Then using both boats as one they started to tow | this valuable prize ashore. Suddenly the shark awoke from its stupor, and dove about twenty feet into the water, taking the boats and men with it. The shark arose with empty boats in tow. It repeated its dive twice more, on the third time breaking the rope that fastened it and escaping. One boat was reduced to splinters, but the other, being comparatively whole, was taken by two of the men, who | paddled with their hands through the heavy surf to ide, and from there n last night to Monter of the three survivors, a pro. sional diver and swimmer, ed to swim ashore, and extreme coldness of nearly proved fatal.

Nature’s Detectives. ‘When a crime is committed, no matter in what comer of the earth the criminal tries | to hide, he knows that | probably somewhere or other on the look -out is a detective waiting to lay his hand n him. When any disease- at. tacks man- kind and hides itself in the human system, no matter how obscure or| complicated the disease may be, Na- ture among | her great force of - de- tective reme- dies has one that will eventually hunt down and arrest that particular disease. H Lung and bronchial diseases are among the most baffling complaints which doctors have to deal with; because it isn’t the lungs or bronchial tubes alone which are affected, but every corner of the system furnishes a lurking place for these elusive maladies. They change and reappear and dodge about the system under numberless dis- | guises. They are almost always compli- | cated with liver or stomach troubles, nerv. ousness, neuralgia, or ‘‘general debility.” The best detective remedy which Nature has provided to search out and arrest these 199 Yexing ailments is Dr. Pierce’s Golden RfeBical Discovery. It lays an arresting hand directly upon the poisonous, gag}p. ing elements hiding in the liver and diges- tive organs. It gives the blood-making glands 'powu to manufacture an abundant supply of pure, red, highly vitalized blood which reinforces the lungs with healthy tissue; feeds the nerve - centres with power, and builds up solid muscular flesh and active energy. Forweak lungs, spitting of blood, shortness of breath, nasal catarrh, bronchitis, severe coughs, asthma, and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy.

Enraged by the Refusal to Accept His Chal- lenge. Consider Him the Equal of the Man Who Befriended Dreyfus. MYSTERY OF A TRAGEDY. Jew Who Supplied Papers in the Zola Trial Found Hanging by the Neck. Copyrighted, 1398, by James Gordon Bennett 1 PARIS, March 12.—The appeal to the Supreme Court by Zola against the | judgment of the court which con- demned him to a year’s imprisonment will be taken soon—in a week, without appeal will be quashed, for unless it is absolutely and legally necessary every- thing will be done to avoid a reopening of the affair at least before the elec- | tions. Much more interest attaches to the case of former Colonel Picquart, who after having wounded Colonel Henry in a duel, refused to send seconds to Major Esterhazy, by whom he had been insulted. The seconds of the lat- ter insist on the formation of a court of honor, presided over .by a general and composed of six judges named and appointed jointly by the two principals, to decide whether or not Colonel Picquart can refuse reparation at the hands of an officer who has been twice acquitted, who still wears a uniform, and, consequently, who has not been disqualified, so far as the usual rules relating to affairs of honor are con- cerned. The point is discussed with s0 articularly ympetent They to speak v that Col- sary whom his brother till worthy of wear- ripes, and consequently ing milita a tribunal d’honneur would be obliged to give its decision from this point of view. If Colonel Picquart refuses thi tration he will find himself con- fronted by Major Esterhazy’'s seconds or insulted publicly by the latter, to which he cannot be indifferent. The affair has, therefore, become serious, and if a duel results from the pro ings you may count upon a pretty live- ly one. The other affair of moment is of a more mysterious character. It concerns a suicide—a man found hanging to the fastening of a window in a furnished house. The identification of the body—estab- lished with difficulty, after a series of investigations which brought out a | doubt. The general opinion is that the | timely end. derable spirit by a number of per- | onel Picquart’s personal opinion of Es- terhazy, or even his own conviction, cannot be brought into question as re- | | | | | half dozen names by which the suicide | was known—seems to show that he was a private detective who at the time of | the Zola trial sold different papers con- nected with the affair, some authentic and some false, upon which certain evi- dence was based. The dead man was a Jew, named Kehmann, who, under a supposititious name wanted to sell se- crets to M. Reinach first and then to M. Rochefort. These spurious docu- ments were destined to raise a scandal n the Zola trial, otherwise they would rected light. The man only a_ simple adven- turer, who was spurred on by poverty, but the mysterious circumstances of his death, certain visits which he received shortly before his death, the precau- tions which were taken to conceal his identity afterward—all these present a momentous chapter in the novel to which an article lately written by Mme. Severine, the well known lady journal- , has added sensational interest. This writer declares openly that the man of the Rue de Seveies was not a perha | suicide, but had been assassinated. When summoned on Wednesday by the Judge conducting the inquiry to | explain this statement Mme. Severine | refused to take oath or answer any question, but she pretends to have in her hands elements of truth of this gruesome story, and she says she will speak out soon and unmask the real culprit. HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO ON THE VERGE OF WAR. President Sam Leads an Army to the Frontier to Check an Invasion. Copyrighted, 1895, by James Gordon Bennett. JAMAICA, March 12.—Advices from the Herald's correspondent in Port-au-Prince, Hayti, to-day state that a breach be- twee ed as the result of the long-standing frontier dispute.

