LLEU7ENAH7 PEARYS DEPARTURE.
SAYS Ewny From Boston on the Hope
Amid Tbunders of Cheers
and SaIuteS.

BOSTON, MASS, July 19.-It was a
great sendoff that was given TO Lieutenant
Robert E. Peary when he started on his
trip TO the Arctic regions this morning,
the Hope gliding out OF the harbor amid
such babel OF cheers, shouted we'll
wishes and believing whistles as has not
been heard along the wharves for some
time. A big crowd had collected on Long
and r wharves. mum bering from 1900 to
1000. At 9 o'clock, when the Hope slid
past the end of Long wharf, some one on
it shouted, "Three cheers for Lieutenant
Pearyl' and they were given with a will,
Lieutenant Peary, who with his wife and
his little daughter Marie was standing on
the bridge, uncovering.
Lieutenant Peary waved an American
ensign on the bridge and Jan Jansen
climbed into the port foreshrouds and
broke out small Danish ensign, while by
the order of Captain Bartlett the English
ensign at the peak was thrice dipped as
Darting salute. One after another, all up

PutatiVe Widow of the
Late Father Jeram
Appears.
Says She Was Welded by
Contract to the Founder OF
Eden Valley.
Attends the Inquest Over His Body
and Attempts to Obtain His
Watch.

UKIAH, CAL, July 19.-The remains of
Father Peter ]. Jeram were on Saturday
last consigned to the grave in the Catholic
cemetery at this place. No services were
held at the grave, nor were any OF the
religious ceremonies usually accorded to
mem bers of the Catholic church rendered
the dead priest. 1t will be recalled that
Father Jeram was drowned in the middle
fork of the Eel River on May 4, while at
tempting to ford the stream. His body
was found last week by Joseph Robin, u
stock-driver, living near Cahto, half
mile below the mouth of Salt Greek, and
about four miles from the place where
Jeram was seen. An inquest was held on
Thursday, at which time the body was
viewed by the Coroner's jury and the
further hearing was continued until the
10Th inst.
At the time of the inquest woman
registered at the Palace Hotel at this
place as Mrs. P. J. Frank, and made the
claim that she was the contract wife of
Father Jeram. She viewed the body in
the undertaking parlors of Cook Bros,
but refused to identity the remains as
those of Father Jeram. According to her
story, the deceased had never worn q
Roman collar when on his visits to San
Francisco, so she had never seen him in
priestly habiliments.
1t Is said that the woman made an effort
to secure the valuable watch which the
dead priest had on his person when found,
and that for some reason now unknown
this was the object of her visit at this
time.
She is rather a handsome woman, of
aboat 80 years. To the undertaken she
represented herself to be the sister of
Father Jeram, but subsequently stated
that she was the priests contract wife,
and later she registered at the hotel as
Mrs. P. J. Jeram. She returned to San
Francisco on Friday, after having reso-
lutely refused to say anything other than
that she was the wife of the dead priest.
She refused to claim the body in the un-
dertaKers' parlors, and expressed some
doubt as to its being the body of Father
Jeram.
The woman's refusal to talk is due to
the fact, it is SAID, that she is acting under
the advice of her attorney, and has been
ca utioned by him to say nothing. Neither
this woman nor another claiming to be
Jeram's sister and calling herself Ursula
Jeram, attended the funeral here on Satur-
day, when with none but an attorney OF
this place and a few newspaper men as
mourners the body of Father Jeram was
consigned to the grave.
The movements OF the putatlve Mrs. z.
J. Jeram while here were very mysterious,
and despite all efforts nothing can ne
learned of her or her present whereab bouts.
Attorney Ava Watt. acting in behalf of
Ursula Jeram, who claims to be a sister of
the priest, filed an action a few days ago
in the Superior Cours of this county to
have ]. II. Barker the Public Admins
traitor, appointed to administrate upon
the estate of Jeram. Barker applied for
letters Immediately after the drowning of
the priest, but subsequently withdrew h is
application.

wind has famed the flames and driven
them until now they are in dangerous
proximity to valuable property.
This morning the station and hotel at
Middle Creek, four miles north OF Red
ding, was reported in danger and hun
dreds of men were out to backfire. Just
across the river from Middle Greek another
fire has been burning. The dwellings OF
miners and farmers were in imminent
danger and to-day over 100 men went
from this city to the scene to save prop
erty.
Near Keswick, the site of the Mountain
copper Companv's big smelters, wall OF
flames is threatening property. Several
small houses were burned. The company
sent out call for assistance, and to- night
nearly 1000 men are fighting the fiery eIe-
ments.
at Iron Mountain more damage is be-
ing done by the flames. Numerous
miners cabins have BEN burned and
more are in danger, and the settlement at
the mine is in peril. Hundreds of men
are fighting the flames there, and il is
hoped the settlement will be saved.
Fire is raging right in the thickest belt
of the mber and hundreds of cord
will be destroyed. The sight viewed from
Redding is grand and awful. The ridges
of the mountains, the sides of the foot
hills and all eminences are ablaze and tn e
flames shoot up from the tall pines and
spreading oaks.
The north wind is blowing thick clouds
of smoke toward this city, and all day
and tonight the extreme heat has been
distressing. Squads of men are stationed
at intervals along the northern boundary
of this city to prevent the flames from
gaining neadway within the city limits.

