While on the Yukon the Bishop paid
consid cradle attention to the natural feat
ures of the country, and he expressed the
belief that while the valley of the Yukon
will never be an agricultural country still
there are many varieties of vegetables
that will grow we'll there. Between Anvik
and Tanna, a distance of 500 miles, the
bottom land is rich and very productive.
The native grasses grow to hei:ht of
four feet, and could be easily converted
into fodder for the food OF cattle. The
latter would have to be protected during
the long, hard winter. where the general
temperature is usually 45 and 90 degrees
below zero. In that strip of country peas,
turnips and cabbage grow well. and pota-
toes have been ed TO advantage. While
on his travels the Bishop found many fine
native fruit foods, such as Gran berries,
blue berries, red currants, and delicious
berry called the jewberry.
Native onions also grow profuseIy. and
while wholesome are inclined to be very
pungent. Grain, he says, could not be
short and the frosts would be sure to spoil

DEATH OF JOHN SiNK0TT.
Was an 0x-Team Freghter From
Chicago to the West in the
EGfies

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 19.-John Sim
mott, pioneer of this State and wealthy
mine-owner of Leadville, Colo, died at
the family residence at 283 Guadalupe
street last evening. He had been in poor
health for some time, arriving here a
couple of weeks ago, and few days later
took to his bed. Death resulted from
dropsy of the sto omach.
Sinnott was a native of New York and
68 years of age. In 1856 he went to Lead
vile, and engaged in freighting with OK
teams across the plains from Chicago.
He also conducted a general merchandise
store al Orc City. He married Miss Della
Ella in Illinois in 1853 and shortly after
ward came to California. Mining en-
gagged his attention for a while, and in
1872 he came to San Jose. He and his
brother opened a dry-goods store but in
1879 he sold out and returned to Lead
Vile, where he invested in mining enter
prises. At one time he was one of the

Duty Of Reaching
the Higher Classes.

Rev. Gilbert Reid. olrector-general OF
the International Institute of Peking,
China spoke at the Westminster Presby-
terian Church, yesterday morning. His
theme was the importance of using the
best agencies, and more specially the duty
of reaching the higher classes In such
country as China. He said:
"HE principle which l seek to establish
is the importance of recognizing the
i strongest, attending to the fltest, using
the best, honoring the greatest, bowling
TO the supreme. If the expression, Survival
of the fittest' hardly seems compatible with
q religion of mercy and selfsacrifice, we can
have no dispute with the expression, "Utiliza-
tion of the fttest." The Bible lays great stress
on the respect due tn a ma ions rulers, even In
the tyrannical Roman Empire. We are not
called upon to crown the worst man. in order
to show how benevolent we can be; let us
crown the best 1t is not expected that we
should use the worst tools; let us use the
best.
Mr.. Reid related some of his expert
ences among the mandarins of China,
having become acquainted with some 400
OF them, including the highest in the
country, as Prince Kung and Ii Hung
Chang. He briefly stated that proof OF
their friendship and capacity to be In
huenced even by foreigner and mis-
sionary was the sanction under official
seal given 10 his scheme for an interna-
tional institute by all the members of the
Imperial Board OF Foreign Affairs, eleven
men in all. If this institute can be
started speedily that body will show FUR
ther favor ana influences can extend
therefrom through all the land.

AT st. Mary's Church yesterday morn

TRAVELLED In
COLD ALASKA
Bishop Rowe Tells Of His
Observations in the
Far North.
He Does Not Believe That the
People at Klondike Will
StarVe.
Cattle Being Taken Into the Big
Valley for Food-The Natural
Features.

Right Rev. Peter 7. Rowe of the Epis-
copal church, after an absence of two
years in Alaska and along the Yukon
River, has Just returned to civilization,
and is staying for few days in this City.
He preached yesterday at the Church OF
the Advent and ST. PauPs Church. The
Bishops trip down from st. Michael was
not the most pleasant that one could desire,
for during the voyage he was the constant
attendant of three very sick people. One
was Andrew Anderson, miner from the
Klondike who contracted typhoid fever
while nursing two men, cousins, who
were afflicted with the disease. The Sec
ond was the Rev. S. ]. Rene, the superin-
teDdent of the Catholic missions In
Alaska, who was in dying condition.
The third is E. Fitzgerald of Grass Valley.
The latter almost died from an aff1iction
of the glands of the neck. All three are
now in the hospitals in this City.
During his travels Bishop Rowe has been
very observing person, and he has now
a great fund of knowledge of the country
through which he has passed. In the
spring he went over the now noted Chill
coot Pass and into the upper valley OF the
Yukon. He says that at certain times OF
the year the pass is not so difficult to get
over as many suppose, but in the winter
time he believes that it must be something
terrible. 1t so happened that the Bishop
reached the Klondike a bout the time that
the mining excitement was at its height,
and he is of the opinion that the stories
told OF the wonderful mineral resources of
that region are not at all exaggerated. but
that as great gold discoveries will be made
in the coming year as in the past. When
asked as to his opinion relative to the out
look for those who have gone into that
country this year. and the possibility OF
the food supply holding out until more
can be taken, the Bishop said:
"Whlle there is sure to be some priva-
ton and want, still do not believe there
will be many cases of actual starvation.
Nearly all of the old miners have cached
considerable food near their claims, and
even the newcomers have contributed
some to the general supply. Another
source of supply that will relieve a seri-
Gus condition is that several bands of cat
tie have been and are being taken into

tary two tribes OF the original twelve

He also drew the attention of his hear
ers to the fact that all prosperous business
men owe their standing OF wealth to their
ability in saving the fragments.
Under the theme of ''Suffer little chill
dren to come unto Me-" he exhorted the
parents to bring their children 10 church
while young, thereby instllling into them
the true virtues of religion.