Tamburini,an Italian laborer from Redwood City, at- tempted suicide in a room in the Roman Hotel on North Market street at about 4 o’clock this morning. The man tried to cut his_throat with the little blade of a ocket-knife. He inflicted an ugly wound, ut_the blade broke. Removing the broken blade from his neck, he opened the big blade of the knife and attempted to finish the job. He cut deep into the wound, and twisted the blade as if boring with an auger. = He failed to cut the jugu- lar vein, however, and the chances are that he will recover. The unusual noise attracted the inmates of the house, and Tamburini was disarmed. Tamburini came yesterday to San Jose from Redwood City, where he has a wife and child, He was around town with friends last evening, and was elightly in- toxicated when he retired.

Not Heard of Since She Left Shanghai Early in December. Should Have Arrived on Puget Sound About Six Weeks Ago. WAS HER MAIDEN VOYAGE Captain McAllep Accompanied on the Trip by His Daughter and Two Sons. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, March 12—There is a strong probability that the schooner 1s that lie at the bottom of the Pacific. It this be true, all on board met an un- The Nomad sailed from Tacoma in September last for Shang- | hai, with a cargo of lumber. It is re- ported that she covered the distance in sixty days, and arrived at without mishap. It was her maiden voyage, and she sailed on her return to Puget Sound on December 7 last. As far as is known, she has not been seen since by mortal man. According to the reckoning of those who know her cap- abilities for making time, the schooner is now six weeks overdue. The master of the Nomad was Cap- | tain J. W. McAllep of Seattle, who is | known everywhere on Puget Sound as | a veteran and skillful navigator. With the captain were his daughter and two | sons. His wife had expected to accom- pany him, but was prevented by ill- nes In the latter part of December Mrs. | McAllep received a letter from her hus- | band at Shanghai. It stated that he would leave that port for Seattle on | December 6. When February was ush- ered in and there was no news of the Nomad, the wife and mother became | quite anxious for the safety of her | loved ones. She is now almost frantic with grief, and has almost given up | hope of ever again seeing the absent | ones. | ptain McAllep was for some time | captain of the fire boat Snoqualmie at | Seattle. Previous to that he was mas- ter of the ship Detroit, employed in the coasting trade between this port| and San Francisco. Later he assumed command of the steamship Chilkat. Oneé of the sons, George H. McAllep, was 24 years old when he shipped on the Nomad as ship’s carpenter. He | had formerly acted as purser of the| Chilkat. Weston, the other son, was 22 years old and shipped as a seaman. | The daughter, Miss Helen, was about | 25 years of age. The names of those | forming the crew are not known. The Nomad was a four-masted ves- sel, built at Port Blakeley by the Hall Brothers last year. She was launched | in the early summer of 1897. She was a handsome ship, built on graceful lines and as stanch and seaworthy as | any vessel of her kind afloat on the | Pacific. She expected to return with | ballast from Shanghai. Some few shipping men here who have been interviewed by The Call correspondent hold to the opinion that the Nomad may not be lost. It is pos- sible, they say, that she has met with some mishap that might cause a delay in her arrival. If she nas been partly disabled and driven from her course by some terrible storm her non-arrival might easily be explained. The gen- eral opinion, however, in view of her long delay and not having been sighted is that the Nomad with all on board has been lost. SUCCESSFUL BENCH SHOW. Dogs and Poultry That Won Prizes at Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, March 12.—The dog and poultry show closed to-night and has been pronounced the most successful ever held in Southern California. It is said to have been better than the show at Sacramento. The hall has been packed by visitors during the four days’ exhibi- tion. Dogs received more attention than poultry, especially from the women. H. T. Payne of San Francisco read a paper on dogs; G. H. C. Goodwin, on poultry in the orchard and on the farm; V. Tressler, thoroughbred poultry; E. W, Hadley of Santa Barbara, architecture of poultry house: Professo® Woodbridge, food for egg production. The prize-win- ners among the dog class are: S.

