CHIEF MOSES CALLED
BEFORE THE MANIT0U
Sachem of the Colville Reservation
Indians Enters the Happy
Hunting Grounds.

SEATTLE, March 31-News was re-
ceived this evening from Eastern Wash
ington of the death of Chief Moses, one
of the Oldest and best known Indians of
the Pacific Northwest He was head
chief of all the Indians in the Colville
reservation, about 2OOO, including his
band of Columbias, the Okanogans,
Lakes, Colvilles, Mes Pelims and San
Polls He lived near the Mes Pelim
subagency, about three miles from Jo-
sephs place. He was quite well off in
land and stock, and for several years
has been drawing an anuity of $1,000
from the Government.
Moses was Is or so years of age. He
came of lighting stock. His father was
killed in an Indian war in Montana, and
he was on the warpath in that State and
was repeatedly wounded in battle. Later
he was in the Indian battles on the Co
lumbia River. west of Spokane
. Moses remained at peace. though, dur
ing the Nez Perce war. He was urged
by Joseph to join forces with him. but
refused. He has since said that he wa
vered, but finally decided to remain at
peace with the whites.
Moses was d large man, and when in
health weighed 240 pounds. He had a
remarkably well-shaped head. He had
one daughter. His only son was drowned
a few years ago in the rapids of the CO.
lumbia, near Spokane.

tempt to communicate with the depart
ment between the time of the sending
of the telegram dated Sydney. March
16, and the one received yesterday from
Auckland, the 29th, which probably left
Apia on the 23d. 1t is now considered
to be almost certain that the Admiral's S
reference to the telegram of the 18th
via Sydney referred to a telegram for
Warded from Apia on the 18th.
If this proves to be the case, the tele-
gram Of the 1Sth which has not been
received, doubtless contained the de-
tails of the decision of the Consuls
aboard the Philadelphia, the subse-
quent ultimatum to Mataafa and his
followers and the account of the three
days bombardment before the dispatch
was sent. In the light of the existence
of such. dispatch, the brief cable of
yesterday can be intelligently read. 1t
would then simply mean that the sit
uation had improved during the interim
between the 18th and the 23d, all the
preliminary facts presumably being al
ready in the hands of the department
here The distance from Apia to Sgd
ney is greater than that from Apia to
Auckland
According to the information in the
hands of the Bureau of Navigation the
time taken by steamers in plying be-
tween the two former points is thirteen
days while steamers make the distance
from Apia to Auckland in ten days.
According to the regular sailing time
of steamers between Apia and Sydney
(thirteen days., if Rear Admiral Kautz
had forwarded a telegram on the 18th
via Sydney the dispatch would not
have arrived at Sydney until to-
day at the earliest, so that with this
explanation the non-arrival of the
missing dispatch of the 18th, via Sgd
ney, is satisfactorily accounted for
If the steamer is on time and the new
explanation of the department proves
to be correct, this dispatch should ar
rive to-day, or certainly within a few
days. if, as possible, the steamer bear
ing it may have encountered rough
weather on her voyage.

SALE OF THREE
SUGAR FACTORIES
Characterization Plants
Change Owners.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, March 31.-The Ok
nard-Hamilton beet sugar properties,
which include factories at Chino, Huen-
eme and Grand Island, Nebraska, have
been sold to a new corporation just or
ganized under the laws of New Jersey.
Henry Oxnard admitted the fact to-day.
The three factories have been the prop
erty of. Henry and James Oxnard ard
James G. Hamilton, a New Yorker The
price paid for the two California facto-
ries could not be learned. Experts place
the figures at $1,500 900 for each plant,
an amount based on the earning capacity
of each. The identity of the purchasers
is not disclosed. The new company has
been capitalized at $1,000, 900.
The Clark factory at Los AlamitoS rs
not included in the deal. 1t is said by
j. Ross Clark that Senator Clark would
not part with his beet sugar holdings for
the amount that any person or syndicate
could afford TO pay. The Los Alamitos
factory represents an investment of
81 600 000 He does not care to unload.
He placed his. money not for speculation.
but as a legitimate. Investment. and. is
satisfied with the returns.
The indications are that the beet lands
of this section will net a two-thirds yield.
Upon this basis the Chino factory will
handle 66 600 tons, the .Hueneme 70 900 and
the Los Alamitos $4,000. This yield means
S4 to the grower for every ton handled.
The length Of the season at the three
Southern California factories is usually
120 days. Upon a basis of a two-thirds
crop the season this year will last eighty
days.
The Clark factory will turn out up
proximately eighty tons of refined white
sugar. daily, or a trainload for the market
each twentyfour hours.

