Pertinent Points About People Who Como
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-23
OPPOSED BY REED.
Favorable Action on the Nicaragua Canal
Bill in the House Not
EY1pcfeH

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22-Pacific
Coast Senators and Representatives are
not hopeful that Congress will act favor
ably on the Nicaragua Canal BILL In the
first place, Speaker Reed has announced
that economy in public expenditures will
be the rule. He will oppose liberal appro-
priations for river and harbor improve
ments and for public buildings, etc. In
the second place, the House committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce is COM
posed largely of railroad men, who will
oppose the Nicaragua bill. But the Coast
Congressman say they will do their best.
The bill would undoubtedly pass the
Senate but would probably fail of passage
in the House, even if it was reported by
the Interstate and Foreign Comme rec
Committee.
In the last Congress California had a
member on this committee, Mr.. Geary. but
this time the State is unrepresented.
Neither has she any member on the Com
mittee on Ways and Means. This is very
unfortunate, especially at this time. when
tariff schedules are to be revised. If Cali
fornia was represented an increase on her
fruits might be secured.
The California members are unorganized
as they always have been. They do
not seem to be able to pull together; con-
sequently California did not receive sim
gle office under the House organization
while other States got from one to twenty
positions. She has no representative
upon any of the important committees,
such as Foreign Affairs, Ways and Means,
Appropriations, Banking and Currency
immigration or Interstate and Foreign
Commerce.

.ALB|NA'S STRANGE FREAK,
A Child at the Age of One Week
Found to Have Hair on
Its Tongue.
Examined by Several Physicians Who
Declare 1t the Only Case
on Record.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. pa curious
physical freak has been discovered on the
tongue of the infant child of Mrs. Carl F.
Wagner, the wife of a railroad man OF
Albina. About week ago, when the
child was but week old, the mother
called the attention of the family ply
sIcian to the fact that she experienced a
peculiar feeling when the child was nurs-
ing.
She had not investigated for herself. but
thought the babe's tongue was exceed
ingly rough for one so young. The doctor
opened the child's mouth and was aston
ished to find its tongue covered with
silken hair of short growth. This was
something extraordinary, and he could
hardly believe that what he saw was a
fact. The attention of some of the most
prominent physicians here has been in
vited to this freak of nature. They say it
is an unparalleled case. It is so extra
ordinary that a report of it will be fur
nished all the leading medical journals in
this country and Europe. A local museum
man has already made Wagner, who is q
poor man, an offer for the use OF the child
so soon as it can be safely taken from its
mother.

CASH FOR CHER0KEES.
Tibesmen to Receive Bountifui Christmas
Present From Uncle Sans
Treasury

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-The
United States Court of Claims will to-mor-
row probably ratlfy an agreement entered
into by counsel for all the parties in interest
in what is known as the Cherokee fund.
This fund, aggregating $2,300,000, was by a
treaty with the Indians paid them for sur
rendering to the United States what is
termed the Cherokee strip. 1t was paid
by the United States to the Treasurer of
the Cherokee Nation and is now in the
United States sub-treasury at st. Louis
awaiting his order. a question arose
when the money was about to be distrib-
uted pro rata among the tribe as to who
was entitled to receive it. There were half
Breeds men who married Cherokee women,
full blooded Cherokees and other Indians
who had become citizens of the Cherokee
Nation.
All the parties in interest have now by
counsel after much pickering, come to an
agreement and submitted it to the board
of claims to ratify, each agreeing to abide
by the courts award.
The essential feature of the agreement is
that each of the several classes, Cherokees,
half breeds, and adopted citizens, is to re-
ceive $295, and If any residue remains it is
to be distributed to the fuIl-blooded Chero-
KEGS.
The court on Thursday last heard oral
argument in support of the agreement. in
which all the counsel expressed their salts
faction with the compromise adopted, and
the Court of Claims tomorrow is expected
to ratify this unanimous agreement and
thus make a Christmas present to the In
dians and others interested.

WACHUSETTS PICKED UP
Brought Into Port Angeles After a
Disastrous Voyage From
NanaimO.
Everything on the Forecastle Swept
Off by the Heavy Seas at
Cape Flattery.

