GREAT CAVE
DISCOVERED
IN NEVADA
Special dispatch to Tn. Call.

SALT LAKE, June "A vast under
ground cavern. in places seemingly
bottomless and of unknown extent. has
been discovered near Cain Springs,
about sixty-ffve miles west Of Calientes,
New, on the line of the San Pedro.
Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad
The cave is now being thoroughly ex-
plored by members of the railroad and
engineering crew, who learned OF 1t
through an old resident of the sparsely
settled district.
The cavern bids fair to become one
of the most celebrated of the natural
wonders Of the West and a rival of
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. Ex-
ploring parties have been able to pene-
trate to a distance of over 1000 feet,
progress at this point being stopped
by an abyss so deep that stones thrown
from the brink gave back no sound of
striking bottom.
e. o. Watts of Ogden, Utah, one Of
a party that first investigated the nat
uraI wonder, announces that system
attic exploration is in contemplation.
He, in company with several railroad
contractors, recently penetrated to a
great depth the mysteries Of the hith-
erto scarcely known cavern. Accord
ing to him the cave is filled with beau
tiful crystallized chambers, many of
them of great size and height.
"The cave is filed with natural
arches he said. supported by stall
actite columns, the beauty OF which is
marvellous. From the floor great stall
agmites push up and branch toward
the dome-like ceilings. in the shape Of
trees"
The cave is possibly the outlet OF one
of the lost" rivers which abound In

Morris. After a chase of several blocks
Morris, realizing his inability TO out

Hampton to throw away his knife and
fight fairly. Hampton Immediately
wrapped his coat around his left arm

clasped in his right hand he advanced
toward Morris, who. in his emergency.

COLLEGIAN
CONFESSES
HIS CRIME
ClaremOnt' S Shooting
Mystery Is EX-
planned.

POMONA, June 2.-Harry S. Will
lett, president of the Sophomore Club
at Pomona College and who came
from San Jose, has confessed that he
is the incendiary who operated at the
home Of wealthy Mrs. Louise Renwick
and that he shot himself purposely to
create sympathy for himself. The
confession has astounded people in
this locality and little else is talked
of here tonight.
Early last Friday morning the peo-
pie IN Claremont, the site of the Po-
mona College. heard pistol shots in
the yard Of Mrs. Renwicks mansion.
People who ran TO the scene found
Harry Willett apparently unconscious
on the ground. with bullet wounds in
his left arm and shoulder. He said
later that he had been reused from
his sleep in an adjacent house by the
sound of steps upon the porch Of the
Renwick residence. He said further
that he ran out to defend the prop
erty when an unknown man shot him
It was discovered that some one had
carried rags saturated with oil and a
bottle of kerosene to the porch and
had tried to force an entrance to the
unoccupied Renwick residence. All
Claremont was excited at the attempt
at incendiarism and praised Willetts
conduct. For a week he has been the
hero of the college town and profess
sors and students have We'd with one
another to nurse him back to health.
Meanwhile the local police searched
long and far for the alleged incendiary
and murderous assailant. Yesterday
Constable Slanker found that the oil
saturated rags came from a room to
which only Willett had a key. other
suspicious facts were revealed, but the
Claremont people denounced the con-
stables theory that Willett was the
guilty person.
Constable Slanker and President
Gates of Pomona College went to the
bedside of Willett to-day and showed
him proofs of his guilt. After two
hours of discussion Willett broke down
and sobbingly confessed that he had
planned and executed the attempted
burning Of Mrs. Renwick's house in

