His face is swollen out of shape and discolored till his nearest friends can hardly see a familiar look about it. One eye is shut and he can see but little out of the other. He is enduring all sorts of pain. His wife came down to-day from their home at the Central House and will remain here for the present. The wonder to those who claim to be familiar with the circumstances that led up to Sunda fracas is that Gail- braith did not go gunning for the gay yvoung lothario many months ago in- stead of simply warning him to keep away from his hearthstone. cers all agree that it is a scandalous affair, and intimate that if Somers is caught and brought to trial there will come to the surface a rare sensation. The question to-day is, is the fugitive still on the Washington Ridge, or has | he followed the example of Murderer Moore and fled the county? The ridge is an ideal hiding place for a criminal. It is three or more miles wide, extend- ing from Deer Creek to the South Yuba River, and is more than three times as long. Most of it is heavily timbered and there are innumerable almost bot- tomless canyons, deserted mining tun- nels and other places where a hunted man could rest secure from detection. There are not more than fifty or sev- enty-five people in the entire section, and they are too busy with their own affairs, such as mining, wood chopping and other peaceful pursuits, to bother their heads much in stalking offenders against the law. It would be easy for Somers to elude ghe officers by staying there. A report was circulated here to-day that Somers had sent word through his brother Tom that he would surrender if the Sheriff Getchell have heard anything In fact, Tom freely expresses the opinion that his wayward young kinsman has already reached the limit of “indiscretion,” and that the best thing he can do is to give himself up and face the music. The Somers boys used to live on ‘Water street in this city. Their parents died when they were young and they were sent to the Orphan Asylum “at Grass Valley, where they remained for some time.

S DUKE OF NORFOLK' PRESIDED — ARCHBISHOP IRELAND ON ENG- LISH-AMERICAN RELATIONS. PR Thinks the Two Countries Will Come Closer Together — Thanks for English Toleration of Roman Catholics. i Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, June 21.—The Duke of Nor- folk, Premler Duke, hereditary Marshal and Chief Butler of England, presided to- day at a special meeting of the Catholic Union Society of Great Britain, convened to hear an address by Archbishop Ireland. Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and® all the Catholic nobility in London were present. A letter was read from Cardinal Vaughan, Archbishop of Westminster, expressing the hope that the Catholic Church in England would become more closely al- lied to the Cathollics of the United States. He referred to the generosity of the American people when he founded the Catholic mission at Millhill; and said that America first received missionaries from | here to the negro race. The future, in his judgment, seemed to indicate even a more intimate friendship between the two na- tions than had existed in the past. Archbishop Ireland expressed his pleasure at having an opportunity to ad- some of the greatest hereditary of England who had distinguished in science, art and literature. granted by England to Roman m would, he believed, greatly influence the nations of the world, who would imitate her action in this question; and her example would thus be the means of extending the church of Rome through- | out the world. Referring to_the cordial relations be- tween Great Britain and the States, the Archbishop sald he hoped this friendship would increase as the years passed—a_sentiment wh received | with hearty cheers. Bishop Thomas O. Gorman of Sioux Falls and the Bishop of Emmaus, Palestine, were among those who listened to the address. MRS. LEIBBRANDT DID ALL THE PROPOSING | of Jean Sorg in the Breach of Promise Suit. JOSE, June 27.—The taking of tes- | timony was completed to-day in the $50,- 000 breach of promise suit of Mrs. Bertha Leibbrandt, the Santa Cruz widow, who demands this sum from Jean Sorg, the Arizona miner, who, she claims, failed to keep his promise of marriage. Mrs. Leibbrandt was cross-examined this morning. She stuck to her story i | sanN that Sorg had preposed marriage and she | accepted. Also that she began to dispos of her personal effects in order to carry | out her part of the contract. Mrs, Elizabeth Wencks. testified Mrs. Liebbrandt told her Sorg had prom- ised to marry her. E. L. Wencks, Mrs. Wencks' husband, gave simjlar testimony. ) Bankley and Mrs. M. gave testimony along the same i Mrs. W. Pierucques was the first ness called for defense. She knew Mrs Leibbrandt well. The plaintiff had told her Sorg had asked her to live with him as his wife, but she had never heard her say Sorg proposed to her. Jean Sorg, the defendant, was the next witness. He did not use very good En- glish and his funny answers provoked much merriment. He admitted he had spent much of his time In Santa Cruz Leibbrandt's company, but had widow. On the never proposed to the she aske her. He contradicted Mrs. Leibbrandt's statement that there had been any improper relations between them. Witness stated he was married last October in San Francisco and had a grown son and daught(: by a former wife. He told plaintiff repeatedly that he did not wish to marry her, but she kept on proposing and seemed determined to have him. e pitied the woman and sev- eral times gave her sums of money be- cause she was kind to him. He was go- ing to take up a mortgage for her at one time, but on investigation found it was not a safe investment. After he left San- ta Cruz she wrote to him for money, but he paid no attention to the letters. She also came to San Jose and demanded money from him and threatened to sue for breach of promise if he ref .

