Remarkable Coolness-The NOto-
rfoua RuckIeY Gagged.

On Saturday man called st the Adj
iutant Generals office, and desired to
have an interview with Gen. Jones.
BE was admitted, and asked TO sit
down and state his mission He took
a char and informed the General that
he was q friend of Charles Buckley, an
escaped convict, and had called to see
if their was any hope of his being par
doned, should ne conclude to turn
STATE EVIDENCE,
and put the officers on the track of sew
eral outlaws. He then produced let
ter purportine 20 have been written by
Buckley, which divulged few Sc
crets about certain criminal acts in
which he had figured, and intImAted
that there were many others to be laid
bare, provided the mission of his
friend was successful. Gen. Jones was
perfectly familiar with the doings OF
Buckley and questioned his visitor
closely. He asked many pointed ques-
lions that could only be answered by
Buckley himself, but, strange TO say,
the answers came correctly and
promptly. Indeed they were answered
so well and infinitely, and with such q
degree Of accuracy that Gen. Jones at
once came TO the conclusion that his
visitor was
BUCKLEY HIMSELF.
The General was informed that Buck
ley was in San Antonio and ready 10
give himself up and turn states evil
dence should satisfactory assurances be
made that he would be psrdoned. He
was also informed that a week ago
Buckley was in Austin and interviewed
the Governor at the Mansion, and that
his excellency expressed q Willingness
to pardon him If his information was
IS valuable to the state as he claimed
it was. Here Gen. Jones requested his
visitor 10 remain seated Il few moments
while he stepped into the Governor
office. There he was informed that
one night last week q msR claiming to
be friend Of Buckley's had called at
the Mansion Tor the purpose Of gettir g
him pardoned if possible. Mr.. Spain,
the Governors secretary, described the
man, and il fitted. Gen. Jones' visitor
exactly. The General then requested
Mr.. Spain to accompany him to his of
fee, where they found the visitor as
cool as a cucumber. On entering the
Office the General said, "EoU are
Buckley, and must go to Jail" TIE
man said, "You are right in the man. p"
Gen. Jones then marched his prisoner
to Jail. While searching him the
Willy BUCKLEY
was discovered trying to get small
steel saw up one of his coat sleeves.
A large knife was found in his boots.
Buckley Is a notorious character, and
has been involved in many serious
criminal acts. Some years ago he MUIR
dered man and was sent to the penI-
Tertiary, but was pardoned out by
Governor Hubbard. Since then he has
been in many scrapes and not long ago
was sent up for eight years for stealing
horses. He escaped from the peniten-
tiary some months ago.

An Improved Audiphone.

An improvement IN the American au-
diphone has recently been announced.
which it is claimed will bring that val
liable invention into more general use
among the deaf. The audiphone Is the
invention of Mr.. r. G.. Rhodes, of
Chicago, aud was designed to supersede
the hearing trumpet in cases of partial
deafness. 1t is made of hard ebonite
rubber, and consists of a thin plate
capable of bending, and when curved,
the convex side turned outward and
the instrument pressed against the up
per front teeth, sounds received on the
plate cause it to vbrate, the vibrations
being conveyed by the teeth and bones
of the skull to the auditory nerves.
Professor Calladou, of Geneva, substi-
tutes for the ebonite a cheap strip of
elastic card board, with a smooth glazed
surface. Experiments made in an in
stitutlon for deaf mutes, near Geneva,
with this new form of the audiphone,
''yield results quite equal, if not supe-
riOr," it is said, ''to those afforded by
the ebonite article of fifty times the
cost" Supplied with this simple con-
triYance number of deaf mutes sta
toned near a grand piano and blind
folded could at once distinguish be-
tween its high and low notes, and be-
tween its tones and those of violon-
cello.
But still greater improvement has
just been announced in the audiphone.
After long series of experiments, says
the English scientific journal, Nature,
Mr.. Thomas Fletcher has found the
best material of which the audiphone
can be made is brentwood veneer: Cut
into an oval disk, steamed and bent to
curve, 1t can be conveniently held
between the teeth almost without con-
seriousness of its presence. For some
persons any audiphone ls more eff
cient help than the trumpet, and this
last named modification of the instru-
ment promises to become boon to
thousands. The astonishing amount of
defective vision which recent expert
ments IN color blindness has shown to
exist is perhaps not greater than that
of defective hearing, as DR.. Carpenter
has shown and many persons who hear
some sounds we'll cannot distinguish
others of different pitch. If the au-
diphone can be made light and easy to
handle there Is no doubt 1t would be
used by hundreds who cannot brook
the clumsy trumpet, and no reason why
1t may not rival the eyeglass as an aid
to impaired sensibllity.

DOMESTIC.

