BOULDER CREEK, June 2.—A fish- ing trip to the Big Basin nearly had a tragic ending for two young men from Oakland, Bowes and Gardiner, plumb- ers in the employ of Fay & Co. Spend- ing Saturday night at Bloom’s mill, seven miiles from Boulder Creek, they started early Sunday morning for the west fork of the Waddell, a stream famous for fishing, under the directions { of Guide XKohlberg. The fishing grounds reached the gui wag dismissed and | starting alone down the stream the young men were lured farther away from th eir starting point. As Gard- iner stated this evening, after filling their baskets they wandered through the dense forest, admiring the beauti- ful trees, and when it was time to re- turn took the wrong trail and were hapelessly lost in the famous chalk ridge country, where every guich and hill looks alike. Bowes, who is of a very nervous temperament, became greatly alarmed. Crawling into a hol- low Jog they sought to sleep, but | Bowes, in his excited state, grew worse and by morning was delirious. Their | continued absence caused alarm and several searching parties were sent out | from the mill. One of the parties, un- der the command of Walter Bloom, found them some twelve miles from the mill, exhausted and worn out. They were placed upon stretcners and car- ried to the mill, where medical at- tention was given them, and in a few days they will be able to return to | Oakland. | st~ S | DECIDES IMPORTANT SUIT | IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT Reverses Lower Tribunal in the Sugar Cases. NEW YORK, June 2.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day handed down a decision in favor of the Government in the case of the United States vs. Bartram Bros., Ben- jamin Howell & Co. and the Amgrican Sugar Refining Company, holding that sugar imported into this country was assessable on a scale based on the poleriscopic test made in a tempera- ture of 25 degrees centigrade. The de- cision reversed the Circuit Court’s rul- ing and sustained the opinion of the | Board of United States General Ap- praisers. In importance the case ranks | second to none in customs laws and | involves directly more than 10,000 protests of importers throughout the country. ———— DISCOVERS A MICROBE WHICH CAUSES PHTHISIS | Professor Schron, Who First Found | Life in Crystals, Gives an Impor- | tant Demonstration. | NAPLES, June . — Professor | Schron, the discoverer of life in crys- tals, gave a public demonstration to- day that he had found a new mi- crobe, which causes phthisis—a mi- crobe quite different from that caus- ing tuberculosis. Professor Schron | afirms that this discovery explains why Dr. Koch’s serum not only did inot cure phthisis, but aggravated it. ————,— | Murderer Is Electrocuted in Ohfo. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 2.—Carl Berg, sentenced to death for the mur- der of John Geuford at Wauseon, | Ohio, in July, 1903, was electrocuted |in the annex at the Ohio penitentiary |at 12:05 a. m. e efhded as it did. Budd came near going to the hospital with a broken jaw. Tarpey is good with his right hand and clever with both feet, if he isn't ambidexterous.” B FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN WHITE AND COLORED MEN | United States Circuit Court of Appeals i | One Man Is Killed and Two Others Receive Wounds That Cause Their Deaths. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 2.—A | fight occurred at midnight in a res- |taurant on Central street. As a re- sult one man is dead and two mor- tally wounded. Constable G. G. Gam- ble and T. W. McCarthy were eating when Lum and Wash Miller, negroes, tame into the place and asked for something to eat. McCarthy ordered the negroes to wait until he and Gamble finished. {8hooting at once began. Lum was |shot by Gamble and killed, but not | till he had shot Gamble in the abdo- men and in the leg. Wash Miller was shot through the right arm and in the chest by a negro named Cook, who was trying to hit Constable Mc- | thorities | ern Carthy. The two wounded men can live but a few hours.

