Equipped with a dark lan- tern and a big revolver and his face hid- den behind a mask, he prowled about the rooms. The apartments of Dr. and Mrs. Dixon were entered and both were awakened. Mrs. Dixon, beliey the prowler was her husband, inquired what he was looking or. gruif_voice commanded her to cover up her head and keep quiet.

S - ANTA ROSA, Sept. 27.—All the schools in Santa Rosa and most of those in the surrounding coun- try were given a holiday to-day to enable the children to attend the agricultural street fair. Large num- bers of visitors from Kenwood, Glen El- len, Scnoma and other places in the val- ley were in attendance. This was Santa Rosa and Sonoma Valley day, and the at- tendance was the largest of the week. The stock parade came off this morning as scheduled, and a fine showing of ani- mals it was. One nice feature of the pa- composed of children driving and riding their ponies, and some fine Shetland stock was shown. Handsome driving horses were in the next division, and the road- sters seen here would do credit to any community. In the cattle division were shown the only herd of full-blooded Jer- seys in Northern California—that 1is, north of San Francisco Bay. They are the property of George *T. Trowbridge of Windsor. Some Holsteini cattle were in line from J. O. Beauchamp’s ranch. He also had a herd of six Purhams. C. M. Sheibel exhibited some Shorthorns.

Captain McCalla said he had told Schley he could coal without difficulty at Cape Haytien. In reply to an explicit question the witness said that with a collier present he could not have anticipated any difficulty In remaining off Santiago for a considerable time. In response to questions he next related briefly the bombardment of the Cristobal Colon on May 31. When asked what had been left undone to accomplish the destruction of that vessel he replied that Admiral Schley had failed to use his entire force in making the attack, Mr. Hanna inquired if this was an important omission. Captain Parker, on behalf of Admiral Schley, objected. The objection was sustained by Admiral Dewey, he remarking that ‘‘such questions should not be asked under the -ruling of the court.” Captain Parker was about to proceed with further remarks, whereupon Admiral Dewey asked him to desist, saying: “‘We will ad- journ now; we can take all day to-morrow for that.” Accordingly, at 4 p. m., the court adjourned. SAMPSON’S REQUEST DENIED. Court Refuses to Permit Attorneys tc Appear for Him. During the afternoon session of the court, while Admiral Sampson’s relation to the cam- palgn was indirectly under discussion in con- nection with a magazine article by the ad- miral, V. H. Stayton, attorney at law of New York City, sent to the court a note from Ad- miral Sampson requesting that counsel be al- lowed to appear before the court in his behalf. Lieutenant Hood was at that time on the stand and no immediate reply was made to the request. Stayton, who was present in the room, then approached Admiral Dewey to re- mind him of the request. 'The admiral told him that a reply would be made to his letter and asked him to remain outside the railing inclosing_the court. When Lieutenant Hood had concluded Judge Advocate Lemly, by direction of the court, read Admiral Sampson's letter, which was as follows: “BROOKHAVEN, Lake Sunapee, N. H., Sept. 9, 1901 “Sir: I respectfully request that Messrs. Stayton and Campbell be permitted to appear before the court of inquiry as my counsel to represent my interests. Very respectfully, “WILLIAM T. SAMPSO! ““Rear Admiral, U. 8. N. “Admiral George Dewey, President of Court of Inquiry, Navy Department, Washington, ey Addressing the court, said: “If the court please, the precept in the third clause from the bottom says: ‘Rear Admiral Schley has been informed of his right to be present there in person or by counsel during the investigation to cross-examine witnesses and to offer evidence to the court should he so de- sire. The court may at any time grant to gthers interested and entitled thereto like priv- eges.” “I have only to say that I have not consid- ered, and I still think that Admiral Sampson is mot a party to this inquiry. The matter is one within the discretion of the court. Admiral Dewey. responded: “The court de- cides that he cannot appear.’” Before the court adjourned the formal reply to Admiral Sampson’s letter was read and a copy of it handed to Stayton: “COURT OF INQUIRY, Navy Yard, Wash- jogize. D, . Sept.afl. *‘Admiral: am to-day in receipt, through Mr, Btayton, of your letter of the Sth instant, the judge advocate Tequesting that Messrs, Stayton and Campbell be permitted to appear before the court of in- quiry as your counsel to represent your inter- ests. In reply you are advised that the court does not at this time regard you as a party to the case now before it, and, therefore, is un- able to comply with your request. Very re- spectfully, “GEORGE DEWEY, Admiral, U. S. N., ‘'President of the Court. “Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, U. S. N."