Jan. 19.— Cetton defeated Spinks to-day in the third game of the 18-inch bp-lk line tournament by a score of 260 to 249. This leaves the question as regards the player who Is to be left out tfae money still undecided. Had Slinks won this afternoon he would have been sure of fourth money, with a fair chance /or third. His victory last night over Schaefer gave him confidence, but • b, after getting warmed up, began piling up the caroms in a most disheart ening way and in the eighteenth Inning took the lead with a clever run of 30. Bpii ks came back with a pretty cluster of 44. but the Rook Island boy was not to he denied, and returned the compli ment with a run of 34. to which he added 56 in the twenty-first inning, prac tically < llm'hing the game Spinks made three double-figure runs in the next ten innings, but offset them with three singles and four goose eggs. Then Catton in turn lost his grip, allow ing Spinks to creep up on him. He, how over managed to stay long enough to run the game out in the thirty-eighth in ning. The score: Catton— lo, 0. 0, 3, 0.

There will be launched from the Union Iron Works shipbuilding yards, for the Japanese Government, next Saturday at 1025 a. m., one of the handsomest crutsera that has left the stocks in many a day. Her keel was laid on May 3, 1897 and on June 26 of the same year the first rivet was driven. The work of construction, under the supervision of two' officers detailed by the Japanese Government, has proceeded rapidly, until now the vend is ready for launching. She is 402 feet two inches over all. and her displacement is 4760 tons on a normal draft of seventeen feet seven and a half inches. Her indicated horsepower is 15.500 and her speed will be twenty-two and a half knots. Her armament will be most effective and the new cruiser will prove to be a most valuable addition to the Japanese navy. MANY CALLED, FEW CHOSEN A Vast Host Preparing to Seek. Riches on the Klondike. Only a Select Few, However, Will Have Their Dreams Fulfilled. To the Great Majority Will Coma tho Bitterness of Blighted Hopes. The Klondike craze Is growing with leaps and bounds. Old hulks that at i other times men could not be pprsuad | ed to go to sea In are being pulled out I of their retirement and put Into com mission. Steam schooners and col liers are being turned Into passenger i vessels and even an old bark that for merly carried crude petroleum from Ventura to San Francisco is being fitted out to carry miners from Seattle :to Dyea. River steamers for the Yu < kon, there will be In plenty, but It Is very doubtful whether all the people j who have made up their minds to ■ reach the gold fields by that route will 1 ever reach St. Michael. At the present time there is not half enough vessels to carry all who want to go from San Francisco and the Sound to Dawson City via the river route. Dawson City, however, Is not the only Eldorado In view. At least one j party will start the latter part of j April for Kotzobue Sound and other ex peditions to the same field are In the course of formation. Captain B. Co- j gan is at the head of the party that will leave here on April 25. They have bought the whaling bark Alaska, and after receiving a thorough overhauling on the dry dock she Is now having ac- ; commodatlon for 110 passengers put In. j Of this number of berths nearly all j have been taken and the chances are j another vessel will have to be put on the route. Among thope going on the Alaska are W. Alston Hayne Jr. and a party of nine from Santa Barbara. Mr. Hayne Is the County Supervisor from that part of the country and is Antonio Lauteri Carried Down by the Sinking of His Fishing Launch. After a desperate struggle with the waves and tide for almost an hour Gaetan Lanteri, an Italian fisherman, staggered into the life saving station south of the Cliff House yesterday aft ernoon and announced the capsizing of his fishing launch, the Two Sisters, and the drowning of his brother, An tonio Lanteri. While fishing for crabs off the coast a heavy swell struck the frail craft full broadside and turned it bottom up, throwing both men into the water. The hf avy machinery of the vessel car ried the launch to the bottom and with THE SAN FRANCTSCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1898. well known In Southern California. Col onel Stuart Wright of Fresno will for sake his duties as a national guards mdn and will also seek his fortune on Kotzebue Sound. E. J. Pringle and W. H. Chickering, sons of the San Francisco attorneys, will also be pas sengers by the Alaska. Others who will pass the Yukon by in the race for gold are U. S. Champion. John Sherriett, E. O. Bates. J. E. 1 Tucker, E. J. Davis, F. W. Dicke. C. A. Haehl, C. W. Stalvu. W. A. Nourse, Frank Brazil, J. E. Rhodes,. Thomas ! Fennell, Stewart McClure and two others, F. Bray, R. G. Kenzie, R. A. Barclay and A. A. Eubanks. Each of the passengers by the Alas ka will take 3000 pounds of stores with him. Besides that the vessel will carry E^o^h o f t ne passengers by th<* Alas ill take 3000 pounds of stores with Besides that the vessel will carry the machinery and lumber for a stern wheel steamer, which will be called the John Riley, and also the material for a large frame building, which is to be erected cm the Kowak River as a store house. The agreement with the pas sengers is that before starting In pros pecting they shall assist in putting to gether the steamer and In building the storehouse. The first stopping-place will be at Cape Blossom. There the bark will be left in charge of keepers and the John Riley will be put together. All the stores and the lumber for the house will be loaded on her and then the entire party will go- 200 miles