NO TRACE OF THE ANDRADA. Revenue Cutter firry Reports Its Quest Fruitless. SEATTLE, Jan. 15.—The United States rived in port last night after a fruitless search up the coast from the mouth of the Columbia for the missing ship Andrada. The Perry salled again this afternoon to cruise southward and resume her quest. The Andrada was last heard of on De- cember 11 She was then lying outside the Columbia River bar, waiting for a chance to cross in. On that day she took aboard Captain Cordiner, the pilot. This was the last ever heard of the vessel, with the exception of one story brought into San Francisco by the schooner Bertha ship much like the Andrada. A week ago the Perry left Astoria and put to sea in search of the Andrada. Cap- ain Kilgore says that the weather along the coast is still very severe and that a number of ships which were taken down the straits put back rather than face the storm. The Sight and Light was towed down last Thursday and came back and anchored in Crescent harbor, where she was still lying Saturday. — - OVERDUE SHIP IS Cape Wrath on Which Fifty-Five Per Cent Reinsurance Was Of- fered, Is Safe.

The incident was un- witnessed save by the three persons named, because it occurred in a narrow passageway leading from the lower right side boxes to a private entrance to the stage. The attack of the angered wife was the culmination of her rising wrath, which reached bolling point because of Richard’s evident attentions to the pretty blonde from Montana, who was occupying On the opposite side of the proscenfum was Mrs. Golden, ensconced in another box, and she watoh- ed and watched until her husband’s “‘goo- goo” actions aroused her fury. Deliberately walking over to the nar- row alleyway Mrs. Golden found her hus- band, in his stage make-up, in busy con- verse with the fair haired beauty. He had taken advantage of a few moments off the stage to call upon the box occupant, who seemed nothing loth to receive the flattering attentions from the actor. But the little tete-a-tete was rudely interrupt- ed with the appearance of Mrs, Golden, who demanded explanations. There were some angry words from the husband, a an then the maddened wife slapped Miss Healy squarely upon her fair countenance. The play was progressing, but the dis- turbance, which could be plainly heard, | though not seen, distracted audience and | actors. Attendants of the theater, with Manager Rodolph of the company, inter- then the trio of combatants were hustled behind the wings. As soon as the curtain dropped on the last act the war was resumed on the stage. Mrs. Golden and Miss Healy met and _explanations were attempted. Manager Rodolph tried but when the end came the exasperated wife went back to San Francisco and Golden ordered her discharged from the company. Miss Healy disappeared, and it is reported has one to San Francisco to await the blow- ng over of the storm. Golden professes to have been much abused, but Mrs. Golden iInsists that she had great provocation for her dct that was not in the lines of “Old Jed Prouty.” She had not been playing with the com- pany for two weeks because of iliness, for Which she was under treatment at the Waldeck _Sanatorium, across the bay. Mrs. Golden explained to-day that she had heard stories of her husband's con- duct, which came with such frequency H 3 PRINCIPALS IN THE LATEST THEATRICAL SCANDAL, IN WHICH AN ACTOR'S JEALOUS WIFE ATTACKS IN ORIGINAL BOXER FASHION A MILLIONAIRE'S BLONDE DAUGHTER. that in spite of physiclans’ injunctions she hied to Oakland last night ugnn an investigating tour and entered the box unknown to her husband. The angered wife confesses she now regrets that which followed because of the unpleasant no- toriety involved. The young woman who enraged Mrs. Golden is sald to have become acquainted with Golden at Chicago and to have fol- lowed the fortunes of *‘Old Jed Prouty” across the continent. The Goldens, Miss Healy and some of her relatives were ap- parently on good terms in the Northwest, for only a few weeks ago they were on a yachting parfy together. On the trip to California Miss Healy ac- companied the nrsfl.nllntlon. Mrs. Golden was taken ill and retired to the sanato- rium. Then came the repeated tales that caused her to leave her sickbed. Mrs. Golden says she intended to rejoin the company at Sacramento, but she does not propose now to again glny with her husband. She proclaimed that he had no b g authority to discharge her—that she had the same interest in the play as himself. Golden had little to say about the af- fair other than to declare that his wife had acted under a misapprehension con- cerning his conduct last evening. The audience, however, w. nonplused dur- ing the performance by Golden's harangue to them in the midst of the third act. It bore upon nothing in particular and was delivered at much length. Golden was the divorced husband of Dora Wyley, an opera bouffe star, when he met Katherine Kittleman seven years ago, and they were married. She Is from Detroit, Mich. Before thelr marriage Mrs. Golden had been playing the leading fe- male role in the production, which Golden has had on the stage about ten years. Mr. Golden's part was played to-night by an_understudy. Announcement was made from the Macdonough Theater stage | that the leading man was too much over- come by last night's episode to properly present