On New Year’s day the crew went into the Japanese firemen's quarters, and after a time a quarrel sprang up be- | tween the Englishmen and the firemen They fought on deck, but no one, ac-| cording to the captain’s account, was injured, and the only upshot of the dis- | pute was that two Japanese firemen were ordered to go ashore. ‘We (Daily Press) understand, how- ever, the passengers give a very different account, and that they assert the Japanese used knives against them and also against some of the engineers. They also affirm that although a Jap- lying alongside the refused to render any tance in suppressing the disturb- ance.

On the ngth of their narratives the Hong- ng al declares that ‘“a more cowardly attack could scarcely be im- agined,” and all three of them still bore marks of rough treatment.

FINDS A BURGLAR AT WORK IN A SALOON. Fresno Officer Prevents the Theft of | a Quantity of Liquor and Cigars. FRESNO, Feb. 13.—At an early hour | this morning Special Watchmon Smith detected a burglar in the Fig\ o Beer Hall, at the corner of Tula.. and J streets, which had been entered by burg- lars a couple of times recently. The ma- rauder dodged back of a parfition when he saw the officer and the latter fired his pistol. The report attracted several citi- zens and the officer guarded the front door while three men ran back to the al- ley in the rear of the saloon. The foot- steps of .the fleeing burglar were heard as he was running away, and one of the citizens fired at him, but the fugitive made good his escape. Shortly afterward a_well-dressed man came out of a yard adjoining tHe saloon and asked what the shooting was about. He then coolly walked away, ln&okl a cigar. It is believed that he un{h- burglar.

His Daughter, Found With Him in a Hovel, Will Recover Her Health. Speclal Dispatch to The Call LOUISVILLE, Feb. 13—Dr. John E. Develll, who was found in destitute cir- cumstances with his daughter, Miss Cora Develli, in a comfortless room on East Main street, several weeks ago, dled to- day in a New Albany sanitarium. He was taken to the institution a week ago to undergo treatment, but his vitality had become so low that the manager of the sanitarium did not think it advisa- ble to give him any treatment other than to relieve his pain by the use of the drugs to which he was addicted. His body was almost one mass of sores caused by the use of the hypodermic nee- dle, there being 150 abscesses on him when he died. These abscesses brought | on pyaemia, which caused his death. Miss Cora Develli, who was taken to the New Albany sanitarium with her father, has been steadily improvihg and her physiclan feels certain that she will recover her health. Wealthy and in- fluential friends of her father, who re- side in this city, have taken her case in hand and they will care for her after her recovery. Dr. Develil was for years a prosperous and highly respected physician until wrecked by the morphine and cocaine ha- | bits. He w an Italian by birth, was highly educated and accomplished and spoke many languages with fluency. His learning, no less than the mystery ol his life, ich no doubt died with him, was a constant source of wonder to those who were thrown in contact with him. He came to this city right after the war, though he is said to have been in Louis- ville during the war as a Confederate spy. Many strange stories have been told concerning him, especially since atten- tion has been called to the sad ending of what once promised to be a brilliant career. It has been said that he was a political exile, that he killed a man in a duel in his youth, and other theories have been advanced to account for his reti- cence concerning his early life. COLONEL HERNANDEZ DYING IN PRISON. Alleged Participant in the Garcia Conspiracy Near to His Death. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 13.—Nieves Hernandez, who was suspected of com- plicity in the Garcia conspiracy and was tried by court-martial and sentenced to death, is now dying at the San Diego military prison. He was of strong con- | stitution, but the inactive life has told on him and he is slowly wasting away. The evidence against him satisfled the tribunals, but his friends believe in his innocence, although ,the circumsfantial evidence was strong. Dominguez Cowan, a member of _the Cuban revolutionary junta of New York and head of the Cuban committee, is dying. He has been very useful to the Cuban cause and will be a loss to the patriots. —— ‘Wounds a Policeman.

