Mary, his wife, one of the most intelligent of the natiyes of Alaska, came off with her retinmue of natives to receive him. Bhe was “tickled to death” to get Char- ley back, even if he did not have any reindeer with him, When Jarvis asked for the deer last winter, Mary pre- dicted that Charley would return with- out any deer and that the people would laugh at him. She meant that he would never get the deer back. Final- 1y some of the deer were given for ser- There were 160‘ vices rendered to a few of the natives, Charley among the number. But to offset their generosity the Government herd at Port Clarence was moved down to Unalaklik, where the Swedish Mis- | slon is located. This removed them farther than ever from the native in- | habitants, for whose benefit they were | supposed to have been introduced. | Since Colonel (now General) Ran- | dolph at St. Michael had no use for | the deer last winter, it would seem that | they might just as well have been turned over to the overland relief ex- | pedition instead of leaving Jarvis to | depend on the generosity of natives. | l'rhe fact that the Eskimo citizens of | | the United States responded so nobly | to the appeal of Lieutenant Jarvis, in the cause of humanity, recommends them strongly to the gratitude of the rest of the country. *They should be repaid with the best reindeer that can | be obtained and in settling with them their bravery, devotion and the priva- tions that they and their families in | their absence suffered should weigh | heavily in the scales. | |EIGHTEEN LOST ON THE JESSIE Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 12—E. B. Wishar, | who arrived to-day from St. Michael, Alaska, brings confirmation of the pre- viously published report of the loss of | the steamer Jessie at the mouth of the Kuskowim River in July with eighteen lives.

Of course there are *kicks' registered by disappointed exhibitors, but on the wnole fewer complaints are heard | than in many other years. Especially on | cattle and swine did the Oregon judge give satisfaction. The principal awards for Saturday af- ternoon were in the standard trotting and pacing classes and for Durham cat- | tle. La Siesta stock farm's Willeroo took | first prize for standard trotting or pacing | stalllons, four years old and over, and | Santa Rosa’s stock farm’s Lillle Stanley | secured first premium for mares four | rears and over with suckling colt.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 12.—The State election to-day resulted In the success of the full Republican ticket, as follows: Governor—Lewellyn Powers of Houl- ton. Congressmen—First District, Thomas B. Reed of Portland; Second District, Nelson Dingley of Lewiston; Third District, Edwin C. Burleigh of Au- gusta; Fourth District, Charles A. Boutelle of Bangor. The election was marked by compar- ative apathy on the part of the Repub- licans, who felt sure, while the Demo- | crats took more interest with a desire | to make a better showing than in 1894 | or 1896, and put some vim in the cam- paign, the result of which was seen in nearly every town. Returns from 150 cities and towns give Powers (R.) 22,613; Lord (D.) 12,- 863. The same towns in 1894 gave Cleveland (R.) 27,728; Johnson (D.) 13,- 046. This shows a net Republican loss of 17 per cent and a Democratic loss of 12 per cent. On this basis Powers will have about 27,100 plurality. Speaker Reed’s vote shows a falling off of nearly 4000. MADERA SHOOTING AFFRAY. Creditor Wounded While Seeking to Collect a Debt. MADERA, Sept. 12—As the outcome of the attempted collection of an old debt, James Pettitt, a laboring man, was shot by W. H.

