WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—The Secre- tary of the Treasury to-day made an fmportant ruling in which he holds that Chinese Consuls in foreign countries are not- authorized to {ssue certificates to privileged classes of Chinese entering this country. The effect of this ruling will be to pro- hibit the entry into this country of the rivileged classes except upon presenta- flan of certificates issued by the Imperial Chinese Government. In view of the fact that the Government has never issued certificates of this character, it is lleved that comparatively few Chinese, even of the exempt classes, will apply hareafter for admission. | METHODISTS AT~ EVIDENCE OF A SANTA BARBARA Second Day of the Con~- ference. REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS CHURCH WORK ZHRIVES UN- DER DIFFICULTIES. Preparing to Send a Great Number of Missionaries to Our New Pos- sessions in the Far East. Special Dispatch to The Call.

Hough of Los Angeles. T. . Miller reported the Fresno dis- trict, making touching reference to deaths and other afflictions in the homes of many ministers. In his dis- trict, he said, that notwithstanding the drougls no backward steps had been taken. In the face of the depression work in the district had gone steadily forward, debts had been pald and im- provements made. George F. Bovard of Los Angeles dis- | trict reported three new churches, oth- ers improved and debts decreased.

This evening Dr. Spencer, who is also general secretary of the Church Ex- tension Society, addressed the confer- ence in the interest of this work. The greater part of the routine work of the conference has been disposed of and at to-morrow’s meeting there will be several very interesting addresses. Chaplain Lozier will address the con- ference veterans. A very large per- centage of the conference is composed ar. of veterans of the civil HUMBOLDT AT SEATTLE FROM ST. MICHAEL Brings Many Passengers From Daw- son City, But Few of Them Have Gold Dust. SEATTLE, Sept. 22—The steamer Hum- boldt arrived here to-day, from St. Michael, Alaska, with 230 pas- sengers from Dawson City. The major- ity of them were ‘‘cheecharcos” glad tv | get back to civillzation. a few who had any gold dust. David Beilenberg had the largest sack. He tola Purser Taggis that he was bringing out $60,000 spending money. urser Taggls estimates the total amount of treasure brought down on the steamer at $100,000. The troops that were taken up from San_ Francisco on the Humboldt left St. Michael September 9 for Rampart City on the steamer Arnold. The steamer Leelanaw sailed from St. Michael for San Francisco September 10 with a small passenger list. A report was brought down that six- teen men had been drowned while try- ing to reach Golofnin_ Bay In a small open river boat from St. Michael. Dili- gent inquiry among the passengers fails to elicit any definite information as re- gards this rumor. Passengers report that new diggings of great richness have been discovered on Ophir Creek, near Golofnin Bay, causing a great stampede from St. Michael, The news was taken to the mouth" of the Yukon by Government officials and the steamer Bertha at once left with 140 pros- pectors, mostly returning Klondikers, for the supposed El Dorado.

SALINAS, Sept. 22—Alone with her dead husband In a country miles from any habitation was the sad lot that be- fell Mrs. C. J. Fox yesterday. held developed that Charles J. Fox, a prominent citizen of San Diego, and well known all over the State, had been fll h;iim heart trouble for many years. He a his wife began a tour of the State last spring, visiting all the prominent places from Lake to Monterey County. yesierday morning they left King City for Jolon and San Antonlo, In the Santa Lucia mountains. All went well until a steep grade, over three-quarters of a mile in length, was reached. Half way up the pass Fox com- plained of illness, descended from the wagon and lay down beneath some trees for a short rest. In a few moments he awoke, complained again of severe pain over the heart and immediately toppled over in a faint. Mrs. Fox picked him up and with the assistance of passers-by placed her hus- band in the vehicle, which was rapidiy driven to Jolon, some thirteen miles dis- tant. Reaching Dutton’s Hotel medical aid was summoned, but before it arrived Fox had breathed his last. Deceased was a prominent civil engin- eer, a native of Boston, and 64 yvears of age. the family of J. D. Staples of San Fran- cisco.

