CANADA NOW SEEKS FURTHER CONCESSIONS Will Ask That Goods Imported Into the Dominion From Alaska Be Free of Duty. WASHINGTON, June 12.—While ful that the modus vivendi with Great Britain respecting the provisional Alas- kan boundary will be settled upon the lines laid down by Embassador Choate, there seems to be some apprehension in official circles that the London govern- ment will demand further concessions. So far as the boundary itself is concerned the two governments are near enough agreed to make it apparent that there will be no hitch as to the location of the 1 There seems to be a disposition to hope- | believe that in view of Canada's failure to secure a port on the Pacific for her | great Northwest Territory she will urge the British Government to ask of the| United States that all goods imported | into the Dominion from the Alaskan coast be permitted to come in free of duty and that a certain zone be set aside through which goods could pass without hin- drance. * This proposition has not yet been lutionar tionalists and anti-Sem- ® | ites hope, in their opposition to M.

Greely, chief sig-| nal officer of the army, to-day re- ceived a cablegram from Manila stating that the California volun- teer signal corps would leave this week for home. They will go di- rect to San Francisco.

The commander-in-chief offered to retire the Monadnock from her trying | duties and replace her by another ship but Captain Nichols preferred to re- main, declaring that he did not want to leave his post until Paranaque fell and the coast clea from there to Cavite was red of rebels. The heat on Satur- was most severe and the monitor s engaged all day in shelling the nches at Paranaque and the rebels fleeing south through Las Pinas and also watching the American troops losing in on the towns. Captain hols was overcome by the heat at noon and retired to his cabin, where | he received frequent reports of the operations and gave directions for sev- | eral hours.

The letter personal in its char- acter, General Corbin did its contents. In and not make public discussing it with several frlends General Corbin stated that eral Otis has written that Western volunteers were the best fighters in the world, but the hardest to control on the fir- ing line.” He meant by this that the Western volunteers could not accustom themselves to remain- ing under cover when there was an opportunity to charge the en- emy and drive it from its posi- tion. This is the highest possible praise for the volunteer organi- zations, and is an excellent com- mentary upon the character and fizhting proclivities of the West- ern volunteers. n- the L e S S e S S >+ et ® 4o»+¢449¢¢¢¢+¢¢0¢«¢¢»v»¢¢¢¢o»¢ R o e g g g g 2R 2R S e o o R o g DR R R e e T SR SR S Y A volunteer officer, now on duty with | his regiment at Manila, has written the | following letter to the Associated Press: | MANILA, P. I, May 8—Until the ar-| rival of the last mail from home, the volunteers in the Philippines were ignorant that General Otis had informed | the War Department that they desired to remain in the service so’‘long as there is fighting to do: The dispatches to that effect, as given out by Gereral Corbin, occasicned much surprise and some ill- feeling in the volunteer ranks If they felt that their services were needed, the volunteers would stay and fight to the end without a murmur. But they do not believe that conditions warrant their detention. Moreover, a pronounced resentment exists among the volunteer officers and men over the at- titude maintained toward them by Gen- eral Otis and the War Department. Before the beginning of an aggressive campaign, it was freely given out in Manila and Washington that General Otis did not deem it expedient to attack | the insurgents with his volunteer force, but would awalt the arrival of trained | and seasoned regulars to put down the in- surrection. Six weeks of Inactivity went by in the best season of the year for campaigning. When several regiments of regulars at last arrived, they were put into the fleld with regiments of volun- teers. It required less than a week for the commanding generals to ascertain that the volunteers could, and did, fight all_around the . regulars, ‘with Infinitely Commued on Becond Page. | south of Highway bridge, and that the MANY VICTIMS OF THE STORM. Number of Killed and In- jured Runs Up Into the Hundreds. BURKHARDT, Wis., June 13.—A messenger from New Rich- mond has just arrived and telegraphed to Hudson for doctors and help, saying a storm struck the town last night and a large number of people were killed and wounded. The railroad tried to get out a special train, but was unable to do so on account of washouts. Al the available doctors and many other persons are now driving across the country to New Richmond, being piloted by the messenger. killed and injured are believed to number between 200 and 500. TILLWATER, Minn., June 12.— This was a terrible night for New Richmond, the beautiful little vil- lage being almost wiped out of existence by one of the most severe cyclones that ever visited the locality. It carried ruin and death in its path, and at this hour it is impossible to give even a partial list of those who | are dead or serfously injured. It is thought many are dead. News of the disaster was brought here by J. A. Carroll, a traveling man from Port- age, Wis.,, who was stopping at the Nicollet House in New Richmond when the cyclone struck the town. He saw the funnel-shaped cloud as it came up the principal street, and he took refuge in the basement of the hotel, which was completely wrecked, together with every other business house in the city. In the terrible sheets of rain follow ing the cyclone Mr. Carroll and his comrades succeeded in rescuing the proprietor, Charles McKennon, his wife and one child from the debris, and they also removed- a laundry girl, who was seriously injured it is not thought she could possibly live. They also re- moved two men named Barrett and Newell, who were very seriously in- Jured. Mr. Cadrroll S0 drove to Stillwater by team for relief, and a train left with doctors at 12 o'clock. Carroll fur- ther ¥s that fire followed the cyclone and what is left is being consumed by flames. Many people are doubtless | killed and the damage will run into | hundreds of thousands of dollars. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 13.—A dis- patch was received at 2 o'clock this morning from Jewett Mills, announcing the arrival there of the Wisconsin Cer- tral train. A. Mr. Cutter, in the em- ploy of the Central, sent a dispatch co the local offices of the road saying that the town of New Richmond was gone estimated number of killed will reach 150. Many of the houses, Mr. Cutter | , were consumed by fire after the clone. Many people were killed, he says, while attending a circus which was showing there. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 12.—A | quarry about special to the Times from North Wis- consin Junction, Wis., says: A courier from Boardman just in reports that the whole town has been wiped off the face of the earth, and while no definite rews can be obtained at this time of the casualties it is presumed that many were injured and possible some killed. It is known that Dave Hefferon is severely injured and his wife killed. A courfer just in says New Richmond has been also wiped off the map and that 200 or 300 people are injured. A special to the Tribune from Hud- son says: One of the most terrific cyclones ever witnessed by the citizens of Hudson passed through the country about 5:30 p. m. It formed in a water- spout four miles south of Hudson on Lake St. Croix. It was witnessed by hundreds of people and seemed to fol- low the lake and to be making directly for the city, but about two miles south it veered to the east and left the lake and crossed the country. It was about twenty rods wide and destroyed everything in its track. The first building struck was over on the farm of F.. C. Mattison. One edge of the storm struck his buildings, twist- ing his barn out of shape and throw- ing his windmill some rods. It then struck the Gridley farm. The family, seeing it coming, fled for a large stone twenty rods from the house, where they remained safely un- til it passed. The house is a small brick one and held to the foundation, but the shingles were torn from the roof. The cyclone veered to the north, leaving the buildings unharmed but tearing large oak trees three feet in diameter out by the roots and twisting them into every conceivable shape. About. one-half mile northeast from there it struck the buildings or H. L Mattison. Just before the storm reach- ed the place the family and farm help fled to the cellar. The cellar had just closed when the crash came. This place was directly in the line of the storm and not a building, tree, wagon or piece of machinery is left whole. The house was completely swept from its founda- tion and nothing remained but the Continued on Second Page.

