washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Attoruey-
General Garland has notified district at
torney White at Tacoma, Washington
Territory, that he will be given whatever
legal assistance he may require in prose-
cutting the persons arrested for completely
in the attacks recently made IN Chinese
residents of that locality.
Speaker Carlisle said to a Republican re-
porter tonight, in speaking of the plan
proposed by Springer to change the rules
ofthe house, that the plan did not origin
ate with Springer. i" Ever since the 10th
congress. he said, there has been dis
satisfaction at the present rules, and this
movement is the result of that dissatisfac-
ton from what I hear, and the strong adj
vocacy the plan seems TO have, | think, it
is probable that the rules will be changed. ~
He said the plan to distribute the appro-
priations ireer amongst committees is not
an attack on Mr.. Randall any more than
on any one else, as the same dissatisfaction
was manifested when Mr.. Hiscock and
Mr.. Atkins were at the head of the APP
preparations committee. 1T is not the
desire" he said, TO take away any OF
Mr.. Randalrs power, and / don't think
there ever was any such feeling. The
complaint is that the handling of all APP
preparation bills is too much work for the
appropriation committee. \ change
would facilitate legislation Mr.. carlisle
said he favored the distribution of bills to
the proper committees, excepting the sun.
dry civil, Legislative and general deficiency
bills, as they really belong to no othel
committee. He said hat the proposed
revision would work good results.
Speaker Csrlislc's condition is very
much improved. He vas able to leave

SANDUsKY, Nov. 20.-The county in
Urinary near this city was partially des-
troyed by fire tonight. Five women were
burned to death. The superintendent
was badly injured. He is unconscious.
There was ninetY-eight inmates.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 20.-A special
dispatch to the Leader from Sandusky,
o., says: A fire broke out in the Erie
county iniirmary tonight and destroyed
the main building. Five Of the ninety
eight inmates persisted in the flames.
They were all in the northwest wing of
the building, where the fire originated.
As the institution was two miles from the
city, and as there were no facilities there
for extinguishing the flames, considerable
difficulty was experienced in getting water
on the fire. Two engines went from this
city, but on their arrival the fremen
found the building a mass of fire. While
endeavoring to save the inmates Superin-
tendent Motry was injured, and now lies
in a precarious condition. The loss is
estimated to be between $l5, 900 and
$4,000. The amount Of insurance can
not be a%scertained tonight.

A FRENCH TRAGEDY.
A Wife Hires a Man to Murder
Her Husband.
The Woman Acquitted of Com
plicity in the Crime.
A Realistic and Sensational
Scene in Court.
Murdered While AsIeep.

NEW York, Nov. 20. The London
correspondent of the Maui and Express
cables as follows: "a great sensation has
been caused by a peculiar murder trial in
France, and it is feared that trouble may
arise from the state of popular feeling. A
farmer named Boudouin was killed while
asleep in bed. His wife was lying by his
side, yet declared that she did not hear
the noise of firearms, Notwithstanding
that the man was shot. His wife assert
ed that the first intimation she had Of his
murder was the smoke from the weapon
used by the assassin, and the blood which
flowed from the wound made by the bull
let.
The story does not receive much ere
dence, even by those disposed in the
wOman's favor, but suspicion fell on a
young vagabond named Braguel, who had
been employed on the farm, but had been
discharged. The fellow on being arrested
not only confessed to have committed the
crime, but asserted that he had been insti-
gated by Nine. Boudouin to XII. her hus-
band, and had been paid by her for doing
the deed. The wife's reason, Braguel de-
clared, was her rage at his alleged firta-
tons with other women
The murderer said that the woman ad-
mitted him by a window at night, and
when he had entered the room returned
Immediately to the bed and lay down be-
side her husband, who was fast asleep.
Braguel was armed with a gun which he
rested across the woman's legs in order to
get proper aim, and so shot the man.
The court room was the scene of a very
realistic and sensational effect in the
course Of the trial The Judge had the
blood-stained bed brought into court, and
compelled the prisoners, the murderer and
the wife, to assume the identical positions
which they occupied at the moment of the
murder as described by Braguel. Not
outstanding the overwhelming evidence
against the woman, the jury acquitted
her of completely, and Braguel was found
guilty and condemned to Imprisonment
for life.

