Owing to the Harsh Laws of the <. Fatherland the Dock Laborers Will Lose the Strike. BERLIN, GEexaxy, Nov. 28.—Nothing | Ritracting current notice is so greatly in- teresting official and diplomatic circles in Berlin as the advices which are being re- | ceived from St. Petersburg announcing | * the' action of the Czar in seizing inde- pendént control of both the internal and external policies of Russia, since the re- turn of his Majesty from Lis tour of the Continent. Whether he has been inspired by the example set by the E Gérmany. begi g with the dis . Prisice:Bismerck from the I cellorship, or whether he on his own line, it is hard to ; but the ohe thing certain is that be initiated | an entire change in the administration of | affairs -of .the F n empire, and the | officials’ whose functions are usurped oy | their .imperial master, and whose influ- ence, conkequently, appears to be on the vane, are aghast at the] innovation. . Every day the Czar receives reports directly from the foreign and other depariments, and dic- tates his replies thereto without consulting any one except the subordinate officials of | those departments to whom he listens, | ‘but whose opinions he does not as Neither does bis Majesty solicit the opinions of M. Nelidoff, Russian Embas- sador to Constantinople (who is now in 8t. Petersburg), Count Vorontzoff-Dashkoff, M. Shishkine or any other of the compet- | itors for the succession to the late Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky in the office of Min- | ister of Foreign Affairs. indeed, the Emperor’s sole confidant | seems to be his granduncle, the Grand Duke Michael, the last surviving son of the great Emperor Nicholas I, the present Czar’s great-grandfather. In accordance with the sueggestion of the Grand Duke Michael, who is aid-de-camp-general to the Czar ana president of the Council of | the Empire, as the German embassy at Bt. Petersburg learns, the whole Russian adminisiration is to bes reformed. In carrying out the reorganization the Grand Duke Michael proposes himself to resign his position as president of the Couacil of the Empire in favor of the Grand Duke Vlidimir, who will relinguish his com- mand of the Imperial Guards. The Grand Duke Sergius is to be transferred from the * .governorzhip of Moscow to the command of the guards in the place of his brother, . the Grand Duke Vladimir, the appoint- meht being attributed to the influence of ° the Czarina, whose sister is the wife of the | Grand Duke Sergius. Inaddition to these changes the brother- in-1aw, Grand Duke*Alexander Michaeio- viteh, is to be appointed to an important | navil command. Among the changes out- | side of the imperial iamily General Kur- | - opatky is nrentioned for the command of the imperial troops in the Caucasus and | :General Dragomiroff in command at Kieff, - for transfar to Warsaw as military Gov- | ~€rnor of that department. M. Dely is also to retire’from the head of & istry of Public Instruction and will be | succeeded by M. de Sabier, who until re- tently has b-en acting as secretary to M. Pobienosizia, the procurator of the Holy | Bynod. In regard to the leading Ministry of the | Russian empire, the Imperial Chzncelior- ship, Minister ot Finance, Minister of For- eign Affairsand theothers it does not mat- ter whether they are filled by M. Nelidoff, Count Vorontzoff-Dashkoff or any other of the shining lights of Russian politics and - statecraft, for the Czar will be practically his own Minister, and the otbers merely such in name. This upheaval in the Rus- sian administration excites the greatest interest here and has absolute apprecia- tion in court quarters. H The strike of the dock laborers in Ham- burg is interesting the German public much less than it interests the people of foreign countries. This feeling is largely due to the knowledge of the home public that strike agitations are fatile in the face of the legislative restrictions, as under the lJaw of Germany an international federa- tion of workingmen is illegal, and the po- lice are empowered to seize circulars and djssolve meetings and also to summarily expel foreigners concerned in such agi- tation. The demands which are being made by some of the English papers for recogni- tion of claims for indemnity on the part of Tom Mann, the English labor agitator, on account of his expulsion from Ham- burg the other day, are sheer nonsense. The expulsion of Ben Tillet, an Erglish laborer, some time ago, was made the subject of English diplomatic protest, sjthough the Englhish papers have asserted hat it was not. The London Foreign Of- . fice knew better than to give the matter official notice. :The German shippers are taking the strike very quietly and are confident that it will not materially injure the flow of tiade. A special Bourse committee has “been appointed to watch the operations of the new bourse laws limiting time deals, etc. The Agrarians are finding that the laws restricting deals in grain are affect- iig Agrarian interests injuriously, and Count von Arnim, at the head of a repre- sentative deputation of Agrarians, met the special Bourse committee a few days ago to discuss the situation in regard to cperations in grain on the Bourse. In the course of the conference Count von Arnim became involved in a severe altercation with the committee, which resented the interference of the Agrarians with the Course of business on the Bourse. The producers of raw sugar in Hanover are initiating a movement contemplating the jormation of a syndicate which shall operate throughout Germany in favor of the apolition of sugar bounties and the re- duction of the tax on sugar for home con- sumption.

