With reference to the indemnity, Baron von Richthofen remarked that it required 460,000,000 taels to satisfy the ‘claims, in- tead of 450,000, which China had agreed to pay, and the powers were ne- gotiating in regard to the apportionment of this deficlency.

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 18.—From present indications the case of Joe Harvey, the poolroom owner, against Adolph Sylva, the ex-boss of Sausalito, will prove inter- esting when ventilated in the ' courts. Originally there were two suits filed by Harvey. The first was against Florence Sylva et al. for a one-half interest in the Sausalito Electric Light Company, which | Harvey avers he authorized Sylva to pur- chase for him in the name of a friend, Thomas Frost, and in payment for which he gave $#000. Harvey avers that Sylva { bought the property, paying $3500 25 for it, in the name of Frost. After the sale, it is said, Sylva went to Frost and pre- sented a deed, ostensibly for the transfer of the property from Frost to Harve but in reality a deed to Florence Sylva, a sister of Adolph. Frost signed the docu- ment without reading it. The second suit was against Adolph Sylva for $499 75, the balance alleged to be due from the $4000. To the first suit Florence Sylva makes answer that no sum of money was ever loaned to her by Joe Harvey and that the money paid for the half interest in the | electric light company was given by her | to her brother. All other allegations are | denied in toto. | As an answer to the second and smalier | suit Adolph Sylva denies that he owes any amount to Joe Harvey. He flles a cross-complaint against Harvey, wherein | he admits having received $4000 from Har- rey, but avers that this amount was part i * & ent on $20000 loaned to Harvey by i i subsequent to May 1. 1901, Sylva ; FAMOUS PHYSICIAN AND | | prays for judgment for $16,000, alleged to SURGEON WHO DIED 1x | | be due him as the balance of the loan.

SEATTLE, Feb. 18—On the steamer Dolphin from Alaska to-day came a tale of Indian superstition and cruelty that to civilized humanity is shocking. Because a dozen natives had died from consump- tion an Indian boy who had become con- verted to the Christian faith was buried alive. For hours he lay in the grave un til he was unearthed by the missionary under whom he had learned the tenets of Christianity. When resurrected he was alive, but that was all. He was taken to Wells and placed under the care of a phy. siefan and at last accounts was rapidly ring. re’f‘?l:eyofith is the interpreter for Rev. Milo A.

KNOWLAND of Alameda deliv- ered an interesting lecture before a large audience at Plymouth Congregational Church on Post street, near Webster, last night on the subject, ‘‘California’s Historic Land- marks.” The lecture was given for a double purpose, namely for the benefit of the Plymouth Christian Endeavor Saciety and In the interest of the movement now under way which has for its object the | renabilitation and preservation of the historic buildings which figured so promi- | nently in the early history of the State. In opening thie lecture, which was ilius- | trated by nearly 100 pictures of the build- | ings and otner objects reterred to by tne | speaker, Knowland said he had been uc- tuated Dy a patriotic desire as a Califor- man to do his share toward awakening the people of the State lo a realization ot the need of acting speedily if tney would preserve from accay and protect from vandalism the few remaining but rapidly ldlsflppenrlng landmarks so closely asso- natea and identified with the stirring events of pioneer days. Reterring to those brave and indomita- ble rranciscan fathers who sowed the first seeds of civilization and established the first permanent settlements in Alta | California, ‘the lecturer sald that it was a disgrace to the State and a humiliation to every citizen that the missions which | speak so eloquently of the trials of the missionaries should be allowed to fall into ruins. Of the twenty-one missions es- | tablished from the time when the pilgrim- {age of Junipero Serra began until the { American occupation only two are in a | fair state of preservation. The speaker | paid a glowing tribute to the sublime work of the padres and their handiwork | as expressed in the missions extending | from the Sonoma Valley to San Diego | were admirably depicted on the screen. | "The lecturer paid considerable attention | to the ruins of the Russian settlement at | Fort Ross, which was established in 1812. | The octagonal towers of the fort are still { excellently - preserved and the old build- ings offer varied