WILL LEAVE SAN QUENTIN THE CALL’'S STORY AROUSES MR. BUDD’S INDIGNATION. Executive Will Lose No Time in Causing the Release of the Lads Who Were Railroaded to Prison. Special Dispatch to The Call. N PRISON, Nov. 22— for the three boys who ed to the penitentiary Obispo County have al- ned by the Governor, and a minor legal technicality ymplied with the lads will be given their liberty and sent home to thelr parents in Ba field. When the facts of this flagrant pro- ceeding and the action taken by the Board of State Prison Directors were read in The Call by the Governor his indignation rivaled that of the board itself. The public is already familiar with t details of the case; how the boys in qu ion, Earl Touseley, Guy Lamb and Ch an Portlock, the ela- est of whom aged 16, were arrested mping tour for having made use of an old herse that had been to die, pleaded guilty on the Sheriff and the Dis- they had been aling, had their pre- ation and were sent to a year; how they were n sent one at a time in order that fees of the Sheriff might be aug- mented, and how the parents of the boys were kept in ignorance of whereabouts of their children until they wrote to the postmaster at San Luis Obispo. “I have alreac said the Governo hile to one of the direct- ors to-d “but the law requires that boys be released the District the county from vhich of € the peniten must notice. He can, of ghts in the matter, ve his course, 1 and 1 te honed him with the inten- | tion of asking him to do so, but wa told that he was out of town. I never h a case as this before and little fellows out of on as the law will per- he: Iw there just as s mit.” Director Wilkins has not only acted in conjunction with his fellow-members of the board in inducing Governor Budd to pardon the boys, but has taken so deep an interest in the affair as to see 2 Governor personally and explain of the at greater length - specifically than . could be ; :nding him the docu case loath to criticize a pub- ial and his actions,” he asserted I put it mildly e excuse offered ing to the peniten- y is pretty flims}y District Attor- Dorn was not previously acquaint- ed with them, and I fail to see how he could have learned they were dime- novel flends without speaking to some person acquainted with them. Anyhov that is not an offense warranting such suffering and disgrace as they have en- dured, even it it be true. SACRAMENTO CAR SHOPS o for WILL BE REBUILT| Orders Which Discredit the Report That They May Be Removed to San Francisce. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 22.—A San Fran- cisco paper this morning contained an article announcing that the railroad car shops in Sacramento might be removed to San Francisco.

REDDING, Nov. 22.—A heavy snow for this season of the year fell in the Trin- ity Mountains on Monday, abundance of water for hydgaulic and placer mining throughout the Summer of 1599. A good flurry of snow early in the tall, with a subseéquent freeze and fur- ther snowfall, constitute a favorable win-| {er for the principal interests of Trin- ity County—hydraulic and placer mining. The annual gold yield of Trinity County amounts, under normal conditions, to something like $1,500,000, and since yes- terday’s snowstorm it is predicted that Trinity County will make a new record the coming year. Snow was falling at Dunsmuir, Sisson | and other points in the Sacramento Can- yon, indicating that the entire sweep of mountain range and hill country west, north and east of Redding was visited by snowfall. A freeze is sure to follow and the snow will lie on the ground until late In the spring.

