Special Dispatch to The Call. AN RAFAEL, July ‘28.—Mrs. James W. Cochrane, the wife of Attorney Cochrane of this city, is the heroine of the hour among San Rafaelites as well as the recipient of much praise from the management of the California Northwestern Railroad Company. Mrs. Cochrane is credited with the saving of the lives of many passengers on the train en route from Ukiah to San Francisco to- day. But for her presence of mind there would have been an awful rail disaster near this ci She stopped a train of coaches just in time to prevent it running into a large tree that had fallen across the track. The train was running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour and had just emerged from a tunnel and started down a steep grade nto San Rafael. The locomotive was brought to a stop only twenty feet from the obstacle across its path. CHILD GIVES WARNING. The Cochrane homestead, which is on East Petaluma avenue, runs back to with- in fifty feet of the California Northwest- ern Rallroad right of way. Mrs. @pch- rane was sitting on the rear porch of her house and her children were playing in the garden. Her little daughter came run- ning to her and told her that there was a log across the track and asked her to go to see it. Mrs. Cochrane did not at once realize the importance of the information, but left the veranda to satisfy her child’s wish. seven passenge {Flags Express as It | Speeds Toward an ‘ Obstruction. - L | lashed upon her. A large eucalyptus tree, | fully 7 feet long and about twelve inches |in diameter, had been uprooted, falling | directly across the track. It was then about 4:30 o'clock. Mrs. Cochrane knew the Ukiah mail train was due to arrive | at the San Rafael station at 5 o'clock. | Hurriedly she sought help to remove the | obstruction. Failing to find any one near | at hand, she rushed into the house to the telephone and called up the station agent at San Rafael. After some delay he an- swered the call. She informed him of tne | impending danger and told him to send | some one immediately to flag the incom- | ing train. | RUNS TO FLAG TRAIN. | The station being about a mile away frem the obstruction on the track, Mrs. Cochrane, knowing it would time for a flagman to | some arrive, sought assistance to lift the tree off the rafls and again failed. The oncoming | train at that time whistled at the en- | trance to the tunnel on the opposite side | of the hill. Mrs. Cochrane re-entered her | house and procured a red'shirt. After | leaving instructions with her child’s nurse | to remain at the tree and tell the station flagman as soon as he arrived, she ran man George Gilbride arrived just two minutes before the train came. Engineer Samuel ‘Lewis answered the signal of danger and stopped his train within twen- ty feet of the tree. Both the engineer and Conductor B. Crane were profuse in their thanks to Mrs. Cochrane and said that had it not been for her they would have been killed and the entire train, with its several hun- dred passengers, ditched. The train was delayed about thirty min- utes while the obstruction was cut away. MAY DEMAND REMOVAL OF MINISTER OF JUSTICE American Officials Displeased With Fitzgerald’s Action in Greene- Gaynor Case. NEW YORK, July 22.—A World special from Washington saj A sensational move In the Greene-Gaynor case is in con- templation by officials charged with the effort to have those fugitives from jus- e returned to the United States. It is nothing less than an indirect effort on the part of this Government to have Charles < | Fitzgerald removed from the office as Minister of Justice of the Dominion of Canada. The objection to Minister Fitz- gerald is that he i=s one of the attorneys for Greene and Gaynor. ‘What worries the American officials is that the statutes of the Dominion make the Minister of Justice a court of last| resort in extradition cases. If the Cana- dwan courts decide that Greene and Gay- nor should be surrendered to the United States the runaway contractors will have fifteen days in which to prepare an ap- peal to Fitzgerald in his capacity as Min- ister of Justice.

It i3 believed that other vessels must have been wrecked in the | gulf during the storm, as a great deal of wreckage has drifted ashore along the i coast A severe storm had béen raging for two days, when on Thursday, July 24, the wind assumed the proportions of a ! hurricane. At Guaymas a heavy cloud hung over the city and the air became oppressive. Toward evening the bay be- came calm and the residents believed the [ storm had abated. STORM BURSTS SUDDENLY. Euddenly, at 9:30 o'clock at night, the | | cyclone burst upon the city. The harbor | of Guaymas is one of the safest on the western ¢ of Mexico, and the fury of the storm can be understood from the number of vessels that were dashed to pi against the piers. | El Luella, a large freighter in the ser- | vice of the,railroad at Guaymas, broke away from her anchorage and was dash. ed against the plers time and time again. | The vessel Is a total wreck.

