Hon. A. Caminett! made a lengthy re- port on the matter of the dams referred to by Mr. Wright's committee. He spoke hopefully of the forthcoming report of the Govérnment engineers and stated that Major Heuer,who had charge of the work, indicated to him that the engineers would approve the recommendations of the Cali- fornia Debris Commission. He said: “The most sanguine friend of the rivers and the valley must certainly admit that in all justice and for the benefit of the lieved in hammering away for the Secre- | taryship, on the ground that Congress never gave more than the people asked of it. Congressman de Vries also addressed the convention, giving am outline of the work accomplished for the miners by the | California delegation to the National Legislature, Secretary E. H. Benjamin presented a report covering in an exhaustive manner the progress of the association and the work accomplished during the year. It shows that the organization is enjoying a degree of prosperity greater than it had ever experienced before. The statement of the treasurer, H. J.

M. Gleaves spoke on the subject of the conservation of flood waters. He ar- ued that the State should issue bonds or the construction of the necessary res- ervoirs. He was strongly opposed to waliting for national aid. “The Lord helps him who helps himself,” he said, “‘and if we do not do something in this important matter there is little probability of any- thing being done.” the convention to proceed with the great- est care and not to make any mistake in the matter. He did not believe it was possible for anything to be accomplished in the line indicated without the ald of the National Government. “The people who need water for irrigation and mining protection from floods,” he said. “Do not go by yourselves and throw cold water on this great national undertaking. An interesting paper on petroleum min- ing was read by A. cketts. At to- day’s meeting he will introduce a resolu- tion asking Congress to give the same rights to those prospecting for petroleum as is now accorded lode miners in running their tunnels. Resolutions were adopted indorsing all of the recommendations made by the va- rious committees; pledging ~unfaltering support to the Caminetti act; approving the plans of the Governor of Colorado for a miners’ convention to take up the mat- ter of a_Secretary of Mines and Mining; asking Congress to open Pyramid Lake and Walker Lake, Indian reservations, Nevada, situated in the mineral regions; indorsing a uniform system of mining laws, rules_and_regulations throughout e United States. e e leairman appointed the following committee to revise the association’s con- stitution and by-laws, to report at the ?.

Resounding the keynote struck by Judge Niles Searls, the California miners retrieved themselves last night. The ban- tion to the delegates from the Western States dispelled any insinuation that Cal- ifornia's boasted hospitality was a fable. Never were guests received with more heartiness or treated with more Iiber- | ality. The entertainment of the vlslwrs" took place at the Palace Hotel. Tables | were set in the banquet hall for three hundred. 1t was nearly 10 o’clock when the Californians and their guests began a discussion of the menu, and midnight Was not far away when the toastmaster, Hon. Jacob Neff, announced that the time had arrived for a littla food for thought. | Many happy sentiments were expressed by those who responded to the toasts. The welcome of California’s miners to the guests from her sister States was made complete. The banquet was an impromptu affair. Until yesterday morning it had not been dreamed of. The local delegates to the miners’ convention appreciated that some- thing should be done to give the visitors a taste of the hospitality for which the Golden State is famed. The banquet of last night was the result of that sug- gestlon. KING GEORGE OF FANAING ISLAND take DROPS I AGAIN =5 Iso a passenger.

