The Daltons were a numerous family.
There were five boys and three girls. OF the

NOT IN THE LOWER CORNER OF ALiSEl.
Surveyors Sent Out by the United States Government
Hare Accomplished Work That Will
Be Of Lasting Benefit.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Oct. 5.-The expedition
sent out by the United States Government
this year TO obtain the exact geographical
position of Mount st. Elias has finished its
work. The mountain is at the beginning of
the north and south boundaries of Alaska,
but while regarded as the corner in gen.
eral sense was known not TO be an exact
center.
The work was begun In systematic man.
ner, and all preparations were elaborate in
the extreme. Tacoma, Wash. was selected
as the base of operations, as 1t is practically
the end Of the telegraph lines in the United
States. There was stationed j. F. Pratt of
the United States Coast and GeOdetic Sur
vey. His duty consisted in making time OBJ
servations, and during the months of June
and July he forwarded corrected chronome-
ters to Sitka on the steamer Queen.
At Stka there was located an observa-
tory in charge of Fremont Morse and an as
sistaut. The object OF this station was to
observe the time at Sitka and to make inter-
media late time calculations between Tacoma
and Yakutat Bay. This bay is near the
base of mountain, and here were sta
toned j. E. McGratt aud j. Henry Turner,
who were third assistants iii the survey.
The United States steamer Hassler kept
them in communication with Mr.. Morse at
Sitka.
The line was then complete. and chro-
nometers were sent back and forth from
time to time for correction and com mDarisOn
at Yakutat Bay. Mr.. Turner conducted a
series of astronomical observations and at
the same time Mr.. McGrath continued the
survey work, which consisted in running
base line laid out on the shore of the bay.
The exact latitude and longitude OF this
point was then determined, and bya scheme
of triang gulation the location and height Of
st. Elias were determined.
The mountain is not located in the exact
corner Of Alaska. but is just one mile from
it. The height is given at II, pol feet.
But few changes are noted on the work
done by previous expeditions. Most of the
last observations were conducted in good
weather and under favorable circumstances,
and all connected with the maps feel sure Of
their accuracy.
McGrath and Turner have been two years
In the interior of Alaska and are preparing
report of the resources and geography Of
the country which will cover much ground
never before explored and be of lasting
benefit and interest to the scientific world,

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 5.-Ben E. Snipes,
owner of the Roslyn Bank, who resides here,
has received telegraphic advIces from Ellens-
Durg to the effect that three Of the Roslyn-
bank robbers have been captured by c. b.
Pond. Snipes' brother-in-law, and an Off
cial of the bank. who has been pursuing the
thieves with posse.
The capture took place near Ellensburg
on Monday night. Those captured are

three Others still at liberty.
The officials in Elensburg are keeping

the lynching OF the men. and to prevent the
others also from being put on their guard.

tinued.
The exact whereabouts of the three pris-
oners is unknown, but it is thought that

doubt, and he is anxiously awaiting the ar
rival OF further information that will con-

FIRED OH By THE M0HECAN.
One Seal POacher Had a Somewhat Lively
Experience.

SEATTLE, WashI Oct. 5-The sealing
schooner Willard Ainsworth. Captain E.
Cantillion, returned this morning from her
maiden sealing cruise, which netted her $50
skins.
The Ainsworth had an exciting brush
with the United States steamship Mohican
on May %. Last year the terms Of the
modus vivendi were that any schooner
leaving port before the agreement had been
made, and not being warned, could not be
seized for taking seals in Bering Sea.
Nearly all the schooners this year lett port
before the new modus vivendi had been
signed, and did not know that it provided
for seizure in the sea whether or not warn
ing had been given. Consequently every
schooner that sighted man-of-War tried to
get away to avoid warning.
On the day mentioned. when somewhere
to the southwest of MIddletown Island, the
Ainsworth sighted the Mohican and at once
clapped on all sail TO escape. The Mohican
gave chase with steam and sail, and over
took her and as she was almost alongside,
the Ainsworth put about and got away on
the tack.
1t was some minutes before the Mohican
could get around, but when she did she
bore down on the schooner very fast. Again
the Ainsworth went about and got away,
and the commander.of the n-of-war then
evidently lost his temper, for the crew was
piped to quarters and a gun run out for
ward. This time when she came within
haliDg distance she commenced blazing
away.
Five shots were fired and then Captain
Cantillion concluded to stop. No damage
was done the ship, as the shots whistled
through the rigging, but some of the crew
narrowly escaped being hit. Then Ensign
Herrson came aboard and served the Off
cal warning 10 keep out of the sea. Mr..
son.
Captain Cantilion heard nothing during
the voyage Of the schooner Maggie Mac of
Victoria, reported missing. He fears she is

THE RIDING CONTEST.
Austrian officers Finishing the Cruel Ride
From Vienna TO Berlin.

