The Proceedings.

Washington. June 2S.-After a con-
test lasting throughout the day, the
senate completed the paragraphs of the
wool schedule relating to raw wool and
advanced into the features relating to
manufactured wooden goods. The day
was devoted largely to a discussion Of
the effect OF tariff rates on the price Of
wool and the speeches were on tech
nical lines in the main.
At one point Mr.. Hpar diverted the
discussion by a reference TO William J.
Bryan's opposition to the tariff. This
brought Senators Mantle and Allen and
Stewart TO the defense of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Teller was drawn into the con-
trOvcrsy, and in a few remarks warned
his former Republican associates that
their hopes of prosperity from this bin
would be blasted.

cARSH0PS FOB BENSON.
The Arizona Town Expects to Become
DIVISION headquarters of the
Southern P1c fc

BENSON, ARR, April LIT is under
stood that the formal transfer to the
Southern Pacific of the New Mexico and
Arizona ard Sonora railways will be made
on May Is, after the absorption of the At
lantic and Pacific by the Santa Fe. This
will give the Huntington road an outlet
to the sea at Quay mas, which port is to be
made stopping point for steamers of the
Pacific Mail line, which is as much a
Huntington line as is the Southern Pacific
itself.
Particularly affecting Benson is the
statement by officials of the railway that
following the amalgamation OF the two
interests the headquarters for the railway
division of Arizona and New Mexico will
be removed from Tucson hither this be-
ing the junction point for the two lines.
This would bring, as well, the railroad
shops, through which about $4,000 per
month is now disbursed in Tucson. Even
larger shops and fully so per CEN added
expenditure will be entailed through the
operation of the Mexican branch.
1t is believed the con olidation will also
mean the abandonment of the Arizona
and Southeastern track from Fairbank to
Benson. This stretch of twenty five miles
was built by the Copper Queen Compa
of Bisbee owing 10 a disagreement with
the Santa Fe over freight rates from Fair
bank. where the mines railway termi-
mated, to the Southern Pacific connection
at this point. With q Southern Pacifc
line paralleling it this road will be made
practically useless

DROWNED AT MARE ISLAND.
Fate of SmUggfsr Believed to Have
Been Bearing L quor to the
Alert

VALLEJO. CAL. April 1.-Two men in
boat were discovered about o'clock
Saturday night lowering about the stem
OF the United States stea mship Alert,
lying at the navy-yard. The sentry was
ordered to watch them and see that they
did not attempt to smuggle liquor aboard.
Soon the men pulled out into the stream
toward the Hartford, lying at one of the
buoys, and shortly atterward cries for
help were heard.
An officer of the Alert ordered the
steam launch, with an officer aboard, to
go out into the stream and ascertain the
cause OF the cries. The crew in the launch
were unable to find boat or men, and re-
turned to the shin.
It was learned TO-DAY that the men in
the boat were John Love and Pete Han
sen. When they pulled away from the
Alert they were capsiZed on the buoy
holding the Hartford. They chung to the
boat and cried for help. Seeing the steam
launch coming, and fearing arrest, they
let themselves drift down toward the
tules. After being in the water all night,
clinglng to the bottom of The boat and I'M
able to right 1t, Love, who is good swim
mer, said he would start to swim ashore,
rather than perish from the cold. Han
sen warned him not to make the attempt,
but to no avail. Love has not been heard
of since.
Hansen a short time afterward struck
out for the shore and landed near the
hydraulic brick works. After landing he
fell in an exhausted condition and was
found about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and brought to town.
Love was % years of age. 1t is believed
that he and Hansen were attempting to
pass liquor on board the Alert, but were
discovered and started to return to Vallejo,
when the accident occurred

for SEQ

VALLEJO, CAL, April l9.-The cruiser
Charleston will b. on the stocks in the
drydock at Mare Island for some time to
come. So far but little work has been &C.
complished on the boat. The boiler
makers are working on the smokestack,
which is being fitted together in the boiler
shop.
The gun boat Concord will be ready for
commissioning in few weeks. The bat
terry has been placed on board, and, so far
as can be done, the boat will be complete
when the officers and crew report for
duty.
The Alert, after receiving coat of anti
fouling paint. was taken out of dock Sat-
urday, and on the same tide the Charles
ton was f1oated in. 1t is not known how
long the Alertlwill remain at the island
or what its next destination will be- This
will be determined later on.
The cruiser Baltimore will soon have
large force of mechanics on board doing
repair work.
The orders of Civil Engineer Peary to
Mare Island having been revoked by the
Navy Department it is not at all unlikely
that Civil Engineer Mason will be re-
tanned at Mare Island for some time to
come.

