These men came out in two parties, having left Dawson on Febru- March 9. g ary 7. They bring news of the discov- ery of rich placer grounds on Walsh Creek, a short distance down the Yu- kon from the big Salmon River. Pros- pective Klondikers who were caught in the ice at the mouth of this river and were compelled to winter there made the strike. In aking of the rich find on Walsh C Willham H. Kier- nan said to The Call correspondent this evening: “We reached the quarters of the Ca- nadian police at_the mouth of Big Sal- River on February 21. We found v one much excited over the newly er fields on a creek a | down the Yukon from the 3 almon. It had been fter Major Walsh A number o mout named V of the C prospective Klondik ed down the Yukon very late in the | season were caught in the ice near the | Big Sa . They were compelled to g0 | into winter quarters and put in the time that hung so heavily on their hands prospecting the streams in the neigh- | borhood. Nothing of value was found | until the new creek was tried. The first dirt panned ran cents to the pan| and from that up to 75 cents. They have got nowhere near the pay streak yet, and the prospects are glowing. Seventy-five cents a pan for almost surface dirt is wonderful if the placer ground is of any extent. Thirty-two men had located claims up to the time | we reached the headquarters of the | Canadian police. These claims are | the regulation 100 feet, and all seem | to show up well. The creek runs back | from the Yukon about twenty miles.” | Chris Solid of Colfax, Wis., gives the following statement of the scurvy epi demic in the Klondike country. It is considered a conservative one by the other members of the party: who had start- “When we left Dawson there were between thirty and forty cases of scurvy in the Catholic hospital there. How many men are sick with the terrible disease In their at Dawson and up is hard to say. The num- ber is large, however, and some of the men are ve sick. They cannot well be moved from their cabins in the out- lying creeks to the hospital. All of the bad cases near Dawson have been taken to the'hospital, however. A num- ber are sick there, but the bad enough to go to the Catholic auth whether he ha doing noble wor sonally of any scurvy. “There is absolutely no need of any one at Dawson getting the scurvy. I could live there a lifetime and never be troubled with it. After a few years | in the interfor country men get care- less as to the variety and preparation of their food. This causes the whole trouble. Some of the old Yukoners have been living on little else this win- ter than bacon, beans and bread. They cook them in a hurry and in very un- clean fashion. They don’t seem to care for a variety of food. They could get it If they wanted it. The old Yukoners are the chief sufferers. A very few of the new comers are sick. They are too full of life and work hard, while the | old timers lie around their cabins and do no more work than enough to keep | them in bacon and beans.” In speaking of the food question Mr. Solid said: “To illustrate the change in the pro- vision situation at Dawson I will tell you my experiences. I expected to stay in the country all winter and stocked up well with supplies. Some I pur- chased last fall and when I sold my | supply just before coming out I lost heavily. I bought three sacks of flour in the fall for $300. Just before leaving I sold two sacks for $90, and had hari work to find a buyer. I sold a case of desiccated potatoes for $30—just what I paid for it after the boat arrived in the summer, Canned goods, for which I paid $1 50 a can, went begging at $1. At the stores vou can get butter, milk, etc., in small quantities at regular sum- mer prices.” B The returning Klondikers report that the trip up the river was a hard one, and all of the parties had difficulty in gntting past Thirty Mile Creek, Sev- | eral of the members were slightly | trozen. | Another story of a fabulous find is brought down by L. E. Brant. He reports that shortly before his party | Jeft Dawson a considerable exodus had set in to Rosebud Creek. This location is about fifty miles above Dawson and four miles from Sixty-Mile Creek. The story that first caused the excitement early in January was to the effect that & party of men prospecting the Upper Yukon found gold from the start on Rosebud Creek. They took out dirt that ran from $4 to $10 a pan. The news soon spread, and already a num- ber of claims have been staked and cabins built on Rosebud.

Immediately after the crime was | committed Wayne skipped. Cards were sent out to Sheriffs all over the | United States, but without any result. Finally Sheriff Purvis of Stanislaus County learned that Wayne had a brother living in that vicinity. A few | monthe ago Wayne's brother left Stan- | islaus County, moving to Contra Costa, | and rented what was once the Salva- 's refuge for criminals, “The | Golden Gate Farm.” Purvis notified Sheriff Veale to be on the lookout, as he expected that the murderer would | probably show up at his brother’s soon. | Sheriff Veale and Deputy Sheri Jones visited the vicinity of the Golden Gate Farm, but nothing was seen of | the much-wanted men. Yesterday | morning, however, Deputy Sheriff Jones | went to the Wayne place, and as he was driving through the ranch came | across the criminal.

