Bell as Congressman from d District. Enough {llegal ic votes were thrown out to jus- belief in Republican circles that count Frank L. Coombs would gain clear majority in this county, where, g to the returns, Bell's plurality nd that he would even obtain ugh es to elect him. This is not ere wild talk, but is warranted by the gs of this afternoon and of Coombs declare they will at communicate with him and urge the f an immediate contest. The action, which had been on hearing Lefore Superior Judge Shields, was brought by W. A. Anderson, independent andidate for City Justice of the Peace, John C. March, the successful sblican nominee, and was based on allegation that many {rregularly mped ballots had been counted for arch. The hearing proved a tedious 1 expensive affair and late this after- noon, when Anderson found that the sev- eral downtown precincts, on which he d, would not elect him, even al- for the discarded ballots, he gave the contest. But there were many anxious watchers among other candidates and several who ered themselves elected are de- ted to-night and on the point of con- contest Rep the that a contest would mean their ral contests will follow the one by Anderson.

W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Pending the return of Secretary Root to the War De- partment next week, no action will be taken on the bids received for the trans- portation of passengers and freight for the army between Pacific ports and Ma'.- nila. It is probable that no contract will be | awarded for several weeks, as the depart- ment is looking very carefully into the | question whether Government business can be done more economically by dis- | continuing the army transport service | and giving that work to private lines. | The subject is being considered in all its | phases and the conclusion will not be reached without deliberation and the | closest study, with due regard for the | interests of the Government and the| army Secretary Root has made up his mind | | that private parties can do the work | much cheaper than the Government can do it, but whether it wouid be advisable, {all things considered, to accept any bid that has been recelved, he has not de- termined. Quartermaster General Ludington and other officials of the department specially interested in the matter are apprehensive | that San Francisco may lose the line of |army transports between that nort and | Manila by reason of the discontinuance of the service and that unless commercial | interests centering in San Francisco ar- | range for the operation of a line of ships | to the Philippines and bid for the work | the Government business will be turned in\'er to the Boston Steamship Company | of Seattle, whose bid offers special in- { ducements for its acceptance. | Rob Store and Postoffice.

AN JOSE, Dec. 3.—The !aqtlanal fight in the Trinity Episcopal parish, according to the followers of Rey. Dr. Mockridge, is not vet settled and because of the small majority of fourteen they are not will- ing to admit they are’ beaten. Some of them even declare that Dr. Mockridge will remain rector of the church for some time. They say that the old vestry must prefer charges against Dr. Mockridge and he must be tried and found guilty before he can be removed, and it s asserted that there is nothing upon which to base | cherges. Dr: Mockridge refuses to discuss the situation. He says he is still rector of Trinity Church and he has not yet de- cided upon his fyture course. “I do not know whether I shall resign or not,”” said the rector this afternoon. “Of course, the old vestry has won in the election and will make it unpleasant for me. During the coming week I shall I was elected rec- tor of this church and no term was set and the only way I can be removed is by charges being preferred against me and a trizl being held. Further than this T have nothing to say.” Dr. Mockridge’s friends are urging him te hold the fort. They declare that the majority in favor of the vestrymen is so | smal: that Bishop Nichols. is not likely | to interfere. They will hold a confer- ence with Dr. Mockridge during the week and decide upon a plan of action. The | resignation of Choirmaster. Urmy and the taking of his choir with him, the Mock- 1idge followers say, was a spectacular move by the enemies of the rector to aid in the re-election of the old board of ves- trymen. The election of the vestry will be an- nounced in church on Sunday and on Monday it will meet and organize. This meeting is expected to be an interesting one. The rector is the presiding officer and it is believed that Rev. Dr. Mock- SAN FRANCISCO GIRL'S LONG TRAMP IN ARCTIC Makes Her Way From an Ice-Blocked Steamship to the City of Dawson. DAWSON, Nov. 18, via Seattle, Dec. 3. The last of the Yukon fleet to navigate between White Horse -and St. Michael barely escaped § tragic fate in the great ice floes of the mighty stream. After run- ning the gauntlet 400 miles in thick ice, the steamer La France, which has the honor of being the last of the big fleet to continue in service, was forced by the elements to give up the attempt to reach Dawson. 8 At Kirkman the steamer was lodged on a bar with the ice pack gathering about her. unable to get a line to the shore through the heavy ice. In order to save the steamer and the lives of those on board and part of the cargo, twenty tons of oats were jettisoned into the grinding mass of ice. The boat then lifted and was able to steam over the bar. After getting within 100 miles of Daw- son the La Fr e become blocked for the winter in Steamboat Slough, She . had five scows with her at the beginning, but when she reached the slough only one was in her convoy. The others had been left at aifferent points covering a range of 100 miles. The cargoes of the scows were not dam- aged and were safely put ashore at dif- ferent points after the craft became fast in the jammed river ice. Ten passengers were on the La France and they had a true Arctic frontier ex- perjence in getting out of the isolated quatters at Steamboat Slough. The Slough is many miles from the overland trail and an untrodden course had to be taken. All members of the crew and the officers and passengers had to walk eighty miles to get out of the place. Miss Gertrude Timm, a San Francisco giri, and Miss May Biggs were in the party and bravely tramped out with the men. —_— VIENNA, Dec, 3.—Count Richard Bolordi, ‘who was Premier at the time of the Austro- Prussian war, died at Gmunden to-day.

