Certain That McKinley Will Carry the Pacific Coast Stat SEATTLE, Wass., June 30.—Governor McGraw, who attended tbe 8t. Louis con- vention with the Washington delegation, returned home this afternoon. From the convention city the executive journeyed to Canton, where he had an interview of several hours’ duration, as well as a drive about the city with Governor McKinley. Governor McGraw said McKinley ap- peared to be averse to traveling about the country making campaign speeches, but that he would do so if requested by the National Committee. “pajor McKinley regards the tariff as the paramount issue in this campaign,” ‘Washington's chief executive observed, in discussing his conference with the National standard bearer, ‘‘and, indeed, that seemsto be the opinion of leading Republicans throughout the East. I may also add that 98 per cent of the people, regardless of politics, pelieve in interna- tional bimetallism. Only about 2 per cent of the population of tbis country want free and unlimited coinage of silver.” In discussing party disaffection and es- ecially the 8t. Louis bolters Governor Me- ’G’rnw styvled Senator Teller a “‘silver mono- metallist.”” Hedoes not believe the Demo- crats and Populists will fuse, and when asked if, in such an event, the fusion leaders would carry the Pacific Coast States, the Governor with emphasis de- clared that they would not. “I am certain,” he said, ‘‘that Washing- ton, Oregon and California will cast their electoral votes for McKinley.” S i) NEVADA POPULISTS. Delegates to Bt. Louis Named by the Central Committee. RENO, Ngv., June 30.—The Populist ‘Btate Central Committee met here to-day. Every county in the State but Humboldt and White Pine was represented. The Populists, not intending that outsiders should know their plans for the campaign, held the meeting behind closed doors. The committee selected the following delegates to the National Convention: J. B. McCulloch, B. F. Curler and Will- jam Thompson of Washoe, W. W. Dunn of Btorey, J. C. Doughty of Elko, Chris Danberg of Don%n, .J. Lynch of Lander. Alternates—T. Woodlift of Storey, C. ‘Allen of Eureka, John Bicknell of Lander, M. P. Dooley of Lincoln, R. R. Crawford of ‘Washoe, John Mclilton of Lyon, State Benator, Skaggs of Elko. J. B. McCulloch, J. M. McCormack and George Peckham were selected as an ex- ecutive committee to look after campaign affairs. ‘In their hands the selection of ‘time and place for the State Convention was left. McKinley was denounced as the common enemy, and the sentiment in favor of the general unification of silyer forces was unanimous. I — 3 SENATOR WHITE'S STAND, Not an Avowed Candidate for the Chicago Nomination. LOS ANGELES, CaL., June 30.—Dele- gate at Large Stephen M. White and District Delegates Joseph Maier and W. R. Burke left to-nicht for Chicago to attend the Democratic National Convention. The delega tes were accompanied by two or three Jocal newspaper men. Before the start Senator White was seen by a CarLr correspondent and questioned as to his candidacy. The Senator said: “I have opened no headquarters at Chicago in order to manufacture a boom. I am naturally proud of my State'si dorsement—not that I am an avowed can- didate for the high office, but as an ex- pression of approval by the peoplo of my own State of my course in the Senate of the United States. Further.than this I have nothing to say.” SAN' DIEGD WATER WAR, The City Enjoined From Selling the Bonds for the New System." Charges: of Fraud. Preferred by the Company Vot:d Out of a Monopoly. SAN DIEGO, CaL., June 30.—The San Diego Water Company to-day instituted an action against the City of San Diego, . the Common Council and the Southern alifornia Mountain Water Compuny in e Superior Court praying for an injunc- tion to restrain the city from signing, issuing, selling or executing bonds {or con- structing the water system voted upon by the people last Saturday. It is alleged in the complamnt that the declaration of tne City Council on Mon- day night last that the bonds had carried was false, for the reason that two-thirds of the qualified electors of the city did not vnu?orincurring the indebtedness; that the election was fraudulently carried on; that more than two hundred persons vot- ing in favor of the bonds were not quali- fied electors of the city, and that more than a hundred persons who voted in favor of the bonds were cnallenged at the polls, but were allowed by the election boards to vote without being sworn in. The complaint also alleged that more than 300 persons were influenced to vote for the bonds by means of bribery; t-at more than 200 voters had no right to be on the great register, but had registered in the name of other persons, dead or removed; that more than 700 were registered in the supplement to the great register, instead of the great register itself. 