Dev- lin, State Prison Director, to-day filed with Governor Budd a supplement to the biennial report of the Board of State Prison Directors, in which he ar- gues against the introduction of the indeterminate sentence system. He holds that it is open to many grave ob- jections, among them being the fact that those in'authority would be con- stantly subjected to political pressure to allow the release of persons not en- titled to release. The report says: I believe that punishment should be in- fluenced not only for the reformation of the prisoner, but for the protection of soclety, and, that as much error can be committed by extreme lenfency as by extreme severity. - If, however, the State belleves that it can stand the expense, I would suggest that the indeter- minate sentence system applied to persons un- vears of. age would be productive of good ts, but I also wish to add that I think it would be impracticable to apply it to the | State prisons. The parole law, in my judgment, should be amended so as to exclude from its operation persons convicted of arson, forgery, rape, or any degree of homicide, and possibly some other offenses should also be excluded from ruary to fight Jeffries, but O'Rourke said that if Mitchell gave him positive assur- ance that he would meet Sharkey here in March he would delay his departure to the Pacific Coast. O'Rourke says he will insist upon a side wager of at least $1000, It Mitchell will agree to fight here, Rourke says he will allow him $500 for training expena ARCHBISHOP OF MANILA WILL BE RECALLED Incurs the Pope’s Displeasure by His TUnfriendly Attitude Toward America.

The intenton to recall the present Arch- bishop of Manila is shown by steps al- ready taken toward the selection of a new Archbishop.

Armed Men on Guard to Block Its Attempt to Extend Its Road Into Clearwater Valley. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Dec. —The Northern Pa- cific Railway is preparing for a bitter fight with the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company in Clearwater Valley, Idaho. Armed Pinkertons un- der Chief Detective Nevins are on guard at Lewiston with authority to call to their assistance 300 graders now at work in Clearwater Valley. The rea- son for this is the fact that the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company pro- poses to cross the Northern Pacific track a few miles above Lewiston. The Northern Pacific crosses Clear- water River several miles east of Lew- iston, coming from the north to the south side on which Lewiston is lo- cated, and proceeding thence to Lewis- ton. The Oregon Railway and Naviga- tion Company proposes to busd up the north shore of Clearwater, passing Lewiston and proceeding to Harring- tons Mill, where it will cross to the south side and then double back to Lead THE MAINE, ONE OF THE NEW BATTLE-SHIPS RECENTLY CONTRACTED FOR. The Navy Department Decided That One of the New Battie-Ships Authorized by Congress Should be Named the Maine, he Others Are t he Missouri and Ohio, the Latter to Be Built at thé Upion Iron Works.

