mend for the various federal offices in the
State and outside of it.
The meeting extended over period of
four hours, and while harmonious enough
was not productive of any great results. 1t

dorse S. F. Osborne, of Los Angeles, for the

Killed Over a Servant.


CHARLESTON, S. c., March 12.-Captain
F. W. Dawson, editor of the Netus and
Courier and agent OF the Associated press
in this city, was murdered this afternoon
by T. B. Mellow, physician of this city.
1t seems that Mellow, who is a married
man and father of a family, has been too
familiar with Swiss maid in Captain
Dawson's family, and Captain Dawson
visited Mellow at his office to
demonstrate with him. Words and blows
followed, and the encounter ended in
Mellow shooting Captain Dawson through
the heart.
The murderer then locked up his Office
and went out Three hours later he sur
rendered himself to the police authorities
and the body of the murdered man was
found lying in McDow's office. The muir
der causes intense excitement, and there is
talk of lynching.

70 the fact and that no discretion was re-
Guired as to it: that there was large and
growing body of men in Canada that desired
9nneyation to the United States, but nobody
nronosed to accomplish it without the free
and intelligent and instructed will of the
people of both countries.
PoKING AROUND
Senator Cullom did not think there would
be too much investigation into the relations
existing and to exist between the United
States and Canada.
He very much desired such investigation,
and such progress should be made as would
ultimate in the two countries becoming one.
Senator Sherman favored the committee.
He did not believe, with the long stretching
border between, the two countries could
lang continue in peace. There would be
great nation springing up to the north OF
the United States, and that fact would ne
cessitate a standing army on each side
which would endanger the republican form
of government. He hoped some day for a
union as a popular movement OF both
peoples.
WOULD NOT COMMIT HIMSELF.
Senator Edmunds said he would vote for
a standing committee, but with the reserve
that the vote would not commit him TO
favoring the annexation or political union.
That step once taken would be lndlSSOluOle.
Senator Morrill, said he was quite willing
to have a committee appointed as it afforded
an opportunity for steam to be blown off on
the question. He regarded the whole
agitation on the subject as preposterous, as
there never had been time when Canada
was more loyal to Great Britain than now.
he WOULDN'T HAVE IT.
Senator Blair disclaimed the differences
to be drawn from the remarks of the Yer
mont senators that New England was not
in favor of political union.
Senator Frye spoke of the necessity OF
obtaining commercial and other statistics,
but declared any movement on the part OF
the United States looking towards anneXa-
ton would be a profound mistake and
would only retard.
After further debate Senator Payne
Withdrew the motion and all select com
mittees wer. agreed to and the Senate
went into executive session and confirmed
the nominations of Messrs. Palmer, Swift,
WashbuTne and TickenOr and soon after
adjourned.

CLEVER MR.. BLAINE.
He is Making Himself Solid in the Old Bay
State.

State.
Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The nomination
of Mr. Washburn of Massachusetts as
minister to Switzerland yesterday was a
clever move on the part of Mr.. Blaine. The
gentleman from Maine has a number of
friends in Massachusetts, whose political
interests he desired to further.
These people in the majority of cases
were not members of the Hoar faction, and
the presumption was that the junior senator
from that state would antagonize them.
Mr. Hoar, however, to Mr.. Blaine's great
deli yht called at the state department be-
fore the premier had been there twenty
four hours, and asked Mr.. Blaine if his
friend John D, Washburn, of Worcester,
could have the post minister to Switzerland.
Mr.. Blaine replied that he would do the
very best for the Massachusetts senator
that he possibly could. He kept his word
religiously and Mr.. Washburn was one of
the first three diplomatic nominations sent
to the Senate to-day.
Mr. Blaine's friends in Massachusetts
are reported to be delighted with the
premier's action, and are congratulating
themselves that so far, at least, as Mr..
Hoar is concerned there is nothing to fear
in the future.

LONDON, March 12.-In the house of
commons tonight the government was
questioned with reference to the statement
made by Robert L. Stevenson writing from
Hawaii regarding the Objectionable conduct
of the German Consul Knaffe, in Samoa.
Ferguson, the under foreign secretary, in
reply, admitted that Stevenson's statements
were correct, but pointed out that Ger
many had since recalled the offending
consul. The under secretary promised that
the papers covering the subject should be
laid before parliament.

