Hendrick Killed in the Fight Which Followed. HIS MURDERER ALSO BADLY WOUNDED o8 to Mob of seaping from the Building He ¥light, Pursued by an Citizens—Captured SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—No erime committed in Sun Francisco since Stock Gambler Rip- pey shot down Millionaire John Mackay has croated so much excitement as the cruel murder today of Bank Cashier William Her- rick of the uptown branch of the San Fran- cisco Savings Unlon. The man who killed Herrick gave his name as Bonnemant, but borate tattooing on his arms and breast led to his identification as. William Fredericks, a notoric n- viet, for whom a large reward has been offered for nearly a year for shooting Drake- man Bruce of the Southern Pacific last June, and also for killing Sheriffl Pascoe of Nevada county while pursuing him. Frederick also accused of being an associate of Chris Evans, the train robber, and it is known that he furnished the arms with which George Sontag made his desperate break from Folsom prison last spring. Fredericks had evidently carefully planned his attack on the bank, selecting an hour when e knew that only the cashier and bookkeeper were present. He counted on getting about $10,000 which was in the trays, bat he did not reckon on the determinea resistance made by the cashier, who had a pistol in his drawer, nor on the presence of mind of Bookkeeper Melvin, who pursued him. 5 ex-c INTENDED TO KILL BOTH. Fredericks, who is an expert pistol shot, it is believed had planned to kill both men and then escape with the booty, When he presented the letter to the cashier and the latter threw it back, Frederick pulled his revolver andecried, “Stand back.” At the sume moment he pulled the trigger. The cap snapped, which gave Herrick time to get his pistol. . Iredericks had an extra cap’‘and an extra overcoat, so that the po- lice assume that his plan was to change his derby hat for the cap, slip off his ovey coat and thus escape. As it was he came near getting away, as no police were in the icinity ard the fugitive intimidated pass- ersby. with his .pistol. “Trederfcks talked freely this afternoon fnd was perfectly cool and self-possessed. He said le prepared a bottle of alcohol with a fuse, so that it looked exactly like .a small_dynamite bomb. This he slipped down on the counter in front of Herrick, with-a letter written in red ink demanding money. He iIntended the thing purely as a bluff, and expected to run if there was trouble, but before he could turn Herrick grabbed his pistol and fired straight at him. Fredericks says he felt something hit him in tho eye and then he became rattled and opened fire, hitting Herrick at the first shot. He expressed no contrition for the act. AVENGERS WERE AT HAND. Cashier Herrick was very popular and the indignation aroused by his murder led to the gathering of so large a crowd about the city hall and such strong threats of lynching that the prisoner will probably be removed to I the county jail %or safety. Herrick was 35 years of age and resided in Oakland. Fredericks is a good loking German of more than ordinary intellect. He writes German correctly, but his English is de- fective. He has had a good education and has read much. He has not less than sixteen fige; o8 tattooed in India ink on his arms and breast, and it is to his romantic fondness for these sailor decorations that he owes his identification. When first ught it was thought he was some fresh- Jy arrived anarchist, as his apers contained many anarchist documents, and he had threutened the cashier to biow up the bank with nitro-glycerine. As soon as he was identified It was seen at once that he had simply been dabbling in this dynamite literature as a cloak to his real plans, as he had burglar tools in his possession. He has shown repeatedly that he is a desperate man who would commit murder without compunction and his latest crime furnishes ample proof of this. ) IN COLD BLOOD, KI Refusal to Honor a Demand for Money Cots n Bank Cashier His Life SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.—A man went into the branch of the San Francisco Savings union. which s situated at the corner of Market and Polk stree ahout 9:30 o'clock this morning. He presented a written demand for money to Cashier William A, Herrick. The demand was refused, whereupon the desperado murdered the cashier and fled, but was captured a few blocks away. The note presented to the murdered eashier read as follow “Mr. Cashler: Sir—After considering my deplorable condition, 1 am ¢ inced that this life Is not worth living without desperate means, and therefore | am re- solved to make one mare cffort to s help to sustain my miseruble existence. Should you not comply with my demand I am compelled to employ my last remedy—a bottle of nitro-glycerine—and to by self under the ruins of the