It is declared to be a fact that the employes of the manufacturing indus- tries have not been paid in from four to six weeks.

Early in the week before last Dowle made a personal trip through the va- rious shops. It has been customary at Zion City to start each day’s work In the shop with fifteen minutes devoted to prayer services. On the day in question, of the shops and talked for more than two hofirs to the employes. He told his followers and others that they must either wait for their salaries or | in’ must endure a substantial cut wages. They agreéd to wait. In one | shop a non-member of Dowie’s flock | asked Dowie why he was going to | Australia, if his finances were so bad. Perhaps I may not be able to go at’ all,” quietly returned Dowie. “I may have to stay and see thal things are | set right before I leavs | The receivers, with' their attorneys, | and Custodian Redieske, with six| deputy marshals, went to Zion City to- | night tq serve upon Dowie the notice | of the receivership.

While this was taking. place at- the bank the receivers and their attorneys. called upon Dowie and read to him.the ruling of-the court, which placed Zion City in the hands of a receiver.

Martin was the next | witness. He testified that he resided at the Palace Hotel and that he was called to go to Mrs. Coit's rooms last Wednesday afternoon by a maid of the | hotel, to see a man who had been | shot. | “I told the girl” .said Dr. Martin, | “that I @id not attend surgical cases, but that I would go to the rooms and see the man. I went to Mrs. Coit's | rooms and met her at the door. She took me into the room and I saw a | man lying on the lounge. Mrs. Coit said ‘That is the man; it was*purely ! accidental, it was purely accidental.’ I did not know the identity at that time of Mrs. Coit or Major McClung. SAW LARGE REVOLVER. “The wounded man asked me to help him and after making a cursory examination of his wound I saw that another physician was needed and I | so informed McClung and Mrs. Coit.” Dr. Martin then testified to seeing a large caliber revolver lying on the table in the room and of Mrs. Coit leaving him alone with McClung. This was at the time that Mrs. Coit went out to seek another physician. “When Dr. Shiels came in,” con- tinued Dr. Martin in his evidence, “he introduced .himself to me and I did the same to him. After Dr. Shiels had examined McClung he left the oom to telephone for an ambulance n order to remove the.patient to the hospital. While Dr. Shiels was away the pulse of the wounded man fell rapidly and he commenced to sink. I could not leave the wounded man and when Dr. Shiels returned I told him of the condition of McClung. We got -{a mattress and made McClung ag comfortable as possible.” Dr. Martin then testified that Dr. Shiels had informed McClung that he was, fatally wounded and that he would die and of McClung’s version of the shooting as given above.

All this time he kept up his divine heal. ing’ and many of- those who- canie to | he re- him to be healed became his stanchest | supporters in the church. It was -shortly after he began, the| services in the Auditorium that ke an- | nounced that he was ‘the successor of | Elijah, - the prophet of God, and that his teachings and actions were inspired. Four years ago Dowie begzan nego- tiations for the ‘purchase of the land .north of Waukegan, on which Zion City néw stinds. Having .procur=d options Gn a. tract of 6400 acres he platted it. Eighty cres were set aside for the lace factories, on which the industrial hopes of Zion City were. founded. Samuel | Stevenson went to Nottingham, Eng- land and ordered and paid deposits on lace making machines, which, with the accessories, when lald down in Chicago, cost almost $1,000,000. ZION CITY’S RAPID GROWTH. Zion TCity was formally opened on July 14, 1801, 'when Dowie took up his headquarters there In an old farmhouse, after making a speech of ‘consecration. Artisans were hurried to the place and the constructton of bulldings and streéts began. A year later the town had a popylation of 2000 persons, and at ‘the present time the population is esti- mated at about 10,000. The lace factories were opened more than a year ago; an immense hotel, an auditorium and administration bufld- ings constructed, brick, ‘candy and woodworking plants were established, |and at the present time an imposing building of stone for the Zion College | s In course of construdtion. 5 It was decided by °the recelvers that the Zjon City industries should be oper- | atea to-morrow as ‘usual.

Shiels was then sworn and he testified that he was called by Mrs. Whitney to go to Mrs. €oit's rooms last Wednesday evening, as Major - McClung had - been shot while visiting Mrs. Coit's apartments. “Mrg¢. Whitney came to me,” testified Dr. Shiels, “and asked me to'go quickly with her to Mrs. Coit’'s rooms. My room’is on the-same floor and I went at once with Mrs. Whitney.

