At a brief meeting of the Cabinet some correspondence relating to the establishment of a French Iline of steamers was read. The steamers are to be put on very shortly now, and will run from New Caledonia, Tahiti and other French possessions in the South Pacific to Honolulu. Honolulu will be the ter- minal point of the new line. It 1s sur- mised that Honolulu will be made the supply point for all the French Islands. Mails, freights and other goods for the | people residing on these possessions will be brought to Honolulu from Can- ada and the United States to this port. Here they will be picked up and carried to_the dirferent islands. The government would only give out the most meager information concern- | ing the enterprise. From whom the correspondence was received could not be learned, but it is probable that the French government is interested in the new line. The news of the establishment of the | new line of steamers is hailed with de- light by the merchants and residents in Honolulu. A line of steamers such as the one proposed means many thou- sand dollars of revenue in each year. Fair Sails for Euré‘pc. NEW YORK, Feb. 12—Among the pas- sengers who sailed on the Lucania for Liverpool to-day was Charles L. Fair, son of the late California millionaire. ding Hawailans at | he | with the circumstances. From the mo- ment the man was arrested he was aware that his guilt was known. He had admitted it in advance, and had been betrayed. In conversation with a representative of The Call he again admitted his guilt, but did so {nadvert- ently. He then virtually made a prom- ise that he would tell all about it. No inducement was held out to him. He was simply asked if he did not think that such a course would ease his mind and possibly create a little sympathy for him. In this mood he was left. Shortly afterward an Examiner man, accompanied by a deputy named Fitzpatrick, visited the prisoner and | remained for some time. Fitzpatrick Fairfield, February 1l2th. | Frank Belew, now confined in the County Jail, being duly sworn, states that he was visited in jail on February 4th by John F. Conners, representing the San Francisco Examiner. | states that said Conners, for and on behalf of the said Daily Exam- iner, made him several offers of money if he would confess that he poisoned his sister and brother; was refused, whereupon divers offers were made, finally culminat- ing in a specific promise to pay said Belew the sum of Two Thousand Dollars if he would make said confession. offered would be paid as promised and being in sore need of friends and money, the said Belew, hoping thus to be rewarded by The Exam- iner, and believing in the representations and promises of its said agent, JohnF. Conners, did on the day following make certain state- ments relative to the crime, and did consent to acquiesce in such reports thereof as the said Conners might write for his paper. Said Belew further testifies that he has not received a cent of the promised reward from Conners or The Examiner. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 12th day of February, ZEC P andfor Irtoo.cc Cal 2 is of the type best described by the word “bulldozer.” He is understood to have killed his man, and he it was who had held a pistol on Belew when the handcuffs were being put in place on the lonely ranch at the time of the ar- rest. Belew hated him, but was afraid of him. He had also expressed a sense of disregard for the Examiner man, but the pressure was too strong. Be- tween the bullying and the cajoling, he yielded the old story that The Call had had in type days before. He was anxious to unburden his mind. The only reason the Examiner had so much trouble in getting him to do so was that he distrusted it. To almost any- body else he would have talked freely then. But the Examiner's representative MURDERER BUNKOED FOR A CONFESSION " 'The Examiner Offered Frank Belew .

