HONOLULU, March 19.--Governor Dole | will leave for Washington on the Sierra March 25 in answer to a dispatch received from Senator Carter in Washington stat- | ing that President Roosevelt wants to | consult with the Governor. | The question has arisen in the Supreme | Court here of the power of President Dole | to make appointments to office in Hawail after annexation and before the organic | act took effect. The validity of the action of the two Circult Judges so appointed by him upon taxes in the case of George U. Hind vs. the Wilder Steamship Com- | pany is before the court. Correspondence introduced in\evidence shows that United States Ministér Sewall instructed Presi- dent Dole as representative of the United States that he had power to make such appointments. Walter G. Smith, editor of the Adver- tiser, was found gulity of contempt by the three Judges of the First Clrcuit Court and was sentenced to thirty days in jail on account of the cartoon he pub lished in connection with the case of one McCarthy, charged with assault and bat- tery in the first degree. McCarthy had been put on trial before on a charge of mayhem, and after being found guilty by a jury he was released ! by Judge Gear on a motlon. in arrest.of judgment, based on the fact that the crime of mayhem is not defined at all in the Hawallan statutes. During the pendency of the second trial following an indictment of McCarthy for assault and battery in the first degree the Advertiser published a cartoon supposed 10 have reference to the case. It Tepre- sented Judge Gear in the attitude of blessing a tough-looking citizen who was assaulting a woman, as the defendant was alleged to have assaulted the com- plaining witness, by biting her ear. Be- neath the cartoon were the words sup- posed to have been spoken by Judge Gear, who had released McCarthy on a technicality, “Bite her again,” and_ the court held that as McCarthy had been placed on trial on a new charge, Involving the same state of facts as the former case, the publication of this cartoon was contempt. The cartoon was one of many that have been published purporting to show that the Judges are biased against the prosecution. g The Supreme Court at once issued a writ of habeas corpus, returnable April 21, on which the editor is now at liberty. ‘Attorney George Davis, representing the court as amicus curiae, yesterday at- tacked the habeas corpus writ on the ground that it had been issued by the Chief Justice without the defendant ever having been brought before the court. Under this writ issued by Chief Justice Frear, 8mith is held in bonds to appear April 21. The Circuit Court Judges met this afternoon and- decided that the ‘Su- reme Court writ was void, having been ssued without the defendant being brought before the court. Smith was not present when the Chief Justice heard the matter and granted the writ of habeas COrpus. As the matter row stands the Supreme and Circuit courts are at loggerheads. According to the decision of the three Judges of the Circuit Court the writ is- : =sued by the Chief Justice of the Supreme | Court was void and Smith was set at lib- erty without warrant. On the other hand, the Chiefs Justice sticks to his position in issuing ‘the writ. The Circuit Judges hold that #mith is in contempt, while the Supreme Court has allowed him to go free, and the matter will probably be sub- | mitted to Washington. The transport Warren, which has been delayed here some di on account of a Jost blade of the propeller, left yesterday for Manila. There were many rumors to the effect that she was not in proper con- dition, but her officers denied that she was in any way unfit for sea, and she left, continuing her journey. During the cloudburst in Nuuanu Val- ley yesterday morning 5.51 inches of rain fell in the hour between 11 and 12 o’clock. This is the heaviest downfall ever record- ed here. Nuuanu stream rose from ten o twelve feet in a very short time. There was a good deal of damage to the places along the banks of the stream. During the entire storm, lasting about twelve hours, 1271 inches of rain fell. ] | Rock Island train_struck a at a street in Bast Pueblo this after- noon, killing Mrs. John Clare and her inf>nt son and fatally injurjng Miss es, 21 years. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1902. EDSON FRANKLY MAKES KNOWN DESIRE TO SERVE AS GOVERNOR MEN RAGE DVER SNOWa FOR RIGHES Remarkable Rush, to Thunder Mountain Gold Region. Rival of the Celebrated Klon- dike Discovered in Idahe. Thousands of Prospectors ' Are Re- ported to Be Risking Their Lives in an Effort to Reach the Mines. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOISE, Idaho, March 2.