E. Henderson concerning his action on Letters thanking Mr, Morton, as presi- ient of the league, for the good work of the league at the recent election, were read. Among the signers were President- slect McKinley; Charles Deck, who is Mark Hanaa’s secretary; F. L. Barnert f the Republican National Committee, and Frank McLaughlin, chaifman of the Republican State Central Committee of California. The letter from President- elect McKinley was as follows: CaxTON, Obio, Nov. 7, 1896. T. B.

A matter of leading importance before the meeting was the appointment of a committee of five to confer at the Assem- bly Club wit: another committee con- cerning the best way to urge measures before the Legisiature, which are summed up as follows: lepeal section 60, article I, of the Civil Code, commonly known as ‘‘the black law,” reading ~as follows: *“‘All marriages of white persons witb negroes or mulattoes are illegal and void.” Adopting a bill as follows: All persons within the jurisdiction of this State shall be entitled to the full and equal rccommodation, advantages, facilitfes and [rivileges of inos, resiaurants, hotels, eating- houses, bathhouses, barber-shops, music halis, public’ conveyances on land and water and other pleces of public accommodation or amusement, subject only to the conditions «nd limitations established by law and appli- cable alike to all ci'izens.

The committee consists of Rev. H. J. Calais, W. H. Carter, D. W. Macdonald, G. W. Mitchell and W. W. Butler. MONEY FOR EXHIBITS. Demand Made by the State Board of arade. The State Board of Trade has made a demand for an appropriation of $2500 oy the Bupervisors in aid of geiting up a Californ1a exkibit to send to the Guate. malan exhibition and another to send to the. Hamburg exhibition. The sum of $1500 is asked for the former and $1000 for the latter. It is proposed to send to the exhibition at Guatemala samples of min- ing machinery and all kinds of manu- factured articles and some wines, but little or no California fruits, as there is no market for such there. On the contrary 1t is proposed to send California fruits and wines only to Hamburg and send com- mercial samples, so that parties may order by sample and receive exactly the same class of goods. There is also to be an exhibit of choice fruits. Hamburg has taken guite a liking to California orchard products, as may be judged by the fact that three years ago the exportg of Cali- iornia fruits to that point were about two carloads, and this year about 150 carloads have been shipped. The State Board of Trade asserts that as San Iraneisco ob- tains the first direct benefits it ought to contribute to exhibitions and let the burden of expense fall on the interior counties. e Li Hung Chang’s Appointment.

