INDIGNANT MINISTERS SCORE A POLICE CHIEF dith of Seattle Denounced From Many Pulpits Because of an Arrest He Made. SEATTLE, March 24.—Chief of Police Meredith was denounced as a brute from the pilpit in Seattle to-day. Many of the ministers made his acts the subject of denunciatory discourses. The city is greatly excited and the outcome is hard to figure out. It all arose over what is termed the outragepus action of the Chief in arrest- ing H. R. Cayton, colored editor of the Seattie Republican, a weekly paper, on a charge of criminal libel. The Chief himself is tne prosecuting witness. He took offense at what Cayton sald in his last issue about the Chief's declas in- tention to make war on alieged guack doctors. Cayton commented on the Chief's proposed programme, and injected a few sentences about the local condition of politics. ' Instead of arresting Cayton in the day- time the Chief waited until late at night, then he got a Justice of the Peace out of a theater and swore out a warrant, Cayton was dufged from his home and thrown into jail. Mrs. Cayton was al- most distractéd because she had not the | slightest idea what the strange proceed- ings meant. She hurried to her attorneys, who went to police headquarters and asked to see Cayton. They were met with a cold re- fusal.. Then they asked for information | of the charge and where the warrant was issued. The volice had nothing to say. All the Justices of the Peace were routed out of bed, and finally the one who gave the warrant was found. He said he would :dccepthfiw bail. Then the police demand- c ash. At 3 o'clock in the morning James D. | Hoge, president of the First National Bank, offered his check to the police for $500. The check was refused. Hoge went | around the city and finally gathered up the cash and got Cayton out at 3:30 o'clock. When the actions of the police became generally known the row started, and there was no stopping it. The min- isters took it up, and to-night the town is wild with excitcment over what is termed an outrage and an insult to the people of the city as well as to Mr. Cayton. bk b Cadogan Will Retain Office.

This statement is made by L. Robinson, a merchant of Vancouver, who arrived from the Klonkide capital yesterday. He came over the ice, or what |is left of it. Mr. Robinson spent a full | month in Dawson and along the creeks, and, being an observing man, has a good idea of the condition of that country. | He said: | "I found Dawson very dull—everybody complaining on account of the stoppage of winter work—but on the creeks 1 saw some very large dumps, and I predict that | the clean-up will be larger even than last | vear.

HAVANA, March 24.—The action of the Republican party in Santiago in indorsing the Platt amendment and instructing Senors Gomez and Ferrer of the Santiago delegation to the constitutional conven- tion to vote for the amendment, together with the letters of General Sanguilly and the Mayor of Cienfuegos advising accept- ance, were incidents of the week just i passed that have tended to clear up the political atmosphere, until now there are few who do not expect the convention to approve the amendment. The visit of American Senators and Con- gressmen has had an excellent effect. The Radicals, however, insist that they can- not recede. from their former position without loss of dignity, and they still hope that some concession, no matter how in- significant, may provide a sufficient ex- cuse. 3 SURVIVES HIS WIFE'S DEATH BUT FEW HOURS| Newspaper Man Ill With Pneumonia | and Distracted by Loved One’s Demise Dies Suddenly.

