REDWOOD CITY, June 11.—Timothy Guy Phelps, one of the most prominent | citizens of this county and of the State, | | passed away at his home at San Carlos this morning at 12 minutes after 11 o'clock. His death was the direct result of the criminal carelessness of two bicy- clists, having been run down by a tan- dem. On the morning of May 30 he started from the house with a bucket of nails and a hammer, taking the path along the county road and going south toward one of his fields. A short distance from home | he was overtaken by a tandem, going in | the same direction, and without warning | was struck down by the flying wheel. The force of the shock threw the riders from their wheel. They stopped long enough to inquire of Mr. Phelps where he was work- | ing, and on learning his identity they | made haste to depart. A driver for Mr. Hull, a dairyman at San Carlos, wit- nessed the accident and from him has been obtained a description of the wheel- men, which has been placed in the hands of the Sheriff. As yet nothing has been discovered which would lead to the cap- ture of the men. Mrs. Phelps has been prostrated by her | loss and is now confined to her bed. The arrangements for the funeral are now being perfected. Services will be held at the house on \Wednesday and in_all Dr. Horatio Stebbins of San who performed the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Phelps, will Captain Smith of San Carlos, | | Professor Christee of Berkeley and | | ¢ Leavy of San Franciso have | the arrangement om San | will be removed to . when_they will | in a vault until such time as | decides upon their final dis- | .

In 1860 Mr. Phelps was vice chairman ate convention which met in San o to send delegates to the onvention at Chicago which nc inated Abraham Lincoln for President. Subsequently, while servirg in Congress, Mr. Phelps frequently met President Lin- coln and gained the confidence and high | regard of the great President. At the Republican State convention held | at Sheramento June, 1861, Timothy Guy | Phelps was again a candidate for Govern- | or. with Leland Stanford his chief oppo- | | nent. The nominatinz ballot was 197 for | | Stanford and 104 for Phelps. In 1861 after | the Sacramento convention, Mr. Pheips was nominated for Congress and elected. | At the Republican State convention held | al Sacramento in Jume, 1575, Mr. Phelps secured the nomination for Governor. Later on quite a number of disgruniled Republicans brought out John Bidwell as | a candidate, and the result was the elec- | tion of Wiiliam Irwin, Democrat. Mr. | Fhelps' great ambition was to be Govern- | or of California, but the fates were against the realization of his hopes.

The contest was very ciose, Clunle’s majority being less than fifty. .\?r. Phelps served two terms as Collect- or of the Port of San Francisco. He was first appointed by President Grant in 1869 appointed the second time by t Harrison. Leland Stanford, who nited States Senator, secured Mr. Plelps’ second appointment as Collector. The death of Mr. Phelps causes a va- cancy in the Board of Regents of the State University, which Governor Gage will be called upon to fill by appointment. Mr. Phelps was active and earnest as a | Regent. He gave close attention to the aftairs of Mount Hamilton Observatory. In the board he was rated as a man of superior ability. | Mr. Phelps was a member of Yerba Buena Lodge No. 15, Independent Order of 0dd Fel- 1ows. Off to the Yosemite. STOCKTON, June 11.—Travel to the Yosemite by this route is the heaviest for vears. Hardly a day passes that some party of jolly campers does not pass hrough en route to the valley. The ex- rsionists generally arrive by boat, ringing their teams and camping outfits with them. The roads are not dusty yet, ind the travel Is more pleasant than it will be a week hence. Yesterday a jolly sarty rode out Main street in a large tage. There were seventeen in the rowd, all Oakland and Alameda people, umong them Misses Mae and Pansy Per- <ins, daughters of the Senator.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.,, June 11.—A special to the Tribune from Sioux City, Iowa, says: A tornado at 5:30 this afternoon struck two miles from here and killed three people outright and one more will die. The dead are: JOHN MALLOY, farmer. MRS. JOHN MALLOY, his wife. HARRY MALLOY, 16 years cld, son. Miss Bessie Malloy, the 18-year-old daughter, had her skull fractured and is not expected to live. Thomas and Pat Malloy are badly hurt. One other member of the family of father, mother seven sons and a daughter was injured. So far as can be learned at this hour | no one else was killed or injured. The | family was at supper when the funnel- shaped cloud was first seen, and Dick Malloy told his parents to go to the cellar. He ran to the home of Mrs. Hassell, a widow, across the road, to warn her and her seven children. He tock them to the cellar and the house was whirled away, injuring no one. He | had to hold one boy by the legs as he was being drawn up by the suction of the wind. But the Malloy family across the road only remained in the cellar about five minutes and the father suggested that the cloud was only rain. They came up, and in an instant the house was demolished. The dead and injured members were scattered about the ruins. The conductor of a freight train saw the cloud and stopped his train be- fore it got in the storm, and when he reached the town he held his train long enough to bring in the injured to the hospital at Sioux City. Wild re- ports are afloat of damage in Wood- bury County, but this cannot be veri- fied. At Homer, Nebr,, a revival tent was blown cver and an unknown woman was fatally injured. This is the sixth tornado in this dis- trict this season. WHITING, Iowa, June 11.—A tor- nado struck fifteen miles north of here at 7:30 o'clock to-night. Telegraph wires were prostrated and much other damage done. | OPPOSES DEMAND OR FREE LUMBER Sentiment Voiced in the Northwest. L INDUSTRY NEEDS PROTECTION A SENATOR FAIRBANKS GATHERS INFORMATION.