Armour of Memphis, Tena., have just been submitted to Postmaster-General Wilson. Mr. Armour, according to the inspector’s - report, was short in his accounts to the extent of over $12,000. His accounts with the department, however, were correct, as bis bondsmen made good the deficiency, which kept the department in ignorance of the state of his affairs for some time. Postmaster-General Wilson said that Armour would be dismissed, as postmas- ters who tampered with the Government funds would be summarily dealt with. There are several other cases of defalca- tions in the department, in each of which the official will meet a similar fate. i T e MORGAN DEALS IN MILLIONS.

C., Nov. 28.—The annual report of Daniel Morgan, treasurer of the United States, made public to-day, shows the total receipts from all sources during the fiscal year ended June 30 last to have been $326,976,200, as against $313,- 390,075 for the fiscal year 1895, an increase of $13,586,125.

The net receipts from the $262,315,400 of bonds sold in 1894, 1895 and 1896 were $204,164,295, Intue filteen months ending with September last the withdrawals of gold from the treasury in redemvtion of United States not and treasury notes amounted to $192,972,205, while the net zains of gold from all sources attained a total of $98,813,90: ing public debt June 30, ed $1,769,840,323 as compared 83 on the same date in According to a revised estimate of the department the composition and distribu- tion of the monetary stock for the fiscal year 1896 is us follows: In TPreasury In Kind and Mints.

While these figures show an apparent loss of more than fifty millions of money, the department officers say that as a matter of fact the loss does not now exist. Many millions of gold went abroad prior to the ctosing of the last fiscal year, thus showing an unfavorable balance, but it is claim d that since the inflow of gold has recurred and the impor- tations have grown this money, with & considerable addition thereto, has come back to the United States. The net pro- ceeds of the National banknotes redeemed during the year were $107,801,026 34, the largest amount for any like period in ten years, and, with the exrception of three years, the largest sinre 1879, The cost for the redemption of National bank notes bas been assessed against the banks at the rate of $1 1214 per $1000.

Every Seam of the Unlucky Battle-Ship Polluted by the Foul Waters of the Brooklyn Navy-Yard. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28.—An- other source ef anxiety over the future usefulness of the battle-ship Texas has arisen in the navy. This time it is a warning from the medical officers of the service and it relates to the probable effect of pollution of the intricate interior .of the ship when sixty-one of her compart- ments were filled with the sewage-con- taminated mud for which the waters of the Brookiyn Navy-yard have long been noted. One of the leading bacteriologists of the naval surgeons’ corps has raised the point that while it will be feasible to wash out most of the foul scdiment that was de- posited in accessible portions of the vessel it will be exceedingly difficult to reach the numerous s2ams in the bulkheads and small angles into which solid particles of sewage have accumulated, and that the affected compartments should be emptied of their contentsand a drastic disinfection attempted. . Precedents are cited to show that serious results to the craw might follow a visit to West Indian waters, wiere enteric dis- orders breed rapidly. The medical de- partment of the navy will resort to ex- treme measures {o clean the ship before she leaves the Brooklyn yard. i THAT DEEP HARBOR SITE. Commissioners Ship Data to Los Angeles to Assist the Work. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28.—Ad- miral Walker, chairman of the commis- sion appointed to select a site for a deep sea harbor in Southern California for com- merce and for refuge, has shipped to Los Angeles z great box of data and maps re- lating to the work before the commission. The commission will meet in that city on December 16, and wiil probably remain there two mouths. Admiral Walker said to-day that the subject would be gone into, as 1t bad not received attention from Con:ress. Persons interested will be per- mivted to appear and be heard, and all the light gossihle will be thrown upon the subj-ct. It is probable that the report to the Secretary of War will not be made till the return of the board to this city. A, 5 g Internal Revenwe Eeceipts. WASHINGTON, D.

