An effort was made to-day by Demo- cratic leaders in the Senate to make a | party question of the peace treaty with a view to binding members of the mi- nority to vote solidly against ratifica- tion. Five Senators, Gray of Delaware, Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, Faulk- ner of W Virginia, and Lindsay of Kentucky, openly declared their inten- tion of voting for the ratification of the treaty in its present form. These Sena- tors did not attend the caucus held in the President’s room on the Senate side of the Capitol. Senator Clay of Geor- was opposed to making a party ques- tion of the treaty and preferred to re- main free to vote as his convictions may dictate when the roll is called. The caucus, conference or whatever it may be called, was organized and con- ducted under the supervision of Sena- tors Gorman of Maryland, Vest of Mis- souri, Jones of Arkansas, White of Cal- ifornia and Caffery of Louisana. The caucus committee took possession and | of the President’s room and Democratic Senators were invited individually to If he had directed General e 09 0000006000060 9090 “step into the anti-expansion parlor.” There was a constant ingoing and out- coming for more than an hour, and during that period the Democratic strength against the treaty was pretty Iac(‘urfllely located. It is said that sev- |eral members besides Senator Clay | questioned the wisdom of making a | party question of the treaty. One of the Democrats who announced his in- tention to vote for the treaty informed me that the President proposes to call an extra session of Congress for March 10 should the treaty fail of ratification during this session. Under the cir- cumstances, this Senator argued, it would be foolhardy for the Democratic party to put itself on record as delay- ing action on the treaty of peace, which must be eventually ratified. The friends of the treaty are more confident than ever now that they have an assured strength of two-thirds of the Senate in favor of the treaty. THE GERMAN PRESS WANTS FAIR PLAY Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gor- don Bennett. BERLIN, Jan. 17.—The Xolnische Zeitung, commenting upon the dispatch denying that the Germans are con- spiring to support the Tagallos, says: “For the first time in the American press a word has been said in favor of Germany. Let us hope this is only the beginning of a policy of fairness.” PEACE VICTORY IN THE ARCTIC martial General Eagan. Recognizes the Men of the Bear.

Just prior to the Cabinet meeting General Miles made rather an un- usual call upon two members, Secretaries Hay and Long. He had just returned to the city from New York, and when spoken to with refer- ence to the Eagan case adhered to his original declaration that this was not a time for him to act, if he should act at all, leaving the implica- tion that if the commission did not act or the administration it would be time for him to take some steps. The President explained to the Cabinet that he had decided to or- der a courtmartial to try Commissary General Eagan for the abusive and violent language he had used respecting Major General Ever since the sensational event the President has been carefully deliberating over the matter and has had frequent consultations with army officers steps that should be taken, for he was convinced at the outset that the question for consideration was what action should be taken and not whether any disciplinary measures at all should be had. mination to take some action was vigorously expressed at Cabinet meeting, but the President reserved his final decision. General Eagan today filled with the commission an amended state- ment omitting all the objectionable statements he had applied to Gen- announced to the JANUARY 18, 1899. DNESDAY, JOURNALIST AND DIPLOMATIST DEAD SN e X > Uiy, N 7 i HON. JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—John Russell Young, librarian of the Congres- sional Library, died at his residence here at 8:45 o’clock this morning after an illness of several weeks. He was born in Downington, Chester County, Pa., November 2, 1841. He was educated in the public schools of Philadelphia and New Orleans. He secured a place on the Philadelphia Press in 1857 as copy boy. When John W# Forney came to Washington in 1861 to become secretary of the Senate he brought along Young. While acting as Forney's private secretary Mr. Young continued his writings to the Philadelphia Press. By his description of the first battle of Bull Run he won his spurs as a graphic war correspondent. He followed the Army of the Potomac to the end of the Chickahominy campaign. In 1864 he accompanied General Nathaniel P. Banks on the Red River expedition. He had contributed to the New York Tribune, and his pleasing style attract- ed the attention of Horace Greeley, with the result that in 1866 Young became managing editor of the paper. At that time he was only 25 years old. Young was in Paris during the days of the commune, which he has graphi- cally described, and he accompanied General Grant in his tour of the world. President Arthur made him Minister to China, and President McKinley named him in 1867 as Librarian of Congress. 4 NINETY-NINE CLUB ply free to the Government the right of way necessary for the proposed diverting of the channel.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—A Washington specfal to the Herald says: President McKinley has overruled the action of California in selling Mission Rock, in the bay of San Francisco, to a private corporation, and by executive order has turned the territory over to the Navy De- partment for use as a coaling station. It is understood that the Navy Department will take steps to condemn the property of the corporation_ and that a recommendation will then be submitted to Congress for an appropriation for the construction of coal sheds which will accommodate 150,000 tons of coal. This action of the President is the result of a recommendation made by Commander R. B. Bradford, chief of the Bureau of Bquipment, which was approved by Secretary Long, pointing out the value of Mis- sion Rock, and asking its transfer to the naval service. The Presi- dent directed the Secretary of the Navy to look into the title of the cor- poration, and this was found to be defective because the State has no Jurisdiction beyond tide water. The company has improved the rock by the erection of buildings and piers and it.is expected that it will charge the Government a high price for the property, especially as it will lose what it paid for the rock. At Commander Bradford's suggestion, the amount of coal to be stored at Honolulu will be increased to 20,000 tons. At present all coal shipped to the Asiatic station is sent from the Atlantic Coast, but as soon as the Mission Rock transfer is completed, it is thought that ship- ments will be made from that point. + #2030 505+ R+ RERIRIRNIRIRReNIRNeNe N+ N oR s RN+ RoReBoNeH PLENTY OF BIRDS | DIXON CLEVERLY BUT POOR COVER| MASTERS PLUTO Bake;'sfield Field Trials|Fight Ends in the Tenth Unsatisfactory.

