The first sitting of the arbitration court on the Japanese house tax ques- tion was held to-day. The United States is interested ip the matter, although not a party to the present arbitration. The point at issue is the contention of Great Britain, France and Germany that Japan imposed taxes on buildings in the old foreign concessions, which, being perpetual leases, are exempt from texation. The United States and other powers having similar concessions will accept this award. M. Gram, president of the court, who fe one of the provincial Governors of Norway, at the opening of the proceed- ings congratulated the governments which by consenting to submit disputes to international jurisdiction had given fresh proof of their attachment to a great and noble cause. He regretted that the path of humanity along the road of progress wae full of obstacles, but added that happily the number of conventions forming fresh bonds be- tween nalions was daily increasing.

RUSSIANS LOSE DA PASS); Japanese Advancing Toward Sinsintin. Pontiloff Hill Regarded as a Blunder| Attack MUKDEN, Nov. 21.—The Russian detachments occupying Da Pass have retired before a Japanese column 1000 strong. The Japanese are reported to be advancing toward Sintsintin. Since the Japanese attack on Pouti- loff Hill on the night of November 18 no activity has been apparent. The character of the attack on Poutlloff, Hill is not fully understood beyond the fact that three or four battalions par- ticipated. It probably was made on { the initiative of the local command- er, without the consent of headquar- ters, and as an attack it can be fa- vorably regarded only in the light of a reconnaissance in force, This incident is the most important that has occurred since the battle of the Shakhe. Poutiloff Hill, which is now the center of interest of the en- tire line, could be seen flashing the signal of attack from her fortifications as the Japanese infantry advanced. On'account of repeated reports that the Japanese intended to attack on November 19 this assault was believed to be the signal for an advance of the entire line and consequently the en- tire Russian army, already on the qui vive, began its own hostile movements both east and west of Poutiloff Hill. The Japanese arrived within fifty vards of the Russian trenches. The Russlan fire was too deadly for a fur- ther advance. The next morning dis- closed about eighty Japanese dead, which the Russians buried on Satur- day. The Japanese succeeded in car- rying off in haste 200 wounded. The Russians lost a half dozen men in the irenches. Scouting operations on both sides resuit in daily encounters, sometimes between battalions, but the encounters are little more than skirmishes. The scouting is for the evident purpose of identifying opponents’ positions and local strength. The Russians continue to daily shell the Japanese position at Linshenpu. BERLIN, Nov. 21.—A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Mukden, un- der to-day’'s date, says: “The reconnaissance fights have as- sumed a more violent character dur- ing the last few days. Pargicularly hot was the fighting on Poutiloff (Lone Tree ) Hill, where the Japan- ese were repulsed with the loss of more than 100 killed. “All signs indicate that great events are imminent. The road to Sinmintin, owing to the excellent patrol service, is quite safe from -Chinese bandits, thus guaranteeing unhindered com- munication with Tientsin and estab- lishing & second line of intercourse with the outside world. “The health of the troops is excel- lent. The Russians Admire the clean- liness, perfect order and equipment of the Japanese. One does not see any trace of race hatred. It is a fact that the Japanese return, through French intermediation, all valuables found on dead Russians. This has made a deep impression here and is reciprocated.” ot BLOCKADE RUNNER SEIZED. German Steamship Batelan Captured 5 by Togo's Warships. TOKIO, Nov. 21.—The Navy De- partment reports the capture of the German steamship Batelan while she was attempting to run the Port Ar- thur blockade. The department says that at 3 o’clock on the morning of No- vember 19 a Japanese squadron cruis- ing off Yentao sighted a vessel steam- ing for Port Arthur. The gunboat Tatsu pursued and overtook the steamship at 5 o’clock in the morning. On board the vessel was found a great quantity of winter clothing, blank-ts, medicine and canned meats. Her captain saild he was bound for Newchwang. The route and cargo of the Batelan were considered to be suspicious and she was taken posses- sion of and brought to Sasebo. SHANGHAI, Nov. 21.