He adds: At the Tsung LI Yamen (Chinese Foreign Office) yesterday (Thursday) | conditions were agreed upon respecting | the Talien Wan lease.

He is willing that the quar- antine line be located further south, that cattle in that region may be re- moved to Nevada, as wished by the cat- tle men who own grazing lands in that State, but as yvet the Governor of Ne- vada 'is unwilling to receive them. The Agricultural Department has signified its willingness to designate an agent to inspect these cattle jointly with a State agent. Governor Budd has been wired by Senator Perkins asking him to use his influence with the Governor of Nevada.

It is understood that an effort is being made by California sheep ranchers through California Congress open Yosemite forest reservation. sheepmen were some time ago prohibited from using this reserve for grazing pur- poses because the animals destroyed the young shrubs and trees and fires became frequent, doing much damage to the tim- ber. Regular army troops have patrolled the reservation each summer for several years. A resolution will be offered i{a Congress directing the Secretary of the Interior to reopen the reservation. This will be stubbornly opposed by Califor- nians, who want to preserve the timber of the reservations. Protests are already | belng received. | F. L.

SALINAS, March 25.—After a long, | dry, cold spell of three weeks rain be- and continues with prospects of an all- night storm. The precipitation up to 6 o'clock to-night was about three- | quarters of an inch. The downpour will help this vicinity considerable and aid in saving an immense amount of grain | which was fast being Killed by the cold and drought. and Gabilan mountains are covered with snow. Reports received from as | far south as Santa Margarita are to the | effect that the storm is general over | the Salinas Valley. The hopes of the | farmers are raised and all are jubilant | over the relief afforded by the rainfall. SANTA CRUZ, March 25.—Rain com- menced falling early this morning and continued the entire day. It came just | at the right time and farmers are jubi- lant. The severe north wind of several days ago had done its harmful work, | but the rain to-day is just what is needed for grain and feed. HANFORD, March 25.—Rain began falling at 4 o’'clock, and a steady light fall continues. STOCKTON, March 25.—Rain set in at 6 o'clock this mornng throughout San Joaquin County and continued up | to 10 o’clock, when it ceased, though | there are prospects of continued show- ers. he rainfall varied from a drizzle to a quarter of an inch. In Stockton .16 of an inch fell. Telephone messages | this morning from various points in | San Joaquin County and vicinity indi- cate that there is no question that | apricots, almonds and other early fruit were almost totally destroyed by the frost. Vegetables have been set back | somewhat, but not badly damaged, and | the prospects are that with a couple | more showers the grain yleld will be large. SAN JOSE, March 25.—It commenced raining here about 6 o’clock this morn- ing and up to noon one-third of an inch had fallen. The downpour is wel- comed with great joy by the farmers, the high winds of the past few days having dried out the ground to such an extent that irrigation would soon be necessary.

WATSONVILLE, March 25.—It com- | menced raining here this morning and there was a heavy downpour all day, with indications of more to-night. This will enable many to plant beets. The rain comes in very good time, as stock was suffering from continual frosts and dry weather. CARSON, March 25.—Snowstorms prevail throughout the western portion of the State. It is hoped they will con- tinue long enough to stock the moun- tains well with snow and avert a | drought next summer, which has seemed inevitable for the past month | or so. There have been few storms | during the winter, and farmers in the | valleys, especially Mason Valley, one of the most important agricultural gions of the State, have hesitated about seeding ground for next season. April on the mountains, and Nevada may ex: perience a pronounced drought. VISALIA, March 25.—Rain com menced falling this afternoon and will probably continue all night. The fall | up to 6 o’clock was .20 of an inch. The | rain will save late-sown grain. It is | reported from the Visalia Fruit and | Land Company’s orchard north of here | that the entire crop of the 440-acre or- chard was destroyed by the recent ‘ frosts.