and down the harbor, the whistles oil

the noise was fairly deafening. Dipping
her ensign and blow ing her whistles, the

meant 10 ssytass-as I csMillin) had voted
against free wool.
BaIey-That's what Morrison told me
with his own mouth, and he told me you
had voted against free iron ore.
McMillin-What excuse have you for
voting against striking out the wool and
wooden schedule of this informal bill and
incorporating the wool and woolen sched-
ule of the WiIsonkbill2
Bailey-First because l had introd uced
an am e ndment to reduce the duty on both
wool and wooden goods 331s per cent.
McMillin-Your amendment failed, and
then you proposed to take the high rates
which this bill carries rather than the low
rates of the Wilson bill2s
Bailev-Yes, sir, and we may Just as
W ell understand each other right now.
Never, so long as / am in Congress, will
vote to give the woolen manufacturer
per cent duty on his wooden goods and
the wool-grower nothing upon his wool.
Prolonged applause. And since the
gentleman has asked me a question, | ask
him how he can justify voting for free
wool in the face of the Chicago platform,
which ne helped adopt.
McMillin-The Chicago platform did
not take the back track on the doctrine of
tariff for revenue only, as has been repre-
sented here tonight.
This talk was conducted amid excite
ment and Bailey abandoned it here. He
spoke nearly two and half hours and at
the close was rewarded with the con gratu-
lations of friends on the floor and ap-
plause from admirers in the gallery.
For the opposition McMillin closed the
debate. He pointed out what he deemed
to he the m ost outrageous features of the
bill, which in his opinion were the bene-
fit to trusts, none of which had been ig-
nored. Referring 10 Bailey's charge that
he had changed his views regarding free
raw material he said that any statement
which imputed to him the support of a
duty on wool was inaccurate Bailey's
votes in favor of free wool, free coal ana
free iron ore were reviewed, and McMil,in
asserted amid applause that by the sign
of tariff for revenue only" the Demo-
cratic party had conquered in the past
and would IN the future.
Payne OF New York, next to Chairman
Dingley, senior manager for the confer
ence, closed the debate. He reviewed the
history of tariff legislation of recent years,
especially relating to sugar. AS to this,
he defended the attitude of the Republican
party, and charged the Democratic party
with love unsurpassed, as manifested by
its schedules for the sugar trust.
At the conclusion of Payne's speech
DingIey moved that the House agree to
the conference report and demanded the
previous question. This was ordered, and
the vote was taken by ayes and noes, re-
sulting: Ayes 189, noes lis; present and
not voting II. So the report was agreed to.

FATAL SHOOTING AT FELTON,.
Young Whippts Hall of Oakland Acci-
dentaiy Kits rs Chum,
Leon Eyers.

SANTA CRUZ CAL, July 19.-Whipp)e
Hall, son of Judge Hall of Oakland, shot
and killed Leon Evers, his com panion and
guest, at FELTON, this afternoon. The
shooting was accidental, or rather unin-
territorial, though the gun was aimed di-
rectly at the young man and accompanied
by the remark:
"You have been feeling miserable for a
day or two. I'll end your misery"
The gun was brought to his shoulder as
young Hall spoke. There was report
and Eyers was shot through the head.
He lived for an hour in agony, while
young Hall suffered through mental an
guish quite as much.
The dead boy is also of Oakland and
was guest of Judge Hall and family,
who occupy a cottage at FELTON, for the
summer. The boys were chums and were
en- njoying their vacation together. Young
Hall had been cunning on Sunday, and
on returning met Miss Cope.
While conversing with her he put a
charge into the right barrel of his gun.
remarking that he might run across game.
Being in the habit OF carrying his gun
empty, except when actually in readiness
for use, he carried it home, forgetting that
the loaded smell was in the barrel.
MS AFTERNOON ne LOOK Inc gun QOWD
and went onto the veranda for the pur-
pose of cleaning it preparatory to another
trip in the woods in quest of game.
Evers was lying on sofa in the room
off the veranda. He had been ailing for a
day or two, and Hall, endeavoring to
cheer him, spoke in joking way OF end
ing his misery. He did, indeed, end the
poor boys misery, but he had not the
slightest thought that he was about to
literally carry out his words.
Word was Immediately wired to the
dead boys father. Coroner Clark was
called to FELTON, and quickly sum moned a
jury, which found that the shooting was
unintentional.
OAKLAND, CAL, July 19-Leon Evers,
the son of ex-Coroner Evers, who was ac-
cidentally killed near San Jose to-day, was
but 16 years OLD, and was very bright and
popular scholar in the schools of this city.
The news was conveyed to his home by
telephone, and Mr.. Evers received the
message. lie at once engaged a special
train and left for the Hall ranch, where
the accident occurred. One OF the elder
sons broke the sad news TO Mrs. Evers,
and the effect on her was so severe that
she is not yet out of danger. Her condi-
tion tonight is so precarious that dis
patch has been sent to Mr., Evers to return
at once, as the worst is feared. Mrs. Evers
has been sick for long time, and the
shock was too great for her.
