%, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, i MAY 12, 1897T. N0 FUNDS FOR PEARL HARBOR SundryCivilAmendment of the Senate Killed in the House. The Need of Coaling Stations Shown by Cummings of New York. But It Is Voted That There 1s No Present Necessity for an Appropriation. WASHINGTON, D. C,, May 11.—By the decisive vote of 86 to 53 the House in com- | mittee of the whole to-day non-concurred io the Senate amenament to the sundry civil bill appropriating $50,000 for the im- provement of Pearl harbor, Hawaii. It was strongly advocated by Hitt of Illinois, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the last House, who explrined the terms of the Hawaiian treaty. Reply- ing to a question, Hitt said the matter | bore no relation to the question of aznexa- tion, for if the Hawaiian Jslands were ac- quired the necessity would still exist for a coaling station. ““One of the things neces- sary,” he said, “is to bold it. Let us go in there and plant the flag, and it will not come down in a thousand years.)” [Ap- plause.] Cummings (D.) of New York said the United States Government had been awarded §15,000,000 by the Geneva arbi- tration tribunal, in return for which it had yielded the assumption that coal was | a contraband of war. That was a time when Great Britain had 271 coaling sta- tions and the United States had not one. He might be induced to vote against it because he had confidence in the patriot- ism and Amerieanism of William Mec- Kinley and believed that before his term of office expired the Hawaiian Islends would be an integral partof the United States [great applause], but he would vote for the amendment. Hitt was also ably aided by Simpson (Pop.) and others, but could not overcome the opposition led by Cannon (R.) of Illi- nois, who contended that there was no present necessity for the appropriation. Sayers (D.) of Texas said that stalking behind the appropriation was the spectre of annexstion and territorial aggrandize- ment, and he would raise a note of wara- ing 1o bis Democratic associates. The Senste amendment relating to forest reservations was non-concurred in, but was agreed to in conference after some modifications. The Senate amendment taking from the classified service the appointment of twelve commissioners to classify the mineral lands of the Northern Pacific grant was concurred in. The sundry civil bill was tten aisposed of and a conference ordert upon items still in dispute, when an adjournment was taken until Tharsday.

WICHITA, Kaxs., May 11.—After caus- ing a murder and six y of continuous trouble the contest case of Wierman and Ballard vs. E4 Vanderpool for the quarter section east of Langston, O. T., on the Cimarron River, has been settled by Bec. retary Bliss giving s decision in favor of Vanderpool. Tt will ve rememberea that Vanderpool and Ballard, the colored politicians, en- eaged in several bouts, finally resulting in the killing of Ballard by Vanderpool on a public road near Langston.