building, b to overlasting nothingness. Yours re- spectfully, A DESPONDENT MAN.” This note was penned in red ink and at the bottom was rudely sketched a skull and cross-bones. — After glancing at the docu- ment Herrick returned it to the man with & shake of the head. The man quickly drew a revolver and fired, but his aim was bad. Herrick seized his' pistol, which lay beside his desk. The cashier and desperedo fired at each other almost simultaneously, The former missed, but the latt second shot found its mark. The bullet passed into Herrick's heart As the murderer turned to flee Book- keeper O. 8. Melvin drew a pistol and sent @ number of bullets after him, two of which it was afterward discovered (ook effect. The assassin was pursued from the scene by a large crowd of people, among whom was a quantity of police oficors. The fugitive jumped into a wagon and drove several blocks. Finally iie turned into & blind alley and was forced to abandon the wagon, jumped over the fence into a yard and crawled under a vacant house There the officers located him, and though the murderer had a pistol In his possegsion he surrendered. Upon the prisoner were found two 45-call- ber pistols, a belt full of cartridges and a dirk knife, a razor and a fuse, such as Is used to iguite dynamite. Upon being taken to the city prison he gave his name as Fred Bownement “and said he came here from Denver last week.

It was not long before the police recognized in their prisoncr a desperate criminal, for whom the authorities throughout the state have been searching for wome time.

DENVER, March 23.—The feature today in the contempt proceedings was the argu- ment of Colonel John Taylor for the prose- cution. He bitterly scored ex-Mayor Platt Rogers of the defense, who admitted he had advised his clients to do the acts for which they were now being tried. Mr. Tay- lor wanted Mr. Rogers arrested and pun- ished for contempt with Mayor Van Horn and Commissioners Barnes and Mullins. Mr. Rogers concluded the argument and the case was given to the court Jate in the day. No decision is expected for some time. ‘The executive committee of the commit- tee of public safety held a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce today.

OMAHA, SATUR STILL A MATTER OF DOUBT President Oleveland's Position on the Seigniorage Bill, BOTH SIDES GET LITTLE SATISFACTION arnest Pleas and Argu- Sl Mave Probably b and therefore WASHINGTON, March caure |t cabinet day diffieult to get the ear of the president, there were few congre men at the white house today. But they have in no degree been re- lieved of anxiety as to the fate of the seigniorage bill, and doubtless will make up in numbers tomorrow the omissions of to- day. The situation at the white house pre- sents one strong feature of novelty, in the fact that it appears to be the scene of a bloodles battle just now between the con- gressmen on one hand, the large majority of whom are urging the signing of the seiguior- age bill, and the great commercial interests of the country on the other, for twenty-nine out of cvery thirty of the communications from them pray for the veto of the bill. The congressmen have the advantage of personal presence on the fleld, but the other side is in evidence of great force in the large number of letters received in the presi- ntial mail, and of telegrams' that come 5o numerously as to keep the white house operator occupied to his full capacity. These communications by mail and wire are com- ing from all parts of the country, and are not, as might be supposed, alfogether of ern origin. For instance, today there e appeals for a veto from Cincinnati, Louis, San Francisco and Salem, Ore. also joined the line, as was by protests against the bill from the cotton factories of Norfollc and the tranxportation interests there. A very thoughtful presentation of objections to the bill coming from Richmond, without doubt has made some impression tpon the presi- dent, Of course it is manifestly impossible for the president to read himself in detail all of these communications, but they are carcfully examined by Mr. Thurber and any new point or suggestion on cither side of the case is brought to the attention of the president. There are all, sorts of stories afloat as to the president’s disposition toward the bill, and some have gone to the length of reciting that he has already pre- pared a veto message. If this be true ha has not taken the members of the cabinet into <his confidence, and at the mecting today the subject was discussed from all points of view, with a distinct Impression in the minds of the mermbers of the cahinet that the president is still open to convic- tion. He has up to and including next Thurs- day—nearly a week—to make up his mind what to do with the bill, and there are in- dications that he proposes to use most of this time