Republicans of Southern California in General Condemn the Policy of Sunday’s Editoral. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12—"“The Re- publican party is bigger than any newspaper or corporation,” sald a preminent Republican to-day when questioned regarding the defection of the Los Angeles Times in its attack upon the personnel of the Republicans of the State Executive Campaign Com- mittee, and this is the sentiment voiced | by every Republican interviewed by the correspondent of The Call here to- day. Many of the men seen expressed themselves against the position of the Times In the most emphatic language, and it is the consensus of opinion that | in so far as the local situation is con- cerned the stand taken by the Times will not in any way affect the result of the election. It is well known here that the fight against certain members of the executive committee is purely per- | sonal and not a single person will ad- mit that the Times is making the fight in the interest of pure politics at this time. Some go so far as to denounce its action and say that the time has come when the people of Los Angeles must take a firm stand and fight out the issue to the bitter end and once and for all time settle the question whether the Times is or is not greater than the Republican party. Republicans generally complain bit- terly of the action of the paper in the past as well as Iin the present cam- paign, and they are tired of the dicta- torial tactics pursued by it. Even those who have a kindly feeling for the pa- per condemn the publication of the editorial in last Sunday’'s issue as be- ing injudicious and untimely and detri- mental to the interest of the Repub- lican -arty throughout the State. It is expected that some action will be taken by the Republican county con- vention now in session here, although a strong effort is being made to head off any such public condemnation of the course pursued by the Times. Many of the persons interviewed signified their willingness to be quoted later on as they fear that to do so at this time might jeopardize the interest of some of their friends who are candidates for local offices, and Republicans generally express the ~ope that The Call will take up the fight In behalf of the party, which they say has no local paper to represent its interest in the present campaign. ENTERTAINED BY COLUMBIA CLUB LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12—The Co- lumbia Club entertained over 700 dele- gates of the Republican convention at their elegant rooms to-night. Refresh- ments were served to all, and a general good time marked the occasion. The club is composed of active workers in the party, and numbers among its members nearly all of the prominent Republicans of Los Angeles County. The officers of the club are young men of standing in the business community who never overlook an opportunity to further the interest of Republicanism. The c¢rganization is a permanent one, and has already done much to attract to the party the young voters of the county. John B. Bushnell, the presi- dent of the club, is not only an active Republican, but ranks high in the busi- ness circles of the city. He is untiring in his efforts for party success, and his ability as a leader is unquestioned. THREE SHOTS FIRED AT HOLLAND'S QUEEN Two Bullets Flew Wide, but a Third Struck the Countess Limburg- Stirrutt. BERLIN, Sept. 12.—Persistent rumors have been current here during the last few days that, despite all statements to the contrary, an attempt was made upon the life of Queen Wilhelmina about three weeks ago. One newspaper, which re- orts an account of the affair on the al- fexod authority of Count Limburg-Stir- rutt, says that an Italian fanatic fired thrice from the woods while the Queen with three ladies was driving near her residence at Soestdyk. Two shots went wide, but the third lodged in the arm of the Countess Limburg-Stirrutt. The Queen preserved her presence of mind and had the affair kept a strict se- | cret, owing to the approaching enthrone- ment. The would-be n was ar- rested—so the story goes—and confessed himself as an anarchist. Countess Lim- burg-Stirrutt is recovering. COLONEL DU CLAM LOSES HIS POSITION Placed on the Inactive List Owing to Revelations in the Dreyfus Scandal.

The court has refused to release former Colonel Picquart pending a rehearing of the case against hi: FUSION IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY | | SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 12.—The Dem- | ocratic County Convention was called to | order in Lompoc to-day by Dr. W.

SPANISH SENATE | AGAIN IN TUMULT | MADRID, Sent. 12—The Senate at to- day's session deflnitely adopted the His- pano-American protocol. The session of the Senate was stormy. Count d'Almenas, challenged to give | the names of the generals whom he re- cently said ought to be disgraced, re- plied: “Very well, as_you wish, 1 will. The generals to whom I referred are Gen- eral Weyler, General Blanco and General Primo de Rivera. I will also fnclude in the same category Admiral Cervera.” This announcement led to an extraor- dinary scene of tumult. g PORTIONS OF A WOMAN'S BODY IN PACKAGES BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Sept. 12—Two packages, containing portions of a woman’s body, were found to-day in an arm of the Yellow Mill pond. The pack- ages were the head of a woman, cut from the body near the ear, and the lower limbs, which had been separated from the body, unjointed and cut in two at the knees, then tied together and wrapped in a strong glazed paper. The head of the woman was a little red and jammed on one ts}ide, and had a cloth tied over the mouth. s STATE FAIR'S SUCCESS. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 12.—The attend- ance at the pavilion to-night justifies the expectation that the fair will be visited nightly until its close by thousands of peo- ple. The immense interior of the exposi- tion building presents a picture that is certainly attractive. All about are glis- tening lights and bright banners, setting off a wide variety of exhibits. The pres- ence of hundreds of falr women, dressed in the light attire which the genial valley climate allows, adds all that during the early days of the fair had been wanting to make its success complete. All the fresh fruit exhibits that had been in place during the week have been rexlaced and many new ones added. feature of the fair that is unpreten- tious and yet merits reé’eated tours of in- spection is the annex devoted to the dis- play of fine fowl.

