Upon leaving the British embassy Sir Philip Carrie wrote a letter to the Sultan, expressing tle hope that Said Pasha would | not be harmed. Placards denouncing the Sultan were posted on the morning of December 10 in all of the principal mosques ‘and at the gate of the Yildiz palace, the Sultan’s resi- dence.

She s: Marcus Daly Likely to Send a String of Racers io England. NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 11.—Marcus Daly, the copper king of Montana, is credited with a desire to follow the ex- ample of Richard Croker, Pierre Lorillard, August Belmont, “Foxy” Keene and a few others and race his horses in England. Messrs. Belmont and Lorillard are al- ready sick of their English invasion. The best of the yearlings they shipped from this country have died as a result of pneumonia contracted during the sea voyage. Matt Byrnes, trainer for Daly, who is the richest Irishman in the world, is now in Montana trying the yearlings bred there and is trying to persuade Daly not to tempt fate in England. Daly gaveupa California campaign this winter because he wanted to try England, and it will be hard to persuade him from his plans, Daly’s object is to ‘boom” Montana, where all his interests are, as a breeding country, and he will not send them to England unless his youngsters try out un- usually well. inners at New Orleans.

SIT THE SPEAKER iMr. McLachlan Boomed for a Chairmanship by . Californians. POSITIONS IN PROSPECT. Probable Committee Assignments of Pacific Coast Dele- gates. HUNTINGTON'S ACTIVE LOBBY. Congressman Boatner of Louisiana Fears That the Funding Bill Will Pass. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—A number of Californians called in 2 body upon Speaker Reed to-day to urge the as- signment of Repr esentative McLachlan to the Committee on Rivers and Harbors. In the party were Henry Z. Osborne of the Los Angeles Express, General Friedrich, General Chipman, Mayor Rader of Los Angeles, National Committeeman Strother i Nevada and Representatives Hilborn and Bowers. Mr. Reed listened to what the Californians had to say, and replied: “Gentlemen, I am glad yon called. You can share my sorrows. There are more | applicants for the River and Harbor Com- mittee than any other committee in the House. There are only six vacancies on it and I have sixty applications.” It is understood that the Californians saw Mr. Reed at the request of R. C. Kernes of Missouri, who has been in the past a Santa Fe railroad man, but who now has a road | of his own in Southern California—the Los | Angeles Terminal Railroad. The Southern California roads are 2l anxious for the Government to improve the inner harbor at San Pedro—to increase | the depth from sixteen to eighteen feet, at a cost of $316,000, as recommended by Lieutenant-Colonel Beryaurd. Represen- tative McLachlan, in the House and Mr. ‘White in the Senate will urge this project. Chief of Engineers Craighill has now en- dorsed Colonel Benyaurd’s recommenda- tion and this communication is now before Congress. It will be hard to get this ap- propriation through the House, howerver, for economy will be the rule, as Speaker Reed intimated to the Californians to-day. Speaker Reed is having more trouble than he anticipated in making up his com- mittees and it is possible that they may not be announced this week. Many mem- bers are new and Mr. Reed cannot judge of their qualifications. Representative Bingham of Pennsylva- | nia, a member of the Committee on Post- offices and Postroads in the last,Con- | gress, and who has been mentioned for chairman of the committee, visited Mr. Reed, in company with Representative Loud of California, to urge the latter for the chairmanship, and it is probable that Mr. Loud will be appointed. If so Mr. Bowers will not be chairman of the Mil tary Affairs Committee, as California will | bave only one chairman. Bowers will probably be assigned to the Public Lands Committee. Hilborn is still hopeful that he wiil be a member of the Committee on Public Buildings and | Grounds. Maguire, Democrat as he is, has no choice, and if he had it would not be re- garded, so he will be satisfied with what- ever he receives. The River and Harbor. assignment »is still between Johnson, Mc- Lachlan and Barham. McLachian will probably be appointed, unless Mr. Reed selects two members from the Pacific Coast. Binger Herman of Oregon will doubtless be chairman of this committee. Representative Grove L. Johnson to-day addressed the following letter to W. H. Dimond, president