+ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALllJ, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1901. OFFICERS BEING CALLED HOrIE TO TESTIFY AT SCHLEY COURT Man Who Steered the Texas During the Battle Off San- tiago Bay Cannot Be Located. —_— ASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—En- signs W. P, Cronin, J. Halli- gan Jr., R. N. Marble Jr. and U. 8. Macy, who have been named as witnesses in the coming Schley court of inquiry, have been ordered to proceed to their homes imme- diately. With the exception of Macy, who is attached to the Atlantic, these of- ficers are now serving on the Asiatic sta- tion. Ensign J. T. Bowers, on the Ranger, and Ensign C. H. Woodward, on the Isla de Luzon, have been ordered home imme- diately, presumably with a view to utihz- ing them as additional witnesses. The judge advocate of the Schley court of inquiry has been trying for some time past to discover the whereabouts of Gus- taf E. Claeson, who may be wanted as a witness in the case. Claeson, it is said, was the man at the wheel on board the Texas during the battle of Santlago.

One of the steel officials sald to- that a general mistake was being made regarding the time it would take to train inexperienced men and make them capable of operating mill machines. This has been believed to be the case so long that few have taken the trouble to prove it otherwise. It is now determined, | he said, to have new men placed in po- sitions that will give them a chance to learn the skilled work and many of the men who held menial positions in the union mills are to be taught skilled, work with which they are in a measute fa- miliar through long association with the workings of the mills. It is confidently asserted that before many months pass it will be possible to produce many new men and plenty to man all the plants that are new idle and which union men have refused to take hold of. The strikers say it will take years to accomplish this. But Few Desertions Are Reported. Reports from all the mills of the cor- porations show that steady gains are being made from the force of non-union men. The strikers say they induced six non-union men to desert the Star mills to-day and shipped them back to Chi- cago, whence they came. On the other hand, Superintendent Piper of the Star | to start up the other mills in the plant, and the men now waiting for the im- provements to be completed are in the mill In the ~Painter mills | the work is progressing smoothly and no desertions are _ reported. New men are being secured, though the company officials say that on Sundays the strikers make an active canvass of the homes of the men at work and seek to induce them to remain away from the plant. The last two mills in the Painter | plant were to have been started to-dav, but it was found impossible to have them ready, and the starting was post- oned for a few days. Pickets about the indsay-McCutcheon plant in Allegheny say they turned back a new man to-day who was bound for the mills. Other than this there were no changes in the Allegheny plant. Another Mill Successfully Started. The only significant action in Law- renceville to-day was the successful starting of the Guide mill in the Lower Union mills of the Carnegie Company. The start was made, according to the officials, with a fu. crew and the ~mill will be run with~ut interruption. Re- garding the rumor that the steel work- ers’ strike would affect the opening of the window glass plants this fall, a prominent manufacturer to-day said the reason given for this was absurd. The building trades, he said, have not been affected by the strike in the least, as was asserted. The structural steel mills have not been stopped at any time and buildings have been carried up without interruption. If there is a delay in start- ing the glass factory fires, they say, it will be from other causes. There was little of interest about head- quarters of the Amalgamated Associa- tion to-day. The cause of the absence of Assistant Secretary Tighe was intimated in a report from Chicago, which says he is engaged with Vice President Davis in organizing a new amalgamated lodge in South Chicago, which will take the place of the one expelled by him two weeks ago. It is sald that fourteen mem- bers have been secured for the new lodge iaudt of the membership of the former odge. Tge American Tin Plate Company has announced that-it will start the Demm- ler mills of the company next Monday. Police protection has been asked from Mayor Black of McKeesport. Officials of the Amalgamated Assocla- tion will not discuss the report of in- junctions being served sgainst their members at Canal Dover, Ohio, until they hear officially from their district officers. It is believed by many of the lay members of the association that some effective way will be found by which injuctions can be circumvented. In 1888 the first law adopting the Aus- trallan system of voting was passed in Kentucky, and by 1898 the Australian sys- tem had come into force by legislative ac- tion in every State in the cpuntry, except North Carolina and South Carolina, 3 plant announced that he is nearly ready | L i st v e 4 R O = records show that he named Gertrude !