attractions to tourists. It was pointed out as a significant fact that had the Russian Government insist- ed upon its rights at the time of the evacuation of the fort by the Russians in 1842 the entire history of the Stule might have been changed. In quick succession the scene of the Donner party disaster in_the Sierras, the old Custom-house at Monterey, where Commodore Sloat unfurled *the stars and scrjpes for the first time in California on July 7, 1846; Sutter’s mill on American River, where Marshall discovered gold on | January 24, 1843, were shown and de- scribed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Colonel O. H. Ernst of the Isthmian Canal Commission was before the Committee on Interoceanic {"Canals of the Senate to-day. In a preliminary statement he said the | cuts on the Darien route before the tun- nel was reached made that route imprac- ticable. While it has not been examined carefully, he thought it would take twen- ty years to construct such a canal, and at a cost of $290,000,000. As a member of the commission he was | assigned to the Panama route particu- | 1arly, but went over the Nicaragua route. In answer to questions by Senator Hanna he said he would have recommended the Panama route in the first report of the commission had the offer of the Panama Canal Company to sell for §40,000,000 been made at that time, and for the following reasons: The Panama route was shorter, straighter, lower, having four locks as against eight for Nicaragua, and wowd cost $1,350,000 less per year to maintain and operate. Colonel Ernst said there were difficulties in both routes. The Bohio dam gn the Panama route was more difficult than tha Concuda dam on the Nicaragua route, but the clay banks on the latter route were a difficulty that would have to be overcome. The healthfulness of Nicaragua was bet: ter than Panama, but by sanitary and po- lice regulations the conditions in Panama could be improved. “olonel Ernst did not agree with other nesses that siit in the Chagres River would ever be a serious menace to the Panama canal. The difficuities in the con- struction of the Bohio dam, he said, could be overcome. He said that insurance rates on the Nicaraguan route would be greater than on the Panama route. Senator Morgan asked a serles of ques- | tions regarding the floods and conditions of the Chagres River, on the Panama route. Colonel Ernst sald the water rose 30.3 feet above low water in 1879. In fifty years there had been four floods of over thirty feet. Such floods, he said, would cause considerable risk and contingencies in the construction of the Bohio dam. Po- lice and sanitary control of Panama would be necessary, he said, should the Unit?d States decide to construct the canal. Mutineers Arrive on Sonoma. Among the steerage passengers that ar- rived yesterday on the Sonoma were s'x United States prisoners, members of the crew of the American schooner Alice Mc- Donald. They were in the custody of H. E. Olsen, boatswain of the United States ship Abarenda, and are charged with mutiny on the high seas. With the pris- oners ‘came T. Royal and H. Finlay, first and second officers respectively of the Alice McDonald. The latter are here as witnesses, and with the six prisone.s were yesterday turned over to the United States Marshal for safe custody until the day of trial. The McDonald, bound from Newcastle, Australia, to San Francisco, put into Apia about the 1st of January in 2 leaking condition. She was overladen and short of provislons. Two hundred tons of coal were disposed of and repairs effected. A survey held by order of Vice Consul Blacklock resulted in a report fa- vorable to the vessel. The crew, however, refused to go to sea. Commandant Sebroe took the United States ship Abarenda to Apia, persuaded the recalcitrant seamen to return to,duty and gave the schooner a tow for about eight miles out of Apia The schooner was hardly under way when the McDonald's skipper si«- naled for assistance. The crew still re- fused duty. This constituted mutiny on the high seas. Captain Sebree placed an officer in charge of the schooner, arrested the mutineers and then towed the Mc- Donald to. Pago Pago, where she still awalts a crew. The prisoners who ar- rived yesterday declare that the vessel was unsafe and that in refusing duty they bave probably saved themselves from a watery grave.