This broke the coldness that had per- vaded the meeting up to this time and a flow of oratory broke loose from all quarters. Miner inquired if the Mayor were going to continue to present Co- lombet's name day after day. The question was ignored. Miner said he and three others had signed a commun- ication stating their objection to Co- lombet and if he changed his position now “he would be either a fool or a liar, and he would allow no one to place him In that position.” Mayor Martin said they could give ALASKAN MAIL SERVICE. WASHINGTON, Jfll;. 17.—The Postoffice Department to-day made a contract with the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, es at San Francisco, for mail along the thern Alaskan coast tka to Una a, including all in- liate points. The distance between hese points is 1600 miles, and every point n' that stretch will now have a_monthly service during the entire year.

The question of paying the city bonds then came up.

Mayor Martin declined to eaer a con- ference with the Councilmen, as he said it would be of no purpose. Council then adjourned till to-mor- row afternoon. PARNELLITES LOSE IN IRISH ELECTIONS DUBLIN, Jan. 17.—Judging from the results already known at midnight the Irish elections to-day have been re- markable for the success of the la- borers and the waning power of Par- nellism. The new feature is that women were allowed to vote for the first time. In Dublin the representation of labor | has been quadrupled, while the Parnell- ites have secured little more than half | their former strength, although, owing to internal dissensions in John Red- | mond’s party, it is rather difficult to give an accurate estimate. Mr. Red- mond himself has been elected for one ward, but he did not head the poll, and therefore misses the aldermanship. Timothy Harrington, member of Par- liament for the Harbor Division of Dublin, is in the same boat, having been topped by a new laborite. In Cork the Parnellites have done better, but they have failed to retain their former ascendancy, having now only a majority of one over the Dillon- ites, while the laborites have secured nine members. However, wherever the issue was be- tween a Parnellite and an anti-Parnell- ite, and the question was squarely fought, the Parnellites were victorious. Speaking generally, there is an increase of Nationalist power, but nothing like a rigorous exclusion of Unionists. o ek Cuba Now a Paradise. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald.

In connection with this organized ef- fort to make the sojourn of the wives of legislators and State officers pleas- ant, several women prominent in social circles have arranged to hold recep- tions at their homes in honor of the fair visitors to the capital.

The Club of '99 is supported entirely by the contributions of the ladies who comprise it, and members of the fair sex are only admitted to the receptions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—According to a report sent to Congress by the War De- partment to-day the proposed improve- ments of the Sacramento River include the construction of a dam located three miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide at the bottom and 24850 feet long thence to the north branch of Cala- veras River. The estimates include the cost of dredging, purchase of right of ‘way, changes o{‘fmdeu of h!?hwnys and bridges and dredging in lormon__and Stockton channels, aggregating $255,016. Major Heuer recommends that the city of Stockton should be required to sup- out, and had great difficulty finding store- age capacity for dredging material. To divert this silt it is I)ruposed to construct dam and canal the and enlarge Cala- veras River. The total cost of the pro- osed improvements would be a capital- zation of a yearly expenditure of cent. By direction of the Secretary of War, a board of officers is appointed to meet at the call of the president thereof at thé Presidio of San Francisco for examination of such officers as may be ordered be- fore it to determine their titness for pro- motion. Detail for the board: Lieuten- ant Coloney Henry Wagner, Fourth United States Caval Major Edward B. Mosely, surgeon ited States army; Major David H. Kinzie, Third United States Artillery; Captain Henry C. Danes, Third United States Artillery; Captain Isaac P. Ware, assistant surgeon United States army; First Lieutenant David J. Rumbough, adjutant Third United States Artillery, recorder. First Lieutenant John M, Neal, Fourth United States Cavalry, will report in per- | son without delay to Lieutenant Colonel ‘Wagner, president of the board, for ex- B.‘mlnxuion as to his fitness for promo- tion. Surgeon Charles H. Andrews, United States army, is relieved from further duty { at Huntsville, Alabama, and will proceed | to San Francisco and report to the com- per | nia, to accompany the troops on the first | transport sailing for Manila, where, on | his arrival, he will report to the com- manding general, Department of the Pa- cific, for assignment to duty.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.—One’ new case of smallpox was added to-day to the cases known to exist. It is that of James Holgerman, whose brother con- ducts the Red Star grocery, 307 East Seventh street. The store has been quarantined. The case is regarded as a critical one, and the fact that it was not promptly reported causes much anxiety in the Health Office. Stringent measures have been taken by the offi- cials of the Health Department to pre- vent a spread of the disease, which was first brought to the city by a gang of Mexican laborers employed on railroad construction work. Several cases are in the pesthouse, and others are quar- intined in their houses. The society queen, Mrs. Dr. Carl Kurtz, has recovered and been dis- charged from the pesthouse. The official order issued by the School Board commanding compulsory vaccination of children has evoked much criticism. The full extent of the opposition to the order requiring all school children to undergo vaccination or be excluded from the public schools after the 23d inst. will be determined to-morrow night at Music Hall at a called mass-meeting. ——— Shafter Nears San Francisco.