Returning to town, Sheriff Purvis was notified and came to Martinez on the evening train from Modesto. Accompanied by several offi- cers, all went to the Wayne house in | the evening, and when the occupants | were aroused Sherifft Purvis said to ‘Wayne's brother: “I want Jo; I know he is here.” “Yes,” answered the brother; ‘“and | he will go with you without any trou- | ble.” In a few moments Jo rushed rlo“‘n‘ stairs with a Bible in his hand. “Here | I al you can take me,” said the mur- | derer. “I killed the fellow, but it was unintentional.

Gradual Widening of the Breach Between Ledislature and Cabinet. " Special Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, March 1.—The Legis- lature now in session is proving itself a very refractory and inquisitive body. | The bitterness against the personnel of the ministry, so openly exhibited by both branches of the Legislature, pro- ceeds from their own partisans. It is the gradual disintegration of the An- nexation party itself, and the formation of an opposition party within its own ranks, which, as the evening organ of the rabid annexationists firmly and clearly pointed out, will eventually lead, unless annexation is accomplished dur- ing the present session of Congress, to the destruction of the Annexation | party—which it admits is rapidly di- | minishing—the strengthening of the | Royalists and restoration of the mon- | archy with the chance of civil strife. | Inthe event of non-arnexation at once the hope of the “family compact,” {as it is here named, and the radical | wing of the annexationists is that local | disturbances will be created by their ifact(on in the ranks of the military, | who fear an economical reduction of the |armed mainstay of the Government, ne- | cessitating an appeal to the ever ready | and willing American Minister to fol- | low in the footsteps of his deceased | predecessor, Minjster J. L. Stevens, and | to hoist the American flag over the | Government bufldings, where it is as- | sumed it will thenceforth permanently | remain. | The situation is further complicated | by Senator Cecil Brown having reintro- | duced the famous opium licensing bill, the signing of which was one of the principal indictments against Queen | Liliuokalani and one of the excuses for overturning the throne. He not only | introduced it, but carried it to first | reading and reference to a committee. Another political firebrand has been thrown into the situation by a mani- | festo from Theodore H. Davies, who is | on the eve of returning to Englapd. It | is addressed especially to the Hawatian | people and advises them to give up all hopes of thearestoration of the mon. archy and to unite in an effort to main- tain the independence of the country under republican institutions. This is exactly what the annexation. ists fear they will do, for with a vote | of from twelve to fourteen thousand at the next election the political factors of the Asiatic loving planters and the “family compact” will be snowed under into political oblivion, for one presiden- tial term of six years at least. Mr. Davies' address is as follows: | To the Hawailan People—My Dear Friends: For forty years the Hawalians have been my friends, and I have always striven to deserve their confidénce. It is for this reason that I feel it to be my duty to-day to say a few words on you? political situation. Fiv: ears ago a cruel blow fell upcn Hawali. Many {wrsnns were. blamed for what oc Jut no_one ever accused the Haw »eople themselves of hav- ilan ing caused their disaster, I want to tell you, Hawallans, that 1 belleve everyone admires the noble, patient way in wiich | you have borne the distress of the past years. You have shown that you can be trusted as a nation, and that the true atriotism that makes heroes Is in your earts. It is not my intention to say any- thing as to the origin of these trcubles; 1 will only state what appears to me to be the present position, and then I will say a few words about the coursc which I think it would be prudent and possible to _pursue. Two things happened in January, 1883: 1. The Queen was dethroned. 2. The United States was asked to an- nex Hawaii, and so to put an eid to your national independence, The Gethronement of the Quesn brought sorrow to very many of your jearts; but when the republic was recoguzed by all foreign Governments, it beeagie the only Government of Hawali, just @8 & republic i now the only Government ) France. But there was something Which was more importait to you even than chang- ing from a monarchy to a republic, and | that was the proposal to chadge your own | flag for a foreign flag. : If the \‘nm-f States shall accept the offer which has been made © that nation then the Hawalian flag #ill be taken away and the American flag will take its place, and you will have to _accept the situation. But if the United States shall refuse the offer then you Will have to consider what is the wise tiing for you to do. If I can help you to tink I shall be very glad to be of use to yel. In the first place, the Hawalians and the foreigners must be frisnds and work together.” Do not think t«@ much about what has happened, but let us all do the best for the future. Man) of you would like to get the monarchy back; but you cannot do so because most Of the foreign- ers would oppose you, aud neither the United States nor any otler Government can take any steps to restore the mon- archy, because, as 1 ssd, they have recognized the republie, 3ut if we work faichfully together I believe that you can keep your independence and keep vour Hawailan flag and be a lappy and pros- perous nation. There are many foregners who will still want annexation bu I think there are more who do not want annexation, but most of these do not want the mon- archy again. Now, if (h%flnwsllans are willing to accept ‘the reublic, on con- ditlon that the foreigners Will give up an- nexation and_that all saall have votes and be friends, 1 believ@ that we could stop all the quarrels @nd have peace again, and that Queen Jlluokalani would come’ back and live a happy, dignified life, as Princess Kaiulad is doing, among her own people. 1 tell fou plainly that if you cannot consent s this plan I am | Yery much afraid you will lose your in- dependence in a short tme, if not now. am very sorry to 0se the mon y, because it was the hisorical Government of the country, although tfere were many faults under ‘the monarchy, and it sadly needed reforming. But itis now too late to reform, and you must recognize the fact that the monarchy has been over- turned. Therefore 1 coms to you like a doctor who says: “I cfa perhaps save your life if you will let/ne cut off your arm.” So I say: “You f&l’hflpl save your independence if yoB will give up the monarchy.” And if you feel that spoken are not the hear, I ask you to beli from one who values ‘would not speak one to Wrong you.

