COPPER BROKERS
FEEL ACGR|EvED
Condemn Lawson for His
Stand in the Divi-
dend Deal.

BOSTON, Oct. 14.-Thomas W. Lawson's
confessed losses of 100000 in the recent
slump in copper was the topic of wide
spread discussion in financial circles here
to-day. That Lawson had been heavy
loser was known about the street long be-
for his interview was published and there
were ugly rumors as to his financial con-
dition floating about all last week. 1t was
undoubtedly due to these rumors that
Lawson consented to make a public state
ment Of what damage he had sustained
by the drop in Amalgamated, and while
to-day he stands better with the copper
speculating public, he has undoubtedly
hurt himself with the big brokers in CIV
ing away the inside of the affair.
The interview printed yesterday has
served the purpose of making Lawson
popular with the small spectators and
the tape in his office than at any time
last week. A c. Burrage, one of the
Amalgamated directors, is said to be
Lawson's greatest rival.
A prominent Boston capitalist said to-
day: There cannot be two copper kings
certain Amalgamated directors parted
with immense blocks Of Amalgamated
Just previous to the dividend declaration.
Lawson is not himself a director of the
company, hence he could not have been
knocking Thomas. w. Lawson. But Al,
bert c. Burrage, Lawson's greatest rival
for the title of the Copper King Of the
Hub and incidentally for the honor of
being the unrivaled dispenser of juvenile
charity, is director of the Amalgan1ated
copper. If the street is right in declaring
the fight to be one to a finish between
Lawson and. Burrage to see which shall
be the greatest man in Boston, there are
some mighty interesting times ahead"

Medical Journals.
Thousands of Such Cases.
MIR. Storms Letter.

A medical journal, says a writer IN the
Boston Traveller, has the names and ad-
dresses and full histories Of hundreds OF
cases of chronic and acute rheumatism
that have been permanently cured oy the
wonderful remedy which has recently
been attracting wide attention since Gov
ernor Yates of Illinois publicly endorsed
it.
Nothing else has ever been known to
cure like obstinate cases. When all oth-
ers have failed this marvellous remedy
for blood and nerves has made SICK peo-
pie well.
Paine's celery compound corrects un-
healthy nerve action and feeds the nerve
centers with the elements needed to build
them up again into healthy tissues. II
cleanses the blood Of every trace or poi
sonous humor and encourages a rapid
growth of the red corpuscles upon which
the vigor of the entire body depends
It's action is perfectly intell1g1ble to
every able physician.
Diseases Of the nervous system do not
come without warning. rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, insomnia and diseases Of the liver
and kidneys are but loud cries for

brain and nerve centers. Paine's celery
compound feeds these vital parts, and 1t

ANARCHIST MOST
SENT To PRISON
Given a Sentence Of One
Years imprisonment
in New York.
Publishes an Article Teach
ing the Doctrines Of
Anarchy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Johann Most, the
anarchist, was sentenced to one year In
the penitentiary to-day in the Court OF
Special Sessions for publishing In his
paper, the Freiheit, an alleged sed1t1ous
article on the day following the shooting
of the late President Mckinley.
The article in question was entitled
Murder Against Murder" In his defense
Herr Most claimed that the paper con-
tanning the article was printed and ready
for distribution before the President was
shot Also that it was a quotation from
an article published fifty years ago and
republished by him. After imposing the
sentence Justice Hinsdale read the opln-
ion Of the court, in which he said:
1t is no answer to the evil and criminal
nature of this article to claim that 1t was
written for the purpose of destroying crowned
that murder is the proper remedy to be ap-
piled against rulers. The fact that 1t was pub
hshed fifty years ago and again repubIshed
about fifteen years ago only emphasizes and
gives added point to the criminality of the re-
publishing of 1t at any time. 1t shows de-
liberate intent to inculcate and promulgate the
doctrines of the article. This we hold to be
a criminal act. 1t is not necessary to trace
any connection in this article with the as
sassination of the late President. The ofTenSe
here, in the eyes of the law. is precisely the
same as If the bloody event had never oc-
CURED. The murder Of the President only
serves to illustrate and illuminate the enormity