P. Kelly Fatally Wounds His Wife and Then Himself. Shoots the Woman Repeatedly and Gashes Her Throat With a Razor. Turns His Revolver Upon Himself When Officers Arrive and Op>n Fire.- SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 28.—A tragedy that will probably result in a murder and a suicide was enacted in a jewelry-store at 116 West Santa Clara street about 9:45 o’clock this morning. The principals were J. P. Kelly, the proprietor, and his wife, Annie Kelly, or Annie Pitty, as she was sometimes known. The weapons used were three revolvers and a razor. Officers Prindiville and Shannon also joined in the shooting and fired several shots each at Kelly, who resisted arrest. Mrs. Kelly was slashed with a razor on the right side of the neck and the first finger and thumb on her right hand were cat. She seceived a bullet in the right shoulder, a slight wound in the left side, and was shot through the right arm. Kelly has three builet wounds in his Lead. Annie Kelly, a six-year-old daughter, received a slight flesh wound in the arm. Kelly and his wife came to this City a couple of years ago and opeéned a jewelry store under the name of Kelly & Mack. For the past year they have tailed to get along well together, and they had numer- J. P. Kelly, the San Tose Jeweler, Who Fatally Wounded His Wife and Shot Himself to Escape Arrest. ous quarrels. Two months ago Mrs. Kelly had her husband srrested for disturbing her peace, and only several weeks ago she charged him with felony embezziement, alleging that he nad taken $75 worth of jewelry belonging to herand kept it. The charge was subsequently dismissed. It is said that on one occasion he chased her from the house with a revolver and threat- ened to kill her. For the past week the couple have not been living together, and the woman had taken steps toward begin- ning suit for a divorce. Mrs. Kelly had been occupying separate apartments from her husband, in the Ray- mond lodging-house, over tne store. This morning the woman, accompanied by her litile daughbter, left her rcom to go up- town. As she started to pass the store her husband called to her, She did not stop, and Keily stepped out, seized her by the arm and dragged her into the store and locked the door. He then told his wife he was going to kill her, and drew a revolver. The frightened woman broke away and S ST e store, pleading for mercy for the children’s sake. The two little cnildren were in the store at the time, and they ran about crying, “Papa, don’t shoot mamma; don’t shoot.” As the woman ran Kelly picked up a revolver and fired at her, but missed. A second shot struck her in the right shoul- der. She then ran to the front door, and there the wounds in the arm and side were inflicted. The woman fell, and Kelly, procuring another revolver, fired several more shots at her. It was then ti Kelly took a razor to cut the woman’s throat. He seized her by the hair and slashed her neck on the left side. She grabbed the razor. Just then Policemen Prindiville and Sharnon arrived and tried to break in the door. They were unable to do so, but they broke the glass in the npper part of the door and began shooting throug!: the win- dow and door at Kelly. Seeing the officers Kelly picked up anotser pistol from the counter and started for the rear partof the store. As he ran he fired three shots at bis own head and fell in a beap. Two were only scalp wounds and the other en- :emli the temple, and will probably prove atal. ‘When Mrs, Kelly had ber husband ar- rested for felony embezzlement she told the officers that she and Kelly had never been married, but had eloved together from Australia about eight years ago. She said that Kelly had a family in Melbourne. Tnis moraing after the shooting she stated that she and Keliv had been married by contract nine years ago in Australia, and that they were nflerwnrl married bys a Presbyterian minister in London. Kelly made a dying siatement to Dis- trict Atlorney Herrington. He said he was born_in Alfon, Iil., and was 54 years of age. He said his wife sometimes ‘went il){y the name of Mack against his consent. elly has an_uncle, M chael Kelly, and a cousin, John Kelly, residing in Litchfield, Iil. By a former wifc he had two sons and a daughter. One son died recentl The other resides in San Diezo. Hisname is James Kelly. The daughter, who is married-to David Marchal, also resides in San Diego. He said that at one time he was a mem- ber of the council at Omaha, and had been Marshal of Leadvills He affirmed the story told by his wife about the marriage. In Kelly's pocket was found a letter ad- dressed to a Mr. Lewis, in which the writer said he was tired of iife. He com- plained that & man in Ban Diego bad alienated his wife's affections. Kelly claims that Officer Prindiville shot him, but Mrs. Kelly says he shot himself. Kelly was possessed of consider- able property, and this he left to the two small children. It consists of several lots in Australia, one-balf interest in 160 acres near San Diego, and Some stock in a Lead- ville mine, — HKELLY'S CROOKED CAREER.

