TWO MEN MEET DEATH
 M AHT7-JEWiSH RIOTS.
Mob n Aigers Drives Merchants Into the Streets and Wrecks Buid-
 iu0S

ALGIERS, Jan 23.-Anti-Jewish riots were renewed here to-day. The mob in- vaded the Jewish quarter and pillaged the shops in the Rue Babazoua, driving the Jewish merchants outinto the streets. A squadron of chasseurs was ordered to the scene and charged the mob with drawn swords, but the mob reformed further on cheering for the army.
 Revolvers and daggers were freely used. One man who was stabbed in the back and shot in the head, died on the spot, and many were seriously wounded, one, named Cayol, dying from his wounds at o'clock this afternoon. The crowd hear ing of this became dangerously excited, shouting:
 They're murdering us. Death to the Jews'
 The mob then resumed its pillaging. The fronts of six shops were destroyed. The police repeatedly charged the rioters, but were stubbornly resisted and were powerless to restore order until the troops arrived. Several policemen were severely maltreated. Many arrests for theft have been made. The Jewish authorities rec ommend their co-religionists to remain in doors. Both the men killed in the riots were Christians, and their companions have sworn to avenge them. It is feared there will be further riots

COMMISSIONER SMITH OF
 SKAGUAY 70 BE ARRESTED.
Five Charges Of Wrongdoing in Office Filed Against United States
 OffcjnL

TACOMA, Jan. 23.-The steamer Seattle brought news that a warrant is out for the arrest of United States Commissioner John U. Smith of Skaguay on five charges. These are reported to be solic- iting a bribe, receiving a bribe, felony, malfeasance and misfeasance in office. Dr. Hornsby, a member of the Skaguay Council, has filed three affidavits. cover ing these charges, with Judge Johnson of the United States District Court. The affidavits are sworn to by Skaguay busi- ness men. The names of the prosecutors and the details of the charges had not been made public when the Seattle left Skaguay.
 Before filing the charges Dr. Hornsby told Smith what he intended to do. Smith thought the charges should be first in- vestigated by committee of citizens, but not be legal, and with public feeling so much against him, Smith could not hope for an impartial hearing.
 Reports of the commissioners alleged illegal actions have been received here from time to time. It is believed by pas sengers on the steamer who are familiar with the situation that a thorough inves- tigation will now be had. Last fall Smith was charged with illegally demanding fees for registering town lots. An exam iner from the Department of Justice went to Skaguay to investigate. He believed Smith had no intention of wrongdoing and no action was taken.

 S6N FRANCISCO CALI.
Grand Gala Scoop Oyer PresumptUous Con- temporaries Causes Surprise and Com
 n1endotion Among Merced People.

MERGED, Jan. 23-The grand gala scoop of The Call over its more pre- sumptuous contemporaries by the un- expected and highly appreciated ad- vent of a special Golden Jubilee Edi- tion on a special train at break of day to-day is, indeed another laurel justly won and of which it may well feel proud. The populace was not slow to find it out and made post-haste for the news stands and the Fl Capitan Hotel. where with lavish hand regular and transient customers were served with the superb edition, it being fully ten hours in advance of the other big dail- ies, the general news in which had be- come second-handed by the time of their arrival at 3:15 D. m.
 The consensus of opinion was that The Call scored an impressive sweep ing victory and got the call on it's rivals AS the frontispiece represents a miner holding out to the world its most precious gift, so does the entire edition present to the State the nation and the world a compendium of the mining industry of the State, its past. present and future. Nothing like 1t was ever seen in Merced before, and an admiring public rises enmasse to honor a scoop complete in itself, the envy of contemporaries and the pride of the State. As an interesting, in structive souvenir of an occasion sec ond to none in the annals of California it will be treasured at home for it's wealth of news and spread broadcast for the information it imparts. The Call leads, others follow or try to, is what the masses say.

SIX HOURS AHEAD OF SAH FRANCISCO
 C0MPETITORS AT STOCKTON.
So Wefcome Were the Copies Of the Jubilee Edition of The Call That They Were
 Soon at q Premium.

STOCKTON, Jan. 23.-The people of Stockton could hardly believe their ears this morning when they heard a legion of newsboys crying "The Call" on the streets few minutes after o'clock. The papers had hardly been unloaded from the car till the carriers were dispatched to the resident portion of the city, and a swarm of bright youngsters were dispensing the mag nificent Jubilee Edition on the business thoroughfares. The achievement of the management was applauded, but creat- ed no great surprise, as The Call for several years past has been considered the champion of this section, and off cial recognition has several times been made for services in bringing to the public notice the industrial progress of the San Joaquin Valley. The yellow journal arrived nearly six hours later with it's very tame special, and the com parison was not without its effect upon the thinking people. Before noon the Wagon-load of extras sent in addition to the 1900 regular subscriptions had been sold, and this evening there is not a Call for sale at the newsstands.
 On the historical, literary and typo graphical and art work in the paper there was only one comment, and that was that it surpassed any effort ever made by progressive journal on the Pacific Coast. All the way stations profited by the time made on the spe- cial, and tonight The Call is not only the most-read paper in the San Joa- quin Valley. but a journal whose senti- ments elicit the highest commendation of all classes

