Now the California Students Will
Return In Triumph From the
Eastern Tour.
DENVER, Cow., June 22.— The Califor
nia athletes closed their career of victories
in the East in a blaze of glory at the Den
ver Athletic. Club's Park, defeating the
representatives of the Denver Athletic
Clnb by a score of 62 to 22.
Never was there greater interest taken
in field sports and track athletics in Den
ver than to-day, when California's univer
sity giants and the Denver Athletic
Club's best men came together for a trial
of skill, strength and endurance. Bicycle
races hud been added to the programme to
insure more interest to the sport, but they
were unnecessary, as sufficient enthusiasm
had been aroused by the regular events to
attract the greatest crowd that has ever
gathered in this city to witness an athletic
contest. Never before have the athletes of
the setting sun set foot in Colorado and it
■was thought that the high altitude would
give the Denver boys an undue advantage,
but the atmosphere did not in anyway
affect the Californians..
Denver was handicapped to-day by the
loss of one of her best men, on whom re
liance was placed to win points. Russ
Woods, the little Colorado Springs
sprinter, who was expected to do wonders,
was called home last evening by a tele
gram announcing the death of his brother.
He was. therefore, unable to participate in
any of the events. The ladies turned out
in goodly numbers and showed their loy
alty by wearing the colors of both clubs.
The Californians were warmly greeted,
although unknown individually. ' The
track was in perfect condition for record
smashing, and several of the giants proved
equal to the emergency, R. W. Edgren
breaking his own record in the 16-pound
hammer throw, tossing the ball 127 feet 10
inches with a run ami follow. He also
made a new record of 126 feet in the stand-
ing throw. 'v^ •
Captain Kocb carried off the honors of
the day. securing two firsts* and one j
second, and would undoubtedly have
taken - another first had he been in first
class condition. His victory over Edgren in
putting the sixteen-pound shot was a sur
prise to every one, as Edgren is a giant in
physique alongside Koch. Koch won the
half-mile run with the greatest of ease,
breaking his own record and doing the
distance in 2:09. His high jump would
have been better if his side had not still
pained him. Dozier carried off the honors
in this event.
The 120-yard a hurdle was the prettiest
event of the day, Dyer and Torrey stepping
and jumping in perfect unison and seem
ing more like two machines than human
beings. At the finish 'Torrey dropped
behind a little, virtually conceding the
honors to Dyer.
In the 220-yard dash Scoggins won over
Barnes in "the fast time of 23 1-5 seconds,
but would have been unable to run an
other yard, as he was completely winded
at the finish. *
C. H.Woolsey covered himself with glory
in the running broad jump, doing 21 feet
2}4 inches with case, Dozier being second
with 20 feet 10]/ inches to his credit.
Denver had the twQ-mile bicycle race all
its own way, as Dozier, California's only
entry, was withdrawn. Denver also secured
5 and. 2 in the pole vault after a hard fight.
This was about the first pole vaulting the
Californians had ever tried, and their show
ing was- remarkably good.
"California Bill. Merwin came, on the
grounds as usual, i. c., thirty seconds ahead
of the call, and wobbled out a winner in the
one-mile walk. iHe could easily have dis
tanced Meredith, Denver's crack, but
slowed down "for company's sake," as; he
expressed it.
H. B. Torry, the only California entry in
the 440-yard dash, won against three of
Denver's best men in 55 1-5.
During the intermissions between the
events S. A. Swanbrough of Denver did
some record-smashjng that will open the
eyes of Eastern cracks of the wheel. His
lirst success was the quarter of a mile,
standing start, paced by tandem; which he
made in 31 1-5, breaking the world's record.
His second victory was the breaking of the
world's three-mile un paced, standing start,
record, Swanbrough going the distance in
7 mm. 33 sec. The best previous record
was 7:41 3-5.
W_ W. Hamilton of the Denver Wheel
men's Club made a new State record for
ope mile, paced with flying start, making
it in 1:53 2-5. !
Pippin and Hughes of Denver estab
lished a . new. world's . tandem one; mile
class A record, with flying start, going the
distance in 2:03 1-5. The best previous
record was 2:07. .
To-night the California athletes are jubi
lant over .their victories. All of ; th% men
are in the best of health/ and. spirits, arid
will start- for their* far western slopes at
2:40 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
Not an accident occured to the men of
either team. At 8 f. _. the Denver club
gave a reception in. honor of their vic
torious guests and a banquet, at which
toasts were drunk to the future prosperity
of the athletes in other and more' glorious

