MRS, STANFORD IS

the Philippines.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Before leav-
ing New York for Washington Mrs
Stanford talked glowingIy with The
Call correspondent regarding her un-
wavering confidence in the grand future
of California.
"One really has to go away from our
beautiful State" said Mrs. Stanford,
''to learn how highly regarded 1t is.
We Californians ourselves don't seem
to be half-enough appreciative of the
great country we have the good fortune
to live in. During my sojourn in the
effete East-this region of ceaseless
business activity have heard Cali
fornia more favorably and more fire.
quently discussed than on any previous
visit. Now that the United States has
acquired those rich possessions in the
Pacific we are destined to have a big
trade with the Orient-bigger than any
of us ever contemplated. And this is
going to help US increase our trade with
other foreign countries.
But the people of California must
not assume for an instant that this
avalanche of trade will sweep toward
them of it's own accord. They must
exert themselves and cOquette a little
with our foreign friends. Californians
now have a golden opportunity. 1t re-
mains with them to take advantage of
it and make the Golden State the en-
pire State of the Pacific, as New York
is the empire State of the Atlantic
Il am certainly deeply impressed with
the magnificent future Of fair Califor-
MIA. All, what a paradise it is! And
1t makes me more and more ambitious
to develop Stanford University up to a
standard never before attained by any
similar institution

jackson attempted to turn around, but
Henry discharged his revolver, the ball
striking Jackson in the left side. The
wound lacerated the lungs and death
ensued within six minutes.
Henry went to Anacortes to surren-
der himself to the authorities. The
officers, however, refused to accept his
arrest and at last reports Henry was
still at large. Henry is a half breed
Indian and is Postmaster at Urban. 1t
is believed he will be taken into GUS
tody by tomorrow and given a trial,
which probably will result in his ac-
quittal. He has usually been little
given to provoking quarrels. Some resi-
dents of Cottonwood Island think Jack
son was the aggressor in most of their
fights and that Henry had just cause
to shoot him. Jackson has numerous
friends, however, who are very bitter
over the shooting of their companion in
what they term cold-blood. More fights
between these factions are likely to
occur.

POLITICAL FEUD
ENDS IN MURDER
Fatal Affray at Urban,
Washington.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March IA special dis
patch from Whatcom says full particu-
lars reached there to-day regarding the
killing of John Jackson by Joseph
Henry, both of Cottonwood Island, at
Urban Postofice yesterday. The mur-
der was the result of feud continuing
over several years and growing out OF
politics About a year ago two horses
belonging to Henry were shot and
Jackson was accused of the act. About
three months ago a fight occurred be-
tween Henry and Jackson and the lat
ter's friend. Henry was brutally kicked
with hobnail shoes. Henry caused
Jacksons arrest, but Jackson's friends
testified too strongly and he was re-
leased.
Yesterday morning Henry and jack
son became engaged in another fight,
in which Henry was badly whipped.
After getting away from Jackson
Henry went to his home, obtained his
revolver and returned in search of
Jackson. When Jackson saw Henry
with the revolver he started to advance
on Henry, saying he would see If Henry
had any nerve. Henry ther raised his

PORTLAND, Or, March 14-Assist-
ant Engineer A. n. Proctor, u. S. NJ,
who was in charge of the landing par
ty after the destruction of the Span
ish torpedo boats Furor and Pluton at
Santiago, was seen this evening and
gave the following statement regard
ing the identity of the body found in
the chair on the beach at Santiago:
After the sinking of the Furor and
the beaching of the Pluton 1 landed
on the beach in a cove, three-Quarters
of mile west of where the Pluton
was beached, and made my way along
to the wreck, on the way encountering
a Spanish lieutenant and a seaman,
the latter badly wounded in the right
arm and left side. We assisted the
lieutenant to another cove to the east
ward, where about twenty-five sur
Vivors of the Pluton and Furor had
collected. On reaching this cove I sent
the men back for the wounded sailor,
with a chair which had been landed by
John P. Dunning of the Associated
Press, and after waiting some time
for their return, I went up the beach
and found that the men had stopped
at the top of hill, the sailor having
died just as they reached that point. I
had the chair moved into the shade Of
the bushes and hastened to embark

PECK ARRAIGNED.

SANTA CRUZ, March H.-Ex-Tax Col
lector Willis E. Peck was arraigned this
morning on the three charges preferred
against him by the Grand Jury. The first
charge was taken UP by his attorney, c.
E. Lindsay, who moved that the indict-
ment be set aside. Peck was accused of
having, on or about June 80, 1897, in his
possession blank liquor licenses other
than those supplied by the County Audi
tor. The motion was argued pro and
to Judge Smith, who will render his de-
cision Saturday.
The second charge is that on or about
May, 1898, he did receive $500 for county
liquor licenses which he refused to pay
over to the County Treasurer. The third
charge is that on or about August, 1897,
he received S128 10 for State and county
taxes, which he refused to pay over to
the County Treasurer.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
WON'T CURE CONSUMPTION
The Slocum System Is Needed.
4 Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on Modern
Scientific Truths Is More Potent
Than Air Alone
FREE TREATMENT FOR LUNG WEAKNESS
FREE TREATMENT FOR LUNG WEAKr

