He further said that he consid- ered it a compliment that the Boers looked to the United States for aid and sympathy in their struggle, and he con- | sidered it a disgrace that no official ex- sion of sympathy had yet been made y this Government. Mayor Johnson spoke briefly. He said | he was in full sympathy with the intent of the meeting and expressed similar sen- timents to those given by Bryan, saying | the-English people generally were opposed to the war. The resolutions passed will be sent to President Roosevelt. They call attention to the denunciation by President McKin- ley of the system of reconcentration | camps and a quotation from the Man- chester (England) Guardian of September last, which states that a degree of suf- fering and death exists in-these camps without a parallel in history. President Roosevelt is asked to con- tinue the efforts of his predecessor to bring to an end the horrors of concentra- tion camps and a warfare which “by its unexampled ferocity and enormous cost of life and treasure has astonished the civilized world.” He is also asked to en- force the treaty of Washington, May 8, 1871, denying the vesseis operating under British_‘authority opportunity for the augmentation of supplies of war from the United States.

Down the wan and weary unfortunates, some of them maimed and bruised and others nerve-shattered and tottering from the effects of their terrible experience. On the dock wives and children and | mothers and fathers surged around the gangway to embrace their loved ones. The grief-stricken relatives of those who went down to their death in the wreck were there also with the overjayed fami- lies of those who survived. It was a pathetic scene and there were many inci- dents that compelled the flow of tears. Sergeant of Police Mahoney and a platoon of patrolmen were on hand to keep the crowd moving, and as fast as possible carriages were driven up to the gangplank to carry away those who had suffered severe injuries. The Pomona left Eureka Saturday aft- ernoon at 2 o'clock and made the run down in eighteen hours. Outside the Heads the steamer was met by the tug Liberty, with Captain Wallace, A. A. Waters and other members of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, who went out to offer' what aid they could to the sur- vivors. Every little attention was paid them on their arrival. The steamship company had several physicians on haad to_succor the injured. James Robishote, a youth who lives at 1819 Vallejo street, was taken to his home in a serious condition as a result of long exposure and lack of water and food. He was laid out downstairs in the room of one of the officers of the Pomona and the physician who was working over him said that it was not improbable that young Robishote would die. In the next room J. A. Sell, another of the Walla Walla’s passengers, was suf- fering from a deep gash' in his head and probable internal injuries. Mrs, R. F. Edgar, who lives in San Jose, had three ribs crushed during the excite- ment of the scramble for the lifeboats. She was removed to the Lick House by Dr. J. F. Burns, who came up from San Jose to attend her. ‘William Goldsmith, one of the Walla gangplank filed the | 'SURVIVORS OF THE SEA DISASTER RETURN TO THIS CITY ON POMONA ‘Sad Scenes Are ‘Witnessed at the Wharf When the Bruised and Careworn Passengers and Matiners Who Were in the Terrible Ocean Catastrophe Meet «Their Relatives and Friends. TR TR Walla’s firdhen, hobbled down the gang plank on crutches. Both his feet and legs were badly crushed by wreckage after the steamer went down. He was carried under the waves by the -suction and the churning waters threw all sorts of wreckage against his limbs with force enough to injure him seriously. Gold- smith was picked up by several compan- ions and hatled aboard a liferaft, where he went through another terrible ordeal. There were two more unfortunates that were so seriously ill and injured that they could not be removed from Big Lagoon, where they landed Saturday on one of the liferafts. Charles Gleason, believed to be the well-known boxer recently re- turned from Alaska, was one of the two who were not brought down on the Po- mona. It is reported that Gleason has a small chance of recovery, and his com- panion, W. H, Weaver, is also seriousiy injured. . The survivors and the regular passen- gers from Eureka contrasted oddly as they stood on the decks of the Pomona wihen she swung around the end of the dock. Men and women who left the city New Year’s day on the Walla Walla look- ing spick and " span in natty traveling clothes presented-a quecer spectacle in the variegated garments given them to wear temporarily by the generous people of Eureka. No sadder story was there among the returning survivors than that of 'A. E. Kalzeschan, an engineer attached to the revenue cutter Manning. Kaleschan lost his wife while making a landing in the breakers at Big Lagoon. His grief- marked face showed plainly the weight of his sorrow and his fellow-passengers who had done their best to comfort him during the voyage helped him tenderly down the gangplank. The following survivors were brought from Eureka on the Pomona: < C. F. Swan, A, B. Maclellan, Mrs. C. Hastings, Miss Williams, Mrs. R. F. Edgar, J. Miller and wife, J. Robishote, Miss G. A.

MAY MAKE CONCESSIONS TO THE CUBAN PLANTERS Congress Will Make a Reduction in Duties if Certain No Harm Will Result. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—If the new Cu- ban republic will accept a 20 per cent re- duction in the duties on sugar and cer- tain other products and make a similar reduction in her tariff in favor of Amer- fcan products she will get it. That is what the leaders in Congress are willing to give, though the concession might, in a pinch, be enlarged to 2 per cent. The hardest part of the work has been done’ and that was convineing the prominent high-protection members of Congress that the eoncessions can be made without working harm to the in- terests of the citizens of the United States. A reduction of 20 per cent on Cu- ban raw sugar will amount to $7 20 a ton Assuming that the Cuban sugar crop th year will be eight hundred thousand toxs, it would amount to a saving to Cuban planters of $5,760,000. Theydetails of (hs plan for Cuban relief are )‘ez to be work- ed out with 20 per cent as a basis.