WILL EXPLODE BOMBS TO RECOVER BODIES Method Adopted in the Search for Victims of the Catamaran Disaster. STOCKTON, June 1l—Extraordinary efforts are to be made to recover the bodies of Mabel Kafitz and Walter D. Henderson, who lost their lives in the catamaran Wave disaster. To-morrow a party acting under instructions of Cor- oner Clark will search the river, usin bombs or dynamite on the surface or i some manner not to injure the fish. like to have carried the bodies will be searched. It is thought the bodies must be within a mile or two of where the ac- cident occurred, as there is an undercur- rent caused by the tide which does much the effect of the swift current which runs in the center of the river. Some question was raised as to whether this method is permissable under the law, but the Coroner will place the bombs on boards or in some kind of a contrivance so that the law for the protection of fish will not be disregarded. The search has been stimulated by rewards offered by citizens, who sympathize with- the sad condition of the mother of Miss Kafitz, who prays for at least the consolation of having her unfortunate daughter interred.

Between the vears 1884 and 1897 in- clusive there was appropriated for education in Alaska an aggregate of $415,000—a sum which had it been judiciously expended ought to have given Alaska a school system fairly commen- surate with the requirements of our peaple. We do not undertake to say that there has | been any dishonest or direct misappropriation | | of any part of this large sum of money, but we do aver that a considerable portion of it has | been frittered away | penses of wholly useless summer jaunts by the general agent of education to remote parts of the Territory and in the establishment of | schools at points where none were needed, un- less, indeed, it be conceded that the education | of the children of a people who | y day catch the ermine | “‘And by night chase other vermin'’ | Are to be given the preference over those of the intelligent white people who form the ad- vance guard in the march of civilization into Alaska. But for the reason that it belleves that a large amount of money has been uselessly ex- | pended, and, the truth not being made mani- fest, will continue to be expended under the direction of the general agent of education in Alaska, while vet the neglect of our educa- tional Interests is prolonged, the Grand Jury would hesitate to refer even causually to his extraordinary scheme for revolutionizing the mode of travel and transportation of mails and supplies in Alaska by the introduction of do- mesticated reindeer from Siberia. But we sub- mit that his utter neglect of the duties for the performance of which he is paid a salary and he consequent demoralized condition of our educational system demand and justify even a harsher criticism than that which follows. We charge that this man is untruthful, and that he has. persistently embodied in his officlal reports concerning educational matters in Alaska that which he knew to be absolutely false. He has charged time and time again in his official reports that the clergy of the Greco- Russlan church oppose the teaching of English in their schools and threaten parents that If they allow their children to learn English their boys will be taken away and put into the Ameri- can army as soon as they are old enough to do duty pal_Greco-Russian schools. If he has been guilty of deliberate falsehood in his official re- ports on education in Alaska what reliance is to be vlaced on those he makes concerning the use of reindeer in Alaska? The plain, sim- ple truth s that each and every attempt at the use of reindeer for transportation in Alaska has been a failure. The Grand Jury, therefore, eafnestly protests against any further recommendation for the importation of domesticated reindeer, and re- specttully begs and prays on behalf of a long- suffering people that the honorable Secretary cf the Interior may in his wisdom see fit to r lleve Alaska of the incubus of an officfal who enjoys neither the respect nor the confidence of any considerable portion of her people, white or native, and whose days of usefulness so far as Alaska is concerned were long since buried. SCENE SHIFTS IN THE Barboursville Now the Mecca of the Contending Xentucky Factions. BARBOURSVILLE, Ky., June 11.— Since the change of venue was granted at Manchester, Clay County, yesterday for the Baker murder trials to be held in the Knox County courts this city has been in a state of excitement. It will be impossible in this place, which has a pop- such a tragedy to occur as that at the village of Manchester yesterday, under the shadow of the court, when Thomas Baker, the recent defendant, was shot dead while a prisoner of the court. As Thomas Baker had killed Willlam White, a brother of Sheriff Beverly White of Clay ‘County, and as the crowd saw the rifie fired from a window in the Sherift's office at the time Baker fell dead into the arms of his wife, it is thought that there may be another trial soon and a change of venue to this place. ‘When Jesse Barrett turned State's cvi dence last Friday “Jim” and Dee Bake and Charles Wooton were released, as well as Barrett, the confession showing they were not implicated.