PLANS MURDERS

Charles Douglas Crime
Similar to That of

and a Fortune.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Oct 1.-THE tragedy at the
Agnews stock farm yesterday morning,
Wnen Charles Douglas killed hlmselI aIler
attempting the life of his wife, Angellne
Douglas, and his stepdaughter, Aloha Ag-
new. is mystifying to the Sheriff's office,
when it comes to theorizing upon the
cause for the husbands acts. Everything
about the crime recalls the Dunham muir
ders in Campbell in 1885, There is no
evidence to show that Douglas was in
sane. In all his dealings around town he
was careful and particular, and many
now believe he Planned his crime, as
Dunham had, for a financial gain for his
child. That he did not commit murder
was not his fault, and he took his life

characteristics. he was close mouthed.
held aloo1 from everybody, and never
spoke of his past life or affairs. The tenn
peramentS or two men were never more
alike.
Very few who knew Douglas believe he
was Insane, but think he planned the
murder deliberately. When he married
Mrs. Agnew a few years ago she was a
widow, with property worth fully $4,000.
This she did not turn over to her nus
band, but kept it in her own name 1t is
known that Douglas had tried on nu-
merouS occasions to obtain possession OF
this property. 1t had been decided to Mrs.
Douglas by her former husband, who
knowing mis- wife would take care of
them. For some months Douglas has
been turning everything that ne could
about the AgneW home INTO cash. The
place was beautifully situated and in
cluded one of the finest live oak groves
in the county. Douglas had these trees
cut down and sold for wood. On this he
realized couple of thousand dollars.
Other things about the place were sold
and the whole proceeds went into his
pocket.
There was one child resulting from
Douglas marriage, and, as in the case
of the Durham murders, this was the
only one not assaulted. In the six mur-
ders committed by Dunham his child was
the only one left alive in the house and

Some days ago Douglas hid under bed
the large horse bone with which he tried
to brain his wife and the rope he used
in the attempt to strangle her. He at

daughter Aloha, and as Irma, the 3-year-
old girl, has a badly bruised face, it is
believed he attacked her, and proba bly,

TO murder his Stepdaughter. With these

have become the heir to his wife's prop
erty, worth at least $4,000. If his muir
derouS plans had not been frustrated il
is believed he intended to flee, or else at

But little is known of Douglas here. He
never told any one about himself and
always seemed to be hiding his past life
He was possessed of about $1,000 when he
came here, which he invested in securi-
ties.

CHINESE COURT
AVOIDS PEk|NG
Japanese Firmly Believe
It Has No Intention
Of Returning.
Ii Hung Chang Is Reported
to Be in an Enfeebled
Condition.
Correspondence of The Call.

YOKOHAMA. Sept. 2S.-The announce
ment from China that the court had de-
cided not to return to Peking until next
April is taken as confirmatory of the be-
lief held here from the beginning that
there is no intention of ever returning
there. The japanese, who know the Chi
nese so well, have always been more than
skeptical upon this point and are filled
with wonder at the ease with which the
allies have been deceived in this vital
matter. 1t is, in fact, to any one ac-
ouainted with the Oriental character i'm
possible to gine that a court with so
exaggerated q sense OF Self-reSpect as that
which marks the Chinese Government
itself under the guns of a foreign fortress
such as the legation district in Peking
has now become.
Mr.. Komura, who has just returned to
his post as Minister to China to take a
position in the new Cabinet as Minister of
Foreign Affairs, reports Ii Hung Chang
as in an exceedingly enfeebled condition,
his intervals Of complete prOStratiOn ever
growing longer and more frequent, while
his increasing irascibility seriously inter
fereS with the settlement of all diplomatic
matters. Chang's condition is regarded as
a great misfortune to China.
The sending OF quite z, large contingent
OF japanese regular troops to Shanghai
is generally regarded as a significant po-
litical move. Germany, France and Eng
land have posted forces there and per-
manent barracks are being erected for
their use. Japan does not propose to be
ignored in the matter and is going to have
her share in the balance of power"
game. In every possible way she is Civ
ing ii to be understood that she is hence
forth to be a power to be reckoned with
in the Orient.
Statistics OF the growth of the japanese
mercantile marine during the past three
years show very extraordinary figures.
The number Of steamers has increased by
300 100000 tons, and sailing vessels by
5000 (20O,00O tons). 1t is a growth almost
unprecedented in the shipping history of
the world. The increase is largely due to
the liberal policy of the Government in
granting large bounties for the extension
of foreign services. The total crews num-

DEPOSITORS WITHDRAW
FROM A NEW YORK BANK
Extra Paying Tellers Are Installed
and All of the Demands Are
Promptly Met.