S ES e Central Park Muicide Mystery Solved. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 11.—The mys- terious suicide whose budy was found in the reservoir in Ceniral Park yesterday has been fully identified as Mrs. E. G, Reiss of Brookiyn. The discovery of her body in the reservoir caused a decided sen- tion. She was a beautiful and fashiona- bly dressed woman, and the first theory was that death was the resultof an acci- dent. Later discoveries, however, proved conclusively that it wasa case of suicide. | LIBERAL VICTORY IN QUEBEC. | | Overwhe/ming Deteat of the Conservative Candidates Throughout the Province. | OTTAWA, Oxr, May 1L—The Quebec provincial election« were held to-day and resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Conservative Government. Returns from ell constituencies to-night give twenty Conservatives and fiity-three Lib- | erals. Tne magnitude of the Liberal vie. | tory is a surprise to both political parties. With the Manitoba school question and | the bait offered in the completion of the | Baie des Cnaleurs Railroad, including the expenditure of several millions of dollars, working in favor of the Government, it } was thought that the Conservatives would win. | " The presence of the Papal Ablegate in the country in a great measure vrevented any active and open interf renc> by the Oetholic hierarohy. The letter from the Ablegate was pub- lished a few days ago, in which he depre- | cated clerical interference with the right | of the people to vote as their consciences | dictated, and this evidently accounts for | the tremendous Liberal majorities cast. Premier Flynn was defeated by a nar- | row majority in his own county. Itis | now an accepted fact that the Manitoba | schoot question has received its quietus, | Marcnand, the Opposition leader, having | been decorated by the French Department | of Pudlic Instruction. The Liberal suc- | cess is largely due to the growing desire | to escape priestly domination in Federal affairs and to mark its svmpathy with | Laurier’s opposition thereto, and as such | the victory is much less Marchand’s than it is Laurier CEOAR NOT INVITED AS A GUEST. There Is Not Room Enough to Honor Washington's Great-Great-Grandnephew at the Unveiling Ceremonies. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 11.—Per- misson to witness the unveiling of the Washington monument as a guest of the | society has been refused to the great-great- | grandnephew of General George Wash- | ington by the committee in charge. The | zentleman disappointed is George Steptoe Wasuington and he resides here. No doubt his claims for recognition are well { founded. Ten days ago the commitiee received a letter from Mr, Washington asking for an invitation to the stand. The commizttee replied yesterday that the demands for tickels were so great it would be impossible 10 comply. Wasnington is mansger of the wholesale grocery firm | of Robert Company. He is known to all the committee and belongs to the Sons of the Revolution. He says: “I am descended from Augustine and Colonel Samuel Washington, brothers of George. My father was born and reared | at Mount Vernon and his brother was the last owner. My father still lives at Har- wood, W. Va,, on the homestead built by Colonel Samuel Washington. Doliy Madi- son was married there.” Shobhe KANSAS FARMERS FRIGHTENED. From Phillips Coun'y Comes a Story of the Doings of a Reptile F.ity Feet Long. TOPEKA, Kaxs, May 11.—Postmaster Walker of Logan, Kans., is authority for the story that farmers of Crystal Creek, Phillips County, are greatly excited at the appearance of an enormous reotile, which they suy is fifty feet long. It hasasnake's body, but two horns. Itscolor is green, with dirty white spots. It eats small ani- mals, principally fowl. One farmer lost fortv pigs in forty-eight hours, Another testifies that the monster killed a plow- horse, which was feeding near the creek, by a single blow of its enormous tail. It was shot at several times, but its hide wus proof against bullets. When in anger it litts its head ten feet in the air and pro- trudes its tongue three feet or more and utters a cry like a puppy crying for its mother. It hides ina swamp. Itis sup- posed the reptile came from the deeper | water of SBalmon River. Farmers bave organized a party to hunt the monster down. | | | | | | s i GUMPERS SEVERE, Charges the Knights of Labor With An- tagonizing Unionism. | LONDON Exc., May 1L—A radical weekly paper of great circulation an- | nounces in its labor column the receipt from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Feaeration, of “a strong con- demnation of the organization known as the Knights ot Labor.” The paver goes on to say: ‘“He calls it & ‘moribund concern, guilty of many acts of perfidy toward labor,’ and says they have ‘combined with unfair employers to resist the efforts of workingmen’s unions who were fighting for union wages and union conditions.’ ‘““Gompers characterizes the organization and its action as ‘desperate, contemptible | and un<crupulons.”” The publication has caused a big sen- | sation among the laboring classes here. 'm«\ many think that Gompers has been rather severe in his sirictures. On the other hand there are those who say that Gompers took the proper course in denouancing an organization which was antagonistic to the American Federation. 1t is just possible that some of the labor orpanizations here may take a hand in the fight. s s CABINET COR1S18 IN DENMAKK, Premier Reedtzihott Resigns and the King Appointe His Successor. COPENHAGEN, DExMARK, May 11. The long expected ministerial crisis has occurred. Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Baron Reedtzshott ten- dered his resignation this morning. The King has summoned ex-Premier Estrup to form a new Cabinet. There has beeu a great deal of discon- | tent because of Baron Reedtzshott’s man- | agement of affairs. Everything seems to have gone wrong under his administra- tion, Itissincerely hoped tbat the new Cabinet under Premier Estrup will be e to straighten out matters. —— William’s Divine Right. LONDON, E~e., May 11.—The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News says that { Emperor William attended the consecra- | tion of two new churches at Berlin tbe | oiher day and presented to each of them | a Bible, autographically inscribed with the last seven words of John xv:5, “For without me ye can do nothing,” and that | part of the twenty-third verse of the seve | enth chapter of Jeremiah reading, ‘‘Obey | my voice, ana I will be your God, and ya | shall be my people.” | Trial of the Gunboat Nashvitle. | NEW LONDON, Cosx., May 11.—The trial of the new gunhost Nashville took place to-day at Nortons Point.

