AMERICANS ABOVE SUSPICION.
It Was None of His Business Whether

Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-A special from
Terre Haute, Ind, saws: Hon. j. II. Thomp-
son, ex-Secretary of the Navy. aud late
president of the American committee on
the Panama Canal Company. in an inter-
view declares that he has no knowledge OF
any corrupt practice in connection with
the canal in this country. and does not
believe there was any. The only persons
whom it would have been any adyanta
to bribe in Congress were members of the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the House
aud the House special Interoeeanic Canal
Committee. Arguments were made before
the Foreign Affairs Committee that it was
contrary to the Monroe doctrine to allow a
foreign company to control the canal
Thompson says he made an extended argu-
ment TO show that il was not contrary TO
that doctrine. which only forbdS foreign
governmental interference on the isthmus.
he showed the section of the charter
granted by the Colombian Government ex-

WAS 1T REVENGE?
Attempt to Ditch a Fresno
Train.
PHIPPS AT THE THROTTLE.
Belief That Evans and Sontag Were
Trying to Play Even With
the Engineer.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

FRESNO, Jan. 23-An attempt TO wreck a
train was made ON the Portervlle branch
road Sunday night, at 100 O'Clock, the pur-
pose being to ditch the passenger train that
leaves here for Porteryile at 80 in the
evening.
Phipps, the engineer who was held uD by
SOntag and Evans, runs this train. The
rOadbed is in excellent condition. and the
train when nearing Porteryilie sped along
at very fast rate.
The spot where the wreck was attempted
is between Roth and Porterville, not very
far from the latter place.
The persons who planned the wreck had
piled ties across the track and had laid a
steel rail in front of the ties.
In addition they had sunk whistling-
post in the middle of the track. Phipps,
seeing the obstruction, made every effort to
stop the train, but he was too close to re-
duce the speed much. and when he struck
the rail that was placed in front of the ties
the engine slid along the track, scattering
the ties In all directions.
One OF the ties was lifted in the air and
hurled past the freman's side of the cab.
The whlstlIng post afforded but little OBJ
struction, ana good luck would have it that
nobody was hurt beyond little shaking
up. Little or no damage was done to the
engine.
Nobody was seen In the vicinity of the
obstruction when the train stopped. The
passengers were badly frightened, for they
expected that they were about TO go through
a train-robbing experience.
People in the neighborhooi believe that
Evans and Sontag are responsible for the
attempt. it being supposed to be their in-
tention to get even with Phipps for testify
ing against George Sontag.

BIG INTEREST.
How Deposits Were Drawn to the

Their savings were drawn to the bank by
the payment OF 6 per cent interest. A COM
mittee of the bankers of the city was in
consultation all night cOneerting means to
prevent undue excitement and a run on the
other institutions. President Mcfarland of
the First National said to-day he believed
the bank would pay all deposiors in full.
but the stockholders would be compelled to
put up a large amount. The immediate
cause of the failure was the fact that the
State Treasurer notified the Capitol Ma
tional that lie should require 100000
within the week. Treasurer BARLEY ar
rived this morning. He states that mas
much as the Governor, Secretary of State
and Attorney General approved the bond
of Mosher and Cutwelt for $4,000, under
the law which went into effect when he
took charge Of the State funds. he and his
bondsmen are released from all liability.

