TO MOTHER EARTH.
The Remains OF the Late Mrs. Calf Fol-
lowed to Their Resting Place This
Afternoon BY SoFrowIna Friends.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Johan-
ma N. Cali this afternoon from the
family residence on Carter avenue,
was very largely attended by sympa-
thizing friends. There were no SER
v ces either at the home or at the
grave, the p est having performed
tn9t day last evening.
The procession to the South ceme-
terry was one among the most lengthy
that has been seen in Ardmore, a fit
ting attestation of the esteem in
witch the deceased was held while
living.
Now that the mortal remains of
this devoted christian wife and low
ing mother has been consigned to
the torlb, let the be-eft family feel
they have the warmest sympathy Of
all Ardmore in the sad afiliction i'm
posed upon them, rememberirg she
cannot come back to them, but they
can go to her.

of which was mentioned yesterday,

FORTY PERSONS DROWNED
Terrible Disaster by Which the
Steamer Pearl Was
Sunk.
The Vessel Was Cut in Two by Being
Carried Athwart of Cable
in the River.

BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND, Feb. 13.-The
steamer Pearl, having on board about
eighty persons, met with peculiar acci-
dent to-day that resulted in the death of
forty persons. The Brisbane River has
been greatly swollen by heavy rains that
have fallen lately and the current is run
ming very strong. The Pearl was not
powerful enough to stem the current. and
was swung broadside on and carried down
the river.
Before she could get way enough on to
carry her out of danger she was carried
athwart the cable chains of the Lucinda.
which was lying at anchor in the stream.
The Pearl struck the chains with such
force that she was almost completely cut
in two. Then the current turned her over
and she sank. Before she went down.
however, vast volume of steam was seen
ascending from her. and it was afterward
learned that her steam pipes had been
broken.
Many of those on her lower deck were
fatally sealded, while forty others were
drowned.
The work of rescuing the survivors was
extremely difficult, as they were carried
seaward with great rapidity by the flood.
Thousands gathered about the scene of
the disaster, and there were many affect
ing scenes as the living and dead were
brought ashore. Some of the bodies will
never be recovered.

MILL VALLEY WARBLERS
The Scheme to Import Feathered
Songsters Assumes Tangible
Shape.
All the Sportsmen's Clubs of Marin
County to Take Hand il the
Project.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, Feb. 1.-THE
scheme to import songbirds into Mill
Valley has at last assumed definite shape.
Well-known business men of San Fran
cisco who are residents of Mill Valley have
taken hold of the project with the IN
tention of pushing it through as rapidly
as possible.
A meeting has been called for next
Saturday night By Secretary Thomas Fot-
trell of the Mill Valley I'm provement Club
and a general invitation has been extended
to all persons interested in seeing such a
worthy project carried through success
fully. Special invitations have been sent
to the members of the Tamalpais Sports
mems Club and other Marin County or
ganizations of similar character, and it
is expected that large number of the
lovers of birds will attend.
Contractors have been consulted, and
they have furnished estimates on the cost
of constructing large cages, IN which the
birds will be kept for some time after they
arrive in the valley, in order that they
may become accustomed to the climate
Bird-dealers have also been asked to fur
nish prices at which they will supply song
birds of various varieties.
Mr.. Michalitschke, who is resident OF
Mill Valley, and one of the members of
the firm of Michalitschke Bros. of San
Francisco, has been most energetic in his
efforts to interest the people of Mill Valley
in the scheme. He was seen by CALL
correspondent, and said that number of
friends had talked over the matter of I'M
porting songbirds from Ireland and other
countries. and had come to the conclusion
that the best means in order to mplish
the purpose was 10 form a club whose
harc nlJCht q small rnnnfblu Ano
which would go toward the support of the
club and the birds. In this way, he
thought, the members of the club could
pay very small sum, which, if the or
ganization held a fair mem bership, would
be sufficient for all the needs.
Secretary Thomas Fottrell of the Mill
Valley Improvement Club was also seen,
and said that an unusual amount of inter-
est was being taken in the project by the
people of Mill Valley and elsewhere
WHY" said he, 81 have received nu-
merouS suggestions as to how the birds
should be cared for. One person suggests
feeding them upon potatoes, and others
have instructed me upon the only correct
method of building cages in which to
keep the birds. l have written to Ireland
and expect to receive reply in week or
so, and | think it will be possible to secure
the biras needed at very slight ex-
pense.
GA subscription list has been started and
a meeting called for next Saturday even
ing, so you see that business is meant
Mr.. FottrelI also said that it was the in
tention to secure larks at once. Every
thing necessary for the protection of the
birds will be done and IL is possible that
the small boys of Mill Valley will be given
a bonus for every scalp they secure of the
detestable bluejay, which plays havoc
with the young birds.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 13.-In pre-

