SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-Geo. Schwartz, |
Il well known political manipulation ana pro.
prietcr Of a store on Mo tgomery between
California and Pine streets. was shot in his
place OF business about eleven O'Clock by
Dudley Haskell, a young man employed in
the law Office of Lat mer IL Morrow. Has
kell approached the counter and enquired for
schwartz and as the latter came forward
Haskell said: "You called me a son Of a
- last night; will you retract it:"
Schwartz denied the statement roughly, when
Haskell drew a pistol and fred one shot
which missed. Schwartz turned to run when
the second shot took effect in the back of his
head causing death il, few minutes. A
grea: crowd gathered instantly. Haskell was
| seized by the bystanders and an officer coming
up ne was takcnto the station. epersistently
refused to make any statement whatever and
the underlying cause Of the trouble is diff
cult to arrive at. The affair creates consider
| able excitement and the crowd still fingers
| around the scene of the assassination. 1t is

expressed in the United States that the whole

bDepar.ment and The Foreign Office without
the North American Colonies having a voice
in the matter, betokens misapprelcnsons of
the policy of the British Empire which ac-
cords to its seIf-governing colonies freedom
Of ;acton which is limited only by Imperial
considerations. 1t is somewhat surprising
that the United States, which owe their en-
istence as il nation to the vrry principle that
a colony must have a voice in any negot-
-! A., n,
understand the same principle when asserted
on behalf of Canada. 1t looks as it the
fishing privileges granted by the treaty of
Washington We're Of greater value than thA
people of the United States have been hithe
to willing to allow. 1t is satisfactory to find
that the government at Washington repudi-
ates all intention of asking any reconslera-
tou of the Halifax award on the grounds OF
subsequent i'll treatment of fishermen"
