Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VIsALIA, Sept. 23-Detectlvc Tbaeker
and his posse and Frank Burke with his
scouts and Indian trailers returned to this
city to-day from their chase after Evans
and Sontag The officers are little bit dis
gusted at the failure of theil efforts to
come upon the train-robbers, but state that
there are too many men in the mountains
now to do effective work in the way of
tracking the outlaws to their lair-if it be
true that they are still hidden near the
scene of the Sampson Flat massacre. Every
clump of trees is said to contain the camp
of party of pursuers, and upon every
trail in the hills there are the tracks of
numerous parties passing and repassing in
aimless search for the much-sOught men.
The result of this Is that even should Evans
and Sontag pass by a certain trail on q
given day before nightfall their tracks
would be obliterated by those of some of the
pursuing parties, and SO the trail could not
he followed. Consequently the Indian
trailers taken into the hills by Burke have
been unable to get track of the fugitives,
and even if they had got on the track it is
questionable whether they could baye kept
it. skilled as they are in woodcraft. No
trace of the bandits has been found, how
ever. since the fight at Young's. and Frank
Burke is OF the opinion that they have left
the hills and have either escaped across the
Sierras or are now hiding with friends in
the low country. He will ma. give up the
chase. nevertheless, and viii leave for the
hills again with his trailers tomorrow
All the officers now Eere held a consulta-
ti0n to-day to determine upon plan Of
future action, but If an agreement was
reached it was not made public.

the bandits at Youngs house, states that

FORCING THE NEWCASTLE PROGRAMME.
Political Prisoners in Ireland Released by MGFley.
Practical Steps Being Taken Against

Copyrighted. 1892, BY the New York Associated
Press

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The placidity on the
surface of political affairs is altogether de-
ceptive as to the real state of the result of
the Liberal elections. The greatest danger
now menacing the existence of the Glad
stone Government is the formation OF a
strong radical faction. Some of the
staunchest Scotch members of the House Of
Commons, who had been supporting Glad
stone, now declare that the time is near
when they will refuse to continue their ad-
heson to the Premier if he does not subor-
dinate home rule to what they consider
the more important planks in the New =
castle programme. The Associated Press
representative has learned that this deter
minatiGn has been concurred IN by forty
two memb beTs, enough to make havoc In the
party If Gladstone persists In his deterInI-
nation TO push home rule at all hazards.
The Associated Press has authority to
state tn ut though Mr.. Morley cannot advise
n wholesale release of the prisoners con-
victed under the Irish coercion ACT, he is
considering every case by itself. aud is
hopeful of overturning every e0nvlctlon
within month. He has also decided TO
release every one of these prisoners unless
he is All offender under the common law.
Concerning the Governments protection
OF tenants who have been evicted from their
holdings, practical stems will be taken in
October. In view of Morley's decisive in-
teryenti0n the eviction campaign Of the
Tory landlords shows signs of cessation.

New York, Sept 23.-Louls WeiDnagep,
who was taken sick fe@ days ago with
Asiatic cholera and removed TO the hospital,
died this morning.
Sanitary Superintendent DR.. Edison made
the following report to-day on the cholera
suspects" in the Parker Hospital:
henry Engle of Fourteenth streets doing
well, and 1t is not thought he had the chol-
era.
There is some doubt in the case of Patrick
Steward of Is Morris street. His illness is
suspicious ard may be cholera.
Henry Frick, 55 years of age, of $50 West
Thirteenth street was taken sick last night
with vomiting and diarrhea. His case is
not regarded as one of genuine cholera. but
is being investigated.
Two cases of suspected cholera are being
investigated this afternoon-Lieb WisneWitz

MADEIRA, Sept. %. - Constable Dave
Green. who has just come in from the pur-
suit of the bandits, tell the Mercury that
matters are about the same as when the
several posses went cut Immediately after
the tragedy at Young's house and that the
robbers are apparently as secure from ap-
prehension as at any time since they started
on their career of crime. This is not owing
to inefficient work on the part OF those in
pursuit, for the officers are prosecuting the
search with untiring energy and emitting
no opportunity that might tend to their ap-
prehen sion. 1t is now thought by those in
pursuit that there are three Of the fugtives
instead of two. This suspicion is raised
from the fact that in company with the
tracks of Evans and Sontag have been dis
covered those of another man who accom-
panies them wherever they 60. They are
easily tracked, but owing to the desperate
nature of the two men the search has to be
prosecuted with care as an ambuscade is to
be expected any time. They have not been
seen by those in pursuit. and as they are
constantly on the move and resort to the
skulking tactics of the Indian it is difficult
to say when an encounter will take place.
But the officers are unanimous on one
point-that the men will never be taken
alive, and that when the final clash comes
there will in all probability be en- acted
greater tragedy than has yet marked their
short but bloody career.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Naturalization by Canada Not Recognized
by This Government.