1t is alleged that the city is using only about 160inches of water, and the remaining 840 inches voted for cannot be used by the city, and that the sole reason of its acquisition is for the purpose of subsidizing the Southern California Mountain Water Company and aiding the construction of a dam, reser- voir sites, etc., to be used for irrigating lands outside the city. In accordance with the prdyer of the complainant, Judge Toriunts granted a temporary injunction, restraining the de- fendants from 1ssuing, selling or signing or executing the bonds. The sureties on the injunction bond for $5000 were L. F. Doolittle and Heber Ingle. The case will be heard at once. It will notretard the construction of the new system, which was begun on Monday with a large force. President Babcock of the Southern Cali- fornia Company sa: the injunctions against the bonds will not stop him one minute and that by the time the bonds are needed the injunction suits will be dis- posed of. The friendly suit begun Mon- day bhas precedence over the suit brought to-day, and if the parties to the first azree to submit this one at once to the Supreme Court, the San Diego Water Company can - not prevent it. The charges of fraud and bribery are indignantly denied by the elec- tion officers and by the Council, LOS ANGELES DECISION, Judge Smith Rules That Justice Morrison Cannot Be Removed. Charges Against the Police Magistrate Not Proved by the Evi- dence. LOS ANGELES, CaL., June 30.—An in- teresting case against Police Justice Mor- rison was decided this forenoon by Judge Smith of the Superior Court. Justice Morrison was charged with neglect, and his removal from office demanded, be- cause he failed to send papers to the County Clerk’s office in an appeal case. Judge Bmith dismissed the action. He said the accusation against the Justice was in the nature of a penal charge, and must be judged on the same basis as a criminal proceeding. There was an absolute failure to show any willful misconduct by JusticeMorrison or anything approaching corruption. Tha element so necessary to sustain such pro- ceeding—criminal intent—was entirely lacking. To say that fora mere mistake, not of far reaching consequence, the Justice should be removed from office and fined $500 seemed to him a monstrous proposi- tion. - ATTACKED BY A ROBBER. Bold Assault Committed in the Hallway of a Saloon. LO8 ANGELES, Car., June 30.—A bold attempt at robbery was made this morning in the rear of a salobn at the corner of Commercial and Wilmington streets. Tom Martin, a railroad man, was walking along Commercial street, between 5 and 6 o’clock, when he was approached by George Davis, who remarked to Martin that he was very thirsty. Martin replied that he would not object to a *‘bracer,” so they repaired to the saloon. Davis informed the railroader that he was & miner in hard luck, and Martin finally invited Davis to accompany him to a restaurant on the opposite of the street. They partook of a meal, and then re- turned to the saloon. Martin, upon entering the saloon, start- ed for a rear room. He was passing through a narrow hallway, when Davis, l':'hlo Ead foliowed him, ordered him to alt. As he turned Davis seized him by the throat and struck him a heavy blow with his clenched fist on the left eye. Martin, who is a small man, defended himself as best he could, but was no match for Davis, who succeeded in snatching. his watch and chain.. He then ran his hand into Martin’s pocket to relieve him of what change he had, but on hearing some one coming broke and ran. Martin followed, yelling “Stop thief!” Davis managed to elude his pursuer for several blocks, but fortunately he ran into Officer Johnson, who nabbed him just as ke was_about to scale a fence in the rear of a building on Wilmington street.

Remarks by Assistant District At- torney Williams during the trial were ob- jected to, as were the instructions given y_the court. In discussing the case, the court stated that he considered the defendant very for. tunate in being found guilty of man- slaughter. He had expected a verdiet of murder in the second degree. The Judge proceeded to analyze the testimony, and denied the motion for a mew trial. He sentenced McGinnis to ten years’ imprison- ment at Folsom penitentiary. 22D Ui Santa Barbara McKinley Club.