—The former British steamship Thales, which was purchased by Germans, has been cap- tured by Japanese warships while at- tempting to run the blockade of Port Arthur and taken to Sasebo. The Thales had a cargo of clothes, blan- kets, medicines and an enormous quantity ‘of salt beef. It is highly probable that the Thales is the German steamship Batelan, which, as mentioned in a dispatch from Tokio to-day, was captured by the Japenese on the morning of No- vember 19 while steaming for Port Arthur. el BUILDING BLOWN UP. Twenty-Five Japanese Killc1 or Wounded by Grenades. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 21.—Gen- eral Kuropatkin, telegraphing under yesterday's date, reports a daring deed accomplished by four volunteers of a Russian patrol on November 16. While reconnoitering the patrol discovered a Chinese building occupled by twenty-five Japanese. Four riflemen volunteered to blow up the place, and, armed with grenades loaded with pyroxylin, the riflemen succeeded in evading the sentries, placed the grenades and retired undetected. A few minutes later the grenades ex- ploded and completely wrecked. the building. When Japanese reinforce- ments arrived they found all the oc- upants dead or wounded among the ruins. . SY e }EW VERSION OF THE AFFAIR. Sailors’ Alleged Account of the North Sea Incident. LONDON, Nov., 32.—The Daily Mail's Copenhagen correspondent re- counts a story from a, member of the crew of the Russian cruiser Au- rora to the effect that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s flagship, XKniaz Su- varoff, mistaken in the fog off Dogger Bank, bombarded the Aurora, where- upon the rora, signaling “We are being fired\ at,” herself fired 350 shells at the British trawlers and - the Russian flee P This informant distinctly avers that there were two Russian torped with the first division of the Baltic squadron, to which the Aurora - be- longed. ———— ALLEGED FIGHT AT SEA. LONDON, Nov. from Nagasaki gives a new version of the report of a sortie by torpedo-boat destroyers from Port Arthur. The correspondent of the KExoress says three boats left two days before the Rastoropny, carrying duplicates of a dispatch from General Stoessel. There were some badly wounded officers on board the boats, who preferred to risk their lives at sea to meeting certain death in the hospitals of Port Arthur. The Japanese cruiser Kasuga sank the first destroyer after a fight ldsting a half hour, in which all the Russians were shot or drowned. The cruiser Matsushima sank the second destroper twenty-five mils from Port Arthur, re- ceiving herself ' an ineffective blow from-a torpedo. The third boat was chased. Nothing in confirmation of the fore- going has come from Tokio. Presum- ably it is an exaggeration of the ru- mor that three vessels attempted a sortle with the Rastoropny and were driven back. PR UL JAPANESE GAIN GROUND. Capture a Count rp on Rihlung Mountain. TOKIO, Nov. 21.—Reliable sources report that the Japanese mined and occupied a counterscarp on Rihlung Mountain on November 15. * A dispatch from Tokio early to-day announced that the Japanese, after successful mining, had occupied a counterscarp on Sungshu Mountain on Friday, November 18. Rihlung Moun- tain is east of Sungshu Mountain. LN e Progress of Baltic Warships. CANEA, Island of Crete, Nov. 21.— The section of the Russian second Pa- eific squadron commanded by Vice Admiral Voelkersam salled this after- noon for Port Said. In this squadron are the battleships Sissoi Veliky and Navarin, the cruisers Jemchug and Almaz, the destroyers Blestiaschy, Bezumprechni, Bystri, Bravi, Bedovi and Buiny, and the transports Gortschkoff, Veronej, Vitai Tamboft, Kieff, Jupiter, Merkur and Viadimi- roff. Bahe e e Consul's Message Criticized. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 22, 2:45 a. m.—A special dispatch from Tien- tsin, printed here, stating that the American Consul at Chefu had warned the State Department at Washington of the imminence of the fall of Port Arthur, is received with much criti- cism, the allegation being made that the“dispatch was prompted by a de- dire to help the Japanese war loan. e A New Art Gallery.

