It is known that the place where the Shearwater is sup- posed to have gone ashore is fre- quently visited by American revenue cutters, which could render valuable assistance. The Shearwater is a sister ship to the ill-fated Condor, which foundered with all on board in collision with the collier Matteawan off Cape Flattery two or three years ago. ————————— TAKES LIFE AFTER TRYING TO KILL FOUR PERSONS Oregon Man Shoots Wife, Her Mother, His Sister-in-Law and His Little Child.

Stew- art, former Sheriff, to meet him at the west dine of the graveyard on Mount Pisgah road some day next week to settle differences. Glover leaves the choice of time to Stewart, but savs he prefers a date later than Monday, as he has an en- gagement on that day. Glover has been a prominent figure in the Cripple Creek troubles. At one time he defied the militia and was wounded in the arm in an assault on him. 5 Last Friday Glover abused Stewart and Stewart struck him between the eyes knocking him down and giving a very black hue to both optics.

DEPARTMENT | SWEEPING FRAUD ORDER Postoffice Refuses Use of Mails to All Agents of Preferred Mercantile Company of Boston. BOSTON, Sept. 16.—A sweeping fraud order, probably the most radical and far-reaching in its effects ever issued by the Postoffice Department, was is- sued to-day against the agents of the Preferred Mercantile Company of Bos- rest, charged with « using the United States mails for fraudulent purposes. The men affected are scattered al¥ over the country and have been acting as lo- cal agents for the Preferred Mercantile Company, transacting its business un- der their own names because of the company’s mail being held up here. The list includes J. W. Baker, San Francisco; R. E. Farnum, Bakersfield; W. A. Gerdes, San Jose; A. J. Walker, San Leandro; M. Foster, Qakland; Henry Walker, Los Angeles; F. B. Ja- cobs, Salt Lake; E. E. Wright, Boise, Idaho; M. M. Olney, Spokane; George O. Smith, Seattle; H. R. Mitchner, El Paso, Tex.; J. H. Coleman, Denver; E. J. Lake, Colorado Springs, and James G. Bass, Portland, Or. So strong is the ban that the relatives or wives of these men cannot reach them by mail, for no discrimination is made between busi- ness and personal mail. Their business consisted in selling leases on diamonds and watches at $1 10 per week, each contract maturing paying the holder $200 cash or a $200 diamond. ———— ARIZONA OFFICER CLEVERLY CAPTURES A MURDERER As Pretended Purchaser of Rifie, Deputy Gets Possession of the Desperado’s Gun. PRIESCOTT, Sept. 16.—Andres »sus- tamente, who murdered Justice J. E. Reynolds at Crown King last Friday night, was lodged in jail here to-day. He was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sherift Welch at Columbia. Busta- mente was armed with a rifle and a six-shooter at the time of the arrest. He did not know Welch was an officer and the latter, under the pretext of buying the rifle, was permitted to.take the gun to examine it. Immediately on getting possession of the gun Welch drew it on the desperado and commanded him to throw up his hands, which he did. He was then disarmed. Bustamente confessed to the killing, but claims self-defense. — ey SANTA FE IS VICTORIOUS IN ARIZONA LEGAL FIGHT Court Dissolves Injunction Preventing Construction of Line Along the Gila River.