Retired Three Years Ago Because of | =& Political Dispute With Baron | Banfty, the Premisr. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. BRUENN, Feb. 13.—Count Gustav | Siegmund Kalnoky de Koros-Patak, | former Austro-Hungarian Minister of | Foreign Affairs, died here this after- | noon. | Count Xalnoky, who was born at | Lettowitz, Moravia, December 1, 1832, | was descended from the Moravian ibramh of an old Bohemian family. He entered the diplomatic service of Aus- tria in 1850. From 1860 to 1870 he was | Chancellor of the legation at the Aus- | trian Embassy in London. In 1874 he | was Minister at Copenhagen; in 1880 | he was sent as Embassador to St. | Petersburg, and in 1881 he was ap- | pointed Austro-Hungarian Minister of ‘Foruign Affairs, a post he held with | distinction until May 16, 1895, when he was succeeded by the present Austro- | Hungarian Foreign Minister, Count | Goluchowski. The cause for his resig- | nation was found in Count Kalnoky’s | action in reference to the denunciation | of ecclesiastical laws by the papal nuncio at Vienna, Monsignor Agliardi | who was charged by Baron Banff | the Hungarian Prime Minister, with | having made statements at Budapest } which amounted to interference in | Hungarian affairs. | Baron Banffy addressed a note to | Count Kalnoky informing him that an | interpellation was about to be put for- | ward in the Hungarian Parliament concerning the utterance of the nuncio 1 which had appeared in the Hungarian | newspapers, and had never been dis- | claimed by the author. Count Kal- noky replied that the nuncio had dis- | played tactlessness, overstepped the limits preseribed by foreign diplomatic representatives. and that he deserved that a foreign office note be sent to | the Vatican to complain of his con- duct. He went so far as to sketch a communication to the Vatican, and the Hungarian Premier telegraphed his approval of it. A few days after Baron Banffy sald in the Hungarian Parliament that the papal nuncio’s acts were not approved in Vienna. As soon as this speech was recited to Count Kalnoky he telegraphed to | Budapest that only part of his let- ter to Baron Banffy was for public knowledge; that the rest was confi- dential, and that the protest to the Vatican had not been sent. Efforts were made to reconcile the two Minis- ters, but these were unavailing. The Hungarian House approved Baron Banffy’s attitude unreservedly and | Count Kalnoky resigned. PROVES HER DEXTERITY WITH A SHOTGUN. Arizona Woman Riddles the Back of a Cowboy With Small Shot. SAFFORD, Ariz., Feb. 13.—At Geronimo yesterday occurred an affair in which one small woman not only put a cowboy to flight, but showed her dexterity with a shotgun in a manner that may prove fa- tal, according to Dr. Linsey, the physi- clan of the vanquished. Charles Carico, the male combatant, | claimed a colt that was being held by Jus- | tice of the Peace Morris. While Morris was absent Carrico invaded the justice's stable yard and tried to lead away the animal. - His way was blocked by the judge's wife and a shotgun. A few sharp words were exchanged, when Carico, ap- preciating the danger, started to run, his fnce being accelerated by a discharge of he gun. It is understood that Mrs. Mor- ris did not shoot to hit, but the result was that Carrico received about forty small s | shot in his side. Suffers Fatal Burns. SAFFORD, Ariz, Feb. 13.—Mrs. Miles Reay, wife of one of the leading residents of Thatcher, is lying near to death, her body horribly burned from the waist up. In some unaccountable manner her dress caught fire between her shoulders. She was_alone. She screamed for help and tried to tear her clothing from her. The material was too strong for her weak hands, and much of it had burned away from her body before assistance arrived. GENERAL TEXTILE | STRIKE ORDERED If Backed by Other Labor Unions ' All the Workers in New Eng- : land Will Now Go Out. BOSTON, Feb. 13.—At a meeting to-day in this city of fifty-five rep- | 8 resentatives of textile unions in New England voted to recommend that all unions call out the operatives in every The meeting was practically the outcome of the recommendation which President Gompers made to the Federation of Labor last Sunday, in which he urged the different unions to unite on some settled policy on the mill situation. At that meeting a committee wasappointed to take charge of the matter and after a conference this committee recom- mended that a general meeting be held to take definite action. the representatives of the various national textile assoclations assem- bled and for four hours discussed the situation from every standpoint. The primary object of the meeting was to devise some methods of rendering assistance to the New Bedford strikers. that if the strikers at New Bedford could hold out for four weeks without receiving more than 20 cents per operative a day in the way of outside assistance other mill operatives could stand a similar strain and that if all went out it would precipitate a crisis that would have to be met with in a short time by the manufacturers. that the mule spinners were in excellent condition as regards funds; united textile workers and the New England Federation of Weavers were also in good shape, but that the rest were short of funds. The questions were fully discussed and at length the matter was put to a vote, no one being registered against the motion unions should order a general strike in every cotton mill in New Eng- land until satisfactory adjustment of wages could be arranged. It now remains for the various national unions to take actlon on the resolution, but what this action will be is a matter of conjecture. I all should acquiesce and vote to strike 147,000 operatives would un- doubtedly cease work and the manufacture of cotton goods throughout New England would be at a standstill. few unions should vote to strike the refusal of the others would still keep a large portion of the mills in operation. Inasmuch as the meeting was the outcome of President Gompers’ suggestion and as he admonished the members of the Federation of Labor to join hands and assist the New Bedford strikers, probable that nearly every union will carry out the recommendations and that one of the greatest strikes ever seen in this country is fm- it was unanimously To-day It was pointed out 1t was also shown that the different If, on the other hand, only a it seems EEFEREREEFFEFEEEEEEEF R R R R R R TREATY WILL - BE DISCUSSED Will Take Up Much of the Senate’s Time This Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 18 —The ‘Ha- waiian annexation treaty will receive the greater share of the Senate’s at- tention during the wéek. The friends of the treaty have succeeded in secur- ing quite general assent from Senators | in charge of other measures that the treaty shall be given practical right of way until a vote can be had, which practically will decide its fate. The Corbett case has right of way, but the probabilities are that an arrangement will be made early in the week whereby | a time will be fixed for voting on the Corbett cdse, and that then the con- sideration of the treaty will be al- lowed to proceed without material in- | terruption. There are still some speeches to be made in the Corbett matter, and it may | be proceeded with on Monday in case no one is prepared to speak on the | treaty.