up the Kowak River. When the house is erected all the provisions and stores will be placed in it and the miners will have then two or three months in which they can do their prospecting. The chances are that considerable gold will be found, as it was always in the summer months that the Indians made their finds and afterward returned with the nuggets to Point Hope to buy stuff : from the whalers. From Cape Blossom the Alaska will i be sailed to Point Hope, which is only 135 miles distant, and from there will , bring back to the Kowak River a sup ply of coal for the river steamer. There is a coal mine at Point Hope and Cap- I tain Cogan says that it is a very supe ; rior article. Indians and dogs are there i In plenty, so in that respect and also ! in regard to fuel the men on this expe- I dition will be more fortunate than those in Dawson City. The chances are that all the sailors engaged to man the "Alaska will desert in order to search for gold and in that event Captain Co can will bring the vessel back to San Francisco with an Indian crew. When north on whaling expeditions Captain Cogan has often employed the Indians, and he says they make first-rate sail ors. On his way down he will stop at St. Michael to bring back a party of returning Klondikers. The steam schooner National City is to be transferred into- a first-class pas senger steamer, and on February 7 will make her first trip to Dyea under the flag of the Yukon Transportation Com pany. She is a sister ship to the Excel sior and last season made some of the quickest trips between San Francisco and St. Michael. The lumber to be used DEATH BENEATH THE WAVES. it the body of the unfortunate fisher man, who became entangled in the rigging. Gaetan managed to extricate himself from the boat and swam toward the shore, but as he was heavily encum bered he made little headway until he freed himself from his rubber cloth ing. After a swim of more than a mile he finally reached the beach, where he lay exhausted for some time before he could make his way to the life saving station. Captain Varney immediately ordered out the boat, but the waves were pa In her transformation is now being got and ;i double force of men will be put to work on her on the 31st inst., when she la turned over to her charter-/ crs. The work of putting: up accommo- datior.s for 180 passengers is not ex pected to occupy more than six days, and on February 7 she will be on her way to I 'yea with a full passenger list, as a hundred berths have already been engaged. The same company will dispatch to St. Michael on May 1 the bark Rufus E. "Wood. On May 15 the ship Eclipse and May 25 the National City will take up the running. Both the sailing ves sels will carry coal in their lower holds for the use of the company's Yukon River steamers. The ship Eclipse will not come back from St. Michael, but will be anchored there and turned into a hotel. Ail the passengers from the company's steamers will be landed on her and transferred to the river steam ers on the arrival of the latter from Dawson City. Also if the steamer from San Francisco has not arrived when the river steamers get to St. Michael, the returning miners will be put aboard the Eclipse to await the coming of the San Francisco boat. Tiie launch Het tie 8., now on the Yukon, will be used as a tender between the ship and the shore, so that the guests of the floating hotel can come and go as they will. By using the ship as a hotel passengers will be saved the heavy charges In curred in transferring their baggage from the steamer to the shore at St. Mi chael. : tie is purchasing all the old de r-r»-;.!t re ■■ell on the toast that nobody \,is any use for. Some of the craft that will be put into commission on the Sound have been ready for the bone yard for years, and not a captain in San Francisco could be hired to take them to sea. Some o? them are fairly good; others again are regular death traps, and yet these boats are to be put in commission to carry miners from Se attle to Dyea. Several boats have been ■old within this last few days, among: them being the old Louis Walsh, Enoch Talbot and now the old Theobald. The \V,;lsh has lons ago outlived her use fulness, the Talbot when she could be used for nothing else was turned into ■i tank boat, and even at that she was a failure, while the Theobald changed hands many months ago. and was re cently sold again for $1400. At that time her new owners did not know whether to break her up or turn her into a coal hulk. It was found that she was not good enough for the latter pur ; . and orders were given to disman tle her, but before anything was done Si ittle people came along, and, it is said, paid $5500 for the old-timer. The bark Edward May, now on her way here from the East, via Honolulu, has been sold to Alexander & Baldwin of this city. The purchase price is said t.i )<>■ $19,006, and the vessel will prob ably be put in the Klondike trade when sh.> roaches this port. Negotiations are dow pending for the purchase of the ship Yosemite for the same trade, and Captain Fullerton, who has been mas ter of her for eleven years, has been transferred to the bark Harry Morse. A new master will command the Yo semite when she goes into the Klondike trade. Hawaii is also to send her quota of miners to the Klondike. A corporation calling Itaelf the Kohala Klondike Company has been incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000. and C. T. and A. C Ostrom will arrive from Hono lulu f>n the next steamer to outfit here. The two miners know the country well to v.hich they are going, and every body In Hawaii expects to come back loaded down with nuggets. Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal.