DRILL IN ROUGH WATER High Waves Repeatedly Sweep Over the Rakish Warship’s Low Deck. AMATEUR SEAMEN KEPT BUSY All Hands Startled by a Groundless Cry of “Man Overboard!” When Far From Land. SANTA CRUZ, Cat., June 30.—The Naval Reserves of this city learned to-day something of a warship’s discipline ina cruise on the Monadnock, and they learned also that it was not a mere outing they were taking on the high seas, for the thirty-three able seamen of the Fourth Gun Division, N. G. C., had hardly boarded the ship before they were ordered to stow their rations and appear on the forecastle to lend a hand in the weighing of the anchor. There was not a second of time to spare after they had saluted the flag. But they went to their duty will- ingly, ard bore the labor of the day un- flinchingly. Of course, there was a good deal of instruction that had merely to be listened to and not put into actual demon- stration by imitation. That gave them a respite from the manual labor and an in- sight into the duties that devolve upon enlisted men in the navy. The bluejackets received them kindly and readily gave them such information as they asked when the duty of the hour was not upon them and made their stay aboard ship as pleasant as possible. The officers, in the strict line of duty, gave fheir orders in courteous tones and kindly suggestions, The cruise began at 9 o'clock and lasted eight hours—a day’s work. Itincluded a run out of the bay direct to sea, thence northerly up the coast for fifteen miles and out to the high seas, where the waves run high over the lower deck of this fiat- looking vessel and occasionally washed the upper deck. Once, indeed, did the briny sweep so high ana fall in such volume on the upper deck that the cry of “Man overboard !I” rang through the ship. But the ‘“‘man overboara” did not go over, though there wasn't a dry spot on him when he shook himself free from the sud- den ducking he had received. This little incident interested the naval reserves, who were not so quick as the biuejackets to perceive that the alarm was causeless, After a few hours of running through a heavy sea the Monadnock had reached a point off Monterey and turned its nose again into the bay and headea for Santa Cruz. All on board were surprised to find the Philadelphia still Iying to, as they had supposed the cruiser sailed for Monterey at 4 o’clock, an hour and a half before the Monadnock was due in the harbor. The Philadelphia, although having received last night sailing orders that would have put it into Monterey harbor this evening, was ordered to await the arrival of six cadets from Annapolis, who did not ar- rive to-night, but who are believed to have gone direct from Ban Francisco to Del Monte. Both ships witl sail for Monterey at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, there to par- ticipate in the semi-centennial of the raising of the American flag. ——— GIFT TO CAPTAIN COTTON. The Commander of the Philadelphia Given a Handsome Flag. SANTA CRUZ, Oav, June 30.—Captain Cotton of the Philadelphia was to-day presented with a handsome white silk fiag by citizens of Santa Cruz, District Attor- ney Carl E. Lindsay making the presenta- tion speech. The city and Carnival Asso- ciation were represented, in company with Mr. Lindsay, by Judge Logan of the Supe- rior Court, Lieutenant-Governor Jeter, Director-General Bowman, Dr. Bailey and others prominent in entertaining the officers of the ships since they have been anchored in Santa Cruz harbor. The flag was trimmed with gold and bore an inscription in gold presenting it from the City of Santa Cruz and the Car- nival Association of 1896. Captain Cotton responded with emphasis upon the cordial reception accorded by Santa Cruz people to the officers of the ships. The visiting party lunched with the officers, and a pleasant farewell was said. EASTERN TURF EVENTS. Mary Beauffort Wins a Rich Stake in a Canter.

WORK FOR THE MANY. He Denies the Published Stories of Suffering at the Mines. FAIR WAGES TO LABORERS. Those Who Seek Employment Do Not Go Hungry—Growth of Juneau PORTLAND, Oz., June 30.—Judge C. S. Hannum of Alaska, who arrived here to- day from St. Louis en route home, says that the great rush of immigration to Alaska has been taken care of, and that every man who has sought work has got it at $3 50 per day, seven days a week. “The people of Alaska are doing well,” remarked Mr. Hannum. *I do not con- sider the prosperity they are experiencing as a boom, but everybody is going to work and making money. The merchants are selling lots of goods, and, although it is late in the season now for newcomers to the mines, there is something going on. The activity in mining gives an impetus to all trade. One hundred and sixty stamp mills have been established very recently within a radius of twenty-five miles of Juneau. We have eight steamers a month now at Juneau, and they all do an enor- mous trade with Tacoma and Seattle. “I have read the stories of destitution printed in different coast papers, and they are all nonsense. Ihave not seen a man ask for a meal or for help, and every labor- ing man at Juneau in search of something to