The Chinaman Claims He Used His Knite Oaly to Save Himself, Was Assailed for Trespassing on the Farmer’s Land While in Quaest of Mushrooms. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Dec. 7.—Frank Peters, the Portuguese rancher who was ! stabbed by a Chinaman at Rides Landing | on Saturday, died this morning from the effects of his wounds. Ching Ky, who did | the cutting, is lodged in the County Jail here to awsit a bearing on a murder charge. The Mongol stated to-day that he had been out gathering mushrooms, and had procured a boxful and a basketful, a por- tion of which he had picked on Peters’ ranch. As he was walking away from the place he was accosted by Peters, who said be had no rignt to trespass on his prem- ises and demanded the results of his labor. The Chinaman to!d Peters that he bad procured the boxful of mushrooms on another ranch, and offered to giva up the ones in the basket, which he had gath- ered in Peters’ field. The retusal on his vart to givé up all the mushrooms, he cla:ms, angered Peters, who picked up a stick and struck him over ihe head. The infuriated rancher then ran into the barn and came vut with a pitchfork and attempted to strike the Mongolian, who drew & knife and slashed at his op- ponent, inflicting a gash over three inches long in the leit side of the abdomen. Tne Chinaman then sought to escape. While running he threw the bloédy biade inio the canal. The Portuguese settle- ment was aroused, and as Peters was highly respected in that section the in- | dignation was great. A party composed of “Doc’” Stewart, W. A. Kesner and Horace Albert armed it-elf and started | off in a carriage in the direction the China- man had taken. Two miles away me{. overtook bim at the brink of the canal, | which he was afraid to cross. They placed | him under arrest_and delivered him into | the cu-tody of Deputy Sheriff Harvey, | who brought him to this city. Peters was one of the best-kuown | ranchers of his locality. He was 33 years old. A widow and several children sur- | vive him. SRR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE. Three Institutions Increase Monthly Ex- penditures—dJ. M, Wood's $11,000 Request. SACRAMENTO,CAL., Dec. 7.—The State Board of Examiners to-day agreed to allow the claim of the Soldiers’ Home at | Yountville in the sum of $11.250, or $75 | yearly per inmate. As the Stute uoes not own the institution and has been improy- ing the grounds out of the maintenance fund, it was decided to make a formal de- mand on the directors for the deeds to the property before making any further appro- priations. The Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum, with an increase of five or six pupils, have | increased their monthly exvenditure from $2900 to $3300. They have increased sala- ries and added a music teacher to the list of employes. The Governor stated that this was evidently done for the purpose of gainy to the Legisiature with a deficit, 80 88 to procure larger appropriations, and he was in favor of biocking the game. J. M. Woods np})eurul before the board and presented a claim for $11,000 against the State Board of Harbor Commissioners. Tuis, he claims, accrued in the construc- tion of section B of the San Francisco sea- wall. The contract was awarded to F. J. and J. B. Owens, who agreed 0o do tue work for $16,000. Woods supplied the money. Tne job, by reason of anincrease in the price of material, cost $27,000. ‘Woods now wishes the State to ma'e good the §11,000 put in above the contract price. Secretary of State Brown expressed the opinion that the Board of Harbor Com- missioners instead of the Board of Exam- iners was the one to goto. Woods stated that he only asked the board to make a favorable recommendation to the Legisla- ture on a claim which was just. Governor Budd replied tnat the board conld not set a precedent by passing such a bill, as it would encourage all kinds of trickery in State contracts. “‘That precedent has been observed for hundreds of years,”” said Woods. *'I gava my money to the sovereign people of the S:ato of California. Do they want it for nothing? Richard the Third observed the precedent of value received. If you gave the Prince of Wales a two-bit cigar you would get six bits in return for it. I want only to get my money back. The State has no moral right to keep it from me.’’ “Well,” retorted Governor Budd, “if you can get Richard the Third or the Prince of Wales to intercede for you, you might get it through the Legisiature, but their patronage would not prevent me from vetoing it.” “Well, I'm a fighter, and I'll try my best to meke the Legislature see my way and give you whatever chance you wish to down me,” was Woods’ parting ;re- mark. Secretary Markely was instructed to look into the matter and report next Mon- day. Woods will report the facis to Markley. Governor Budd remarked that this was notbing more than courtesy de- manded, as he was convinced that unless a more worthy showing was made notning wouid be done by the board. —a GOVERNOR BUDID'S MESSAGE. It Will Kecommend Changes in the State Institutions. SACRAMENTO, Car., Dec. 7.—Governor Budd has begun work on bis message. One of the most impertant recommenda- tions made will be with reference to | work. changing the places of the Whittier School and the Home for Feebie Minded, as outlined seversl days ago. Governor Budd will provably recommend the estab- lishment of s dairy and créamerv to be operated by the boys at Glen Ellen. There is some doubt as to how the com- missions which will expire this will be treated in the messace, bus it is gen- ¢rally undersiood that no recommenda- tion in regard to them will be made by the Governor, but that they will be leit to take care of their own interests. with the probable excentions of the Bureau of Highways and the Code Commission. - Request for 4ppropriations. SBACRAMENTO, Car, Dec. 7.—The State Board of Capito! Commissioners to- dey decided to incorporate in its repert a request to the Legisiatnre to grant tue fol- lowing appropriations: $2500 for the painting of the State Agricuitural Pa- vilion; $2500 for laying_a sewer throu i the grounds from L to N streets, and $1000 for the purpose of fil ing in that portion of the grounds former y covered by the old sbed attached to the pavilion, and which has been lately removed.

