NARROW ESCAPE [FREE THINKERS OF SIX PERSONS| Launch Breaks Down and| for a Night and Half a Day | Drifts About in the Ocean | LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.—Adrift all | the night and half of the day on the ocean off Point Fermin in a broken down launch, without water or pro- visions, and slowly floating farther themselves, was the experience of a party of six persons, three men and three women, who were picked up at noon to-day about two miles off the | breakwater by the steamer James S Higgins, bound to San Pedro from Eu- reka. One of the party, Captain Tom Ol- sen, suffered so much from the fright and exposure that he became tempor- arily 1 ne and it is feared he may not recover. The party put out from San Pedro at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the launch Ramona, with Harry Lunch as skipper. The passengers were: Mrs. Ellen Kissee and her sister, Mrs, Sha of East San Pedro, Miss Louise Freeby of Long Beach, Captain Tom Olsen of J. Aroff of San Pedro. A mile off | Point Fermin the engine stopped. In a struggle to stop .the seaward drift the thwarts were ripped from their places and converted into crude paddles. Then the rain began. Cold and penetrating it came down steadily { all through the night. About noon to- day the steamer James S. Higgins sighted the drifting party, picked the unfortunates up in a terribly exhausted condition and brought them in. ——e———————— ‘.\flSTAKl-lQ MAN FOR DEER | AND FIRES FATAL SHOT !

The | im with others was hunting deer and became separated from the party. He made a slight noise and an over- | zealous nimrod, thinking a deer was in the bushes, fired.

The Pope, in his letter to Cardinal Respighi, the Vicar General of the Pontiff, said: A new cause of bitterness has been added to anxieties which, especlally in our npany the government of the uni- ed that the cultivators have mét in Rome, while ful_echo of their speeches is unfor- y confirmed by their grim signs. In- ce s the noblest gift the Creator has us, but it becomes sacrilegious when ted from dependency on the Almighty cting the direction and comfort of di- or T vine truth. The Pope says the insylt was ren- dered the more grave by the free thinkers meeting in Rome, the city which had been destined as a deposi- tory of the faith, thus taking from Rome fits designation as the tranquil, respected see of Christ’s vicar. “We, therefore,” the Pope adds, “will make ours the offense offered to God, gathering in our heart all its bitter- ness.” The Pope recognizes that even on this occasion God sent comfort through the manifestation of filial affection re- ceived yesterday from the 10,000 mem- bers of the Catholic Association of French youths, but he wishes to have in Rome a solemn function of atone- ment for the outrage of divine majes- ty and for the vindication of the honor and good name of the city. e e —— SEVENTY-FIVE FOUNDLINGS LEAVE NEW YORK FOR WEST Little Charity Wards Start in Spe- cial Car for New Homes in Ne- braska and Arizona. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Amid scenes of weeping, seventy-five chil- | dren have taken their departure from the New York Foundling Asylum for new homes in the West, secured by agents of the charity. The children were taken from the home by Fifth-avenue stages and placed aboard a special passenger car, in which they are now speeding west- ward, bound for Nebraska and Ari- zona. All are from three to five years old. A large crowd gathered to see them start, while wealthy patronesses of the institution looked on with moist eyes and the nurses who had reared the little ones were deeply affected. — MINERS LOST IN WILDS OF TRINITY DURING STORM Follow Wounded Bear, Lose Trail and Wander About Mountains x for Hours. REDDING, Sept. 26.—Miners Wil- liam Delarose and James H. Strange of Happy Valley, this county, were lost in the wilds of Trinity County, in the vicinity of Minersville, during the storm of Friday. . They decided to go out hunting last Friday. The skies looked threatening, but theysfelt safe. - After going a short distance they wounded a bear. They started after the animal and suddenly realized they were lost. They tramp- ed over the mountains all day without finding the town of Minersville and finally after dark Delarose declared hs cculd go no farther. He was worn out and suffering from cold. The miners had but one match and with this they started a fire. At day- break they found the trail to Miners- ville. —_——et—— TRIES TO STAB DOCTOR WHO LANCES HIS CHEEK Patient of Ukiah Physiclan Makes Murderous Assault Upon Medico After Undergoing Operation. UKIAH, Sept. 26.—Dr. G. A. Woelf- fel of Willits was called to his office one day last week by a Greek, who had a badly swollen cheek, which he wished lanced. The doctor lanced the cheek and had turned to cleanse the blade of his instrument when the pa- tient seized another lance from a case of surgical instruments and struck at him. Woelffel warded off the blow, which was aimed at his heart, but be- fore he could disarm his asailant he received a dangerous cut in the left forearm. The Greek then fled and of- ficers have been unable to locate him. He is supposed to have been insane, as no other reason can be assigned for his assault on the doctor. Picture Frames.

