MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 12.—The prosecu- tion in the Hamilton murder case rested to-day after introducing the sensational testimony of Officer Thomas J. Rooney, who testified that Hamilton said to him | when he was arrested: I am prepared to ! “T will go with you. take the consequences. Let the law take its course. I killed him, but I did it in | self-defense: This trouble is all on ac- count of a girl.” Hamilton listened to the statement with a perfectly impassive face. Rooney’s evi- dence related to the conversation with Hamilton on the way from the West Hotel to the police station. Every effort is_being made to have A. M. Barbee, the St. Louis traveling man, brought here to testify. His evidence is said to be of the highest importance to the defense. Hamilton, it is said, will take the stand and give his version of the fight that ended in Day’s death. After court adjourned there was an im- pulsive movement toward Hamilton—men vieing with women to shake his hand and utter the hope that he would be able to prove his innocence. : Given Heavy Sentemce.

One thousand tickets for the affair have been placed on sale at $§1 aplece and the money realized will go to start the bullding fund of the California Club. The California Club has come to occupy such a state of strength and importance in the community and its membership list is so large that the ladies realize the ne- cessity of having a clubhouse of their own. The whist section of the club has taken the initiative in the building fund matter and with the proceeds of the pro- posed whist and euchre party will lay the foundation of the fund that will make the California Clubhouse a possibility of the near future. A large committee of ladies is hard at work perfecting the plans for the im- mense party. It has been decided that the room is to be divided in two and one | side set apart for the whist players and the other for the devotees of euchre. There are to be twelve tables for each | game.

But his identity established as soon as he touched keys, and that, too, in despite of a lame suffering. ¢ Godowsky 1s only to be described in the superlative.

Walter R. Dinsmore, a young business | man of this city, and Mrs. N. H. Cone | were married yesterday at the Palace Hotel, where both of the happy couple | reside as guests.

The | happy couple left on the owl train for Los Angeles last evening and will spend their honeymoon in Southern California. Names Kingsbury Administrator. Judge Coffey made an order yesterday appointing George W. Kingsbury, lessee of the Lick House, administrator of the estate of Samuel Stephens, who died re- cently, leaving an estate valued at $40,000, Mr. Kingsbury was nominated by Eliza- beth Porter, decedent’s niece. The Public Administrator opposed the appointment of Kingsbury on the ground that Mrs. Porter, who came here from Virginia uhorllav before her uncle’'s death, was not | a resident of this State and hence was not Vested with power to nominate an admin- istrator. Mrs. Porter testified, however, that she intended living here permanently and had rented apartments. Judge Cof- fey held this showing to be sufficient and | K?’nxsbur{ was appointed. Judge Coffey's | decision in this case sustains that of Judge Troutt appointing Ella F. Murray as administratrix of estate of her mother, the late Elmira 8. Townsend. e L ‘Writ Against Commission. ' Judge Murasky issued a writ of man- date yesterday under the complaint of John F. Seyden against the Civil Service Commissioners and Tax Collector Scott. In his petition for the writ, which is re- turnable to-day, Seyden asks that the'de- fendants be compelled to reclassify the Any- | places of employment in the Tax Collec- tor's office and in future hold examina- tions which shall be practical in their character, the petitioner alleging that the last were not practical or even fair and imparial.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12—The Commer- cial Advertiser says to-day: “In acquiring control of the Southern Pacific Railroad the Harriman _syndicate also obtained control of the Morgan Steam- ship Line and the Pacific Mail Steamship Line. It did not, however, secure any | control over the Mexican International Railway nor of any of the property of the Pacific Improvement Company. “The Mexican International Company, which has about 700 miles of complete road, is the only non-subsidized road in | Mexico. This raflroad was built practi- cally under the supervision of Collis P. Huntington and it now belongs to the old Pacific Improvement Company, the stock of which is owned by the Huntington. Mark Hopkins, Stanford and Crocker | estates, It Is generally regarded as| the Mexican division of the Southern Pa- | cific system, but actually the Southern Pacific agreement has no control over the Mexican International Company. “It is likely that when the Pacific Im- provement Company winds up its affairs, Which will be done as soon as practicable, the railroad and mining properties owned by this company will be sold. Whether or not the Southern Pacific Company will acquire the Mexican road remains to be determined prevails that after awhils the Central Pacific lines will be taken out of the Southern Pacific system and made a part of the Union Pacific system. The Central Pacific, which extends from Og- den to San Francisco, a distance of 1354 miles, is essential to the Union Pacific's transcontinental system and its separa- tion from the Southern Pacific would still leave the latter a complete trans- continental system. Although both of these great systems are now under the control of the same group of capitalists, it is safe to say that each corporation will retain distinct traffic interests.” —_— PROMOTED BY PRESIDENT.

D. Woods, Represen- tative of the Second Congressional District of California, arrived from Washington, D. C., on the over- land train late Monday evening and is stopping at the Grand. The main reason for Congressman Woods' return to California is to endeavor to make all commercial bodies in the State send at once hearty Invitations to the Congressional Committee on Rivers and Harbors to pay a visit to California at the close of the present session. Mr., Woods is working hard - toward this end, and stated yesterday that the members of the committee had all signified their consent to pay a visit to California should they receive an assyrance that the.commercial bodies of the State .were anxious for them to_do so. “It world be of great benefit to Call- fornia,” sald Congressman Woods yester- day, “if the committee made a visit. to this State. The trouble in Congress is the want of knowledge of the need and neces- sities of California. Congress must be taught that the central point of the em- pire is the Pacific Coast, now that the Philippines and the Hawaifan Islands are American territory. “In presenting arguments for the neces- sity of an appropriation for improvements of rivers and harbors the committee needs an object lesson. I talked the matter over with members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, including the chairman, the Hon. T. E. Burton, and found they were all willing to come to California during the present epring. I want to see the in- vitations extended before the adjournment of Congress, which takes place March 3.” Sacramento has already sent an invita- tion to the committee: so has San Diego. The Hon. R. J. Waters from the Sixth District is now in Los Angeles and is tak- ing steps to see that an invitation is sent from that city. _To-day Congressman Woods will walt upon the San Francisco and the Oakland Chambers of Commerce and In detail ex- plain to both bodies the great value it will be to California to entertain the com- mittee out here. “It would be a wise move for Califor- nia to provide for the election of a Con- o+ CONGRESSMAN S.

WOODS OF THE SECOND DISTRICT, WHO IS NOW HERE. )2 R PR s S gressman at large instead of a reappor- tionment of the State into eight districts,™ said Mr. Woods. “This Congressman should be the dean of the delegation rep- resenting the tire territory of Califor- nia. Of necessity there are antagonistic interests existing_ between the Congres- sional districts. The placing of these in- terests in the hands of a Congressman at large would unionize the work. “If California wants to maintain influ- ence in_Congress she wiil have to do as other States do. by serding her Repre- sentatives back from term to term.