Kelly, who shot himself when about to be arrested for attempted wife-murder at San Jose this morning, has a long and crooked: record. He has a son and daughter .in San Diego. Kelly, while at Denver in 1884, ordered & big lot of jewelry from aun Eastern firm, amounting to abont $5000, remarked and reshipped it at Denver for some pomnt on this coast, and disappeared. He sent word to his wife and children to follow him to San Antonio, Tex. They went there, but he was nowhere to be found. "Mra. Kelly. was forced to work out, and her two sons and daughter, as they grew older, supported them-elves. After some years of bitter poverty, Mrs. Kelly procured a divorce and married O. Stelzner, and moved to San Diego. Later her children followed her. The elder son went into partnership with Stelzner in a grocery, and built u; quite a business. The mother died, ani the children took up320 acres of land at Escondido. With the sirictest economy they managed to acquire a litle property worih $3000 or $4000, including three lots at San Antonio. Soon after his mother’s death the eldest son, W. F. Kelly, stepped on a rusty nail and died of lockjaw. Last Noveraber, after a silence of eleven yesrs, without a word received from him, Keily turned up at Philadelphia. He kad ifled to Australia, Pursued by Dun’s teturned to Philadelphia, taking with him the woman, Mrs. Mack, whom he tried to kill yesterday. Sbe left her husband and took her iwo little children with her. Keily, learning of his children’s good for- tune in San Diego, wrote a loving letter to them and soon afterward arrived here. He then went by the name of Mack, Finding that his children did not dis- play enough filial affection to turn all their property over to him and the woman passing as his wite, Kelly brought sait, first having obtained the appointmert as administrator of his deczased son. The old man took possession of the grocery and under his management the creditors got the store. Tuhe court awarded the | property at Escondido to the old man, and the boy, after working bard fora number of years, was left without a cent. The daughter’s poruon of the estate was | also confiscated by Kelly. | . For a short time Kelly ran a small jewelry-store, the property being in the name of Mrs. Mack. The business fell | through, and Kelly, after robbing her, de- serted her and went to San Jose. She learned of his whereabouts and followed him to San Jose some months ago. They made up and lived together, with ocea- sional quarrels, until to-day’s tragedy closed the chapte: LR, GODFREY'S SUCCESSOR. Dr. William G: Stimpson Ordered to Re- port at San Francisco. PORT TOWNSEND, W asg., Nov. 28. — Dr. William G. Stimpson, who for the vast two years has been in charge of the quar- antine service in this district, left to-day with his family under telegraphic orders to report at San Francisco. He stcceeds Dr. John Godfrey, in charge of the United States Marine Hospital in that Cicy. It has been krown for some time that Dr. Godfrey desired a transfer, and the presence of Surgeon-General Wyman in San Francisco was believed to have been more for the purpose of bringing about that result than for an inspection, as was given out. When Godfrey was advised of the coming change in station all arrangements were being perfected for a general transfer of officers, among wich was that of Dr. Hamiiton, ex-sur- geon-general, from Chicago to this coast, | but the latter's sensatioual refusal to obey orders, which was followed by his resigna- tion, upset all plans. It is believed here that as soon as Dr. Stimupson reports at San Francisco his temporary orders will be made permanent.

