SKULL CRUSHED ON | A GRANITE CURBING Street Fight in San Diego Ends in | the Death of One of the Contestants. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Feb. %.—Harry Lynell was arrested this noon at his home, on the corner of Columbia and Date streets, and a charge of murder will be placed agalnst him in Justice Murdock’s court to-morrow. The cause of the arrest was the death of Luzerne L. Roberts this morning at his _home at the corner of Eighteenth and H_streets, Lynell is an auctioneer, whose place of business has been on Sixth street, not far from G street. It is not likely that he will be enabled to return to that business for | some time. He has been given to drink and had been drinking yesterday after- »on just before being ~ approached by s, who came to inquire as to a biil it is clatmed that Lynell owed. A out the bill followed, and blows Bystanders separated the com- which te bata but they got together again, and were agafn separated. A third time the two came together, and then Roberts went down from a blow on the side of the cheek. His head went back and as he fell the back of his head struck on the side of the granite curbing. Lynell was oulled away from the fallen man_ and oberts was able to get up and recah his home. He did not believe that he was seri hurt, though he complained of his head hurting him. He went Immedi- ately to bed, but complained of his head, which got no better, and about midnight Dr. Hunt was called. Soon afterward Roberts became unconscious, and re- mained so. Deach resulted at a little be- | fore 5 o'clock this morning. The iliness and death had all the appear- | ances of a case of apoplexy, and it is probable that that would h: been the statement on the certificate, for Roberts bad told nothing of his meeting with Ly- | nell nor of the difficulty which resulted. | As soon, however, as the news of the death was reported on the street, some of | those who. had known of the altercation an to wonder if there was any cos nection between the two. The wonder- ment resuited in an investigation and an | autopsy, which showed that the skull had | been crushed badly near the base of the | brain, where the man’s head came in con- tact with the curbing. ks RSy BIG MEDICINE DANCE OF YAKIMA INDIANS Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 25.—The Yakima Indians held a big medicine dance last week, which lasted seven days. Three dbzen redskins started cut to dance for | @ week. The third day they began drop- ping out and continued doing so until only | one remained at the beginning of tha reventh day. He was a wiry ) kima, neariy 30 years old, and chief triba three ye: o During this dance. as in times past, the | dancers hacked and cut their flesh with | knives and prongs until blood flowed freely from numerous wounds. Heavy lcather strings were drawn under the stripes cut in the flesh. - The dancers | would then pull the strings until the flesh pulled apart. None are allowed to eat while dancing, turning the ceremony into an ordeal of physical suffering of the most frightful character. ~Blood flowed | from scores of wounds until the floor of the dancing lot was turned erimson, The object of the Indians is to suffer un- til the evil spirits leave their body, mak- ing them pure and meek. To them this dance is deeply religious, and every part of the rite is carried out with great ex- | actness. A small civilized portion of the | tribe refused to have any part in the event. On the other hand, among the dancers were three young sub-chiefs who were educated in Indian schools in the | East and Oregon, and who on returning ve discarded civilization for blankets nd tribal customs. | y s made 1" medicine man for a term of | il | Mules for the British.

Sesngr g PARIS, Feb. 25.—As the result of a fire that broke out this mo; a suburb of Pari collection of alco- hol and oil stores, a series of explosions occurred, spreading the flames until a block of six immense warehouse was in- volved in a huge conflagration. A great concourse of spectators had as- sembled a had appreoached too when suddenl the explosion occurres large numt of persons, including firemen, were more or less injured. last explosion occurred at 6 o'clock this 1 afternoon, when it was thought much danger had been averted. Thirty persons were injured by flying debris. The official computation shows that 150 were hurt and quite a number seriously. The fire broke out at 8 o'clock, from some cause as yet unknown, and had ob- tained a firm hold before it w ‘ered. It progressed withgut exciting in- cldents during the mjorning, and at 1 o'clock had been got under control. At 4 o'clock, however, the falling walls per- mitted the flames to reach a number of alcohol vats, and then the explosions be- gan to take place. The block of- waréhouses was almost surrounded by unoccupied ground, over which the burning alcohol spread when | the buildings collapsed, resembling a sea of flames &nd causing _consternation throughout the district. People in the dwellings near by began hastily remov- ing their furniture. The suffocating heat and fumes seriously hampered the work of the fire brigade. A number of engines Were sent from Paris to assist. The fire- men worked fearlessly: and more than once were precipitated to the ground by falling roofs and walls. A detachment of soldiers aided the fire- | men in emptying the adjacent houses of furniture, and the ambulances were busy ryving victims to the neighboring hospitals. Fortunately the flames did not reach the immense reservoirs of pertroleum. The loss is estimated at 2,000,000 francs. CHURCH ATTENDANCE HAS LARGELY FALLEN OFF o CHICAGO, Feb. President Charles W.