Some wreckage floated near the spot where the boat went down and told the story. Lanterl was put in bed and rubbed by people in the vicinity until he was able to go home, but last night he had almost succumbed to the shork and lay in a stupor at his home in Flint alley, be tween Vallejo and Battery streets. Antonio Lanteri leaves a young widow, to whom he was married but five months ago. Gaetan. the elder broth er, has a wife and five children, who are now in Italy on a visit. THE EMPORIUM.

Transaction. Obtains a Check Book From the Cashier After Telling a Smooth Story. Subsequent Use of It Leads to His Arrest at Los Angeles— A Man of Many Aliases. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO. Jan. 19.— A good-ap ! pearing man went into the American I Exchange Bank at Fourth and D THE EMPORIUM. streets Tuesday afternoon, and, repre senting himself as Frank McKeen, ex pressed a desire to make a draft on the McKeen Savings Bank of Terre Haute, Ind.. for $800. He explained to Cashier N. T. Horton that he was a newcomer here and expected to remain some weeks to enjoy the mild climate. His father, he said, was president of the McKeen Savings Bank of Terre Haute. A blank draft was handed to the man, who went out. He came back soon af terward and remarked that as he in tended to buy a fruit ranch near San Diego he had decided to draw on the Terre Haute bank for his entire balance of $2SOO, and would make the draft for that amount. This was done and the stranger left. Before going, however, he told Cashier Horton that he intended to leave yes terday morning for San Francisco and would probably have occasion to draw on the amount as soon as the money ar rived from Indiana. "Could you oblige me with a check book?" asked the man, pleasantly. "Certainly," replied Cashier Horton. "But you do not expect to draw any checks before the money is placed to your credit here, do you?" "Oh, no," responded the stranger, with a smile. After the bank closed Tuesday after noon the man calling himself McKeen went across the street to the Santa Fe ticket office and asked for a first-class ticket to Chicago and return, with Pullman accommodations. He told the ticket agent, George L. Baker, that he THE EMPORIUM. had been negotiating for the purchase of a ranch, but had changed his mind and meant to return to Chicago tempo rarily. He expressed regret that the Exchange Bank was closed for the day and that he was unable to tender cash for the ticket. Upon showing the check book, in which it appeared that he had $2SOO on deposit in the bank, the ticket was handed over. Later in the day the stranger gave equally worthless checks in payment for a bicycle and an overcoat, and this morning boarded the north-bound train. Presentation of the checks at the bank this morning caused the cashier to wire to Terra Haute, when he re ceived the reply that the only Frank McKeen known to exist was in that cify and had drawn no such draft. Chief of Police Russell was notified and he telegraphed to Chief of Police Glass at Los Angeles, who arrested the alleged McKeen late this after noon. Chief Russell will go after the man to-morrow. After the forgery was discovered to day a photograph of a noted crook ■wanted by the Pinkerton Agency was resurrected in the Exchange Bank and seen to be an exact likeness of the stranger now under arrest at Los An geles. It appears that the fellow's real name is "W. H. Geer, alias R. H. "W. Darght, J. B. Bowen, J. R. Mott, R. A. Myers, George If. Miles and Edward Lyons. He is believed to be one of the most dangerous confidence men In the country. 5