Hostile DENOMINATIONS

MONTREAL, Nov. 20.-At a Riel meet
ing on Champ de Mars last night, chair
man NJ. o. David, after condemning the
government, asked the audience to swear
over the body of Riel to never forgive
those who were responsible for Riel's
death, and also to adopt his children as
those Of the nation, Hon. Mr.. Mercier
protested solemnly against the fate of
Riel, and called on the people to turn out
the three towards in the cabinet. Geo.
Duhamel, conservative, said Riel was a
sublime fool, and would soon have been
forgotten if incarcerated in the peniten-
tiary or in a lunatic asylum. Instead of
that he had descended to the grave, or
rather had mounted the pedestal of i'm
mortality.
MONTREAL, Nov. 2Q.-Strong police
patrols are on duty tonight ready for
action in case any trouble occurs. A sol
emn requiem mass was celebrated at the
church of Notre Dame de Pittie this
morning for the repose of Riel's soul at
the request of a member of the Union St.
Joseph. At a meeting of the Canadian
Artisans society to day it was resolved to
protest publicly against the execution of
Riel and to have a solemn mass requiem
chanted in the church in St. Jean Bap-
tiste village on the 2Gth inst. for the re-
pose of the soul Of the deceased Metis
chief.
La Ratue thinks that the government
is alarmed at the sentiment displayed by
the French Canadians and Irish over Riei's
execution, and shrinks from the butchery
of the Indians, fixed for the 9th. Itsays
the Indians will be pardoned, but that
this act Of mercy will be done too late and
the past cannot be retrieved.
The club National and the St Jean
Baptiste society tonight adopted resolu-
tons condemning the execution of Itiel.
The ST. Jean Baptiste society also decided
to have masses said for the repose of his
soul, and ask similar societies in Ontario
and the United States and other places to
do likewise. 1t is expected that there
will be forty speakers at the Champs de
Mans meeting on Sunday. No disturb
anees have been reported tonight.
SHERBRooKE, Quebec, Nov. 2O.-Up-
holders Of the government gathered in
groups last night for the purpose of pre-
venting any attempts hat might be made
to burn efigies Both parties were out in
strong force. Speeches were made on
both sides and the action of the govern
ment criticised and applauded by turns
amid much excitement. Two anti-govern-
ment men were seriously injured, the
head Of one being split open.

Enthusiastic BuIgarians.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Dispatches re-
ceived here state that the Servians have
become dispirited over their recent re-
verses. The Bulgarians, on the other
hand, have been aroused to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm by the example of
Prince Alexander and the victories gained
under his leadership. They have gradu-
ally driven back the Servians' advance
line until the Bulgarian forward line of
entertainments is within a mile of the
Dragoman village. In the fighting yes
terday the Servian loss was 500 men
killed and wounded One of Prince
Alexander's aides was killed during the
brunt of yesterdays engagement.
VIENNA, Nov. 20.-The Bulgarians
yesterday repulsed the Servian attack in
the direction of Widen.
BELGRADE, Nov. 20.-After an ex-
change of dispatches between Count Kal
noky, the Austro Hungarian minister of
foreign affairs, and NJ. Garachnine, Serv-
ian premier and minister of foreign affairs,
the latter has gone to Prot to remain
with King Milan until decisive action has
been taken at Slivnitza. Hostilities are
in allegiance to-day IN honor of the feast of
st. Michael. The Servian guards con
Quoting the prisoners to this city look
iatigued and careworn.
A rumor prevails here that Prince
Alexander has proposed an armistice.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The Times has ad-
vices stating that King Milan's advisers
counsel him to propose immediate peace,
whether Sofia be captured or not, and
hat a treaty of peace will probably he
arranged next week.
Prince Alexander has ordered the Is-
moyal of the state archives from the
treasury at Sofia to a place of safety.
They will probably be taken to Shumla.
The consuls at Sofia are removing their
papers to Rustchuk and elsewhere.