This has been set for 3 p. m. on Tuesday, although,:he | differences which have arisen on the wuill | may compel a rearrangement of the pro- gramme. The general debate on the measure will close on Monday, and on Tuesday, up to the hour of voting, the de- bate will proceed under the flve-mindta rule. Extraordinary interest attaches to the outcome of this struggle, owins to thc | differenc>s which have arisen on the Re- | publican side of the chamber. It had been arranged that the debate should proceed Monday night, but this must give way to the Republican conference in the hall of the House at 8 p. m., when a final effort will be made to reconcile differences and agree upon a compromise bill. The Alabama contested election. case of Aldrich against Robbins will be consid- ered as soon as the Porto Rican bill Is out | of the way. The army appropriation bill| will receive consideration the latter part of the week.

Senator Aldrich has given notice that | he will make a speech in the Senate in ex- planation of the currency bill agreement n Wednesday, and that he will call it up the next day (Thursday) and then ask final action wpon it. The request of course will lead to a spirited contest. The mat- | ter may be before the Senate for sereral; a here will be several speeches during | the week on the Quay resolution, and there is a_probability of reaching a_vote on it the latter part of the week. Sena- tor Chandler will probably speak for Quay Monday and Senator Turley in bfiposmou. Later in the week Senators oar and Penrose will talk for Quay and Senator Burrows in opposition. After these, only short speeches will be heard. Senator Penrose counts upon a vote late in the | week and says he expects a larger vote | than was cast In Quay's favor in taking | the resolution vp. When the Hawaiian bill, which remains the unfinished business, is' voted upon, t Porto Rican bill will be taken up. Sen tor Depew on Tuesday will speak on the | })roblems connected with the Philippine slands. i S e B | REPUBLICANS FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT Representatives Will Continue Their Efforts, However, to Unite on the Porto Rican Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—The efforts to unite the Republicans of the House on a | Porto Rican bill have failed, and at mid- night, after prolonged conferences, it was stated that matters were substantially where they were yesterday. Other efforts | at harmony may be adopted to-morrow. A long conference was held to-night at the residence of Representative MeCall | of Massachusetts between the committee appointed at the Republican conference | !last night, representing the Republicans | in favor of the pending Porto Rican tariff bill, and a committee agreed upon to-day | by those Republicans who are opposed to | | the measure. It was stated after the| conference, by members opposed to the | bill, that substantially no progress has been made and that there was no proba- bility of another gathering before the conference of Republicans called for to- morrow night. From their statements 1t was evident that they intended to main- tain the position they have held all along | —that under the constitution the Govern- ment has no right to tax the products of ‘spx"t"’my under the control of the United | States.

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 25.—Newspapers and private letters dated December 9, re- ceived here from Cape Nome, via Daw- son, vesterday, say that considerable | prospecting was to be carried on this win- ter. Many miners have an idea that at and below low water mark the richest sands will be found. Therefore, as soon as the ice is solidly frozen to the bottom | of the shore, they were to begin pros- pecting and solve a much vexed question as to the origin of the gold in the beach sands. Prospécting in the tundra war- rants the bellef that it is impregnated with_gold much in the same manner as the beach. | Tundra prospecting, the advices say, % \, had_not been carried on extensively ow- | ing to the difficulty encountered in sink- | ‘ ing to bedrock on account of water. The ground is found frozen to an unknown depth, the same as in the Klondike, and if it should prove rich, an area of coun- try will be developed that will be greater than a score of Klondikes rolled into one.
