THE SAN FKFRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1898. 3 ,SENTENCE OF DREYFUS MAY BE ANNULLED Fears Exist That a Retrial Might Reveal Some Awkward Facts. Speculation as to Why General Zurlinden Ac- cepted the Portfolio of War—Cabinet Crisis Not Yet Settled. PARIS, Sept. 5.—The crisis in Cabinet is not yet regarded as deflnite- ly settled. Both M. Brisson and M. Cavaignac are believed to be playing for the Presidency of the republic and it is thought M. Brisson is growing jealous of Cavaignac” ularity. The latter, owing to his superior so- clal qualities, is supposed to stand the best chance, and it was with a view of securing the support of the that he stood out against revision. Opinions differ as to how the latest de- velopments affect the situation. There is a rumor to-night that Gen- eral Zurlinden, the new Minister for War, will advocate a mere annulling of the Dreyfus judgment and sentence as a safer way out of the imbroglio the | acce: s increasing pop- | army | pt the war portfolo after twice re- fusing it. ZURLINDEN ACCEPTS | THE MINISTRY OF WAR PARIS, Sept. 5.—General Zurlinden, Military Governor of Paris, has ac- cepted the Ministry of War, in succes- sion to M. Cavaignac, resigned. General Zurlinden was a member of the Ribot Cabinet, which went out of office in 1895. His decision to accept the war portfolio was communicated to | President Faure. After long conferences with the Min- ister of the Interior, M. Brisson, and Minister of Justice, M. Sarrien, Gen- eral Zurlinden was interviewed by a newspaper representative. The Min- | ister of Justice. the general said, asked //////’ / WA/ N GENERAL ZURLINDEN, FRANCE'S NEW MINISTER Of WAR, than a retrial involving all sorts of | awkward revelations. Whether or not this be true, there is much speculation as to how President Faure induced General Zurlinden to ADMISSIO ELABORATE PROGRAMME HAS | largest cver seen in this city. i be composed as follows: BEEN ARRANGED.

MISERY Mines Booming DAWSON, Aug. 11, via Seattle, ‘Wash., Sept. 5.—After an interval that was growing painfully long three boats have within two days arrived here from down the river. They bring alto- gether not a dozen through passengers, but are all of them loaded with freight, a large part of which is provisions. The Alaska Commercial Company’s big. new steamer Susie arrived Monday evening with Louis Sloss, of the com- | pany, on board, direct from San Fran- | cisco. She brought up but four | through passengers, but quite a list | from points along the river. Mr. Sloss reports the beach at St. | Michael covered with the tents of un- | happy people dumped there by ir're- | sponsible transportation companies, | which companies will be for the most part unable to bring them up the river | as they contracted to do. There are thousands of people there, he says, and many of the river boats upon which | Dawson have been wrecked while being | towed on the ocean, or are still on the | wags under construction. He was be- sieged by these people for passage on the Susie at excursion rates, but re- fused to amend his schedule. The Su- sie is now the queen of the Yukon fleet, her pre-eminence being beyond dispute. She is 225 feet long by 40, and she landed 400 tons of freight here, to say nothing of that which she dropped at stations along the way, all | the while drawing but four feet of water. She came up the river in six- teen days. Three times she struck the bars, but easily backed off. She is equipped in modern style. Her big stern wheel stands almost to the height of her upper deck, and coming up the river Monday night, flashing her searchlight over the city, she created a sensation. The following day the Portus B. Weare, the old lhz:er of the Nonlh American Trading Company, came in with 300 tons of freight. She had made the trip to St. Michael and return. The John Cudahy, the latest addition to the North American Trading Company’s fleet, arrived last night. She is of the pattern of the old boats, but fitted in fine style and with great power. She came from St. Michael in twelve and a half days, which makes a record. The Weare brought no passengers from St. Michael and the Cudahy brought three. The passengers on the Cudahy say that the big crowd at St. Michael, hear- ing the dismal reports of unfortunates going out by the boat load from here, far outnumbering those wro carried heavy sacks, are turning homeward and that provisions are cheaper at St. Michael than at San Francisco, flour being literally given away. Advices come up from Lieutenant Richardson, who