BUFFALO, Oct. IA run on the FL
deity Trust Company, a State banking
institution, began to-day. A long line Of
anxious depositors stood for hours wait
ing to withdraw their money. Extra pay
ing tellers were installed and the windows
were kept open until o'clock.
Prominent bankers and business men
say that the rurnor which caused the run
is groundless and that only small
depositors are Withdrawing their ac-
counts. Several large deposits were made
during the day by business houses and
large sums of money were sent to the
Fidelity Company's offices by local banks.
The Erie County Savings Bank voluntar-
lily turned over $25O,OO0 in cash to the FL
deity COMPANY. The Marine Bank also
sent in $1OO, 900. The money was accepted,
but not as loan. New York drafts were
sent to the two institutions for the cash.
At the close of business to-day President
Foreman stated that the Withdrawals eX-
ceeded the deposits by only $4,000.
The Fidelity Trust Company is not a
member Of the Clearinghouse Associa-
ton, but an official offer of assistance
was made to President Foreman by the
clearing house to-day. President Fore
man declined to accept, saying the bank
needed no assistance.

RAILROAD PURCHASES
A SITE FOR CAR SHOPS
Hunting ngton-Hellma Syndicate Sc
cures a Large Tract of Land in
Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 4.-One Of the
largest and most important real estate
transactions made in this city in years
was completed to-day when the Hunting
ton -Hellman syndicate secured a tract of
twenty-eight acres Of land situated be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, Central
avenue and Alameda street. The purchase
price is not given in the deed, which men
tions $40 as the consideration, but real
estate experts assert that the property
could not be touched for less than $780,
900, and 1t is their opinion that consider
ably more than that sum was paid for 1t.
Mitchell Allen of Chicago is the seller.
The property will be used as a site for
shops for the Los Angeles Railway Com
pany, the Pasadena and Santa Monica
lines and all other traction routes owned
or to be built by the syndicate, which
contemplates the, expenditure. of more
than million dollars on the plant in the
near future. The present shops will be
remodeled and enlarged and converted
into power plants for. the various roads.
The repair shops at Pasadena will be
closed and all work done in this city, in
cluding the building Of new cars. Both
H. E. Huntington and Manager Randolph

pany's intention to spend an immense
amount of money in improving the vari-

WEAKNESS, lack Of energy and despond-
ency are more matter Of nerves and
brain than of the muscles. At this season
of the year, when thousands of ovet-

drudgery that will have no cessation for
nearly a year to come, many are already
showing the symptoms that sooner or
later result from hurry, care, anxiety and
haste without the amount Of rest and
recreation that nature intended

reveal the strain before the winter Is
over.

root Of the trouble. Begin the work Of re-
cuperation and cure at the earliest mo-

freedom from disease in Paine's celery
compound, wnich corrects unhealthy
nerve action and supplies the veins with

mate at it's proper worth this greatest Of
all remedies for the prevention and cure
of disease. II IS no eXdggeratlon TO say
that every week brings hundreds Of let
ters from those who have used Paine's
celery compound and have been benefited
by 1t. Above is the picture of Repre-

