Special Dispatch to The Call.

i. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.--Despite re-
ports to the contrary no conclusion has
been reached by the High Joint Com
mission for giving Canada a seaport or
right of way on or from the Alaskan
seacoast to the Canadian Alaskan bor-
der line. Numerous kilograms have
been sent here to the members of the
commission and to others citing reports
that this Government might agree to
such a step and protesting against any
such action.
The question whether the Senate
would ratify treaty Incorporating a
provision for giving over any portion
our territory, save as involved in the
straightening out of the boundary line
Is giving rise TO no end of discussion.

vanced post in the American line,
fully ten miles from the base of
supplies. 1t has an almost per-
feet position. Four guns of the
Utah artillery stationed on a hill
behind the water works COM
mand the valley to the right and
left and the foothills in front.
Two companies of the Colorado
regiment support the Twenty
third Infantry, which is en-
camped at the reservoir three
miles to the rear. Outposts line
the ridge overlooking the valley,
while a sand bag entrenchment
with gun emplacements fronts
the river.
Yesterday the Utah Battery
dropped shells into the villages
across the river. The natives dis
appeared among the hills, the
main force retiring to the right
and the others scattering. Sub
sequently the Americans recon
noitered and found the village OF
San Pedro completely deserted.
They did not burn it and to-day
the villagers returned in small
parties, bearing bamboos to
which white flags were fastened.
They kept, however, out of
range. Later, signal fires were
lighted along the ridge on the
other side of the valley.
The American troops are in
excellent spirits and appear to
regard their experiences as a pic
mic, rather than a stern reality.

TWO TRAMPS STILL
HELD ON SUSPICION
May Not Be the Outlaws Who Fired
Upon the lone and Jack
son Stage

JACKSON, Feb. 8.-There were no
further developments to-day to connect
the two tramps arrested on suspicion
yesterday with the attempt to hold up
the lone and Jackson stage. They are
still held In Jail pending further investi-
cation. The officials are not satisfied
that they are the right persons and the
search has been prosecuted to-day with
unabated energy.
Constable Kelly and Deputy Parker
of Jackson visited the scene of the
shooting to-day. Searching among the
high rocks close to where the shooting
occurred they discovered some old
clothing and rags and an old sledge-
hammer. The latter article is deemed
important 1t has a rough handle, and
therefore is not such an implement as
could be used for blacksmithing pur-
poses. 1t Is more likely that it was
taken from a ranch. 1t weighs about
eight pounds. The officers hope to be
able to find where 1t was taken from.

ications. All is quiet along the
lines when this dispatch is filed at
noon.
Sis p. m.-The provost
guard is in absolute control of
Manila. All fears of a native up
rising in the city were dispelled
by the promptitude with which it
quelled the outbreak on Monday
evening. The streets were de-
serted last evening by 9 o'clock
and not a light was to be seen in
the native quarter.
The Filipinos, accustomed to
Spanish methods, are constantly
inquiring of the American sol
diers when the prisoners are to
be executed. They seem unable
to realize that orders have not al-
ready been issued for the execu-
ton. Indeed, headquarters is
besieged by women anxious to
plead for the lives of their rela-
tives and friends.
All is quiet at Cavite. Owing
to the lack of supplies in the ad-
jacent village of San Rogue,
Commissary Milliken has been
authorized to sell necessaries to
those able to pay for them, and
there will be a distribution of free
rations to others. The rebels, it
appears, had loopholed a church
tower in Cavite, evidently with
the purpose of occupying it with
sharpshooters.
Senor Aguillos, the Filipino
ex-Commissioner, made an unof-
fetal visit to General Otis to-
day.
Tomorrow is the first day of
the Chinese New Year, and or
ders have been issued prohibiting
fireworks.

has been resumed. General

CONVINCED BY LIQUIDS
EARNEST ARGUMENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senator Per-
kins to-day introduced an amendment to
the river and harbor bill increasing from
s1s4 900 to $214 600 the appropriation for
work on the Sacramento River under the
contract which the Secretary Of War Is
Authorized to make for carrying out the
projected improvement.
The Senate Committee on Commerce is
giving hearings to Senators who have
proposed amendments to the river and
harbor bill as it came before the House.
California items will probably remain un-
changed excepting that relating to the
Sacramento River.
Congressman Burton, chairman of the
House Committee on Rivers and HarborS,
speaking of the appropriation for the re-
moval of Arch and Shag rocks, for which
his bill makes provision, said:
This item would not have been placed
in the bill but for the prompt action of
Mr.. Loud. The committee had discussed
the advisability of making the appropria-
ton, and had voted not to make 1t, when
it was decided, as matter of courtesy,
to call in Mr. Loud. His statement to the
committee was so clear and convincing.
showing the absolute necessity for this
Improvement that the committee revised
its action and placed the appropriation
in the bill. l had been strongly opposed
to the whole business, but Mr.. Loud
changed my mind and the minds of the
committee by his strong reasoning and
earnest presentation of the case"

unteers, fought coolly and with
perfect discipline, although with
out entertainments at the various
points, and demonstrated the
spirit which animates them. The
Filipinos, who are accustomed to
fight in trenches, and with guer-
rilla methods, also fought brave
ly, but with less precision and
regularity
The situation to-day is prac-
tically unchanged. The Ameri-
can line has not been appreciably
extended and the troops gener-
ally are taking much needed
rest. Reconnaissance show that
the Filipinos are in force in the
villages of Pasig and Paranaque,

latter place, within strong forti-

Close Call.
DISASTER NEAR YOKOHAMA
CRASHES INTO THE JAPANESE
WARSHIP AMAGI KAN.
Luckily the Damage Is Not Great,
Owing to Skillful Handling of
the Vessels at Close
Quarters.
Special Dispatch to rh. Call.