His Aggressive Operations In Matanzas Carefully Concealed. Depositors Refuse Paper Money for Gold and Rald a Bank at Havana. HAVANA, Cupa, May 11.—The pres- ence of Gomez in the western end of the province of Matanzas is confirmed. Go- mez has been in Matanzassince last week. but the Spanish authorities have kept the fact carefully concesled. The plan of Gomez appears to be to return to Santa Clara province soon. General Weyler was compelled by Go- mez’s movement to the west to send to Mutanzas and Havana provinces the bulk of his forces, 60000 men, near Jucaro Moron trocha. The excitement produced by Gomez’s proximity has not impeiled the Spanish merchants in Havana to ac- cept paper money at par with gold. . The Spanish Bunk of the Island of Cuba has not closed its doors, as was reported, but there was a raid on the bank yester- day by more than 2000 persons, who over- powered the guard of the bank and de- manded that the cashier give gold for its own bank notes. The police were sum- moned, and to calm the mob the bank authorities appesled to the patriotism of the Spaniards present and promised that | the paper-money question would soon be settled. A revolution of the Spaniards themselves in Havana may be a result ot the financial distress impending. Weyler has taken the field. Prior to his departure he stated that he intended to fully protect the peasants concentrated in towns, and added that he bad given or- ders to deliver unlimited passes to all pacificos who wished to go into the coun- try to gather vegetables. In conclusion he stated that his principal purpose was to reconstruct the country in the swiftest aad surest way. 8ix hundred and fifty-two sick aund wounded soldiers returned to Spain yes- terday. e AS 10 BELLIG:RENT RIGHITS. Morgan’s Kesolution to Keaognize Cubans I Discusted. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—The Morgan Cubau resolution was discussed at some length to-day in the Senate, Mor- rili making a long speech against it. He objected to wresting from the Executive of recognizing belligerents’ rights. Spain, more surely than any larger nation, would be likely to resent by war any formal declaration by tle United States of Spain’s incompetency to main- tain her sovereignty in Cuba. Nations of Europe, if they ever accepted the Mon- roe doctrine, were unlikely to accept any new and botched verson of it set up by an American jingoist. He spoke of the United States as the ‘‘masked gaardian and fighting champion of all the reput- lics, big and little, of North and South America, in their difficulties and disputes with European nations.” To carry out this chiaracter we ought to create an army and fleet strong enough to eclipse all that could be combined against it. He contrasted the moderate language of Monroe with recent ‘‘war whoops in Congress, “Prosperity,” he said in coneclusion, “can only come from years of peace and | industry that will give the laborer the American standard of remuneration, give to capital some exemption from sndden changes, and the whole country an era of good common-sense and conservatism."” The debate was taken part in by Fora. ker, Allen, Milis, Lodge, Stewart of Ne- vada, Caffery and Cbandler, none of whom took an extreme view of the question in either way, except Stewart, who de- manded immediate action. The resolu- tion went over for further consideration. OF INIEKEST TO THE 0O 8T, Patents Isaued to Inrventors and Fen- sions to Union Veteran ‘WASHINGTON, D.

C., May 1L—An officlal report atout the leaks in the Brookiyn drydock was received by Secre- tary Long to-day from the investigating board, which indicates thut tie condition of the dock is much more serious than supposed here. The battle-ship Indiana, which has been waiting for a long time to getinto the drvdock to be fittea with a new bilge keel 10 prevent her rolling in a heavy sea, will probably have to wait many months now until the leaks are stopped, as the Port Royal drydock is not available for warsnips needing these im- provements.

Energi of the President Sorely Taxed by the Horde of Office- Seekars. WABHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—See- ing a horde of office-seekers daily and spending from three to four hours nightly considering the papers of candidates is telling on the President. He is pale and wan, and appears to have lost some of his old-time energy. Secretary Porier admit- ted to-day that the President is not so well as two or three weeks ago, but insists on seeing people and gives himself no recreation except a daily walk, which he enjoys greatly, He was completely fagged out to-night, but pouring over papers of applicants at a late nour. Chief Justice Fuller and son-in-law, Hugh J. Wallace, the National Com- mitteeman from Washington, called on the Presideut to-day.