Henry Martin of San Jose Will Prob- ably Lose His Life. SAN JOSE, March 12.—Henry Martin, a saloon porter, is suffering from blood polsoning caused by the bite of a small black spider, and his life is despaired of. About a week ago he was bitten upon the left elbow by a spider, and inside of an hour the arm began to swell. The pain became so severe that a few days ago Martin went to the County Hospital. Blood poisoning of a severe nature has set in, the arm is swollen to immense grogortjons up to the shoulder and the esh is perfectly black. It seems im. possible to check the spreading of the poison through the system, and even though the arm be amputated, it is feared that death will result. - her port | | hibited the public demonstration HONOR THE MEMORY 0F WILLIAM 1 Germans Mourn at the Grave of the ‘W arrior.

Special Dispatch to The Call BERLIN, March 12.—The decennial of | ed at Berlin on Wednesday. On the national monument were innumerable wreaths, many ladies and children de- which the Emperor died and the door | leading to it were draped in mourning, | one of which was sent by the officials of the United States Embassy.

Most of the German princes monument and to the grave. A bou- quet of violets was placed in the cor- ner window of the palace on Unter der Linden, where William I appeared daily at noon. The fact that Count Herbert Bis- marck and his wife were the guests of Emperor William on Sunday has led to rume of his return to public life, probably as Embassador to St. Peters- burg. The correspondent is assured, however, that while His Majesty of- fered Count Herbert a position *“in conformity with his ambition,” the count declined, saying he did not de- sire te hold office in Germany while his father was alive, to which the Emper: or pleasantly replied that he could “ap- preciate the sentiment,” and the matter was dropped. The Minister of the Interior bas pro- on March 18, the anniversary of the revo- lution of Berlin, including the projected demonstrations at the graves of the shain. All demonstrations will be for- cibly suppressed, and the offenders will be arrested. The latest developments are that it is now bill will pass the Reichstag in a shape which will satisfy the Government. The difficulty lies in the fact that the Cen- trists insist upon incorporating in it a provision to the effect that in case a new tax is necessary to carry out the scheme it will all be levied upon only the wealthier portion of the popula- tion. The Government is unwilling to bind itself to such a bargain, as it might cost many votes at the coming election. The protests of the United States Embassy against the unfair enforce- ment of the Bundesrath decree against American fruit has resulted in special instructions being issued to the Com- missioners of Customs, so that no fur- ther complaints are arriving. The Darmstadt Technical High School has decreed the exclusion of for- eign-born students. United States Consul Pitcairn of Hamburg is the butt of the German press because of his refusal to sign bills of lading and other documents needed for the departure of the Ham- burg-American line steamers on Sun- days, on the ground of his religious scruples. The Hamburg-American of- ficials :and the newspapers allege it is due to disinclination for work. COURSING FOR THE FIESTA. Good Day’s Sport, But Not a Success Financially. L0OS ANGELES, March 12.