ESCAPED FROM MARE ISLAND.
Three Naval Prisoners Scale the
RafterS and Get AWAY.

VALLEJO, Nov. 20.-On last Saturday
night three naval convicts made their
escape from the prison at Mare Island 10
a manner which has yet to be explained
by those in charge at the time of the Jail
delivery.
The absence of the three convicts became
known when Corporal Brown went to
their. cells for the purpose of serving the
men with their bedding for the night
When the corporal verified his prisoners
the number was short one convict. He
gave an alarm, which brought Sergeant OF
the Guard Clifford, who made furhe ex-
animation, which resulted in the discovery
that there were three men gone.
A general alarm followed this knowl-
edge. and 100 marines, fully armed. were
distributed about the island in search OF
the convc.s. The patrol was maintained
until midnight-four hours after the dis
covery. but nothing was found of the trio.
A detachment was sent to Vallejo and
guards were kept posted about the island
The two officers. Clifford and Brown,
were at once deprived of their accouter-
ments and now occupy two of the vacant
cells, where they await a full investigation
of the escape, which was made by the men
gaining access to the top OF the interior
prison. sec ling the rafter braces and out
through the ventilator.
The names of the escaped men, all OF
whom were formerly members of the
Boston's crew. are Hall, DAILY and Cliffy.
There were in for three years from that
vessel. The two last named had been in
prison but four and six weeks each. while
Hall had served one year.

Christensen, stating be read with interest
that the gulf transportation project was
now under consideration in the
United States, as he was already
working on such line of steamers. The
only thing In the way of carrying out the
project bad been the uncertainty of getting
westbound cargoes, but he proposed to
overcome this by including the Next

undertaken in January, steamer starting
from Copenhagen. touching at ports In
Holland. Belgium and France. thence 60

TOOK TOO MUCH MONEY.
The Jetty Contractor at San Diego
Short of Funds.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2O.-The contract for
structing the first section of the Gov
eminent jetty and revetments ana ap-
proach thereto at the mouth OF San Diego
harbor, which was let to S. X. Smith of
Portland. Oregon, has evidently proved
too much for that gentleman to handle

In the first place bis bid was so low as 10
ADMIT OF only nominal profit even il the
job were handled to the best possible ad
vantages. Instead of rushing work the
contractor obtained only small machinery
and an insufficient crew, so that the
amount of work accomplished is quite
small. 1t became evident some weeks ago
that the contractor did not control enough
money to complete his contract. Eight or
ten men brought down from Portland
were constrained to go without their
wages for two months or more. and others
engaged here, numbering about 55 in all.

AN EX-EDlTOR IN TROUBLE.
Arrested for Obtaining Property
Under False PretenSes.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 20.-S. A. Drum
mond. who was formerly editor of the
Lancaster Gazette. in this county, was on
trial in the Superior Court to-day on a
charge of having obtained property under
false pre;enses from d. w. Field, ex-
Public Administrator. and General E. P.
Johnson.
According to the testimony of Mr. Field
the latter in July. 1890. endorsed note for
$500 for Drnmmond ana induced General
johnson TO DO so with him ON the under
standing that Drummond was sole owner
of the newspaper plant at Lancaster.
Drummond gave these Two gentlemen a
mortgage on the plant. The note was dis
counted by Drummond at Los Angeles
bank. but he failed to pay it or any part of ii
when payment fell due. and General John :
son subsequently had to pay it.
Afterward Mr.. Field ascertained that the
printing outfit did not belong to Drummond,
but was The property Of Palmer & Rey of
San Francisco, whereupon Drummond was
arrested. The case was continued until
tomorrow.

MAY REMAIN HERE.
An Order That the Russian Con-
victS Be Released.
But No Instructions to Liberate the
Refugees Have Yet Been
Sent to This City.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Secretary Car
Isle has ordered the release of the ten
Russian convicts picked up at sea and
landed at San Francisco.
1t is understood the Russian Minister
here will endeavor to have them rearre tied
and extradiIed.
Up to 6 O'Clock last night none of
the United States officers here had
been officially advised from Washington
of the release of the dets.ned Russians.
AT the Russian consulate nothing was
known of any movement by which the
refugees would be extradited. AS the men
were detained by United States Immigra-
ton Commissioner Stradley the natural
inference is tina. Secretary Carlisle would
instruct him by wire to release them. but
no message vas received.
II took the dispositions of the men last
Monday and wired the substance to Wash
ingtop, SAID Mr.. Stradley. II made no
recommendation"
upon what grounds were the men re-
leased? ?" was asked.
1T seems TO me that the only ground is
that they are not allen immigrants within
the definition of the statute. 1t would pro-
duce singular state of affairs if the de-
partment should decide they were alien
immigrants. Under the law, the vessel
which brought them would have to take
them back whence they came. In this cas-
neither the Charles w. Morgan nor the
Cape Horn Pigeon touched at foreign
port The men were picked up on the high
seas"

