Coroner Green impaneled a jury, com- posed of well known business ‘men. The jury viewed the body, which was then taken to the residence of Gonzales, on Henderson street. Atterney Coleman T. Bleaz, who is said to be one of Tillman's lawyers, was present when the jury was at the hospital, but took no active part in_the proceedings. Soon after the death of Gonzales a tele- phone message carried the news to Cap- tain Sligh. the ceunty jailer, and he ap ‘prised Colonel Tillman. It is said that the latter received the intelligence with- out any expression or betokening any emotion. He was asked to-night if he would make o statement, and replied through his brother-in-law, ex-Judge Bu- chanan, that he had nothing to say. The funeral will take place from Trin- ity Episcopal Church at 4 o'clock to-mor- row afternoon. Rev. Ellison Capers, Bish- op of the diocese of South Carolina, will conduct the rites.

Nelson for Postmas- ter of this city to the Senate. The action of the President was not unexpected, because The Call on last Wednesday in its Sacramento dispatches predicted the selection of Nelson for the position. The story was an Interesting one and related how the contest for the job here had much to do with the elec- tion of Senator Perkins. The appoint- ment of Congressman Woods of San Joa- quin County as Naval Officer in San Fran- cisco and of J. La Rose Phelps, editor of the Stockton Independent, as his chief | deputy also entered into the affair. Thomas A. Nelson made his first ap- pearance in Joaquin County as a country schoolteagher and an ardent Re- publican fifteen years ago. He taught several terms in different public schools in the southern end of the county and became known as one of the best politi- cally informed men of this section of the State. He later engaged in a general mer- chandise business in Lathrop, and §t was while: there that he received the Repub- lican nomination for Assemblyman from the San Joaquin district outside of the city of Stockton. He was elected, and his co-representative from San Joaquin County was ex-Superior Judge E. 1. Jones of Stockton. At that time Perkins had been appoint- ed United States Senator by Governor | Markham to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Stanford. Assem- blymen Nelson and Jones became warm personal admirers of Senator Perkins and did much to secure his election by the Legislature, After serving his term Nel- son sold out his Lathrop store and en- gaged in a similar business in Stockton. He had always been an organization Re- publican, and shortly after moving to this city he was elected chairman of the Republican County Committee. He work- ed hard_to build up the organization and succeeded to a remarkable degree. served as chairman for two years, at the end of which time there was a vacancy in the Stockton Postmastership, and on recommendation of Senator Perkins Nel- son was appdnted Postmaster. He has now served in that capacity about five years. s —_— LAWS FOR THE TOILERS. Assembly Committee Will Recom- mend Bills to Benefit Working People. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 19.—The Assembly Commit- tee on Labor and Caplital spent the even- ing considering two bills intended to ben- efit working men and women and recom- mended both for passage. One bill provides that women shall not be compelled to work more than fifty- eight hours a week and that seats shall be provided for theth where practicable. The other is aimed at unscrupulous em- ployment agencies, of which, it was the belief of the committee, many exist in San Francisco. This bill, which fixes the remuneration of the agent at 10 per cent of the first month’s wages of the person for whom employment is obtained pro- vides that no charge shall be made for “registration or information,” but only for the actual suDRIVINg of a place. The committee believes\ It .has in this bill one that will stop all crooked practices of employment agen RETURN OF BOWEN. Proceeding to Washington as Vene- zuela’s Representative. CHARLESTON, S. Jan. 19.—The dis- patch boat Dolphin, from Kingston, with Minister Bowen and Mrs. Bowen on board, came into the bharbor this morning. Bowen said he was going to Washington to fepresent Venezuela on the commission which would prepare the plan for arbitra- tion of the difficulty between that coun- try and the European powers. He was not an attorney for Venezuela, he ex- plained, and was not to Be remunerated for his services. He said he was aeting at the request of the Venezuelan Govern- ment and at the desire of the United States Government, in the hope that his undertaking would bring about an early settlement of the trouble. Bowen said that the Venezuelan Government had al. lowed $5000 for the expense of his mission, which he would account for in the usual form. and that besides this there would no expense to Venezuela for his ser- vices.

Emmons and Curtin held Sl:ll if the contestant had no gwound of con- test other than the allegation that bal- lots improperly stamped had been count- ed for the Republican candidate, the re- port of the committee should be against the contestant.

The Republican majority in each branch of the Legislature is so overwhelming that no party advantage an be gained in the decision of tne con- tests now pending. Kahn in Washington and Livernash in Sacramento are deepl concerned in the legislative decisions. The result recorded on the face of the returns gave Livernash the certificate ax Legisia- ed a 1 distinguishing the Representative-elect in the Fourth Congressional District, and he and his friends are particularly anxious that the ballots shall not be disclosed for com- mittee inspection.