CHICAGO, June Zone Of the most
important moves ever made in this
part of the country toward the stamp
ing out of pulmonary consumption will
be instituted at once by the establish
ment Of a tent colony at Ottawa, Ill,
under the patronage Of the Illinois
State Medical Society.
The site, containing TWENTY-FIVE or
thirty acres on a bluff overlooking the
Illinois River, has been donated to the
use Of the colony and arrangements
are now in progress for the purchase
Of tents and other equipments Men
and women patients will be received.
1t is the purpose of the physicians
backing the undertaking to demon
strate that tuberculosis can be cured
in this climate, when not too far ad-
vanced, by fresh air and good food.
From this beginning IT is expected sim
liar camps will be established through
out the State. The only cost to the
patients will be the actual expense of
food. This item, II is estimated, will
be from $16 to SIS month
The consumptives who avail them
selves of the opportunity to regain
their health will be subject to one con-
dition. They will be required to prom
ise when they enter the colony that
they will remain there until pronounced
cured. From nine months to a year
is the estimated length of residence re-
quired. After leaving the colony the
patients will be observed for two years
and If no sign Of disease reappears In
that time they will be considered per-
fectly sound.
The tent colony will be open summer
and winter alike.

BRrrAIN's ATTITUDE PECULIAR
Talk of AngIo-Russian Rapproche-
ment Continues.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.-The
comment here on the settlement of the
Russo-C Canadian fisheries dispute is
very significant. The agreement is
welcomed by the Russian press as evi-
dence OF the increasing probability of
an Anglo Russian alliance, the papers
pointing out that public opinion in
Great Britain, France and Russia is
becoming more favorable, the war. in
stead of proving an obstacle to an
alliance. serving as one of the argu-
ments in its favor.
More significant still is a strong in
timation of the Novosti, foreshadowing
that a commercial treaty between the
two countries will pave the way to a
purely. commercial rapprochement.
The impression is growing that Great
Britain is playing shrewd game. for
big stakes. commercially as well as po-
litically, and that while a complete
agreement would be mutually advan-
tageous to both Russia and Great Brit
ain, it would be at the expense Of the
United States In both these directions.

eyes and to get money reward for
his bravery in her behalf; also that he
had shot himself deliberately in order
to give weight to his story of his
bravery and at the same time make
himself hero in the eyes OF the Po-
mona College students and faculty.
He said he did not intend to cause
anything more than flesh wounds, but
the fact is he narrowly escaped killing
himself.
Willett is 20 years old and is one of
the brightest young men In the col

JAPANESE NOT ALARMED.

The Standard correspondent at
Tientsin, sending the same news.
says:
The Russian force in the engage
ment at Wafantien on May so is sup
posed TO have been formed of four
Siberian regiments. which were re-
ported to have left TaehiSAiachao or
May 2S. being the first section of a
relieving column for Port Arthur.
The railway is fairly intact from the
north to Wafangtien, but is complete
ly deserted from there to Pulantien.
The Japanese are unconcerned over
this demonstration, being convinced
that it will be impracticable for the
Russians to move sufficient force to
prove effective"
LONDON, June 2.-The Daily
Mails Newchwang correspondent.
cabling under date OF June 2. says:
General Stalkenberg, with 1900
Russians, made up of artillery and cav
airy and also infantry, has marched
south of Liaoyang, in the direction of
Wafantien.
Large forces of Chinese bandits are
collecting in the hills northeast of the
the railway north of Mukden"
REINFORCEMENT FOR OKU.
The correspondent of the Daily Ex-
press at Nagasaki cables that trans
ports laden with troops continue to
leave Western Japanese ports daily for
the theater of war. A large proportion
of those dispatched during the past
week, he says, were to reinforce Gen
eraI Oku.
The belief here is that il General
Kuropatkin is undertaking such a des-
perate measure, he can be doing so
only in Difference to the strongest DO
litical pressure and against his better
judgment.
No further news of any kind has
been received about the movements of
the Japanese forces. Generals Kuroki
and Oku are working in the utmost
secrecy.
The Daily TeIegraph's well informed
Toxic correspondent estimates the to-
tai defending force in Port Arthur as
10000.
This is a most formidable army -
he says. "and it will be a marvellous
achievement to carry by assault such
a place. with more than a score of
great landward forts disposed at a dis
tance Of fifteen miles from the harbor.
Still, the reduction of the place un-
doubtedly can be accomplished.
According to the Chronicles Toxic
correspondent, the Russians have COM
pleted eleven fortresses at Liaoyang
and are laying mines at distance Of
5000 feet around them.

Hammer Suing
ing U)ith Both
Hands.

