THE SAN. FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1896. — e N e e e S RIVER AND HARBOR BILL 15 PASSED, Only Nine Votes Against the Measure in the Senate. | AMENDMENTS KILLED. Gorman, Allen and Bate Are Active Leaders of the Minority. FRYE OF MAINE GROWS ANGRY And Declares the Nebraska Senator Doesn’t Know What He Is Talking About. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—The river and harbor bill was passed in the Senate to-day, leaving only three of the annual appropriation bills to be acted on. These are the District of Columbia bill, the fortification and the deficiency bill, but beiore either of them is taken up recommitted the case to the Committee on Elections No. 1, with instructions to re- count such parts of the vote deemed proper. —_— TURKEY DISPLEASED. Why the Sick Man Changes His Minister to This Country. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—Itis rumored that Mavroyni Bey’s recall as Turkish Minister to the United States was due to the displeasure felt by his Govern- ment over the passage by Congress of the Armenian resolutions. He will be snc- ceeded by Mustafa Tachsin Bey, principal assistant in the Turkish Foreign Office. The action of the President 1n summon- ing Alexander W. Terrell, United States Minister to Turkey, from his Texas home to Washington was not based on any new or serious ‘developments in the Turkish situation. His presence here is desired for purposes of consultation and the infer- ence is given that the matter concerns an official appointment. e s M THE POLICE CHIEFS. Adgree to Adopt a National Standard System of laentification. ATLANTA, Ga., May 13.—With the sec- ond day’s session of the National Police Chiefs’ Convention the president was em- powered to name a committee to adopt the Bertillon system of identification. This would be a standard system cf the police departments of the country when adopted. Nearly the whole morning was consumed in discussing this question, and George M. Porteous of Chicago, the repre- sentative of the system, explained its | workings very carefully. Chief W. J. Mc- Kelvey delivered a very fine address on | what ~ constitutes a good police officer. The chiefs enjoyed an old-fashioned barbe- cue at Cold Spring this evenin, the Delaware Senatorial election case wiil have to be-disposed of, and to that case to- morrow and Friday have been assigned. The amendment which had been offered to the river and harbor bill yesterday b, Gorman of Maryland limiting expend ture under the bill to §10,000,000 a year was to-day after a long discussion laid on the table by a vote of 40 to 23. An amendment, in the same sense lim- iting expenditures under contracts to 20 per cent was offered by Bate of Tennessee and met a like fate. Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska said that he wasnot at all surprised that Republican | Senators 1ld support the bill and should authorize the making of large con- tracts for the expenditure of money, but he was surprised that the Democratic Sena- tors should do so. The contracts provided for in the bill would be made by a Republican Secretary of War if present prospects should by realized, and they woald doubtless be made with a class of gentlemen who would be willing to contribute very largely to the support of the Republican party in {his campaign. ! The pending bill, AHen added, carried | appropriations for the improvement of six- | teen different creeks and of one millpond. H did not recall any ditch, although he lieved there was one ditch in New York provided for. As soon as they got throush estuaries and lagoons and bayous and creexs and ditches, he supposed they | would provide for the millponds. ared angrily that the Senator raska ‘had been talking of & knew nothing about. The Sen- from 2 thing be ator from the bill before he undertook to talk about bayous and creeks and millponds. In response to the criticisms passed READY 1O FGHT BACK | | Senate Bill to Retaliate Against Germany's Commercial Warfare. | Called Forth by the Reichstag's In- crease of the Bounty on Raw | Exported Sugar. | - WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—The Senate Committee on Commerce will take up for consideration to-morrow Senator Perking' bill imposing countervailing duties on all products of American growth and American manufacturers. This bill is somewhat similar to that introduced some time ago in the House by Representative Meiklejohn of Nebraska, with this excep- tion, that it is more comprehensive and much wider in its scope. The motive actuating the introduction of this bill was the threat of the German Government, which has always been hos- tile to American products and manu- facturers, of increasing the export duty on raw and refined sugars. This threat was consummated vesterday when the Reichs- tag increased the export bounty on both raw and refined sugars. Messrs. Willett and Gray, the recog- nized Wall-street authorities on sugars, to-day sent information to interested parties in Washington of the purport of the new German Jaw and its effect on American beet and cane sugar product. This information shows that Germany