PASSENGERS AND CREW SAFE
ESCAPE IN SMALL BOATS TO THE
SHORE.
The John C. Barr Is Fast on a Sand
Bar Near Fort Selkirk and
Probably Will Become
Total Wreck.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Oct. 2S.-The large Yukon
River steamship Anglican was wrecked
near the confluence of Hootalinqua
and Thirty-mile rivers three weeks
ago, according to a report brought to-
day by passengers on the steamship
Cottage City. The Anglican had tried
to reach White Horse Rapids, where
she was to go into winter quarters, but
failed on account of the very low water.
which usually precedes the freezing up
of the Yukon's uppeg waters. The
steamship was accordingly turned
around. with the intention of returning
to Dawson. After proceeding about
twenty miles down river she struck
sunken rock A few hours later she
went down, as the water steadily
gained on her pumps. She undoubtedly
will be a total wreck, as nothing can
be done to raise her before the Ice
breaks up. By that time she will have
been entirely demolished. Her passen-
gers and crew escaped in small boats
and camped on shore until provisions
could be procured to enable them to
reach Dawson.
The steamship John c. Barr, belong
ing to the North American Transporta-
ton and Trading Company, recently
went ashore on a sandbar forty miles
below Fort Selkirk. Great efforts were
being made to get her off. If they fail
she probably will be broken to pieces
by ice jams when the river freezes.
The Barr was taking a cargo of cat
tie to Dawson for Pat Galvfn'S COM
pany. Being new to the upper river her
officers got her into a channel having
a sandhar at the end of it. In trying
to turn around she was forced on the
bar and the swift current made 1t next
to impossible to release her.

Solano County Growers Find Profit
able Foreign Market.

SUISUN, Oct. 2S.-Large demands have
been received here from Germany for
dried fruits. Suisun has been made the
headquarters of an influential firm that
two years ago commenced shipping dried
fruits to Hamburg. Consignments were
at first made on a small scale and the
fruit sent was of firSt-class quality and
neatly packed in boxes. The enterprise
proved a satisfactory one, and in con-
sequence a permanent market has been
established which promises such an ex-
tension of business and increased demands
that an additional avenue for the dis
posal of California dried fruit has been
opened. The season opened with the
shipment of dried apricOts, peaches and
pears. The demand at present is for
prunes, and during the past week six
carloads have been shipped to Hamburg.

THAT FOR GAGE.

Congressman de
VrieS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, Oct 28.-The Democrats
and Peoples party men made a big
showing here tonight in honor of their
standard-bearer, Judge James G. Ma
guire, and E. L. Hutchinson. While the
demonstration was an immense affair it
by no means came up to the one given
the Republican nominees last week,
either in point Of numbers or in mag
nificence.
Judge Mcguire, E. l. Hutchinson and
H. A. McCraney. the latter candidate
for Clerk of the Supreme Court, spoke
at Placerville last night and to-day
made the trip to Auburn by private
conveyance, stopping at Georgetown,

ing Auburnites: Sam J. Pullen, chair
man of the Democratic Central Com
mittee; John Davis, secretary of the
Peoples Party Committee; Mayor J.
w. Morgan and A. n. Hoffman. Con-
gresham de Vries and Railroad Com
missioner La Rue had preceded the gu
bernatorial party by train, and when
all arrived a reception was held at the
American Hotel.
Flags, Chinese lanterns and red lights
took the place of torches and the pa
raiders formed at the town plaza. They
were marshaled by Fred E. Brye, F. 8.
Roumage and Charles Wubbena, the
Auburn band leading and the bands
from Lincoln, Roseville, Newcastle and
Colfax following and dividing the pro-
cession into five sections. The line of
march was along the main street to the
depot, countermarching to the opera
house.
General 10 Hamilton presided at the
meeting. Judge Mcguire was the first
speaker. His remarks were on the same
lines as those delivered elsewhere. He
declared the single tax was not an is-
sue, but that the railroad was. He
called attention TO the fact that NJ. M.
Estee had been called down" and a
railroad attorney substituted to stump
the State with Gage. He defended his
course in Congress on the funding bill
amendment and challenged anybody to
name a railroad man who was not sup
porting the Republican ticket. In clos
ing he delivered a eulogy ON Congress
man de Vries and his work in Congress.
Mcguire was followed by Hutchinson,
McCraney, La Rue and De Vries, who
addressed the audience briefly. Dur
ing intervals of the meeting campaign
songs were sung by the Forest Hill and
Newcastle Glee clubs. A dance con-
cluded the day.

standing the fact that two prominent fu-
sion speakers were here tonight Hon.

off its feet with his wonderful eloquence.
Armory Hall was packed with an eager
multitude Had there been room in the
hall the fusion speakers on the street
would not have had a corporaps guard
of hearers.
No speaker ever created a more pro-
found impression. Mr.. Davis spoke for
an hour and a half. and his manner of
presenting the national issues made nu
merous converts. People were hungry
for such a talk and not a word was
missed When Mckinley and territorial
expansion were touched upon there was
wild applause Old Democrats and Popu-

The conduct of the war and the Presi-

Speaking of Seizure by Resolu-
tion," Harper's Weekly says: "As
to what we may be about to do in
Hawaii, nothing 80 monstrous has
been proposed to this country since
Buchanan, Soule and Mason issued
the famous Ostend manifesto con-
cerning Cuba" X "What is
the character of this effort to in
crease the territorial possessions of
the United States2 As formulated
in this resolution it is brigandage
pure and simple, and thus far in it's
history the United States Supreme
Court has not found that Congress
has the power to seize the territory
of distant peoples. We propose to
take these islands simply because
we want them, by means of Joint
resolution" X "The New
lands resolution is, moreover,
legislative assault upon Hawaii and
is contrary to the essential charac-
ter OF our own government"
These extracts are from an edi-
torial that is worth reading. We
have quoted enough to give force to
another remark. That as the con-
spirators meted it to Hawaiians in
1898 so shall it be measured to the
conspirators sooner or later.
