WOULD BENEFIT EACH NATION NOT PROJECTED WITH A MER- CENARY VIEW. Says the Two Countries Have Inter- ests in Common and Will Come to a Better Understand- ing of Each Other. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Nov. 16.—Joseph berlain, who was the guest of the Con- servative Club in this city this:even- | his ing, in replying to a toast to health, spoke at length on colonial matters. He said that almost all inter- national troubles of recent years had arisen from the competition of nations for the undeveloped territories on the world's surface in the possession of barbarous tribes or decaying nations. He dwelt upon these vast tracts as “outlets for the teeming populations and trade of civilized nations.” Mr. Chamberlain predicted an im- mense future for Rhodesia and Great Britain's other acquisitions in Africa, | even the Gold Coast and Lagos, "“when medical sience shall have succeeded .in avercoming malarial dis es.” He warmly defended Govern- ments’ Chinese policy, contending that Great Britain “had good reason to be gatisfied with the results obtained as compared with other power Regarding the contention that Great Britain ought to have an agreement with Russia, he said: “Experience has taught us that we require a better guarantee than a pa- | per agreement to secure the policy of an open door. The b security, my opinion, is the d e of other na- tions, like Japan, Germany and the United States to preserve an open door. | Japan is becoming an important power, With whom our relations throughout have been those of cordial friendship, while with Germany and the United States our relations, 1 rejoice to say, are now closer and more cordial than they have been for some time. “Germany and the United States are the two great commercial nations whose interests are identical with ours. In what I have said I have not meant a permanent, formal treaty of alliance; nor need I say this now but that a speech of mine some months ago gave rise to misinterpretations. “Those persons are very premature, very much mistaken, who think that | Great Britain is in need of an alliance for her own security or in order that other powers may pull her chestnuts out of the fire.” This was received with loud and pro- longed cheering, which greeted every reference to the United States. In an eloquent peroration Mr. Chamberlain developed this theme, declaring that if England ever needed an alliance she would give as much as she received, ~ but that she would never need more aid, in his opinion, than would cheer- fully be afforded by her own children. He scorned the idea .that England ghould fear German competition, as he belleved, he said, that Anglo-Saxon co- operation and influence would prove {rresistible, and that there was no rea- son why, even without an alliance, Great Britain’s friendly relations with Germany should not be strengthened. “T rejoice,” he said in conclusion, “at the change that has occurred in the re- lations between Great Britain and the United States. To us they stand in a relation different from that occupied by any other people. I know a hundred reasons why we should be friends, none why we ghould be otherwise, and I be- leve that has been the true feeling of this country toward the United States for many years. All misunderstandings have been happily removed and the combination of the two English-speak- ing nations would fear no other alii- ance. ! “Our imagination must be fired when ‘we contemplate .the possibility of such a cordial understanding between the seventy million people - of the United States and our fifty million Britons—an understanding which would gunrantee peace and civilization to the world. We shall welcome the United States in their new career as a colonizing nation be- cause we know they are animated by the same motives and aspirations, em- ploy the same methods and lova justice as ourselves; and such a new departure will, doubtless, as Lord Salisbury has said, serve our interests, not in any sel- fish or mercenary sense, but because It will give each 'a better undersianding of the other’s Work, increase our sym- pathles, bring us closer together and muke easy and inevitable that most desirable co-operation.” SIBYL JOHNSTONE DIES IN LONDON -s of the Actress’ Demise Not Made Public Until Two Weeks Later.

