Schmitz advised Dougherty to tell the truth and the said something and went back to the HOSEMAN STANDS FIRM. Dougherty has been keeping close engine house 0. 2, in order meeting Blakely or his friends. He de- nies that he made any confession to Blakely or any one else and is ready to | B0 before Mayor Schmitz and testify as before. He sticks to his story that he received the examination questions from Blakely. He says the statements of Blakely and others, accusing him of dou- ble dealing, are untrue and that at the proper, time he will deny them. Chief Sulllvan has the greatest faith in Dougherty. He says he has known him to to avoid truth. He thinks an effort has been made | to Intimidate the hoseman and he s | ready to protect Dougherty and any other member of his department. He says no scandal has disgraced the department for | many years and so long as he is at its head he will not permit anything to hurt its good name. He says Dougherty has given his word to him that his statement to the Mayor was the truth, and until it is conclusively proven that he has been teMing an untruth he will believe him. Chlef Sullivan called upon the Mayor vesterday and told that official that he had seen the article in The Call, in which it was stated that Dougherty had con- fessed, and he had then interviewed the hoseman and the latter denied 1t. This morning the Mayor will take up the investigation of the scandal surround- ing the examination for Milk Inspectors, Commissioner McCarthy’s name has been brought into this affair and he demands that he be given a hearing.

Is Head of the Largest Amer- | ican Concern Operating in Czar’s Domain. —e John Rosene, president of the North-| | western Commercial Company and man- | aging director of the Northeastern Sibe rian Company, which have obtained fro- the Russian Government a valuable cor ! cession on the eastern coast of Siberii, arrived from the East yesterday and ds ,at the Palace. Through the medium of | Rosene the American company and its | Russian adjunct have secured the com- | I merclal rights to about 200,000 acres of | mining and agricultural land situated on | the Tchukotsk peninsula of Siberia, which lies just opposite Seward peninsula on the | kan coast. | | last year the companies established | three trading and supply stations along | the Siberian coast and sent sixty Amer | can and 120 Russjan prospectors to their | properties for the purpose of beginning | mining development work, and this year | it is purposed to build additional sta-| tions and reinforce :he Americans by at | lcast 300, and put to work as many Rus- | sian laborers in the salmon fisheries. and | the gold and coal mines, which are to Le | | extensively operated. Behind Rosene in this gigantic project are some of the highest officials in Rus. sia, among them Grand Duke Nichola: uncle of the Czar; Prince Dolgoroukl, | general aid-de-camp to the Czar, and ! Colonel V. M. Wonlarlarski. The Ameri- can company has among its stockholders men of prominence, such as Ferdinand | Peck of Chicago, John 1. Waterbury of | | the Manhattan Trust Company; W. F.| Yokum, president of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad; Lyman J. Gasge | and James Ramsey, president of the | Wabash road. In February last the Czar of Russia ! conferred on the companies the privilege | of selecting Rosene as general manager | lof the Russian concern, which s a spe- cial distinction in that it is the first time that an American has been permitted to | ssume the dutles of manager of a Ru n incorporated commercial concern. | The purpose of Rosene’s visit to the | city is to purchase a steamer, of which | tlie company already has three, one hav- | ing left Seattle last week for the Siberian | coast. In # ussing the big enterprise | last night ®osene said the intention of | the companies is to develop their conces- sion in the same manner that the lands | Alaska have been developed, and in this work they are assured every p of ble encouragement from the | Gevernment. The Trans-Siberian Railway will be used by the companies as a means of reaching the FEuropean markets with | their fish, and it expected that the | | mining for coal and gold will greatly en- | hance the commercial relations between | Russia and the United States. | | Adams’ Sarsaparilla Pills (Chocolate Coated.) | Cocl. cleanse and purify the blood, cure con- | stipation, billousness, sick headaches, 10c, 2Bc.* —_——— In the Divorce Court.

The amateur footpad who gave the | name of Harvey Atherton when arrested | oa Saturday night after holding up Frank Ril at Bush and Broderick streets, and Willlam Clark, at Turk and Broderick, was identified yesterday morning by his employer, E. Quayle, a milk dealer at 604 Buchanan street, as H. Axtel. Quayle | saw the footpad's picture in the papers | | vesterday morning and at once recognized | h:m. He called upon Captain Martin and said that Axtel had been working for him for the last two months and on Saturday night Axtel drew $10 from the wages owing him, saying he was going to Fruit- vale. Quayle said he understood that Ax- tel's parents lived in Honolulu. The police are inclined to think that Axtel is not such an innocent youth as he would lead them to believe. They learned from Quayle that he roomed at Market and Pearl ets, and his room will be thoroughly searched, with a view to ascer- | taining if he has been connected with a other crimes. When searched on Satur: | day night a membership card of the Y. M | C. A, in the name of H.
