He WAS FORCED TO SIGN
The Tribulations of a Trip to the
Klondike.
A LYNCHING THREATENED
The British Steamer Bristol Libeled by
A. B. Mcfarland for the Scurvy
Trick Her Captain Played Upon
His Party of Miners.

San Francisco, Feb. S.-An interest
to which emigrants to the Klondike ex
pose themselves is told in a libel
against the British steamer Bristol,
filed to-day in the United States dis
trict court by the Portland and Alas
ka Trading and Transportation COM
pany of Portland.
The libelant alleges that it chartered
the Bristol for the purpose of trans
porting passengers to Dawson City
from Seattle ii being understood that
in case of need she was to tow the Ii
bellant's steamer Eugene. After sew
eral days start was eventually made.
but the Bristol, in violation of the
charter, refused to permit each pass
enger TO carry one ton of baggage, and
then, instead of steaming through the
safer or Inner channel" chose the
outside route" regardless of the safe
ty of the Eugene.
1t is alleged that the Bristol put out
to open sea in the teeth of storm to
the distress of the Eugene and her
crew and passengers. So grievously
was the Eugene tossed and strained
that she had TO hoist signals of distress
and to seek shelter in Alert bay, on the
coast of Vancouver island. 1t being
found that the Eugene was unsea-
worthy, the captain of the Bristol re-
fused to offer his ship to rescue the pas
sengers unless they would sign release
of any cause of action which they might
have acquired against the Bristol. After
an alteration lasting several days, the
passengers surrendered and signed the
release.
He then demanded a release from E.
b. Mcfarland, general manager of the
company, who personally conducted the
lob ri md n n o.
cede. but the passengers, who had been
thwarted and so long delayed, were in
no mood to parley. Indignation meetings
We're held and the passengers decided to
lynch Mcfarland unless he signed the
required release. He was helped to a
determination by a committee of pas
sengers, who presented guns at his
breast and fired pistols within an inch of
his ears. Under the circumstances, Nc
Farland chose the better part of valor
and signed. He now alleges duress and
lack of consideration TO avoid the re-
lease. In consideration Of all this, the
libellant prays for $21, 900 as compensa-
ton for the damage suffered.

whole. that it would be best for the lay
men to be in the general conference in
equal numbers with the clergy. This
would bring the ministry and the peo-
pie little closer together, and 1t would
lead the laity to take more interest in
the general affairs of the church and 10
study the policy of the church more
fully and carefully than they now do.
Bishop Merrill-Ever since lay repre-
sentation has been in the general con-
ference il has been my firm persuasion
that satisfaction would not be secured
till lay delegates equal in numbers the
ministerial delegates. / am in favor of
a fixed and definite arrangement To this
end
Bishop Foss-1n a general way, the
desire of the laity for equal represen-
tation with the clergy in general con-
ference is, in itself, a very popular one,
and such equal representation should
be granted, as il Will ultimately be, |
believe.
Bishop Hurst-The impression exist
ing in some directions that the parti-
cipation of our laymen in the Legislative
and other councils of the Methodist
Episcopal church is not desired by the
clergy, is erroneous. fully share in
the wish what our general conference
shall consist of equal lay and clerical
delegates. for / believe it would be a
benefit to our entire church.
Bishop Walden-When the preachers
are satisfied that the highest interests
of the church will be promoted and con-
served by equal representation, they
will make the necessary change as
readily as they granted the first and
fundamental concession quarter of a
century ago.
Bishop Ninde--I believe strongly in
equal lay representation in the general
conference.
Bishop Nincent-Nhen the laity of
the church, after thorough considera-
ton of the subject. asks its full share
in responsibility and service the minis
try should grant the request.
Bishop Fowler-If laymen want equal
representation they should have it. one
body with equal members would neu-
tralize the tendency to awaken antag-
onism.
Bishop Goodsell--I am in favor OF
equal representation in the general con-
ference of laymen. When lay and cier-
zeal representation are equalized, we
might thus hope for the continued re-
turn to the general conference of eXpe-
rienced and eminent laymen.
Bishop Mallalieu--I believe in equal
numerical lay and clerical representa-
ton in the general conference, and
hence favor any step toward IT.
Bishop Cranston--I perceive both the
equity and expediency of equal minis
terial and lay representation i'll the
general conference.

MARINES LANDED.
The Revolution in Nicaragua Begins to
Take on a Serious Phase--Ameri-
can Interests prOtected.