of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, on the subject of Japanese immigration: ‘‘In a recent conversation with members of Congress I endeavored to call their at- tention to the unfair competition of Japanese manufacturers with American manufacturers. I could speak only from memory as to the pricesat which Japanese were laying down goods in S8an Francisco; but I could say enough to makethem realize the inevitable ruin that would come to American manufacturers unless something was speedily done to protect them against the cheap and underpaid labor of Japan. “Iwill be vleased if your organization will send me some data that I could use before the committees and in support of laws which would protect our country against this alarming invasion of America by foreign vroducts. We had, as you know, great difficulty in convincing East- ern people of the danger of Chinese 1n- vasion, because we did not commence promptly. I wish to sound the alarm at the outset of this Japanese invasion in the hope that the peopleof the East may see that it threatens their interests as well as those of California, and stop it at the out- set. The sooner you give me these facts the better it will be for all.” John Boyd, Huntington’s representative here, is making himself very conspicuous at the Capitol. He is buttonholing mem- bers of Congress at every door of the Sen- ate and House chambers. He interviewed Powers of Vermont last night on the Pacific railroads legislation. Itis gener- ally understood that Powers will be chair- man of the Committee on Pacific Roads, and his recent expressions indicate that he will do Mr. Huntington’s bidding. Mr. Boatner of Louisiana, who rendered such valuable services to Caifornia last winter, in combating Reilly’s bill, to-day stated to a CALL correspondent his belief that Huntington would be successful in getting his funding bill through Congress. It is understood that four or five bills on the subject of Pacific railroads will be pre- sented soon. Among them are bills by Maguire, Boatner and Senator Thurston, and one which will embody the views of Secretary Hoke Smith. FIRES ON THE OLYMPIA. Coal in the Bunkers Ignited by Spon- taneous Combustion. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—An official report on the fire on board the United States cruiser Olympia during the recent voyage from San Francisco to Yokohama, received at the Navy Depart- ment, shows that after leaving Honolula fire broke out no less than four aifferent times in the coal bunkers of the vessel. Fortunately the automatic temperature indicators in the bunkers worked perfectly, and each fire was quickly suppressed by taking out as much coalas possible and then sending -streams of steam upon the Test. It is stated in the reportthat the fires were caused by spontaneous combustion, induced by the quality of the coal with which the Olympia was stored. There was no danger at any time, and no damage re- sulted. The report is made by Captain Reed, commander of the Olympia. B g OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Congressman Hartman Favors the Applica- tion of the Montana Mineral Lands Act to California. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—Repre- sentative Hartman of Montana said toa CarL correspondent to-day that he favored applying the Montana-Idaho mineral lands act to California, and if he was appointed on the Public Lands Committee, as he hoped to be, would urge this legislation. “Representative Caminetti workea hard for this last winter,” said Mr. Hartman, “but was defeated through the efforts of Senators Stewart and Mitchell and in- fluences brought to bear by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Montana-Idaho act has proven to be just what our miners needed to protect mineral landsageinst the ravages of the Northern Pacific, and the same act applied to California would perform a like service for her miners against the Southern Pacitic.” General Robert Friedrich was to-day admitted to the United States Supreme Court on motion of General Chipman. General Chipman leaves to-night for Cali- fornia via Atlanta, where he will stop a day or two. H. Z. Osborne left to-night for® New York. After a dayor two there he will depart for Los Angeles. Mayor Rader of Los Angeles left for home, via Chicago. General Friedrich also left for San Fran- cisco, via Chicago, George A. Knight will remain here a day or two. Messrs. Lipp- man Sachs of San Francisco and 0. A. Hale of San Jose are now on their way home. Among to-day’s San Francisco arrivals were 8. L. Goldstein, L. Forsyth and Henry T. Scott and wife. The latter have been spending a few days in New York. WIELDING THE BYCOMT, Many Factories Come Under the Ban of the Federation of Labor. National Parties Will Be Asked to Make a Stand Upon the Eight. Hour Question. NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 11.