Stream‘] Has Occasion to Re- member Bridal Trip. -—— JOYOUS welcome was extended yesterday, on the arrival of the Pomona, to -Mrs. Thomas W. Stream, the young bride whose fortune it was to have her wed- ding journey interrupted by a shipwreck. After she had re- ceived the caresses and greetings of her | mother, sister and brother she was kept busy the remainder of the day explaining | her experience to friends who thronged her mother’s home at 589 Haight street. Her husband, Thomas W. Stream, and his mother returned with her on the Po. mona to this city. Nothing daunted by the disaster the young couple will take | passage to-day on the Umatilla, a sister ship of the Walla Walla, for thelr future home in Tacoma. Mrs. A. F. Stream, mother of the young groom, is wery ill from the Wwhich she endured during the thirty hours she was adrift in the small boat. When she arrived in this city yesterday she was completely exhausted and was forced to_seek her bed. Mrs. T, W. Stream was profuse in her praise of her young husband's bravery during the trying time when the Walla Walla was settling in the water. In speaking of the wreck she said: ‘““When the collision occurred, the crash awoke my husband. He went on deck to see what had happened. He soon returned and told me to dress as quickly as possible. I only had time to put on my skirt, but my husband threw his overcoat about me as we went to his mother’s stateroom to awaken her. “I think that Mrs. Stream and myself were the last women to leave the boat. | During the whole accident my husband acted with the greatest presence of mind. He assisted me, his mother and Miss Pe- ters into the small boat and would not leave the sinking ship until he was sure that all the women had been taken off. ““There were fourteen people in the boat when my husband climbed in. Not more than twenty minutes after _we rowed away from the side of the Walla Walla she disappeared from sight. One of the crew of the Walla Walla assumed charge of our boat and did excéllent work. We called him our captain and my husband was his first officer. “All during the first day we rowed to- ward the Mendocino light, but made very little headway. Strange to say, on the first day no one thought of eating, at least none spoke of it. On the first day we sighted the Dispatch, but could not make her see us. We made a flag out of a red shawl belonging to Miss Peters and used it to signal with, but we could not succeed in attracting the attention of the Dispatch. “During the night we suffered very much from the intense cold and alse from hunger and thirst. We were so hungry that one orange was divided among the fourteen of us. I don’t know of anything that ever tasted so good to me as that little piece of orange. About half past 10 o’clock the next day we were sighted by the Ranger. When we were picked up we were so exhausted from the intense cold, hunger and thirst that we could not stand up. We actually fell when we were taken aboard the Ranger. “The people of Eureka showed us the greatest kindness. They supplied us with whatever we needed. No care was too great nor nothing too good for us. We certainly passed through an experience that I, for one, will never forget.” DIRECTOR GENERAL OF FRANCISCAN MISSIONS Rev.

It is thought that the ma- | jority of the bedies that come | ashore will be washed in somewhere in | the vicinity of Trinidad, about sixty | miles north of the scene of the collision, as‘'a strong current sets in toward the north. This accounts for the fact that | three boats full of survivors, the only ones | that escaped who were not picked up by | the Dispatch, tug Ranger or Nome City, | came to shore at this point. The raft | containing Peter Nil first mate; F. | Lupp, second mate; Brown, fourth third cook, and Herry Erickson, passen- ger. was found by the Nome City, near Trinidad. The people in the southern end of the county are also keeping a look- out. The Centerville beach near Ferndale is being carefully watched. It is evident that some who have been pesing as survivors of the Walla Walla wreck are impostors. Some have given in their names to secure a free trip to Sa | Francisco, while others were probably | looking for notoriety. The number of | those. who landed safely on the shores of this county is 10! | mate; J. Schiel, pantryman; Ed Murrillo, Ot these the Dispatch brought sixty-four and the tug Ranger picked up a boat containing fourteen. | Seven came ashore at Trinidad. At Big Lagoon ten landed safely and at Stons Lagoon the seven sailors beached their boat. The latest list, excluding the six picked up by the Nome Cit jows 18 survivors. This indicates there are im- | postors. The steamship list is not cor- rect. New names are coming to light and ames in the list are found to be incor- t. Two_theatrical men whose names V. J. Fara 3 H. C. Wilson were | sold tickets under the names of Jones and | Brown. Another survivor who gives his | name J. F. Fainlie is not on the sail- | ing list. | The committees from the City Council | and the Chamber of Commerce estimate their expenditures in outfitting the sur- vivors to have been $850. Another $100 was spent in patroling the beach from BEel River to Big Laloon. It s estimated that | $500 more will be needed to patrol the | beaches and bury the dead that come to | even sallors who selfishly occupied at when there re other boats carrying fourteen have met with a flat reception here. There are many who feel very bitter toward them, while others are disposed to give some credit to their story and give them the benefit of the doubt. The members of this party do not tell straightforward stor Their tales are full of contradictions. ADVERTISEMENTS. ‘A PIONEER MERCHANT | Bright's Disease and Diabetes Are Positively Curable.
