who shot and killed Judge Terry at La
throp recently, commenced in the Unit
ed States circuit court in San Francisco

on the "Umbria" to-day, carrying in
their pockets all the tanneries in New
England and New York. They have
been actively at work the past six weeks
in the interest of English capitalists,
and as an evidence of their success they
take with them all the plans and figures
for surrendering the control of this big
industry to an English syndicate. The