took occasion to declare that nothing had
happened to justify the outbreak of indig-
nation on the part of the British public.
The good relations existing between the
Ministers of Germany and Great Britain,
be said had never for moment been in
terrupted.
1t is not true that President Kruger of
the South African republic had appealed
to Germany to intervene. Germany had
only protected her interests III the Trans
vaal under the commercial treaty con-
cluded in 1885. He would not attempt to
argue against English public opinion and
he would equally avoid anything calcu-
lated to pour oil upon the fire, but he
declared he would demand the same right
of free expression of the feeling of the
people of Germany as England wieIds
freely-the right to express the anti
German feeling of the people of Great
Britain. This declaration was received
with prolonged cheers.
DIR. Hammacher expressed his thanks
itself with the fantastic increase of the
navy which had been suggested.
Herren Lieber and Won Kardoff gave ex-
pressions of thanks to the Government for
its firm foreign policy.
Herr Richter declared that harmony be-
tween England and Germany meant peace
throughout the world. War, he said
would work serious damage to Germany
but it would be disastrous to England in
India and in Egypt.
Herr Bebel. Socialist. condemned the
congratulatory kilograms sent by the EN-
peror to President Kruger, which he said
had justly aroused the indignation OF
England. If the case had been one in
volving free France or Russia instead OF
England. he declared the message would
never have been sent. If such a policy
was ventured upon, he predicted that
Germany would some day be awakened
by a dire catastrophe. He then proceeded
to attack tha policy of Germany in the

RIDERS ARE RE|NSTATED,
Appeals Acted Upon at the
Closing Session of the
Wheelmen.
Advisability of Incorporating the
League Discussed and a Com.
mittee Will Investigate.

BALTIMORE, MD, Feb. 13-Only cor
poraPs guard of delegates to the L. A. w
convention were IN their places when Pres.
ident Willison raped for order for the
closing days session this morning. Many
of the delegates had departed for their
homes. A committee of five was appointed
to take up reinstatement appeals from the
decision of the racing board, to hear all
evidence and report their findings to the
convention. The method of selecting the
place for holding The National midsummer
meet came up under new business and
caused prolific debate. 1t was finally de.
cided to empower the legislative commit
tee, the president and the first and second
vice-president to set the place of holding
the meet bv mail vote of the members OF
the assembly, or the executive officers OF
each division, subdivision or consulate, or
of the boards of officers of the same, or oi
the membership at large, as in the judg-
ment CT the executive committee shall be
deemed best.
The special committee appointed to con-
slider reinstatement appeals made report
which was adopted. BY it A. Parker Rich
of Harrisburg, Pa., Robert ]. Jobin of New
Orleans, L. A. Ryer of Jersey City, A. w
Cieaves of Chicago, Albert M. Price OF
Ghent, KY, and James w. Curry of Au-
rora. ILL.,, are reinstated.
The advisability of incorporating the
league was discussed at length and Messrs
Sans OF Maryland and Cossum and Potter
of New York were appointed committee
to inquire into the laws of the various
States in relation to the matter, with
power to take out incorporation papers.
During the last hours of the convention
several unimportant amendments to the
constitution were rushed through. The
incoming executive committee was dele
gated to select the place for holding the
next annual assembly. Mr.. Potter pre-
sented the case of F. J. Titus of Brooklyn
formerly q class B rider, and made a
strong appeal to the assembly to reverse
the action of the racing board and reinstate
the man, who was suspended for life
because of alleged unfair riding at ST
Louis last fall. Mr.. Sans indorsed the
mption and amended it by urging that
Cabanne of ST. Louis, who was involved
in the trouble and also suspended for life,
be reinstated. The convention adopted a
resolution recommending that the racing
board remove the life suspensions and
make it suspension for one year from the
date the sentence took effect. The con-
ventlon at o'clock adjourned sine die.