SHUT OUT FROM THE yUKOK.
Hundreds of Gofd-Seekers Find Their
Progress Blocked by Uafayorabie
Weather

SEATTLE, WASH, April 19.-The
steamship Al-ki, which arrived in port
this afternoon from Alaska, brought the
first information as TO the progress made
by the throng OF miners sailing from
Seattle for the Yukon sold fields the
latter part of March and the first ten DAYS
of April. About two weeks ago 800 of
these gold-hunters crossed the divide
from Dyea, and they are now going down
the chain of lakes toward the Yukon.
They were fortunate in having set out
from the sea so early, for there are now
reported to be from 1900 to 1900 men en-
camped on this side. being unable, owing
to the unfavorable condition of the
weather, to get across. Over 900 are at
Sheep Camp, the rest being about equally
distributed between Dyea and juneau.
Rather an unusual state of affairs exists
in regard to the condition of the range of
mountains between Dyea and t lakes.
Even thus early the snow has melted and
softened to such an extent that the min
ers find it practically impossible to travel
over it without breaking through with
their dogs and sleds. Hardly ever has
this been the situation so early in the
spring, and unless there is enough of a
freeze to crust the snow again those on
this side will no doubt experience MANY
unexpected hardships before crossing the
range.

Sliding Earth EntombS
Five Min erS Near
Ogden.
Two Who Were at Work in a
BlaCksmith-Shop Are
Killed.
One of the Others Almost Suffo-
Gated Before Reached by
ReScuers.

OGDEN, UTAH, April 1.-two men were
killed and three imprisoned this morning
by snowslide at the Garfield m inc, about
twenty-five miles from this city. The
killed were Fred Wolhaupter of Ogden.
SUPERINTENDENT of the mine, and Edward
Nav, miner of Plain City. Utah.
The tunnel, engine-house and black
smith-shop are situated at the north side
of gorge to the right of Gibbs Canyon,
about six miles from Brigham City, and
the place was selected by expert engi-
neers as absolutely free from the danger
OF landslides. The tunnel faces the south,
and the slide started from near the top of
the opposite side of the gorge. The mass
OF ice and snow gained such an impetus
coming down the declivity that when it
struck the bottom of the canyon it was
forced up the side upon which was located
the tunnel entrance and buildings and
crushed the blacksmith shop like an egg
shell.
Wolhaupter and Nav were sharpening
drills at the time and were crushed to
death. Wolhaupter's body was recovered
at noon and Maw's at 5 O. clock.
The other men, William Turner, David
Russell and John Dalton, were working in
the tunnel. Turner had just come out
with car when he saw the slide coming
down the other side. He made run and
gained the engine-house before the ava
lanche was upon it and during all the day
was supposed to have been caught on the
outside, as his car was found in the slide
At O'Clock tapping sound was heard
and after an hours work the engine.house
was reached and he was rescued, almost
suffocated. He will recover. The two in
the tunnel were rescued early and helped
to recover the bodies of the dead.
Wolhaupter was well known in Ogden
and leaves a widow and one child. Nav
is survived by widow and seven children.

Wealthy Mrs. Green of
Alabama Locates
Her Niece.
Long Search Over the Coast
Ends in an Astoria
Laundry.
Former Alameda Girl to inherit a
Quarter Of a Million
Dollars.

PORTLAND. Or, April 19-On the 7th
inst. Mrs. Annette Green, an elderly
wealthy woman hailing from Alabama,
came to Portland in search of her niece,
Miss Helen Ida Stapleton, whom she had
never seen. but who, if found, she would
make an heiress to the snug fortune
of $25o,0oo. Mrs. Green at the time of her
visit stated to Detective Welsh that Miss
Stapleton was the only surviving child of
her sister. both OF her parents being dead.
Miss Stapl etOn's father died in San Fran
cisco in 1882 and three months or so ago
Mrs. Green received a letter from her
niece stating that the latter's mother also
was dead; but as the Alabama lady had
lost the letter she was unable to say
whether it was dated from Portland, San
Francisco or Seattle. The detective was
unable to locate Miss Stapleton here.
After leaving Portland the resolute old
lady again visited Tacoma, on the strength
OF premonition only, she said, but there
was no Helen Stapleton in that town.
On Monday last while returning to Port
land she met on the train Cyrus G. Eames
ana his wife, of Oakland. Cal, both born
and reared in Alabama. Mr.. Eames heard
Mrs. Green speaking to another old lady
OF her mission here, and he and Mrs.
Eames, having known the Stapletons, at
once introduced themselves to the old
lady.
1t appears that Mrs. Eames' mother and
Mrs. Stapleton became warm friends after
coming to California, and while Mrs.
Eames is several years the senior o. Miss
Staple ton the friendship existing between
fhorr
to them and they maintained a corre-
spondence. The Stapletons-mother and
daughter-durIng the past few years had
grown so poor and seemingly friendless
that despite their education they hired
out as domestics rather than be beholden
to any of their old California friends or
their only relative, Mrs. Green, for any
assistance. This part of the story was
disclosed by Mrs. Stapleton to her aunt.
Mrs. Green added that Mrs. Eames had
a letter from Miss Helen about two weeks
after The latter's mothers death, stating
that she was going to Salem to accept
position there, and at last accounts she
was still there.
Last Tuesday night the indomita BILE old
lady boarded a southbound train for the
Capitol City, never dreaming that her
niece had been forced TO descend to severe
manual labor. Mrs. Green in two days
m ade the rounds of business places where
young women are employed. On Thurs
day evening she casually and thought
lessly made q conf:dante of chamber
maid in her hotel. That was another
lucky stroke for her, for that chamber
maid happened to have been employed in
the laundry where Mrs. Green found her
niece the following morning, ironing
away for dear life.
Both are now here en- route for San

