A SACRAMENTO SKIPPER'S HEROIC
ACTION.
Into the River and Rescues Whole
Family from Drowning.

SACRAMENTO, August 16.-Captain B.
J. Mcdonald, of the little steam launch
Nereida, today saved the lives of four
persons. He had taken an excursion
party up the river and was returning a
listle in advance OF the steamer, towing
barge. To the latter was attacheda a ski IF
containing Robert Finne, wife and little
son and two-year-old babe. When about
two miles from town the skiff was cut
loose and at once capsized. Some one
on the steamer called out to the captain
OF the launch. The latter stopped and
saw Finne foundering III the
water. He leaped into small
boat towing behind and pulled
for him. He caught him and
got him to hold on to the boat and then
set about to look for the others. The
boy was seen clinging to a rope drag
ging from the barge, and was safe. Mrs.
Finne was rising for the third time, and
Mcdonald caught and dragged her into
the boat in an unconscious condition.
Presently he saw the infant beneath
the surface of the water, and succeeded
in catching its clothing before it saw
the bottom the last time, and rescued
it. All were taken ashore, and after a
while restored and taken to neighbor-
ing farm house. They were afterward
brought home on McDonald's launch.

BRUSSELS, August 16.-The interna-

Today's doings were purely formal,
consisting of the verifying of the dele

accordance with the declared intention
to exclude anarchists the Belgian dele
gates objected to three anarchist dele
gates, and the congress almost unani-
mously ratified the objection. The
houses of the city are decorated with
the banners and colors of various So
cieties, red being the prevailing color.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 16.-Detec-
tives last night arrested the man be-
lieved to have perpetrated the outrage
on Colonel R. W. Frayser on Thursday
last. He is DR.. James Edwin Glenn
mems, young physician, and has been
partially identified by those who saw
the robber, as that individual. He
gives no satisfactory account of his
whereabouts on the day of the robbery,
and his statements of his actions that
day were entirely at variance with the
positive testimony of others on
the subject. He formerly wore
a full brown beard. People who knew
him saw him Thursday evening between
7 and 8 o'clock and his whiskers were
black. Later the same evening he had
his beard cut entirely off, wearing only
a small mustache. He had been in f.
nancial straits for two weeks, and had
been in hiding, pretending to be out of
town, though he was known to have
been in Memphis. If Colonel Frayser's
Identification of him is as strong as that
OF others, the detectives believe he will
be convicted.

From the Thetis.
SAN Francisco, August 16.-The seal
ing schooner G. H. White, Captain Wild
dinson, arrived yesterday evening,
twenty-four days from Ounalaska. She
is the vessel that ran away from the
Thstis in Bering sea July 7th, as report
ed by Captain Reiter to the navy
department recently. The captain says
he had not received any notification

READS LIKE FICTION.
THE ROMANTIC LIFE OF SHOE
( BOX" MILLER.
A Son of Wealthy Parents-Convicted of
Crime He Never Committed-Wins
the Hand of General Mosby's Daughter.

New YORK, August 16.-The history
OF James W. Miller, says morning pa
per, if fully told would read like fiction,
Miller is an ex-convict, better known as
"Shoe-box." He was introduced to Miss
Mosby by Count Mitkiewiecz, to whom
he had been presented by prominent
scitizens of Pittsburg. AS already told,
he became engaged to Miss Mosby, and
that lady's brother on learning of Mil
|sler's past tried to shoot the count, whom
he thought had acted knowingly. Close
on the story why no defense was made
eKxh en Miiles ~r~eH eos~iotrd OF tor turing
and robbing the old couple
at Brady's Bend, Pa, comes
partial corroboratioh by Miller's attor-
ney. The story in substance is that
Miller was an assumed name; that the
man knew nothing of the crime for
which he was convicted, but that on the
night of the robbery he had shot, and as
he supposed, killed "pal." When ar
rested he feared to make a defense and
thus reveal his whereabouts and face,
as he believed, the charge of murder.
This shooting was done in Cleveland.
The victim recovered, and the police
never knew of it at all.
A dispatch from Pittsburg says
Colonel William D. Moore, who defended
Miller, yesterday made a statement
based on the confidential story of the
client at the time. In this Moore says:
"Miller is not the name of the man who
committed the Conner robbery. Neither
is it the name of the man who served
seven years in the Western penitentiary
for the crime, and is now suitor for
the hand of General Mosby's daughter.
The man known as "Shoe- box" Miller
is the son of one of the wealthiest busi-
ness men and fnanciers in New York
city. Miller is name adopted by him
long after his separation from his
wealthy parents. When Miller was yet
achild his father and mother separated.
The child was deserted by the father.
The mother died, and he was thrown
upon the mercies of the world. Since that
time he has borne a bitter hatred
for his father; in fact, he could not
recognize him. l have positive proof
that Miller was in Cleveland the night
of the robbery, and never held one OF
the stolen bonds. At Miiler's request
have written letter to Miss Mosby,
telling her the facts. The man who
committed the Conner crime confessed
and paid me money to defend Miller. l
know he is an innocent man."