do got work. The mining camps want men to work, but of course it is a little late in the season for men to go up there, as the mines are pretty well filled up. Ra- cently tome valuable new leads have been discovered, and the industry is being ex- tended all the time. “Houses can’t be built fast enough in Juneau, and a new building is scarcely on its foundation until every inch of space is contracted for. Part of the lumber comes from Puget Sound, and the overcrowded vessel on which I made the up passage carried 14,000 feet of lumber on the deck— on the deck, mind you, for the hold was so full you could not get your hat in it. And such a fight for room! People were laid out all over the decks so you could walk on them; that is, if you cared to| risk the attempt. ‘A word about the Indians of Alaska. They area race that is fast disappearing and soon will be extinct. There are about 30,000 of them left. They are an indus- trious people. They are to the paople of Alaska what the Chinamen are to Port- land. They do ail the slavish work. Asa | rule they have more money than the ordinary laborer. They are peaceable and well-disposed and are self-sustaining, ex- cepting the local government schools, which are established for their benefit. “How about living in Junean? Well, I suppose it will cause surprise, but a man can get board and lodging for $25 per month, and it is good board and lodging at that. Bo, you see, itis not as high as you would suppose.” 2ncsag Sy STUNG BY A4 LAWYXER'S WORDS. An Innocent Man Falls in an Epileptic ¥it in Court. PORTLAND, Oz., June 30.—There was an exciting scene in United States Judge Bellinger’s court to-day during the trial of L. J. Marck, Postmaster at XEtna, Jackson County, on a charge of abstracting a reg- istered package from the mails. During the argument of the prosecution a lawyer rose to a fervid pitch of eloguence. Marck, the prisoner, sat with clenchied hands and rigid face, his very soul dwelling on the burning words of the attorney. “Where was that package when it was missec? Who had it?” the counsel shouted. Marck had slowly risen from his seat as the attorney reached the issue of his guilt, and as the words denouncing him came from Lawyer Leusure’s lips, with a pierc- ing shriek the prisoner threw his arms into the air, and, faling backward, lay writhing and frothing in an epileptic fit. The courtroom was turned into a scene of great confusion. Marck was acquitted this evening on proof that an XHtna postman had received and receipted for the package and sent 1t on to the Trail Postmaster. SEATILE'S DIORCE CASE Dr. Dawson Tells of the Strange Whims of a Jealous Wife, Declares That for a Long Time He Believed Mrs. Dawson Was Insane, SEATTLE, Wass., June 30.—The plain- tiff’s side in the Dawson case created a sensation in Judge Hume's court to-day when Dr. Dawson went onto the stand, testified as to his wife's jealousy and swore that for a long time he forgave her because he believed that she was insane. He told, also, of her attempt to commit suicide. - s From the time of their marriage, in 1888, Dr. Dawson said, Mrs. Dawson was jealous of him, charged him with being intimate with his lady patients and threatened to shoot several of them. One night, when Mrs. Dawson had been making insinuations and Dr. Dawson had threatenad to leave the house, sne took a revolver, placed it against her head and tureatened to kill herself. She did the same thing at another time, but on both occasions Dr. Dawson snatched the re- volver from her hands, One might Dr. Dawson received a pro- fessional call to another part of the city. Mrs. Dawson did not want him to go. He said that he would have to, and as he started toward the door Mrs. Dawson called him back and said that she bad taken & llrie dose of morghine. He gave her medical attention and afterward was satisfied Mrs. Dawson had taken but a small dose. After that Mrs, Dawson would take morphine in small doses, “simply to annoy him,” he said. Dr. Dawson found a letter addressed to him one night in which Mrs. Dawson urged bim to give up his practice and go to California, explaining that whenever she saw a revolver ora drug which would prove fatal, if sufficient of it was taken, she thonfht of suicide. She feared she would kill herself some day or go insane, Dr. Dawson went to his bedroom and talked the matter over with Mrs. Dawson. She repeated what she had written. Dr. Dawson believed she was insane and talked to some of his colleagues about it. They were of the belief that it was only jealousy, but expressed the opinion that it might benefit Mrs, Dawson if he would consent to leave the city. Later, Mrs. Dawson thought that she would just as soon move to the family ranch in Mason County. That was in 1890. Dr. Dawson at that time had a large practice, but he gave it up and he and Mrs. Dawson, the children and the nurse went to Mason County. A neighbor wanted him to give professional treatment to a member of his family. Dr, Dawson consented and Mrs. Dawson was yery much incensed because he had gone. She made the same old insinuations against him. \ General Carr, chief counsel for Dawson, pleaded guilty in the Municipal Court to- day to fighting. Sentence was augpendgd until Friday, when his antagonist, Co- respondent Esplin, who pleaded not guilty, will be tried. Love letters, not signed but alleged to have been written by Frank Carroll to Mrs. Dawson, were read in evidence by Dr. Dawson’s counsel to-day. e BISHEUP MORRIS HONORED. Close of the Protestant Episcopal Annual Convention. PORTLAND, Or., June 30.