in_thoughtful consideration of the matter. It is certain he has committed himself to no man as respects his action on the bill. When a congressman calls to urge the signature of the bill he is likely to have put to him a question that discourages him, but he soon learns his colleague, who prays for a veto, has had a precisely similar experience, and both are left more In doubt as to the outcome than before their call. It is noticeable that some of the communi tlons recelved urging a veto concede that, owing to the slow formation of popular opin- jon, the result may be a temporary party loss at the polls, but they insist that in the end the sound and conservative course they approve will surely be rewarded by popular support. This view is strongly expressed in " the communications from the south, which, in cases, adjure the president to fol- low the line of conduct pursued by him in making the tariff {ssue. The comparatively few appeals for the signature of the bill, as a rule, are based on the plea that It will do no harm and is absolutely demanded to in- sure party unity and the control of the next house of representatives. A rumor has found publication to the effect that the president is about to go on a fishing trip of a few days, probably to Wood- mont, Va., but the rumor can be positively denied. ~ SURPRISED AT THE OBJECTIONS, Framers of the New Chinese Treaty Think the Measure Unjustly Criticized. WASHINGTON, March 23.—Some surprise is manifested in administration circles at the opposition that has already developed to the new Chinese treaty. The new treaty, sald one who spoke for the State department today, Is the outcome of months of patient work and skillful negotiation, and it was hoped the State department had succaeded at last in settling in a manner entirely satis- factory the question of regulating Chinese immigration. For nearly ten years this subject has been a source of trouble and the public has surely appreciated the danger to which the country has been exposed of a total severance of friendly relations with China, with the probable loss of our valuable commercial relations with that country. The correspondence which has passed in that time between our State department and the diplomatic representatives of the Chinese government, however, makes this very clear, for the Chinese have used some very severe language in charging our government with a deliberate violation of treaties. So, in nego- tiating the treaty now before the senate for ratification, the administration felt it had achieved some very desirable results, for not only had it set at rest the morally sound complaint of China, but had at the same d in the form of sacred treaty tions all of the restrictive features of the existing Chinese restriction laws that, in the opinion of the department, were worthy of perpetuation. This result” was secured with the entire approval of the Chinese gov- ernment. There was a reasonable certainty, also, that the treaty would meet the ap- proval of the senate, unless there had been a great change in public opinion within th past few years, for it was framed on the lines of the treaty negotiated by Secretary Bayard in 1887, which had received the un- qualified sanction of the senate. It s felt that some of the eriticisms which have been passed upon the new trealy dre unreasonable, or elsé have been made under a misconception of the exact scope of the Instrument. Such, for instance, Is said to be the complaint that the treaty opens the way to fraud, in that it will permit Chinese who leave the United States with the express determination to return to sell their papers to other Chinese and thus keep up a stream of immigration. As a matter of fact, the treaty clothes the collectors of customs at immigrant ports with the widest measure of discretion in this particular; and they may frame their regulations relative to identifi- cation of Chinese returning to America with such completencss as to make it absolutely impossible for any substitution to take place and thus insure the country against further immigration of Chinese. As to the objection that has been made to the treaty provision allowing the Chir government to place similar restriction to certification, ete upon the immigration of American laborers into China, it is urged by the friends of the treaty that no great hardships will be worked, for, in the first place, it is doubt ful whether the Chinese government ever will exercise the power it r in this particular, and, in the second thel are probably not more than two score of American laborers in all China at this time who would be affected, even should the see tion be made operati The Pacific coast delegation in congress I8 eagerly discussing Its terms, of which all the information they have is the reports published in the Associated press dispatches.