The battle Of the Santa Cruz conven-
ton broke out afresh in the Palace Ho-
tel grill yesterday and was observed by
an army Of spectators. The engage
ment began precisely at 1880 p. m and
lasted fifteen minutes. The clash was
between NJ. F. Tarpey and Ex-Governor
James H. Budd. both of the Hearst
forces. The advance Of Tsrpey was
sudden and bold. He uttered no battle
cry in particular, but swore by all. the
big and little buttes of great Shasta
land that Budd was ambidextrous.
Just think of it'll The idea OF one
Democratic statesman Of the Hearst
man Of the same party ambIdextrous.
and, more than that. proving by sub
sequent language that he knew the
meaning Of the term
You swing a hammer with both
hands," said Tarpey. You hammer
your friends. You have been talking
about me. You have been talking too
much about the Santa Cruz convention
and saying that butchered the Hearst
campaign. Yes. on the 18th OF May
you said I had butchered the Hearst
campaign You are ambidextrous. You
swing a hammer with both hands"
ABTBIDEXTROUS DEFINED.
Reference to the dictionaries proves
conclusively that Tarpey looked after
his ammunition before going into the
fight. He didn't provide himself with
ten-inch projectiles for eight-inch
guns.
Webster defines "ambidextrous'':
Having the faculty Of using both
hands with equal ease. Practicing or
siding with both parties. EsOp con-
demns all false shuf7ing
and ambidextrous dealings"
The Century Dictionary is equally
explicit IN defining what "ambidex-
trous" means: Having the faculty OF
using both hands with equal ease and
dexterity. hence skillful. facils- Prac-
ticing or siding with both parties;
double dealing and deceitfuL"
It Is plain now, after the smoke OF
battle has cleared away. that Tarpey
planned the onset to- crush and destroy
Budd The wary Ex-Governor must
have had some knowledge or premoni-
ton of Tarpeian tactics. He did not
lose his presence of mind or yield one
inch of ground, but returned the FIRE
with telling effect. The numerous non
conbatants were dazed and bewndered.

'on the election Of the whole Republican

of Cornelius for city marshal and chief
of police.
The whole ticket is one of the clean

elevated to office.
Mr.. Cornelius made clean, gentle.
manly campaign for the nomination, and
for the election, and goes into Office
without pledges.
AS usual some of the prohibition lead
ers were arrayed against the Republi'
can nominee, and worked shoulder ia
shoulder with some of the liquor deal
ers. But these mistakes of judgement
are unavoidable.
With clean, able and progressive city
officials, and bright and progressive
board of aldermen, this city has q
splendid future, so far as its municipal
government goes.
There should be the most harmoni
Ous cooperation for the promotion OF
our municipal welfare. Let us all pull

WAS THERE A FAcT1oNAL F1GHT7

The Statesman intimates that ther,
was a fght between the Republicar
factions at Salem in the city election
Monday.
No such intimation is warranted, un
less there are facts to back it up, anc
che question is, if true, who were the
faction fighting the ticketi
It must have been the faction that
was defeated at the primaries, yhich
ever that may have been.
The leaders Of that faction came oui
In the papers and said they would sup
pert the whole ticket.
But the leader Of that faction, who il
bonored with holding two Republican
Offices, was very busy early and late
for the nominee (O.
The suggestions of the Statesman as
60 the existence of factions may be pipe
dreams, but the result in the strong Re
publican fourth ward gives some
grennd for suspicion.
A majority of 43 for the Independent
nominee at a polling place on the prop
srty Of one of the alleged faetional
Beaders shows that systematic work was
done.
If there is such faction as that, it
appears to be led by men who will not
support Republican ticket unless they
car dictate the nominees, and own the
OBicial after he is elected.
Such Republican leadership, that
snnst carry on its political work with
owned chattels, that substitutes one
man power for intelligent give-and-take
cooperative leadership, is un-Ameriean
and unworthy.
There probably always will be fac
tiOns in any political party, but the
great mass Of Republicans have little
use for spoils-mongering dictatorship
that assumes to deliver all the favors of
the party far in advance of elections.
