An uneven but fairly good market was had yester-
day. The receipts were the best for some days. and
some very trppy lambs in. and they sold we'll and
brought steady prices. Two sales Of choice medium
wooded Colorado lambs. one lot averaging 70 pounds
sold at s.. 20 and one lot averaging - pounds brought
the tame money. These prices We're thought 10 be a
shade lower than Fridays But while some statesmen
claimed that they did US we'll as the close Of last
week. others thought they had to take a little less.
However. at the prices there was very good trading.
and very few were unsolf at the close.

Captain Janson and His Men at the Mercy

San Francisco. June 9.-Captain P. jan

after having spent four days on the ocean
a. the mercy of the elements. which for
tunately were unusually calm Captain
Janson reports that on June 6, at a. m..
his vessel commenced to leak All hands
We're kept at the pumps until nearly
noon of the same day, when the water.
which had gained on the pumps, rapidly
filled the vessel causing the captain to
order his men into the small boats for
safety. The ships Instruments and a sup
ply of water and provisions We're slowed
into the little boat which Captain Janson
ordered headed for San Francisco The
sea was calm, but a haze prevented their
signal being seen by passing vessels un-
til yesterday, when the British ship Sierra
Nevada was spoken. The Britisher sup
piled the shipwrecked mariners with fresh
provisions. but Captain Janson declined
an Invita- tion to take refuge on the Ne
vada as he was only So miles from this
city. When the day broke this morning
the little boat was off the Faralon ISL

harbor and reported to the owners of the

A SCATH|NG CRITICISM
Beresford Denounces England's
Policy in China.
OPEN DOOR IS CLOSED
Proposed That the Four Powers Inter-
ested Reorganize China's Army.
Broderick Pointed Out
the Difficulties

London, June 9.-While the house of
commons was in committee of supply
on the foreign office vote to-day, Rear
Admiral Charles Beresford conserva-
tive member for York City, delivered
scathing criticism of the govern
ments policy on drifting in China,
during which he said the government
had deceived the people and allowed
the open door policy to be finally killed
by permitting Russia to interfere in a
purely commercial enterprise like the
Shanghai Kwan railroad. The admiral
then proposed that the four countries
most interested, Great Britain, the
United States, Japan and Germany, go
to China and offer to take over and
organize her army, adding that If
Great Britain took the lead he was sure
the United States would follow and he
also had a distinct intimation that
Japan would join in such a move
ment.
The parliamentary secretary of the
foreign office, the Right Hon. st. John
Broderick. replied, pointing out the diff
ficulties in meeting Lord Beresford' S
desire that Great Britain take control
of the government of China. adding
that he thought his lordship was over
sanguine in believing the United States
would follow the lead of Great Britain.
Germany, he continued. had great in
terests in China. but she had thou
sand times greater interest in Eu-
rope.
AS to treating the Yang Isl Kiang
valley like the Shan Tung peninsula,
her majesty's government was not pre-
pared to undertake the immense re-
sponsibility of governing such large
territory

FROZE HIM OUT.
A Story of the Methods Employed by the
Standard Oil Company.

Washington, June 9.-Ex-State Sena-
tor Theo. F. Davis of Ohio was the first
witness before the industrial commits
sion to-day. He is a producer and re-
finer of petroleum, located at Marietta,
and his testimony dealt with the opera
tions of the Standard Oil trust. He
complained of the determinations of
the railroad companies, saying that the
managers of some of the roads were
interested in rival companies, which
We're SO favored that his company had
been compelled to suspend business.
This discrimination was also practieed
by the pipe lines against producers not
in the combine. Outsiders were also
unable to secure fair rates from rail-
roads, witness averred. forcing the con-
clusion that the railroad companies
were concerned for the success of the
pipe lines. He said that the Standard
company had such close relations with
the railroads and so completely con-
trolled the markets as to render 1t al
most impossible for any refiner to enter
upon the manufacture of lubricants.