Both vessels experienced excellent weather. The Zealandia ar- rived on the 7th with the Tennessee Regiment. Since their arrival the men | have behaved admirably. From state- ments on both sides there seems to be | some bad blood between the New York- | ers and Tennesseeans, but it is believed | this is confined to a few men only. Last night members of the two regi- | ments had dinner together and were around together to a late hour, | The transport Ohio left for Manila on the 7th; the Indiana followed her this | morning. The Zealandia will sail on the 11th inst. The Arizona left the Pa- | cific Mail wharf on the 7th, at 4 o’clock, with the Camp Otis troops, bag and | baggage, and General King and staff on board. She sailed out of the chan- | nel and anchored outside, where she will remain at least three, days to see whether any cases of typhoid or other serious diseases will’ develop from the infection it is feared the men have been exposed to in the camp. Yesterday morning proved the wis- dom of this plan. One case of malig- | nant typhoid fever developed, and three cases of high fever, the exact na- | | ture of which has not yet been deter- | mined. The typhoid patient will be brought ashore some time to-day, and the other three patients as well, un- less they show decided signs of im- | provement. The promptness _with | which typhoid has developed aboard | causes the gravest apprehension among | the thousand men about to start on a | twenty days’ voyage through tropical | | seas. General King is himself a very sick | man. He is confined to his stateroom. | He has had fever, and while his con- | | @ition s not considered serious, he is | | suffering a great deal. | | No one from the vessel will be al-| | lowed ashore, except on Iimperative duty, while she remains at anchor, for this probationary period. The town was fllled with martial mu- sic and the steady tramp of soldiery yesterday morning. Two companies of | the New York Regiment with the band, | in heavy marching order, and accom- | panied by four wagon loads of equip- | ment, came {n from camp to go to Hilo. | There were 189 men in the detachment, | mostly from Companies L and M. The Tennessee Regiment, Colonel | Smith commanding, came ashore about 10:30 for a march and drill. Headed by the band the column proceeded up Fort street to Hotel, out to Miller and to the baseball grounds. The movements in the manual ¢f arms in town and the drill on the outskirts were very pretty, The Southerners were the recipients of many compliments. 5 President Dole reviewed them in front of the Executive building just be- fore noon. There are to-day nearly 300 patients under treatment at the various United States hospital camps. About 200 New | Yorkers are on the sick report. Still conditions are improving. They have been worse in a way. About 20 per cent of Camp Otis has been on the sick report for some time. One Nebraska company leaves behind it here in the hospital twenty-three of its best men. This is out of a contingent of 106. Other companies' are in the same de- plorable fix. Private McKuren, Company M, First New York, died on the 3d inst. of typhoid. He was born in Kingston, N. Y., and was in his twenty-fifth year. Thomas F.Lennon, Company A, First New York, died at, the Military Hos- pital on the 4th inst. of typhold fever. He was a native of West Stockbridge, Mass.; age 22 years. Corporal Oscar R. Wheeler, Company E, First New York, died on the 7th. (!!-Xls remains will be shipped East to- ay. Engineer Geertz, who was so badly shocked in the electric light wire acci- dent some weeks ago, is in a very bad way - at the Military Hospital. He seems to be out of his head, and a part of the time has to be closely guarded. In his imperfect physical condition the shock he sustained was too much for him. The appearance of a case of smallpox on Quarantine Island causes no alarm in town. The Board of Health has a thorough command of the situation. Dr. Day is treating the patlent, and is also directing a strict quarantine to prevent the spread of the disease to other patients or to the town.

The New York ‘“election booth” was opened at sunrise, and as each one re- ported at the voting place he was ob- liged to state under oath that he had not received any pay for his vote. An envelope was then given to each voter, which contained the list of the offices to be voted for, and the boys were ob- liged to fill in the names of the candi- dates of their choice. Companies K and M, which left for Hilo yesterday, voted before they. left Colonel Raosevelt; the Republican ca | didate for Governor, will receive a ma- Jority of the votes in the regiment. The Vote for the fighting colonel of the Rough Riders would probably have been greater if the letter which-he sent Secretary Alger,. wherein he spoke slightingly of the volunteers in the present war, had never been written. The Pennsylvanians held their elec- tion aboard the Arizona. The Kansas regiment had the “warm- est” time, as there was something of a contest between the officers and men as to who should run things. The offl- cers, it seems, had formed a small-sized political ring and intended to conduct the election in accordance with their own ideas. The boys thought differ- ently regarding the matter, and when the election board was chosen the offi- cers found that they had been turned down and not a man Wwith a shoulder strap was made a member of the board. Sergeant B. J. Mitchell of the quarter- master’s department was chosen chair- man of the board. The ballot box ‘was placed on a large table on the wharf. 1t is estimated that about 500 votes were cast. It is generally belleved that Governor Leedy, the fusionist candidate, was “snowed under” by An- thony, Republican, Leedy sent the men to San Francisco without their uni- forms. CONTRACT LABORERS STRIKE IN A BODY HONOLULU, Nov. 9.—An incipient riot among the new Galiclans on Oahu plantation culminated this morning in an ugly outbreak. Sixty-eight laborers marched into the city in a body and called on John F. Hackfeld, their Con- sul. Mr. Hackfeld, assisted by Dr. Peterson, conducted a careful investi- gation. They had numerous imaginary grievances and wanted to throw up their contracts. Some of them said they would go so far.as to stand arrest and imprisonment before they would go back to the cane flelds. A difficulty with Luna Valentine of the plantation seemed to be the immediate cause of the outbreak. Mr. Hackfeld's decision was short and positive. He told them that. their complaints were unfounded, that the objectionable Luna had been taken from them, and that they must go to work at once or the plantation would be justified in taking legal pro- ceedings to compel the execution of the contracts. The laborers could take their choice then and there. Four men stepped out and said they were satisfied and would return to work. Warrants have been sworn out and are being served on the strikers this afternoon.

