WRECKED DURING A MUTINY
Startling Story Concerning the Loss of
Vessel
Steward of the Missing Ship Says the Bark
Portland Lloyd Was Lost by
Pre-arranged Plan

Philadelphia, March s.-A letter re-
ceived in this city from Charles Jones,
steward of the missing bark Portland
Lloyd, which left Junin for New York on
February 4th, contains the startling in
formation that the vessel was wrecked
during a mutiny on board, during which
the Captain and most OF his crew were
killed. Shortly after the bark left Jun in
with valuable cargo of nitrate it was re-
ported that she had struck on rock at
the entrance to the Bay of Junin and all
hands were drowned. Jones letter de-
clares that the affair was planned at
tempt by the revolutionary party in Peru
to seize the vessels cargo for use against
tue Government. The Captain was knocked
down with hand-spike, the chief mate
was shot dead and two sailors stabbed.
The men at the wheel, seeing that they
were at the mercy of set OF desp erate
men, purposely steered the bark on the
rocks. The steward and A. B. Jellison,
a seaman, were the only members Of the
American crew savec. They suffered
great hardship s and had to lie concealed
for some days before they could escape
the ruffians. 1t is believed most of the
men persisted in the wreck.

D|SONN[D HIS DAUGHTERS
Another Will Contest of Very
Large Proportions
THE FORTUNE OF M'KAY
A Bunch of the Big Estate Goes to
the Widow
The Disinherited Daughters, Both Of Whom
Are narried, File a Protest in
San Francisco

San Francisco, March s.-Another big
will contest was brought into the courts
here today. David Mckay, a. capitalist,
died year ago, leaving an estate valued
at over 5000, 900. He wlled $50, 900 and the
family residence on Pacific avenue, to his
widow All the residue of his estate he
bequeathed to his two sons, David and
Angus, expressly disinheriting his two
married daughters, Mary Seekamp and
Margaret Stewart stating that he had
prev4ouly made ample provision for them.
The will was admitted to probate without
opposition but today the daughters pc
titioned for revocation of the probate
proceedings. They declare that their
father was of unsound mind, and that the
will was procured by undue influence ex-
ercised by the widow and two sons. They
declare that their father was insanely
prejudiced against the Roman Catholic
religion and that their mother and broth
ers used this knowledge to prejudice their
father against them. 1t is alleged that
they represented to the father that his
daughters had joined the Catholic Church
in defiance to his expressed wishes.

WENT UP WITH A ROAR
A Great Explosion on the Tank Steamer
Bawnmore
Two Men Fatally Injured and the Big
Steamship Shaken From Stem to
Stern by the Force

San Francisco, March S.--A terrific ex-
plosion on the tank steamer Bawnmore,
lying at the Artic Oil Works dock at the
Potrero, caused great excitement in that
section of the city this afternoon. Two
men were terribly bruised and burnt re-
ceiving what are thought to be mortal
injuries, and the vessel was badly strained.
Everything on board was thrown into the
greatest confusion. The Bawnmore re-
Gently arrived from Peru with cargo of
crude petroleum, consigned to ]. w.
Grace & Company. The cargo having
been discharged, two workmen with q
candle went into the tanks to clean them
out. Instantly the explosion came, shak-
ing the steamer from stem to STERN
twisting the tanks out of position and
smashing the surrounding woodwork.
Two men were carried out in an insen-
sible condition.
David Llewellyn of Los Angeles was
stunn ed by the gas explosion. His COM
panion, Fred Pilgrim, escaped but re-
turned to rescue Llewellyn, who was taken
to hospital. His arm was badly burned
but he had taken the precaution as he fell,
to cover his head, with his arms, thus
saving his eyes and avoiding facial dis
fgurement. He is brother of Assembly
man William Llewellyn of Los Angeles.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY
Secretary Carlisle viii Arrange for Payment
of Bills

