This aroused the citi- zens, who ran to the depot to help save the freight. The fact was overlooked that fifty cases of dynamite were stored in the place and the explosion occurred while a large crowd of citizens and other men were near the scend. Ten business houses were also wrecked, causing a heavy loss. Two freight trains on the siding were got away in time to save them. DOUKHOBOR LEADERS ARE LOSING PRESTIGE Immigration Officials Say That They Will Be Unable to Start An- other Pilgrimmage. WINNIPEG, Man., Nov. 17.—Immigra- tion Officer Roy, who assisted in driving the Doukhobor horde back to their vii- lages, arrived at Winnipeg to-day and says there was great rejoicing on the re- turn of the Doukhobor men. The women, since being separated from the men, ap- pear to have cooled in their fanatic ardor remain at home. The leaders were Still possessed of their crazy actions, but have lost their hold on their followers. Roy does not be- | lieve that the leaders, however enthusi- | astic, can again incite their followers. to start out on another crazy - mission. James T. Richardson of Yorkton, dis- cussing the recent trouble, said: Pamphlets written in the United States by Russian agitators possessed of euto- pian ideas started the movement, and the fanatical notions advanced were fanned by their ‘John the Baptist' and other mis- guided leaders.” P e e T Patrick Wants a New Trial.

Speers, former | REBELS DISABLE WARGHIP BOGOTA Vessel Fitted Out Here Is Reported to Be Defeated. Five Officers and Fifteen of the Crew Are Said to Have Been Killed. SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Nov. 17.—Ac- cording to news reaching here through Colombian revolutionary sources, a battle has taken place between the Colombian Government and the ‘Insurgent forces at Agua Dulce. The Government gunboats Chucuito and Bogota were on their way hither to take over and convey back with them the war vessel Poas, which formerly belonged to Costa Rica and was pugchased by the Colombian Government at its sale by auction early in September. The Bogota, according to these reports, is now on her way back to Panama in a disabled condition as a result of the en- | gagement, five officers and fifteen of her crew being said to have been killed. The whereabouts of the revolutionary gunboat Padilla is unknown. The Costa rican authorities refuse to permit Co- lombia to arm the Poas at this port, and the vessel 1s being steadily watched to see that no arms or ammunition are tak- en on board. It appears that the sentence of death passed on the revolutionary General Uribe-Uribe, who recently capitulated to the Government forces, was not carried out because General Perdomo observed that General Herrera of the revolutionary army has fourteen Government Generals as prisoners and he might avenge the death of Uribe-Uribe on them. With regard to the foregoing report of an engagement at Agua Dulce, a dispatch from Panama, November 12, ‘gave an ac- count of a fight between the Bogota, for- merly the Jessie Banning of San Fran- cisco, and manned by an American crew, and two revolutionary schooners. Of the latter, one was captured by the Bogota and the other burned, while it was cal- culated that from forty to fifty rebels were killed. The Bogota's' armorer was killed and three others of the crew were wounded. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—The Navy De- partment has received the following cable- gram from Admiral Casey, dated Panama, Nov. 16: “Colombian Government has to-day about 5000 men on line of rallroad. More are expected daily. General Perdomo ex- pressed to me his ability to maintain a free transit. I have ordered withdrawal from Isthmus of Panama and embarka- tion of marlnez. Tuesday next.” Transfer of Gold to This City. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The sub-treasury made a telegraphic transfer of $750,000 gold to San Francisco to-day, making a total of $1,000,000 sent to the Pacific Coast since last Thursday. Bankers with Pacific Coast connections say that the transfer of gold to San Francisco is the result of an ac- tive demand there for crop moving and | similar purposes. A transfer of $400,000 to New Orleans was made by the sub-treas- ury for local banks. TETEE U Ship Galgate Encounters Storms. VICTORIA, B.

