China | claims that the pPotocol stipulates that payment should be made of 450,000,000 taels in silver, regardless of the rate of ex- change. The construction put upon the protocal by the foreign Ministers is that China shall pay in gold or silver the équivalent of gold at the ume of payment. The Steady fall in silver since the protocol was signed has imposed great hurdship upon China | ir Ernest Satow, the British Minister, recently consented to a provisional div sion of the installments already paid, on the basis of a pro_rata reduction. In the meantime United States Minister Conger had recelved instructions to reduce the ciaim of the United States by 3L(J..000, which complicates the question, and it thought that the United States, in view | of Great Britain's compromise, will with- draw the offer of a reducu.on. The Dowager Empress has issued an edict censuring Yuan Shai Kai, director general of the Peking-Shanhaikwan Rail- way, and Director of Raliways Hu Yu Fen for signing the railroad agreements aud ordering the Board of Punishment to | prescribe suitable penalties for the of- fense. Officials say the Russian repre- sentations that gave the British control of the railway at the expense of China's interests caused the edict. The prestige | of Yuan Shal Kai and Hu Yu Fen is like- | Iy to be Seriously affected. [ | “Among the Chinese it is believed that. | Great Britain will consent to modify the | first railway agreement by waiving the | ! provision for military directors. | LODGE AND ASSEMBLY CLOSE THEIR LABORS | The Grand Lodge of the Independent | | Order of 0dd Fellows and the California | Assembly of Rebekahs closed the work of | their respective bodles yesterday after- ncon.

Ellis, an American citi- zen. The vessel had been flying the Ger- man flag, but being wrecked outside of | the jurisdiction of any nation, she came into port an orphan without national fa- ther or mother. Mr. Ellis made certain repairs and fitted her for sea and applied | | for American registry, which would entitle her to float the American flag at her masthead and be eligible for enrollment in the coasting trade between Hawall, the Philippines and Pacific Coast ports of the United States, but the application was not granted. A dispatch recelved yesterday by Customs Collector Stratton from E. T. Chamberlain, Commissioner of Naviga- tion, announced that the ship had been granted American registry for her voyage to her home port, but would not be al- lowed to engage in any coastwise trade, nor to receive any subsidy or other aid from the Government. i This action of the Commissioner of Nav- | igation guarantees to the Gildemeister the protection of the American flag on her voyage to her home port.

Marsellis Is Found Fatally Injured at Her Home After a|Givic Federation Secre- Battle There in Which It Is Known Her Husband and “Jeff’ Lewis Were Engaged---Autopsy Shows Many Superficial Bruises and Internal Hurts + ERKELEY, May 17.—Clouded in deepest mystery Is the death of Mrs. Caroline W. Marselils, who | was aged 26 years, and was the wife of Hanlan Marsellls. Her bruised and beaten body lies at the Mdrgue, giving testimony to violence which the physicians say is of recent oc- currence. Mrs. Marsellls died at her home on San Pablo avenue and Virginia street, at the edge of Wildcat Creek, last night. Dr. Charles F. Gladding, who was called to attend the woman, refused to sign a death certificate because of the suspiclous cir- cumstances surrounding the death. The Coroner took charge. Under the Investi- gations to-day of Autopsy Surgeons Dr. Frank Payne and Dr. H. N. Rowell, there was uncovered enough evidence to war- rant the accusation of murder being lodged. But who committed what ap- pears to have been a brutal crime Is as yet not disclosed. Wound about this mysterious death is | the story of an unhapyy domestic life, the intrusion of one “Jeft'”” Lewls, and a culmination last Sunday night of a three-cornered battle at the Marsellis home, in which the husband Lewls, with Mrs. Marsellis a third party, were engaged. There is the testimony at to-night's in- quest of Mrs. Katie Keller, the dead woman’s sister, who heard during the fight a sound as if her sister screamed. It was a strangled scream, as if she had been choked. Mrs. Keller was lying sick in a front room of the house. . SURGEONS’ DISCOVERIES. The surgeons found externally a deep, fresh bruise on the breast, bruises and contusions on the right hip and more brulses on the legs—injuries which could not have been caused by a fall, but were the result of blows, the surgeons said. | Then there was a fatal rupture in the abdominal region, which, they declared to Coroner Mehrmann, was caused by di- rect violence. The member injured, the hepatic_artery, is so situated anatomi- caily, they explained, that it could only have been fractured by direct violence— 4 kick from a foot incased in a heavy boot, perhaps. And there is a story about that. Dr. Charles F. Gladding recelved a deathbed statement from rs. Marsellls which would throw much light upon the strange case. But Dr. Gladding was not present at the inquest this evening, although the Coroner had =subpenaed the absent doctor. The Coroner sald: Dr. Gladding told_me that he had received a statement from Mrs. Marsellls before her death as to the cause of her injury. He is not present and 1 shall be compeiled to postpone further hearing at the inquest until Monday night to get his testimony. The story also runs that Dr. Gladding had openly refused to go to the inquest because he had not been summoned to hold the autopsy. The fight of last Sunday night was started because of the visit to the Mar. sellis’ house of Frank Lewls, or “Jeff, as he is called by the husband. It was about 10 o'clock at nlghl when Marsellis saw Lewis talking in the yard to his wife, The husband went out and struck Lewis with a block of wood. “Jeff” turned on L B i 2 B R R e n ) BUTCHERS' RAGES HAVE BIG ENTRY A liberal entry has been recelved for the trotting races to be held at Oakland racetrack next Wednesday, on the occa- ston of the butchers’ day celebration ' In addition to these there will be three or four running races.

