WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Representa- tive Crumpacker of Indiana is passing a petition for the calling of a Republican caucus to define some plan of action on the question of the alleged overrepre- sentation in the South. He sald to-day that many of his party were signing and | he had no doubt that two-thirds of the Republicans were in favor of defining some policy. The caucus, if called, will determine two things: First—Whether the reduction of the Southern representation is to be made a Republican policy. Second—What means shall be adopted to reach the desired end in the quickest and easiest manner. Representative Crumpacker is one of the original movers of the proposition to reduce the Southern representation and is working in harmony with Representa- tive Moody of Massachuserts, who pre- | sented a resolution challenging the Louis- iana delegation. e —— TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYE COLLIDES WITH A STEAMER LONDON, Dec. 5.—Another accident to a British torpedo boat destroyer, fortu- nztely without loss of life, has just been acded to the long series of such accidents suffered by the British navy during the past few months.

DDGES KWARD POULTRY PRIZES | Chicken Breeders From All Over State At- tend Show. ! 1 i Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 5. | The poultry show at the Exposition | building continues to attract large | crowds, and among those that attended | to-day were bird and dog breeders from iall over the State. The collection of high-born domestic fowls is the largest and best ever got to- gether on the coast. Poultry raisers in jarge numbers are attending the show for the purpose of studying the artificial hatcheries which are on exhibition in great variety and in every stage of op- | eration. Five disconsolate Belgian hares, survi- vors of a short-lived but famous fad, with rare consideration for the feelings of the many victims of their one-time popularity, have been given a place in an out of the way corner of the Exposition building. The hares seem to realize that they are out of tune with the times and an air of gloom surrounds their quarters. The judges of the poultry and pigeons have almost completed their work.

Dec. 5.—Continual brood- ing over the horrors of the Downey tragedy on the part of Willlam Bennett of Buena Pirk brought on a case of mo- nomania, which led to his suicide on Tuesday night. Bennett imagined that he had perpe- trated the dastardly deed and that he was being hunted to his death by the po- lice, until in a fit of desperation he took his own life by shooting himself in the head. ‘Willlam Bennett was an aged man and had lived in and about Buena Park for a number of vears. KILLING AT WALNUT GROVE REOPENS HIGHBINDER WAR Hip Yings E;;h to Various Points on Coast Messages to Slay. Another life was sacrificed yesterday in ‘the highbinder war, which opened with a carnival of blood in Chinatown on Thanksgiving night. Ah Mew, a member of the Hip Ying Tong, was shot and killed by Ping Kong Tong men at Walnut Grove, Sacramento County, shortly be- fore the noon hour. The death of Mew is the signal for the extension of the war at all places on the coast where men of the warring factions abide. The Ping Kong ‘Tong is helplessly weak in this city. With the members of the Four Families and the Hip Ying Tong to combat_they are handicapped by heavy odds. - Wednesday they held a meeting and resolved to do their bloody work in localities where their adversaries were in the minority and the first man to suffer the sting of their bullets was Ah Mew in Walnut Grove. ‘When the report of the murder reached the headquarters of the Hip Yings last night they immediutely dispatched word to many places on the coast, ordering its highbinders to slay Ping Kong Tong men and raising the.prices that have been placed on the heads of members of that tong in this citv. When the police heard of the condition of affairs they remewed their efforts to prevent bloodshed. The Four Families became divided on the subject of the war at a meeting held in Waverly place last night. The Jueng and Quong families detided that the; have had sufficient satisfaction and wiil leave the continuation of their end of the struggle to the Low and Jue families. —————— Tobles Convicted of Manslaughter.

