Specia! Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. 7.—Neil Kjar, a prominent rancher of San Luis Obispo County, who mysteriously disappeared from his home there a few days ago, spent last night in this city at the St. James Hotel. He arrived here yes day afternoon on the 2:35 train from the south, and went at once to the ho- tel, where he registered under his right name. After breakfast this he settled his bill and left the place. Kjar did not mingle with the other guests at the hotel, and was ve ticent, but otherwise his actic not queer. This afternoon the s office began making Inquiries about town for Kjar, and found that he had spent the night here. Kjar's home life was a_happy one, and the people about San Luis are un able to account for his sudden disa pearance. It is thought he may have become temporarily insane. He left a note for his wife, saying he was going’ north and would never return, and stated he had left $400 on deposit at Andrews' Bank in San Luis Obispo for her. The writing was pronounced a forgery, and for a time foul play was suspected. Kjar is known to have about $600 in his possession. MAY RETURN TO. THIS COUNTRY WITH SEALSKINS.

KILLS WIFE WITH AN A Terrible Crime in a Little Massachusetts Village. - | After Crushing the Skull of His ! Spouse the Murderer Cuts His Own Throat. | The Unfortunate Woman Had R cently Left Her Bed After lilness. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 7.—Charles Hayward killed his wife by crushing her skull with an axe at their home in Green Harbor Village, Marshfield, about a mile from Brant Rock, early this even- ing. Just what led up to the murder is not yet clearly explained, as the only witness of it, a sister of Mrs. Hayward, is so unnerved by excitement and shock that she cannot clearly tell the story. The first known of the murder was when a y great excitement, rushed into the Green Harbor telephone office and said that her brother-in-law had killed his wife, her sister. The girl said that Hayward chased his wife out of the house with an axe, and catching her in the road, cracked her skull open with it. Then more into the yard of the house. The girl, after witnessing this deed, rushed down the road, crying for help, and did not stop until the village was reached.

The discovery was made by Martin Stearnes while digging a well on his Government claim. When he got down | twenty feet he struck the ledge and | found that it extended several miles, | places. He sent a sample to a San Francisco assayer, who reported that it was remarkably rich. | Stearnes let Henry Emanuel of | Lower Lake into the secret, and they | then undertook to get the whole ledge into their possession, for all the land in that vicinity has been patented. H. C. Boggs «f Lakeport owns 4,000 acres adjoining the claim upon which the dis- covery was made, and they commenc- ed negotiating with him for a part of it. Mr. Boggs suspected that there was “a mnigger in the woodpile” from the way they acted. The land is moun- tainous and unfit for agricultural or grazing purposes. Small quantities of gold and copper had been found before in that vicinity, so he told them that he would not sell the land, but would give them $500 should he fail to deliver the deed, specifying that if any mineral were found the agreement would be void. The men denied having made any dis- coveries, and the deal was about to be consummated. Their over anxiety, however, caused an investigation, and their secret was learned. Boggs at once declared the deal off. Stearnes and Emanuel are develop- ing their claim, and now talk freely of their discoveries. get it in better shape they will try to get capitalists to develop their prospect and put in a stamp mill.

LONDON, Jan. $.—A special dispatch from Shanghai says that a Japanese fleet of three battle-ships, three first-class s and numerous smaller has received orders, practically placing it at the disposal of Sir Alexander Bul- lock, British commander-in- chief of the China station, this step being taken “in case Rus- sia persists in ignoring the joint interests of England and Japan.” The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News says he under- stands that the peculiar form of the lease of Kjaochau was the outcome of prolonged nego- tiations between Germany and Russia, ending in an agreement and the mediation of Russia between China and Germany.

A dispatch to the Dalily Mail from Singapore says: A telegram received from Hoihow, on Hainan Island, de- | nan, but says that the French warships Descartes and Surprise are there. PEKING, Jan. 7.—China has rejected | the proposals for a Russian guaranteed | loan. Kiaochau has been leased to Germany for fifty years only, although Germany had demanded a ninety year term. To-day the Chinese Ministers and the members of the Tsung Li{ Ya- men (Board of Foreign Affairs) paid new year's visits to foreign legations. BERLIN, Jan. 7.—It is semi-officially announced that Prince Henry's squad- ron wiil still be necessary at Kiaochau, as the Germans may have to reckon for some time to come with *‘possible outbreaks of Chinese fanaties.” It is also asserted that the cession of Kiao- chau does not affect the monetary compensation due from China for the murder of the German missionaries.

