4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY ‘NOVEMBER 26, 1903. ohfS NATES ARE WORTHLESS General Funston Re- ports on Conditions in Alaska. e Officer Proposes a Reserva- “tion for the Es- quimo. B2 e il 3 WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Brigadier- reral Frederick Funston, command- ng the has submitted to the Adjutant-General f the army a report reviewing the re- Its of his investigations of reports of destitution among natives of Alaska. General Funston says his investigation was made in the summer season and that, as the destitution complained of »ceurs only in the winter, the data he btained was mostly from conversation with traders, missionaries, miners and other residents of the country. Most of the natives along the coast of Alaska, General Funston says, belong to the Thlinket race not 10s, and he says there never has been any general destitution among But despite their general pros- ral Funston says, there are the princiral ones being slosis and liguor. Yukon Indians are described to nitive state, but are honest industrious. About the only re- ports of destitution among the natives the interior of Alaska have been re- garding those on Copper river, but his information was that these Indians were trifing and worthless Concerning the Alaska Eskimo, Gen- eral Funston sa his existence has al- ways been a pr rious one, dependent upon his success in hunting and fish- and ng. After the Eskimos obtained breech-loading rifies from whalers in the seventies, caribou were slaugh- tered in the most reckless fashion. There is now, General Funston says, a cert unt of destitution and occa- sional starvation among the Eskimos of Bering sea and Kotzebue sound, but it is dwe to conditiong which prevailed rs before the miners came to the of Bering sea. The natives all but exterminated the caribou and also walrus with the same reck- rd for the future. nston says that under fa- s the reindeer enter- ill remove any causes 3 exist for destitution Eskimos, but that they are and improvident. He recom- mends that they be put under control of eSS Teg the Department of the Interior and their aimless wandering and visits to mining towns and all settlements of white men be prevented. He advises that under no circumstances should rations be distributed to them gratu- itousl Concerning the Aleuts, who inhabit the Alaskan peninsula and the adjacent c t and the Aleutian Islands, General Funston says that, aithough he never visited their country, they are decreasing in numbers, owing to the ead of tuberculosis, their fondness for liguor and the hard condi- tions of their life, due to the scarcity of game. IR L B WILL CONSIDER CONTESTS. Kahn-Livernash Case Will Be Settled at an Early Date. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—After com- mittees are announced by the Speaker next week the first work will be in all probability the disposition of one of two election cases. The first will be the Connell-Howell contest from the Scranton, Pa., district. Indorsed by the district Democratic convention, which, it is claimed, was packed by Connell Demoerats, the independent Democrats refused to accept Connell and nominated George Howell. How- ell appealed to the Democratic Con- gressional Committee for assistance, but as his case was considered hopeless he recelved no response, notwithstand- ing on election day, to the surprise of both Democrats apd Republicans, he received 400 more votes than did Con- nell, who began a contest. The Kahn-Livernash contest from San Franciseo will also be disposed of at an early date. i Supplying Krag-Jorgensens. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—The War Department has honored the requisition of the Governor of Colorado for 1000 Krag-Jorgensen rifies and clothing sup- plies and other equipment for 1000 men. The supplies will be regularly issued under the provisions of the Dick bill for the arming and equipment of the organ- ized militia of the States and Terri- tories. —_— House Forcing Senate to Act. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Until the Senate either passes the Cuban bill or rejects the measure, no proposition to adjourn the extra session of the Fifty- cighth Congress will be entertained by the House. ———e————— Team Goes Over an Embankment. NEVADA, Nov. 25.—L. Armstrong of Alleghany went over the Purdon grade vesterday afternoon, en route to Ne- vada City after freight, and killed two valuable horses. Armstrong was in company with Jeff Casserly, George Campbell and Ralph Brown when the accident occurred. He was going around a turn when the leaders be- came unmanageable and jumped off the road, pulling the wagon down a high embankment. Two valuable horses were instantly killed. Armstrong was thrown from the wagon and tangled up among the horses and harness. How he escaped injury is almost a miracle, although he was badly shaken up. The wagon was badly*damaged. —————— Fears Jailers Will Poison Him.