Robles put in a plea of self-defense. EARLY REPORT ON GARAL BILL Senate Committee Dis- posed to Act on Mor- gan’s Measure. Full Text of the Hay-Paunce- fote Treaty Is Given to the People. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—The Senate Committee on Isthmian Canal to-day en- gaged in a general discussion of the Nica- ragua canal bill which was introduced by Senator Morgan, but adjourned with- out action because of the absence of Sen- ator Hanna. The disposition of the com- mittee is to report the bill at an early date, although it is not expected that ac- tion will be taken on it by the Senate prior to the disposition of the new canal treaty with Great Britain. The commit- tee is also disposed to act first on the bill as introduced by Senator Morgan, providing only for the acquisition of right of way, leaving the details of legislation for the conmstruction of the waterway to the future. { New Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. | The new Hay-Pauncefote treaty, pro- | viding for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Nicaragua, as sent to the Senate, is as follows: The United States of America and his Maj- esty, BEdward the Seventh, of the United King- dom’ of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British dominions beyond the seas, King and Emperor of India, being desirous to facilitate the construction of a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, by whatever route may be considered expedient, and. to that end to remove any objection which may arise out of the treaty of April, 1850, commonly called | the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the construction of such canal under the auspices of the Gov- ernment of the United States without impair- ing “‘the general principle” of neutralization established in article VIII of that convention, have for the purpose appointed as their plen- ipotentiaries: The President of the United States, John Hay, Secretary of State of the | Unfted States of America, and his Majesty, Edward VII of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and of Ireland und_of the British | dominions beyond the seas, King and Emperor of India, the Right Hon. Lord Pauncefote, G.C.B., G.C.M.G., his Majesty’s Embassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, who, having communicated to each other their fuil powers, which were meant to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles: Article I—The high contracting parties agree that the present treaty shall supersede the aforementioned convention of the 19th of April, Article 1I-It is agreed that the canal may be constructed under the auspices of the Gov- ernment of the United States, either directly at its own cost or by gift or by loan of money to individuals or corporations or through sub- scription to or purchase of stock or shares, and that, subject to the provisions of the pres- ent treaty the said Government shall have and enjoy all the rights incident to such construc- tion, as well as the exclusive right of providing for ‘the regulation and management of the 1. “%ATticle ITI—The United States adopts as the basis of the neutralization of such canal the following rules substantially as embodied in the convention of Constantinople, signed the 28th_of October, 1888, for the free navigation of the Suez canal, that is to say: Open to All Vessels. 1. The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all na- tions observing these rules, on terms of en- tire equality so that there shall be no dis- criminating against any such nation or its citizens or subjects, in respect of the condi- fions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such conditions and charges of traffic shall be just and equitable. 2. The canal shall never be blockaded nor shall any right of war be exercised nor any act of hostility be committed within it. The United States, however, shall be at liberty to maintain such military police along the canal as may be necessary to protect it against law- lessness and disorder. 3. Vessels of war of a belligerent shall not revictual nor take any stores in the canal ex- cept so far as may be strictly necessary; and the transit of such vessels through the canal shall be effected with the least possible delay in accordance with the regulations in force. and with qnly such intermission as may re- sult from the necessities of the service. Prizes shall be in all cases subject to the same rules as vessels of war of the belligerents. 2 4. No belligerent shall embark or disembari troops, munitions of war or warlike materials “in the canal except in case of accidental hin- drance of the transit, and in such case the transit shall be resumed with all possible dis- patch. 5. The provisions of this article shall apply to waters adjacent to the canal within three marine miles of each end.

NAVY REQUIRES MORE OFFICERS Captain Sigsbee Shows Urgent Necessity of an Increase. —— Desires to Prepare the De= partment for a Possible Emergency. R AR CALL BUREAU, 406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—Captalm Sigsbee, chief intelligence officer of the navy, has significantly compared the per- sonnel of the American service with that of Germany in order to show the neces- sity of an increase of American naval officers. Captain Sigsbee’s comparison'is made in an official report to Rear Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation, and has cecasioned not a lit= tle comment among the officers, who un- derstand the department’'s desire to be prepared for any emergency which may be precipitated by German eagerness-to establish coaling stations in the western hemisphere. Captain Sigsbee says that Germany ‘“‘provides for a systematic in- crease in her naval personnel commensu~ rate with the inc e in material, which will result in fully providing the German fleet with educated and trained line offi- cers in the event of hostilities.” Captain Sigsbee presents a table which shows that the German navy has already 341 more officers, trained and under train- ing to perform line and engineer dutles, than the United States and that this dis- crepancy is increasing at the rate of 179 per year. “The grades in which we are weakest,” he continues, “are those, of lieutenant, lieutenant junior grade, and ensign. Germany is stronger by. 132, and while we have but 126 naval cadets who could be commissioned in an emergency, Germany has 426, an advantage of 300. In addition to her preponderance of 133 lieutenants and ensigns for line duty, Ger- many has 167 in those grades for engineer duty, which increases the weight against us to 299, as in our service the line in- cludes both duties. It is respectfully sug- gested that the bureau’s recommendation to the department that the persommel ba increased in regular ratio with the in- crease of material is the only logical sys- tem and that the longer the necessities of the service are evaded more radical and costly must be the remedy when it Is at last forced upon the country.” CAKLAND OFFICIAL SUCCUMBS TO APOPLEXY George H. Carleton, Superintendent of Fire and Police Telegraph System, Dies Suddenly. Oakiand Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 5. George H. Carleton, for twenty-five years superintendent of the fire and po- lice telegraph alarm department of Oak~ land and a resident of this city for nearly ralf a century, passed away at 4 o’clock this afternoon at his residence, 541 Nine- teenth street, having been stricken with apoplexy shortly after noon yi . Mr. Carleton was taken suddenly ill al- most immediately after his noonday meal. The stroke paralyzed the left side. The physicians who were called offered from the outset bare hope for recovery. The patient’s physique was against him, for he was very large and portly, a striking fl‘gur? for many years on Oalfland’s streets. The announcement of the unexpected death of the well-known pioneer was a startling shock to hundreds of citizens who had been the companions for many years of Mr. Carleton. His life was in- delibly connected with the growth of Oak- land. He established and develo the present excellent police and fire telephone system of the city, the service bei Tec- ognized as one of the most thorough and complete in the United States. For a | quarter of a century it had been his pe- culiar hobby and all of his efforts were centered in’ perfecting the department. He also had supervision and control over the electric lighting of the city, and the excellent system he devised, with the co- | operation of John A. Britton of the Oak- | land Gas Light and Heat Company, is ons of the best monuments to his marked fdelity to duty. | —_—————————— | NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—To-day’s session of the Society of Mechanical Engineers was devoted | to reading papers on scientific subjects. | !
