WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Governor Murphy of Arizona in his annual report advocates the sale and settlement of the large Indian reservations within the Ter- Navajo reservation in Northeastern Ari- zona, and the Government construction of reservoirs for water storage for irrigation in suitable localities, with canals leading to lands allotted to the Indians. The largely utilized, help to make farmers of the Indi- ans. He declares that further mainten- ance of the tribal relations as now con- ducted and the retention of reservation agencies around which the Indians clus- ter and live in idleness on Government rations seriously retard the civilization of the Indians. ‘ A number of localities in the Territory are dissatisfied with the census returns, and the Government alleges that the greatest injustice was done to Phoenix, th in fixing its population at 5544 only. 'Its registration for the city election last May, he claims, indicated a population this year of at least 10,000. He attributes the discrepancy in the figures to enumeration in the summer, when the people were at summer resorts, and to careless work of enumerators. He says would sources the population of the Territory is now at least 135,000, against the census returns of 122,012, ‘Within the last decade 545 miles of canal have been constructed at a cost of $1,308,- 469, and irrigated land has increased 119,5% acres. ——————ee Steel Plate Factory in Japan. TACOMA, Wash.,, Nov. 10—The Jap- anese naval department is preparing ? establish a steel-plate factory at Kure at a cost of 6,000.000 yen, Last year the lower house of the Diet refused to make an ap- propriation for this purpose, but the naval degartment has now obtained funds from other sources. The plant will be in work- ing order in three years. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, COALING DEPOTS | RUMO IN EVERY ZONE American Vessels Need Use No Foreign Fuel. —_— Stations So Located That Our Oruisers May Circumnavi- gate the Globe. ———— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET N.W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Coaling sta- tions and coal supplies have been estab- lished by Rear Admiral Bradford, chlef of bureau of equipment of the Navy De- partment, to such an extent tnat a vessel of the United States navy could steam around the world and use nothing but American owned coal. In time of war it Would not be possible for an American warship {o obtain coal belonging to this | Government at Buropean ports because of the necessity of the observance of neu- trality by the Kuropean nations, and be- cause of the jealousy of Europe to the presence of American vessels. ecause of that condition no action will be taken by this Government looking to the acquisition of coaling station sites in Europe, but Rear Admiral Bradford has carefully formed plans for the estabiishment of coaling stations on the South American Continent, and, when they are established, an American warship will have no difii- culty in obtaining fuel in all parts of the world save Europe. In his annual report just made public, Rear Admiral Bradford says: “As the department is aware, efforts are being made to establish other naval coal depots at important localities, which it is deemed unwise to discuss in a report of a public character.” Millions Paid for Coal. A striking illustration of the growth of the American navy is presented in the single statement in the report of Rear Ad- miral Bradford that he spent $2,273,111 last fiscal year for 324,108 tons of coal at an average cost of $701 per ton. The report says that this was nearly 9,713 more tons of coal than was used during the preced- ing fiscal year. Ten years ago the coal consumption was 73,000 tons per annum. Admiral Bradford has scattered Ameri- can coal all over the world, wherever suit- able storage could be found. He has placed 12,000 tons at Yokohama and 5,000 at Pichilique, Mexico, and he has sent large quantities to Guam and to the Phil- ippines. He carried 9000 tons by water from the Atlantic Coast to Mare Island, Cal., where it came into competition with English Cardiff coal. They have averaged the same in cost, viz.: $929 per ton, but at present, owing to the scarcity of Amer- jcan freight vessels, the best Cardiff coal is considerably cheaper at Mare Island. It is recommended that two large steam 10,000 ton colliers be built to keep depots supplied in time of peace and to accom- pany the fleets in time of war. Summarizing the work accomplished at varijous coaling stations during the year the report takes up Cavite and says that the bureau is about to open bids for a 45,000 ton coaling station there. Efforts have been made to obtain a site for a coaling station at Cebu, but thus far with- out success. Coaling stations have been located at Port Isabella and at Polloo, Mindanao. A complete station has been established at Yokohama, Japan, and it is now fully stocked with coal. Cable Surveys Are Completed. Admiral Bradford says very little about his favorite project