LONDON, June steamer Haimun 3.~The Times returned to Chefu yesterday from a cruise in Kinchou Bay. The correspondent aboard learn- ed from Port Arthur refugees that the native and civilian population get only such food as arrives on junks from Chinese ports or what they them- selves have secreted. The military su- requisitioned all available food. On half rations it is estimated that the garrison has enough for five months. The five damaged warships moored at the Port Arthur jetties, the corre-| spendent learns, have been denuded of | everything movable. Lieutenant Gen- eral Stossel retains a large number of | junks in the roadstead. The objec: of | this measure can only be conjectured. | The correspondent says: “Eye tnesses of the battle of Kin- chou describe it as an unprecelented military spectacle. Forty thousand Japanese were massed behind ihe west- spur of Mount Samson, under such small cover as was afforded by | the twin peaks. The troops were with- | in 2000 yards of the Russian works. There was so little room to deploy for attack Ahat battalions of Japanes troops’ were obfiged to stand in the sea, waiting for the momant of at- tack, exposed to a veritable inferno! of fire from the Russian batteries. The | shells plowed into their mass2s. “Meanwhile battery after battery of Japanese guns went into action upon | the Chilishwang and the Kauchiayan flats and a sustained gunboat fire layed upon the Russian works. Their lines were fringed with bursting pro- jectiles. About midday the energy of the Russian defenders in the works in front of Mauchiaying village seemed exhausted by the gunboat fire. Two Japanese battalions appeared over the saddle between the peaks and made a desperate effort to carry the nearest Russian works. At first the straggling walls of Mauchiaying gave them some cover and a moment’s breathing space. Then the gallant little infantrymen crept again up the slopes toward the Russian position. It was an impossible task. As yet the defenders had not been sufficiently shaken. An avalanche of concentrated fire from infantry in the trenches, machine guns in the Rus- sian works and quick-firing fleld ar- | tillery in the supporting defenses | struck the Japanese. They melted away from the glacis like solder before the lame of a blowpipe. A few, who seemed to have charmed lives, strug- gled on until they reached the wire en- tanglements. “It was in vain. Heroic effort was wasted. Within fifteen minutes those two battalions ceased to exist, except as @strail of mutilated bodies at the foot#of the Russian glacis. “Seeing the failure of this attack, the gunboats and supporting artillery concentrated the whole of their fire upon the point where General Oku had determined to drive home his wedge, and by evening the works were prac- ticable for an assault by a general who had such infantry as the Japanese and i south of Anju. who was prepared to take the responsi- bility of such fearful losses. “The word was given for a bayonet attack. Then the whole Japanese front surged forward and the moral balance went over to the side of the Japanese, the Russians retiring before them.” 4 P e RUSSIA’S KINCHOU LOSSES. Thirty Officers and - Eight Hundred Men Killed or Wounded. ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.—A semi- official telegram from Mukden, dated to-day, says the Russian losses at the battle of Kinchou on May 26 were thirty officers and 800 men killed or wounded. The guns abandoned by the Russians were first rendered useless. According “to information in pos- session of the general staff, the enemy has five divislons and five reserve corps, about 80,000 men, on the Liao- | tung peninsula, and at least seven di- visions and geven reserve corps, or about 125,000 men, in Southern Man- churia. Although the impression pre- vailed among the members of the gen- eral staff that General Kuroki's pur- pose was to make feints to prevent General Kuropatkin moving, but not to attack him until the result of the campaign against Port Arthur was de- termined, there is now apparently more inclination to believe he will try a demonstration in force, which might result in a decisive engagement. The Japanese commander is constantly shifting his columns back and forth to conceal his real purposes, the latest reports received being that he has again abandoned Saimatzsa, north of Fengwangcheng. All the reports received at General Kuropatkin's headquarters from the Kwantung peninsula are increasing the extent of the Japanese losses at Kin- chou, one to-day making the number at about 20,000 men. 22 G RUSSIAN RAIDERS ACTIVE. Supply Ships and Capture Provision Trains. VLADIVOSTOK, June 2.—Letters from the theater of war report that the Russian raiders have succeeded in penetrating as far as Gensan and also They have destroyed depots of Japanese supplies and cap- tured provision trains. Koreans are fieeing to Manchuria to escape the hardships of war. Chinese are moving from Kwantung into Northern Man- churia in order to avold living in terri- tory under Japanese control. e NAVAL BATTLE PROMISED. ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.—It can be predicted safely that the Russian squadron at Port Arthur will not wait until the last moment before going out. The Admiraity seems to entertain no fear, if the situation there becomes desperate, that the squadron will be caught like a rat in a trap. Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's dispatch, glven out yesterday, gave assurances Destroy 2 RECEPTION TE BY NDERED TEACHERS' Officials of Educational Department Pleasantly Entertained at Steinway Hall. Not all of the teachers in San Fran- cisco nor half of them were present last night in Steinway Hall at the re- ception given, by the San Francisco Teachers’ Club to the officers of the School Department and other city of- ficials having duties concerning the schools. The comparatively small at- tendance and the lateness of those who responded to the invitation in arriving were the only things to mar an otherwise most delightful affair. The guests were cordially greeted by A. L. Mann, president of the club, and among the notable educators in attendance were State Superintendent of Public Instruction Thomas J. Kirk, Dr. Frederic Burk, president of the San Francisco Normal School; City Superintendent William H. Langdon, Deputy City Superintendent A. E. Mc- Curda and City Engineer Thomas D. Woodward, former president of the, Board of Education. Others appeared during the evening and with the teachers present and their friends en- joyed to the utmost the fine musical programme rendered under the direc¢- tion of Miss Estelle Carpenter, super- visor of music in the city schools. " The programme follows: “The Fairy Love Song,” Miss Viola Van Orden; “Mazurka,” Miss Isabelle Seal; “The Swallows,” Miss E. Vacoucellos; solo, Mr. McCurda; “Flower Song” (Bevig-: nani), Miss Daisy Cohn; violin solo, CLUB Miss Isabelle Seal. —_————— Church People Enjoy Concert. A musical evening was enjoyed by the members and friends of the Fourth Congregational Church, Stockton and Green streets, last night. Every num- ber on the programme, whether votal, instrumental or orchestral, drew. forth |- the heartiest applause, as did also the admirable recitations of Miss Ethel Cotton. The Occidental Male Quartet rendered its selections with excellent judgment and Miss Tibbetts and Miss Hucks sang a serenade by Delibes de- lightfully. W. F. Christ and Mr. Le Noir sang the duet, “Guala,” :and the Chinese Girls' Quartet was a feature. STEEL SCISSORS FREE TO CLASSIFIED ° ADVERTISERS. IN SUNDAY EDITION.

Thursday night is the meeting time of the union, but as the commission is to decide to-day what shall be done in the way of granting persgits no action was taken beyond the order that all union men and union owners wear their colors. The majority of the shoe workers have decided to return to work. There are a few who will stand out, but the union has decided against them. Those who fail to return to work will be suc- ceeded by men named by the Interna- tional Union. It looks now as if the troubles be- tween the leather workers and their employers are about to terminate/ Open shop cards have been called off and it appears as if there is to be a mutual understanding. - All questions between the teleg- raphers and the Southern Pacific have passed. An advance was granted the men and as that was the only conten- tention there was nothing further to do. Lingmen who work for the city will be allowed time off for all over- time, but they will not get extra pay. That question was settled at a meeting of the Police and Fire Commission last night. e | FIND HOMES yOR BABIES IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION ‘Health Inspectors Report Startling Condition of Private Institutions for Care of Infants. Deputy Health Officer Adler yester- day filed a report with the health of- ficer showing that he had, together with Auxlliary Inspector White, in- vestigated several private homes for ‘babies and found, them in a deplor- able condition. At the place of Mrs. O'Hern, 731 Folsom street, the re- port says, a sick baby suffering with ‘enteritis was found and ordered re- moved to better surroundings. At the place of Mrs. Bridley, 756 Folsom ‘| street, there were four children rang- ing from four months to five years, who were in filthy beds and in rags. At another baby home two adults were found intoxicated and the baby inmates were poorly cared for. —_——— Hangs Himself in Park. H. W. Charles, a carpentér about 65 years of age, committed suicide by | ‘hanging himself from a tree in Gold- en Gate Park last evening. Little is |known about the suicide except his name and the fact that he is a mem- ber of the Carpenters’ Union. A card || on this point. A portion, which was made public, said that every ship ex- cept the Pobieda was now ready to go to sea at a moment’s notice and that the channel was clear. He confirmed the belief which existed here, that the | Japanese will continue their efforts to block the channel before the decisive moment to storm the fortress on the land side arrives, and has made plans accordingly. In the opinion of the most compe- tent military critics the land fortifica- tions must be breached before a gen- eral assault can be risked and that is not considered possible-in less than ten weeks. A g ot Prince Dolgorouky May Be Exiled. ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.—Foreign Minister Lamsdorff refuses to make a complaint against Prince Dolgorouky, who committed a personal assault on vening.