As on Mon- day, birds were very plentiful and cover exceedingly sparse, making the trials unsatisfactory. The poor cover is attributed to lack of sufficient rains during the past season. A sufficient | number of birds for good contests are | found only in the morning because they take to the dense undergrowth along the river during the latter part of the day. The contests to-day were un- | eventful. The first series of the derby | was finished, and all but one brace of | the second series run. | The following dogs won in the first | series and were matched for the second | series in the derby: Romeo vs. Vals- mark, Ashbury vs. Merry Heart, Glad- | star vs. Veronacal. The latter brace will be run early to-morrow morning at Stockdale. After deciding the Derby stake the all-aged stakes will be run. The en- trance fee to this stake is $10. The dogs entered and matched are as fol- lows: Alex C vs. Senator; Fannie G | vs. Countess _Glenbeigh; Orion vs. Sambo, Count Harold vs. Cuba of Ken- wood. This stake is still open to dogs | in the derby. The derby winner will | probably be entered to-morrow morn- | ing after the finish. The club now intends running the all- | age stake to-morrow, and the finals on Thursday, concluding the meet on Fri- | day with the Champion stakes. The | remainder of the contests will be run | as rapidly as possible, on account of the unsatisfactory conditions. Everything so far has been perfectly harmonious. George W. Richards and | J. M. Kilgari judge all contests and | give splendid satisfaction. The weather | conditions to-day were perfect and | promise to remain so the entire week. The dogs are in good form, and every- thing favors close contests except the cover. Forger Held for Trial. ANDERSON, Jan. 17.—Fred Nelson, the forger, arrested at Cottonwood a few days ago, was bound over to appear before the Superior Court. Nelson forged Attorney T. G. Matlock’s name to a check and passed it on E. G. Carter, a merchant of Cottonwood. out came in the shape of a left swing in the stomach which crushed the wind out of the latest arrival among the short haired fraternity in this coun- try. Pluto was heralded as a world beater by his friends, but although he is very clever in defensive work and undoubt- edly game, he was never dangerous. Dixon soon battered down the Afri- can’s guard and early in the fight dem- onstrated that he was Pluto’s master. As the rounds passed Pluto’s strength was fast ebbing, while Dixon showed no signs of distress, but on the con- trary seemed to gain renewed energy and forced his opponent all over the ring. He rained lefts and rights on head and body, receiving only an oc- casional blow in return. In the ninth round he should have knocked his man out, as the opportunity presented itself for a right swing on the jaw. Dixon did not try to take advantage of this chance, as he plainly saw that Pluto | could not go much further and he was right in so judging. Pluto looked weary when he came up for the tenth round. Dixon sent four lefts to the face and a right to the head. Then, with a left on the stom- ach and a right on the jaw, Dixon floored his opponent. Pluto got up in- side of three seconds, when Dixon be- gan to rush him all over the ring, land- ing lefts and rights at will on the body. Pluto was unable to guard him- self, and after Dixon had pummeled him into his corner, Dixon let him out only to go after him with a finishing blow, a left swing on the pit of the stomach, which put Pluto down and out. Pluto lay on his back for nearly twenty seconds, and then his seconds Jumped into the ring and carried him to his corner. Although Dixon cannot hit as hard as formerly, his wonderful cleverness still stands by him, and it looks now as if he would be able to hold his own against all comers for a long time to come.
