e THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1895. 3 KILRAIN WENT DOWA. O’Donnell Has the Best of the Coney Island Fight. FOUGHT OVER AN HOUR. The Bout Is Then Stopped at the Request of the Police.

After a minor bout between locals George F. better known as “Young Cor- bett’” of San Francisco, was given an op- portunity of showing his prowess. His gonist was Jim Holmes of New York. pounds for eight rounds. ornian had as seconds ng Griffo, Billy Delaney of San Fran- o; John McVey of Philadelphia and Jim McCabe of Fordham. The men be- hind Holmes were Will Holmes, Charley O'Brien and Pete Dunn of New York and Jack Desmond of Brooklyn. Young Corbett showed himself clever, but his blows lacked steam.

A. Duke and Al Halford of Baltimore were to take care of Kilrain. Champion Corbett was not in the house, but his manager, Billy Brady, sat close by the ring side. Parson Davies of Chicago was also an interested spectator. O’Don- nell climbed through the ropes at9:50, and Young Griffo was then among tne seconds, who by this time numbered half a dozen. K in arrived a minute later, and in com- tall opponent he looked as an elephant. O’Donnell’s weight was said to be 380 pounds and Kilrain’s. thirty pounds more.

FALSE 7O HIS PLEDGES Retiring Police Commissioner Murray So Charges Mayor Strong of New York. He Enters a Protest Against Stepping Out of Office and Is Followed by Kerwin. | NEW YORK, N. Y., May 6.—Before re- | linquishing his office to-day, Police Com- | missioner Murray sent a letter to Mayor Strong refusing to comply with the re- | quest for his resignation. In concluding the letter, Mr. Murray said: “The party of which I am a member, and which, prior to yonr election as Mavor, you were identified with, through its representatives in the Legislature, with mistaken confidence in your discretion, fairness and Republicanism, conferred upon you an arbitrary power of removal. This power should not be used with vin- dictiveness nor exercised for the purpose of building up factional Republicanism or causing Republican disorganization or dis- sensions. ‘“The spirit of this act you have violated. The exercise of the power by you, however narrow, capricious or unjust, I cannot pre- vent. If you think you car afford to em- ploy this power, do so. Ican afford to be made its innocent victim.” Mr. Kerwin to-day gave out a second letter to the Mayor in which he went into | more details in regard to the alleged viola- | tion of the anti-election pledges by Mr. | Strong than he did in his letttr of last Saturday. Both Mr. Kerwin and Mr. Murray are Platt Republicans. In his latter letter Mr. Kerwin says: “The record proves that you were false to every promise you made, and in the face of overwhelming evidence you have | not dared to deny your wanton treachery. | The patient people of this city, my dear sir, will not forget that you aresilent in the face of charges of the most damaging character, directly crediting you with being untruthful in your statements and false to the pledges subscribed by you. They will not soon forget the explanation you made when you startled the com- munity with the false declaration that the city’s finances had been tampered witn. Least of all will any self-respecting citizen forget your conduct in going outside of this city for persons to conduct the affairs | of the municipality. In doing this, you gratuitously insulted every man who cast a vote at the last election.” PR R HAS HEAVY L1ABILITIES. Assignment of the Lumber and Banlking Fitrm of N. P. Clark & Co. MINNEAPOLIS, Misx., May 6.—The lumber and banking firm of N. P. Clark & Co. of St. Cloud, Minn., and Minneapolis filed an assignment at St. Cloud Saturday evening to Lucas Kells, the Sauk Centre banker. The fact was kept secret until to-day. Deposits in the bank at St. Cloud amounted to $125,000 and other local cred- itors make the total $150,000 or $175,000. During the past week a hundred or more deeds and mortgages have been recorded in St. Cloud as securities to depositors and private creditors. There is doubt in legal circles whether these transactions will hold. The Minne- | apolis liabilities will not exceed $500,000 and the assets are variously estimated as high as $1,500,000, but owing to recent transfers $1,000,000 is probably nearer the correct figure. N.P. Clark did not make a personal assignment. He has practically entrusted the whole business of the firm to his nephew, Fred H. Clark. The ramor of the failure was due to “flyers” in wheat and corn. F. H. Clark denied it emphatically. — Dr. Adam Smith wrote of “The Wealth of Nations.” Dr. Price's Baki; looks after their health. e Towder s Library for Columbia College. ing to-day of the trustees of Columbia College, President Seth Low formally of- fered to assume personally the cost of erecting the new library building, the estimated cost of which is $1,000,000. Pres- ident Low said he desired the building ta be 2 memorial to his father, the late Apsel Abbott Low, whom President Low de- scribed as “a merchant who taught his son the value of the things for which Co- lumbia College stands.” " Trustee William G.

