Sk ) Conferees Will Next Meet in New York to Discuss Situation. PITTSBURG, Aug: 2.—Judging by indi- cations that are practically facts, peace or war in the steel troubles will be an- nounced from New York City to-morrow. | When the Amalgamated Association ex- ecutive committee adjourned this evening President Shaffer announced that another meeting will be held to-morrow. There will probably be a meeting here to-mor- row of a portion of the board, but the | national officers will be in New York. They left for that city to-night at 10 | o’clock. The circumstances leading up to this unexpected trip, while not officially made known, are evident enough to sub- | stantiate the story which follows: During the day many telegrams were ireceived at the association conference rooms, the last coming just before ad- | journment, and all were answered The last answer was in all ity the announcement of the New York people that the trip would be made by the officials to-night, -carrying out an arrangement entered into at Veryl Pres- ton’s rooms in the Hotel Henry a short time before. At about 5 p. m. Messrs. Shaffer, Williams and Chappelle went to Preston’s rooms anq were closeted with him for about thirty minutes. The un- | derstandlnils that at this meeting Pres- ton made known the combinatipn’s only concession in the matter of reopening the conference where it left off three weeks | &go. This concession was in the shape of & demand that if a new conference is granted it must be specifically stated be- forehand what is expected to be accom- plished, what ground is to be covered and This brings the matter up to the Amal- gamated Assocfation, and the mission of its high officials to New York is doubtless | to convince the steel people there that & new conference is essential to peace and | ia)‘n amicable settlement cf the strike trou- es. The conference to-day was a repetition of yesterday, the strictest king of g:crlec)' eing maintained as to the happenings in- | side the room. A telegram from Wellsville, Ohio, m»‘ night says: | At the close of the third week of the | | strike among the steelworkers in the Wellsville plant of the American Sheet Steel Company the steel trust has the bet- ter of the argument. Nine new men from | Scottsdale were taken into the mill to- | day. The men were in the parlor car of | the afternoon train, and the doors weré | locked at East Liverpool and the strikers’ | pickets refused permission to enter. When | the mill was reached the train was | stopped and the men were rushed under | the stockade before the pickets were able 1o get to them. The sirikers are in an ugly mood to-night znd much chagrined over the company getting the men into the mil. “Mayor A. P. Dennis had to interfere personally to-night with a body of strik- ers and prevent them from taking David Alman, a machinist of Brooklyn, forcibly to the camp across the river. The Mayor took the man to the train and paid his fare out of town to protect him. “‘Reports are in circulation to-night that | more men are coming on the midnight | train.

CHAIRNAN "FIVANCE Calf> NATIVE sQN( CZ B QR \S 9 AN JOSE, Aug. 2—The plans of the Native Sons for the Admis- sion day celebration in this city have matured sufficiently to as- sure a grand success. From all over the State come cheering words of co-operation, and a dozen large commit- tees are at work to make the fifty-first birthday of California a notable one. The parlors fn Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Salinas, Hollister, Livermore, Haywards, Alvarado, Centerville, Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Vallejo, San Rafael, Sausalito, San Francisco and many other places have Admission day committees making arrangements to come to San Jose. Be- fore leaving for the Garden City most of these parlors will parade from the halls to the trains. The most noteworthy of these parades will be the one in San Francisco on the evening of the 7th. Thirty-three parlors will be in this pa- rade, representing the ‘‘around-the-bay” Native Sons. This large delegation will come to San Jose by special excursion trains on the narrow gauge road. Large excursions will come over the Niles route from Livermore, Vallejo and way points. Santa Cruz will send its vis- itors over the South Pacific Coast Rail- road. Salinas Parlor will come over the Coast Division to Castroville, where Gab- ilan Parlor will join the natives from will swell the southern delegation, while at Gilroy Fremont Parlor of Hollister will complete the aggregation. These various parlors have had com- mittees on the field looking for halls and accommodations already, and it is pre- sumed that within a fortnight all general matters will be arranged. A celebration planned with the elabor- ateness with which the local Native Sons committee is arranging for the coming Admission day affair demands the deep interest and active ‘support of the busi- ness men of a commiunity. It has been the function of the finance and subscrip- tion committees to actively interest the merchants of San Jose in the coming fes- tivities in order that the large amount of money necessary might be raised. Judg- ing from the amount already pledged, the requisite amount necessary for the entor- tainment of e city’s guests is assured. At the lowest estimate $5000 will be neces- sary to carry out the committee’s plans. This amount has been carefully appor- tioned by the finance committee among the various sub-committees, so that each line of work may be properly carfied out. The three davs of entertainment will begin with the reception and escort of visiting parlors upon tke Saturday even- ing of arrival and end with the festivities of Monday, when the grand parade will be held. Meanwhile every moment of time will be filled with entertainment— evening and day parades, pyrotechnic dis- plays, parlor receptions and high jinks, picnics, outings, barbecues, concerts and =3 OFFICERS OF COMMITTEES FOR NATIVE SONS CELEBRA- TION IN SAN JOSE.

