TALKED OF A BOND ISSUE,
Assistant Secretary Curtis
Mission to Wall Street
Bankers.
He Was Sent to Learn the Senti-
ment Regarding Another Call
for Subscriptions.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 15.-The
Tribune tomorrow will say:
When William E. Curtis, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, was in New
York recently it was not announced that
he, as the representative of Secretary
Carlisle, discussed with New York bankers
the necessity for another issue of Govern
ment bonds. In fact it was saio by those
who are generally supposed to know what
Mr. Curtis talks about in his frequent Wis
its to this city. that he did not come to
discusss bonds.
Now it is known, however, upon the most
trustworthy and indisputable authority
the authority of bank president who saw
Mr.. Curtis-that the question of another
issue of bonds was discussed, and that Mr..
Curtis stopped in New York mainly for the
purpose of finding out how the banking
community in this city felt about call for
subscriptions to more Government bonds.
When Mr.. Curtis was here last week he
talked with ]. Pierpont Morgan. with
Conrad Jordan, the head of the sub
treasury in this city, and with other in

Correspondence Between Lord
Dunraven and the Yaoht Club
Made Public.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 15-At the
meeting of the officers of the New York
Yacht Club held Friday afternoon and
evening, Mr.. IseHn submitted these propo-
sitions for their consideration:
First-To call off the races of Septem Der
10 and u, and offer Lord Duuraven to sail
two other races in their stead.
Second-To reopen the whole question of
the races and TO call off all that had been
sailed. This done, to offer Lord Dunraven
to sail him three other races for the cup
In other words to begin anew and wipe
out the old record.
After a lengthy discussion, during which
the subject was treated from every con-
ceivable point, the propositions were SUBJ
mitted to a vote, which resulted mega
lively.
The Suns special from Newport says
that it is rumored that Lord Dunraven is
willing to race Valkyrie against Defender
off Newport for cup or money and since
his arrival there he has been approached
to this end. About the clubs, the CORE
spondent adds, they are looking for a race
and declare that Dunrayen will go half
way if Iselin will meet him.

NATIVES WERE VICTIMS.
But Nine Survived Out of a
Total of TWo-SCore
Cases.
STRICT QUARANTINE ENFORCED
Business at the Island Capital Is
Being Carried On as
Usual.

LONDON, ENG, Sept. 15.-The Standard
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Honolulu, dated September 4, saying that
since August 13 there have been forty
cases of cholera and thirty-one deaths
from the disease. All the victims were
native Hawaiians. A strict quarantine is
enforced. Business is going on as usual.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Sept. b
Despite Surgeon-General Wyman's asser-
tion that there is no apprehension over
the prevalence of Asiatic cholera in Ha-
waii, the force of Government officers on
the North Pacific coast has been materially
increased the past week, and more ap-
pointments of reputable physicians are to
follow at different ports, and they will be
placed on the regular payroll and have all
the authority of regular officers OF the
United States Marine Hospital service. AS
is the case, Puget Sound and many of the
northern coast collection districts include
more ports than could be watched by the
quarantine officers of the port of entry,
and the additional appointments resulted
as an extra precautionary measure.
a private letter to-day from an officer
OF the U. s. steamer Bennington, now IN
Honolulu, says the seaman of that vessel
who died recently survived only twelve
hours after being stricken Dy cholera, and
was, up TO the 9th inst, the date of the
letter, the only European who had sue
cumbed- Immediately upon the develop
ment of the case the vessel was placed in
strict quarantine, and removed several
miles outside the harbor in clear water,
where it has since remained without COM
munication to or from the shore.
It is understood among the officers and
men of the vessel that they are not to go
back to the Hawaiian capital until the
epidemic is entirely stamped out. In view
of the fact of the large trade between Puget
Sound and the islands, it is a conspicuous
and ominous fact that no vessels to speak
of have arrived since the contagion first
made its appearance.