At the meeting of the Christian church ministers yesterday morning in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. the Rev. P. C. Macfarlane presided and the Rev. Walter M. ‘White, D. D., spoke in enthusiastic terms of the outlook for the big gath- ering. The Rev. Frank S. Ford, the Rev. Mr. Boyer of Oakland, the Rev. Mr. Darst of Berkeley and Dr. J. P. Dar- gitz, State missionary of the Christian church, spoke of the great body of visitors expected here. Professor Landon addressed the Presbyterian Ministers’ Association yesterday and gave an interesting ac- count of the Pan-Presbyterian coun- cil which he attended recently in Liv- erpool. Among the things he told was the splendid reception given Presi- dent Roosevelt's message to the coun- cil, when Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irishmen, Welshmen and delegates from Switzerland vied with one an- other in doing honor to the chief ex- ecutive of the United States. Professor Landon told his hearers that he had found in a few instances that cigarette smoking was indulged in by ministers attending the council and while he could tolerate a pipe or a clgar he considered the use of the cigarette an abomination. One minis- ter actually found it necessary, he said, to go to the door frequently to indulge his habit of cigarette smok- ing. !Problem! of Present Day Preach- ing” was the theme of an address by the Rev. George A. Hough before the Methodist Ministers' Association yes- terday. Mr. Hough advocated less preaching on topical subjects and that kind of preaching which is meant simply to interest people on intellectual themes and advised more expository preach- ing of the work of God. i The Rev. L.,C. Meserve, D. D, in an address before the Ci egational Ministers’ Association yi rday spoke of the proposal to develop COTGCI- tionalism into a more centralized form and to ‘“stiffen it.” Dr. Meserve took the position that Congregationalism did not need “stiffening” or ‘“central- ization.” Under the present idea of social progress there is, he said, a vague conception of lifting the mass of peo- ple higher as a whole, but, said the doctor, that eould not be done. They could not get a lever long enough or a fulcrum strong enough to lift the weight, He considered that social progress must be secured by individ- ual uplift. —————————— Thanksgiving Day at Santa Cruz. .

E WANT OFR MONEY Backl BOY GIVEN 8 S e Had a Good Thing and We | Lost It, but There Are Oth-| ers; We'll Meet the Issue WE NEED THE MONEY e May Be Biting Off More Than We Can Chew, but We'll BeThere at the Finish | To those who may be interested in the purchase of a piano at this time, and| who have the spare cash at hand, we have a statement extraordinary to make, and one that we believe has never hereto- fore been made by any other piano con- cern in the United States, and which, no doubt, the music trade will consider at this time a reckless and risky thing to do, but as cash cuts an important figure with us just now, we have decided to make a bid for it by venturing the most nervy and apparently impossible thing ever attempted by piano man—that of undertaking to sell at retall in ten days 130 costly, new upright pianos for spot cash; and in pursuance of which under- taking we wish to make the following frank statement: ‘Who has not heard of name and fame of the beautiful “Weber” plano? Well, we have lost it. ‘We have lost the agency for the Weber piano, with its kindred makes—the “Wheelock” and “Stuyvesant”—and we want our money back. % For the past six months we have been kept in suspense as to whether or not we could retain the Weber agency. The Aeolian Company, which built the Pianola plano player, and thé- Weber Company, who build the Weber pianos, consolidated their New York factory in- terests some months ago, and since which time. it has been the policy of the company to combine their Pianola player and the Weber piano with one dealer in a city, ere they had formerly been han- dled two—for instance—The Pianola has been handled for many years in San Francisco by a friendly competitor of ours, while we have handled the Weber plano, and we are both willing that the agencies should remain with each as they are, and always have been. But the combination of factory interests in the East apparently wills it otherwise, and we, it seems, are up against it. The matter has been hanging fire for six months, while we, with hopes of re- taining the Weber agency, have bought heavily of the Weber house, much more s0 than we otherwise should have done, bought Webers, Wheelocks and Stuyve- sants—all built by the Weber people— bought and bought and kept buying, till the walls of our wareroom are almost bulging out with Webers, till we have depleted our bank account, and turned our pockets wrong side out, in order to prove that we are good fellows, and worthy factors to be reckoned with in the fleld of Weber agencies, and still it seems we have lost. Well, there are others! This may be telling tales out of school, but facts are sometimes stubborn things, and there is no use to be mealy- mouthed about it;, or beating around the bush. We have gone the limit, and now we are going to “buck.” We are going to back up. We are going to unload. In fact, we are going to jump from under the load-—going to cash in and take a new tack. In order to liquidate past alliances, and take immediate advantage of high-grade agencies