SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10. Jack Winters,
who was nrrefcted for tho Selby Smelting
works robbery, lias confessed tho crime
and bo far 1 11,000 worth of bullion has
been recovered from the buy, where he
had sunk It. For three days the detectives
havo trlod all sorts of Intimidation 'o
make Winters confess, but their threats
apparently had no effect upon him. Finally
he asked to bco Superintendent Ilopp of the
works, who ho said was the only friend he
had. In his conversation with Hopp, Win
ters' wanner Indicated that he knew whcio
the gold bars had been hidden. Hopp
told him that they had a strong case
against him and that he would be sent to
prison for thirty years. He said:
"You will be mi old man when you got
out and It will do you no good to hide the
gold. Wc know It Is hidden In the water
noar the works, nnd wo will search every
inch and you may be sure that the gold
will be found before you get out of prison."
Winters finally weakened and told Hopp
that no had taken the gold and would take
him to tho spot where It was hidden. The
criminal, In company with Superintendent
Itonp and a force of detectives, left on a
tug last, night for Crockett. There they
waited all night tor low tide.
Under Four 1'eet of Mild.
Winters pointed out the placo at the end
of tho railroad wharf behind the coal
bunkers at tho beginning of tho Vallcjo
ferry slip. At that point at low tide tho
mud Is about four feet deep, covered by
toot of water. When tho tug Ilrst reached
Crockott Winters pointed out tho spot In
the water whoro he said he had thrown
tho gold. Superintendent Hopp marked the
placo on tho chart and tho tug steamed
away tp wait for low tide. This morning
Winter himself got Into tho mud and
water up to his neck and for an hour and
half STored for the missing bullion. Up
to 10 -o'clock 1110,000 worth had been re
aVovered. This Includes tho four bars of
fine gold. Winters had put some of the
bars In bags. He said that ono of tho
bags had broken aud some Htnall bara had
dropped out. It Is now only a question
of careful search to find tho rest of tho
1280,000. Winters claims that ho did tho
Job all alone. Ho says that ho made four
teen trips from the vault to tho wharf
from which he dropped tho gold. Tho
smelter officials, however, aro positive that
ho received assistance from someone. Tho
detectives think that his story that he did
It all himself la correct. Tho tug, with
the detectives and tho prisoner, Winters, on
board, has returned to this city.
Tell How He Did It.
Winters, when ho had mado up his mind
to tell all he know about tho crime, was
exceedingly willing to glvo all tho In
formation that was necessary toward tho
rccovrry of tho gold. Ho practically as
sumed charge and led Captain Seymour
and Superintendent Vondcrop to tho rock.
Ho acted more Uko ono of tho detectives
employed on the case than a prisoner. As
soon as ho arrlvod at tho water's edge he
railed tho superintendent to his sldo and
eald:
"Now, watch what I am going to show
you. Ho careful that you get tho loca
tions right."
Stooping, ho picked up three stones and,
pacing forward, ho tossed ono of them
jnto the water. It fell to tho south of
the spot at which tho prisoner stood. An
other stone fell to tho east and tho third
was thrown directly In front of Winters.
"That," said the prisoner, "will mark the
water boundary of the, placo whoro your
gold Is hidden."
Stepping to tho left Winters drew a nail
from his pocket und asked for a hammer.
He then paced off a few yards to tho right
and drovo another nail In tho timber.
"Tho gold," ho continued, "will bo be
tween theso two nails, Bomowhero In lino
with the spots marked by tho stones I
Just threw into tho water."
A small boat was secured and Into It
Sheriff Voile, Dctcctlvo Kimball of tho
Plnkerton agency and two laborcrn were
loaded. Winters assisted in tho search
for tho brick. He talkod alt tho whllo.
Tho deep mud finally put a stop to opera
tions and It was decided to build a coffer
dam before trying to recover the rest of
the treasure.
Plnuneil It Long: Aro,
Winters told tho officers that ho planned
tho robbery long ago with minute detail.
He had been two or three months working
on his llttlo tunnel. It had taken two
nights' labor to cut through tho brick wall
of the smelter. .Most of the boring In the
bottom of tho vault had been done on the
night when tho gold was taken. Ho car
ried tho plunder, which was very heavy,
from the vault to tho water nnd deposited
it whoro tho water was from three to six
feet doep at low tide.
Tho distance from the vault to tho cacho
was about a quarter of a mllo and ho mado
fourteen round trips. Ho was at work for
four hours on Monday night. Tour small
bars of rcllticd gold he concealed among
tho stones of the breakwater, Just at tho
further mouth of the railroad tunnel. His
purpose had been to use this gold for pres
ent needs. Winters, on his hint trip, had
perceived that dawn was breaking. Not
daring to complete tho trip ho laid on Un
shorn the two bricks which were found
Tuesday morning at tho point where the
robber's boat was supposed to havo landed,
Tho trail of red pepper ending at that
point had been a blind.
In view of tho fact that promises of
clemency wero mado to Winters l!i con
sideration of his unearthing tho gold It Is
thought that his punishment will be light.
Detective Gibson Is quoted as saying that
It was promised Winters by President
Halston ot tho Selby Smelting works that
ho should not only not be prosecuted, but
should receive 125,000.
CHECKS HOUSE OF COMMONS