The four de- fendants were released by Barrett's con- fession, and now the fifth by assassina tion, leaving only \VHEK to be transferred to the jail here unless additional arrests have been made to-day at Manchester, a point twenty-six miles from a railway, telegraph or telephone station. Colonel Adams, who had a battalion and a Gatling gun at Manchester the past week and has done effective work not only in quelling the mob last night and in bringing refugees into court earlier in the week. but also in holding back the fighting feudists all week, was expected here to-day with Wiley and “Jim’ Baker, guarded I;X-the militla, but they have not yet arriv i The | in payment of the ex- | as_ soldiers, whereas the truth is that | English has always been taught in the princi- | BAKER-HOWARD FEUD ulation of between two and three thou- sand inhabitants, with good officers, for | were returned against Thomas Baker m\d.’ | and “Jim" Baker | GERMANY'S STAND CAUSES UNEAMINESS Prospect of a Failure of All Important Plans at the Peace Conference.

LR S S THE HAGUJE, June 11.—An authoritative contradiction is given to the report that there is grave danger of the arbitration scheme failing. It is pointed out that, although Germany may hesitate to recognize the prin- ciple, she has not yet raised any actual objection during the dis- cussion. + + + B 2 3 3% 3 + + + + +EE ALt 3 R R R R R R R WASHINGTON, June 11.—While | hopeful that some recommendation in the interest of peace and civilization will be made by the conference at The | Hague, considerable discouragement is | felt by diplomats and officials here as | the result of the announced hostility | of Germany to the plans for m(ernaf‘ tional arbitration. | It is undoubtedly true that Germany | is endeavoring to obtain sufficient votes | to reject the resolution favoring the | scheme for international arbitration, | and there is a disposition to believe | that she will get them. In this event one | important result of the conference, which the President and his advisers | expected, will not be accomplished, | and from present indications it looks | as though the meeting when it ad- | Journs will have failed to adopt any of the ideas which caused the Czar to is- sue his invitation. Information from The Hague is re- garded as indicating the certainty that no plan for the limitation of arma- | ments will be adopted,, and that there will be no important modifications of | the treaty of Paris of 1856, but there is | | et a chance that the majority of the | | conference will declare in favor of the | | scheme for arbitration of disputes to | be referred to a tribunal by mutual | consent of the parties thereto. | It is considered probable that the Geneva convention will be amended so | as to apply the rules governing | warfare on land to warfare at sea, but this is all that is now hoped for. | The authorities have recited the Brit- | ish scheme of arbitration, which Sir | Julian Pauncefote Is pressing, and | which is reported to have met whhg more favor than the American plan. | They sincerely regret that the confer- | | ence is unwilling to organize a per- | manent tribunal, as proposed by the | American plan, but every effort will be made to amend the British scheme so | as to embody in it the essential points | advocated by Embassador White and | his associates. e o o R . ] CURRENCY REFCRM 5 NOW I SEHT Next Congress to Take Action. g ATTITUDE OF HENDERSON —— NEW SPEAKER WILL HASTEN | LEGISLATION.

Mr. | Henderson was chairman of the Caucus Committee which drew up the pro- | | gramme, and he will exercise his power | as Speaker to bring it forward in the | House and cause its passage. | ‘While Mr. Hopkins probably would Mave done as much in the Speaker’s place as Mr. Henderson toward securing mon- | etary legislation, the advocates of cur- | rency reform are congratulating them- selves that Mr. Henderson rather than | Mr. Hopkins is to be Speaker. It is well | understood that Mr. Hopkins would not | | have exerted himself to bring the matter | up or have arranged the membership of | the Banking and Currency Committee so | | as to make an agreement on any partic- ular plan probable. | Efforts will be made to get the pro-| posed bill through both houses as soon | as possible, so that new legislation will have been in force some time before the Presidentlal election next year. The Re- | publican majority in the House is small, | but it is believed there will be little dif-| ficulty in securing a practically unani- mous vote of the party for such a mod- erate measure as that proposed. It is not impossible that Democratic support might be obtained for it.