marked courtesy" Afterward he was
forced to employ assistance in replying to
letters, but every note was scrupulously an
swered.
Abaut five years ago DIR. Brooks visited
this city and preached one sermon, which
will not soon be forgotten by the fortunate
members of the congregation to whom it
was addressed. He was. indeed. great
speaker. He combined distinctness of
utterance with maryelously rapid flow OF
language. His evident earnestness and
faith were powerfully impressed upon his
auditors and it is not unlikely that in
history he will rank as the first of American
pulpit orators.
The new Trinity Church in Boston was
built for him at cost Of over S1,000,C00.
Yet he was essentially a man of the people,
and did not draw the dollar line In the
problem Of salvation. Although by parish
laws his church was nne of rented pews, lie
held that it must be conducted in the true
spirit of Christian hospitality. He caused
many free seats to be erected, ignored the
claims of pewholders who came too late to
prevent strangers securing their places. and
once laughingly remarked: IF there is no
more room, as many as can sit in my pulpit
are welcome"
DR.. Brooks was the highest type of a
patriotic American. An instance OF this
was given the past summer during his visit
to London, his first visit there as bishop.
DR.. Brooks had long been an ardently well
coined visitor to the English capital. The
late Dean Stanley and many other noted
men had been among his more intimate
circle of friends. He had been "com-
manded" to preach before the Queen. and
being asked at that occasion il he felt afraid
to do so he replied: mo; have preached
before my mother" So it was natural that
when the great American pulpit orator ap-
peared again invested with the dignity of
the episcopate he should be warmly greeted
and honored. II was MY Lord Bishop"
here and my Lord Bishop" there. and all
The sturdy Amerlcanism Of Phillips Brooks
rose in protest.
II am not lord bishop" he exclaimed; ;
I'VE have no such titles in our country, and
you will oblige me by not using that form
of address"
As religious teacher he was a mighty
power in the land and piety such as his
transformed abstract principles into living
truths. This brief extract from one of his
SCI NUNS luulCdtcS tHo DcdQtiAui tucOiOSy ~
which he held allegiance: Come, live in
the spirit. That Is the only life. 1t is not
a life Of sacrifice and seclusion and sadness,
but the life OF all fulIness OF purpose, all
greatness Of achievements, all gadness and
satisfaction, Do not forsake your business,
your profession, but be by so much more
the better merchant, engineer. lawyer.
Christian manhood is only anbOod de-
veloped to its normal capacities. Manhood
has not reached its possibilities until it is
Christian manhood"
He was the author of number of books
on religious topics. and many of his bril-
liant sermons have been published, yet
he will best be remembered as a man of
genius who sought not wealth nor fame,
but rejoced in the privilege of bringing
sympathy, hope and deep sense of duty to
his fellow-men.

SEA BREEZE BURNED.
Destruction of the Bark on the
Gulf.
Escape of the Crew of the Blazing
yessel-The Last Ship to Sight
the Fated Jeanette.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

SAN DIEGO. Jan. 23.-The Pacific Mail
steamer San Jose, Captain Russell, fifteen
days from Panama. arrived early this morn
ing and proceeded at 10 80 to San Francisco
with fifty-eight passengers and 96O tons of
freight, including 1000 bags of coffee. She
left forty-one passengers here.
Among those for San Francisco are thirty
eight men from the American bark Sea
Breeze, owned at San Francisco by James
McKeDna, and in which Captain Worth
sailed from there December 10 for the Gulf
of California to secure wood at Madre ISL
and for whaling expedition to the Arctic
via Honolulu. The vessel secured enough
wood by January 16 and was to weigh
anchor the next day, but early in the morn
ing fire broke out as they lay in twenty
fathoms and she was burned to the waters
edge and sank. The forty-three men COM
posing the crew had escaped in small boats
to the island and it's Governor sent them to
the mainland at San Bias in two schOoners.
When the San Jose came down they were
taken by her to Mazatian to the nearest
Consul to get papers for passage. but he
declined to assume the responsibility and
said they would nave to straighten it out at
San Francisco. Five of the wrecked crew
remained below.
The Sea Breeze sailed from San Francisco
on December 10 of last year with a crew Of
thirty-nine all told, in command of Captain
B. B. Worth. The regular commander.
Captain Green, was to have met the vessel
at Honolulu on her return from her south
ern trip after sperm whales.
The Sea Breeze was built at New Bed
ford, Mass, in 1853 and has been very
successful craft. She was valued at s2S, 600,
of which S13500 is covered by insurance.
An interesting element in the history of the
old Sea Breeze is that she was the last yes
sci to sight the Inflated Jeanette. On
September 8, 1879. late in the afternoon. the
Sea Breeze was lying to the southwark and
eastward of Herald Island when a steamer
hove in sight and passed within half mile
TO the northward. She was recognized from
the description as the Jeanette, and the
Sea Breeze signaled her, but the signals
were unanswered. That night the jean
nette was again seen working into THU ice
TO the northward, and was kept In view till
well along into the following night. This
was the last seen of the Jeanette by any
vessel. The Sea Breeze was away to the
westward of the whaling fleet when the
Jeanette was seen, and Captain Barnes
SAID on his return that the condition OF the
ice and the weather made him feel that the
pilot on the Jeanette had used very bad
Judgment in taking the vessel into the Ice
at that place and time. A very severe
storm came on two days afterward. in
which the Sea Breeze was nearly lost.

at the time. Yesterday 1t was developed
that Cuff had the smallpox. Last night
The patient was removed to the Pesthouse

The discovery was made to-day that
man named Shoup and his four children
were down with smallpox at their home in

Mrs. Shnup and her babe have thus far
escaped. The house has been guaranteed,

he had smallpox. Undoubtedly he brought
the disease with him % the Shoup family.