VICE HARBORING IN TENEMENTS Children of New York's [ Workers in Contact With Depravity. e SOV NEW YORK, March 2.—The committee of fifteen to-day sent a letter to Governor { Odell warmly endorsing the recommenda- | tions of the Tenement House Committee in regard to driving out vice from the tenement houses. The committee has de- voted considerable time to this question, which was one of the things which called it into the field, and it is expected the full committee will go to Albany on Tues- day, when a hearing on the report of the Tenement Committee will be heard be- fore the city’s committee of the Legis- lature. The letter reads in part as fol- lo “The greatest of existing evils is the intrusion and wide extension of prostitu- tion in the tenement houses, the houses in which the great mass of wage earners are compelled to llve. There will proo- ably for a long time to come continue to I"be differences of opinion as to the degree in which it is possible to check social vice in our great citles, but there can be protecting children of tender years from close connection with depravity. An in- timate acquaintance with adult vice should at least not be forced upon young | children by permitting such vice to pene- trate into the very houses in which the live. ‘The crv of parents when they as | merely for the opportunity of bflng(nf up thefr children in an atmosphere free from the pollution of the most degrading forms of moral evils, should surely be heeded.” The letter says that the law on the statute books has not met the situation | and what is needed is a law that will | Place the responsibility for the existence of vice in th> tenements on the shoulders of the landlords. This, the committee says. the legislation proposed by the Tenement House Committee will do. NO POLICE LEGISLATION. | New York Politicians Follow Gov- i ernor Odsll’s Advice.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, 1406 G STREET. WASHINGTON, March 24— Chile’s purpose to retain possession of the provinces of Tacna and Arica, notwith- | | standing the protests of Peru and Boli- | | via, is formally acknowledged in an of- | ficial statement of the Chilean case com- | municated to the United States and other | powers. Announcement of this purpose is | coupled with charges of bad faith made | | by Chile against Peru and Bolivia. These charges are counter to simflar allegations made by the two last named dbuntries | against Chile. Chile seeks to prevent any | intervention on the part of the United | States in the South ~American dispute, while Peru and Bolivia are utilizing every | channel to bring pressure to bear upon | | the administration to induce it to take | action. The President has definitely decided, however, that Le will not take action un- | | less all three rowers request it, In view | of the latest declaration made by Chile | it is apparent that she will suffer no out- side check in her purpose to acquire definitive sovereignty over provinces she has controlled since the war of twenty rs ago. ithout great dangér to our national 2 Chiléan brief states, “‘we cannot the possession of Tacna and Ari- ca.

It is worthy of note, she says, that in the whole course of the debate upon the protocol of plebis- cite the attitude of Peruvian diplomacy made greater demands than when a con- flict lgnelu'ed probable, and offered re- linquishment, or at least modification of them, when this expectation vanished. With respect to Bolivia's claim to the provinees Chile sava that nothing. obliges her to follow an inyariable line of conduct, The first thing is to get possession of them, and afterward to proceed to such exercise of sovereignty as may conform with our interests. e SAN JOSE TAXPAYERS FIGHT THE BOND ISSUE Good Government L Lu;nu to Devise Means to Diminish the Expen- ditures in Salaries.

RIO JANEIRO, March 24.—Great excite- prevails here over the arrest of Admiral Custodio Jose Mello and others, on ac- count of the revelations of a monarchist plot, through the sulcide of Baron de Bur- | gdl, Extraordinary precautions are being taken by the Government to prevent an cutbreak. 2 The apprehension ecenters 'about navy. War vessels are belng closely guarded, as it is belleved that the officers are not quite trustworthy. The details of the plot which Baron de Burgal revealed @0 the authoritles have been disclosed. It was the purpose of those cancerned, it s declared, to give the signal for an outbreak by the assas- sination of President Campos Salles. Dur- ing tne excitement that followed the mon- archist adherents in the army and navy were to take possesison of the city and to hold the Government offices. Affairs of state were to be intrusted to a triumvir- ate composed of Admiral .uello, Marshal Canturia and Counselor Lafayette Pereira.

DAVID BISPHAM SINGS TO SUNDAY AUDIENCE New York u-.m;gers Experimenting to D:termine if Sabbath Concerts ‘Will Be Patronized. < NEW YORK, March 24—Twelve hun- dred persons listened to David Bispham the | at a popular concert given at Carnegie Music Hall this afternoon. The recital | was of the nature of an experiment, the | management being desirous of finding out whether a New York audience could be eftracted on Sunday dfternoon by rangement of popular prices. ‘hose in charge of the concert profess to be more than satisfled with the result. Lavid Bispham gave a number of bary- tone selections, the recital lasting one and three-quarters hours. The selections were chiefly from Schubert, Schumann and American composers like McDowell and Walter Damrosch. Bispham was in good voice and at times received Rearty and enthusiastic ap- plause. Critics appear to agree that while some other singers may surpass Bispham | in range of voice, technique and experi- ence, few there are who possess greater powers of artistic expression. All in all, the possibilities of Sunday afternoon con- certs for musical education appear to have been amply demonstrated by Blsp-I ham’s recital.