—The extra day of coursing for the benefit of the Fiesta fund did not prove to be a success as far as attendance was concerned, al- though the sport was up to the usual high standard. The recent rains have softened up the ground wonderfully and gave the dogs a better chance to run without hurting their feet, while as the grass grows longer the rabbits have a good opportunity to evade pursuit and escape. Nearly all the favorites were entered and several new dogs made their debut. In the run-offs Poker Davis beat Oak- land Belle; Ormonde beat Major Black a bye; ~Kitty Scott beat Bonnie Belle; White Chief Beat Innocent Dalsy; Cy- clone beat Tiger; B B and B beat Juliet; Little Pearl beat Hettie Green after a tie; Rag Baby beat Ramon; Tiger, a bye, beat Fleet after a tie; Monday Morning beat Ebony Queen; D V H beat Flying Jib; Orpheum Lass beat Shamrock after a tie; Jullet, a bye, beat Snooze; Oulda, formerly Lady Lillian, beat Monday Noon a bye; Romeo beat Oakglen Vic- tress; Winona beat Homer; Here We Are beat ‘Sharkey; Blue Bird beat Sky Ball after a tle; Trip beat Oscar; Innocent Daisy beat Kentucky Girl a bye; Luck Jack beat Palo Alto; Joe beat Shamrocl a bye; Galley Boy beat Bugle B; A B C beat Sailor Girl.

SACRAMENTO, March 12.—About two weeks ago Chief of Police Dwyer learned of a plot laid by ex-convicts to crack the safe of one of the large business corpora- tions in this ciity, and he at once took steps to render even an attempt futile. A guard was set over the safe, and of- ficers were detailed to pick up _the prison birds as soon as they arrived. There were flve men in the piot, their names being: ““Chick” Frost, Frank Anderson, Mar) Kelly, Tom Hausensacker and “Kid" Thomas. They were all lodged in jail and after due warning not to fimrn, were “floated” out of the city by virtue of the vagrancy act. SR e J. G. Schrieber Very IlL NEW YORK, March 12.—J. G.

OF A MONOPOLY Opposition to the Bill for a Cable to Hawaii. Minority of the House Com- mittee to Introduce a Substitute. Similar in Essential Features, Except That No Corporation Is Named.

Representative Corliss of Michigan | | to-day completed the minority repor | of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce against the bill reported by that committee for the es. tablishment of a Pacific cable. | The original bill provided for the subsidy of the Pacific Cable Company at the rate of $100,000 for twenty years | and for the completion of the cable to | | Honolulu by 1900 and to Japan and | The substitute offered | by Mr. Corliss and Mr. Fletcher of Min- | nesota also provides for a subsidy of not exceeding $100,000, but it eliminates | the name of the corporation and has | & provision for advertisement by the Postmaster General and the co-opera tion of the Government of Japan. | The report indorses the proposition | for a cable, but objects to the bill of | | the majority, because it grants an ex- | clusive monopoly and a | $2,000,000 and holds that all franchises | should be open to competition, and also that another American corporation | is ready to enter into a contract to construct the cable. The report says: - | It is well known | ready to grant a like that Japan stands or greater subsidy dition to the subsidy proposed in these measures, and it is believed that for the | public_good the President should be clothed with power to secure the co-0p- eration of Japan for the construction and maintenance of this all-important public work, and the minority, therefore, submit an amendment authorizing such action, with the expectation that such co-oper: ation and competition will result in secur- ing the establishment of a cable at a much less figure toan it is proposed to grant to the Pacific Cable Company by the measure submitted by the majority of the committee.