WABSHINGTON, D. C, May 1L.—Four years ago the coming Decoration day about thirty veterans of the war were dis- missed from positions they held at the Philadelphia mint and their places sup- plied by Democrats. Nearly every one of the thirty has applied for the office he neld, and Secretary Gage in investigating has discovered the removals to have all been made on the annual memorial oc- casion of old soldiers. He has now de- cided that nearly, if not all, the dismissed mint employes deserve their old positions, | and with grim humor has set Decoration day as the day on which the restoratiuns shall occur. The rush of veterans dismissed by the Cleveland administration to secure .heir former berths 1s unprecedented, and caus- ing President M:Kinley great embarrass- | ments, inasmuch as many veterans are incapacitated from performing their old duties. Many reavpointments have been refused, but reinstatenients coniinue so fast that tbere 1s talk of a protest from the Civil Service Commission that the wholesale reinsiatement of veteransis a violation of the spirit of the civil service law. = L8 PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

MADE PENITENT BY ABJECT FEAR Scenes on the Leewards After the Earth- quakes. No Lives Lost on the Mont- serrat, but People Pray Night and Day. About Sixty Persons Are Known to Have Perished on the Isle of Guadeloupe. NEW YORK, N.Y., May 1l.—Some particulars of the earthquakes that stirred the Leeward Islands almost at hourly in- tervals during the week ending April 23 were brought here to-day by the steam- ship Madiana of the Quebec Company’s fleet. One of the islunds affected was Montserrat, inhabited chiefly by negroes. ‘The Madiana dropped anchor off the chief town of the island, which is made up of less than 200 houses, on April 25. All hands went ashore, and were surpriser av the funereal aspect of the place. Every- body was at church or attending one of the numerous revivals that had been zoing on since the first earthquake split the walls of all the two-story brick build- ings on the sugar plantations of the islands and threw down a dozen or more flimsily constructed dwellings. Nobody was killed at Montserrat, but about sixty persons lost their lives at Guadeloupe. During the two days that the ship was at Montserrat revival and prayer meetings were held ev ry hour. The shocks had ceased then, but the whole population was tremulous with fear, and priests and Protestant ministers had more work than | they could attend to. Everybody was so | pious that the officers and crew of the | Madiana feit as if they had been visiting a cemetery. All the brick houses were deserted, and only substantial frame structures, built on piles, were used to !sleep in. Many spent day and night in | the open air. St. Kitts and Antizua were also affected, but there was no loss of life except on Guadeloupe. | INDICTED KOK WiIFE MUEDER. An Uklahoma Under Sheyiff With « Very Unsavory Record. WICHITA, Kaxs., May 1L—At S8till- water, Oklahoma, the Grand Jury has re- turned an indictment against Charles f. Hiatt for the murder of his wife. Only a | few days ago Hiatt was acquitted of the | murder of Allen Cook in the District Court at Stillwater. Some moaths ago he shot his wife in bed at Stillwater, and the | Coroner’s jury returned a verdict of acci- | dental shooting. It seems that he went | out to see about his horses about mid- | nightand carried his Winchester along. | When he returned, his wife, who' was ly- | ing in be'l, was shot through the bead and | kiiled instantly, Hiatt says the gun was | accidentally discharged and happened to bit his wife in the head. Mrs. Hiatt was well connected in Mis- souri and at Stillwater. At one time Hiatt claimed that he shot his wile in_the | yard, mistaking her for robber. It is charged by some that Hiatt and his wife had been quarreling during the night, and that she threatened to tell of some of the acts that her husband had committed. At the time of the shooting Hiatl held the position of Under Sheriff. = Officers have goune to arrest Hiatt, who lives in Galena, Kane., at present. s S TR ELMER CLAUSON HANGS TO-DAY. No Further Hope for the Jersey Murderer. NEWARK, N. J., May 1L.—All hope for acommutation of the sentence of death { that hangs over Elmer Clauson, the young Somerville, N. J., murderer, has been abandoned by his counsel. He will be hanged to-morrow. Clauson’s crime was peculiarly brutal and inexcusable and tbe oniy hope ever bad of a commutation of his sentence lay in his possible moral irresponsibility. At the end of his first trial last Septem- ber, when the verdict of muraer in the first degree was brought in by the jury, so great was the doubt on this point that many induential persons seriously | thought of makingz a plea for mercy in his behalf before the Court of Pardons, but certain things that developed after the trial convinced them that the verdict was just and they made no recommenda- tion to the Court of Pardons. In spite of this, from time to time reports have come of the probable commutation of his sentence, but they have all proved erro- neous. PEL R P CXCLIST'S SHOCKING DEATH.