Officers Beat the Kings River Swamps in a Vain Quest. With Their First Theories Exploded the Men of the Law Are at Sea. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, March 25.—Officers who have been hunting for the Cross Creek bandits since the morning following the hold-up are now completely at sea. This evening they gave up the hunt and returned to Visalia, where they held a long consultation in the Sheriff's office. Yesterday they were confident as Kingburg, and were satisfied that the outlaws had taken refuge in the swamps along Kings River, where they | would ultimately be beaten out of their hiding places. To-day, however, the bandit hunters | searched the swamps. but could find no | trace nor the slightest clew to indicate | that the men were there or even had | sought a hiding place in that vicinity. | The officers who were beating through the swamp to-day were Detectives | Mead and Hume, Sheriff Van Buckner | | of Kings County and Deputy Ayres and | Sheriff Merritt of Tulare County. It is | stated that they were completely at sea. They found nothing to confirm their suspicions as to the robbers’ whereabouts. Yesterday Sheriff Rob- erts was confident he knew where at least one of the robbers was, but to- | day’s futlle search caused him to doubt | whether he was right in his first con- | jecture. | © The officers think that the robbers | might possibly still be hiding in the | | swamps and will more thoroughly | search that section before entirely abandoning their theory, but their | hopes now are faint. | Absolutely no news has been received here about the robbers. Deputy Sher- | iff Timmins and Deputy Constable | Henry started in a carriage yesterday | afternoon, but did not say where they | were headed for. It is believed they went to the woodchoppers’ camp on Kings River. Nothing has been heard of them since, and it is not known when | they will return. Some of the officers believe that the robbers are now walking the streets of Fresno, but it is hardly thought possi- ble that they could have driven to the city after the hold-up without being seen. They are known to have -one as far as Kingsburg, and from there the officers thought they had traced them into the swamps, but now it seems that they did not go into the swamps after all. Detective Hume is said to have ex- pressed the opinion that there were at least five men in the job. |WANTED FOR BURGLARY | AT BELLA VISTA. | | Capture at Salinas of an Accused | Man Who “Jumped” His | Bail. | REDDING,March 2%.—A short time ago | Robert Raper, son of Thomas Raper, & prominent farmer of the East Side, was arrested on a charge of burglary pre- | ferred by Mrs. Victoria Browning, a well- to-do widow. Raper was released under a $300 bond. His examination was set | March 17, at Bella Vista, but he disap- peared on'the 14th, and could not be found | on the day of his'trial.

He Had Loaned Over $800,000 to One Man on Worthless Security. Following This Disclosure the Insti- tution of Which He Was Cash- ier Suspended. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. PHILADELPHIA, March 25.—The sudden death yesterday of John S. Hopkins, cashier of the People’s Bank, and the assignment made last night by the Guarantors’ Finance Company, were followed to-day by disclosures which showed an important connection between the events. The Coroner’s investigation this aft- ernoon developed the fact hitherto con- cealed by the family that Hopkins had committed suicide by shooting, and an examination of the affairs of the Peo- ple’s Bank by its officers resulted in the revelation that Hopkins had during the past two years loaned the bank’s funds in large amounts to Richard F. tors’ Finance Company. These loans, is said, over $600,000, were made wholly without the knowledge of the officers and directors of the bank. The securities given by Loper as col- lateral for the loans were found, ac- cording to the statement of one of the bank’s officlals, to have very little value. In consequence of these rela- tions the bank closed its doors to-day indefinitely. The State Insurance Commissioner on Wednesday asked the court to appoint a receiver for the Guarantors’ Compa- ny, which did an insurance business, and it is believed that Hopkins, on learning that the company could not make good its indebtedness to the bank and knowing that exposure would fol- low an investigation of the Guarantors’ affairs, concluded to end his troubles by taking his life. It is the general bellef in financial circles that the People’s Bank will pay dollar for dollar to its creditors. Presi- dent McManes is reputed to be worth at least $10,000,000, and he is credited with the statement that he would see that no creditor of the bank lost a cent. The directors are: James G. Wells, Clay Kemble, Allen B. Roorke and John W man. The bank was incor- porated in 1870 under the State laws, and for years was known as the ‘“‘Po- ltical Bank,” because it attended to the financial transactions of nearly every city or State politician of note. United States Senator Quay has had extensive dealings with the bank, but a telegram received to-day from Mr. Quay stated that he was not affected in any way by the failare. The bank has a capital stock of $1,500,- 000 and is an official depository for the city and State. The active deposit of the State’s fund is $505,000, and of the State sinking fund there is on deposit about $250,000.

