ENLIST AS RAT-CATCHERS
Large Number of Men Get Employ
ment in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. . 17. With the
announcement yesterday that several
hundred men in addition to the present
force would bo employed In the sanitary
campaign in San Francisco, tho head
quarters of the United States Marine
Hospital Corps, on Fillmore street, this
morning presented a lively scene and had
the appearance of an enlistment bureau
at the outbreak of war. A large
crowd of men, of all ages and stations In
life, from the ranks of the unemployed,
besieged the place, crowded the steps and
Nidewalk leading to the building, and
lines extended far out into the street.
At the head of the stairs Dr. W. C.
Rucker, executive officer to Dr. Rupert
Hlue, the. Federal officer in charge of
the campaign, questioned, examined and
sw-ore in the applicants.
Dr. Rucker stated that E235 rats were
caught in traps last week by the sani
tary forces, besides the large but un
known number killed by poison. In one
district the men averaged 104 rats to the
man for the week. In the absence of Dr.
Blue, who Is out of the city, Dr. Rucker
is In charge and expressed himself as
being gratified at the interest taken and
energy displayed by citizens In the sani
tary .work and believed that a great deal
would be accomplished within tho ntext
few weeks, now that the co-operation of
the public had been obtained.
After being free from plague for over
a month, one case has been reported and

MOTHER CALLS SON FIEND
Isabella Martin Charges "Baby
John" W ith JIany Crimes.
OAKIjAND, Cal.. Feb. 17. The Tribune
this afternoon prints an interview with
Mrs. Isabella Martin in her cell at Wea
vervillo. Cal., in which she accuses her
sin. "Baby John" Martin, of being a
liond and directly charges him with the
insticHtion and execution of the dastardly
ads which he says she Inspired.
She describes him as a "fiend" whose
pleasure was always to torture animal
ivy sticking pins in them and cutting off
t.neir legs, she directly charges him
with the burning of the barn foT which
she is now locked up: with blowing up
Judjje Opden's houfe and with setting
tire, to Abe Leach's home. Alsovthat he
robbed the hotel at Redding, where they
were stopping, and spent the money in
slot machines.
LARGER ENGLISH NAVY
Thought Appropriations Will Be
Made to Increase Strength.
IjONDON. Feb. 17. In view of the
threatening attitude of that section of
the Radical party which advocates re
duction In armament, there has been
much speculation as to whether the gov
ernment will persist in the determination
reached on the advice of the Lords of
the Admiralty to submit increased naval
estimates to Parliament.
Those in position to know say they will,
and, backed by strong public opinion,
will be able to carry them through with
out difficulty. What these estimates pro
vide for In the way of new construction
is another question that has been much
discussed. A naval officer who, while
not admitting the possession of any In
side information, is nevertheless well in
formed, gives the following as the prob
able programme:
Three armored vessels of the improved
Dreadnaught type; ships that will em
body many changes devised after the
thorough trials which the first of this
class has passed.
Two cruisers. Improvements on the old
Edgar class, 3500 tons, with a great ra
dius of action, enabling them to remain
at sea for long periods when engaged as
parent ships for torpedo craft or as
scouts or dispatch boats.
At least 12 torpedo craft, the ma
jority of them of the tribe class, two
of which, the Tartar and the Ghurka, re
cently ran their trials with much suc
cess. There also will be provision for
additional submarines, but of these the
Admiralty maintains the greatest se-i
crecy.
This is not looked'upon as a complete
answer to Germany's programme. That,
naval men say, will come next year,
even the critics of the policy of the
Admiralty admitting that the start Eng
land has secured will enable her to main
tain the two-power standard without
rushing work during the coming fiscal
year. Besides, the delay of 13 months
will allow her to learn something of what
other powers are doing and then "go
them one better," either by outbuilding
them or designing a ship that will be a
great Improvement over those now being
constructed.
Germany's refusal to agree at The
Hague to the proposal to prohibit the
placing of floating mines has caused
British activity in still another direc
tion. Heretofore this country has had
but two mine-laying vessels. Since The
Hague conference adjourned work has
been begun on the conversion of three
second-class cruisers for this purpose.
TRYING TO FORCE MATTERS
OWNERS ORDER ONE ENGINEER
TO BE DISCHARGED.
t
Wrangle Results, but Engineers
Will Do Nothing Till Alter
Association Meets.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 17. The Ship
owners' Association of the Pacific today
attempted to force a settlement of the
fight with the marine engineers that
has been going on for over a month,
by issuing the order that all vessels
under the control of the association
should discharge their second assistant
engineers as soon as the vessels reached
this port, and further requiring that all
vessels clearing from San Francisco
6hall sail with two engineers only, in
stead of three.
The order resulted in the putting out
of commission of the steamer Jim But
ler, and a long wrangle in the offices
of the United States Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger over the number of men
that should sail in the engine-room of
the Wm. Murphy, bound for Eureka.
This latter dispute was finally settled
by the changing of the license of the
Wm. Murphy to permit her to sail with
two engineers, and the vessel left port
with but two in her engine-room.
The Jim Butler arrived several days
ago, and this morning her owners
served notice upon Chief Engineer
Hans Olscn that he would be required
to make his next trip with but one
assistant. The Butler sails lor Sound
points, and the engineer immediately
refused to take the vessel out under
the new rules. After considerable dis
cussion, Olsen and his first assistant,
Carl Husby, left the ship. Her owners
have decided not to send her out again
until the. present controversy is settled.
Notwithstanding thte activity on the
part of the shipowners to force the ma
rine engineers to a decision, the engi
neers announced that' nothing will be
done in the matter until after the regu
lar meeting of the Marine Engineers'
Association Tuesday night.
It is extremely likely that at the
meeting the shipowners will be met
with their own' proposition, and that
the engineers' committee will be in
structed to arbitrate the differences be
tween the two organizations upon the
Indicated horsepower of the vessels,
taken in conjunction with the length
of the trip the vessels are supposed to
make. .

