CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—Despite the 20 miles which separated them and a score of interfering relatives and friends, Miss Lois Mal Webber, daughter of the | late Captain John Webber of Oakland, Cal., succeeded. to-day in reaching her flance .and becoming the wife. of Charles F. Dwyer, a son of Michael F. Dwyer, the famous turfman, and him- self .famous on two continents as a plunger in the betting ring.

Then a problem arose.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 18.—Represen- tative Law of Cache County, a Republi- can, to-day on the floor of the Joint ses- | sion of_the Legislature formally charged A. W. McCune (D.), a candidate for Sen- ator, with bribery. He said McCune had been hounding him for some time past with a view of obtaining his vote, but | that he had as often told him that he | would not vote for him. Then McCune held out to him the fact that he was a poor man; that he had a wife and family to support, and that it would be well worth his while to cast his vote for Mc- Cune and he could name his own price if he would do 0. On Friday afternoon, at the close of the joint session, McCune again approached Law and reiterated the proposition hith- erto made. Law told him that he would | see him on Saturday morning. He then | went to the Chief of Police and laid the | matter before that official, when plans were laid to catch McCune.

The nature of the country around | So It Is Expected That Otis Must Carry Out a Vigorous Cam- paign Against Aguinal- Men. Manila favors the tactics the natives seem to have adopted after learning that they could not face the American soldier in the open field, and it doubt- less will be General Otis’ task, just as soon as his reinforcements reach.him, to clear them away. Half a dozen na- tives concealed in the jungle and firing at long range at intervals could make life unbearable for a whole company of regular troops until they were dis- lodged. Military officers who have had experience in this kind of fighting say that men become panicky and lose their nerve under this treatment. That is, however, what they must expect, oc- cupying . the outposts and trenches miles outside of Manila during the rainy season, protecting the water works and strategic pointg unless a de- termined effort 'is made before the country becomes impassible owing to the rains to carry the war straight into the interior and chase Aguinaldo’s men beyond the range of activity. It is estimated that at the rate of progress now making by the transport Grant the 1800 troops on that ship will land at Manila about March 4. A couple of weeks later the Sherman will arrive with a similar number of troops, and two weeks after that the Sheridan is due with the troops now embarking at New York. Before the last of these troops reach Manila the dry season will have gotten well toward an end and only a few weeks will be left for active operations, so there is need for steady work in the preparation at all points in order to assure a fairly comfortable summer for our troops. A considera- tion that favors the termination of the struggle at an early date is that the latest reports indicate fairly that the insurgents areé becoming short of am- munition and with redoubled vigilance on the part of the naval forces around Luzon they may be brought to terms on this account as much as from any other.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The settle- ment of the obligations of the Central Pa- cific Railroad Company to the Government vas completed to-day, when United States Treasurer Roberts iven the notes of $,812,715. The notes are in number, payable semi-annually, | ch for $2,940, bearing interest | twenty and are e at 3 per cent. Internal revenue stamps to | the value of $11,762 54 were affixed to the . notes. Treasurer Roberts said he understood five of the notes would be taken up in & very Short time. The Government holds as security for the payment of the obligations its own 6 per cent bonds, which were issued in behaif of the construction of the Central Pacific, and these will be replaced in a short time by a new series of bonds to bear 4 per cent interest, which will aiso be a lien on the road. .The notes, which are dated *“San Fran- eisco, February 1, 1899, and signed by Isaac L. Requa, the president of the Cei tral Pacific Company, contain the provi- sion-that in case a default is made in the | payment of’ either principal or interest the entire series becomes at once due and payable. The honds, which will be given | as security for the notes, cover not. only | the Central Pacific road proper, on which the Government has a lien, but include | all of its branches and terminals, so that .the security is regarded as far in excess - of the lability. _NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—It was announced this .afternoon that of the twenty semi- annual notes drawn in settlement of the previous debt of the Central Pacific Rail- Toad Company to the Government, Speyer & Co. bought the first four falling due,. and the proceeds—about $12,000,000—were furned over to the Government, together with fhe other sixteen rote: . .

The bears were en- countered just within the city boundary on the high road to the heart of Van- couver. They were mad with hunger and were on a kind of dog trot. Sev- eral ranchers who saw them approach- ing and who were unarmed turned their horses’ heads and made with all speed back to the city. McKenzie and Helmer were not to be intimidated. They stood in the middle of the road and as the bears ap- proached on a swinging trot they opened fire. About fifty people watched them at a distance. The two young bears dropped in their tracks, mortally wounded. Before the Klondikers could reload old Bruin was almost upon them. They took to their heels, closely fol- lowed by the bear, which followed them into the city. It was a strange sight and one not often witnessed in a city of 25,000 in- habitants. Just when it appeared that the Klon- dikers were to make a meal for the bear a man with a rifle emerged from the brute to its knees. Another shot quickly dispatched it. The carcasses of the three bears were secured and brought to a meat market, where to-night they were viewed by hundreds. BUTCHER KLEIN IS IN WARLIKE MOOD SAN SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 18.—Chris Klein, the butcher whose slaughter house is alleged to offend the olfactory nerves of members of the San Rafael Golf'Club, has determined not to yield without a struggle, and by Attorney E. B. Marti- nelll to-day filed an answer to the com- plaint of Henry C. Campbell, in which every charge made in the petition for an injunction is depnled, The answer is made both for Klein and John Brauning, the owner of the land. Both defendants to the suit deny that the stream of water flowing from their land across the golf links ever has offal thrown into it; that it is used by the Plalnth‘l for domestic purposes, or that t is Dug enough to be used. It is af- firmed at the slaughter house is kept as clean as possible and that no odors contalning microbes emanate from it, while the claim of Campbell that re- peated requests have been made for the slaughter house to be moved is vigorous- ly_denied. Klein's answer further states that many thousands of dollars have been expended | in the improvement of his property, and that the suit tends to damage his busi- | ness. He asks that the action be dis- missed and that plaintiff pay the costs of suit, as well as attorneys’ fees. The case comes up in court next Monday. S COURT ACCUSED OF BIAS. NAPA, Feb. 18.—During the hearing of the application of ex-Sheriff George 8.

