MORE GOLD RECOVERED
$4,000 TAKEN FROM THE MUD OF
SAN FRANCISCO BAY.
Nearly S2OO.OOO of the Bullion stolen
from the Selby Smelter Re-
stored to Its Owners.

SAN FRANCISCO Aug. Fit was stated
at the office of the Selby Smelling Company
to-day that a force of divers under the
management of n detective agency had to-
day taken $4,000 worth of gold from the
spot where it was hidden by Winters, max
ing nearly 100000 already recovered. 1t is
expected the remainder of the stolen treas
ure, amounting to 81. 900, will be recovered
inside of twenty-four hours.
Winters is still detained by the officers in
this city but has not been formally charged
with the crime. The fact that he has not
been charged with any crime lends addi-
tional weight to the belief entertained in
some quarters that he will be leniently
dealt with by the officers of the law for
confessing the crime and locating the spot
where he secreted the bullion.
There promises to be a lively fight be-
tween the detectives over the reward
money and the matter may eventually be
taken into court for settlement. Detective
Morse. who, it is stated. definitely fixed
upon Winters the authorship of the crime.
states that he obtained his first information
from Donaldson an employe OF the works
who formerly roomed with Winters. Act
ing upon this information, Morse gathered
sufficient evidence agains Winters . war
rant the arrest of the latter Morse who
is detective for the Selby people, does not
claim any of the reward but states that a
large portion should be divided between
Costa county. The lawyers of the last
named are drawing UP papers setting forth
the claims of Donaldson and Veal. Their
claims opposed by the other detective
Winters claims to have come from Los
Angeles and Texas.

They Cannot Be Returned when Cam
ceIled, Except by Act of Congress-.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Commissioner
Yerkes, of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
to-day gave out a statement regarding the
return to bankers of imprinted checks and
drafts that had been sent to his bureau in
order that the stamp thereon might be re-
funded in pursuance OF the act of March
>, 1901. The banks and other owners of i'm
printed checks and drafts requested that
the Internal Revenue Bureau cancel each
check in such manner as to render it's
further use possible and then return same
that under the existing law il seemed inn
possible to comply with these requests. The
commissioner says that the extent to which
these checks and drafts being sent in
for redemption shows that large pecuniary
loss Will fall upon banks and owners IL the
checks and drafts are DESTROYED after re-
fund is made for the stamps thereon. THE
most careful consideration" he says, has
been given to the question as to the right
of this department TO make refund for the
value of the stamps and then cancel and
return the checks and drafts The con-
cluSiOn reached Is that under the present
existing laws ii is not possible to return
these instruments TO the owners: but this
department Will proceed rapidly as possible
to consider these claims and redeem and
make refund to the owners of the amounts
due by reason of the stamps imprinted: will
cancel these instruments. so as to allow
their future use; will store the various
checks. and will request Congress at it's
Sc Ssion in December next to pass "A law nm
der which II will be possible and legal to
return these drafts and checks to the
claimants and owners. IL is also under
request and in this way speedy action may
he had"

Naval Heroes Commended.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The acting sec
retary of the navy, Mr.. Hackett, to-day
sent to Capt. II. TT. Han. who commanded
the legation guard at Peking during a part
OF the critical crisis there, a letter OF COM
mendation for the heroic services of those
under his command during the trying cir
cumstances. The department had previous
" sent a letter of commendation to Captain
Myers, who was the senior officer i'm COM
mand. but who gave way to Captain Hall
on being wounded. 4 similar letter would
have been sent to Captain Hall. but a that
time he was under charges made by officials
of the American legation relative to his
course during the siege. A court of inquiry
fully exonerated Captain Hall. The letter
of cOmmendation follows:
'The department desires to commend in
the highest terms the legation guard under

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Navy De-
partment has selected Rear Admiral Morti-
mer l.. Johnson, now in command at the
Port Royal Naval Station, to succeed Ad-
miral Sampson in command of the Boston
navy ward when the latter officer shall
retire The formal appointment has not
been made, as 1t is not known how soon
Admiral Sampson may wish to be relieved
or whether he will wait until his retire
ment from the service next February.
However, il is usual when the retirement
of an officer is ahead, to look about for
those available to succeed him, and this led
the department some weeks ago TO deter
mine upon Admiral Johnson for the pros
pective service. 1t has been known for some
time to Navy Department officials that
Admiral Sampson is not in robust health
and that he might desire TO lay aside his
duties at the yard before the time of his
retirement from the service. AS to this
however it is stated at the Navy Depart
ment that there is no definite information
from Admiral Sampson. He has not asked
to be relieved or indicated when he would
like to be detached. 1t is stated that the
action of the Navy Department has no
connection with the Schley court of in
quiry.
Officials OF the department were unable
to say to-day whether Admiral Sampson
would be summoned a witness or would
appear otherwise before the court, al
though ii was said to be altogether prob
able that he would be among the wit
nesses. Speculation has been INDUCED in
lately at the Navy Department as to
whether the admiral will be represented by
counsel at the court of inquiry, and wheth-
er Judge Advocate General Lemly will call
upon the government for legal assistance
in handling the case. Examination of the
law in the premises elicits the fact that
Admiral Sampson is not entitled to legal
representation at the hearings of the court
From an official view point Admiral Samp-
son does not figure in the inquiry at ALL
1t is improbable also that Captain Lemly
judge advocate of the proposed court of
inquiry. will ask the government for as
sistance in handling the case.