Representative Hilborn of California, who was United Stateg' district attorney during the first prosecut®n of Chinese under the fginal Chinese ex®lusion law, said tonight: The reported feabures of the treaty pro- viding that Amerlean Inborers shall register is meaningless, as we hive not more than fifty laborers in that country. If there was to be reciprocity it shionld have been in protecting Americans {n China. Our people, missionaries and others, take thelr lives in their hands when théy go twenty miles Into the interior of China. That country will er grant us the protection she asks for her people in this country. The proposed treaty will be a great shock to the Pacific states,' Representotive Maguire of California sald: “In %o far as the treaty In any way changes the political provislons for Chinese exclusion, w h represent the result of twelve years experience, T am opposed to it. I think the treaty should unqualifiedly recognize and uphold all present laws on the subject of Chinese immigration.. I can see no objection to having China establish and maintain reg- istration laws applying to our citizens in China nor to those which have applied to her citizens in this country. Representative Wilson of Washington said: “After battling for years for an adequate restrictive law, the present pro-Chinese and pro-British administration has overridden the law and has not only gone into the busi- ness of alding the Chinese to invade my state, but has also’.made contracts with British coal firms across the horder from our state and in competition with our people.’” Representative EII8 of Oregon said: ‘“The reported abandonment of photographic iden- tification will take away the vital means of identification. Until the full treaty is at hand it will be difficult to form an opinion of it, but if it in any way limits the present restriction or makes Clinese immigration easier, it will be a serious blow to the people of the Pacific coast.” ISTRATIO!

HUNGARIANS FORCED TO HONOR KOSSUTH Audiences Driven from the Theaters and Other Riotous Demonstrations in the City of Buda Pesth-Even the Government Yielding. BUDA PESTH, March 23.—There is con- siderable excitement today _among the students and others who took part in the riotous demons rations last night against those citizens who had not displayed em- blems of mourning in honor of Louls Kos- suth, During the invasion of the theaters by the students, who drove the actors and audi- ences from the building, and as a result of the conflicts which took place between the students and the police later when the former dispersed the audfences in the con- cert halls, over twenty people were more or less serlously injured. The police have made several arrests, but further trouble is anticipated fonight. As a matter of pre- caution there is a great display of mourning emblems today, as the citizens who do not make such an exhibition of respect to the memory of Kossuth are almost certain to have thelr windows smashed by the s:udents this evening. The students have announced their de- termination to compel people of all clas to show respect to the memory of the gen- eral, and opposition to the will of the stu- dents backed up as they are by crowds of sympathizers among the masses, is able to cause serious disorder. The police, in or- der to avert further rioting, are advising people not to run the risk of incurring the animosity of the students and people who are now stirred to a state of great excitement by the death of Kossuth. YIELDED TO POPULAR CLAMOR. The government has so far yielded to the popular’ demand regarding the respect to be shown by it to the memory of Kossuth that it has caused to be hoisted upon the state buildings the national flag draped with crepe. Today persons began to congregate in crowds about the squares and other places during the afternoon. Gathering together In strong bands, which were reinforced from the ranks of the disorderly element of the two cities, the students prepared to make further attacks upon the theaters, but the authorities from early morning had been preparing for disturbances and the students found the theaters, concert halls and other places of amusement, as well as public buildings, strongly guarded by police. In_addition, detachments of infantry and cavalry were kept under arms at the bar- racks, and the students were notified that the authoritics had determined to preserve the peace at any cost. It was against the cgjminal clement that the police mainly ected thelr