Placed Among Indians by the Man Who Took Him From His Home. A White Bfive at Sitka Identified as ‘Willie Heidenf:1dt, Once of Vancouver. 3 . PORTLAND, Ox., Nov. 28.—Chief of Po- lice Roberison is in receipt of ‘s letter from Sitka, Alaska, solvicg a mystery of forty years’ standing, and which but few persons in this v.cinity have even the slightest recollegtion of. It brings news of a man who, back in the fifties, when he‘ was a toddling babe, was stolen from his home and conveved to the wilds of the frozen North, there to grow up among In- dians and adopt the forest as his home. In 1836, Vancouver, Wash., then a sparsely inhabited settlement, was a_fa- vorite piace of recreation for many of the Hudson Bay Company's men. Among the families then dwelling in what now is Vencouver proper was that of Philip Heidenfeldt, who had a beautiful flaxen- haired boy named Willie, at that time 4 years old. “Long John” McGregor, a Hudson Bay Company man, loved the child as a father would his son. ‘“Long John’’ had saved about $30,000 during his long service with the company. All of this he promised to bequeath to little Willie if the parents wouid allow him to adopt the child. The Heidenfeldts ‘were poor, but not so needy as to be forced to part with a child dearer to them than they believed it possible that it could be to “‘Long John.”” They even refused $5000 in gold coin from McGregor for the priv- ilege of making Willie his heir and taking the child along with'him. In Aprilof that year *“‘Long John’' re- | turnea to his duties in the frozen Arctic, where his business was mainly with the Indians in the interior of Alaska. With McGregor’s departure also disappeared Wiliie Heidenfeldt. That the Scot had stolen the child was not doubted by any one knowing his attachment for it; but no trace of the man or the boy could be had until they reached Alaska. Then all the law the poor parents bad at their disposal in those days was impotent either to punish the child-stealer or to re- store their boy. “Long John” some time in the ’60's was frozen' to death while returning to Sitka from a business trip to tbe interior in an open sled. The saddest chapter of this story at that time was that Mec- Gregor, like most men of his type, always imagining death in their cases to be a century or more distant, neglected to pro- vide for his protege. He failed to make a wili, and when death claimed him every dollar of his estate went to distant rela- tives in'Scotland. The greater part of McGregor’s time in Alaslkta being spent among the Indians, he had placed the stolen boy in the custody of a tribe with which his business rela- tions were the mosc extensive. And with that tribe Willie was when death overtook “Lon: John,” and with that tribe Heiden- feldt, now a man 44 years of age, is to- day. He frequently visits Sitka, bearing an Indian name and speaking English with the broken accent characteristic ot an Indian, The writer of the letter received to-day was in Vancouver when the boy was stolen and knew Wiilie quite well., The child was peculiarly marked at his birth; he had but ove joint on each of his little fingers and one of his eyes was black and the other a aark brown. This optical de- fect in Heigenfeldt, when the writer saw him in Sitka a month ago, recalled the abduction of forty years ago to his mnd. Engaging the man in conversatien, he noticed aiso the other physical daefects marking _him when he came into this world. Without being prompted by lead- ing questions the Indian tribesman ad- mitted thar he recollected having been taken from his home by a rough-looking man and placed aboard a ship. Beyond that his childhood recollections were quite vague. Assails Sonoma’s Grand Jury. SANTA ROSA, Cav., Nov. 28.—Attor- ings this afternoon to have the Grand Jngry now in session here declared an illezal body on the ground that the name of one of the jurors does not appear upon the assessment-roll of this county. This action is instituted in behalf of J. C. Sim- mons, against whom an ndietment was recently returned charging him with an jnfamous crime.