Not Likely to Be Pressed to a Vote During the Present Session. Senator Davis Expresses a Willing- ness to Yield to the Popular Desire. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, March 9. Acting In accorance with the instruc- tions of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations, Senator Davis to-day moved an executive session of the Senate for the purpose of taking up the Hawaiian | annexation treaty. After some nomi- | nations had been considered he moved that the treaty be taken up, and that | the Senate should proceed to the com- sideration of the amendment offered by Senator Bacon, providing for the sub- mission of the treaty to & vote of the electors,of Hawaii. ~This amendment was as follow: That this act shall not be operative and of binding effect upon either the United States or the Republic of Hawaii until the same shall have been consented to and approved by the majority of the voters voting at an election to be held in the Hawailan Islands, at which election all male natives of said islands of the age of 21 years and all naturalized male per- Sons of the said islands of the age of 21 years shall be duly qualified voters. The sald election shall be held at a time and in the manner and under regulations to be prescribed by the President of the United States. Senator Bacon objected to immediate consideration of his amendment, saying he had received no notice of the inten- tion of the committee to ask to have it taken up at this time, and that he de- sired some opportunity to pyepare him- self for the presentation of the reasons for submitting the treaty to a popular vote of the Hawalian people. He pro- ceeded to say in a general way that he thought the Hawailans should be con- sulted in a matter which concerned them sc deeply, as did the complete change of their government, and to show that they were opposed to annex- ation he referred to a petition protest- ing against annexation which had been signed by 30,000 natives of the islands, and which, he said, had been presented to the Senate by Senator Hoar. He referred to the Massachusetts Sena- tor’'s attitude in reference tc the treaty, and said that it must have changed since his presentation of this petition. This remark brought Senator Hoar to his feet with a declaration that there was nothing inconsistent between the presentation of the petition and his support of the treaty. Senator Bacon then asked for addi- tional time, and also put the question to Senator Davis, whether it was the intention of the Committee on Foreign Relations to press the treaty to a vote. To this inquiry Mr. Davis replied that he was not prepared to say what course the committee would pursue with re- gard to a vote on the treaty beyond the fact that it did not want to de~ prive Senatorswhomight wish to speak of an opportunity to do so. He said that while he was willing, to submit to what appeared to be the popular de- sire that the Senate should adjourn after the passage of the $50,000,000 de- fense bill he would again to-morrow, if opportunity offered, move an executive session of the Senate for the purpose of geing on with the treaty, and that he would pursue these tactics from day to day. The Senate then adjourned until to- mMOrrow. MANY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HAWAIIAN HOTEL. Famous Honolulu Hostelry Prepared to Accommodate Throngs of Tourists. $ HONOLULU, March 1.—The Macfar- lanes have obtained a long lease of the Penhallow property, adjoining the Ha- waiian Hotel, and with the numerous im- provements now being carried out expect to accommodate a very large number of visitors this season. All the other hotels are almost equally energetic in preparin; to recelve a great Influx of tourists ans transient travelers.