EVANS ON TRIAL.
Defense Not Ready for
the Struggle.
MOVE FOR DELAY OVERRULED
One Man Found Who Declared His
Belief i'm the Bandits
Innocence.

FRESNO. Nov. 20,-The case of the peo-
pie against Christopher Evans for the
murder Of Victor Wilson was called at 10
O'Clock this morning before Judge NJ. K.
Harris in Department / of the Superior
Court of this county. The prosecution
announced themselves ready for trial.
The defense was not ready.
Assistant District Attorney Snow ap-
peared for the people, with w. D. Upper
and Fl. II. Welsh as special counsel. The
defendant was represented by G. G..
Goucher and S. j. Kinds.
An affidavit was read from Senator Will
liam WOODBURY. of Carson City, New.
stating that he is sick and cannot attend
at present. Senator Goucher read an aft
davit by himself setting forth that he had
been Unexpectedly detained as a witness
in San francisco until few days ago and
had been unable to subpoena any witnesses
until last Friday. He asked for contin-
uance until next Friday.
Judge Harris denied motion for a con-
tinuance. saying that the case was set for
trialsixty days ago. and he would not give
further time Kinds on the part of the de-
tense entered a formal objection to the
panel OF jurors, specifying particulars, the
principal of which was that when the
yearly panel of jurors was drawn MADEIRA
County was part of Fresno, and some of
the jurors drawn for this trial live in
MADEIRA and were not subpenaed In this
case. The defense put on a witness to
prove these facts. The defense's obiec-
tions were disallowed by the court, and
the work of examining jurors was then
proceeded with.
UP to the hour of adjournment only
seven were examined, one being passed.
All these but this one said they had made
up their mind for or against the defense
They had read the newspaper reports, and
the testimony could not change their
opinion. One witness, William Main, said
he had come to a decision in favor of
Evans. This juror was the only one who
committed himself. But few questions
were asked by the defendants attorney,
and these gave no indication what the de-
tense would be.
The crime for which Evans is now on
trial is the murder of Victor Wilson at
Jim Youpg's cabin on September IL, 1892
There are three charges against him, all
by indictments found by the Grand Jury
in September. 1892. There is one indict-
ment for the murder of Wilson, one for
the murder of McGinnis, and for the Coils
train robbery.
The trial at present is for the murder
of Wilson. 1t is the same in substance as
the murder of McGinnis. and the same tes-
timony will apply 10 both cases. Victor
Wilson was Deputy United States Mar
shall from Arizona and was in charge of

A Sailor on the Schooner Herman

SANTA BARBARA. Nov. 20. - The
schooner Herman, Captain Isaacson, from
San Francisco. bound for the north coast
of Japan. put in here to-day. The vessel
left San Francisco on the 18th instant on
seal-hunting expedition. When out over
200 miles a hunter named Leseur was taken
violently i'll with symptoms OF poisoning.
The captain turned back and reached this
port this afternoon. Leseur died three
hours before the vessel reached the coast
The captain said he thought Leseur was
drugged in San Francisco before he shipped
on the Herman. Most of the sailors were
drunk. but it was supposed that they would
be sober next day. Leseur grew worse,
with the results stated above. Captain
1saacson reported to the Government off,
Gals here. An examination of the body of
the dead sailor by physicians resulted in
the decision that his death was caused by
a protracted spree while on shore.

Secrets

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20.-The general

Derby accused James A. Wright of giving
away secrets of the order. Wright de-
MED the accusation vigorously. A resolu-
ton requesting the resignation of all the
general officers was presented and referred
to the committee on resolutions. The ad-
ministra ion is still defiant. All are dis
turbed over the fact that their proceedings
have been published. despite their efforts
to prevent il.