Lease Ap- pears in a New Role. PUT A WITNESS TO SLEEP. She Causes an Insane Asylum Attendant Some Peculiar Feelings. . WAS A WITCH FROM WICHITA. Remarkable Testimony From a Wit~ ness Under the Spell of the Feminine Lawyer. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 6.—A special to the Journal from Topeka, says: Mrs. Mary E. Lease, orator and politi- cian, has assumed a new role. She isa hypnotist, and a first-class one, as shown by an exhibition given by her to-day dur- ing the progress of a petty investigation now proceeding against certain officers of the State Insane Asylum. During the proceedings Mrs. Lease, without announc- ing her purpose, walked dcross the com- mittee-room to where J. L. Flint, an at- tendant at the asylum, was sitting, and re- marked, with a pass of her hand before his eyes: “Mr. Flint, you look weary. Your tes- timony of yesterday must have been trying on you.” Mr. Flint attempted to disclaim any weariness, but Mrs. Lease made another pass of her hands and Flint went “dead asleep.” “Mr. Flint,” said Mrs. Lease, ‘‘did you read the report of your testimony in the Capital ?” “No,” said Flint, “I did not.” “Well, you did not testify to any such things as the Capital said you did, did you?” (handing him a sheet of writing paper containing merely a list of names). *‘No; that’s all wrong. Ididn’t testify to anything of the kind. The Capital got it all mixed up.” “See,” said Mre. Lease, “how stiff your arm is getting.” Flint’s arm drew up and became as rigid as a tent pole. “And your limbs too,” said the Wichita witch, and straightway oneof his legs was stiffer than it really ought to be. For ten or fifteen minutes Mrs. Lease played with her subject. She made him do all sorts of things, ridiculous and otherwise, and finally brought him out of his trance with a few passes of her hands. As Mrs. Lease proceeded with her black art the committee and witnesses looked on dumfounded, and only gained their com- posure when she declared the performance over for the day. STEEL RAIL DISCRIMINATION. Celebrated Complaint to Be Heard by the Interstate Commerce Commission. CHICAGO, Irn., May 6.—Most of the members of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, who have been traveling through the West for several days, have arrived in this city. They are Chairman Wiliiam R. Morrison of Illinois, W. G. Veazey of Ver- mont, Secretary M. D. Decker of Washing- ton, and.J. H. Fishback of Washington. The session of the commission began at 11 o'clock this morning. The session to- day and to-morrow will be occupied with taking testimony and hearing arguments in the cases of George L. Castle, who com- plains that the Baltimore and Ohio has been discriminating against him and in favor of his competitors in the matter of freight rates and transportation facilities in hauling sand, gravel and other con- tractors’ supplies from Indiana points to Chicago, and of the Illinois Fruit-growers’ Association, which complains of unjust discrimination on the part of the Illinois Central Railroad Company. Two important cases carried over from the Denver session will be heard Wednes- day. One of them is a ‘“‘cause celebre’’ in current railroad litigation. It is the case of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, which has a plant for making steel rails at Pueblo and which has been forced by the railroads to pay $160 a hundred on its product from Denver to the Pacific Coast, when the charge on similar freights from Chicago via New Orleans ana the South- ern Pacific is only 50 cents. The rest of the week will be devoted to hearing some important cases from Omaha, Kansas City, Kearney and St. Louis. At i NICARAGUALAND COMMISSIONERS Departure of the Officers Forming It for Alabama. NEW YORK, N.Y., May 6.—The com- mission appointed some time ago by the President to examine the plans and route of the Nicaragua canal left for Mobile, Ala., last night. There were in the party the commissioners, Colonei Ludlow of the NEW YORK, N. Y., May 6.—At a meet- |- United States army, Commodore Endicott of the navy and Alfred Noble and Assist- ant Engineers Davis, Wood, Stamford and Park of the navy, who will verify the sur- veys. A stenographer and cook accompanied the party, and Naval Surgeon Stitt went along to look after the health of everybody connected with the expedition. Mr. Noble said that it was expected that the Montgomery would land the commis- sion at their destination by May 12, and that fully two months would be required to do the proposed work. The party will reach Mobile on Tuesday, and will at once go aboard the cruiser Montgomery and proceed to Greytown.