has increased her bounty on raw exported sugars from 1314 cents to 27 cents per 100 pounds, or just double the amount of bounty now paid by ber, and on refined had better investigate | = upon the bill Frye stated some facts in illustration of the immense growth of the | railroad, and lake commerce of the United States. The railroad freight, he | said, had been cut down within the last | twenty vears from 3} cents a ton a mile | to about three-quarters of a centaton a | ile, and yet the people wanted cheaper frei That requirement could only be met by improving water facilities, and for that son the intelligent people of the United tes were everywhere asking for river and harbor improvements. was then taken and the river and bill was passed by a vote of 57 to h, Allison, Bacon, Baker, Berry, lackburn, Burrows, Butler, Caffery, Cam- , Cannon, Carter, Chandler, Cockrell, Cul- , Dubois, Elkins, Faulkner, Frye, Gear, George, Gray, Hansbrough, Jones of Nevads, Lindsay, Lodee, Mc- fantle, Martin, Mills, Mitchell of Oregon, rell of Wisconsin, Nelson, Pasco, Peffer, Gal inger, Hawl kins, Platt, Pugh, Quay, Roche, Sewell, rman, Shoup, Squire, Stewart, Teller, Thurs- Turpie, Vest, Walthall, Warren, Wetmore, White and Wilson—57. Noes—Allen, Bate, Brown, Chilton, Harris, Kyle, Smith and Vilas—9. On motion of Frye tbe Senate insisted upon the amendments, and the following | conferrees were appointed: Frye, Quay and Vest. The foliowing bills were taken from the calendar and passed: Authorizing the con- struction of a bridge over the Mississippi River to the city of St. Louis; amending an act granting pensions to the survivors f the Indian wars from 1832 to 1842, so as to include a remnant of old and decrepit men who served in these early Indian wars, not yet on the pension-rolls; amend- ing the acts relating to the United States courts in Indian Territory. Mitchell (R.) of Oregon modified his previous notice by stating that he would call up the resolution for an amendment 1o the Constitution providing for the elec- | tion of United States Senators by popular | vote, after the conclusion of all appropria- tion bills, save the general deficiency. Hill gave notice that as soon as that order was disposed of he would«all up the contempt of court bill recently reported from the Committee on Judiciary. The unobjected House bills on the calen- dar were taken up and the following, among others, were passed: Fixing at 10 ts the maximum price for uncertified | printed copies of specifications and draw- | ings of patents; permitting the Secretary | of the Navy to accept certified checks in lieu of the bond now required of the con- tractors for naval supplies; making one year’s residence in a Territory prerequi- site to obtaining adivorce there (with amendments). At 6 p. M. the Senate adjourned until to- Iorrow. ey ey IN THE HOUSE. The Day Bpent in Considering a Con- tested Election Case. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—The House was mainly occupied to-day in the consideration of the Rinaker - Downing contested election case, Cooke (R.) of Illinois resuming his argument in favor of Rinaker. The debate continued until night, thoigh several motions to adjourn were interjected and defeated during the dis- cusdion. The debate was participated in by Lacey (R.) of llinois in favor of Down- ing and Daizell (R.) of Pennsylvania, who zave reasons for not assenting to the re- port for unseating Downing. Hepburn (R.) of lowa and Connolly (R.) of Ilinois strongly favored the seating of Rinaker. At 8:20 the House by a vote of 139 to 35 sugars from 2114 cents to 2814 cents per 100 pounds. To compensate herself for the increased bounty, she has advanced the tax on sugar for home consumption from 18 to 21 marks. This means nothing less than commercial warfare. Senators Perkins and White were seen to-day and shown the cablegram received from Berlin by Willett and Gray. They expressed the intention of immediately 1g the passage of some remedial slation. Senator Caffery of Louisiana, who isa member of the Senate Committee on Com- merce and whose constituents are greatly interested in the proposed legislation, told THE CALL correspondent that he was Satis- fied the Perkins bill would be favorably re- | ported to the Senate. Senator Frye, chairman of the com- | mitree, is well disposed toward the adop- tion of some retaliatory measure and the prospect of the bill’s favorable considera- tion by the committee appears to be good. What its fate in the Senate will be is problematical, but if the coun- | try 'is generally given to understand that by means of gifts, donations, or bounties it is possible for foreign govern- ments to not only displace the products of American growth and manufacture, but to invade our own markets to the detriment of our products, the action of Congress may readily be foreseen. hould the Perkins bill pass the Senate it would have smooth sailing through the House, as the sentiment at that end of the Capitol building is strongly in favor of re- taliating upon the foreign Governments wkose products are now flooding our markets. MAPPING U BUSINESS, The Republican Steering Com- mittee of the Senate Holds a Conference. Calling Up of the Bankruptcy, Immi. gration and Free Alcohol Bills Discussed. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—The Republican Senate steering committee had a meeting this evening to consider the order of business, but was unable to come to any conclusion, and adjourned to meet again Saturday morning. At that time, if a conclusion is reached, a caucus of the Republicans of the Senate will be called, to meet Monday morning. The several matters for which attention is being urged by Senators were taken up and discussed. There appeared to be a feeling that it would be unwise to permit the calling up of the bills for the estab- lishment of a uniform system of bank- ruptey, for the refundiug of the debt of the Pucific railroads and like measures which will precipitaie a prolonged debate, The immigration bill now on the calen- dar appears to meet with general commen- dation and the committee believed it could be called up with reasonable probaoility of its passage. This will probably be pro- vided for. o ‘The bill to repeal the free alcohol in the arts clause of the present tariff bill was also discussed for some time, but no con- clusion was reached. There is a marked division of sentiment in the Republican ranks on this question, but the indications are that the committee will report to the caucus in favor of giving this measure a day at court. Vhether it can be passed is a question the committee does not presume to an- swer. It is understood that the House will pass the repeal as an independent measure, and if that_is done the concur- rence of the Senate will be urged. All of these matters were permitted to stand open, however, and an effort will be made to dispose of them detinitely by next Saturday. l JOCKEY HOGAN BULED OF, Well-Known Rider Pun- ished for Pulling a Favorite ON THE CHICAGO TRACK Louisville Crowd Disappointed on Account of Dwyer Buying Ben Eder AND THEN SCRATCHING BRUSH Half the Card Goes to Favorites on the St. Louis Race- track.

CHICAGO, ILr., May 13.—The biggest kind of a wrangle ended the game to-day. At the end of the tenth inning it was al- most too dark to continue, but Keefe re- fused to call the game.

He should develop into a fine pitcher, as he has speed and fine curves. Score by Innings o Umpire, Mr. NEWMARKET RACES. Pierre Lorillard’s Awmerican Horses Cap- ture Several Good Events.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—Morse (D.) of Massachusetts, from the Commit- tee on Alcoholic Liquor Traflic, reported to the House to-day with therecommendation that it pass a bill providing for the ap- pointment by the President of a commis- sion of five persons whose duty it shall be 10 investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic, its relation to revenue and taxation and its general economic, criminal, moral and scientific aspects in connection with pau- perism, crime, social vice, the public health and general welfare of the people; and also to inquire into and take testi- mony as to the practical results of license and prohibitory legisiation for the pre- vontion of intemperance. An appropria- tion of $10,000 is made to defray the ex- penses of the commission. e FOR CITIZENS ONLY. Senator Hill’s Bill for Their Employment on Public Works. WASHINGTON, D. May 13.—In the Senate to-day Hill introduced a bill which provides that no person not a citizen of the United States shall be empioyed upon or in connection with any public works under_the control of or conducted by the United States, its Territories or the Dis- trict of Columbia. All contracts hereafter entered into are required to contain a pro- vision that this law is to be carried into effect. Violations are to be deemed as misdemeanors, punishable by a fine of from $250 to $500 and imprisonment not exceeding one year or both. McHIHLEY AND THE A P.A Objection to His Candidacy Will Probably Be With- drawn. It Is Also Understood That the Ad- visory Board Will Be Censured. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—Every indication poinis toan absolute repudiation by the Supreme Council of the A. P. A., now in session in this city, of the action taken by the executive committee of the advisory board against McKinley’s can- didacy. There has been much feeling ex- pressed over the matter and the executive committee has been severely criticized. But the membersof that body have not given any indication of a backdown, and meet the criticisms with intimations that those making the most noise in the Su- preme Council are endeavoring to get in line with his friends since McKinley has shown such strength. The trouble in the organization hes been intensified by the action of the executive committee of theadvisory board this even- ing in presenting to the boara a report ad- hering to its anti-McKinley decision. The meeting of the board was the most im- portant event of the day. A member of the executive commit- tee to-night said the report which the executive committee presented to the advisory board is in accord with the state- ment made public at the time McKinley was blacklisted. He also said