Suspicion Falls Upon a Neigh- bor, Who Is Placed Under Arrest. | Evidence Indicating That the Victim | ‘Was Murdered for His Paltry Savings. Special Dispatch to The Call. | minutes Fleetwood, his owner SANTA MONICA, Feb. 12.—The body of Charles Collins, a well-known car- benter of this place, was found ‘to-day in the sandhills south of the town. The top and back of the skull had been 1 crushed in, evidently with an ax, | | hatchet or heavy timber. Collins was building a house for himself and occu- pied a tent on his lot not far from the | spot where his body was found. His | nearest neighbors were Peter Garcia | and family. They had lived on a part | of Colling' land, but their house had‘ recently been moved off to make room for his imnrovements. ‘ Mrs. Gareia, a not very prepossessing | woman, seemed not at all surprlsedl when told of the murder. It might | have been an everyday occurrence, for} all of the interest she manifested. She imroediately® declared, however, that Collins was building the new house for her, and claimed she had loaned him $50, part of which he had repald. She| said he had told her last night that he | was going to Los Angeles, and would | not be home until Monday. His effects seem to disprove this assertion, as his | valise was open and his effects strewed | about, and his carpenter tools lay | about just where he had used them. | I The body was discovered by two | women, and Marshal Dexter was noti- | fied. It lay face down, with the right arm underneath. There was no evi- dence of a struggle. One theory is that he was murdered in his tent and the body carried to this place, yet the con- ditions indicate that he fell there. Tracks of two persons_led to the place, and the tracks were deep in the sand, as though the pair might have carried a heavy load. On each side of the body was a depression, as though some one | had knelt in the sand. Collins’ watch- chain was broken and the watch gone. He had no money upon him, although | when he paid a lumber bill two days | price was named for his useless ser- vices he is in a more advantageous po- | sition to collect than the poor dupei who was swindled out of the story of | crime. It is the consensus of legal | opinion that a confession extorted bylr fraud and threat is without value, and | as the facts were already well known, | the only thing accomplished by the Examiner beyond making a display of itself was to cloud the situation and throw obstacles in the path of justice.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Another “mil- llonaire’s daughter” has quit society | and taken to the stage, and this time | not because of dear papa’s financial re- verses, but simply for the “fun of the thing,” for love of the footlights and of the boards immediately behind them. | The young woman is pretty, and her | rather irate father is a multi-million- aire of the Pacific Coast, R. J. Nort- ham. Maud, who will play Therese in “Mac- beth” on Monday at the Fifth-avenue Theater. Mr. Northam is one of the very wealthy men of California, and has enormous ranches near Los Angeles, | where he and his family spend much of their time. One of these adjoins that of Mme. Modjeska, and an inti- macy sprung up between the actress and the Northams. The young girl broached the subject of her desire to go on the stage, and it was discussed between Mme. Mod- jeska and Miss Northam's family. Miss | Northam frankly avowed to-day with reprehensible slanginess that she | “grew deadly tired of the society act and wanted to do some work.

SHORTAGE IN THE ACCOUNTS Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SALINAS, Feb. 12—The Grand Jury | of Monterey County, which has been in session in this city for the past week, | fal report to Judge N. A. The young lady is his dsughter | 2d¢ 8 partlal rep " Dorn to-day. The Judge, not having appointed other grand jurors to take the places of the members of this one, they were only temporarily dismissed. Four indictments were found. Ex- County Tax Collector Charles L. West- lake was found short $7030 64 in his accounts for the years 1895 and 1896, and the District Attorney was Instruct- ed to take proper proceeding to collect that amount. This makes the sixth indictment brought against Westlake. At the last sitting of the jury in January it found the ex-Tax Collector short over $8000. He was then under four indictments for shortages aggregating about $950 for county licenses, had been tried and ac- quitted on one charge and was about to stand trial for another. The trial was for a shortage of about $200, and after ‘| 2 long deliberation the jury was dis- charged, nine favoring for acquittal. He will be tried on March 7 on the same charge. County Assessor W. A. Anderson was found to be short in his accounts. The Assessor’s accounts for the year 1896 show a deficit of $819 85. This amount was, however, allowed to be paid by Mr. Anderson. A search- ing examination failed to show any in- tention on the part of the Assessor to defraud the county, and the Grand Jury exonerated him of criminal in- tent. This is the second shortage that has been found in the Assessor’s office. The last report of the Grand Jury showed a déficit of over $1000 in An- derson’s accounts, but he was allowed to make this good. It was thought by some that further charges would be brought against County Auditor George S. Miller, for at the last meeting of the jurors they charged him with willful neglect of of- fice, and papers were filed against him. The matter is now under advisement by Judge Dorn. The Grand Jury authorized the ex- &ernn; of some officers’ accounts for e pears 1894 and stage | After All the Speeches Are Fin- ANNEXATIONISTS ABANDON HOPE Cannot Get the Votes| Necessary to Pass the Treaty. ished the Measure Will Be Withdrawn. It Is Now Evident That Hawaii and Cuba Will Have to Be Con- sidered Jointly. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Feb. 12. The friends of the annexation of Hawall, in the Senate, have abandoned hope of ratifying the treaty. They lack four votes of the necessary sixty, and they see no way at present in which these can be secured. Had they been able to decide upon the course to be pursued in the event of the defeat of the treaty they would force a vote at once or else withdraw it. But they have let the discussion run on in the hope that the sky might clear. There are still several speeches to be delivered in executive session, and there {s no present intention of at- tempting to cut these off, but nothing further will be done toward putting the treaty through. It is believed that when the question comes up in open session it will give rise to as much debate as has already taken place. The opponents of annex- ation are confident that their case im- proves with argument and that the dis- cussion would have an effect on pub- lic opinion favorable to them. Never- theless, the members of the Foreign Relations Committee will bring the question up as soon as they can de- vise how it can be brought up. Senator Chandler and Senator Mor- .gan are of the opinion that the Cuban and Hawaiian question ought to be Jjoined when it comes to positive leg- islation, and Senator Mason served no- tice in his speech this. week that he was for Cuba first. This is & problem that the friends of annexation will have to meet—how to get a joint resolution through without having it incumbered with a Cuban resolution. It is thought that Speaker Reed cannot prevent the House from adopting a double resolution on Cuba and Hawali, and that the President would give his approval. TO BE EXTENDED NORTH TO SAN FRANCISCO. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—United States Minister Wilson at Santiago, Chile, has notified the State Department that a consolidation is probable of the two pow- erful steamship companies on the South- ern Pacific coast, the Compania Sud Americana de Vapores, under the Chilean flag. and the Pacific 'Steam Navigation Company. The combined lines, aided by a Government subsidy from Chile, are to extend thelr service nmorthward to San Francisco. . Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal. J.

It is reported that he pawned a saw be- | longing to Collins last night, and this | morning redeemed it. He was then | seen to have a $20 gold piece in his possession. It was discovered that he had paid a small bill or two. He could not be found until this even- ing, when the officers took him into custody. It is thought he had been in Los Angeles. He was wearing new | shoes and a new pair of overalls and had $2 30 in his possession. As 30 cents would be more than he ordinarily had, and, especially, as he had been drink- ing, appearances were against him. He did not ask what was wanted of him. When he was taken to the morgue Constable Myers struck a match. Although the corpse was seem- ingly unrecognizable, the arm over the blood-stained face, when they asked him if he knew the man he immediate- ly answered: ‘“Yes, that is my neighbor.” It is hardly possible that he could have heard of the murder. His house is guarded and will be thoroughly searched for more incriminating evi- dence. It is not known whether Col- lins has a family or not, as he has al- ways been alone here. Mrs. Garcia says that he has a daughter, but she does not know where. THE GREYHOUNDS FOOL THE TALENT Six Times the Short-Enders Pluck Spicy Per- simmons. Field Stewards Detect One Case of Fraud and Promptly Act. Fifteen hundred people went out to In- gleslde yesterday to see the coursing. They saw lots of it and of all sorts. The Eastern dogs of Dr. von Hummel tired them in the start. The talent looked upon Prince of Fashion as a “pipe” over Von Hummel's Van Neda and played the Prince at 2 to 1. Even the doctor him- self had little faith in Van Neda and played her for but a few dollars. She won from the Prince with ease. The latter seemed averse to killing and threw away at least two opportunities. Then Von Hummel's crack Von Brulle came out against the so-called scrub, Nel- ly Daly. Nelly may be a scrub, but if she is, scrubs are valuable. She turned down the Eastern fiyer and was back in her kennels without wetting her coat. The Duke of Oakgrove was another | wood; J. Murnane’s Flashlight beat | key & Rock’s Myrtle; T. But! Susie | beat J. 'Dean’s Mialma; P. Riley’s Ranger | The latter outworked him from slips to kill. Nelly B was, in fact, in much better form than she has shown for several weeks. The course between Fleetwood and Grasshopper developed something of a “sure thing” over Nelly B. sensgtion. Grasshopper is admittedly fast and clever, but Fleetwood should have done the trick handily and the talent made him a 3 to 1 favorite. He was never in it after the lead up and when Grasshopper won Judge Grace promptly called the attention of the field stewards to the fact that from appear- ances Fleetwood had either been brought on the field overfed or with an overdose of water. The field stewards took the matter in hand instantly and inside of ten and all other dogs owned in the same name were ruled off for life. The owner of Fleet- wood had trusted him solely to his train- ers and there was where the job was put up. }‘)The running was as_follows: Dr. von Hummel's Van Neda beat Low & Thompson's Prince of Fashion; S.