the character. B e e e e e e e e e s CUSTOMS LAWS - DID NOT APPLY Mere Annexation of Hawaii Did Not Abrogate Exist- ing Legislation WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Solicitor Gen- eral Richards to-day made reply to Mr. Smith’s argument in the Hawallan insular case, now belng heard before the United States Supreme Court. In this case, he said, it was obviously the Intention of Congress, as soon as practicable, to treat the territory as part of the United States for legislative purposes, so that the rev- enue and commercial laws which apply in the United States should operate there. “But,” he went on, “before these laws could be put in operation in the Hawailan Islands it was necessary that a period of preparation should intervene after the passage of the resolution of annexation. On July 7, 1898, when the main resolution was passed, there were no customs laws of the United States in operation in Ha- wall and no customs of the United States | there. The customs laws of the republic of Hawail were In force, and they were | It is | the only laws of that character. obvious, therefore, that if the resolution of annexation immediately abrogated the | customs laws of the islands the terri- tory would have been left without any customs law, open to the ships of the world. The customs laws of the United States could not have effective operation because there were no agencies there to | enforce ‘them. If, then, the resolution of annexation threw open the ports of Ha- waii to the world at the same time, ac- cording to the contention of opposing counsel, it threw open the ports of the United States to ships coming from Ha- wall. The effect of this would have been to give an open'door throush Hawailan ports into ours. e could not inquire, when goods came into the United States from Hawall, whether they had been brought into* Hawali as an entry port to the United States.” Mr. Richards argued that this gort of thing ceuld not be permitted, and he ex- g:”"d the opinion that if Congress had lieved that such a consequence would ensue the resolution of annexation would not have passed when it did. nor until arrangements could have been made to put in operation our customs and com- merce regulations immediately. So far as customs matters are concerned evidently the islands were not to be deemed part of ...e United States for customs purposes until Congress could further legislate in the matter by a law extending the United States customs laws and regulauons to the islands. He called attention to the act of annexation, saying that it did not make the Hawaiian Islands a part of the Unitea States, vut a part of the territory of the United States. “It 18, he said, to the United States becomes a part of the territory of the United States, but it does not become a part of the United States in either a constitutional or legi lative sense until Congress shall so deter- mine.” In conclusion, Mr. Richards said: “In the annexation resolution it was express- 1y provided that the customs regulations of the republic of Hawaii should continue until Congress should extend the customs laws of the United States to the islands. It was not until the passage of the act of April 30, 1900, that the {slands became a part of the United States for customs purposes by the extension of our laws to them.” Costello Will Claim Office. Judge Daingerfield gained twenty-one votes yesterday in his contest to the elec- tion of Judge Thomas F. Graham, whicn increases his lead tc thirty-nine votes. Judge. Murasky has thrown out many hundred votes cast for the contestants, until now each is credited with a smaller number of votes than were credited (o Stephen V. Costello by the Election Com- mission. This fact wlil be the basis of a motion by Costello at the end of the re- count for an order deciaring him the duly elected candidate. An intricate question of law will hence be raised for the cour to unravel. The recount goes on again to-day. —_—————————— Futile Attempt to Qust Mead.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 16.—The fourth an- nual convention of the National Livestock Association has been in session all day and falr progress was made toward the transaction of the business to come before the convention. When the delegates were called to order at 10:30 this morning in the assembly. hall | the building was crowded to its fullest capacity. During the assembling of the delegates music was furnished by the Col- crado cowboy band. After the invocation by Bishop Orson F. Whitney the chair- man introduced Governor Heber M. Wells, who delivered an address of welcome on the part-of the State. He was followed by Acting Mayor Buckle, who welcomed the delegates to the city. A response was made by R. M. Allen of Nebraska. A telegram was recelved from Vice President-elect Rovsevelt, sending ‘“‘con- gratulations and best wishes to the boys.” Phe delegates were slow in arriving for the afternoon session, and it was 2:15 be- fore the call for order was made. The first business was a call of the States for five-minute addresses by delegates regard- ing the condition of the livestock indust in their respective States. Under this cail addresses were made by H. W. McAffee of Kansas, H. H. Hinds of Michigan, C. J. Miller of Oregon, E. H. Callister of Utah, D. N. Stickney of Wyoming, E. A. Harris_of Towa, J.