—A rush that in many respects rivals that into theKlon- dike is now on to the Thunder Mountain gold mines in Idaho. Men are going in over the snow at great risk, the goal of gold at the end of their journey beckon- ing them across mountains and through gorges where death may come to them at any moment. Several men have already been killed by snowslides and by being frozen to death in storms after being fost. Strikes of fabulous richness have been reported in the district, both placer and quartz. Large syndicates in the East, principally in Pittsburg, have purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property there. Some indication of the rush may be gleaned from the fact that 3000 Colorado miners are preparing to go into the new gold fields. The action of the smelter trust in curtailing the output of the Colo- rado mines ha= thrown many miners out tof work and taey have turned to Thun- der Mountain, after having sent in rep- resentatives who have made gopd re- | ports. The Oregon Short Line is contemplating an extension of its line into the district. Large parties are coming from other States. It is estimated that fully 25,000 men will be in camp this summer. Those there now are suffering for provisions, but pack trains are being pushed through the snow to them as rapidly as possibie. Flour now commands $0 a sack there. The Dewey mill has been running ail winter with ten stamps, the plates bristling with gold all the time. Machin- | ery for a 100-stamp mill is being made at the Chalmers-Allis Works, Chicago, for that property. Another syndicate intends to put in a 200-stamp mill. Parties leav- ing here now are taking dogs and sledges, adopting the Klondike plan. Boise s al- most_dogless and any sort of canine coin- mands at least $10. GUTHRIE, O. T., March 2.—Great ex- | citement has been caused at Lawton by the unearthing by miners in the Wichita Mountains of an eighty-five pound nug- get, %3 per cent pure gold. It was found in Devils Canyon, the scene of one of the ancient mines of the Spaniards, where many crucibles have been unearthed re- cently. JAPAN EXPECTS SILENT SUPPORT OF AMERICA Thinks This Government Will Back Up the Mikado’s Alliance With Great Britain. SEATTLE;. Mgrch 26.—Count Matsuka- ta, the distinguished Japanese visitor, who reached here last evening on the teamship Kaga Maru, is stopping at the alnier Grand. Sifting the statements made by those surrounding the Count, and digesting the diplomatic statements made by his secretary, it Is found that Japan hopes to see the United States a silent partner in the offensive and defensive al- liance between England and Japan. Sa‘d Mr. Megata, chief of the Bureau of Tax- ation of the Japanese Government: We feel that the United States s with us In #pirit it not in fact in our alliance with Eng- land. Why should it not be s0? We do riot ex- pect the United States to declare openly that | they have espoused the cause of Japan in the | Oriental entanglements of the future, for pos- sibly this might interfere with the Monroe doc- trine, for which I understand you Americans have the greatest respect and love, ~However, the Interests of the United States are similar to and co-extensive with those of Japan in all the perplexing problems that may be presented in the solution of the Eastern question. We hope in this visit to do something to pave the way for a more definite and satisfactory understand- ing of these matters between the two countries, am it SHERIFF TRIES TO BALK WEDDING OF HIS WARD | San Joaquin Official Notifies County Clerks Not to Issue a License.

EDSON of Siskiyou in plain, manly fashion announces that he is a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for Gov- ernor of California. A message wired from Redding last night gives the text of Edson’s letter to his home paper, the Yreka Journal. Following is the an- nouncement: To the Editor of the Yreka Journal—Dear Sir: When 1 was clected, four years ago, to the office of Rallroad Commissioner, after a resi- dence of thirty-nine years in the State of fornia, I unaertook to perform the duties of that office without any design on future politi- cal preferment. Since that election it has fre- quently been suggested to me by warm friends that there was no reason why I should not aspire to serve the people of this State in more important capacities, but belleving that these suggestions were due more to the Kind- | ness of friendship than #.a knowledge of polit- jcal probabilities 1 have not untll recently given them very serjous thought. Recent happen- ings, however, ‘convince me that the desire that 1 should serve the pedple of this State in a high official. position i founded upon some- thing more widespread than the Kindly ap- preciation of my friends. Communications o humerous that I cannot possibly reply to them individually are being recelved by me urging me to allow myself to be placed in nomina- tion for the Governorship at the meeting of the Republican State convention. These com- munications, from friendd and from strangers, from representative citizens of all parts of this State, . lead me to the conelusion that I may sclieit from the people of this State this dis- tinguishled honor. In conformity, therefore, with precedent and custom, I desire to an- nounce in the columns of my home paper that I shall go before the Republican State con- vention as a candidate’ for nomination to the office of Governor of the State of California. Yours very_truly, E. EDSON. Gazelle, Cal., March 24, 1002. E. B, Edson is rated as one of the most successful farmers. in Northern Cali- fornia. He is a man of ample fortune.