Demonstration In the IIIk-K-M

(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON. Aug. 10. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Tho duke of
Marlborough's unionist demonstration at
Ulcnhelm palace today was tho biggest
thing of Its kind ever organized for any
private park. Gathered there wero ten
cabinet ministers, 4,000 delegates from all
ports of tho United Kingdom and many
notablo social celebrities, Including thrco
dukes and duchesses.
So Important was this event regarded
by the government that to preclude tho
possibility of a prolonged sitting ot tho
House of Commons on Friday night, ren
dering It Inconvenient for the unionist
members to go to Blenheim, Arthur Hal
four Introduced his revolutionary new rule
depriving tho houso of Its immemorial right
of dividing against each Individual vote '.n
supply. Until five years ago Parliament
could not bo prorogued until everyone of the
150 votes In supply had been separately
submitted and It need bo discussed. Mr.
Halfour then Introduced n rule allotlng
twenty days for the supply during the ses
sion, all votes not pnsscd at that time to
be automatically closured without discus
sion on the twcnty-tlrst day.
Thin year 100 votes,' representing $330,-
000,000, remained undiscussed. If tho houso
had exercised the right to divide on each It
would have taken sixteen hours, protracting
the sitting until today and thus Interfering
with the IHenhclm demonstration. Hut Mr.
Halfour Introduced and had passed on
Wednesday another new rule depriving the
house of this right and limiting tho possible
number ot divisions to ten.
Tho duke of Marlborough and fifteen mon
of tho Huckfl yeomanry went to tho war In
South Africa. Two of the men died of en
teric fever. The duke and tho thirteen
others returned unscathed. In com
memoration of this martial record the In
habitants of Woodstock havo presented to
the duko and his comrades a silver cup
apiece. The presentation was made by tho
duchess with great Btate ceremony. Tho
duke, in returning thanks, recounted with
gusto tho achievements of his gallant com
pany. Tho silver cup has been reverently placed
besldo the war trophies of the first duko
of Marlborough, perhaps tho most re
nowned of all England's great warriors.

