Nisson, assistant engineer of the creek route ferry-boat Garden City, was killed by be- ing struck by the paddle wheel of the boat while making an inspection shortly after noon to-day. The Garden City was in the slip at the foot of Broadway, and Nisson chose that opportunity for making an examination | of the paddle wheel. He made his way into the paddle box and was looking over the wheel when the engine was started and the big wheel made a few revolutions. One of the paddles struck Nisson on the back of the head, nearly tearing his scalp off and fracturing his skull. The blow threw him into the water, from which he | was rescued by the crew of the boat. When taken out of the water he was barely alive, and died just as he was be- ing taken into the Receiving Hospital. Mr. Nisson was 60 vears of age and leaves a wife and two children—a son and a daughter. He had been cmployed on { the boats of the Southern Pacific Com- | i | | |REV. DR. B.

Mr. Mills also notified the society that he had made personal arrangements for an assistant minister in the person of the Rev. George Fuller of Spencer, Mass. The selection was approved by the board of trustees. Mr. Fuller will arrive about Easter and will immediately take up his work with Mr. Mills. He is a young man of considerable pulpit ability and is a graduate of Tufts College, Mass. ® STOGK BUSINESS 1T LOW EBD | | | AMES SCOBIE, a once prominent mining man and contractor of this city, died yesterday at 10:25 a. m. at his home at 8§74 Fell street, after a lingering illness, from which he had suffered for some months. Mr. Scobie leaves a widow, three nephews and a niece to mourn him. The deceased came to this country when a boy and began his career as a miner at the Cariboo mines, British Columbia. Later he followed the trade of a stone- mason and afterward became a contract- or for stone masonry work, principally for the Southern Pacific Company. He took a prominent part in the building of the California and Oregon system of that | company. | Through contracting and successful in-| vestments in real estate in this city Sco- bie accumulated a large fortune. He was a prominent member of the Masonic or- der, of the Scottish societies, and more articularly of the St. Andrew’s Society. e was prominently identified with va- rious churches and was known for his liberality toward religion and charity.

All the time of the day’s session previous to that hour will be devoted to brief speeches for and against the bill, the time to be divided be~ tween the supporters and the opponents of the bill. The opinion has been advanced that yesterday's episode between Senators Tillman and McLaurin might have the effect of causing a postponement of the time for taking the vote in order to per- mit Senators to speak who have desired to do so0, but there is no probability of any change of programme. The Senate regards a unanimous consent agreement as very sacred and never allows anything to in- terfere with it. According to the present programme, Prince Henry will be a witness of a part of the ceremony of taking the vote on the Philippine bill, and he will be allowed to observe it either from the floor of the Senate or from the gallery, as he may .

A friendly native informed Inspector Sorensen of this fact, and the capture of Cortez followed. Yew Insurgents remain in ‘the provinces of Batangas and Laguna, General J. Franklin Bell has accomplished his In- tended purpose of ridding this district or insurgents, though for the present the Civil Commission considers it inadvisable ;‘odde('l,are the provinces in question paci- ed. Large numbers of insurgents who have been driven from Batangas and Laguna bave joined the ladrones in the neighbor. ing province of Cavite, where the native constabulary is hounding them from place to place. General Trias, the present Gov- ernor of Cavite province, who formerly bitterly opposed the Americans in that district, has given proof of his friendli. ness. and is using every effort to run down and capture the Cavite ladrones. He is sending volunteer companies of bolomen to assist the constabulary in suppressing disorder. The natives of Cavite province, gmvoked at the continued disorder created v the ladrones, are spontaneously offer- ing themselves in large numbers to assist the authorities in maintaining peace in the province. The Civil Commission rec- ognizes this attitude to be largely due to the influence of General Trias. - MANILA, Feb. 23.—Acting Civil Gov- ernor Wriga, replying to a question ad- | L e e e e e e e i o STRIKE LEADERS STILLIN PRISON MADRID, Feb. 23.—A council of minis- ters is In session here to-night to discuss means tb maintain public order. The general situation is greatly im- proved. Several labor soclet{es here have declined to join in the strike. Official telegrams declare that order prevails ev- erywhere in the provinces. More troops have been drafted to Barcelona, but it is hoped that the worst of the trouble is over. The strikers at Barcelona have de- manded payment in full of their wages for the past week. The employers nave re. fused. these . demands, except in a few cases where they were acceded to in the hope of conciliating the men. Following the advice of the captain general, many factories at Barcelona have agreed to re- start their fires, though it is doubtful 1f the men will resume work. The refusal of the authorities to liberate the arrested strike leaders is causing resentment. Iso- lated riots are still reported. At Sarria, a village near Barcelona, some men were arrested for experiment- ing with explgsives. One of these men fired upon the {)ollce and a fight ensued, In which one policeman and one workman were killed and two men wounded. At Pedralbes two strikers were Kkilled in_a conflict with the police. EIl Liberal of Madrid publishes an inter~ view with the captain general of Barce. lona, in which he said he had toured the town and that he had been well received everywhere. He said he hoped the strik- ers would resume work Monday next, and characterized the Sarria affair as unim- rtant.

BERLIN, Feb. 23.—Various events dur- ing the past week occurred to dampen the | temper of the Boerse. The opinion of At- torney General Knox as to the legality of the Northern Securities Company merger gave speculators a warning of caution. | The semi-annual report of the Laura Company, one of the Jargest iron and coal companies in Germany, which shows over 2,000,000 marks of decreased earnings and actual loss in the iron departments, caused all iron shares to weaken. Coal shares also declined upon the growth of difficulties in the coal market and the ac- | cumulation of stock. | _The money situation, together with the | high rates for the London carry-over and the situation in Kaffirs, made a strong de- mand for English exchange, which is now near the gold point. The export of gold | to London js regarded as probable in a few days. Exchange on Paris is already 15 pfennigs above the gold point. The market showed little interest in American securities and no disposition to buy. FOLICE ARREST MAN FOR LOOTING SALOON Believe They Have Thief in Custody ‘Who Entered Tony Phillips’ Place. The police have a man in custody who will be charged with the burglary of Tony Phillips’ saloon, 2001 Baker street, last Wednesday night. Phillips reported the burglary to the police and after they had made an investigation they were Inclined to belleve that it was an “inside job,” and that the $1178 Phillips said he lost was still in his custody, but further investiga- tion strengthened 'his statement that he had been the victim of thieves. Detective Reynolds and Policeman Nel- son were detailed on the case and for three days have been trailing the man now under arrest. After satisfying them- ‘selves that they were on the track of the right man the detective and the policeman decided to take him into cus- tody. This they did last evening and in his effects found two sacks of coin which }hey say were taken from Phillips’ sa- oon, gress and the different departments of the Government will be reported to the Senate during the week, and probably will be taken up for action the next day after 1t is reported. o | On Thursday the Senafe will unite with the House in the ceremonies in honor of the memory of President McKiniey.