The police, the speak- ers declared, make little effort to protect members of their racé from the attacks of hoodlums. In several instances, it was said, the police had looked on when such attacks were being made and had failed te interfere. After a half dozen speakers had spoken in protest, the chle:g“l’roueuu lufue was organized to de d that the police protect the Jews.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call PHOENIX, Ariz., March 24.—A dispatch to the Republican from a mining expert at Wickenberg; sixty-five miles northwest of here, announces a gold strike five miles | north of the town, four miles from the railroad and one mile from water. T vein at the surface is from twenty thirty feet wide. On this is sunk a shaft one hundred feet deep, and from the bot- tom of the shaft a crosscut runs for sixty feet, all in ore. ‘The walls have not been reached by the crosscut. From every car- load of rock brought to the surface free flake gold can be picked up by hand, and the crosscut glistens with the sparkiing precious metal. Free gold can be picked up anywhere on the dump, at the bottom of the shaft or along the crosscut. It.now promises to prove the ricnest mine in the territory, | perhaps in the world, and there is great excitement over the strike. The owners of tire’ property have been made offers al- ready. hut refuse to consider any propo- sition. - TOWN BUILT ON GOLD. | Kalama, in Washington, Developing | Into a Booming Mining Village. TACOMA. March 24.—There s reason to believe that Kalama, the county seat of Cowlitz County, is about. to enter upon a period of unexpected prosperity by reason of the diseovery there of gold and copper | in paying quantities. In the center of the | town the qwners of the Darmell mine have sunk a shaft to the depth of 165 fe. land run crosscuts and drifts an agsr. | gate length of 200 feet, and by a series | testg established that they haye a vein aver eighty feet in width carrying aver- | age values of between 325 and. 30 per ton. | This_property has been recently stocke | for $750,000 and has. cash in the treas sufficient for operating expenses and the | purchase of necessary machinery for re | duecing the ore. Some of it will be shipped to the smelter here. Last month three Kalama men started | to sink a_shaft on a lot mear the court- | house. At a depth of forty-five feet a rex- ular vein has been encountered, and ma chinery will be installed. This success has callsed thorough prospeeting for othe outeropings. Gaod indications have been found on the farms of William Carsen, John Wicks and Peter Arnold, all near the town. Shafts and tunnels are to be started at once, and Kalama will become |a full-fledged mining town.

It is likely to become one of the great politica questions of the day. Leading Republican members of 1 | gress say that at its next session Con gress cannot refuse to ignore this whole- sale denial of the right of suffrage to men who are entitled to it under the Federal constitution, and that a bill will | be pressed for passage enforcing the four- teenth amvendment to the comstitution, which provides® for reducing the repre- sentation of States curtailing suffrage. 1t |is now recognized that a mistake was made at the last session in not meeting the issue when the reapportionment act | was under consideration. One of the most earnest advocates of reprisal against States which have passed disfranchisement _acts is Representative | Charles Dick of Ohio, who is very close to President McKinley and Senator Hanna. In discussing the matter to- night Mr. Dick said: |~ “Repubiicans cannot fail to take cog- nizance of the political thefts which have taken place Iin North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and, re- cently, in Maryland. Unless drastic ac- tion IS taken as soon as possible we may expect West Virgina, Virginia, Kentucky and almost every other Southern or bor- der State where Democrats have control | to adopt the disfranchisement method of | perpetuating their party in power.