She had threatened on several occasions to tell some unpleasant things about some of the asyluni attaches, and for this rea- | son, it is said, more than one were glad to see her start East. Dr. Curnow, chairman of the Board of Managers of Agnews Asylum, takes no stock in_the theories of murder and suicide. He says all such talk is*bosh.” Dr. Curnow is confidefit that Dr. Spon- ogle and other physicians at the asylum are in no way connected with the girl's death, He insists that her uncle in In- digna had agreed to ‘take and care for her. In-an interview he said: “There -i8 something peculiar about Bessie Bailey’s death, but there is no such mystery as the papers would have the people believe. I do not believe there is anbody connected with Agnews Asylum- that would give the girl any mediciné whatever except for her good. Her threats about . having something mysterious to tell, or ‘a bomb to ex- plode,” were nothing but idle talk and the delusion of an insane person. One prominent feature of certain phases of insanity is to surround everything with mystery. They commionly claim to have secrets which they hold over people's heads. “As to the suicide theory, I don't be- lieve in that. In the first place, the girl was not smart enough to know the na- ture of drugs. If she wanted to kill her- self she would have got something peo- ple are familiar with—morphine, strych- nine or carbolic acid, all of which any physician could detect. Her insanity was the reverse of anything suicidal; she was not depressed and went away smiling, happy and buoyant. The talk of foul play is hardly worth discussing. ‘Who could have had any motive in tak- ing her life, for she knew nothing detri- mental to any one? Besides, better op- portunities could have been had to kill ‘her at the institution than on' the road. “In carefully looking over the whole case, I have concluded that taking nervines, sedatives, etc., and having a somewhat weak heart—and anodynes and nervines have a tendency to com- press the heart’s action—coupled with the high altitude, resulted in her death. The high altitude 1s always a serious matter in heart troubles, and the girl in all pmbahllity died of heart failure.” Dr. Curnow commented on the method of Dr. Welr of Bruckee in prescribing bromide of potassium, if the reports in the newspapers were correct. Dr. Welr says he purchased a half ounce of bro- mide of potassium, which he instructed the trainmen to give her in four ounces of water if she appeared nervous when she awoke. She was to be given a tea-~ spoonful every half hour. This was a very big dose,.and, if it had been di- luted in a lesser quantity of water, ‘would have injured her. Frank Gould arrived at the asylum to-night, and to-morrow he and Cur- now and Hale will meet and discuss the investigation. Gould is also put out.over the dismissal of W. E. Biggy, one of the operation- of this law. Offenses that show premeditation and a maliclous heart should certainly be excluded, and in cases of crimes of violence, society has a right to fix an arbi- trary punishment for the purpose of preserving peace and order. Another suggestion it seems to me that should be made for the consideration of the Legisla~ ture I a law providing that a person who has been thrice convicted of a felony should be deemed to be a habitual criminal and con- fined for the term of his natural life, The question of utllizing the two State prisons at Folsom and San Quentin so as to confine in one the hardened class of crimi- nals, and in the other those for whose refor- mation some hope may be entertained, is worthy of careful consideration. This could be done at comparatively trifing expense by authorizing the wardens to select from the aggregute number of prisoners now confined in our prisons those whom it is deemed be- long to the class of hardened criminals, but such a classification would probably have some effect upon our industries, and & reor- ganization of our prison industrial system might have to be had as a result of such classification. BRYAN BEFORE THE ALABAMA ASSEMBLY Being a Soldier, He Declines to Dis- cuss Matters That Now Interest the Country. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 3.—Colonel W. J.'Bryan of the Third Nebraska Reg- iment was received to-day by the houses of the General Assembly. He was intro- duced by the president of the Senate and ?ecllned to discuss public questions, say- ng: ‘‘Being a soldier I cannot speak to you with the freedom of a civililan. I would sE eak, if 1 sgnke at all, under limitations at would be unpleasant to me. What I would desire to say to you as a citi- zen I could not say as a soldier. I cannot now discuss those things that at present engage_the attention of the enfi.Pre na- tion. Neither would I care to discuss those things we discussed two years ago, but which are not yet laid away to eter- nal rest. Neither could I discuss those matters which have ‘as a result of .ne late war a broad fleld for speculation.” There was considerable enthusiasm as Colonel Bryan ruumea his seat. MITCHELL 'B TEB.IS SUIT. Sharkey’s Mangget ‘Will Let the Eng- lishman Name the Date. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—The international fight between Charles Mitchell and Tom Sharkey will not take place before March next, and the latter can now make ar- rangements to fight Kid McCoy in Janu- ary. .In response 1o Sharkey's acceptance of Mitchell'’s challenge and his offer to fight him in January, Mitchell cabled that he could not get into condition to fight before March, but that he desired the match and xequeszed that articles of ufre ement be to him at once, and he ccndltlons were mtllr-.ctoty he would plflx them % traini ‘When Mitchell issued the challenge he deposited $1000 in London, and the same amount O’Rourke covered on behalf of Sharkey, The mm- lllD\Ill.ted that the fight must take l.nury as he delh-od to go to Bln Francisco in Feb- i Juan Forgas on Tuesday. The Spanish commission was advised to-day that by Monday next the evacuation of Batabano and the entire line of San Felipe will have been finished. This will complete the evacuation of the entire island west of these points. deed of sale of the Tacon Theater to nn American syndicate for $350,000 was signed yesterday, the property passing into the hands of the Tacon Realty Com- any.

