ON THE DIAMOND
California Markets Win the Examiner
Pennant

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-The last
scheduled game in the Examiner tourna-
tnent was played off today between the
Beachcombers of Santa Cruz and the
California Markets of this city. Hughes
of the Gilt Edge team of Sacramento
was in the box for the visitors, and the
best the local boys could do was to get
two scratch hits. Iberg pitched his
usual good game up to the seventh inn
ing, and at that stage of the game neither
team had scored. In the last part of the
seventh two hits and an error and stol-
en- base gave Santa Cruz one run, and in
the eighth inning they scored twice. The
locals did not succeed in getting a man
as far as third base.
By defeating the Santa Clara college
team yesterday the California Markets
won the pennant.
Mayor Phelan stepped on the diamond
during the eighth inning and presented
the Markets with the trophy. Score:

DURRANT's DEFENSE
The Attorneys Are Engineering
Another Appeal

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.-The attor-
neys for Durrant have not given up the
hope of obtaining from the federal
courts another postponement of the date
sent for the execution Of the sentence
against their client. Having failed last
week to obtain a hearing on their ap-
plication for writ Of habeas corpus
before either Judge DeHaven or Judge
Hawley, they now propose to appear be-
fore Judge Morrow Of the United States
circuit court tomorrow morning. While
this legal contest is being conducted
another appeal to Governor Budd will
be perfected in the hope that he will be
induced to grant Durrant reprieve I'M
til all the legal points at issue have been
fully determined. In case all efforts to
secure a postponement Of the execution
fail, it is now understood that Durrant's
father will be at the foot Of the gal
lows to hear his sons last words and to
witness his death.
Mrs. Durrant will be with her son I'M
til half an hour before the end. She will
not witness the closing scenes.

SEATTLE. WASH, Jan. 2.-Forty-five
Klondikers arrived here tonight on the
steamer Corona from Skaguay and
Dyea. They brought no late news, as
all of them left Dawson previous to No
vember 25th. In reference to the food
situation they confirm the stories of last
weeks arrivals that there will be no
famine this winter, although provisions
are scarce. 1t will be necessary, how
ever, they think, to send supplies in the
early spring, as the stock on hand will
be pretty well exhausted by the time
the Yukon opens for navigation.
Among those coming from Dawson
were DR.. vansant, Peoria, ILL.,; Allan r.
Joy, Portland, Ore, and A. E. Murphy
and James 2. Kelly of Henena, Mont.
The trip out was a very hard one on
account Of the extreme cold, the Their

piled up as high as fifteen feet and only
Many outfits which started down in

son of Juneau were arrested on the
charge Of having stolen the gold, but
were discharged after examination by
Judge MCGUIRE.
The town council Of Skaguay has
adopted a set Of resolutions protesting
against the adjustment of the SUPPORT
of Dyea. The resolutions set forth that
the duty collected since the establish
ment Of the port amounts to $4,000 and
the revenue to be derived the next twelve
months will probably exceed $4,000.
People are pouring into Skaguay and
Dyea on every steamer. Hotels and
lodging houses are taxed to their full
capacity. If the influx continues at the
present rate accommodations will be
out Of the question within two weeks,
it is feared.
The trails across the mountains are
not in good condition at present. owing
to raw and warm weather on the coast
and deep SHOWS on the summit.
The estimates Of the amount of the
gold brought down on the Corona differ
widely. They range all the way from
$1,000 to 100000.

The steamer Indrapura has arrived
from Japan. bringing the latest advices
regarding the oriental situation. Ii
Hung Chang has been recalled to power

council desiring his assistance in the
present diplomatic crises. Ii Hung
Chang recently started to his estates on
account of Ill health. but he has now re-
turned to Pekin, and the government

Thousands Of troops are being re-
cruited in all the Chinese maritime
provinces within 80 days. The emperor
has received forty-eight secret me-
MORALS regarding the defense of the
empire from high military and civil Of
tlcials throughout China. All China is
awakening.
A number of papers in Japan and the
Chinese maritime ports express the be-
lief that a partition Of China among the
powers is inevitable. In Shanghai it is
reported that France will receive For

John Conway, chief of the Jersey City

ened by shouts. Running into the hall,
he saw the smoke and flames In the low
err hall. His father was there, and they
managed to get out Of the house In their
night clothes. Young Reich ran down
the street and gave the alarm. When
he returned his father was nowhere to
be seen, but one of his brothers, Sig
mund, was there, badly burned. He was
taken to neighboring house, where he
said that some one had awakened him
and that he had jumped through the
binding smoke and flames down the
staircase and out into the open air.
Several engine companies responded
to the alarm, and in few minutes the
fire was out. Then began the search Of
the house. The rays of the lanterns dis
closed three charred bodies against the
wall at the foot of the stairs. They were
those of Adolph Reich. his daughter, TIL
lie, and little Gustav. The father had
fallen upon the daughter, and his son
was in his arms. They were burned al
most beyond recognition.
In the basement of the house the
searching party stumbled over the re-
mains of Ida and Albert, two blackened
corpses, with arms entwined. Portions
of the limbs had been entirely burned
away and the faces were horribly dis
torted.
The mother was found in the dining
room. She was but slightly burned and
undoubtedly died from suffocation.
The bodies were sent to the morgue.
