Ask ot Sedte Fe office, 653 Market st » | ST. PETERSBURG, July 83—That Em- peror Nicholas is sending Russia's pleni- potentiaries to Washington in perfect good faith is demonstrated not only by the fact of his clothing them with full negotiate and conclude a but in his appointing several high als (five, it is believed) who are spe- lists in various branches of the sub- powers to treat. ers of the Russian plenipotentiaries. In this way the delays incident to refer- ring peace propositions back to St. Pe- tersburg for consideration of the various | Ministers, which always cause a loss of much time in Russian diplomacy, will be f | avofded. Japan is likely also to pursue a similar plan. The retirement of War Minister Sak- haroff marks the final overthrow of the war party. t the Forelgn Ministry it was stated t, if a treaty were signed by the pleni- jaries in Washington, it would be d to their respective governments io and St. Petersburg for ratifica- would become operative, so far concerned, when signed by holas and countersigned by reign Minister Lamsdorff.

The $20,000 appropriated for maintenance of the Yosemite National Park, which surrounds the valley, was also to be used for the valley and the Government would have been spending national funds on this wonderland ere now had not some op- position developed, and it has been deemed best to walit until all controversies are definitely settled. The Government is ready to accept the transfer and care for the valley. A lucld explanation of the entire situ- ation, showing exactly why mention of the valley was omitted from the resolu- tion of acceptance adopted by Congress, as noted editorially by The Call, is ¢on- tained in the following letter from the secretary of the Sierra Club, inspired by the editorial: Mr, John McNaught, Editor of The Call, City —Dear Sir: 1 was ifterested in reading your editorial in to-day's Call on the Yosenite recession matter. Since I have carefully fol- lowed every phiase o€ the pucexses 4 the bills both in Congress and in the State Legislature I thought you might be interested in learning the real ‘Inwardness” of the situation you commented on In your editorial and I take the liberty of presenting to you the facts as I understand them. Owing to the bitter and active opposition on the part of certain elements in the State Legislature and owing to the vast num of bills presented for consideration at the st session, the act receding the vailey only passed the houses and received the signature of the Governor_two days before Congress adjourned, Benator Perkins, the Secretary of the Interior and others were notified by wire. Senator Perkins, at the request of the Secretary, hastily prepared an amendment to the sundry civil bill providing for an 'appropriation, which recelved favorable action in the -Senate, but for some reason failed in the House. At al- most the last moment Senator Perkins pre- pared a joint resolution formally accepting the valley and the big tree grove and appropriat- ing $20,000 for-the Yosemite National Park in addition to what had already been appro- priated for the care and maintenance of that park. The point was raised by a Representa- tive who, I understand, was not opposed to the bill, that at that late date iegislation and appropriation could not be properly com- bined in one ‘bill. In order to obviate this technical point the claus accepting the valley was eliminated and only the appropriation was left, with the title remaining unaitered. I'have deemed it only due to those who so ably champloned this measure to thus explain in detall, lest the attitude of the Federal Government be misunderstood. From per- sonal conference with Federal officials I know that the Federal Government is ready and will- ing to assume the trust involved in the care and management of the Yosemite Valley. The Comptroller of the Treasury rendered an opinfon for the Secretary of the Interior to the effect that the $20,000 appropriated by this bill was available for use in Yosemite Val- ley. Had there been no disposition on the part of the Yosemite Commission to oppose the transfer of authority the Federal Govern- ment would have assumed control manths ago and would have procseded to expend _the $20,000 appropriated for the improvement of the valley. Oun_ account of this opposition it has been deemed the best pollcy to wait until the question is definitely and finally gettled FOLLOWS TRAL | BROKERS REACH PACKERS AELY OF LADY LOVE| WINNC CANP, O INONCTIN Riverside Orange Grower De- clares He Will Wed Denver | Belle Despite Opposition ON WAY TO COLORADO Wealthy Clubman Says He Will Thrash an Offending Relative of Miss Kennedy Epecial Dispatch to The Call. RIVERSIDE, July 3.—E. C. Palmer, the orange grower and prominent member of the Gentlemen's Driving Club, has left Riverside and his friends declare that he has gone to Colorado to claim Vera Ken- nedy, the wealthy soclety belle of Denver with whom he fell in love while she was visitng here, in deflance of the opposi- tion of the girl's parents and the inter- locutory divorce decree which forbids his marriage before September 15. Six weeks ago when Miss Kennedy's grandfather, who is to make her very rich when he dies, learned that Palmer had been twice married and had been separated by divorce from his second wife only since May he communicated with her mother, who came and hurried Vera back to Denver. Later documentary proof of Palmer’'s deceit was mailed to her. It was thought this would kill her love for him, but his friends maintain it but added fire to the flame. 3 To an acquaintance, just before his de- parture, Palmer sald he would make Miss Kennedy his bride in spite of all opposi- tion. He also threatened to ‘“‘thrash within an inch of his life” a relative who figures In the attempt to frustrate his matrimonial plans. Before going he sold his trotting horses and made preparations for a lengthy stay. VALUABLE GUNS DESTROYED BY FIRE IN SAN DIEGO Weapon Worth 8500 and Several Others of Less Value Are Burned.