She dragged Lewis off and he departed. Marsellis shook himrelf together, left the house and_did net .eturn until Monday morning. He declares that his wife was not hurt during the struggie. HEARD SISTER SCREAM. It was durlndc this battle, Mrs. Keller says, she heard her sister's screams. 'he version of the fight is that given by Marsellis to-night at the inquest. Neighbors thereabouts heard the battle and summoned Deputy Marshal Preston. He was told that Marsellis been fighting with Lewis because he objected te the visitor's attentions to his wife. There was nothing said then’'about Mrs. Marsellis' active part in the quarrel, so the officer departed. It is now the theory of the Investigating officers that the dead woman may. have received her injuries during that trouble, although Marsellis fusists his wife was not hurt then, ex- plaining that she made no complaint the next day when he returned home. It i3 common nelghborhood talk that Lewis had been a frequenter of the Mar- sellls place. He is a farmer, and has aiso been in the livery business in San Fran- clsco, The officers are trying to find him, and have requested the Sheriff of Contra Costa County to look for him at Lewis’ home aci the county Iipe. Marcellls does not deny that Lewis has been a visitor at his home, but he says it is his sister-in-law that Lewis has been glving attention. HUSBAND LEAVES HOUSE. As soon as Mrs. Marsellis died the hus- band, with his two children, went to his fither's home at 2912 Wheeler street, Lorin, There he remained urfder cover uatll late this afternoon, when he made a statement concerning the trouble, which was very like the evidence which he gave te-nigbt. The dead woman was Caroline Keller, member of an old Contra Costa Count; family. At the time of her father's delfl‘: she was left considerable property. She married Marsellis when he was a boy of 17, employed on her father’s ranch, just across the county line from Berkeley. Their life has been an unhappy one, ac- cording to Mrs, B. Marsellis, the hus- bund's grandmother. She sald: It is true that Hanlan has frequently beaten Caroline. He i violent of temper and a heavy drinker. Caroline got a divorce from him last October because of his cruelty, but they be- came reconclled again last February. During the married life of the Marsel- lises matters went from bad to worse unti] they landed in the tumbled down place af the edge of town, where the tragic end to the wife came. The Lewis who crops up as the possible cause of Marsellls’ furious and jealous rage had n seen around the place many times. He went to see Mrs. Mar- sellis on Sunday night, It Is said, to de- mand’ the return of a watch he had given her. Lewis had been working around the Marsellls place during the separation of the husband and wife. It was about that time that jealousy began to cause domes- tic jars. Coroner Mehrmann summoned the following jury to-night to the Inquest in the case of rs. Marsellls, which was held at the branch Morgue in Berkeley: D. L. Junck. H. W, Blanchard. J.

' Easley repaired at once to the Valley Hotel, where he met President, Mitchell of the mine workers, with whom he im- Diediately went into conference behind clcsed doors. Secretary Easley stated that his purpose was to “look over the ground.” Asked if he had received any message from Senator Hanna or any member of the Civic Feueration, Easicy rcpiied in the negative and added that he waus not acting i the capacity of a mes- senger. Fresident Mitchell remained close to headquarters and spent a busy day going over matters periaining to milers in many States. Nothing official was given out to-day regarding the calling out or tne bituminous men. it 1s understood, how- ever, that the three district presidents of the anthracite fieids are in communication ‘with the presidents or bituminous districts for the purpose of getting two of them to make up tne five neceseary to call a spe- clal national convention to consider lne advisability of calling out the soft coal miners. “This is believed to be a mers fcrmality, as it is thought the West Vir- ginia and Michigan districts wiil agree to the assembling of such a convention. Reports received at strike headquarters to-duy were to the eftect that the order to strike as being carried out to the let- ter. Several rumors reached here to-day that non-union men, of whom there are comparatively few, had made attempts Lo return to work in some localities, but none of these reports could be verified. WASHINGTON, May 17. — President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor to-day sald that no propositions had been outlined for submission to either side of the anthracite coal strike, looking to adjustment of the troubles. He stated that as president of the Federation, a member of the Civic Federation and as a citizen he proposed to do everything pos- sible to settle the differences, but that if any adjustment satisfactory to both sides could not be reached he proposed to stand by the miners in their ht for what they deemed their rights. He sald there was “nothing insthe air” as the result of last night's conference between himself, Sena- tor Hanna and Secretary Easley of the Civic Federation and no line of action had ’been outlined as the result of that meet- ng.

'The Contractors’ Assoclation, generally called the Sub-con- | tractors’ Association, composed of boss | painters, boss paperhangers, boss plum- bers, boss lathers and the like, issued the | following notice to the journeymen of their tradé® to-day: | The members of this association regard com- | tractors not belonzing to our association as urfair, and we also regard mechanics working for unfair contractors as unfatr, and we | regard journeymen who take jobs irom owners { of buildings by contract, or by the day a8 untair. The mechanics say that an attempt on | the part of the Sub-comntractors | tion to carry out this idea has caused tne | present strike; that the Sub-contractors | Association umcnmmdted_ against a union | painter in geod standiusg in his own union | ana practically gave him the “lockout as unfair because he did not obey the | rules laid down by the Sub-contractors’ | Asscelat:on. The ralaters’ Union protest- | ed, claiming that the action of the Sub- | contractors’ Association was unjust, | got the support of the Bullding Trades | e g hanie, the ccording to a unfon mec! sition of the Sub-contractors’ Association is that a journeyman who works for any one not a member of the Sub-contractors’ Association is thereafter to be debarred from working for any member of the as- | sociation. > The sub-contractors take the position | that they are compelled to adopt their rule as a matter of seif-protection because the Builders’ Association, which is com- | posed of the big contractors, passed a rule | forbidding members of the Sub-contrac- | tors’ Association from doing work for any builder not a member of the Builders’ As- | sociation. The journeymen mechanics de- | cline to be made to act the part of & buffer between the builders and the sub- contractors and declare that they will work for anybody who pays union wages.