 SenQerS.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 2S.-The steamer Oregon sailed for Alaska tonight with 450 passengers and 250 tons of general merchandise and baggage. Fifty head of live stock was also part of the cargo All day long thousands of people swarmed about the steamers dock and so great was the crush tonight that ten police men were detailed to handle the crowd. No less than 300 people who applied for passage were refused, and many hundred tons of freight is lying on the dock await ing transportation to the gold fields.
 The rush to the Yukon from every port in the Northwest has begun earlier than was anticipated by the transportation companies, and every steamer that leaves Is compelled to refuse both passengers and freight. The demand for lumber in Alaska is enormous, but steamship com panies refuse to carry it, preferring to take less bulky freight, leaving the lum- Der for sailing vessels.
 SEATTLE, Jan. 23,-The steamer Ex- celsior, after a rough trip arrived here to-day from San Francisco, on her way to Skaguay, Dyea and Copper River, Alaska. From here she will take about 160 passengers. The steam schooner Noyo sailed for Alaska tonight carrying 1S0 passengers and 175 tons of freight Among the passengers were twenty-five women.

 JU6HEE EDITION
The Call Accomplished the Greatest Feat Eyer Attempted 6y San Francisco
 RewsD1Dec

WOODLAND, Jan. 23.-Without a doubt The Call accomplished the greatest feat ever attempted by a newspaper at Woodland this morning Long before the first gray streaks of coming dawn were visible in the east ern horizon and ere they had awakened from their peaceful slumbers the sub- scribers of The Call were served with copy of the paper that they might read and enjoy the news of the day and the tales of the glorious States early pioneers.
 The special train bearing the Golden Jubilee Edition was met at Davisville. through which place 1t passed with lightning like rapidity. an before the startled inhabitants living near the depot could realize what had happened the papers were being delivered by the local agent and those destined for the patrons at Woodland were well on the way. The early morning train for San Francisco bearing hundreds of people to the great celebration was intercept- ed at the Woodland depot, where the newsboys soon reaped a rich harvest from the passengers who could hardly realize that 1t was possible for a paper published nearly hundred miles away to be on sale before even the local pa per was off the press and many were the compliments paid The Call for its enterprise in issuing such a paper.
 Every one who has seen a copy is loud in praise and in fact, it is al- most the talk of the city. Everywhere one goes the bright cover of The Call is to be seen and behind it the beaming face of some interested citizen. Sue cess to The Call is every ones wish in Woodland.

Movement Stnrted for the Erection of a Monument to the Old Towns First
 Settlers.

MONTEREY, Jan. 23.-A movement to httingly honor the memory or departed California pioneers has been started among the Monterey pioneers, having been suggested by the Golden Jubilee about to open in San Francisco. Some Of the men foremost in the making or California's history are, or were, resi- dents of Monterey, and the townspeople now feel that in neglecting proper honors to those who are dead they have omitted a duty the performance of which would nave done the town great credit The plans on which the new idea is to be car red out are not yet formulated and no deflnite organization has been expected, but already the talk has had substantial results, and the grave of Pioneer Jack swan, the most recently deceased of the Monterey band, has been honored with neat headstone
 John A Swan, or Juan Choppo," as the spanish people nicknamed him be- cause of his diminutive stature, came to Monterey in 1S43 and so was one of the earliest pioneers. Being a native of Eng lana and British subject, he took no active part in the forming of California Statehood, but when she became a State ne became a naturalized American citi- zen and was always thereafter an active ana patriotic member of the new com monWealth Not having grown wealthy with the States growth, as so many Cali Iorhla pioneers have done he, in his last days, became dependent on the State for support, and weakened in mind and body Qled at the county hospital on January b, lSS6, at the age of 79 years. All the Swan.
 Francis Doud Sr., a pioneer of the early AUS, and James B. Snively, both of whom are among Monterey's most prominent cluzens, have borne the expense of fenc- Ing and otherwise improving the plat of ground that surrounds the grave of Swan ana nave also, in connection with one or TWO others, erected the headstone which bears the name, age, etc, of the dead pioneer.
 It Is believed that a permanent mem orlal Organization will soon be effected, with the surviving pioneers at its head.

There is not the least 2 bit of doubt in my mind but that Q it will be. I hope that the com . ing generation will be as vigor- 1, Q ous in the next fifty years as O those of the past half century. Q The proposed rush to Klondike Q reminds me of the rush to the } . gold fields of California, except . that we had much more to rush ; Q for in those days. And then we Q had climate, productive soil and Q the prospect of permanent . homes. Seekers of gold in the . far North will get what they . can as quickly as they can and Q then hurry away. It was not . so in the days of '49" Califor- . mia proved attractive and of the . thousands who came many re- . mained. California's future is q bright. It all depends upon her
