The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-08-06

The Secretary of the Treasury made
Dyea sub port OF entry ana handed over
great amount of American business to
the Canadians largely because Great
Britain assented to another conference on
tie sealing question, according to Senator
Perkins.
The Senator protested vigorously, but
unavailingly, at Washington, when it was
being cons dered a few days ago, and
when he got home yesterday he expressed
unbound ded disapproval cf the step and
gave the story of the trans action.
1.-The first appicatiCn so far as l know,
was made by ex-senator Allen OF Wash
ington, as attorney for the Canadian Navi-
CATION Company, which wanted to get
into the rushing trade with Dyea. He
first asked that United States customs
officers accompany Their vesses 10 Dyea
n | their freight to the boundary, and
then it was asked that special collector
of customs be located at Dyea and they
be allowed to land there. l examined the
law and pointed out to the treasury au-
ihorities that it could not be done.
Meantime, week ago Thursday. ap-
pIication for permission to transport good S
in bond from Dyea to Canadian territory
was made. Dyea, not being a port of
entry, this permission could not be
granted. Everything would have 20 first
go to Juneau. The whole question was
discussed among treasury officials and
hen referred TO the solicitor of the depart
ment.
son Friday the question came up at
Cabinet meeting, at which all but Secre-
tary Sherman were present and all the re-
quests were fully discussed. Meantime
The dispatch from Mr.. Foster stating that
Great Britain had acceded to sealing
conference was received and the Cabinet
was inclined to be accommodating 1t
was decided that it would not do to give
special permission to foreign boats to land
al Dyea, but that Dyea should be made
SUPPORT OF entry. Secretary Gage said to
me in effect: Here are the mines, mainly
in Canadian territory. We have Ameri-
can boats running up the Yukon aud we
must gran favors or we Will receive none
What lavors have oeen e'eived | don't

Gage. The favors from the Canad ians are
only in the Imagination. Not only have
they not granted us tavors, but they have
Disseminated against u. When we
started to run steamers to Fort Simpson,
which was port of entry few years ago,
that port was closed by the Canadian
Government for the benefit of The same
people for which Dyea was opened by our
Government. Making Dyea port OF en-
try gives them the same advantages as
are enjoyed by American ships, built in

Business in Selling

BUT THEY CEASE TO ACETATE
FER RETALIATION.
Nothing Done Since the Filing of
the Protest Against Making
Dyea a Sub Port of Entry.

SEATTLE. WASH, Aug 5.-The Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, by resolution
some days since, registered its protest
against the making OF Dyea and Skaguay
SUPPORTS of entry, which was telegraphed
to Washington, and this seems to have
entirely ended the agitation upon the sub
ject so far as this city is concerned, for
not another step has been taken In the
matter, and nobody seems to be interested
in doing anything further IN the line of
backing this up with individual protests
or individual work to secure the desired
action by the Treasury Department. The
first spasm seems to have exhausted the
entire stock of public indignation and for
the time being the subject does not seem
TO have interest enough to be a topic of
conversation.
An evidence of what this sudden rush
to the new goIdfelds means to the cities
which are Quitting the KIondykers was
seen on the Northern Pacific train which
reached Seattle yesterday. On this train
we're sixty-eight passengers having the
Eiopdyke as their objective point, and
twenty one States were represented on
the train. Having become more or less
intimately acquainted in their three DAYS
journey, the proposal was made that the
entire crowd 'pool issues" and buy their
outfits at the same stores in Seattle, de-
manding a rebate for the magnitude OF
the trade. III figuring up what amount
each man proposed to invest in developed
that the crowd collectively proposed to
pay out 81, 0CG to Seattle outhtters, and it
is presumed they have done so, for every
member of the party has secured passage
for the north. The pooling scheme fell
through.
In this crowd came one OF the most &C.
centric individuals yet borne into view by
the KIondyke craze, in the person of
Judge Hiram Robbins of Little Rock
Ark. The Judge, who is somew here in
the neigh borhood OF so, resigned his posi-
. tion as District Judge in order to Join in
the rush for the new gold region. He is

The steamer Cleveland left for st.

passengers. Among the crowd on the wharf
who saw them off we're large number OF
the people who have engaged passage on
the Willamette and other steamers leaving
this week for Dyea. There were manv
expressions of envy for the fortunate 200

THE RUSH TOWARD PHOENIX.
Prospect of an Early and Unusually
 Heavy Immigration.