The Roosevelt Republican Club of the Forty-second Assembly District, George R. Wells, president, comes out squarely against bossism and the henchmen of bosses. The club has adopted a resolution asking the Republican County Committee to instruct the chairman to appoint a “good” Republican to represent the dis- trict as committeeman-at-large instead of Andrew Louderback, who is character- ized as a ‘“‘notorious henchman of the cor- rupt bosses.” 1n the State League convention of Re- publican_Clubs at San Jose, April 14 and P e Roosevelt Club. o¢. the Forty- second District will be represented by W.

Army and-Navy Leaguers Change Camp Name NE of the machine gang, in speaking of the prospects of Gage's renomination, recently re- marked: “If Johnny Mackenzie fails to win out in the San Jose municipal elec- tion in May, it will be all oft with Gage.” San Jose is regarded as the stronghold of the bosses. The State patronage has been freely used during the past two years to strengthen the machine in that city. More than a year ago the bosses began to throw out hints that the spring election of San Jose in 1902 would be a test of Gage's strength. There is now a feeling of apprehension in the boss camp that Mackenzie is over-confident, hence the remark: *If Johnny loses, it will be all off with Gage.” The success of the Mackenzie organiza- tion in the May election at San Jose will not place Santa Ciara County in the Gage column. The real battle for supremacy will take place in August next, delegates to the State convention must be chosen. Moreover, the districts of Santa lara County which are not embraced in the corporate limits of San Jose will have a voice in the selection of the county dele- gates to the Republican State convention. Stronghold of the Gang. If Mackenzie should lose in the May election, the county would be readily placed in the anti-boss: column, as the city of San Jose is the acknowledged stronghold of the gang. If Mackenzie shouid win by only a slender margin, the county would be placed in the doubtful It is a_fact of some political signi- ficance that San Jose and Vallejo are the only cities of the State that hold munici- pal elections in the spring of each even- numbered year. San Francisco, Sacra- mento, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Stock- ton, Berkeley, Eureka, Fresno, Oakland, Napa and Pasadena elect in odd-num- bered years. The Los Angeles municipal election is held in December of each even- numbered year. | The bosses early in the campaign saw the opportunity of making the San Jose municipal election of 1802 a “Gage straw,” and so began the work of strengthening the machine in that city. If the machine should lose in the prelim- inary skirmish, Gage would be dropped out of the redkoning, because the State administration has put forward its ut- most strength to fasten boss rule on that | town. A Campaign Straw. Before the late General W. H. Sea- mans was appointed to the office of State adjutant generalhe was the commander- in-chief of the Army and Navy Republi- can League of California. He and his associates desiring to compliment the Governor_christened the Redlands organ- ization “Gage Camp No. 23.” A few days ago an official letter went from the head- quarters of the league in San Francisco, addressed to the comrades of the Gage Camp, Army League, Redlands. The communication contained a request that the camp should elect delegates to the convention of Re- publican Clubs in San Jose. Post haste came back a reply that there was no Gage Camp in Redlands, as there were no Gage men in that locality. The com- mander-in-chief of the league was duly notified that the name “Gage” would henceforth be tabooed. He was advised to address future communications to “Redlands Camp, Army and Navy Re- publican League,’ © -l el ettt b e e @ BULLOCK DIES FOR IS CRINE Law Avenges the Mur- der of Young Leon Staiton. Special Dispatch to The Call. FORT SASKATCHEWAN, N. W. T, March 26.