—Among the resolutions introduced at the American Federation of Labor session this morning | was one by Vice-President T. J. Elderkin, denouncing dual organizations, especially “the Socialistic Council of Chicago.” “I desire to call your attention,” he said, ““to a grave danger which confronts the federation, namely, the existence of a duality of organization within the ranks of the federation. This practice, if con- tinued, will eventually place the federa- tion in the condition of antagonistic ele- ments. That this is a menace to trades unionism no sane person carf deny. The committee suggests the following remedy: Resolved, That the Federation of Labor shall hereafter refuse to seat as delegates any repre- sentative whose organization has within its ranks another organization comprising less than the total membership. The resolution was referred to the proper committee, Delegate White of the National Tobacco- workers’ Union announced that he had a resolution calling for a boycott on the American Tobacco Company. The resolu- tion was referred to the boycott committee, and it wasordered that a committee be appointed to try to induce the company to recognize the union. A boycott against the company has been ordered by the To- bacco-workers' Union, but has not yet been indorsed by the Federation of Labor. The committee on resolutions reported favorably a resolution asking that all out- side trades unions be invited to become affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. A resolation by Samuel Gompers against capital punishment was adopted. A resolution to the effect that the repre- sentatives of the two great political parties be interrogated as to their position regard- ing the eight-hour workday went to the committee. A resolution by Andrew Furu- seth of San Francisco, protesting against the passage in Congress of the compulsory arbitration bill, was adopted. The committee on labels and boycotts reported favorably upon the adoption of a uniform boot and shoe workers’ label. This gave rise toa debate upon the proposed amalgamation of the Boot and Shoe Makers’ National Union and the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union of Chicago. Finally the resolution was laid upon the tabie un- til to-morrow. A resolution having for its object the more active prosecution of the cott against the United States Bakihg Com- pany was adopted. Resolutions commit- ting the convention to the indorsement of boycotts upon the Rochester Clothiers’ Ex- change and on certain tirms employing cigar-makers in Detroit were adopted. George B. McNeill, “‘the father of labor organizations’’ in the United States, then delivered a short address and when he concluded an adjournment was taken until to-morrow morning. CALLED IT A FAITH CURE. Alleged Kecovery of a Woman Who Haa Been in Bed for Years. LEBANON, Pa., Dec. 11.—Miss Cath- erine Shroff, aged 34 years,\is one of the happiest women in the city to-day. She had been confined to bed for five years a victim of nervous prostration, and her case was given up by the attending physicians, who said that she wouid never regain the use of her lower limbs. Six months ago Rev. J. H. von Neid, pastor of Salem United Brethren Church, of which Miss 8hroff is a member, had Dr. John Alexan- der Dowie, the divine healer of Chicago, interested in her benalf, and yesterday between the hours of 9 and 9:30 o’clock was fixed as the time of the deliverance. Dr. Dowie instructed Rev. von Neid to pray for Ms Shroff at that time, while he would do the same at his home, the in- valid to do likewise. As the time drew nigh when she was to be relieved she offered a fervent prayer, while Rev. von Neid was similarly engaged at his home. At several minutes before 9:30 o’clock Mrs. Shroff went to her daughter’s beaside and commanded her to rise. This the dangh- ter did, and when she discovered that her faith bad made her whole her joy was great and she lifted her voice in praise and thanksgiving for her restoravion. Eaeh e s An Old Feud and Clubs. BRAZIL, Inp., Dec. 11.—A bloody fight occurred at Howsville in this county last night between George and Henry Snyder and William Cahill and his 18-year-old son.

