SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 2%6.—Quite in contrast with the happy faces of the in- dependent operators’ committee when it returned from, New York.lest night were the countenances of -the miners’ represen- tatives when. they returned to-day from then disappointing trip. to Washington, w the latter view the sudden and sur- prising turn of affairsds well set forth in 2 stafement fssued this afternoon by Dairow & Lloyd, the miners’ at- torneys, who accompanied Mitchell to Washington. They clearly indicate that | they think - the - coal “road presidents acquiesced in MacVeagh's”plan of a set- tiement oWt of «court and then repudiated him. - The allegation that George F. Baer sigred the telegram to Chairman 'Gray of the commission declaring that the -big comwpanies were agreeable to the idea of am.cable ‘adjustment and that the same man signed the telegram to MacVeagh in Washington calling off the negotiations is made in the statement. The statement follows 2 | The commistion adjourned for ten days in | pursuance of an arrangement between the par- ties to give opportunity for -coneiliation vn ac- count of a telegram which it was understood was written by George F.

WARDEN OF SAN QUENTIN SUSPECTS | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, ANOTHER PLOT TO ESCAPE IS AFOOT Solitary Confinement in Dungeons Fails to Force From Convicts Hammell and Roup a Confession Implicating Their Confederates and Revealing Where They Obtained the Tools With Which They Excavated a Tunnel 3 AN RAFAEL, Neov. 26—Frank Hammell and James Roup, the convicts who attempted to liber- ate many prisoners from San Quentin prison by means of & tunnel, will remain in_solitary confine- ment for a long time. Both men are now in dungeons and are being subjected to rigorous questioning every few hours. Warden Aguirre believes he has . the prime movers of the .plot, but is still arxious to learn how the men who did the tunneling were enabled to purloins tools from the tin shop without being de- tected by the guards. Tn the tunnel was found a crowbar, a brace and bit, a piece of shovel and a chisel. Neither Hammell nor, Roup will diclose any details of their plan, the former asserting that he knows nothing further ‘than he has already disclosed, while the latter refuses to talk about the affair at all, except to boast that he planned it and would have escaped if giv- en a little longer time. Both convicts claim they were alone in the plot, while Warden Aguirre is positive that some one eise must” have been cognizant of the ! work to bé done and procured the tools. 0N 7 —— A THE THRE.

Customs officials believe that at least part of them have subsequently found their way to San Francisco. The chief conductor of this underground line has been Henry Moy, a ten-year-old boy, who was arrested vesterday at South Ta- coma with three Chinese whom he had brought 130 miles from Sumas in broad vlight and without creating a sus- picion untll Officer Joles took the quar- tet into custedy. It required the shrewdness of a Chinese to discover that a party of “green” Chi- nese would be in less danger of apprehen- sion when in charge of a small boy than if they had an older and more experienced guide, Though informed some time ago that Chinese were being imported illegal- Iy in this manner, the customs officers ould scarcely believe that two or three small boys could accomplish so much. They_ accordingly laid plans to capture the next lot shat went south, and yes- terday’s arrest followed. It developed to-day that little Henry Moy had made serral previous trips with Chinese and th€t his twelve-year-old brother has been one of other Chinese children employed in the same manner, & KITCHEN REQUISITES. ‘Popover’s wife knows not that this Is but a grateful sort of kiss.

Draper, a newspaper correspon- dent of this city, who was arrested ves- terday on a warrant charging him with being a fugitive from justice, came up for hearing In the Court of Criminal Cor- rection to-day, and by mutual consent was postponed to December 15. Draper's offense was the authorship of an alleged libelous article concerning an Indian by the name of White Buffalo of Oklahoma Territory and published in the Philadelphia North American last July. The article was written at Wichita, Kan., but no proceedings have yet been insti- tuted there, it is said. Van Valkenburg, editor, and Emory Foster, Sunday editor, of the North Am- erican, accompanied by White Buffalo, Colonel R. H. Pratt, superintendent of the Carlisle, Pa., Indian School, at which institution White Buffalo was educated, and Judge James G. Gordon of Philadel- phia came here to prosecute the case. The article in question stated that ‘White Buffalo ‘had been sent to the Gov- ernment school for Indians at Cariisle, where he was educated; that he had re- turned to his tribe imbued with a deep hatred f§or the white race; that he first met Mary Andrews and after courting for awhile, bound her to a pony and when found she was dead; that he then met Annie Dennis and after a short courtship, her throat was cut; that White Buffalo then met Maud Ellis and in & short time she was found with a Knife in her heart. The article then went on to state that White Buffalo was under arrest and in Jjail charged with the murders. ——— BOUNDARY ARBITRATORS GIVE MOST TO CHILE British Commission Completes Decis- ion in the Dispute Between South American Nations. LONDON, Nov. 2.—A. Bertrand, a Chilean expert, who testified before the British Boundary Commission to-day, said that he regards the situation as gen- erally rather favorable to Chile. More thar. half the disputed territory, although not the most valuable portion, 1s awarded to Chile. “I do not believe,” he added, “that we could have obtained so much from Ar- gentina by direct agreement. I sail for America to-morrow to participate in marking out the boundary.” SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Tuesday, Nov. 2%.—The decision of the British Arbitra- tion Commission in the boundary dispute between Chile and Argentina was re- ceived here with calmness, but with lit- tle satisfaction, as the new demarkatory lines have no scientific basis, and becausé, although Chile gets the largest amount of land, Argentina gets the best land.

Musi- cians, poets, sculptors, painters and art- ists of all sorts have been doomed to a life of seclusion because of the insidious encroachments of catarrh. Catarrh of the head, producing mental producing deafness; catarrh of the eyes, interfering with the vision; catarrh of the throat, cutting off speech and making life miserable with all sorts of throat affec- tions; catarrh of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the abdominal and pelvic organs—any one or all of these forms of catarrh have laid low many a man and woman who would otherwise Blasted By Chronic CATARR A Prominent Youn Virtuoso Curcd © Chronic Catarrh by Pe-ru-na Aiten' Years of Suficring. | have been destined to a useful if not glow rious career. Professor Walter V. Wann of Detroit, a musician of more than local reputa+ tion, would have been counted as one of these victims had it not been for Peruna. He had taken many remedies for catarrhy of the head and throat; as is too often the case, he grew worse and worse im spite of the remedies. Some one persuad« ed him to try Peruna. He found, as thou- sands of others had found, a prompt and/ permanent cure. His own statement is: “Peruna entirely cleared my system of any trace of catarrh, and I am now Im excellent health.” Who can compute the value of such & recovery? Who can estimate the worth of such a remedy? Peruna has made just such cures thou- sands upon thousands of times. There ig no nook or cranny in the whole United States but that some one could be found who owes his life and success to Peruna, the greatest catarrh remedy of the age. Hon.

TUREEY ORDERS GUNS TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAX War Ministry Begins the Work of Rearmament of the Artil- lery. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2%.—Sixteen batteries of quick-firing guns, number- ing ninety-six guns in all, have beeg om- dered from the Krupp works as the com- mencement of the rearmament of the Turkish artillery. The War Ministry also is authorized to purchase 220,000 smalil caliber Mausers to complete the present establishment. With wagons and ammu- nition for the artillery the orders entail an outlay of $3,960,000. The purchases apparently were acceler- ated beeause of the recent developments in the situation in Macedonia and the Balkans and the impression prevalling in many quarters here that a serious out- break, possibly leading to widespreaq complications, may be expected in the spring. ————— Hasburg’s ‘Gold T5c.
