BARON NlsHrs THANKS.
Gratifsd at Rescue OF Japs After Col
lision with American WRrship.

liston with American WarshIp.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. - United
States Minister Buck at Toxic. has
transmitted to the state department
correspondence that passed between the
Japanese foreign office and the United
States legation respecting the rescue by
the United States steamer Boston Of
the crew of a junk run down by the
Warship.
In a letter from Baron Nishi, the
Japanese foreign minister to Mr.. Buck
the former states that on July 2s last,
while Vnohu Maru a Japanese junk,
was i'm a most perilous condition In the
strong gale and heavy seas about five
miles off Kiazamoto Minato, in the is
land Of Xxi, her crew observed large
ship coming toward them.
Seeing the imminent danger, they
tried hard to avoid the collision, but in
vain. The junk instantly struck that
large shin. Her mast was broken, and
her null sustained great damage.
Then the large ship stopped and told
them to come on board. AS soon as
they got on board the junk went down.
That large ship was found to be the
United States man-of-war Boston,
which. after having rescued Shudo va
sokchi and his two sons, treated them
very kindly on board and delivered
them to the imperial Japanese consul
at Chefoo, China, where she arrived on
Aug. G."
For this rescue Baron Nishi sincerely
thanked the captain Of the Boston
through Mr., Buck. which the latter
gracefully acknowledged.

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER ALMA
MAC.

The Philadelphia Inquirer Almanac
for 1898 is one Of the best and COM
pletest books of reference ever issued.
It's contents have been boiled down to
the smallest compass compatible with
completeness, every subject having
been given careful attention by the
best authorities. In its preparation,
statistics regarding Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Dela-
ware have been given special attention
and printed at great length. Exhaust
i've statistics on the financial question
in a way comprehensive to the aver
age reader have been prepared. In this
connection are given the debts of all OF
the states and cities, with the rate Of
taxation in each, and a history of the
national debt from 1876 to 1897. The
policy and messages of President Nc
inley are given in detail, together with
the disputes brought before his cabinet.
Tables devoted to the newly-discovered
gold mines in Alaska with important
information and practical directions
for the gold-seeker, will prove espec-
tally valuable at this time. The re-
quirements for West Point and all na-
tional institutions and positions under
the civil service system are fully eX-
planned in thisvolume and sporting rec
ords, amateur and professional, have
been furnished by the best authorities

Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-According to the
Madrid correspondent of the Times the
following is the text of the bill au-
thorizing the Government to conclude
peace:
The reverses suffered by our arms In
the unequal struggle to which we were
driven in order to defend the honor of
the nation and maintain it's rights de-
prived us at an early stage of the ele-
ments required for continuing the war.
The bravery of our soldiers and sail
orS proved insufficient, as did the calm
attitude OF the nation, ever ready to
shed its blood and sacrifice it's resources
for the honor of the Spanish flag.
separated by wide seas from the
territories 1t was our object to protect,
and these territories being closely
Dlockaded, so that our few remaining
ships could not reach them, Her Ma
Jesty's Government has been compell-
ed to admit the bitter truth, that an
end must be put to the war.
THE sense of responsibility entailed
by the preliminary peace negotiations
had weighed heavily on the Govern
ment. Notwithstanding 1t fully appre-
ciated its duty toward the country, the
Government has had to consent to
these preliminary negotiations and to
Wv " liie VI uei SdCIluceS imposed by
sheer necessity.
For this reason and because peace
must be purchased at the cost Of a
cession of territory and the abandon
ment of sovereign rights, the Govern
ment has thought it expedient to sound
the Cortes before concluding the treaty,
the ratification of which will be duly
notified to both chambers in accordance
with constitutional law.
The Government, whose moderate
language will not be "ound fault with
by the representatives of the nations.
limits itself to submitting to the Cortes
the following bill, whose first and only
article is:
The Government Is authorized to
renounce rights of sovereignty and to
cede territory in the Spanish colonies
in accordance with the peace prelimi-
naries agreed upon with the Govern
ment of the United States of America. .