SEATTLE, Aug. 2—The latest news from Nome bearing on the tragedy that occurred on Unamik Island in June seems to shroud the affair in more mystery. Re- cently a letter from Unalaska gave an wherein D. Jackson partners were set upon by natives and the three partners were murdered. He told how he had barely escaped with his life. In the Nome Gold Digger of July 17 is a lengthy account of the affair as it reached Nome and no mention of an at- tack by natives is given. That paper says: b ¥The murder s to be investigated by officers of a revenue cutter, and whoever committed the horrible deed will be brought to justice. As told in the Gold Digger last week, the graves of the two prospectors were found on Unamik Island by the crew of the Thomas F. Bayard, with a rude cross to mark their last rest- ing place. On Thursday Captain W. Cros- by, master of the Kinghurst, reached Nome and told ‘the following tale: “‘On June 28 we spoke the Lizzie Colby, fishing in the Bering Sea, sixteen miles off shore. The captain requested us to re- port in case we met a revenue cutter that he landed at Cape Lippin, Unamik Island, {on June 17, and found the bodies of the two Sutherland brothers, whom he knew personally, lying dead on the beach, their bodies stabbed in many places. Strewn about in confusion were provisions and sacks of flour, the latter stamped with the names “Jackson and Sutherland.” The captain of the Colby stated that a man named Jackson left last fall to pros- pect with the Sutherlands. The captain of the Colby told me that he knew the Sutherlands_well, and they had $1000 in gold dust when they were landed at Cape Lippin last fall to prospect.’ " €Kills Himself With a Rifle.

GLERK MISGING AND GOIN GONE Transport Officer Is Ac- cused of Being a Defaulter. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Aug. 2.—Word was received from Victoria to-day of the alleged defal- cation of Quartermaster Clerk John Mc- Caull and his disappearance from the United States transport Egbert, on which he was assigned to duty. The Egbert sailed from Seattle for Alaska July 31, about half-past 3 o'clock. In the hurry of departure McCaull was not missed, particularly as he had been seen on board about 11 o’clock that morn- ing. When it was found that McCaull was not on board Captain George H. Pen- rose, the quartermaster in command of the Egbert, immediately made an investi- gation, and as he could not open the safe for some reason he had it blown open. He then found that all of the bills and -most of the gold except a few stray pieces were missing. - The shortage is stated to be $5463 34. There was silver in the safe to the amount of $91560. A certificate of de- osit on the Seattle National Bank for 4062 02, to the credit of Captain P. H. Mc- Caull, was found in a sealed envelope. Captain McCaull, the father of the miss- ing man, was formerly the commander of the Egbert, but recently left the service and is now somewhere in Alaska. Only a short time ago Captain McCaull was ap- pointed Postmaster of Lynchburg, Va., but has not yet qualified for the office. His son was clerk under him for several years, and when Captain Penrose as- sumed command Captain McCaull recom- mended him very highly for the position, and he was therefore retained for the duty. A{ noon on July 31 John McCaull was seen around the Hotel Diller in this city in citizen’s clothes, but from that time no trace of him can be found. Officers of the Government ‘are trying to locate him. Demands Property From Agent.

TRAIN WRECKS FRAIL TRESTLE Engines and Cars Meet ‘With Disaster on a Desert. e Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 2.—A double- headed freight train dashed over a tres- tle near Ludlow last evening and the fire- narrowly escaped a horrible death. train No. 33 at a lively rate, when in cross- ing a trestle a few miles west of Ludlow the timbers supporting the trestle gaye way and the engines crashed through. ‘While steam was hissing from the botlers the firemen and engineers crawled out from the cabs and aside from a few bruisss and scratches they were uninjured. Sev- eral cars followed the engines and an in- discriminate mass of wreckage was the result. Though the train crew on the freight train escaped death, the crew on the train that was hurried out from this city to clear up the wreckage were not so lucky, and now on a board slab at Barstow lie the remains of Juan Artegas, a Mexican. The wrecking train left this city shortly before midnight. All went well until the train passed Barstow, when Artegas, who was standing on one of the flatcars of the wrecking train, lost his balance and was thrown from the train and killed. Imrmediately after the wreck red signals were displayed along the tracks on both sides of the trestle. Shortly afterward the California limited came along and was stopped. The Eastern overland was also delayed. It was not until late this morn- ing that the track was repaired and traf- fic over the road was resumed. Both en- gines were badly broken, three cars dam- aged and the trestle demolished. The wreck was caused by a heavy rain which fell on the desert yvesterday.

