OVERLAP TRACT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.-The Gov
eminent Land Office here is besieged by
a large crowd Of people who desire to
file on land recently lapsed to the
United States under a decision Of the
Federal court in this city. This land,
which comprises over 100000 acres, a
great portion Of which is heavily COW
cred by timber, extends for five miles
on each side of the branch line of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, paralleling
it for a distance of thirty miles and
running from a point on the Los Ange-
les County line into Riverside County.
The land is designated as the South
ern Pacific overlapped branch line
land" The railways title thereto was
found to conflict with a prior grant to
the Atlantic ar Pacific. 1t is expected
that a great many conflicts will arise
between rival claimants. The pur-
chaser from the Southern Pacific Rail-
road will, however, receive protection
at the hands of the United States under
the act of March 8, 1887.
Late this evening over 200 men were
in line waiting to file their applications
for land upon the opening of the office
at o'clock tomorrow morning. and it
is expected that the number will be in
creased to at least 500 before that hour
1t is strongly suspected that the rail-
road company has employed a large
number of men to take up a great por-
ton of the most desirable land. Many
of the men IN line are being relieved in
relays every four or five hours by
others who come, apparently, in charge
of parties known to be identified with
the railroad interests The officers of
the land Office will, they say, use every
effort on their part to prevent fraud
and IRE prepared to put each applicant
through searching examination before
filing his papers.

SPANISH STATESMEN
DISCUSS PEACE TREATY
Secret Session Of the Chambers to
Draft Law to Renounce Sow
ereigntv Over Colonies

MADRID, Sept. 5.-The Chambers as
sembled here to-day. At the opening Of
the Senate the Secretary read letter
from Senior Rodriguez, Senator from
Porto Rico, refusing to obey the summons
to attend
The Premier, Senior Sagasta, arrayed in
the insignia of his office, assembled the
tribune and read a decree authorizing
the Government to present to the Cham
Der a draft of law empowering the
Ministers to renounce sovereignty over
the colonies, in conformity with the stip-
ulatons of the peace preliminaries be-
tween the United States and Spain. The
President of the Senate proposed a secret
discussion of the decree, and despite the
protests Of some Senators, ordered that
the galleries be cleared. This was done,
amid loud murmurs of disapproval
Those who had expected sensational
scenes on the reopening of the Chambers
were disappointed. The general public
seems indifferent. The people at large are
apparently convinced that Spain must ac-
cede to whatever the United States de-
mandS.

FAIR CAMPERS
UNDER ARREST
Plight of Two Fresno
Young Ladies.
IN A CONSTABLE'S CHARGE
ACCUSED OF HAVING CAUSED A
FOREST FIRE.
CareIessness of Themselves and a
Gentleman Said to Have Re
suited in the Destruction
of Property.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Sept. 5.-Walter Church,
son of George E. Church, prominent
attorney, and two Of his lady friends
Miss Albertson and Miss Mollie Jolly
who had been camping near Sampson
Flats in MADEIRA County, will have to
answer to a charge of having caused
forest fire and the destruction of con-
siderable property. The trio were ar
rested in this city this morning by
Constable Bigelow of O'Neals, upon
complaint sworn out by farmer named
McCape, whose property was destroyed.
The young people had been camping,
Miss Albertson's aunt being with them
up to several days ago as chaperon for
the young ladies. The three extended
their stay after her departure, how
ever, and did not return until Saturday
morning. The following day an officer
arrived with a warrant for their arrest
and they were greatly surprised. The
young ladies in particular were loud
in their protests, which were of no avail
with the constable This morning they
were taken to O'Neals by the officer.
Just before leaving their camp they
built fire to cook their breakfast and
it is alleged that they carelessly left it
burning. The adjacent brush caught
and soon the fire was raging in the
timber lands. After a great deal of
hard fighting it was extinguished.
great many similar fires have been
started this year by the carelessness
of campers and the residents of the
vicinity are determined to make an eX-
ample of the trio arrested to-day. The
circumstances are such as give the
young man and his lady friends a great
deal of anxiety and unpleasant promi-

CHAPLAIN M'INTYRE
TO BE COURT MARTIALED
For His Talk He Is Charged With
Conduct Unbecoming an
Officer.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Ever since the
printed reports of the sensational utter
ances Of the naval chaplain, Joseph P
Mcintyre, reached the Navy Department,
the officials have been making quiet in
quiry into the accuracy of the newspaper
publications. The chaplain, who was at
tached to the Oregon and was on board
when the battle of July was fought,
was accredited with some savage criti-
cism Of Admiral Sampson. Captain Evans
and various other officers of the Ameri-
can fleet, insisting that to the officers and
men of the Oregon alone belonged the
victory achieved over the Spanish squad
ron. He was particularly severe on Cap
tain Evans, whom he charged with cow
ardice.
Apparently the Navy Department has
now satisfied itself that the chaplain
really uttered the language ascribed to
him, for 1t has ordered his trial by court
martial on charges of conduct tending to
the prejudice of good order and discipline
and conduct unbecoming an officer The
chaplain is now on leave of absence In
Denver.

