MILWAUKEB, Wis., Aug. 22.—After years of search, Involving a perilous trip to the Klondike in midwinter, Mrs, H. Hamfilton, a trained nurse residing in Milwaukee, has found a brother who long ago was mourned as dead by mem- bers of his family, and In a few weeks | Cotumbta, which he will butld. He is the owner ¢f two mines in the West Koote- nay country, rich enough to dwell in lux- ury, and the two will pass their declining years together., For thirty years James H. Christie, well known all .along the Pacific Coast, the long lost and newly found brother, has roamed the wilds of Canada and the far north. He has been fromtlersman, sol- dler and explorer. Even now, with wealth at his command, the old instinct is with bim, and preparatory to settling down he is off on an exploring expedition, accom- panied by Indians who were in his ser- vice eighteen years ago, into Bering Sea and up the Peace River. The Christie family lived In Edinburgh, Scotland, and James, the younger brother, a spirited lad, who had been educated for the navy, left home at the age of 17, After that there was an occasional letter from him until thirteen years ago, after which his family heard nothing. @i e e MAKING READY FOR THE FLEET Chaffee’s Men Prepare for the Defense of the Harbor. 20 PORTLAND, Me., Aug. 22—The forty- inches long ... $].00 each | Makes Valuable Gift to University. | O of the total | Hon.

W ill Send Rebels and Raiders to Haciendas on the East Coast. bl D i Speclal Dispatch to The Call TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 22.—Alarmed by the recent Yaqul outbreaks in Sonora, the Mexican officials in that State have de- cided on a policy Which they believe will prevent another insurrection and perma- nently settle the question of dealing with the Yaqui Indians which has so long agitated the different civil and military Governors of Sonora. The policy is said to have been the outcome of correspon- dence which the Governor of Sonora re- cently had with General Torres, formerly military Governor, but now Minister of War for Mexico, The plan of deportation of all Indians showing any hostile intentlons which was s0 effectively employed at the end of the last rebelllon will be revived. Hereafter when any of the Yaquis working In the mines or on the ranches are found con- cealing arms or are suspected of being in sympathy with rebels or ralders, they will be deported to Tabasco, Vera Cruz, Chiapds and other places on the east coast from which they are distributed over farms and haclendas, far from their na- tive State and the mountains which they know so well. Seven hundred Yaquis ‘were thus deported at one time about a vear ago, and sgce then have given no trouble. They Were for the mwost part women and children, however, many of them being the survivors of ths massacre in the Uvalama Canyon, when most of the Yaqui men who were engaged in the fight were killed. The Government will adopt a policy of deporting entire familles where the mem- Lers of the family are suspicioned or 2und gui'ty of being In league with the rebels and will thus avold the breaking up of families so far as they exist. The Indians are to be taken In transports down the coast and after landing will be taken under guard to the enst coast points from which tuey are to be distributed. The haciendas on which they are placed are so far distant from each other and the country s¢ strange to them that all danger of an outbreak is precluded. The policy will be immediately inaugurated, as the Yaquis in many sec- ions of Sonora have shown signs of rest- lessness.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 22.— The Stanford University Inn, which for the past vear and a half has been run by the students as a co-operative board- ing-house will be opened on Monday next under the supervision of the university { faculty. I. W. Strowbridge, who occupied | the position of steward at the inn last | by | President Jordan and will have complete | year, has been appointed receiver control of the big eating place, subject to faculty supervision. The Stanford University Inn Club, the co-operative organization which has been | running the inn. finished the college year with an indebtedness of $2500, hence the intervention of the faculty and the ap- pointment of a receiver. The Inn Club was composed largely of men living at Encina Hall, the men's dormitory, and a board of directors elected from among its members had charge of the business. The inn has always accommodated near- ly 200 students, yet run successfully. When it was first private management of a prominent restauarant man of San Francisco. not prove a successful business veature, either for him or the several other parties that succeeded to the management in later years. The boarding problem was exceedingly difficult for the faculty and university management to solve and it was thought that the students could make a success of it, but the hope has not been realized. The students’ affairs committee will su- pervisge the new management. —————— Wants to Build a Wooden Depot.