REALLY SURPRISED.
A California Man to Catch the
Japan Mission.
0, THE RACE IS TO THE SWIFT.
The Appointment is Purely Personal One
and Shows the Presidents Inclination
to Please Mr.. Harrison.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
WASHINGTON, March 12.-John F. Swift.
of California, was busily engaged in tho
examination of a huge bundle of dry legal
papers in the United States supreme court
room to-day, when an excited page from
the senate chamber entered hurriedly with
slip of paper containing the names of Mr..
Swift, to be minister to Japan; ex-senator
Thomas w. Palmer of Michigan, to be
minister to Spain, and John d. Washburn
Of Massachusetts, to be minister and consul
general to Switzerland
The slip was handed to the clerk Of the
court who read the names aloud Mr..
Swift was somewhat surprised, yet the
nomination was not wholly unexpected by
him.
Justice Field, as well as the other mem
bers of the court, rendered to Mr.. Swift
their cordial congratulations and then the
newly appointed minister to Japan left for
the White house to thank the president in
person.
The fact that Mr.. Swift would be nomi-
mated to the Chinese or Japanese mission
was foreshOdowed in these dispatches last
week 1t was the presidents original in
cabinet, had not the California legislature
and politicians generally endorsed Mr..
Estee with so much unanimity.
President Harrison did not want Mr.
Estee and he did want Mr.. Swift. 1t was
not advisable, however, to select Mr.. Swift
under these circumstances and the Pacific
coast was therefore left out of his cabinet
altogether. Mr.. Swift arrived in Washing
ton on Friday last. He came here as the
government counsel in the Chin Pae Hang
case, and with no intention of securing an
office. He dined with the president the
following evening, but no intimation was
given to him of the compliment which Pres
ident Harrison proposed showing him
The president would be pleased to send
Mr. Swift to China, but the prejudice
against California in the east is very strong
and he believed therefore that our repre-
sentative to Picking should be from some
other state where the Chinese question, as
it is termed, is not so much of a political
factor as it is on the Pacific coast.
Since Mr.. Swift's selection as minister to
the port of Toxic, President Harrison is
very anxious that the government should
be represented in Japan by a man of char
acter and ability. He believes that the
commercial relations between the two
countries are susceptible of great develope-
ment, and the presence of an energetic
man there will go far towards securing
this result. The relation between the
Swift and Harrison family is one of long
standing intimacy, and Mr.. Swift's selec-
ton by the president to-day is of reason Of
this fact prominently personal appoint
ment.-
Mr. Swift will remain in Washington to
argue the Chinese exclusion case in the
supreme court which is fixed for the 18th.
instant.
Mr. Swift says in this connection that
the brief which Solicitor General jerks
has prepared in the case, is thorough and
comprehensive IN every respect.

A FOOL AND HIS WIFE.
A Man Who Had a Snap Only Gets Half
Million.

Million.
CHICAGO, March Especial from Nor
walk, Conn, says: Mrs. Thomas B. Gun
ming, daughter of Leland Stamford, of
California, one of the most estimable ladies
here, has been troubled beyond measure by
the conduct of her husband, who, if cur
rent reports be true, has not only squan-
dered her money, but divided his intention
with other women.
She applied to the Supreme Court for a
divorce.
Meantime the husband made use of her
signature upon checks for large amounts
and with the funds thus obtained extended
his outside performances going to Canada
to be in the fashion.
Having squandered all, he returned like
the prodigal son to beg the abused wife's
pardon.
The visit was a flying one, but long
enough for him to learn that Mrs. Gun
ming would agree to no reconciliation.
Then Cunning went to South America,
where he now is. 1t is said he got away
with over half a million dollars of his wife's
money before she began to realize the enor-
nifty of his operations.
Then she put her foot sQuarely down.
In court last Friday she easily made it ap-
parent that her case was just and an absO-
lutte divorce was granted.