FOUGHT TO THE DEATH.
A Constable Slain Before the
Murderer Was Shot
Down.
TRAGIC END OF THE CHASE.
Frequent Encounters Between the
Bandit and His Determined
PurSuerS.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. 16.-A posse of
officers has been in pursuit of Isadore
Renterias, the murderer of Ramon Araise,
since the night of the 9Th, when the shoot
ing occurred at San Luis Rey, and ter
minated the chase yesterday at Mesa
Grande. Renterias was game and killed
one officer, Juan Castro, before he in turn
was shot down by Constable Ben Hubert
of Oceanside.
After the shooting of Araise at San Luis
Key Renterias, who was 63 years old but
strong and wiry, made his way on foot to
inaccessible regions around Smith Mount
ain, where he was tracked by officers. A
running fight had been kept up for some
days, but Renterias was such a good shot
and so wide awake that the officers were
forced to keep their distance.
Renterias method was to hide in COM
manding position in the thick brush dur
ing the day, where he could pick off any,
body approaching him. During the night
he would strike out, and knowing every
foot OF country, could choose the best
places for defense. On several occasions
he was ambushed and the officers were
shot at, but escaped.
Renterias was located on Thursday in
La Jolla Valley, at the foot of Smith
Mountain, and on Friday he had reached
the densely wooded country on the Mesa
Grande. There the officers forced him to
cover, and took precautions to prevent his
escape.
Yesterday morning fight occurred, in
which Renterias killed horse ridden by
one of his pursuers. The officers retreated
and prepared for another attack at noon.
Meanwhile Renterias changed his position
and reached an ambush nearer the officers,
so that when they approached he easily
killed Castro. Constable Hubert was
on the alert and returned the fire imme-
diateIy, killing Renterias at the first shot.
The whole affair was over within two
minutes. Mesa Grande is thirty miles
from a telegraph station, and the first
news was received this morning from
Foster station. Word was sent in that
Hubert gave himself up, and that the
bodies would reach Foster tonight. Dis
trict Attorney Sweet, Deputy Sheriff Jen-
nings and Coroner Risdon went to Foster,
and will hold an examination tomorrow.
Castro was valuable officer and noted
for courage. He was previously in the
same service at the City of Mexico. Rent
erlas was hard character, and had served
terms in this State and Lower California
for violent crimes. His shooting of Araise
was uncalled for, Araise having run to
Renterias' tent while the latter was beat
ing and choking his wife and dragging her
along the ground by the hair. Araise is
still living, but with slight chance of re-
cOvery.

A TOung Summer DrotCued and WouId-
Be Rescuers Ndrroscly Escape.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. 15.-Leon Fer
ner, Ed Fletcher and several other young
men went in bathing at Ocean Beach, near
this city, this afternoon, in company with
A. McGegin, middle-aged man. Ferner
went out twenty yards farther than the
others, where he had to swim to keep his
place, and in short time cried out that
he was drowning.
Fletcher went to his assistance and Me
Gegin followed. The undertow was so
strong that they could not make headway
and McGegin let go. Soon afterward
Fletcher was compelled to let go, though
Ferner begged them to remain. Ferner
sank and Fletcher began to go down.
McGegin was fighting for life against the
undertow. Three young men on the beach
struck out and saved Fletcher, who was
unconscious, and also assisted McGegin,
who was half hour in getting ashore.
They worked with Fletcher for an hour
before bringing him to consciousness.
Ferner's body was not recovered. He
came from Rochester, N. Y, six months
ago. His mother lives there and was
notified this evening of her sons death.