efforts, and a number of the most desperate of these who were found in- citing people to violence were promptly ar- rested and will be detained in custody until the funeral excitement has entirely ~disap:, peared. DIFFICULT TO PRESERVE ORDER. In_ spite of the fact that Al the police force of Buda Pesh and the neighborhood 15 on duty here today and, though reinforce- ments of police have been drafted here from nelghboring cities, the authoritics find the greatest difficulty in preserving order. The officers in charge of the police were in- structed to do everything possible to pre- vent a violent outbreak, as it is feared that any conflict wiil result in considerable blood- shed. An ecnormous and excited crowd gathered in front of the Parliament house, which was strongly guarded by police. Led on by the excited students the people filled the air with shouts and threats in- sisting that Parliament was not doing suffi- clent to honor the memory of the dead patrio’. Finally the crowd made a rush toward the doors of the Parliament hous and a sharp engagement with the police fol- lowed. The police, strongly reinforced, drove back the mob, but the excited peopic seemed determined to force an entrance in o the House of Parliament, for it required a number of charges upon the part of the police hefore the crowd was kept within a reasonable distance of the doors. The police also had the greatest diffi- culty in keeping a passageway through the crowd until the arrival of deputies, but when it was noticed that all those repre- sentatives wore mourning, the people be- came better humored and heartily cheered the popular deputies who were recognized on their way to the entrance gates. Inside the Parlinment house there was a large attendance of deputics, and the public galleries were packed with people, either dressed in mourning or conspicuously wear- ing mourning badges. When the president arose o address the house the most pro- found silence was observed throughout the chamber. Al the deputies arose from their seats and stood with bowed heads while the president announced the death of Louis Kossuth. The president was most deeply affected while making his ad- dress to the deputies and almost broke down when he spoke of the patriot’s death in a foreign land. e concluded by asking for the unanimous adoption of the proposals made by Dr. Alexander Wekerle, president of the council of ministers, who at the con- ference of the liberal membel of the Hungarian diet last evening suggested t the House express the nation’s gratitude for the ser rendered by Kossuth and that it also send a telegram extending sympathy to the family of the dead gencral, Dr. Wekerle also suggested that a depy tion of members of the lower house be sent to Turin to place a wreath upon Kossuth's bler and that the house adjourn until the funeral. After_the president had made this propo- sition M. Justh, leader of the Hungarian independents, warmly protested against the proposals as being inadequate, and length- ily extolled Kossuth's services EXTOLLED THE PATRIOT. After the president had made this propo- sitlon M. Justh, leader of the Hungarian in- dependents, warmly protested against the proposals as being inadequate, and lengthily extolled Kossuth's #rvices to Hungary and moved that the expense of his funeral b borne by the state, that his services be r corded in an act of Parliament and that the munieipal authorities he instructed to close all the theaters until after the funeral Finally M. Justh proposed a vote of thanks to the Ttallan government and to the mun! pal authorities of Turin for the hospitality which they had extended to the patriot Count Apponyi moved that Ko-suth's death be declared a national loss and that the lower house of the Diet itself pay the ex penses of his funeral. Dr. Wekerle, who arose to reply for the government, declared that the latter could only accept the proposals which the presi dent of the House had made to the deputies. The House then rejected the proposals made by M. Justh and Count Apponyi and adopted by a large majority the proposals made by the president of the House Cavalry and infantry patrolled the streets Auring the day, but thelr presence was not suficlent to preserve order. Shortly after dark crowds began to gather in certain of the cafes and other places of public resort Soon the crowds took the streets ere their numbers were rapidly augmented, and began a meeting in a riotous manner ) most serious disorder occurred ontside the opera house.

