all and to make all accept it.” This declaration procured for the Cabinet the greatest majority it has | been able to obtain since the com- mencement of this dangerous affair, and so often brought before Parlia- ment, where it excited those violent signs you know. Meline's Cabinet is stronger than ever. It will safely meet the approach- ing elections. The arm of the War De- partment which Socialists would have liked to have employed against him has burned their hands, and the imprudent intervention of their chief, M. Jaurez, who wanted to make the witness-box of the Court of Assizes a political ros- trum, and was only saved from com- promising seriously his personal posi- tion, has taken their weapons out of their grasp. So true is this that the announcement has already been made that certain candidates who have wished to present themselves as Social- ists pure and simple must cut loose from certain compromising sections and openly adopt a more refined line of conduct. | INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The House Committee on Rivers and Harbors to-day gave a hearing to the members of the California delegation relative to the im- provement of rivers and harbors in Cali- fornia. There were present Representa- tives Loud, De Vries, Barham and Hil- born, Hugh Craig of San Francisco, State Senator Gleaves of Shasta County, and Robert T. Devlin of “Sacramento. Mr. Craig advocated an appropriation of $500,- 000 for the removal of Arch and Shag rocks in San Francisco Bay. Mr. Devlin asked the committee to insert in the bill an appropriation of $280,000 for improving Sacramento River. The other members of the delegation argued in favor of vari- ous improvements throughout the State. The committee, after the hearings, re- quested Representative de Vries to pre- pare and submit to it all engineer re- ports (State and Federal) on the pro- posed improvements of rivers in the Sac- ramento and San Joaquin Valleys. Representative Castle to-day introduced a bill providing for a new judicial cir- cuit in the State of California, to be known as the Central Judicial Circuit. The court is to be held at Fresno.
