Teachers Told That the New Charter Club Means to Discharge Them AlL Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, March 5.—Charles J. Martin, one of the alleged “indepen- dent” candidates for Mayor, has gone | into the camp of the “gang” without | reservation and without condition. His | position in the coming election is no longer a matter of doubt. In this morning's Mercury the platform on which Mr. Martin pro- fesses to stand if elected. As the plat- | appears | form reads it is above reproach. But | as the document was undoubtedly | drafted and approved by the war- horses of the “gang” before even Mr. | Martin had an idea that he needed a platform to stand on in order to catch | some of the votes of the unsophisti- | cated, it is not likely that any but the most unwary will be deceived. In justice to the people of San Jose this platform is presented in these columns as it should in candor truth appear, according to the opinion of those versed in the methods of the gang and in the local political condi- tions. No one can be found here with the hardihood to doubt that the Mercury is now being edited from the rear office of the boss. In view of this fact columns of the Mercury will be watched to see who are the men that are receiving the backing of “gang.” The indorsement of the Mer- cury will at once put the brand of the “gang” upon the individual whom it thus singles out. Charles J. Martin to- day received the indorsement of the Mercury. No means are apparently too des- picable for the gang to adopt to achieve its ends. To-day was exposed one of its peculiar political tricks. For the past few days its henchmen were busy disseminating the report that the New Charter Club candidates proposed, if elected, to remove about fifty of the schoolteachers. These gangsters went so far as to state that they had seen the list of the teachers who were to be dismissed. It has been the aim of these degraded tools of the gang to see every teacher in the schools of San Jose, and to convey to each the impression that he or she, as the case might be, had been proscribed. The ‘“gang” hopes by this to array every member of the city school department against the ticket of the New Charter Club. There is not the slightest foundation for this report, say all the members and candidates of the New Charter Club to whose attention the report was called. S. E. Smith, the Charter Club candidate for Mayor, denounced the . action of the “gang” as malicious and based upon utter falsehood. He added that even if such a course was pro- posed it would not be possible to carry it out, as the charter provides that all employes of the city departments should hold during good behavior. The civil service provisions of the new charter are looked upon as one of the chief merits of the instrument under which the city will be hereafter gov- erned. At a conference to-night of commit- tees representing three organizations allied with the good government move- ment the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That this joint committee rec- ommend the ticket nominated by the New Charter Club to our several organiza- é‘\?{m‘o?nadlllhf:lold lé\"{nur u{“m}?n 111 is the bort the entlre ticket. - 0 Teartlly sup- These organizations alone have a voting strength of not less than 1200.

THE BESSIEK REPORTED LOST | Startling Story Told by an Arrival From Alaska. Says the Steamship Has Been Wrecked and All Hands Drowned. Statement Discredited by the Master of the Vessel Which Brought Him Down. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, March 5—A passenger who arrived here to-day from Alaska on the steamship City of Seattle has informed Agent Grauman of the steam- ship Bessie K that the wreck passed by the City of Seattle north of Victo- ria, which was reported last night, had all the appearance of being the Bessie K, which is seven days overdue. The wreck lies on the rocks 100 miles north of Victoria, and there are no indica- tions of any survivors. The Bessie K was owned by J. S. Kimball & Co. of San Francisco, and left that port for Alaska with a heavy load of freight and passengers. She had a capacity of 100 passengers and 200 tons of freight, and was scheduled to leave here for Dyea on March 1. She is supposed to have been wrecked on her voyage south, having been in the track of the late disastrous storm that swept the northern coast. So con- fident is Agent Grauman that she is lost that he has arranged to send the passengers booked for her next trip north on the Navarro. Owing to the fact that the Bessie K was coming south, it cannot be learned at present how many passengers she was carrying. A letter received from Juneau, Alaska, to-day says the steam schooner ‘Whitelaw, which ran ashore four miles from Juneau, is still on the sandbar. The Whitelaw was left in shallow water and careened at an angle of about 30 degrees. She is likely to draw off the beach on March 8 when the waters reach high lines in the channel. TACOMA, March 5.—President Wal- lace and officers of the steamship City of Seattle know absolutely nothing of the loss of the steamship Bessie K, and heard nothing of it on the way down. COLLECTS TOLLS FROM STAGE PASSENGERS. Lone Highwayman Holds Up the Santa Barbara-Los Olivos Coach. SANTA BARBARA, March 5—The stage running between here and Los Oli- vos was held up this morning by a lone highwayman eight miles this side of Los Olivos. The horses were climbing a small grade. When near the top a voice called out, “Halt!"" and before the driver could take in the situation he was covered by two revolvers held by a small-sized man, who stood at the side of the road with a gunnysack over his head. The robber took $10 from the passengers. The Sheriff has sent two men to the scene of the ‘holdup. ADVERTISEMENTS.