WASHINGTON, June 27.—The negotia- tions for a modus vivendi regulating the Alaskan boundary have fallen into a state that jeopardizes a successful out- come and causes apprehension among of- ficials. Nothing ,has been heard from Embassador Choate as to the results of the conference he had to-day with Lord Salisbury on this subject, but the last ha of the case was that the Cana- ians had come back with a counter pro- posal in place of accepting the definite American _proposition, which had been drawn with the sole purpose of preventing any future controversy over the points already agreed upon between Choate and Lord Salisbury. Instead of following the lines of the American proposal and confining the counter proposal to a plain statement of the points already roughly indicated as marking the boundary, this last issue pro- posed a radical change in the line on the Dalton trail and was of a character wholly unacceptable to the American side, involving as it did the transfer into Ca- nadian jurisdiction of the fortunes and claims of many American miners. Un- less there is a decided abatement on one side or the other of the demands the de- sired modus will be as unlikely of attain- ment as was the permanent agreement on the boundary question and the charces in fact, every day to marry omply. Thereupon defendant refused | for a reassembling of the joint high com- mission will fade away entirely. S e AMERICAN IMPERIALISM. It Will Be Discussed at the Annual Pacific Grove Gathering. PACIFIC GROVE, June 27.—The reg- ular annual midsummer reunion of pro- fessional and literary men of the Pa- cific Coast will open at this place July 4, continuing through to the 7th. The reunion is a yearly gathering of public men for the purpose of discuss- ing in a semi-formal way vital ques- tions of the day. This year the genera theme will be “American Imperialism, subdivided into four speclal subjects— “Greater America,” “The Hawalian An- nex,” “the Philippine Annex” and “The | Porto Rican Annex"—a day being de- voted to each subject. George Clifford, president of the Pa- cific Grove Retreat Association, will preside, and the questions will be dis« cussed from all standpoints by eminent Pacific Coast thinkers.

VICTORIA, B. C., June News was brought by the steamer Empress of China of the tragic death of Andrew Marks, a San Francisco man who went to Manila on one of the transports sail- ing out of the Golden Gate, and the Ma- nila woman who but seven days before the tragedy he made his wife. Marks, who was 41 years of age, made a living as a cook to the army officers, but in company with a Filipino woman, to whom he was married, he deserted them last May and went to Hongkong. On arriving at Hongkong he estab- lished a restaurant, he being the cook and his wife, whose maiden name was Tairade, the waitress. On May 27, seven days after the wedding, o they quarreled, and the woman left Marks and took refuge in the house of a coun- tryman of hers. When Marks discov- ered her flight he followed and traced her to the house of a Filinino. The owner of the house was not in, a Chi- nese servant being in charge of the place. Marks pushed his way past him and went upstairs. He found his wife lying on the floor of one_of the rooms, and seizing her by the hair he vanked her to her feet. Then drawing a revolver he put a bul- let through her heart and another into her brain. Then turning the revolver on himself he placed it behind his ear and almost blew the top of his head off. He fell dead across the lifeless body of his Filipino wife. Letters from Consul Wildman and the marriage li- cense were found in Marks’ pocket.