Dr. Mockridge has been withheld since last June and it is said that a suit will be commenced short- ly unless the money be forthcoming. Should the old vestry insist upon Rev. Lr. Mockridge leavif the church and be sustained by the Bishop, it is more than likely that the parish will divide and a new church be founded by the Mockridge taction. Among his supporters are many of the wealthy church. The troubles between Dr. Mockridge and his congregation began about a year ago. A few months after he succeeded | Rev. Burr M. Weeden as pastor of Trin- ity Dr. Mockridge, it is sald, made some suggestions about the church music, and i selected certain songs for the choiry and he and Choirmaster Urmy at once fell out. Urmy declares the music was suit- ed to the dark ages, and the cholr broke {into a twitter after rendering the first | selection. Shortly afterward the Thanks- | giving service was supplemented by a | “harvest feast,” an English observance. Rev. Mr. Weeden was the most popular rector the church ever had, and when i Rev. Mr. Mockridge changed the ser- | vice and rearranged the church’'s affairs a cry went up. He was declared old- fashioned. He also is alleged to have in- terfered in the church societies. ugges- tions made by the vestry were Agnored, and the membership of the church began to dwindle away. Last June relations be came so strained that the vestry de- manded his resignation. This Dr. Mock- ridge refused to give, and about one- half of the congregation sided with him. Bishop Nichols was appealed to, but refused to interfere until after the election, which was held yesterday. No direct charges have been made against Dr. Mockridge, but the opposition of> the vestry to him has developed into a factional fight. | DR. PIERCE’'S REMEDIES.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.—Governor Gage having refused to honor-the requisition brought here for the return to Tennessee of Hugh Bryson, the case against the latter on the charge of being a fugitive from justice was dismissed to-day. At Oxnard yesterday. the case which he had brought against Miss Priscilla Howell was dismissed, thete being not the slight- est evidence to sustain the charge. Bryson is the man who was arrested here two weeks ago a$ a fugitive from Jjustice, on complaint of Miss Howell, who alieged that he had abducted her child. An officer arrived from Memphis and there was a hearing before Governor Gage, who declared that the requisition pspera| were defective. On this showing in court to-day Bryson was given his liberty. It was announced to-night by Miss Howell's attorney that she would now abandon the search for her child and re- turn to her home, but the fact that she hos still retained the services of detec- | tives leads to the belief that this state- ment is only a blind, and that amended papers are on the way from Nashville. @ sivibimivieinireieivivieinleeinlel it @ GASTA QUITS A PERILOUG JOB Spain's Premier Informs the King of His Resignation, stitutional lawyer that ever lived. cessible.

Fér a fortnight past this man has been prowling around at night, and al- though the police have been keeping a close watch they have been unable to catch him. Many belleve the man is in- sane. He secretes himself in a dark spot and awaits the approach of unprotected women. He insults them and at times ac- companies them to the very thresholds of their homes. A few days ago he en- tered a regidence on San Salvador street and attenfpted to seize a woman, but her screams scared him away. . So frightened have the women and girls in that neighborhood become that they will not venture out at night, and hus- bands and brothers, who are compelled to remain at home as a protection, are threatening a coat of tar and feathers if the fellow be caugh MEN ARE CONVICTED z ’ AND MUST GO TO JAIL Celebrated Streeter Case in Chicago Ended by Verdict Against the Defendants.