BERLIN, Oct. Count Staremberg, one
of the Austrian long-distance riders who

reached Homburg this morning with his
horse in good condition.
Count Staremberg arrived at o'clock
this morning, making the distance In II
hours and "a minutes, or three hours better
than that of Lieutenant MiklOs, the first
rider to finish. He finished in a gallop.
Both rider and horse are in wonderfully
good condition.
Up TO 2-o'cloek this afternoon twenty-five
Austrians had arrived. Some of tbs Ger
mans who started on the second day are
making better time than those who started
on the first day. Up TO o'clock this MORN
ing nine Germans had arrived at Vienna,
their time ranging from 84 TO SO hours
1t is now certain the Austrians take the
first prize and probably the second and
third.
During the afternoon the Austrian
riders arrived in quick succession and all in
frst-class condition. The later arrivals
travelled over the road in from seventy
seven to ninety-six hours.
AS reward for the feat he accomplished.

The Democrats Carry the State by Re-
duced Majority.


duced Majority.
ATLANTA, Oct. 8. Georgia to-day elected
a Governor. other State officers and full
General Assembly. Two full tickets were
in the ield-the straight Democratic and
the Peoples party. The Republicans had
simply a national electoral ticket, and
probably their vote went to the Peoples
party.
The Democratic ticket was headed by
Hon. w. j. Northen for Governor. and the
Peoples party by Hon. W. l.. Peck.
The day opened beautifully, and from
every part of the State bulletins announce
the vote the heaviest in many years. The
Democrats claim the State by 10000 to
$4,000.
COLUMBUS, Ca, Oct. 5.-Election in this
district passed off quietly. In this county
the Democrat majority will be between
10000 and $4,000. A vast majority of in
telllgent negroes cast the Democratic ballot.
Marion County, where the third party Is
considered very strong, has given hand
some Democratic majority. Reports from
various counties In the Fourth District
show a Democratic majority. Muscogee
gives over 1900 Democratic majority. The
Democrats are firing cannOns and ringing
bells and Jubllating generally. The State
Is safe for the Democrats by about 40, 600,
against 10000 in 1888, 1900 in 1884 and

THE WAR In VENEZUELA.
Crespo's Forces Badly Defeat the Govern.
ment Troops.

New YORK, Oct. 5.-The steamship Ven-
ezuela arrived from La Guayra this after
noon. According to the news she brings
the long struggle in Venezuela was nearing
an end, aud will result in the overthrow OF
the Government, which has made snch a
persistent fight. Colino had Joined forces
with Crespo, and they were advancing on
Caracas. Crespo has possession OF every
city and stronghold except Las Peques,
Maracaib0 and Caracas. At Las Peques
the reyolutiOnists expected 10 fight the de-
cisiye battle. Ii is the best fortified place
the Government troops hold. and General
Palido is there with 6000 soldiers. On the
2Sth there was q battle between<ipe revoiu-
tionists and Government troops at Macuto,
in which the revolutionists were defeated.
When the Venezuela left La Guayra, on
the 18th ult, the reyolutiOnlsts were look
ing along the coast for the steamer South
Portland. which sailed from New ork
some time ago with cargo of arms.
Apparently no effort is being made to ger
hold of the six political refugees seized by
General Urdaneta on beard Of the steamer
Caracas In the narbor OF Puerto Caoelio
several years ago. Neither Admiral walker
nor Minister Scruggs knows just where the
six men now are, aud the Government
claims that 1T does not know where the
refugees are, as the man who seized them
is now in armed opposition to the Govern
ment.
The reports are current. however, that
the six refugees are having hard time Ia
the dungeons of Fort San Carlos at Mara
caibo Their friends say they are being
very badly treated ln addition 10 being hall
starved.
From the accounts given by the passen-
gers of the Venezuela 1t appears that the
captain OF the Spanish gunboat Jorge Juan
Is running things to suit himself IN the har-
Dor and city of La Guayra. The captain,
it seems, gives protection to every foreigner
who needs il, and as a result Is highly
popular with the foreigA element In La
Guayra. The officers of the ships speak OF
him in terms of unstiuted praise. The
Spaniard took il upon himself among other
things 10 protect American ships from many
pet V annoyances thrust upon them by the
customs authorities.
When the Venezuela arrived IN La Guayre
there was trouble about landing. The GUS
toms authorities refused TO allow the shit
to land unless she deposited her register in
the Custom House. Captain Hopkins re-
fused 10 give up his register. but turned it
over TO the American Consul Then. with
the captain of the Spanish gunboat on
board, Captain Hopkins pulled into the
breakwater. The Spaniard then suggested
that the captain call for help from the
American men-of- war. A signal was run
up, and hardly had it got to peak when
boat dropped into the water from tile Chi
csgo and twenty-five marines tumbled into
IL. The marines soon had possession OF the
Venezuea's 3 deck and there was no further
trouble.