Russian Naval Journal Admits That Task Is Hopeless. ——— ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26.—The naval organ, Kotlin, to-day publishes an article predicting that Rear Admiral Wiren will attempt to break out of Port Arthur with his ships and return to Europe. The paper admits that the task of escaping from Admiral Togo appears to be hopeless, if one takes for comparison Admiral Cervera's attempt to get away from Santiago, but adds that Wiren's men, unlike the Spanlards, have plenty of experience. The Russ and the Invalid, both re- ferring in a matter of fact tone to the Imperial rescript issued on Sunday, simply say it was necessitated by the fact that the Manchurian army has grown beyond the size which even Na- poleon found one man could handle successfully. The Russ adds the hope that Gen- eral Kuropatkin will be allowed to as- sume supreme command and thus reap the fruits of ultimate victory, for which he has so long carefully and self-sacrificingly prepared.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 26.—Two ne- groes were killed and three fatally in- jured In a race rjot near Lynchburg, Miss., fifteen miles south of Memphis, to-day. The shooting took place on the plantation of J. J. Johnson. The latter with his two sons and two friends went into a fleld to gather a load of corn. The fleld was worked on shares by a negro family named Kin- ney. As the white men were driving their wagon from the fleld a fusillade from a party of blacks met them. The fire was returned with the result that two negroes were killed outright and three were fatally shot. A number of whites joined the white party and are now searching for others of the attacking party. The names of the dead and wounded are not obtainable. —_————————— SAN FRANCISCO WOMAN DROWNS HERSELF IN LAKE Mary H. Eastwood Ends Visit to Pa- cific Grove by Taking Her Life. MONTEREY, Sept. 26.—The body of Mary H. Eastwood of San Fran- cisco was found in Del Monte Lake this afternoon. It is evidently a case of suicide. The woman had been vis- iting friends in Pacific Grove and on Saturday announced her intention of returning home and left. Where she put in the time between Saturday af- ternoon and Monday noon cannot be ascertained. The woman was about 45 years of age and her apparel indicates at least comfortable circumstances. The remains are in Oliver's Morgue awaliting’ the arrival of her husband, who has been notified. No cause is assigned for the woman’s deed by her relatives here. “INSIDE INFORMATION" IS GIVEN SUPERVISORS SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 26.—The| Board of County Supervisors at a busy session to-day received a startling bit of information in the shape of a let- ter from a Pomona man, who falled to sign his full name, announcing that there was a movement on foot to cut slices off the counties of Los Angeles and San Bernardino and build there- with another county. The writer, who professes to have “inside information,” says that Pasa- dena will be the county seat of the new county, although Pomona has ambitions in that direction. ———— Major Adams Is Dead.