COUNCIL PLANS KILLING
Inner Circle Decrees Rival Tong
Men Must Die Testimony Is
Brought Oat at Trial of Boston
Chinese for Four Murders.
BOSTON,. Feb. 17. Testimony bearing
on the Inner workings of the Chinese
society, the Hop Sing Tong, a dozen al
leged members of which are now on trial
in the Supreme Court charged with
"shooting up" Chinatown last August,
when four Chinamen were killed, was
given in court today by Soy Pong,, a
Government witness.
The witness explained that he had been
a member of the Hop Sing Tong for four
years, and that Wary Charles,, one of
the defendants, said to be the richest
Chinaman in Boston, was president. He
then said in evidence:
"We had what we called a jury, con
sisting of ten men, who were officers,
and they held secret meetings. At one
of these meetings last July, which was
called by Wary Charles, the subject of a
raid on Chinatown was brought up.
Charles said that we would have to do
some killing and make the Chinese busi
ness men so afraid that all of them would
join our society. Charles said the best
plan was to send to New York, Phila
delphia and Chicago for hatchet-men,
who were unknown, so they might es
cape. He al that he would pay the
expenses, and that If any one got caught
he would hire attorneys for the defense.
I would not agree, and did not attend
any more meetings."
The four Chinamen who were killed
and the several others who were wounded
were members of the On Leong Tong, a
rival society of the Hop Sing Tong.