—Charles Bullock was hangedi Leon | Stalton in the Battle River country last | here to-day for the murder of April. The prisoner had been convicted on purely circumstantial evidence. The case was remarkable in many ways, and shows the efficiency of the Northwest mounted police. Victim and murderer, were Americans, but casual visitors to the King's domains. When the crime was discovered, weeks after 1t took place, the officers had but a slender clew to work upon. Thousands of dollars were spent in running down the murderer, Canadian officers spending weeks in the United States to follow clews. At the trfal, which took place at Calgary, Alberta, last month, witnesses were present from Michigan, Wyoming, Montana and Canada. The Crown prose- cutor link by link forged the chain about the neck of the accused until it was com- plete down to the smallest detall. The his. tory of the crlme&ollow!: Leon Stalton left his home at Kalama- zoo, Mich., to take a position with the Union Pacific at Aspen, Wyo. There he met Bullock, who also was from Michi- snn. and they became chums. Bullock in- uced Staiton to accompany him to Can- ada, Bullock's parents having a farm in the Battle River district of Alberta. When they left Aspen Bullock had $42 and Stalton, then 19 years old, had $220. They were traced from Aspen 'to Great Falls, Mont., thence to Lethbridge and Calgary, N. W. T, where two tickets were pur- chased for Ponoka, twenty miles from the farm of Bullock's parents. Bullock arrived alone at the farm with plenty of money and gave his father $55. e remained three days and then left, saying he was going to the coast. In- stead he went to Montana and changed his name. Two months later a body was found alf-buried near the Bullock farm. Cor- poral Hetherington of the ~Northwest mounted’ police was put on the case, and eight months later arrested Bullock. The first clew was a tallor's name on the clothing of the dead man, showing that the suit was bought at Kalamazoo. Cor- respondence with the police of that city and with Canadian authorities brought out the fact that Staiton’s parents were looking for their boy, from whom they had not heard. Then Staiton’s father was brought out here and identified the body of his son. From the railroads and othe; sources it was learned that Bullock an Staiton had arrived together. An auto- harp which Staiton was known to have owned was found at the Bullock farm. From letters Stalton's parents had it was learned that the youth had been at Aspen. His companionship there with Bullock was brought out. Then began the search for BuMock. Early this year Hetherington became con- vinced his' man was at or near Great Falls, Mont.

His counsel based most of his argument on the con- tention that the remains had not been positively identified as those of Stralton. Perkins’ Gift to Oroville.

The cough and the sneeze and the nasal ‘twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic ca- tarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than .sual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat, Then follows sensitiveness of the alr passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling In the head, and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop- erly used never falls to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

One day last week Constable Johnson of Davisville brought to the County Jail a man whom he had found wandering about aimlessly. Papers were found which indicated that the man’s name was John Wege. These pers established the fact that John Rioge enlisted in Company F, Sixteenth Infantry, at Piqua, Ohio,.in’ February, 1899; that he served three years in the Phiitppines and was honorably discharged on the 5th of March, 1902; that he re-en- listed on March 15, 1902, in Company I, Twentieth Infantry. They further showed: that Wege had first been promoted to the rank of corporal and afterward to ser- geant major. . Wege received $203 in pay When discharged, but did not have a cent on his person when found. To-day the %riqancr suddenly recovered his reason. e remembered that Com- pany I, Twentieth Infantry, in which he enlisted after his honorable discharge on | March 15, left Francisco for ll‘oni Sheridan, Tllinois, on March 17. Wege was | detailed to help load the baggage. He felt unwell and told one of his comrades he would report to the hospital. He was dissuaded from doing this lest his supe- riors might think he was trying to shirk ‘work. He has no recollection of anything that occurred after the baggage was load- ed until he regained consclousness in the County Jail. Under Sherift Brown to-day sent a tele- gram to Captain Morrison making in- S e abonia be! sses ‘ollowing reply: ‘‘Wege joul sen! to Fort sherrdux if abls therwise to the Presidio, San Francisc Brown will communicate with the mill- ta authorities at the Presidio taking further steps. — i Interprets Inheritance Tax Law.
