AUSTRALIANS
SCORE BRITONS
Alleged Mistreatment OF
Bushmen Stirs In
dignation.
Special Dispatch to The call.

VANCOUVER, 3. G., Nov. 2S.-There IS
a great storm of Indignation throughout
Australia, according to statements In the
Sydney papers arriving to-day oy the
steamer Miowera, on account OF the I'M
prisonment of fourteen members of the
Australian Mounted Bushmen for alleged
mutinous conduct in South Africa.
Several troops of the mounted men were
sent from Australia to hgnt against the
Beers, and it is contended that if the Aus
tralians knew what kind of treatment
would have been meted out to their men
they would never have sent them along
so generously. At a banquet after one
of the British victories in South Africa
Colonel Beatson said that the Australians
were "a lot Of white-livered ours" Sew
eraI colonial officers who were present
arose in body and demanded retrac-
ton. This was denied and the colonel
proceeded with the remark that the OIL
GERS we're not much better.
The men resented this and refused duty
under the colonel. Fourteen were ordered
by court-martial to be shot, but this SEN
tence was changed by Lord Kitchener to
twelve years in Jail in England.
The Australian papers declare that this
is an outrage and that if this sentence
should be carried out, without interter-
ence from the War Office, The Australian
Government will be quite justified Il de-
manding the recall of every Australian
soldier serving against the Beers.

RUNS FOR LIFE
FROM POWDER
Narrow Escape From
Death Of Mine Su-
perintendent.

GRASS VALLEY. Nov. 28.-Three hun
>dred pounds of giant powder and a large
quantity of giant caps blew UP at the La
Suerte mine, three miles from Nevada
City last night, completely wrecking the
modern hosting plant. Superintendent
Ktrkham had a narrow escape from a ter
rible death and the night shift crew was
almost entombed.
Sparks from a smokestack caused the
disaster and burning embers set the hoist
ing works roofs on fire. Seeing that the
building was doomed Superintendent
Kirkham tried to prevent the powder and
caps stored in a pump alongside the burn
ing works from exploding. The sparks
falling about powder kegs threatened an
instant explosion and the superintendent
ran from the burning building He had
hardly gone fifty feet when the whole
mass of explosives caught and went off
with a roar that was heard miles away.
Kirkham was knocked down but was not
injured, although heavy pieces of iron and
wreckage were flying in all directions. The
roof of the hoisting works was thrown
hundreds of feet in the air.
The miners down in the works heard
and felt the explosion and escaped by
means Of the drain tunnel. The property
is owned by San Francisco men. The
damage is estimated at $50. 900.

PREsBYT TER|AN5
TO REVISE CREED
Committee Meets to Dis
cuss Contemplated
Changes.
Will Draft a Form Of State
ment to Replace the
One Now in Use.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-The prelim-
mary work of revising the creed of the
Presbyterian church so as to make 1t
more popularity understood was begun
here to-day at meeting of a section Of
the committee of twenty appointed at the
last Presbyterian Assembly to accomp-
lish this result. The section that met to-
day spent several hours in discussion. but
no action was taken. Rev. DR.. Herrick
Johnson of Chicago presided and the
other members who participated were
Rev. Drs. Minton of San francisco and
Specher of Cleveland and Justice Harlan
of the United States Supreme Court.
A form of statement to replace the one
now in use was submitted and other forms
will likely be submitted. The object is to
secure a formal expression of doctrine
that will be more definite and convey to
the laymen a clearer idea of the subject
than the present declaration. No vital
changes were contemplated in to-day $
discussion, but may be a different mode
of expression was aimed at. 1t was rec
ognized that the $50 years that have
elapsed since the adoption of the present
statement of doctrine has made some diff
ferences in the conception of the authori-
ties. There was some discussion as to the
Incorporation of statement regarding
the personality of God. but this propos.-
L.sa is still a tentative one.
The section will hold another session
tomorrow and will meet daily until
w tuI1oSudy, WH0u Tie luIl COIIliHlIle0 Will
convene with a view to taking final ac-
ton. Whether the deliberations of the full
committee will occupy week or num-
Der of weeks is still conjeetural. Two
other sections of the committee will meet
ontemporaneously with the other body
and will frame proposition for action by
chapters on the Holy Spirit and on the
love of God, and the other will make a
slight revision of the confession of faith
with reference to the elect infants decla-

church does not hold the belief that those
who die in infancy are lost This change
will be effected probably by a specific
declaratory statement. though possibly by

II. G. walker in Trouble.

The Stockton steamer T. c. Walker was
nearly wrecked during the gale. Dur
ing the early hours of the morning she at
tempted to make Washington-street
wharf The wind and tide were both
against her and she was swept down on
the Dolphin. The impact proved disastrous
to the steamboat, as nearly forty feet of
her railing and gingerbread" work was
carried away and the upper decks were
seriously damaged. The wharf did not
suffer to any great extent. The Walker
was sent to the shipyard for an over
hauling and it will be several weeks be-
fore she is ready to go into commission
again.

FERRY STEAMERS IN TROUBLE.
One Of the Oakland Boats Thrown on
Beam Ends iniGale

The ferry steamers had rough going
during the early hours of the morning.
Between 6 and 8 o'clock the southeasteT
blew its worst and all who came over on
tkcse vessels learned what a gale is. On
the Bay City there was almost a panic,
as the vessel was on her beam ends for a
few seconds. 1t is hard to put a side
wheeler in that position, but for a few
seconds the port wheel of the ferryboa
was out of water and the engines had to
be stopped on account of the pressure.
A great scare was the result and the pas
down For a few minutes there was al
most a panic, but gradually everybody
came to their senses. Had they known
more about vessels they would have felt
as safe as if in a church, for the bottom
riay drop out of a ferryboat but the upper
works will float.

Ends His Life With Acid.

GRASS VALLEY, Nov 28-George
Townsend committed suicide yesterday at
the home of his father-in-law, George
Moulton, some miles south of here. He
procured a bottle of carboIic acid and
drank a large portion of it before the bot

the cause of the suicide. Townsend was

that these plates have fallen into the

from them large quantities of notes
which have been put into circulation
from New York to San Francisco. a
very large percentage of the notes Sc
far discovered are twos, although some
ones and fives are being sent in. Inas-
much as the notes are not counterfeits

KNOX REFUSES OPINION.
Treasury Department Must Depend
ON Decision of Comptroller in Pay
ing Back Duties Collected.

Washington, July 30. Attorney
General Knox Monday declined to
render an opinion which was asked
for by the ,cretary of the treasury,
on the question whether or not, un-
der the existing laws, the secretary is
authorized to refund the duties col
lected on goods imported from Porto
Rico between the date of the ratif-
cation of the Spanish treaty and the
date that the Foraker act went into
operation. The attorney general says
that inasmuch as the comptroller of
the treasury has given his decision on
the subject 1t is a matter for him
(the comptroller) alone and he there
fore cannot give a decision as re-
quested.
II is authoritatively stated at the
treasury department that the gov
eminent will proceed Immediately to
refund these duties, acting upon the
decision of the comptroller of the
treasury. which was to the effect
that the treasury department had no
authority under existing law. The
duties amount approximately to