If the medical authorities decide that his mental derangement s not sufficient to warrant his incarceration in an asy- lum he probably will be forbidden to live in St. Petersburg. — McCormick May Take a Rest. ST. PETERSBURG, June Z2.—Spen- cer F. Eddy, secretary of the United States Embassy, has gone to Paris on a three weeks' visit to his mother, who recently recovered from a severe ill, ness. Shortly after his return, if.the conditions permit, Embassador Mc- Cormick and Mrs. McCormick will go to Carlsbad for a month's sojourn. EYE-WITNESSES DESCRIBE AWFUL SLAUGHTER OF JAPANESE PRECEDING CAPTURE OF KINCHOU/ ALM{_LU]OURS Alexieff Succeeds in Com- pelling Kuropatkin to Advance. General Is Forced to Act Against His Better Judgment. PARIS, June 3.—The correspondent of the Echo de Paris at St. Petersburg telegraphs: “Viceroy Alexieff and General Kuro- patkin having asked the Emperor to settle their, dispute, his Majesty sum- moned a council of war, including Min- ister of War Sakharoff, Marine Minis- | ter Avellan and Minister of the Interior Plehwe. The council debated for sev- eral hours at Tsarskoe-Selo. “I have reason to belleve that the necessity of preserving the naval base at Port Arthyr, and the lost prestige that the fall of Port Arthur would en- tail were the arguments that prevailed in the council. General Kuropatkin therefore has been advised to attempt to relleve the fortress, but to act with council said: ‘If Kuropatkin is weak | enough to advance he will commit a serious blunder. The number of his troops is insufficient and the conditions under which he would aet would be un- favorable. He might meet an almost irreparable reverse and Port Arthur be further from relief than éver. If we try to relieve Port Arthur we will be doing exactly what the Japanese hope.” " ———————— STOCKTON, June 2. — Charles Wagner, a bicyele thiet, and Ch: Jobnson, who passed a_forged check for a small amount, were given three and four years, respectively, in San Quentin to-day, after pelading gul SHIPS OF WAR Chiefs Are Sent to Urge the Bandit Raissouli to Release His Prisoners IN FEAR OF INVASION Sultan’s Subjects Believe Attempt Will Be Made to Seize Their Country St T TANGIER, Morocco, June 2.—The Italian third-class cruiser Dogali ar- rived here to-day. A delegation of chiefs of the Angerra tribe has left here to make a personal appeal to Raissouli, the vandit chief, to release Perdicaris andq Varley, “In order to prevent the debarkation and permanent occupation of Moroceo by forelgners opposing the Moslem faith and the expulsion of native Moham- medans.” This mission is considered important, as the Mohammedan chiefs unite in appealing to Raissoull not to endanger their religious supremacy in Morocco. The French Government relies much upon the appeal to Mohammedan sen- timent. The natives are greatly excited by the arrival of so many foreéign war- ships. They call all forergners “Rou- mis,” meaning infldels, and they fear the “Roumis” are about to make a united éffort to drive out those who are of the Mohammedan faith. Rear Admiral Jewell and United States Consul General Gummere visited the representatives of the Sultan, Mo- hammed E! Torres, at noon and were saluted by the town battery.