Conse- quently China might hope ultimately {o attain a position where it would be able to také the leadership of theyel- low races into its own hands. Chinese officials are almost unani- mously of the ‘opinion that if Russia should procrastinate much beyond De- cember 5, when the Japanese Diet as- sembles, while at the same time piling up armaments in Manchuria, nothing can restrain the Mikado's people. It also is beliéved that if hostilities once begin Japan will strain every nerve to bring the whole fabric of Russian East Astan achlevements to the ground and to establish permanent barriers against their reconstruction. It is belleved that Burope ‘will do all it can to prevent a conflict, but will stand aside if its ef- forts should fail. The Russian legation has been in- formed that the Russian Viceroy of the Par Fast; Admiral Alexieff, will start from Port Arthur for §t. Petersburg to- morrow to consult with the authorities there regarding the negotiations be- tween Japan and Russia. The legation expects that the negotiations will con- tinue for lome months to come. wsm.nnun.s bul Student Armed With Dagger Arrest- s at the Marquis’ Villa. + YORKOHAMA, Dec. 1.—A Japanese medical student was arrested to-day on suspiclon of an attempt to assas- sinate the Marquis Ito. He carried a dagger - concealed under his kimono when arrested at the Marquis’ villa at Mizo. It is believed this attempt on the statesman’s, life was the outcome of recent suggestions in the sensational newspapers of Japan that a Ministerial assassination would be a patriotic_ac- tion, tending to produce a more warlike ‘policy on the part of the Government. TRIAL OF CHILEAN WARSHIPS. Raussin May Purchase If They Come Up to Requirements. GLASGOW, *Dec. 1.—The hlmm i Libertad, built for Chile, and which, it ing to the rooms Dr. Martin met me at the door and informed me that Major McClung was failing fast. I then told Major MecClung that he was fatally wounded and that he would die. It was then he asked me to send for his wife. “He sald: 'If T am going to die, I want my wife here.’ “I asked McClung to tell me how he had been shot and he said he was call- ing on Mrs. Colt, when Alexander Gar- nett came in. McClung said: ‘I heard Garnett threaten Mrs. Coit and I told him to go away.' " Dr. Shiels then testified to the state- ment of Major McClung as to how he had been shot by Alexander Garnett. Dr. Shiels next told of the removal of Major McClung to the Waldeck Sana- torium and the examination he made there of the wounded man. The physi- cian described the gradual failing of the patient and the loss of vitality that resulted irf death. TELLS DISTRICT ATTORNEY. . “When I saw that Major McClung was falling,” continued Dr. Shiels, "I at once notified the District Attorney’s office. An attache of that office came’ out to the Waldeck and saw me and sald he desired to take an antg-mortem statement. “I was asked by this attache if it would be wise to inform Major Mec- Clung that his dying statement was de- sired. I felt that as I had informed Major McClung that he could not live when I first saw him and that he had made a statement to me at that time, it would jeopardize the slight chance of his recovering to again shock him by telling him that death was near. I felt that there was a slight hope of recovery and that is why I did not again inform Major McClung that he was likely to die when the at- tache of the District Attorney’s office came to take his statement.” Dr. Shiels then told of the death of Major McClung, the autopsy and the burial of the body, at which the physi- clan was present. Dr. Shiels also identified the revolver with which McClung was shot by Alex- ander Garnett. Dr. Shiels, as_a mat- ter of precaution, had taken it from the table when he was called to Mrs. Coit's rooms and later on turned the weapon over to the police. NORA KENEALY TESTIFIES. Nora Nenealy, a maid at the Palace Hotel, was then called to the Witness stand. She testified that she had vis- ited Mrs. Coit's rooms last Wednesday afternoon shortly after 5 o'clock, and Mrs. Coit met her at the door and asked her to go for a doctor, as Major Mec- Clung had been shot. The girl testifled to calling Dr. Martin and accompany- ing him back to Mrs. Coit's rooms. The witness testified to seeing Major McClyng lying in a chair in the room, and of seeing Dr. Shiels and Mrs. ‘Whitney enter the apartments. “I did not hear Major McClung say anything about the ting,” continued the wit- ness. “Alld heard him say was that he and Gar hagd always been friends:” The witness stated that she di@ not kee either GaYnett or McClung enter the rooms of Mrs. Coit, but she had heard loud talking in the apartments just previous to ‘Mrs. Coit rushing out and apking the witness to get a doctor. The witness did not see Garnett with a revolver in his hand at any time, as she arrived at the rooms of Mrs. Coit after Garnett had thrown his pistol at the feet of Mrs. Coit in the hallway. MRS. McCLUNG IS CALLED. . Mr&. McClung, the widow of the mur- déred man, was then called into the in- quest room from the private office of Coroner Leland. She was - garbed in black and wore a heavy veil that shrouded her face. . Coroner Leland asked Mrs: McClung if she knew of anything that might be of value in the inquisition, but she re-. plied that her husband had not told "her any’ details of the shooting and that she knew absolutely nothing about the tragedy that might enlighten the Jury. Coroner Leland therefore did not call Mrs. McClung to the witness stand. Louis H.