WASHINGTON, May 10 SENATE -
The President pro tenn, Thurman. laid
before the Senate q communication
from the Secretary of the Interior,
stating that his estimates of March 8,
for deficiency for arrears and the army
and navy provisions have been found
insufficient, and transmitting an in
crease estimate of same.
Several petitions in favor of the Es-
ton tariff commission bill were pre-
sented. Among them was one which
was very numerously signed by New
England manufacturers, in Offering
which Dawes called attention to the
very large number of sub petitions pre-
sented since the bill was favorably re-
ported from the Finance Committee.
He hoped that the chairman of that
committee would seek to call up the
bill out of its regular order and secure
its passage. The demand was justice
to all interests, and therefore for per-
manency no class legislation was asked
for. There was manifestly an impos-
sibility in fully revising the tariff in the
committee of the whole of the Senate.
Many .fruitless attempts to harmonize
and satisfy the numerous class inter-
ests bore out this statement. The
committee, which could give the sub-
ject full and deliberate consideration,
would alone give satisfaction to the
manufacturing interest of the country,
not now as formally, mainly confied to
one section, but extending over the
whole country.
Bayard, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, said the committee had shown
their opinion of the merits of the bill
in the best way open to them, namely,
by reporting it promptly with & fsYora-
BILE recommendation.
The last bill considered or the cal
endar wss No. 304. The tariff bill
was No. SO. II was well known how
slowly the business in the calendar was
disposed OF, and yet how much oppose
ton was always made to taking up out
of its regular order, q bill that would
evidently lead 70 debate. He person
ally would use every effort to get the
bill considered.
Plat believed there was under
the spread 3 demand for 8 tsnff
commissioner, and there was & DISPOSE
ton in the Senate to consider 1t 81 An
earIy day.
Bayard said il il was possible he
would call il mp in the morning hour
tomorrow.
Garland said he hoped the Eaton
bill would speedily come up. when be
would offer q bill which he introduced
two years ago for the Tsnf Commit
tee. The bill differs from Esson's
bill mainly in providing that the board
of commissioners should be composed
partly Of members Of Cogress-
Baysrd said the Finance Committee
bad shown their opinion Of Merritt's

To the Democracy and the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee OF
Travis County.
We are upon the threshhold OF an
important nstionsl, state and county
canvass; and thst We may be armed
for the contest, We saould awaken 20
full sense of responsibility and en-
| ter upon an organization of the party
with right good will snd an avoEed
purpose of success. The people sre
truly snd rightly the soverigEs, ana
they should, from time TO time, meet
to discuss snd counsel upon all ques-
tions affecting their political and gen.
ersl welfare. In view. therefore, OF
the propriety and importance OF eff
fectiug an organization of the party,
and that the Will OF the party may Be
| fully expressed in its primaries, so thst
delegate conventions may understand
and acs upon the desire and consent
of the individuals composing the
party ard not solely upon the will Of
| delegates in such conventions-it is
urged that Democrats IN every pre-
cinct IN the county meet together and
consult as 20 the best interests OF the
country and party. No sntsgonisms
should be permitted among Demo-
crats because of differences of opinion
as 10 the men that should be placed
forward for high or low places. SO
far as the welfare of the party is con-
cerned this is not a material question,
but merely an Incidental one. No
few men are the guardians Of the
party or the custodisns of its prInci-
plies. All Democrats should and Will
uphold such men AS are put forward
by proper acting and properly con-
stituted conventions. The committee
men of the several precincts should
direct the organization In their
several precincts, and, where vacancies
exist in the executive committee OF
any precinct, such vacancies should be
filed in the best practicable manner
and at the earliest practicable time.
Meetings should be called without de-
lay The executive committee of the
county, including rs it does each pre-
cinct committeeman in the county, is
hereby called to meet at my Office, over
Raymond's bank, on Saturday, June
5, at 12 o'clock NJ. Each and every
committeeman in the county Is asked
aud urged to be present at this meet
ing. 1t Is hoped that good results
will flow from it. It is proposed that
the committee consult and adopt gem
eral plans for the approaching can
vass, which promises to be an inter-
esting one. Let US enter upon the work
with renewed zeal.

1t 10 refreshing to see the hopeful
view which Senior Parson Kalloch
takes of the future ministry of the Jun
Tor Kalloch, who Is now in the San
Francisco Jail for shooting DeYoung.
The elder parson expresses his trust
that the murder which the youthful
one has committed will not seriously
interfere with his usefulness as a MN
ister of the Gospel. He admits that 1t
will be the proper thing for the church
people, ccordlng TO their usual custom,
TO pass judgment on the youog man
for being shedder of blood, This,
however, will be mere church CEN
sure, and ought not to interfere with q
mans usefulness, in declaring the
truths of the Gospel. The Reverend
Kallocb, Junior, has been serving as
assistant pastor to the Reverend Kali
Loeb, Senior. The young man is chip
fl the old block. The Senior thinks
that like" will soon be out of Jail and
preaching the good tidings of the Cos
pei to the benighted San Frsciscans, as

Charles DeYoung, the San Francisco
editor, was small man, dark, quick 81
cat, and utterly fearless. he was 6
prodigious worker in newspaper Of
fee, writing little but revising every.
thing. His chief strength lay in his
extraordinary ability at saying vol.
ume Of mean things about mao In
three lines; and as he enjoyed fight,
spent money like water IN trial for
counsel" and never gave up, he was
a dissgreeable man to have row with.
A weeks absence made itself appsr-
eut in his paper, snd1he San Francisco
Chronicle was never quite itself except
when he was on the ground. OF late
years he has been pretty uniformly on
the right side, and he was almost the
only editor on the Pacific COST who
would oppose q candidate whom the
Central Pacific wanted elected.
