By this means the secrets of the campaign are kept until time for action. Late to-night 1t was learned authorita- tively that plans are effected for seating Dunlap in the House to-morrow. The matter is being kept very secret. Dunlaf’s presence in the joint assembly will be the occasion for a Democratic storm.

Ohio’s Ex-Governor Talks of the Prob- lems of the Campaign. CINCINNATI, Onro, March 12.—In an interview to-day ex-Governor Campbeil 1 any good man who wants 1t can have Democratic nomination for President this year. He denied that he wasa candi- date. +“Who will be the neminee?” “Whitney and Matthews would makea splendid ticket if they would accept. New York and Indiana are a good old Demo- cratic combination, and I don’t know how we would feel if the two States were not both represented on the ticker.” But I believe,” he continued, “that the next President will be elected by the House of Representatives. There will be a fight in both the National conventions between the extreme gold men and the extreme men. Both are cranks. The two as Democrats and Republicans bave really no difference on the money question. The silver men will ot be sat- isfied with the Republican platform and thev will bolt and lose the party enough States to throw the election of the Presi- dent into the House.” “What sort of money planks will the National platforms contain?” “That T cannot say, but this is the day of straddles. The Revublican party claims to favor a gold standard, vet none of the leaders wilt come out and declare for it in <o many words. If McKinley hasdone it I have not heard of it. Therefore, a com- promise plank with the Republicans will be a straddle.” “f hat are your views on the money questicn?” «I want international free coinage of ilver at the ratio of 153 to 1. I consider ingle gold standard advocates as wrong on one side as I be- lieve single silver standard men on the otber. I am opposed to our country going ahead alone and coining free. No one nation can do it and but the United Statss, Germany d France could do it without England’s cr-operation.

Work of the Democrats of the District of Columbia. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12.—The District of Columbia Democratic conven- tion to-day selected six delegates to the Chicago convention and adopted a plat- form indorsing the administration of President Cleveland, declaring for home rule in the distribution of local offices to residents of the District of Columbia, and reaflirming the plank of 1856 in regard to Know-nothingism in its relation to the American Protective Association. No action was taken on financial matters. The following delegates were elected: William Holman, R. Mattingly, Frank P. Morgan, John Boyle, George Killen and E. L. Jordan. TWO CONVENTIONS CALLED.

The first to meet, April 22, will select delegates to the National con- vention at St. Louis. The second, called for August 12, will nominate a candidate for Governor.

Impossible at Present to Tell How the Vote Stands in This Battle Royal. SANTA ROSA, Car., March 12.—The interest in the voting contest for a Rose Queen was largely increased to-day when it became known that Healdsburg and Petaluma would each have a candidate in the race. A large number of people from Pétaluma have been in town this week at- tending court, and votes are being fairly | rained into the box for Miss Edith Brown. fire, presumsbly by two tramps, and to- tally destroyed. The building wasinsured for $200 and the hay for several hundred. Several adjoining buildings were saved through the exertions of the Fire Depart- ment and the ample supply of water be- longing to the city. The men were not sleeping 1n the barn, and it is a _mystery how they could set the barn on fire from the inside, as all the doors were padlocked, and the place had not been opened the day before. —— z INDIAN KIDNAPING. Little Girl Twice Abducted From the Colville Reservation. SPOKANE, Wasn., March 12. —Word has just been received from the Colville reservation that the little Indian girl who was abducted some months ago by a couple of Indians, who took {er to the mountains and assaulted her, is again missing. After weeks of rearch the men_ were found and brought into this city and are now in the County Jail waiting trial at the spring term of the United States Conrt. The girl has been living with her grand- father, and being a valuable witness for the prosecution the defendants are said to have connived to see that she was taken away, and it-is charged by a number of their friends swooped down on the home of her grand- father and carried her again to the moun- tains, so that she cannot appear asa wit- ness against the two men. Deputy Mar- shals have gone to the reservation with the hope of securing the girl as well as the arrest of those who have carried her off a second time. SEATTLE’S MISSING MAN, Nothing Has Been Heard of George W. Lysle for Two Weeks. SEATTLE, Wasn., March 12.—Two weeks ago Monday night, while suffering | from temporary insanity, brought on by spinal trouble, George W.