Paine's celery compound as the most
beneficial and valuable Of remedies, espe-

WRECKED HATING
WILL De SAVED
Passengers Are Taken
Off the Stranded
Vessel.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. A-The
steamers Willapa and Maude, sent as re-
hefs to the wrecked steamer Hating, ar
rived here from the scene of the disaster
this afternoon. The Hating is still lying
on an even keel on a rocky point of Jar
Wis Island, about fifty miles from this
city. Both vessels came down laden
with passengers and baggage, not a per-
son being left aboard the stranded vessel
tonight. The total number Of passen-
gers on the Hating from SkagWay was
10.
there was some apprehension in the mind
Of her MASTER Captain Joseph Gosse, that
at dead low water she might slide from
the natural cradle in which she at first
rested and so fall back into deep water.
On this account all of the passengers
and crew were landed as darkness fell on
Saturday night and campf1res were built
on the rocky shore and tents placed in
position Under these circumstances all
the passengers awaited the falling of the
tide, and it was not till 1:30 o'clock on
Sunday morning that Captain GoSSe al
lowed any person to go aboard the yes
sci. AS many of the passengers had fall
len asleep in the big, tents. before the
time before all could be awakened and
shown to their staterooms. Sunday was
spent in exploring the island upon which
thH this oSanw wa at that reef
brought by the steamer Maude, the Will
lapa following shortly afterward.
The Hating was less than 100 yards out
of her course when she struck and was
proceeding at but half speed. She ran on
the rocks about twenty feet and tore
away her entire forefoot for that dis
tance. Water rushed into her forward
bulkheads and even penetrated her for
ward hold. but in very small quantities.
A diver is now on the scene with wreck
ing apparatus and it is likely that the
vessel will be hoated by the latter part
of the week. Cement casing will be
placed in her bulkheads and it is then
likely that she will be able to proceed to
this city under her own steam
No'panic whatever occurred among the
passengers when the vessel struck, but
a Chinese pantry hand caused no small
amount of terror by appearing on deck
armed with knife, which he brandished
furiously as he tore up and down, de-
nanding that he be given place In one
Of the boats. The terror-stricken Chinese
was forcibly quieted.
Among the passengers We're many re-
turning Klondikers from Dawson and gold
to the amount of 100000 was brought
down. Every person aboard the Hating
was loud in praise of the master Of the
vessel, who is well known in these waters
as a skillful and careful navigator,
Sabine Channel, which the Vesse! was
entering when she struck, is a passage
about three-quarters of mile Wide at
its narrowest point and 1t is customary
for shippers to work through, it in foggy
weather by tie direction OF the echoes
from the steamers whistle.
Owing to the accident 1t Is not likely
that the Hating will make another trip
till the spring. She may be sent to San
Francisco for an overhanling.

SENATOR FRYE FAVORS
PROPOSED CANAL TREATY
Cannot Understand How Amy One
Can Object to the One Now
Being Negotiated.

WASHINGTON, Oct. H.-Senator Frye,
president pro tempore of the Senate, said
to-day that he thinks Congress will take
action on the Nicaragua canal during the
next session. He says he cannot see how
any Senator can object to the treaty with
Great Britain now under negotiation
81 never believed in any canal not neu-
trail" he said. THE idea of fortifying
such a highway is absurd and the priv
ilege to do so is of no value. The right
to close it in time of war to any nation
seems equally absurd
Referring to the attitude Of the Senate
on the reciprocity treaties he said he ex-
poets some action, but he was not pre-
pared to say of what character. Frye
expects there will be considerable oppo-
sition. The administration is determined
to press the treaties and hopes to secure
their ratification. The fight will be made
on the French treaty. The Argentine
treaty will be considered after the French
treaty is disposed of.

TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT
ANOTHER FRUIT BLOCKADE
Southern California Orange Crop Is
as Large as That of Last
Season.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-THE Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe companies are de-
termined that there shall not be another
citrus fruit blockade in Southern Califor-
mia if they can prevent it, and already
both companies have begun arrangements
for promptly handling this seasons crop.
At the headquarters of both companies
the orange crop TO be moved is estimated
at 25,0O0 carloads, quite as large, If not
larger, than last seasons crop. To meet
The enormous demand for transportation
facilities the Santa Fe has already begun
the collection of fruit cars, and every
available siding west of Albuquerque is
rapidly filling up with them, where they
will be held until needed. In order to
meet the increased demand for motive
power the Santa F.e some time ago placed
orders for many new locomotives, and as
soon as these are delivered they will be
used in the transportation Of oranges
At the Southern Pacific headquarters It
was also stated that new motive power
as well as cars would be delivered IN time

be no blockade, however large the crop
might be.

CONGRESS TO DETERMINE
PLANS FOR wARSHIPS
Secretary Long Will Submit the De-

Board Of Construction-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Congress will
have to determine for itself the charac-
teristics of the projected battleships. Con-
sideration of the act directing him to pre-
pare plans for the proposed ships has
convinced Secretary Long that Congress
desired to make choice Of the plans. He
will therefore transmit to that body the
two designs recommended by the major
ity and minority of the board on con-
struction and the compromise plan, which
is practically that of the minority save
that eight-inch guns are substituted for
seven-inch guns. The board held meet