BERLIN, Aug. 10. All ces In Germany
aro turned today on Cronbcrg. Public In
terest' In the deceased dowager empress
during her widowhood was slight and she
did everything possible to retire from pub
lic view and avoided every semblance of
political activity. The latter fuct has
softened tho Judgment of even the un
bending Junker organs, which once perse
cuted her m.-Jesty, nsj.illlng he most sharply
when at tho very acme of power.
The dowager eiipreso' death reveals tho
fact that tho autocratic extremists had
largely mcdllied their Judgment, or at least
had Ignored their points of difference.
They praise her for her humanity, her
tenderness, nursing of sick in war, her
Interest In Industrial art and the practical
advance she made In these lines. They
also praise her activity In promoting fe
male education and In the advancement of
women. The most conservative papers
praise the latter feature of her character
unstintedly. The newspaper comment par
takes largely of the character of reminis
cence, pointing out that the deceased was
one of the last links binding Germany of
today with tho great historical events ot
thirty or forty years ago.
While the nation has thus been engaged
In recounting the story of the life of the
dowager empress her relatives havo been
assembling at Cronberg for tho funeral.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra ar
rived there today and Prince Henry of
Prussia, who Is now steaming up the chan
uel, is expected to arrivo at Hrcmerhaven
Sunday or Monday, too late for the serv
ices at Cronberg, but In time to attend
the burial at Potsdam.
Other Til n n Itelnt Ires.
Great crowds of curious people are ar
riving at Cronbcrg. All tho hotels there
uro overflowing aud all the windows aro
engaged for tomorrow. Cronberg is over
run with English people In deep mourning.
King Edward, with Queen Alexandra, will
go to Potsdam, "fheu his majesty will ro
,turn to Cronberg alone, vhero be will tako

In the snmo stylo as when he wan prince
of Wales.
Tho coflln of tho deceased dowager em
press, which has been sent from Dcrlln to
Cronberg, Is of the English style, with a
flat cover, not tho German pyramidal style.
Tho deceased herself designed tho rosettes
ornamenting the cover and also designed tho
coflln. Tho train which is to bring tho
funeral party to Postdam has been pre
pared at Frankfort. Tho car which will
carry tho coffin Is trimmed with English
mourning colors, lilac and white, and la
richly ornamented within and without.
Other cars havo been provided for tho
funoral party.
The emperor has been as busy as usual
with tho a if a Irs of state. Ho worked at his
ofllco nearly all day yesterday and then lato
In the evening took a walk In the park with
Count von Buelow.
Papers of various shados of opinion glvo
expression to tho complaints of theatrical
peoplo and musicians at tho orders Issued
for tho closing of tho theaters until tho
funeral Is over and print letters "to tho
editor" mildly protesting. Tho various In
terested persons havo petitioned tho em
peror to make exceptions In their case, but
no answer has been given.

Whllo Field Marshal Count von Waldcr
seo's arrival In Germany was naturally
overshadowed by tho sad event at Cronberg,
tho whole tono of the press and tho attitude
of tho crowds during Count von Waldersce's
trip yesterday from Hamburg to Hanover
Indicate that Germany takes a much more
sober view of Von Waldersee's mission now
than was tho case a year ago. The more In
fluential newspapers rcvlow tho field mar
shal's work appreciatively, but Implying
that everybody In Germany had formed ex
aggerated notions of tho task before him.
Vou Wolderseo is descrlbod as deeply
bronied, but as having tho same elastic
step as ever. Yesterday, at Kassel, his
old military friends welcomed him on his
way to Hamburg. Whllo the train waltod,
Von Waldcrseo entertained them with his
China experiences, which called forth roars
of laughter. Tho field marshal will dlno

Schloss today. Ho returns to Hanover to
morrow. It Is understood that Von Waldcr-
seo's reappointment as Inspector of tho
Third army corps Is In accordance with nn

(Copyright. 1901. by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Aug. 10. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) It is a
matter of much surprise hero that Howard
Gould had his yacht Niagara land him at
Boulogne, where he took the first train for
Trouvllle and went to tho home of his
brother-in-law, Count Bonl do Castellanc.
As the two never hav- been on tho best
terms possible, the pi' ' such a hur

Mrs Gould did not ipany her husband,
but remnlncd on ,? Niagara, which pro
ceeded to Cowc Jcdlately. Mr. Gould

