4 Biz Bargain in Islands.
Editor.

Congressman Meyer of Louisiana, and Congressman Livingston of Georgia. are American sponsors for great island swap ping scheme. They propose to swap with or without the consent of the governed, the two thousand islands of the Philippines for the two hundred islands, more or less of the British West Indies. The scheme looks well on paper, but how It would look in the British foreign office, or in Jamaica CT Nassau, no one exactly knows. A good many parties would have to be consulted, and several days will doubtless elapse be- fore the proposed exchange is carried out.
 The proposed exchange would not be one sided at all The area of the Philippines population about eight millions, but the square miles are on the other side of the globe, and the population consists of Ma lays, Chinese, and what not, none of whom would make good Jeffersonian democrats or even average Hannatic republicans. On the other hand the British possessions in the West Indies consist of Jamaica and it's dependencies, the Leeward islands, the Windward islands, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago. If these islands should pass into the hands of Uncle Sam he would practical ly own the entire sweep of islands sur rounding the outside bounds of the Carib- bean sea from Yucatan channel to the South American coast, except Hayti, which he would dominate. The Danes do own, it one, but practically the West Indies would become American by the proposed transfer. The British islands are thus listed:

KANG BLAMES THE
OOWAGER EMPRESS
Cause of China's Sad
Condition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


VICTORIA, B. c., April S-Kang Yu
Wei, the Chinese refugee statesman,
who arrived here last night, spent the
day in addressing assemblies of his
fellow countrymen and detailing to
them the reasons which led to his over
throw and the present crisis In China
Kang does not understand a word of
English. This is his first journey from
China. In an interview to-day he said
the object of his visit to London was to
lay before the Foreign Office the un-
happy state of affairs in his native
land and endeavor to enlist English aid
in freeing the Empress Dowager from
her strange infatuation for the Rus
sians
Kang is still a young man not over
forty years of age. He says he has
been a close student of the history of
all nations and frequently drew the
attention of the deposed Emperor to
the fact that those nations which
adopted modern methods forged ahead.
while those which did not retrograded
He is accompanied by a private sec
retary and by a representative of the
Japanese Government, who is accred-
tied to present him at European courts,
as the Chinese consular service has
been instructed to ignore him. He says
that during the regime of the late EN-
peror he succeeded in obtaining large
grants Of money, sufficient to put the
navy in a fair condition, but the EN-
press Dowager spent these sums on
beautifying her garden.
Addressing his countrymen, Kang
said that it was at his instance that
the Emperor granted Wei-Hai- Wei to
Great Britain in order to check Rus
sia's advance in China. He believes of
ficialism may retard the development
for few years, but in the end moth
ing can prevent China becoming a
great nation. He intends to visit all
countries Of Europe, with the exception
of Russia, which he hates.

DISASTER AT VIRGINIA CITY
NARROW ESCAPE OF MANY
SICK PERSONS.
Joseph Rich, After Having Been Res
cued, Loses His Life in an At
tempt to Save His Per-
sonal Effects.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VIRGINIA CITY, April s.-The
County Hospital was destroyed by fire
at l o'clock this morning, and one man
perished in the flames. The unfortun-
ate was Joseph Rich. When the fire
was discovered he escaped from the
building, but 1t is supposed that he
returned to save some of his personal
effects and was overcome by the smoke
and flames. He was not missed. and
until his body, burned to a crisp, was
found in the ruins this afternoon 1t
was believed that all of the inmates OF
the building had escaped.
The hospital is about a mile from
town, and when the Fire Department
arrived the two-stOry wooden building
was a seething furnace, the flames
shooting hundreds Of feet into the air.
There We're thirty-hVe patients at the
institution, and il was with dlthculty
that all but Rich were saved. several
are feeble-minded, and Steward Eckley
was compelled to use force in getting
them out. as they refused 10 lend as
sistance and endeaVored to get back
into the building.
There were many narrow escapes, and
q number of the patients saved only
the clothing they had on their backs.
Shortly after the flames were discov-
cred an explosion occurred which scat
tered fire through the building and
knocked down several persons on the
outside. seriously injuring James
Mathews and burning Annie Nelson
about the face and hands.
The Sisters Convent, which has been
closed for some time, was thrown open
for the reception of hospital patients,
and they were given temporary shelter