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Times to-morrow will say: The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad proper, that portion of the Santa | Fe system extending from Chicago td Al- buquerque, N. M., and Purcell,'L. T., is to be divided into two grand divisions and operated under two general superintend- ents. J. E. Hurley, at present acting general superintendent of the Santa Fe Pacific, Southern California ard San Joaquin Val- ley roads, the Santa ¥'e lines west of Albu- querque, will be the new general superin- tendent. The date of Mr. Hurley’'s ap- pointment, which will be simultaneous with the division of the road, has not yet been definitely decided on. It will be either September 15 or October 15. C. F. Ressigule, at present general su- perintendent of the entire Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe Raflway, will con- tinue to maintain headquarters in Topeka in charge of the Eastern grand division. Mr. Hurley will be in charge of the West- ern grand division, with headquarters at La_Junta, Colo. The 2[‘91‘\'1510“ of General Superintend ent Refsiguie will extend over the main line, and branch lines east of Newton, Kan., and the main line south from New- ton to Purcell, I.T. General Superintendent Hurley’s supervision will be over the main line and branch lines west of Newton, and over the Panhandle division, which now includes the Pecos Valley Railroad. In deciding_ to establish two grand di- | visions, the Santa Fe management is re- | turning to the system that was in effect for several years prior to 18%6. In that year H. U. Mudge, now general manager, was made general superintendent of the | entire Atchison, Topel# and Santa Fe Railway, and Charles Dyer, now general superintendent of the Colorado and South- ern, who had been for some time general superintendent of the Western grand di- vision of the Santa Fe, was reduced to a division superintendent and the grand di- visions abolished. IMPROVED POSTAL SERVICE IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS The Expenses During the Past Fiscal Year Considerably Exceed the Receipts. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—The Division of Insular Affairs of the War Department to-day made public the annual report of C. M. Cotterman, director general of posts in the Philippine islands. While the gross receipts from the {)‘Ostal service during the last fiscal year showed an increase over the preceding year, the expenses were in- creased to a considerably greater extent than the receipts. e “apparent de- ficiency is explained by a statement that considerable amounts had to be expended | during the year on mail transportation through foreign countries, the debt having | lapped over from the preceding year. . The number of regular postoffices in the archipelago was increased from nineteen to twenty-three. Cotterman urges the application of United States postage rates to the islands. He comments upon the irregularity of interisland mail transpor- tation and recommends that authority be given to advertise for bids for a regular service to all important points in the islands and that steamers awarded con- tracts be required by law to run on a set schedule. More Teachers for the Philippines. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—The transport Sheridan will leave San Francisco next Saturday with a number of teachers for Philippine schools and the transport Sum- ner will follow on the 12th with another large delegation of teachers for the same destination. —_——— Have You Read the Great Midsum- mer Number of “Sunset”?

MANY PERISH ~ INDIASTER Victims of the Delaware River Explosion Num- ber Dozen. Racing Believed to Have Caused the Bursting of the Boat’s Boilers. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20.—The result of the explosion of the boller on the steamer City of Trenton while on her way up the Delaware River from this city to Trenton, N. J., vesterday afternoon wa: more serious than was at first supposed. Nine persons are known positively to have been killed on the steamer and two of the injured still will probably die, / The identified dead are: WILLIAM NELSON, aged 67 years, a veteran of the Civil War, JAMES McCORMACK, Wilmington, Del., fireman. ELIZABETH GREENE, Philadelphia. WILLIAM DUNN, Philadelphia. A T. INASING, Trenton. WILLIAM H. KEENE, Philadelphia. JESSE STRATTON, Trenton, died in hospital. In addition to these there are two char- red bodies, belleved to be those of fe- males, in the morgue. They are beyond recognition and will be buried in the pot- ters’ field. List of the Missing. The list of missing, which will doubt- less add many to the death roll, follows: Irene Weild, aged 16 years; Clare Weild, aged 13, and Dora Weild, aged 9, three sisters of this city, who were with their uncle, Willlam Dunn, who was killed on the steamer; Mrs. 