Badly Injured While Resisting an Assault by High- waymen. Sudden Leap of His Horse Overturns but He Drives His Carriage, Away the Thugs. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, March 25.—Willlam Beckman, the Sacramento banker, was attacked by highwaymen last night just | this side of the town of Auburn, and while resisting he was thrown from his vehicle and severely, but not dangerously, | injured. There is a dark ravine just this side of Auburn, and as Mr. Beckman was pass- ing through it very slowly a highwayman sprapg from the side of the road and seized the bridle of his horse. At the | same instant another robber approached | him from behind, and, reaching over the | wheel of the carriage, made a grab for | Mr. Beckman'’s watch chain. The banker | quickly placed one hand over his waten, | and with the other hand struck the horse | a blow with the whip. The horse gave a lunge, but, being still held by the bit, turned the buggy so as to cramp it in such a way that Mr. Beckman was pitched headlong to one side of the road. As Beckman fell he shouted that he would kill the first man that moved, and by the time he was able to regain his feet his assailants had disappeared in | the brush which lines the road. Beckman made his way to a farm house, | where his wounds, which consisted of a contusion over thé right eye, and three broken ribs, were dressed. Subsequently | he was taken to Auburn and thence to this city, arriving this morning. The at- tending physician pronounces the wounds | by no means dangerous, and as Beckman is a man of wonderful physique, and in the best of heaith, he will be out in a few days. He is the second director of the People’s | Bank attacked by robbers this week, Mr. Croly being the first. The condition of the latter is much imyroved and the | chances for his recovery are very favor- able. A ROBBER FOUND GUILTY. W. J.

Wilson fought hard to acquit | his client of ..ie cnarge, as the fate of Badgeley and Ely, men implicated in the robbery, was in the balance. Pettit arrived in town from Fort Point with $20 in his pocket, and began to cele- | brate the incoming year. He started at | Iourth and Market Streets, and tried the | liquids in all the saloons on that street until he met Clarke. He was then in a loquactous mood, and made friends with | the prisoner.

STRIVING FOR KASSON'S GOLD Conflicting Stories Told by Claimants to the Estate. Aged Witnesses Give Evidence "of a Memory That Is Remarkable. Hopes of the Contestants Are Blasted by the Statements of Mrs. Malloy. Special Dispatch to The Call STOCKTON, March 25.—It is doubt- ful if there has been another legal con- test waged in this State that has de- veloped as many surprises and dramat- ic incidents as has the Kasson estate case, now occupying the attention of Judge Jones, and in which a dozen prominent attorneys have been en- gaged for more than a week. It is re- markable in many ways. The wit- nesses, though seemingly truthful and sincere, have shown memories that ara most unusual, and evidence given by them have made up stories that are sa strangely contradictory as to make tha whole affair appear more like an ex- travagant romance than a collection of queer facts. The hopes of the contestants were destroyed when Mrs. Malloy told her story. She declared she was at one tima the wife of George M. Kasson, had lived with him during the years thesa two children were said to have been born, and that she had never given birth to a child by Kasson. She is a woman of 74 years, and she has aston- ished everybody by the remarkably clear manner in which she recounted all the principal events of her long life. She was questioned under cross-exam- jnation to-day for several hours, but in spite of the efforts of the attorneys who represent the other side to shake her evidence, they have not as vet snapped a single thread in the chain of her story. The most important festimony in the case to-day was that of Mrs. Sarah E. | Millekin, a cousin of George W. Lindy a claimant in the case, and the puta- tive son of Thomas Lindy. Mrs. Mille- that she frequently saw Lindy at the breast of his mother, Mrs. | Lindy. A dramatic incident was the identifi- cation by Thomas Wilson, 83 years of | age, of the family record in the Lindy He had written the record fifty- He identified the hand- writing as his own, but could not re- member having written it, though that Bible. | fact had already been developed by Lindy’s testimony. He was present at the marriage of the Lindys and the Kassons, and knew all about the fam- ily affairs. His testimony was very un- favorable to the Lindy claimants. | SPOKE ON DOMESTIC RELIGION. Rabbi Voorsanger Addressed a Large Gathering in Temple Emanu-EL Last evening, in Temple Emanu-el, Rabbi Voorsanger addressed a large con- gregation on ‘“Domestic Religion, or the Influence of Religion on Homes.” In part he said: “One of the most natural desires of man is to live his life without pain and in a fearless manner. Thoso desires are swayed by thoughts of the future, bu. the responsibility which con- nects humanity with infinity is lacking in many instances. The comparison of re- ligious systems is worthy of study. Many | follow belfefs that their mothers have taught them, and, in consequence, are unsatisfied from their own views. We have arrived at a point where we must accept one course or another as under the present system some dissatisfaction must | result. ‘““We have surrendered many traditions which were dear to our fathers, but we are still making apologies and hiding our real thoughts.” A Batch of Sentences. Judge Wallace yesterday sentenced Wil- liam Hennessy, a lad of 16 years, to im- prisonment at Folsom for ten years. He was convicted of the burglary of a butcher shop at %05l Felsom street. ‘Willlam Devine. who had pleaded guilty to burglary in the second degree, was given the same term. Frank Allen, another boy burgiar, re- celved a sentence of one year to the same institution. R. Pelligrinni, convicted of stealing a saddle, was sentenced to serve one year in San Quentin Prison.
