Rio Rev in Trouble.

The lumber schooner Rio Rey will not
go TO sea for some time. A few days ago
she arrived with a full cargo and after
discharging it at Channel street started
away again yesterday. While beating
her way down the bay with a strong ebb
tide she ran into the British General. The
would clear the BritiSher, but the tide
was too strong for him and the collision
fAlowed. AS usual the iron vessel suffer-
ed but little, while the Rio Rey had her
sails torn to shredS, her topmaSts carried
away and her fore and main masts
sprung. The tug Milton separated the
vessels and took the Rio Rey back to the
Mission mud flats.
The steam schooner National City,
which started for Fort Bragg Monday

HOLDS A YOUNG
GIRL PRISONER
Mexican Abducts Pretty
Juana Campeo Near
Rincon.
Detains His Victim for a Day
in His Dugout in
the Hills.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CORONA Oct. 29-Juana Campeo was
abducted by a Mexican named Rafael
Cabriz last Thursday evening and was
held prisoner by him until Friday even-
ing, when she was released and allowed
to return home. When she arrived at her
fathers home she was in a serious con-
dition mentally and hysicalIy.
The girl is II years of age and quite
pretty. Her father has charged her abb
ductor with a serious crime, and the
warrant is now in the hands of the
Sheriff. Up to the present time Cabrtk
has eluded capture, but every effort will
be made to take him.
The scene Of the abduction was snort
distance from the vineyard Of John
Strong, which is about two miles north
of Rincon, on the Pomona road. Juana
had been picking grapes in the vineyard
all day, and as evening approached lett
for her home, which was only three
quarters of mile distant She had gone
but a short distance when a Mexican
sprang out from the roadside and, under
penalty of death forced her to accom-
pany him. AS the man was on foot, the
girl could have been easily rescued hal
man took the girl up into the hills to. a
dugout and detained her there until Fri
day evening.
Aurain Campeo, the father of the girl,
was cutting wood in the mountains a
long way from the scene of the abduc-
brought to him by his son. Campeo left
Immediately, and with the help of friends
endeavored to find and rescue his daugh-
ter and capture her abductor. He was
not successful and he then notified his
employer here in Corona, w. B. Robards,
who informed the Sheriff. Through the
fathers neglect in not reporting the case
sooner the criminal may escape.

DR.. Reinsch Blames the
Rapacity Of Foreign
Capital.
Undue Haste in Exploitation
Arouses Antagonism of
Orientals.
Special Dispatch to The can.

STAMFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 29.-
Dr. Paul S. Reinsch of the University of
Wisconsin delivered his second lecture on
world Politics" in the university to-day
speaking on THE Opening of China" He
said in part:
There has been lately a revolution in Euro
pean industrial life not less important than
tnat ti at the beginning Of the nineteenth CEN
directed toward obtaining free trade through
out the world. The foreign investments of a
country like England are at present questions
people is directed toward places where the
hasopad 15t faDits can be safely invested The
security. Let us look at the changes brought
about by this capitalistic revolution.
In early times there was no penetration of
the interior of countries in our commercial ac-
tivity-we simply went to their shores. to their
harbors. But things have changed. Our pres
ent movement is in constructing inland rail-
roads, exploiting mines building sugar fac
tories and the like. On this account YOU must

The Industrial movement Is in some respects
a more efficient method of approaching older
civilizations than is any other. When older
civilizations are brought into contact with

OF Oriental nations. The main avenue of ap-
preaching them will be through the demand for

natives when making their Investments and
ceedlngly careful in watching out for this
problem. practically not allowing natives to
sell their lands to corporations, and so fore
Ing WOuld-be investors to seek unoccupiet
lands. 1t can readily be that industrial
expansion, If rightly understood and carried
out, may enrich the country by developing un-
occupied land.
The trouble in China was due to the fact
that we had passed from commercial to indus
trial exDanson-to the fact that we did not
stop at China's shores. but went into the IN
terror and asserted rights over her territory
One method Of the European powers was to get
concessions from the Government for the build

tiOnal life comes now 1t will come to meet
foreigners in self-defense against such atroci-
ties as occurred year ago. China was on the
way to reform when undue haste of exploiting
capital very naturally alarmed the Chinese
mind and made 1t hostile toward western
movements. The Chinese are less ready than
ever to assume our higher civilization because
of what they have experienced in the past two
years.

ROYAL WELCOME
AWAITING HIM
Great Preparations for
Reception Of Ed
wards Son.
Battleships Of the Empire to
Meet and Escort the
Ophir.

LONDON Oct. 29.-Most elaborate plans
have been made for the reception of the
Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York
at Portsmouth and London.
1t is not generally felt that the tour of
the Duke and Duchess has been a sue
cess, as, on the whole, comparatively lit
tie interest has been taken in it, the war
and other events having completely over
shadowed the royal journey. The OFF,
cialS, however, are determined that it
shall end in blaze Of glory.
At Portsmouth an effective naval dis
play has been arranged. Fifteen battle
meet the royal yacht Ophir and escort
her to Portsmouth. Other ships will join
in the reception, and Friday evening the
whole fleet in the harbor will be illumi-
mated. King Edward and Queen Alexan--
dra, with the children of the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall and York, and other
members of the royal family, on board
a fiotilla of smaller royal yachts, will
meet the Ophir in the channel Friday and
escort her into the harbor.
The royal party will take train Saturday
and reach London at l o'clock in the al
ternoon. Here 1000 troops will keep the
streets clear for the procession from VIC
d, tofa stati3n tito by way OF GonfeituflonM f Mri i
borough House. All traffic on the Lon
don and Brighton road will be suspended
between the time of the departure and al
Newspaper correspondents who were
with the Duke and Duchess party con-
tribute some remarkable letters to their
papers here, highly appreciative of Can
ada, but they do not like the glimpse
they got of the United States. Thus the
Morning Post correspondent writes:
Some of us went to Buffalo to see the
exposition, which was disappointing
Buffalo is slovenly if prosperous city,
in contrast with the handsome Canadian
cities we recently visited
"All the correspondents noted the ex-
traordinary difference in the aspect and
manners of the people here and across
the border. We appeared to have sud
denly got out of a region of wholesome,
fresh complexioned people into land of
a meager, pallid race like one sees IN
some Of our manufacturing cities, an ac-
tive, brisk people, lacking the courteous
manners of Canadians. To some of the
young French Canadians of our party
this was their first experience in the
United States, and they. recrossed the
frontier more downright in their express
sions of loyalty to Great Britain than
they had ever been before"

The First Of the Whalers.

The whaling barks Charles W. Morgan

of Okhotsk yesterday morning Both
were sperm whaling and bring home but
little bone. In July last the Morgan sent
and she brings with her HOO barrels of
sperm and $50 barrels of whale OIL be-
sides 1000 pounds of bone. The Alice
Knowles brought home 1850 barrels of
sperm and $50 barrels of whale OIL She
also sent home a quantity of bone last
spring.
On September 13 the Charles W. Morgan
and on September q the John and Win
throp was sighted, but would not answer
signals. Both vessels will refit here AMI
sail again for the northern seas in two
months. 1t was the Charles w. Morgan
that sold a lot of old firearms to the ma :
tives of the Marshall group, so it is safe
to say that vessel will not call at Ponape