THE w. DEVICES WOOD PLANT.
It's Removal Necessary to Make Room
for Tube Works Extensions

Special TO the Indianapoli Journal
PITTSBURG, Aug. 12.-The threat to re-
move the W. Devices Wood plant from
McKeesport, Pa, TO some other point may
not be half as savage I'm effect as il first
appeared. IL was announced at this op-
perfume time 10 induce the employees of the
National tube works 1900 in number. to
remain at work. On the day following
the announcement the work of dismantling
began The effect was intended TO reach
throughout the country. IL was intended
10 teach the towns of from 10000 to 1000
that IL they did not control the unionists
I'm their municipalities the plants would
be removed. IL was intended To show
Elwood. Ind. as well as other places. that
n IL did not start up its mill with non
union men the mill would be taken away.
Now II appears as almost certain that
this was only a bit OF strike strategy. IL
IL perhaps true that the Wood plant will
be removed from Mckeesport. but IL is
also true that the ground which IL will
vacate Will be occupied by an extension
OF the National tube works. The two
plants are on adjoining pieces of ground.
Both are owned Dy the same company.
The Wood plant is old and should be re-
built. The tube plant is cramped and needs
more room IL is sensible TO rebuild the
Wood plant al some other point and ex-
tend the tube plant on the vacated ground.

PITTSBURG. Pa, Aug. 12.-To-night the
conservative element of the Amalgamated
Association is making moves for the salts
factory settlement of the strike. 1t is not
certain that President Shaffer is familiar
with what is going on but the efforts for
compromise are proceeding just the same.
To understand the efforts of this conserva-
tive element IL should be remembered that
there are practically two strikes. The one
called ten days ago. which brought out the
sheet steel workers, the steel hoop workers
and the tin-pIate workers. The second
strike TO enforce the first one went into
effect yesterday. and calls out all the MEM
bers of the Amalgamated who are employees
of the United States Steel Corporation. The
first call was literally responded to and it
practically shut up the production of hoops.
sheet steel and tin plate. The second was
not responded to so literally. With house
divided against itself such as the Amalga-
mated Association now stands. a strike can
not live This is admitted here by the
stanchest friends OF unionism. Therefore.
they devotedIy seek to preserve the organ
ixation. They know that the hoop men. the
tin men and the sheet men will soon want
10 return to work. The United States Steel
Corpora ton will insist that they return as
individuals and sign contracts to the effect
that while in the employ of the steel
corporation they will not join union.
The element seeking compromise
saws that such harsh measures
will arouse popular indignation and result
I'm inimlcal national legislation. Perhaps
the leaders do not care very much for this
phase but they want TO start their mills
They know that TO refuse to accept the
tin workers. the hoop steel workers and
the sheet steel workers as members OF an
organization and only as individuals. will
prclong the strike. In this event the cor
portGtion may waive its policy of extermi-
nation. and recognize the old corporation
90 the extent of permitting its shop dis
cipline and the authority of its wage COM
mittee.
There Is nothing tonight TO indicate how
the overtures of the conservative members
will be accepted. Shaffer issued a circular
to-day asking the individual lodges to use
local newspapers TO raise funds by popular
subscriptions and to use ministers TO
arouse popular sentiment in favor OF con-
demning the efforts of the trust to restrict
individual liberty. This circular seems TO
disclose a shortness of funds which was
not otherwise suspected

CHINESE CUSTOMS DUES
PROTOCOL FINALLY AGREED TO BY
THE FOREIGN ENJOYS.
Tariff Rate VIII BE Five Per Cent. Adj
ValOrem. but Rice, Cereals and
Flour Will Be Admitted Free.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-The State De-
partment has received a cablegram from
Mr. Rockhill at Peking, reporting that
the draft of the final protocol has been
agreed upon. A tariff Of 5 per cent. ad
valorem. effective, will be put in force
two months after the signing of the final
protocol, excepting on goods shipped with
in ten days after signing. and will continue
until the conversion to specific rates has
been effected by the expert commission
The Chinese free list will include rice. for
eign cereals and flour. gold and silver bull
lion and coin. This inclusion of flour in
the free list is of much Importance, partic-
ularly to Pacific coast shippers.
Mr. Rockhll's advices that cereals and
-four have been included i'm the free list
of the new Chinese tariff is regarded as
an important provision. owing to the
growth of American exports of wheat and
flour TO China In 1899 these amounted to
s. 29S. .033. which was almost double the ship
ments of the preceding year. The trade
has continued to increase, and the Pacific
coast interests have looked forward to sup
plying China with a considerable part OF
her consumption of wheat and flour, most
of which, heretofore, has gone from Allan
tic ports. around the Horn. Recently the
commercial organizations on the Pacific
coast forwarded representations Wash

tariff on -four would work considera bic

Mr.. Rockhlls dispatch. that the per

and the other articles mentioned are not