in a trans-Pacific sub- marine telegraph cable, contenting himself with the statement that the bureau is now in possession of all data required, so far as suryeys are concerned, to lay this cable. In the same connection he renews his recommendation for a careful exam- ination of the Pacific Ocean, west of the Hawalian Islands, to locdte dangers to pavigation. He recommends that addi- tional hydrographic offices be established at Manila and at Pensacola, Fla. The report says that the subject of wireless telegraphy has been followed carefully during the year, but it does not appear advisable to adopt any particular system at present, or to acquire any more apparatus than necessary for purposes of instruction. It is clear that no system has as yet passed beyond the experimental stage. L e e e ) RAIN DELIGHTS THE FARMERS Storm in Many Sections Brings Manifold Benefits. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10.—The rain which was threatening all day yesterday com- menced falling this morning at 5 o’clock and kept coming in showers all day long. The total precipitation amounted to .37 of an inch, making .67 for the season. Re- ports from the country show that the rain was general but not heavy. It extended as far south on the peninsula as Ensen- ada. There was no damage done to hay and grain and raisins are all housed. An- other rain of about double the fall would start plows going all over the county. Orchards are vastly improved, at least in appearance, by the showers. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.—Rain began falling at Los Angeles about 2 a. m, to- day and showers fell at intervals from that time until 2 p. m., when the weather cleared somewhat. To-night it is cool and partly cloudy, with wind Indications that the rain is over for the present. The total rainfall for the storm was .46 of an inch, making a total for the season of 2.46 inches. The rain was general in this gec- tion. MONTEREY, Nov. 10.—Nearly half an inch of rain fell here last night and ad- vices from outlying districts show the downpour was general and nearly uniform in quantity throughout the district. The farmers are pleased and predict a good year. MERCED, Nov, 10.—This section has been visited by a steady rainfall of twelve hours' duration, the precipitation being over three-fourths of an inch and making the total for the season nearly two inches. A large amount of summer fallow seeding has been done in this county and the&-e,. fin ng ent storm will enable farmers to winter plowing and seeding, besides be! of great benefit to grazing land. WOODLAND, Nov. 10.—There has been sufficlent rainfall to enable Yolo County farmers to seed thelr summer fallowed land and put it in fine condition. Winter plowing will begin soon and the area sown to wheat will probably be as large as usual. The shipment of table grapes to the East closed last week. The crop was good and prices throughout the season have been satisfactory. The wine grape crop while not so large as usual has been very profitable. N MIGUEL, Nov. 10.—The second rain of this season, which began falling last_evening, will prove a great blessing to this section. Since the last storm the green grass has sprung up so that stock of all kinds are doing well. Up to 7 o'clock this morning .29 of an inch of rain has fallen making a total for the season thus far of 117 inches, against 60 of an inch the same date last year. FRESNO, Nov. 10—A heavy rain fell in Fresno this morning, the total pre- cipitation being .53 of an inch. It will not only do good but will cause much improvement in pastures and make pos- lgusu the immediate commencing of plow- ng. Boy Makes Target of Passers-By. DEVIL'S LAKE, N. D., Nov. 10.—The 6-year-old son of Willlam Barber passed the time to-day shooting with a revolver at persons passing his home. Miles Mil- ler, a merchant, was made a target of by the boy, but was missed. Burt Crary, a 12-year-old boy, was shot through the lung and probably fatally wounded. The Barber boy seemed to think he was hav- ing & good time. i 1901. R THAT BRIGANDS HAVE KILLED MISS STONE IS CREDITED IN SOFIA American Consul General Dickinson Reproaches Bulgarian Au- thorities With Having Embarrassed Negotiations and Placed Lives of the Missionary and Her Companion in Jeopardy —eee NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The World has the following from Sofia: There is a persistent rumor here that Ellen M. Stone, the American woman missionary, who, together with her Bible reader, Mrs. Tsilka, has been a captive in the hands of brigands nearly ten weeks, is dead. The American diplomatic agent here, Charles M. Dickinson, who has been tireless in his efforts torescue Miss Stoneand is even now in communication with her captors, is incredulous; yet, many here believe the report because it is known that Yanne Sandansky, the brigand chief, lately threatened to kill her, ransom or no ransom. OFIA, Builgaria, Nov. 10.