Berry of Ar-| kansas, Bacon of Georgia and Pettus of Aiabama insisted that the Senate should | demand the retention of the tax.

Emery, sentenced last week to serve ten years in Walla Walla Penitentiary, has been positively recognized as Peter Per- ley Lowe, son of former Governor Lowe of Iowa, His home is in Keokuk. Emery has become one of the most notoricus burglars on the Pacific Coast. He has served four terms in prison, two in San Quentin, Cal, one in Oregon and one in Walla Walla.

He went to China as captain’s clerk, but lost his position and returned to San Francisco, where his career of crime began. He married and his wife is_now confined in an insane asylum. Durlng one term in San Quentin, Lowe obtained the position of warden's clerk recelving a good salary. As soon as re leased he resumed his career as a burg- lar. Lowe related to ex-Chief Hoge in- cidents of his association with Con Har- vey, the notorlous confidence man, who 80 far as known, has never been convici. At college Lowe had the reputation of beirg a most intractable student, though always standing at the head of his class.

Hunt- ington, the new owners of the Colorado line are George Crocker of San Francisco and E. C, Hawley, until recently general manager of the Southern Pacific Com- pany's Atlantic system. The purchase of the Colorado Southern was made entirely on private account, the stock having been obtained in open market. Those in a position to know say | that the Huntington-Crocker-Hawley syn- | dicate will await its opportuntiy to dis- | pose of the Colorado road to the highest | cash bidder. The line is a profitable feed- | er and is expected to be acquired before long by one 3f the large transcontinental railways, either the Gould system, the | Union Pacific or the Santa Fe. 1 Vice President Paul Martin of the | Santa Fe, who has assisted in engineering | the Colorado Southern deal, departed yes- | terday for the East. | Henry E. Huntington to-day declined to | admit any interest in the alleged new | purchase.” The Colorado Southern is oper- | ated from Denver to Fort Worth, Tex.

C., April 7.—Captain J. E. Bernier of Quebec, who for a year has been planning an expedition to reach the north pole, is expected to arrive in Vancouver in two weeks to make arrange- ments for the construction of a ship for the northern cruise.

Governor’s Supporters in His Home City Are Badly Routed. ake Extraordinary Efforts to Carry the Day, but the San Benito Senator Has a Large Majority. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 7.—The Union League Republican Club met to-night and re-elected the old board of directors. The following were the successful candidates: R. N. Bulla, L. C. Gates, G. M. Giffin, Henry Henderson, Thomas Hughes, A. ‘W. Kinney, C. J. Kubach, Byron L. Oliver and R. D. Wade. The contest was a clean-cut struggle between the forces of Governor Gage and Senator Flint. For a long time the men in control of the Union League have been strong in their opposition to the renom- ination of Governor Gage, and Senator | Flint while on his trips to Los Angeles has been the recipient of many courtesies So strong have the Flint forces felt themselves In the club that the assertion was recently made by one of the leaders: that "% per cent of the Union League is for Flint.” Realizing the far-reaching effect a defeat in the leading Republican club of his home city would have, the supporters of Gage made extraordinary efforts to carry the election, but without avail. Flint's majority was in the ratio of about four to_three. The contest was actively waged and the count was watched with the utmost in- terest. After the votes had been counted Luther Brown, who was watching the in- terests of the Gage adherents, mounted a chair and made an address, asking for harmony in the party no matter which candidate won. BRITISH ATROCITIES. General Delarey Makes Some Serious Accusations. AMSTERDAM, April 7.—The Boer Bu- reau here has published a report which was sent last January by General De- larey to Kruger, and which is counter- signed by Ignatius Ferraria, the acting state attorney.