The Flgf ase, in which tho Castel
lanes wc .icsrned, Bonl having fought
a duel Portland do Hodays. one of
the editors, and his father, the marquis,
taking a hand In crowding both editors
out, Ins ended In a victory for the two
editors, Pcrlvler and De Hodays. They won
their suit npalntt the board of directors,
which was seeking to oust thorn. The most
Interesting feature of the case was tho
disclosure of the role said to have been
played by tho Marquis de Castellanc. It
was rcprcBcntcd that tho old marquis,
who was called by the opposing counsel
"n needy busybody of no consequence what
ever," had paid for years a certain sum
to the Figaro editors for the right to edit
the financial columns, and It was asserted
that he boomed or attacked certain enter
prises or stocks, according as tho inter
ested parties were generous toward him.
It was testified that the marquis' main In
come was derived from this editing of
financial Information until he was dismissed
by M. de Hodays. As for Count Honl'B self
supporting methods, ho contents himself
with booming his own brand of chnra
pague, but his commercial activity is said
to be such that the house committee of tho

tlonory outbreak on tho Isthmus. Theso
tw i troubles aro quite distinct, ono on the
wcit and tho other on the cast ot Colombia.
Tho Ranger, which has been ordered to
get In readiness at San Dlcgo, Cal., for
Panama, Is a Bmall cruiser of 1,120 tons
displacement and has been engaged for
somo time past In surveying work down on
the Pacific coast and In Central American
waters. It Is very possible that Its services
at tho seat of trouble will stidlco and that
a battleshli will not bo obliged to mako
the long trip down from tho north.
The Hanger has a main battery of six
4-Inch rapid-fire guns and n secondary
battery of four 6-pounders and a Colt
gun. It has a complement of twenty-one
officers and 117 men and Is In command ot
Commonder Wells L. Field.
As tho battleship Iowa reported Its ar
rival at Hromerton today, while the battle
ship Wisconsin has not yet been heard
from, It Is probable that the former may
bo substituted for tho prospective trip to
the Pacific side ot tho Isthmus If It Is do
elded to Bend a battleship, although tho
formal announcement of tho change was
not mado up to noon today.

In love. After tits death In Paris she
wedded Baron Kamonoff, an old Ruoslan
general, who died thrco days lator, leaving
to her all bis fortuno.
Tho baroness remained absolutely Igno