General Kuroki Is Attempting to Seize and Cross the Hun River Many Miles to the Eastward of -Mukden. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26‘—Thel cause of the extreme deliberation in the Japanese advance on Mukden was explained by a dispatch from General Kuropatkin this afternoon, which in- dicates that Field Marshal' Oyama has not yet concentrated his forges. Fresh troops are constantly arriving at Ben- slaputze, while others which recently reached Liaoyang are marching up the Taitse River to Sianchan. These reinforcements, presumably, come from Japan. As soon as the fourth Japanese army, at Sianchan, is suffi- ciently strong, it is now evident, the Japanese intend to resort to their fa- vorite flanking tactics, move a formid- able array again Kuropatkin's left and ccmpel the evacuation of Sintsintin. They evidently are reconnoitering the ground over which the Sianchan army will march up and cross the river. Meanwhile General Kuroki is trylng to seize and cross the Hun River far east of Mukden. Thence he will move down the river and co-operate with the fourth army from Sianchan, while Oku and Nodzu engage Kuropat- kin's attention south of Mukden. The attacks on Da Pass and Sanlungku on September 20 were the first symptoms of this vast flanking movement. Kuropatkin now reports that Jap- anese scouts have been encountered near the Hun River, half way to Muk- den, trying to seize Kaoutou Pass, ten miles northeast of Bentslaputze, in or- der to clear the way to Fushun, and that Oku's and Nodzu's outposts have been engaged in heavy skirmishing with Cossacks near Inpu, between Bentslaputze and the rallroad. s RS L CONTRABAND ISSUE UNSETTLED. Russia Awaits the Next Move by the United States. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26.— Neither the United States nor Great Britain has renewed diplomatic repre- sentations to Russia on the question of contraband. In diplomatic circles here interest is felt over the ultimate issue. It is hardly believed here that either the United States or Great Britain pur- poses to allow the matter to rest in its present aspect. ‘While the Washington Government won a distinct victory in the decision of the commission regarding contra- band, which in effect recognized Secre- tary Hay's contention that the jword “enemy” in the Russlan declaration be interpreted “‘Government or forces'” and not “ports or territory,” and spe- cifically mentioned articles as contra- band, it is thought the American Gov- ernment will still refuse to acquiesces in the placing of cotton, fuel and rail- road, telegraph and telephone material in the list of absolute contraband. Nevertheless, in view of the assur- ances given as to the future, and espe- clally in view of the naval situation in the Far East, which has removed any pressing danger to American com- merce with Japan, the authorities ex- pect that the United States will await the decision of the appeal from the tribunal in the Calchas and Arabla czses before proceeding further. If the decision be unsatisfactory and rep- resentations are renewed, there is rea- son to believe that Russia would con- cede the point regarding cotton. AL A TANG GIVEN HIGH POWER. Yale Chinese Graduate to Deal With the Tibetan Problem. e Call and New York spf{cel:mf:flggpyfin? 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. PEKING, Sept. 26.—By imperial edict Tang, the customs taotal at Tientsin, has been promoted to the rank of brevet deputy lieutenant gen- eral and ordered to proceed to Tibet to investigate and deal with Tibetan affairs. Tang is a Yale graduate and one of China’s shrewdest officers. He is op- posed to foreigners. By this promo- tion he outranks the Chinese Amban resident in Tibet, as well as all Chi- nese Ministers abroad, being the third grade in the civil and the second grade in the military hierarchy. As the Amban has signed the Anglo-Ti- betan agreement, which China pro- tests as an infringement of her ex- clusive rights, Tang’s appointment may be considered as China’s answer to the British demands. R R BITTER TOWARD JAPAN. Famous War Writer Denounces Treat- ment Accorded Him. HONOLULU, Sept. 26. — Melton Prior, the British newspaper corre- spondent, who arrived here to-day on the Pacific Mail steamship Mongolia from Yokohama, says he feels abso- lutely certain that the war in the Far East will lead to European complica- tions and to the most awful war in the world's history. Prior complains that Japan has displayed bad faith toward all the correspondents. This, he says, is his twenty-seventh cam- paign and it is the only one in which he has seen nothing. He believes that, with the possible exception of the bat. tle of Liaoyang, not one correspondent has seen a shot fired, and he even doubts if the Liaoyang fighting was witnessed by a newspaper man. Other correspondents are returning on the Mongolia. Richard Harding Davis is going to the United States by way of Victoria. i 2TV EREN ADVANCE GUARD REPULSED. Japanese Fail in an Attempt to Oc- cupy Kaoutou Pass. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26.—Gen- eral Sakharoff, in a dispatch dated yesterday, telegraphs that the Japan- ese advance guard during the last few days attempted to occupy Kaoutou Pass, commanding the road to Fu- shun, but were repulsed by a detach- ment of the Russian advance guard. On the south front all was quiet, though shots were exchanged daily and skirmishes occurred between the advance posts. iy e ' JAPANESE HUMANITY. Spared During Port Arthur Naval Battle. ST.

