Special to The MORNING CALL

SAN DIEGO, Sept 27-This has been a
day Of hurried preparations, for even the
proudest Native Son of San Diego is willing
to admit this afternoon that no harm would
have been done by beginning the decorative
structure on the plaza a week earlier, and
putting on twice the force hitherto employed
on decorations generally. However, every
thing is getting into shape somehow on the
principle Of every one jumping in at the last
moment and working as if his life depended
on the result.
Iwent over this morning to look at the
Indian rancherIa at Fourth and A streets.
A square st0ckade, about two acres In
extent, has two of its sides occupied with rows
of huts made of tule bound together very

Special to THE MORNING CALI.

FRESNO, Sept. 27.-Evidence is multiply
ing that Evans and Sontag have been
within the immediate vicinity Of Fresno
during the past few days.
The movements of the detectives and
their Indian trailers prove this 1t is
pretty sure that the bandits spent Saturday
night in a barn some twelve miles north
east of this place, and from there they
seem to have moved TO the vicinity of
Goshen, for Burke and the Indian trailers
were scouting In that neighborhood yester-
day and struck out this m orning toward the
south.
The robbers appear to be making for
their old stamping ground in Tulare
County. The Indians saem to have great
success in following them. and If they keep
it up they will make it weary for the rob-
bers. On the other hand, if the Indians
press them too hard the next startling news
bids fair to be that the Indians have been
ambushed from thicket 1t stands to rea-
son that the robbers will not allow the
trailers to track them down when it is In
their power to prevent it,
1t is now quite certain that when they
left Sampson Fiat Evans and Sontag
crossed Kings River and went toward Pine
resting there while the pursuers were beat
ing the bush around Sampson Flat.
s. Lehman, the proprietor of the box
factory THAT was burned near Markwood
Meadow about month ago, WAS in Fresno
Yesterday and reported that about last
Thursday, while he was absent from his
camp, 1t was visited by two men who pro-
ceeded to cook themselves a diDper When
Mr.. Lehman returned ne found his camp
had been entered and on shingle he found
written:
Compliments of SoDtag and Evans.
Tired, weary and foOtsOre. Thanks for
what We have got"
There were two Of them. as could be seen

they had eaten their dinner. They had
cooked bread, pies ana macaroni; took all
the sugar and matches in camp and took al
razor and pair of socks. There we're two
good guns in the camp but they did not
take them. They must have remained at
the camp some time to have done the cook
ing that they did. The amount of flour
used indicated that they baked enough
bread to last them several days, and just
outside was pile OF old dry crackers they
had thrown away.
This information tallies with the recent
movements of the pursuing posse.
The robbers have left the hills for the
plains, but whether for the purpose of
seeking cover in the swamp back of Visalia
or of making break for the coast can
not be decided. They are moving with
great CELEBRITY and in an erratic course, but
Burke and his Indians appear to be On
very hot scent.
Tonight telephone dispatch from San
ger stated that man there claimed to
know where the robbers were secreted and
would show the officers their hiding-place
for half the reward. but the story is not
credited. 1t could not be true unless the
Indians have been following a false trail

PECK's SUCCESS.
Ths New York Labor Commissioner Wins the
First Encounter.


ALBANY, \. Y, Sept. 27.-Labor Com
missioner Peck appeared in court to-day.
He said he should Dot be called on to permit
an examination of tariff statistics received
from New York manufacturers, because
they were gwen in confidence and the facts
were obtainabe in no other way. His re-
port on labor and wages Vas based on these.
The returns were his own property, not that
of the State. The same method prevailed
in other States. The case went over to
October l, and Peck claims 10 have won the
6TStsteD toward his Justification.
Commissioner Peck's affidavit saws In par I
that the practice pursued by him in 1890 and
1891 was no departure from the uniform
courses of prior years. He found in the
law creating his Office provision author
iZlng him 10 examine witnesses, but with
the condition that mo witness shall. against
his will, BE- compelled to answer any gues-
tlOns respecting bis private affairs" This
restriction rendered il practically impOSsI-
bic TO give effect to the intent of the Legis-
lRture unless the confidence Of the people
OF the State was secured and retained and
III cir private affairs voluntarily disclosed.
Repeated Tetusais came 10 him from bUSt-
ness meU, and besides the circulars sent out
each year he wrote thousands OF letters,
giving his personal assurance that no use
would be made of their confidence and
every communication would be held sacred
BY such legitimate means and honorable
pledges only was he able to discharge the
responsible duties OF his office and render
the Legislature data annually transmitted.