RODE GRACEFULLY TO SHORE | e d oty ! LITTLE WATER IN HER HOLD AT THE TIME. | | Belief Prevalent That Her Destruc- tion Was® Due to a Delib- erate Purpose to That End. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. EW YORK, Nov. 22.—The steamer Antilla is at present in this port. Her second officer, Edward Webber, said to- day that when the Steamer was at Cat Island the Infanta Maria Teresa | was lyingin about fifteen feet of water |and the surf was breaking over her. | She was lying easy and not on the rocks, but with her nose in the sand. | “Had the surf not been so high I be- 1]1?\% that we could have pulled her off,” said Mr. Webber. “I questioned the natives and learned from them that the Maria Teresa first appeared in the offing about 8 o’clock in the morn- ing, the Thursday after she was aban- doned. She rode in gracefully, but had | she been brought in under skillful | guidance she could not have gone | ashore at a better place. She went on | the shore at 11 o’clock the same morn- | ing in which she was sighted. | "It is my opinion, as well as the | opinion of the others on Cat Island, | that for seme reason an attempt was made by those on the Maria Teresa to | have her sink. She had drifted far in | the storm. All the square portholes | above the waterline were left open, but in spite of this there was only three t of water in her when she came ashore. I believe that the crew when they left her were anxious that might be the last of her. She Iis lying at present with a very slight list to port. As her stern is pointing to the breakers the waves as they break mear the stern | run alongside, making little vibration. | The pumps were all right and the | working parts are above water. I be- | lieve that the vessel will not go to| pieces, but will remain where she is for | years. Her military masts have gone by the board and are lying on each side of her.” | NORFOLI, Va., Nov. —The Court | of Inquiry appointed by the Secretary of the v to ascertain why the Span- ish cruiser Maria Teresa was aban- doned and to fix the responsibility be- gan its labors to-day. everal of the crew of tugs of the Merritt Wrecking Company and the Leonidas were heard, but members of the court would not | give out anything for publication. | 'REAR ADMIRAL MILLER 1 ON THE RETIRED LIST | Dewey Will Be the Ranking Officer | { in the Navy on the 25th of Next Month. ™ | Admi- | w Nov. 22.—Rear ral Joseph N.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—The report from New York that Ad- miral Dewey had been offered and declined an offer of $5009 for an article on the naval battle of Manila and the future foreign policy of this Government was much discussed in Washington to-day. This coupled with his congrat- ulatory telegram to Theodore Roosevelt - and his letter to Friend, published to-dav. ex- pressing himself in favor of re- taining the entire Philippine archipelago leads politicalsharps to believe that Admiral Dewey is really an aspirant for the Presidential nomination in 1900. There was some talk of this at Manila amone the American col- ony there this summer. but the naval officers at that time char- acterized it as “idle gossip.” PR R R o= F-2-F-3-F-F-3-F-3 1 NOBLEMAN’S SON IN PRISON FOR MURDER The Slayer of an Aged Couple Falls Heir to a Large Estate in Scotiand. MONTREAL, Quebec, Nov. 22.—One of the half-forgotten histories of Canadian criminal annals, in which interest is just renewed, deals with the antecedents of Walter McWherrell, who is now serving a life sentence in Kingston Penitentlary for having killed an aged couple named Williams near Port Creit five years ago. Although captured and ultimately con- victed, the mystery of McWherrell's iden- tity was never really solved. Within the last few weeks a_woman glving_the name of Mrs. G. M. K. Tru- man, Mount Hope Cottage, Queen street, North Hamilton, began to intercede with the Minister of Justice for the pardon of McWherrell, who, she stated, was a rela- tive of hers and connected with a dis- tinguished family in the old country. Living among the poor and no better off herself, Mrs. Truman tells her Hamil- ton neighbors that she is Lady Kinnaird, the wife of the rightful heir of one of the greatest estates in Scotland, and that she obtains her title in virtue of being the duly wedded wife of Walter McWherrell, the condemned murderer, who, she claims, is the scapegrace son of a Scotch noble, and who ran away and joined the army and now, through the death of Lord Kin naird, becomes the heir to the title and estates.