It now looks |as if the fortifications appropriation bill would not be considered this week. The House will on Wednesday enter upon the consideration of the bank- | ruptey bill, which the majority of the Judiciary Committee has reported as a | substitute for the Nelson bill, passed | by the Senate at the extra session last summer. Under the order made, the bill is to be debated on Wednesday, | Thursday and Saturday of this week at | 4 o’clock. The substitute, which the mi- | nority contend is practically the old Torrey bill, including both the volun- tary and involuntary featurés, will be opposed by the united Democratic and | | Populist opposition, but if there is no | | appreciable defection from the ranks | of the majority, the measure will pass. | The Democrats and Populists are both jfa\‘nrable to the passage of & volun- | tary bankruptey bill, but have always | vigorously opposed the Torrey and | other bills, including an involuntary | feature,. claiming that its purpose is | practically the creation of a law for the | collection of debts. To-morrow is District of Columbia day. Tuesday probably will be devot- ed to the consideration of such business as is reported from the committees, and a call of committees, and rriday, which was excluded from the order providing for the consideration of the bankruptey | bill, will under the rules be devoted to private bills, CLOVERDALE’S CITRUS FAIR.

Telltale Evidence Disclosed by a Careful Search of Their Dwelling. Prisoners Hurried to ‘Los Angelei Because of Threats of a Lynching. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA MONICA, Feb. 13—In the case of Charles Collins, found dead yes- | terday morning, the Coroner’s jury to- | day brought in a verdict that the de- | ceased was murdered with an ax in the | hands of Peter Garcia, alded and abetted by Mary Garcla. A search of the Garcia house, which had been guarded this morning, brought forth an ax that had been recently washed, yet on the back near the han- dle was a tuft of gray hair and some blood. Against the wall, under some | clothing, hung a blood-soaked old dress skirt that had also been partially washed. As the woman had not been allowed out of the place her resources | were limited. A blood-stained table | cover and a bespattered newspaper were also found. Mrs. Gareia gave up a $20 gold piece, but insisted that Col- lins had paid it to her in return for | borrowed morey. Marshal Dexter found | large blood stains on the railroad track In a direct line between the Garcia dwelling and the spot where Collins’ body was discovered. On the witnéss stand Mrs. Garcia | proved almost a match for the Coroner | and made no damaging admissions. Garcia was not so bright. He testified that he sold a basket of star fish to a stranger for §4 yesterday morning, and out of that it Jeveloped that he had paid $3 for a pair of shoes, bought over- alls, taken a trip to Los Angeles and spent some money, glven $5 to City Trustee Carrillo to keep for him and bought a brooch made of a Mexican | dollar, beside paying sorae small bills and redeeming Collins’ saw that he had pawned. The blood stains on his coat must have been made by his nose bleeding, he thought. Collins’ watch could not be found, though Garcia was seen to have a| watch in his possession yesterday. Immediately after the verdict the pair were arrested and hurried to Los Ange- les as threats of lynching had been | freely made. It was not expected that | the inquest would be terminated until | late into the night and before the ex- | cited crowd realized it the pair were | hurried into an electric car and were | on the way to the Los Angeles County | Jail. | WILL ADVERTISE THE EXPOSITION Delegation of Omaha Business Men Starts on a Tour.
