SAN Francisco, Oct. 2S.-Some weeks
ago Hon. jeremiah Lynch wrote in the
name of the grand jury to @. P. Hunt
ington, president of the Southern Paci
fic company, inquiring whether it was
by his direction that Greed Raymond,
chief counsel of the Southern Pacific
was acting as attorney for Stephen =.
Gage and Richard Chute, the recalcitrarlt
witnesses. Huntington replied at'great
length, today. He stated that he was
not responsible for Haymond's appear
ance for Gage and Chute, but that Hay
mond retained the right to appear in
private cases where the interests OF the
railroad were not involved. He
stated, further, that the books Of the
Southern Pacific were open 10 the grand
jury at any time, in spite of the great
inconvenience it would cause, and that
he had sent letter to A. N. Towne,
general manager, requesting him to as
sist the grand jury in all possible ways.
He wanted the road taken out Of poll
tics, and would continue his efforts to
that end.
He closed by stating that if the Off
cials of the road attended to their duties,
as they should, they would have no
time to meddle in politics.

me Noted Pluto Indian Princess Rashes

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.-Informatlon
has reached here that Sarah Winnie
mucca, princess of the Piute Indians,
died at Monida, Montana, while visiting
relative. Her father was during his
lifetime chief of the tribe and she had
an eventful life, serving as an interme-
diary in many disputes between her
tribe and the whites. So great was hel
desire to benefit her kindred, that she
took service with white families of the
Comstock region, Nevada, and with
her wages bought books to ed
ucate herself. She acquired the
English and Spanish languages, and
wrote many articles for the papers, be-
sides publishing books designed to show
the difference in the condition of the In
dians before the whites encroached on
their territory and after. She delivered
lectures in the eastern states, as well as
throughout the west, in which she took
the ground that the Indians would fare
better if military officers, instead OF
civilians, were appointed as Indian
agents. She was twice married, hel
first husband being Lieutenant Bartlett,
who was stationed at Camp McDermott,
and from whom she secured divorce.
About eight years ago she was married
in this city to Mr.. Hopkins, a commits

The Grenadier Guards Again Mutining on
Account of Bad Food. -
LONDON, Oct. 28.-Military circles and
the public in general were startled today
by the publication in the columns of
Truth of the details of another mutinous
outbreak upon the part of the Grenadier
guards, who are now stationed at Wind
sor castle. This is the second mu !iny of
the same battalion in the last six
months. It had its origin in the i'll
feeling permeating many OF the corps OF
the British army on account OF INSULT
cient aud unpalatable rations which the
men claimed were served them for their
meals. On Wednesday, October 14th,
these rations, they claim, were espe-
cially bad and caused the smouldering
feeling of insubordination to break out.
The privates of company one refused
to eat their rations and they we're con-
fined to the barracks for day, and the
corporals of the same company were
placed under arrest pending an inquiry
into the mutinoCs conduct OF the pri-
Yates. The inquiry made into the out
break showed that the grenadiers had
upon previous occasion complained OF
the quality OF the bread served them,
and the business of their complaint not
being admitted, the men threw the
bread out of the barrack windows into
the square. The adjutant OF the third
battalion declared that he was not
aware the men had acted in the
manner mentioned. He was wholly
ignorant of the entire incident,
and said he had not received
any report upon the subject. Thereupon
Truth says: ''The evidence of 100 wit
nesses can prove the facts. If such an
outbreak and consequent arrests are pos
sible without the colonel or adjutant
knowing of them, the worst said about
the gulf separating the officers from the
men, is not far short of the truth"
The officers of the guards admit that
there was row, but refuse to give par
ticulars, declaring the trouble was of a

SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 2S.-Chile re-
fuses to accede to the demands of the
United States.
The Chilean government has replied
to Minister Egan's demand for an ex-
PLANTATION OF the recent attack upon
American sailors. The reply is conched
in very strong language, and it is under
stood it amounts to refusal to accept re-
sponsibility for the affair. The state
department at Washington has been no
tilted. Minister Egan, Commander
Schley and Consul McCreery are con-
sulting together, and it is thought deci-
sive action win be taken soon.
The state department orders in refer
ence to the matter are very strong.
The intendente of Valparaiso has re-
fused to guarantee the safety OF market
boats coming into the city early in the

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.
Germans Driven Out of Russia by a
Peculiar System.


New YoRK, Oct. 2S. Among the pas
sengers on the Majestic, which arrived
today, was DR.. Walter Kempster,
special immigration commissioner, who
has made an exhaustive investigation OF
the Russian phase of the subject. Con-
cerning his trip and the results of it,
DR.. Kempster said he could say nothing
until his official report was made. 81
will speak on one subject, however"
said.he. sit is with reference to Ger
mans who are being expelled from
Russia in great numbers. This is being
done in spite of the fact that there has
been no ukase issued ordering the ex-
pulsions of Germans. They are being
forced out be a system which the peo-
| pie Of this country cannot understand.
Hitherto their villages had been
allowed to elect their own president.
Last fall an order was issued that all
persons elected to such positions should
kiss the Russian Christ. All these
Germans being Roman Catholics, have
naturally declined to do this, hence they
are debarred."
"Other methods OF persecution are
practiced," !" said DIR. Kempster ''If the
Germans desire to build any churches
or repair existing structures, they are
required to submit the plans to the
holy synod. This body always raises
the estimate from hundreds to thou
sands, precluding the possibility of hav-
ing the work done. The German lam
guage is not allowed now to be taught
in the schools. All this is nothing more
than religious persecution. The conse-
quence is that the Germans, who are
wretche lily poor, are selling their hold
ings at any price and leaving Russia,
many going to the Argentine Republic,
while others are coming here"
DR.. Kempster says they form most
desirable class Of immigration for this
country. Speaking of the forthcoming
report OF the commission, he said when
the report is published it will be text
for every newspaper and for every pull
pit in the land.
