SCORE. _ DEAD LIE UNBURIED Awful Mortality Con- tinues Among Alas- kan Natives. A v Bishop Rowe Tells of Grew- some Sights Witnessed on His Trip. P S Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Aug. 30.—Bishop Peter E. has returned to Sitka from a fourteen- months' trip to the farthest wilds of Northern Alaska. During this time he has wandered along the Arctic shores, tra- versed Bering Sea, journeyed down the entire Yukon, and, with a dog team and snow shoes, tramped over 1800 miles of frozen river and snowy forests. His ob- Ject was to spread the gospel of mercy among the Alaskan Indians, who have been dying by tens and scores during the past two years. Bishop Rowe pronounces their affliction the grip, and says that it has not been caused, as some supposed, by the incoming of white men and the purchasé of the fur robes and clothing Wwhich the Indians formerly possessed. In the large Indian village of Port Clar- ence Bishop Rowe found only a few inhab- itants still alive, while the dead were ly- ing everywhere unburied. Among the dead was a native who been en- trusted with a herd of 500 reindeer be- longing to himself and friends. After his @eath white men endeavored to get pos- session of the herd, and would have suc- ceeded but for the’ energy of Lieutenant Jarvis, who united the herd with the Gov- elrnment herd, thus saving it for the na- | tives, So widespread and terrible has been the grip epidemic that hardened miners were appalled and begged Bishop Rowe to aid At Point Barrow Bishop Rowe found BRITAIN, WHO MAY SOON RE- TIRE FROM OFFICE. | | esting news, the Pall Mall Gazette's an- | nouncement of the approaching retire: ment of Lord Salisbury attracted consid- | erable attention. After considerable in- 1ui ndent of The Call found there was nothing to_justify the prophecy. An official who has been more closely as- sociated with Lord Salisbury than any one elsg for over thirty years said: “I have not heard a ‘single word from Lord Salisbu or his friends to justify this latest resurrection of the retifement rumor. Tt is true Lord Salisbury is get- | ting very old, but he is now relieved of | the bulk of the foreign affairs, which | were formerly so trying. 1 do not think he is very eager to retire and, what is more to the point, I feel certain the party would not allow it unless age made far greater nroads on his health than it has | nt. 1 think you will see Lord ury Premier as long as his health | Inionist Government is in .

The first intima- tion of the trouble, which promises to re- | ;Fo]\'e itself into a battle royal between | the corporation and Colfax citizens, oc- | curred a day or two ago, when Mrs. Lob- | ner, mother of the Southern Pacific agent | here, ordered her workmen to blast out | some stumps preparatory to building a | new residence. The company's represen- | tative appeared and ordered the work | | stopPed, saying the raflroad campany | owned fifty feet of the front of the lot and | that it wanted possession at once. | This incident has aroused the entire town, as the company also claims every | | bit of 1gnd \within 200 feet on either side | of the main-track in the townsite of Col- fax. More than a“dozen property holders are affected, many of whom have fine | hon‘zies on land now clalmed by the rail- road. . The controversy will bring out some in- teresting developments when it is afred in the courts, and will explain the origi- nal transaction by which the land was ac- quired. When the railroad was decided upon Charles Crocker lald out the Colfax townsite and purchased the land, he being the head of a corporation which after- ward made transfers to the Central Pa- | cific. One strip on the east side of-the | track was purghased for $1750 and then | sold, it is said,"to the railroad company ; for $17,000. When the lesa.l battle begins the property holders will defend their title through the Crocker deeds and on the ground that they have occupled the land openly for years and pald taxes upon it. | The Southern Pacific ‘ompany will base its claim upon the act of Congress, It is reported that this is but the ning of a movement to provide for | double track all the way from Sacramento to Truckee, and that other towns along the road will be similarly affected. == mTary affec SHIP KING EDWARD i LOSES APPRENTICE | | Fohn Steel Falls From Staging While Painting the Vessel and Is | Drowned. | CROCKETT, Aug. 80.—John Steel, an | apprentice on the British ship King Ed- ward, now loading at Granger wharf, was drowned this morning.

FRUNE ASSOCIATION WILL GIVE BATTLE Will Attempt to Hold the Packers’ Company to the Terms of Its Contract. SAN JOSE, Aug. 30.—Long and bitter litigation is likely to result from the pack- ers’ action in breaking their contract with the California Cured Fruit Assoclation. This afternoon President Woods. of the Cured Fruit Assoclation sent an answer which he holds that the contract cannot be terminated at the will of the packers, but is in force and will remain in force | until June 1, 1802. Further, he declares the packers will be compelled to pay the assoclation for what fruit they purchase outside the association. Sections of the contract with the packers aré cited to support these statements. In his reply Presfdent Woods says: ’ You are respectfully requested to furnish the association with e statement of the stockhold- ers of your company who have purchased or contracted for the purchase from members of the assoclation of their prunes for the year 1901, and showing whéther any of these prunes rchased haye received by such R ders and ‘from what members of the essociation the contracts have been taken by stockholders of your company for the pur- chase of prunes of present year. The association holds that the prunes so purchased, when delivered to the rs, must be turned over to the assoclation upon the terms set forth in the growers’ printed form of contract adopted by the assoctation for the —iecn years 1900 and 1901.

