MINERS AND FARMERS JOYFUL FOREIGN CAPITAL CERTAIN TO BE ATTRACTED. A s E. R. Lilienthal Foresees Great Pos- sibilities—I. W. Hellman De- clares 1900 Will Be a Banner Year. S gui ey It s the universal opinion of banking and commercial men that the early rains which have just visited the State will prove of incalculable benefit to every in- dustry in California. Statistics show that a wet October presages a heavy rainfall for the ensuilng season and should that rule hold good there is no doubt that the year 1900 will be a wonderfully prosper- ous one. One effect of momentous import to the | State which this extraordinarily bright | prospect insures will be the attraction of foreign capital to this coast, which in a measure had been discouraged, owing to | the dry season of 1597-S. The abundant crops of 18%8-9 hardly had the effect of restoring confidence in the stability of this State for large investments, by rea- | son of the fact that rain only came at the | itical moment to save its reputation for Sbundant crop productions. Now that all Signs point to good times as a result of the wet season that is to be, increased revival in every branch of trade is looked for, and a \‘nnseqllenlmincreasc in the in- v ts from outside sources. ‘e'Is‘)tlTeil:‘A;ustry which has benefited im- mediately by the rains is mining. generous downpour means an early re- Sumption of work in many mines, both placer and quartz, which have been closed down for months owing to lack of water, This means employment for thousands of workmen, besides the spending of large sums for necessary machinery appliances and supplies. Besides this the rain guar- antees early feed on the mountains, thus insuring a bright outlook for the cattle and dairy interests. It Is the experience of wheat men that heavy early fall rains in the last and first months of the year, | and then lfttle rain until March and April, V' n most beneficial. e e ienthal, president of the Crown Distilleries Comp and head of the firm of Lilienthal & Co., Who possesses large agricultural Interests in the Stat is opthusiistic in his ideas of the ben accrue to the State by reason of the auspicious beginning of the | fall. b m“"!‘-‘ri:vm an agricultural standpoint, said he, “the recent rains mean much for California. The good crops of 1899 nce that the present rain- and the assu crop will fall gives us for next year's Undonbtedly attract forelgn capital to our Agricultural lands, as well as to other for investment. As opportunities : o ural consequence I can see possibili- ties of enormous magnitude and an era of prosperity eclipsing that of the present Pear, which has been liself nighly pros; OUS.

The Ootober rains help the farmer be- canse it enables him to fall-plow his BT this signifies bountiful crops and plenty of money which cannot be mathe- matically calculated, but will run up in the millions and place -California on a sound financial basis which will do much for its future development.” 'S, "Hellman, president of the Ne- vada National Bank, is another firm be- | liever in the bright outlook for this State, owing to the early inauguration of the ¢ season. Ty was a good rainfall at the proper time,” sald Mr. Hellman in an inter- View, “and it is the beginning of a good season, It will encourage every industry in the State and the benefits have already been very large. With a bountiful rain- fail to follow, next year will be the best California has had in many years. All | branches of trade will receive a stimulus that I am sure will make 1900 the banner year of prosperity in the annals of the State. And let us not forget that the present yvear has been exceedingly pros- perous in all lines of commercial enter- prises. “The rainfall has already relieved the financial stringency to which the farmers were subject in the past, and plentiful rains this season will place them beyond the reach of harassing mortgages. “The early rains will likewise be ex- tremely beneficial to the wine industry, which forms so essential a part of the State’'s resources. It will cause an in- creased growth of vines and an added vield of grapes. It may not be advisable %o be over-sanguine regarding the splendid future in store for California, but there can be certainly no mistake made in predicting a prosperity the equal of which she has never before experi- enced.” —_——————————— MAY DRIVE THE CREES OUT OF THE COUNTRY Captain Watson Says an Effort Will Be Made to Send Them Back to Canada.’ TACOMA, Oct. 22.