He said tue signa- | ture was not his, but that it had been signed with his' permission by a man named Glynn, who had assisted him in | circulating the petition. Higgins further | stated that he had gathered most of his names by standing in a Fourth-street sa- loon and catching people as they came in. He signed them without knowing whether they were on the register or not. Charles Chadwick testified that he was, | for the four weeks of its existence, the editor of Grace's labor paper, known as “United Labor.” “I was not a regular member of the gang,” said Chadwick, “and wasn't much on the inside, but when | I told Grace that I wanted money for my | expenses he told me to wait a few days, | that a number of thecandidateshad prom- ised him contributions. He also told me that he was to receive a large sum of money from a certain person for the in- dorsement of a whole ticket. This was | before the Labor party’s ticket was filed | in Sacramento.” ‘A number of witnesses followed who had all been engaged by Grace as golic- itors, and their evidence was practically | the same as was given by previous wit- nesses of the same class.

He also_submitted that the court could not ratify the statement of Mr. Biggy, and that the papers of the petitioner were not in proper form and_had not been legally returned by the Registrar, as provided by law. ME'. McEnerney submitted that Grace fs not the chairman of the United Labor party, that there mever was a political party of that name as allezed by him, that Grace is not a party in the case, and that his petition does not contain the names required by law.

PEORIA, Til, Oct. 28.—The body of a voung man has been found lying partly in a puddle of mud on’a lonely road seven miles above this city. It was well dressed. There was no mud on the polished shoes, showing that the body had been carried to the spot and thrown out of a vehicle. There are two builet holes in the head, both entering from behind. Every particle of lettering had been cut from the linen and clothine. Near where the body was ‘ound a small camp fire was smoldering. Inquiry at the sotels herc throws no light on the matter. The Coroner found tattooed on the man's right arm the let- terse “M. W' and a heart. The collar bore the marks “J. L.—4," The clothes were of fine texture and tailor made. The feet and hands indicate that the man had been accustomed to luxury. SWALLOWED A SAFETY PIN. Suisun Infant Suffers for Months Before Relieved. SUISUN, Oct. 28.—About six months ago the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Willilam S. Morrill, weli-known residents of Suisun Valley, swallowed a small-sized safety pin and for days the life of the little one was despaired of. All efforts to alleviate her acute pain proved unavailing. The baby was taken to San Francisco and subjected to an X-ray examination, which failed to locate the sa!el:l' in, and the parents’ story was rega as a rather uncredi- ble one. At intervals since that time the child has nearly succumbed to convul- sions. On Wednesday night the cries of the little sufferer aroused the vfl.l‘!ntf‘:sd the cause of the pain was located. 1- cal ald was summoned and the dangerous pin was removed with the aid of instru- ments.

That was a most important thing, and 1 believe has had the effect of making the American people more determined that our country shall not be given back to Spain and, above all things, what our people desire and the desire of the Ameri- can people, I am led to believe, from what I have learned while in Paris, will be reflected and carried out by the American Commissioners of Peace. I can truthfully say that the Ameri- can Commissioners have treated us with the utmost courtesy and with considera- tion, so that we have bright hopes of the outcome. On the other hand, while the Spanish have had less to do, have acted toward us in a gentle manner, they have, never- theless, shown that they considered the representatives of the Philippine revolu- tionary government as intruders in Paris and that we should be ignored entirely, especlally so far as having anything at all to say with reference to the disposition of the islands in the final peace treaty between the United States and Spain. However, this was nothing more than was expected by us, especially If the Americon Government refused to allow | us & reprosentation on the commission.

While I cannot say that I have the positive assurance, yet 1 am satisfled from the knowledge I have gained in Paris that the American Commissioners ands or any part of them shall be re- turned to Spain. If that one thing alone is gained—ab- solute independence from tne sovereignty of Spain—then the revolution of my peo- ple, the 50\'ernmv‘nl establisned by Agui- naldo and our mission to Washington and | to_Paris have not been in vain.

PLANTS AT MINOR NAVAL STATIONS Commodore Hichborn Reports on the Needs of the Construction Bureau. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—A large part of the burden of equipping the United States navy for the war with Spain fell upon the Construction Bureau of the navy, and in his annual report Commo- | dore Hichborn, the chief constructor, fur- | nishes many interesting details as to the extent of this work, involving the trans- formation of more than 100 merchant craft into auxiliary naval vessels at short notice. Looking to the future, the chief constructor ~oints to the importance of | properly equipping and maintaining plants at minor naval stations along the coast already established, and he submits es- timates for the purpose, averaging about 325,000 in each case. He says that had the consequences of the recent naval engage- ments in the West Indies been nearly as serious as there was reason to expect they might be the Southern stations would have been necessary for repairs to ships too badly injured to be sent to Northern yards. To keep the nucleus of the force of men at these stations, small work should be constantly under way and Toper storehouses should be erected to eep sufficlent quantities of material on hand. It is suggested that while the new dock at Alglers, La., is building a suit- able regnlr plant and storehouses should be erected. —e—— CLAIMED THE HOLT ESTATE.