'Willilam H. Keene, whose husband was killed; John D. Chew N. J., assistant engineer; Miss_Elizabeth Lippincott of Bristol, Pa., a school teacher; Augustus Merkle, fire- man, Philadelphia; Mott Merkle, fireman, Philadelphia; Anna Herr, 16 years old, Philadelphia; Mrs. John W. Matthews, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Albert, Philadelphia; Neilie Ballentyne, Philadel- phia; Herbert Cross, Philadelphia; Ethel Stokes, Trenton, N. J.; Henry Johnson, Hulmeville, Pa.; Marion Ashmead, 17 years old, Philadelphia; Elizabeth Gilli- son, Philadelphia; James O’Connell, fir man, Philadelphia; Miss Edna Kinney, Philadelphia. Of the thirty-three persons taken to the hospital in the House of Correction, near the scene of the explosion, the following are in the institution: Mrs. Edna Van Scheick, Heightstown, N. J., will die; Miss Fannie Keen, Philadelphia, will die; W. C. Mershon, Morrisville, Pa.; J. W. Hast- ings. Philadelphia; Mrs. J. W. Hastings, Philadelphia; White Lansing, Trenton, N. J.; Miss Clara Connor, Philadelphia; Mrs, E. R. Smith, Philadelphia; Miss Reid. Racing Causes the Disaster. Although the searchers, consisting of a corps of city police, have been dragging the river ever since yesterday .afternoon they have been unabie to find any more bodies. That there are more victims in he river is the firm belief of the authorl- ies, and their failure to find additional dead is supposed to be due to the strong current in the river at the point whers the explosion occurred. The water was pumped out of the hull of the burned steamer, after which a careful search was made for additional victims of the explosion, but none wag found. el As to the exact cause of the explosion nothing is yet known, but a rigid inves- tigation is to be conducted at once. Many of the passengers who escaped in- jury maintain that the City of Trenton, which was late when she left her wharf in this city, was racing at her topmost | speed; and that if this had not been the case the accident would not have hap- pened. This is partly horne out by a statement said to have been made by As- sistant Engineer John D. Chew. Chew told his wife that he expected to be killed by an explosion on the steamer, as the company made the engineers keep up too high a pressure of steam. GIAR'S SCHEME IN THE BALKAN Warm Protests Made Against Russia’s In- trigues. LONDON, Aug. 30.—The Roumanian Premier, M. Suytrzia, recently visited Vienna, where he had long conferences with Count Goluchowski, the Austro- Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the situation in the Balkans. He conferred with General von Beck, chief of the Aus- tro-Hungarian general staff. Immediately after this visit articles ap- peared in the semi-official Hungarian pa- pers—articles believed in some quarters to be inspired by Count Goluchowski—warm- ly protesting against Russia’s intrigues in the Balkans. on rumors that Russia was massing troops onsthe Roumanian frontier and | sending torpedo-boats into the Kilia, an arm of the Danube; and they plainly warned Russia that, unless she faithfully adheres to the Austro-Russian agreement | of 1897 to preserve the status quo in the | Balkans, A of action.” The idea underlying this warning ap- pears to be that Russia, having attained her_objects in Bastern Asia, is now feady to pursue sipilar aims in the Bal- ans. One Berlin paper has gone so far as to describe the agreement of 1897 as “‘an in- strument to keep Austria quiet while Rus- sia is engaged in Manchuria.’ GOVERNMENT PURCHASES REINDEER IN SIBERIA Doubt Expressed as to Whether They Can Be Safely Shipped to Alaska. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The Secretary of tne Interior has received from Lieu- tenant Bertholf of the revenue cutter ser- vice a regort of purchases of reindeer made in Siberia for shipment to Alaska during the present summer. He says he has_secured 450 young does and fifty bucks, all of the large Tunsus breed, and that he thinks that a ‘contract can be made for 1500 reindeer for next summer. The deer were all bought in the vicinity of the Orla and they were to be shipped from that place to Port Clarence. The distance “is 2000 miles and Lieutenant Bertholf exgressed some doubt as to the success of the experiment. The deer pur- chased cost 13 rubles per head in Orla, but the additional expense In keeping, shipping, etc., brings the total cost of the animals landed in Alaska to about $30 each. AR ACCUSED POLICE CAPTAIN SEEKS CHANGE OF VENUE Motion Granted Modifying Previous Order Made Staying All Pro- ceedings Temporarily. NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—There was an- other Yearing in the Supreme Court to- day in the case of Police Captain Dia- mond, who is under indictment charged with neglect of duty in falling to suppress a disorderly house in his precinct. At its conclusion Justice Geigrich granted a mo- tion made by the District Attorney to modify the order in the case in so far as it strikes out that portion of Justice Dykeman'’s order, which ordered a stay of all proceedings pending the arguments for the change of venue and the transfering of the case to the Supreme Court. On the motion for the change of venue the Jus- tice reserved his decision. This means that Captain Diamond must plead as soon as the District Attorney can arrange mat- ters. by e ustria “will resume her liberty These protests were based | COLL 7/ TO ANSW ECTOR HOEY IS ORDERED ER BRIBERY CHARGE Sensations Are Promised in the Case of Federal Officials Near the Iexican Border. OGALES, Ariz., Aug. 20.—The ex- amination before the Court Com- missioner of Collector Hoey at this port began this morning. He was called upon to answer on three charges—bribery, unlawfully permit- ting Chinese to enter the United States and conspiracy in connection with other officials in permitting Chinese to enter the United States unlawfully. The last charge implicated the late Chi- nese Inspector Jossey of Tucson, who | committed suicide, or, as the local Coro< ner’s jury at Tucson said, “accidentally killed himself.” The complaint, so far as heard from siftings of the case, is one of the most strikingly sensational that has ever been known in official life in Ari- zona. The abrupt demise of Jossey, the Chi- nese inspector, leaves a page out of the history. It is a song of gayety ended at one step in tragedy. What the outcome will be is of vital importance, not only to directly interested, but in _many avenues of official life as regards the Government.