Washington, March S.-The Secretary of
the Treasury will within the next few
day begin the preparation of regulations
under which the appropriation of S., 000-
GOO made by the last Congress as bounty
for sugar produced in 1894 will be made.
The act provides that there shall be paid
on cane and beet sugar produced in 1894
bounty ut the rate of eighttenths Of enc
cent per pound and appropriates So, O00,-
600 for this purpose. The best data OBJ
tainable, however, indicates that the
appropriation is entirely too small and
that something like SO, 100, 900 will be
necessary to liquidate all of the claims on
a basis of eight-tenths of a cent per
pound. In view of the probable shortage
Secretary Carlisle has decided to pro rate
the payments among the producers accord
ing to their yield. This would warrant
IA payment of about IS cent per pound
instead of s. cent. Under this arrange
met all claims will fare alike and scramble
for precedence will be avoided.

MANY ACRES ARE INVOLVED
One of the Biggest Land Suits in
the State Being Prepared
Title to Property in Tulare, Fresno, MERGED,
Hariposa and Other Counties Is
Clouded by Litigation

San Francisco, March s.-One of the
biggest land suits ever filed in this state
is being prepared by W. S. Barnes, the
local district attorney, and will be filed in
Fresno county. 1t involves land in Kern,
Tuare, Fresno, MERGED, Mariposa and
Santa Clara counties and much city prop
erty in the heart of the county seat, Tu-
lare. The suit concerns the estate of
Samuel Simon, who died March 3, 1885.
1t was supposed that Simon left an es-
tate of great value, principally in lands
situated in many of the counties of
the state. Under his WILL beyond few
legacies OF comparatively little Importance,
the property was bequeathed TO his widow
and his stepson, Jefferson Martin. The
executors were his brothers, S. l, and
Ephraim Simon and they appointed as
appraisers Adolph Zirker and James Man.
asse kirker was a relative of the Simons
and Manasse was an employee of the firm
of Simon & Jacobs, of which Samuel Simon
was senior member. The estate distrib-
uted was worth about Sill, 900.
Some time after the death of Samuel
| Simon his stepson, Jefferson Martin, mar
ried. Jefferson died a few months after
the union, and to his widow a post
humous child, Jeffreys Martin, was born.
The child and the widow were made lega-
tees of his estate, which consisted of his
legacy from his step-father.
Soon after Jefferson Martins death his
mother, Mrs. Simon died, leaving all her
property consisting of her interest in her
late husbands estate to Mrs. Martin, her
son S widow and to his child. This made
Mrs. Julia Martin and her daughter JET
freys, the direct legatees of old Samuel
imon.
Barnes suit is brought in the interests
of Mrs Jefferson Martin anu her daugh-
ter, Jeffreys Martin.
In the complaint it is charged that the
executors procured fraudulent appraise-
ments, and then, upon the basis of these
/ appraisements, fraudulently purchased all
the real property OF the testator
for something like $1,000 less
than its assessed valuation. The entire
estate is assessed at $500, 900 which, it is
claimed is as is ususal with assessed
valuations, sixty per cent less than its
market value. The appraisers valued it
at Sill, 900 and the allegation is made that
the heirs of Samuel Simon have been de-
frauded OF the difference between Sill, 900
and about S425, 000
The widow of Adolph Simon, brother of
Samuel Simon, has brought suit to set
aside the alleged fraudulent purchases of
land, Adolph being legatee under
Samuel's will, but not having received
his share

TRAMPLED BY A HORSE
A Horse Dashes Into a Crowd Of
Orphan Children
Three Of the Little Girls Very Seriously
Injured and One Suffering From
Conclusion of the Brain