of his compositions of Faust" and 1.-The

was considered to be a case OF foul play
when the matter was reported to the
Coroner. and Detectives Ed Gibson and
Ed Wren were put on the case. They have
come 10 the conclusion. in the absense of
the Coronefs examination, that his death
was from natural causes. 1t was known
that he had been subject to heart failure.
In his pocket was found a receipt for $3.50,
which was on deposit in Peterson's saloon
at 901 Kearny street, besides So so in his

Hearst managemeat's favorite club, are
kicking. They heartily indorse the stand
taken by the members of the other mines
for 20 per cent of the gross receipts.
Since the tournament commenced the
most that any player has received in a
game on a percentage basis has been Sl3.
But this only occurred once. If they re-

means starvation to the ball players.
Mcguire, shortstop of the Reliance nine,
makes some serious charges against the
Hearst management. He says that taken
up tickets IN the absence of the clubs

the box, returned TO the box-office and
counted as unsoid. This was done 70 re-

their uItimatum-20 per cent of The gross
receipts to each OF the contesting clubs.
The calf-hued promoters, it is under
stood, will not accede 10 this demand.
They say the tournament will be con-
tinued if only two clubs remain in it. They
peremp ptorily refuse, or did last night to
accede to the demands of the managers
But this is regarded by many as a game
of bluff. If the Will & Fincks, California
Markets, Reliance and Heese mans drop
out of the tournament all interest in the
game will be lost, and those attending the

The saffron journal management's
latest move is to reorganiZe the tourna-
ment, readmitting the Fresno Republi-
cans. Manager Byxbee has been ap-
preached by the yellow ball management
and asked if he were given 20 per cent
of the gross receipts. would the Fresno
Republicans consent to play series of
games in this city.
Manager Byxbee was asked about this
proposition last night. He would neither
affirm nor deny its truthfuIness. There is
one thing certain SAID he, 1.-The Fresno
Republicans will never play here again
unless they receive 90 per cent OF the gross
receipts. There is another thing certain.
II we enter the tournament that $1,000 is
ours"
But the greed of the saffron manage
ment in giving the Fresnos 90 per cent of
the gross receipts and refusing to accord
the city clubs a like amount would make
the games so unpopular that few would
attend them.
The yellow promoters OF the national
game are in bad box. They look upon
the present uprising of managers and
players as a revolt, which If acc ded to
will seriously affect their pockets, and
they are furious, contending that base ball

The Love of Christ
Constraineth Us.

In the absence of the pastor, Rev. Oliver
C. Miller. minister of the Church OF the
Holy Spirit, was invited to fill the pulpit
at Simpson Memorial NJ. E. Church,
morning and evening. HIS theme in the
morning was "The Constraihing Love of
Christ and the Power of Its Working, "
drawn from Second Corinthians. v:4,
For the love of Christ constraineth US. -
He said:
OUR text is the answer of Paul to the GEN.
4 sure of his enemies, because OF his in
tense earnestness which led him to
break through the conventionalities OF
his surroundings. His one reason is because
his eye is fixed on perishing souls. For TINS
reason his great master was censured by his
own kiusmen, who said of him, 'He is beside
himself Our text furnishes the best motto
for an exalted and happy life. Supreme serv-
ice TO Christ bids US enter that "perfect law OF
liberty" that frees us from all other masters.
The only possible apology tor the existence OF
the church is that il is means TO an end and
that END the saVation of souls.
We love him because he first loved US. It's
the Christ nailed to the cross that iDfiames
our love. Could Lazarus fail TO love Jesus,
who had raised him from the dead? How
much more should we love him who lifted us
I'D when we were dead in trespasseS and in
sin? Let us ask how can this owe be obtained?
And the answer comes: 1t is shed abroad, or
poured into our ht arts by the Holy Ghost
given US. Hence we see the importance OF the
Ssvior's en- treaty TO his dis seiples, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost Through the indweliing OF
the holy spirit it is possible for US TO love the
sinner with Christs own love. 1t puts us into
his place ana thus makes soul winning newt
able We look upon the lost one with the eyes
OF Christ. We think upon him with the mind
of Christ. We pity him with the pity Of
Christ. We plan for his salvation with the
subtlety OF Christ, and love him with the heart
OF Christ.
The spirit-flled man is not such a weak
creature after all In effort he is God, for is II
not God that worketh in him both to will and
to SOW of his good pleasure?
In the heart of Christ this love is that of pity
for the lost as he looked upon and loFed the

The Pacifics Gain a Very Easy Victory
Over the Alamedas.
The Pacific Cricket Club has, at this
late date, secured the strongest team in
the association. In a contest with
Alameda yesterday they had veritabe
walk over, being victorious by three
wickets and 9S runs.
The feature of the game was magnifi-
cent display of batting By Captain Dickin-
son. His inning of 1876 included some
boundary hits that will long stand as
record ones at Webster street. Splro and
Morey, for the defeated team, did careful
and efficient work, but the odds against
them, when the Pacifics' inning was
called, were insuperable.