This National | advisory commitiee was appointed: Mrs. | I M Gray of California, Miss Frances ! Willard of Illinois, E. A. Tod of Michigan, | H. E. Cole of Pennsylvania and P. L. Do- | heny of Texas. A iy A DEMOCRATIC DISRUPTION. It Is Threatened in Michigan on the Silver Question. LANSING, Mrcx., March 12.—A serious disruption in the ranks of the Democratic | party in this State is threatened. A con- | ference of the free-silver element of the party was called here to-day. While the attendance was not larze, it was represen | tative, and letters were read from some of | the most prominent Democrats in the State pledging their support in any, action that might be taken. This afternoon it was decided to form a party to be known as the Free-silver Demo- | eratic party of Michigan. A State Central Committee was appointed, of which Charles 8. Hampton of Petoskey was made chairman and George P. Hummer of Hol- land secretary. On the State Central Com- | mittee are some of the best-known men in the State. A committee will appear before the Democratic State Convention at Detroit next month, and if silver is not given recognition the silver men will bolt. The committee has prepared an address to the Democratic voters of the Stat EUKEKA AND PORTLAND. Banguet to Promote Trade Relations Be- tween the Two Cities. EUREKA, Can, March 12.—Extensive preparations are being made for the fifth annual banquet of the Chamber of Com- | merce, to be held in this city Friday even- ing at the Vance Dining Parlors. Ar- rancements for 200 persons have been made. A committee from the Portland Cham- ber of Commerce will arrive to-morrow on the steamer South Coast and the question of establishing trade communication be- tween Eureka and Portland will be thor- ouzhly discussed. Eureka business men, since the inaugn- ration of trade with Portland, have en- joyed many privileges heretofore with- | heid from them. Shipments of shingles, ) doors and butter from this port are finding a ready market in northern trade centers. A strong sentiment for fostering this trade prevails everywhere. Among the list of guests invited trrom abroad ar- the following: Colonel Sutter, Major Davis, Cnflmm Gillette, Lieutenant Dekyne, Judge R. R. Carpenter, S. J. Par- sons, 8. B. Foster and others. this | Miss Brown is the daughter of the late John McAllen Brown of Petaluma and re- sides with her mother in the handsome “McBrown” residence on D street in that | city. Sheisa tall and graceful brunette, with dark, dreamy eyes, and almost perfect complexion, and is said to have the most beautiful head of hair in Petaluma. A del-gation from the northern end of the county surrounded the ballot-boxes of Miss Mamie Swain of Healdsburg. Miss Swain is one of the prettiest of the many pretty girls of Healdsburg and her win- ning manners and sunny disposition make her very popular in the society of that so- ciable town. She is a plump demi-blonde of medium height, with dark eyelashes that fringe a pair of deep brown eyes such as Fred Emerson Brooke writes of, and if selected for queenly honors would be every | inch a queen. The latest report places Miss Annie | Koch of this city in the lead. This popu- | lar young lady was born and raised in Santa Rosa and would make an ideal queen. She has clear-cut, regular features, sparkling eyes and is blessed with that “blush rose” complexion that pure airand a fine climate give io Cali- fornia giris. Many other candidates are being voted | for, and new names are coming in hourly. The vote bas not been officially an- nounced yet, and daily reports will not be made by the election committee for several days. Professor Roncovieri, the leader of the | American Concert Band, will be present at | meeting of the directors to-night, and the | question of music for the carnival will be | settled. gt ILUICIT BRANDY SEIZED. Government Agents Make a Big Haul at | Henry Bolle’s Distillery. SANTA ROSA, Car., March 12.—An im- portant seizure of illicit brandy was made near this city to-day by United States revenue officers. For some time it has been suspected thatsome of the wineries and distilleries in tais section were turn- ing out brandy that the Government Te- | ceived no revenue from, and the local revenue officers have been on th' alert. To-day Colonel B. F. Cromwell, special revenue agent, and B. M. Thomas, his assistant, arrived from San Francisco and, on being joined by Deputy Collector Buck- | ingham of Ukiah and United States Gauger John McMinn Jr., proceeded at once to the winery and distillery of Henry | Bolle, about slx miles east of this city. The distillery was first searched and everything there found to be all right and the party at once proceeded to search the big stone winery. ‘This move on the part of the officers was apparently unexpected, for snugly concealen among the cas! f wine_ were about 600 gallons of illicit brandy in packages. The whole plant, including over 6000 gal- lons of wine and brandy, was at once seized and placed 1n charge of an officer. | The Henry Bolle place consists of 544 acres of land, of which about 75 acres are set in the vg? best resistant vines. The buildings and improvements are all new and up to date, and the entire place is valued at $25,000.

