For some vears G. H. Jesse was a bookkeeper in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company at Nelson. Ladt year he left, going to the United States. He resided for a time in Idaho and later went to Mexico. His friends received a message from him in San Fran- | cisco a few days ago to the effect that he was coming home. Jesse was a member of the Nelson Se- nior four rowing crew. Mayor Morley, upon receiving news of the wreck of the Valen- cia, took steps to prepare the way for rendering any assistance nec- essary on behalf of the city. He communicated with Captain Gair- din of the Marine and Fisheries Department, informing him that the city was prepared to do any- thing that was necessary, proffer- ing to take care of any of the res- cued if the opportunity presented itself. Captain Gaudin thanked the Mayor, but . informed him that there was néthing that he could suggest at the time. ————— TRIAL OF CADET MAYO COMPLETED Attorney Tells Why Middy Stood Under-Class Men on Their Heads. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 24.—The trial of Midshipman Claud B. Mayo of Colum- bus, Miss., a membet of the first class, charged with hazing, was resumed to- day. E. 8. Theall, his counsel, addressed the court. Theall reviewed the testimony to bring out the fact that Mayo had not taken part in hazing, but had opposed ft. He then addressed himself to the expla- vation of Mayo’s motives in standing the midshipmen on their heads. It was clear, he said, that Mayo put the inference upon Lieutenant Snyder's remarks that they were to discipline the fourth-class men, and this same inference was made by all the fourth-class men who heard the remarks. Judge Advocate Harrison in asking for a verdict of guilty directed his attention to the evidence of Lieutenant Snyder and the latter's denial that he had the slight- est thought of suggesting hazing. Harri- son urged that even if the midshipman did get a wrong impression, it was no excuse for committing the offense of haz- ing any more than igngrance of the law excuses commission of crime.

Brown, JESSEL BURNS: THO NEN PERISH River Steamship Regulator Destroyed in Oregon by Fire Following Explosion STARTS IN OIL TANK ——— Carpenter of Ship Covered With Flaming Fluid, but Water of Stream Saves Him ————— PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 24—The river steamer Regulator, belonging to The | Dalles, Portiand and Astoria Navigation | Company, was wholly destroyed by fire to-day after an explosion in which one of the steamer's fuel 6il tanks had set fire to the craft. T#o men who were working on the tanks were killed out- right. The loss is $40,000. The dead: DE MONTE W. WADE, second engi- neer. MERRILL B. STAYTON, helper. Frank Reed, the ship's carpenter, was paintully but not dangerously burned. The Regulator was on the ways of a shipbuilding company at St. Johns, being overhauled. Wade and Stayton were drilling a hole in one of the oil tanks preparatory to connecting it with one of the other tanks. These two men were the only ones working near the tank, and for that reason it will never be known what caused the explosion. From fellow workmen 1t was learned that Liayton was an inveterate smoker, and it 1s beneved that a spark from his pipe, or perhaps the thoughtless lighting of a match ignited the gases in the half- empty tank. The craft immediately caught fire from the burning oil, which was thrown in every direction. Reed was covered with the burning fluid and ran | frantically about the boat until caught jand thrown into the river by one of the workmen. Seventeen other carpenters and five deckhands escaped barely in time to save their lives. ————— GOES TO PRISON FOR CRIME THAT BE DID NOT COMMIT S engineer’s REDDING.

SON OF ROSEBERY ' ELECTED IN ENGLAND Wins Seat in Parliament De- spite Opposition of John - Redmond. \ LONDON, Jan. 24.—Lord Dalmeny, the Earl of Rosebery’s oldest son, has een elected to Parllament from Mid- lothian, Scotland, by over 3000 ma- ! jority in spite of the oppalitlon of .Yofin E.

The operator at San Dimas may also come in for a share of the blame. . The local train was on time and its crew had no reason to believe it in any danger from the rear.- The passing point, where the local was to take a siding, was des- ignated as Azusa, several miles west of the scene of the wreck. The engineer of the Limited in his efforts to make up lost time had run his train at such tre- mendous speed that he was traveling on the other train’s time, a fact that a knowledge of the time card would have made patent to him. Had the local train been elsewhers than where it was its erew would have been subject to punish- ment for running ahead of time. _The fault of the San Dimas operator ‘was in giving the Limited a white block, when he knew that the local had not the next station and was less than ten minutes away. If he had shown a green signal to the Limited that train would have slowed down. This is the view of the matter taken by the railroad officfals, the result of whose investigation will, of course, not be made ‘public. All of the victims of the wreck will re- cover. G. H. Taper of Pasadena, who sus- tained a fractured skull and internal in- Jjuries, has virtually recovered from m, shock, and 'railroad surgeoris announced to-night that he will recover- unless some unforeseen com muu.