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 6.—A smile was upon the face of every citizen in Kansas City this evening when they read in the evening papers of the doings of the new board of Police Commissioners only recently appointed by the - Governor of Missouri. Oneof the most ludicrous of the appointments of the police force was the appointment of a man with a cork leg, and the best part of the joke is the fact that the cork-legged man hobbled into Chief Irwin’s office to-day for his commission as apatrolman. The man’s name is William Conder. Conder got tired of the merri- ment unwittingly made at his expense, and going into Chief Irwin’s office he ex- claimed: “I'm the man with the cork leg. Guess I'll have to own up to it.” Chief Irwin, who also is a new appointee, was thunderstruck. He sent tidings to Commissioners Fyke and Shelly. When » they heard the remarkable news, they burst into the Chief’s office breathless and with a look of incredulity. “Where's that man with the cork leg?” demanded Fyke. “It’sa joke, isn’t it?” Condon assured him that it was no joke. He rolled up his trousers on his right leg, and the Commissioners fairly groaned. “It’s too true,” said Mr. Shelly mourn- fully. “I guess all the boys will be guying us now.” The appointment of Condon will prob- ably be reconsidered. A museum freak, an ex-candidate for Congress and a prize- fighter were also placed on the rolls. The local papers have been making a strong fight against any change in the Police Commissioners and the Police Department, but Governor Stone appointed men whom the newspavers opposed, and criticisms of all their actions is not wanting. g FEDERAL CRIMINALS. Big Batch of Them to Be Heard at Fort Smith, Ark. FORT SMITH, Ark., May 6.—The May term of the United States court, which began to-day, will be an unusually inter- esting one. The docket is not as heavyas usual, but the number of murder cases set for trial is large. There are thirteen already set and about ten more to be in- vestigated by the Grand Jury. The most important one, of course, is that of Henry Starr, the young bandit chief, whose career as a train and bank robber followed and eclipsed that of the Dalton boys. Cherokee Bill will also have to answer for the fiendish butchery of his brother-in-law, Joe Brown. The other de- fendants are: “Famous” Smith, Thomas Thompson, Mrs. Mary A. Keten- ning. Richard Calhoun, George Wash- ington, William McLemore, John Allison, J. S. Davenport, Amos MecIntosh, Bill Ansel, Buz Luckey, Bud Caps and Eli Lucas. Of these Smith, Starr and Thomp- son have previously been convicted and granted new trials by the Supreme Court of the United States. Another very interesting trial will be that of Buz Luckey, Wade Chamberlee and Nathan Reed for robbery of a M. K. & T. train at Blackstone Bwitch ' last October. EFFECTED A COMPROMISE Senator Carter Succeeds Settling the Hirschfield Divorce Suit. in The Montana Wife Will Secure Ali- mony In a Heavy Sum by Hirschfield’s Consent. SALT LAKE, Urar, May 6.—A special to the Tribune from Helena says: The celebrated Hirschfield case is settled. A compromise was effected to-day, and to- morrow the final steps will be taken to settle the litigation. In January, 1894, Aaron Hirschfield, cashier of the Merchants’ National Bank, married Miss Dell Hogan, wh cashier in a dry-goods store in th: A week had scarcely passed when he de- serted her and removed to Fargo, N. D., and after acquiring a residence there brought suit in the courts of that State for a separation from his wife. After a sensa- tional trial he lost his case, the ruarriage being declared binding. Mrs. Hirschfield then brought suit in the Montana courts against the wife of Aaron’s brother, L. H. Hirschfield, president of the Merchants’ National Bank, for $75,000 for alienating the affections of her husband. ‘When the case was called to-day, a motion for a continuance was requested on the ground that it had been settled out of court. The continnance was granted, and it is learned tbat the compromise was effected on the basis of $30,000. To-morrow Mrs. Hirschfield will apply for & divorce on the ground of desertion. 