SMUGGLER FOUNDOUT
Suspicious Movements of the
Sealer Eliza Edwards.
SHE HOVE TO OFF VICTORIA.
Presumably to Take Chinese and Opium
Which She Landed ut Santa Bar

VICTORIA, July s.-The steam schooner
Eliza Edwards did not go direct from Van
couver south, but stopped off Victoria,
where she was met by a Victoria sloop.
What she took on can only be surmised.
but her actions aroused the suspicious of
United States officers who seized her at
San Diego yesterday. 1t was supposed
when she left that she intended to go
straight to Valdiva.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal, July 8.-Dr. r. F.
Winchester. suspected of being interested
with Won Bremen in smuggling operations
with the Eliza Edwards, now detained at
San Diego, arrived here this evening. He
has made long statement to
the morning press. He states
that Won Bremen was patient
of his for several years. The OBJ
ject partially of the Eliza Edwards
coming down the Coast was to take
Won Bremen on a sea trip for his health,
Another was to sell the boat as there is no
demand for sealers-for which purpose she
was built-at present, owing to the Boring
sea troubles. Winchester was in Los An
geles on his way East when he heard of
the trouble, and went to San Diego to
help his friend. His reason for regis
terlng under an assumed name
was that he would be constantly besleged
by reporters and customs officers and
wished to be rid of them. He denies all
knowledge of the story that the Eliza Ed
wards was going in search of a lost treas
ure. The story that he offered money to
the San Diego Union to suppress news is
emphatically denied.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, July s.--No traces of
opium have yet been discovered on board
the Eliza Edwards, the steam schooner
under seizure here for the alleged SNUG
Cling of ffty-one Cinnamon and 1000
pounds of opium into the United States
from Vancouver. The publication of
the attempt made yesterday by Cap
tain Won Bremen and DIR. Winches-
ter to bribe reporter and the
editor of the Union to suppress the facts
already elected caused panic this morn
ing. Winchester left on the first train for
Santa Barbara, where the customs officers
believe the opium was located. Won
Bremen admits having touched at Santa

STRIKERS VISIT THE GOVERNOR.

He Assures Them That Troops VIII Not
BE Used Except ~ . Last Resort.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July ga committee
representing the Homestead citizens
and strikers arrived at 1870 to-
night, and from that time until
after midnight were closeted with
Governor Pattison and Attorney-Generai
Henzel. After the conference Henzel said
the men assured the governor that the
sheriff could take charge of the property
and that there would be no re-
sistance to his authority; that
he had never attempted to serve
civil process in Homestead. They COM
mended the governors action in not send
ing troops, and requested adherence to
that stand until at least some official had
been INSTRUCTED in the exercise of author
ity. Responsibility for Wednesdays
occurrences, they said, rested with Car
negie, who brought the Pinkertons there
and armed employees without official
authority. No organized attempt
had been made, Delegate Cox said,
to prevent the landing of Pinkerton men.
1t was rather the result of accidental col
ision than generalization.
Governor Pattison replied that he was
glad to know that peace and order
prevailed. He wanted it understood that
the civil authorities must exhaust
oil means before he would interfere.
but the law must be maintained if it took
all the pow er of the state and federal gov
ernments. Delegates Cox and O'Don-
nell strongly intimated that if arbi-
tration of existing difficulties could
be had it would be acceptable, but the
company had refused to treat with labor
organizations, and proposed to man the
works with non-union men. The
governor made no response to
what was evidently hint to
him to arrange arbitration. Attorney
General Henzel asked 0'Donnell what
would happen if the company secured
other men To take their places. O'Donnell
did not know. He knew the company
had a legal right to do this. 1t
was impressed upon the commit
tee that the legal rights of both
sides must be maintained. The
committee returned home early this morn
ing. Before leaving they expressed salts
faction with the conference.

Steamer Sunk by . French Warship.
PARIS, July S.-The tran satlantic steam
er Marechal Canrobert was sunk in col
lision with the French ironclad Hoche off
Planter. nine miles southwest of Marseilles
Ninety-five passengers on the deck of the
Marechal Canrobert were watching the
maneuvers when the Hoche, which is the
flagship of the squadron. crashed into her
side. Owing to the dense smoke caused
by the firing of the guns of the warships.
the officers of the Hoche did not see the
Marechal Canrobert until too late to avert
the disaster. The shock of the collision
was terrific. The Marechal Canrobert was
fastened in all haste to the ironclad to pre-
vent her from sinking while her passen-
gers were being transferred to the war
ship. Immediately after the Marechal
Canrobert was detached from the Hoche
she gave iurch and disappeared beneath
the waves. Seven passengers on the Mare
chal Canrobert were lost. 1t is supposed
they were killed by being struck by the
ram of the Hoche when she crashed into

The dispatch is signed by Chancellor
Won Caprivi. The dispatch is significant,
and is held to prove that attempts have
been made to effect reconciliation with
Bismarck. The Freissinnige Zeitung says
the publication of the rescripts is forci-
BILE answer to feeble and pointless attacks,
and that the second dispatch is tanta-

so long as he lives.

13-year-old girl. at Milwaukee, two weeks
ago, was recaptured this afternoon and
lodged in Jail here at o'clock. He was
arrested in West Chehalem valley, twelve
miles northeast of here. by John T. Carter,
constable of that precinct, while leisurely
walking along the road. Carter did not

shaver his face clean and wore a new
suit of clothes. When questioned
by Carter he denied all knowledge
of the murder, and offered to accompany
him into town. He gave up his gun to
the constable, and the latter's brother
went to get team. Wilson saw an OPP
portunity to escape, and started to run.

his right arm. BY this time Carter's
brother had arrived with gun, which he
leveled at Wilson, telling him to surren-
der or die. He said: please shoot me, l
want you to shoot me-" The Carriers
overpowered him and brought him to this
place.
Wilson states that he spent most of his
time since his escape from Sheriff Kelly
last Saturday night in a bark shanty near
the Willamette river. This evening Sheriffs
Kelly and Warren and twelve men started
with the murderer, ostensibly for Oregon
City, but it is supposed they intended to
take him to the penitentiary at Salem.