Admiral Simpson of the Chilean navy was on board. He declined to discuss the negotiations with Russia, but it is understood that the latter will decide the question of the purchase of the Libertad after the present trials of that vessel. - SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Dec. 1.—The Chilean Government has not decided as to ‘the.sale of tHe battleship Liber- tad, which s now undergoing speed trials.on the Clyde, and of the battle- ship ‘Constitution, which is now in urse of construction there. It is un- d@erstood that offers for these ships have been received from the Govern- ments of Japan, Russia and Turkey. The highest bid made for both vessels has been $9,000,000, though it is not an- nounced by whom.this bid was made. B St MANY CABINET COUNCILS. British Statesmen Consider the Sit- uation in the Orient. LONDON, Dec. 2.—Georgé Wyndham, Chief Secretary for Ireland, speaking at ‘Woking last night, gald that the Gov- ernment had still ‘a great deal of work to do and that it was not true that a general election was impending. This official statement that the Government is not meditating a dissolution of Par- liament wiil increase the curiosity as to the reason for the holding of frequent Cabinet councils. Premier Balfour, Austen Chamberlain, the Chancellor of the Exchéquer, and Lord Landsdowne, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, had a conference at the Foreign Office to- day, and another Cabinet meeting will be held on Friday. It is the general belief that the situa- tion in the Far East is causing anxiety, owing to the unexpectedly protracted negotiations between Russia and Japan. The Daily Mail this ng says it thinks it is most likely the Cabinet has statement of Major McClung at the ‘Waldeck Sanatorium a few hours pre- vious to his death. The witness ex- plained how he desired to get an ante- mortem statement from the wounded man, but that Dr. Shiels feared to in- form Major McClung that he was likely to die. “TI then explained,” sald the witness, “to Major McClung the object of the statement I desired to secure. I told him 1f he recovered the statement would be ‘used as evidence, and that if he was so unfortunate as to die from his wound the statement would be; used as a memorandum In the case. He was not informed that he was likely to die from his wound. I then took. his | statement, which was signed by myself, | Dr. Shiels and Detective Cody as wit nesses, Major McClung placing hi: mark to the paper, McCLUNG’'S FINAL WORDS. | “The statement I secured and wit- nessed was as follows: “SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 1903. “My name is J. W. McClung. My | residence is at 857 Post street, in,this city. Last night about 5 o'clock I was [Eolng out from a call, when Mr. A. G. ‘Garnett came in. He (Garnett) was | asked to go away by Mrs. Lilllan Coit. | He pulled. a pistol and said he was go- ing to kill her. I'told him to B8O away, and he said, ‘G— d— you, I'll kill you.’ | Then he shot me once. He was wildly drunk. I was simply making a call This occurred in the Palace Hotel. I hope to recover from this injury. I can’t add anything more. . W. McCLUNG. “GEORGE FRANKLIN SHIEIE. “LOUIS H. WARD, . “CHARLES J. CODY.” Detective E. Byram testified to tak- ing the statement of Mrs. Coit on the | evening of the shooting of Major Mec- Clung, which statement has been pub- lished in full in The Call. . Detective T. L. Ryan testifled to ar- resting Alexander Garnett in Oakland | on the night of Thursday last and of the statement made by the arrested man on the boat coming to ‘this city. This statement of Garnett was to the | effect that Major McClung had tried | to eject him from Mrs. Coit’s rooms | and that he (Garnett) had drawn bis pistol to defend -himself and that the weapon was exploded in the struggle with McClung. Dr. Bacigalupi, adtopsy surgeon to the Coroner, testified to holding an au- topsy on the body of’ Major McClung and described thé nature of the wound that caused death. He told of finding that a heavy caliber bullet had en-. tered the front of the body just below the breastbone and lodged in the back near the ninth intercostal space after perforating the right lobe of the liver. He testffied that the pistol from which the bullet was fired must have been held close to McClung’s hody, as the wound was powder burned. This concluded the evidence, and Gar- nett was taken from the room and con- veyed to e City Prison, while the jury heard dence in a namber of other inquests. FINDS VERDICT Ol‘ MURDER. The jury then retired to dellberau, upon a verdict, and after passing on the testimony presented returned a ver- dict of willful murdér against Alex- ander Garnett in the following terms: " “That the said J. W. McClung, age 56 years, nativity Alabania, occupation re- tired broker, residence 857 Post street, in the city and county of San Fran- cisco, came to his death in the Waldeck Sanatorfum, in said city and county, on | the 26th day of November, 1903, from | shock and internal hemorrhage from gunshot wound of the upper abdomen; | and that said shot. was fired from a pis- | { tol in the hands of Alexander Garnett | with murderous intent.” . Alexander Garnett was arraigned yes- . terday morning before Police Judge Fiitz on the charge of having murdered Major McClung. Owjng to the wit-| nesses in the case being required to tes- | tify in the Coroner’s inquest the case | went over until to-morrow afternoon at | 2 o'clock. | | recelved an intimation that Japan is aware of Russia's fixed determination not to concede her demands, “in which | case a struggle- bétween Japan and; Russia is within measurable distance.” According to the Daily Mail's Tokio correspondent, Marquis Saionyi, ad- dressing members of the Sei Yukal party yesterday, sald the coming ses- sion of the Diet, involving the consid- eration of the problem of .Russo-Jap- anese relations, would be one of the most momentous ever held and that a single false step might precipitate a national calamity.
