SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-The Pacific
mail steamer San Jose arrived in port
today and reports quite an exciting ex.
periencs which occurred on her voyage
down the coast. The trouble occurred
at Corinto. The mate was assaulted by
boatman who had come ON board un-
observed, and when ordered off, struck
the mate with his fist and then jumped
overheard. Mate Robinson, crszsd with
pain picked up grindstone and hurled
1t at his sssailant who lodged the mis-.
sile by diving under his boat. The
stone struck boatwoman and laid her
scalp open.
Shortly after this occurred boat load
Of soldiers came out from shore and the
officer in charge demanded the eurfsn-
der OF Robinson, but Captain Russell
refused to deliver him to the authori-
ties. and the soldiers went ashore, VOW
ing that the steamer should not leave
port until the mate was surrendered,
and that If the vessel attempted to leave
port she would be fred on.
Captain Russell went ashore to see the
American conoul, who advised the cap
tain to surrender the mate to the al.
thorities, which he did.

UNEASY ABOUT HlAZINTOFF.
He Attempted to XIII n Privy Councils
and Has Escaped From Custody.

He Attempted to Kill Privy Councillor
and Has Escaped From Custody.
Private advices from ST. Petersburg
say that great uneasiress prevails in
court circles there over the escape Of
the young man Hiazintof, who couple
of months ago attempted to kill Privy
Counselor Pobyedonoszeff. When in
prison, Hiazintoff's demeanor was so
strange that he was sent to an asylum
for the insane and there kept under OBJ
servation night and day in special care.
On June ~ he pleaded that the terribly
hot weather was killing him, and in
consequence he was for the first time
allowed to take exercise in the asylum
grounds with the other inmates. On
the same afternoon he managed to es-
cape, evidently with the connivance of
somebody within the asylum, and moth
ing has since been heard Of him.
The uneasiness referred to is due to
the belief that Hiazintoff will most GER
tainly be heard from sooner or later in
connection with some desperate deed.
He is militant nihilist, imbued with
fanatical belief in the necessity .ss4
shedding the blood Of tyrants who staad
in the way of the regeneration Of his
country, and he is utterly reckless of his
own life. The police are confident that
he will not attempt to leave Russia and
are equally certain that he will not long
remain idle. London Cor. New York

TWO TREED BY CALIFORNIA LIONS
The Thrilling Experience of
Some Los Angeles Hunters.

Agaia-Oh, What
Night

II. L. Rice and Frank Sharp, ex-fire-
men of the Santa Fs railroad. had q
thrilling ad, enture last week up the
middle fork OF the San Gabriel csfion,
which they win not forget in hurry.
They had an ambition to hunt big
game. which WAS thoroughly satisfied.
and firmly convinced that the California
lion can supply all the entertainment
that any reasonable man wants without
putting him to the necessity OF going to
Africa or getting into a cage with Col,
Boone's Psrnell.
Tho friends of the gentlemen are hav.
ing considerable fun at their expense,
which they take in good part, and they
do not aeem to mind being chaffad so
long as they rsaliEs that they are safe
at home in LoR Angeles and not skin-
ming up fir trees over the divide, with
q haunting fear that every moment they
may expect to be nipped by 9 sturdy
California lion.
The young man left the city last Mon
day for camp OF about month in tho
mou ntains.
They took . camping outfit with them
and were quite we'll prepared with all
necessary articles. Their avowed pur-
pose was to get some California lions
if they could Go go, and that was the
game they started out to lind.
At AzusA they hired two lively buEros
from Mr. Roberts and struck out up the
San Gabriel in the best OF spirits. They
went up the middle fork and pushed
over the divide into the big timber on
the north side OF the mountains.
The country thsrsabouts is rough,
decidedly 10, and the hunters made
alow progress. Along towards evening
they selected likely spot and proceeded
to 90 into camp. They had not selected
the place for q permanent camp, but
stop thore that night. The burrcs were
staked out near the camp and the boys
had supper. Afterwards preparations
Tsrs made for the night, and just about

