VANCOTUVER, Oct. 26.—Before a crowd of nearly 2000 persons and with their gospel impedimenta covered v the mark- ings of stale eggs and marks of other violent contacts, the ministerial corps of the Zionites were last night driven by force into their tabernacle. A sergeant and six policemen were out to attempt to guard Rev. Mr. Simmons. The trouble arose over the Dowie minister announcing that he would speak against secret socie- ties and their systems. Several days ago he spoke on the same subject and was hooted down, and this time the crowd turned out In great numbers, armed with a quantity of eggs and decomposed vege- | tables. Stmmons preached from a gospel wagon, around which the cordon of police &tood uard. He denounced the Knights of ythias, the Odd Fellows and other or. ders. The crowd hooted itself hoarse and it was with difficulty that the police could prevent Simmons being carried off bodily. Soon a shower of eggs started and the wagons and horses and Simmons himself were plastered with them. Several women in the wagon sang hymns, but their voices were frequently drowned the uproar.

RN Special Dispatch to The Call. | VANCOUVER, Oct. 25.—At least five or | six llves were lost and $40,000 worth of | property was destroyed in a storm that | | swept the northern coast 150 miles from | | Vancouver during Wednesday night and | Thursday morning. Yesterday afternoon | two boats that had contained two or three { fishermen each were found drifting off | Gower Point, seventy miles from this city. The boats were large new sailers and the canvas on both was set, but when found was sagging deep in the water. When the boats were righted provisions were found stowed away in both, so there Is no ques- tion that their recent occupants were drowned when thrown out during the gale. The range of the storm was about 300 miles along the coast, so far as can be learned, and it was the roughest on rec- ord in that section. It began on Wednes- day afterncon, when three Klondike steamers, bound from Skaguay for Van- couver and Se<itle, were compelled to turn back for sheiter after trying in vain to get across Queen Charlotte Sound. The steamer Alpha was the fourth, and she got through, although she suffered con- siderable to Vancouver, arriving here on Thursday afternoon. The steamer Comox came in during the night, having watched the Vancouver steamer Comet pick up the fishing boats before mentioned. The Comet is a powerful tug, which had | over a million feet of lumber in a raft for the Hastings ill. She lost the raft and | & scow off Gower Rocks, near where the | fishermen’s boats were found. Two hours later the steamer Brunette came along and her towing ropes were snapped under | the strain. She had two scows, which broke to pieces on the rocks, and she also lost her boom of logs. Captain Moody of the Comox says that the trip he made was the roughest he ever experienced on this coast, and his steamer has been mak- | ing twice-a-week trips to Port Neville for | nine years. | oA Dumber of small boats are missing and several small steamers are reporte .| to be ashore. | NO MORE POTLATOHES, | SAY ALASKA CHIEFS | Result of Governor Brady's Powwow With Tribe Leaders at Klukwan. VICTORIA, Oct. 26.—When the United States steamer Perry, which arrived to- | day, was leaving Sitka her officers saw | the Sitka Indians departing in nine or ten | big war canoes for the potlatch at Kluk- wan. \ The canoes were richly decorated with the Stars and Stripes. Captain Kilgour was present at a meet- ing eld at Haines, when Governor Brady addreesed Chief Kodowatt and Chisf George Shortridge on the folly of nolding otlatches. He told them that tne pot- Fatch was now a custom of the past and meant nothing but superstitious dJdisplay, and urged them not to give the potlatch, | which was a useless extravagance, buf | instead to devote the money to the benefit of the tribe. The chiefs were gready im- pressed _and sald that had it not been | for the fact that the invitations had been given and they could not break thair word to the visiting tribes they would | call the potlatch off. They promised that | 1t_would be the last they would hold. The object of the potlatch—the calling | off of the old feud with the Wrangeis—is | to be lost, for owing to the fact that Kodowatt was robbed of $10 when ne | went to give the Wrangels their invita- | tion he refrained from asking the Wran- gels to attend. SRR S BISBEE TO THE FORE WITH DUNHAM SUSPECT Workingman Said to Have Been Recognized as the Campbell Murderer. PHOENTX, Ariz., Oct. 26.—It is believed that James C. Dunham, who murdered the McGlincy family near San Jose, Cal., several years ago and escaped, was in Bisbee recently. He is sald to have ap- plidd for work on the new- hotel in pro- cess of erection there. The stranger was grnmed employment and had worked a alf day when he was recognized by a fellow-workingman, who had. known him in California. The latter notified the of- ficers of the law, but in the meantime the supposed Dunham decamped and has not since been seen. rae L LA For a Cold in the Head. | Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets. | | amage in making the run down | R HOUNTAIY GOPPER CONPANT WIL Nor " TIELD 10 STRIEERS Must Work or Ask for Their Time. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Oct. 26.—The report that the Mountain Copper Company had closed its boarding-house at Iron Mountain, the point where the company 1s involved In a strike with its miners, s untrue. Ru- mors are in circulation that the miners would create trouble if the company at- tempted such a move. The company store and canteen are both closed, but lhe boarding-house is open. The copper company this morning posted a notice at the mine announcing that all strikers who chose to could re- port at noon for work and that those who failed could ask for their time. Twelve or fifteen applied for the pay tha: was coming to them, but the rest neituer re- ported for work nor demanded their time. Most of the strikers are still at the mine. This afternoon the copper company tel ephoned to the Sheriff’s office for an offi- cer to be sent to Iron Mountain. Deputy Hunter was dispatched to the scene. This move is not taken to indicate that serious trouble {s apprehended, but that it is merely a measure of precaution. The | strikers held a meeting at Fielding Post- office, adjacent to the mine, yesterday afternoon, at which the leaders addressed | the strikers and appealed to them to re- | main firm. A resolution to that effeci was passed by the miners. Great precaution is being taken by the leaders to prevent the strikers ieaving the camp. Should the company close its boarding-house there is no reason to fear trouble at the mine in consequence. Many of the men are married and have their families at the mine. They have alwa, been permitted to take boarders if thiy chose and a number of the strikers are thus provided for. Not a few of the men | board themselves and while the company | runs its own store, canteen and boarding- house it has always pursued a liberal poi- icy with respect to employes patronizing these institutions. The Mountain Copper Company shows no disposition to treat with the strikers on other than its own terms. The strikers appear e%\éally firm.