MADE A GALLANT STAND.
Bow the California))* Blotted Out the
Chicago Defeat.
DENVER, Colo., June 22.— Here the
silver city the sturdy little party of Cali
fornia athletes to-day made their last stand
for the blue and gold. .They were anxious
to blot out their Chicago defeat with an
overwhelming victory,. and they were
stimulated by the thought of gratifying
expectant loved ones soon to be seen in
California. All the strength of Colorado
was arrayed against them.
The Denver Athletic Club picked up its
team both from its own members and from
the universities of Colorado, and many of
the D. A. C. men had "upheld the blue
(Yale) or the orange (Princton) upon
Eastern fields. '*■ . '.;.';,". ' J;"J V '■-''■.'
The California team, though numerically
weaker, is physically stronger than it was
six weeks s ago. After the games the men
formed a permanent club in the interest of
the U. C. athletes. This evening they
were entertained by; the; Denver Athletic
Club. To-morrow afternoon • the' team
leaves for California. Vi'V'J'
WELCOME FOE TBE VICTORS.

Preparations are being made to give the
victorious university athletes a royal wel

committee composed of , Captain Hancock
of the Olympic Club's crack team. A. F.
Morrison, president, and J. B. Reinstein,
ex-president of the University Alumni As
sociation, and W. N. Friend, president of
the Associated Students of the university.
_ .It is not to be a university affair alone,
but an opportunity is to be given all those
interested ■ in athletics to express their, in
terest in and good will toward tho .boys
who have done so much honor to the youth
of California. = ;r ..' _.^i . : v
The team will return on Wednesday and
in the evening will be escorted to this side
from Oakland by the Reliance and 'Acme
Athletic clubs. They will reach the; foot
of Market street at 7:30 o'clock and will be
met by members of the Olympic Club,
alumni of the university and all the un
dergraduates who are in tbe vicinity or
can get here.
All others who are interested in athletics,
including the wheelmen, are invited •to
join in the demonstration. The members
of the team will be mounted on a coach
and, with a band, will be escorted up to
the Olympic Club rooms, where a recep
tion will be held and congratulations will
be in order. - ■. ... '■•*."
Professor George C. Edwards, the father
of track athletics at the university, and but
for whose good work the team would not
have gone East, is very proud of his boys.
"They are entitled to the thanks, of all
athletes in California," he said yesterday,'
"for what they have done will do more
than anything, that has happened to de
velop an enthusiasm for . track athletics.
But.much more than that, they are enti
tled to the thanks of the whole State for
having shown to the rest of the country of
what stuff the young men of California are
made."

Rumor Has It That Gladstone Is to

[Copyright, 1895, by the JCew York Times.]
LONDON. Eng.. June These are
truly revolutionary times. It has long
been an article of faith in British politics
complacently held by everybody that
WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE, ENGLAND'S GRAND OLD VLAiN.
nothing important ; could possibly happen
in Ascot week. We have changed all
that; The week now closed., has been one
sustained succession of wild political ex
citement, sensational political events arid,
turbulence, which opened.promptly.Mori
day morning by the spectacle of the Irish
publicly forcing the ..Government to ;. back
out of their Cromwell 'statue-.; project,
which created enough bad blood between i
them and the rank and file of the Liberals
to have lasted for the rest of j the session
had not larger things intervened. .. * . r "
Then came like a thunderbolt the Lon
don .Times'' announcement that Mr. Glad
stone had withdrawn his pair, which was
represented as -meaning, that' he had cut
loose from the support of Lord Rosebery 's
government. /Hardly * the Grand Old j
Man's retirement from the leadership it- |
self gave his 'party 'such.'a shock. The; j
thing has been minimized now by denials
and explanations to. less formidable pro- j
portions where people can view it as j
merely one of Mr. Gladstone's character- |
istic involved mystifications, which may I
mean any one of a 'dozen things all the
same. No one finds any meaning in it of I
warm loyalty to Lord Rosebery and his ill
starred fortunes. .-.'*-' ; - ..! .\ .