MAY. INTRODUCE FREE TRADE | SOLICITUDE FOR AMERICAN WORKINGMEN. Hopes That the Peace Treaty Will Minimize the Dangers and Re- sponsibilities We Must Assume. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Nov. 16.—The annual meet- ing of the Home Market Club was held | to-day. Colonel Albert Clark, secre- tary of the club, in his annual report, considered the question of national ex- pansion from an economical standpoint, and said: “It is greatly to be hoped that Presi- dent McKinley will so frame his treaty of peace with Spain as to minimize the dangers and responsibilities which we must assume as the result of the war. On October 19, at the quarterly meeting of our officers, all the New England States being represented, there were many strong expressions of personal opinion against the policy known as ‘national expansion,’ and there was no expression in its, favor. Some think our opposition is because expansion and protection will not be yoke-fellows. That will depend upon how the new acquisitions are treated. “If they are helped to independence, as I think they should be, or are gov- erned as colonles, as those not able to govern themselves ought to be, if the constitution will permit, a tariff may be maintalned between them and the United States ~which will reasonably protect both and at the same time give reciprocal preference. But if they are annexed and made a part of our coun- try, the provision in section 8, article 1, of the constitution, that all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States, and the provision in section 9 that fo tax or de- mand shall be laid on articles exported from any State—which has been held to apply also to Territories—may have the effect to practically. introduce free trade in such articles as sugar, tobacco, hemp, fruits and various ores and all other goods produced in the annexed regions, and as it is impossible to bring working people in these countries up to the American standard their action would seem to expose our industrial population to unrestrained competition with low prices and ill-conditioned and eoolie labor. “If we must have an expansion policy how can the party which has always favored protection to American labor ever again look a workingman in the face? We do not oppose, but we favor the finding of foreign markets. We are gaining them constantly. Hitherto conquest has been peaceful. The best of them are in, countries which are self- governed and for which we have to assume no responsibility and bear no expense. We can continue to increase our trade in those countries, but we can gain vastly more by preserving the conditions of domestic prosperity and cultivating the home market with equal care. Let us do both.” Chessmasters Matched.

Hours Lost in Setting Up the Chemi- cal Engine, Payment for ‘Which the Officials Had Delayed. BY HAL. HOFFMAN. Special Dispatch to The Call SEATTLE, Nov. 16.—The sudden de- cision of the captain of the up-river steamer Ora to run chances on making White Horse Rapids before the ice could stop him was the means of the carrying of the news of the big fire at Dawson to the outside world. The Ora left on October 20, six days after the fire. All of the previous night she had lain with steam up. Early in the morning it was decided to make the at- tempt, and she left on two hours’ no- tice, crowded with passengers at $200 each for the trip and $2 each per meal —pork and beans and bread and coffee | three times a day. It was owing to this unexpected and sudden determina- tion of the Ora’s captain to buck the Yukon and the threatening winter that | the Dawson correspondents were not ! prepared to send out any matter on the fire. Had it not been for the Ora there is a probability that the news of the | fire might not have reached the coast | for a month or more, and a possibility | that it might not have been known un- | til spring. The trip up was made in | having been met at this side of White Horse. Private Mullins of Montreal, a mem- ber of the infantry, was on the roof of | Svendgard’s drug store fighting the fire, when he lost his footing and slid over | a flaming surface to the ground. A blazing beam fell on his neck, and but for the timely assistance of people in | the crowd he would have been killed. He is severely but not fatally injured | and is in the hospital. A log wall fell over on G. O. Ellis, whose head is burned and bruised. Dan Millon was struck on the head by the less. The big joke of the conflagration is on a man named W. A. Jones. He thelr lines fast to that cabin in not much more time than it requires to write it and pulled it down upon Jones’ | head. Jones’ head has some bumps on | it, and he was very angry. Private Enfield o Al Haskins was badly wrenched by jumping from a roof. Eyebrows and mustaches were scorched to the roots on many men. During the fire a fusillade of shots was heard in several buildings which had rifie and revolver cartridges to sell and the crowd scattered hurry-scurry. Business in all Dawson was entirely | suspended during the fire. |~ Boodwin Bros., on the water front, saved their stock by lowering it with ropes to the beach below while the front of the building was burning. Pat Galvin’s meat market was saved, though buildings were burned all around it. Dick Lowe last a building in the fire. ~He is said to be now in San Francisco. He is the lucky man who has already taken $225,000 out of a fractional claim of 80 feet with the pay streak as yet unexhausted. A build- ing back of the ‘Worden Hotel, occu- pied by Esther Duffey and owned by Willilam Chappell of No. 30, El Dorado, was destroyed; loss, $8000. The conflagration might have been prevented if the property owners had got together and paid for the chemical and steam fire engines which had been lying in pieces on the ground for weeks. The