SANTA CRUZ, March 9.—Mitchell Har- rison, son of the Philadelphia sugar king, and party arrived to-day in their Pullman ralnce car Campania, which is side- racked at the Union Depot. They have been driving around Santa Cruz and vicinity and leave to-morrow. It is credibly reported from Honolulu that A Mr. Cooper is afraid that Mr. Dole mayquestion at least oneof his acts. The story as it is told to a special correspondent of The Call deals with a “message” written by Dole to departure, but which Mr. Cooper incontinently pigeon-holed. It seems that President Dole in his original “message” included a recommenda- giving as his reason that she had done nothing which should cut her off from the support that she was hitherto receiving from the old Gov- ernment, and upon this point, it appears, President Dole was particu- larly emphatic. Now, Mr. Cooper has radical ideas, and 4his recom- mendation did not appeal to his notions at all. with some of his more radical followers, it is asserted that they con- cluded to pigeon-hole the Dole message altogether. This transaction of substituting one message for another is a seri- ous one. Cooper’s message to the Legislature is said to differ widely in policy from that prepared by Dole in other besides particular points. President Dole is likely to be much angered at the opposition of the Ministry to his views as expressed in his written but undelivered mes- sage, and an exchange of sharp words is anticipated. This is the reason Acting President Cooper is awaiting the arrival of President Dole with considerable apprehension. 0000000000000 0000000000000000000000 cting President Cooper with considerable apprehension. be presented to Congress after his be made for Princess Kaiulani, So after consultation ©000000000000000000000000 PLEADING FOR THE PARRICIDE Self-Defense Claimed by Thomas Flannelly’s X Counsel. John Kerr Charged With Perjury and Mercenary Motives. Closing Argument to Be Made To- Day When the Case Will Go to the Jury. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, March 9.—District Attor- ney Walker of San Mateo County opened the argument in the Flannelly murder case this morning. His ad- dress was short, and only occupied about an hour. He called attention to Constable Barton's testimony in regard to the gunshot wounds iInflicted on Pat- rick Flannelly, and said that the flight of the defendant after the crime proved that the killlng was not justifiable. Attorney Straus for the defense fol- lowed. He opened his statement by saying: “We do not come here plead- ing for mercy or leniency. We have a firm basis, that of justification. Since we know we are right we demand a verdict at your hands. We do not in- tend to try to prove that the man was crazy. No. His act was one of a sane man. It was self-defense. I care not who he is, or what he may be, there is no man who will not defend his life #vith the life of another.” ° He then took up the testimony of John Kerr. He said this man had given false testimony and in trying to send Flannelly to prison or the gallows it was with the hope that he might en- joy the wealth of his father-in-law, Patrick Flannelly. Mrs. Flannelly was aged and Kerr was trying to get pos- session of the estate for his wife. Straus said the witness deliberately perjured himself when he stated that he did not know Flannelly senior had a revolver and then subsequently admitted that he had given him a pistol. He finished with this witness by saying he wished him no harm, but only hoped (hat) whatever fortune he may receive from the Flannelly estate may not be tinged too much with the knowledge of his gullt. Attorney Straus then said that Mrs. Jane Flannelly, a sister of the defend- ant, had spoken the truth when she said Patrick Flannelly always had a pistol under his pillow, and he took District Attorney Herrington to task for compelling the sister to testify against her brother. Mrs. Catherine Flannelly's testimony was touched upon lightly. Counsel said Kerr had prejudiced her mind, and that he did not believe Mrs. Flannelly knew what she said when she gave her testi- mony. The attcrney went over the tes- timony of Witnesses Doyle and Bar- ton, and derided the idea that Flannel- ly premeditated murder when he sad- dled up his horse to go and see his fa- ther on the night of the killing. He ridiculed the testimony given by Simon Winner that the defendant had ever said he would “do his father up.” Attorney Straus had not finished speaking when court adjourned. He will occupy two hours to-morrow, and will be followed by District Attorney Herrington, who closes for the prosecu- tion. It is probable the case will go to the jury to-morrow night.

FIRE BREAKS 0UT ON THE WHITELAW Big Steamship Badly Damaged Off Skaguay. Frantic Passengers Car- ried Ashore by the Tug Mascotte. The Burning Vessel Finally Beached and Pumped Full of Water. SERIES OF ADVENTURES. This Blaze but One of Several on the Craft Since She Left San Francisco. Special Dispateh to The Call. SEATTLE, March 9—The steamship Humboldt, which arrived in port this morning from Lynn Canal ports, brings the story of a serious fire on the steamer Whitelaw on the morning of March 4 The fire was discovered shortly after the Whitelaw dropped anchor a half mile out in the stream from the Skaguay wharf. She had just completed a long and eventful trip from San Francisco, and, as the wharves were full, had to anchor in the stream. The first the officers of the Humboldt knew of the trouble on the Whitelaw was when she began to blow signals of distress. Shortly afterward smoke was seen issuing from the forward hatch- way. The passengers were rushing about her decks wild with fear. They tried to lower the ship’s boats while the crew was fighting the fire. In the excitement one of the passengers fell overboard. He was rescued after con- siderable trouble. The tug Mascotte started out and brought ashore some sixty of the pas- sengers. The captain of the tugboat said that they were crazy to leave the ship. They told him that a large quan- tity of dynamite was in her hold near the fire and liable to explode at any moment. A lighter was run alongside and quickly loaded with freight. In the meantime the smoke and flames increased and the crew could not get them under control. Captain Dol- Jard decided to beach the ship and pump her full of water. He headed her for shore and backed the stern into the mud. The Whitelaw's big wrecking pumps were then turned into the hold and pumping was continued all morn- ing. 1{8 the Humboldt left the harbor the fire was under control. The tide had Jeft the steamship high on the beath- and she had listed heavily on her side. The officers of the Humboldt do not be- lieve that the Whitelaw is injured to any great extent.