that the ac- tion of the committee was based on affida- vits made by prominent Ohio men. It is likely that the advisory board will censure the executive committee. This will take the question of McKinley’s repu- diation out of the hands of the Supreme Council and will allow the advisory board to make another report to the convention. There is no doubt, however, that the question of McKinley’s candidacy will be discussed by the supreme body and as stated, the attack on McKinley will proba- bly be discarded. But before getting down to the main question the convention will have to consider a motion which will be made to-morrow referring the sabject of the executive committee’s action_and po- sition of the A. P. A. toward McKinley to a special committee for investigation. This motion will provide that the special committee shalil report on all candidates for Presidential honors. The most impor- tant matter before the convention of the Supreme Council to-day was the reading of the annual message of Supreme Presi- dent Traynor. It was generally supposed among the delegates that the” message would censure the executive committee of the advisory board for its attack upon McKinley. It is said to-night that the censure was not given. Supreme President Traynor appointed G. W. Van Fossen of Washington State, J. Colin Moore of Alabama, J. J. Rhodes of Vermont, E. Dorille of Ohio and C. E. Sapp of Kentucky as a committee to con- sider and report on the message. The report of Supreme Secretary Beatty said that 963 charters for new councils had been issued during the last year. A resolution barring from the council members of the A. P. A. who are not dele- ates to the Supreme Council caused a ong discussion at to-day’s session. The claim was made by its opponents that the secret proceedings sanctioned by the order savored too much of the star chamber to be American. This matter was not decided, and will be given further consideration. A lively canvass is being conducted for the supreme presidency. Dr. Ford, a prominent member, who went back to his home in New York, Judee Bowers of Iowa and E. H. Dunbar of Boston are consid- ered the leading candidates. State Presi- dent Rehols of Georgia is also spoken of for the office. He is a Democrat and some of the mem- bers think his selection would dispose of possible embarrassment arising from the election of some men who may have ex- Rr_eslsed themselves as for or against Mec- inley. The various committees were appointed by Supreme President Traynor to-night. s RIOT AT KIANG-YIN. The British Protestant Mission Looted and Burned by a Mob—Missionaries Escape. SHANGHAI, Cuix. May 13. — An attack was made by native rioters yester- day upon the British Protestant Mission at Kiang-Yin, which was looted and burned by the mob. The missionaries succeeded in making their escape. P gy BOTH NATIONS BLESSED. How Chamberlain iegards England’s Loss of the American Colonies. LONDON, Exg., May 13.—Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in an address at the unveiling of a memoria! win- dow in Cordwainers’ Hall, Lon- don, to-day, said that England lost the American colonies, Which form the United States, by a mistake which would not be repeated. Neyertheless Mr. Cham- berlain declared that he was inclined to think the loss a blessing to both nations if, as he devoutly wished and prayed, the two great Anglo-Saxon nations should go forward in continued peace and unity.

FALLS A SECOND TIME. The Parent's Heart Broken When Her Promise to Re- form Is Forgotten. FOLLOWS HIM TO THE GRAVE. A Swallow of Poison Ends the Un- fortunate Daughter’s Life of Shame. PORTLAND, Or.,, May 13.—Frederick A. Frisehkorn, a pioneer resident of Pori- land, died last Seturday—died through grief, it is said, and so the events that fol- low tend to show. He was buried to-day. To-day on a-slab at the morgue lies the body of his daughter, Grace Emma Frisch- korn, a suicide, the girl having taken poi- son and died in a disorderly house at Sedro, Wash., on receiving a telegram an- nouncing the death of her father. About four years ago Grace met a man named **Jack” Ormsby,who Jed herastray. Her subsequent degradation was all kept from the father until about two months ago, when he, by chance, overhearing a conversation, was made acquainted with his daughter’s downfall. Old age and busi- nessreverses had already worn his health and with the crushing news of his daugh- ter's fall he took to his bed. He still loved the Grace he remembered as a little girl, however, and during his illness pleaded that she be brougit to him. The old man’s appeals at last became so strenuous that the daughter, then at Se- dro, the logging-camp in which she com- mitted suicide, was sent for. She came, and by what promised to be her father’s deathbed vowed .to leave the life she had been leading and henceforth live a good woman. Frischkorn, overjoyed, at once began to recuperate, and five weeks ago was able to sit up and be about, every prospect pointing to his complete re- covery. Then Grace received a letter from Orms- by, asking that she come to Tacoma, where they would be married. He had