* After the court adjourned Stayton sald that to-morrow he would again remew his request to be allowed to appear in Admiral Sampson's behalf. He added that the continued refer- ences to Admiral Sampson were offensive and should be properly met. He further stated that he did not regard favorably efforts on the part of the judge advocate to prevent exploitation of Admiral Sampson’s part In the war. He thought It better to bring the matter in and meet the question squarely, Two naval officers, one representing the Gov- ernment, the other Admiral Schley, in the court of inquify, were at the signal office in the War Department to-day, searching for copies of dis- patches that were exchanged between the fleet and the signal station at Aguedores between July 1 and July 3, 1895, inclusive. Nothing could be found and it is’ supposed that If the messages were wigwagged and communicated to General Shafter at headquarters by telephone the signal officer in_charge made no record of them. The officer, M. F. Green, has been tel- egraphed as to whether or not any records were kept of the messages. The messages sought were those between the flagship New York and the shore, LOS ANGELES RACE Eleven California Horses Will Sport Colors in the Derby Classic. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2.—The fall race meeting of the District Agricultural As- sociation will begin at Agricultura] Park to-morrow. There will be thirteen days of racing.

Smallest Returns From a Single Pan Twenty-five Cents in Gold. et Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 21.—A dispatch from Dawson says: A pay streak seventy-five feet deep and of unknown length and breadth, although it is known to be ex- tensive, and averaging 25 cents to the pan the entire depth, is what is claimed for the Sugar bench claim, at the head of Grouse Gulch. It is owned by Axel Olsen, A. A. Johnson, John C. Nelson, Adolf Isaksen and Alfred Carlson. It is across the divide from the well-known Mattie, Daisy and other rich bench claims and is directly in line with them. This claim was located in 1899, and the owners have been developing it ever since. Two_shafts have been sunk to bedrock, one 100 feet deep and the second, which also serves as an alr shaft, 175 feet. At the bottom of the 100-foot shaft a sort of false bedrock was found. Above this was six feet of pay gravel, which averaged from 20 cents to 30 cents to the pan. The owners resolved to keep on sinking, and a short distance from the first shaft they began a second. At a depth of 175 feet they struck the true bed- Tock, with seventy-Ave feet of pay gravel above it. It has been systematically and thoroughly panned and the smallest pan recorded was worth 25 cents. Two hun- dred feet of tunneling has been done and the pay runs the same. The amount of gold bearing dirt simply passes belief, but there it is to show for iteelf and convince the most skeptical. Its value must be enormous, and its owrers say it is not for sale at any price. It was bonded for $50,000, and its owners were “ghivering in their boots,” fearing that the price asked would be paid for it; but the bond lapsed and they breathed a sigh of relief and went to work with a wiil They have taken out and washed a good deal of dirt, and the result”was even more satisfactory than they had expected. They gave out no information as to what they were getting and none but themselves + knew of the bonanza that lay beneath their claim. Now they say they do not care who knows of the great find. Lewis Garrison, who visited the claim recently, vouches for the truth of the foregoing statements. He says the extent of the gravel is simply maryelous. He panned for himself and brought the pan- nings to Nome. Other well-known citi- zens who have examined into the state- ments made as to the wealth of the claim aver their belief in them. RIZZLY BEAR KILLS HUNTER Ferocious Beast Par- tially Devours Its Victim. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 27.—Dantel Rice, a mining man and hunter of Kaslo, in the Kootenay country, was killed and | eaten by a grizzly bear early this week while hunting near Ainsworth. Rice and George Adams started on Sunday on a shooting tour down Kootenay Lake, and the same night the men landed on the shore and camped. The next day, at noon, Rice started across the divide to kill a bear, several having been seen in that vicinity. The grizzly bears usually stay high up the mountains, | of the year they come farther down in search of deer and smaller animals that live below the snow line. Rice was away for seven or eight hours, when Adams became anxious about him. All night he kept up a big fire in the hope of attracting his companion's attention | should he have been lost. but in the morn- of twins were de- | ing there was no sign of Rice. Adams then went to a logging camp near by to obtain assistance and, with a half dozen men, started up a ravine where Rice had taken his course the previous day. They found Rice’s body less than two miles from the shore of the lake. He was lying alongside a_ fallen tree, on which were the marks of his boots where he had_been walking. It appeared as though he had passed a bear farther up the log and had not seen it and that the bear silently followed and leaped upon him. The man had fallen over the log in such a way as to break his back. or else he was killed by a stroke from the bear. His body and the surrounding brush were covered with blood. Rice's skull was fractured, both arms were broken and his face and breast had been eaten away by the bear. One foot was almost completely severed and his coat and cartridge case were in tatters. Two men remained behind, armed with rifles, bear, while the others came to the city with the remal Best Time of Year to Go East. Start October 3 or 4 and return in December.