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 13.-Colonel Tort
reports that 1900 rebels, under command
of the leader Castillo, attacked a small
detachment of his troops who we're en-
gagged in repairing the telegraph lines near
San Filipe, the fight lasting an hour and a
half
The rebels had three men killed and
fifteen wounded. Reports are also re-
ceived that a column of Spanish troops
coming by train from Guara to San Felipe
were surrounded by the enemy, who had
burned bridge to compel the train to
stop. The Spanish soldiers fought with
great bravery and dispersed the rebels
with the loss of five killed and many
wounded.
Another column of Spanish troops al
vancing from Aljaria met and dispersed a
party of rebels, killing eleven and wound
ing twenty-three. The only Spanish loss
reported during the entire series of en-
gagements was the wounding of Corporal
Jose Sanchez.
The official report of battle between
Colonel Lopez Amor, with 400 Spanish
troops, and force of 5000 insurgents has
just been given out. The report says the
fight lasted the entire day of February g.
The rebels sustained heavy losses and
the Spanish troops had six killed and forty

J. FRANK CLARK.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 13.-An-
other Cuban expedition, including about
dition, sailed from New York last Monday
night. 1t was made up of Cubans from
this city, New York and Boston.
A steamer which the Cuban leaders here
call by the name of Englewood, hailing
from Nova Scotia, is the vessel. She was
leased through New York firm of ship
brokers and brought on to Long Island
Sound, where she has been lying at an
chor for the last two weeks.
She carries to the insurgents 100000
rounds of cartridges and 1000 stands OF
arms.
The money to pay for this expedition
came from Cuba a few days ago. In
Cuban circles $4,000 in Spanish gold is
the figure named.
A mistake made in the Hawkins expedi-
ton was avoided in this. The men were
sent in small squads to the vessel and the
arms and ammunition in small quantities,
instead of loading in bulk, as was done
before.

ROBBERY THE PRIME MOTIVE,
An Almost Incredible Story of Brutal
ity-The Perpetrators Are All
Under Arrest.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Feb. 13.-Two
other Indians have been arrested for COM
plicity in the murder of Mrs. Platt, the
Indian school teacher at Temecula.
Their names are Francisco Rodrigues and
Ventura Marido.
The two men were brought before JUS
on warrant charging them with murder.
Guavish was also arraigned before the
same Justice and the examination set for
February 25.
Last evening in the Jail at Riverside one
of the last two men arrested broke down
and made complete confession. The con-
fession was made to Sheriff Johnson of
Riverside and Deputy Sheriff Martin
Marsh of Los Angeles.
His story is to the effect that on Septem-
ber 10, 1894 the three men now unuer ar
rest, together with Mateo Pa went to the
house of Mrs. Platt and demanded that
she give them some money. In some
manner they had learned that Mrs. Platt
had that morning received her salary from
the Government.
Mrs. Platt, however, deposited all but
$50 at Temecula. She informed the quartet
of this fact when they called at her house,
but they did not believe her. That even
ing three of the men returned to Mrs.
Platts house.
In some manner they got her to come to
the door without waking her little niece.
AS she opened the door, Guavish is said 10
have grabbed her about the throat, thereby
preventing her from making an outcry.
She was taken about 250 feet from the
house and outraged by the three 6ends
Aiterward she was murdered. Her body
was then carried back into the house, sat
urated with coal oil and the torch applied.
In making the confession the young
buck stated that Mrs. Platt was strangled
to death by Guavish before being as
saulted. He also stated that Mateo Pa
was not with them when they returned in
the evening, but that he knew of their in
tentions and sanctioned them.

found the pole.
"Why not?' he said at the Occidental
last night. "Nansen is just the man to do
it. He is a Norwegian and there is nobody
like the Norwegians to stand excruciating
cold, snow and little food. Their powers
of endurance are wonderful. And they
take pride in it, too, when there is occasion
for it.
What greater incentive could one have
than the hope of finding the pole2 Add
to all this the fact that Nansen is young
with lots of new good blood in his veins,
the feeling of conquest and glory upon
him, besides being better equipped than
any other man who ever set out to
find the pole, and you will see why he is
peculiarly the man for the effort. Nansen

accumulated knowledge of the ages.