Before the motorman could stop the car the wheels had passed over the body of the uniortunate young man, killing him and mangling his body in a terrible manner. So completely was Ochsner’s body un- der the wheeis that considerable time elapsed before it could be extricated. | When taken out it was placed on another street car, which was pressed into service as a hearse to carry it into town.

The Phenomenal Case of a Girl Born of a Coal-Black Mother and e Mulatto Father. WICHITA, Kaxs., May 11.—A case which is attracting wide-spresd attention in mu?u:al and scientific circles 1s that of Delia Mayficld, a sixteen-year-old colored girl llvmxg in Ardmore, Indian Territory, whose skin is gradually growing wiite. The girl’s mother, who is a coal-black negress, is cmployed in the family of one of the Federal officers and her father is said to be a mulatto. About five years ago white spots began to appear on the girl's body. These have spread until her entire body is now said to be white. Her face, neck, arms and hands are spotted, the dark splotches being irregular in 'size and largely pre- dominating. Delia has regular features, Jarge, dark-brown, liquid eyes, straight dark hair and thin red lips. As the dark skin disappears from her face it is replaced by aciear, pinkish complexion that any society belle might envy. If the change in the color of her skin continues as in the past in less than two years’ time the | girl will be entirely white. She had an offer last fall to travel and exhibit herself with Ringling Brothers' circus, which she declined. Medical authorities differ as to the causes that proauce the change in color, but'the con- sensus of opinion is that a disease is de- stroying the coloring matter of tne skin, which leaves the cuticle white. If that is the case the colored people of her neigh- borhood are praying tbat the disease may be contagious. —_— WAS MARKED “CONFIDEBNTIAL' Sherman Injures the Nicaraguan Canal Preject Through an Oversight. WASHINGTON, D. C., May. 11.—Itis reported here that the Nicaraguan Goy- ernment, through United States Minister Baker, has assured the Secretary of State that the notice filed with O.ney last Janu- ary that the canal company had forfeited its charter was owing altogether to a mis- take. The notice was made public ina rather dramatic manner by Sherman dur- ing debate in the Senate as a result of his oversight in not noticing that the commu- nication was marked ‘‘confidential.”’ Soon after that incident the president of the canal company appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreizn Affairs and recited the actual condition of affaire. The testirony was laid before Sherman, who made it t'.e basi« for a rather sharp letter to President Zelaya of Nicaragua, with the result that the latter hasinformed Sherman that the communication was sent to Olney under a misunderstanding.

AND THE DEAD Startling Recovery of a Man in a Boston Hospital. Had Been Pronounced Lifeless After the Regular Tests by Physicians. Then the Patlent Suddenly Revived. A Falling Brick DId Not Break His Skull. BOSTON, Mass., May 11.—A dead man came to life in the city hospital morgue to-day. Frank McDermots left his home at 38 Webber street this morning and went to work on a new building on Mount Pleasant avenue. One of the workmen, three stories above where McDermott was working, dropped a brick which struck him on top of the head. His fellow work- men picked him upas dead, called a police ambulance and hurried him off to the city hospital. Everbody thought McDermott was dead, and he was carried airectly to the Morgue. A half dozen physicians gathered around the body to make a perfunctory examina- tion of the corpse, according to the rules of the institution. They had just pro- nounced him dead, after the regular tests, when they were astounded to see the corpse move and assume a sitting posture. “What's the trouble?”’ he asked, getting up from the table and jumping about the room. An examination by the physi- cians showed that McDermott’s skull had not been fractured and, other than a slight scalp wound, he was all right. After his head had been dressed he went back to work. Itisconsidered a moat re- markavle case as the patient had appar- ently been dead several hours.