distinguished himself at Fort Yukon last winter with Captain Ray and who is now in command at St. Michael, to the effect that the con- ditions there are much similar to those he had to meet at Fort Yukon; that trouble is being brewed by certain ele- ments among the discontented and mis- led people who threaten the capture of boats and destruction of goods to ex- tricate themselves from a dilemma or to “‘get even” for supposed wrongs. The difference is that he now hés men at his command, which means power to effectively meet the situation. The Susie started down the river yes- terday afternoon taking a shipment of two milllons in gold, a large part of which was from the Canadian Bank of Commerce. A number of heavy gold | sacks were taken out by individuals. they were dependent for coming to| VAST WEALTH AND IN THE GREAT KLONDIKE Around Dawson, but Many Men Walk the Streets in Despair. John D. 2ainey, a Brother of Sam Rainey of San Francisco, Among the Victims of Dysentery. BY SAM W. WALL. Special Correspondence of The Call Perhaps the heaviest was carried by Charley Anderson, who cleaned up $320,000 last winter from No. 28 El Do- rado, while John Lee from a lay of 100 feet square on the same claim took out $125,000. Anderson is said to be the only man on El Dorado or on any of the creeks for that matter, who is still pay- ing $15 a day wages, or $1 50 an hour. There is no longer any resistance on the part of the miners to the wage rate of $1 an hour, the fear being now that a greater reduction will be made this winter. The mass or miners’ meeting is still the vogue, and the Dominion Creek af- fair is still the frequent occasion of ft. A meeting was held a few nights ago at which a radical protest was made against the action of the Gold Commis- sloner in canceling the original filings on the creek and throwing it open for relocation. It was determined by those Who had suffered from this cancellation to carry the protest to Ottawa. An- other mass-meeting is called for to- night to take steps toward the organi- | zation of a miners’ association, the pur- pose being to secure some sort of rep- resentation at Ottawa and the enact- ment of more equitabl: e q) e laws for this The news of the reduction of - ties on the output of the mlnesmlfgxln 10 to 2 per cent was received here last week, and created a new atmosphere in the camp. Another impetus is given to mining, and the work of the coming winter will, T am confldent, distance the records of all mining camps. Great preparations are being made for the season, a constant procession of miners, with pick, shovel and provis- ion pack on their backs, passes out the Bonanza trall, and pack trains move out almost every hour. ‘Great activity is reported on Bonanza and El Dorado, especially in_ the neighborhood of French Hill, that rises at and creates French ~Gulch, notable for several stampedes last winter. Bench claims cover the hill and stretch the whole length of El Dorado Creek and far up and down Bonanza from the mouth of El Dorado, where the old river bed that made Skookum Hill and Skookum Guiches so rich by its deposits can be traced. Jim Wardner came to town after spending two weeks in the min. ing area. He pronounces the country a wonder, and he says the old river channel can be traced for fifteen miles along the ridges of El Dorado and Bo- naza, and that the‘bench claims upon it, 100 feet square, will prove as rich as any ground on the creek level. At the mouth of El Dorado, on Bonanza, is the famous Skookum Hill that was such a puzzle to miners last winter by discovering wonderfully rich diggings on its very crown. The bench or hill diggings on Bonanza and EI Dorado and on French Hill are now known to be a continuation of this deposit. The representing work that compels a cer- tain amount of development on every claim each year under pain of forfeit- ure has brought to light a good deal op pay dirt that heretofore has only been guessed at. On Bonanza previous to this fall almost no work was done on any of the claims ahove 58, because of the difficulty experienced thereabouts in locating the pay. Work is now be- ing done as high as 120 above, and good pay has been found on No. 80 and No. 89. Workers in several gulches leading into the creek away up have discov- ered coarse gold also, and bench claims are being located in the nineties. Very many of these claims will be worked all winter, employing very many more men than were at work last winter. All the famous old claims will also be worked, but few of them having been exhausted.