1t will be granted and the court will allow her $30,000 ali- mony. Senator Carter is generally credited with bringing about the settlement. CIAPTETY DECORATED WARE UNDERVALUED Great Quantities of It Shipped to Eastern Cities and to This Coast. CHICAGO, ILL., May 6.—A special from Philadelphia, Pa., says: In the reappraise- ment of the decorated china and cut and decorated glassware shipped to this port by a London firm, undervaluations have been discovered by special treasury agents. Some idea of the loss to the National treasury may be gathered from the fact that on one invoice alonethe London ship- pers were compelled to hand over $200 ad- ditional duties. Other invoices were set- tled in the same way. The Board of General Appraisers re- viewed the case in New York, and without a difference of opinion the appraisements were advanced 25 per cent, and notification was forwarded at once to the Collector of Port at Philadelphia. It is believed that the undervaluations have involved losses of $159,000 per annum and that the fraud has been going on for at least ten years past. Very little of the merchandise came to Philadelphians, but was consigned to Chi- cago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and as far west as San Fran- cisco. —— Division on the Money Question. HARTFORD, Coxy., May 6.—Clinton B. Davis, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, will call a public con- vention to sit in the Hyperion Theater, New Haven, for the first week in June, in the interest of sound money. The chair- man’s determination in this respect is opposed by certain members of the com- mittee, but he is strongly supported by the Monticello Club of New Haven, an in- fluential Democratic organization. Th2 official call will probably be issued this week. —_— Discriminate and insist upon the best, Price’s Cream Baking Powder. g St. John for Sitver. TOPEKA, Kans., May 6.—A story comes from New York that ex-Governor John P. St. John has laid aside prohibition pend- ing a settlement of the money question, and will advocate free silver as the one remedy for all the ills which afflict the country. Itissaid that he even will dis- courage the nomination of Prohibitionist electoral tickets in 1896, in order that the free silver vote may be swelled. — Hotel Clerk Murdered and Robbed. PITTSBURG, PA., May 6.—Isaac Jones, the night clerk at the First-avenue Hotel, was found murdered in the basement of the hotel this morning. He had been beaten on the head with an iron bar and robbed. ——— TaE official food analyses by the United States Government show the Royal to be a pure cream-of-tartar baking powder, the highest in strength, evolving 160.6 cubic inches of leavening gas per single ounce of powder. The:e were eight other brands of cream-of-tartar powders tested, and their average strength was less than 111 cubic jnches of gas per ounce of powder. TALK - OF SECESSION. A New Difficulty That Confronts the Dole Government. NATIVES ARE RESTLESS. An Uprising Hourly Expected on Hawaii, Maui and Kauali Islands. THREATENED BY THE MIKADO. Now That China Has Been Van- quished, Japan Will Turn Its Attention to Hawail. HONOLULU, Hawarr, April 30.—Every- thing is quiet enough here on the surface, but there is an undercurrent of public opinion which bodes ill for the stability of the Dole Cabinet. For the present it may be understood that the restoration of Lilinokalani is out of the question, but the royalists are not idle. On the contrary they are more active than ever, but they are devoting their ef- forts to creating dissensions in the ranks of the Government forces, and in this they claim to be succeeding beyond their fondest expectations. They are continually harp- ing on the proposition that the present Government is insincere in its advocacy of annexation to the United States. But another and much more important issue now confronts President Dole and his confreres of the Planters’ Labor and Supply Company, and that is nothing more nor less than the secession of the other islands from the present Government and the setting up of another capital at Hilo, on the island of Hawaii. The first note of alarm on this subject came from the Bulletin, which in an editorial on the subject on April 17 said : “There is some talk on Hawaii of that island’s political seceding from the rest of the group and setting up housekeeping for itself. Many of the residents of that island