AND 18, WHOM LOVE GROWN COLD DROVE TO A POISON VIAL AND A SUICIDE'S GRAVE NEAR THE — EARING the threatened venge- ance of John Bell, brother of the girl he had wronged, Robert Blum, who is said to be the man whose changed demeanor toward Florence Bell drove her to suicide, is thought to have fled. Inquiry at his late residence, 2500 Greenwich street, last night revealed the fact that, contrary to his usual custom, he had not put in an ap- peararce there the entire day, nor up to a late hour was there any sign of him. In the quartermaster’s department at the Presidio, where he was employed as plumber, nothing had been seen of him and it is thought that he has sought ref- uge In some other part of the State from the family of Florence Bell. On Monday night Florence, an unusually beautiful girl of 18, walked into kitchen of Mrs. Sere’s milk ranch near the Five-mile House, and having told her brother that the man she loved had “‘gone back on her,” fell dead at his feet. Subse- quent_investigation at the Morgue re- vealed that she had taken carbolic acid to SUBMITTING CIVIL SERVICE SUITS Validity of Some Important Sections of Charter Questioned. -— The three suits brought to test the con- stitutionality and Itgality of the pro- visions of the charter pertaining to civil service were argued yesterday before the Supreme Court, sitting in bank. At the conclusion of the argument the cases were taken under advisement. It is expected that a decision will be shortly handed down, as the matters involved in the cases revent the Civil Service Commissioners office. The Commissioners are at present clerks and deputies in several depart- ments of the government. Until such time as the Supreme Court passes on the ques- tion of the constitutionality of the pro- visions of the charter relating to these departments, the offices will be filled with employes who have been appointed by the heads of the departments involved. The first case argued was that of Crow- ley vs. Freud, in which Judge Hebbard decided against the defendant, who a member of the commission. The su: was brought by Crowley, suing as a tax payer to restrain the Auditor and Treas- urer from paying the sa.aries of the Com- missioners on the ground that the com- mission is an illegally constituted body. The point Involved is that certain offices in the municipal government come under the provisions of the county government act and as such are not bound and re stricted by the provisions of the charte: City and County Attorney Lane and Gar- ret McEnerney appeared for the appel- lants and John Garber and Isaac Frohman for Crowley. The other two suits. Cahen vs. Wells and Bauer vs. Quinn, attack the validity and constitutionality of all of the pro- visions of the charter relating to civil service. P. F. Dunne, who represented the contestants against Auditor Wells and Commissioner Quinn argued that the rovisions of section 12 of the article re- fating to civil service were in violation of | the constitution. . City Attorney Lane and Attorney Me- Enerney took a broader view of the case and argued that if the section complained of was invalid there was no law to show that the whole article of the charter re- | lating to civil service must neceasarily fall. They denied that the comstitution was violated either in the spirit or letter of the law as lald down by the charter. S PROVISIONAL BATTALION MAKES FINE APPEARANCE First Review of the Recruits of Model Camp Provocative of Great Applause.

She had questioned Mrs. Sere about it, and Mrs. Sere had told her that they could never marry while Blum's wife lived.