He c! ed the court with undue bias in favor of the defendant, declaring that he was, there- fore, incapacitated from afun fairly. For this rcason & change o jnfige was asked. The application was granted. Judge Buckles of Solano County will try the change of venue case at Napa on Monday. SUISUN, Feb. 18.—A motion will be made before Jud{e Buckles on Monday by Attorney Lamont for the removal of Jesse Walters to the Napa County jail to have an operation performed on his injured leg.

The rebels have ‘been south of the Pasig River, in front o Brigadier-General Ovenshine’'s lines on the right, all day long. The country in that vicinity is a particularly thick jun- gle, extending for miles. The scouts re. port that the rebels are probably coming from Laguna and Cavite provinces. The Americans are strongly entrenched from the beach to the Pasig. SHE WOULD THRASH ATTORNEY KEYES SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 18.—Miss Margaret Manning, who is being made the defend- ant in a suit for the possession of prop- erty deeded to her by her father, became nettled to-day at a question asked by Attorney J. W. Keyes while making a deposition before Notary Public T. P. Boyd, and threatened to horsewhip him if he did not show. her the consideration she claimed was her due. A sensational scene was prevented by the coolness of Keyes and Hepburn Wilkins, Miss Man-+ ning’s attorney. Andrew Manning died at Tomales. Shortly before his death he deeded prop- erty valued at §15,000 to his daughter Mar- garet. A brother, named Josegh, em- ployed by the Southern Pacific Company, has filed suit to have the deed annulled on the ground of fraud. The woman was required to make a deposition in the case to-day. A question in regard to an alleged transaction regBrdlnE the use to which was put caused her to spring to her feet and tragically threaten to thrash the lawyer. He remained cool, and the others present interceded in time to prevent fur- ther trouble.

Norman came to town about twelve years ago. Soon afterward he marrled Miss Grace Udell, a young lady who had property in her own right that was valued at about . Norman soon reduced his wife's property to a mortgage. He later became agent for the Santa Fe Railroad in Dixon. | About the first of December he boarded a | train here for San Francisco In a very much_intoxicated condition, and to this time has not been heard of by friend or relative. Those acquainted with the hab- its of Norman smile at the suggestion that he was the Vlcgm of foul play. He left his wife and three children to find thelr own subsistence.

LONDON, Feb. 18.—Telegrams from Washington reporting that the Anglo- American Commission is encountering serious head seas are followed here with much anxiety, as the opinion prevails here that the future of the Anglo- American entente largely depends on the success of the present negotiations. The Speaker voices the general feel- ing by saying that the news regarding the commission is very disquieting. “It is impossible,” the Speaker adds, “to say where the fault lies, but a failure to arrive at an understanding will be a serious blow to the hopes of both countries in regard to the future re- lationships. Perhaps the less we say about the matter while it is still in suspense the better it will be for the prospects of satisfactory settlement.” The Saturday Review, as usual, finds the United States is entirely responsible for the hitches in the negotiations. It says: “There are signs that we shall receive another object lesson very soon as to the real nature of the sudden great affection which America is said to have developed for England. The Anglo- American Commission has been strug- gling to arrive at an agreement, but the process has not thus far been charac- terized by an overwhelming desire on the part of America to deal generously with Canada. It will not be a surprise to those who know the character of the ‘Washington politician if the report that a failure is practically assured proves to be true.” The Saturday Review has another hasty comment with reference to the resolution of United States Senator Mc- Enery in regard to the Philippines, which the paper declares is mere time- serving for the Senate to pass. “This resolution,” the Review continues, “is simply the outcome of a maneuver to secure the necessary vote to adopt the Paris treaty of peace. The reputation of President McKinley's Government i¢ indeed likely to disappear altogether is view of the report of the War Offi maladministration. It is an astoundis® scandal to find officials who are respin- sible for the gross irregularities snd mismaragement of the war carefdlly whitewashed, while a plain-dealing S0l- dier like General Miles is discredited. The report, however, is a good sbject lesson to the people of England. it will show them how the bosses wock the machine, and how unscrupulovs, even when his own country is conceraed, the ‘Washington politician can become.” The scheme of Rear Admical Lord Charles Beresford for the séttiement of the Far Eastern question by the for- mation of a league to be composed of tle United States, Great Brtain, Ger- many and Japan, as cabled here from the Tlnited States, has not aroused en- thusiasm in Great Britain, The Spec- tator characterizes Beresford’s plan as “futile and needless ‘as it/is immoral.” It then proceeded to argue that neither of the powers mentionedis prepared to provide an army to resist a Russian in- vasion. / “On the contrary," says, “Great Britain would feel through a}l XBer veins that a Russian conquest of orthern China hsd indefinitely in- creased the Security 6f her Indian em- the Spectator fiscal year, the customs have shrunk £974,000, and the total income has di- minished £175,000, while the expendi- ture has increase by £4,750,000.