the practical and somewhat brutal episode
of. Campbell-Bannerman 's .defeat ■ last
night. • '•"'■'-'• ■.■*_• v ; 'VV \
, The burden of. the conviction in Liberal
circles to-night is that the Ministry' will
hold on and try to get a vote of confidence
Monday, when there will be a decisive trial
of strength.- Nobody knows clearly what
happened in the two Cabinet councils to-,
day, but this is the notion that leaked out.
My own feelings . are that there will be a
break-up next . week. All the Liberal
papers are making . a great \ hullaballoo
about last night's adverse , vote having
been achieved by a trick, and some even
impute personal dishonesty to Mr. Bal
four, but these talcs are valueless. /
It was not the opposition which won the
victory, but the Liberals that lost it. Mr.
Balfour's face was the color of a sheet when
it was announced. ;It was • the last' thing
that he. desired. The . truth -is ■ that the
English people are nervous at this moment
about: their army,'. especially about their
stores and ammunition, since cordite has
been adopted, and the House of Commons
reaily reflected this feeling in its vote. -
The; most curious .. thing ,in to-night's
cloud of rumors is the story that Mr. Glad
stone is to come back and lead the party in
the coming fight. It is not true, but it is a
touching proof of the despair, in .which
Lord Rosebery's mismanagement . nas
plunged: the .party. Whatever happens,
ann if there be a dissolution now, the
Liberals will meet a cruel beating." V Every
body is protesting that Lord -Rosebery
must not come back again.' "-.*.- •*"*.'

NEW YORK, N. V., June 22.— 1n a few
weeKs a deputation, consisting of officers of
the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions and others appointed by
the board for the purpose, will sail for
Japan, with full authority to examine
into the condition of the missions which
that organization has maintained there for
many years. . . V- . ; : yVI ' .
'Disquieting reports of the state of affairs
existing in Japan among the native Chris- :
tians with relation to the missionaries,
missions and' schools of the American
board have been prevalent for the last two
or.three years,- and have recently been the.
cause of much anxiety to the friends of
missionary work in that country, ; in con
sequence, the work there . has suffered to
some extent, arid, it is asserted, will con
tinue to suffer until the elements of dis
cord which 'have, arisen— either real or
fancied— have been allayed. .'_
It is with the view of obtaining the
exact facts in the case and in order that
the officers of the American board may be
correctly advised as to the nature of the
situation' in Japan that it has; been de
cided to send a deputation to institute a
thorough inquiry. The 7 deputation, con
sists of William P. Ellison of the pruden
tial committee, the Rev. Dr. James L. Bar
ton, one "of the foreign secretaries of the
board; Rev. Dr. James G. Johnson, pastor
of the New England .*.'* Congregational
Church, Chicago, and the Rev. Dr. A. H.
Bradford of Montclair, N. J.
The difficulty existing among the - Jap
anese Christians with relation to the mis
sionaries has arisen from various causes, as
it was explained by a prominent minister
yesterday, the chief one being the inde
pendent feeling among the former which
has prompted a desire to get rid of the lat
ter and sto "run ..the' machine alone." In
one instance quoted in a recent report to
the board all r the missionaries in the ;Ku
mamoto station ;, had their passports re
|turned to them and were told to vacate the
houses the board had built for " then.. :
"For more than a year," the report con
tinues, / "there I has 1 bee« jj trouble ". between
the missionaries arid the „ principal 'of the
boys' school in Kumamoto. Our mission
aries were located there at ; the -earnest re
quest- of ; the Christians and houses were
erected for them there just as in other sta
tions.'•'*.*-•' ;*~-^.-[.' ! ' V . ■
; 'Since Kumamoto is not an open port
s foreigners cannot'" live there without being
in- the employ vof the Japanese, nor can
they hold any real estate. save in the name
of a Japanese.' .Our, missionaries were em
ployed in a Christian school -„ and our
homes and lands were held by the officers
of the school. ./The present principal/of the
school has become very pronounced in his
liberal/views, .widely, differing from the
missionaries. ' Co-operation in such work
gradually became more and more "difficult.
"At the same time a cry against the for
eigners living in the interior in .houses
held in private names . was loudly raised
throughout the country, so that the Jap
anese who held such property everywhere
naturally desired to be relieved . from the
odium of helping"; foreigners in evading
the treaty obligations. • -.*:-_ r.V- .,.;/
"To make a long story short the princi
pal claimed that the missionaries' dwell
ings had been erected to aid the school, that
they belonged not only legally but morally
to the school for its purposes and not for
missionaries to live in while doing mis
sionary work. He requested- our mission
at last .to recall its teachers, and when
this was refused he returned them their
passports, declining to be any longer re
sponsible for their presence in Kumamoto.
Having, no Japanese employer the mis
sionaries are compelled to withdraw to the
open ports of Nagasaki and Osaka."
EAST AND WEST BENEFITED.
NEW YORK, N. V., June 22. The
Eastern press all sing the praise of the
CALL to-day in its great stroke. of se
curing its own leased wire from Chicago
with the United .Press, saying that it
shows great enterprise in Western jour
nalism and at the same time giving to the
East a more extended and better knowl
edge" of what '■ goes on in "the Western
country. So your power, for dissemina
ting good things for the Western States