Evidently the river bas forced a channel beneath the ice briage, and if the weather continu-s moderate there will be no danger of destructive floods. There was some cdamasge to the machin- €ery in the Government mill. A STEADY RUSH 10 RANDSBURG Patrick Reddy Returns Here After a Weel: in the Great Camp. Men Going in From Everywhere at the Rate of One Hun- dred a Day. Patrick Reddy, the widely known attor- ney and one of the owuers of a rich gold mine in the Randsburg district, has re- turned here after a week's absence at the mine. He says there is a big boom at Randsburg, the mines are ali looking well, and he believes the district will prove one of the richest ever known. He was found at his law office yester- day, very busy trying to catch up his He said be did not have time for a detailed interview, but would in brief say that it looked like a coming great country to him. “As to the area of the rich region,” he said, “it is several hundred miles long, and it is known to be from forty to fifty mles in width. Both quartz and placer mines are found all over. In a general way the veins follow the north and south course of the hills. Taking it from east to west, a number of mountains and ranges are crossed. “There is water at Cow Wells, the place recently called Garlock, where there is an eight-stamp mill, two stamps run by steam direct. Another mill, one of ten stamps, is being erected, Plenty of water can be had by sinking. “‘Reddy, Campbell and Metson have a shaft 37; ieet deep. At sixty feet water was struck, and it has been increasing rapidly. There is enough now for a 20- stamp mill. This mine is on the west side of the vailey from the Randsburg mines. All the Randsburg mines that have been worked for ore exclusively pay, and will pay. It was estimated a week ago that there were from 1002 to 1500 men in the camp, and they are going in at the rate of about 100 & day from everywhere. ‘It is very cool there, I had a fire in the cabin ali the time I was down there. It was average winter weather, Up where most of the developed mines are it is much cooler. The altitude is some 4000 feet. The weather never gets hot. in summer it is pleasant. **There is another mill at Kaln’s Spring. It is of five stamps and is running, and be- sides this there is machinery on the ground for five stamps more. No doubt o her milis will be erected there. Kain's Spring is also on the west side cf the val- ley. “'On the eastern slope they are putting up a ten-stamp mill, and have found :nlflr that will be pumped into Rands- urg. ‘I think it is the greatest gold field in California. The mines are not confined to u single range, but there is range aiter range, and the extent of the field east has not by any means been determined or limited. AsI see it there will be a great big camp there by the next year. I can- not compare the district with the Rand or Coolgardie, because I have not an intimate enough knowledge of those places. “'Lots of capital is now voing into the Randsburg country for investment. This capital and the men that are going tuere will, I think, cause some great develop- ments. It is in all respects a remarkable country.” DESIGNED AN AIRSHIP. Robert Nagler Dies Before His Plans Could Be Perfected. Robert Nagler, a trussmaker at 410 Kearny street, died suddenly of apopiexy at 719 Market street last Sunday night, and the case was reported to the Coroner. Nagler was an inventor, and it was his hope to create an airship before his death. In fact, he had progressed so far in this direction as to have prepared plans and models of an airship on which he received leiters patent from Washington. There was the element of originality in his ideas. His plans show a large ship-shaped vessel, operated by five large spiral pro- pellers. "Those on each end of his strange &ir craft were to ; ive it its forwar flight. On the deck he intended to have three tall masts, around which, from the top to the bottom, large light spiral propellers revolve. These were to assist the gas in the ship in lifting the structnre. Rudders fore and aft were also designed, Mr. Nagler also secured letters patent on the spiral propellers to be anplmi to ordinary ships, to take the place of the propellers now in use. He had worked on these iceas for several lyans He was 75 years old and a native of Germany. Even The Strange Air Craft Designed by Robert Nagle, Who Died Yesterday at an Advanced Age. GAVE HIS LIFE WITH HIS GOLD Mining Prospector Stabbed and Robbed in Yuma. An Indian Finds the Victim's Body Concealed in a Thicket. Authorities of the Arizona Town Have No Ciew to the Assassin. YUMA, Ariz, Dec. 7. —One of the strangest and most inexplicable murders ever recorded in Yuma County was dis- covered to-day. In a lonely and unfre- quented portion of the western suburb of Yuma a roving Cocopah Indian founa a bundle of bedding, such as is ordinarily carried by prospectors in their trips through the hills. Upon investigation it was found to conceal the body of the mur- dered owner. Gaping knife wounds in the head, the throat and the breast gave evidence of the crime; btut when, where and why the man was slain are questions to be an- swered. Overhung by willow bouzhs, almost buried in fallen leaves and covered by a large bundle of bedaing, the body was entirely coucealed from casual passers by, but the sharp eyes of the Indian | thar, if oniy ssa pure.y wuiidi. max m, espied the vundle that a white man would have passed and repassed without notic- ing. Investigation failed to disclose the iden- tity of the man further than that he was noticed on the streets of Yuma Saturday carrying the bundie which afterward served to conceal his body. There were nd signs of a scuffle at the spot where he was found, and it is evident that he was murdered elsewhere and the body con- ueyed to the willow thicket. 1wo knife gashes were found in the head, but neither would have caused death, as the skull was not penetrated. Direcsly throngh the center of the breastbone a large biade had been piunged and there were gashes in the heart. The man appeared to be about 45 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed about 135 pounds. A striking fecture was that his mouth contained but one tooth—a molar in the left jaw. His clothes, which were fairly good, contained no letters or papers which mightlead tc his identifi- cation, but on the band of his white-felt hat was the name ‘‘San Diego.”” The pocket of his trousers were cut open, and the conclusion is that he was murdered for robbery.

Suppose troops to be drawn up in linein such num- er as to extend for a mile and ordered, by a signal that all couid see, to fire at once. One standing st the end of the | ne would near the report of the musket near- est him instantly. He would hear the others successively. Thus a report 550 feet away woula come to him in half a second and he would not hear the last report for five or six seconds after the gun had been firec.