AUGUST 31, 1901, DEATH’S HAND IS LAID UPON GENERAL LUDLOW Consumption Removes a Veteran Who Was an Ideal Soldier of Great Ability. EW YORK, Aug. 30.—Brigadier General Willlam Ludlow. U. S. A., died at Convent, N. J., from consumption to-day, at the house of Mr. Griscom. His illness was first noticed on his arrival in the Phillp- pines in May last. He was at once sent home in the hope that the American cii- mate would restore him and went at once to_Convent. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—General Lud- low’s friends have known for some time that his death was but a question of time. ‘While hé was serving as brigadier general of volunteers he was military governor of Havana and instituted many reforms in the government of that city. He was the ideal soldier in appearance and was a man of great ability. He was No. 3 on the list of brigadier generals and had he lived was destined soon to become a major general and perhaps ultimately to command the army. He was a brother of Rear Admiral Nicol Ludlow, retired. @ il wieieleleleieleli b @ | SETTLERS FEAR APAGHE RISING Chiefs Fail to Check| War Dance by the Braves. Special Dispatch to The Call. TUCSON, Ariz.,, Aug. 30—There is an aroused the settlers of that district and in the mountains about the/ San Carlos Indlan Reservation. One of ‘the Alexan- der brothers of Fort Thomas says that the Apaches have for the past three | weeks been holding a dance and the chiefs are unable to stop it. The Indians are becoming crazed from drinking too much tisguin, a very strong, intoxicating liquor made by them. The protracted de- bauchery has alarmed settlers in the val- ley because of threats made by the In- dians. The military post at San Carlos | was abandoned a year ago, and now the | agency is garrisoned by but six troopers | from Fort Grant, who are commanded by | a sergeant. These men belong to the | Fourteenth Cavalry, which was recently | recruited, and the recrufts are mostl “tenderfeet” who are not familiar wit! Indian warfare. However, Captain Over- ton and many trained soldiers are at Fort Grant, and they will respond at once if any trouble occurs, and, with four troops which now comprise the forces | at Grant, the Indians can be kept from harming the settlers. The Apaches are in bad humor, and since the chiefs have been unable to put a stop to the long dance; the settlers be- lieve they have lost control of them and their counsels will have little influence in case the young bucks go on the warpath. Alexander says some of the oldest resi- dents of Gila Valley have expressed fears of an outbreak, and the War Department will no doubt be asked to send a large detail of troops to San Carlos. very yeam the Apaches have dances, but heretofore the presence of many solé dlers has kept them within bounds. No outrages have been reported, but those who know the treachery of the Apaches e%act trouble to occur unless the In- dfun are compelled to give up tisguin and return to their work upon the ranches.

Whites Doubt Their Story and Believe Another Ves- sel Has Met Disaster. Spectal Dispatch to The Cal VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 30.—Advices have been received here from Juneau that on Saturday last Indians arrived there with a story to the effect that the wreck- ed steamer Islander lay in shallow water intact elght miles from the scene of the wreck. The Indians seemed to be certain of their facts and adhered positively to the statement that the hulk was that of the Islander. Speculation was rife in Ju- neau as to what the wreck could have been, as little confidence was placed in the story of it being the Islander. All hope of finding more bodles at the scene of the Islander disaster has been abandoned, as the icy waters of the north seldom give up-their dead. The bodies that have been found were all supported by buoyant articles, such as pieces of wreckage or life preservers. A court of inquiry into the loss of the Islander will begin its sittings here on Tuesday morning. Captain Gaudin, local agent of marine; Captain G. J. Cox and J. A. Thompson, inspector of boilers, have been appointed commissioners by the Government. The inquiry was -or- dered to begin at once. All surviving offi- cers and crew and as many passengers as are available will be summoned to give evidence. FARMER IS CHARGED WITH STEALING WATER His Wife and Hired Man Named as Accessories to the Alleged Theft. SAN JOSE, Aug. 30.—A mysterious leak- age in a water tank, which for some time baffled the owner of the water, has re- sulted in Charles Ritchle, a farmer; Jane Doe Ritchie, his wife, and Charles Scott, a hired man, being charged with steal- ing this common drinking fluid. Com- plaints charging petty larceny have bcen issued by Justice Rosenthal. O. P. Mills is the complainant, and he alleges the theft has been going on for some time, and that he has lost $49 worth of water. Mills has the contract for supplying water to the county for road sprinkling purpdtes, and he has a tank opposite the Ritchie farm on McLaughlin avenue. The water which was pumped inte this tank mysteriously disappeared, and when the sprinkling" wagons drove up there was none to supply them. After much inves- tigation and nights of wakeful watching Mills discovered a pipe leading from his waterine tank into the Ritchie premises. He tried to catch Ritchie using the water, | but declares he was unsuccessful, saying | that the’ illegal takers used it only at night and when sure he was not around. Yesterday M disconnected the pipe at the tank, and he declares that when they -+ | | saw what he had done the three accused persons threatened him with bodily harm.