secured a good position, he said, with a salary sufficient to support her nicely. The father was dubious, but on the proposal of Grace to have the younger daughter ac- company her to act as bridesmaid at the wedding he consented, and the two girls left for the sound. In ten days the younger girl was back in Portland. To all questions as to the mar- riage of her sister she gave evasive an- swers. At last the father in his worriment de- manded a full statement of what had oe- curred on the trip to Tacoma. Then it came out that Ormsby, instead of marry- ing Grace, as he had promised, had forced her to again enter the Sedro house, and had intimated that the younger girl should also become an inmate. To the memory of the dead woman be it saia that she repudiated her lover’s proposition as to the sister, and pawning her jewelry sent the younger girl home. The father on hearing this at once took to hiv bed, and on Saturday morning died. On Sunday morning the news was wired to Grace at Sedro,with the request that she come to attend the funeral. This telegram was received on Sunday noon. As the girl opened and read the contents she remarked simply: “I have killed him. Now I'll go too.” Reaching her room the larger part of a bottle of morphine was taken, and despite medical assistance she died toward morn- ing. MADE MERRY AT LODI American Protective Association Members Indulged in a Pleasant Picnic. STOCKTON, CAL., May 13.—Befors 9 o'clock this morning there was not an extra. livery rig in the city that could be had for love or money. All had been taken to go to the American Protective Association picnic at Lodi to-day. Long before the extra three cars were backed into the railway station there was a large crowd there and the cars proved inade- quate to carry the people who wanted ‘o attend the outing. They were soon filled and several hundred were left on the plat- form to wait Ior the Sacramento train, to which the special cars were to be at- tached. The Sixth Regiment band had been en- gaged and discoursed popular airs at the station while the crowd waited. Mayor Baggs was on hand bright and early in company with Street Superintendent Bid- well, and soon President Lang of the City Council joined them. He wore a smail American flag, fully six by nine inches in aiameter, as a boutonniere, and beamed on every one he knew atd many that he did not.” In spite of the wiudy weather the ladies turned out 1n their summer dresses, end pretty lawns and dainty muslins lent color and brightness to the scene. At Lodi the crowd was greeted by the local band, and the Sacramento delegation that came down from the Capital City had with it the crack band of that place to make music while the others made merry. gt e POSTPONED AGAIN. The Oregon Still Unable to Make Her Trial Trip in Santa Barbara Channel. SANTA BARBARA, CaL,, May 13.—The battle-ship Oregon did not make her trial trip to-day. It was ideal weather, but Irving M. Scott was not satisfied with the swell in the channel so the attempt was again postponed. It is calculated that the heavy swell would knock a quarter of a knot off the vessel's speed and that would mean a loss of $25,000 premium. In the morning it gave promise of a per- fectly calm course. At 4:30 A. M. the Una- dilla was sent to a position off Goleta Point, and at 6:10 A. M. the battle-ship got under way. She steamed !h'l,f down to a point opposite the tugboat, and then put about and returned to her anchorage. It is reported here that a storm has been rag. ing sixty miles up the coast, and that it was the swell raised by it that caused the trouble. g All the Oregon’s equipments, batteries, stores, armament, magazine and other appliances were thoroughly inspected yes- terday and gave thorough satisfaction to the examining board. The only appliance not completed is the electric plant and that will be put in posi- tion as soon as possible. The vessel is, therefore, almost ready to hand over to the Government as soon as her trial is over. Tt is blowing heavily again to-night, but off shore and it is not thought it will increase the sweli. In that event the Ore- gon will go out to-morrow morning. R e e v DETECTIVE SMITH DEAD. He Breathes His Last in the Ratlroad Hospital at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Car., May 13.— De- tective Will Smith, who has been in the employ of the Southern Pacific Railway Company for many years, died in the rail- road hospital in this ity Jast night. Detective Smith, who was located at Los Angeles, was a terror to the desperadoes of Arizona and Southern California and took a very active part in the long chase after Sontag and Evans, Kid Thompson and other noted outlaws. His remains have been forwarded to Los Angeles for inter- ment, —_— A SKIRMISH WITH APACHES, Scouts Surprise a Band of Renegades, Who Leave a Pappoose and Escape Into Mexico. TUCSON, Ariz., May 12.—News from the southeastern Arizona border says that Lieutenent Averill's scouts had an engazement with a band of about twenty renegade Apaches from San Carlos, having surprised the camp at daybreak. It is believed two Indians were wounded. The scouts captured everything in the camp, including an Apache youngster. The Indians escaped into Sonora. S NAVAJO RESERVATION TROUBLE. Indians Oppose the Invasion of the Car- riso Mountain Gold Fields. SANTA FE, N. Mex., May 13.