fenceless burros and soon put them both
out of misery. Then the lions had a
least. 1t had grown quite dark by this
time, but from the racket kept up the
men up the fir trees concluded that there
must have been half dozen lions who
participated in the Generalization OF
their camp.
They took particular pains to tuck
their feet up under them and make
themselves es small as possible to es
cape discovery by the savage beasts be-
low. Busy with the burros the lions
paid no attention to thei, shivering
owners, down whose backs tho cold
chills kept chasing. as they heard but
did not sec the frightiul banquet going
on few feet below them.
After time the lions became sated,
They must have been very hungry. for
the patient pack animals of the cam pers
were peculiarly tough pair, with mus
cies like leather. The captives thought
it good time to frightsn the brutes away
II they could. One OF them had taken a
revolver with him into tha tree and the
other winchester. With these FIRE was
opened and iusllade poured into the
camp. There we're howls of pain and

peetsd attack, combined with the leth-
argy after their burro banquet, sent the
lions into the trees and soon everything
was quiet as the grave.
Notwithstanding the seeming peace
iulness that prevailed neither Rice nor
Sharp felt any great esgernesa to leave
his perch in the tree. Neither liked to
ask the other to climb down first, and
so the hours passed slowly away until
daylight. By that time both men were
nearly dead with cold and stiff fsom the
crsmped positions in which they had
passed the night. Their camp presented
picture difficult to describe. What
was left OF the two burros, and 1t was
very little, was not . pleasant sight.
The lions had turned everything topsy
tnrvy, and had even made away with
their stock OF bacon.
1t was not very cheerful prospect for
the hunters of big game. They had
been beaten in the, campaign and ac-
knowledged the dorm. Their retreat
was as demoralized as that of Napoleon
from Moscow. They were obliged to
make the best OF their way afoot back
to Azusa. 1t was long and exceeding
" tireaome march, but the boys finally
made it. and reached Los Angeles Sat-
urday night. They were obliged to de.
scribe the loss of the burros to Mr.. Rob.
erts. and after paying him $40 apiece for
the unfortunate animals decided that it
was the laet straw.

The Mistakes of MIR. Greshn mn
From the New York Tribune

rum the New 10TH
Secretary Gresham has not been fortu-
nate in his dealings with the beligcrent
eastern powers. At the outset. he commit
ted the indiscretion Of characterizing the
action of Japan in language betokening the
p-ejudices of partisan of China. He re-
quired the American minister in Toxic to
announce that the United States views
with regret the levying of war by Japan
upon a weak and defenseless nation like
Corea." That was IN astonishing blunder.
since Japan had disclaimed any intention of
making war upon Corea; and it revealed the
State Department S misplaced and offensive
sympathies with China, when impartiality
and neutrality were the requirements Of the
situation. Having made one mistake. Sec
rotary Gresham had an opportunity for re-
pairing it by cordially meeting Japan's
overtures for the revision of the trea ties.
By taking precedence over European pow
ers and opening the way for their action, he
might have maintained the reputation of
the United States as the pioneer in conduct
ing diplomatic intercourse with that coIn-
try. Instead of doing so, he neglected to
act promptly and decisiv ely, and compelled
Japan to negotiate its first revised treaty
with Great Britain.

The United States Veterinary Medical
Association at its thirty first annual meet
ting, held in Philadelphia. adopted a reso-
luton condemning the docking" of horses
tails, and calling attention to the fact that
nature surely intended the tail as the ami
mails defense against the assaults of in
sects. There Is nothing new in the an
nouncement that the tail is a useful APP
pendage, but those persons who are ever
vigilant to avert cruelty TO animals will be
delighted to have the duly-recorded support
of such an authority as the Veterinary
Association. The practice Of docking"
horses tails Is wholly indefensible. Some
people try to justify 1t on the ground that
1t improves the horses appearance; 1t does
not. 1t simply spells the good looks of any
horse operated upon.