Squires has served a term in San Quentin for kill- ing a man. — and all doubt removed as to the legality ot the transter. You have also ralsed a polnt regarding the Mariposa Big Tree Grove. The Department of the Interior recognized that this was not included in the Yosemite National Park by issuing an;order, I understand, placing it in the forest reservation under the able manage- ment of Gifford Pinchot. Of course this mat— ter was also held in abeyance, since It in- volved the same points as were involved in the transfer of the valley. Very truly yours, ‘WM. E. COLBY, Secretary of Sterra Club.

The visitors were saluted by the whistles of the mines and the camp was {lluminated by red fire. Two large decorated floats drawn by a twenty-mule team and preceded by a brass band and burros carrying {illuminated transparen- cles took the visitors from the depot to the Mizpah Club, where a reception was given. - This morning the visitors inspeciyd the underground workings of the mines in Tonopah. The brokers were surprised at the extent to which actual work had progressed. There is a shaft 300 feet deep on the Mizpah claim and the party fol- lowed the tunnel at the 600-foot level ot the shaft for 2000 feet. This afternoon there was a reception at the Mizpah Club, this evening a banquet at which 200 assembled. There will be an inspection of the mines all day to- morrow. The crowd leaves Wednesday morning for Goldfield, Rhyolite and Bull- frog. A big entertalnment has been planned at Goldfield, $2000 having been raised. Fifty automobiles will take the party to Goldfield. The Tonopah district has shipped $5,000,000 worth of ore in the last eighteen months. The heavy cost of transporta- tion makes unprofitable to ship ore run- ning less than $100 per ton. The Tonopah Railroad connecting with the Carson and Colorado Railway to Reno is to be made broad gauge within thirty days, and the road to Goldfleld will be bullt within forty days. This will give impetus to the min- ing industry. —_ee———— HUNTER WITHOUT CASH IS WELL TREATED BY THIEVES Spactal Dispatch to The Cal CHICAGO, July 3.—Efforts are to be made by the packers indicatsd by the Federal Grand Jury to defeat the Gov- ernment’s alm through injunction papers. The novel spectacle of defendants, charged with criminal offenses, seeking to restrain the prosecution from proving any viclations of the law by them may be seen in the United States Circuit Court before the end of the month, The packers thought it all over long ago,, anticipating their Indictment, and have authorized their speclal counsel, John S. Miller, to file their petition for an injunction at his discretion. In fact notice informing the Federal officials that the petition would be filled asking for an injunction has been prepared for serv- fce. Miller sald that the action seeking an injunction would be uncommon, but not without . precedent, cases being on record supporting the contemplated move by the packers. “The form of action has not been thor- oughly considered or thought out,” sald Miller, “but that will be settled later. My clients will ask for an injunction against proeecution under the indictments on the grounds that prosecution will be irregu- lar. It is a well settled rule of law that where a plaintiff goes into a court of equity seeking an injunction and obtains it the same plaintiff cannot Institute criminal proceedings against the defend- ant. The packing firms are now under an injunction made permanent by Judge Grosscup in the Circuit Court. If they have violated that injunction, they ought to be cited for contempt befors that tribunal {nstead of being indicted in the United States District Court.™ District Attorney Morrison and Assist- « | ant Attorney General Pagin were absent from the city to-day and their opinions could not be obtained on the new move to be made by the packers. —_————— CHARGE OF SHOT PIERCES CHEST OF YOUNG HUNTER Robbers Hand Back Nimrods Gun After Learning That He Is “Broke” SAN BERNARDINO, July 3.—Arthur ‘Watkins, returning from a hunt with a loaded shotgun. was stopped last night in Colton avenue by two armed robbers, who commanded him to throw up his hands and drop the gun.