—Chief Blackhorse and a powerful element of the Navajo tribe are opposing the invasion of the Carriso Mountain gold field by the syn- dicate lately organized by J. H. P. Voor- hees, a nephew of Senator Voorhees, and others, and trouble is likely to ensue if they undertake to mine in that region. A company of United States troops has been ordered to the vicinity of Farlington, and all citizens entering the Navajo reser- vation are required to secure passports from the agent under penalty of arrest and confiscation of their effects. BIKERS WANT VENGEANCE Sacramento Clubs Prosecuting Two Men Who Drove Over Wheelmen, A State’s Prison Confronts Enemies of the Knickerbocker Fraternity. the SACRAMENTO, CaL., May 13.—The ex- amination of Conrad Streng and John Hossli upon a charge of assault with means of inflicting great bodily injury, conducted in Judge Davis’ court to-day, is exciting the greatest interest among the wheelmen of this city. Thomas A. Wal- thew, the complaining witness, was riding along the street on his bicycle when sud- denly, he claims, he heard shouts and the rush of a rapidly approaching horse. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the de- fendants, who were in a cart, seemingly in pursuit of him, and wildly beating their horse. He turned into a side street and hugged the curb, but the next second the horse, which had been turned into the side street directly beuind him, struck him and knocked him to the ground and the men in the cart drove on, both of them looking back and laughing at him. There were numerous witnesses of the affair who testified in the same line, and there were others who claimed to have seen a similar horse and cart, containing two men, chasing bicyclists in _different portions of the city throughout the day. The_accused are two men who reside near Elk Grove and it is claimed they were under the influence of liquor. The defense will probably endeavor to prove that it was an accident, occurring through the actions of a vicious horse. For some time past wheelmen have been chased at different times and the club members are determined to put a stop to this work. The offense1s a State prison crime. The examination was continued until to-morrow. AWFUL TRAGEDY NEAR YREKA, Three Mutilated Bodies Found on the Prather . Ranch. ONE OF THEM A CHINESE Beside the Mongol’s Corpse Lay ‘a Murdered Woman and Her Child. TRAVELING MEN ARE ACCUSED Some Think the Chinaman Committed the Deed and Then Killed Himself, YREKA, CArn., May 13.—A mysterious, blood-curdling tragedy was enacted at the Prather ranch in Butte Creek Vailey this morning. The bodies of Mrs. Henry Schwatga, her little daughter Irene and a Chinaman were found by two men travel- ing by the house. A younger child was found with a scar across its.forehead, as if the intention of the murder had been to kill it also. All three of the dead bodies had bullet holes through the foreheads, and death must have been instantaneous. In some way a story gained credenze that the killing had been done by the Chinese who then committed suicide. Just what grounds exist for this story is not clear, and the feeling here implicates the two men who claim to have found the bodies. Henry Schwatka, the husband of the murdered woman, says that the murder was committed while he was attending to some work on the ranch. Two men who were traveling through the country from Washington discovered blood on the door and on investigating found the three bodies. They immediately notified the nearest neighbor, Mr. Truax, but before he was able to get to the house Mr. Schwatka had reached the scene. Coroner Scofield left for the scene of the tragedy this evening for the purpose of holding an inquest. Mrs. Schwatka has one brother, Henry Sleeper, working in the Crocker printing office, 8an Francisco, and one sister, Mrs. A.W. Wallis, in the Postal Telegraph office in Los Angeles. Her fatber is a prominent Mason and Odd Fellow, and is a pioneer resident of California, having been one of the first men to reach California in 184 The news of the horrible death of his daughter has utterly prostrated him. Sheriff Hobbs and District Attorney Raynes left for the scene of the trazedy this evening, and will make a thorough investigation. Suspicion has been directed toward the men discovering the bodies, and they will be detained pending the Coroner’s inquest. Butte Creek Valley, the scene of the murder, is on the western portion of Sis- kiyou County. The husband of the mur- dered woman and child is the foreman of the Prather ranch, and is highly re- spected. He is a nephew of the late Lieutenant Schwatka of Arctic fame. The body of Mrs. Schwatka and that of her little daughter will be brought to Yreka for burial. Excitement is intense throughout the entire county, ana should it be found that others than the Chinaman had a hand in the murder a repetition of the Iynching in this place last fall will be sure to foliow.