VICTORIA, Feb. g. - News was
brought by the Empress of China of a
collision between the Pacific Mail
steamer City of Peking and the Japa-
nese gunboat Amagi Kan, a terrible
catastrophe being narrowly averted
The Peking was bound from Yokohama
to Kobe, when she encountered the
warship, which was steering very err
ratio course. The officers Of the mail
boat, seeing the Japanese vessel COM
ing direct toward their own, ran her
astern at full speed, but they were un-
able to avoid the inevitable crash.
The Amagi Kan struck the Peking
right amidships, carrying. away a life
boat and about twenty feet of the rail
and indenting three of the plates. Luck
lily the plates were not cut through.
The blow was sliding one, thanks to
the skillful handling of the two ships
when within few yards of each other.
The WarShip did not stop at all.
For a time it was feared that the
Peking was in immediate danger, and
orders were at once given for the boats
to be got out. The shock of the col
lision brought all the passengers and
most of the crew on deck, and in a few
minutes all the boats crews were at
their stations and everything was
ready for the lowering of the boats.
The City of Peking was able, however,
to proceed on her voyage to Hong
kong, where she was repaired
The Empress Of China brings news
Of a still further misfortune which has
befallen the big freighter, Kinshis Ma
ru, out of Seattle for Japan ports. Two
days out from here on the last trip (she
left on December 2S) she experienced
a gale, with mountainous seas. While
the crew was engaged in securing the
matches five men were swept overheard
and drowned. Heavy seas carried away
a good portion of the ships bulwarks
and companion ways.
News comes from Kobe that five sail
ing vessels foundered during the gale
on January %.

TOUCHED THE JUDGES HEART.
Aged ex-Convict Escapes With a
Light Sentence.

WOODLAND, Feb. 8-George Ross,
an old man past so years of age, was
given shelter by Mrs. Milton Enyart
Monday night. He disappeared during
the night, taking with him a set of
harness, which he sold. He was ap-
pretended at Blacks and brought back
to Woodland. He waived time, pleaded
guilty, asking leniency on the ground
that he was hungry, had no money and
could not obtain employment. In view
of these extenuating circumstances the
court sentenced the old man to thirty
days in the County Jail
Deputy Sheriff Hughes was at one
time general overseer at Folsom State
Prison. When he went to lock up the
prisoners in their cells he recognized
Ross as an eX-convict, who was re-
leased about three years ago and who
has served more than one term on con-
viction of burglary. His real name is
Dc Witt Lynn. He is now congratu-
lating himself upon having received
such a light sentence before the fact
of his prior convictions became known.

General Ovenshine's brigade,
the Fourth Cavalry, Fourteenth
Infantry and First North Dakota

lily. The First Washington In

and the North Dakotans are
strung out from blockhouse No.

southwest of the Malate fort
where the Fourteenth Infantry is
quartered. A few native houses
from which shots have been fired
were burned, but most of the
others are either vacant or
marked with white flags.
The enemy is obviously con-
centrated at Paranaque. General

the First California Infantry,
First Idaho Infantry, First Wy

ROME, Feb. S-Archbishop Ireland
is the man of the hour. Everybody is
talking Of him. Last Wednesday he
was received by the Pope. The inter
view lasted nearly an hour. Up to the
present Mgr. Ireland has declined to
be interviewed, therefore anything re-
ported as having taken place or as
having been said during the reception
is pure imagination.
The Hotel Bristol, where Mgr. Ire
land is stopping, is besieged by le-
gion of reporters and correspondents,
whose one effort is to ascertain whether
Americanism is triumphing and whether
the Pope approves or condemns the
lofty, bold, liberal ideas of the Arch
bishop.
Another question is whether Mgr.
Ireland will represent America at the
disarmament conference. II we may
believe persons usually well informed
nothing positive can he said on the sub
ject for some time.
What reporters and correspondents
have not been able to learn from the
mouth Of Archbishop Ireland the Her
aid has succeeded in ascertaining.
This" said a man in a position to
know, "is the truth. All reports from
Rome and elsewhere about the alleged
discomfort of the Vatican with Arcn-
bishop Ireland and all things related
as to a summons from the Pope to come
to Rome and explain his conduct have
proved absolutely groundless. They
were inspired by his adversaries. Mgr.
Ireland came to Rome entirely or mis-
own volition, and In doing so has gwen
the greatest pleasure to the Holy See.
He has been received most cordially by
the Pope, the Cardinal Secretary or
State, the Cardinal Prefect OF the
Propaganda and other dignitaries-
What has been said at these audiences
is not known.
"The Archbishop refuses to speak on
the subject, but it is made manifest IN
many ways that he is persona gratls-
sima to the church authorities, and the
Pope is disgusted and distressed at the
violent attacks made as soon as MS
voyage to Rome became known.
