FAMOUS FALCON ISLAND AGAIN HEAVES INTO SIGHT Special Dispatch to the Call, VANCOUVER, B. C., July 12—H. M. S. Porpoise has been on another adventurous tour through the islands of the South Pacific. She returned to Sydney, Australia, a few days before the steamer Miowera sailed from that * port, reporting that the famous disappearing island of the Tonga group had again moved up Into the sphere of human vision. It was known as Falcon Island in the eighties, when the stars and stripes were planted upon it. The island is high in the center, which, according to the officers of the Porpoise, proved that it was the erupted top of a submarine volcano. In 1882 the isiand was in violent eruption, being overhung by a dense cloud of smoke. Afterward the island increased rapidly In size and was covered with vegeta-+ tion. A few years ago it totally disappeared off the face of the waters and untfl two months ago it had iiterally dropped out of existence. The island is a sort of mysterious place, according to the natives, but they are nevertheless moving back on it and erecting huts around the base of the central mound. ’ : : : on good authority that the | the new railroad | freight business will pass through these | announced when the contracts | oc- | The | | wooden bulldings are to be made sanitary | in the quartermasters’ department, little | DEMIAND DAY OF EICHT HOURS INALL LINES Building Trades Unions Have Served Notices on Employers.

Notices have been sent out to em- | ployers In the branches mentioned that | after August 13 the working day must be but efght hours. | The council stands behind the unions directly interested, and a refusal on the part of any of the employers might lead to a strike that would stop all work on bulldings and in the factories that supply ding trade.

FORCED HIS WIFE TO [ SUPPORT THE FAMILY Peter Harkins, a Billposter, Arrested for Threatening to Kill His Young Spouse. Peter Harkins, a billposter, was arrested | yesterday and booked at the City Prison | on a charge of threats to kill. The com- | plaining witness is Harkins' young wife | Della. She was married when 16 years of age and is now only 24 and has two chil- | dren—a girl five years of age and a boy of two years. About eleven months ago Harkins broke his arm, and the young wife was com- lled to work to support the family. | Y\e'hen Harkins' arm was all right again | some months ago he refused to go to | work, and his wife finalls' became tired of keeping him in food and clothes. There was a row and she left him, and taking the children went to live at 32 Fifth street. Since then Harkins, according to his wife, has been persecuting her. and last Friday, she says, he seized her by the throat and threatened to kill her and the children. ~He repeated his threats Wednesday night, and vesterday morning Mrs. Harkins was forced to ask a police- man to escort her to the City Hall, as she was mortally afraid of meeting her hus- band. She swore to the warrant for his arrest before Judge Conlan. and the po- liceman to whom the warrant was given to serve found Harkins watching the house where his wife lives. —e————— Motorman Not to Blame.

PN e Rev. William P. Chalfant, Late of | Shantung Province, Talks of the Cause of the Boxer Horrors. kg lly “Had the European embassles at Peking taken the trouble to investigate or even to consider seriously the warnings about | the coming storm sent them by the mis- | sionaries in the northern provinces the been almost wholly averted,” declared Rev. Willlam P. Chalfant, a Presbytenan | minister who returned from China on the steamer Rio de Janeiro, when seen last| night. | The reverend gentleman has resided in the North China province of Shantung for fifteen years, and although he left the Orlent before the actual outbreak of hos- tilitles on account of Mrs. Chalfant's health, yet he is thoroughly familiar with | copditions in his recent home. “The cause of the present situation,” | continued Rev. Mr. Chaifant, “had its in- cipiency three years ago. Two German Catholic missionaries were murdered by | the common people. In return the Ger- man Government asked for and obtained the port of Tsung-Tau. A railroad was | constructed from the coast into the im-| terfor. The Chinese, who are densely | ignorant, believed that this was built to aid the ‘foreign devils’ in obtaining chil- | dren, whose hearts they declared were cut out and used to transform iron into | money. They cannot understand where | we get our siiver from, and that is the ex- on the priests give them.” ust after this agitauon that Rev. Chalfant and two of his colleagues ‘I'ne minister, accompanied by Rev. | Charles A. Kille and Rev. W. S. Faris, went up into the mountains of lcanfu to hold services in a church established | the While celebrating the ritual the edifice was surrounded by a mob of howi- ing barbarians armed with knives, pitch- forks and old-fashioned guns. For a time things looked black for the besieged, but a native messenger managed to get through and bring a detachment of sol- 'y from a near-by town, which put the mob to flight. The Chinese soldier, according to Mr. Chalfant, is well drilled and armed, and | though not particularly brave is possessed | of a fanatic fierceness which makes an | excellent substitute for courage. This fact, the missionary thinks, will be the | cause of a terrible death roll among the allied forces. Mr. Chalfant says that he | fears the worst fate has befallen the be- | siezed in Peking. “In_China_a native will risk his life | cheerfully for money,” he said, “and | surely If those in Peking were safe they | i Mr. underwent a thrilling experience. would have got word through to their friends. This continyed silence is the worst sign possible.” ! Warrant for Joe McAuliffe. ! Patrick Walsh, head keeper in the | Sheriff's office, had a warrant issued for | the arrest of Joe McAuliffe, an ex-prize- | fighter, on a charge of battery vester- day. In_ his comblaint sworn to before Judge Fritz, Walsh declares that on Wednesday night McAuliffe approached him at Sixth and Market streets and asked for the loan of a dollar. Walsh told the pugilist that he did not have the ut offered to buy a drink. Mc- did not want to lend it and emphasized his opinion by knocking Walsh down with a lefi swing.