PITTSBURG, Pn., Aug. 10 Tho great
steel strike Is on. The general order of
President Shaffer of tho Amalgamated as
sociation became effective today and thou
sands of workers left their places to ro
turn at some Indefinite time In tho future,
either victorious over tho Ironmasters or
In defeat.
Tho order to strike was generally oboyed
wherever tho workers were organized and
enrolled in the lodges of tho Amalgamated
association, but It will bo Monday beforo
an accurate count can bo mado of tho mon.
who havo gone out. A great majority ot
the mills closo down on Saturday and re
open Sunday night and the true test of tho
strength of tho contending aides will bo
furnished by the number of men who re
turn to work tomorrow or Monday.
The policy of tho Amerlcnn Federation of
Labor has not been fully disclosed yot nnd
that fact contributes nnother elumcnt of
uncertainty to tho situation. Tho notion
of the e.xecutlvo board of tho mine workers
nt Iudlannpolls today In resolving to sup
port tho strike cheered tho Amalgamated
men and they aro contldent that the Fed
eration will aid them to tho fullest extent.
So Demonstrations.
Tho closing houra of labor and tho open
ing hours of tho strike lacked spectacular
features. This city, which is tho Btrlko
center, was calm and undisturbed. Thorn
was no excitement. Tho police olllclals
here Issued an orddr suspending for tho
tlmo being tho vacation system. Thoy do
not anticipate trouble, but want to havo
every man hero and ready for duty In caso
It should come. They say that President
Shaffer has counseled peaceful methods nnd
that they hope tbo strikers and tholr sym
pathizers will heed his advlco. Tho strikers
held a series of demonstrations in tho out
lying towns nnd President Shaffer spoke
a flnnl word of encouragemont to his Indus
trial troops. Groat throngs of workers
turned out to greet and cheer the leader
and exchange pledges to maintain tho con
test upon which they entered.
A striking development ot tho day was
an official announcement trom tho Ameri
can Tlnplate company to tho effect that
certain plants of tho company crippled by
tho strike would bo dismantled and re
moved to Monesscn. Tho formal announce
ment, given by W. Leeds to the Asso
ciated PreBs after a lengthy conferenco ot
tho officials ot the company, follows:
Tho ofllcerH of the American Tlnploto
company authorlzo tho following Htato
mcnt:
Since the relntlons between tho Amorlcnn
Tlnplnte company and the workmen .it
Monegscn havo been mutually cntlsfnctory,
Insuring steady and prolltablo operation,
It has been determined to more than doub o
the plant at thut point nnd some of thn
mills now Idlo on account of tho strike,
declared In violation of tho contract sUncd
by tho Amalgamated ntBoclatlon, will lo
dismantled and moved to MoncsHcn. Un
doubtedly thla will bo done In thu cisj
of theso works In which the sentiment of
the employes delays tho resumption or
work.
Gu Out nt Itlterslile riant.
Tho men at the largo Hlvcrsldo Iron
works, Wheeling, W. Va., oboyed tho ordor
of President Shaffer and came out on a
Btrlko this morning. This plant wns bolng
operated as a nonunion mill.
The strike at the Hlvcrsldo plant of tho
National Tube works at Benwood, W. Va.,
came earlier than was expected. At 2
o'clock this morning when the men In tha
plate mill where tho skelp for tho tuba
works la rolled finished tholr turn thoy
dropped their tools and announced to tbo
management that they would not be back
on Monday. They wero tho first men
throughout tho country to obey tho general
strike ordor of President Shaffer. Tho mill
had been operated as a nonunion plant and
the men wero only recently organized. Tho
Amalgamated leaders expected that the men
would hold another meeting nnd feared that
opposition to tho strlko would develop.
There were 610 men employed In tho plato
mill, but only one-half of that number
were engaged on tho turn which finished nt
2 o'clock this morning. It Ib feared that
tho men on the other shift will support thn
strlko and refuse to go to work when the
next turn commences. Tho action of tho
Riverside men greatly pleases tho strlko
leaders and thoy claim the tlo-up thero
will bo general. No statement as to tho
situation Ib obtainable from tbo steel olll
clals. It Is believed hero that accurato figures
as to tho numb'-r of tho mffn that obey tho
general Btrlko order will not bo nbtalnablo
until tomorrow night. IVltli tho last turn
today all mills closo and remain closed until
tomorrow night, when tho next turn Is sup
posed to commence. Tho truo test will bo
furnished by tho number of mon who put
In on appearance tomorrow night. Thou
sands will avow their Intentions at tho
closo ot work today, but thoro aro points
whero sentiment Is divided and men waver
and places whero tho steel corporation has
known strength and an accurato count can
only bo mado when tho men tako their final
stand.
DlHiuiintlliiK Deivees AVooiI I'lnnt.
Telegrams from McKoesport announco
that 150 men began today thn dismantling
of the big Dowees Wood plant. Several
cars wero backed Into tho yard and a num
ber of rolls wero token down nnd loaded
on them. Tho strikers say that only old
machinery Ib being removed anil that tho
corporation Is not serious In tho mattor.
As a counter movo to thn ordor of thn stool
corporation an Independent plant backed
by local business men Is started. Tho cap
ital Is placed at $500,000, of which Enter
prise lodgo of tho Amalgamated association
la said to hove pledged $80,000. John W.
Painter, J. K. Skolly and James B. Kuhn
aro nmong thoso named as promoters of tho
rival enterprise Jacob Moycrs, foreman
of tho Demmler plant of tho American Tin
Plato company, has received orders to fonco
thn works In and tho ordor Ib taken as an
Indication of a movo to reopen tho works
with nonunion men. It Is sold that thn
Carpenters' union will rofuso to build tho
tenco aud that tho olllclals ot tbo mill will