ERECT A SMELTER SOON
Montana Mining Association In Ses
sion at Helena.
HELENA, Mont, Feb. 17. The Mon
tana Mining Association tonight perfected
Its permanent organization by electing as
Its officers as follows:. President, M, L.
Hewctt, of Basin; vice-president, Thomas
L. Greenough, of Missoula; secretary, L.
B. Liindermann, of Helena, and treasurer,
R. A. Bell, of Helena.
President Hewett in his speech of ac
ceptance declared that with the co-operation
of the members of the association an
Independent smelter will certainly be
erected soon near , here. The report of
the resolutions committee declared that
"it has been demonstrated that the con
ditions affecting the reduction of ore, on
the part of the custom smelters, are
needlessly and unfairly restrictive and
apparently have for their ultimate pur
pose the absolute control of the produc
tion, treatment and marketing of the
precious metal production of the mines
of America."
Tho convention decided to take steps
"to protect the mine operators of Mon
tana against the danger of ultimate con
trol by the 'smelter trust.' "
The Montana Mining Association met
with more than 200 delegates. Every dis
trict in Montana, parts of Idaho and other
states are represented. This afternoon
resolutions were adopted declaring that
forest reserve officials are not complying
with the law through Inhibiting opera
tions thereon, and another resolution
charges collusion and fraud In the classifi
cation of Northern Pacific land grants, it
being charged that through underhand
methods ' the common carriers have
wrongfully secured possession of im
mense tracts of timber and mineral lands.
An amendment was offered appropriat
ing 1500 to defray the expenses of a com
mittee to go to Washington and lay the
matter before the President and request
that he send a special message to Con
gress on the subject. That an independ
ent smelter will be built by the operators
seems certain.

PLAN DEMONSTRATION FOR THE
FLEET AT SEATTLE.
Object to Express Interest of Local
Japanese in Voyage and to
Allay War Rumors.
SEATTLE, Wash.; Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Japanese business men of this
city are planning a reception for the
big American fleet when it arrives
in Puget Sound. This reception has
two purposes; first, to express for
Japanese here their interest in the
welfare of the ships and men that
have come all the way round the Horn,
and, sceond, to demonstrate the cor
diality of the relations existing be
tween Japanese and the United States.
It will be an unusual thing for for
eigners, owing allegiance to another
country, to welcome ships of the Navy
of the country In which they are alien
residents on a visit here, but the Jap
anese business men who have charge
of the arrangements are anxious to
prove to Admiral Evans and his men
that Japan regards the Pacific Ocean
visit of the fleet with friendly eyes.
"It will prove anew and prove forci
bly that there is nothing in therumors
of war between our two countries,"
says C. T. Takahashi, president of the
Japanese Association. "Our commit
tee will be appointed soon, and we will
then ask the co-operation of the
Chamber of Commerce in the arrange
ments. What we do and when we
do it, will depend largely upon the
length of time the men of the fleet
will have' to visit Seattle and the
number of entertainments they will
be offered by the various commercial
bodies here."

PAYING UP ITS DEBTS
Dominican Republic Given 80 Per
Cent Bonds and Rest in Cash.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The settle
ment of the' debts of the Dominican Re
public is rapidly nearlng a completion,
which is regarded as satisfactory to both
debtor and creditors and which reflects
favorably on the agents of the United
States Government, who have been In
strumental in carrying out the basis of
settlement. The recent financial disturb
ance Is given as the cause for the aban
donment of the plan first agreed upon,
whereby a Now York banking firm was
to purchase the bonds of the republic in
a sufficient amount to satisfy the credi
tors. In place of this plan the creditors
themselves have now agrceii to take
these bonds as payment of SO per cent of
their claims, while the remaining 20 per
cent is to De paid In caeii from the
$4,000,000 which has been accumulated, be
ing 65 per cent of the customs receipts of
the republic, now on deposit in New York.
Beside this judgment, the creditors of
the republic have consented to a reduc
tion of their claims to an amount ap
proximating 50 per nt. This reduces
the total debt from $30,000,000 to $17,000,-

tionately worded epistles In which ap
peals for money mingled with expres
sions of endearment.

he left an estate of $2,000,000. To hit
son Richard he left only an annuity of
$50 per year. To a grand-niece. May

year to the principal, until 20 years after
the death of his youngest grandchild,
then but five years of age. Richard Snell

on the ground that he was Insane about
women.