The municipal authorities have taken steps to have the wreckage cleared away and to restore, as far as possible, the clty to its former condition. | HAVOC AT MAZATLAN. The cyclone struck Mazatlan j#st about | sunset. The steamer Rom Rubio, which lay at anchorage in-the harbor, ed against the shore, where she sank in shallow water. Two members of the crew and three passengers were drowned. The J. Ives Limatour, a vessel belonging to the Compagnie de Transportes, was caught by the cyclone and badly dam- aged, although she succeeded in landing her passengers. Roofs were torn from many of the buildings on the sea front at Mazatlan and a few bulldings in the city were damaged by the storm. Reports from the small towns along the Gulf of California indicate that the storm was general and when complete reports have been received the loss of life no doubt will be found to be greater than at first reported. The Sonora Rallroad is washed out in many places and traffic is blocked. In the interfor the storm wrought damagé on the haciendas and everywhere throughout the State com- merce is injured and blocked by the storm. | Finances in Philippines. WASHINGTON, July 28.—A cable mes- sage was received at the War Department to-day from Acting Governor Wright re- garding the financial situation in the Philippines. Apprenhension was felt by the Hongkong and Shanghal Chartered Bank that since the Guarantee Trust Company and the International Banking Company had established branches in Ma- nila the insular funds heretofore deposited at Hongkong and Shanghai could be with- | drawn from those banks and deposited with the other concerns. In reply to a query Governor Wright cables that he will have the deposits made in each of the four institutions and equally divided. He also says that the provisions of the Philippine act which allows the Govern- ment to fix the ratio every ten days has had a steadying effect on the money sit- uation in the Philippines.

VENICE, July 2.—Rloting in various parts of this city has followed the suc- cess of the Clerical-Moderates in the communal elections. A mob smashed the windows of the Moderate Club on the Piazza Garibaldl and the members of the club retaliated by throwing chairs on the heads of the attacking crowd. Troops and the police intervened and order was restored. A similar outbreak occurred at Padua. { HUNDREDS ARRESTED. PARIS, July 28.-Many persons injured, ten of them seriously, and hundreds ar- rested are the net results of the street disturbances yesterday, in which both Clerical and anti-Clerical demonstrations brought about by the closing of unau- thorized religious schools were made. "There were great crowds on the boule- vards throughcut the evening in expec- tation of further rloting. A large proces- sion of students shouting and singing was dispersed by the police and at- tempted red flag demonstrations at the Strasburg statue also were broken up. Quiet was restored at midnight. The religious establishments in more than fifty departments have voluntarily dissolved without any Intervention by the authorities. HOSTILE TO LOUBET. Francois Coppee, the author, and M. Le . sion of Congress. o Rolle, a Nationalist Deputy, who were ar- rested last week in connection with the anti-Clerical rioting, addressed a great meeting which was held in a riding school in the Rue d'Enghien to-night to protest against the Government's action in the matter of the closing of the un- authorized . Congregationist schools. M. Coppee, in a vigorous denunciation of the Government, made remarks hostile to President Loubet. After receiving an ovation, a counter-demonstration to M. Coppee occurred, but the police were able to maintain order. srmmm DENIES THE CHARGE Says He Was Friendly to the Millers Bill and Favored Its Passage. DUBUQUE, Ia., July 28.—Speaker Hen- derson, in an interview to-day on the re- ports about the National Millers’ griev- ance against him on the ground that he prevented the passage of the London dock bill, said: T had not heard anything of it since Satur- day last, when I first saw an article on the subject. 1 was greatly surprised to see any- thing of the kind from the millers, whose friend T have been all the time, and I tried to et their bill through. I gave them the floor once anid let the bill come up the second time, but members in charge of the medsure wanted It passed over, as they hoped for a compromise between friends and enemies of the bill. This was twice that the bill's friends had an opportunity. Later T proposed asgain to have the biil called up by calling upon the committees, but Mr. Tawney, author of the bill, was absent that day and other friends of the measure were unwilling to have it come up in his absance, so that is thres times that the bill practically had its day in court and for the reasons named failed to be dlsposed of, but in no instance was it any fault of mine. The bill is a just one and ought to pass, and I have no doubt it will pass at the short ses- 1 fear there has been some very thoughtless misrepresentation about this matter,“for it i3 not usual for men to attack their loyal friends. 