Agent Grunwaldt Gets a
Franchise for the Ten
Great Rivers.
He Will Build Large Canneries
and Ship to tie Cities
of Europe.
Russia Will Act With America in
Branding F male Seals for
Their Protection.

G. M. Grunwaldt, general agent and
manager of the Russian Sealskin Com
pany, which owns all the franchises for
hunting, trapping and trading on Copper
and Behring islands and in Kamchatka,
after several months in different parts of
Europe, is at the Occidental.
Mr.. Grunwaldt left here late asst fall,
after his return to the Siberian islands
alluded to, for Kamchatka. He has since
been at his home in st. Petersburg. and
has also visited England, Germany, Italy
and other countries.
He is accompanied on his return by
Alexis de Prosovof, young Russian
nobleman. the son of the Private Coun-
selor of State for Russia. For year past
till now he has been in the army, serving
under the Grand Duke Sergius. His idea
now in going to the Siberian and Kam-
Chatham wilderness is to recruit his
health by rugged outdoor life.
MIR. waldt says the Russian Gov
eminent is in favor of branding the
female seals Tor their protection, the same
as is this country.
THE Russian Government is going to
cooperate with America he said, "in her
efforts for an international agreement to
stop pelagic sealing. The country is per
fectly willing to brand the female seas,
and is ready to begin as soon as America
is The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
Russian ambassador at Washington and
the Russian Consul General at New York
are our commissioners in regard to the
seals. The two latter gentlemen are now
at st. Petersburg Russia is as anxious to
protect the seals as is the United States.
THE most important new venture my
company is now engaged in is fishing for
salmon in the rivers of Kamcha ka.
There are millions of fine salmon there.
They have red flesh, are in appearance
much like the salmon OF the Column ia
and are of excellent flavor. Last year my
company sent expeditions 10 the rivers
and began catching and sailing them as
an experiment. 1t was in every way
success.
"Tne result is that we this winter OBJ
tanned exclusive franchises TO take the
fish from ten Of the largest rivers. We
will establish large canneries and ship the
salmon to ths different parts Of Europe"
Agent Grunwadt and Mr.. de Prosavof
will sail on the Kotik Saturday evening.
Mr.. de Prosovors brother is one OF the
partners in the company.

Famous by His Blocks
of Five" Letters.
He Says He Has Come in Order
to Bring His Wife for
Her Health.
Irving w, Dudl y of San Diego, H.
Thinks, Will Und btedly Be
Minister to Peru

General w. w. Dudley OF Washington,
D. g., the distin uished lawyer, brother of
ex-Judge Irving W. Dudley OF San Diego,
arrived here yesterday, accom- panied by
Mrs. Dudley, his daughter and Miss Wake
field. He was met at the Palace soon
after his arrival by NJ. NJ. Estec. Major
McLaug him, Jacob Steppacher and other
Republicans. Mr.. Dudley said, in refer
ence to his trip and appointments to be
made by President Mckinley:
II have come to the coast on brief
trip and merely for the benefit OF Mrs.
Dudley's health. / will start back Thurs
day or Friday, probably, if my wife's
health will permit. When l left Wash
ington week ago it was arranged that
Judge Dudley would be appointed Minis
ter to Peru. AS for myself, l am like Mr..
Estee l am busy practcing law"
General Dudley was not inclined to be
interviewed at length. He said there was
no news in his visit, as he was not doing
politics now, but was attending to his
profession.
1t is only few years ago, in one OF the
hottest political campaigns that has ever
been held, that Dudley wrote the famous
"blocks of five" letter, which was taken
up by the Democrats and used for all 1t
was worth. This was at time when
Dudley was living in Indiana, and was
bearing a strong hand not only in State
but National politics. 1t was at time
when few votes rated for a good deal.
The attention attracted TO Dudley was
general. and he was carlcatured In the
opposition press, and in every way shown
in as bad light as possible. Since that
time he has lived rather quiet life. He
has been practicing law at Washington,
and till now has not visited this part of
the country.
He has held number of offices during
his long political career, the most i'm
portant one. however. being United States
Commissioner of Pensions. This appoint
ment he re ceived in 1881.
General Dudley went TO Indiana from
Vermont as young man, and while there
the war broke out. He enlisted as cap
tain and in little while was brevet
brigade r- general. When the war ended
he was County Clerk. attorney, banker
and United States Marshal till he was
made United States Commissioner OF Pen
sions.
He is of good size and o! an engaging
manner. His hair and mustache are now
almost white. Major Mclaughlin. chair
man of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, had long talk with him last
night. General Dudley also visited the
Union League Club.

with eight other prisoners and placed in
the dock.
The dock is surrounded by a wooden
railing. Harris took seat nearest the
door. About 80 o'clock Detective Egan
and Policeman Ellis who arrested him,
spoke to him and asked if he was pre- pared
to have his examination go ON. Harris re-
piled that he would like continuance
and Egan said he wou d return later and
consent to o continuance.
Egan and Ellis returned to the court
sh orlly after IL o'clock They observed
that Harris wgs not in the dock with the
other prisoners. and Egan asked Clerk
Farrell if Harris case had been continued.
Farrell looked at his calendar and said
the case had not been called.
Egan asked both Bailiff Clarke and
Policeman Wallace if they had taken
Harris back to the prison, but they assured
him they had not done so, and he must
be in the dock. An examination of the
dock was made and it was discovered that
one of the wooden rails had been forced
off, leaving space sufficient for a man of
ordinary size to crawl through.
1t then became apparent that Harris
ad escaped from TIE dock by crawling
through the hole, but how the rail could
have been broken off and Harris crawl
through without being heard and OBJ.
served by the officers in the court or the
spectators is a mystery that is puzzling
the police. Ali the people in court were
interroeated by Captain Bohen, but they
all denied hearing any noise or seeing any
one crawling through the hole.
It was ascertained later that an accom-
plce was in the courtroom and aided
Harris in making his escape. He is
known 10 the police. The accom- plce
took his seat on the bench close to the
dock where Harris was sitting and the
probability is that he broke off the rail-
as the broken piece was found behind the
bench. Harris and his friend were seen
to lsave the City Hall by the Larkin-
street exit and board a south bound cable
car. Every effort will be made to recap
ture Harris, but the chances are not hope
full.