Washington Feb. S.-Captain LeutZe
in command of the Alert, cabled the
navy department that he has landed
marines at San Juan Del Sur. Mica
ragua, for protection of the American
consulate, owing to the fact of q revo-
luton breaking out.
Captain Leutze's dispatches indicate
that the revolution in Nicaragua is as
Stunning serious phase In a telegram
sent yesterday Captain Leutze said
that the revolutionistS had taken pos
session of the city of San Juan Del Sur
and that the government troops We're
digging rifle pits in the suburbs, pre-
paratory to making an attempt to dis
lodge them. To-day he teegraphed
that the government forces We're at
lacking the city and that he had land
ed force of marines for the protec-
ton of the United States consulate and
American interests generally.
San Juan Del Sur is the northwest
terminus of the Nicaragua canal. and
is a cable station. The United states
has three warships near the scene of
the disturbance and ample measures
will be taken to protect American in
terests. The Alert is at San Juan Del
sur, the gunboat Marietta is at Lib
ertad. Salvador, and the gunboat New
port was at Greytown on the east
coast at last reports.
This afternoon a cablegram was re-
ceived at the navy department telling
of the progress of the revolutionary
movement at that end of the Nicara-
guam canal. The captain said that he
had landed force for the protection
of the United States consulate, and
the government forces had given no.
tice of their intention to lombard the
town: he had taken on the Alert all Of
the women and children who cared for
refuge. The bombardment began yes
terday and in the end the rebels We're
driven out of the town, which was
entered and taken possession of by the
government troops. The rebels re-
treated toward the interior of the coun-
try.
The opinion among the Central
Americans here is that the insurree-
tion was mistake in the beginning
and that it is doomed to failure. The
outcome of this uprising is awaited
with much interest because it is the
first real test that has been made of
the ability of the Greater Republic to
carry out that part of the tripartite
agreement that pledges united effort
to suppress rebellion in any one state

Spanish Explanation of Captain
Generals Failure to Send De-
tails of Defeat.

London, May 2.-The Spanish cabinet,
according to a special dispatch from Mad
rid TO the Evening News. sat for four
hours and only discussed the Manila dis
aster. The discussion. it is added, showed
the Spanish ministers are NOW fully
aroused and will exhaust their resources
in defense of the national honor
After the cabinet council, the Madrid
dispatch to the Evening News continues,
Gen. COrrea, the minister for war. and
Admiral Bermejo, the minister of marine
made a report to the Queen Regent. The
latter, it appears, who had already heard
of the reverse, was aflame with patriotic
enthusiasm" and declared that while the
loss of SO many ships was a misfortune,
there was satisfaction in the reflection
that the Spaniards had covered themselves
with honor"
The Queen Regent is said to have add
ed: MY spirit can never be daunted so
long as 1 can rely on the patriotism and
courage of the Spaniards."
The absence Of further details of the
Spanish defeat is supposed, according to
the Spanish officials, to be due to the pre-
occupation of Capt.-Gen. August in de-
Tending Manila.

THE FAMED TAFFETA.
1t is Worn by Young and Old Alike This
SpriuC.

Taffeta is the silk for those who like
crispness. and a black taffeta dress is
universally serviceable. Girls as young
as Is can wear them, and grandma
looks perfectly suited in hers. The girl
sets her bodice on a yoke of orange or
turquoise blue and trims the rest of the
dress with bias bands to match. The
dear old lady uses rows Of velvet. For
summer, white taffeta is to be just the
prettiest thing in the world, and one
dress of it, if properly planned and sup
piled with accessories, vii make a good
foundation all by itself for a summer
wardrobe. For dressy wear just now
checked taffetas are admirable material
though, of course. these Weayes are best
suited to youthful wearers. A dinner
dress for a young woman was made of
pink, blue and green checked taffeta.
and, the shades being delicate, the re-
suit was extremely attractive. Its bodice,
blOused slightly in front and hooked in
visibly at the side. The yoke was made
of bands and tucked null and yalen-
ciennes insertion, and had a collar of the
dress goods anG frilling of white net
at the lower edge. This was finished
with a collarette trimming of the silk,
trimmed with a valenciennes edged rufle.
the whole extending around the back.
On the skirt were two lace-edged silk
ruffies.
Spangles and jewels are again album
dant among the newest trimmings, al
though it is so short time since they
last were fashionable that it is difficult
to feel that such garnitures are striking
novelties. Of them, nevertheless, there
is a regular deluge, Or rather there are
whole consultations Of them, and they
are positively to be worn on everything.
Ribbons, which are more popular than
ever, to be quite right, must blaze with
rows Of jewels or with encrusting of
spangles in scale-like closeness. Span
giles are on stockings, shoes and SLIPPERS,
hats are ablaze with them, whole bodices
and skirts twinkle with them, and they
flash on some corsets. They are not on
undershirts yet, nor on night dresses, but
who knows what will happen next?

A CURIOUS SHOP.

I've seen the strangest, weirdest shop
That shoppers ever knew,
Where one is ne'er allowed to stop,
And must go flying through.
One never sees Il bargain sale
In this strange shopping place,
And disappointment casts her veil
Ger every pallfd face.
Here one buys laughter; there, hot tears,
And such lot of care.
The easements stocked with years and
years,
YET has not one to spare!
Here IS some ardent love to buy,
There is the counter where
one finds unlimited supply
OF anger and despair.
Ambition leads the motley crew
Down to the counter fame,
And says, I'm sorry, friends, for you,
Twas all gone ere you camel"
Each clerk is smooth, and SNUG, and bland
And when you think you've got
The goods you paid for in your hand,
You're fooled as like as not!
Indeed this is the uueerest store,
For all the human pack
Who enter through the swinging door
Can never more turn back.
So on they march through aisle and aisle,
Through passages they wend;
But, OH It takes a dreary while
To reach the g-SOught end.
Who run the shop? All may divine
Its managers, for To-