South African States Still Hope to Be Recog- nized. NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Charles D. Plerce, representative in the United States of the Orange Free State, has re- ceived a copy of the appeal made by the Boers to the Administrative Counci. of the permanent Court of Arbitration it The Hague. The appeal, which is dated The Hague, September 10, begins by reciting tie fact that The Hague Convention of tie 29th of July, 1899, provided a way for the peaceful settlement of internatioral dif- ferences whereby the jurisdiction of the permanent court could be extended to differences between powers which had not become signatories, as also between powers which had become and tnose which had not- become signatories. 'The appeal continues: Immediately upon the receipt of the commu- nication, notification was made in behalf of the govérnments of the states represented by the undersigned to his Exceliency, tos then president of your council, that these Jovern- ments wouid be pleased if the war being waged in South Africa could be terminated by the arbitration of this court. Now that this war has gone on for nearly two years, without any Pprospects of an end thereto, except in the way only recently acknowledged as being the most efficacious, and at the same time the most equitable means of deciding international differ- ences, to wit: submission to arbitration, the desirability, mutually, for such a peaceful ter- munation cannot but become more ant. more acknowledged. Ask for Arbitration. The states represented by the undersigned, therefore, consider that they should repeat the proposal made by them before the war, but rejected by England, to submit to arbitration the differences which gave rise to the var. In this they particularly have in view th: ques- tion whether England is right in allegiig that any actlon was taken by the republics which had for its object the suppression of the English element or its expulsion from South Africa, and generally whether the republics have made fhemselves gullty of any act which, according to internationally recognized principles, would give. England the right to deprive tliem of their independence. ‘The undersigned, moreover, allege that Eng- land already at the outbreak of the wa', com- menced, and has continued to act, in comtra- vention' of the rules of war between clvilized powers as generally, and also by Englaid her- self acknowledged, and as solemnly coifirmed by The Hague convention of the 29th of Jul: 1899 concerning the laws and usages cf wa faré by land, while England has, mereover, quite recently, by proclamation, issted by Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, at Pretoria, and dated the 7th day of August, 191, virtuslly no- tified us that she intends shortly to tike ac- tion in contravention of article 20 also. The governments of the states represented by the undersigned are fully prepared, as an opportunity thereto shall be afforded them, to substantiate the allegation herein made by setting forth and proving the particular facts to which they refer. England’s War Policy. Since England sees fit to deny this continual violation by her of the laws of warfire the states represented by the undersignel con- sider that they also, In regard to this differ- ence, seek a decision of the permanent court of arbitration. The undersigned and their gov- ernments are aware that in order to obtain such a decision the consent of England is re- uired. They, therefore, take the liberty of soliciting your council to apply for such con- sent or to endeavor to obtain the same by your mediation or by the governments repr sented by you. Should the English Government give an unfavorable reply it will thersby be manifest that they dare not submit theraselves to the judgment of a conscientious, learred and impartial tribune. They will then, mcreover, continue to bear the responsibility for tie pro- longation of a war as terrible as it is unnec- essary and they will have tacitly acknoviedged that the manner in which théy have carried on the war is in conflict with the dem:nds of humanity and civilization as confirnied by themselves. ed by W.