Crew of First Vessel Gives Battle and Three Are Killed. G dan i Where They Are Still Detained in Prison. DG Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 17.—Hunters of the sealing schooner Seifu Maru, a Jap- | anese vessel now in port, tell of the seiz- ure of one Japancse schooner, the Chitose Maru, after the killing of several of her | crew during the fight to escape seizure, and the sinking of another by the Rus- sian cruiser Yakutat, after taking off the crew as prisoners. They tell also of the loss of the Japenese sealer Juntin Maru, presumably during the heaxy gales in which the schooners Dora Sieward and Geneva of this port lost their boats and were damaged last April, for the schooner was known to have encountered that gale | and was never seen afterward, The Chitose Maru, which is one of the fleet sailing out of Hakodate under the Rising-sun flag, was hunting in the Japan Sea and was cruising northward. One day in April—on April 20, to be exact—she drifted into a smedl port just south of Hakodate, intending to get water there. When she neared the port her master realized that it was a Russian port and endeavored to sail his schooner out; but she was becalmed, and, the currents set- ting into the bay, she was obliged to go in. Soon some boats were seen coming | from shore and a Russian called upon the | captain of the Chitose to surrender his vessel, as they intended to seize him as | a seal poacher. SCHOONER SHOWS FIGHT. The sealer’s master loaded his bomb gun with buckshot and opened fire on the boats, which returned a volley. THe seal- ers also came into actlon with their seal- ing guns, and there was quite a brisk fight. | Three of the crew of the sealer were | killed before the Russians boarded the | Chitose Maru and took pussession of her. | The sealers were taken to Vladivostok, a short distagce north of the port in | which the schooner was seized, and at the | last advices received by the crew of the | Seifu they were still in the Russian | prison. The Chitose had gone in for wa- ter when she was seized. ‘When the Russian cruiser Yakutat ar- rived at Cape Nome from a cruise through the Japanese Sea and the sealing grounds off the Kuriles, she reported having sunk | a Japanese sealing ‘schooner after taking | off the crew. The hunters of the schoon- er Seifu Maru confirm the story. They { had not learned the name of the schooner, but understood that the Yakutat had come across her within the limit off the | Copper Islands and had seized her. After taking off the crew and the skins taken by the sealer the cruiser had used her fer a target and sunk her. The sealers also report the loss of the | schooner Juntin Maru, with all on board. It was known that she had encountered the very heavy gale which raged off the Kuriles on April 2 in which the Victoria schooners Geneva and Dora Sieward suf- fered and it was believed that she found- ered with all on board during that storm, for no word was heard of her afterward. LOSES SIX OF HER CREW. There are now about thirty-eight schooners hunting out of Japanese ports, the majority from Hakodate,.many of them being owned by Americans and Canadians. Many of them hunt yearly off the Copper Islands, which are now well guarded by Russians. Last ygar, when the Japanese schooner Tonyu Maru, commanded by Captain Farley, a brother of Captain Pat Farley, who was lost with the sealing schooner Hatzig last spring, ‘was making a raid on the Copper Islands, six of her men, including C. Diamond, for- merly cook on the schooner Hatzic out of Victoria, were captured. No less than 170 shots were fired at the schooner, which was compelled to sail away, leaving the sealers to be prisoners of the Czar. The schooner was badly “shot up,” and some of the crew were wounded. Captain Far- ley received a bullet through his hat. The Seifu’s hunters report that th schooner Villie McGowan, one of the V wria schooners sewzed by the Russian cruiser Kabiaka in 1896, is now a Russian revenue cutter. She arrived at Hakodate on a crulse when the Seifu was fitting out. Robber Is Securely Guarded.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Nov. 17.—Mrs. Blanche Chesebrough Molineux has ar- rived here from New York. Mrs. Moli- reux refuses to be interviewed, but a friend says Mrs. Molineux has come here to establish a residence. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The dispatch from Sioux Falls to-day annpuncing Mrs. Roland B. Molineux's arrival there to take up her residence was shown to General Molineux and he was asked if his daughter-in-law intended to get a di- vorce. “I have nothing to saw” ugfl the gen- eral. Roland B. Molineux's counsel, G. C. Battle, said he knew nothing about Mrs. Molineux’s reason for going to Sigux Falls. Former Governor Black was in Troy to-day. Mrs. Molineux’s absence from court during her husband’'s last trial revived rumors of family differences, but she went to the Molineux residence in Brook- lyn a few hours after her husband was acquitted and remained until the next morning, wheén she returned to New York, where she had been staylng. She was there an hour or two and then disappear- ed. She was not seen in public with her husband last week. Ex-Judge Olcott, Molineux’s counsel, sald the news from Sioux Falls was a surprise to him because the differences between Mrs. Roland B. Molineux and her mother-in-law had been settled and the family relations, so far as he knew, were amicable. General Mol- ineaux pald his son's wife’s expenses al the while his son was in prison, and last week the general'made a pubiic statement about his daughter-in-law, in which he said: “She is as good and pure a woman as breathes.” He sald he had traced all the storles concerning her and found they were false. Later in the day General E. L. Molineux sald that Mrs. Roland Molineux arrived at his home the night of Thursday, No- vember 6, the day of the acquittal of her husband, leaving there the ensuing morn- ing. The general had gone to business earlier in the day and did not see her. “She left no word,” he said, “and this was the last we have seen or heard of her.” As to the report that Mrs. Roland Moli- neux has gone to South Dakota for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, the gen- eral said: “I know that the idea of a divorce did not.come from any member of my fam- fly. I expect’to obtain more particulars to-morrow, which I may or may not com- municate to the public.” Seven Italians Are Badly Stabbed. BUTTE, Mont.,, Nov. 17.—A special to the Miner from Forsythe, Mont.,, says that following a drunken carousal of some Italian rallway laBorers trouble arose, in which stilettos played a prom- ment part.

HOPES FOR PEAE OUTH AFRICA Secretary Chamberlain Talks on the Boer Situation. raSEtY S S S LONDON, Nov. 1T.—Colonial Secretary Chamberlain received an ovation to- night at Birmingham, where a farew®ll banquet on the occasion of his departure for South Africa was given in his honor. Members of all parties joined in the dem- onstration, as the affair was of a nom- political character. Chamberlain was ac- companied by his wife and son, Austen Chamberlain. Responding to a tremendously enthu- siastic welcome, the Colonial Secretary paid an affectionate tribute to his Ameri- can wife, who, he declared, had sustained him by her courage and cheered him by her sympathy. He had found in her his “best and truest counselor.” Referring to his approaching trip, he | sald it was to be a matter of bustness and not a mere parade. He could not ex- pect that all the bitterness in South Africa would die out, but he could say this for the Government, that all suffering would be relieved. He was bound on a new venture and there was a possibility of faflure. The Government's desire was to make South Africa one united nation, united in heart as well as In name. Great- er differences, he sald, had been healed, and he mentioned Canada as an instance in this connection. High Commissioner Milner still retained the confidence of the Government. Cham- berlain said he hoped to see the represen- tative of every political section in South Africa. He then could learn more in thres days than in a month in the study of the dispatches in the Blue Books. He be- Heved he would be met half way, and he would gain the friendship of the King's new Boer subjects. He took an optimistic view regarding the future of South Africa. On the conclusion of Chamberlains speech there was a torchlight procession and a display of fireworks. The streets were packed with thousands of persons, who at one point broke through the bar- rier erected to keep the crowd back. This incident created some excitement and re- sulted In slight injuries to a few persoms. BACK PAINS! They are a warning of Kidney | Nervous_Debility, Locomotor Ataxia and Lum- bago.