DEMANDS THAT HE
BE TRIED FOR MURDER
Unusual Request Of Negro Whom
the Officials of Napa Re-
fuse to Arrest.

NAPA, Sept 5.-John Clemens, the ne
gro accused of murder by A. F. Allen on
the latters deathbed, is at large. The
officers refused to arrest him, because
they could not get sufficient corrobora-
ton to Aliens statement. Clemens now
demands to be arrested and tried for
murder He says he is innocent and can
prove it, but unless he is given the OPP
iieve he was guilty. He says he is going
to call on Judge Ham of the Superior
Court tomorrow and have him order his
arrest. He will also demand of the Dis
trict Attorney that he be prosecuted.
The officers have apparently abandoned
the search for the murderer-for that AL
len. was murdered almost every one be-
lieves, relying principally upon the con-
illusions of the doctors.

SNUG LITTLE SUMS FOR
DEWEY AND SAMPSON
What They and Their Subordinates
Will Get for Destroying the
Spanish Fleets.


NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: From the
official report of Admiral Montejo.
commanding the Spanish fleet sunk at
Manila, there were 1875 persons on
board the ships under his command.
The Spanish fleet was of inferior force
to the American squadron, and Rear
Admiral Dewey's men will therefore
only get 800 for each person.
1t is estimated that the aggregate
amount due the Asiatic fleet as a result
of the destruction of the Spanish force
amounts to $1S7, 500, which Congress will
be asked to appropriate during the
coming session. One-twentieth of this
sum belongs to Rear Admiral Dewey,
as COMMUNICATIVE chief, and he will
therefore be $9375 richer than he was
before the war.
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized
snug little fortune as a result of the
war. AS COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
North Atlantic fleet he will get one
twentieth of every prize taken in North
Atlantic waters and one-twentieth of
the head money allowed for vessels de-
stroyed off Santiago and in Cuban
ports. 1t Is estimated that he will
finally receive about $4,000 as his share
of the prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due the officers and men it will
be necessary for the department to de-
eide whether the vessels destroyed were
inferior or superior to their antago-
nists. If the latter, the Americans will
be entitled to 5000 for each person on
board the enemy's vessels. Of course,
this will swell the amount OF prize
money due the rear admiral
It is estimated that, including the
Mercedes. sunk by the Massachusetts
at the mouth of the harbor of SAINT
tiago, there were 2492 persons on board
Admiral SIMPSONS command, which
was superior to the enemy, and the
amount of head money due the fleet will
consequently aggregate s249,200.

WHEAT CROP OF THE COUNTRY.

NEW YORK, Sept 5-The wheat crop of
1895 is not quite up to promise, according to
the report of the American Agriculturist which
appears in the issue of September l. This says
that in few States 1t appears the prom
Use of wheat not fulfilled in actual grain
by what must seem like large margin, while
in a number of States the rate of yield was
even greater than indicated on July /. But
with full allowance for all disappointment the
fact remains that the crop this year is the
largest record.
The reported rate of yield in winter wheat
is las bushels and in spring wheat 1874 BUSH
els. The final crop result will appear next
month, but the American Agricuturst says
rate of yield indicated shall be maintained the
total reduction of winter wheat will be rather
under 400, 000 coo bushels and spring wheat fully

Mr.. AND MRS. ALGER
CALL ON Mr.. SHERMAN
1t Is Said That the Secretary of War
Is Trying to Stop the Ex-
SecretarY's Talk.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald says: Both
Secretary Alger and former Secretary
Sherman protest that there is no i'll feel
ing between them on account of General
Miles, and they still maintain cordial
personal relations, as was illustrated by
Secretary and Mrs. Alger making a social
call on Mr.. Sherman this morning.
The fact that Secretary Alger had
called on Mr.. Sherman became generally
known in Washington tonight, and was
the subject of much discussion. 1t was
interpreted in some quarters to signify
that Secretary Alger wanted to placate
Mr.. Sherman, and visited him for the pur-
pose of inducing him to abstain from any
further criticism of the administration
and the War Department. l have good
authority for the statement, however,
that there was little if any discussion of
War Department matters.

NEW YORK, Sept 5.-Colonel Andrew

Forty years ago he combined politics with
his other pursuits, and welded power in
influential circles. In 1S49 Sheehan has
tened to the mining fields where for a
time he deftly converted to his pockets
the virgin gold which miners dug from
the earth. He invested his winnings in
Bling houses in that cfV and h Ave g
accumulated big fortune. At one time
he owned an entire block of business
buildings in San Francisco, and was re-
Pacific Slope. He was generous to a
fault, and his money went from him. He
gave 1T away, and though with changed
times he could not get hold of big sums
as Of old, his liberality was part Of him
to the finish, and he died comparatively