The Cabinet Does Not Consider That the Question Has Reached a Serious Phase. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The Cabi- net meeting to-day was attended by all the members except Secretary Alger, who is still confined to his house by ill- ness. There was some discussion of nied the reported annexation of Hai- | —It is reported here | COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 7.—This was a quiet day among the army of polit- | ical workers enlisted in the Senatorial | contest, but it was productive of some | important developments. The situation is practically unchanged, however. The efforts of the steering committee to whip the Democratic members into line to vote for a Republican for Sen- ator have not been so successful as they expected. As a result, it is stated authoritatively to-night, there will be | a caucus of the Democratic members | | next Monday night. The purpose of | the caucus is to locate the doubtful members and pledwe those who are| willing to carry out the proposed fus- | ion, so that enough members can be kept in line to insure the maintenance of a deadlock, should one be forced. The most reliable information to- | night is that Mr. Kurtz will be pro- | posed as the candidate of the opposi- tion for both the long and the short | term. 1t is believed by the Democratic leaders now that Mr. Kurtz will be more acceptable to the majority of the Democrats of the Legislature than any other man. Mr. Kurtz is almost worn out from the fatigue of the all-mgm‘ vigils in which he has participated at the Great Southern Hotel during the | week, and has spent the greater part | of the day in retirement. | Senator Hanna spent a comparative- ly quiet day at the Neil House. The | activity of his supporters was un- abated, however. Speculation on the | vote for Senator has not changed. Mr. Hanna's managers are following the | tactics of the opposition and are not | | giving any figures. It 1s claimed by the leaders of the opposition that ail the Democrats will stand together, bu | this claim is not borne out by the in- formation from other sources. It is l | claimed by some that at least twenty | Democrats will refuse to attend the | caucus, but this is probably exagger- ated. More conservatively, the num- ber is placed at from six to ten. Indications to-night were that the opposition is, preparing for a long deadlock. vention of Republicans in this city | | next Monday by the Republican State Executive ~ Committee to protest against the attempt to defeat Senator Hanna somewhat discuncerted the op- position. They claimed that it was| merely & move on the part of the Hanna people to intimidate the Re- | publican members who refused to vute‘ for Hanna. It develops that the Kurtz people | have bestirred themseives to bring a | big crowd of Governor Bushnell's friends here to attend his inaugura- tion. | It is stated that for this purpose rafl- road tickets were sent to certain local ities where the Governor's friends wer: thought to be numerous, for free di: | tribution, for the purpose of bringin; as many as possible to the city. The calling of the mass convention will | | probably bring a large crowd of Hanna | | supporters to Columbus. Agents of | Kurtz people were to-day endeavoring | | to place pictures of the Governor in the | | windows of business houses on all the | | principal streets. They met with con- | siderahle opposition, and but a few pic- tures appear. | Preparations are being pushed for | the inauguration by the local commit- | | tee, despite the opposition. The inau- | gural parade will be made up chiefly | ! of military, as nearly all of the politi- | cal clubs that had decided to pflrlk‘b’ pate have rescinded their action.

The answers of the Secretaries of the Inte- | rier, Navy and War have been with- held, and the subject was discussed to- day with the purpose of making sure that there are no broad conflicts of ex- ressed opinion in the answers. The most important matter consider- ed was the Eastern situation, which was discuss~d at some length. It ap- | peared to be the opinion of the Secre- | tary of State and the members gener- | ally that the gravity of the situation was overestimated. Germany’s action |4t was thought, had no other purpose than the acquisition of a naval station, and did not indicate that she had any | ulterior designs upon Chinese territory | other than for the purpose stated. Great Britain and the other powers, it was’ thought, would be granted the | same concessions Germany had acquir- | ed, but beyond this the European na- tions would not seek to go. The opin- | fon was also expressed that the inter- ests of the United States in China were not at present in any sense involved, nor were they likely to be. | The propesed relief expedition to the | Klondike also was touched upon. It is believed that some doubt has arisen as to the need for additional supplies in the new gold fields, and it is not likely that final relief steps will be taken until the necessity for the expe- dition has been fully demonstrated. IRy Home for Workingmen. L.OS ANGELES, Jan. 7.—The Salvation Army Home for Deserving Workingmeh was to-day formally dedicated by Com- mander Booth-Tucker, who said it was the intention of the Salvation Army to establish similar sheiters for worki en throughout the United States.

It is a settled fact. I think, that Corbett will not fight Maher before he fights Fitzsimmons agaln, and I am not_considering any such contingency. It is Fitzsimmons and Corbett or nothing, although if 1 cannot secure this fight, I might offer a purse for Corbett and Maher.’ Regarding the battle-ground, Stuart said he had two places under considera- tion—one in Nevada and one about four hours' ride from the mainland, some- where in southern waters, around the Guif of Mexico. The articles which will be submitted to Fitzsimmons provide that Stuart and the two ({)rlnclpnls are to select the referee, and Stuart an- nounces flatly that he prefers George Stler.