All this means that the city of Daw- son is established to last indefinitely. That far-sighted business men have known this for some time is witnessed by a substantial growth that almost eclipses anything in the history of city building. Since my second arrival here, less than two months ago, I have seen a-new city rise on the swamp where I found a long and busy row of unsubstantial shacks and tents. With lumber at $200 a thousand and timber more costly in proportion, three and four story buildings have simply walked up toward the sky, log has been piled on log and dressed lumber fronts have formed in line upon the main streets with astonishing rapidity. The town now has half a dozen theaters and dance halls, admission to which is gained by simply patronizing the bar at 50 cents a drink; there is a telephone that extends to El Dorado Creek and encompasses the city; many of the sa- loons are brilliantly lighted with gas. An electric light plant is here and about to be set up. There are two weekly newspapers. The programmes of the shows at the competing dance halls are emblazed in colored printing on the dead walls. All the so-called theaters have private boxes, where men and women drink liquors and watch the performances. After the show at most of the theaters the floors are cleared and public dancing goes on | for the balance of the night, the danc being each accompanied by more pal ronage of the bar, that being a re- quisite. The saloons néarly all em- ploy musicians, running the gauntlet from harp to hurdygurdy. 'Some few also of the restaurants entice patrons with musie. Two large and well fitted hotels, where clean beds and good cooking may be had, were recently opened, both events being celebrated by banquets and dances. With all this Dawson stands ready to reap the full advantage of any big development of the mines and of new, rich discoveries such as are daily expected. It is now and will continue to be a very warm mining camp. Gambling is at full flood, the streets are full of people and there is every sign of great activity, and yet the large majority of the peo- ple who crowd the streets and impact this busy air are without money and without employment, and most of them would refuse the kind of employment that the country offers. They are homesick and disgusted. Many of them lack the means to get out and are hop- ing for some miracle that will cheapen rates or place the means within their reach. The weather has been very warm for several days and this has aggravated conditions that have caused much sick- ness here and up the creeks. Typhold fever, malaria and dysentery have been very prevalent and a number of deaths have resulted. John D. Rainey, brother of Sam Rainey of San Francisco, died last Monday of dysentery and heart failure. He had been ill but eight days. The remains were taken charge of by brother Masons and interred in the cemetery here with fitting ceremony, there being a number of handsome floral tokens and the funeral was at- tended by a large number of friends, among them several ladies. Mr. Rainey was for ten years chief of the fire de- partment of Tacoma. His wife and daughter are visiting relatives in San Francisco. John D. Debow died at the Catholic Hospital and was buried last Sunday. Eugene Solage died and was buried on the 6th inst. The hospital, even to the halls, is crowded with patients and an- other hospital .recently opened is al- ready full. A large addition to the Catholic Hospital is being built. The type ot fever developed here is much severer than was that of last year. The little steamer C.ossett was wrecked while coming through Miles Canyon on the 2d. S. M. Taylor has arrived here from Copper River, having crossed over from the Tanana to Forty Mile River. He reports only suffering and Jdisappointment for the many who went into that country. INTERNATIONAL SQUABBLE OVER A THIEF’'S ARREST VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 5.—Klondikers who arrived on the steamer Amur this afternoon teil an interesting story of a clash among Canadian and American offi- clals in the gold fields, involving what promises to be a serious international problem. The whole affalr was brought about by the attempt of the mounted police to arrest a miner charged with the larceny of $15,500 who had escaped to American soll. Arthur Perry of Seattle went into the gold fields last winter and worked a claim on French Gulch on a lay for Alex McDonald. When the wash-up came this spring McDonald went to get his returns. Perry then told the big mine- owner that he had shipped the gold down to his office at Dawson. McDonald went back to Dawson, but found no trace of the gold. He immediately dispatched of- ficers to his claim to secure Perry, but he had flown. B{ dint of inquiry along the water front it was found that Perry and the gold had gone down the river in a small boat. The mounted police were appealed to, and Constable McPhall start- ed in pursuit accompanied by B. W. Chisholm, whotwent to identify the thief. The fact that the accused was then in American territory did not stop the pur- suit, for on the Yukon extradition has been walved right along, as the difficul- tles in the way of getting extradition apers are so gre&t after leaving Dawson, erry joined his wife at Circle City and together they drifted down the Yukon until they met the steamer Stoneham, on which they took passage to St. Michael. The mounted policeman went down the river on the Monarch and over- took the Stoneham somewhere between the Koyakuk and Tanana rivers. Perry was found on board with his sacks of {ll- gotten gold, and he was at once made risoner and transferred to the steamer Columbian, which was met bound up. Coming up the river the Columbian stopped to help the Rock Island off a bar, and in doing so_got on herself. In the meantime Mrs. Perry had reached Circle City and worked up much sympathy for the accused on the ground that he was an American arrested by a Canadian of- ficer on American soil. Collector Ivey boarded the boat at Circle, and when nearing Eagle City he declared himself and demn:§ed McPhail to release the prisoner. THe constable and captain pro- tested, but Ivey, saying he was prepared to use force, drew a revolver, and point- ing it at the officer, pushed him aside and took his prisoner. McPhail asked that the man be held until extradition papers could be obtained, but Ivey refused and took both Perry the gold, giving Mc- Phail a receipt, which, however, did not mention the amount of money en. Ivey and Perry got off at Bagle City. McPhail went on to Dawson and réported to the captain, and officers of the Colum- bian made affidavits. In the meantime Crown Prosecutor Wade, Constable Mc- Phatl and several other officers of the ponce have left Dawson in pursuit of the prisoner. , Pioneer Woman Gone.