In with prolonged shout, arriving on
a narrow gauge special at II o'clock.
The Garden City drum corps, accom-
panied by detachments from the local
parlors, was at the narrow gauge sta
ton to meet and greet the Native Sons
from Alameda County. A long line of
electric cars was in waiting to trans
port the ladies from the depot to the
central section Of the brilliantly IL
Illuminated city. Many Of the daughters
awaited themselves of the privilege of
marching in column and shooting
Roman candles, while the sons carried
the luggage and shouted. A deal of
marching was done to the tune of "a
Hot Time in the Old Town"
There was a notable lack of precision
In the formation of the procession at
the narrow gauge station. The Pied
mont band contributed some of the
music, but the music was not heard by
the musicians owing to the volume of
shouting and yelling by incoming Sons
of the Golden West. Marching up San
ia Clara street the Alameda Parlors
came in friendly contact with the roar
Ing sons from the peninsula of San
Francisco. Then the natives dwelling
in the Santa Clara Valley did realize
that the conditions were highly favor
able for hot time in the old town to-
night. AS midnight approaches the
enthusiasm increases. First street is
lurid and smoky. The Native Daugh-,
tiers belonging to some of the parlofs
go arm in arm with their escorts and
participate Joyously in the animated
scenes.

ALGER WANTS AN
INVESTIGATION
Joined by the Adjutant
General.
DESIRES A COURT MARTIAL
PRESIDENT HAS REACHED NO
DECISION.
Reviews the Question in All It's
Phases and May Come to
Conclusion at To-Day's
Cabinet Meeting.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Secretary
Alger has requested the President to
order a thorough and searching inves-
tigation of the War Department. In
this request the Secretary has been
joined by Adjutant General Corbin. NO
decision has been reached yet by the
President, who has the request OF
Secretary Alger under consideration,
but has not yet determined whether he
will grant 1t or not.
Secretary Alger had a long confer
ence with the President tonight be-
fore he left the city, and impressed
upon him his earnest desire that q
courtmartial should be ordered. The
question, was thoroughly discussed in
all its phases. Secretary Wilson par
ticipated in the conference and General
Corbin was present during a part of the
time. 1t now seems not unlikely that
the court Of inquiry will be ordered,
but it is the wish of the President to
further consider the matter before an
nouncing a definite policy.
The question probably will receive
consideration at the Cabinet meeting
tomorrow. General Griggs is among
those who will not be present at to-
morrow's meeting. 1t is the wish Of the
President to take up all the particulars
of the controversy.
Should the investigation be ordered,
it will include, probably, all matters re-
lating to the conduct of the war, so
far as they concern the War Depart
ment. Secretary Alger expresses him
self as confident that such an investi-
cation, If conducted promptly and thor
oughly, will result in much good.
Such an investigation as has been re-
quested Is, it is pointed out, beset with
some difficulties. No charges of a def
mite character have been filed by any
responsible person or official. Sensa-
tional stories and rumors. for which the
administration has present knowledge
that there is no foundation. have been
circulated and objection Is made to
Identifying them by the ordering Of an
investigation. BY those who desire and
advocate the investigation it is main
tanned it can do no possible harm and
the controversy will be of benefit in
clearing away manifest errors from the
minds Of many people and in placing
the blame, If any Is to be placed. where
1t rightfully belongs.

RENO, Sept. 8.-When the Demo-

by Chairman Weber this afternoon
the first bombshen of the battle ex-
ploded when the committee on creden-
tails reported that about forty dele
gates were not entitled to seats in the

Supreme Bench was selected as perma-
nent chairman.
At the evening session the discord
among the delegates was shown in the
attempt of Chairman Coming of White
Pine to submit his partial report on
platform and resolutions. He recon-
mended an adjournment to give the
committee time to complete it's report
and to allow the minority to submit
their views to the convention.
Sharon of Storey moved that the
platform be adopted at once. He had
assurances that it had been completed
and wanted it disposed of Immediately.
After a vigorous discussion on both
sides in which there were cries of fraud
and jobbery, the motion was lost