Among returning Phoenicians yes terday morning was MT. H. IA. Diehl, who went east several weeks ago on a visit of pleasure and business. He spent considerable time at Chicago Cleveland, his old home at Warren, O., New York and at Rochester and other great manufacturing points.
 Beside the unusual prosperity on every hand, the thing which struck Mir. Diehl most forcibly was the eagerness of eastern people to learn more about Arizona. "I believe, !" said he, q could have encouraged 800 persons to come here this winter. Wherever I went I was besieged with inquiries about Phoenix I told without establishment of the advan- tages offered those in search of health or investments, but I encouraged none to come ito swell the number of wage earners already here. From what I saw and heard I think Phoenix will be crowded with visitors, among whom will be many capitalists looking for investments in mines or lands.''
 While in the east MT. Diehl met a gentleman who has been here before, but whose name Is not given. He mas been making careful study Of the sugar beet industry and has ar rived at the conclusion that this coun- try possesses an important advantage over the Chino valley. It is more than possible that his visit will result in the early establishment of factory here. He is backed by the great OK hard company. MT Diehl visited the milk sugar factory of Moore & Fobes at Kinsman, O. These gentleman are also interested in the beet sugar in- dustry and will visit Phoenix in the course of the winter,
 While at Warren, his former home, MT. Diehl met MT. Whittlesley Adams, who spent a winter in Phoenix. He afterward visited southern Califor- nia and other parts of the country after which he decided that Phoenix was superior to any other point on his route. He will return this winter. MT. Adams is not a health seeker. Neither are any of the other members of his family, but they are already acquiring imaginary ailments as ex- cuses for making the journey.

PERSONAL.

Major James Ellis, who has just died at his home in Pottsville, Pa, served gallantly in the civil war, and afterward became we'll known as an able lawyer. He had charge of all the interests of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway and Coal and Iron companies in the Pottsville region,
 having jbeen their resident counsel since 1872, and was the attorney of the Schuylkill Traction company and ether important corporations.
 Consul General Uchida,'' says the Boston Transcript, 'has received a letter from Count Okuma, prime min ister of Japan, asking him to send an artificial leg to cost s10O, and it will be shipped to Japan. Count Ok uma lost one of his legs in 1890. A Japanese fanatic, Huneki Karuschima, threw a dynamite boInb into the building of the foreign office where Count Okuma was at work The Jap anese official was badly injured and lost his right leg. That is how he came to give an order to the Japa- nese consul general for a new leg of the latest American pattern"
 Bishop s. G. Messmer Roman Cath olic) of Wisconsin, thus explains why he disciplined the members of a Catholic society for indulging in a
 ball: There was no reason for hav- ing ball, not to mention that such is not the custom at Catholic con- ventions. It is a most humiliating confession on the part of a Catholic society if they are not able, under the favorable circumstances offered by any state convention, to provide for a two nights entertainment in a nobler, more dignified and more use- full way than by a dance It shows serious lack of true Catholic spirit
 when dancing party is to be the crOwning of a state convention, no matter of what Catholic organization, while bishops, priests and the best men of the laity are striving to raise our Catholic people to higher and loftier plane in the pursuit of Catholic ideals and the showing forth of the Christian virtues''

GENERAL SIMPSONS SUPPORT.
It Was SO Overwhelming It Could Not
 Be Resisted.