BENNINGTON, August 16.-Probably
Vermont has never seen celebration
arranged upon so grand and magnificent
a scale as that attendant upon the dedi-
cation ceremonies of the battle monu-
ment at this place the coming week.
The celebration is the elimination of a
long series of events covering century.
In anticipation the city today is COM
plete wave Of bunting and flags. Arches
brilliantly lighted by electricity and
bearing appropriate historical inscrip-
tioEF have been erected all over the
city. The Vermont militia are now in
camp. Governor Page and staff arrived
this morning, and it is expected that
guests of the state to the number OF
1900 will arrive tomorrow. One of the
events which will be celebrated besides

CORRUPTION IN BALTIMORE.
Federal Offices Conducted in the Inter.
est of Ward Workers.

FeueraI OmceS conducted In the Inter-
est of Ward Workers.
WASHINGTON, August 16.-The result
OF the investigation by the civil service
commission Of the charges that last
spring the civil service law provisions as
to political assessments, ETC., were be-
ing rnthlessly violated in Baltimore, has
been submitted to the president. Com
missioner Roosevelt's report saye, in
part, that the primaries of March 30th
were marked by very bitter contest
between two factions of the Republican
party-really fight between Office
holders and disappointed ofice-seekers.
Party success was secondary consider
alton, important only because it facili-
tated in the getting of the offices.
Roosevelt cites this as an illustration
of much vaunted usefulness to any
party of tho nffice-saeking variety of
ward workers., The ward worker, WHO. fs
simply in politics for the offices, is a curse
to the community. His political activity
is purely unhealthy and mischievous.
The government office-holder must be
taught in one way or another that his
duty is to do the work of the govern
ment for the whole people, and not to
pervert his Office for. the use of any fac
ton or party.
The evidence seems clear, says the
commissioner, that both the postoffice
and Ghe marshal's Office were used for
the purpose OF interfering with or con-
trolling the result of the primary elec-
ton, and there was systematic,
though sometimes indirect, effort made
to assess government employees.
The commissioner asks the dismissal
of twenty-five men in the marshal's
Office and other departments. 1t is evi-
dent, he says, that the non-classifed
service in almost every patronage office
was treated as a bribery-chest from
which to reward influential ward.work-
ers. Appointments were made second
arily with view to the we'll being of
the public service. While it does not
appear that Mr.. Johnson himself used
the postofice to influence the primary
election, it is evident that it was so used
with his full knowledge.
The commissioner is strongly OF the
opinion that decided steps should be
taken to show that the rule against this
is not hereafter to be regarded as dead

Associated Press Dispatches.

PARIS, August 16.-Eclair, which is
not given to sensationalism, prints the
following, as confirmed by unquestioned
authority:
On the night following the departure
of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern
from England, the crew was beaten to
the quarters and surprised to find the
quarter deck brilliantly illuminated.
An altar had been erected on the deck,
bearing the Old and New Testaments,
and the Kaiser stood by wearing a
white chasuble, with a crozier in his
hand, and black and white mitre on
his head. He read the most war-like
passages from the Testaments, and in
vited the crew to respond. He then
preached long sermon on the duty of
sovereigns to the people, the whole
service lasting from II pm. to am.
The crew were then piped below.
At 5 am. the kaiser appeared on the
bridge in the uniform of high admiral,
ooking extremely haggard, and address
ing the commander, said: "Sir, retire
to your cabin shall take charge"
Liz COuuuuduu0r TcpllcU. Clr, per-
init me to observe that we are in dan
gerous passage, and it is advisable for
your majesty's safety, as we'll as that of
the crew, that sailor remain in COM
mand."
The emperor responded: "Never
mind. God will inspire me-"
The commander bowed and retired.
The second officer remaining, the en-
peror angrily bade him retire. The
officer respectfully protesting, the en-
peror said +: "You resist? Wretched
creature! You trouble the spirit of God
which is in me. This is the vengeance
OF God upon you," dealing the officer
heavy blow on the cheek. The officer
turned crimson, but remained until the
emperor seized him by the throat and
tried to throw him overheard. In the
struggle that followed the emperor fell
and broke his knee cap. The emperor
howled with pain; his eyes started from
their sockets. he foamed at the mouth,
swore horribly and displayed symptoms
of madness.
The officers, after consultation, car
ried him into his cabin, nobody being
admitted except his doctor, the en-
press and the men necessary to restrain
him till his leg was bandaged and
straight-jacket put on him. The crisis
lasted three days.
