turn to their houses, assuring them that
hey had nothing to fear from the Turks.
and the strongest assurances had been
given TO the representatives of the powers
by the Turkish government that lives and
property of the Armenians would be pro-
tected. After consultation and delay the
refugees declared they would not leave
the church except on the following con-
ditions:
That amnesty be granted for political
offenders.
That they be permitted to retain the
arms in their possession.
That the prisoners be opened for in
spection by representatives of the powers
and that innocent prisoners be released.
The dragomans refused to consider
these propositions.
In the mean while, however. tbs Ar
menian women and children had come
from the church. but when they noticed
the men had not followed them, they re.
turned weeping and crying out that they
would be killed if they returned to their
homes alone.
The dragomans, in view OF the OBJ
stinacy of the Armenians, held confer
ence during the afternoon with the Ar

STATE EXAMINING BOARD

Claims
Bills for Services Are Disailowed and the
Sending Of a Highway Expert to

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 11.--For the first
time in many weeks since just before the

state board of examiners met with a full
board this afternoon.
An item for $174.40 for the services of
Otto Won Geldern for surveying the sits
of the rock-crushing plant at Fols ON
was rejected, because two of the mem bers
of the board of highway commissioners
were practical engineers and therefore
should have done the work themselves.
| A communication was received from H.
| I. Kowalsky offering to sell the state
| $24. 900 of San joaquin county cour

| bonds from other counties were made ano
| they were taken under advisement.
| The bill of A. Page Brown was pre-.
| sented for $2031. so for services as arch j.
| tect for the state board of harbor com
| missioners.
| The encouragement said that the old
! contract with Brown had been set aside,

THE BOOM IN KAFFIR MINES
Over Which the London Spectators
Have Gone Crazy
A Crash Is Coming and VIII Leave Kafflrs
Deadcr Than the Famous Dutch
Tulip Bulbs

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Levi Mayer. a
prominent attorney of Chicago, who has
been in England for the past four weeks.
has returned to New York and discus sed
quite fully the present craze in London
for Kaffir mine speculation. He corrobo-
rated the current stories of the famous
wealth made in developing the mines in
Southern Africa and declared that only q
beginning had been made in uncovering
the riches of these mines. He believed
that many of the mpanies organized
for developing the mining industry in
South Africa and West Australia were
founded on unproductive properties and
that a grand collapse woult ultimately
follow the boom which they were now
enjoying. But there were many mines
of practically unlimitedlp re-
sources.
Mr.. Mayer said he represented pros.
pective international company whose
shares are being subscribed for by Lon
don and New York bankers. The purpose
of this company will be the purchase
and development of South African. Au-
straIlan and American mines. which,
when found profitable, will be transferred
to subsidiary companies, whose stock
will be listed and sold on the Ameri-
can and London markets.
Mr.. Mayer said that ths Rothschilds
had sent experts to South Africa who
estimated that the so-called Rand mines
alone contained f350,00O, QUO.

Northern Pacific Matters

eTACOMA, Wn., Oct. 11.-Letters have

we'll posted in railway affairs, who state
that President Hill is working harder
than ever to oonsummate his consolida-

bank OF Berlin, representing a majority
of the bondholders. is ready to advance
the money necessary for the re-organiza-
ton of the Northern Pacific, about $15,-
00n, 000 if it is convinced that the Hill
scheme is the right enc. Men here who
have been quietly investigating, state that
the sentiment OF the people OF Washing
nous against consolidation and thai the
Hill-Adams plan will encounter serious
obstacles in the constitution and laws OF
Montana.
1t is given out here today that ex-Sen-
ator Sanders of Montana has gone on the
warpath against the consolidation schem .
with the Intention of fighting it to a
finish. Railroad men here assert that
the Northern Pacific will soon be earning
enough to nearly OF quite pay the annual
fixed charges of So, 600, 600, and that this
PROBABILITY is fast putting the Hill plan
to sleep. Present earnings are given at

Attorney General Harmon within the
last few weeks has received large num-
Der OF letters making inquiry as to the
tights of American citizens under inter-
national law with respect to expressions
of their sympathies with Cubs, either
materially or otherwise, in her present

The following is a reply to one of these
letters and is substantially the same as all
OF the replies sent IN:
II hasten to say in reply to your letter
that the organization OF q military force

etc., with which at home the United
States are at peace.
"As the United States are not only at
peace with Spain. but have with her a
treaty whereby the extradition OF prison
ers and many other benefits are secured. it
behooves all American citizens who have
respect for the laws and obligations of
their country and regard OF Its honor, to
observe this law in spirit as well as in
letter. to be neutral in word as well as in
deed. While there is no law to prevent
American citizens from speaking their
sentiment on any subject. singly or to-
gether. taking such action as you mention
in your letter would, in my judgment
be discourteous in the highest degree to
a friendly power and tend to embarrass
ana obstruct the government in carrying
out its determination faithfully to execute
the laws and fulfill its treaty obligations. 4"
