Demand for Eight-Hour Day Is Met With a Stern Refusal. CAAPRIZRG Speclal Dispatch to The Call. PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 4—"I will let the grass grow up in the streets of Jer- ome before I will grant the demand for an eight-hour da: Such was the reply to-day of Senator W. A. Clark to the demands of the strik- ers at his great United Verde mine at Jerome. Clark reached Jerome yesterduy and was met at the train by a2 committee of miners, who presented the demands of the smeltermen andother above-ground workers in the big copper producer. Clark requested until to-day to consider the matter, but in the meantime about 700 men stopped work. T 2y when his answer was given to aiting throng of men, word was im- y sent to the workmen below ground and 1000 more men &re on the strike list. There is no doubt that Clark will adhere to his decision, and the min- ers are just as emphatic in their declara- tions that they can stand it as long as Clark. It is understood by a dispatch to- night to the Republican that Clark in- tends bringing in men from his Montana | mines. The Jerome union has not yet sanc- tioned the strike but is expected to do so to-morrow. Only about 200 men are left at work and they are_likely to quit at any time. The United Verde is doubtless the greatest copper producer in the world and its value is estimated at $100,000,000. It is said to be paying profits of $1,000,000 per month.

He came to California in 1849 and had re- sided at Mountain View continuously since 1864.

HILTON RESUMES NORTHWARD JOURNEY Pretty Young Woman Who Took Poison on Train Leaves Oakland for Redding, Still Maintaining the Strictest Secrecy g + + — MYSTERIOUS YOUNG WOMAN WHO TOOK CHLORAL ON TRAIN AND WOKE UP AT OAKLAND RECEIVING HOSPITAL SUFFICIENTLY REFRESHED TO RESUME HER JOURNEY TO REDDING. + - AKLAND, Aug. 4.—Pretty Mrs. | was hopeless. We were anxious to get Cora Hilton of Redding, whose | some sort of a clew, because in the event journey to the Shasta County town was interrupted yesterday by her strange attempt at suiclde in a Pullman car, threw more mystery about herself by suddenly leaving the Receiving Hospital ward this morning, declaring she would resume her trip north by the morn- ing train. The hospital attendants discovered their patient fully dressed and ready to depart at 6 o'clock. To their inquiries as to her condition, the mysterious brunette calmly replied that she had decided to go home, and that she was fully capable now of caring for herself, a statement which, the nurses said, was fully verified by her ap- pearance. They were astonished that their patient should have revived so suddenly from the effects of the drug which had overcome her the previous night. The drastic medical treatment her condition rendered necessary was enough of itself to have debilitated any ordinary mortal, But Mrs. Hilton of Redding was as fresh and blooming at 6 o'clock this morning as if she had not a care on her mind, nor a physical ajlment to give her the slightest cause for depression. ‘Mrs. Hilton was dumb to all queries con- cerning herself or her reasons for taking oison. She only reiterated her desire to eave the hospital in time to catch the morning northbound train. There was no good reason why she should be detained, so the hospital attaches discharged their mysterious patient and she headed imme- diately for Sixteenth-street station. The railroad hands about the depot recollected subsequently that a dashing young wo- man, brunette, with a pair of sparkling eyes set in a pretty face boarded the out- bound overland for the north. “Tt's the queerest case 1 ever ran up against,”” was Steward Harry Borchert's comment to-day. “The woman appeared to be in the most serious condition. But | we could not_get a word from her as to what she had done until we pressed her with questions about possible pofson she might have taken. When the doctor said ‘hloral’ she nodded her head affirmative- v and then we went to work. “But every effort we made to learn something about her and her relatives of a fatal termination of the case we | would have had a chance to notify people who might have been interested in her.” It was only by the finding in her small hand satchel of two telegrams addressed to Mrs. Cora Hilton from Redding and the fact that her railroad ticket was from that town that a trace of her identity was uncovered. When she was called by that name Mrs. Hilton lost her self-control for an instant, and in a surprised tone satd: “How do you know who I am?”’ That settled the question of identity, but as to all else concerning herself she departed without supplying a word of in- formation. —_— MRS. CORA HILTON IN REDDING. Identity of Woman Who Attempted Suicide on Train Fully Established. REDDING, Aug. 4.—Mrs. Cora Hilton is the true name of the woman who at- tempted suicide on the Overland train ar- riving yesterday, but the cause which led her to make the rash attempt is still un- explained. She arrived by the Shasta -x press to-night and was met at the depot by “Prince” Pollock, the man whose name was signed to a telegram found in the we- man’s possession when an attempt was made to establish her identity. Pollock is a merchant here, a son of J. E. Pollock of Yreka, and Mrs. Hilton Wwas in his_employ about a month ago. The husband of Mrs. Hilton is an operator in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company at Shady Run on the mountain division, between Sacramento and Truckee. About a year ago Hilton was in the service of .the company at Keswick and later at Redding. The period of his employment here was brief. Mrs. Hilton's rallread ticket read from Emigrant Gap to redding, the direct route being by way of Sacramento. Why Mrs. Hilton continued on to Oakland in- stead of coming direct to Redding is as much a mystery here as the motive which impelled her to seek to end her life. Mrs. Hilton is now a guest at the Webb Room- ing House in this city apparently fully re- | covered from the effects of the dose of f_?loral with which she sought to end her ife. GENERRL GRANT VERY OPTIMISTI Has Hope for the Speedy Pacification of the Philippines. ¥ —_— LONDON. Aug. 5—The Vienna corre- spondent of the Times telegraphs at length an interview he has had with Gen- eral Frederick D. Grant of the United States army, who is now in Vienna on his way from Russia, where he visited his daughter. “General Grant takes a hopeful view of the speedy pacification of the Philip- pines,” says the correspondent, “although there is no question in his opinion that the humane principles now governing the conduct of tge military operations great- ly increase the difficulties of suppressing guerrilla warfare. “He is convinced from a political stand- point that severity is not desirable. the delay occasioned by generosity being more than compensated for by the better feeling among the native population.”” General Grant, according to the corre- spondent, is now going to Manila. Guarding Against Incendiary Fire. TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 4.—Guards have been placed around many homes in Tam- pa to prevent incendiary fires. Those whose homes are guarded are known leaders in the anti-Resistencia strike movement, It is belleved that the crisis in the strike situation will be reached this week. As yet there has been no attempts at violence, although rumors of possible incendiaristh have been rife for two days, and every precaution has been taken to prevent it. ——r————— A Connoisseur in Picture Frames 15 hard to please, but we have all the new shapes and finishes in frames and mold- lnf!.

The writer assumes that it never was the intention of the law that farmers and others selling actual grain should pay a tax and that it applies only to those ‘who sell “futures” without ever intending their delivery. The writer refers especial- ly to sales of grain ‘“to arrive’’ and states that is the trade which he thinks should be exempt fronw tax. In reply the Com- missioner rules that grain sold on a Board of Trade or Exchange ‘to arrive’ may be exempt from tax if at the time of sale the grain is on a vessel, boat or car and in actual course of transportation, but if the sale is made before the grain has been shipped, or if the grain has arrived at its destination, the exemption does not apply. In order to determine the fact whether merchandise sold is actually in course of transportation at the time of sale, a_ bill of lading is indispensably necessary. In case a bill of lading cannot be conveniently furnished to accompany the memorandum of sale. a certified copy may be used instead of the original. National Bank Is Closed. AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 4—Federal Bank Inspector J. M. Logan to-day closed the First National Bank of this city. Alleged excessive loans are said to be the cause of the inspector’s action.