VOLUNTEERS RETAINED
IN THE PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, March Sit was
stated at the War Department to-day
that the provision of the army law al
lowing the retention in service for six
months of the volunteers in the Philip
pines has been construed to mean the
officers as well as the men, and that the
volunteer organizations would be re-
tanned just as they now exist General
Otis was given large plenary pow
ers in the matter, but was in
structed by cable to send all sick and
wounded home, as we'll as volunteers
who had exceptional reasons why they
should return home, such as the sup
port of families and the loss of prop
erty by reason of their absence. Gen
eral Otis will decide such questions on
their merits. The volunteers in the
Philippines will not be mustered out
until they can be spared and the pres
ence there of these organizations, the
War Department believes, makes it un-
necessary to organize the provisional
army of $4,000 allowed under the army
law.

SECRE TARY ALGER
IS NOT MISSED
War Department Runs
:. Well Without Him.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 31.The Her
AIDS Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: Secretary Ayers absence on
a junketing trip to Cuba at time. when
affairs in the Philippines are in crit
ical condition are not bettering his
chances of remaining in the Cabinet.
BY this it is not meant that he is
missed. AS a matter of fact, it has
been the subject of comment for some
days. that affairs in the War Depart
ment under the management of Assist
ant Secretary Meiklejohn have been
running remarkably smooth. The sue
cess with which the War, Department.
is being run during the temporary
elimination of Algerism from Its. af-
fairs has been the subject of as much
comment as has the fact that Secretary
Alger would remain away at such a
critical time.
1t can be truthfully said that the
President has not missed Secretary AL
ger On the contrary, there is reason
to believe he feels relieved, and the
positive assurance given me some time
ago can be repeated, that Mr.. McKin-
ley would be very glad to get the Sec
retary out of the Cabinet entirely with
out going to the extreme of dismissing
him. He may yet have to resort to this
extreme, however as Secretary Alg ~
has repeatedly said he would not retire
under fire.
That he must go is the unanimous
verdict of all the party leaders, who
continue to impress upon the President
the Importance of adopting drastic
measures at an early date to rid him
self of Algerism, and thus spare the
party from carrying the weight of the
War Department scandals through the
next campaign.
For the President to hold on to him
much longer now that his maladmin-
istration has been brought out in such
strong light, would be equivalent to ac-
cepting the responsibility for his ac-
tions, and would justify the denomina-
tion of his methods as McKinleyisni
rather than as Algerism.
There are many here who believe that
Mr.. Ayers Cuban junket will end his
career as Secretary of War. 1t is inn
possible, however, to get any authori-
tative announcement to this effect.

Information on Samoan and other Pa
c1fic island subjects as well as a man
of political influence. The United States
and British Commissioners, it is under
stood, would be drawn from the same
high ranks, with a view, however to
their information on international mat
ters of this character rather than their
present standing.
AS showing that the acute phase of the
Samoan question is past Baron Speck
Won Sternberg, First Secretary of Ger
many, left here tonight for. New York,
don and Berlin. He has been a most
active factor throughout the Samoan
controversy, having made that question
a special study, and thus being able
to render the ambassador material as
sistance. His influence at all times has
been toward maintaining the friendly
relations between the, two countries and
overcoming the causes of irritation.
His trip to London and Berlin has no
significance whatever in connection
with Samoan affairs, but is entirely
personal after the gravity of the affair
has passed. {:
No new advices reached the depart
ments to-day regarding the Samoan
situation and the impression is gain
ing ground among the officials that
there is a missing cable from Admiral
kautZ, via Sydney, which upon its ar
rival will clear up the mystery regard
ing the brief dispatch dated Auckland
which was received yesterday In read;
ing the brief cable of yesterday, in
which Rear Admiral Kautz referred to
the improvement of the situation since
his telegram "of the 18th. via Sydney,
n. S. w" it was at first supposed that
the date given-the 1Sth-Was a mis-
take, as the only Sydney telegram re-
ceived here was dated the 18th That
telegram probably left Samoa several
days before the meeting of the Consuls
aboard the Philadelphia, and certainly
a week before the actual fighting be-
gan, which, according to the press dis
patches, commenced on the 18th.
1t is considered almost inconceivable
that Rear Admiral Kautz made no at