AWAIT THE COMING OF DAWN.
With Daylight the Lines Will Move
Upon the Murderer's Last
Hiding Place. ...'
REDDING, Cal. .{June 22.— This city is
in a high state of excitement to-night, and
armed men are seen on every corner. At
10 o'clock this evening four carriage loads
of officers, detectives and Sheriff's posse
left here for Bandit Brady's hiding place.
Ever since the fatal day in May when
brave Sheriff Bogard fell before the deadly
aim of the murderer, Brady has made his
hiding place within a radius of four or five
miles from the scene of the hold-up and
killing at Wheatland. Only once has the
desperate robber left his safe retreat near
the scene of his exploits, and this de
parture will be the means of placing him
in the hands of justice before many hours.
To-day at 12 o'clock Brady appeared at
the house of a colored family named Johns
living on Spring Gulch, four miles from
the scene of Wednesday's fight between
him and Bowers and Martin, and eight
miles from Redding. The Johns family
were away and their daughter was the
only occupant of the house when he ap
peared and asked for dinner. The girl had
heard of him and at once recognized him.
He was lame and nearly exhausted. A
dark slouch hat was pulled well down over
his eyes and while devouring the meal
which the frightened girl provided the rob
ber kept his hat on and his eyes hidden. He
said he had traveled many miles that day
and told the Johns girl he was hunting for
the robber. He talked very ; little, but
asked if many men were hunting Brady
and inquired of her if any had been there
lately. She told him that three had left
about a half hour before he came.
On being told in which direction they
went Brady arose and, without letting his
face.be seen, started from the house in an
opposite direction, going west. Word was
at once sent to the officers nearest. the
place, and; in a few minutes the Johns
homestead was alive with man-hunters. "■
To-night 200 men surrounded, a. piece of
land some four miles square, and at the
breaking of dawn '.will close in .on the
murderer and capture him.
Brady has all along been in close hiding
within a radius of three or four miles from
the scene of. his latest exploit, Clear Creek.
He has eked out an existence by eating
fruit from the . orchards of the farmers in
the vicinity. .One farmer in the neighbor
hood has been missing blackberries and
other small fruit the last two days, and at
night the watchdogs were uneasy and
showed by their actions that some one was
lurking near. The theory of some, that
the wounded man who is now being run
to earth is not Brady, has been quashed,
for it has been proved without a doubt that
it is he. - .'/;/; yi-V.VjV- -./,:!?
This morning the three Apache Indians
who trailed Sontag and Evans arrived on
the overland and j were taken to the scene.
It is said they trailed Brady to the spot
where now the hundreds of armed men
are preparing to close in upon him. Spe
cial Officer Britton and posse of two men
arrived at the Johns house to-day, just
half an hour before Brady got there. /
A letter from' the posse. at Johns, re
ceived to-night, states that Brady is in a
bad condition, and that he will, without
doubt, be captured by to-morrow. Mar
shall Gard and posse left this morning for
Whisky town; from which place they are
following down Clear Creek. A report that
Brady was headed up . that creek caused
them to go there. .. . •;•- /**. •