Aguinaldo Speaks of Plans for Independence and Pretends Friendship for Americans. cayas. o (2] o ] S o 00 MADRID, Sept. 12—Captain Aunon, Minister of Marine, received to-day an important dispatch from the Philippines describing a con- flict between the Spanish gunboats and an insurgent flotilla, in which the former successfully prevented an insurgent landing in t*» Vis- According to the dispatch the insurgents had five vessels, all of which were sunk. The Spanish had no loss, but the telegram as- serts that hundreds of the insurgents are believed to have perished. 00000000 0000000000000 0O00O00000O000O0000000 MANILA, Sept. 12.—Rear Admiral Dewey says he considers the situation critical. It is understood he has asked for an additional cruiser and a battle- ship. The Spaniards assert that Ger- many will take a coaling station here and that Spain will retain the remain- der of the islands. The last Spanish garrisons at Ilocos and Laguna have surrendered and the whole island of Luzon is said to be in the hands of in- surgents, except Manila and Cavite. Aguinaldo went to Lelollos on Friday. He has announced his intention of con- vening an assembly of the Filipinos on September 15, in order to decide upon the policy to be adopted by the insur- gents. The correspondent here of the Associated Press has had an interview with Aguinaldo, who said there were 67,000 insurgents armed with rifles. He added he could raise 100,000 men. In- deed, the insurgent leader pointed out, the whole population of the Philippine Islands was willing to fight for their in- dependence. Continuing, Aguinaldo said he had 9000 military prisoners, including 5000 in the vicinity of Manila, besides civil prisoners. Later Aguinaldo said the “provisional government” was now op- erating twenty-eight provinces. He asserted that on August 2 they elected delegates in numbers proportionate to the population. As to the Americans, Aguinaldo re- marked that he considered them as brothers; that “the two sovereign re- publics were allied against a common nemy. < \\'hzn questioned as to whether the future Filipino policy would be abso- lute independence, Aguinaldo excused himself from replying and asked what America intends to do. The correspondent being unable to | answer this question, Aguinaldo con- tinued: ave been fighting for independ- e for a long time. The natives who ;’;gfess to favor annexation are insin- cere. It is merely a ruse to ascertain views.” Arx:;i:dan“ the Filipinos would object to the retention of Manila Aguinaldo lined to answer. de‘?\vould the Filipinos object to Amer- jcans retaining a coaling station, if recognizing the independence of the islands or establishing a temporary protectorate over them? Aguinaldo ain refused to answer. ug;é’nd(ng the conclusion of the as- sembly Aguinaldo sald he was confl- dent there would be no trouble between ‘America and the Filipinos. The insur- gent leader denied having received a request from General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey to withdraw his troops to a prescribed distance from Manila and Cavite, and he decllnzq to discuss effect of such a request. lhle\gu!naldo further asserted that he had never conferred with the American authorities since the capitulation of Manila, and that he had never author- ized the insurgents to search or dis- arm Americans crossing the line. The correspondent closely'questioned him about last Saturday’s incident, when the Pennsylvania troops pro- ceeded to establish a new outpost. The Filipinos objected and nearly precipi- tated hostilities, ordering the Ameri- cans to withdraw in twenty minutes. They issued ammunition and inter- cepted the American reinforcements. Finally General Hale ordered all the Pennsylvanians to advance and the bels withdrew. l‘e’I‘he local Governor has explained that the Incident was a complete mis- take and has repudiated his subordi- nates' action. Aguinaldo declared to the correspondent that the Filipino who made the trouble merely pretended to be an officer and is entirely uncon- nected with the insurgent army. Aguin- aldo complained that the Spaniards were “disseminating false reports for the purpose of fomenting antagonism between the Filipinos and the Ameri- s ca’;“he whole interview conveyed the impression that Aguinaldo desires ab- solute independence, regards the mis- sion of the Americans here as accom- plished and expects their withdrawal, “just as the French with Lafayette withdrew after helping the Americans in the war of independence, a war of ity h‘?s:tn nzw Ag\;mnlgom maintains the le of extreme friendship. mWASHINGTON. Sept. 12.—The Mad- rid dispatch in regard to the American reply to the Spanish note protesting against hostilities on the part of the insurgents of the Philippine Islands was shown to the first secretary of the French Embassy. He said that Em- bassador Cambon had been absent from Washington several weeks and the reply was not sent by him person- ally. If such a reply had been made it would have gone through the hands of the first secretary, but he declined positively to say whether or not he had forwarded a message of such charac- ter. The officials of the State Depart- ment also refused to make known the nature of the communications ex- changed between the two governments regarding this matter. It is known, however, that in response to urgent ap- peals of the Spanish Government to protect the Spaniards living in the Philippines from the insurgents during the continuance of the truce now in force, General Otis was instructed to use his influence with the insurgent leaders to cause them to stop active hostilities for the time. Touching the departure from Manila of insurgent parties on ships to carry the revolution among the other islands of the group it is learned that no such expeditions have been sent out since the signing of the protocol and the incident which formed the basis of the Spanish repre- sentations on the subject happened some time ago, when it was warranted. NEW YORK, Sept. 12—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen said to-night that Rear Admiral Dewey has not repeated his request of several weeks ago for the assignment of a battleship and an armored cruiser to his squadron. The Oregon and Iowa have been ordered to the Pacific, and will go to Manila as soon as Rear Admiral Dewey so re- quests. GENERAL OTIS NEEDS HIS SIGNAL CORPS NEW YORK, Sept. 12—A Washington special to the Herald say: Although the authorities are reticent, it can be confi- dently stated that within the last two days cable advices have come from Gen- eral Otis to the War Department saying that his signal corps must remain intact in view of further possible trouble with the Aguinaldo element. The intention had been to send part of the signal service force to Hawali, but this protest fréom generaj Otis puts a stop to this inten- on. REPLY TO e HE PROTEST | AGAINST HOSTILITIES | MADRID, Sept. 12—The French Em- bassador at Washington, M. Cambon, who has been acting for Spain in the peace ne- gotiations, has cabled to the government the American reply to the Spanish protest against hostilities on the part of the in- surgents in the Philippines in spite of the peace protocol. The United States prom- ses to send envoys to induce the Togallos to respect the suspension of hostilities and to prevent vessels leaving Manila with insurgents for the purpose of propa- gating the insurrection in other islands.