Dispatch” to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Here is a translation of a letter from the secret archives of M. Plehwe, Minister of the Interior of Russia. The original, writ- ten in German, bears filing marks and reference data of the office in St. Pe- tersburg, showing the date of its re- ceipt and the index number of the sub- | ject matter: | NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Excellency: Several months have gone by since I laid before his Excellency Count Cassini, Russian Embassador at Washington, my views about Rabbinical Judaism and Zionism and offered him my services to | combat this danger and to disclose this | world swindle. The course of events must have shown your Excellency how ight I was. “Zionism is a political experiment on | the part of England, and Dr. Herzl and | Dr. Nordau are in English pay. Hav- | ing been unsuccessful ip regard to Pal- estine, they have hit upon an exodus to | Africa and the above named leaders are | unscrupulous enough to lead their | brothers to destruction. I have a great | desire to write a whole book about the | business, which would completely justi- | fy the conduct of your government, but | without your support I can do nothing, | s his Excellency Count Cassini will | confirm. In all devotion. | WIENER. Ap. the letter makes plain, an offer | | Fade covertly to supply information | to the Russian Government which may | discredit the Zionist movement and | justify the agents of the Czar in any | attitude they may assume toward friends of the movement, which has for | its object the re-establishment of the | ews in a country of their own. In an | interview the writer, under the misap- prehension that he was talking to an emissary of the Russian Government, not only made plain that it was his ob- | jeet to disclose alleged secrets of the Zionists, which he said he was qualified | to do, but went further toward opening | negotiations for a supply of informa- tion. Dr. Herzl, mentioned in the letter, is a leader of the Zionist movement in Vienna and presided at the latest con- of delegates in August last at | , Switzerland. He read at the| congress a written promise from Min- | ter Plehwe, acting for the Russian | ernment, that Russia would support | the project to secure a concession from | the Sultan of Turkey for the occupa- i tion of Palestine, Dr. Nordau is a fa- | mous alienist and pathologist and is a | er of Zionists in France. | »th men named in the letter ad- | d consideration of another offer to | Zionists for a grant of a tract of 50,000 { square miles in a British protectorate in East Africa for the founding of the \ | contemplated Jewish hierarchy. This | scheme is now being investigated by | | scientific explorers. | | In his letter to the Russian Minister | he is advised that | Wiener intimates that Great Britain is | were busy preparini | backing Dr. Herzl and Dr. Nordau. | This is denjed by Zionists in this city. | ——————— DREDGER CHINOOK WORKS IN SATISFACTORY MANNER | s | | Commences the Gigantic Task of | Removing the Columbia River Bar. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 25.—The dredger | | Chinook has proved to be a big success, | and it is confidently predicted by local | shipping men that the Columbia-River | bar, so long shunned and anathema- tized by mariners, is about to pass into | history. Shortly before high tide, the | Chinook was-headed across the bar at |a speed of about six miles per hour. She was fourteen minutes in going over | | the shoal, and in that time 487% tons | of sand were pumped into her bins, a | rate of thirty-five tons per minute. | This amount would have been con- | siderably increased had not one of the | suction pipes been blocked with a rock | | for five minutes. Going out to sea, the | | bins were emptied in four minutes. The point where the dredging was commenced to-day and where it will be continued is along the south channel, which is the most narrow section of the bar. There the obstruction is less | than a mile and a quarter wide, and | | the real shoal or crest of the bar is about three-eighths of a mile in width. | As it will require about forty minutes | for the Chinook to dredge across the | bar, dump her load at sea and return, it is expected that five trips can be | made and 10,000 tons of sand taken out | !on each tide worked. ——— Nevada City Remembers Her Needy. NEVADA, Nov. 25.—Donation day, which is observed here every year, was a great success. All deserving of char- ity are assisted in this manner, the contributions received being distributed to the needy. The benevolent societies raised several hundred dollars, besides many cords of wood, hundreds of | pounds of provisions of all kinds, be- | sides much second-hand ciothing. The distribution took place to-day and | every poor family in Nevada City will have a happy Thanksgiving. —— | Police Say He Is a Highbinder. VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 25.—W.

Waited in Vain for Summer Horde and Now Wants Money Back. —— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 25. John R. Evans, late lessee of the Ferndale Springs Hotel, near Martinez, Contra Costa County, told Judge Mel- | vin to-day how it felt to be “mine host” at a guestless hotel. He rented the place from Benjamin F. von Ama- range, who, the complainant pleads, rep- resented the place as ‘a populous cara- vansary in the good, old summer time." He also told how mineral springs were made and the public fooled. The stock of $1 50 whisky that Evans had laid in he drank himself while waiting for the summer horde of visitors that fafled to materidlize and now Evans wants his money back. Seeking an investment for Alaskan gold, Evans was induced to take charge of Ferndale Springs. Mrs. Evans was to have general supervision, the Misses Evans to care for the com- | fort of the guests, while the son was to | drive the bus. The waters, it was rep- | resented, he could sell for $1 a gallon. | Evans said that he sold one meal for | 35 cents to a traveler who had lost his way and that represents the income of the place for several months. He dis- charged the Chinese cook after the first week and the family tried to even | things up by drinking the $1 a gal- lon water. Finally Mrs. Evans became sick and | the doctor said it was from drinking impure water. A divided reservoir, | from one side of which was said to |come sulphur and from the other water with the properties of magnesia, | | was cleaned out and the spring imme- | diately went dry. While there was a | spring on one side, the water had to | be poured into the other, and Evans | stated that his wife had been drinking | water many weeks old. This satisfled j him, if more proof were needed, that he { had purchased a *gold brick” and he | instituted sult to recover $350 rent paid out and $1500 damages. —————— | PREPARES FINE GARMENTS | FOR AGED MEN AND WOMEN | San Francisco Branch of the Needle- work Guild of America to Ex- hibit Handiwork.