think that it does not get its aue share of expenditures for public improvements.” The CaLL correspondent Las investigated the source from which the above extract came and finds that it is reliable—so much so that a combination of the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, and perhaps Molokai, is proposed against the island of Qahu, or, in reality, against Honolulu. It is believed the Government is so wor- ried over this new move that it is atits wit’s end to know what to do. It dare not send troops to the other islands and put them under martial law, for the simple reason that by so doing it would leave Honolulu defenseless, besides away from Honolulu the troops would be liable to in- fluences which might affect their loyalty. Anyhow there is no danger that the Gov- ernment will send troovs to coerce the other islands, for that would endanger their own fat jobs, and as long as Hono- lulu is in its possession those who are feed- ing at the public erib think that they are all right. 2 The principal grievance the people of the other islands seem to have isthat they have been totally neglected by Mr. Dole and his associates. With one or two ex- ceptions, no man residing out of the island of Oahu has ever been consulted in Gov- ernment affairs, ard the 1esidents of the other islands have simply been contempt- uously ignored, although during the late fiasco both Maui and Hawaii offered to furnish their quota of armed men to defend the present Government on demand. Another cause of discontent has been the refusal of the Government to appropriate any money for internal improvements out- side of Honolulu. All the money expended for improvements of any kind is being spent right here in this city, and it is need- less to say that Government favorites get the benefit of it in contracts, salaries and otherwise. How far this feeling of secession has ex- tended it is impossible to say. Marshal Hitchcock is on Hawaii and has been for weeks past. It ds reported that he is to return on May 10, but under the circum- stances it is expected he will receive orders to remain where he is until something de- velops from the present situation. ‘While it 1s hard to get at any facts, there is no doubt that the white people of the other islands are much disgusted, and pro- pose to have a say in the affairs of these islands hereafter. That the natives are ex- cited also goes without saying. The Claudine, which came in from Maui two days since, brought the news that “Thurs- ton had orders to restore the ex-Queen.” And the natives all believe this and similar rumors, and are in a constant state of fer- ment in consequence. Another source of worry to the Govern- ment is the fear of filibustering expedi- tions from the United States, and a con- stant watch is being maintained for strange craft of any kind, and the Government tug has steam up all the time. Aad still another source of worry is the Japanese labor question, and the demands of that Government to be recognized as a favored nation. The steamship Gaelic brings the news of the end of the war with China. That being the case, we may look for one or more Japanese war vessels in the harbor of Honolulu at any moment, which will be prepared to back up any demands that Government may make on Hawaii at short notice. Having made short: work of China, Japan is not likely to stand on cere- mony with Hawaii, and the Government is well aware of it. In discussing this matter editorially, the Advertiser advocates the appointment of a Minister to represent Hawaii at Toxio, and asks: “Where do we, the little republic, staud in this matter? What will be the attitude of the Japanese toward us? We have now a population of 23,000 of them, which is ten times larger than the actual American population. They are here by our invita- tion, and are protected by a broad and almost perpetual treaty.” And the Advertiser might have added: “They are still coming.” The Gaelic broughta large number of Japanese ‘‘artisans” for this port, who are supposed to be trained seldiers in disguise. It is said that nearly 1000 of these soldiers are now in Honolulu, all of whom have see three years’ service in the army, and are only too anxious to get back in the ranks. The Japanese openly claim that if it had not been for the war with China Hawaii would now be simply a Japanese dependency, and there are many here who think that such would be much better than the present condition of affairs. As to the condition of affairs on the other islands, S8am Nowlein, the leader of the late uprising, who turned State’s evi- dence and was the principal witness for the Government in the late trials, is on the island of Maui, and he has not been idle since leaving Honolulu. NEW SPANISH MINISTER. Senor Dupuy de Leome Presents His Credentials to the President. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.—Senor Enrique Dupuy de Leome, the new Spanish Minister, was presenied to the President to-day by acting Secretary of State Uhl. The Minister presented his letters from the Queen Regent of Spain, crediting him in the name of her son, King Don Alfonso XII and referred to the fact that he had come for the third time to serve his sovereign at Washington. He referred to “the bonds, already a century old, which join Spain and the United States,” and spoke felicitously of his late meeting with President Cleveland during theWorld'sFair at Chicago,‘‘beneath the arched roof of the vastest building ever reared in the world, constructed to celebrate the ' marvelous progress of this people, and to commemo- tate, with the help of all the nations of the globe, an event which is for Spain a feat of glory.” He assured the president of the affection of the Queen Regent and her Government for himself and the American people. President Cleveland replied in anequally pleasant strain, assuring the Minister of his pleasure to welcome him again to Washington. “It augurs well, Mr. Min- ister,” said the President, ‘‘for the sake of your mission that you come among us not only inspired by the amicable desires of your Government, but as a personal friend.” BN e The President Sends a Chesk. DECATUR, Inp., May 6.—A few weeks ago the wife of Albert Zerkles, a poor farmer living three miles north of here, gave birth to triplets, all girls.

SERIOUS FOR SPAIN, Agitators in Cuba Or=- ganizing the Cama- guey Region. ARMS FOR INSURGENTS, The State Department Asked to Investigate the Manuel Fuentos Case. NEW LEADERS IN COMMAND. Spain’s Best Disclplined Soldiers Being Sent to the Present Seat of Threatened Trouble. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.—The State Department has been asked to inves- tigate the case of Manuel Fuentos, the cor- respondent of the New York World, who was arrested near Santiago de Cuba on a charge of aiding the revolutionists, it being charged that he endeavored to sell arms to them. This charge is denied, and in view of the summary methods of the Spanish court-martial, Secretary Gresham is asked to see that Fuentos receives pro- tection pending the investigation. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 6.—A special to the World from Havana say Agitators of the revolution are said to be working hard in the Camaguey region. Spain’s best disciplined soldiers are being sent to that section, as an uprising there would be fatal to Spanish rule. During the last war some 80,000 men re- volted in that district. and a large column once came very near Havana. Marcus Garcia, the mayor of Sancti Spiritu, has sent in his resignation, and it is 1n Santa Clara. No little importance is attached to this step. A native of Cuba and a desperate and brave leader in the first revolution, he is extremely popular in the whole province of Puerto Principe, where he has lived all his life. As Mayor of Sancto Spiritu he has been devoted to the welfare of the people, personally con- ducting all forces in pursuing the many bandits that operated in that neighbor- hood, which he contrived to exterminate. The whole district of Camaguey would blindly follow him should he once more desire it. He has been summoned to Havana to account to General Campos for his strange resignation. In Rio Grande, in the neighborhood of Sancti Spiritu, men have revolted and are trying to induce Justo Sanchez, a leader of the past war, to take command of them. At present the leaders are a Cuban named Castillo and a Spaniard named Quintero. There is a rumor that an expedition 2000 strong is liable to land in Vuelto Abajo at the extreme western end of the island of Cuba. Nothing definite can be ascertained in regard to it. The story appears to have been purposely set afloat by stock exchange speculators. HAVANA, Cusa, May 6.—Twenty mem- bers of a band of rebels at Vilas, com= manded by Quintin, have surrendered.
