The Journalistic graveyard in San
Jose has received another addition,
the Phoenix, of j. J. Owen, having
joined the silent majority. For
some time there have been more
daily papers in the Garden City than
in San Francisco, and it was to be
expected that number Of them
would die from inanimation. San
Jose is good two-paper town, and
more than that there is no excuse
for existence.

POOR CARNEGIE.
HE HAD TO FISH FROM MORN
TILL NIGHT


LONDON, Oct. 14.-Andrew Carnegie
and wife arrived from Scotland yester-
day. He was interviewed by repre-
sentative of the Associated Press to-
day. He said he had been busily en-
gagged all spring and summer in prepar-
ing a new book treating on industrial
problems OF the day. The work, he
explained, was written as Il working
man TO working men, and as employer
TO employers; not as an advocate but Us
q Judge between them. He had been
studying the questions since he
retired from business that he
might be enabled 10 write without
interruption, the results Of his obser-
vations. The deplorable events at
Homestead burst upon him like thun-
derbolt from clear sky. They had
such a depressing effect upon him that
he had TO lay the book aside and resort
TO the lochs and mOors fishing from
morning to night. Now the trouble
was a thing of the past, he would go
to the continent and work with a fresh
and happy mind. Referring TO the
business prospects OF this country, Mr..
Carnegie said the outlook for Great
Britain was dark. He saw at least
half dozen notices Of reductions Of
wages and hours of labor and
closing OF works. Exports We're
falling lower and lower every month,
and one of the worst winters which the
poor had experienced in thirty years
seemed inevitable. India was compel
ingstor the China trade, and crops every
whore had suffered severely from 1nus-
ually wet weather, wheat being on
estimated at 10 per cent below the
average, Owing to poor crops in Eu-
rope the United States would find good
markets for all it's surplus productions,
That country would therefore remain
prosperous and the masses be enabled
to obtain full employment and live in
comfortable homes.
The capacity for production Of the
United States was beyond any possible
requirements for some time to come,
and the country therefore, would be
enabled TO send its surplus producte
abroad and undersell the British
even in their own markets. In short, u
said Mr.. Carnegie, sin conclusion,
look where you will there is but one
truly prosperous country in the world
and that is the republic Of the United
States.'

The convicts shall never gain n

destruction on the convicts, lessees

with prudence and give tit for tat.
No matter what colnes-death. de-

Taking on Supplies,

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. A. = The
cruiser Charleston began taking on
supplies OF ammunition from the cruis-
or San Francisco this morning. The
latter vessel displayed red flag at the
foretop masthead when the transfer OF
powder commenced. The San Fran
cisco then began taking on supplies,
the first item being $4,000 gallons OF
water. No order has been received
yet beyond requiring the vessels to be
ready for sea at a moments notice. 1t
was stated yesterday that the San Fran
cisco would be the basis OF supplies
and operation in the event of trouble
with Chill, and that the entire Pacific
squadron, including the Boston, would
rendezvous at this port. 1t was also
reported last night that General Nc
Cook had made arrangements for
quarters for three companies OF artil-
derry, which would shortly be ordered
here.

TOKIDNAP HELEN.
A eoTHAMlTE's PLAN TO RAISE
FUNDS.
Jay Gould's Daughter the Object on
the Crank's Scheme = senator
Plumb's Successor is Bishop w.
Perkins, OF Oswego.

NEW YORK, Jan. PA plot to kid
nap Miss Helen the Oldest daughter Of
Jay Gould, has been unearthed and
may lead to an arrest, although. the
wizard and police detectives believe it,
to be the wild scheme of crank. The
crank wrote to friend in New York
the day after Broker Norris threw a
bomb in Russell Sage's Office, saying
he was going to elope with Miss Helen
Gould, take her out west and If Mr..
Gould did not accept him as a son-in-
law and give him good start in the
world he would hold Miss Helen cap
tive until 81, 900, 900 ransom was paid.
The writer of the letter signed himself
"Von Michaels'' and directed John F.
Bassford, general agent of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance company to
whom it was written, to let him know
how much Mr., Gould would probably
give up for the return of his daughter.
The plan was to induce the young
woman, on some pretext or other. to
enter a cab near her fathers residence
at Fifth avenue and Forty seventh
street. Won Michaels and COM
panion were to follow her into the
vehicle and draw the blinds, and the
driver was to hurry the party into
New Jersey where train would be
boarded for the west. Won Michaels
entered into no further details. but
asked Bassford for his advice and as
Sistance.
