PACIFIC GROVES CONFERENCE. Scholarly Discourses Delivered Be-
 fore the Christian Students.

PACIFIC GROVE, May 27-The work of the Pacific Coast Students Conference was prosecuted with growing interest to- day, and the various lectures were well attended by the students. In an outline or the history of Young Mems Christian Association work among college men, C. K. Ober, field secretary of the interna- tional committee, showed how the work had grown during the past twelve years and said that while last year S12, 900 cov- cred expenses, this year the greater work would require at least $17 900. In the Mis- sfonary Institute the topics for discussion were Financial Support of Missions" and 'The Students Volunteer Movement" A large subscription toward the coming years expenses was raised among the students during the financial session.
 After the lecture by G. c. Hickener con- corning association literature and the Bible instruction by H. B. Sharman, the address of Rev. F. L. Chapman, DID,, president of the California Anti-Saloon League, was delivered. Dr. Chapman took the somewhat odd subject of ''The Honest Doubter" and gave a scholarly discourse upon the person who honestly believes he does not believe.

CENTENNIAL NOW FLIES
 THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Newly Acquired Transport Will Leave Seattle for San Fran
 cisco This Afternoon.

SEATTLE, May 27.-The steamship Centennial now flies the stars and stripes. She has been accepted by the United States Government as a trans port for the carrying of troops to the Philippines, and will sail some time tomorrow afternoon for San Fran cisco. This evening and last night an armed guard of six men in the uniform of the Government patrolled the Cen tennial to prevent possible attack or meddIing by Spanish emissaries. Every precaution was taken by Captain Rob- inson, the assistant quartermaster who has charge of the vessel, to prevent in- jury to her machinery or hull.
 Captain B. B. Whitney of this city has been selected by the owners of the Centennial as her master on the long voyage to Manila Captain Whitney is an experienced navigator He assumed his duty as master of the vessel to-day. The Centennials bunkers are filled with coal, enough to last her to Manila where she will obtain a new supply. Two barges laden with coal which the Quartermaster Department recently purchased in British Columbia lay alongside the Centennial, and from these her supply was taken
 On her arrival at San Francisco the SeHlenIlidl VIII De turned over to Major Long, U. $. A., the officer in charge of the Quartermarter's Department in San Francisco. She will be able to carry 800 men and officers and their baggage annd effects to Manila
 The Centennial will go in company of fleet of transports, including the steamships Ohio, China, Zealandia, Ming Chow and Peter Jebsen (renamed the Brutus). The Ohio will probably join the fleet of transports at San Francisco within two or three days after the Centennial's arrival there. The Ohio is at present lying at anchor in Elliott Bay, but is expected to begin taking on coal tomorrow morning. Her nominal passenger capacity is 600, but she will be fitted to take at least POO more than this number.

CITY OF SITKA PROBABLY LOST Alaskan Schooner Long
 Missing. SAILED TEN WEEKS AGO TWO WHITES AND fl CHINESE
 ABOARD. Knew Nothing of the Northern Wa ters and Encountered Rough
 Weather at the
 Outset.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, May 27.-The little Alas Kan schooner City of Sitka has been given up as lost and three lives are believed to have been sacrificed. Ten weeks ago the schooner left Sitka for Fort Wrangel with three men aboard. They were Herman Thomas, T. H. Bale and An Poy, Chinaman. The schooner was never reported after leaving the Sltka harbor, and the friends of the men who sailed on her believe she went down.
 T. H. Bale and Herman Thomas, the white men on the schooner, were not acquainted with Alaskan waters and Knew little about sailing a schooner. They engaged the City of Sitka for a trip 10 Fort Wrangel, where they hoped to obtain work. Ah Poy, the China man, wanted to go down to Wrangel to get Job cooking. None of the three knew anything about the inland pas sage, and their friends tried to disSuade them from making the trip.
 No news of the wreck of the schooner has been received, and the Sitka people are now talking of sending search party to determine it's fate. It is be- neved the vessel struck a rock some where in the inland passage during the bad weather early in March. If so all hands went down with the boat, or they would have communicated with Sitka before this
 It is not an infrequent thing in the northern waters for a small expedition like the one on the City of Sitka to start out and never be heard from again Many men have lost their lives during the past winter In this way and the tact has never been recorded.

WHO STOLE MADERA'S COIN? Startling Theory of a
 Detective. DISCREDITS ROBBERY TALE ACCUSES THE DEPUTY TAX
 COLLECTOR.
Believes Evidence of a Ho1d-Up Was Created to Hide a Large Short age in the Official
 Accounts.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

! FRESNO, May 27.-It Is said revela- tions of sensational character will be brought to light in a few days in con- nection with the alleged Madeira rob- bery. On the morning following the re- ported footing of the safe, after Deputy Tax Collector William Krohn was said to have had a desperate encounter with two masked robbers, District Attorney Larew sent for Private Detective John Curtin and the latter has been working on the case since. He Is not yet in a position to make known the result of his investigation, but this much has been given out: A revelation will be made in few days which will create a sensation such as Madeira has not experienced for many days.
 District Attorney Larew said tonight to Call representative, over a tele- phone wire, that the views of the al- legged robbery entertained by himself and Detective Curtin were widely diff ferent from the published reports. Further than that MT. Larew did not care to say anything at the present time.
 Mr. Curtin was more communicative. He has theory, which Is given for what it is worth. He says he does not believe there were any desperadoes in the office at all, and that all evidences of a terrible conflict were created by krohn himself in an effort to give his robbery story plausible aspect. He believes the Deputy Collector was fax ing unconsciousnesS and says that all the wounds were superficial, and, he had no doubt, were self-inf1icted. He also discredits the story that Krohn tells about the attempt to lock him in the safe, of the fight for his life and the hurling of missiles at the robbers, cut ting one of them.
 But the strongest point in Curtin's opinion is the fact that there was not $S000 in the safe that night, nor an amount like that. The Tax Collector was supposed to bank frequently, and on the 7th day of May he made de- posit.
 It is said that Krohn Is not danger ously i'll, as reported.
 Detective Curtin gives it as his be- lief that defalcations to the amount of s8000 will be brought to light, and the shortage, he thinks, will extend back several years and will cover more than one administration. He has not been able to find anything against young Krohn'S reputation. Krohn did not spend money for liquor, did not gamble, and, in fact, was engaged in nothing that would consume much money. The deputy was practically conducting the office, as the Tax Collector is engaged in business and turned over the office to his brother. Further than signing papers the Tax Collector did no work in the office.
 One of the peculiar features of the mystery Is that young Krohn Is not be- lieved to be short to any great extent. Curtin believes he attempted to shield all parties, sacrificing himself In the attempt.

His purchases are said to be very heavy and competitive buying between him and the Chicago people has advanced the price already to SIS.