George B. SperryVR;iing Easily at the French Hospital After a Successful Operation. Present indications point favorably to | the ultimate recovery of George B. Sperry from the wounds inflicted by an accidental explosion of a shotgun while on a hunting expedition in Marin County. The sufferer, who is at present lodged | in one of the wards at the French Hospi tal in this city, is resting easy and ther. are no immediate indications of blood | poisoning or erysipelas setting in, which means a speedy mending of the shattered | eg. | Upon the patient’s arrival in the city yesterday afternoon from Olema, where the accident took place, he was imme- diately taken to the hospital and placed in the hands and under the care of Dr. Putnam, the resident physician. He was instantly placed on the operat- ing table upon his conveyance here and an anesthetic administered. The shat- tered knee cap was hastily examined and the wound, which had been dressed by a country physician soon after the ac- cident occurred, reopened and thoroughly cleansed. The wound was then restitched and the entire leg placed in a plaster-of- paris cast, after which the patient was consigned to one of the large rooms ad- joining the main ward. Dr. Putnam, speaking of the accident last evening, said that every effort was being made to save the injured leg, and unless Sperry’s present condition takes | an immediate change for the worse he has sanguine hopes of a favorable re- sult of the operation and the ultimate re- covery of his patient. Owing to the ex- tremely vital nature of the wound, how- ever, no definite prophecy can be made to whether the leg will be saved or it will be considered necessary to amputate. — e CARMAN’S VERSION. One of the Alaska Trading Commit- tee to Chicago Gives His Explanation. The dispatch in yesterday's Call from Chicago, in whicn the Alaska Trading | Committee was severely criticized, | brought forth the following explanation from D. M. Carman, one of those whose | names were mentioned in that dispatch. This explanation was made to those hav: ing charge of the Alaska Trading Com- | mitteee’'s management in this city. It is as follows: | ‘“Referring to the article that appeared | in this morning’s Call, D. M. Carman of | the Alaska Trade Committee said that, while it was true that during the two | days that his troubles in Chicago necessi- | tated his absence from the Chicago of-| fice, some of the employes got on a spree | and, doubtless, did some very question- able things, however, not one dollar of the commitiee’'s money was expended by them in that way. “Every dollar of the committee’s money was properly expended, and there is voucher for it. “Of the $1120 received by him on account | of the Eastern trip, $214 50 was paid for salaries, and the balance expended in payment for hall rent, posting the large | posters of the jubilee committee and dis- | tributing literature in the towns and the | expenses incidental to the work at hand, and all {s properly accounted for, the bills having been audite — e OBJECT TO THE ORDER. Merchants’ Association Addresses the Supervisors on the Side- walk Stairway Matter. The Merchants’ Association has ad- dressed a communication to the Board of Supervisors in reference to the proposed license ordinance affecting the space be- neath the sidewalks and protesting against the passage of the same in its present form. It is claimed that the order, unless largely amended, would work a great in- justice on merchants, and the special committee that was appointed by the as- soclation to report on the ordinance ad- vances the objection that the existing areas under sidewalks and the stairways leading thereto were excavated and con- structed at the expense of the merchants and with the consent of the city, and that it would be a manifest injustice to impose a license fee under the circum- stances. It is claimed also that the order dis- criminates against Market street, that thoro%hfflre being the only one in the city 100 feet in width. Fell Dead.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in- curable. The usaul symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom- panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache, fickle ap- petite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condi- tion. The cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucons surfaces of the stomach. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use af- ter each meal a tablet, composed of Disatase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drugstores under the name of Stu- art's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough diges- tion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose be- comes inflamed and the poisonous dis. charge therefrom, passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for ma for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day I am the hap- piest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I can- not find appropriate words to express my good feeling. thzave found flesh, appetite and sound st from their us regzufan's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation, as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy { for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
