B|KERS Want VENGEANCE
Sacramento Clubs Prosecuting
Two Men Who Drove Over
Wheelmen.
A States Prison Confronts the
Enemies of the Knicker booker
Fraternity.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 13.-The ex-
animation of Conrad Streng and John
Hossli upon a charge of assault with
means of inficting great bodily injury,
conducted in Judge Davis court to-day, is
exciting the greatest interest among the
wheelmen OF this city. Thomas A. Wal
thew, the complaining witness, was riding
along the street on his bicycle when sud-
denly, he claims, he heard shouts and the
rush of rapidly approaching horse.
Looking over his shoulder, he saw the de-
PENDANTS, who were in a cart, seemingly in
pursuit of him, and wildly beating their
horse.
He turned into a side street and hugged
the curb, but the next second the horse
which had been turned into the side street
directly behind him, struck him and
knocked him to the ground and the men
in the cart drove on, both of them looking
back and laughing at him.
There were numerous witnesses of the
affair who testified in the same line, and
there were others who claimed to have
seen similar horse and cart, containing
two men, chasing bicycIists in different
portions of the city throughout the day.
The accused are two men who reside
near Elk Grove and it is claimed thew
were under the influence of liquor. The
defense will probably endeavor to prove
that it was an accident, occurring through
the actions of vicious horse.
For some time past wheelmen have been
chased at different times and the club
members are deter mined to put stop to
this work. The offense Is a State prison
crime.
The examination was continued until
tomorrow.

MAPPING OUT BUSINESS.
The Republican Steering Com
mittee of the Senate Holds
a Conference.
Calling Up of the Bankruptcy, Immi'
grafton and Free Alcohol Bills
Discussed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 13.-The
Republican Senate steering committee had
a meeting this evening to consider the
order of business, but was unable to come
to any conclusion, and adjourned to meet
again Saturday morning. At that time, il
conclusion is reached, caucus of the
Republicans of the Senate will be called,
to meet Monday morning.
The several matters for which attention
IS being urged by Senators were taken up
and discussed. There appeared to be a
feeling that it would be unwise to permit
the calling up of the bills for the estab-
lishment Of uniform system of bank
ruptcy, for the refundiug of the debt of the
racine railroads and like measures which
will precipitate prolonged debate.
The immigration bill now on the calen.
dar appears TO meet with general commen-
datlon anu the committee believed it could
be called up with reasonable proba oility of
its passage. This will probably be BRO
vided for.
The bill to repeal the free alcohol in the
arts clause OF the present tariff bill was
also discussed for some time, but no con-
clusion was reached. There is a marked
division of sentiment in the Republican
ranks on this question, but the indications
are that the committee will report TO the
caucus in favor of giving this measure a
day at court.
Whether it can be passed is question
the committee does not presume to an
swer. 1t is understood that the House
will pass the repeal as an independent
measure, and If that is done the concur
renee of the Senate will be urged.
All of these matters were permitted to
stand open, however, and an effort will be
made to dispose of them definitely by next
Saturday

POSTPONED AGAIN..
The Oregon Still Unable to Make Her
Trial Trip in Santa Barbara
cbnn1eI

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May 13.-The
battle-ship Oregon did not make her trial
trip to-day. 1t was ideal weather, but
Irving NJ Scott was not satisfied with the
swell in the channel so the attempt was
again postponed. 1t is calculated that the
heavy swell would knock quarter of a
knot off the vessels speed and that would
mean loss Of SIS, 900 premium.
In the morning it gave promise of per-
fectIy calm course. At 80 A NJ. the Una
dilla was sent to a position off Goleta
Point, and at $40 A. NJ. the battle-ship got
under way. She steamed slowly down to
point opposite the tugboat, and then put
about and returned to her anchorage. 1t
is reported here that storm has been rag
ing sixty miles up the coast, and that it
was the swell raised by it that caused the
trouble.
All the Oregon's equipments, batteries,
stores, armament, magazine and other
appliances were thoroughly inspected yes