CHARLES J. MARTIN'S PLATFORM I keenly appreclate the fact that an emergency has arisen in this city which demands that the gang—under obligations to no political party, force or influence, and unallied with any individual, clique or corporation—irrespective of their individual political affiliations, and regardless of the sacrifice of time and personal inclinations which such action involves, step to the front and assume the responsibility of man- aging the affairs of the municipality, to the end that official extrava- gance and corruption may be maintained, and that the local govern- ment may be administered along the lines of dishonesty and extrava- First—I believe that every contract for municipal supplies, chinery or material of whatever nature should be let to the highest Second—I do not believe that the officials of San Jose should conduct % the business of thecity in the same way they would carry on their own private business, exercising similar judgment, discretion and econ- omy, or their opportunities for boodling would be gone.

Twice Wounds the Officer Who Succeeded.to His Com- mand. Esterhazy’s Challenge to the Victor of | the Combat Treated Con- temptuously. Copyrighted, 1595, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, March 5.—As foreshadowed in my dispatch yesterday, the duel be- tween Lieutenant-Colonel Henry and ex-Lieutenant-Colonel Picquart came off this morning in the riding school of I’'Ecole Militaire. Only the seconds and | surgeons were present, sentries being | posted at the entrances of the school. | The encounter was conducted wlth'j energy, but with great courtesy on| both sides. Neither allowed his face to betray emotion. ‘The combatants kept at close quarters, their swords being crossed to the extent of one- third of the blades as in a fencing bout, whereas in most Parisian duels the swords only a little more than touch. Both stood their ground throughout during the first bput. After a thrust from Colonel Henry, which grazed his adversary's neck, the director of the combat stopped the contest, supposing Colonel Picquart had been touched. A surgeon’s exami- nation showed that he had not been wounded and the encounter was re- sumed. In the second bout, which was ex- tremely warm, Colonel Henry received his adversary's good point in his arm. The combat was again stopped and the surgeons turned up the sleeve of Colonel Henry's shirt. They found that Colonel Picquart’s rapier had inflicted a deep wound in the elbow, which, be- sides being very painful, paralyzed two fingers. At the same time the surgeons discovered a second wound, very slight, on the inner side of his right forearm, which Colonel Henry in the heat of the encounter had not noticed. The duel was at an end. The com- batants dressed and separated with a formal salutation, not shaking hands. There now remains the Esterhazy challenge. The Figaro announced that Colonel Picquart refused to receive Ma- jor Esterhazy’'s seconds. The Aurore will to-morrow publish a letter dated March 5 and addressed to Major Ester- | hazy's seconds, in which Colonel Pic- quart says: “I have the honor to inform you that it is impossible for me to appoint sec- onds for the affair which was the ob- Ject of your two letters yesterday.” VICTORY FOR THE SPORTS. Failure to Convict the Seconds of McCoy and Burley. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 5.—*Billy"” Layton ana “Jack” Grace, seconds, re- spectively, for Kid McCoy and Nick Bur- ley, were arrested here to-day on war- rants issued at the instance of Sheriff Houpt, charging them with aiding and abetting a prize fight. They were tried this afternoon before Justice AWord by a jury. A large number of witnesses were examined. The purpose of the prosecu- tion was to first show that a prize fight had taken place and then to connect Lay- ton and Grace with it. The proof was that a glove contest, such as have been frequently pulled off here without inter- ference from .he authorities, had taken place. The State failed completelv to make out a case and a verdict of acquit- tal was promptly returned by the jury. ‘Warrants are out for McCov and Bur- ley, but it is not probable that they will be served, since they both left the city last night. MICHAEL AT ST. LOUIS. S§T. LOUIS, March 5—The' initial ap- pearance of “Jimmy” Michael, the “Welsh Rarebit,” in St. Louis packed the Coliseum to-night. In his five-mile race against time he was paced by tandems, and at times it seemed that he would forge ahead of his pacers. He made the five miles in 10:41, and left the track ap- parently as fresh as before the race. Jay Eaton won the mile open profes- slonal race, with Al. Newhouse second. Time, 2:10 4-5.