.ENCOUN TERED HIGH WINDS
Rough Passage of the Ocean
Liner Paris Across the
Atlantic.
One of Several Passengers
Injured.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 15.-The
American Line steamship Paris reached
her dock at o'clock this morning, after
having spent the night at quarantine.
The steamer experienced some very
rough weather last Monday morning.
The force of the wind was such as to
injure several of the people aboard. One
of those injured was John P. Hopkins, ex-
Mayor of Chicago. He was thrown down
in the cabin and received some bruises OF
the leg. Another of the injured was the
Rev. Roland Hale of England, an Episco-
pal clergyman on his way to Boston. He
was knocked down on the deck by the
wind and sustained fracture of the right
leg.
Captain James Eschen of Alameda, Cal,
a second cabin passenger, was standing
near doorway when the wind slammed
the door against him, cutting his scalp
and bruising his shoulder. The captain
started for San Francisco to-day.
Among the prominent Americans aboard
were the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, d. B.
Mcclellan and General B. f. Tracy.

PLATT HOLDS COURT.
Netc York State Slate Mapped Omt by Re-
publican Leaders.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Republi-
can headquarters at Congress Hall had an
almost deserted appearance tonight, while
over at the United States Hotel the office
has an air OF activity that is refreshing.
Hon, T. C. Platt held court at his head
quarters and reviewed the situation with
his supporters. That heis more interested
in the Presidential situation than any
thing else is conceded. The excise ques-
ton which is commanding more or less
attention, is sort of secondary considera-
tor with him, and according to reports
he is giving it but little thought.
The working of the convention is mapped
out and the slate formed will go through
without any trouble. Congressman Sher-
man of Utica will be temporary chairman
and Clarence Lexow of Nyack permanent
chairman. The old State officers will be
nominated with the exception of Court of
Appeals Judge. What little strife there is
in the convention will come over this
nomination, but without question Platt's
man, Judge Martin, will be the successful
nominee.

GOTH4MS THIRSTY CLUBMEN.
No Liquor Serred on the sabbath Except
Hitb Meals,

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 15.-It was
the general verdict that this was as dry a
Sunday as New York has ever seen. Great
interest was centered in to-day's events as
it was expected the police would pay
special attention to the clubs and make a
test case as to the rights of these institu-
tions to sell liquor on Sunday.
In anticipation of the probable action Of
the Police Commissioners the great ma
jority of the big clubs decided that it
would be better for a time, at least, to
accept the Interpretation of the Sunday
law. The board of governors of many
clubs decided on Saturday that the visiting
lists should be suspended and that no
drink should be served to members with
out meals. The new Manhattan Athletic
Club went a step farther than this and
decided that no liquor should be sold at
all on Sunday until the political question
is decided.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY REVEALED.
HOtU CoOk County Insane Patient Met
His Death.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 15.-The body of
David Adams, the patient at the Cook
County Insane Asylum, whose death it is
alleged resulted from assaults and neglect
of attendants, was exhumed to-day by
order of the Coroner.
The examination conducted by the
Coroner's physician, DR.. Lewis J. Mitchell,
disclosed the fact that the mans nose had
been broken, the side of his face badly
bruised and the cartilage of the nose torn
from its fastenings to the iawbone. The
books of the institution showed that
Adams died from paresis three weeks after
the injuries were sustained, and that an
other patient has struck Adams on the
head with a chair because Adams had
stolen his coffee aud then hurled the hot
beverage in the face of his victim.

with some arrangement or irregularity in
the action of the organs distinctly feminine.
Neglect and wrong living will show them
selves first in the most delicate organs of
the whole body. With such weakness and
sickness so prevalent, it is to be expected
that the bearing of children would be
fraught with dread and danger 1t should
not be so, of course. Nature never meant
it to be so. The performance of the high
est function of which a woman is capable
should not be accompanied by pain. If
perfectly natural living were the rule, it
would not be so. As lives are lived, some
thing else must be done. A remedy must
be found. For over thirty years, DR. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, n. Y. During that time he has
treated thousands of women. He has
found in his "Favorite Prescription"
never-failing specific for female complaints.
It strengthens the whole body and when
taken during CESSATION shortens the period
of labor and makes childbirth well-nigh
painless. 1t also promotes an abundant
secretion of nourishrnent for the child.