—The eighth annual convention of the Protestant Epis- copal Diocese of Oregon concluded its two days’ session to-day. The board of school trustees announced the appointment of Miss Eleanor Tibbetts of New York as principal of St. Helen’s Hall to succeed Mary B. Rodney, the well-known educa- tor, who recently died. There were two applications—from Oakland and S8an Fran- Francisco—for the position. Tue present convention of the diocese is notable from the fact that it is the fiftieth anuiversary of the ordination of Rt. Rev. B. B. Wistar Morris and also the twenty- seventh gur of his service in church bere. Although it was the eighth annual con- vention of the diocese this was the forty- third annual report to the Bishop, a mis- ! sionary convocation of the church having been established forty-three years ago. In commemoration of the fiftieth anniver- sary of the Bishop’s crdination a jubilee service was held. A memorial of the con- g:e ation was to-day presented to the shop. s MARIE FATELY'S SURRENDER. Withdraws Her Breach of Promise Suit Against Thannhauser. PORTLAND, Or., June 30.—The sensa- tional $50,000 damage suit for the blighted affections of Mary Walters, better known as Marie Fately, of Oakland, against Louis Thannkauser, a prominent Front-sireet merchant, was called for trial in the State Circuit Court to-day, but after a failure to secure a continuance the plain- tiff's counsel took a voluntary nonsuit and withdrew from the fight. They claimed they could not get witnesses from San Francisco in time to attend the trial, and that they could not meet depositions. Thannhauser, who was formerly in busi- ness in Sacramento and S8an Francisco, filed depositions of California witnesses that were not calculated to inspire a very rliflz‘h regard for the character of the plain- —_—— MARR WEST ADVENTURE. A Mad Bull Slain After Fatally Wound- ing a Horse. .SANTA ROSA, Car, June 30.—J. H.| Freese of Mark West had a experience with a mad bull last night that he is not likely to soon forget. He was mounted on a horse and leading the bull, which is or- dinarilg quite tame. Suddenly the animal charged at the horse, sinking his long borns deep into the flesh. Freese dismounted rather hastily over his horse’s head, and atonce sought safety in an adjacent house. Here he procured a rifle and nastened out to save, if possible, the life of his valuabie horse. The now thoroughly maddened bull saw him com- ing, and at once charged straight at him. Freese fired and t'e &nimal rolled over dead, with a bullet in his brain. The horse was fatally wonunded. ————— Redwood City Wedding. REDWOOD CITY, CAL., June 30.—Rev. L. D. Rathbone was married to-day to Miss Julia Christ of this City.

HORRIBLE CRIME OF A YUMA GIRL: Maria Moreno Kills Her Brother After a Quarrel. ENRAGED AT A REBUKE. Takes Deliberate Aim and Fires Two Charges cf Shot at His Head. BOTH LOADS TAKZ EFFECT. The Murderess Becomes ‘a Raving Maniac—Story of a Wayward Career. YUMA, Ariz, June 30.—Miss Maria Moreno, 17 years old, shot and instantly killed her fourteen-year-old brother here this afternoon. The boy was chiding her, and she became enraged and struck him. He returned the blow with a shoe. Then tue girl went into another room, soon re- turning with a shotgun. She took delib- erate aim and pulled the trigger. The charge of shot carriea away the top of her brother’s head. When the girl saw the fatal conse- guencas of her awful actshe fell in a faint. To-night she is a raving maniac, and it is likely that she will be confined in an asy- lum at once. It is said that in the lifetime of Miss Moreno’s father he had some trouble in keeping his daughter from going astray. Finally he became involved in a difficulty with a man against whom he was en- deavoring to protect her honor and was wounded. This wound caused his death some months ago. Since then it has been hard for her mother and young brother to keep the girl within proper bounds. The brother, though vounger than Miss Maria, took upon himself considerable re- sponsibility, and this morning he chided her for keeping company with one or two objectionable men with whom she lately attended several questionable dances, and for otherwise improper deportment. After blows had passed, the boy, wish- ing to avoid further trouble, turned and walked away, but the girl, securing ashot- gun, stepped to the door and called him. As he turned toward her she pulled the wrigger of both barrels, both charges take ing effect. He was thirty feet or mor- from her at the time, 1tis believed the girl’s mind has long been weak. Several times she has at- tacked schoolchildren who were passing and chased them with a butcherknife. She does nothing now but wring her hands and cry. CHEERED BY SACRAMENTANS.