Has the Support of His Father in a Feud Begun Long Ago. Special Dispatch to The Call. SALINAS, March 5.—The Cudiford by a jury in the Superior Court of Monterey County, is indeed a puzzling one. The jurors have been deliberating for over twenty-four hours, but cannot reach a verdict. The facts leading up to the arrest of Arthur Cudiford, charged by hisbrother with firing the latter’s barn near Brad- ley, prove that a feud has existed in the Cudiford family for some time. Two sisters and one brother against the father and son seemed to be the way they were divided at the trial, and all through the case this alignment was more foreibly brought out as different members of the family were put upon the stand to testify. James Cudiford, the father of seven children, came to California in ’49, sail- ing around the Horn. He went direct to Tuolumne County, where he was en- gaged in mining until 1858. He then went to the Hawaiian Islands and en- gaged In the mercantile business. In 1865 he married a half-breed Kanaka. Cudiford was not very happy after his marriage, and he and his Hawailan wife never agreed. Seven children were born, however, before the couple finally separated. The youngest child, a girl, who gave the most damaging testi- mony against her brother at the trial, was only two years old whenthe mother left the family roof in Hawaii. This was at a time when the children were sick with typhoid fever. During this illness two died. In.1886 Mr. Cudiford removed his family to this State and settled in the lower end of this county. He had con- slderable money, and gave his children’. a good education, but there were al- ways family quarrels, the last one oc- curring in November. A young Spaniard was paying atten- tions to the youngest daughter. The father and Arthur Cudiford objected, and the other children, two of whom were already married, favored the girl. As a result there was a separation, the young girl going to one brother and the father and elder brother remaining to- gether. Their ranches were adjoining and the quarreling continued. One night soon after one of these disputes young Cudi- ford’s barn was burned.

Aftermak- ing this explanation to Mrs. McCutch- eon, the matron of the hospital, he add- ed: “Oh, it's nice here, but I am very sick.” Then he became unconscious. During the night he died. Physicians believe the cause of the man’s death was spinal meningitis. con- tracted on the trail. This is substanti- ated by Witter's diary, which details his sufferings. He went north with a Portland friend named Gieger and Charles Rigby of San Francisco. On the first night out of Skaguay their beds were made upon the snow, Wit- ter mentioning particularly that he missed a mattress. He caught a severe cold, and the next day was sick. Rig- by returned to Skaguay and procured more bedding for him. He got some better, and their packing was contin- ued. Soon he was complaining, and be- came so ill that all agreed he should return home. ‘Witter's face bore evidence of intense suffering when he reached the hospi- tal, and his head especially pained him. His pockets contained letters addressed to his wife, Mrs. Rigby and to Mrs. Geiger. Mr: cCutcheon wired to Mrs. Witter, 0 replied thatshe would come at once if needed, and requested that her husband write to her daily. Witter never received the message, as he was unconscious when it came. His wife was informed of his death, and wired that she would start from Rio Del, Humboldt County, to-night for San Francisco, where she will board a train noon an excursion will be run to Bo- | for Tacoma.