—Infor- mation has been received here from Doubnitza that the band of brigands holding captive Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, called about a fortnight ago at the village of Smetchevo and subse- quently proceeded to the monastery of Rilo, but the movements of the troops compelled the brigands to flee toward the frontier, where they are now in hiding. It is also asserted that the brigands have recently been treating Miss Stone with more severity, in order to exercise pressure and to compel a more ready ac- ceptance of their conditions. .%MMWWWMHHWWW E) IRELAND'S HOPES GROW BRIGHTER Irish Envoys in Dramatic Speech Tell of Her Noble Aims. BOSTON, Nov. 10.—Ireland’s hopes and aims were told in dramatic language to $000 men and women in Mechanics’ Hall to-night by the Irish envoys, Hon. John P. Rgedmond, Hon. M. A.' McHugh and Hon, Thomas O'Donnell. The gathering was directed by the United Irish League, and the presiding officer was Willlam Lloyd Garrison. His address was well in keeping with the sentiment of the even- ing. He said in part: The element of justice, merving the outraged champions of liberty to heroic deeds, is an ally more potent than ships and regiments in_Khaki. The uprising in South Africa and the Philip- pines, both now extending into years, have baffled short-sighted statesmen who looked for. thelr subsidence in a few weeks. Jreland and South Africa, common victims of English wrongs, are separated by wide seas and the barrier of language. Happily the sturdy burghers of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State are able to speak with Irish lips in the House of Commons with un- compromising effectiveness. It is to the honor and glory of Ireland that in this erisis her representative sons have stood as a bulwark for freedom. Garrison expressed the hope that anti- English demonstrations in this country will be intelligently directed against the real enemy, the autocratic and plutocratic class now holding political control in Enf— land, and that general recognition will be made of that better Englnnd, termed pro-Boer and traitors, typified by John Morley, Frederick Harrison, John Burns, Miss Emily Hobhouse and Dr. Spence ‘Watson. Redmond said he and his colleagues had come to America to proclaim three things: First, the enmity of the Irish race. Second, to explain the policy of the TUnited !rlsh&eugue. Third, to ask for the moral and the ma- terial support of the Irish race in Amer- ica, from their descendants and the Amer- ican people themselves. O'Donnell, in the tourse of his remarks, said that Ireland to-day is an Irish Ire- land, whose sons respect her past, respect and value her products and bar every- thing that comes from England. In con- clusion the speaker said: b ‘We are not cowardly enough to make any statement In this free republic that we would not make in Ireland or in the House of Com- mons. We should be unworthy of freedom did we counsel the submission to intolerable wrongs. We have not come to preach any such doctrines. I appeal to Irish parents in America to do their duty to cultivate an Irish national senti- ment and to instruct their children in the his- tory of our beloved country. McHugh spoke on the bright outlook for the Irish people, and said they must fol- low the policy of Parnell. Rev. Arthur J. Teeling of Linn intro- druced a series of resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, indorsing the plan of the United Irish League as outlined by Redmond, and promising moral and finan- | clal support for the movement. The guests were escorted to the hall from the Bellevue Hotel by seven com- panies of the Ninth Regiment, M. N. G. GIVES RICHES AWAY AND WANTS THEM BACK Court Decides That a Washington Man Has Lost All Title to Property. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 10.—Four years ago Andrew Jackson of Centralia deeded al. his property to Willlam Huen and wife, Mrs. Huen being Jackson's daugh- ter. Jackson had recently lost his wife when_ this happened and believed that “e would not liv. long. He desired his daughter to have everything he pos- sessed and followed up lL.s real estate conveyances by placing in her hands his valuable papers_and other chattels. This summer Jackson came to the con- clusion that he still had a considerable time to live. He met and wooed a hand- scme woman younger than himself ahd set up another establishment. He then applied to his daughter and her husband fo' the property he h2d given them. They did not wish to reconvey it and declined point blank when pressed on the subject. Jackson thought he had a clear case and went into court. The Superior Court has just decided that his real estate conveyances were absolute and the property cannot be re- covered. Another suit has been insti- tuted with the object of regaining pos- session of his former personal property. In return for his gifts Jackson’s relatives ‘were to take care of him during his re- maining days, and they argue that they have always been willing to carry out their part of the agreement. STRIKES RICH ORE WHEN DIGGING A WELL Glenn County Farmer Finds a Gold Mine When Searching for ‘Water. GERMANTOWN, Nov. 10.