IF those of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections Of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating, with dry and tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see a greater or less number Of
their friends and neighbors dying Of
consumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from
time to time amid the refreshing prai-
rie breezes of SUMMER in the fair and
mellow days of autumn, and also in
the dry and sunny seasons of a south
ern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable
surroundings afford positive and con-
vincing proof that climate alone Will
not cure consumption; that neither
pine-laden breezeS nor bracing mount
ain air will restore weak lungs or build
up a constitution that is being under
mined and broken down by the insid-
ious germs of a fatal disease.
But on the other hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful
people all over this country, who have
been cured by the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment, and are to-day in the en-
joyment of perfectly restored health
and strength, afford the most convinc-
ing evidence that this treatment, aided
by favorable climatic conditions and
surroundings, is a positive cure for
Consumption, Asthma and all other
chronic diseases of the Throat, Chest
and Lungs.
Therefore, those who go to the
mountains, the seashore or to southern
climates, as we'll as those who already
reside in such favored localities, should
not fail to take the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment if they wish to derive the

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Sec
retary of the Navy this afternoon re-
ceived the following telegram:
PORTLAND, Or, March 14.-Remains
found In chair about four miles west
of Santiago, as reported in to-days pa
Pers, not those OF Villas,mel, h but % OF !, Span
PROCTOR, Assistant Engineer.
The officer from whom this message
was received was an engineer on board
the Gloucester, which was the instru-
ment that destroyed the Inflated Plu-
ton, aboard which Admiral Villamel
started from Santiago. He was in
charge Of the landing party which went
to the succor of the Spanish sailors who
managed to reach the shore from the
sinking vessel and were being fired
upon by the Cubans. While they were
bringing this particular seaman down
to the shore to take him aboard the
Gloucester the seaman died and his re-
mains were allowed to sit in the chair
in which the body had been conveyed.
Department officials believe that Villa
mels body lies at the bottom OF the
sea.
The French Embassy has reported to
the Spanish Government and to the
members of Spanish families all avail
able particulars concerning the officers
and men lost and taken prisoners when
CerVera'S S fleet was destroyed. The en-
bassy officials do not recall that Ad-
miral Villamel's name was among those
rescued, although claims have been
made that he was received on board
one of the American auxiliary craft
and made prisoner. At the embassy it
has been understood that the admiral
was among the lost and in view of re-
ports that his remains have been found
and identified it is expected request
will be made by Spain to have the en-
bassy obtain the remains and forward
them to Spain.

MANY BALLOTS
ARE CAST OUT
Santa Clara Election
Contest Decided.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, March 14.-Judge Hyland
this morning decided the contest over
the District Attorneyship in favor OF
James H Campbell, who is at present
holding the place. The ballots of Vine
land Precinct, which the court discov-
cred had been tampered with during
the recount, were thrown out on ac-
count of fraud. This gave Campbell
majority of 10.
Judge Hyland's decision was a
lengthy one, but clear and to the point.
He denied Campbells objection to an
amended statement filed by the plain
tiff and also denied defendants motion
for nonsuit. Campbell took an eX-
ception to these rulings. The court
said there had been many irregularities
in the returns of ballots from the Ninth
Precinct of this city, and that the re-
turns were objected to. He said the
ballots We're the best evidence, and de-
MED motion to throw out the precinct.
A number of ballots from various pre-
cincts contained pencil marks, but he
was convinced these We're put on by
the election officers in tallying and
should not invalidate the votes.
Thirty-two ballots referred for deci-
sion were passed on. Eight were thrown
out. OF the remaining tWenty-four
Campbell was given twenty and Her
rington four This made the vote a tie
and gave each 5563 votes.
The Judge then took up the matter
of fraud that he has discovered in go
ing over the ballots. Campbell, he said,
had practically been counted out right
in court. An entirely different cross
was used from those in the election
booths, and on some of the ballots the
culprit had left the imprint Of his
thumb. He was satisfied the ballots
had been tampered with.
Vineland Precinct was taken up.
There five ballots had been changed
for Harrington, and Campbell had in
troduced testimony to prove the bal
lots were not so marked in the pre-
vious contest. The court threw out this
precinct and ordered that the official
canvass of the precinct be taken. The
official canvass gave Campbell 123 and
Harrington 81. This gave Campbell the
office by a majority of Is.
Campbell asked the court to take fur
ther action and see that those that
practiced fraud were punished. Judge
Hyland thought the District Attorney s
office and the Bar Association should
take up the case. The attention of the
Grand Jury will be called to the fraud.
The contest undoubtedly will be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. It has
been stubbornly contested. Judge Hy-
lands decision meets the views of most
of the people and he is highly praised
for having made such a thorough in
vestigation and detected fraud perpe-
trated on the ballots.

chase came from the commissary gen
eral in every case.
At the request of Colonel Davis the
witness produced copies of orders. He
said they were all rush orders.
The recorder read large number of
kilograms between General Eagan and

ment at Washington and Colonel Smith
with reference to the purchase of can
ned roast beef last year.

criminal trials have been infrequent here.
The only case now on the calendar is that
of o. w. Forsyth charged with forgery,
and it is not very probable that he will
allow the case to go to trial. If he does
1t will be the first criminal trial since
August, 1898. There was only one crimi-
nal trial during the year 1898. Eight in
formations were filed, but five defendants
pleaded guilty, two were discharged and
one was acquitted. This is considered a