WASHINGTON. Sept. pa short time
ago the Collector of Customs of Port Town
send. Wash, wIote TO the Treasury Depart
ment for instructions in the case of one
Ching Yon, a Chiuaman who claimed to be
a British subject and applied for admission
into the United States as such, exhibiting a
certificate OF naturalization issued in Van
couver. The Collector expressed the opinion
to make this test case and if this man was
allowed TO enter the authorities on the other
side of the line would begin at once to make
British citizens Of the Chinese to evade our
restriction law.
Assistant Secretary Sraulding, in reply,
informs the Collector that the naturaliza-
tion of Chinese person by an adjacent
country would not qualify such person 10
enter the United States. and lnstructs him
10 decline TO consider the papers mentioned
as in any manner changing the status OF
such person as far as admission into tue
United States is concerned.
An official of the Treasury Department
SAID this afternoon that it was a debatable
question if this action of the department
IN refusing to recognize the British naturali-
Zaton Of Chinese persons is not in conflict
with the treaty with Great Britain. where
by its subjects are allowed to enter and
leave the United States at any time.

No Nepe Of an Agreement Among the Saera.
mento Democrats.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 23.-The two fac.
tions of the Democratic party-the regulars
and the reformers-had a conference this
evening. 1t was called for the purpose of
coming to some sort of an understanding 10
pool their issues If possible. but 1t WAS no
60. The regulars were the first to offer
terms. They were willing to place the re-
form nominees on the regular ticket, but
would not surrender their organization.
They declared that they were the regularly
elected Democratic Central Committee, rec
ognized by the State Central Committee,
and possessing other credentials They saw
no reason, therefore, why they should step
down and out at this stage of the proceed
ings. The reformers would not agree to
this. When asked what they wanted they
did not offer any proposition, except that
they be given the organization or half OF it.
1t was suggested that it would be the proper
thing to agree upon ticket and let the
regular committee submit it to the Secre-
tary of State, and that 1t would look bad to
have half Of the Democratic nominees going
around with retitions in order to get on the
ticket. The reformers would not agree to
it. however, aud after a long talk the two
committees adjourned in disgust.
The regulars will meet on Tuesday even
ing and complete the regular ticket

An Attempt to Wreck Southern Pacific
Train Near Tracy.

An Attempt to Wreck Southern Pacific
Train Near Tracy.
TRACY, Sept. %. - II the engineer who
brought in the special freight that arrived
here from the south over the Newman
branch of the Southern Pacific, at little
after o'clock tonight, did not encounter
Evans and Sontag, he at least found traces
of the work of some misereant who is seek
ing TO emulate the crimes of those WORTHLESS,
with the atrocity of train-wrecking added
to train-robbing. The freight was making
good time, as it was running ahead of the
overland passenger train, and when it
reached point abont one mile and Il half
southeast OF Tracy there was a shock that
wrecked the engines headlight, broke all
the glass in the cab and all but threw the
locomotive from the track. Of course the
train was brought to a standstill as soon as
the engineer had collected his wits, and it
was found that the engine had run upon
dynamite bomb placed upon the track and
that il was a mystery she had not been
thrown into the ditch at once. II is sup
posed by the railroad men that the bomb
was placed there for the purpose of wreck
Ing the overland passenger train, and that
the passing of the sDecial freight defeated
the designs of the wreckers.
Young LonadCn, farmer who lives In
the vicinity, came upon the scene shortly
after the train had been brought 10 stand
still, and stated that at about O'Clock he
had seen man lettering along the track in
that vicinity, and had noticed that the man
sat down, as If to rest, close to the very
spot where the explosion occurred. He
had thought little of this at the time, as
tramps are numerous in tnat vicinity.
Detectives left tonight and are now scour-
ing the country in search Of the perpetrators
of the outrage,