Attack by Two Burglars
Upon an ArbuCkle
Constable.
Thrust a Pistol Through a
Door He Is Guarding
and Fire.
The Cuiprits Escape Heavily Laden
After Driving the Officer
to Shelter.

COLUSA, CAL, April 19-The town of
Arbuckle was visited last night by burg
lars, who succeeded in getting away with
about $500 worth OF cutlery from the
hardware-store of l.. o. Johnson, after ex-
changing several shots with Constable J.
o. Brewer.
At about 10 clock a tamale- vender saw
the two men enter the side door of the
store. AS he knew that nc one slept in
the building he surmised tina. they were
burglars and sent a boy after an officer.
Deputy Constable Brewer, in company
with friend, went to the store. Consta-
BILE Brewer tried the side door and found
it was unlocked. He thought he heard
some one on the inside, so he requested
his friend to 60 uptown after help. saying
he would stand guard at the door until he
returned.
His friend had gone only short dis
lance when one of the robbers thrust
six-shooter out of the door, and, with the
weapon almost against Brewen's face,
fred, the bail inst grazing the officers
head.
Brewer ran around the corner of the
building, and as he ran four more shots
were sent after him. None of them took
effect. Soon two men emerged from the
side door and started on a run across lots,
one of them carrying sack of booty on
his shoulder. Officer Brewer fired twice
at them, put in the darkness his aim was
wild. The burglars have not yet been
captured.
When the interior of the store was ex-
amined, it was found that hole had been
drilled into the safe preparatory to blow
ing it open.

TRAGEDY Ar AL7URAS.
Mrs. Mayo, Having Lost Her Child Through
Divorce Decree, Shoots
Herself

REDDING, CAL, April 19.-As result
of divorce recently granted in San Fran
cisco and subsequent controversy over
the possession o: a child Mrs. Mayo of Al
turas attempted suicide last Thursday by
firing bullet into her breast just above
the heart and at last reports was lowering
close to death. To the physician called to
attend her the grief woman in
pleading tones begged that she be left TO
die, as she had nothing to live for now
that her child was taken from her.
Four years ago Mrs. Mayo separated
from her husband in San Francisco Since
then she has lived most of the time with
her father, J. j. Wheeler of Lake City.
Some time ago Mayo applied for divorce
in San Francisco, and as his application
was not contested by his wife the decree
was granted and he ceased to support her
or her child.
On Saturday night. April 10, Mayo ar
rived in Alturas, and on Monday morning
went to the school, expecting to find his
boy, but was there told that he was in
Iakeview. Mayo left for Lakeview, and
his divorced wife learning of his inten-
tions late in the evening followed in a
buggy, arriving but an hour after MAYO.
Mayo got possession of the child, avoided
his former wife and reached Alturas on
his return in time to board the stage for
Redding the next morning.
Mrs. Mayo's grief on discovering that
her son had been taken away from her
was great, but she gave no indication of
her intention to take her own life. No
one anticipated a tragedy until the report
of pistol rang out on Thursday morning
from her apartments in the Com BIS House.
Mayo claimed while in Aituras that the
courts below had awarded him the child
at the time he got a decree of divorce
Alturas people say that he had not seen
the boy since infancy and had never in
quired about him or contributed to his

Because She Welded q Rich
Mans Son.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. April 19-The
arrest OF Edna Lester and her appearance
in the Police Court in this city to-day to