G R Bpecial Dispatch te The Calk LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2—In handing down an order dismissing the fifth trial of Charles Compton; who four years ago was_arrested for forgery, Judge Luclen Shaw of the Superior Court to-day took occasion to tell the Justices of the Su- premes bench what he thought of them. The Compton case has cost Los Angeles County about $20,000, and although the accused is now dismissed he has spent four years and seventeen days in jail. In his order dismissing Compton Judge Shaw y8; ““There never has been any serlous ques- tion in my mind that the defendant was properly "convicted. The reversal was upon a point purely technical and not in- volving the question of guilt or innocence. I think it is proger to say here also that the decision of the Supreme Court, so far as it is sustained by the facts, was made upon a point not presented to the court below and not preserved In the record be- fore the Bupreme Court. “The decision In substance is that the second panel of jurors, called from an- other department to complete the jury, was not regularly brought into court. This objection was not made upon the trial and does not appear in the record. If made at all it was upon the argument in the Supreme Court. It Is well settled that such an objection cannot be made for the first time in that court.” Continuing Judge Shaw says that the citation of the case, the people vs. Ed- wards, is “wholly inapplicable” and *“is not authority for the absurd proposition that the names of a second panel, called only to be used upon an uncertain con- tingency, or the names of jurors sum- moned for other departments, must be put into the box along with these of the regular panel before the selection is be- gun.” In conclusion the Judge says: “It s to be regretted that the Supreme Court is so crowded with its work that it cannot give to the cases before it a sufficlent examination and consideration to avold such errors. In this case the result is a miscarriage of ‘justice.” EQUALIZERS CONSIDER THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC Flan Proposed to Take Small Branches Out of Hands of County Assessors. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 2.—The Southern Pacific Railroad was taken up by the State Board of Equalization late this afternoon and partially considered. The statement disclosed no increased length, as compared with a year ago, but an in- crease in trackage is shown, due to addi- tion of spurs and sidings, and the doub- ling of track a distance of thirty miles. The length of the road was given at 2089.02 miles and the value at $17,500,000 this year as compared with $14,715,000, last year's figure. The earnings this year are given as $17,004,503 88, against $14,145,129 15, last year’s sum. The actual net income is given as $1,277,822 55. A deficlency was claimed last year of $12,355 73. | Equalizer Toland announced his inten- tion to move to-morrow that the assess- ment of certain small branches be taken | out of the hands of the County Assessors | and placed with the State Equalizers, it is claimed by other Equalizers that the assessment of the local Assessors is lower | than would be that of the State Board | and that therefore no additional revenue | would be derived. It is probable that "Toland’s motion will provoke a lively de- bate to-morrow. i The board spent the earlier part of the day examining the statement of the Cen- | tral Pacific Railroad. The operating earnings in California are given as $9,006,- an increase of $1,010,424 2.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.—Dr. Henry Collins Minton of California, moderater of the Presbyterian General Assembly, has declined a call to the pastorate of the Chambers-Wylie Memorial Church in this city Further efforts are being made, al- though probably with little hope of suc- cess, to have Dr. Minton reconsider the matter. In his letter declining the call, Dr. Minton said he felt that his position was such toward the church on the Pa- cific Coast and the church at large—for it was as a representative of the Western country that he had been elected to the office of general moderator—that he did not see his way clear to accept the pasto- rate of the Philadelphia church. By vir- tue of his office Dr. Minton is chairman of the committee to revise the confession, of faith of the Presbyterian church. S e Hanged for a Double Murder.

It establishes reg- ularity, dn;s dis- agreeable drains, heals inflamma- tion amd ulceration, and cures female weakness. ' It gives good health to ‘women, which means uil nerves, a good appetite and sound sleep. - s bty ol o bptiA ooy £ B says Mrs. Mattie Hays, of Tnbnmau. McDonald Co., Missouri. You outlined a course of treat- ment for me. I followed yout directions, and now feel like a different persom. I mever expected to hear from you when I wrote to you. In three days after I commenced taking your ‘medicines I began to feel better. - I took tweg:‘y ipti and ‘Golden Medical Discovery.’ I bought it five dollars’ worth at a time, and also four vials of Dr. Pierce’s Pellets. I would not take one thousand dollars for the good the medicine has done me. I can't praise it enough. I wish ail who suffer with such troubles would give Dr. Pierce’s medicines a fair trial. I can work all day—doing anything, walk where I please, and feel good. Many thanks to you for your kind advice.” ¥ Dr. Pierce’s Medical Adviser, in paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one- cent stamps to pay expense of mmlg:} only. Address Dr. R. V.