His Cabin Ransacked and His Pock- ets Rifled—Two Missing Neigh- bors for Whom the Police Are Searching. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 22.—In view of a discovery made to-day little doubt remains that old John Burns, the fish- erman found dead in his lonely cabin on Black Point, near Novato, was foul- ly murdered in order that the assassins might secure a sum of money believed to be concealed in the vicinity. When Coroner Eden brought the remains to town last night the only sign of vio- lence discernible on the body was a | slight discoloration on the left temple. To-day the discoloration has turned.to | a livid red spot the size of a silver | dime and the flesh near it has taken | on a mottled bluish appearance. It is belleved that the fisherman must have been struck with a sandbag, as | any other instrument would have made | an abrasion of the skin. Only a slight blow would have been necessary to kill Burns, as in addition to being very feeble from his advanced years, he has been ill for some time and had grown very emaciated. The old fel- | low was over 60 years of age, and dur- ing the last twenty years has lived alone in his little cabin on Black Point. He was known to huntsr.en and fish- ermen from all parts as ‘‘Massa John.” Near him lived two other fishermen who could not be found yesterday by Constable Louis Devoto. A summons has been issued for their presence at the inquest to-morrow and they will be carefully questioned. Another fact that tends to prove Burns was murdered is the condition in which his cabin was found when Coroner Eden went ofter the. body. Everything was thrown about helter- skelter, boxes pulled out of a corner and opened, the pockets of some clothes hanging on the wall turned in- side out and most of the clothes re- | moved from the body. The case will be thoroughly investi- gated and every effort made to find the murderers, if the Coroner’s jury de- cides a crime has been committed. The two fishermen living near Burns are regarded as most important witnesses. TWO MORE VICTORIES FOR THE BALTIMORES Equal the Previous Record of the Season, Which Is Held by | Themselves.

GREAT HASTE THE ORDER THE BATTLESHIPS TO PAUSE ONLY FOR COALING. This Action Is Intended to Impress Tpon Germany the Sea Pow- er of the United States. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: As an indication of the haste which will be observed by the battleships Ore- gon and Iowa in making their voyage to Honolulu, and then to Manila, it can be stated on authority that they will make but three stops between New York and the Hawalian Islands, in or- der that they may reach their desti- nation with all possible dispatch. The stops to be made will be due to the necessity of recoaling the ships, and this operation will be attended with some vigilance and expedition, as was the case when the Oregon made her famous run from San Francisco to Key West. The authorities continue to be | silent as to the reason for the dispatch | of the battleships to the Pacific and the reason for the haste to be observed, but, as the Herald has stated, the ac- tion is of a precautionary character and designed to impress Germany with the sea power of the United States and the intention of this Government not to permit any interference with the dis- position to be made of Spanish islands in the far East. ' The date of the sailing of the battle- ships cannot be definitely fixed by the Navy Department, but their orders re- quire them to sail when they are ready for sea. i”.“i”’)fi”V’C;FOWD”'ii.’iiii’i’“;;;Oliiii’i’i’)’iibii?iii"i”’.i”.""’i”’i”i?i’i’.”’)”i’ POSSE ON THE TRAIL OF CONVICT GOULD He Steals Food, Raiment and a Shot- | gun From a Cabin Near San Anselmo. SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 22.—Late this| evening a boy llving near San Anselmo | rode at full speed Into town and breath- lessly informed Sheriff Harrison that Al-’ ton H. Gould, the convict who escaped | from San Quentin last Sunday evening, had made his appearance at a cabin near | San Anselmo, occupled by a farmhand | named Clark, had stolen food and wear- | ing apparel and had armed himself with | a shotgun before leaving. The boy said | the neighborhood was terrified, and begged the Sheriff to go to the scene. Sheriff Harrison and Constable Louis | Hughes hastily gathered a posse and left | for San Anselmo. The surounding country was scoured for the convict, but it was too dark for ef- fective work, and the posse had to return. A guard was left to watch for Gould’s re- turn. The knowledge that the desperate man is armed has thrown the residents | | into a very excited state. | At 10 o’clock a hunter came into town in & bug and’“informed Constable | BY Hughes ana Sheriff Harrison that he had met Gould on the Olena road, between San Anselmo and Fairfax.

It is believed he will be captured before morning. COLONEL PRYAN AT WASHINGTON Requests the Discharge of Only Cer- tain Members of His Regiment. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Colonel Wil- liam J. Bryan, Third Nebraska Volun- teers, was at the War Department to- day. Nelther to the Acting Secretary of War nor to the adjutant general did Colonel Bryan or Governor Holcomb make any request as to the mustering out of the Third Nebraska Regiment, or allude to the desires of Colonel Bryan in reference to the subject. After leaving the War Department, Colonel Bryan and his party went to the White House. They were cordially re- celved by President McKinley and re- | mained in conference with him for more | than an hour. They dld not proffer a| request for the mustering out of the regi- ment as a whole, but only for the dis- charge of such members as are disabled bfi* isease or have peculiar calls upon them.

Defense Springs a Sensation in the Murder Case. FRESNO, Sept. 22—The fourth day of the trial of Frank Darby, accused of kill- ing Louls Boldini, developed a sensation. It was shown by several witnesses tuat the party of which Boldini was a member had but one gun and that this had been taken to Mendota by one Sanches pre- vious to the shooting. But it developed on the cross-examination of Constable Adams of Mendota to-day that there were two guns in the party, the one taken to Mendota and the one which was found in the wagon when ‘the constable visited the scene of the murder. It is thought now that the defense will endeavor to show that Boldini was killed by a member of his own party. The introduction of the second gun into the affair caused a decid- ed sensation.