PORT ANGELES, WASH, Dec. 22.-The
ship Wachusetts arrived in port this morn
ing with bad list to starboard and her
cargo flooded with water. She was picked
up off Cape Flattery by the tug HoIyoke
ten miles southwest of the cape, having
experienced terrible storm eighty miles
southwest of the cape. Thursday night,
when the storm was at its height, the
cargo shifted, and shortly after she was
thrown on her beam ends by monstrous
sea.
The cabins aud decks were soon flooded,
and everything in the forecastle was
washed overheard by heavy seas. While
in this dangerous condition it was discov-
cred that she was leaking badly and, al
though the pumps were kept going contin-
uously, it did not seem possible that the
ship could be saved. The boats were got
ready to leave her on short notice, but for
tunately at that time the storm began to
abate, and on Friday the worn-out crew.
three of whom were badly injured, sue
ceeded in getting the water-logged ship off
before the wind, and shortly after, greatly
to their relief, the Holyoke was sighted
and took them in tow.
The Wachusetts left Nanaimo with a
cargo cf coal on the 18th inst. But
in company with several other vessels she
was stormbound at Clallam Bay. Eight
vessels were in her immediate vicinity off
the cape, During the storm they were lost

applications to Join Relief Expeditions
Are Pouring In.
: WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. $50
many applications for accompanying the
Red Cross on the proposed Armenian re-
lief expedition are coming from nurses,
doctors and people of all other vocations
and of all nationalities, nearly, that the
following general reply has been prepared: ::
. The American National Red Cross begs to
acknowledge receipt OF your esteemed com
munioation on the subject of the undertaking
= TO distribute relief in Armenia and your kind
offer of services in the work. In the beginning,
! must apologize for this informal and general
mode of replying to communication which
deserves special and personal response, but 1
trust that d short statement of the circum-
stances viii be sufficient excuse for this method
OF reply.
Since the first intimation of the probability
that this organization would be asked to un-
certake the great and complicated work of de-
livering Americas generosity to the destitute
Turkish subjects, offers of service have poured
in upon US from ell parts of the country, and
in such numbers that it has become an utter
inpossibility to give each one separate ac-
Acknowledgement and consideration; hence the
actual necessity of preparing this circular
answer.
AT the present time 1t is not possible TO def
nitely judge of the number of assistants that
may be required or of the character of help
that will be needed. The Red Cross, having
performed active field service in a dozen great
disasters, has drawn into its ranks staff of
faithful and diligent helpers, upon whom it
can cali at a days notice. and that staff for the
present seems aH-suficient.
Your kind offer has, however, been duly
placed on file, and should later developments
call for an increase of the staff it will give US
much pleasure to consider your letter further.
In the meantime in the midst of the labors of
preparation and voluminous correspondence,
] can only thank you in behalf of the Red
Cross Cor your sympathy, good words and sac
rifcing offer to help. Faithfully yours,
CLARA BARTON,
President American National Red Cross.

Opinions Expressed That the
Prosecution Will Keep on
the Trail.
THE NEW TREASURY DOLLARS
Officials Probing Into the Recent Dis.
covery of the Eighty Thousand
Coins.

CARSON, New, Dec. 22.-The conviction
of Heney has caused great CONSERVATION
among the other mint suspects. 1t was
apparent throughout the trial of the case
that eXtraneous evidence was being used
to help Jones in his fight. Woodburn,
Heney's original attorney. has made a
clean fight for his client, and the putting
of the defendant on the stand was done by
Coffin, who is Jones' attorney, and who
came into the case later. Heney's friends
say that he was slaughtered to save other
people, and now they insist that he tell
all he knows. If he does, many whose
faces during the past few weeks have told
how they felt inside will go to the block.
Carson people are indignant that her
police officers have been dragged into the
bribery of the defense, and since the Gov
ernment has begun to drive the wedge
home with the conviction of Heney the
opinion now is that the prosecution will
not rest until the last man interested in
the mint tbievery is behind the bars. It
is the general belief that the robbing of
depositors has been going on for years,
and mining men are now comparing notes
and are finding out how Systematically
they have been robbed. Some claim that
the general toll extracted on depositor
bullion was from 10 to 15 per cent. The
officials are now probing the appearance
OF $4,000 new dollars in the State treasury
and will take official action. The men i'm
plicated in the running of witnesses out of
the State will all be prosecuted at an early
date.
Henev was visited by his wife in the ia II
last night, but nothing is known of the
result of their conference. All his pfop-
erty is in her hands. 1t is the opinion OF
those who know Heney that he will take
his medicine and not open his mouth on
Tuesday next. Another theory is that he
really knows nothing but was stealing in
dependently, taking with spoon while
others were using diprer, as he was not
the sort of man likely to be taken into a
combine of that sort.