DECLINE OF FRUIT TRADE WITH GERMANY Result of the Rigid Enforcement of the Berlin Decree Against Importations. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Consul Mason of Frankfort, Germany, in a report to tne State Department, says that, notwith- standing the protests of fruit importers, Germany will continue to enforce the de- cree against importations on account of the alleged danger from San Jose scale. The American fresh fruit trade with Ger- many may, therefore, be expected to de- cline as rapidly as it developed two years ago, to be replaced, it is hoped, by a cor- respnndmg increase in the large and steadily growing import of Amerfcan dried and preserved fruits. But even here tnere is need of extreme care, for the German inspection of these imports s keen and relentless, especially on imports from the United States. A new defect has been found, viz,, the presence of sulphurous acid in California dried apricots. —_— HEAD-END COLLISION OF ENGINE AND OWL Fool Bird Pierces the: Glass of the nendlight and Lives to Screech About It. STOCKTON, Dec, 3.—The train hands on the local train which came in to-night from San Francisco tell of a head-end col- lision with an owl that seems too large to belleve. ‘When the train was bowling along this side of Livermore at about fifty miles an hour an owl struck the he: ht and went through the thick glass as cleanly as would a cannon-ball, making a hole about lour inches across. The owl survived, and was found inside the lamp when the train reached Stockton. RELINQUISHES HIS OFFICE. Age Weighs Upon the President of the Province of Colombia. COLON, Colombia, Dec. 3.--Ds. Manuel Sanctemente, the recently elected presi- dent of the province of Colombia, has re- linquished his office for a period of sixty days. Tt is thought that most likely he will not again undertake the cares of vernment, owing to his extreme age. nor Marriquin, vice relldent, w']ll as- sume the dutfes’ cf cm’ L executive Lewiston, In doing so it must cross the Northern Pacific. To prevent this at all hazards is the Northern Pacific’s object in employing Pinkertons. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company has landed material with the apparent object of stealing a march on its rival at night. To prevent any such coup the Northern Pacific grade is be- ing patrolled nigkt and day. Last night Right-of-Way Agent Watt and Attorney Wiison of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company ar- rived in Lewiston. To-day they have been in consultation with fthe com- pany's representatives there. It is be- lieved they may abandon the idea of crossing the Northern Pacific grade by force and gain their point instead by condemnation proceedings which can be done under the Idaho laws. It is stated to-day on apparently good authority that the Northern Pacific has beaten President Hill of the Great Northern at his own game by purchas- ing the Union Pacific’s half interest in the old grade between Tacoma and Portland. This transaction occurred a month ago and has been kept quiet for obvious reasons. By purchasing tax liens against this grade Hill has secured the upper hand, but the Northern Pa- cific can maintain its title to its half interest by going into court and reim- bursing Hill f-r half of the taxes paid by him. The Northern Pacific could then prevent Hill buildine to Portland over this-grade without its consent.

Second Engineer Murphy Perishes at MHis Post, While Two of the Fire- men Are Found Dead in One Another’s Arms. Speclal Dfspatch to The Call, NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Six men of the crew of the Mallory line steamship Alamo were killed to-night by the bursting of a steam pipe while the ves- sel lay at her pier in East River. The dead: PATRICK MURPHY, gineer. THOMAS McHUGH, fireman, PATRICK FARRELL, oiler. FRANK McMAHON, fireman. L. CONNELL, fireman. J. RYAN, coal heaver. The injured: John Stoneman, senger, Albany, seriously scalded. The Alamo has only been discharged recently from the transport service of the Government, and was just over- second en- pas- steam pipes and boilers. She was about to sall for Galveston. She carried thirty passengers. At the time of the accident, about 7 o’clock, the ship cast off her lines and the tug- boat President had her line taut to as- sist the Alamo into midstream. Her engines had made but two or three revolutions when the explosion came. It gave forth a report that was heard all through South and Water streets, and the force of it sent a shock and shiver throughout the length of the ship. The flooring of the deck imme- diately over the engine-room was torn into splinters and the steam poured up through the open seams in clouds. The sound of the escaping steam was mingled with the shrieks of the dy- ing men who were enveloped in it. The flow of the steam was checked, with great difficulty, and not until the lapse of five or six minutes. Then it was found that it had completely filled the | engine-room and fire-room, and all the men confined there had been not only parboiled, but suffocated by it. There ‘was no sign of life in any of the bodies, and in several instances the skin had peeled from their hands and faces. The second engineer was found close to the break in a position which indi- cated that he had tried to shut off the steam at the boiler when the accident occurred and had died in the attempt. Two of the firemen were found gripped in one another’s arms at the foot of the ladder leading from the fire-hole. WOULD DON A TOGA. Newlands a Candidate for !anator Nevada.