Shouts of terror went up yesterday aft
einoon from number of people when
sullIy drawn by a runaway horse came
dashing down Broadway.
1t was about clock when the horse
in its frenzy ran down the street and
threatened at every moment to take the
sidewalk and scatter the pedestrians.
On Fifth street nearly fifty little ones,
the inmates of the Orphans Home, came
down toward Broadway in the charge OF
the Sisters OF Charity.
The children, whose ages ranged from
four to ten years, were in the happiest
mood. They had just visited .the Citrus
Fair; had listened to the music that glad
dened their hearts, and their eyes had
Toasted upon the delicious oranges.
They marched cheerfuly two by two,
unmindtul OF the danger that awaited
them. The car that was to take them to
their home was within half a block, and
the poor children were walking to the
center of Broadway to take their seat
Suddenly the runaway horse approached.
The people who saw that a catastrophe
to run away, and the orphans became be-
wildered and commenced scattering in all
directions.
Colonel Hugh Forrest rushed from the
sidewalk and threw, rather than helped,
those of the children within his reach
Three OF the girls, however, were thrown
by the horse, that kicked and trampled
over their PROSTATE forms in its mad run.
There they laid unconscious, covered with
blood, bruised and helpless.
Some kind hands Immediately took
them gently into Parrish's drug store at
the corner and in an instant Drs. Kan
non, Ward, Boynton, McLennan and
Montgomery were on the scene.
1t was found that the names of the in
jurcd children were Dolores leaves, Leon
tia Morelli and Susie Buisuille. The latter
was dangerously if not fatally injured,
the physicians declaring that she was
suffering from conclusion of the brain.
After their wounds had been attended to
a carriage was ordered and they were
driven to the Home.
The horse belonged to a man named
Duncan, who stated that the animal broke
loose and that he was not responsible for
the accident. He called at the Home
subsequently and offered to pay all ex-
penses for the medical treatment of the
little sufferers and gave instructions to
provide them with whatever they desired,
at his expense.

THE OLD, OLD STORY
Senator Platt Talks of What Change in
Government Will Do

Washington, March S.-Senator Platt Of
Connecticut said today in an inerview
VERY little can be accomplished in the
way of legislation to relieve the distressed
condition of the country until after 1896,
when he hoped the Republicans would be
in power in all branches of the govern
ment." He said: IF the measures, con-
sideration of which has been booked,
should be brought forward in the next
Congress, they would doubtless come in
shape less calculated to do mischief. The
financial situation may improve. We
hope for bimetallism and we also hope
for an improved business condition. If
we should succeed in securing bimetal q.
lsm that would settle the trouble and do
much to diminish the friction which now
prevails with reference to the silver ques-
ton. -

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION
What a Legislative Committee Says Of
the Matter
The Silver Question Bobs Up in the Discussion
and Cuts Very Important
Figure in II

Washington, March S.-A majority of
the special committee of the House ap-
pointed to inquire into the cause of agri-
cultural depression has presented re-
port saying: "Since 1860 the purchasing
capacity of dollar to secure the farmer $
land and his produce has increased four
fold, while the power to pay his taxes and
debts has remained at standstill." Dis
cussing the causes of the depression, the
committee SAYS: "Class legislatin of the
worst character encumbers the statute
books and has been carried on to the
detfiment of agriculture and its depend
ent industries for thirty years, culfhinat-
ing in the crime of the age, the demone-
tization of silver in 1873. The dem oneti-
cation of silver was bold stroke in the
interest. of capital that has reduced the
value of every product in the world.
This is conclusively proven by the
fact that just as silver has deprecated
in like proportions have all other values
fallen in the scale. The tariff system of
taxation is not only unequal, but, as for
the past thirty years administered in
this country, is most unjust to the con-
sumer, and has built up trusts, combines
and gigantic corporations that have not
only amassed immense wealth at the eX-
pense of the people, but has assumed
control of direct legislation so as to per-
petuate their power and satisfy their
greed"
To secure relief, the committee sug-
gests:
First-Silver should be remonetized at
the ratio of Is to 1.
Second-So long as the present unjust
and unequal system of protection contin-
ues agriculture should receive it's just pro-
portion and as this cannot be secured by a
protective tariff, a bounty on export agri-
cultural staples should be allowed similar
to that on fish in 1918 for which John c.
Calhoun voted.
Third-Gambling in futures should be
prevented by law.
Fourth-A national pure food law
should be enacted.