BUDDHIST PRIESTS
BECOME BANDITS
Terrorizing a Section of
ManChuria.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March 31.-It is reported
from Newchwang, Manchuria, that a
bold robber chief has suddenly sprung
into prominence in that section. He is
a no less parsonage than a ferocious
Llama or Buddhist priest, who formerly
practically ruled the fierce tribe of Man
churians living in the mountains in the
interior of Manchuria. Finding that the
practice of his profession as a priest did
not bring him much worldly goods this
llama gradually turned bandit and has
now surrounded himself with band of
hardened deSperadoeS, which Is said to
consist principally of former Buddhist
priests. These priests have been through
coming finally to the conclusion that a
career of pillage and crime is more remu-
nerative than the conversion of Man
churians to the Buddhist religion.
The correspondent of the North China
Daily News writes to Shanghai that
marauders. but have so far accomplished
nothing The bandits are mounted on
hardy and fleet ponies and are well
equipped with Winchesters and other
suit. They have the advantage of know
ing the roads in every direction, as we'll
as many mountain Businesses, where they
can take refuge when closely pursued.
In the neighborhood OF their former
homes they commit no depredations, but
a matter of self-protection. Outside
of this district they burn and pillage at
will, in some instances adding murder TO
their misdeeds. Such is the terror in
which this Buddhist chieftain is regarded
by the villagers between Newchwang
and Lao Yung that mothers quiet their
refractory children by telling them that
the Llama rQbber is coming.

STARVATION FOR
SECTION MEN
Southern Pacific Makes
a Big Reduction.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, March 91.-The Southern
Pacific Company has trouble on its hands
on the mountain division of the Shasta
route. An order goes into effect to-mor-
row materially reducing the wages of all
the section gangs. 1t is not a direct cut
at the wage scale, but reduction in
hours, with a corresponding effect in
wages. Section men have heretofore re-
ceived 16 cents an hour for ten hours
work. Under the new scale the men will
be given but eight hours a day and five
days a week. The men all declare they
will not submit to the reduction. 1t is not
expected their action will constitute what
may be called a strike, but they will re-
fuse to work and seek other employment.
The company will have no little difficulty
in filing the vacant places with reliable
White laborerS, and 1t is possible that Chi
neSe may again make their appearance in
the section gangs on the Shasta route.
The policy pursued by the company for
over a year past has been one of the
strictest economy possible. Track walk
erS were supplanted by 'Speeders," who
could cover the beats" of several foot
men, and section gangs were cut out or
consolidated. 1t is a singular coincidence
that soon after this era of parSimony was
uShered in wreck after wreck occurred
on the SHASTA route and each from the
same cause-spreading of the rails. Rot
ten crossties were taken out, turned over
and made to do another era of duty.
Railroad crews handling the heavy
freight trains attributed the wrecks by
which their comrades were killed or
MANNED to the cutting down of track re-
pairing crews and track walkers and the
use Of worn out crossties, which should
have been replaced with new material.
1t is not expected that the men who
| have announced their intention to quit
will create any disturbance or interfere
with any laborerS, white or Chinese who
may take their places. They say they will
relinquish their jobs simply because they
cannot work and live for 81 Is a day for
! five days a week The sympathy of the
public all along the line is with the men,