—That the hills in Western Glenn County contain gold in paying quantities there appears to be no doubt. Last week John Blum- quist decided to dig his well deeper that he might obtain a more abundant supply of water. He had dug but a few feet when he came upon a peculiar quarts formation resembiing lead. Those who saw the rock advised Blum- quist to send it to San Francisco for as- say. He did so, and his returns state that the quartz will run $350 in gold, $1 40 in silver and 70 cents in nickel. Blum- quist has since taken out rock fully twice as rich as that which was assayed. The farm on which this was found is situated in the foothills in the southwestern part of Glenn County in a little valley lying arallel with and between Clark and gtony Creek valleys, near what is known as the Plerson grade. e e . State Secretary to Fight a Duel. HAVANA, Nov. 10.—The papers an- nounced that Senor Tamayo, Secretary of State_and Government, has been 331. lenged to fight a duel by a member of the Union Club whom, it is said, Senor Tam- ayo and a friend assaulted at the close of the recent banquet given by the Cuban Soclety to the visiting Chileans. Senor Tamayo was detained by the police but ultimately released by the Civil Governor. e | Consul General Dickinson is inflexible. He insists that the surrender of Miss Stone must precede, or be simultaneous with, the payment of the ransom. His attitude is justified by the known deter- mination of some of the members of the band, particularly the captain, Yanne Sandsky, to kill Miss Stone and her com- panion as soon as the ransom is received, owing to the fact that the captives have now acquired information concerning the secret committees. Competent persons, the opinion that the cupidity of the brig- ands will overcome their fear of revela- tlons, and all such approve the declara- i tion of Mr. Dickinson. however, express GOES TO PHILIPPINES ON IMPORTANT MISSION Catholic Prelate to Endeavor to Ar- range Agreement Between the Filipinos and Americans. LONDON, Nov. 11.—Referring to the de- parture of Mgr. Sbarretti from Havana and of Mgr. Chapelle from Rome, the correspondent of the Daily Chronicle at the Italian capital says the latter left without having completed his mission of settling -the question of the monasteries in the Philippines and that the Vatican, having decided to continue the status quo, is sending the former ecclesiastic to the Philippines *to endeavor to arrange an agreement betweéen the Filipinos and the American Government.” e Yesterday Mr. Dickinson made energetic representations to the Bulgarian Govern- ment against the movement of the Bulga- rian troops, reproaching the officials with the fact that, notwithstanding their sol- emn promise to give him all assistance in their power, their action was embarrass- ing the negotiations, retarding a settle- ment and placing in jeopardy the life of Miss Stone. He made a definite declara- tion that the Bulgarian Government would be held responsible for the death of Miss Stone, and of all the conse- quences of her death, should it be proved that the attitude of the Bulgarian Government forced the brigands to kill their captives. LARGE DAWSON HOTEL DESTROYED BY FIRE Blaze Baffles Efforts to Check It and Temperature Is Below Zero. SEATTLE, Nov. 10.—The Hotel McDon- ald, the largest building of the kind in Dawson, was burned several days ago, according to a delayed telegraphic dis- patch received here to-night. Firemen made a gallant fight, with the thermo- meter below zero, but could not prevent the loss of $20,000. . The last steamer of the season in or out arrived Wednesday. There will be no mail in again for prob- ably four weeks. [ STADN LOBBY NDING CHINESE Fighting Against Re-en+ eciment of Exclusion Law. Friends of the Measure Have Strong Champion in the President. e Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The Journal has the following from Washington: The President, the Secretary of the Treasury and immigration officials favor the re- enactment of the Chinese exclusion law, which expires on May 5, 192, and not- withstanéing reports inspired by the lob- by already at work in Washington that the law' will be allowed to die the Strong- est reasons exist for believing that the so-called Geary law, or an act framed along the same lines, will be passed at the coming session. Rallroad interests have combined with some manufacturing and mining interests to fight against the re-enactment of the exclusion law, and a powerful lobby is be- ing formed for this purpose. Secretary Gage has denied the statement that he was not in favor of exclusion. Commis- sioner Powderly and other treasury of- {iclala heartily favor the retention of the aw. Labor leaders who have seen President Roosevelt report that he is strongly in favor of the re-enactment of the exclu- sion law. The Immigration Commissioners from the principal ports of the United States will meet at Ellis Island, New York, on the 18th of this month and will recom- mend the.re-enactment of the Geary law.