found necessary to give to all persons the
pledge of security and confidence given by
BIN during the several years Of his official
life.

about which the proceedings have arisen.
was issued and published at the time usual
for the publication of the other State re-
ports. The attempt made to esta blish the
theory that his report was given out to in
fuence the pending election is false as the
compilations were all made before any
Democratic nomination was made, and the
data were obtained before any one could tell
who the nominees of either party would
be.
&The Commissioner says that he is further
advised by counsel that under the decision
in kindred cases injunctlons would lie
against him if be attempted in any way to
make public the matter he guaranteed
should be held secret and confidential.

The men hold conference a little way off.
They are doubtless of the opinion that
''men aud dogs are sent abroad 10 roam, but

possibly, they feel that they are super

man is in an American home, or as the
average San Francisco reporter would be at

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The Times CORE
spondent from Hamburg says: The cis-
terms are choked with solid matter. In fact.
the chain of pollution grows with every
link. The water in the river is cleaner
than that in the water works; there Is
clearer water in the water works than in
the mains, and that in the mains is
clearer than in the houses The
only one thing wanted was TO pro-
vide for the entrance Of cholera poison
into the water system. This was arranged.
The intake is so situated that at flood tide
the matter from the sewage outfalls can
reach il. In Hamburg the house sewage
runs out at the basement and in again al
the roof, after little tour Of the river and
the water works. This criminal state Of
things has been notorious for fifteen or
twenty years. New water works were
planned, but little else. They are not likely
TO be completed for two years. Whether
they will be effective is question for eAgi-
neers. but the fact stands. Altoona is in a
worse position with regard to sewage, but
has escaped the scourge by virtue OF having
power water works.
HAMBURG, Sept 27-Ths official figures

twenty-three. a decrease OF eight compared

tion of closing the Chicago Worlds Fair on
Sunday, expressing cordial satisfaction
with the action Of the United States Con-
gress and the opinion that this would tend
to better observance of the Lords day.
DR.. Pitzer of Washington asked IL there
would be any objection to putting SUNDAY"
in place of Lords day." because. said he,
the resolution will go to Government that
does not know anything about the Lords
day, but does know something about Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Kerr OF Glasgow moved an amend
ment to the original resolution he had
offered, which was much more flattering to
Congress, and declared that such action
prepared the way for other reforms which
would recognize the supremacy OF the Lord
Jesus Christ over the nations and promote
civil and religious prosperity in all commu-
mites.
Rev. Mr.. Brownson Of Washington said his
Government was sensitive. The council

NEW YORK, Sept 27.-Dr. William Shaw
Bowen telegraphs the World from Ham
burg as follows: On Sunday | had an
interview with Professor Won Pittenkofer,
known in scientific circles as one of the most
distinguished medical savants in the world,
Professor Won Pittenkofer has been in
vited by the Imperial Government to lend
his great authority to the deliberations of
the commission meeting in Berlin to con-
slider the subject of the cholera.
"The local conditions were favorable to
the development of cholera here" he said.
There was dry. hot summer, and the
meteorological phase was comparatively
unusual The Elbe water is impure. The
streets are wet with this water and
in certain localities the soil Is soaked
with Impurities. Had toe usual
season prevailed with an abundant rainfall
there is no doubt that the cholera germs In
the course OF their progress westward from
the shores of the Caspian Sea, would not
have found so fruitful ground here for
development AS it was the disease took
root. with the result that we all know"
"Do you accept the comma bacillus as
described 10 he the specific cause OF the
cholera" "No; 1t Is simply manifesto
ton. The same bacillus is met with in the
cholera nostra and in the simple choieraic
disorder that exists every summer in Amer
lea and everywhere else"