UNSATISFACTORY SCHEDULES REJECTED Employes Will Now DI All Thelr Ene ergies ton Lreparation of Thele Case for the Federal with A et —Talk roey Harper, When the delegation of firemen of the Union Pacific system ontered the confer- once room at headquarters yesterday it was pretty generally understood that a crisis had about been reached. But the end came sooner than was anticipated. Chairman, Petrie of the delegation pre- sented his substitute schedule for the sched- ule proposed by the company, which was read at length, Mr. Dickinson on behalf of Mr. Clark stated that the company could not accept the comproi schedule because it made but few changes in existing rules and reguiations, except that it was more explicit than the old schedule, He re- gretted, he said, to be compelled to take this position, but the schedule presented by the firemen did not save the company a single dollar, and in some cases even raised the scale, should it be adopted. He went over the financial standing of the company and told the men the necessities of the cor- poration. | Having recited in a fow words the condition of affairs he declined to ac- cept the schedule. Chairman Petrie, in re- ply, stated that it was useless to attempt a compromise under these conditions, and as the men could not afford to accept the schedule prepared by the company there was little use to thresh over old straw, and therefore, as chairman of the delegation, he thought the conference might as well end, 5o far as the firemen were concerned. Mr. Petrie also stated that the delegation needed some little time to prepare thelr case for submission to Judges Cildwell and Sanborn and they might as well take up the few remaining days before the court con- venes in conference with the general attor- ney of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire- men, T. W. Harper of Terre Haute, Ind., who would represent the firemen.in court. Having given his decision the delegates filed out of the conference room somewhat happy, It one ‘could judge from the appear- ances, that the strain was over for the tivie being. A NUTSHELL. ChairmanPatrle was secn Immediately after the adfournment of the conference and was asked the situation. He frankly stated that-86 far as the firemen were ooncerned the conference was at an end. Of course we are liable to be called back, but miy understanding is that the heaving between our body and Mr. Clark is over. We recog- nized that something definite had to be done. ~ We could not accept the schedule offered by the company, and to show our position tendered the company a substitute schedule so-called, but really a series of rules and regulations. The scale of wages was not even touched upon. Mr. Dickinson, after® hearing the schedule read, stated frankly that the company could ‘mot accept our schedule. What was the use to go any further? ~ We simply recognized the inevie table and withdrew." A number of the men admitted that Mr, Clark had been fair, but had not held out the olive branch to any great extent. They deeply regretted the position in which they were placed, but after the.second day saw the uselessness of proceeding further when neither side showed a willingness to concede any material point. And so the conference, which rallroad men the country over had hoped would be productive of an agreement ratisfactory to all interests, ends in smoke. Both sides have stood firm when material points came up for discussion, although there was a dis- position to yield immaterial points which saved the company very little, if anything, The lines of battle will now be formed for the contest, which, by the action of the enginemen and trainmen, is transferred to the cotrt, What program the men wili adopt.before the tribunal is not known, but it is thought the attorneys for the various trades will get together now and map out a line of pro- cedure. Eight stenographers Lave been constantly at work since the conference commenced and hundreds of pages of (estimony have been the result, which will undoubtedly have to be milled out before submission to the court. So far as the men are concerned the con- ference 1s closed in all probability. Just as The Bee predicted a couple of days ago, the men do not care to use up time that is needed (o prepare their case for the court in holding conferences that have been harren of results from the star: and which promise nothing better in the future. As the fire- men stated this morning, the engineers do not see any sity of again going over the same TRAINMEN ARE THROUGH, Chief Clark of the trainmen, when asked if_his organization was also through, sald, “Mr. Clark knows my address and it he wants us we are ready to go ahead and talk the matter over,” thus indicating that unless the company desired to continue the hearing the men were through The telegraphers completed the work of comparing notes on the Kansas division yes- terday and this ends the work so far as Mr. Korty is concerned In addition to the scctions of the rules which are common 1o the engineers and firemen, there are several things brought up by the firemen which effect them alone, but nothing was done toward a settlement of them. One thing brought up for consid- fon was the fact thal the firemen at the end of each trip were compelled to clean up all the brass and bright work on the engine, which required from one to two hours each day. This work had to be done after the engine came into the louso and for this they received no pay whatever. The wipers in the round house cleancd up everything below the running board, but above that the work falls upon the men, They con- tond they shonld receive some compensation for doing this. Mr. Connell admitted that it was extra work, but that it would cost the company at least 325,000 per year more, and in the present condition of the roud it was an absolute necessity 1o reduce ax- penses instead of adding to them. Another thing the firemen stated wa that while they did not wish to say that the engineers r any other branch of the service should be cut, but on the contrary thought not, the firem were loss le to stand o cut than some other branches of the service h were better paid. It was all the men | do to tive on their present salary and it would he almost impossible to live n the unt they wonld receive under | the reduction provided for in the Dundy ler.