ALBION'S BANNER OVER KHARTOUM British Flag Hoisted on the Palace. PURSUIT OF THE KHALIFA CAMEL SQUADS CHASE THE FLYING DERVISHES. Gallant Charge of the Twenty-First Lancers Against a Force Out- numbering Them Four to One. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call LONDON, Sept. 5—The War Office received this evening the following dis- patch dated at Omdurman yesterday, from General Sir Herbert Kitchener: “This morning the British and Egyp- tian flags were hoisted with due cere- mony upon the walls of the palace in | Khartoum. | “All the British wounded have left for Abadia in barges towed by steam- ers. I saw them before leaving. They were all doing well and were comfort- able. “The cavalry sent in pursuit of the Khalifa were compelled to abandon the attempt, owing to the exhaustion of the horses, but I have ordered camel squads to continue the pursuit.” Dispatches from Omdurman relate that the newspaper correspondent, Howard, who was afterward killed, participated in the gallant charge of the Twenty-first Lancers. These troops were scouting when they saw in the basin between 600 and 700 Dervishes. The Lancers charged the enemy and suddenly found themselves face to face with 2000 swordsmen, thus being out- numbered at least four to one. The Dervishes were hidden from view in a hollow. The Lancers charged through them, re-formed and charged back to recover their wounded, who were being savagely slaughtered. The official list gives the number of British officers killed in the capture of Omdurman as two, while thirteen were wounded. Of the men twenty-three were killed and ninety-nine wounded. The loss sustained by the Egyptians was: Officers, one killed, eight wound- ed; men, twenty killed, 221 wounded. Colonel Rhodes, a brother of Cecil Rhodes and correspondent of the Lon- don Times, was severely wounded, a gullet having struck him in the shoul- er. FEATS OF BRAVERY BEFORE KHARTOUM LONDON, Sept. 6.—The latest ac- counts of the capture of Omdurman adds but little to those received yes- terday. All agree to the brilliancy of the cavalry charge of the Twenty-first Lancers. This was the great feature of the battle. Every man who fell in the charge was immediately hacked to pieces by the fanatics, yet the Lancers re-formed as coolly as if on parade. One corporal, covered with blood and reeling in his saddle, was ordered to fall out. He waved his bent I shouted: ‘“Never.” T When Lieutenant Grenfell was missed Lieutenant Montmorency, with a few comrades, made a most gallant attempt to recover the body and hold the enemy at bay with revolvers. They secured the body and then lost it again as the horse on which it was placed | shied. | There was another memorable inci- dent while McDonald’s Black Brigade was cautiously crossing the field, after the Dervishes had broken, to dispatch | the wounded Baggaras—an imperative | duty, owing to the custom of the Bag- garas to felgn death and then deal a fatal blow to the unwary enemy. The Dervishes re-formed and made a des- perate rush upon an isolated camel corps, belleving they had it at their mercy. The corps retired steadily with- out confusion. McDonald’s brigade, assisted by the gunboats, came to the rescue and cov- ered the retirement of the camel corps by pouring volley after volley into the advancing Dervishes, who, although their ranks were terribly thinned, con- tinued thelir desperate advance. More Dervishes swept down, the en- gagement became swift and general and the enemy was so ottes y ] on completely HEAT CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS AT NEW YORK NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—There is no re- lief from the heat of the past four days in sight.