OUTRAGES IV IDAHO Temporary Dismissal of Complaints Aganst the County Commis- sioners and the Sheriff. PSR shils 1 BY HON. PATRICK REDDY. ‘] Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | ALLACE, Idaho, June 12.—The ( effort of the Governor, Sinclair and other politicians to remove the Sheriff and County Com- missioners to-day failed. Judge dismissed the proceedings them. The Attorney General immediately filed a new information | against Sheriff Young and the State’s | attorneys promised to do likewise in | the Commissioners’ cases. The' incar- | ceration ot the Commissioners is one of | the most dastardly acts yet perpetrated by the Governor. There is no pretense that they were in any way connected with the recent riots, yet they were thrown into the “bull pen” and kept there simply because they would not | knuckle to Sinclair and the mine owners. A most pitiable story is that of Mrs. Stewart, whose husband is con- fined in the “bull pen’” because he | dared expose the inhuman practices in vogue at the prison in his paper. Mrs. Stewart has three small chil- dren, the youngest not yet four months old. After the arrest of her husband, the plucky woman con- tinued to issue the paper herself, set- ting the type and running the press. Last Thursday a company of soldiers accompanied by two of the Coroner’s deputies came to her place and in- formed her they had come to confis cate her property so that she could not publish the paper. They carried away eighteen cases of type and all the advertisements which were set up. Mrs. Stewart was entirely de- pendent upon the paper for a living, and is left destitute. That the white soldfers do not relish the job given them is evident by the remark of a sergeant to Mrs. Stewart, who said that while he had to obey orders, he thought the authorities were in damned small business in sending a company of cavalry to rob one poor ‘woman. That the insanity of the prisoner Johnson who was shot at by the negro soldiers was caused by the outrageous conduct of Coroner France is beyond | Stewart | against NATIVE DAUGHTERS ~ OFF FOR STOCKTON o) BEVY of handsome women in a gally decorated car was the star attraction at the Oakland mole last evening.