3 LEADERS UNITE IN ALAMEDA Pardee Joins With Metcalf for Com-= ing Contest. One Out for Governor | and the Other for Congress. Issue a Statement Harmonizing All Factions. Congressman Victor H. Metcalf and Dr. George C. Pardee will unite their forces in Alameda County, the one to make the fight for Congress and the other for Gov- ernor. The contests of bygone days have ended. It has been decided that there will he one set of delegates to the State and | Congressional Republican conventions, |and that this set of delegates shall be | for Victor H. Metcalf for Congress and | Dr. George C. Pardee for Governor. Be- | yond this there has been no agreement, | and there will be no use of the delegation { for cther ends without the consent of the two leaders. This condition of affairs was | announced in a stftement officially issued | las coming from both Congressman Met- calf and Dr. George C. Pardee. This state- ment readss LEADERS CONFER. For a long,time it has been apparent that the factional differences between the Repub- licans of Alameda County have had a demorai- izing effect upon the party, have engendered unnecessary bitterness and have injuriously af- fected the welfare of the whols comgaunity. | It has been for some time the general belfef | of the Republicans of the county that these differences were not Irreconcilable and had no sound reason for their continued existence. Sharing in that belief, we have met and talked matters over. We have mot in our meetings claimed or pretended to represent the great army of Republicans in the county. We have met as Individuals, owing what- ever prominence we possess to the favor of the Republican party: as individuals personally in- | terested in the questions of the day. desirous of harmeny in our offm county and deeply in- terested in the success of the Republican party in national, State and local affairs. The result of our conference means that we belleve that the Republican party of this coun- ty should be and can be united and harmonious, mot only for the present but for the future. It means, 80 far ae our Influence extends, that we will use 1t to the utmost to accompiish th end PARDEE FOR GOVERNOR. In pursuance of this, we trust Alameda Coun- ty will send to the State convention a united | and harmenious delegation in the Interests of | Dr._George C. Pardee for Governor and Victor H. Metcalf for Congress: and to this end we bespeak the hearty co-operation of our friends. There has been no discussion or even consid- eratién of the candidacy of any other person for any office. This means that there will be but one ticket in the fleld in Alameda County, and | that this ticket will be used to further the interests of the county with State con- vention, each of the two leaders being consulted. The radical element in each faction will be eliminated, and the con- servative element upon each side will | unite. This condition of affairs will ex- ténd down the entire line from the sup- port of Metcalf for Congress and Pardes | for Governor to the county offices. ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN TREASURE ABOARD Steamship Roanoke Brings This Sea- son’s Largest Gold Shipment From Nome. SEATTLE, July 28.—One million dollars in treasure was brought by the steamship Roanoke, which arrived from Nome and St. Michael this morning.

OMAHA, July 28.—An earthquake shock, which was general over ‘portions of Ne- braska, Western Iowa and South Dakota, occurred shortly before 1 o'clock to-day. The seismic disturbances were felt at a large number of towns in the three States and lasted from ten to fifteen seconds. No damage has been reported thus far, al- though the shock was sufficient to rattla dishes and affect Dbell towers in some places. Yankton, 8. D., reports a shock of twelve seconds’ duration. Santee Agency, in Northern Nebraska, reports the occur- rence of a quake: and Battle Creek, Neb., ‘was shaken for twenty seconds. The dis- turbance was more plainly felt at the lat- ter place than at any other which has thus far reported. In this city the shake was barely dis- cernible and few people knew of such a thing until the Weather Bureau reported it to-night. From Santee Agency comes a report of quite a severe shock, lasting sixteen see- onds. YANKTON, S. D., July 28—An earth- quake shock occurred here at 12:45 this afternoon, lasting about twelve seconds. Thé shock was accompanied by the usual rumbling noises and moved from north- east to southwest, Pl