Under the announcement of the ap- continent of General A. J. Sampson as minister to Ecuador, the Washing ton Post printed picture of the gen. eraI and a brief, but succinct, ac- count of his military, political and private career. The picture looks as if Postmaster Thomas of Phoenix might have sat for it. This observa- tion is a reflection on neither the min- ister nor the postmaster. General Sampson's support of his application was overwhelming, for says the Post: His inducements were remarkably strong, coming from among the best men in twenty eight different states, including sixteen United States sen ators."
 It says further of his work: "As a campaign speaker he has always been in demand. In last years campaign he spoke in five or six different states In addition to the duties of his law practice, he has always found time to 1 devote to educational and literary matters; he delivered the course oi l lectures to the senior class in the med l ical college of the university of south i ern California, in 1S8S-89; was fol 1 years one of the trustees of the Den.

 nals and magazines, lectured on musi, of the war, Lincoln, revolutions, oul flag, music and musicians"

passenger on the early train from the north, said to be a blacksmith from Vulture, got into the Central Hotel restaurant half a dozen blocks away before some of the passengers had gotten out of the cars. When the waiter handed him the bill of fare he pushed it aside impatiently and de- handed eggs. Turn 'em over," he said. How many?" asked the wait CT. 'Damficare," replied the Vulture- ite. Say a hatful to start with The waiter suggested coffee, bread and butter, etc., to which the man from that slice of ham might be thrown in to give the eggs flavor. The first installment consisted of six eggs.
 They disappeared with a rapidity
 which would have discouraged the slow, but painstakirg hen The egg order was renewed, including more coffee and ham. The second half dozen disappeared and another was ordered and another, until thirty-five eggs, fried, boiled, shirred and scram- bled, had gone to satisfy an inflamed appetite. The last half dozen were eaten with rather less avidity, and the Vulture man explained to the waiter that his fondness for eggs had been born with him and was not an ac- quired taste. Eggs were not entirely unknown at Vulture,, but he said they could not be obtained there in quan- titles worth fooling with, so he had eaten none since his last. visit to Phoenix. He made it point to get

House Warming in District 3S Las
 Night


 The handsome new brick school house in district No 3S was thoroughly warmed last night and was started on it's educational career under the most favorable circumstances.

Senor Reverter Not Likely to Be Re

Madrid, Sept. 25.-Tihe Imparcial says that the belief is growing that the council of the congregation of which the pope is president, considers Senor Reverter, minister of finance, who was recently communicated by a decree issued by the bishop of Pal ma, proper subject for excommuni- cation.
 The action of the bishop of Palma was taken up on the ground that Senol Reverter had converted church lands to the use of the government.

An Explanation.

1t seems there is some mis-.
understanding as to the
status of the road improve
ment at Batesville. ! will
state the facts. A few cit
liens knowing the bad con.
dition of the road from town
to Miller's Greek started a
subscription to raise money
to improve it, some four
hundred dollars were Sc.
cured, when a public meet
ing was called and a commit
tee of three appointed to
say where and how to spend
the money. They secured a
good engineer and with him
went carefully over all the
routes leading from the
creek to Batesviile. After
this survey the road was
finally located on the hillside
south of the railroad track.
This placed the road entire
ly above overflow, crossed
the railroad track at a
smooth place at right angles
and crossed the creek at a
point where a bridge not
more than fifty feet long
would be ne :ded. While
the route selected was ex.
pensive to build, it was
shorter and It was conceded
by all that it was the best,
that after the road was fin.
ished it would last forever.
While this work was
going on a call was made for
the organization of the Eve.
ming Shade and Batesville
road league. Ratesville sent
representatives and proposed
to join heartily in the move.
ment to make a good road
the" entire distance from
Batesville to Evening Shade,
A sub'league was organized
IN Batesville and a subscrip.
tlon amounting to some three
hundred dollars was secured
in one day. This amount
was subject only to the
orders of the executive CON.
mittee of the Evening Shade
and Ba'esville road league.
In the meantime the first or.
ganization was pushing Wig,
orously the work on the
road. No one thought of any
clash between the two or.