The captain, after consulting with the mate, asked McCarthy to take charge, which he did, and called for volunteers and the five sailors who reached shore in | safety responded. The captain instructed them to pull along the | beach and find a place to get ashore. They landed at 1:10 p. m. Tuesday and made Cape | Beale lighthouse at 3 p. m. Be- fore making Cape Beale they tried to get back to the vessel by the beach, but could not do| so. During the excitement Cap- tain Johnson was very cool and calm and 'all the crew were at their stations. The rescued sail- ors cannot give the lighthouse- keeper -at Cape Beale too much | credit for the manner in which they were treated. Boatswain McCarthy did not hold out much hope for the remaining boats, al- though the other nine survivors | are said to have made shore in a boat and are expected to réach Bamfield on Thursday. The sur- vivors are of the opinion that the entire crew, with their exceptior_l, is lost. A dispatch received by W. F. Bullen of Esquimalt, one of the owners of the steamer Salvor, from his brother, H. F. Bullen, on board at Bamfield, says the Valencia broke up this afternoon. Since about noon yesterday as- sistance from sea was impossible. The vessel had broken up. Only fifteen had survived. Parties have been sent over the trail. A party expects to leave to-mor- row and will be back on Friday. ISLE OF PINES TREATY FAVORABLY REPORTED Indorsed by Majority of Sen- ate’s Foreign Relations : Commxtteé. WABHINGTON Jan. 24.—The treaty under which the United States relin- quished to Cuba all claim or title to the Isle of Pines, which has been pend- ing since November 11, 1903, was to- dGay ordered reported by a majority of the Senate Committee on Foreign Re- lations. There will be a minority re- port preseated by Senator Morgan and signed by two or more members of the committee amending the treaty so as to give additional protection to the interests of Americans who have in- vestments on the island. As reported by the majority the treaty is exactly as it was reported and made public on November 24, 1903. It provides that the title to the island shall be relinquished to Cuba in con- sideration of the grants of coaling and naval stations in_Cuba heretofore made by the Cuban Government to the United States. It is the contention of the majority of the Foreign Relations Committee that article 3 of the treaty gives ample protection to American in- terests. This article stipulates that citizens of the United States who at the time of exchange of ratifications of the treaty shall be residing or holding property in the Isle of Pines shall suf- fer no diminution of the rights and privileges they have acquired. They shall e the right to carry on their industry, commerce and professions, be- ing subject to such laws as are applic- able to other forelgners.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24—A score of Chi- nese engaged in a revolver battle in the which result- ed in the death of two Chinese, Ching Yong and Lee Soon, the mortal wounding of a third and the serious injury of a fourth combatant. The battle was be- tween members of two rival Chinese so- cleties, the Hip Sings and the On Leongs. Chinatown was full of visitors at the time who were witnessing the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The fight was begun in Pell street under cover of the racket of flreworks set off intentionally by members of the rival societies. Many spectators, attracted to the scene by the firecrackers, were in danger from bullets, | which flattened themselves against the brick walls or broke the windows for nearly a block up and down Pell street. The police rushe¢ among the fighting Chi- nese, snatching still smoking revolvers from their hands or knocking them | down. Chinese non-combatants and soma spectators lay flat on the pavement to escape bullets. ‘When the battle ended four Chinese lay dead or unconscious on the street, eight revolvers were scattered about and sev- en Chinese were prisoners. Members of the On Leong society under arrest said that they were going through €hinatown wishing a “Gong Hes Fatoy™ or “Happy New Year,” to friends, when a party of Hip Sings attacked them. Last summer these two societies fought with revolvers in the Chinese theater here and several Chinese were shot.

The ministers of the city claim that 300 con- verts were made as a result of the work, but the great success is clouded by the feeling which the reverend gentleman leaves behind him. he antagonized the business element very largely and at times during his ser- vices hints of violence reached such & point that his meetings were given po= lice protection. —_——— Sixteen Miners Entombed.

ADVERTISEMENTS. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. wam!wflmnhh‘ Preserving Heaith and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that chare coal is the safest and most efficfent dis- infectant and purifier in nature, bu few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it i1s not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impugities always present in the stomach and intestines and carrieg them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath aftes smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im« proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and furthes acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases whick collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoa! and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics, in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, tha charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex- jon, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: “I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear th& complex- ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great- ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in sofmé sense a patent preparation, yet I believe T get more and better charcoal in Stuyart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” Keep Tooth Powder where you can use it hmn‘mhgofi mmkm:mm“& m Ask your dentist. -fl-.l‘n- /