READY TO FIGHT BACK,
Senate Bill to Retaliate Against
Germany's Commercial
Warfare.
Called Forth by the Reichstag's In.
crease of the Bounty on Raw
Exported Sugar.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-The
Senate Committee on Commerce will take
up for consideration to-mor Senator
Perkins bill imposing countervaling
duties on all products OF American growth
and American manufacturers. This bill is
somewhat similar to that introduced some
time ago in the House by Representative
Meiklejohn of Nebraska, with this excep-
ton, that it is more comprehensive and
much wider in its scope.
The motive actuating the introduction
of this bill was the threat of the German
Government, which has always been hos
tile TO American products and manu-
facturers, of increasing the export duty on
raw and refined sugars. This threat was
consummated yesterday when the Reichs-
tag increased the export bounty on both
raw and refined sugars.
Messrs. Willett and Gray. the recog-
nized Wall-street authorities on sugars,
to-day sent information to interested
parties in Washington of the purport of
the new German law and its effect on
American beet and cane sugar product.
This information shows that Germany
has increased her bounty on raw exported
sugars from 1917 cents to 81 cents per 100
pounds, or just double the amount of
bounty now paid by her, and on refined
sugars from 2178 cents to 2S1z cents per
100 pounds.
To compensate herself for the increased
bounty, she has advanced the tax on sugar
for home consumption from Is to q marks
This means nothing less than commercial
warfare.
Senators Perkins and White were seen
to-day and shown the cablegram received
from Berlin by Willett and Gray. They
expressed the intention of Immediately
pressing the passage of some remedial
legislation.
Senator Caffery of Louisiana, who is a
mem ber of the Senate Committee on Com
merce and whose constituents are greatly
| interested IN the proposed legislation, told
THE CALL cores ponder that he was satis-
fed the Perkins bill would be favorably re-
ported to the Senate.
Senator Frye, chairman of the com
mitJee, Is well disposed toward the adop-
tlon OF some retaliatory measure and the
prospect OF the bills favorable considera-
ton by the committee appears to be good.
What Its fate in the Senate will be
is problematical, but if the coun-
try is generally given to understand
that by means of gifts, donations, or
bounties 1t is possible for foreign govern
ments to not only displace the products of
American growth and manufacture, but to
invade our own markets to the detriment
of our products, the action of Congress
may readily be foreseen.
Should the Perkins bill pass the Senate
1t would have smooth sailing through the
House, as the sentiment at that end of the
Capitol building is strongly in favor of re-
tallating upon the foreign Governments
wEose products are now flooding our
markets.

Beside the Mongol's Corpse Lay
a Murdered Woman and
Her Child.
TRAVELLING MEN ARE ACCUSED
Some Think the Chinaman Committed
the Deed and Then Killed
Himself.

YREKA, CAL, May 13.-A mysterious,
blood-curdling tragedy was enacted at the
Prather ranch in Butte Creek Valley this
morning. The bodies of Mrs. Henry
Schwatka, her little daughter Irene and a
Chinaman were found by two men travel
ing by the house. A younger child was
found with scar across its forehead, as if
the intention of the murder had been to
Kill it also. All three of the dead bodies
had bullet holes through the foreheads,
and death must have been instantaneous
In some way story gained credence
that the killing had been done by the
Chinese who then committed suicide.
Just what grounds exist for this story is
not clear, and the feeling here duplicates
the two men who claim to have found the
bodies.
Henry Schwatka, the husband of the
murdered woman, says that the murder
was committed while he was attending to
some work on the ranch. Two men who
were travelling through the country from
Washington discovered blood on the door
and on investigating found the three
bodies.
They Immediately notified the nearest
neighbor, Mr.. Truax, but before he was
reached the scene. Coroner Scofield left
for the scene of the tragedy this evening
for the purpose of holding an inquest.
Mrs. Schwatka has one brother, Henry
Sleeper, working in the Crocker printing
Office, San Francisco, and one sister, Mrs.
A.W. Wallis, in the Postal Telegraph office
in Los Angeles. Her father is prominent
Mason and Odd Fellow, and is pioneer
resident of California, having been one of
the first men to reach California in 1S49.
The news of the horrible death of his
daughter has utterly prostrated him.
Sheriff Hobbs and District Attorney
Raynes left for the scene of the tragedy
this evening, and will make a thorough
investigation.
Suspicion has been directed toward the
men discovering the bodies, and they will
be detained pending the Coroner's inquest.
Butte Creek Valley, the scene of the
murder, is on the western portion of Sis
kiyou County. The husband of the muir
dered woman and child is the foreman of
the Prather ranch, and is highly re-
spected. He is a nephew of the late
Lieutenant Schwatka of Arctic fame.
The body of Mrs. Schwatka and that of
her little daughter will be brought to
Yreka for burial.
Excitement is intense throughout the
entire county, ana should it be found
that others than the Chinaman had a
hand in the murder q repetition of the
lynching in this place last fall will be
sure to follow.

"Count" Campau. Butler pitched fine
game after the third inning. Victoria

was trile wild. He should develop into