GLOUCESTER, Mass., Dec. 11.—Fears are entertained for the safety of the schooner J. 8. Carr, which sailed from here August 20 on a cod-fishing trip to Grand Bank with a-crew of sixteen men. HEARNE ON THE RACK, His Trial for the Murder ‘of Amos J. Stillwell Begun. CASE OF THE STATE. The Prosecution Outlines the Evidence Against the Doctor. STORY OF THE ALLEGED CRIME. The Prisoner Accused of Slaying an Old Man That He Might Marry His Widow, BOWLING GREEN, Mo., Dec. 1.—The actual trial of Dr. Joseph C. Hearne for the murder of Amos J. Stillwell began to- day. Many ladies were in attendance in the crowded courtroom when the trial opened at 10 o’clock. When the jury was sworn Attorney Dry- den for the defense announced that with a few exceptions, on which he thought the State’s attorneys could agree, he would like all witnesses excluded during the tak- ing of the testimony. The list of witnesses for whom subpenas have been returned was read. Colonel Dryden insisted that the State disclose all witnesses it expected to call. The prosecution refused to do this. The court withheld a ruling until those additional witnesses should be called and declared that the State must take upon itself the responsibility of having this tes- timony admitted. The State’s attorneys, apparently being afraid to take chances, asked for time to consult. At 11:30 court adjourned until 1:30 ». M. to give them this opportunity. When court met after luncheon, H. Clay Heather, prosecuting attorney of Marion County, said that rather than jeopardize the State’s case by leaving any possible opening for a reversal by the Su- preme Court he had prepared a list of all witnesses who had been subpenaed by the State. The list was handed to the lawyers for the defense, He then reaa to the jury the indictment against Dr. Hearne charg- ing him and Mrs. Hearne with having murdered Amos J. Stillwell on December 29,1889. While it was being read, Mrs. Hearne and her two stepdaughters en- tered. Mr. Heather next made the opening statement to the jary. He said that it would be necessary for the State, in order to secure a conviction under the indict- ment, to prove first that Amos. J. Stillwell was murdered. and then that Dr. Hearne was the murderer. The State would rely wholly on circumstantial evidence. Mr. Heather reviewed the case, begin- ning with the trip East made by Mr. Still- well when he first met and married the woman who is now Fannie C. Hearne. He was then over 50 years of age and she was a girl of 22. He vrought her to Han- nibal and installed her in his home, and she was recognized at once as the leader of a swagger set. In Hannibal at that time was Joseph O. Hearne, a doctor, married. As time went by Dr. Hearne's wife died and Mrs. Stillwelf grew tired of being an old man’s darling. She said frequently to intimate friends that she wished she had a young husband, a strong young man like Dr. Hearne. Dr. Hearne heard’ this and began paying her attentions so marked asto be commented upon freeiv. Their relations were discovered by the aged hus- band. Mrs. Stillwell told her frienas that Dr. Hearne had hypnotized her so she could not give him up. Their relations grew so scandalous that the story crept into the papers, and then came the murder at midnight, after Mr. and Mrs. Stillwell had returned from a ward party. Mr. Heather detailed the events follow- ing the discovery of the murder. His de- seription of the finding of the body of the murdered millionaire, with his head cleft to the shoulders by a swinging blow of an ax, was graphic, and during its recital there was a silence that was intense in the courtroom. Dr. Hearne leaned back in his chair, with one arm thrown over the back, listening to every word, but with no sign of particular interest. Mrs. Hearne bent forward and lost not a word. Hereyes watched the jury and looked up and down the two rows of faces, but not a muscle of her body moved. The fixed frown never relaxed and the lips were never opened. It was almost painful to see that unchange- able look of concentrated thought that sat on her face. All of the love affairs of Mrs. Hearne will be fully told at this trial. Her peti- tion for divorce, which was filed in Califor- nia in 1894, will be in evidence. She was divorced from Dr. Hearne on August 10, and they were remarried on September 22, 1804, The petition 1n the divorce case had laid bare the domestic infelicity of the two. She claimed that Hearne never gave her a dollar, but lived on her money: that he beat her cruelly and threatened to kill her; that he tore her clothes off, cursed her habitually, wished her dead and caged her in a room for hours at a time. Victims of Pickpockets. FRANKPORT, Ky., Dec. 11.—Reports have reached the Chief of Police that over 200 persons were robbed during the in- auguration yesterday by pickpockets. Among the losses are: Lieutenant-Gov- ernor Worthington, $35; ex-Chief Justice W. H. Hoit, $25; Senator Stewart, $1000; Colonel Bennett, Richmond, Ky.. $2000, partly notes.

Congress Memorialized to Restore the McKinley Tariff. PHILADELPHIA, PA., Dec. 11.—The Philadelphia Wool Merchants’ Associa- tion adopted a memorial to-day praying for the re-enactment of that portion of the tariff law of 1890 with respect to wool and ‘woolens, called schedule K, for the follow- ing reasons: In order that the revenue therefrom may provide the treasury against the deficiency which threatens the Government’s financial position. In order that the great number of farmers and wool-growers may obtain fairly remuner- ative prices for their product and preserve their ll(eldi depleted flocks from destruction.

CHICAGO, ILL., Dec. 11.—Francis J. Kennett, of the firm of Kennett, Hopkins & Co., was suspended last night from the Chicago Board of Trade for five years on the charge of unmercantile conduct, in that he dealt in commodities without a bona fide sale and purchase for actual delivery.