now open to us to take the place of the “Weber line,” we shall need in the neighborhood of $30,000 cash, and we are going right out to get it. And while we shall throw nearly a hundred and thirty high-grade pianos, including over sixty fine and costly Webers, on the market to-morrow at a scandalous price to accomplish that object, it must not be understood that we are going out of busi- ness, for we are not, but quite to the eon- trary. To use an ugly phrase, we have “got our backs up,” and are just going into the business. The house of Clark Wise & Co. has not been in the habit of making periodical | fake piano sales. They have never en- gaged in a fake sale, nor never will. We do not carry the class of goods that could be profitably used for that pur- pose. This is a bonafide square deal; a spot cash plano sale of one of the finest and highest grade pianos made in the world —the “Weber”"—universally recognized by all great artists as the equal of any- thing in the piano line yet produced by man; standing head and shoulders over practically anything in its class; recog- nizing no superior, and but one possible equal—such is the “Weber!"” And these are the pianos we shall offer the public in this sale to-morrow for less than the price of an ordinary piano. Many, many dollars beneath the dignity of a Weber. To here state that we propose to offer these planos at cost would be superflu- ous—a waste of words—for the mere fact that we feel called upon to under- take the stupendous proposition of sefl- ing 130 costly pianos in ten days for spot cash carries with it the implication that we will do even worse than“that; for the man would be considered insane who would undertake to sell 130 costly planos in ten days for all cash, and at a profit. The man who could do that, this earth is his cabbage pateh. It is sufficient to know, and for us to say, that we intend, if it is possible, to sell every piano of the Weber line now in our warerooms within the next ten days for cash, and that we do not expect to emerge from this undertaking with a dollar profit—in fact, we are prepared to jose any reasonable amount that may be necessary to accomplish the object for which this sale is inaugurated, and all we ask of those who ever expect to own g0 fine a plano as the “Weber” is that they glve us an opportunity to show our good faith in the matter. - . ‘We have stood by the Weber plano for a’'good many years in this city, and the ‘Weber piano has stood by us, and to here quote in black and white the astounding low spot cash figures at which theWeb- ers will go-in this sale would be doin its future representatives here, as well as the manufacturers, a great injustice, and as much as we feel inclined to quote flgures on the Weber—which it seems to us should sell every Weber piano in our wareroom in a single day—we must con- tent ourselves with the inferences that must be drawn from what has already b::r said. and the further additional gen- e statement, that we intend to ws- count, ‘in this cash sale, from $160 to $275 from the regular Weber retail prices—according to size and design. ‘We have other fine makes of pianos— brand new-—that will go in this sale at $295, $267, $242, 3328, $196, $165 $137 and on down to $106, all cash. A strongly worded written guarantee from us, in addition to that of the man- ufacturers. will accompany each instru- WentRAlE.: S e TTanes AN ST o This sale, as above, began just a week ago this morning. and has been a phe- nomenal success. considering it an all- cash sale—over $5000 cash taken in on ‘Webers the first day. i Our assortment of “Webers” has not | broken yet, and we take occasion to | here guarantee our patrons many dollars’ more value, in strictly high-grade pianos, for their money to-day than has ever be- fore been given in this city. We know what has been done—what is. being done—and what can be done. There's no mistake about it. CLARK WISH & CO., A. A. FISHER, Manager. A ACCTSED Adolph Weber's Testimony | as to His Whereabouts 01i§ Night of Tragedy Is Flatly | Contradicted by Witness STARTLING STORY OF A YOUNG WOMAN He Claims to Have Been m; Another Part of the Town Specfal Dispatch to The Call. AUBURN, Nov. 21.—"I saw Adolph | ‘Weber in front of my house between | 6:30 and 7 o’clock on the night of the tragedy. I also saw him standing in front of the postoffice when I went for the mail about 7 o'clock.” Such was the testimony given by May Clarke vesterday at the prelim- | inary hearing of the youth charged with the murder of his father, mother, | sister and brother. As the witness, without & trace of hesitancy and with | a display of positiveness that entirely removed any doubt as to the truthful- ness of her statement, gave her evi- dence young Weber squirmed in his seat. He quickly raised his head and as quickly dropped {t, and seemed to wilt in his' chair. And there was rea- son for his nervousness and hogeless attitude, for the declaration of\ the young woman knocked from under the defense a prop that has been a maln- stay of Weber’s attorneys in their fight to save their client from the conse- quences of the horrible crime of which he stands accused. The witness' testimony flatly contra- dicted the statement made by Weber at the Coroner’s inquest at which time he said that between 6:30 and 7 he was in_another part of town than that de- scribed by Miss Clarke. The home of the Clarke woman is in Brewery