AGAINST SUNDAY EXCURSIONS
No More Boats Will BE Cleared al
Victoria on Sunday.

Seattle, June 23.-Port Collector A &.
R. Milne, at Victoria, B. c.. acting un-
der instructions from the Canadian
government, has made ruling that
practically puts an end to all Sunday
excursions from Puget Sound points
to the Island city. Hereafter no vessel
not engaged in the regular run will be
given a clearance from Victor ia on Sun
day. No boat will be refused entry,
but none will be allowed to clear until
the opening of the collectors office at
8 O'Clock Monday morning.
The new ruling was announced OH
Saturday of last week, when the La
Conner Transportation and Trading
Company asked Collector Milne for per-
mission to enter and clear their steam.
er Utopia, which bad been chartered
for the excursion by the lodge of Eagles
at Anacortes. Mr.. Milne, in his an
swer, refusing clearance permission,
stated that his instructions from Ottawa
were positive and that he could not
clear any special excursion vessel un.
til Monday morning. Hence the Ana
cortes Eagles were compelled to aban.
don their trip. Every ticket on the
boat had been sold, and it was disap-
pointed crowd that were compelled &C
return to their homes Sunday morning.
The protest against Sunday excur-
sions is Of years standing, and arose
over the traffic on the Great Lakes last
summer. A number OF prominent Ca
madam clergymen presented petition
to the government requesting that the
officials see to it that the traffic was
stopped. The order is the result of
that petition.

Carson City, Colo, June 23.-Tht
courage OF Warden John G. Cleghorr
and his guards yesterday suppressed
the most desperate revolt that has evel
occurred at the Colorado penitentiary
For time the maddened convicts
swept away all opposition and whole.
sale Jail delivery seemed inevitable
but the warden rallied the panic-stric
Ell guards, shot down the ringleaders Of
the mutineers and averted catastrophe
The revolt had been carefully planned
The signal for the attack upon the
guards was given at S:l5 a. m, while
some of the convicts were at work in
the wash house. There were only few
overseers present and they were quickly
overpowered
Headed by James Armstrong, the
mntineers, six in number, started fol
the main gate, telling every guard who
attempted to interfere with their prog.
ress.
Mrs. Cleghorn, wife of the warden.
appeared when the gang was within a
few feet of the gate. She was roughly
sclZeu ny armstrong anu forced along
in front of the maddened prisoners.
The main gate was locked, but dyna.
mite was quickly produced and the
structure was blown up. The convicts
rushed through the opening to freedom
They were forced to carry Mrs. Cleg-
horn. who had tainted.
Warden Rallies the Guards.
News of the revolt had been taken tc
Warden Cleghorn, and he rallied the
guards and manned the walls.
Keep cool, boys, and shoot to kill
but do not injure my wife"
The guards followed instructions, anC
while some remained on the walls. 9th

the fleeing convcts. who abandoned
Mrs Cleghorn about fifty yards from
the main gate. Guard Redman sho

SHEEP FOR NORTH.
Frye Brnhn Company will Ship 25,'
900 to Aleutians.


Seattle, June pa gigantic stock
raising enterprise in connection with
Alaska is being undertaken by the
Frye Bruhn Company. 1t involves the
importation to the Aleutian islands fol
stock breeding purposes of no less than
$4,000 sheep. The first consignment
5000 head, will be shipped north on
the steamer Melville Dollar, which ar.
rived in port Friday morning from San
Francisco. The vessel was specially
chartered tor this service, and will car.
ry only sheep and the forage necessary
tor their sustenance while en- voyage
Between now and fall the vessel will
take north two more consignments each
of about that number of stock.
The Frye ruhn Company has al.
ready demonstrated by actual expert
ment that sheep will thrive on the
Aleutian islands. Wloves are their
greatest menace. The winters on the
islands of the archipelago to the west
OF Cocks inlet are not more rigorous
than those on Puget Sound. Sheep can
live and thrive go long as they are pro.
tected from the encrOachments of wolves
and other wild animals, and they will
multi ply at an astonishing rate. The
sheep being shipped to the Aleutians
will have no other food supply than
that which they may obtain from the
islands.

HIRED ASSASiNS.
Chinese Government Rewards Men
Who Killed Re formers.

Hongkong, June 2, via Victoria
June 22.-EvideEce was given in the
trial of the murderers of reform lead
err, Yueng kue wan, proving that the
Chinese government hired assassins to
murder the retormer, who had been
connected with the Waichou rising OF
1900 and was prescribed in consequence.
A reward of 42l 900 taels and official
rank was offered by the viceroy OF Can
ton and the governor of Managing for
the capture or assassira alton of tie re.
former, who was shot down in Hong
kong.
1t was shown that Ii IA Chuck
mandarin of Canton, organized the
murder, and with Yung Ching Kai,
commander of the Chinese warship Kin
Ynie. came to Hongkong to supervise
the murder. Four men committed the
deed and returned to Hongkong, where
the four, who were formerly coolies,
were paid the reward and made manda-
rims. Hongkong papers call on the
British government TO take the neces-
sary diplomatic action at Peking which
circumstances warrant.

CHICAGOANS MAY EAT.
Strike of Walters and Cooks Is
Compromised.

Chicago, June 22.-rhe strike OF the
walters and cooks is a thing Of the past
and the majority of the men are again
at work. 1t was agreed that IS per
cent of the men sbal Il resume their old
places at once, and the remainder are
to have their positions within ten days.
On the question of absolute recogni-
ton of the union, on which the strikers
have been 20 obdurate, the agreement
provides for freedom on both sldes.
The hotel and restaurant proprietors
are to have the right to employ what
help they choose, no matter whether it
belongs to the union Or rot. The EN-.
ployes have the right to join the union
or remain out OF it as they choose, and
there is to he no discrimination against
either union or nonunion men.
This is q substantial victory for the
proprietors. The question of an in
crease in wages was left open for settle.
ment, and if not arranged by July &
is to 90 before borad of arbitration.
The union has heretofore refused to ar
bitrate anything.

IN BAD POSITION.
British Troops in SOmaliland Are
Now Surrounded.

Simla, India, June 22.-Major Gen
eral Charles Comm Egerton, who has
been in command of the Punjab from
tier forces Stree 1899, has been appoint
ed to the command of the Somaliland
expeditionary forces, which are operat-
ing against the Mad Mullah, superced-
ing Brigadier General Il. Manning.
General Manning took command of
the British expedition in Somaliland
last November, after reverse suffered
by Colonel Swayne, has not proved sue
cessful in his campaign. Columns of
detached forces have been badly mauled
by the Mullah's followers. the most &C.
rious being tie ambush of Colonel
Plunkett's flying detachment of 2O8
men, when the entire force was wiped
out. The latest advices received in
London, June IA, were to the effect
that General Manning was surrounded
whose column was in serious posi-
tion at Callady and on half rations.
One of the causes of the nonsuccess of
the expedition has been the cowardice
OF the native Somali regiment, of
which so much was hoped when it was
formed recently. Only few days ago
news came that the native camel corps
had mutinied. The operations against
the Mad Mullah, who first raised the
tribes against the British in 1899, have
already cost $4,000, 900.
A desire is manifested to abandon the
campaign, but in view of the predica-
ment of General Mannings forces it
has been found necessary to order Brit
ish troops from India, and when they
arrive the British expedition in Soma
liland will consist of 500 British, 200
Indian troops and 4 1000 natives.