On mo- tion the convention took a recess until 4 p. m., at which hour the names of the members of the three committees were announced and the convention ad- journed until 8 p. m. for the purpose of giving the committees time to re- port. Previous to adjournment, how- ever, a motion was carried to the effect that all resolutions must be presented to the committee on resolutions and without debate. The committees not being ready to report when the convention was called to order at 8 p. m., it adjourned until 9 4. m. to-morrow. The convention is perhaps one of the most representative bodies of Repub- licans ever held in this city. It is com- posed of 761 delegates, and among them are some of the most prominent men in the Republican party of the State. One of the noticeable figures on the floor of the convention hall was ex- Governor H. H. Markham, who is tak- ing special interest in the legislative fight. It is understood that he aspires to Senatorial homors, and he is one of the most persistent and energetic work- ers against a resolution which will be offered to-morrow indorsing Hon. Rob- ert N. Bulla for United States Senator. The Los Angeles Times is also said to have interested itself in the fight against Bulla, ang it is asserted that ‘W. R. Bacon, the chairman of the com- mittee on resolutions, khown to be op- posed to Bulla, was selected at the so- licitation of the Times people. The friends of Senator Bulla, however, are confident that he will receive the in- dorsement of the convention, notwith- standing the opposition of the parties who are fighting him, so that they may keep the field clear for themselves. Another important matter to come before the convention to-morrow is the question of balloting for candidates. A strong effort will be made to introduce the Australian ballot system of bal- loting, by which all of the candidates are to be voted for at the same time. There is, however, much opposition to the adoption of the system, and it is expected that the old style of ballot- ing will prevail. The defection of the Los Angeles Times is another question that will In all probability be taken up by the convention and will afford an opportunity of showing the feeling that exists against the paper because of its recent attack made on members of the State executive campaign committee.

In the old frontier days hundreds of pioneers were tortured and burned at the stake by cruel Indians. The tortures en- dured by these mar- tyrs must have been something horrible. There are thousands of men to-day who are be- slowly tortured to death at the stake of dis- ease. Their bodies cry out but in a language that only the sufferers themselves can hear. When a man is suffering in this way his bod: cries out with an aching head, a sluggis ‘body, museles that are lax and lazy, a%rain that is dull, a stomach that disdains food and nerves that will not rest. A wise man will heed these warnings and will resort to the right remedy before it is too late. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery makes the appetite keen and hearty. It invigorates the liver.