His Iriends incline to the former theory, though his brother, John Lysle, a freight clerk on the steamer State of Washingion, when seen to night said he still had hopes that the worst had not happened. | . Lysle sustained an injury to his spine, | from which he never fully recovered, though able to conduct a more or less suc- cessful business, many years ago while re- siding in Cincinnati, where two uncles of the late John W.

STOCKTON, Car., March 12.—Frank D. Nicol, chairman of the Democratic County Committee, this afternoon appointed H. | J. Corcoran, W. J. McCullum and W. M. | Gibson as a committee to go to San Fran- cisco and present Stockton’s claims for the Democratic State Convention when the matter of selecting a convention city comes up for consideration before the State Central Committee on Satnrday next. There is quite a little row in the local Democracy over the action of Frank H. Gould, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, in refusing to pariici- pate in the effort to bring the convention 1o this city. Mr. Gould absolutely refused to appoint any committee or to take any action in the ratter at all, giving as his reasons that as chief officer of the committee he had no rifimto do anytbing before the meeting calculated to influence the action of the committee.s The friends of Governor Budd and Chair- man Gould are at logeerheads and have been for some time, and Mr. Gould’s op- ponents seized on his action as a pretense for making a bitter attack upon him in an evening paper. They claim tnat > Gould is in reality working for Sacra- | mento, and make this the basis for their story that he is not standing in with the local Democracy. Accident to a Merce Oyclist, MERCED, Car., March 12.— r. 8, O. Cassidy of Snelling met witu an accident to-day in which he had his left thigh broken. He was going from the latter place to La Grange. about seven miles dis- tant, on his bicycle, and in going down a hilt lost control of the machine and was thrown heavily to the ground. Assistance came and he was taken to his home, where the wounded limb was atiended to. S REK An Insolrent Santa Barbaran. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., March 12.— 'W. J.

This will call in $200,000 and increase the paid up capital to $500,- 000. The assessment is made payable at once and not later than April i3. The full board of directors was present, and they were all in favor of the assess- ment. Thedirectors hold a large majority of the stock, and it is understood that they will pay their assessments in at once. Vice-President Findlay said this after- noon that as soon as the stockhoiders met the assessment the bank would open for business. He said that the statement made by a San Francisco paper that C. T. Ryland held a first mortgage on the Shasta Lumber Company for $75,000 was not true. He said the first mortgage was held by the San Jose Safe Deposit Bank. L SIS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

The resolution was passed with the | single protest of Martin Murphy, a son of Hon. B. D. Murphy. —_— QUARREL LOVERS SETTLED. | Anselmo D. Bittencourt Agrees to Wed Mary J. Bowen. SAN JOSE, Can., March 12—The estranged relations existing between Mary J. Bowen and Anselmo D. Bittencourt for | some time on account of the latter’s refusal to carry out his promise of marriage are about to be patched up. Both parties are Portuguese. About a month ago arrange- | ments were made for a marriage, but at :; the last moment Bittencourt backed out. Miss Bowen then charged Bittencourt with deceiving her under promise of mar- riage. His examination was to have been held to-day, but as he agreed to keep his promise the case was continued and will probably be dropped. As evidence of Bittencourt’s intention to carry out his promise an agreement was filed in the Recorder’s office thi5 afternoon, whereby he agrees to marry Miss Bowen before June I, 1896. - In case of failure to fulfill his part of the agreement he aurees to give Miss Bowen two lots in the Hyde Park Tract. ¥ et DIFORCE DENIED, Mrs. Starkey’s Complaint Against Her HAusband Not Establithed.

Since then she has refused to live with him. Mrs. Starkey asked for the | custody of the turee children and $45 a { month™ alimony. Considerable evidence was introduced to show that Starkev had | always provided for his family and Judge Reynolds denied the prayer for divorce.