—It is announced on the authority of Captain Watson that the TUnited States army will next spring un- dertake the task of rounding up thieving Cree Indians in Eastern Washington and Northern Montana, and send them across the border, where for the second time they will be turned over to the Canadian authorities. About 3000 of these Indians are roaming about in the States named. They are the remnant of the tribe which Lfl\lis Riel led in rebellion in 185, After that war they drifted southward and have persisted in remaining in this coun- try. They are known as the dirtiest Indians in the West, and it is believed they have DR. HIRSC HFELDER’S FAIT IN OXYTUBERCULIN FAINT R. J. O. HIRSCHFELDER of oxytuberculin fame returned to San Francisco on Sunday last after an absence of a year and a half. Dr. Hirschfelder spent most of that time in Paris, experimenting at the Pasteur Institute. The doctor vig- orously denies the rumors of his phys- ical and mental collapse that have been rife during his absence. He ascribes these reports to a mistaken conception of what the Pasteur Insti- tute is—some evidently confounding it with a sanitarium or asylum. Dr. Hirschfelder has taken his con- sumption cure off the market. He ceased to furnish his agent with it on January 1. The stock on hand is ex- hausted. and it is now impossible to obtain any of it. The discontinuance of the sale of oxytuberculin is taken as a conclusive proof that Dr. Hirsch- felder himself no longer believes that he has solved the consumption riddie. The local medical fraternity, which was up in arms on the subject when Dr. Hirschfelder first introduced oxy- tuberculin, now generally discredits its utility. At the time there were strong factions for and against Dr. Hirsch- felder. Those who are in a position to know declare there will be no further at- tempt to debar him from the County resume his duties as an Instructor at R R o O R RCR SCR SOR SR SR SO SO IR SR S -] 00000000000 00004045400060-000 0000004063400 600000+ DR. d.

Captain Watson believes that the coming Congress will pass a law mak- ing it a penal offense for any Cree In- dian to livesin the United States, and that sufficient money will be appropriated to hunt up all the Cree renegade bands and force them to return to Canada. Before the Riel rebellion the. Crees were the most powerful tribe in the Canadian Northwest Territory. They received an- nuities, had fertile reservations and wére prosperous until Riel and Gabriel incited them to rebel. TRUSTS WILL NOT BE SEVERELY CONDEMNED Speculation as to the Report That Will Be Made by the Indus- trial Commission. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—That so- called trusts and combinations will not be unqualifiedly condemned in any re- port that the Industrial Commission may make to Congress seems evident from the general tone of questions put by the members and such incidental comment as they have made while witnesses have been testifying. In the hearings of the last two weeks, which have brought the sessions In Washington to a close for the present, it has been made very evident that the attitude of some of the members of the commission toward great corpora- tions have been materially changed since the sessions of early summer. 1t is realized that great corporations are now’a part of the industrial system of the country and attempts to regulate them must only be made after most care- ful study, if the danger of substitutin greater evils than those now complained of is to be avoifled. The commission has been much impressed with the part that the great aggregation of capital in indus- trial corporations, aided by railroads, is playing in building up the foreign com- merce of the country. This point was first forcibly brought out by John D. Archi- bald of the gta.ndard Ofl Company. It has since been emphasized by witnesses representing the great iron and steel com- binations and the whisky trust, who have contended that if a foreign commerce in American manufacturers is to be built up and maintained it must be done by large corporations. — NEGRO SOLDIERS ARE HELD FOR TRIAL Testimony of the Thirteen Accused Men Before Commissioner Mar- tin Very Damaging. GLOBE, Ariz., Oct. 22.—The thirteen negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infant- ry accused of beating with clubs four Tonto Indians on the night of October 13 at San Carlos Indlan Agency had a pre- liminary hearing yesterday before United States Court Commissioner Charles T. Martin. The testimony of the Indian wit- nesses was unimportant, they being un- able to identify the prisoners. Sworn statements of the defendants themselves were damaging, showing probable guilt sufficient to justify the action of Commis- sioner Martin, who held the defendants each under $500 bail to appear before the United States Grand Jury. The prisoners will be taken to Florence to-morrow, where the United _States | Court of the Second Judicial District | meets November 20. The Indian police- man whose skull was fractured by a blow dealt by George Young, a soldier, is still in a precarious condition. There is no excitement among the Indians at Carlos and yesterday's proceedings indi- cating punishment of the offenders will have a salutary effect. SCHOONER HERA IS SHORT OF SUPPLIES PORT TOWNSEND, Wash.,, Oct. 22.