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—It was agreed by the Senate to-day that a final vote on the Philippine tariff bill and the pending amendments should be taken next Mon- | day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The only stipulation made, by the minority was that the last day’s debate should be de- voted to speeches not exceeding fifteen minutes. Senator Wellington spoké to- day in opposition to the pending bill and Senator Stewdrt of Nevada in support of the measure. * Wellington's address covered the Phil- ippine question generally. his well-known views forcefully. He al- ways had been a Republican, he said, a believer in the system of protection and a supporter of a gold standard of cur- but he had come to the parting of the ways with his party in 1898, when it developed ‘“its imperialistic tendencies.” Stewart made a brief legal and constitu- tional argument. The speech of Wheeler of Kentucky in the House last Friday when he bitterly assailed Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce- fote and criticized the official prepara- tions for the reception of Prince Henry had a sequel in the House to-day during the debates on the Indian appropriation bill. Gillett of Massachusetts, in a half hour's speech, declared that thé intemper- ance of Wheeler's language carried its own condemnation. Nevertheless, he (Gil- lett) grievously deplored such an affront to a foreign country. During the course of the speech two Democrats, Robinson of Indiana and Thayer of Massachusetts, dis- claimed any sympathy with Wheeler's ut- terances. These disclaimers drew from Talbert of South Carolina the statement that he desired to share in the responmsi- bility of the speech, every word of which, he sald, he indorsed. Wheeler himself subsequently replied to Gillett, reaffirm- ing what he had said and declaring that he would abide by his words whether they were discreet or not. Earlier in the session Hill of Connecti- cut and Shafroth of Colorado discussed the former's bill to redeem silver with gold. The Indian bill itself was not touched on in the speech-making.

Brisk Discussion Over a Pro= posed Constitutional ,Change. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The Daughe ters of the American Revolution plunged into the comsideration of proposed com= stitutional amendments at to-day's ses- sion of their convention. The first of these proposed adding to the representa- tion from each State, now consisting of one regent, “four additional representa- tives to be elected at an election confer= ence tq be called by the State regent and to be cdmposed of the chapter regent, vice regent and one delegate from each chap- ter in the State, the conference to be at scme designated place before February 1 of each year.” Miss Janet Richards of this city, who framed the proposed amendment, sub= mitted an amendment to her amendment which brought on a lively discussion. Several delegates in vigorous remarks pointed out that they had had no time to consider the new amendment, whieh changed Miss Richards’ former amend- ment so as to add a regent for each State, | one regent at large and one for every 150 members in the State. A number of mo= | tions were ruled cut of order in rapid succession, and a motion finally was adcpted postponing the amendments sub- mitted on this subject. The report of the committee on reduc- tion of representation in the congress of the Daughters was presented by the chair- man, Mrs. Katharine W. Verplanck, of New York. The subject is one of the most important before the congress. Without | making recommendauém, the committes announced that a malority of twenty-six | State regents favored thapter representa- | tion and a minority favor the ratio rep- ‘resentatlon of one delegate to every 250 members. The voting, according to the report, resultad: For representation by one delegate to the congress to every | in the State, S regents; representation in the congress of each and every chapter by its regent or alternate, irrespective of the size of the chapter, 26 regents. Miss Richards’ amendments were then taken up and a debate on their adoption, limited to five minutes to each speaker, was participated in by a number of the delegates. ~The debate occupied two hours, when Miss Richards announced that she recognized that those who stood with her for the amendments were in a hopeless minority and she would accept defeat gracefully. The chair was_about | to declare a recess, when Mrs. Donaid McLean of New York made a vigorous at- tack on the parliamentary procedure of | t 4 ettt | the president general and insisted that the @ il * teffelivirinibeieiniieiri=li 4 @ | vote on the amendments was next in or- der. Mrs. Fairbanks insisted on the re- cess against a number of protests. Tha Richards amendments were overwhelm- ingly defeated at the afternoon session. MRS.