THREE THOUSAND
CARS ORDERED
New Rolling Stock for
the Southern Pacific.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, April 8.-The South
ern Pacific Company is preparing for
what 1t evidently believes will be the
most prosperous year in the matter of
freight traffic it has ever experienced.
Orders have been placed with Eastern
manufacturers for the construction of
no less than 5000 additional cars and
thirty-six new locomotives. The first
consignment of the cars is already be
ginning to reach here and some of the
locomotives are being put together in
Los Angeles.
The merchants of Sacramento assert
that there can be no surer indication
of the approach of a season of remark
able prosperity than the act of the rail-
road company in placing such an i'm
mense order for cars and locomotives.
From all localities in Northern CalifOr-
MIA come reports of the prospective
enormous yield in both cereals and
fruit, and the railroad company is los
ing no time in making preparations for
the coming demand upon it's transpor
tation facilities. All of the departments
at the railroad shops in this city, which
employ nearly 5000 mechanics, are in
full blast, and it was said to-day that
it may not be long before the hours of
labor are increased.
A fire which occurred last winter de-
stroyed the car, machine shops. planning
mill and some small kindred depart
ments, but as soon as the new car
shops, now being constructed, are COM
pleted and the machinery installed,
many new cars will be built; in fact.
quite a number of cars are being con-
structed here now, despite the incOn-
venience occasioned by the fire.
The steamboats, which ply on the
Sacramento River reach one Of the
finest grain producing sections in the
country and on the river front scenes
of unusual activity are witnessed.
Steamboats, which had practically gone
out of commission are being repaired in
anticipation of the great freight bust
ness of the approaching summer, and
a large force of workmen is employed
at the railroad shops making new boil
ers and restoring the machinery for
boats owned by the Southern Pacific.
II. j. Small, superintendent of mo
tive power and machinery, said to-day
the reason why the company had
placed the large order for cars with
found itself short Of rolling stock and
could not have the necessary number
of cars produced at the Sacramento
plant because of the destruction of the
planning mill and car machine shop by
fire This loss will soon be made good
and IL is believed that this summer will
witness great activity in all the de-
partments of the shop system.

MOORE
SAID TO HAVE BEEN
SEEN NEAR CHICO
Nevada County's Sheriff Goes
to Join in the Pursuit Of
a Suspect.

NEVADA CITY, April SD Moore,
murderer and outlaw, still def1es pur-
suit and the longer he remains at large
the bigger grows the list of ranchers,
miners. teamsters, woodchoppers and
tramps who report having seen the des-
perado at nearly every point in this vi
cinity. Every day reports are tele-
phoned or telegraphed to the Sheriff's
offices here from different places of this
and adjoining counties, detailing the
discovery Of men answering Moore's
description. Invariably the suspect is
deaf and carries an ear trumpet and
a rife and a shotgun. If these reports
be true, then 1t is safe to say that there
are more deaf men armed with a rifle
and a shotgun roaming about this
county than there are in all the rest
of the State. While these reports are
given the dignity Of an investigation,
there are not ten men in the county
who believe Moore has succeeded in
getting across any of the four bounda-
ries of the county.
Shortly after noon to-day Deputy
Sheriff Goe Of Butte County notified
Under Sheriff Pascoe that q man an
swering Moore's description was seen
about IL o'clock yesterday morning on
a ranch a mile or so from Chico, and
that the county peace officers were in
hot pursuit. Sheriff Getchell. who was
in Stockton shadowing the suspect
there, was notified at once and he took
the train for Chico Immediately to as
sist the officers there In the pursuit.
The authorities here believe the story
from Chico is quite plausible, for the
reason that Moore could have reached
that vicinity easily without being de-
teCted. 1t is a little less than a 100
mile journey to Chico from North San
Juan, where Moore was believed to
have been seen on Wednesday morn
ing by Ditch Tender Fogarty. The
route lies through a sparsely settled,
wooded country, and Moore knows ev-
cry inch of the road, having prospected
and hunted in that vicinity for the last
twenty years.
The rancher who reported having
seen a man answering MoOre's descrip-
tiOn says that shortly before noon yes
terday the stranger came to his ranch
and wanted to buy some eggs and pO-
tatoes. The owner of the ranch was in
town at the time and the man in
charge, having no authority to make
sales, gave the suspect a few eggs and
a few potatoes for nothing. While
talking to the rancher the stranger,
who was tall. dark man, clad in blue
overalls, held his hand on his pistol
pocket, as if he was grasping weapon

secreted there. The rancher believes
the man he provisioned was Moore. He
had studied the portrait of the fugitive
which was reproduced in The Call and
recognized a striking likeness.
At the outset of Moores flight the
peace officers of Butte County ad-
vanced the theory that he would at
tempt to travel through Butte County
on his road to freedom and they have
maintained a vigilant watch for the
fleeing fugitive 1t was brought to
light to-day that Moore has an uncle
living somewhere on the Humboldt
River in Nevada, and word was imme-
diately sent to the Sheriff of Humboldt
County to locate Moores relatives and
keep him under surveillance. This step
was taken simply as a precautionary
measure to insure Moores capture
should he attempt to seek refuge or
monetary assistance from that source.
Marshal TOmpkins received word last
evening from Brownsville to the eff
feet that tall, dark stranger, answer
ing the description of the fugitive,
morning on his way westward. A
particularly, said he had a scar on his
right wrist Moore is known to have
received such a scar some years ago
while working in one of the mines here.
The authorities here are fatigued by
their endless pursuit and are waiting
for another live clew to develop be-
fore they again take up the hunt. All
express a profound hope and belief that
the $500 reward will be the means or
bringing the fugitive in before many
more days shall have passed.

A man must reap as he sows. If he sows

NEW YORK, April S.-The seven
members of the Mazet legislative inves-

prying into the records of the Police

After several minor witnesses had
been called a number of them failing to

his testimony was the most important
of the day, as it signified the launching
of the attack upon the Ploice Depart

was a charge against him when he was
made Chief in February, 1897. The
Chief was compelled to admit that the
charge had been held up, and then said
he had never been required to pass a
