W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.— \ Russia is earnestly co-operating | with the United States to effect the liberation of Miss Stone. In- *| formation has been received by the State Department from St. Petersburg showing that the Russian authoritles are doing { everything in their power to effect the woman's release. Through their repre- | sentatives in Constantinople and Sofia | they have applied diplomatic pressure to | Turkey and Bulgaria, and this has had | much to do with the activity those gov- { ernments have displayed.

PRESCOTT, Wash., Oct. 2l.—Because | the parents of Myrtle Marr and Alta | Reavis, 17 and 16 years old, respectively, | would not let them marry they startled Prescott last night with a double elope- ment. Their partners were Timothy Shea and Clifford Reavis, whose ages are 20 and 19 years. A hard race Is on between the youthful lovers and the officers in every town between here and Beattle, with the chances apparently in favor of the officers. i Shea and Reavis met the girls early last | evening. At 5 o'clock they were at the Oregon depot, but four hours later sud- denly took a carriage for Riverside, a smail station seven miles west, on_the Washington and Columbia River Rail- road. Here they boarded a train and went to Eureka Junction, where Shea pur- chased four tickets for Seattle. All the persons concerned are promi- pent. Shea's iather is a rancher at Col- | ville Springs, seven miles northeast of | here. Miss Marr’'s people live at the edge of town, and the Reavises are close neighbors. Shea is a strapping Irishman, curly and handsome. Both the girls are | pretty, but Alta Reavis is scarcely more than a child. Willilam Reavis objected to Clifford Reavis because he was a second cousin of the girl and was too young to know what marriage meant. Clifford worked | on the farm fo~ William Reavis, who had | reared him. Clifford and Myrtle were 1 | brought up tozether like brother and sis- ter. Strenuous efforts are being made to | catch the elopers. | ROOSEVELT APPOINTS A GOLD DEMOCRAT | George E.

According to a re- mark by a captain of one of the United States revenue cutters now at Nome, the Government w:ll bring to Seattle late this autumn those who are actually stranded in Nome. Last year when the Government noti- fied the citizens of Nome of its charitable intentions about 200 persons who had the means and would otherwise have come i down on passenger steamers played the part of hypocrites and allowed themselves to be taken care of by the Government. | Several of these fraudulent “destitutes,” it was found afterward, brought down | pokes of from $500 to $3000 each. To avoid a repetition of these frauds it has been made to appear in Nome that no one | would be brought out by the Government | this year. As a consequence all those except the reaily deserving poor will have come out by the time it is known that Uncle Sam is to take a hand. The method of this diplomacy was somewhat novel. It is not generally known that a revenue cutter can accom- modate large numbers of passengers. This, however, is true. The cutters Bear, Thetis and McCulloch have remained at Nome to the very close of the season, os- tensibly to protect the merchant marine. This was only partly the case, as the cut- | ters are to bring down the indigent gold- seekers. Forest Fire Near Monterey. MONTEREY, Oct. 21L—Fire has again [broken out in the woods back of Monte- | rey, and is burning fiercely not more than | a mile from New Monterey. Fortunately | there is no wind and the fighters are get- | ting the flames under control. Many be- | lieve this fire is the work of incendiaries, | though it may have originated from some | smoldering root from last week's big fire. " T XKills Large Mountain Lynx. SAN JOSE, Oct. 21.—The largest lynx killed in this county in years was shot in the mountains back of Evergreen yes- terday by Oliver Hainer of this city.

OUR MINING VISITORS Have been among our patrons Special Dispatch to The Call. i SEATTLE, Oct. 21L.—Captain John Al-| win, master of the steamship Garonne, has had his license suspended for ninety days, and Duncan Cree, her chief en- gineer, suffers the revocation of his papers, for bringing the vessel, which sailed on September 20 for Nome, back to this port, on the ground that it was | unsafe, owing to “leaky boflers and poor coal,” to proceed on the voyage. The Board of Inspectors’ decision, in part, follows: To the great surprise of all on board, it ' seems, all of the engineers, headed by th» chief,” concluded they couid not perform ths passage to Cape Nome, giving as their reason “*Leaky boilers and poor coal,” and then they had .a letter written and handed to the cap- tain. The captain, being a youns man wit out ‘much experience, submitted to their re- quest and decided without further controversy to return to his home port for repairs to the boilers and to get better coal. Here was a ship well on her passage to her port of destination, and at Dutch Harbor plenty of coal could be had, If the 3000 tons the ship had on board was not sufficient to make steam. But the simple-minded man at | the head of the ecngineers departmnt dis. | covered all at once that the coal was poor and | a few of the tubes were leaking, which he gave as his reason for not proceeding on the voyage. When the ship Wi ucaded tor a home port there was no trouble ab-ut kzeping up steam, as the log shows a speed of nine and a half and ten knots on her run up the straits. There seems to be no que. tion but that the for years.

This is almost a case of_ insubordination on board of a ship at sea. If the captain had | usad his authority as master of the ship and the engineers had refused to chey all would | have been held liable to revocation of ther papers, but it seems by the evidence they sicmed the letter just at the simple request of their chief, without any consideration of the consequences, which, to say the least, was a cowardly act and ought to be condemned by all good men who 0 to sea.