— The schooner Hera, with 200 passengers from Cape Nome and St. Michael, is re- ported by the steamer Lakh-Me, arriv- ing to-day from Cape Nome, as being in | distress in latitude 49 degrees and 7 min- | utes north and 126 degrees and 40 min- utes west, or about six milest off Cape Flattery, for want of water and provis- | ions. The Hera spoke the Lakh-Me yesterday but the latter vessel could render no as sistance, as she had several hundred pas sengers from Nome, and having made an unusually long trip down, her larder was about empty. How long the Hera's pas sengers and crew have been without food or water is not known. A strong off-shore wind Is blowing, which “‘chl'lrevflnt the flera entering the straits, and It is feared much suffering will result before relief reacnes: her. tugboat with supplies will leave here to- night. e I O SAND BURR LODGED IN HER THROAT OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 22.—C. F. Harris and daughter, Miss Harris, of Murray, Cass County, Neb., are in the city. Fri- day Miss Harrls, while at school, met with a very painful accident. In some way a sand burr lodged in her handker- chief and in using that article the burr was drawn into her throat. She was taken to the village physicians, but no | relief could be afforded her and the father brought her to Omaha. Several physicians were called upon yesterday, but up to last night not one was found who could bring forth the troublesome burr. It appears to be lodged far down in the throat, having imbedded | itself in the flesh. It {s very painful and distressing, the young lady being unable { to eat, talk or sleep, and all the nourish- ment taken since the accident has been of a fluld character. Fears are enter- tained that a surgical gperation will be necessary to remove the burr. CONSOLIDATION OF BIG RAILWAY [INTERESTS CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—The Chronicle to- morrow will say: As a corollary of the Pullman-Wagner consolidation deal the readjustment of railroad stockholders on an enormous scale is said on high authority to be the next move on the boards. with very close relations to_the Morgan financial syndicate of New York, now in Chicago, is authority for the statement that the next few months will witness a sweeping consolidation of raiflroad in- terests. The plans of Morgan and his allies, ac- cording to the authority quoted, are no less than the welding together of the railroad Jnterests controlled by the Har- riman, Gould and Vanderbilt interests. - PERISHED IN A BLIZZARD. Nine Men Known to Have Been Lost in Montana. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 22.—A special to the Times from Great Falls, Mont., says: Nine men perished in the recent blizzard. Five bodies have been recovered, and it is probable that this is not half the lost. The last l)od‘; found was that of H. Her- rald, a sheepherder. The shecp had eaten off his beard, clothing and part of his boots. Several bands of sheep without herders have been wandering in that country and point to unknown deaths. REVOLUTION EXTENDING.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Meetings were held in six halls in this city to-night o | mark the beginning of the crusade of the | Catholic Apostolic Church, which will en- deavor to arouse the people to a realiza- tion of the second coming of Christ to rule the world. The speakers declared that all signs pointed to the return of the Savior In the near future, and they | warned their hearers to prepare. | The Catholic Apostolic Church was | | founded in Scotland in 1827, and it ob- tained a foothold in this country sixty years ago. The present crusade has been advertised by huge posters and in other | ways. The adherents of the sect, which has two churches in thig city, do not be- lieve that the world is coming to an end and are careful to distinguish themselves from the Adventists. Meetings were held in Carnegie Hall, Chickering Hall, Young Men's Christian | Association Hall, Harlem and the Brook. {lyn Academy of Music by English-speak- | ing evangelists, and in Cooper Union and Saennerbund Hall, Brooklyn, by German | speakers. ~George Lewis, who spoke In | | Carnegie Hall, sai ‘“Men have done | their best and their worst to the church | of God for eighteen centuries, and she | stands to-day a sorrowful exhibition of | their devasting work. It is time to ex- | pect that the Lord will himself arise and | come_to the help of his loved church.’ | J. B. Ravenport said in the Saenger- | bund Hall: “The terrible feature of the social arrangements will make men see that God alone can regulate the nations, and then he will send his son, Jesus | Christ, again to help men out of their troubles. Trouble will make men cry out, ‘Jesus, the son of God, and he will| | come to their ald and_ rule gloriously. | | But in his mercy he sends warning and a | | chance to repent. He has restored the | | Apostles to his church and they have sent six evangelists to this city to cry out to repent and turn to him. So prepare for | H. | | the second coming of Christ, who is the | | hope o nations, as well as 'the hope of church.” Other meetings will be held next Sunday evening. LIPTON WILL TRY AGAIN FOR THE CUP Was Favorably Impressed by the Treatment Accorded Him by American Yachtsmen. NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—8ir Thomas Lip- ton spent to-day on board his steam yacht Erin. During the greater portion of the morning he was busy with his secre- taries, but in the afternoon he took a rest. He saw a few visitors, although hundreds of small boats floated around the big yachts. Some of the most venturesome went up to the gangway and sent cards | on board. The owner of the unsuccessful | cup challenger talked freely to a reporter | and chatted for more than an hour about his plans for the future. E “I shall not challenge for the cup next year,” he said in reply to a question. “You see the time is all too short to de- sign a boat, build her and have her tuned | up to concert pitch to race next fall. | shall, however, issue a challenge for 1901, | and shall complete the arrangements for {it in a day or two. The matter must be | discussed fully with the committee of the New York Yacht Club.’ | Sir Thomas commented on the proposed | | trip of the Columbia abroad, saving: “If | | she were my boat I should take her across at once and you can take my word for it she would sweep everything before her. I| sincerely hope ghe will cross the Atlantic it for no othe than to show them | {o there ankee yacht is like. Believe me, it will teach them something, | “I want to say again that I have been | treated with the utmost courtesy by every | one that I have met. Never for a moment | have the yachtsmen here made me feel | otherwise than perfectly at home. I have failed to win your cup, but I proved | | what I said before sailing for it, that any | vachtsman who came for the cup would | have fair opportunity to win it. “I am deeply touched at the spirit| shown by you Americans in arranging for | that Joving cup for me. I shall prize It| aboveé all things. It shows that my estl- mate of American character is not wrong..| I am at Liberty to say now that the wild guesses as to what the Shamrock cost | were all of them far out. The cost of tae | boat alone, as she is now, without con- | sidering the expense of the crew or any- thing else, is about $500,000. ik R psdonk TWELVE INJURED IN A CHICAGO FIRE Fourteen Buildings, Including the Famous Old Grand Hotel, Completely Destroyed. CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—A business block in South Chicago was burned to-day, entail- | ing a loss of $120,000 and painfully injur- ing twelve persons. Fourteen buildings | were burned. An old landmark was destroved in the burning of the Grand Central Hotel. It was a frame building and was consumed rapidly.

D., says: Evidences of the richness of the Philip- pine Islands in precious metals have been shown in the Black Hills towns since the return of the volunteer companies which served a year in the islands. Many of the Black Hills boys have mad practical experience in mining for gold and silver, and they have been watchful of the Philippines for indications of ore deposits. Captain Paul McClelland, Com- pany 1, has brought back a piece of de- composed silver ore, about half, pure which is said to have been taken from a X to ledge about 100 feet in width situated ten miles from Manil: The soldiers have also brought pie of rich gold quartz from Luzon, the ore closely resembling the rich free milling veins of the Black Hills. Chunks of gold ore exhibited by the soldlers bristle with gold threads, flakes and nuggets and most experienced mining men take it for Black Hills ore. Many of the Black Hills men have re- mained in the Philippines for the purpose of being on the ground for the gold fields as soon as order is restored in the islands. Several outfits have been or- ganized which are already in the gold flelds around Manila. Some of the re- turning soldlers have small bottles of placer gold which they panned out of the creeks and larger streams of water with common pans. There seems to be larg quantities of black sand, which is full of bright yellow gold, easily panned and be- lleved by the Black Hilis men to be in great quantities. gl MURDERER CAPTURED. Gee Seok Found Hiding on a Vege- table Ranch.

He was asleep in a pototo hole in a Chinese veg- etable garden. When aroused Seok jumped up and told the officer that he was the man. “I sabe, I killed Gee Duck e owe me money and not pay it. I kill him. Seok had no weapon and came along with the officers without any trouble. At the inquest this afternoon Gee Duck’s wife testified that her husband and Seok were partners in a fruit con- tract. Seok feared that they would I on the deal and refused to put up his share of the money. Duck carried through the contract and made money. Seok then wanted a share. Duck refused to divide and the killing followed. It is be- lieved, however, that Seok s love for Mrs Duck had something to do with the trag- edy. Duck was a prominent Chinaman.