A T e | represents Millionaire Hite, was on the other. Hardly had Judge Jones called the morning session when Attorney Church arose with his grievance engraved upon his countenance. On Thursday last, in the absence of Church, Attorney Foote made charges of attempted biackmail against Church. For three days the lat- | ter has been nursing his wrath and it burst on thé courtroom yesterday morn- | ing and nearly resulted in some sort of | a mixup. | Church’s denunciation of Foote bitter, insinuating that he was born on the “dark and bloody ground” and would | not lie dormant when his honor was as- | salled. John A. Wall, another attorney | representing the Indian woman, had also | been singed by Foote's charges and he entered his throaty forces in the charge | against the common enemy. From time | to time the court was called upon to force ! a speedly conclusion of the war-talk, but the tide could not be stemmed. Finally | V. Foote arose and half scornfully, was W. W half seriously threatened to exterminate the entire Oflpositlon. He said he was ready for them all or one at a time, whichever they ({)ref?rred and whichever way they wished to take their medicine. | The “strained relations continued | throughout the day. During the after- noon session, while Attorney Hanlon was examining John R. Hite, Foote objected to Hanlon’s method of questioning the witness. One word led to another, Foote concluding by softly remarking to Han- lon that there was enough bull-baiting goingon in the trial and that it had better e discontinued for the good of all or else something would happen. Later on Hanlon asked a t}uesnon of the witness to which Foote objected. Hanlon then arose and excitedly cried out that it was the most important thing in his life—the day on which the marriage license was obtained, Foote replied that if the case continued there would be some more important things “in the life of others of us,” re- ferring to himself, Hanlon and Van R. Paterson. _Again, the suggestion of powder and guns was in the air. Several important witnesses were put on the stand yesterday. In the afternoon John R. Hite was called by the plaintiff, who attempted to show that the license for the defendant to wed Cecilia Nouges was taken out October 11 or 12, 1897, and on the 13th, when the marriage was con- summated, Hite was not in a condition to know what he was dolnf. Much time was consumed in eliciting from Hite just what times he was present at the Indian Peak Ranch, but nothing positive was ob- tained except the acknowledgment of a visit in 1893. The witness who furnished the comedy part of the melodrama was John Fergu- #on, the keeper of a roadhouse near Hite's Cove, some thirteen miles from Mariposa. He lived in that part of the countr: knew Hite, the Indian woman and r ferred to her as Mrs. Hite, but in cross- examination he admitted that she was known by a number of men’s names. The attorneys for the plaintiffs tried to prove that Ferguson knew of the relations be- tween Hite and the so-called Mrs. Hite. Arthur Rudiers was put on the stand and he told of a visit paid him by F. W. Berlin with an_offer to compromise the case. Berlin offered $13,000, but Rodgers declared that $30,000 was the minimum fig- ure, with-an acknowledgment of wifehood for his client. He also admitted that money had been advanced by himself and Attorney Hanlon for the prosecution of the case. The action will be taken up at 10 o'clock ti Bouton Must Stay in Jail. George F. Curtls applied yesterday to the United States District Court for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Victor Bouton, the petition alleging that Bouton is restrained of his liberty by Chief of Police Lees, in deflance of law, under a warrant for grand larcemny issued by a Justice of the Peace of Humboldt County, Nevada. 5 Judge de Haven refused to issue the writ because it did not appear from the - sortment of goods: QUED and LACE EFFECTS. all widths.

MURDERER WINTERS TEMPORARILY SAVED WARDEN AULL'S DEATH SUS- PENDS THE EXECUTION. Harry Winters, under sentence of death, will have a few more days on earth be- fore his neck is submitted to the noose. He was to have been executed on next Friday at the State prison at Folsom, but the recent death of Warden Aull has de- layed that event. It will be remembered that on the night of November 17, 1897, Winters and a fel- low named C. H. Reynolds entered the Grand Hotel at South San Francisco, San Mateo County, and attempted to rob the landlord and guests. There was a sharp fight in which a number of shots were fired by the robbers and one bullet struck Charles A. Andrews with fatal results. The murderer escaped and was not cap- tured for a number of days. In time he was sentenced to pay the death penalty for his crime and Warden Aull was the State official who was directed to execute the sentence. Soon after Mr. Aull's death the Prison Directors met and. failed to select a suc- cessor to the late Warden. However, they appointed R. J. Murphy as deputy ‘Warden with powers to attend to the business and dutles of the Warden. Mur- phy was not sure as to whether this au- thority empowered him to execute the | sentence of death In Winters' case, and as the time set is next Friday he requested an opinion of the Attorney General.

One is that the prisoner may be re- moved to the court and resentenced, the execution to be held In_San Queéntin Prison by the Warden of that institution. The other is that the Governor may be induced to reprieve the prisoner until some certain date, and in the meantime the Prison Directors would appoint a regular Warden. In any event Winters will be allowed to live a few days longer. “TAILOR.MA New Seal Fur Jackets, tition that the imprisonment eveu in violation of the ::ounlv.u‘:ltm]l3 %‘;‘%‘; any law or treaty of the United States.
