California, former Collector Of TINS
port, and for forty years a, prominent
resident of this State, died to-day at
San Carlos, his suburban home in San
Mateo County The premature an
nouncement of his death yesterday was
an inadvertence.
Mr.. Phelps had been lying at the

was received from his country home
that he had passed away. He rallied
temporarily, however, and it was not
until to-day that his demise actually
occurred His death was due to the

tested for the Gubernatorfal seat, MS

Germany 100000, Peru 100000 and
Italy about 100000 gallons.
While the United States and Russia
furnish the bulk of the worlds pc
troleum, and stand almost abreast in
the quantity of crude oil produced, the
amount of refined Illuminating oil sup
piled by the United States is more than
double that produced by Russia. This

of Russian Oil produces only about
ee-eighths of it's bulk in refined IL
Eliminating oil. Sumatra, next to Rus
STA, is the most formidable competitor
of the United States, because of the
rapid growth in it's production of oil,
the fact that its crude oils produce half
the quantity in refined Illuminating oil
and the further fact that they are much
nearer to the Orient, the countries of
which form an important part Of the

A Ship Captains Costly Mistake.

PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.), June
11-Captain F'retwurst of the British
bark Natuna, which arrived at Port
Angeles this morning, has made cost :
ly mistake owing to the similarity of
namees. The Natuna sailed from Ant
werp December 22d with cargo con-
signed to w. r. Grace & Co., Port An

leaving port ON locating his destination
on the chart, picked out Port Angeles
instead of Port Los Angeles, and sailed
for that place, not realizing his mis-
take until he attempted to enter his
vessel at the custom house he found
that he had sailed about 1000 miles
north of his destination.

game at the West End Field Club, Jer-

INDIANS STARVING.
Those Living ON Upper Waters of
Stewart River in Bad Condition.

VICTORIA B. CO. June 1.-THE IN
dams living in the neighborhood of the
upper waters Of the Stewart River are
in most deplorable condition. A ter
rible famine prevails in that district,
and the unfortunate natives have al
ready been decimated for lack of food.
Conditions have been growing rapidly
worse in this respect, and three miners
who have just reached here from that
country say that the pitiful scenes en-
acted among the starving Indians beg
gar description They are now almost
entirely without food of any kind, and
are now literally perishing in all num-
bers.
SO hopeless is the situation that in a
single small Indian village no less than
thirty persons died from hunger just
previous to the departure of the pros
pectors for this port. The miners who
are authority for these statements de-
clare that unless abundant supplies are
Immediately dispatched to the relief of
these furnishing and Respondent people,
their practical determination is newt
able.
The same trio Of returning miners also
tell a shocking story of the killing of
an Indian girl by medicine man at
the instance of the chief of the tribe
to which the unfortunate maiden be-
longed. According to the story the girl
was made the victim of a savage cere-
mony directed by the medicine man I'M
der the orders of the chief. Her bar
barous death was for the purpose of
propitiating the Great Spirit who had
sent the famine, by offering up of a
living human sacrifice.
Troops will be sent to the scene of the
outrage to arrest the murderers and
bring those guilty of the crime to JUS
tice if they have not already paid the
penalty by the slower process of star

woRKMEN IN NEW YORK.
A Decided Improvement in the
Empire State.

ALBANY IN. W, June 11.-That
there is a decided improvement
throughout the State of employment in
nearly all industries, with thesexception
of the building trades, is shown by the
first quarterly bulletin just issued by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the
quarter ending March 31st.
In May the bureau made inquiries of
leading manufacturers of the State con-
corning the condition of business. Their
answers are summarized in about
twenty-five reports. Five reported an
advance of business since the 1st of
January, fourteen others reported an
increase of working force, while only
three reported a declining or STATIONARY
business. The industries most favor
ably situated were the iron and steel in
dustries, cotton goods, clothing, canned
goods. cigars and lumber.
The trades union returns show that
the number of unemployed on March
31st was 1,613, as against 1888 last
year, decrease of 7,244. The number
of unemployed during the entire quarter
was 1853, as against IS, 122 last year,
an increase of 4.551.
While the employment conditions of
1898 showed an improvement over those
of 1897, the improvement since 1898
has not been so noticeable. Improve
ment among the male workers is es-
pecially noticeable in the clothing and
iron and steel industries, and the per-
centage of idleness among employees CT
street railways on March 31st of this
year was almost reduced to naught.
A comparison of the earnings of men
and women in the entire State shows
that 69.2 per cent of them earned be-
tween 500 and 1926 during the quarter,
while 37.S per cent. earned between
$50 and 500. The number that earned
over $3.50 in the quarter equivalent to
81 a day. was insignificant On the
other hand more than one-half the mer
earned over $50 each.