The Mongolia was twice cut off from the squadron, but the Japanese sig- naled her to steer to the left, which | she did. Once the Mongolia was be- tween two fires and frequently the| Japanese torpedo-boats passed quite | close to her, but she was not attacked | throughout the fight and returned safely to Port Arthur. i 7 4y RS Chinese Face Food Shortage.

Quite naturally, the question arose as to how soon the President might call | the conference. He did not indicate, in his address, the probable time of his issuance of the call, but it can be| stated that he will not await the con- clusion of peace between Japan and Russia, both signatories to The Hague convention, before issuing his call. It is his present intention, in about six weeks, to bring the matter to the at- tention of the nations of the world, with a view to ascertaining their de- sires as to the time and place of hold- ing the second conference. These pre- liminary inquiries will be made through the Department of State. As soon | thereafter as the replies received shall warrant, the President will issue his formal call for the conference, which probably will be early In the coming year. . poul IR BERLIN INTERESTED. German Foreign Office in Sympathy With Mr. Roosevelt’s Plan. BERLIN, Sept. 26.— President Roosevelt's announcement Saturday of his intention to call a second peace conference of t}e nations of the world, whose work sHould be supplemental to that of The Hague arbitration con- ference, attracts much attention here. The Foreign Office expresses itself generally as sympathetic- toward the idea if the President’s propositions are confined to practical, tangible meas- ures, without attempting anything like general disarmament or an adjudica- tion of the difficulties which touch the sovereignty and honor of states, as would be involved in any scheme of compulsory arbitration. Among the foreign embassies here it was learned by a representative of | the Assoclated Press that the idea of an international peace conference during the Russo-Japanese war would be considered inopportune by Russia, as questions now under controversy between Russia and several of the neutral powers would most likely come before it. The necessity for a conference after the war to define contraband and the extent to which neutrals may assist belligerents by the sale of ships and munitions is fully recognized. EERE VUREIES GREAT BRITAIN APPROVES. Authorities in London Would Send Representative to The Hague. LONDON, Sept. 26.—The Foreign Office has received no officlal intima- tion from Washington of the intention of President Roosevelt to call a second peace conference at The Hague. It states if such an invitation is extend- ed undoubtedly Great Britain will be represented. It is suggested, however, that the President, when he extends the invitation, will fix a date so that the meeting will take place after Jap- an and Russia have arranged for peace. ————— e BURGLARS LOOT STORE AND THEN APPLY MATCH BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 26.—Burg- lars looted the China grade roadhouse on the oil fleld road last night and after carrying away whatever was portable set fire to the bullding and burned it to the ground.

Wright, Governor of the Phil- ippines, in which Wright discusses frankly some of the conditions which he encountered in directing the govern- Under date of August 15 General Wright wrote in part as follow: The continued dfscussion of the capacity of the Filipino for self-government is having its | effect here and makes our task more difficult than it otherwise would be. The less a man is equipped with intelligence and those quali- ties which make for good citizenship, the more easily can he be persuaded that he is the possessor of all these qualities. These people have their full share of ambition and vanity and they also have their full share of reck less, half-formed characters, who are ready for intrigue in any direction which promises them profit or power. It is this class which bas largely given force and direction to the Aglip: movement and has recruited fits ranks from the ignorant and dangerous ele- ments, In this general jonnection I may say to you, 8s u matter of information, that the agitation dn the United States for Filipino independence and the spoken and written utterances of prominent men there, who are urging it, are all brought here and published in the native newzpapers and are being made the text for editorfals insisting that the Philippine people !l're now ready to become an independent na- on. The effect of all this is distinctly injurious. Its tendency is to renew the influence of old insurrection leaders and make them active in preaching the old propaganda. This, In turn, has the effect of demoralizing and weak- ening the more conservative and thoughtful Filipinos, who fear that if they speak out as they reaily think they would be considered the enemies of their people and lose their prestigs with them. Those of the more prominent and better educated who naturally have their am- bitions, are inciined to join in the general cry. —_———— SANTA FE ENGINEER IS KILLED IN SALOON ROW Tragedy Excites Raillroad Men at Trinidad, Colo., Where the Mur- derer Is Under Arrest.