Lane, half way between the postoffice and the ‘Weber home. The evidence of the Clarke woman is the .most damaging yet introduced at the preliminary hearing. The prose- cution claims that at to-morrow’s hearing it will “eorrpborate the wom- an's testimonv with that of two wit- lneaseu who saw young Weber in the ane. WOMAN’S TESTIMONY. Reduced to a connected tale Miss Clarke’s testimony is as follows: “I was out in the yard gathering wood when I saw Adolph Weber pass the house. It was between 6:30 and 7 o'clock. I went into the house, dressed, | and went uptown for the mail. W’henf I arrived at the postoffice I saw Weber standing alone outside. This was | about 7 o’clock. I started back home, | and was nearly there when I noticed the fire. I ran back through Chinatown to town and gave the alarm.” Clarence Geer testified that he was | at the fire earlv_and that as he ran| round the house Weber was with him. | They stopped in front of the house and | Geer never saw Weber afterward. Geer said he was on the porch and in the room where the bodies were found, but [ did not see Weber there. Weber claims | to have been in'the room and to have | helped take out the body of his little brother, Earl. Fred Bernhard testified that he was | present at the fire and did not see | young Weber on the porch or inside the bullding. Dr. J. F. White was called upon by the prosecution and testified that he | made an examination of a pair of| young Weber’s drawers, already an ex- hibit in the case. The doctor said he made a test of a stain found on the garment and, discovered blood by both the microscopic and chemical tests, The same results had been obtained in a lesser degree from an examination | of a portion of youpg Weber's.trous- ers, said the doctor. | Dr. White is an expert chemist, and | his analysis was to-day confirmed by | Dr. Ryfkogel of San Francisco in a letter to Dr. White. The preliminary examination will| be continued to-morrow marning, | when two other witnesses who saw | Weber pass through Brewery lane will be nroduced. SEARCH FOR PISTOL. Miss Clarke’s story of the route taken by Weber will make it easier for the searchers for the missing pis- tol. Between the Weber home to the brewery are several springs, and bhe- tween the brewery to the town is a ravine. A portion of the ravine was | raked to-day and the search will be continued to-morrow under the su-, pervision of a Pinkerton detective, | Charles H. Relmer, who is here at the | instance of Sheriff Keena. The search will be systematic and may take sev- | eral days. ’ In talking with ~The Call corre- | spondent to-day Detective Reimer said | there was little doubt but that Sheriff | Keena had the right man, and that | from now on links in the circumstan- ' tial chain would come much faster. | Reimer had a zood opportunity to! study the prisoner vebterday in the | Sheriff's office.. The detective be- | lieves the young man has an abnor- mally developed brain; that he has| great concentration and will power, but that it is only a question of time | Whe{l he will break down. Reimer | said‘'voung Weber reminded him of | Parker, the Boston man who mur-l dered his entire family. Weber’s head is very long from front to back, and his face is very short. The most remarkable peculiarity, however, is the closeness of his chin and ™ose; | they nearly meet. and his mouth is| but a slit. Weber appeared in court lo-dsy1 wedring a boutonniere of violets sent him by Miss Trousdale. The young ! lady is a waltress at. the American Hotel, and youry Weber called t' ‘e occasionally. i Arrangements are about completed whereby special counsel will be em- ployed on both sides at the final trial. | L. L. Chamberlain of Auburn and| Hiram Johnson of San Franeisco will | probably assist Attorneys Fullen and Tabor. in the defense, while George | ‘W. Hamilton, son of the late General | Jo Hamlilton. will likely be employed | in the prosecution. | e — | Vietim of “Knockout” Drops.

SEECEENNNEREEN MAKE TROUBLE FOR OFFICIAL Customs Inspectors Seize Goods in Home of Mother of Mexican Consul at Phoenix PHOENIX, Ariz, Nov. 2l1.—Au- gustin Rina, Mexican Consul at this post, was placed in a somewhat deli- cate and embarrassing position to-day as a result of E. P. Valentine and George T. Black of El Paso, inSpectors of the Treasury Department, seizing a quantity of Mexican drawn work of- fered for sale at a small store con- ducted by the mother of the Consul. It is alleged that Mrs. Pina, or some ther member of the family, smug- gled the drawn work from Mexico through the port at Eagle Pass, Tex. The inspectord refused to make any statement or give the value of the confiscated goods, saying that could report only to the department. Consul Pina says the value of the gcods is less than $100 and that a por- tion of them were manufactured in Phoenix. Consul Pina says his mother is rals- ing two orphan children who are adepts in making drawn work, which | |art they learned In Mexico, and that | the Mexican goods confiscated were | this country under legal privileges and | placed on exhibition to stimulate the sale of other goods made by the orphan girls in Phoenix. He insists that he has no knowledge of a violation of the customs laws and is greatly distressed at what he believes is an injustice to his mother. —_—ee—————— POLICEMAN EXCHANGES SHOTS WITH HOODLUMS Mexicans Attempt to Wreck a Saloon in San Jose When Re- fused Drinks.