PORTLAND, Or., March 12.—A $10,000 damage suit for seduction is attracting much attention here—that of Pricilla Girard against Edgar Grimm, a promi- nent married lawyer. The hearing began this morning. Mrs. Girard said she was 29 vears of age and that she had eight children—seven by her husband, who died in 1892, and one by the defendant. She also claimed that her eldest child was now 17 years of age, which, if true, would make hera motherat the age of 12. An effort was made to introduce in evidence the child in dispute to show the similarity in its features and those of the defendant, but the court, probably realizing the error in_judgment liable to resuit from such evidence, ruled the exhibit out. R e WOODLANI’S FRUIT CANNERY. Enterprising Business Mers Assure the Swuccess of the Project. WOODLAND, Car., March 12.—An en- thusiastic meeting of the citizens and business nien was held this afternoon to discuss the cannery project. Messrs.

JONES THAL AT CARSD, Inspector Mason Tells the Jury What He Knows About Bogus Melts. Other Witnesses Testify as to the Defendant’s Transactions in Stocks. CARSON, Ngv., March 12.—The morn- ing session 1n the trial of John T. Jones, the alleged bullion thief, opened with Andrew Mason resuming his testimony. *The spurious melt,”’ he said, ‘‘could have been made from two to five ounces short in weight and never have been de- tected. It would have been impossible to make the bogus melt in Feoruary, 1893. It must have been made by June, 1893. 1t could have been made by taking silver melts containing a little gold or adding a little base metal. I account for the un- usual surplus of 1895 in silver to the trans- murtation of gold for silver in making bogus melts. Witness thought that every rich melt might be bogus. It would be possible for the refiner to substiiute any metal and send it to the assaver for assaying. The only way to aetect i1t would be for some one to discover 1t. Inspectors were present in the settlements of 1891, 1892 and 1893. Jones had told the United States Attorney that he had probably $18,000 or $20.000 he hed made in stocks. Detective Gallagher then took the stand. He said he had a conversation with John T. Jones at Bryson’s saloon and Jones had stated that he borrowed $2000 and by stock transactions had made $30,000. Jones siated that he knew he was susp:cted and wished to assist all he could 1n the investigation. 2 G. R. Chandler, clerk of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank of San Francisco, was the next witness. He testified that he had exam- ined the records of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank. Defendant had stocks of several mines—Con. Virginia and Overman. The profit as shown by the books was $21 on 200 shares of Con. Virginia mining stock. T. R. Hofer, Wells, Fargo & Co.’s agent at Carson and cashier of the Bullion Bank, was then called. -He testified that he had { made an account of Jones’ transactions with said bank and that the stock trans- actions from September 23, 1391, to De- cember 6, 1392, showed a loss of $250 22. T. R. Hofer, cashier of the Buliion Bank, and Colonel Ives of the San Francisco Stock-brokers’ Association, showed that the defendant had lost money in stocks, not having made in stock speculations the large sums he squandered. George McLaughlin was again recalled to give expert test:mony regarding the stamping ot the spurious bars to show its | age. Witness gave a detailed account of | his stamping of the bars and their differ- | ent temperatures. The bar stamped had | been placed in the custody of the clerk of | the court. The bar was produced in court. It was one of the spurious bars. The spurious bar that had been heated and stamped was placed alongside the one that had not been so treated, and the witness stamping and color. They were very much interested in the exhibit and crowded around the witness. The object of the testimony was to show that the spurious bars were stamped hot and therefore melted in 1893. Hot and cold stampine had been @one on the same bar and the jurors were shown the differ- ent appearance through a glass. The die that stamped the bar in settlement had - been broken since the stamping was done as a piece of the tignre 4 was chipped ount. Chris Zabriskie, a very important witness for the Government, was expected to-day but was delayed. He will arrive in the morning and the Goternment expects to show by this witness that Jones was short in his accounts several thousand dollars in the bank of Candelaria before he wentinto the mint and obtained his position in the mint through parties who wanted him to make good his shortage and they com- pelled him to give up a certain sum every month of his official salary. e S ACCIDENT AT CORVALLIS. Workman Pinned to the Floor by a Heavy Printing Pre. CORVALLIS, Or., March 12.—A heavy printing press was being moted upstairs in the postoffice building at 11 A. . to-day when the chain by which it was being hoisted broke. The press fell down the entire flight of stairs, struck W. T. Hoff- man and pinned him to the floor. He was released and carried to tbhe Hemphill House and medical aid summoned. He was badly mutilated and suffered intense agony until his death, which occurred at 4 P oM. ton, was intended for new Popalist paper to be edited by Mr. Hoffman. R SUICIDE AT PHENIX.