says that some of the powers, including
Austria, oppose the Turkish mediation,
and insist that a conference shall be held
at Constantinople to decide the Balkan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Capt. Ram.

in his annual report recommends that
permits for admission as cadets be issued
one year prior to the time fixed for exam.
nation, and renews lis recommendation
that all candidates for admission be re-
CURED to report for examination on the
18th of May. The number OF recruits to
go on the next practice cruiser renders it
necessary that a ship, to take the place of
the Dale, be fitted out for a practice ship
and sent to Annapolis By May. 1t will,
says Capt. Ramsey, be impossible to do
Justice to the cadets, and give them re-
quired instructions, with only one practice
ship. He recommends that selections for
line engineer corps and marine corps be
made at the end of a four years course
instead of a six years course.

BELGRADE, Nov. ga Servian Off
cial DESPATCH from Tzaribrod says. The
Seryian repulse at Slivnitza is attributed
to the action of Gen. Govanavitch, com
mander of Danube division, who made
several tactical mistakes, and failed to ex-
ecutc certain strategic movements Pour
divisions of Servians have now been CON
centrated Just beyond Dpgoman, and

Particulars of Thursdays Fighting

HaftlculurS OF InurSuay 5 tlBullHB
SOFIA, Nov. 20.-The following are adj
ditional details of the fighting yesterday.
The right wing Of the Bulgarian army
yesterday morning advanced from its for
tilted position and attacked the Servlans
position between Slivnitza and Dragoman.
The center column of the Bulgarian army
soon followed in order to support the
right. Fighting then became general.
The Bulgarians not being able to drive
the Servians from their intrenchments,
toward noon the left wing of the Bulgarian
army also advanced and assumed the
offensive. An obstinate engagement en-
sued, lasting till G O'Clock in the evening.
The Bulgarians found it not an easy task
to dislodge the Servians from their posi-
tons. The former fought desperately,
however, and finally compelled the Serv-
ians to retreat to Dagoman, the Bull
garians holding all roads leading thereto.
The latter took 400 prisoners, including
several officers. Up to noon to-day there
has been no further fighting, the Bull
garians decming it prudent not to attack
at present the Seryians at Dngoman,
which has very strong natural f%ortiica-
fiOns.

HEAVY Rams and Washouts.

SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. cot has
rained almost steadily throughout the
state for five days. It cleared off this
morning, but rained harder than ever to-
night. The total fall for the month up to
s O'Clock this evening is s 200 inches.
This has never been exceeded except,
perhaps, in the year AZ, when II s0-lO0
inches fell during October and November.
Judging from the rainfall tonight, the
probabilities are that before the present
month is ended that record will be ex-
cecded. Reports from Los Angeles to-
night state hat portions Of the Southern
Pacific railroad between Sepulyeda and
San Fernando has been washed out and
the San Fernando tunnel caved in several
places, The damage so far, however, is
not considered serious.
A dispatch tonight states that Charles
Crocker, vice president of the Southern
Pacific company, and party, who left
some days ago for the East, are detained
by floods on the Colorado desert. They
have started back on their return to this
city. The Southern Pacific has sen. out
construction trains to all points where
washouts are reported. Heavy washouis
are also reported on the California South
en railroad. which connects with the
Atlantic & Pacific road. The railroad
bridge in Caion pass, on the California
Southern, has been washed away and the
Atlantic & Pacific track near Ludlow sta
ton badly washed out in several places.
A cloud burst in Devil s. canyon, near San
Bernardino, last night destroyed the toll
road for some distance, and the gate
keeper and family barely escaped drown
ing. Damages from floods are also re
ported from mary other points in the
state.