Geneva street, was drowned yesterday afternoon in a reservoir in the rear of | the Del Monte Mills on Brannan street, | between Second and Third streets. The unfortunate lad, in company with Ed- ward Burke, aged 13 years, and several other boys, went for a swim in the res- ervoir. The exhaust pipe from the en- gine warms the water and the reser- voir has been a favorite place for lads in the neighborhood to swim in, not- withstanding that the management of the establishment has warned them away on several occasions. The water is about five feet deep and Henry walked beyond his depth. His companions saw him disappear from view and at once gave the alarm. Tom McShea of 21 Stanford street and Alex Saul responded to the call for help and brought the youth out of the water. He was removed to McShea’s home and Dr. Harvey summoned, but life was extinet. Upon the direction of Coroner Leland, the body was not removed to the Morgue. e Talks on Justice and Charity. Father F. M. Harvey gave a very in- teresting talk at the Alhambra Theater last night.

Makes Futile Attempt to End Life and Is Found When Helpless. e ALAMEDA, Nov. 25.—After firing a bullet into his forehead, evidently with | suicidal intent, and lying for two days where he fell, Archi Kai, a Japanese, was discovered to-day, more dead than live, in the servants’ quarters in the rear of the residence of Mrs. Janet E. Jackson, 1825 Clinton avenue. He was removed to the Receiving Hospital in Oakland, and the surgeons who attend- ed him believe that he has a chance of recovery. They were unable to extract the leaden slug, which plowed through the nasal bone and lodged close to the brain. Kai was employed at the Jackson residence for two weeks. He was first missed Monday night, and members of the household thought that the Japa- nese had become dissatisfied with the place and left without notice. This morning Miss Maude Jackson was alarmed by moans issuing from the servants’ qparters, and notified the po- lice. Patrolman Theodore Anderson re- sponded, and found Kai lying in his lodgings, weak from loss of blood and unable to help himself. Anderson sent the injured Japanese to the Receiving Hospital in the eity ambulance. Beside the wounded man lay a 32-caliber six- shooter with one chamber discharged. e i FOOTBALL MEN FAVOR NEW COACHING PLAN | Members of the Varsity Second Elev- en Will Play Two Games at Fresno During Winter.

H. Flint of the athletics com- mittee. The coaching board, according to Dr. Flint, will not be as complicated as "the one at first talked of. It will consist of a head coach and two assist- | ant coaches, all to be elected by the ex- ecutive committee. The head coach and assistants will then choose two other | eld football men to act with' them, these five to constitute the board. The head coach, as chairman of the board, will have full power over the field, and the work of the board will be both strategic and advisory. The second eleven of the University of California will play the winners of the Fresno district at Fresno on No- vember 27 and New Year's day.

Left With Kisses on Hjg Lip3 and Suit Immediately Follows. i Oakland Office San Francisco 1118 Broadway, Nov From the snows of Alaska Harvey | Beckwith has come to Oakland to an- s\.\‘er a divorce complaint filed agains him by Matilda Beckwith. He claims that he left here six months ago with the kisses of his wife fresh upon his lips, and that she never intimated that she was getting him out of the way so she could secure a divo. A month ago Mrs. Beckwith was given a default judgmer against her husband, and the matter was referred to the Court Commissioner for the pur- pose of taking the evidence. Beckwith claims that the entire matter has been conducted through fraud ana misrep- resentation, and that on y chance did he come to know the action against him. Beckwith says he left here last June for Dawson City, to be gone for six months. He says his wife aided him | in his arrangements to leave and wrote to him during his absence in answer to letters written by him, but never a word about the divorce. Thirty days after he left the complaint was filed, she claiming that he failed to provide for her. He now asks that the default judg- ment be set aside and that he be al- lowed to answer the suit. He claims that as soon as he heard of the divorce he set out for Oakland.