No officlal statement will be issued pending a removal of the insoectar. Disease and Famine Are .Causing Widespread Distress. DO Situation Misrepresented by ‘the Government and Re- lief Is Inadequate. e AN L Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. 8T. PETERSBURG, July 22.—A trav- eler chancing into the district of Eliza- bethgrad, province of Kherson, South Russia, would find men and women who, endowed with serviceable visual powers as long as the sun is visible, become to- tally blind the moment twilight sets in, and must beled home. This is one of the queerest diseases known to medical science, and is one of the camp followers of the famine which is not officially ad- mitted to exist in this district. In correspondeace from here mention has been made from time to time of the drought which visited many, though not large, districts of Russia last year, and of the efforts made by the Government to alleviate suffering resulting from it. The Ministry of the Interior repeatedly de- clared the famine had been conquered, food had been distributed and seed corn provided. The necessity for private benevolence was reluctantly admitted at one time in the winter, but later the existence of severe want was denied. Newspapers here recelved during the last few months con- tain occasional letters depicting the situ- ation in anything but the rosy colors which the Government organs used. The Government answered by reca- pitulating what had been done and repeating former assertions that all was as well as could be expected, and then the newxpatvers recelved a secret circular forbidding further mention of the subject. he existence of famine was an incon- venient fact at a time when negotiations were pending for foreign loans. Access to the famine districts was made difficult for non-residents and the charity workers who were not directly under the control of the State were sent to their homes and the agencies they had created were placed under the Red Cross. These measures did not still the natural curi- osity to ascertain the truth about the matter, and certain people with influence ‘which could not be ignored sent a trust- worthy young man to Elizabethgrad fo investigate. He has just returned. With- out going into detalls he reports the fol- lowing facts: The city and district of Elizabethgrad, with a population of 600,000, are suffering now from famine and disease incident upon famine. The Investigator found: 1. General destitution. 2. Many cases of acute destitution. 3. Some people dying of starvation. 4. Spotted or ‘hunger typhus” prevalent. Hunger typhus fever i{s an unfailing indica- tion that poverty has sharpened into want. Whole families are attempting to exist on rations allowed a child. The Government rule is to omit persons not actually sick with disease who can be labeled as able-bodied working people. There la little or no work to be found, consequently rations cannot be had until they are no longer of such benefit. The Government gave minimum quantities in the first place and delivered supplies of seed corn and foodstuffs to the nearest railway stations. The peasants, having already been forced to sell their horses, were unable to secure the | supplies so furnished in many cases without giving a large part to draymen. The investigator was told that fhose con- versant with local resources and mof in the confidence of the Governor were utterly unable to see how the soul and body of the majority of the population were to be held together un- til the new crops should be harvested and available. WILL ATTEMPT TO I'T.OAT WRECKED STEAMER ACIS ‘With the Exception of the Grain All the Cargo Can Be Saved. S8T. JOHNS, N. F., Aug. 4—A messen- ger who arrived to-day from the scene of the wreck of the steamer Acis, west of Cape Race, reports that the salvors are taking cotton from her. The steamer Grand Lake is taking other portions of the cargo. She had on board 144,000 bush- els of wheat in bulk, 1200 bales of cotton, 2710 bags cottonseed meal and 1175 pleces of pitch pine. ‘With the exception of the grain, all the cargo is easily salvable. The coast folk are getting 40 per cent salvage. The weather is fine and promises wall, so that there is a good chance of float- ing the Acis. She lies in a bad place, and breezes from west to south, if strong, would speedily destroy her. Captain Tate and the crew have abandoned her and are now at Trespassey. No news was received to-day from the wreck of the steamer Vera, near Renews.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 4—Another chapter has been added to the feud which has for its participants certain residents in the neighborhood of Iron Mountain. To-day Nels P. Nickel was brought to the hospital’ in this clty suffering from three gunshot wounds, the result of an attack, as he says, made upon him in his alfalfa fleld about 6 o’clock this morn- | ing. He says three men began shooting | at him as he was walking along, and be- | ing unarmed, he turned and fled. During | his retreat more than a dozen shots were | fired at_him, three of which took effect. | and as he neared his home he fell to the | ground exhausted. His brother-in-law, | hearing his cries for help, came to where | he lay and carried him into the house. | Nickel was then brought to Cheyenne and | placed in a hospital. He is in a ous | condition.