KEY WEST, FLA, Dec. 22.-Castro
Palomino, aid-de-camp to General Maceo,
passed through this city last night en-
route to New York. He is the bearer of
important dispatches to Cuban leaders in
this country.
Palomino reports that Maceo and Gomez
are both in the Matanzas district with
14,000 we'll equipped men. He says that
the insurgents had several engagements
during the past week, the most important
being at Homoguerra and Ell Flores, in
the Cienfuegos district, both of which were
favorable TO the insurgents. He also states
that both Gomez and Maceo entered Mat
anzas without meeting any opposition
from Spanish troop, and that the insur-
gents are ANXIOUS for an open battle, be-
ing confident they can defeat the Spanish
troops,

STRUCK BY A STEAMER,
The British Bark Willowbank
Run Into by the Big
Berlin.
Disappeared After Having Come Into
Collision With Another
Vessel.

PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND, Dec. 22.-The
? British cruiser Blake arrived here to-day
from Chatham. She reports that while
off Portland at o'clock this morning she
passed a large steamer named the Berlin,
which signaled that two of her boats had
been searching for three hours for the
British bark Willowbank, bound for Glas-
row. with which vessel the Berlin had
been in collision. No trace Of her could
he found. The Blake afterward saw an
empty boat belonging to the Willowbank.
The Berlin had hole in her bow. She
proceeded up the channel.
Those on the Blake could not say
whether or not the Berlin was the steamer
% of that name belonging to the lnterna-
tional Navigation Company. This steamer
sailed from Antwerp for New York yester-
day and was reported to have passed
Dover to-day.
SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, Dec. 22.-It is
known that the vessel that was In collision
with the Willowbank was the international
Companv's steamer Berlin. She passed
Hurst Castle this afternoon, bound for
this port, She had sails over her bows
evidently for the purpose of keeping the
water from entering the hole forward.
She was hove-to inside the Needles. and
this accounts for her delay in entering the
Solent. A pilot and two tugs have left
here to assist her in.
The WiIlowbank had crew OF thirty
nine men. They were all saved by the
Berlin, which must have found them af1oat
after speaking the Blake. The only lie
lost was that of the pilot of the Willow
bank who went below to get his clothes
The vessel went down before he had time
to again reach deck.

MARRIAGE OR DAMAGES,
Mrs. Annie George Sues George
D. Saxton for Breach
of Promise.
The Defendant Is a Wealthy Brother
in.Law of Governor
Mckinley.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. pa special
from Canton, Ohio. says: Mrs. Annie
George yesterday filed a suit for $4,000
against George D. Saxton, Governor Nc
KinIey's brother-in-law, alleging breach of
promise. Saxton is a wealthy bachelor,
and moves in the best society.
Mrs. George came from Columbian,
Iowa, and opened dressmaking estab-
lishment in block owned by Saxton.
Her husband sued Saxton for $4,000,
charging the alienation of his wife's affec-
tions. The case has been shifted about on
legal technicalities so that it has not yet
come to a hearing.
Meantime Mrs. George got a divorce
in South Dakota. Her husband alleges in
his $50, 900 suit that Saxton paid the ex-
penses of the divorce case.

SANTA ANA IN DESPAIR.
Compel the Streetcar Company
to Pave

SANTA ANA, CAL, Dec. 22.-The pro-
ceedings of the City Council to compel the
street railway company to pave its track
in the new. paving district. on Fourth
street. between Main and Spurgeon, have
been brought to sudden standstill. The
Council has been working on the line of
issuing bonds as a lien on the track and
franchise to defray the expense of the paw
ing, and having completed the necessary
advertising and other details preparatory
to the issuance of the bonds, obtained an
opinion from James 6. Scarborough, a
prominent attorney of this city, which de-
molished all their plans.
In his opinion Mr.. Scarborough says the
City Council failed to acquire jurisdiction
to order the streetcar tracks paved, or to
issue bonds thereof, and that therefore the
proceedings are void; that the constitu-
tlonality of the act under which the Coun-
Gil is proceeding is so doubtful that no one
can safely invest in the bonds which may
be issued Hereunder. The attorney ad
vises that the duty of paving the street
between its tracks by the streetcar COM
pany can be enforced by mandamus pro-
ceedIngs.
Just what course the trustees will pur-
sue Is not yet determined upon-or at
least has not been made public. It is
rather doubtful that they will attempt by
mandamus proceedings to compel the
company to pave, although the matter ap-
pears to have reached stage where there
is but one alterna tive-to annul the fran.
chise of tie company. This latter action
the streetcar people asked of the board
two months ago, when they abandoned
the operation of the line, but the trustees
felt that in justice to the property-owners
along the blocks the streetcar company
should do its share of the paving.