M. Combes has made one or two errors of policy and many grievances are harbored against him by the politicians of different stripes that make up his working majority. Advantage is being taken of this state of things for all it is worth by a re- cently formed coalition, of which M. Millerand is the organizing and di- recting spirit. As it is pretty well known by. this | time, M. Combes and his Ministery were only put up by the late M. Wal- | deck-Rousseau as temporary 'substi- tutes for himself ' and his friends and for the purpose of testing public opinion on the Anti-Clerical Associa-: tion act, and the Premier held himself in readiness to return, with all his colleagues, at the first emergency. But contrary to expectation the. Combes Ministry have stuck tenaciously .to office and maneuvered so cleverly that at present they hold: the“record of | longevity in French political history. Meanwhile Waldeck-Rousseau’s late associates are getting impatient at their long enforced inaction .and none more o than Millerand, whose recent attack on the Minister, under the pre- text of an interpellation on the work- men’'s old age pension scheme, to- gether with the subsequent accusation by innuendo of blackmail against M. Edgar Combes, nearly brought-about the Government resignation.. The at- tack, it is safe to prophesy, will'be re- newed before long: on some other question, and in the uncertain and intricate game of. French political in# trigue a catch-vote will be snatched at to secure a Government minority; and the Ministry, with that beautiful lack of logic which characterizés.pub- lic life in France, will resign and re- tire in dignified. protest. That is the opportunity M. Miller~ and foresees, and the Ministry he then expects to be asked to form is already constituted. He will be content with nothing less than the Premiership, making room for his old friend Michel Lagrave (the late French Commis- gioner at St. Louis, who has come out of the Carthusian inquiry with a very artificlal halo of martyrdom) in the Ministry of Commerce; Delcasse, who is a fixture, whatever else may change, will remain at the Foreign Office, and Georges Leygues, Waldeck-Rousseau’s Minister of Public Instruction, will be made Minister of the Interior. Lock- roy, Camille Pelletan’s merciless critic, will go back to the Marine, and it a condition of his support that he shall have the Colonies, with an espe- cial eye on Indo-China, which, with the Japanese war raging in the neigh- borhood, is giving the French a good deal of uneasiness. Chaumie, who has already made more than one conces- sion to the Moderates, will stick to his present portfolio of Public In- struction and Beaux-Arts. Millerand, like Waldeck-Rousseau, like. President Loubet himself, is a lawyer; indeed the bar furnishes no mean proportion of the public men of France. Commencing at a militant so- cialist, he first attracted attention by a series of very energetic articles in the labor press, notably .in the Petite Republique, which at that time was control led by Jaures. His chance came when Waldeck-Rousseau made his ad- 1 tulty of making his friends | him, though he appears to be discred- B! ot “Emmmmo(thtrm~ ALEXANDER MILLERAND, WHO ES TO THE PREMIERSHIP & REPUBLIC OF FRANCE. aristocratic favorite of the empire, al- ways remembered. rightly or wrongly. as the suppressor of the Commune, as the Minister of War, and Millerand. the socialistic journalistic free lance at the Ministry of Commegce. SOCIALISTS EXPEL HIM. Millerand's assumption of office— especially in such company—raised a storm of’ discussion in his party. It had long been an accepted tenet of the Soelalists - that their candidates’ mis- sion lay in opposition, and after many attempts at settlement the matter was brought to a head by Millerand's ac- ceptance of the .title of Baron at the hands of the Austrfan Government (at the ‘time of the exbosition of 1900, a period of forced ‘international ‘courte- sies). By a gziant yote of all the sec- tions of the Sociallst party his" actlon in taking a portfelio in a government already qualified as reactionary, was stigmatized as a betrayal of his prin- ciples, and he was called upon for an explanation before their congress as- sémbled. 'He gave his explanation, but @d not resign office, and after a good deal of - fire and fury on both sides he was solemnly exnelled from the Social- ist.party. £ Like Jaures, Millerand's ideas are developing toward comnromise. He can admit arrangement, for he has learned by -this time to acknowledge expedi- ency. Young still, ambitious and deter- mined, M. Millerand—Baron Miller- and—has become a factor in. French combinations and his audacious at- fempt to dethrone M. Combes shows that he does not intend to be ignored. Gifted - with -a persuasive forensic talent in special pleadings and the fac- work for ited among the bulk of the Republican majority, he is 'undoubtedly gathering innumerable followers in the other camp. Everything indicates that after the recess he will make another at- tempt, and this time with success, to bring the Ministry down, and will climb to power on its ruins. Undoubt- edly a man with a future, barring al- ways one. of those unfortunate acci- dents which are so frequently a feat- ure in the vaudeville of French politics, M. Millerand is emphatically-a man to be reckomed with, and the relentless struggle at present being waged be- tween. him and M. Combes is the most interesting number in the French po- litical arena. —_— ee———— GENERAL BALDWIN URGES REVIVAL OF THE CANTEEN Army Officer Declares That Brothels Near Post Entrances Are Re- sponsible for Desertions.