engines would then have been set up and ready and the fire would not have spread beyond the Green Tree sa- loon, where Belle Mitchell threw the lamp. The disposition was not favora- ble to paying for the apparatus, and the procrastinatfon has cost Dawson not less than $700,000 in actual damage and at least $700,000 in loss of business before buildings can be re-erected and ready for business. There is a lesson in this for Juneau and Skaguay, neither of which has bet- ter than a hand engine. If any en- terprising man can put wings on sev- eral million feet of lumber and sev- eral tons of glass and fly it in over the sfbw summits . this winter he could make a good thing to lay up to-during the remainder of his natural life. But it should not be tried without wings. Sending the Christmas Box to Manila, By Alice Rix, In Next Sunday’s Call. —_—————— HIGHWAYMAN NEARLY TURNED LOOSE AGAIN Martinelli’s Loose Methods as Dis- trict Attorney Excite the People of Marin. SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 16—Over two months hge Victor Colwell was arrested for highway robbery and incarcerated in the County Jail on a complaint sworn to by District Attorney Martinelll. There existed no doubt regarding Colwell's guilt, for not only was he caught with the money taken from the driver and assengers of the stage running between olinas and this city in his possession, as well as certain articles that were iden- tified by the owners, but the prisoner ad- mitted xfln gullt to the arresting officers: As the facts showed clearly that a con- viction could be easily had, the public looked to the District Attorney for a speedy prosecution of the case in order that the county might be spared the ex- pense incidental to a long confinement prior to the trial. For over sixty days the District Attorney did absolutely nothing looking toward a trial, and this in spite of the fact that the law allows only sixg days in which a preliminary examination may take place. The re- sult of this policy is now seen to good advantage. A few daF- ago Attorney James W.

TRAGEDY AT EMPORIA, KANS.K UNTIMEY END OF CHARLES S. CROSS. When the Institution’s Doors Close He Retires to His Ranch and Kills Himself With a Bullet. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. EMPORIA, Kans, Nov. 16—This afternoon the First National Bank of Emporia was closed by order of the Comptroller of the Currency. An hour later Charles S. Cross, the bank’s presi- dent and one of the best-known breed- ers of Herefords in the West, shot and killed himself at his farm near the town. Speculation is sald to have ledto Cross’ downfall. His fortune had doubtless gone down with the bank. Among the heavy losers by the failure are Lynn County and the city of Em- poria. All the city and county funds were deposited in the institution. Cross was custodlan of his father’s estate, which is also said to be in a wrecked condition. Cross’ ending was tragic. To the majority of the people of the town the Comptroller’s card on the door of the bank came as a surprise, but in finan- cial circles both here and throughout the State the result has been expected for six months. Examiner Charles Jobes, who closed the bank on an order from the Comptroller, has been going over its books for the past week. There was a smile on Cross’ face as he passed his friends on the street. He went immediately to the Sunny Slope farm and, speaking pleasantly to the employes, passed into the bedroom of Manager Evans' house. When he did not come-out-Evans entered the room, | He found the banker lying in a pool o blood with his pistol in his hand. Death must have been instantaneous. The news of the suicide was on the streets of Emporia a few minutes after the card appeared upon the bank door and created an intense sensation. The bank’s statements have been growing bad . since last May. Small withdrawals of depositors resulted, but most of the business men kept faith in the bank and up to 9 o'clock to-day heavy deposits were made. The last statement is shown as fol- lows: Liabilities—Capital, $100,000; sur- plus and profits, $101,289 53; due to de- positors, bankers, $513,599 42; circula- tion, $22,500; total resources, $737,388 95. Examiner Jobes has been wrestling with the problem of the-assets for a week and it is authoritatively stated that he found them badly shrunken. He said: “While I do not know exactly what the outcome of this matter will be, I think I am justified in saying that the depositors will not suffer seriously. Yet when a thing like this occurs it lops off 25 per cent of the assets of the bank at one blow.” WASHINGTON, Nov.16.—Mr. Dawes, the Comptroller of the Currency, has issued an order closing the First Na- tional Bank of Emporia, Kans.,, and has appointed Charles S. Jobes receiver. The bank's last statement, September 20, says: “Capital, $100,000; surplus and profits, $101,289; due to depositors, other banks and bankers, $513,599; cir- culation, $22,500. TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. 16.—As a result of the failure of the First National Bank at Emporia, State Bank Commis- sioner Breidenthal to-night directed the State Bank at Madison, Kas., to sus- pend business. According to its last report the Madison Bank had $39,000 in the First National Bank of Emporia. It is not thought that any other banks will be involved MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM AN AWFUL DEATH Oregon Express Passenger Dragged About a Hundred Yards by the Leg. ANDERSON, Cal., Nov. 18.—An uncon- scious man was found lying near the rail- road track half a mile north of Ander- son this morning by section men. He had fallen from the Oregon express at 9:30 last night. One of his legs was broken and his head bruised. He regained con- sclousness ' this afternoon and gave his name as-A. Tingvall.