The squadron of the Fourth Cavalry at Fort Riley, together with the troops already stationed at the place, will form the nucleus of the school to begin some time this autumn. The squadron of the Fourth Cavalry, a battery of field artillery and a battalion of engineers will be ready for the opening of the Fort L o o e T S Special Dispatch to The Call. ™ was put on the stand for the prosecution, Dat objection was made on the score that he was not eligible as a_witness, because he was illegally.in the United States. He is the man who is alleged to have assisted in a scheme to smuggle Chinese acrossthe border. The Commissioner ruled out the testimony of the Chinese and took the matter under advisement. The most damaging evidence against Hoey was that of George Webb, a mount- ed inspector. He said he “got on to crook- edness” in Novembef last and bent his energies at getting at the bottom of facts. It was in his room that Special Agent of the Treasury Department Dickey was se- creted in_a closet and overheard a talk between Webb and Hoey of an agreement to divide the spolls from Chinese fraudu- lently permitted to pass across the line. The arrangement, he said. was that Webb was to get $10 from each Chinam: passed. ere was to be a mark, an ‘A, on each certificate, the holder of which was to pass unmolested. In all these transactions, Webb sald, he was paid his pro rata. Corroboration by Dickey. Special Agent Dickey _corroborated Webb’s testimony as regards the alleged combine, and further stated that he had Leavenworth School next year. The squadron of the Fourth Cavalry, together with the squadron of the Eleventh Cav- alry, now at Jefferson Barracks, will be Utilized for such miitary parades as may be necessary for the St. Louis Exposition. New Steamships for China Trade. NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—The Mail and Express to-day says: “The Northern Pacific Railroad Com- pan; decided to build two immense steamships for the Pacific and China trade of about the same size as those now building at New London, Conn., for the Great Northern Railway. They will be of 28,000 tons, or with three times the ca- pacity of an average ocean freighter. v found the letter ‘“A” on certain certifi- cates held by Chinese on the American side of the line. ‘W. 8. Cudaback, entry clerk in the Col- lector’s office, said Frank How and other Chinese often came into the office to talk with Hoey, and at all times the doors were secured. One day Hoey called Cuda- back in and said: “There are some Chi- nese who wish to come across the line, and there is five dollars aplece for you.” Cudaback says he replied: “That is very small and I will have nothing to do with The defense, in asking a continuance, made the plea that they wished data from the_Collector’s office to rebut the evidence of Webb and others before the prosecu- tion. The Commissioner granted a recess until 7 o’clock this evening. The night session was taken up mostly by the talk of attorneys, snd at a late hour Com- missioner George said he wotild dismiss the case in which the late Jossey was a defendant on the charge of conspiracy, but would hold Hoey on the charge of ac- cepting bribes and unlawfully permitting Chinese to enter the United States, and named the hour of 10 o'clock for fixing the amount of bo: 4 It is the general supposition that th. ~ond will be placed at D S S S s s i ANTICIPATE A SERIOUS STRIKE AT COAL MINES FORT SCOTT, Kan., Aug. 29.—In antici- pation of a serious strike at the Big Four coal mines in Southwestern Kansas, the company has representatives here employ- ing guards to protect non-union men or those who refuse to strike.