PSSR Talk of Having the Entire National Guard of California in the Pro- cession on September Tenth. o i If the general committee of the Native Sons having charge of the celebration of the admission of California Into the Union will allow the amount required for transportation the men who compose the veral organizations of the National Guard of California will come from ail parts of the State to take part in the pa- rade. This will Include the First, Second and Third brigades. The cost of trans- | portation will be about $4800. C. J. Rosenthal, the dean of the consular corps in this city, received Grand Marshal Costello and Chief Aid Stanyan yesterday and informed them that he would call a meeting of the foreign Consuls next week, when some action will be taken about par- ticipating in the parade. Jose Costa, Consul for Uruguay, has already notified the grand marshal that he will be in line. Lewis Mayer of Agua Caliente, Sonoma County, called at the grand marshal's of- fice to offer his services to help make the parade a success. Mr. Mayer, who Is 78 ears of age and father of Past President ewis B. Mayer of El Dorado Parlor, N. S. G. W., came to San Francisco in 14§ on the Lexington, the first vessel from the East_that rounded the Horn. He was a member of Company F, Third United States Artillery, of which Wiillam Te- cumseh Sherman was then third lieuten- ant. Mr. Mayer was with Commodore | Sloat at the flag raising at Monterey and | was one of the firing party that fired the national salute. He will be assigned a post of honor in the line. The invitation committes decided yes- terday to send invitations to the Mayors of the principal cities; also to the Super- visors of each of the counties of the State. The Columbia Park i Club, number- ing about 126, ranging from 8§ to 16 years and commanded R. Alberger, will [ parade. The club will be preceded by its own bugle and drum corps. Piedmont Parlor will turn out in_uni- form with a band and will have a finely decorated frame on which to display its banner. The parlor expects to have one hundred men in line. Frank Barnel has been chosen as aid to the grand marshal. Alameda Parlor will also have a hun- dred men in line in yachting costume with a band of twenty pieces. It will pa~ rade with a new $500 banne: An effort will be made to have the sev- enty members of Oakland Lodge. Benevo- lent and Protective Order of Elks, who were awarded the rize for having made the best showing in the Fourth of July parade. join in the celebration. Hit Him With a Lamp. During a disagreement between E. A. Collins and his wife in their home at 153 Minna street a lamp was hurled by the woman and the head of the household was later treated at the Harbor Recelving Hospital for several severe lacerations o Luckily the lamp was not lighted, or a tragedy might have been the result. According to the woman's story, words had failed to properly express her side of a heated argument and she thought the heavy missile might foreibly fmpress upon her husband what she wish- ed to imply. No arrests were made. - ————— Divorce Suits Filed. Sufts for divorce have been filled by Roddy Tercovich against Luke Tercovich for cruelty; Cordelia Loulse Savage tflm' Michael J.