POSITIONS IT WILL AFFECT THOUSANDS EXEMPTED FROM THE PRESENT RULES. Quite a Number of Openings in Various Departments Will Be Made in San Fran- cisco. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Cffice, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Nov. 22. It is said that by mext week President McKinley will have prepared and pro- mulgated his new civil service order, exempting many places from the opera- tion of that law. Nearly all of his time is now occupied in preparing his annual message to Congress and with State Department affairs, but his Cabinet secretaries are tabulating data for him and it was said to-day that the civil service proc- lamation would probably be ready for his signature within a week or ten days. Thousands of government positions placed under the civil service by Presi- dent Cleveland will be exempted and room made for faithful Republican party workers. This is a pleasant pros- pect for those anxious to enter Uncle Sam’s service, but is viewed with con- siderable apprehension by many who are now protected. Democratic officeholders are naturally most apprehensive, while the Repub- licans under civil service are reason- ably sure of holding on to their jobs, at least until the end of President Mc- Kinley's administration. Most of the changes will be made in the Treasury and Interior departments, but there will be some in the Postoffice and Agricultural departments. Thousands of pension office examin- ing surgeons will be exempted as well as deputy collectors of customs and in- ternal revenue. It is not definitely known which officers of these depart- ments will be exempted, but in general the proclamation will affect subordi- nates who handle money and for whose conduct of cash transactions their su- periors are responsible to Uncle Sam. Many collectors of customs and of in- ternal revenue have repeatedly repre- sented that these employes should be selected by themselves since collectors are responsible and liable for fiauciary acts. In many instances postmasters and collectors of customs and revenue have been held liable for shortages of deputies and cashiers, whereas, if men of their own selection and in whom they had confidence had served under them such would not have been the case. It is said that President McKinley was quick to see-the justice of this con- tention_and thaf his order will exempt these -subordinates-from ‘civil service rules. Though nothing defin'*~ is known, it is the general undeérstandin~ that his forthcoming o-der will e.abrace this class of employes. Thiy w1 affect California deputy col- lectors of internal revenue, pension examining surgeons, some employes of the Postoffice and perhaps deputy United States marshals. In the custo.1s service at San Fran- cisco the place of William Hamilton, cashier, may, and likely will, be ex- empted, as well as the auditor and chief clerk and others who by law are liable in an emergency to be made deputy collectors of customs.

EMPORIA, Kans., Nov. 22.—Since the sensational failure of the First Na- tional Bank, which was followed by the suicide of Charles S. Cross, presi- dent of the bank and owner of the cele- brated Sunnyside Stock farm, there have been rumors of a written confes- sion left behind by the suicide. This letter was made public to-night by ‘Willlam Martindale, vice-president of the bank, and has caused a sensation in Emporia, for it is an acknowledg- ment by the suicide that he had sys tematically deceived and defrauded, not only the patrons of his bank, but his business associates. The letter fol- lows: Emporia, Kans., May 12, 1898, 12 m. | I desire to state that the misfortunes of | myself and the bank have been caused through my faults and errors.

FATAL SHOOTING AT SANTA BARBARA | | Result of a Quarrel Between a Man | and Woman, Induced by Jealousy. | SANTA BARL.aRA, Nov. 22.—William | Sflva and Miss Jose Riuz were shot this | evening about 7 o'cleck. Silva was hit | just above the heart, the bullet lodging | in the back, and is expected to die at any | moment. i The woman is shot through the shoul- | der and has an ugly wound, but not nec- essarily a fatal one. Their stories are so | conflicting that it is puzzling the atthori- | | ties to place the crime on one or the other. | | His story is as follows: He and the woman were at supper and had just finished a bottle of beer, when in the course of conversation she accused | him of Keeping company with another woman. He denled it and she’ insisted | that she was right. Thereupon he jumped up and said he | would leave her. | She immediately arose, | picked up a cuspidore and threw it at him, | then snatched his pistol from his pocket | and as he faced about fired. He says he | ran out of the house, entered Dr. Beoes- eke's yard across the street, and fell on | the doorstep. He says that he had not | been drinking, although in the dining | room were several empty beer bottles. | She Is very hysterical and has not been | able to speak rationally. She repeatedly says: ‘“He shot me first.” The bullet entered her shoulder from the rear, mak- ing it almost impossible for her to have done it herself. he bullet was a 44 cali- ber and inflicted a very bad wound. Silva is a man of 28 years and for sev- eral years has been clerk in a cigar store. | His reputation has been that of a harm- less fellow, with not much principle. She lived with him for some time.
