Two cannons, relics of the Sapnish war, found a resting place on the port bow of the steamer, while Cannon, the fat man, was located in the forward stateroom on the starboard side. This kind of evened up things, and when the elephant came along there was little or no trouble. The elephant is known as the “Prin- cess.” and twoattemptshave been made to send her to Stockton.

JACKSON, June 25.—A miner named Hamby, 70 years old, stabbed a fellow miner, Fred Butcher, eleven times with a miners' candlestick at the Gwin mine last night. Both men worked at the Gwin and ascended the shaft together at the change of shift. The quarrel arose over an old coat which Butcher was wearing. Hamby sald it belonged to him. Butcher told him to take it if it was his. Hamby, it is said, wanted him to pay him the rice of a new_one, which Butcher re- }ussd to do. Reaching the top of the shaft, Hamby struck at Butcher first with a dinner bucket, afterward using a miner's candlestick, with which he in. flicted eleven distinct wounds, mostly about the breast and abdomen. Ons wound penetrated the abdominal cavity and another pierced his lung. Dr. Endicott of Jackson attended Butcher. He thinks the chances are fa- vorable for recovery. Hamby is an old resident of Mokelumne Hill, where he has a family. He is said to be esaily pro- voked and dangerous when excited. He was arrested and taken to San Andreas. ———e FIREBUG AT WORK. Attempt Made to Destroy the Town of Mokelumne Hill. ANGELS CAMP, June 2.—An attempt was made to fire the town of Mokelumne Hill last Thursday night, but the vigil- ance of John Albright, who was sitting up with a sick friend, frustrated the scheme before the fire was well started. He had returned to his room to get an overcoat when a bright light attracted his attention. On_ investigation he found a candle propped up against a pitchpine board and the whole contrivance covered with lard, The board had already caught and in a few minutes the whole neighbor- hood would have been a mass of flame, There is o clew to the fire fiend. st e o] LEWIS DEFEATS WOOD.

J. Bryan returned at noon to-day from his Wis- consin fishing trip and his later visit to Chicago. He will remain in Lincoln until after the Democratic National Conven- tion. He said he had been placed in a wrong position by some one who had pre- sumed to outline his plan of campaign and dictated the following; “Any statements made by anybody in regard to my campaign plans are with- out foundation or authority. No plans have been made by me or any one for me, and no plans will be made until after the convention has been held.”” Mr. Bryan was asked whether he could say anything in regard to the platform to be adopted at Kansas City. He re- pligd: “No one, of course, can say what lan guage will be used in setting forth th party principles. But some idea can be obtained as to the general tener of the platform from the platform adopted in the State conventions. As a large ma- jority of the delegates have been elected by conventions which reaffirmed the Chi~ cago_platform, it is safe to assume that the Kansas City platform will reaflirm the Chicago platform and will contain nothing which can be construed as a sur- render or modification of that platform on the old issues. “It is equally certain that there will be a strong and definite plank against the trusts. There is also no doubt that the plank against lmperialism will be clear and explicit. Militarism will be de- nounced and sympathy expressed for the Boers. This much is evident from what has already taken place.” “You have refused to discuss the Vice Presidency heretofore, Mr. Bryan. Is there any truth in the rumors that a Vice President will be chosen whose views on those who opposed the ticket In 189 “It is true that I have refused to dis- cuss the Vice Presidency,” replied Mr. Bryan, “and I don't care to do so now, further than to say that I assume that the candidate nominated for Vice Presi- dent will be in harmony with the plat- form. The Vice President not only pre- sides over the Senate while the President is alive, but assumes the office of Pres- ident in case of the President's death, and it is hardly probable that the dele- gates to a nutional convention would write a platform and then select for eith- er place on a ticket a man who would repudiate the platform. “No man worthy to b be considered for such an office would accept a nomination upon a platform repugnant to his views on any important issue. In every cam- paign men support a ticket without ap- groving all of the platform, but none can efend a platform unless he believes in it. Many_ tariff reform gold mocrats sup- ported the Republican ticket four years ago, although they dissented from the protection plank. ~ But the Re})ubllcan convention would not have nominated a tariff reformer upon a protection plat- form. There Is sometimes a joint debate between candidates on opposing tickets, :y.u; r{o; between candidates on the same cket.” COMMITTEEMEN NAMED BY ALDEN ANDERSON SACRAMEN?TO, June %.—Al Lindley, secretary of the State League of Repub- lican Clubs, to-day received from Alden Anderson, president of the organization, his list of committees appointed as per in- structions from the State convention of Republican Clubs which recently met at Los Angeles.

Special Dispatch to The Call. WOODLAND, June %.—Judge Gaddis to-day rendered a lengthy decision in the Johns estate case, sustaining the validity of the $10,000 note, which, for nearly three weeks, has been the source of sensational litigation. G. W. Johns died on the 25th of Novem- ber, 1898. He left a large and valuable es- te, most of which Is in Colusa County. By the terms of the will Elizabeth J | Gregory and Polly Ann Friel, his two daughters, and the Allen brothers, son. of a deceased daughter, were the heirs. Elizabeth J. Gregory and her son, George W. Gregory, were named as exec- utors without bonds. Several months after the death of Johns George W. Gregory presented a note for $10,000, purported to have been executed by Johns in favor of George W. Gregory and his sister, Mary Gregory. The other executor allowed the claim and the court approved. Mrs. Friel and Tandy Allen filed a peti- tion for the suspension of the powers of the executors, alleging that the note was a forgery. ‘When this petition was heard a great mass of testimony was heard.

Postmaster General Smith would not say whether former Director Rathbone would be arrested for any connec- tion he may have had wit. existing conditions in_the Cuban postal depart- ment. The determination of that ques- tion, he sald, would be left entirely with General Wood, the Military Governor of the island, who would be guided by the developments shown by the Investigation concluded by Mr. Bristow. Mr. th- bone, Mr. Smith said, would not leave the island, as he would be wanted as a wit- ness in the cases of the other officlals :;.gnlndst whom charges have been pre- erred.

SAN RAFAEL, June 2.—Judge Angel- lotti in the Superior Court this morning gave a decision in the mandate proceed- ing brought by Charles E. Ames against the Town Trustees of Sausalito to com- pel them to issue him a pool sélling li- cense. In his decision Judge Angellotti held that pool selllng was against public morals, and that those who wished to engage in the so-called business could ex- gect no aid from the law. In his decision e cited many cases where the courts had held betting and pool selling to be contrary to public morals. The decision was given on the broader ground. The court seemed to doubt that the ito ordinance was valid, but said that the question could not be considered in the present case. The demurrer of the Town Trustees was sustained and Ames’ application for a Writ of mandate was denled. Henry C. McPike, attorney for Ames, seemed pleased with the decision, al- though against him, and said: “‘Mr Ames will probably start his poolrooms in Sausalito. If a fight Is e agalnst him by the other pool sellers, they will simply be closing their own doors.” It is unlikely that Ames will ask for the consent of the Trustees, but will trust to his ablility to prove the ordinance un- constitutional. If the %)ol sellers fight Sausalito may lose the business. —_— MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED. Body of a Young Woman Found in the River Near Isleton.