BAN DIEGO, Oct. 26—The First Na- tlonal Bank of this city, as a member of the American Bankers' Association, has received a circular letter from the Pink- erton Detective Agency imparting the “comforting”’ Information that some bank president in Southern California had been marked as a victim of a desperate rob- ber, who would not stop at murder. e letter says in part: In the interest of the American Bankers' Assoclation we write to warn you regarding certain information which We recently became Dossessed of. A _convict was recently dis- charged from a State penitentiary where he had been incarcerated for burglary. A short time prior to his discharge from the peniten- tiary he told another convict, who was also s00n to be liberated, what his plans were for the future. He described a town where a bank resident llved some distance from the bank uilding and said that he and his pal intend calling_on resident of the bank at a la hour of the night and take him by force from his home and compel him to go with them to the bank and open the safe. Then they would take all the money they could find and elthec shut the bank president up In the vault or kill and this would give them ample time to d _elude all pursuit. convict further stated that the town was in Southern California, but did not mentfon the name of it. —— 26.—The fury in the case ot the negro policeman, chas with felonious assault upon Grace Cunningham, dis this morning, standing seven for acquittal to five for conviction. e e e o .

The resolution denouncing the civil and mili- tary authorities in the Philippines for per- mitting the establishment of saloons in Manila was strengthened in its terms of condemnation and changed so as to read that the action of the authorities was de- | basing the soldiers and sailors of United States, as well as the native trons of such places.
